Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings. I am Brian Nemhouser. And you can find me here on YouTube at HockBlogger. You can also find our shorts and reels, TikTok, Instagram, all those places. You can also get our audio versions if you like to listen out wherever you are out and about.

I was just on the golf course, had some fun out there.

Apple Podcast, Spotify, wherever you get your audio pods.

We really, really appreciate the five-star reviews.

Maybe I'll start reading those again.

That was great.

And add free audio, patreon.com slash hawkblogger. So this

episode is brought to you by prize picks. And we're going to make our prize pick early today because

the Mariners play in like 10 minutes. And we're going to stick with the Mariners picking because

these guys will eventually bend to our will on this show and

stop being as frustrating as they are. I'm just committed to this bit. So we're going to go as long

as it goes, or at least until they lose enough that the bet the pick goes down to zero dollars.

So we'll do that in just a second. But I have been wanting to do this episode for a while.

And I'm glad we got a bunch of y'all here.

And I also really appreciate the patience.

It was one of those days where I was like, you know what?

I want to get out early on the golf course.

I want to do a three, three and a half hour round and have the rest of my day.

And so thank you all for being patient and letting me do this midday show.

I will do these probably more often during the off season than I certainly do during the regular

season.

Makes it nice for me.
