POPULARITY
(:30) Brett's gotta get something off his chest: his son is playing little league baseball, and it's just not the same as when he was a kid…..it's BOUGIE! No more big black duffle bag, busting at the seams, full of community gear – nope, he has to buy EVERYTHING for his kid! Ouch…we wish your pocketbook well, Brett – may it last a full season! And may our Twitter contest have winners—but first…RELEASE THE SHOW! (2:51) The show gets off to a late start, literally, as the guys get lost in the sweet sounds of friend of the show, B-Boy Fidget. “What's Crackin? What's Crackin? We Kraken, We Kraken…” Oh, sorry, it almost happened again! Anyway, that Twitter giveaway isn't much of a giveaway because…we can't give the stuff away!! People apparently just don't want free Davy Jones T-Shirts like they used to. Intern Brian the GOAT wants to give away 5 Davy T's, and we can't figure out why no one wants to make the GOAT happy?! Hit us up! (4:49) HT1 – What do Dan, fans, and John Hamm have in common? Macarons! Wait, no, that comes later. All-Star Weekend!!! That's right – it was the Kraken's first NHL All-Star Weekend, and our boy, Dan, was out there representing. And so was our boy, Brett, on Twitter, reminding everyone our boy's name is…DAN. And apparently STILL trying to remind John Hamm that it's macarons…not macaroons. Or is it the other way around? Who knows! And who knows why the judges chose Pietrangelo as the Breakaway Challenge winner, when you had Trevor Zegras' out there Average Joe'in it up blindfolded! Kevin knows. Two words: Fan Voting. Maybe the fans should vote on Brett & Jon Hamm's beef? (9:30) HT2 – He did it folks! He FINALLY DID IT!! The Skoi Wonder has emerged with his cape and put one in the back of the net! And he's not gonna look back! (Right??) It only took RTS creating a fire nickname and fire T-Shirt to make it happen…AGAIN (cough) DAN! (cough). Give us some credit, Gismo!!! Nonetheless, we will all remember where we were at that very moment. For Chris, it involved cognac and smile; for you, it was ___________ (that's where you hit us up and fill in the blank!) (12:16) HT3 – Can we? Do we? SHOULD we? Get back to predictions??! Slippery slope, RTS friends…slippery slope. To be fair, the Kraken are playing better, but the fellas are nervous about making predictions again and promise to quit altogether, if there's a clear jinx factor at play here. In the end, Brett is a bit more pessimistic than Kevin and Chris, as he goes 1-2, while his two co-hosts go 2-1. But NOBODY wants to go “full prediction.” You never go “full prediction.” 18:25 – Wait, before you go! Brett has a few more words for John Hamm on the way out the door! SEE YA!
(:05) Hold on…let us get this straight: people win cool free stuff…but then same people don't want cool free stuff that they won…for free?? C'mon RTS Twitter folk! Now, we gotta employ the BLEEP, because BLEEP and BLEEP and BLEEP didn't want Davy Jones gear. Sad state of affairs…but thankfully, it's Kraken Day soon! What are y'all doing? The guys are mulling a Secret Santa exchange and gifting each other onesie pajamas. Yeah, probably time to get to the show. (2:36) Brettonius Interruptus (Brett's scientific name) does what he does best and interrupts Kevin's intro with more stern words for BLEEP and BLEEP and BLEEP from our failed Davy Jones T-Shirt giveaway but with the brilliant idea of potentially…picking NEW WINNERS?! BLEEP and BLEEP better act fast! (4:15) KHT#1 – The Kraken rollercoaster rides on! Exciting first OT win against the Pens…straight to tough, last-second loss to the Rangers. But WAIT! Is it a conspiracy? Did the refs purposefully turn a blind eye to an obvious interference call? Are we just the new kid(s) on the block?? Is it an inside job??! Or is it simply Intern Brian's fault? We think you know. (8:38) KHT#2 – We certainly know whose fault it ISN'T…The Salmon McCannon! The guy is just a machine. Yes, we know – that's what the “cannon” part implies already, but seriously, the Salmon McCannon is undoubtedly making a case for himself as the Kraken's best player. Should that bring about an argument as to which Kraken player should be headed to the All-Star Game?? Listen for yourself. You might get your answer…and some Barry White (compliments of Chris). (15:10) KHT#3 – RTS fan favorite, LAW FIRM OR LINE COMBO, is back! That's right, baby! Chris and Brett go head to head once again and attempt to show off their hockey player / big whig attorney knowledge (or lack thereof), only this time wielding completely opposite strategies. In the end, one of them gets salty about the ever-changing rules, while one of them gets the victory...and we ALL get the most challenging live read the show has ever had. Thanks, Brett! Now, cue the Barry White again…
(00:05) Just when you think you know someone…they go and get a mustache. And it's ah-maziiiing! Yep, it's a big day at RTS, as the guys welcome their first mustache to the show. Is it just a phase? Or here to stay? You'll have to ask Brett…but it might hinge more on your Kraken… (2:22) A show can't be a show without a welcome and a shout out to the best sponsor around — Simply Seattle! Now, don't make us tell you again to head on over to SimplySeattle.com to see the freshest Kraken gear, including the new Davy Jones T-Shirts and restocked $25 dollar hoodies. Oh BTW, RTS10 gets you 10% off. You're welcome ;) (3:03) Speaking of those new Davy Jones T-Shirts, Intern Brian the GOAT set up a fun fan contest on Twitter and RTS listeners came in clutch, just like they always do! Brett sets the scene for the end of the show, where 5 lucky listeners will win a free Davy Jones Shirt because of their active Twitter fingers. (3:57) KHT1 - We're winning again! We're winning again! 3-2 in our last 5 games, to be exact, including sexy season series sweeps (say that 5 times fast!) against the Sharks and Panthers (our show's original nemesis). What changed? Is it Davy? Is it Gruby? Sorry—we mean, Lip. The guys dive in and rap about the team's recent play, and that can only mean 1 thing: Danger Zone Drops. (11:33) KHT2 - Most NHL teams have a team dog—oh, you didn't know that? It's ok, neither did Chris. But it's true, and Seattle joins the club with the bestest boy ever, Davy Jones! The fellas discuss the new team pup and the credit he has received for the team's recent good play. But how does Davy stack up against the other team dogs?? Unbiased discussion clearly ensures. (16:11) KHT3 - Oh, isn't that so cute…RTS is all growed up…we have Press access now! Via No Nickname Ryan, who comes on the show to chop it up about Press Conferences, morning skates, almost calling Dan…Dan, and T-Shirt Cannons?? Plus, he's down to ask YOUR questions, so tweet the show with questions you have, and we'll have #RyanAsk. (20:36) IT's TIIIIMMME!! 5 lucky listeners get to hear their names called as lucky winners of the new Simply Seattle Davy Jones T-Shirts, all thanks to RTS! Did you win? Well, you gotta listen to find out. And yes, we used an actual hat this time. Congrats to the winners! Wear ‘em with pride, y'all!!
