Episode 331 – Mariners Gettin' Rowdy

 

RUNDOWN

 

From Easter brawls over Sephora to dueling Survivor vocals, Episode 331 hits the nostalgic highs before hammering down on the Mariners' electric resurgence and the Kraken’s collapse. Mitch and Hotshot cover the rise of Cal Raleigh, the mystery of Julio’s slump, and how Rowdy Tellez suddenly became a cult hero.

Golf writer Gabby Herzig joins to share her surreal experience playing Augusta National just hours after covering Rory’s Grand Slam drama. Meanwhile, the Kraken No-Table reveals harsh truths about management, future prospects, and the team’s steep ticket discounts as fans eye the looming NBA return.
