Mitch and Hotshot kick off Episode 338 with a chaotic Father’s Day recap involving mini-golf madness, stroller gridlock, and a player with a walker clogging the first tee. Hotshot goes MIA for eight hours and doesn’t even play. Mitch follows with two public floggings: one for crediting “The Twist” to Fats Domino, the other for dusting off a 2013 John Olerud story like it was breaking news. His fastball? Missing. Hotshot? Happy to point that out.

Dave Grosby returns to talk about his health battles, a rough ketamine treatment, and the overlooked value of opioids for pain relief. He still finds time to make a bold Mariners playoff case.

Brady Henderson checks in from Seahawks camp to explain why Mike Macdonald’s version of Seattle looks more united and less ego-driven. He breaks down Sam Darnold’s grip on QB1, the Jalen Milroe development arc, and why 2024 already feels different.

Finally, Brady Farkas flies solo at the Mariners No-Table. Seattle sweeps Cleveland, JP Crawford stays hot, and Julio keeps hitting — but not with much muscle. They break down rotation depth, bullpen leaks, and trade bait like Gino Suarez and Josh Naylor. The playoff math is still murky, but the hunt continues.

Mitch kicks off Episode 337 with a deceptively tough trivia question about Louisiana’s top-selling music artist—hint: it’s not the one you’d expect. That sets the tone for a packed show that includes a heated Mariners No-Table debate over Randy Johnson’s Mariners legacy and whether Seattle ever truly embraced one of the game’s greats. Mariners No-Table, with Joe Doyle (Future Stars Series) and Brady Farkas (MLB analyst & podcaster) tackle the club’s shaky offense, trade deadline outlook, and whether the front office is bold enough to make a real playoff push.

Episode 336 opens with Mitch and Hotshot back in full form, celebrating the triumphant return of the area code gimmick — this time, 336, home to Greensboro, North Carolina. Mitch dives into the city’s hidden gems and famous natives, from Counting Crows bassist Millard Powers to NBA legend Bob McAdoo and Tecmo-Bowl hero Haywood Jeffires. Along the way, we get Billy Crash Craddock trivia, a “plug it in” moment, and a savage grocery store showdown involving a rogue bagger and a flustered Mitch.

Emmy-winning filmmaker Rebecca Gitlitz joins the show to discuss her explosive new Netflix documentary, Untold: The Fall of Favre.

In sports, the guys unpack the Mariners’ frustrating four-game set in Houston. Despite momentum going in, Seattle drops three of four, and Mitch explores why left-handed pitching continues to be their kryptonite. That sets the table for this week’s Mariners No-Table with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas, where they break down the Astros series, analyze lineup matchups, bullpen handling, and offer a blunt assessment: the M’s need a right-handed bat — badly.

Finally, prospect guru Jason Churchill returns to profile the Mariners’ red-hot farm system. Churchill explains why he wouldn’t trade Seattle’s top 8 prospects for any other organization in baseball. The two dig into Cole Young’s AAA breakout, Juan Soto’s switch-pitching uniqueness, and how Colt Emerson and Harry Ford could fit into Seattle’s long-term plans.

Episode 335 opens with a classic Mitch-and-Hotshot cold open built around a unique problem: there’s no area code 335. But that doesn’t stop Mitch from spinning it into a musical deep dive centered on the new Eddie Vedder Cup, the tongue-in-cheek prize for the Mariners–Padres rivalry. The two riff on San Diego’s surprisingly rich musical heritage — from Blink-182 and Stone Temple Pilots to Iron Butterfly and Heart — as Mitch tries to reel in Hotshot with rock trivia and storytelling.

Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join to analyze Seattle’s weirdly dominant road performances, the emergence of Brian Woo as a potential All-Star and ace, and what to expect with George Kirby’s return.

On the football side, Mitch unpacks the Seahawks’ 2025 schedule, including an unprecedented ESPN+ Monday Night game with a 10 PM ET kickoff. He also dives into the quarterback gauntlet Seattle won’t face — just two of the top 12 QBs from 2024’s passer efficiency ratings.
