I didn't read not likely identity one that I'll. -- and it's acute over there -- The the -- he'll -- on the weekdays every Thursday. From now on. In the way that worked. We're going to -- something that happened on Wednesday or Tuesday in the caller who it's aquae. Will win at Gary. -- would put the question about that call right write them a call and ask them live on the your question so are we going to have a different question for every -- Because now all the kind of cover up I come -- play that is somebody gets their right he bats right kind of tag but my point no deals with the question I. Personal call in. We ask questions get it wrong now everyone -- to go to W private and to the archives. By -- the question recall has done if you're worried that they'd deserve. That I credit goes -- those -- radio station tonight at the -- do it what you mean we're not a -- we're definitely has been -- recently is now whatever I think that celebrating. And particularly -- Dover is opening up the -- October 15 however there -- all over. As. And the winner will eat taco -- and -- and Rio -- Taco bar hot not to bar all the above option though okay basically ignored then it's a -- favorite when he people. You can pick it up any parts or recall right I. Eric you need that even you know after. Your very good shape to idolize her diet you know reportedly -- is that -- Very healthy you know you get the menu is basically you can order something not the manager you can make it the way you want it seeking get you know nor -- and and -- you can get on the about what to do several times a week as well. -- Very.

But the the vote was phenomenal at two tacos -- chicken -- And then you have that you guys what what. -- I think here actually switch the recipes with secret by that. It definitely I didn't not until -- out okay. And after -- I went into coming up US unit you know what the rest you know I don't I think if you -- now -- it through that the -- product and it goes. Goes along -- when you married I'm not to bring women over to take out the bad. After the campaign that they treat drug what does it.

If you love the and that the tortilla chip the other -- or even just plain are the best -- right yes he had to make them fresh. -- everyday -- equipment -- and -- got a little -- a little -- yet -- Jerusalem -- and -- into -- and -- I -- you know -- Randy -- at Iowa Cubs. -- the -- in the traditional. -- you can -- got -- you don't have to -- throw -- the -- all this -- and that -- exactly -- chicken -- just --"

[6:35]" Yet cook and restaurant report report -- out and 82 and -- like that eaten in like -- and they look -- even there -- that's could be done something -- or finicky you know we -- you know about product out there but yet. It's -- preference foreign heads up the doors so it's traded Griese. At all make you cookies and which are strangely and they were equal to regular cookies I don't know -- a Mexican cookie at me strangely. In. I kind of expected them to be a downer because I think Mexican -- idea if there is at best Cokie could I Amanda and it was a good you -- not have to ask the country. It is dollars and I wanted to -- comment don't expect the cookies and brownies though it isn't -- factor in rounds. How. Paul about -- after that. Right of that we want to thank you for graduating you've got into the apartment and down anything you want to tell us about -- going to be opening up the pitcher played well prior to -- replace broken up into a more -- a few days as well so hopefully take from the moment of the Red Sox and then. That up with that. You know a -- victor victories by the -- opener down here mid October right before the Monday night -- big Bronco. I usually I like Brett Alec you. They're big brown was marked the Broncos but I live in a little Massachusetts now everybody Brock and not a Patriot -- but I like to see him succeed but definitely and the prospect yet. Don't sell your soul you know Michael Michael -- and then we let him work and unemployment. I I I predict that. By the into the he's in you're going to be -- and you won't like the Broncos anymore but you can really. Really into the caters Superbowl party that. Maybe any. Canadian. Great to be a part of it and -- that you are aware of it and food. And we didn't know and you know -- stuff cool all right thank Matt."

[8:32]" Matt Light to Joba -- double question of the week that today every Thursday from now until the end of the season. And the first caller 5 -- 543 and 482 Gary will pose questions to them or all do it. What's it. The but the question is. Quite an attempt -- Matt Matt -- distracted very easily -- A lot so we're going to do that when we gonna do that the question -- somebody calls and call out to called out by the way by what three what does that mean that by the way. 54 operators are innings I email address and you can't email him only Colin thing but the email for those who want to. The days web radio -- dot com -- radio. Patriots dot com right now we have all that taking care big news that day. Who want."

[9:22]" One. I think you should handle it and you don't think the guy has anything left. Why diminished novels not allow him the most emotional press conference I've ever been. Very nice Troy Brown was here announce his retirement. I'm I thought everybody who took part in a very good job I thought bill was great at mister Kraft was great. But more importantly and and kind of stole the show emotionally was Troy -- wife and two sons were in the front row and now Mon. Hands on on today and from on was the emotional one thanks as soon as it began was in here calling his eyes kind of burying his his head in his mom's. On shoulder and then closed it out emotionally with the final question of the press conference which. I'm surprised Troy held together I don't know how he has -- deck he did luckily and he answered it like a a leader and a father he didn't just wrote that he was clearly sending a message was on beyond to answer that question. I'm -- is on closed out by saying. If you love football much that -- you retire. Now that's a tough question from accused all eyes on the front -- But overall -- the media relations department I would give props to they had Troy Brown photos throughout the media work room there was on the big display I think in was part that they had photos from throughout his career. Even going back to -- when he worried that early in his career and it was funny his wife turned to one of his -- goes do you remember. Oh you are more important point but I thought everybody a great job in November 13 the Thursday night game against the Jets will be Troy Brown day. Here at Gillette Stadium and they celebrate his fifteen year with the Patriots."

[11:01]" Cool it was time. Incredibly well give a pat on the back to everybody involved in a ceremony. I think. I have to rethink my whole outline about that the movie Fred that you guys talk -- the Hall of Fame that made people cry. It was emotional press comes today I have to rethink my whole stance on that okay but they must have really been good for -- to credit the PR department but they thought they'd already happening at that -- all the just -- he's had all the photos all the as to which they went the whole way."

