Summary
RUNDOWN
Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star").
Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence.
Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald.
Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors.
Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is. RJ notes that the offense remains among the league's weakest, while Dylan credits new head coach Lane Lambert for installing a defense-first system that maximizes effort and structure.

| 0:02.6 | And I think the answer to last week's riddle is actor Michael Imperiali. |
| 0:11.5 | Oh, yeah. |
| 0:12.6 | Who I have no idea or had no idea who he was by name. |
| 0:16.9 | But now in the last week, since I told you the story of the older woman at the poker table telling me I looked like I was in the mafia. |
| 0:26.2 | The answer by lots of listeners and even Slickhawk was we think that she must have seen some mob movies that starred Michael Imperiali, who was also on |
| 0:40.8 | White Lotus, because you look like Michael Imperiali. |
| 0:45.2 | Now, I don't, I had to do a search to figure out who this was, but this is the consensus |
| 0:50.5 | as to why I look like I might be in the mafia because he's been in a lot of mafia |
| 0:55.5 | movies. Do you know who he is? Well, it's not really the answer because he's not in the mafia. |
| 1:00.3 | He's an actor. He probably went to Juilliard. You know, he's not in the mafia. No, it's the answer |
| 1:05.9 | because if the woman at the opposite end of the poker table, watch the Sopranos or Sopranos, |
| 1:14.3 | whoever you want to say it, if she was a fan of the Sopranos and I'm going to ask her if I |
| 1:18.9 | ever see her again, then she probably associates me to looking like an actor named Michael |
| 1:26.9 | Imperioly who was in the Sopranos, and that's probably, |
| 1:30.8 | maybe she even did it subconsciously. |
| 1:33.2 | She wasn't even thinking Michael Imperiali. |
| 1:35.3 | She just saw me, and I remind some people of this particular actor. |
| 1:39.7 | In fact, Slickhawk said, I don't know if I believe him, that when he was watching White Lotus season two with his wife Amy and Michael Imperioly came on the screen, the two of them started giggling. |
| 1:52.9 | Oh my God, it's Mitchie. |
| 1:56.0 | See, okay, a few things. |
| 1:57.8 | He wasn't gray in the Sopranos. |
