Nothing like having a great interview and then realizing you didn't hit the record button good enough. So, as best I can recall, here is a synopsis of what Ryan had to say.
Q- What age did you start punting?
A- After some thought he came up with 15.

Q-Do you know the secret song Gostkowski likes to hum in his head before field goals?
A- Allen believes he knows the answer to that and gave me what I believe was the name of the band. Sorry folks, I can't remember what he said. I remember thinking it sounded Italian, possibly something like Agetti. If anyone thinks they may know, shoot me a message.

Q- Do you have any special rituals you do?
A- Although he warms up the same way before and during games he's not superstitious and doesn't have any lucky socks or anything like that.

Q- What's the percentage of time you spend punting vs. holding?
A- Even

Q- Do you spend time practicing what to do with a bad snap?
A- While he said they do go over that, he said I was correct in that they don't have Joe Cardona give them bad snaps on purpose.

Q- Tom Brady gets together with his receivers in the offseason, do you and Gostkowsi get together?
A- Ryan pointed out that he lives on the west coast, so that would be hard especially with their short off-seasons. He did say that they spent a lot of time together during the season.

Q- How far can you punt righty?
​A- Not very far
