Play from 2:31[2:31]" Yeah it's I pride won't be a lot it's good to be -- and I appreciate everything that every once said. -- house away especially James who made that. Website you -- it. You know what you're really at some point this year pretty down and depressed and when I went they're all those things every once literally lifted my spirits."

Play from 2:52[2:52]" That was nice and Thomas back you know what especially when you feel up to we're going to have to hear some stories and you've got them. Stories you know throughout the week things that you had to go through and you know answer unless they -- filing for divorce as we speak -- you have some funny way to put on some of the stuff that he had to go through who you know keeping a -- that's humorous so aura when you're ready you know you. You know aggregated all the stories in the world you -- need at least."

Play from 3:22[3:22]" It'll -- well no skill no. That's any good looking horses are all know biblical sense I never get any good look at nurses are there any. But that that I'd -- to take my wife my -- policy when senators and never I never get O'Neal. That was got those old nurse ratchet yeah. Sorry how to Thomas. I want to know -- Gary's -- it was well I'm. It was good first of all of -- we decided disappoint you weren't were unable to block from the reception as strippers on the block. We couldn't do that was an ice time up pat myself on the back that was the only one that actually went -- the ceremony. In witness the house. I wouldn't -- that is true that you are the only one however you made up for that by leaving the action about half hour after the that's a true. I it was a nice ceremony and and I Church in Newton old. You know big big question -- the -- and I'm being dead on why won't have a wedding it to order reception I don't understand that. I thought maybe -- was -- that's not contribute to you leaving early. Absolutely and that's the reason why Andy and I didn't go to the ceremony normally for a moment like wouldn't let the ceremonial that was extenuating had a child care. Now I didn't have anybody to watch him -- my -- to thirteen. I don't know but they'll both you have to go to the wedding you have to leave -- new. You don't get back until midnight -- Right I think I left around nine -- an -- time in nine Gary it was a good Spirit obviously you have to give it -- A beautiful day for the wedding aren't very long that he walked down to."

Play from 5:11[5:11]" It was -- and and it. What was -- a football Eagles stadium on when they got introduced yeah yeah I forget though it was one of those songs you know. But it was like a lot of people that they've probably 300 people at the reception. At the grand lake golf course in that Quincy -- fairly new golf course of looking. Boston so that was nice. They had the traditional Irish band for the a friend asked if I am glad you brought that up Fred was. You know the life of the party -- yet cocktail reception was outside and and overlooking you know the golf course is really really nice and at this Irish what it is like string quartet like that again and Fred is tournament every song singing out -- out at one point you know -- with -- order for those around him you know even alien -- I let -- know and never song I had no. May never count them no name never dull boy excited it's kind of lousy could. That brought me -- about every St. Patrick's day -- ever had between twenty and thirty years old. Front in Boston somewhere. So while it was bad but but he got for going to have a good time if you can look at -- yet such an Italian league. I went up what's gonna go dancing so I figure once the -- came out kind of keep neglected -- does she does. Well I don't want to bet that she was out there lol I'm pretty much now. It was like you're winning you're wedding was more intimate like kind of like even though you didn't know everyone felt like he knew a lot of people that put us. They put -- you know meet in the Paul wells was that I table that's it -- Thomas. They put the for the quarter they could -- like that I think we were --"

Play from 7:01[7:01]" I'm over here anybody and you guys aren't going to believe me but I do want to explain on what we originally had this laid out. You guys practice table any points. Right behind our table or in a corner of the French red not -- through it literally in a corner he said it was to be a bar right idea. And that's why you guys were on the corners are you at a -- But then they wouldn't let employed. One bar over there and they aren't as they wanted to add up yet to buy it in the I'd of the Rahman on opposite corners. Gary north I'm up I have to. About it and it was rough with the on washed -- we were we were there -- in the corner like it was like Titanic thought about the none of courage -- that was. But as a table yourself he didn't have other. No I didn't know I was ability state you know is -- Indian I would I live in Tom and -- were to be the seventh and that's able in time to be very glad to know. Dad -- IndyCar. You meal."

