Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Hock Blogger. Mornings. I am Brian M. How's

you can find us and all that we do at TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcast, Spotify, at HockBlogger.

And when it's Friday during the season, it's a blue Friday. That means we get Mike Sando

with us. And on a very special occasion, we bring in our friend Dave Bowling as well.

And this is a special occasion as the CX have secured the number one seed, a buy week.

And fellas, first of all, good morning.

How you doing, Dave?

Good, great.

And Mike, how's your Friday getting going?

Friday's great. Dave and I actually spent some time together yesterday. We went and visited a great

friend of ours who had a successful bone marrow transplant. So Joe, tip of the cap to you,

hope you're having a good day today. And it was great to get together. Somebody we'd work with,

you know, 30 plus years ago.

So one of the guys that make journalism an integris profession.

Say more.

The people that you see the guys with the bylines and the mugshots behind them are the people who give the orders and decide

what gets covered and are really the you know the heart and soul of a sports staff and a newspaper

staff yeah i'm sorry i'm distracted right now because i see my wife driving away with her trunk

wide open oh Oh my gosh.
