34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Thank you both glad to be here, very much for

35
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: being here. Absolutely the Brett obviously hasn't been on this

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: show before. So I always like to say that the

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the great joy for me in doing this is to

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: bring the players to life. Its three dimensional humans. Sometimes

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Chris only wants to show us two dimensions, but we

40
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: worked to dig another one out of there, and and

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: so that you all get to know them as as people,

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: because that's really the fun of the whole thing. Thank

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: you for joining us wherever you are on the Dallas

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys Radio Network or uh streaming on Dallas Cowboys dot com.

45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: That's what these little boxes are. And so you guys, smile,

46
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: look into the little black box and smile and wave

47
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: and there you go. There's Brett smiling and waving, and

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: there's Chris smiling and almost it was a smirking wave.

49
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: It truly was so h So again, thank you both

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: for being here. So Brett, let's get right to this.

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: This is our policy when the game does not go

52
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the way we want. And sometimes the game doesn't go

53
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: the way we want, uh, so we address it and

54
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: move on instead of basking in it and rolling in

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: that good. So my guess is that there have probably

56
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: been other kicks in your life that you would like

57
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: to have hit better, But you didn't do very much

58
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: wrong with that one, did you A little? A little pool? Um? Yeah,

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's such a fine line. Um,

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: And especially especially with my job, it's all pass fail

61
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: And um that I've been in a great spot where

62
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Chris LP have put me in a lot of a

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: lot of good situations throughout the year where you know,

64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: really the only thing I've had to do is is

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: do my normal thing, and we've had had pretty good

66
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: luck so far this year. So that one I felt

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: like I could have hit a little bit cleaner. But

68
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: like you said, I'm ready for the next opportunity. Yeah,

69
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: how long does it take you to get over a

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: kick that you would like to have back? That one

71
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: was a little different because it ended the game. Um,

72
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: So that one, I think I probably beat myself up

73
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: a little more than normal. But I mean usually it's

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: maybe go to the sidelines, say a couple of swear

75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: words and and move on. You do you say a

76
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: couple of swear words only if Chris is the only

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: one I can hear it. Yeah, he can be my

78
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: punching bag on the sidelines, all right. And then I

79
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: got one question for Chris. Then I want Taylor to

80
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: take over for a minute. But because this is the

81
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it's I think I don't promise, but I

82
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: think it's the only question we'll have about the ridiculous, awful,

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: stupid call that I mean, it's just call it the

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: same way? Will you please call it the same way?

85
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: For eighteen hundred snaps? How many snap infractions have you

86
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: seen before? That? That would be none? Wow, that would

87
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: be none? Here now you're you. I'm not even gonna

88
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: ask Brett about that because he wasn't looking at the snapp.

89
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: He wasn't. He was looking at the spot, which is

90
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: the hole is going to be perfect. But what you know,

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: what the ball comes out like, and what happens up

92
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: there in front of you you're looking at it. What

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: did you think when you saw the call and heard

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: the call. I'm not asking you to criticize the call.

95
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm asking it to just what did you think when

96
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: you heard what it was? Honestly, whenever it happened, I

97
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: was still looking at Brett. He's still doing his steps,

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: so I was waiting for the nod, and then I

99
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: heard a whistle. So initially I thought, okay, time out

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: there icing or whatever, and I turned around to see

101
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: a flag and side judge run in. But like you said,

102
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: all your examples or descriptions of it just bogus. But uh, yeah,

103
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean his his mechanics for that are are solid.

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's done it the same way that I

105
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: know of the past eight years for sure, and I'm

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: sure the past fourteen. But uh, it's right hand, left hand,

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: and he snaps, there's nothing quirky, herky jerky, wouldn't I mean,

108
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: nothing as smooth as can be. So yeah, just garbage.

109
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Did you hear him saying in French that you'd never

110
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: heard him sing before? I didn't hear any French for

111
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: it's no pardon my French literally literally, Yeah, Brent. I

112
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: liked that you brought up beating myself up because that's

113
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: what I mean to be fair. In your post game

114
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: locker room speech, you really took the blame for everything.

