Summary

RUNDOWN

A cryptic Hotshot tweet about cheering for arrests sets the tone before the guys revel in the Mariners’ wild seven-game sweep and the Seahawks’ statement win in Pittsburgh. The bullpen’s near-perfect ERA has playoff dreams buzzing, George Kirby snaps back in style, and Sam Darnold, Ken Walker, and Riq Woolen all shine.

Mitch, Brady, and Joe revel in a historic seven-game home sweep that has the Mariners suddenly in control of the AL West. The bullpen’s 30+ innings with only one earned run anchors the conversation, alongside George Kirby’s 14-strikeout rebound, Julio’s resurgence at the plate, and Cal Raleigh’s record-setting power. With Kansas City and Houston on deck, the crew debates playoff odds, MVP chatter, and whether Josh Naylor might be the perfect midseason fit in Seattle.

Fresh off a 31–17 win in Pittsburgh, the crew digs into a Seahawks performance that mixed chaos with control. Riq Woolen redeemed himself with a hustle play that saved a touchdown. Sam Darnold shook off mistakes to make clutch throws, Kenneth Walker topped 100 yards with a highlight-reel touchdown, and the ball finally spread to Cooper Kupp, JSN, Horton, and the tight ends.

Rick Neuheisel joins to unpack a loaded college football weekend — from Brian Kelly scolding reporters after LSU’s win, to Georgia’s Gunner Stockton and Notre Dame–Texas A&M’s wild finish, to Arch Manning getting booed in Austin. He shares stories of media jousts from his UCLA days, weighs in on John Mateer’s Heisman chances at Oklahoma, and even recalls the “Apple Cup plunge” tradition from his perfect 4–0 run against WSU. Neuheisel closes with his weekly pick, riding Nebraska as a home underdog against Michigan while eyeing the upcoming Apple Cup showdown.

Bud Withers joins to discuss his new book, the first ever written on the history of the Apple Cup, just in time for another chapter in the storied rivalry. He reflects on why the UW–WSU matchup is uniquely distinctive, how Don James viewed it as “everything to lose, nothing to gain,” and why Cougar upsets often define the most memorable games.

0:00.0	Before we begin episode 350, I just have to ask you, Hot Shot Scott, this tweet that you sent out either Saturday or Friday had people asking, what are you talking about, what prompted it?
0:14.6	I don't understand you sometimes.
0:16.1	You wrote, here's a great way to know if you're truly acting like an a-hole.
0:21.5	If you get arrested in public and people start cheering,
0:24.8	might be look in the mirror time after that.
0:28.2	I couldn't agree more with me.
0:30.9	You know, as you know, I've watched about 10,000 hours of arrest videos.
0:34.4	That's really all I watch anymore is just I love arrest videos.
0:37.1	Right.
0:37.4	And they'll arrest somebody in a bar who's causing a scene. And as they're like putting the cuffs on, the place erupts because this person's just been a jerk off for like the last hour causing a scene, public disturbance, you know, disorderly conduct or they pull them off a plane. That's the big one. Because if they don't leave the plane, now we all got to get off. Now we're all going to be two hours late. Now we're going to misconnecting flights. So I love when they pull them off a plane and the place. If you're ever in a situation where people are clapping because you got arrested, that's how you know you're acting like a total jerk off. And it might be looking at the mirror time. Okay. No, I totally get that.
1:12.0	Yeah.
1:12.3	But you had to know that when you wrote this,
1:15.7	it was so,
1:16.5	it was so effing random.
1:18.5	Nobody knew what you were talking about.
1:20.7	You didn't explain that you were watching videos.
1:23.3	You didn't say that you were on a plane and some douchebag was arrested and you applauded.
1:27.5	You just wrote this random stupid ass tweet that nobody freaking understood.
1:35.3	Yeah, but I kind of like that in a weird way.
1:37.4	I like just throwing random shit out.
1:39.0	And if like two people get it or two people laugh, it kind of makes me, it makes me happy that at least one person got it. So yes, sometimes things just pop in my head and I have to get them out there. But I'm trying to tell you, not at least one person got it. Nobody got it. You were the only one who got it. Probably a few beers into it, you know, and who else? God knows what else I was doing that night. I'm going to let it slide because it was a really good weekend.
2:03.7	It was.
