RUNDOWN   Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star"). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence. Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald. Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors. Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is. RJ notes that the offense remains among the league's weakest, while Dylan credits new head coach Lane Lambert for installing a defense-first system that maximizes effort and structure.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion RJ Eskanos | Co-Founder, Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Analyst, Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Mafia Mitch to Cher in Fresno — Episode 357 Starts with a Bang 14:40 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 19:20 | From Lenny's Legacy to Mr. Playoffs: Seahawks Roll to 7–2 and Dream of the NFC's Top Seed 35:17 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Déjà Vu Defense: Two Scoop-and-Scores, a Surging Run Game, and Seattle's NFC Statement Win 57:53 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Disaster in Madison, Trickery in L.A., and Oil-Money Football: Rick Neuheisel Dares to Dip 1:29:42 | GUEST: Kraken No-Table; Effort, Defense, and a Little Luck: Can the Kraken Keep Floating Above the Ice? 1:49:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend "Scooter", Mariners free agency (Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Mitch Garver, bullpen decisions), debate on re-signing Suárez vs. internal options, Matt Kalil divorce/CamSoda "offer" saga, USC's Sam Huard fake-punt jersey trick, Mark Sanchez fired by FOX & replaced by Drew Brees, Erik Spoelstra house fire note, Antonio Brown arrest & attempted murder charges, Indiana volleyball assistant coach gambling infractions, Guardians pitchers betting scandal & "is everything rigged?" angst RIPs: Mia Hammond (21-year-old Washington women's soccer goalkeeper), Paul Tagliabue (former NFL commissioner), Marshawn Kneeland (Cowboys DE, 24), Victor Conte (BALCO figure), Dick Cheney (former U.S. Vice President), Diane Ladd (Oscar-nominated actress) HEADLINES: Donald Trump "deny visas to fat people" bit, Dave Ramsey's "15–20 houses for God" rant, Kim Kardashian underwear with built-in pubic hair, Matt Kalil "two Coke cans" closer gag

The Seahawks are like a tidal wave as they have overwhelmed teams each of the last three games, so Brock and Salk what has caused this stretch of success. They also look into the strides that Mike Macdonald has taken as a motiavtor, specifically citing Tyrice Knight and Riq Woolen as two guys who lost their starting roles and have stepped up in a big way over the lact couple weeks.

Brock and Lefko discuss the health of the Seahawks going into Sunday's game against the Cardinals and what it could mean for the debut of Rashid Shaheed.