115
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: And and I say that because that was so many

116
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: people were saying what leadership that was, but it was genuine.

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Why did you feel that way, To be honest with you,

118
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: that was my assessment of the situation. Um, I felt

119
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: like the operation was clean. And when the operations clean

120
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: and the ball gets down where I think it's going

121
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: to be with the lean that I think it's going

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: to be at, then the rest of it's on me.

123
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: And that's where I thought that one was you guys

124
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: are such a tight knit group, you LP, Chris Brett.

125
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is is that LP probably

126
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: felt that too, just as much as you did. How

127
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: did you guys kind of console each other? Do you

128
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: console each other or you just move on? I feel

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: like you tried to. I mean, it's within our play,

130
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: if you will. I mean, it's it's still a team,

131
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: a team thing. I mean there's still moving parts that

132
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: everybody has a role, whether you're blocking, holding the ball,

133
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: kicking the ball, snap and whatever. So I mean it's

134
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: everybody's got a piece of it, if if that makes sense. Yeah,

135
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: And I think to that too. I mean, I don't

136
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: know that there was a whole lot to say. I mean,

137
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I know LP felt bad. I talked to him about that.

138
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: He knows I felt bad. We talked to him about that.

139
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: You know, I felt like Chris was kind of the

140
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: middleman for both of us, which was literally yeah, exactly yeah,

141
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: which was which was healthy for us too. And then

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I felt like we kind of got

143
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: out what we needed to get out. And you know

144
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: that the sun came up the next day and and

145
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: here we are shining right in your eyes. Right now,

146
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: and and and the last thing I think about that.

147
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: And when we take questions from our audience here at

148
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: the Omni Firstco they can be about other things. But Chris,

149
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: you're you're you're one of the captains now, and so

150
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: it is I'm guessing the captain's job to keep everyone focused,

151
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: make sure that the next two days are productive, to

152
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: buy is productive, and everybody realizes what's what there is

153
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: to play for going forward. But as a leadership group,

154
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: what do you do at this point in the season

155
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: when you have to make sure that things stay positive? Well,

156
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we just have to look at

157
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: it for what it is. I mean, it's it's all

158
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: out one of us. I mean, it's it's wide open

159
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: as far as our division goes. I mean, that's everything

160
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: staring us in the face. We just got to stay

161
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: together and move forward. Okay, good to tough. Okay. Now

162
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: I have to hear your guys's take on this, because

163
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: we've been hearing different tweets. I know you guys aren't

164
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: very social media or into social media. Chris, you'll be

165
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: the first one to say that very little. But yesterday

166
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: when the news broke about the Amari Cooper trade. You

167
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: guys were still on the plane, How did you guys

168
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: personally hear about it? I got like a little probably

169
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: thirty second window on the flight of service, and I

170
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: had a bunch of texts come through and it was

171
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: a screenshot of the ESPN, you know, the breaking headline

172
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. And then I get we landed and it

173
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: was everywhere in the plane from there. So, yeah, I

174
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: was sitting next to Chris, So you're looking at through

175
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: teammates right there. Yeah. No, And I guess you know

176
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of unique because as specialist special teams, now

177
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: he's going to be on offense. Are you guys excited

178
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: to add that new piece or how do you feel

179
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: about it? Just ready to keep going? Yeah, I mean

180
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: ready to keep going. See, uh, you know what he

181
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: what he can bring to the team and what he

182
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: can you know, do to help us move forward and

183
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: win games. Yeah. So we know, I'm changing the subject

184
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: completely now because I'm done with all that. We're done

185
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: with the game. We're done with that. So we know

186
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: that Brett throughout his career has also been a punter

187
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: from time to time, So heaven forfend if anything were

188
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: to happen to Chris Jones if he were to get

189
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: a migraine or something happened, I can't punt now whatever, Yeah,

190
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: at whatever it is. Because putters we know that they're

191
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: they have to everything has to be perfect, and so

192
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: something goes wrong, then we know that Brett is ready

193
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: to step in and punt, which leads to the question

194
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: of why are you not ready to step in and

195
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: kick if something happens to the kicker. I know you

196
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: were asked about this good question. It is a good question.

