Episode 371 opens with Mitch’s Saturday night unraveling after watching Song Sung Blue and realizing the Buddy Holly–impersonating character played by Michael Imperioli is allegedly his celebrity twin — a comparison he loudly rejects as it derails the entire movie. With Hotshot fanning the flames, the show pivots into the annual Prediction Show recap, replaying last year’s bold Seahawks takes — including a seven-win forecast and Mike Macdonald job jeopardy — before grading every prediction and crowning a 2025 champion.
Mitch revisits last year’s Prediction Show, replaying Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O’Neil’s confident forecasts for 2025 — from Russell Wilson’s salary and Geno Smith’s future to Mike Macdonald’s job security and a Seahawks Super Bowl run no one predicted. The segment tracks hits, misses, and wildly wrong calls, including gloomy seven-win projections and John Schneider pink slips that never came. With halftime scoring tallied and bragging rights on the line, the stage is set for Episode 372’s official crowning of the 2025 Prediction Champion.
The second half of the 2025 Prediction Show grading delivers more swings and misses as Mitch revisits bold calls from Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O’Neil on Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh’s contract, Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, Tiger Woods, NBA expansion, and Sam Darnold’s future. From Oklahoma City’s title run to Pete Carroll playoff dreams and wild card chaos involving Jeff Bezos and the Kraken, the predictions range from razor-close to wildly off base.
Mitch and Professor Slick bask in the lingering glow of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl championship before veering into breaking “news” that Mitch left his iconic bell in Santa Clara — sparking a hilarious Rocky-inspired replacement plan involving Bunco night. The conversation shifts to spring training, where Slick sounds early alarms about the Mariners’ pitching depth and offensive ceiling, while Mitch pushes back with optimism centered on Bryce Miller’s return to form.
