Luke Jones 02:15
are you looking forward to the free agency process? I mean, we got to ask you, am I looking forward
Brandon Williams 02:19
to it? I mean, I guess I mean, thatโs whatโs next. So yeah, Iโm looking forward to it.
Nestor Aparicio 02:24
Youโve heard a lot about it. Read up on it.
Luke Jones 02:29
Well, you know, Eric Decosta said last week, itโs a big deal to try to sign you theyโve made it very clear that youโre an A player. And if you didnโt already know, but the assistant GM say that has to make you feel good one, man. And two has to make you think Well, show me the love them. Right. Yeah. That was a hit song. Whereโs the love? Yeah, I prefer it. Show
Nestor Aparicio 02:52

Brandon Williams 02:56
But itโs all good. I mean, when it happens will happen. whether it happens or not mean, itโs not my hands permit to kind of initiate so
Nestor Aparicio 03:05
weโre making you really soon.
Brandon Williams 03:09
I mean, I canโt say none, but I donโt
Nestor Aparicio 03:11
know. I mean, a nice place for you to be Oh, you have the opportunity.
Brandon Williams 03:17
The whole time these four years, just keep my nose to the grindstone doing my job best I can and make it to this point. And Iโm at this point, and weโll see what happens. I mean,
Nestor Aparicio 03:26
I had a very high ranking ravens official saying, Weโre gonna offer him a lot of money. And Iโm like, Well, weโll see. You know, I mean, itโs a big Leesy
Brandon Williams 03:33
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, thatโd be great. I love Iโd love it number, weโll see
Nestor Aparicio 03:38
what are you proudest of your lead? I donโt want to see letโs pretend youโre not. But for this body of work, what are you most proud of from the time you got to town till now?
Brandon Williams 03:48
Being me. Thatโs what Iโm proud of. So okay, just stand me stand myself not. So getting swayed this way or that way, by, you know, other people or by, you know, teammates or whatever.
Nestor Aparicio 04:02
I mean, winning and losing youโre, youโre very even Iโll say,
Brandon Williams 04:05
Yeah. And thatโs why I mean, if you lose, if you lose, you take it on the chin, and you go back next time. I mean, thatโs all you can do. I mean, life is simple. Itโs people that make art. I guess.
Nestor Aparicio 04:17
Weโre finding that out. Friends, do you live in a part of the world where? Sure, you know, minority means something at that point. But yeah, I mean, I for you played at this level, I guess the last couple of years. I donโt know that we want to envision a defense with it. Right. I know. Weโre like weโve got this hole to fill in that hole. I guess thatโs the hardest part for the ravens and for this offseason is that, you know, thereโs work to be done. Right. I mean, I guess thatโs what they need. For everybody. Yeah,
Brandon Williams 04:48
definitely. Because who wants to be average?
Nestor Aparicio 04:51
Not I know, one of the top football questions. Oh,
Luke Jones 04:55
yeah. Well, Iโm gonna ask you, you were asked at the end of the season about a hometown discount now. disclaimer before I pose my question. I donโt like the term hometown discount, because that implies that automatically, even if the offers insanely lower than other offers that are out there that youโll go there any time. My question is to you, you clearly expressed a desire to stay. If if it makes sense for you, if itโs close, if there are other suitors where itโs close, and whatever closes, thatโs up to you, obviously, yeah, youโre making a decision. But if itโs close, do you envision a scenario where you could pick the Ravens even if itโs not the highest offer on the table?
