  • Furness Show 5-8: Mariners win, Ryan Clark and Jake Dickert
    May 8 2024
    The Mariners won in a big way yesterday and Ian took great interest in the ebbs and flows of the game. It was a bummer to see Taylor Saucedo with an injured knee, as he proves to be of great value in the bullpen. Welcome back to reality, Oakland. We relive the Trailblazers knocking out the Thunder in 2019. Ian wants to know, especially with the NBA returning, whether fans still harbor disdain for Oklahoma City. Ian gets sports stress from watching them and just cannot stand the idea of them winning, of which they have a good chance this year. Ian has a Mayor of Maple Valley update! We are awaiting an update on Taylor Saucedo. Ian has disdain for the Thunder. Will the WNBA continue to grow in popularity with the addition of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, or is it a 'one hit wonder'? Ian is going to be on air forever, as his off-button is broken. Odds are out for the Super Bowl and the Seahawks come in third to win the NFC West, while San Francisco is the favorite to win the Super Bowl. The Seahawks are 22nd to win it all. What are our reasonable expectations for this year's team? Ryan Clark, ESPN NHL Writer joins to give us the latest on what he sees in the Kraken coaching search, what he's seen in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and who he expects to see in the finals. Jake Dickert, WSU HC joins Ian to recap spring ball and discuss the retention the Cougs saw on their team this year, especially compared to other programs that got poached. He talks about what makes Washington State special and why he's so proud to be in Pullman. Plus, the players that got drafted and signed in the NFL this year.

  • Furness Show 5-7: Manny Acta, Joe Sheehan and Sonics talk
    May 7 2024
    We have a new studio sponsor! Ian almost drove off the road when he heard Chris Kidd had to say about potentially naming the NBA team here in Seattle something other than the Sonics. Ian can't fathom it happening. Manny Acta, Mariners 3B Coach joins to give us the state of the Mariners right now. He knew the pitching staff would carry them and the offense will get going. He explains what's different for Josh Rojas this year, as well as his bar for on base percentage, despite it being down across the league. Julio Rodriguez is much better than where he is right now, but he's prone to slow starts. The team has the utmost confidence in him. Whenever you're not happy with the Mariners, talk to Manny Acta. While Julio might be 'down' for his talent level right now, he's still above league average. Plus, the pitching remains among the best in baseball, but can't be wasted.Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter tells us what numbers fans should actually be paying attention to. There are hundreds of stats all over the place, so how do we distill it? Joe breaks it down. Also, this is an extremely low hitting season across the league.The WNBA is finally chartering flights for their teams - Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have a lot to do with it. Ian says it's long overdue. What was Chris Kidd thinking when he brought up possibly naming the new NBA team anything but The Sonics?

  • Furness Show 5-6: Mollywhop Monday, Sonics talk and Corbin Smith
    May 6 2024
    Ian had a great weekend and completely appreciates those who filled in on Friday. Shoutout to the beautiful campus of Gonzaga. What do we make of the Seahawks after getting a look at the rookies out at VMAC this weekend? Ian breaks down what he sees in the top-heavy draft and where there still may be needs. Ian wants you to tell the truth - did you believe the Mariners would be where they are right now after the rough start? We are anxiously awaiting the return of the NBA here in Seattle, and we take a listen to what Aaron Levine had to say about it last night. It's not 'if' they return now, it's 'when' - and all signs point to fall of 2027. Ownership and a plan is in place, so what's next? Ian discusses the one element missing from the NBA return to Seattle. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join to talk about the Mariners series win in Houston. They give a reasonable take on where the team stands right now, Julio's upside and just what a star he is. Eyes can be deceiving, but the numbers tell the truth. Mollywhop continues and the guys discuss where Julio Rodriguez is right now and give some numbers that might surprise you. Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins Ian to give his first impressions of a Mike Macdonald-run practice, Byron Murphy II - who doesn't skip leg day - and Christian Haynes. Plus who from the later rounds could contribute?
