Episode 334 – Reality or Blip on the Radar?

RUNDOWN

 

Episode 334 kicks off with Hotshot Scott and Mitch riffing on state capitals, Montgomery, Alabama, and iconic pop culture from the 334 area code—including Nat King Cole, Captain & Tennille, and Terrence Long’s infamous run-in with Ichiro’s arm. They also share their reactions to the Pope from Chicago and the Mariners’ concerning sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays. Is the dream fading, or is it a blip on the radar? The guys break down the offense’s struggles, the alarming state of the pitching staff, and what comes next with the Yankees and Padres looming.

Mitch and Jason Puckett debut the crossover show where the guys mix sports, parenting, and old-school radio storytelling with a signature Puck and Mitch touch.

Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join for the Mariners No-Table to dissect the team’s unraveling rotation, Bryce Miller’s mechanical collapse, and whether the offense deserves as much scrutiny. Plus, Out on a Limb returns with no medals—but plenty of shade thrown over last week’s predictions.

Finally, the Other Stuff segment where Hotshot and Mitch trade stories of lawsuits, strip clubs, and Derek Carr’s “retirement.” Plus, the bizarre tale of the new Pope, and Hotshot’s classic headlines wrap up the episode.

Episode 328 – The More Times Change…

RUNDOWN

 

Mitch and Hotshot open Episode 328 with some REO Speedwagon, a Morgan Wallen SNL debacle, and—sadly—no area code trivia. But it’s all prelude to a full-on Mariners therapy session, as Mitch wonders why Gino Suárez and Teoscar Hernández are thriving elsewhere while the M’s bats look like they’re still in spring training. He also recalls a moment in a locker room with George Foreman that changed how he views leadership.

First up: it’s the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas (SI Now, Refuse to Lose Pod) and Joe Doyle (Over Slot). The crew breaks down the split with the A’s, early warning signs with Julio, what Dan Wilson got wrong as manager, and whether this offense truly has enough talent to support the elite rotation.

Then Danny Kelly of The Ringer joins to explain why all the top mock drafts have Seattle passing on offensive linemen at pick 18—and why fans might want to prepare for a linebacker, receiver, or safety instead. He also breaks down how the Seahawks could approach the quarterback class on Day 2.

Finally, Jason La Canfora weighs in on the Seahawks’ offseason: Is Sam Darnold a long-term solution or just Geno 2.0? Why does John Schneider refuse to spend on O-linemen? And which position group is so deep this year, every team could draft one?

Mitch shares a quick story about Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky turtles still being alive (yes, really), before he and Hotshot Scott spiral into a trivia-packed detour on Pine Bluff, Arkansas’ unlikely sports legacy. There’s also a throwback story about a terrified 22-year-old Mitch interviewing George Foreman after the 1990 Cooney fight—complete with awkward silence, locker room urine tests, and a mic-shaking case of nerves.

Brady Henderson joins to break down the Seahawks’ offseason strategy—why Will Fries slipped away, how the Geno and DK trades were influenced by locker room concerns, and what to expect from Seattle’s 10 draft picks, including five in the top 92. With wide receiver and O-line needs still looming, is this a reload or a rebuild?

Then it’s the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle, the trio breaks down Opening Day storylines: Logan Gilbert’s pressure as the new No. 1, Emerson Hancock stepping in for George Kirby, Rowdy Tellez’s boom-or-bust upside, and whether Seattle’s quietly dangerous roster can win a suddenly winnable AL West.

Jason Hamilton rounds out the show with thoughts on the Big Ten’s brutal travel, the evolution of fan energy, and what’s next for Danny Sprinkle at UW. Plus: standout March Madness moments, why Florida might be the most complete team left, and how NIL and college hoops free agency may be pushing the game toward a cliff.

Episode 325 – Seahawks Rebuild or Retool?

RUNDOWN

With Geno Smith gone and no clear successor in place, Seahawks fans are left debating whether this was a necessary step forward or an avoidable mistake. The front office now holds the keys to a franchise-defining offseason, with a mountain of cap space and draft picks but no proven quarterback.

Seahawks No-Table discuss the Seahawks trading Geno Smith to the Raiders and DK Metcalf to the Steelers, securing extra cap space and draft capital but creating major questions at quarterback and wide receiver. While John Schneider insists this is about building for the future, the weak free-agent market and uncertain rookie class make the path forward murky.

Ray Roberts chats about a seismic Seahawks roster overhaul sparking heated debate about the team’s direction. While salary cap savings and a potential rebuild make sense on paper, the uncertainty at quarterback—now with Sam Darnold in the mix—raises more questions than answers. With the offensive line still a glaring issue the next few months will determine whether this is a quick reset or a long, painful rebuild.

Mariners No-Table talk Justin Turner’s blunt comments about the Mariners’ lack of spending echo long-standing fan frustrations, while Jerry DePoto’s latest remarks do little to win back goodwill. With spring training struggles and George Kirby sidelined, concerns over early-season momentum loom large, especially in a winnable but unpredictable AL West. As the team navigates lineup questions and bullpen optimism, all eyes are on whether they can defy expectations—or confirm them.
