Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of HawkBlogger Mornings. I'm Brian

Emhouser. You can find me and all that we do at Hawk Blogger on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram.

And crazy enough, I guess people are kind of into what's happening with the Seahawks.

Over three million people tuned in this last month, which is I think most of them are here to see our next guest. Matt Hasselback here every Tuesday. Matt, man, welcome. How's your week started? It's good. It's good. We had our football banquet last night. It was more crying than I expected, you know, from really coach, who's my little brother.

But I think it just goes to speak to, you know, it's bigger than football in a locker room,

a lot of times. And that was really cool. And then we have signing day for our college bound

football players tomorrow, which is also a little bit emotional, especially because there's a lot

of coaching movement in the college ranks.

So, you know, we got kids that are getting ready to sign to a place and their coaches are rumored to go somewhere else and go up.

But, you know, see how that goes.

So it's the business of football is a real thing.

And also the stuff that goes way beyond X's and O's in terms of relationships is a real thing. So it's good lessons to learn again, not that I haven't learned them, but it's cool to be a part of it. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. I want to get into that a little bit, but first, how was your Thanksgiving? I knew you were out, yeah, out in the West Coast, yeah?

Yeah, it was great.

We've never had a Thanksgiving quite like that. And Thanksgiving was always kind of a workday for me anyway. So it was a workday for my son. They played USC this weekend. And he had practiced in the morning, like super, super early, but he was done by 1130. So we did kind of a California Thanksgiving, you know, like at a restaurant.

We'd never really done that before. but he was done by 1130. So we did kind of a California Thanksgiving, you know, like at a restaurant.

We'd never really done that before.

So it was good.

It was very different.

Amazing sunset in Santa Monica.

So got a couple pictures.

Might be even Christmas card worthy photos.

So it was a success.