Brandon Williams 05:34
Yeah, if itโs close then and itโs like, coming from known to unknown you know, you know, what you get when youโre in Baltimore, you know, what youโre getting, you know, who youโre getting, you know, who youโre dealing with, you know, your teammates are your coaches are, and going to the team, new scheme, new plays new playbooks and not knowing really what to expect over here. If itโs close enough to where I have to make that decision, when it comes down to that decision. Iโm saying the Baltimore because I like Baltimore, my familyโs in Baltimore, my sonโs going to school and stuff like that. Iโll pick that, you know, thatโs if itโs close. So, I mean, that if thatโs if thatโs the, you know, kind of the factor that makes makes or break the decision, then Iโll stay in Baltimore, if itโs close,
Luke Jones 06:14
does it does it give you hope, and this was a couple years before you came along, but 2011, the Ravens made a long term commitment to Hello Dnata, a guy that youโve drawn many comparisons to, especially when he loud, does it give you hope, give you optimism that because they valued a player like him now being on the defensive line, similar skill set to you, that, that theyโll show you that same kind of a willingness to make a commitment. Yeah, you know,
Brandon Williams 06:38
but I mean, you never know until it happens. And Iโm not gonna get excited, or, you know, like, show emotion or, like, discuss to a team that Iโve been playing for and love. I mean, I donโt have any hatred, no, nothing towards my team. And I love them. But I mean, whatever happens happens. I mean, right now, Iโm a Baltimore Raven, and Iโll be a Baltimore Raven until further notice. I mean, I guess. So whether, you know, whatever happens happens with me, Iโm kind of on fire. I see my pants and not gonna get excited or down that nothingโs happened yet or nothing like that. I mean, I understand it, you got stuff going on, you got Pro Bowl, you got Super Bowl, you got you know, new guys, you got Senior Bowl going on, and all that stuff. Coaches got stuff. Thereโs a lot of moving parts. I mean, whatever happens happens, and when that happens, is going to happen. So the only best thing I know is that itโs going to happen. So Iโm just just chilling my family and making the most of my time.
Nestor Aparicio 07:35
Yeah, I havenโt had you on radio a lot over the course of time. I think you came out right before Jen got cancer the second time last year? Yeah. I donโt remember asking this because you feel entrenched to me. You know, like, we didnโt have a lot of conversations as a rookie or whatever. And you came in. When you got drafted by the Ravens. What were your first impressions? Like we first impressions guy where you were in the draft process? You could have really gone almost anywhere, right? I mean, probably before the draft, you thought, well, hereโs five or six teams that I might go to right then they pick your name. What were your first thoughts? I mean, thereโs a championship team you had the stock and all that when you landed in town has it been exactly what you expected it to be? Or is it exceeded the expectations of the day your draft when youโre like, Oh, youโre right. You havenโt been a Baltimore? No, no. Itโs really an unknown.
Brandon Williams 08:23
I mean, it hasnโt been the same for me and my very first thought when I heard it thought Baltimore, Maryland crabcakes football first thing that I thought oh, so yeah, itโs been completely consistent the whole time. So but no, like great defense. Championship just stand up organization. family oriented, my all that stuff that
Nestor Aparicio 08:50
you knew that about the rave? Yeah, did your own research 32 cheeks hurt another handful of places youโre like, God, Please donโt pick me. Please donโt you know, like, Ebola was not is not one of those places for anybody, you know? And I think thatโs the thing that Iโve seen change over 21 years were when the Shannon sharps and the Tony Sarah gooseโs and the rod Woodson started picking Baltimore and then it then we won. And then you know, Billick Flacco re Ed, hello, it says, oh, all those guys, you know, youโre the latest to come into that all that was built ahead of you, that being drafted by the Ravens in the middle round, you know, when
Brandon Williams 09:25
youโre drafted to the ravens, as a defensive player, knowing the caliber and stature of the defense is like, itโs a pat on the back and itself to where you want to be right, because, like, why wouldnโt a defensive player want to be on one of the greatest defenses in history? You know, sure, why not? I mean, the fact that they want me being a part of that, and I feel, you know, honored to be that and Iโm gonna play my butt off to keep that statute to where it is. You So thatโs why Iโve been playing my butt off because I know where the Ravens I mean, obviously, itโs just just who I am sure. And but I know thatโs the statute and thatโs what they want me to do. Itโs my job to do it.
