RUNDOWN   Nugget ice machines, clinking noises, and bizarre celebrity rumors (yes, even LeAnn Rimes' teeth). The warm-up turns nostalgic as the show celebrates musical birthdays for Billy Ray Cyrus, Gene Simmons, and Elvis Costello. And what about the chaos of late August sports: college football's return, the NFL looming, and the Mariners somehow both collapsing and contending at the same time? Hotshot recounts the fantasy football fiasco that ended his playing days back in 2007, while Mitch embraces his role as a “passionate pessimist” when it comes to Seattle baseball. And through it all, one bright spot remains—Brian Woo quietly posting Cy Young–level consistency, even if the voters never notice. Mitch interviews Nancy King, who was just 16 when a family trip to Seattle in August 1964 turned into the story of a lifetime. From checking into the Beatles' hotel, to a chance encounter with a Liverpool journalist, to being ushered into a private room where she spent 30 unforgettable minutes with John, Paul, George, and Ringo — Nancy recounts how one magical evening reshaped her life and inspired decades of storytelling. CBS analyst and Rose Bowl–winning coach Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to open another season of weekly college football chats, breaking down the new 12-team playoff format, the looming SEC and Big Ten power plays, and the frenzy around Arch Manning's Texas debut in Columbus. He weighs in on Washington's year-two outlook under Jedd Fisch, Heisman dark horses, and makes his first official “Rick's Pick” of 2025 — with Oregon and LSU circled for January glory. Mitch welcomes back Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas for episode 348 of this Mariners No-Table segment, where the trio dissects Seattle's uneven road trip, a roster struggling against lefties, and what Cal Raleigh's historic home run pace means for the franchise. With Padres, Guardians, and Rays looming, the group debates roster moves, Harry Ford's September call-up chances, and whether the Mariners are missing their moment to bury Houston.   GUESTS   Nancy King | Eyewitness to the Beatles' 1964 Seattle stay and lifelong storyteller of that night at the Edgewater Hotel Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Nugget Ice to Beatles Nights 21:56 | Passionate Pessimists, Fantasy-Free Since '07, and Mariners in the Madness 35:30 | GUEST: Nancy King; From North Dakota to the Edgewater: A Teenager's Night With the Beatles 1:05:25 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Kicks Off College Football: Playoff Paths, Arch Madness, and Husky Hopes 1:34:28 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners No-Table: Clunky Rosters, Cal Raleigh's Power Surge, and a Crucial Week Ahead 2:02:21 | Other Stuff Segment: Chinese Taipei wins Little League World Series, Issaquah loses to eventual softball champion Texas, Seahawks preseason struggles & roster cuts (Marquez Valdes-Scantling uncertainty), Lee Corso's final College GameDay broadcast, John Wall retires from NBA, Bengals Ring of Honor controversy (Boomer Esiason email & Corey Dillon snub), Roger Federer declared billionaire via On Running stake, Nolan Bushnell turns down 1/3 of Apple for $50K, Sean Kemp sentenced to 30 days home detention, Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant card sells for $12.93M, Ro Crowder rearrested for sniffing strangers, Bellevue Pickleball Club opening.

Today's Headlines: In maybe another Epstein distraction tactic, Trump held a fiery presser to announce he's taking control of DC's police and sending 800 National Guard troops for 30 days — despite crime being at a 30-year low. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser called it “unlawful” and noted Congress could've given her Guard control years ago. Trump also hyped his upcoming Alaska meeting with Putin to discuss “land swaps” for ending the Ukraine war. Zelensky isn't invited, but Trump hinted at a follow-up meeting, while European leaders scramble to meet him first. A judge blocked the DOJ's push to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury records, calling it a distraction. The US and China extended their tariff truce for 90 days, and the US will now take 15% of Nvidia and AMD's China AI chip sales for export licenses. Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in September, joining Canada and France. At home, a gunman killed 3 people outside an Austin Target, and explosions at a US Steel plant near Pittsburgh killed 1 and left another missing. Severe storms in the Midwest caused deadly flooding in Milwaukee, shut down the Wisconsin State Fair, and left 14 million people under flood alerts. Forecasters are also tracking tropical storm Erin in the Atlantic and Hurricane Henriette in the Pacific.

We talked about raccoon that was stuck in a dumpster but got rescued. And we talked about dolphin that was stuck in a fishing net but ALSO got rescued!

