1:09
Speaker 1: the data, it's just like another million, another million, So
1:13
Speaker 1: thank you, especially because I only played pro ball for
1:15
Speaker 1: like five years. That's it. Five years. Here is Dallas
1:21
Speaker 1: Cowboys owner and general manager, and it's one of my
1:25
Speaker 1: favorite people. I set it up a little bit. We
1:29
Speaker 1: are sitting in the room they do the press conferences,
1:32
Speaker 1: the postgame press conmerence. We just grabbed chairs and throw
1:35
Speaker 1: mikes in our hands. It was not something that was
1:39
Speaker 1: it was organized as to what we were gonna do.
1:41
Speaker 1: But Jerry Jones is like the coolest dude. He was like,
1:44
Speaker 1: let's just do it here. We're like, all right, let's
1:46
Speaker 1: just do it here. And so we got some microphones
1:48
Speaker 1: that Mike get brought in. Away we went and we
1:50
Speaker 1: talked about all kinds of stuff. Now I haven't heard
1:53
Speaker 1: the audio, but I wonder if you could hear the
1:57
Speaker 1: music in the background, because this is cool. Just two
1:59
Speaker 1: are right behind where you were sitting. Bones was the
2:02
Speaker 1: locker room, and you can hear the music just blaring
2:05
Speaker 1: in the locker room and dudes yelling. You can't hear
2:07
Speaker 1: the music, but you do hear when they yell. You
2:09
Speaker 1: hear like an eruption of the players. It's pretty cool.
2:13
Speaker 1: That was cool, dude. Here I am talking with Jerry Jones.
2:17
Speaker 1: I wish you was my dad. I do enjoy Mr Jones.
2:23
Speaker 1: Have heard people call you many things since we've been
2:24
Speaker 1: here the last hour. I've heard Mr Jones. I've they
2:28
Speaker 1: referred to you as Jerry. Someone called you uncle Jerry
2:30
Speaker 1: a minute ago. You have a lot of names here
2:32
Speaker 1: as you walk around. Well, I do prefer especially from
2:35
Speaker 1: you Jerry. Is that really why I feel like I
2:39
Speaker 1: can call you Jerry because that means we're friends. Now,
2:41
Speaker 1: of course we are friends and uh, but mainly you've
2:45
Speaker 1: got that Arkansas blood, didn't you, which qualifies us uh,
2:49
Speaker 1: both to have a little fun cousins and uh, why
2:53
Speaker 1: not can be? Um, I've got a lot of Jones
2:56
Speaker 1: running around out here. I just get in line this
3:00
Speaker 1: story that I've rarely shared. But and there's zero percent
3:03
Speaker 1: chance that you would remember this, and I don't expect
3:04
Speaker 1: you to. But as probably fifteen or so years ago,
3:07
Speaker 1: you were in Hot Springs. You were sitting in a
3:10
Speaker 1: section of a restaurant and I think it was Oakland
3:12
Speaker 1: Oakland was I was at the races. Um you were
3:15
Speaker 1: sitting in a section between the restaurant the bar, waiting
3:17
Speaker 1: on somebody, and I saw you sitting there and I thought,
3:20
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones from Markets, from Markets All, why can I
3:22
Speaker 1: not go up and say hello? And so I approached
3:24
Speaker 1: you and I said hello, and I sat beside. I
3:25
Speaker 1: was waiting on people too, and you and I talked
3:27
Speaker 1: for like ten to fifteen minutes, and I kind of
3:29
Speaker 1: just told you my story. You talked to me for
3:31
Speaker 1: a while, and I remember thinking, I can't believe Jerry
3:33
Speaker 1: Jones is a normal, like nice person, because we always
3:36
Speaker 1: see big Jerry Jones, you know, the guy that's running
3:39
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. But you were such a normal person.
3:41
Speaker 1: And at the end of the conversation you literally gave
3:43
Speaker 1: me your cell phone number and said, if you ever
3:44
Speaker 1: need anything, call me. I never called you. I actually
3:46
Speaker 1: needed a few things, but I never called you. But
3:49
Speaker 1: I left that going like Jerry Jones is like a
3:52
Speaker 1: like a for real caring guy, like a guy who
3:55
Speaker 1: seemingly cares about relationships a lot. Is that probably? Would
3:59
Speaker 1: you say that as the key to your success here
4:01
Speaker 1: has been relationships? Well, let me say this, uh my
4:04
Speaker 1: life has spent with my uh one on one relationships.
