This week on RoyalTea, Carrlyn and Kayla recap their trip to The Nutcracker — and in true RoyalTea fashion, getting there was anything but smooth. The fun continues as they’re joined by Seattle Kraken broadcaster and host, Piper Shaw! The trio chats about Piper’s journey to Seattle, what it was like joining a brand-new NHL franchise, a hilarious wrong-door moment, and an unforgettable story involving assistant coach Jessica Campbell ☕️

It's Kayla's first Team Road Trip! She recaps what it was like to travel on the team plane, stay at the team hotel, and how she got to spend four days with the LA Kings players' moms!

Get excited, TeaMates! This week we’re bringing you an extended holiday episode packed with pajama party vibes and plenty of laughs, featuring special guest Dan Powers from the Empty Netters Podcast. The crew dives into all things Maine (Dan and Carrlyn’s home state), humble beginnings in Hollywood, their respective acting careers (some shorter than others), Dan’s work as a film writer, and of course, a little hockey tea along the way. And it wouldn’t be a holiday episode without a Christmas movie ranking, plus a wild story involving the Home Alone house. Cozy up and enjoy! ☕️🎄

The tea was flowing this week as Carrlyn and Kayla welcomed 15-year NHL veteran Nate Thompson to RoyalTea! Before bringing Nate in, the two chatted about their shared love of The Nutcracker and Kayla’s ballet past. In a hard pivot to hockey, the trio dove into Nate’s extensive playing career, his transition into NHL broadcasting, his new hobbies (including jiu-jitsu!), and so much more. To wrap things up, Nate answers fan-submitted questions you won’t want to miss ☕️✨

This week on RoyalTea, Biz officially joins the party—but not before Carrlyn and Kayla celebrate Kayla’s birthday week and take a thoughtful (and slightly spicy) look at the goals she’s setting heading into her new year with the dramatic entrance of The Earl Grey Files. Once Biz hops in, the three dive into his rise as hockey’s unofficial (and very official) content king, how he balances being unapologetically himself with life on NHL on TNT, and why authenticity has carried him so far. Carrlyn and Kayla also get the inside look at Peakin, Biz’s newest series. Plus, a confession about an accidental info leak involving Biz. The tea? Hot.

The girls are BACK in studio after the Kings’ 11-day road marathon, and the stories are flowing. Carrlyn dishes the rest of her Teacap from the east coast (RIP lucky banana), Producer Alec returns to spill the BTS tea on the Kempe contract extensions, and the crew breaks down surprise sightings at DWTS. Plus, Kayla shares her nighttime skincare routine while Carrlyn… reacts. Oh, and THANK YOU for 1K, Tea

Carrlyn and Kayla Teacap a whirlwind weekend—Kayla’s girls trip getaway to Charleston, Carrlyn’s road trip roundup (complete with a wild DoorDash moment), a special visitor, and a surprising new good-luck charm for the Kings… one that Kayla is on the fence about. Plus, the story of how French nearly derailed Kayla’s college graduation, a state-capitol showdown, the return of the Road Kings and more!

Carrlyn and Kayla “Teacap” a wild homestand — from the Kings’ first home dub to a milestone-packed night at Crypto! Kayla finally cracks the code to adulting (hello, credit card points 👀), and the duo spill what really goes down on game days behind the scenes as they take you through a day in the life!

Carrlyn's back from the Roadtrip but not without a quick stop at the Emergency Room first! Kayla talks through her last minute (almost) trip to Nashville and how we tried our hardest to get the iconic "Horns Down" Kempe celebration onto ESPN's College Gameday, and so much more!

This week, Carrlyn and Kayla are going remote for the first time! Carrlyn’s checking in from Dallas on a five-game road trip while the two catch up on the Kings’ last homestand, tell the story of getting pulled over on the way to a game, and chat with an NHL legend. Plus, they answer listener questions for the first time — covering everything from their careers and how they became Kings fans to hair-washing habits, favorite Disney rides, and more!

Carrlyn and Kayla catch up after the team’s first road trip. Fresh off the plane (sort of), Carrlyn shares stories from the road — highlighting her favorite thing to do in each city. The two dive into the topic of nicknames (including one big one Kayla somehow missed), and things take a hilarious turn when Carrlyn offers Kayla a banana — which she refuses due to a traumatic banana incident from her past. They wrap things up by chatting about the struggles of adulting and Carrlyn’s chaotic inbox life.

On this week’s episode of RoyalTea, Carrlyn and Kayla start things off with a quick TeaCup update involving a certain someone who may or may not have missed the team plane to Utah. They’re also joined by their first ever out-of-town guests, DJ and Pete from the What Chaos podcast. Together, they dive into the story behind What Chaos, their experience interviewing Kings head coach Jim Hiller, and even get into a heated discussion about whether luggage belongs on beds. To top it all off, the crew closes things out with their thoughts on Taylor Swift’s new album. A perfect blend of hockey talk, humor, and a little pop culture chaos.

Whether it's Training Camp on or off the ice, preparing for an NHL season is no joke. Kayla and Carrlyn talk about every routine, prep, and process it takes for them to get ready for another regular season!

If you're someone who eats ramen noodles every day for breakfast, this episode is for you 😳 Carrlyn and Kayla break down the post-playoffs sadness, what they got up to in the offseason, and what they're most excited for this upcoming hockey season.