00:00 - It's the holidays, so the whole RTS Family is in the house, INCLUDING the Kraken! Well, sort of…they were playing the Sharks at the time of our taping, so the crew reacts in real-time to the game play and to a much-needed Kraken victory! Oh, and to Driedger's crazy attempt to score an own-goal from behind the net? Huh?! 2:00 - You're the GOAT! No, YOU'RE the GOAT!! NO, YOU'RRRRRE THE GOAT!!!! Wait…what's a GOAT? Who's the GOAT? Am I, and everyone else, overusing the term GOAT and its iconic emoji?? Not sure we have the answers, but we certainly have the discussion. You're the GOAT, if you listen. 3:50 - The man, the myth, the legend, the GOAT? Intern Brian is front and center to Release the Show! But first, things get a little awkward with Kevin and Brian, and they gotta work through it to get to a fun chat all about Intern Brian: reacting to Kraken nation on Twitter, comparing our beloved Kraken to hockey in Canada, and of course, waiting for MONTHS to Release the Show!!! (Don't embarrass the family, now, Intern Brian ;) 8:48 - Hot for Teacher Kevin kicks off our holiday show but doesn't get far until Brett chimes in with talk of the most “popular” John Denver holiday song. Everybody knows this one! Mama Got Ran Over By A Reindeer, right?! No. Frosty the Snowman?! No. A Holly Jolly Christmas??! NO. Hmmm…are we sure it's a popular one? You tell us! 13:10 - The time comes for the family to go round the table and share what they want Santa to bring them for Krakmas! First up: Friend of the Show Ryan tells us what he wants Santa to bring him for Krakmas. We bet you'd want it, too. 14:00 - Next up: Producer Katie jumps into the action with what SHE wants from Santa for Krakmas! Can you guess what it is? Could be anything, right? Yeah, we didn't say it was an easy question…geez. 15:00 - Not to be outdone (albeit, not a competition), Kevin jumps in with what he's hoping for from Santa. Disclaimer: reality was not kept in mind. 15:30 - Brett's up! Does he actually want a…Trebuchet…for Krakmas?? What the f*#@ is that anyway? And will he ever stop talking about it? Not if Chris keeps asking questions… (But really, what the f*#@ is that anyway?) 17:30 - Hopefully not a trebuchet, as well (because that would be weird), Chris shares what he wants from jolly old Saint Nick! Hint: he's the only one without it! 20:38 - Our Krakmas roundtable comes to a rousing close with what “the GOAT” wants. That's right - Intern Brian makes a BIG ask for Santa. And we'll just say this: fan favorite Turbo Tanev is involved…hmmmm…. 23:39 - Oh wait! Brett is back with potentially another wish for Santa…or is it simply a hobby to share? Eh…it's tough to tell the difference, when buying private islands. Amiright? Happy holidays everyone!

Today's Wellness Check is with Sun-Times sports reporter Brian Sandalow. Based on a chance meeting at a Cubs game with Brad, Brian actually got his start "journalism" with The Heckler, where he "interned" for a couple years while in high school. He went on to bigger and better things, which he and Brad chronicle in this conversation. Brian had some stories about covering minor league hockey in a small Texas town on the Mexico border out of college. Brian eventually found his way back to Chicago where he worked for a few outlets, most recently the Sun-Times. He has covered the Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks, Wolves, Sky, Fire, Northwestern athletics and more. This work ethic prompted Brad to call him a hustler, which he quickly corrected to "grinder" which doesn't sound much better in retrospect. Brad and Brian talk about journalism's existential crisis, some of the most memorable events Brian has covered, Brian's much cooler brother who works for AS Roma, how being a sports journalist makes it tough to maintain your fandom, what a struggle it is to play as the Bulls on NBA 2K, what Brian would sacrifice for the quarantine to come to a quick and responsible end, and much more.
