Jeff is reeling after his team of destiny pulls off a miraculous comeback last night against the Montreal Canadiens which leads the boys into talking a quick overview of the NHL playoffs. This week's Kraken Reaction (9:59) covers a brief recap of last week's games before the two get into dialogue around why the Seattle Kraken MUST make dramatic changes this off-season including some high-level organizational stuff that Jeff and Joey believe the franchise is very well aware of.

No Dumb Questions (47:46) features long-standing member of the Kraken Pod Fam James Sullivan sharing some behind the scenes conversations he's had with some hockey dinosaurs who believe that Dave Hakstol will be out in the near-future which prompts him to ask who Jeff and Joey believe would be his next replacement as Head Coach of the Seattle Kraken.

Welcome to Kraken Pod After Dark, the extended version. The boys have had a whirlwind week and as a result are recording late-night Wednesday for this week's episode. Kraken Reaction (3:45) covers another 8-game losing streak, what happened to the offense and how we can turn things around, whether or not Dave Hakstol should be on the hot seat, a much needed win for the vibes against the reeling Anaheim Ducks, and Joey breaks down why Ryan Winterton and Logan Morrison were called up from the AHL as well as their history with the Seattle Kraken and what they can provide the team. A quick preview of what's going on around the league reveals that Joey has hitched his wagon to the Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers for the NHL playoffs this season which leaves Jeff heartbroken and questioning this partnership. No Dumb Questions (46:00) comes from within, with Joey posing the question of what exactly happened with Dave Hakstol in Philadelphia as their head coach and why people need to stop comparing that term to his head coaching gig now. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from the Colorado Buffaloes making noise in the NCAA tournament, crawfish boils, Outlander on Netflix, a book on Anthony Bourdain, Jeff attempting not to blow out his ACL in a fundraising race that he has done zero preparation for, and Dave Attell's new Netflix special that Joey cannot recommend enough.

THEY'RE BACKKKKKKKKKKK. Jeff and Joey reunite after Mardi Gras and Disney separate them for nearly two weeks and opt to avoid any spoilers up top, so the good stuff is saved for their Three Stars of the Week. Let's talk Kraken, shall we?! This week's Kraken Reaction (4:52) has two going back to right after the All-Star break where the team hits the road on the east coast and disappointment ensues. Jeff and Joey discuss everything that went both right and wrong in their games against the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings, how the Boston boys come alive every time they return home, Grubauer's' successful return to net, why the OT losses need to stop, and how Jared McCann is in another category all to his own.

No Dumb Questions (36:15) features member of the Kraken Pod Fam Shannon chiming in from Instagram on if a player is allowed to use their skate to maneuver the puck once their stick has been broken which gives Joey a reason to deep dive into the NHL rule book.

Oh, Olivander! In NHL News: Michaelk Buble has an unhinged press conference that is the highlight of the weekend while on mushrooms and Jeff recalls a night partying with him until 3 in the morning doing shots and Nikita Kucherov mails it in during the skills competition to give the NHL execs a middle finger that naturally sparks some debate in the world of hockey. No Dumb Questions (41:44) comes from a long-standing member of the Kraken Pod Fam who asks what NHL player holds the record for most teams played for in their career and of course the individual was originally drafted by Detroit (Detroit Red Wings podcast). Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Joey getting fat on King Cake, Jeff planning to skip town for Disney, a coveted vendor's list, True Detective season 1, what Jeff is thankful for, and what the hell is Endymion Extravaganza.