197
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: I still don't have a good answer, nor have you

198
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: made one up that's any better. No, I just I

199
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: can't do it. I would be better at snapping than kicking. LP.

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: Actually up that way, you could snap an lpeek a

201
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: kick he can hold, I can hold can you? There

202
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: we go? But but not for yourself. No. Yeah, what

203
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: did you think of jeff He's emergency kicks last season?

204
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Were you impressed? Oh? I knew he had that in him. Yeah,

205
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: but I was impressed. I didn't know he had that

206
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: in him, I guess. But you had him practice the

207
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: touchbacks on kickoffs is what I think got me the most.

208
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: I knew he could hit field goals, but I've never

209
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: seen him kick off and then he had I think

210
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: a touchback or two in the game that was impressive. Well,

211
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: where we need to take a break, and when we

212
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to find out why Chris Jones

213
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: insist on being such a diva that he will not

214
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: be able to play more than one position. But yes,

215
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: but we do really want everybody to also get a

216

236
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Brad Shamon, Taylor Stern at the Omni Frisco. Our special

237
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: guest Cowboys Kicker Bret Baher and hunter Chris Jones. And

238
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: one of the things that you can't see on the

239
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: radio is when one of the player's wives comes up

240
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: and whispers a possible question to Taylor and walks away.

241
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: And then that player sees his wife talking to Taylor,

242
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: and he gives her a look that says, why are

243
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: you talking to her right now? What has happened? And

244
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: since Brett's wife, is your family still Nebraska? Y? Okay,

245
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: We're getting to that shortly. But I just am enjoying

246
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: because of a how many years is this? Chris? Seven years? Eight?

247
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Eight years? You wiley old veteran. I don't believe I

248
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: have ever from the day he walked on campus seeing

249
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Chris Jones look rattled or you know, anything other than

250
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: completely placid, under control, like the top half of the duck.

251
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, the bottom half of the duck is going

252
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: like crazy under the water. We don't see that he's

253
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: the top half of the duck all the time. And

254
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: this look that he just gave his wife and she

255
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: was whispering something to Taylor. That was the best reaction

256
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: from Chris Jones I think I've ever seen. I don't

257
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: like what's happening here? Why is something happening here? Up

258
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: to something? Was that kind of the thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. So,

259
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: as we were saying, just before we took the break,

260
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: we were urging people to visit the brand news story

261
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: here at the Star to experience the tradition that is

262
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Luke Casey Bootmaker, which speaking of which you know. We

263
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: come here a little bit early to the omni and

264
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: neighborhood services of a checking out happy hour on Dallas

265
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com, and I saw Chris and his wife

266
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: and I thought they were walking past, but they showed

267
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: up early because Chris was getting a new pair of

268
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: Luke Casey boots. Luke Casey boots, and I got a

269
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: chance to look at them. They're very fresh, and he

270
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: told me that he has about six or seven pairs

271
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: of them, So I feel like we should really make

272
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: this a connection. When the store bought the boots put

273
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: him on walk out with him, well, I don't. I

274
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: think there's some I got him in the bag. But

275
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: if he puts his foot right here, you will see

276
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: that these are genuine Luke Casey boots. Be careful because

277
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: if you do something to your hamstring, then he's got

278
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: double duty. That's my right leg. I'm good, Yeah, you

279
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: got you gotta push off and stand on it. You're

280
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: not a damn flammation. Can you squat down and hold it?

281
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: That's the question. That's what I'm That's what I'm all.

282
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: That's all you care about, right, But do you do?

283
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: You see this perfect partnership just before our eyes? The

284
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: best feed in the league rock and I'm here for it.