In sports, the Brewers beat the Cubs again last night, the NFL Hall of Fame game is tomorrow night, the latest on the NYC gunman who was targeting the NFL offices earlier this week, and a man who was stalking Caitlin Clark is going to jail. Elsewhere in sports, Ben Askren is back in the hospital after a lung transplant, former Raider Christian Wilkins allegedly kissed a teammate on the head which led to his release, and NASCAR truck series driver Stewart Friesen suffered some serious injuries in a recent accident. Did this woman's Ring doorbell camera capture video of an alien? Or is it just a trash can in the wind? Apparently, hemorrhoids are becoming an epidemic and we looked at some reasons why. And the "trendiest" drink of the summer doesn't sound very trendy at all. Not the first time this has happened and likely won't be the last…but a WNBA game was interrupted last night when someone in the stands threw a sex toy onto the court.

He says the meat markets are holding strong when it comes to beef and pork, and he also notes the recent impact that new tariffs may have on US producers. Swenson says the lamb market is holding strong because of new marketing opportunities in the Bahamas! Resorts are adding lamb to their menus and visitors love it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wisconsin played host to the summer conference for the National Farmers Union. Held a their new state headquarters in Chippewa Falls, Bob Bosold got a chance to visit with NFU President, Rod Larew, as well as WFU President, Darren VonRuden. There's still a lot of anxiety about getting a Farm Bill completed in Washington, D.C. and questions surrounding the "Big Beautiful Bill" and what it could be to farms and agribusinesses. Illinois stands poised to break records this year when it comes to tornadoes! Pam Jahnke shares the story from Illinois State Climatologist, Trent Ford. Today is the deadline for the state legislature to wrap up work on the budget. Representative Travis Tranel, the chair of the Assembly Agriculture Committee is watching a lot of moving parts. He explains to Stephanie Hoff that state budget negotiations or debates continue to take center stage on Capitol Hill. But there are also bills moving through the agriculture committee to watch. We start with the nutrient loss reduction program, a bill that Representative Tranel is cosponsoring. The Mid-West Farm Report is continuing to gather stories from families statewide that will be honored during the Wisconsin State Fair as Century or Sesquicentennial honorees. Aubrey Schlimgen chats with Bob Smith from Fond du Lac County, one of the sesquicentennial farms that will be honored. Bob and his brother were the youngest of the 4 brothers and did most of the work on the farm. When they started their work, they cleaned up a lot of the barns on their farm and built some buildings. 100ft off of the one barn to be exact. Bob and his Wife have three kids. His other two brothers got into education and even taught at the University of Dubuque. In 1980 they had experienced loss with a barn fire. Bob still farms to this day, no more cows but still with crops. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send Julie a text!!Sisters Jen and Julie Orchard of Royal Guernsey Creamery are a buttermaker and a dairy farmer, respectively, who produce small-batch, artisan butter using cream from their own herd of Guernsey cows.  The self-named "Butterettes" are 7th generation diary farmers that make four types of artisan, European-style butter. Jen & Julie started Royal Guernsey Creamery in 2020, and by 2023, they got the blue ribbon and grand champion title at the Wisconsin State Fair for the best butter in the Dairy State.Making butter is a 20-hour process that takes over two days to accomplish. Together they make 400 pounds at a time. They do everything from churning the butter... to creating the round, tube-shaped units... to packaging over 800 units in special foil.Both Jen and Julie stepped away from their family roots as dairy farmers to pursue other careers. Jennifer left a 15-year career in biotechnology to return to the family farm. Julie has more than 20 years of marketing experience working with clients in the field of animal health. They both came back to their family farm where they decided to start their business together. ** Random cow facts: Cows are wonderful creatures that love affection, have individual personalities, and enjoy interactions with their caretakers. Brown-and-white Guernsey cows today represent just 1% of the U.S. cattle population. (Versus the Holstein cows, which are black and white.) If you're going to raise them, you use their milk for something other than pooling it with other milk to maintain its quality.Jen & Julie Orchard - GuestsRoyal Guernsey Creamery IG accountRoyal Guernsey Creamery websiteJulie Berman - Podcast Host & ProducerJulie Berman's LinkedIn Profile@womencooljobs (Instagram)www.womenwithcooljobs.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