This team needs a break...and so do we. Jeff and Joey are coming in swinging going into the All-Star break as the two stayed up past midnight CST to watch the Seattle Kraken get blanked by the worst team in the league, the San Jose Sharks. This week's Kraken Reaction (7:15) covers a demonstrative win against the reeling Chicago Blackhawks, why the OT loss against the St. Louis Blues was the worst loss of the season, how Jordan Eberle's Dad Energy continues to greatly benefit the organization, and how in the hell the Seattle Kraken lost to San Jose before taking a much-needed break. Shocking to no one, the two have a different outlook on the last game of the first half of the season before Joey goes in on Hakstol and why his comments are the game were bothersome to him. Jeff shares some intel from friend of the pop Piper Shaw on what the Seattle Kraken are doing with the hats collected from the 1 and only hat trick of the organization so far and Joey recalls how it's similar to what they've learned about the Columbus Blue Jackets and their home barn. In NHL News: Jeff breaks down the deep waters that Hockey Canada is in following a sexual assault investigation amidst allegations from the 2018 World Juniors, why that's impacting the world of hockey now beyond the NHL, how this sport has a checkered past that needs to be addressed, and the two discuss what can be done in order to flip the script and do what's right moving forward. We're looking at you, Gary Bettman and Calgary Flames. No Dumb Questions (52:50) has member of the Kraken Pod Fam Ben Cumberland weigh in from Instagram on what is the most common outcome in NHL games which leads Joey down a deep dive of analytics covering nearly 60,000 hockey games, the statistical most likely outcome, how sports betting sites use that information to their benefit when setting lines, and why last night's Columbus Blue Jackets vs St. Louis Blues 1-0 outcome was a rarity seen in the NHL. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions with their improbable run that was cut short, "Monkey Man," Jeff discovering "The Office" two decades too late, Disney with the fam, Jon Stewart returning to the Daily Show, and much more.

Sylvester Stalone, Cliffhanger! What's worse: being the person who is visibly sick around others and pretending that you're not or a person who talks themselves into being sick all the time?! This week's Kraken Reaction (8:19) covers everything that has gone wrong in the current 4-game losing streak, why Joey has never been more pro-Dave Hakstol that he currently is, how star players in the NHL get special treatment, and how the vibes of the Seattle Kraken are going to flip right as the team heads into the all-star break. In NHL News: Jeff talks about the Edmonton Oilers signing Corey Perry and a new rumor going around the league as to why he exited the Chicago Blackhawks organization. No Dumb Questions (37:20) this week is a special double dose with member of the Kraken Pod Fam Darby O'hare asking what is up with the teams that throw the seafood on the ice as well as if it's true that some hockey barns purposefully change the height of the away benches to give the home an additional advantage. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from David Fincher extending his contract with Netflix, Jeff's moving woes, Jason Kelce flexing in the NFL playoffs and Joey's conspiracy theory, the Detroit Lions moving on to the NFC Championship game and much more.

Jeff goes into this week's NHL News by updating everyone on the status of Connor Bedard as well as sharing what's going on with Elvis Merzlikins in Columbus and why a trade seems imminent at this point. This week's No Dumb Questions (47:31) comes all the way from Japan where Jay asks what do NHL teams do with all of the hats that are thrown onto the ice following a player completing a hat trick. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from moving limbo to a wild head coaching carousel in both the NFL and college football, an EPIC RANT from Jeff on his personal history with the Detroit Lions and why their win on Sunday is about more than sports for the people of Detroit, flag football news that rocks Joey to his core, and soup season featuring some homemade Chicken Tortilla soup that Joey made coinciding with a much needed discussion on chips.

THE BOYS - BLOCK IS HOT! Notorious rap guy Jeff Januszek starts off this week's episode droppin' bars as the boys catch up quickly on the new year feeling refreshed after a 5 game pause in action. This week's Kraken Reaction (3:40) covers a beatdown of the Ottatwats, a breakdown of the biggest road test of the 2023-2024 season, highlights from Joey Daccord's interview on Spittin' Chiclets, and Oliver Bjorkstrand's anti-climactic All-Star selection that had him canceling plans on an Air B&B in San Diego. Next, in NHL News the boys discuss Connor Bedard's fractured jaw and why the Chicago Blackhawks are cursed, why Nylander is a top 10 players in the league and was rewarded the biggest bag in Toronto Maple Leafs history, and a blockbuster trade between the Anaheim Ducks and Philadelphia Flyers with Cutter Gautier citing GM and coaching concerns before John Tortorella sounds off in a post-game interview on the matter creating some drama in the league. No Dumb Questions (56:55) comes from Joey this week who asks exactly what the All-Star selection for the NHL looks like after a very underwhelming All-Star selection announcement from the league and the surprise but deserved pick of Oliver Bjorkstrand had Seattle Kraken fans with their heads spinning and why the NHL Operations Department has a heavy hand in all of it. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Mardi Gras and King Cake to Daisy Jones and the Six, the Seattle Mariners (despite Joey's reluctance), the Captains of the World, the Detroit Lions and much more.

