Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN We're in a foul mood after the Seahawks’ ugly loss to the Rams, unpacking Sam Darnold’s four-interception stinker, the looming backlash from “I told you so” Darnold haters, and the gut-punch of Gray Zabel’s injury.

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. The interview explores why Jen Sterger’s story is only now being fully heard, the disturbing details of Favre’s alleged role in the Mississippi welfare scandal, and how Gitlitz navigated fairness, fact-checking, and silence from Favre’s camp.
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.
