Episode 363 - The #1 Seed is in Sight
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Did you see Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul in a Netflix spectacle that somehow guaranteed both fighters $92 million? While relieved to see Paul finally get hit for real, Mitch is stunned that global interest was strong enough to justify such an enormous payout for an eight-round exhibition. The segment becomes a blunt look at influencer economics, Netflix’s business model, and why modern fame—not boxing legitimacy—now drives sports entertainment. Hotshot relives an on-air argument about whether Andy Gibb was a Bee Gee, while Mitch tells the story of getting yanked...

Episode 362 - A Rams Rematch & Goin Fischin in Ann Arbor
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O’Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: “a win is a win” vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer’s statement reads like a true “not leaving” while Fisch’s sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they “punted the first half away,” can’t believe they needed six...

Episode 361 - Taking Mitch's Voice Away
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch opens Episode 361 barely able to speak. Area code 361, is a surprisingly stacked Corpus Christi résumé — from Farrah Fawcett’s iconic poster-era fame to Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s longtime keyboardist Billy Powell. The college football playoff drama continues, Notre Dame spent weeks ahead of Miami in the rankings only to get leapfrogged on a Saturday when neither team played — and then “boycott” bowl season in peak Irish fashion. From there they pivot to the Seahawks’ 26–6 win in Atlanta, breaking down Sam Darnold’s...

Episode 360 - Downright Defensive
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Time for a post-Thanksgiving catch-up — from Hotshot’s massive Bonnie Lake feast (and industrial-sized leftovers) to Mitch explaining why he avoids other people’s stuffing, small talk, and social gatherings altogether. The guys 'roll' into a playful celebration of area code 360, spotlighting surprising celebrity ties: Sam Elliott’s Clark College days, Hilary Swank’s Bellingham childhood, The Rock’s Vancouver roots, and of course Kurt Cobain — whose Aberdeen home, schools, and legacy still anchor the region. Mitch and Hotshot mourn Washington’s deflating rivalry...

Episode 359 - Mitch in Vegas, Hawks Hold on, Dawgs & Duckies
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks’ 30–24 “no-win” win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a...

Episode 358 - A Darnold Downer & Exciting Naylor News
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. Mitch unleashes a full-on rant about Greg Olsen’s broadcast style (“constant blabber”), while Scott notes how different the offense looks without Tory Horton on the field. The mood finally lifts with the news that the Mariners have locked up Josh Naylor on a five-year extension, giving Seattle fans a much-needed jolt of optimism. And then some baseball...

Episode 357 - Stifling Seahawks Ready for Rams
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch solves last week’s “mafia lookalike” mystery — listeners decide he’s a dead ringer for The Sopranos’ Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks’ second straight blowout win, and Von Miller’s hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle (“it’s like turning down a girl who became a movie star”). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer’s legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest’s ultimate basketball statesman. Then it’s back to...

Episode 356 - Mitch the Mobster
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.’s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto’s collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it’s all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline. Mitch, Brady, and...

Episode 355 - Painful Conclusion & Second Guessing
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN In the aftermath of the Mariners’ heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Blue Jays, Mitch Levy and guest co-host Danny O’Neil of The Dang Apostrophe open Episode 355 with Danny confessing that he’s “pretty mad,” venting at an online heckler named Tad Piland while Mitch directs his anger toward the Fox broadcast crew for comparing Toronto fans’ “long wait” to Seattle’s five decades of heartbreak. The conversation pivots to the Seahawks, whose 27-19 win over Houston somehow feels more lucky than convincing. Danny rails against red-zone play-calling and Cooper Kupp’s...

Episode 354 - Tight Sphincter Muscles in Toronto
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night’s 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller’s Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners’ own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely...

In the aftermath of the Mariners’ heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Blue Jays, Mitch Levy and guest co-host Danny O’Neil of The Dang Apostrophe open Episode 355 with Danny confessing that he’s “pretty mad,” venting at an online heckler named Tad Piland while Mitch directs his anger toward the Fox broadcast crew for comparing Toronto fans’ “long wait” to Seattle’s five decades of heartbreak. The conversation pivots to the Seahawks, whose 27-19 win over Houston somehow feels more lucky than convincing. Danny rails against red-zone play-calling and Cooper Kupp’s gadget-pass interception, while Mitch notes that at 5-2, Seattle still looks like a playoff team in a vulnerable NFC.
In the season’s final Mariners No-Table, Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over Slot) to dissect Seattle’s crushing Game 7 loss to the Blue Jays in the ALCS. The trio reflect on the gut-wrenching ending, the broadcast’s “Toronto sympathy” narrative, and the irony of yet another near-miss season for long-suffering Mariners fans. Both guests try to balance heartbreak with appreciation for an unforgettable year that included Cal Raleigh’s historic 60-homer season, Brian Woo’s rise to ace status, and J.P. Crawford’s clutch moments.
The crew breaks down Seattle’s Monday Night Football win over Houston — a game defined by the defense and marred by offensive miscues. Brady and Jacson praise Ernest Jones and Drake Thomas for anchoring a top-five-level unit that pressured C.J. Stroud all night, holding Texans running backs to just 31 yards. On offense, Sam Darnold’s four turnovers and a baffling Cooper Kupp trick-play interception left points on the field, but Jackson Smith-Njigba’s 123-yard night and a late show of maturity salvaged it.
CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, returns to unpack a chaotic Week 8 — from Indiana’s Kurt Signetti leading the Hoosiers to No. 2 in the nation to Clark Lea’s Vanderbilt stunning LSU. Rick tells the underdog stories of the year: two former football “afterthoughts” now crashing the playoff picture. He credits Signetti’s “bet on himself” coaching path and calls Vandy’s 2025 run “one of the greatest modern turnarounds in college football.”