285
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Can they hear this? I will send it to that

286
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: over there, Alyssa. They're double plug. Oh they're gonna. We're

287
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna it's about a four plug by the time. We're

288
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: the best feed in the league. Why did someone on

289
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: the vaunted marketing staff not think of that. We'll get

290
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: it taken care of. I see three of them on

291
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: their phones right now sending texts and try to try

292
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: to build on that. I think one thing that people

293
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: are interested in is and Chris and I were talking

294
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: about this very briefly before we went on the air,

295
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: but as Taylor said, you three guys spend all your

296
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: time together, especially once the season starts. There might be

297
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: more of you in training camp, but not many. But

298
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: it's it's basically, yeah, it's a total squad. And so,

299
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: uh what what it looks like from the outside is

300
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: that you have just all blended bread. It looks like

301
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: you just walked in and got two new brothers and

302
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: and here we go. So, um, why is that funny

303
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: brother a brother and a dad? Maybe? Oh that is

304
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: just so wrong, right, Yeah, longest tenured cowboy guys right currently. Yeah.

305
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: I told he's got to play two more years and

306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: then he will be the longest tenured cowboy ever. And

307
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: he's just going to be like, yeah, that one's for you, Brad. Yeah,

308
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: that's right. That in that entire paycheck that will be

309
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: taken home. But nonetheless, uh so Chris, what was it

310
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: had been the three of you for seven years? What

311
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: was it like having now Brett had been in camp before,

312
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: you weren't strangers and you obviously was in camp all

313
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: but what from your standpoint, and then please Brett from yours?

314
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: What was it like coming into such a tight knit

315
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: little group and having to make that adjustment. I mean,

316
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: for me, it's I don't know. We I had to

317
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: work with, you know, with two different operations basically all camps.

318
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like I was just kind of thrown

319
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: in the mix of Hey, this is how it is.

320
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: So I mean there was there was already that connection

321
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: of working together and whatnot. But uh, I mean, he's

322
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: just he's just a he's a pro, he's a guy.

323
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he came in and it fit and it's

324
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: just it's like we didn't skip a beat. It's just

325
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: we kind of learned. We're still obviously learning little things

326
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: here and there about each other as we go and

327
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: kind of what we like and don't like and how

328
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: to kind of move from there. But it's been it's

329
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: been smooth, Like like, what are you learning that we

330
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: need to know about family? No, none of that, None

331
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: of that guy's coming. What I just asked a question. No,

332
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: it's just uh, you know, kind of how he ticks,

333
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, on the field, that kind of stuff. What

334
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: what he likes in a hold, you know what he

335
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: doesn't like, you know. I mean there's there's a good

336
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: communication between both of us. So it's just we're constantly

337
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: learning about each other and making us better. All right,

338
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: you'd been here thirteen was when you were in camp,

339
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: so both Chris and LP were here when you were

340
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: in camp before, but this was a little different, especially

341
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: once the once the final squad was established. So what

342
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: what what's the transition been like for you? It's been

343
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: awesome for me. These two guys are really easy for

344
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: me to work with, really open to two different ideas

345
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And it's been nice too because

346
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of work together since April since

347
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: I've been here. Um, so that that made the transition

348
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: once the season started, I think even a little bit easier.

349
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: But um, just in terms of having two guys that

350
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: I got to walk in too, and you know, start

351
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: start my season and my career down here with I

352
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: couldn't think of two two better people one and the

353
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: two better professionals um as well that I could to

354
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: spend time with every day. How did you keep your

355
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: confidence going throughout training camp? You know, obviously you're you're

356
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: not only the kicker during training camp, but you're the

357
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: punter and you have to keep going improving yourself. How

358
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: did you keep that mental confidence going? Uh? To be

359
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: honest with you, I felt like I just kind of

360
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: stayed my own little bubble all training camp, um, especially

361
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: on the field and then my prep work. Um, just

362
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: try to be prepared for whatever they whatever they asked

363
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: me to do, um, and and take advantage of every situation. UM.

