RUNDOWN

Episode 334 kicks off with Hotshot Scott and Mitch riffing on state capitals, Montgomery, Alabama, and iconic pop culture from the 334 area code—including Nat King Cole, Captain & Tennille, and Terrence Long's infamous run-in with Ichiro's arm. They also share their reactions to the Pope from Chicago and the Mariners' concerning sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays. Is the dream fading, or is it a blip on the radar? The guys break down the offense's struggles, the alarming state of the pitching staff, and what comes next with the Yankees and Padres looming.

Mitch and Jason Puckett debut the crossover show where the guys mix sports, parenting, and old-school radio storytelling with a signature Puck and Mitch touch.

Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join for the Mariners No-Table to dissect the team's unraveling rotation, Bryce Miller's mechanical collapse, and whether the offense deserves as much scrutiny. Plus, Out on a Limb returns with no medals—but plenty of shade thrown over last week's predictions.

Finally, the Other Stuff segment where Hotshot and Mitch trade stories of lawsuits, strip clubs, and Derek Carr's "retirement." Plus, the bizarre tale of the new Pope, and Hotshot's classic headlines wrap up the episode.