[11:29]" And -- little things like bill showed up in jeans and a shirt. Which in the in this might have been just an act immediately just getting whatever like he was just coming from practice yet came -- and it came off as a guy and he -- it was an honor to coach and all that but he came off as a guy just remembering a guy get a lot of export rather than the coach seeing what he had to say because he's the coach if he had been there in the -- I feel like it would've not felt the same way. And he gave Troy three. Photos as mementos from him his great plays on he had the the punt return. I'm against Cleveland Browns. He had -- one on one -- Donald driver which was cool photo eighty on it was a great on the talked about how driver at that point was I believe leading the NFL -- pass receiving yards and -- goes out there and hold them to one catch and -- you know how much that epitomizes what Troy Brown was -- and the other -- Miami the big play in Miami the 82 yard touchdown in overtime. And and bill in used a lot in the air of of what he does in general but. How people doubted him in another Miami player by a Troy Brown couldn't go deep it said. Peter can't win early in the year Miami and how much he plays meant to the team in Detroit coach and gave those it was."

[12:40]" Impressive -- I will I will remember that for -- and I thought the way that -- and that's the way to -- also. And the way he you know going into the way to describe that as it it was more than just the coach getting up there and witty quote unquote had to say. The weight of old use that equipment -- more than that to him in. How many examples -- he he brought up about remembering Troy were obvious ones but some others weren't so obvious and you know like that Donald driver want to wanting he really went into great detail how that all came about -- the guys that were missing that week Eugene Wilson Rodney Harrison not to an oral out of the lineup and gets a guy there was evening and eat at the time in receptions. And they haven't put -- on him he talked about how the look that he got in the locker room even from teammate. In Asia to the right thing to do -- went out and held on to one catch for three yards and I just thought that the way that detailed. It would in which bill spoke showed me -- he gave them thought and it meant a lot to him now. I was very impressed with that the entire production and specifically the way to mr. crafted and and bill spoke about Troy in the the reference I think that was someone Everton in the way it is."

[13:50]" But also a lot of on the involved. Troy kind of reference number time he'd like to come back but they clearly know they moved on you know grandfather time and god. But all so that you know he has the offer to go to New York this year but the color wasn't right feel right want to wear green and white again which obviously were his colors -- Marshall. Arm will be red white and blue for ever. -- even talking so much as to what we've heard in the past but referencing how Robert Kraft bought for him to keep him here when he could go elsewhere in the -- sort of coercing Bill Belichick and to bring him back when maybe bill wasn't. 100 and on board with that there was a lot of -- emotional and a lot of truth than just it was sort all laid out there and I thought it was a great presentation. Cool and I think he's probably going to get to the Patriots hall of -- I think. Possibly. It was there any talk about what he's doing now we're going to do I know they have bought he'll be around he said sounds like he's gonna -- and media stuff I -- is -- he had some some dealings with Comcast on he's going to be around here he says and business ventures and charitable. He's going to be around -- also left the door open for. Coaching down the road may be after his kids are a little older he wants that. Be in their lives right I think -- ten something in the range and McMichael calm down the road he did or leave a little bit of."

[15:05]" The -- Arnold when they're old enough to maybe get on a bike ride to come eat him. Maybe that'll be -- to practice the cute. Coach in -- practice and yeah his kids would be it would -- him but right now and Arnold not to do that you know be more popular throughout the entire press conference will be available pitchers playbook. And it is -- for our. -- be able to the entire thing though the last few crop. And well you know we had -- you know in the locker -- some of the teammates. Spoke about Troy and Rodney Harrison and Matt Light Kevin Faulk. You know others didn't want to for whatever reason but. Just I think the respect that you hear from the different guys you know Kevin Faulk talking about tucked in the little bit yesterday in. Wasn't anything pro found -- you know -- Pacific but just you could tell. The respect that Troy Brown had an all for all of those guys in there. I don't think everybody and I think everybody lives with that right president here 1993. Yeah. -- don't want anyone to ever had anything that they about Troy Brown and Larry Brown -- for anything to. You know are very well for the team. He's been the consummate. -- when when Trent was talking about how he tried to play in he added that. Bill always wanted to smart tough football team and looked at bill. And bill was looking at Troy is nodding your head in India had a smile on its almost like horse who have been -- That is said or who incidentally he -- what's open -- fine -- but. -- until -- was like. That's why he he'd get in Bill Parcells and he he gets that's why -- I think that was like a proud moment for penalty here Troy a the message that's bills met in a nutshell I want a you know my. Tough football team. That's pretty wanted to naturally said that's like try to play."

[17:01]" Rob from Duke guard Germany. Soon to be West Point New York is hard to see Troy Brown retire. It was one of those players that was just great to have on the team I'm wondering if Brady was still healthy if he would have made this choice. I emailed you guys about -- by much earlier this week but I guess that wasn't read my -- is hopefully to agenda won't grew up and."

[17:22]" Don't hold your breath and Allen."

[17:25]" Yes -- Yeah gasket that word -- these toys as it Marie were healthy the play he went and asked them at night and -- at the email and I'll. US and -- that a thousand I thought I thought that -- case by a while I tell you don't get old when he said he watches games and I can pack catches that he goes out jogs and eager to occur. He's a little another further and it was kind of suggests that he would have liked to come back the -- out yeah if they -- innings it really evaluated and it still would make it past and right now my 2 November 13 on that night they need somebody at halftime I think he would I'm sure you would think he's better than --
