Hello and welcome to the Sea Hawkers podcast.

I'm your host, Brandon Schultz, and today I am joined by a trifecta of my good buddies.

We've got Adam Emmert, we've got Clinton Bonner, and we've got Nathan Santo from the Hawksnest podcast. Nathan, welcome back to the show. It's been a little bit, bud. Yeah, thank you. Thanks for having me, man. It's been too long, too long for sure. I've just been in the hole because, you know, I got two kids now and it's like everything is so crazy. But they're getting older now. So now I feel like I'm more free

than I used to be. Well, and it's summertime too. You're free from other work obligations, I suppose.

Five days to go, yeah. All right. Almost a. Tomorrow I have jury duty, so we'll see how that goes.

Oh, gosh. No work, just something that less fun somehow. Yeah. Adam, you are back on the show after we did a flagship, so it hasn't been as long since I've seen you. How are you doing, ma'am? No, it hasn't been a tough break for you. Things are good. I have no wild birds in my house, unlike Nathan. So I'm having a great day. I don't know about you, Clinton. Any wild birds? Are you good?

No, no wild birds, thankfully. I'm just having a nice little drink here, boys. We were talking

baseball before we got on. I did have my Mets cup here. Yes, my Mets love coming through, but we're

not here talking about the New York metropolitans, not even the Mariners, Brandon. We got a different

topic today with our amazing guest star, Nathan, because, man, I've been

hanging out in the Discord for a long, long time now because I'm a big fan of the Seahawks Nest

podcast, remains one of my favorites.

And, man, Nathan has been a true fan and supporter, I'd say, Nathan of one Sam Donald for

many years. Like, we're talking Panthers years. And you were like, this guy can play. I'm telling

you. So I was like, we got to, we got to bring Nathan on. Talk to him about our quarterback man.

Okay. Here's the thing. So I, you know, you pick out guys that you like believe in, right? And you guys know, I like to like watch the draft and like figure out what's going on, you know, in the drafts and like watch all those guys. And you pick guys and you're like, I like that guy. You know, I think he'll still be good. And then, you know, but it's the, when you have a hot take, it's far away from you when it's on someone else's team, right?

So, like, my hot take that Sam take, it's far away from you when it's on someone else's team, right?

So like my hot take that Sam Darnold's still good was fun, was cool when I was on the Panthers. He's on the Vikings. It's like, yeah. And then last year I'm like, oh, yeah, I was right. But now it's like the call is coming from inside the house. You know what I mean? Like, I have to really live and believe this take in a way that I did not.

I don't know.

This is going to test my faith for sure in a way that wasn't tested before because, yeah, you know, you scout a guy, you think he's good. You stick with the take. And then now you have to like, now I have to really live it because it's on my team. You know, it's like a little, a little more intense.

Well, we're looking forward to hearing more of that, Nathan.

And we're probably looking forward to also pro tips on how to de-bird your house, if that ever were to happen.
