RUNDOWN

With Hotshot Scott in Hawaii, Mitch calls in Daniel O’Neill for a “bullpen start,” diving into Mariners nostalgia, gym etiquette, and Luka Dončić’s stunning trade to the Lakers. They debate the evolving definition of selling out, generational shifts in athlete branding, and awkward encounters at the gym.

Former Mariners CF Mike Cameron joins to discuss the surreal experience of being traded for Ken Griffey Jr., stepping into an impossible role, and witnessing Ichiro’s legendary work ethic. He shares inside stories about Ichiro’s hidden power, baserunning genius, and surprising fluency in English while addressing the ongoing struggles of the Mariners’ offense.

Director Michael Talajian previews We Beat the Dream Team, an HBO documentary on the iconic 1992 scrimmage where college players shocked Jordan, Magic, and Bird. He reveals unearthed footage, firsthand accounts, and whether coach Chuck Daly threw the game as a lesson.

Finally, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News breaks down the Mavericks’ bombshell Luka Dončić trade, analyzing its ties to Mark Cuban’s ownership sale and the franchise’s long-term strategy. Will this deal revive or derail Luka’s career in L.A.?

Episode 322 – Open Mouth. Insert Foot.

RUNDOWN

 

Mitch and Hotshot break down Super Bowl 59, admitting their lack of enthusiasm for both the Eagles and Chiefs fan bases but finding unexpected entertainment in the blowout. They discuss Tom Brady’s underwhelming debut as a Fox analyst, noting his lack of personality and insight compared to past greats like John Madden. Reflecting on the halftime show, Mitch wonders if he’s officially aged out of enjoying Super Bowl performances, realizing how modern entertainment trends no longer resonate with him.

Dr. John Osborne joins the show for his annual heart health discussion, emphasizing the importance of a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score—a quick, affordable test that can detect heart disease decades before symptoms appear. He debunks common cholesterol myths, explaining that genetics play a bigger role than diet and that HDL (the “good cholesterol”) isn’t as protective as once thought. With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death, he urges listeners to take proactive steps through prevention, lifestyle changes, and early screenings.

The Mariners No-Table tackles Seattle’s frustrating offseason, dissecting Jerry Dipoto’s comments suggesting the team didn’t have many holes to fill despite an anemic offense. While Dipoto takes criticism, analysts Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas argue that ownership’s unwillingness to spend is the real obstacle, leaving glaring gaps in the lineup. They also discuss potential prospect call-ups, bullpen depth, and whether the current roster is strong enough to compete in 2024.

Christian Capel from On Montlake breaks down Washington football’s eventful offseason, including major coaching staff turnover and roster changes through the transfer portal. He evaluates the Huskies’ top-25 recruiting class, the challenges of retaining talent in the NIL era, and expectations under new head coach Jedd Fisch. With a Big Ten schedule ahead, the program looks to rebuild and position itself for long-term success.
