Episode 340 - Treading the Wild Card Waters
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 340 with an emotional twist — Hotshot is moving from Snoqualmie to Sammamish, leaving behind years of memories, including the house where his daughter was raised. The two reflect on the sentimentality of leaving home and Scott’s surprising inability to cry… except maybe after a World Series loss. The conversation pivots to the 340 area code — the U.S. Virgin Islands — leading to a trivia-filled celebration of Kelsey Grammer, Tim Duncan, Sugar Ray Seales, and Dave Matthews.

Episode 339 - Cal the Magnificent
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot open Episode 339 by revisiting one of Seattle sports fans’ oldest wounds — the Sonics' departure — while Oklahoma City dances in the NBA Finals.

Mitch drops a classic Sonics tale: the time he painted his face in silent protest on a live Sonics pay-per-view broadcast. Pete Carroll makes a podcast appearance — not here, but on Get Got with Marshawn Lynch and Michael Robinson — and throws light shade at Earl Thomas while...

Episode 338 - Big Unit. Big Baby?
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN 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....

Episode 335 - San Diego Sweepin', Seahawks Schedulin' & a Scheffler Shellacking
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN 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. Then it's a packed slate of sports. Mitch breaks down the Mariners’ stunning...

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.
