Furness Show 7-9: Young Seattle Stars Underperforming, Dumbest Thing You've Heard, Danny O'Neil. Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

It's picture day at the office! Where are the good delis in Seattle? What happened to the Mariners last night? There's an issue with the team in rain delays, and it wasn't good for Logan Gilbert - but it's not his fault. That's not who Gilbert is, considering his body of work. There's a trend with regression with rookies in our market. Kenneth Walker III, Matty Beniers and Julio are all in that category. Bottom line: rookies of the year have to be who they are to win games. The Dumbest Thing You Heard Today! Should a 'many-times-fired' radio host really be criticizing Patrick Mahomes for being "FAT"? Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny shares his thoughts on the angst with Julio Rodriguez in our market and more so, what he's doing in his career right now.