364
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: In my mind, UM, I knew that kicking was my

365
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: route to get in down here, whether that was here

366
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: or somewhere else. So um, because Chris Jones is such

367
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: a giant and the IMA more more of just my

368
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: strength than anything else. Yeah yeah, but but yes, obviously

369
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: because Chris was here as well. UM, So you know

370
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: that that's kind of where I spent a little bit

371
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: more of my time, and it was kind of punting

372
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: was kind of a means for me to get scene

373
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: kicking field goals through training camp. So some people know

374
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: Chris's story, but every now and then I think it's

375
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: it's nice to kind of refreshing a little bit since

376
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: we're especially since we're about to do the Brett Maher biography.

377
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: And I don't want Chris to feel left out because

378
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Hells sulk on you just a little every now and then.

379
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: You have to kind of watch that. You have to

380
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: make sure that he's he's feeling in a good Uh

381
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: eight man football? Is that right? Did you play eight

382
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: man football? Seven man football? You played? Well, you came

383
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: from Carson Newman. No, but it was in Georgia. You played?

384
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: How you did? You didn't? You played eleven men? Yeah,

385
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: Carson Newman, though you played small high school football. We've

386
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: done this game before. Dave Hellman and I of Dallas

387
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys aren't home where. We'll kind of guess where everyone

388
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: went to college. And you know, for the most part,

389
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: you can say, like, okay, University of Notre Dame, Michigan

390
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: now Alabama. But Carson Newman seems to stuff just about everybody.

391
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Do you know where it is Tennessee? Where in Tennessee?

392
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: I wrote it, Carson Newman, Jefferson City, Jefferson City, Tennessee. Guys,

393
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: go visit. It's a great school. I'm sure Chris will

394
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: tell you about it. I am going to remember some

395
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: of the things that Chris and I have talked about

396
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: over the years. You were a quarterback at one time, yes,

397
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: option quarterback, yes, and we see this in the great

398
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: natural athlete that you are when they allow you to

399
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: carry the ball things. Yeah, And so why did you

400
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: pursue that instead of punting. I never wanted to do

401
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: anything other than punt. When I was gee's probably five

402
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: or six years old, I said I want to punt

403
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL when you were five or six, because

404
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: every five, every five or six year old say I

405
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: want to punt. When I was that age, these little

406
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: guys out here running around, I mean I was that

407
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I was that size, and I thought it was the

408
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: coolest thing that I knew how to kick a spiral

409
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: who taught you? My dad he had he had the

410
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: knowledge of the basics and said do this this, point

411
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: your toe and I'd I'd kick in front of the

412
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: front yard probably two or three hours. I felt like

413
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: they'd probably had to drag me inside. But I thought

414
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: it was the coolest thing ever. And as I played,

415
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, linebacker, safety, quarterback, running back, whatever, it was

416
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: all throughout I punted every year, and then I got

417
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: to the end of high school and punting was all

418
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: I'd cared about. Now you're a left footed kicker and

419
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: right handed thrower. How does that work? I don't know.

420
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: I only notice that in three game warm ups, because

421
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: you know, like Zach Martin and Travis Rerederick will be

422
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: throwing to each other and you'll be throwing around too,

423
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, right handed? What is this?

424
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: That's just the beginning of it. Oh, what a teaser.

425
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: Watch the middle of it. Just name some different things activities,

426
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: your teeth left, eat your food left, right left. That

427
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: sounded like a company routie right there, right left, m

428
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't know other things that are What else do

429
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: you careful? Bread? What else do you do right handed

430
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: besides throw? What's the matter with you people? What is

431
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: wrong with you people? What else do you do right

432
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: handed besides throw? Bat? Bat right handed? Golf right handed?

433
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: Shoot a bow right handed? I shoot a gun left handed.

434
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. Basketball is right handed?

435
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Just the beginning of it. Wow, and you right? They

436
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: both work? Yeah? Clearly? Okay, okay, uh all right, Brett.

