LIVE FROM SEATTLE'S FINEST! NHL playoffs. Kraken Reaction: way too early NHL draft predictions, Seattle Thunderbirds, and the Coachella Valley Firebirds. #NoDumbQuestions: summer pod?! 3 Stars of the Week.
Live from Starbucks where Jeff is being judged by every stranger that walks in! The boys catch up on life as Jeff cranks away at work from a coffee shop before jumping into this week's Kraken Reaction (11:06) which has the two breaking down the piece from The Athletic on how the Seattle Kraken are a top contender for having a "spicy" off-season, way too early draft predictions and a breakdown of the draft capital that the team is sitting on, how playoff hockey is still alive in the Pacific Northwest with the Seattle Thunderbirds knocking off Edmonton and moving on to the Memorial Cup in Kamloops, and how the Coachella Valley Firebirds mirror the Seattle Kraken and are about to play for the Western Conference Finals against the Milwaukee Admirals (pro-Joey podcast). Next, No Dumb Questions (43:20) has member of the Kraken Pod Fam Carrieann McCracken weigh in on twitter asking Jeff and Joey if they will be recording the pod over the summer so she doesn't experience withdrawals. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from beach trips, TCH seltzers and spit-balling names for dispensaries, Harry Potter, the return of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

No Dumb Questions (42:23) has member of the Kraken Pod Fam Melissa Podeszwa inquire as to what exactly is a misconduct penalty and how are they enforced in a game. Coincidentally, on the morning of the podcast the boys found a letter mailed to them from Melissa the morning after the Kraken had their season end so it was meant to be! 3 Stars of the Week covers everything from golf clubs, the Big Dumper, Mother's Day, a breaking update on Jeff's flag football head coaching career, and of course...the Seattle Kraken.

THE KRAKEN WIN IN OVERTIME! Kraken Reaction: tied series, Makar's dirty hit, call an Avs fan, and Dad energy. #NoDumbQuestions: is there an ejection system in the NHL? 3 Stars of the Week.
Why watch overtime playoff hockey when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter?! This week's Kraken Reaction (3:24) has Jeff and Joey IMMEDIATELY diving into game 4 of the Seattle Kraken vs. Colorado Avalanche playoff series following an epic overtime win at the hands of Jordan Eberle.

No Dumb Questions (38:51) has Member of the Kraken Pod Fam Jared Ostrader weighing in after Makar's hit on McCann gifted him a suspension for game 5 and how exactly the playoff ejection system works in the NHL and how the NHL Player Safety Office plays a critical role in determining the outcomes in everything across the league. 3 Stars of the Week has everything from homemade margaritas, Nate Diaz choking out people on Bourbon Street, the Colorado Buffaloes, golf tournaments, and how the boys will be honoring Jordan Eberle's heroics with National Dad Energy Day.

KRAKEN 6 OILERS 0 FINAL SCORE
BRING IT ON KRAKEN🥅 GO BEET THOSE OILERS
Seattle Hackey, S to the D!
I can’t say it’s the best podcast ever because once I found this, I was 98% sure it was the best and won’t waste my time listening to others. Next to Kraken games, this is currently my #1 choice in entertainment across all media. It does help that I went to high school outside the D in the 90s, and the Redwing hat tips strike a chord. The Redwings have been the NHL stand in team for most hockey fans I know in Seattle. The strengths here are community building, camaraderie , and the typical shenanigans people enjoy about sports. If you’re looking for stat heavy analysis, or you can’t listen to colorful language, you should probably (earmuffs) right the (earmuffs) off, get your (earmuffs) toting (earmuffs) (earmuffs) something else to (earmuffs) (earmuffs) (earmuffs). It is an explicit cast, marked as such, mind the kiddos :) Almost forgot, if you’re new to the cast, these things keep well, go back and listen to the oldies.
Enjoyable podcast for Kraken fans.
Joey & Jeff put on a fun, lighthearted, and enjoyable podcast dedicated to the Seattle Kraken (and Detroit Red Wings) hockey team(s). I consume all the media around the Kraken (and a lot of general NHL information) and these guys are by far the most fun to listen to. I’ve been involved in hockey all my life as a player, on-ice official, and of course fan, but their focus on the new fan isn’t a detriment to my enjoyment, even though they often get small things technically incorrect in their answers to “No Dumb Questions”. They’re still 97% correct, but 100% entertaining. So many hockey podcasts are slow and dull, but not this one! They get right to the depths (EARMUFFS!) and stay funny and entertaining the entire time. Keep up the great work guys!
