Hey, what's up everybody?

Tom Caron's Patriots Talk podcast.

Happy New Year, everyone.

We've got a special New Year's guest.

He's a special guest anytime he shows up, though.

It's Brian Hoyer, former Patriots quarterback, former Patriots for nine teams around the national football league and a 15 season career.

So he knows what's going on and he cares deeply about your New England Patriots.

How are you, bud?

I'm good, Tom. How are you? Happy New Year.

Thanks, buddy. And first things first, I have so much enjoyed having you as part of our media

contingent this year.

I think you've been excellent.

And it's really cool to get to know somebody on a different plane and develop a friendship

with someone.

Yeah, you kind of got me started on this podcast back in, I don't know, what was that March, April maybe,

but I think we were talking before to draft about should they draft Drake May. So it's been great. I always loved working with you as a player and now as a colleague. We kind of got

into it for the first time the other day on the post game show about the lateral play. I enjoyed

that a little back and forth banter. But no, you've been great all year and helping me along kind of in this new journey.

And I appreciate you.

Way do we get to fighting in a couple months about whether or not they should take a tight end.

Yeah.

All right.
