Criticism for Dan Wilson is starting to look extremely warranted and as much as we love him, things aren't going well.  Ian is a huge college basketball fan, but he's not 'all in' on his team right now with the changes we've been seeing in the sport and WSU's lack of keeping up with the rest.  Jon Haarlow, WSU Athletic Director joins Ian shortly after being appointed to the position.

Ian has spoken the Mariners' bats into existence! Coincidence or real? The power of Mollywhop is real. Ian is almost scared of how well it worked.

The guys do a deep dive on the past and future state of the media. Of course, the guy shares some fun stories.  Checking in on the Texts, Talkbacks and YouTube Comments!  Crosstalk with Softy!