Play from 8:02[8:02]" not hitting the I -- and I wish I would like protest it would play into it and I was the food or tiger. Well it was there was there was three choice you had for meal right on the edge at the mall I checked them they were confused they'd you know with the I asked for and they wouldn't give it except. -- Glad that I had a chicken. Oh is I think it up for -- being the quarterback walking right right in front of the Vijay when he was doing in the -- You let you know it did the you know who introduced the wedding party. In in all you know like you know introduce -- it was our -- To -- witness who does you know of W and pride now wait. Was yeah -- spent a lot of late Dale Arnold so tejada but it'll -- minute you weren't there there right now. I just wonder how. How communicative. Is Garrett as -- out -- and it -- pretty much well that week BB went over the last likely that you another reason but Tom that's been the reason. More more impassively -- and Eric being -- wasn't -- You just -- it's -- now that okay -- even though that -- podcast with us every single week for how long now and you know obviously worked very closely with Gary. You would think well you know someone at a missed the cut right away when you look at -- a little bit more in depth. There was another ex Patriot cheerleaders who was invited. Named -- and who's now Celtic one of the Celtics -- I see her she wasn't there because he was now it was. Anyway so Lori couldn't even top the list of ex Patriot cheerleaders she's going to be crushed a crushing you -- ego I mean she's already like does our radio for anyway because -- no longer -- greater now she can't even invited to a wedding. From from with a guy who she works closely with. Every single week. Well let me get out of Barrett I gave -- certain amount of money in his novel -- the president but I told them take that you don't invite me did you it'd -- you just take it out of your -- he did for me yeah whenever I had in my wallet a hundred. -- forty dollars. I thought it was a 111 but who gives a 140 you don't I had I don't think that's what else -- I open it up by 'cause they said. Now more people -- you tell -- irrelevant. In this age of twenties of people just give 150 and I that. I guarantee that -- of bred animals all he can now put in the car that's the only trip that I'd like yeah so like they had like that the colder than it. Yes absolutely right on man at. I had to get out form couldn't even division I appreciate told it was villages funny I do exactly what you had done yeah. So what you are -- not working again. Webb again get the emails and that's why total log in every week he's going again and I get out. Why it's as unavailable and it just comes up with a personal well."

Play from 11:25[11:25]" Again I mean outlook hasn't gone down the Dan speaking of guys who stopped from the wedding day and the many -- didn't know any -- and I was invited 300 people he couldn't get a seat belt a."

Play from 11:41[11:41]" His wife popular because I know 300 people could give a damn about -- You know almost all oh and yes. It was going to and Hibbert has evidently -- and to plug on -- I would appreciate emails that left talking while trying to resolve the league guys all had a good time. It was a good -- in the complainant nobody got drunk or anything like your wedding. You know god I was I was warned that he's bad actually that I don't want to repeat it's on eight I every -- whole different attitude through. On and I was struck. And you know maybe it behavior though -- I eating you know two gators and three piece of cake. How do you get the third wife's that they had to take on a table again. And he went back for third yes that is accurate and how big was actually for 300 something in. Before -- right. Were are going to do that -- into the whole cake cutting now that I -- do any of those I didn't really doing the -- I think it was all right all the married couples get out but the again lord and you know everybody down and -- married less than a year earlier went up to 58 years eight years. And I I -- that it -- execute I wish we had done the cutting the cake is the worst thing that's the worst traditionally got a at a did you cut slow everything down the lady finally came up to because I kept pushing off the wedding and -- half an hour we gotta cut the week. I used to want to do it to stupid. I think all the traditions of marriage to beat them when I totally agree I don't like -- you know. Everything every marriage should be different. You don't that the -- yeah every every every wedding -- should be different I should be your -- you should put -- over the tell you war and why we didn't do any you know if you want -- watch a baseball game that's what it. You want to have a softball game up well I agree for a fact I don't couple. Their wedding they had a softball. And the pride. Team with her family was one team in the rules of the team whoever that the true whoever won the game the other person had to take their name. And she won and he took -- That was the deal. That was great great I got for him you should be shut out -- overtaken her name book for loser in the -- yeah. It when you got that much on the line you gotta bring the Raiders and I web radio on my time on the email address that maybe the Yankees get it here a lot in Gary that maybe I can get. The mean here because picnic over the -- Our our we've been having trouble here -- certainly now it's an issue that is affected tread -- I suggest that it was an issue before without affecting me. We've had every as we get hit by lightning all this stuff. I know is they seem to have identified the problem by Aaron able to fix it -- and I tried every time -- I'm going to mean I thought I could get it on for like three days straight at home yet from my email like the Olympic fighter me when can I. But he's going to Canada no time you're gonna get a press release about prepared and this morning -- Oakland. What any Patriot news -- that we have got."

