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: 00:00 - Jarmo Kekalainen acknowledges our existence 00:05 - Show intro with guest @zekebud - Matt 08:45 - Pete from @TillyHockey stops by to talk about their apparel line 17:50 - Blogosphere stalwart @GallosDBJ stop buy to

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 are back in Episode 11 to update everyone on their hilarity on the CBJ Oregon Trail.  But the boys have a special guest during the entire show, none other then Mr Dark Blue Jacket himself, Tom Fellrath.  With the trade deadline approaching, the four of us draft two players for the CBJ death pool as we try to pick the CBJ player most likely to be traded at the deadline.  With the 12 game point streak over, Morgan is back in therapy.  The show winds down with a little Q&A with Tom from DBJ and the boys finally make good on a Best Buy gift card give-a-way. 

This is quite possibly our best show ever.  We record live from the #CBJsocial station during the March 16th, 2013 game against the Phoenix Coyotes.  We are pleased to bring you a 90 minute super special episode.  The show is filled top to bottom with your favorite segments, a new game, and 5 exclusive interviews with all walks of #CBJ fame.  We interview Rob Mixer, Alison Lukan, Leo Welsh, CBJ Nation, and the one, the only, Kevin Schroeder.  We bring you the conclusion to the Newly Wed game, our best "Being John Kempovich" segment yet and John, Joe, and Morgan prepare to play CBJ Oregon Trail and draft their CBJ player families during this episode.  Enjoy!

The boys are back with some new material.  The John and Morgan participate in part 1 of the Blue Jackets Newly Wed game.  The boys reveal their rules for the 2013 Blue Jackets drinking game.  But, not before a special guest appearance by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

In Episode 7 John, Morgan, and Joe pretty much go unscripted for this episode, more than usual.  But tonight has some special features.  During the opening segment the boys revel in the hiring of Jarmo Kekalainen as the Blue Jackets new General Manager.  The second segment starts at 11:50 when the boys review the week that was in Blue Jackets hockey.  The third segment of the show at 30:40 brings the world broadcast debut of Morgan Langworthy's parody of the Radiohead classic, "Fake Plastic Trees" rewritten as "Fake Plastic Blue Jackets."  Say what you will about his singer/songwriter talents, Joe Reader nails it on the guitar.  Then, for the final segment the boys play a little "WWJD - What Would Jarmo Do?"  Braclets coming soon.  You can email the podcast at DKMpodcast@gmail.com for any questions, comments, or concerns. 

The boys bring you four glorious segments in Episode 6:  They open with some big news, Scott Howson is relieved of duties.  At 12:00 of the show we bring you another episode of Being John Kempovich - it's pretty much our best segment ever.  At 29:45 we review some of the more notable trades of the Howson tenure in "Grade the Trade" and we learn that John lies to his children.  At 54:30 we review the week that was and the road trip that will be.  If you're fan enough to listen to the entire show, take a drink every time someone says the name "Steve" and then call for a cab ride home.

John is AWOL as Joe and Morgan return for another informative episode following a week of Blue Jackets woes.  It's Groundhog Day (or, as we like to call it "Groundhogs" Day)Joe and Morgan break down the previous three games. Joe assumes the role of remix master "DJ Joe" and puts some of the highlights from each game to its own song.  The boys do their best to keep John in their thoughts and jokes.  WARNING: This podcast contains the music of Enya. 

Joe Reader is the host with the most in our fourth episode.  The DKM crew returns to the quiet and audibly controlled confines of the studio.  We break down the first week's worth of Blue Jackets action while John and Joe play therapist to CBJ cynic Morgan.  The DKM boys also come up with the catchy marketing phrase, "Jack N Wiz." 

The DKM crew podcasts live from the R Bar in the Arena District in downtown Columbus, OH for the Columbus Blue Jackets 2012-2013 home opener against the Detroit Red Wings.  John and Morgan welcome Joe Reader as the full-time third member of the podcast.  Joe loves the Blue Jackets and hates all others.  The crew discusses the Blue Jackets season opener in Nashville and end each member of the podcast gets a wish.  The R Bar was a great atmosphere and was insanely loud.

After learning the do and the do nots of Podcasting in Episode One, John and Morgan return in this episode to share their thoughts of the first day of Blue Jackets training camp and try out a new segment called, "Being John Kempovich."
