Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Hockblogger Mornings. I am Brian

Nemhouser. You can find me and all the stuff we do on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, wherever you

like to watch. And you can also find our audio versions on Apple Podcast, Spotify, really,

wherever you like to get your audio pods.

Always appreciate a five-star review.

If you can take time to do that, if you're going to give less than five stars,

at least let me know, see if we can do something about it.

And you can get the ad-free version of the show on patreon.com slash hawk blogger.

Had a new patron joined just this morning. Always great to see new people

join the community over at the Discord server and all sorts of fun stuff. So it is a Saturday,

which means we get to talk with my good pal, Real Jeff Simmons at Real Jeff Simmons on Twitter.

And Jeff, man, you're a little bit under the weather. How are you feeling, dude? The last couple of days were a little tough. My throat, my nose were a little off. But I finally got a good sleep last night. I feel a little better today. It might sound a little stuffed up. But yeah, the drafts in three weeks, man. It's crazy. It's coming up.

It's coming up.

I see in chat we've got RA, I don't know how to ST4NR, whatever that means, saying,

HBO you have your draft show at the VMac.

That is my plan.

That's my plan.

I am planning to be there for the duration like I was last year and Jeff, man,

you could just see it coming. Like you see it coming from a mile away. This has been such a

boring off season. It has been so tediously boring that the draft night is going to go to all 31 picks

and the Cioxx are going to trade back.

And we're going to have spent four hours, whatever it is, five hours. And the Seahawks aren't going to make a pick. Yeah, a lot of people were like trying to like drum to conclusions because the team is doing a draft party. And they're like, okay, that means the, I'm like, guys, no, they're not, they're not going to tip them ahead of time three weeks early. No. I think they didn't.
