Mitch Unfiltered

RUNDOWN   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.   GUESTS   Rebecca Gitlitz | Director, Untold: The Fall of Favre (Netflix) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft/Prospect Analyst, OverSlot Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast Jason Churchill | Founder, Prospect Insider   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch revives the area code tradition with a Greensboro deep dive, featuring Counting Crows, Chris Daughtry, and a grocery store diss worthy of a flagrant foul. 21:30 | Mariners lose 3 of 4 in Houston — Mitch highlights the ongoing struggle against left-handed pitching and the lineup shake-ups it forces. 38:52 | Guest: Rebecca Gitlitz – Gitlitz breaks down the Brett Favre doc, Jen Sterger’s unheard truth, the Mississippi welfare scandal, and why no one is a one-dimensional villain. 54:14 | Guest: Mariners' No-Table, Brady Farkas & Joe Doyle – dig into the Astros series fallout, bullpen management, right-handed bat urgency, and potential trade targets.

RUNDOWN   Episode 335 opens with a classic Mitch-and-Hotshot cold open built around a unique problem: there’s no area code 335. But that doesn't stop Mitch from spinning it into a musical deep dive centered on the new Eddie Vedder Cup, the tongue-in-cheek prize for the Mariners–Padres rivalry.
