All right, Hawk fans, here we go.

The long-awaited return by, I think, maybe at least a couple of people.

Maybe my mom, maybe Brian's mom, maybe my wife, Brian's wife, that's about it, of the Softie

Hawk Blogger podcast on hiatus last week because Brian was a jet setter.

He was a world traveler going to London.

I think I thought I saw you in Paris last week. So welcome back to the good old USA, man, first of all. And second of all, tell us about what it was like to be out there, man, because it looked like a free, a freaking Seac home game at Wembley Stadium last week, dude. Yeah. Yeah, it's good to be back, man. It was a great trip.

I mean, I try to make, at least for the last few years, I try to make at least one road trip a year with some friends.

And this time took the big trip across the pond and brought my oldest son along with me.

And it was just a great experience.

You know, definitely a lot of memories. And as someone who I know was in new york in 2013 because i spent time with him and

his lovely wife uh in the wee hours of the morning um it felt a little bit like that to be

very honest it was like you know lots of seahawks fans all over the streets uh up to the game felt very much like, you know, a neutral field that the Seahawks fans dominated.

I was very confident going into it. And it just, it was very much the same. It's the way I felt

I met fans from all over the world, Seahawks fans, that is. So it was just really, man, you know what Seahawks fandom was like in the 80s and 90s,

and to see how far it's come to a worldwide brand.

And truly, it's really amazing.

It really is pretty cool to see how connected Seahawks fans all over the place.

Yeah, and I would love to compare the showing that Seahawk Nation, if you will, had at Wembley Stadium and in London last week to, like, what they get when the Jaguars come to town, for example, or what they get, I think the Chargers may be on their way to London at some point. And, I mean, I don't know the answer. I'd be curious, Brian, to kind of compare and contrast just the enthusiasm, the passion, the sheer volume of fans that show up. Now, to be fair, this was our first game out there. So if this becomes, you know, a, you know, a typical thing every two

or three years, maybe you won't get that kind of enthusiasm. But I'd love to compare it to those

other fan bases and see how we compare. Yeah, well, the, the natives, the locals out there were