Play from 15:11[15:11]" We have filed over the weekend I don't know if there wasn't really any. And the Patriots news over the weekend maybe Rosevelt Colvin signed with the exact extent that. I was close is -- yeah that's about as close again -- terrorist actions we did late last week you know minor memos that -- undrafted free agent that got released. -- be happy you know that Tyson quote Dave Thomas making it look easy -- was cut. That -- But that was about it I don't think it really -- Patriot news over the weekend do you Rembrandt."

Play from 15:45[15:45]" Nothing now I mean that got some guys that went out of back that was here yesterday I had out small contingent from China. That we had to meet with. That's why we -- of the iceberg when I wonder what was going on that and I actually brought him down into the locker room into the -- area. And Ben Watson was there that we we saw him couple of the players but. Not a lot of people around -- quiet I'm very I was."

Play from 16:11[16:11]" I was around the stadium a little bit on Friday and there was some players working out on the field on. Mall grameen like maybe two with three guys and to be honest with you I don't even know if they were current Patriot and for all another could have been. The guys the Patriots had -- for -- on my dad and even now but. Very few people around the stadium on in the past city I don't know. Well I golf tournament by wee 27 days a week you have some breaking news break is provided by Chris Ferreira. Matthew later fifth round pick was signed. This week. I probably I would probably should have we probably should of mentioned that that I'm glad that Chris I don't know evidently the release came out of Chris his right to a Atlanta Sonoma that. That it seems like the first first of the draft pick in the folder Fowler Matthew Slater added on the same thing out. Exactly do you want you -- needed to Choi is. How much any that they wanted to -- Our web radio pitches that -- the emails back up though if you want to email in. That is okay in the phone numbers five away 5437482 so Tom while you're away what did you do to keep busy. Just what Stevie."

Play from 17:27[17:27]" Yeah kind I tell all like normally I like that around and do nothing but that's what I have a choice when you have to do it it's kind of boring. It's practice and it's enough but when you don't want. Nothing on TV in the state -- about -- got -- you know those movie channels that we pay for when you don't ever mama you know the Latin channel. -- even -- after awhile how many times you do it in right I your network is garbage the NFL network don't pay for. -- a freak -- money. I mean how many Hendry can shall we NFL folly stands are still there but in all seriousness. How bad -- program would be if I mean -- isn't just the target audience. I went something like NFL network Tom is basically your network. And in he's in he's telling you that well."

Play from 18:19[18:19]" They have to figure out that everything they've you know 78 show was a good young you know so that that's a good show but other than that. When it's not draft time we're not training camp timer com buying time. It's tough for them to come up with -- they've got to work cardinal they have all the NFL films -- union stance we'll do. Why don't they ever -- when he I that they do not. Dunham but to me -- I met top ten linebacker unit of all time 127 wood but it that it means they'll get boring though I know."

Play from 18:53[18:53]" I don't. All I -- he was. NFL follies NFL folly in Iraq would who would voice over guy who's making jokes that are all Nicole yeah. Like -- he's done well this is a decent idea I think on Sundays are going through the entire season of last year. In him like -- week and the -- the four best games are on every Sunday to keep you ready for football season. -- golf like that like it I'd ready to show me like old games."

Play from 19:22[19:22]" are doing some of that you know they they can show like games and stuff but I think they need to. But it cost money but they need to come out with a original content they need to. You know all the problem ESP NBA and before they were years idea right absolutely right right absolutely right you know it and it but the problem is. Whereas ESP and could branch out and find balance. And -- the NFL that's all I got the NFL."

