We put out an all points bulletin for a Mariners ace. We are looking for the Marco Gonzales that we thought would be the M's best pitcher this season. If they want to remain above .500, they need to see a big bounce back from him moving forward. Who else do the Mariners need more from down the stretch? Paul and Danny debate that. Later, we discuss Marquise Blair's return and what the Seahawks can expect from him.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is Logan Gilbert the M's best pitcher? He was dominant yesterday, striking out five in the first two innings and finishing with a season-high 10 strikeouts. He just keeps getting better and better.
Later, we discuss Mitch Haniger's status after a huge weekend. We hear what Jerry Dipoto had to say about the possibility of extending him. Say maybe Haniger doesn't want to be here...does the team have to trade him?

Mitch Haniger had a big weekend and his value is on the rise. We got the vibe that he won't get an extension when we asked Dipoto about it last month but he mentioned that it's a marriage for both sides. Say maybe Haniger doesn't want to be here...does the team have to trade him or do you wait it out?

Cameron Belt sends questions. we answer. Sorry if the title of this episode led you to believe this episode was about beating your children with cow hyde. Didn't mean to get your hopes up if you are into that kind of thing.
Questions include...
-Where do you draw the line of being humble and accepting constructive criticism and knowing that you’re good enough doing things the way you’re already doing it?
-Is there such a thing as too many fart jokes?
-How do you feel about fan art of your own work? How do you feel about people selling that fan art?
-Is it better to just let something go and let someone continue to look stupid or to “agree to disagree” when you know you’re right when I’m an argument with your significant other?
Doug brings a list of topics for us to hit including:
- Wisdom VS. Knowledge
- Love Your Enemies
- Swearing
- Wanting What You Have VS. Desiring Fame

In this episode of Audio Mullet, Doug and Ethan finally give a real review of that Joker movie. Then after that, they try to talk about Bible verses that are hard to swallow. However, they find most of the verses pretty palatable, so they decide to dive into the topic of what their worst moments were when they were single. How pathetic and desperate were these guys before they found their wives? Find out on today's episode.
In this episode of Audio Mullet, Doug and Ethan barely even notice the absence of their friend Mike as they struggle to discuss free will vs. predestination, then they move onto the premise that all boys are psychos. Slug-salting, bird-slaying psychopaths. They also make up for last week and give a real review of the Joker.
Doug and Ethan blow the lid off of structure and have a completely free-wheeling episode, like a rollercoaster without tracks! Like verbal parkour! While they spend most of the episode reviewing the new Joker movie, they spend part of it also admitting they never saw it. A lot of topics are covered, and we think it worked out just fine. You be the judge. Also, we miss you Mike.
Author, Babylon Bee writer, and excellent Twitter follow Frank J. Fleming joins Doug TenNapel and Ethan Nicolle to discuss the unpopular idea that fairness is not achievable, and government often makes it worse because by necessity, a government enforcing fairness must put people in unfair positions of power. It's all very convoluted, but fun. Later, each tells a story of a celebrity encounter because why not be totally tacky and obnoxious? This is the MULLET.
Check out Frank's book Hellbender (Ethan did the cover!)
and also Sidequest (Ethan did not do the cover, but loves this book)
And follow Frank on Twitter.
In another episode without Mike, Doug proposes that every atheist argument against Christianity is a straw man argument. We put this test to an article from Atheist Alliance International proclaiming 8 reasons Christianity is false. After that, the Jonah Goldberg rule of amoral dog crap eating is discussed. What's the least amount of money you would eat dog poo for? What other amoral things would you do, and for how much money? All this and more in another riveting episode.
Progress, tribalism, open-mindedness... these terms often imply a moral, but in and of themselves they are amoral. Ethan and Doug discuss some of the most commonly used amoral words and phrases used by culture today. After that, we talk about fast food - our must-haves and can't-stands.
Doug and Ethan don't even acknowledge the absence of Mike. Instead, they answer three topic requests from Twitter. We talk about going to church and how it's hard to find good teaching. We also talk about cynicism and sarcasm and when does it go too far? Lastly, we talk about writing characters. All answers are answered in a scattered and non-concise manner. Also, there is no Taylor Swift or Area 51 in this episode. We just added that to get clicks!
In this episode of Audio Mullet, Doug TenNapel (Earthworm Jim) and Ethan Nicolle (Axe Cop) talk about their unlikely career paths from two guys living in tiny towns drawing in their bedrooms, to working in Hollywood and getting paid to make stuff up. We do our best not to skip steps so that listeners can get an A to B to C to D snapshot of what two different paths look like. We include in this journey our faith and its impact on these steps. We hope that our stories are interesting to anyone climbing a similarly steep hill and looking for some inspiration, but also if you're not, we hope you are at least entertained.
In this episode, Doug TenNapel and Ethan Nicolle discuss not getting offended and outraged at everything with special guest Jon Gabriel.

With Mike still on Hiatus, Doug and Ethan decide to crack open some old emails. The first email Audio Mullet received was from a man named Bryant Hains, who sent a full list of potential topics. We go through them one by one, answering Bryant's entire email.
While we know Bryant will love this episode, we are confident many others will too because Bryant had some great questions on a variety of topics.
Here are the questions we answer in this episode:
Art/creativity topics
-What do you do once you’ve accomplished your dream or career goal, especially if it’s sooner than you thought? Now what?
-Discipline vs inspiration. Do you get up and work at it every day or do you do other things and wait for the bolt of inspiration to come?
-How do you get past the “what’s the point” or “I’m wasting my time” feeling when you run into it while working on a project?
-History of Christian art vs Christian art today. Are we victims of our own success after creating some of the best visual art (Michaelangelo, etc) and music (Bach, etc) in history? What happened to the greatness? Anything left to do?
-Your opinions on the church being a patron of the arts in history vs now?
Family topics
-Keeping the fire alive with the wife even after many years and/or kids
-Work life balance: does it exist and tactics to maintain it
-Opinions and tactics for how to prevent work burnout/when to go on vacation
-Wife/husband roles and responsibilities in each of your families. Suggestions for others.
-Balancing guy time vs family time
-You all (and I) love tobacco and alcohol in moderation. Where is the line? Difference between those things and other drugs?
Silly topics
-Each of your Kevin bacon scores
-dumb hobbies you each have
-Home diy failures/successes
-getting kids to eat tricks
-getting kids to sleep tricks
-Embarrassing work or something that you hope doesn’t crop up on YouTube/internet
With Mike still on hiatus, Ethan does his best to grill Doug on his faith, his loud mouth, his certainty on the unprovable and more. We covered homosexuality last week so this week it's other stuff.
After that, we talk about our stupidest obsessions of the past, which are mostly videogames.
Mike is on hiatus, but we press forth!
Imagine you share a cool piece of Earthworm Jim art and suddenly there on your feed pop up a few comments from gamers telling you that you just supported a homophobe. Is it true? Instead of listening to random people on the internet, let's hear it straight from Doug's mouth.
Ethan and Doug discuss the common charge against Christians and especially against Doug TenNapel that they are all homophobes who hate gay people. It's a sticky, tricky topic and we were brave to get into it without calm, mild-mannered Mike to keep us in order. We miss you, Mike.
Later we talk about Doug's pet peeve that people demand ideological purity from stupid things like movies and TV shows.