437
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's get a little of your backstory. You grew

438
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: up in Nebraska. Is ye born and raised Nebraska. Moved

439
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: around a lot when I was a kid. My dad

00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: is in uh education, been in education my whole life,

441
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: so we kind of bounced around as he kind of

442
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: moved up the chain of command in the school system.

443
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: UM graduated from Carney High School, which is about thirty

444
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: thousand people. UM went to college at the University of

489
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: When you when you get to be my age, you

490
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: learn to try to limit any expectations of any kind.

491
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: You just have hopes, but you just limit expectations. Life's

492
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: a lot easier if you don't do that. Thumbs up

493
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: from a guy in the audience, just thank you, sir,

494
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. There's a man who knows what

495
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Up Yeah, I just in case you know,

496
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: forewarned is forearmed? But yes, the two, one, four, they're

497
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: all they're all gonna be here. Um, so we we

498
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: had you into the University of Nebraska, right, yep? Did

499
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: you have? Did you apply anywhere else? Or were you

500
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: a corn Husker born and Brett? I was kind of

501
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: a corn Husk born. Bread had a couple couple offers

502
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: Colorado State and University of Ohio. I ended up walking

503
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: on at Nebraska, though. Was that because they offered the

504
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: chance for you to do track and field? Two? M No,

505
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: not really. Track was honestly something that I did after

506
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: the fall season because I thought it'd be fun. And

507
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: both my sisters were on the track team there as well.

508
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: My younger one wasn't at the time, but my older

509
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: one was, So I don't really I thought I could

510
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: do both and that was not a very good choice. Now, Lincoln,

511
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: Nebraska on game day is the third largest city in Nebraska,

512
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: and that's just because of the fact that they packed

513
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: so many people into Memorial Stadium. I got a chance

514
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: to go there one time of the College World Series. Wait,

515
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: there's something bigger than Omaha, and what else besides Lincoln? Omaha?

516
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: Lincoln and then the stadium stadium. I apologize to the

517
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: great people of Nebraska. The stadium itself is the third

518
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: largest city in Nebraska on game day. Thank you, brad Well. Yes,

519
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: so how do you serve? Does that prepare you for

520
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: NFL kicking because there are so many people watching you

521
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: making sure that, yeah, you get the job done. I

522
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: think pressure. I think there are similarities to it, just

523
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: because of the stages that you're put on. But at

524
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: the same time, it's different kicking at the college level

525
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: than when you're kicking for a paycheck for your family,

526
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: for for stuff like that. Um as well, So, UM,

527
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I think there are similarities in the scales, but you know,

528
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: I think perspective is a lot of it as well.

529
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: All right, get us to the Canadian League, tell us

530
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: about it. Okay. So to thirteen was my first year out.

531
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: I signed with the Jets right out of college, got

532
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: cut with them the day before we were supposed to

533
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: leave for training camp, waited for a couple of weeks,

534
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: came here, was here for like three weeks, sat out

535
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: waiting for an opportunity that whole year, went up to

536
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Canada then twenty and fourteen. So you didn't play football

537
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: in thirteen. Didn't play football in thirteen. Stop for a second.

538
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: You got cut by the Jets after minicamp. I got

539
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: cut by the Yeah, actually after the break, like right, yeah, yeah,

540
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: but before and then you did not play in thirteen yep.

541
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: So there might be some people who would say, well,

542
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: I guess that's not what I'm supposed to do. Why

543
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: did you Why were you able to be more positive

544
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: than that? Uh? You know, I think a couple of reasons.

545
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: One it I wanted to do it, and two I

546
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: never thought that I wasn't good enough. UM, so I

547
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: just kind kept plugging away. Okay, all right? So now

548
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen, I went to training camp UH in Canada

549
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: in Winnipeg. Got cut after training camp there they went

550
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: with the Canadian guy UM, and then the day after

551
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: that I signed with a team in Ottawa. Played there

552
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: the whole year and fourteen UM, and then the off

553
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: season between fourteen and fifteen tore my labor and my

554
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: hip w uh so had surgery May of twenty fifteen UM.