Luke Jones 10:11
Is it exciting to see the defensive line thatโs been built, kind of starting with you as far as transitioning from that whole Lodi era. But Timmy Jernigan, of course, a year after you, Michael Pierce came along this year out of nowhere, Willie Henry and Carl Davis werenโt even in the mix this year because of some injuries and circumstances. Lawrence guy. Yeah, it has to be. It has to be exciting and to take pride in what you guys did this year. Okay. You didnโt get to where he wanted to be from a team standpoint. But what we
Brandon Williams 10:38
did better than the year before? Sure. Always Sure. Great silver lining. Sure.
Luke Jones 10:42
So I mean,
Brandon Williams 10:45
exactly. If you do stay, yeah. How
Luke Jones 10:47
exciting is that? To know that? I mean, thatโs an oppressive defensive front, you guys have built? Oh, yeah.
Brandon Williams 10:53
I mean, my guys are hard nosed warriors. And I know, you know, coming back to Baltimore, I know what I got. I know who I got fighting beside me. I mean, itโs like the army. I mean, you trust the guy next to you with your life. And thatโs what I do. I know these guys inside and out. And I know the love that they showed me and the love that I have for them. And I know I can work with them whenever wherever. So I mean, coming back to Baltimore with a with a group of guys like that, and our defensive line room. And I have two linebackers, and anywhere on the defense, I mean, itโs just great knowing that I got guys who backed me up as much as I backed them up
Nestor Aparicio 11:29
after the Steelers game. I watched it again for the first time that the play was on one of the televisions here and the arm goes out and I saw see Joeโs, you know, to be that close, and very much so right. And I think when you lose in that fashion, when it is that close to that separator to say, well, we would have been in the playoffs. We would have had a home game. Maybe it was also last week in New England. Yeah, I think that thatโs the hardest thing if I were player to accept that part of it, of how close it was, and making it that much harder to sit around and watch this unfold over the last three or four weeks and especially because a lot of things in play all that well in the tournament, right? You sit watch the playoffs. They kind of stunk quite frankly, many kinda let me believe like, man, if we just would have had a ticket in that dance, you know, maybe I could have maybe I could have cashed that ticket. Yeah, Iโm in a different week.
Brandon Williams 12:24
Itโs tough. Itโs tough. But I mean, obviously the teams that went were deserving because they want they did they did their job. They, they they did everything they needed to do to get to that point, and we didnโt so
Nestor Aparicio 12:36
that doesnโt make it easier. Right. You look back. You see Brady and Ryan Youโre like, those guys deserve to be here. They
Brandon Williams 12:41
won they did what you had to do to get here. I mean, we didnโt obviously so when it comes to one play a few plays and beginning or whatever, I mean, whoever is in the playoffs deserves it. Because they worked and they did the due diligence and whether it came down to one play two plays or just a straight up book kickin, you know or luck. Luck, you know, once that happens, I mean, you think look at the Eagles game we played that one play that powers broke up that last one play at the end. I mean, thatโs the same played Steelers. I mean, you could win either way.
Nestor Aparicio 13:14
Yeah, I wrote the book four years ago when the team won there wasnโt one person and I wrote that in the foreword that didnโt mention luck. Like when I sat and talked to them about winning the Super Bowl walk was was in the first couple three four, you know Yeah, we were good. Yeah, we had a cool yeah, we play well. We were lucky though. We had a lot of luck leaving
Brandon Williams 13:32
sometimes a lot better to be lucky than good luck better to be lucky than good.
Nestor Aparicio 13:37
What do you listen to these days? We you know, anything rocky told me that was rap old rap new country rock. And he Justin Bieber and era? No, no,
Brandon Williams 13:46
thereโs no db
Nestor Aparicio 13:49
to figure out what youโre not listening to.
Brandon Williams 13:50
Thereโs no dip. I mean, I let JB I know you do. Thatโs why but thereโs no JB even theyโre not there. Because it was caucus play. What do you listen to? Anything and everything like literally like name a song and I probably heard it and listen to it.
