Joey reveals he hasn't left the house for the better part of a week and Jeff travels instate to take his son duck hunting for the first time. In Kraken Reaction, the boys discuss the loss of Brandon Tanev and what that means for the Seattle Kraken both on and off the ice and Jeff poses the question of who on the roster is going to step up and fill his skates in his absence. Joey goes off on a rant for his hatred of the Philadelphia Flyers before the two break down the game and what went wrong before taking a moment to pause and reflect on how nice it was to have Yanni Gourde back out on the ice after being in Covid protocol and he goes on to score the first goal for the Kraken who eventually end up losing 3-2 in overtime. Next, Jeff and Joey break down the matchup against the Calgary Flames and discuss their goalies before coming to agree on a prediction that the Kraken are going to break their losing streak when they play the Vancouver Canucks who are on a winning streak. Last but certainly not least, an interview with Brandon Seeley, Founder of the 32 Krew. Brandon shares everything from his personal background to how he launched the 32 Krew, how the Seattle Kraken organization reached out to intervene and ultimately help him rebrand, DM'ing billionaires on Twitter, and what he has coming down the pipeline.