4:10
Speaker 1: What is a little confusing about this thing is that
4:13
Speaker 1: the more visibility have uh and frankly being associated with
4:17
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't ever confuse the interest in Jerry
4:22
Speaker 1: Jones with what the real deal is, and that's the
4:25
Speaker 1: interest in the Dallas Cowboys. I'll say this seriously. Yes,
4:31
Speaker 1: I did have a marvelous young life growing up in Arkansas,
4:36
Speaker 1: and I was coached up real good in life, not
4:39
Speaker 1: necessarily football but life. Great parents, uh, entrepreneurs, always struggling,
4:46
Speaker 1: but wonderful around the kitchen table osmosis. But I certainly
4:52
Speaker 1: got a great appreciation for the kinds of lives that
4:57
Speaker 1: make up Arkansas. For sure, there's no question that my
5:01
Speaker 1: affinity is there, continue to have things there and continue
5:05
Speaker 1: to have all the relationships I've had. But having said that,
5:08
Speaker 1: when I got involved with the Cowboys, um, I knew
5:12
Speaker 1: it was going to be tough because the Cowboys were
5:15
Speaker 1: losing a million a month in cash flow, and I
5:18
Speaker 1: bought part of them from the government that had been
5:20
Speaker 1: foreclosed on and football was not going strong. They're not
5:24
Speaker 1: pro football at the time. As a matter of fact,
5:27
Speaker 1: I don't and never have heard of anybody that ever
5:30
Speaker 1: made a positive dollar in sports, owning a team period
5:34
Speaker 1: football or otherwise where I'm going with this, But I
5:37
Speaker 1: was proud. I was really proud to my master's thesis
5:41
Speaker 1: as at Arkansas when I got to play on our
5:44
Speaker 1: national championship team. But I was also going to school.
5:47
Speaker 1: My master's thesis rose the role of marketing in modern
5:50
Speaker 1: day football. I dreamed of somehow being a part of
5:53
Speaker 1: a life that was had something to do with football.
5:57
Speaker 1: But this is my point to everyone, go to your passion,
6:03
Speaker 1: because I just thought that I had accomplished a little
6:08
Speaker 1: something that I could be proud of when I bought
6:10
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. What I didn't realize was that every day,
6:14
Speaker 1: inspired by getting to be a part of the future,
6:17
Speaker 1: getting to be a part of the fans, getting to
6:19
Speaker 1: be a part of the game, it just caused me
6:21
Speaker 1: to try things I would have never done and caused
6:24
Speaker 1: things to happen that would have never happened. And so
6:27
Speaker 1: the facts are, I really was just getting started. The
6:30
Speaker 1: Cowboys inspired me way beyond just the touchdowns or any
6:36
Speaker 1: financial game. I wrote a book called fail until you Don't,
6:39
Speaker 1: which is and I had Governor Hudson in Arkansas and
6:42
Speaker 1: Chris Stapleton a lot of guys that we know as
6:44
Speaker 1: super successful um artists or in business talk about their
6:49
Speaker 1: biggest failure, but how that actually led them to their
6:51
Speaker 1: biggest successes. And we see you as just an eternal
6:54
Speaker 1: success story because we see you on TV or we
6:57
Speaker 1: hear you. Was there a certain failure early on that
7:01
Speaker 1: actually taught you so much that allowed all of this
7:03
Speaker 1: success later on? Well, when we were first married, my
7:07
Speaker 1: wife Keen and I, uh, they came to the house
7:10
Speaker 1: when she stepped out one day and took her purse
7:13
Speaker 1: and grabbed all the credit cards out and cut them into.
7:17
Speaker 1: About fifteen years before I bought the Cowboys, I came
7:20
Speaker 1: to Dallas, and after I bought the Cowboys, a writer
7:24
Speaker 1: asked when we didn't win but one game our first year,
7:27
Speaker 1: which was a little downer, but when we did and
7:30
Speaker 1: he said, he's got to be some of the roughest
7:32
Speaker 1: days of your life. And I said, no, not even
7:35
Speaker 1: here in Dallas. About fifteen years ago, I landed at
7:38
Speaker 1: love Field, took my card up to rent a car
7:42
Speaker 1: from from my think Hurts, and they looked down a
7:45
Speaker 1: list and cut my card into and said, young man,
7:48
Speaker 1: you need to learn how to pay your bills now.
