What's up in a bit of telling me.

0:07.0

It's a big of 40 and this time.

0:10.0

And there ain't nothing you can do about it.

Hey!

0:19.0

What's up everybody? Welcome into Tom Carrey's Patriots Talk podcast, always joined by the

0:26.3

Senator Phil Perry, and this is the aftermath. Patriots somewhat stunningly escape the Houston

0:33.4

Texans. They get out of there with a win and the problems that we forecasted that they might

0:38.2

have the adversity that they might have. Well, they didn't have it where we thought, but they had

0:41.6