Play from 19:48[19:48]" Films did did a great series a while back where they would do I think Nicole at them NFL's greatest games were there -- take like. An old scale like like Super Bowl three or at yeah Raiders Colts game and there was show you every play of that game. As if -- were you know went with the commentators from back then and then after like every quarter they have like some of the players come and talk about backing him and what it meant --"

Play from 20:11[20:11]" Put some of those on by. Again in so you can come up with them fresh stuff I was I -- goes -- great and Tom always talks about the the -- is going to Dallas games in the early ninety's they although quite frequently and that stations -- an NFL network pay. I think they do a good job of that but I think at some point Toms right it it came probably at the end and at some point you need to find something that's going to keep your view is coming back. And reruns no matter how well done I'm going to do it and that's one of my view always you guys know how but how could that shows what is the one that -- like a total access axis of seven I don't have a problem. With the station because generally whenever I'm watching it I always get the feeling and it's not the first time whenever I'm watching has been on --"

Play from 20:58[20:58]" I feel like a replay of what they do replay that throughout the night yet the rich I didn't even always on from us senate -- is when it -- the first time. All John and LA's on the phone John I don't."

Play from 21:09[21:09]" They get -- John on the did this year that magic I have to say this is afraid they never thought I'd utter I actually -- you -- my wedding. I buried a week I guess or Jerry except that I got it got -- and try yeah it is. I was so there aren't quite well when I guess as law. Mostly wear you out there's not that -- in the -- got a -- into that situation well I'm glad you're back."

Play from 21:43[21:43]" Thanks coach and Chicago Jerry did you block from your wedding -- or did you talk -- your wedding. -- what what job what you think about my idea that every wedding would be an individual event it shouldn't you shouldn't have the."

Play from 21:59[21:59]" Things like complete I completely agree that you are my dad is retired episcopal priest and he married -- and what you look better ceremony was. How we get it really unique to what it readings in the song right. Well I'm still sort of and that is framework of service but I think yeah yeah yeah -- to Europe. Well congratulations Deion absolutely -- I actually -- Yeah I helped started Italian bread -- you Italians are not really an Italian I don't but that thing in. Whatever it was -- godfather to -- It's -- over there weren't getting envelopes ya I thought that was like a sort of -- It's not only you can Quebec or you know. I area anyway."

Play from 22:52[22:52]" Such as she can you score a good one get you get it and good nice fat envelopes."

Play from 22:57[22:57]" I know I'd make that envelope that good -- hit my air mail it on my side like got other. The most."

Play from 23:06[23:06]" Let me let me explain -- idea that not necessarily a mafia thing but if I could go to Timberwolves -- thousands of dollars and there it's a mafia thing you better -- he'd be related to --"

Play from 23:18[23:18]" checked that out and that is trying to get there that is him. I write both -- not any Patriots stuff you want to talk about each column let's say hey. Well you know I also want to -- they've -- more ago or -- since the last -- you guys would think Celtics and I -- that he wasn't going to be good to do to I think even with losing starter Daniel I think it's. Tickets are quite a jump the offense took us here but I think it's simple."

Play from 23:48[23:48]" I think it's gonna be solid I agree while they certainly -- and more than they've lost. And I think we can all agree with I think Daniel is a big loss I think he's a good player I'm not going to be you know all the Fred perished tighten trash guys they've gone. But I think they've brought it more than -- and I think you know but with with male and Crable and Wheatley out of the draft picks I think those guys will help. I think with Bryant in you know who knows maybe Tank Williams Ortiz -- all the other. Veterans I think enough of those veteran defensive backs. Will stay contribute some of them probably look at cut. But I'm of the bull will be contributors I think they've brought in mortality and loss now you know the obviously the wild -- there is -- in and Bruschi are a year older. You know in in there on the down I didn't hear one -- I think -- are expected become. You know something like will we remember from from 1 as a holdout or all five -- what -- kinda was hurt and ineffective in 6 in -- but. I agree which I think is a nice mix on paper of youth. Of veterans of the you know guys that know the position I think it's a good -- With a very strong front line and wore it have a good year and I I don't think you could see a lot of the you know blown plays I think teams will move the ball the pitcher's going to be that Chicago but I think the red -- will be that improved. You know on the night."

Play from 25:21[25:21]" Three Bulls need to because you mentioned the other guys get older. Vrabel didn't and 82 were sometimes guys fall off the man you know what I mean like do you -- guy you ain't. He's not a guy remember mama and that's going to happen. But I'm just say in Vrabel are up there a
