DKM Hockey Podcast

In Episode 20 Joe, John, and Morgan provide lots of laughs.  All that can be said about the 2013-2014 Columbus Blue Jackets has been said, all the speculation, the Playoffs, the scoring.  The boys open the first segment reviewing the roster additions for Ryan Murray, Boone Jenner, and David Savard.  In the second Segment, the boys explore two social scenarios and turn to the fans to help decide.  To answer the unaswerable questions, the DKM crew enlist the services of the CBJ Magic 8 ball.  And in the final segment, the boys pander the Contest Contest to the listers and add another Chapter in the B is for Boomer Children's book - J is for Jody Shelley

It's our kick off Podcast for the 2013-2014 season!  Joe, John, and Morgan spend the first 20 minutes breaking down hot CBJ topics and discuss defensemen fighting for the last few spots on the roster.  Segment 2 brings us the much anticpated #CBJ Twitter Drinking Drinking game for the upcoming season.  Also, we brinng back Matt and Jordan from @TheCBJArtillery because we messed up their interview at Cannonfest.  For the third segment Blue Jackets Defensemen James Wisniewksi joins the podcast to discuss camp, the upcoming season, and WizWear.  The boys wind down the segment with some new drops for the show and adopt a CBJ player as their child for the season.  Hilarity will ensue.  

The DKM boys podcast live from Cannonfest IV at Buffalo Wild Wings on Bethel Road in Columbus.  Since you can't take Cannofest with you, the next best thing is to hear from some of the folks who attended.  It seems like only yesterday when DKM Hockey was a budding blog trying to squeak out a name for itself at Cannonfest 3.  Now, thanks to the gracious hosts of this fan organized event, we are able to podcast live and bring the atmosphere to you!  To celebrate this event, we bring on the old guard and rising stars in the CBJ social media world.  What would a DKM Hockey Podcast be without a little 80's pop culture?  So several of our guests took the time to complete hockey themed Mad Libs penned by the DKM crew.  Here is an outline of the show should you wish to skip right to specific parts:

Officially titled The Power Hour Episode, Joe, John, and Morgan drink a shot of beer a minute for 60 minutes, then press "record" on the podcast machine for our 17th session.  The sound quality isn't as sharp for this episode as we used a new digital recording device.  Anyhoo, in segment one we welcome friend of the show and local high school hockey coach Pat Murphy to chat for 20 minutes.  Murph shares his experiences playing professionally in Europe and North America as well as offering insight into a successful high school hockey program.  In segment two, we have consumed exponentially more alcoholic beverages and ponder what Columbus Blue Jacket themed "Garbage Pail Kids" might be like.  And in the third segment, which absolutely no one remembers recording, is a spontaneous episode of Being John Kempovich.  We are all introduced to a new word in this segment.  Seriously, none of us remember this segment.

Joe, John, and Morgan drag themselves from the post season blues for an another exciting episode.  John shares his childhood love of "choose your own adventure books" and we read a handful of page of his recently published "Jarjoe Kekareader" CBJ adventrue book.  The boys finally agree on letter "G" in their childrens book of B is for Boomer.   They boys also share the much anticipated "Vinny" tribute song in this innuendo laden episode.

In their best EVER season ending podcast, the boys welcome guest host @UnionMarc to the first segment to talk all things Bobrovsky.  Joe, John, and Morgan review the highlights of the 2013 season.  The show winds up with a very rangey "Being John Kempovich" segment.  The boys wrap up the show vetting the latest submissions for B is for Boomer.

What was slated as a 10 minute closing segment to the Playoff Push Episode turns into a 45 minute bathroom humor giggle fest.  Joe and Morgan along with Gallos welcome Dancing Kevin Schroeder back onto the show.  But that's not all, Frank Adams known throughout the world as @TheAngryJacket crashes the Podcast and gives great perspective on #Lumbus, the Playoffs, and Buck toothed Alley Cats.  Kevin fantasizes about tackling Boomer and shares a great Claude Lemieux story!

Live from the #CBJBWW veiwing party on April 25th in Powell, OH.  Joe, John, and Morgan welcome two special guests to the Podcast - Full Mental Jacket's Brett Ireland aka @RockmanHalo and Dark Blue Jacket stalward blogger Mike Galloway aka @gallosdbj.  The crew explores the possibility of a Blue Jacket casted Star Wars trilogy.  RockmanHalo gives us three ideas for Columbus Blue Jackets themed video games: Super Foligno Bros.; Chaos Controll; and Jarmo Bobble.  Gallos and the boys then discuss what this playoff push as meant to them and what might still be ahead.  BRING THE THUNDER!

Joe, John, and Morgan return for lucky Episode 13 and welcome back Tom Felrath of DBJ fame.  The crew introduce a few chapters to the new CBJ childrens book, "B is for Boomer."  John and Tom have their 'Dead Pool' tie breaker in the form of Blue Jackets Jeopardy.  The boys write a tribute song to RJ Umberger and close the show with a super long "Being John Kempovich" segment.

Joe, John, and Morgan set up camp at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gahanna, OH for a #CBJBWW viewing party.  What a great week for CBJ fans.  Greg May of Full Mental Jackets sits down to discuss what might be the greatest week for an GM in franchise history.  Morgan and Joe interview the first ever DKM contest winner, Lyndsay Wilson.  Nationwide Arena Host Mike Todd stops by for a great guest interview and the DKM Crew finally reaches the end of the Oregon Trial.
