Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle’s recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber...

Episode 366 - The Rams Must Wait; Niners Next
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Danny open Episode 366 sparring over Seahawks fan anxiety during a supposedly “relaxing” Wild Card weekend, as Mitch openly roots for any path that avoids the Rams. They break down why the Seahawks’ fear factor is matchup-based rather than talent-based, react to the Rams’ narrow escape against Carolina, and land on the uncomfortable truth: there are no easy games left.

Episode 365 - Suffocating Seahawks All Set Up
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot react to the Seahawks’ latest statement win and the stunning reality that a team widely projected to finish under .500 now sits two home wins away from the Super Bowl. They break down why this run feels different from past Seahawks contenders, examine the favorable NFC landscape, and agree there’s only one opponent that truly scares them: the Rams. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks’ ability to run between the tackles and control tempo was the true difference in their win over San Francisco, giving the offense “the remote control” of the game. He...

Episode 364 - Is It Saturday Night Yet?
Mitch Unfiltered
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC’s top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco’s battered defense, Seattle’s dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with...

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...

Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC’s top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco’s battered defense, Seattle’s dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash.
Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle’s 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense’s habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night’s NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy’s red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a first-round bye.
Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson’s 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally “happened” to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.