555
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: Essentially I played four games that year UM and then

556
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen came back with a different team up in Canada.

557
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: After twenty sixteen, that was Hamilton yep Um twenty sixteen

558
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: tiger catch gear. Could you sport a hat or a nothing?

559
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: He hasn't shared any. Sorry, he doesn't even have any.

560
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: That'd be the first that'd be the first order of business.

561
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: He's a Carson Newman guy. Okay, this is true. We

562
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: can trade, I wondered the Marson Newman t shirt. Carson

563
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: Newman sounds fair to me. I'm sorry, absolutely, I interrupted you.

564
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: We're in Hamilton, Ontario. Twenty sixteen year finishes up. After

565
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen season, I signed with the Browns for

566
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: the off season. Was there for about a month. They

567
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: drafted a guy I got cut. I went back up

568
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: to Canada, played in Ottawa twenty seventeen, then after the

569
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen year, signed here in the off season. And

570
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: here I am. So, if you're keeping track, that's getting

571
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: fired a lot of timeout. Where where were you when

572
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: you kicked your career long fifty eight yard field goal

573
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: in Hamilton? And was it was a game in Hamilton?

574
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: It was? And what were the weather conditions? That was

575
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: actually a pretty nice night there, if I remember right,

576
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: It was like late October was probably cooler, maybe fifties,

577
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: fifties or so, but it wasn't no, no, for that

578
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: time of year, it was pretty nice. Okay, So I'm

579
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: asking all this so everyone in the stands that being

580
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: in a new situation that's just not gonna phase you.

581
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: That's the idea. Yeah. Yeah, what's your face like when

582
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: someone tells you like, sorry, we're just gonna have to

583
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: let you go, Like you're just like okay, thanks. Well,

584
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, at the beginning of my career, it was,

585
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I had a lot more questions. Yeah, you know,

586
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: like it didn't really see it coming, you know. And

587
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: then I don't know if I became numb to it

588
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: or if I was like, oh, well, you know, I'm

589
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: good enough somewhere, it's just not here, you know. So um, yeah,

590
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: it's always it's always a weird conversation, always awkward from

591
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: but from Canada to America's team. Uh, why is it

592
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: Chris has only been invited to not participate once? I believe?

593
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Seattle, we're in Seattle's camp. Before

594
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: you came here, I was here. You know, where were

595
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: you first here? This was your first camp and then

596
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: you got and then you came back. I was here,

597
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Oh here, it was here you were invited not to

598
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: participate exactly Yeah, okay, yeah, that's right, saying you guys

599
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: have gone through very similar experiences. Yeah, but this is

600
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: interesting to me. Um, you say it's always awkward. Does

601
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: it seem more awkward for them or for you? I

602
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: don't know. I've never been on the other end of it.

603
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: I've never fired any yet. Can you tell when they

604
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: call and say come in? Oh you know? Yeah? Absolutely.

605
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's a day like you just cut down days. Um, No,

606
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: I've never cried. I don't think after did you ever

607
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: want to go in and just throw your playbook down

608
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: and say I quit? I wouldn't work for you, didn't

609
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: fire me. I'm not crying. You're crying. It's right, Yeah,

610
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: exactly right, that's right. Okay, So, um, I mentioned this earlier,

611
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: but I think one of the things that um is

612
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: different about football than some other sports. Baseball, particularly baseball

613
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: players may live in a city that is year round,

614
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: and then they leave their families for six months, and

615
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: they're accustomed to that. Not many football players do that.

616
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: But your family has stayed in Nebraska since you've been

617
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: playing football, is that right? Last year actually, they were

618
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: up in Canada with me. Okay, Um, that's been the

619
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: only it's been the only year. How old are the kids?