Nestor Aparicio 14:05
Give me your five. Like if I could do a concert for because youโre really in the cloud you on the spot? If they were fine. If I could have a brand in stock, okay, I mean, like, you know what I mean, and we bring them on to Joplin. Weโre gonna write whoโs playing in the parking lot for us playing Iโm just playing
Brandon Williams 14:25
like that our lives no matter
Nestor Aparicio 14:30
if you want to bring all this back
Brandon Williams 14:33

Nestor Aparicio 14:47

Why would you not want to score touchdowns? Like, as every big guys dream, like every guy who plays peewee football with the stripe in the back of the helmet because they canโt touch the ball here to big

Nestor Aparicio 19:32

Howโs the wife? By the way?
Nestor Aparicio 21:51
Sheโs good man. She everybodyโs asking about her. She finds that to be fascinating. Iโm like, well, youโre all sheโs been to the last
Brandon Williams 21:57
because sheโs cooler than you.
Nestor Aparicio 21:59
That is true. I mean, thereโs no one that I disagree with that. Universally. She
Brandon Williams 22:04
is definitely your better half
Nestor Aparicio 22:07
Correct. Coverage. All right, Australia next week. Weโre spending 17 days in Australia and New Zealand. Weโve never been to New Zealand. Okay, so a little side story when you were in my life at this time, my wife got bitten by spider three years ago, next month in Brisbane, Australia. Okay, and that was her cancer. Thatโs what got made her body sort of a reaction that made her leukemia happened. You know, we thought it was jetlag, we thought, you know, so, over the last three years, she has been very into like going back to Australia, because we had such a great experience. Yeah. And she came from Australia home and then went into bed to live or die. You know, sheโs been 155 days now in the hospital. So through all of this, she had said, When I get better, the first thing I want to do is go back to Australia. And Springsteen announced the tour, like in late August night, and I said, You know what, letโs check the flight. The flights were super cheap. Iโm like, Look, no pressure, you just a bottle Iโm gonna get Iโm gonna get the flights. You know what I mean? And letโs get you on a pathway because she couldnโt she could not have done that September, October. Yeah. I mean, she missed some home games this year, because she wasnโt sort of well, no, no, but sheโs doing great. They put her on a really good drug prednisone, itโs awful drug but itโs good. Sheโs getting stronger. Youโre the one to ask me on the air. So I havenโt told this story cuz people ask me all the time. So weโve been ramping up to get her completely healthy so that she can do this. Thatโs cool. So sheโs doing well and I have every reason to believe weโll be in Brisbane, Australia. Seen Bruce Springsteen on Valentineโs night.
Brandon Williams 23:42
Oh, itโs talking about Mike drop on that one on Valentineโs Day Night?
Nestor Aparicio 23:47
Yeah, yeah. So I hope he plays a lot of tunnel. Heโs been very political
Brandon Williams 23:52
stuff definitely.
Nestor Aparicio 24:00
Yeah, did you know my biggest regret if you signed with like some jackass team, like the Chiefs or the Steelers or something awful, is gonna be that we didnโt do more radio. Because you are funny. I like you.
Brandon Williams 24:12
I try. I like you. Appreciate it
Nestor Aparicio 24:15
to charity stuff too. I see you with the box thing and you
Brandon Williams 24:17
do you boys and girls. Yeah, my own Boys and Girls Club I adopted and what?
Nestor Aparicio 24:22
Tell me why that was important to you. Because I grew up going
Brandon Williams 24:25
actually with the boys club of St. Louis. It was just it was just strictly a boys club. But now you know, boy clubs, somewhere I could go to get away from whatever life stuff I was going through as a kid. Just kind of just be with friends hang out, you know didnโt have much money to do much but the boys and girls,
Nestor Aparicio 24:43
yourself and those kids when youโre over there? Yeah,
Brandon Williams 24:46
