00:00Back in Nolens at Radio Row and we got Brayden Narbisson here and he's a kicker in the NFL.

00:08He's a free agent right now.

00:09He kicked with the Packers and the Titans this season.

00:14So you did most of it in Green Bay and then just like one game in Smashville, right?

00:19Correct.

00:20Yep.

00:21One game.

00:22Did you like Smashville better than Green Bay in terms of like Nashville's cool, man.

00:26It's like the East Coast Vegas.

00:27No, Nashville's awesome.

00:28I mean, there's a lot to do in Nashville.

00:30I mean, there are a lot of pretty girls there and great music, good food.

00:34I've done NHL play-by-play, so I called games at that Bridgestone Arena and I used to go

00:38in there and I'd hit cigar bars, country bars.

00:42I mean, I thought I was going to end up with like 10 women there at once.

00:46Like my own team, like 10 women I'd have and I'd be the 11th.

00:49I'd have my own NFL team, 10 hot chicks that play country music and Pharrell.

00:54There's a possibility.

00:55You know I'm telling the truth.

00:56You've been there.

00:57There's a lot of people out there.

00:59You played one game and you fell in love.

01:00Yep.

01:01So, let's talk about our shoes.

01:02Now, I've got these New Balance kicks on and you've got to admit, those are fresh.

01:05Those are fresh.

01:06They really are fresh.

01:07They really are.

01:08My daughter got me those for Christmas, but yours are like super ultra fresh.

01:13Those are some serious kicks.

01:15Now, I think that it's probably because you're a kicker that you have the stones to have

01:21the coolest shoes in the entire convention center at Radio Row.

01:26There's 100,000 people in here and you have the coolest shoes I've seen.

01:31Now, I've seen, I went to media night with the Eagles and Chiefs.

01:34I saw a couple of, Jawan Carter, he had, I think that's his name, is that his name, Mafia?

01:41I think it is.

01:42I don't care.

01:43He had cool shoes.

01:44And I had the guy, Davis, the defensive tackle at Eagles, he had cool shoes, but your shoes

01:49are cooler.

01:50What are those?

01:51I appreciate it.

01:52So, when my wife and I, when we bought our house in Green Bay, these were actually a

01:56gift.

01:57So, they've got my pets painted on the side.

01:59A cat and a dog.

02:00What kind of dog is that?

02:01A poodle?

02:02A golden doodle.

02:03A doodle.

02:04And then a border collie and my other cat.

02:05Oh, you got two dogs and two cats?

02:06I do.

02:07I have a 120-pound retriever that is the coolest dog in the world, nicest dog in the world,

02:14but if you F with me, it will bite your arm off.

02:18It like will attack.

02:20Anyone who messes with my family or my house is dead, unless they have like a sawed-off

02:24shotgun.

02:25Hey, it's not a bad thing.

02:26I love the fact that my dog, like if I go out to dinner, I don't even have to set the

02:30alarm.

02:31No, the dog's there.

02:32I live in New York City.

02:33People get robbed at like breakfast, but no one's coming near my, everyone that comes

02:37to my house to deliver something is afraid of my house.

02:40Right.

02:41They just leave it on the step and run, because they hear the dog, and the dog is vicious.

02:44Meanwhile...

02:45Quick picture and gone.

02:46But, you know, you have four animals, so you know they all love you, and they're like kids.

02:49Oh, yeah.

02:50No, they are.

02:51They're the greatest.

02:52The border collie's like that for my wife.

02:53Anybody goes around my wife or wants to mess around, like...

02:56He doesn't even...

02:57Is it a boy or a girl?

02:58The border collie.

02:59A boy.

03:00She loves the dog more than you.

03:02Probably does.

03:03And the dog is in love with her and probably hates you.

03:05He just pretends like he likes you, because you feed him.

03:08You're not wrong.

03:09So did you like...

03:10Because I was on the air in Green Bay.

03:13So my show's on TV and radio.

03:14So when I was on radio...

03:15I've been doing this 41 years.

03:16I could be your dad.

03:18I'm that old.

03:19I'm just cool.

03:20And I look cool, don't I?

03:21But I was on there, and people love me in Green Bay.

03:25Those people there are so nice.

03:26They are.

03:27They're so nice that it's not even cool.

03:30They're so friendly and nice.

03:32They're like...

03:33Come in.

03:34Here's a beer.

03:35Wings.

03:36Dinner, wings, sandwich.

03:37They'll mow your yard if you're out of town.

03:40You're on vacation.

03:41Your neighbor will do it for you.

03:43No one in New York does anything for anybody.

03:45Everyone's a jerk.

03:47But in Green Bay, they're nice.

03:48My wife is...

03:49She's from Wisconsin.

03:50So that was a whole...

03:52Was she sad when you left there?

03:54Oh, yeah.

03:55Absolutely.

03:56She blamed you?

03:57She probably did.

03:58Yeah.

03:59So what are you going to do?

04:00Are you trying to hook back up with them?

04:01I mean, whatever happens, happens.

04:02We'd love to go back, for sure.

04:03So let's go through...

04:04I want to go through the litany of your college days.

04:08You were in Ames.

04:09I was.

04:10That was your main college?

04:11No.

04:12That was...

04:13Well, that was my first college.

04:14My main one, I was at Western Kentucky and...

04:16The Hilltoppers.

04:17Hilltoppers.

04:18And you were in Raleigh?

04:19I was.

04:20I went to Raleigh to call a hockey game, and they went out drinking or something, and I

04:24was like...

04:25I was in the woods, and I was like, this is hell.

04:28This is hell here.

04:29I'm not having fun.

04:31I'll drink alone, like George Thorogood.

04:33I'll drink alone, yeah, with nobody else.

04:37That's what I felt like in Raleigh.

04:38I didn't like Raleigh.

04:39If you liked it, screw you.

04:40But how about you made 92% of your kicks at Western Kentucky, and 78% in your career.

04:47It's been unbelievable.

04:48So, Vardy NFL, you're loving life, right?

04:50And you'll get another gig, easy, right?

04:52Are you having fun at the Super Bowl?

04:54Yeah.

04:55No, I am.

04:56I flew in last night, and I'm super excited to be here on Radio Row.

04:58It's been...

04:59I mean, this place is a zoo.

05:00Listen, I'm glad that you have four animals, and that you have cats and dogs.

05:05Do they get along?

05:06They do.

05:07They do.

05:08I had cats before, and they all bit me.

05:09I don't like cats.

05:10But I'm glad you do.

05:11I grew up...

05:12Brandon, it's good to meet you, brother.

05:13My man.