620
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: I got a four year old and one that will

621
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: be two in just ten days. Also, it is my

622
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: wife's birthday today today today, yep. And I know she's

623
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: not listening because she's uh out to dinner. So I'll

624
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: give her a shout out when she streams this. Yet

625
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: when she when she watches it later, had had we known,

626
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: we'd have brought a cake and lit the candles for her,

627
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: that'd have been a great idea. It's her whole birthday week. Um,

628
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: it's your whole birthday week. I was gonna say something

629
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: else that I'm just not gonna say, but something How

630
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: do you adjust to being away from him? Um? It's

631
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of our normal at this point that that doesn't

632
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: mean it's easy. Um. But she she gets so much

633
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: credit for for holding our family together, especially during the season.

634
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she's an elementary school teacher, teaching fourth grade,

635
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: so she she goes to work, deals with kids, comes

636
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: home deals with our kids, and you know, whatever whatever

637
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: they've caused throughout the day, and um still finds time

638
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: to talk to me and fill me in on what

639
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: I need, what I need to know, and um in

640
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff too, So I don't know how

641
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: she does it. I'm I'm glad that we're not in

642
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: reverse roles. I'm not sure i'd be able to survive,

643
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: but um, but but she can. Yeah. Well, I'm glad

644
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: we brought up family and I know we have to

645
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: get to our last break. But before we do, you know,

646
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: we teased what Chris Jones wife Sarah had might have

647
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: said or asked that we bring up if anything, if anything,

648
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: and this one's good because definitely something in twenty sixteen.

649
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: I would credit Shannon Gross and myself for giving you

650
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: the nickname of the Puntisher. Now you know, you may

651
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: might have heard that before, but we created this little

652
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: social media of us. But tonight, oh you like it?

653
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: Stop acting like to say, yeah, okay, tonight, Brad, I

00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: also excited about that. Hopefully, watch the Huskers win again

716

717
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's homecoming because this is a reschedule

718
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: from the week one that got canceled. Good like Scott Frost, though, yeah,

719

Speaker 1: I know, I think there'll be all rights. Just patience

720
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: is it's hard to find and football fans are so patient.

721
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, you guys know the best, that right? Yeah? Yeah,

722
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: what else are you doing in Oklahoma besides hunting? To

723
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: be determined? Whatever whatever she says, she says. Whatever she says,

724
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: she kills the biggest animals. That's true because you know,

725
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: you brought up your daughters and you're you're a father

726
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: of a daughter, but you're you're expecting another baby and

727
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: it's a boy, a boy, a little boy. Yeah. Are

728
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: you excited about this? I am. Do you think he'll

729
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: grow up to want to be a hunter too? I

730
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know. Are you naming MLP? No? Unfortunately, No, it

731
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 1: was worth it was worth asking Steven, what have we got?

732
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: All right? We have Devin here. He has a question

733
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: for both Chris and Brick right here. You go during

734
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: every game, obviously there are players that have things they

735
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: wish they could have done better, are played differently during

736
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: the game. Do you think it's easier to respond to

737
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: it during the game or after the game with all

738
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: the ritigus and what people have to say, like how

739
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: do you reset, recover and reanalyze those situations? It's interesting

740
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: do you want to go first? I think it's easier

741
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: to have the conversations afterwards, um, at least for me anyway,

742
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: then I can have a little more time to process,

743
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, what happened and kind of take a little

744
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: bit of the emotion out of it, especially in the game,

745
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: depending on when it happened. Happens in the game. A

746
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: lot of times you just had to hit the reset

747
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: button and be ready to go, So there's not a

748
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of of thinking or dwelling or anything like that.

749
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: Good or bad. Um, you got to you gotta kind

750
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: of move on from it pretty quick. So I would

751
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: say after because of that good Ri and Chris, Yeah,

752
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of go along with that. Um.

753
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: I try to, you know, deal with just a little

754
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: bit of it during the game, you know, maybe a

755
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: quick critique if you will, and just something to kind

756
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: of push it, push it out of my head, you know, good, bad,

757
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: and different, whatever it is, just hit it real quick.

758
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: All right, it was good, it was bad, It's done.

759
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: There's another one coming up, and move forward. But then,

760
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 1: you know, like Brett said, uh, you know, after the game,
