Go ahead Tom.

Tom, you're muted.

Here we got you.

Here we got you.

Bill, got me?

We got you, Tom.

Sorry, man.

Sorry, Bill.

Billauchick will ever get that 15 seconds of his life back.

We will never get that 15 seconds of our lives back, all because of our next guest, Tom Kern.

And Tom, we were saying during break how the pandemic has basically thrown all standards and expectations of television broadcasting out the window anywhere anyone is you just

pop open the phone you press the button you throw on the great gazoo t-shirt and you're on

tv hello hello shereen hi how are you tom tremendous and you know what mike this. This is how it goes. This is when we and I talk back and forth about a varied and assorted things related to the NFL.

This is how it works. I'm wandering around Bucolic, Freetown, Massachusetts having a conversation with you. So this is much more organic, I think. So is this like early Labor Day vacation for you? Are you working today? Help us

understand exactly what the Tom Curran vibe is. I can't get the stupid angle correct on this

friggin phone. I keep turning it too far. Just hold it steady. It doesn't matter. Just hold it steady

and we'll get through this.

Let's begin, Tom, the main reason we contacted you, not to see your great gazoo t-shirt or watch your image freeze up or have you make us wait 15 seconds before you say something.

We need to know your reaction to the news that Cam Newton is the starting quarterback,

even though they haven't announced it.

They made the guy a captain.

So it's pretty damn clear he's going to be the starting quarterback.
