Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Hock Blogger Mornings.

I am Brian Nemhouser.

You can find me and all the stuff that we do at HockBlogger on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,

anywhere you go.

And thank you for all the five-star reviews over on Apple Podcasts.

I'll read a couple of them a little bit later, but it's really fun to start the day looking at those,

and I appreciate all your support.

Saturdays, certainly one of the favorite days of the week.

We get to hang out with my good pal Jeff Simmons at Real Jeff Simmons and

buddy, pal. It is, it's on, man. We're like just about 24 hours away from this game. How

you doing? I'm good, man. I'm good. It feels like a playoff week. And I haven't felt like this

kind of juice and overload with content and like the shows you've had. I have a buddy who's a big time Bucks fan and they're playing in Buffalo tomorrow and he's going to the game with his daughter and he called me this morning scrambling because his daughter was kind of sick. It's getting a little cold. He's like, you want to come to the Bill's Bucks game in the world for free?

And I'm like,

are you out of your mind?

He's like,

what do you mean?

I'm like,

Like,
