Our live show on April 21 at Belltown Yacht Club featured Talkin’ Taco Time with all four cohosts plus the return of Jake One. We previewed the Seahawks’ options in the NFL Draft with Danny Kelly and Mike-Shawn Dugar, including our mock draft, and finished things up by selecting Seattle’s best donut — and the fan vote winner — with the help of Allecia Vermillion.
