We have an off-season controversy on our hands, folks! Jeff and Joey recover to bring a PACKED episode. This week's Kraken Reaction (5:30) features NHL news from around the league, faraway Kraken fan nickname updates that may or may not have to be taken to a vote, and then the boys get into the controversy that is BookTok, what is BookTok, how Alex Wennberg and his wife got involved, and ultimate how it became international news and the organization had to step away after initially embracing it. It's a lot to unpack and if you're with family or little ones as you listen to the pod we suggest some earmuffs. After a heavy topic it's time to switch things up and the two go over some notes from members of the Kraken Pod Fam both at home and abroad including getting drunk at a casino and throwing down a Seattle Kraken future. No Dumb Questions (what is icing?!) is out this week and Joey hops into his Tales of the Cocktail plus Kraken Rum party recap including how he ended up at a gay bar singing Nelly Furtado until 5 AM. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from football is BACK(!), a book recommendation, fish from Alaska, a tribute to Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman, and more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
