(:10) Brett shares his pre-show snack of champions — hard marshmallows! (aka Lucky Charms). But despite them being Unicorns, he feels they’re overrated. So, what breakfast cereal is NOT overrated?? The guys discuss and surprisingly come to a consensus that—RELEASE THE SHOW!!!

(2:30) Kevin kicks off the show with his usual gusto, and Brett interrupts in kind, wanting more emails from the listeners at ReleaseTheShow@gmail.com and teasing an upcoming episode, where the fellas are going to clean out the inbox. Kevin jumps back in with a shout out to RTS sponsor, Simple Seattle, which has anything you’re into! (Chris raises his eyebrow…)

(4:40) Before the guys get to the hockey, they gotta close the door on football and debrief the Super Bowl right quick.  Bengals-Fan-For-A-Day, Brett, is fuming with the victorious LA Story, but especially because LA wasn’t even into its own story!! Just check the regionalized TV ratings receipts. The real winners were those who bet on the crazy prop bets — babies, astronauts, Eminem’s hair, anthem times. Did any of y’all win?!

(12:19) HT1 - Kevin and Brett come hard out of the Hat Trick gates straight at Chris for coming up short with his guaranteed win vs the Coyotes. Should he get another shot? Is punishment warranted? The guys want your help — let us know what punishment, if any, should be handed down? Banishment? Go a round with the Big Rig?? Speaking of which, what a fight! No Nickname Ryan jumps in here to talk the ins and outs of hockey fighting.

(18:10) HT2 - Brett nails his predictions from last week with the Kraken going 1-2…but should he celebrate that?  It’s a bittersweet victory, to be sure, as we just want to see wins!  Perhaps RTS should STOP all predictions going forward? What would start them again, though? Are we jinxing them? Does superstition play a role in hockey?

(22:15) Kraken Day, Kraken Day, Kraken Day!!! Mark the calendars: March 3rd, 3/2, against the Nashville Predators. Come celebrate at RTS’ second home, the Queen Anne Beer Hall!  Drink a beer (or two) and, just by doing so, donate money to a good cause! And besides, it's KRAKEN DAY!!! Yep, it's officially a thing. See you there.

(24:02) HT3 - Rounding out the Hat Trick is the recent Kraken Skills Challenge! Such a fun event, with the hardest shot, the breakaway challenge, and Davy Jones dropping the puck. Is the the bonding experience that the team needed to bring some more cohesion and consistency? Don’t ask Chris. He wasn’t there. And didn’t know about it. And he lives down the street. And is salty.