Episode 100's Kraken Reaction (5:40) hits The Depths early as the boys pontificate on what position Joey would play if he were an NHL'er, why the good vibes are still rolling despite the Seattle Kraken losing their last two in a shootout and overtime, the impact of the Tomas Totar trade and the lower body industry, and a recap of an absolute beatdown of Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks.

For No Dumb Questions (40:20), with Jacques Martin stepping in to coach the Ottawa Senators for his second stint with the team, Joey asks if this is the first time someone has coached the same team twice in the NHL which leads to a breakdown of Ottawa's history including their run at the Stanley Cup in 2003 that had them losing in 7 games in the Eastern Conference Final to the eventual champion, New Jersey Devils. Jeff surprises Joey by opting to pass on Three Stars of the Week to surprise him with his top 5 (6) moments from The Kraken Pod over the past three seasons and hilarity ensues as the two reminisce on the past as well as discuss plans for the future that include guilt and blackmailing of future guests.

As Jackie Moon aka Will Ferrell once famously shouted when a bear got loose in the middle of a basketball game: "EVERYBODY PANIC!" This week's Kraken Reaction (5:32) has Jeff immediately asking Joey if he has hit the panic button yet now that November 24th has passed. Joey gives his answer companied with an in-depth breakdown of why he feels the way that he does before the boys break down last week's games against the San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks back at Climate Pledge Arena, and last night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Next, in NHL News, Jeff and Joey summarize the origin of the Corey Perry rumors that lit the hockey world on fire, why Connor Bedard's mom got involved, and how the Chicago Blackhawks handled it as an organization which initially only led to more speculation across the NHL. Jeff talks about the signing of Patrick Kane to the Detroit Red Wings, what he can bring to that roster, as well as a history of why he's a problematic figure in the world of hockey that few teams were willing to touch. Jeff also has a conspiracy theory that involves the league and Gary Bettman intentionally drumming up controversy to remain at the forefront of sporting world news. No Dumb Questions (1:12:28) features longtime member of the Kraken Pod Fam Michelle T asking what shooting percentage is and how it's calculated which leads to a few variables that many might not know. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Jeff's secret not-so-secret affinity for Hallmark Christmas movies, an epic Thanksgiving holiday, water fasting for 5 days, Christmas in New Orleans, why buying a house (fingers crossed) sucks, and Joey getting his hands on a pair of very limited sneakers while hanging out with an NBA superstar.

4 to 3, across the board, all week. Jeff and Joey discuss how tired they are after watching the Seattle Kraken have their 8th game of the season go into overtime after the squad once again had a late lead and why that's been impacting Kraken Pod After Dark. This week's Kraken Reaction (2:50) covers the brutal meltdown to the Edmonton Oilers, why Joey is cautious after taking care of the New York Islanders at home, building moments in a massive win at Rogers Arena against the Vancouver Canucks, and why in the hell the Seattle Kraken cannot take care of the Calgary Flames at Climate Pledge Arena. Philipp Grubauer has to exit last night's game after an apparent injury, and Vince Dunn remans hot with 7 points in his last 7 games, but the team is still struggling to find its identity and consistency, currently sitting in the second Wild Card spot despite being under .500 on the season so far. Joey's panic button date is still intact as his clock on the Seattle Kraken's 2023-2024 season is ticking. In NHL News: it is being reported that in 2024 we will see the return of the All-Star Fantasy Draft. Joey utilizes this as an excuse to ask what is the All-Star Fantasy Draft for this week's No Dumb Questions (34:04) and the boys go into a debate on whether or not this will be good for the league moving forward. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from reflection and gratitude for Thanksgiving, Jeff's runner's high, buying a house, pumpkin beer and seasonal drinking, drum lessons, and much more.