7:51
Speaker 1: That's a hard day in Dallas, not necessarily a one
7:54
Speaker 1: lost record with the Cowboys so much Salvation Army. I
7:59
Speaker 1: feel like people know about it now because of what
8:01
Speaker 1: you guys do as far as starting that campaign. Why
8:05
Speaker 1: is that so important to you guys? Have the cattle
8:07
Speaker 1: in Salvation Army is not only part of the Cowboys,
8:09
Speaker 1: but just to be a part of that brand all
8:11
Speaker 1: over the country. Again, by the the thing that's surprised,
8:16
Speaker 1: I'm never surprised at the interest in the team. But
8:19
Speaker 1: what I does surprise me is when I travel, and
8:22
Speaker 1: I travel a lot, I love as many people come
8:25
Speaker 1: up and say thanks for what you do for the
8:27
Speaker 1: Salvation Army and the Red Cattalysts say go Cowboys. Uh.
8:30
Speaker 1: It probably is the most uh meaningful or notable thing
8:37
Speaker 1: for me about having been associated with pro sports. Are
8:41
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Uh. We have three million volunteers in
8:46
Speaker 1: this country on Red Cattle time in the Christmas time. Uh,
8:50
Speaker 1: while people are having meetings or board meetings about how
8:54
Speaker 1: to help people, Uh, they've got Santa Claus under a tree,
8:57
Speaker 1: They've got shoes on somebody, or they got food nurse stomach.
9:01
Speaker 1: Before they can even have a board meeting and other organizations,
9:04
Speaker 1: and they get it there with most of the dollar
9:07
Speaker 1: that you put in that kettle going right where you
9:09
Speaker 1: would love to see it go. That's why I'm such
9:12
Speaker 1: a fantom. If we could play football as good as
9:14
Speaker 1: the people that uh that Salvation Army do their job,
9:18
Speaker 1: would be world champs every year. Do you get nervous
9:21
Speaker 1: before games? Very still? And I'm nervous right now, very
9:24
Speaker 1: nervous I always have, but really almost uh uh sick
9:29
Speaker 1: nervous this many games into owning such a big franchise
9:34
Speaker 1: and you're nervous. Why do you think the nerves are
9:36
Speaker 1: in you still today? Well, you look at what might
9:40
Speaker 1: be the possibility of coming out playing good. Uh, if
9:46
Speaker 1: we can get through this thing, uh without serious injuries. Um,
9:51
Speaker 1: all of the things I think like anything, really, but
9:56
Speaker 1: you need to be positive to play football. I played
9:59
Speaker 1: foot off of the Razorbacks and uh I had to
10:02
Speaker 1: call on it. Boy, it hurt me to play football.
10:06
Speaker 1: I love baseball. Uh So one time my trainer said, Jones,
10:11
Speaker 1: he's had a Virginia brogue. And he said, Jones, you've
10:14
Speaker 1: got to have the lowest tolerance for pain of any
10:16
Speaker 1: kid we've ever had. With the Razorbacks, and I said,
10:19
Speaker 1: damn it, Groundy, it hurts me more than it does
10:21
Speaker 1: everybody else. I said, hell, eric toes are hanging off,
10:24
Speaker 1: and I said, it hurts me to get kicked. I
10:26
Speaker 1: deserve an honor. Figure up an honor for me. I'm
10:29
Speaker 1: brave to be out there. It hurts more than they do.
10:32
Speaker 1: You played running back in high school and then offensive
10:34
Speaker 1: line for the six or fourth championship team, right? Is
10:36
Speaker 1: that is my accurate there? It's done your homework, boy,
10:38
Speaker 1: that I live. I'm die hard. You know I'm die
10:41
Speaker 1: hard razorback, die hard Jerry Jones. So if what's that transition?
10:45
Speaker 1: And did you not want to play running back in
10:48
Speaker 1: college or did they say you should now play offensive line.
10:51
Speaker 1: One of the toughest things I ever had to stomach
10:54
Speaker 1: was my junior year. I was the starting fullback for
10:57
Speaker 1: the Razorbacks. I was so proud. Uh replayed almost everything
11:02
Speaker 1: that was going to happen for the year. We came
11:05
Speaker 1: to school and I started the first three or four games.
11:07
Speaker 1: I pulled a ham uh And we had some other fullbacks,
11:11
Speaker 1: good ones, Bobby Nicks, Charles Daniels, people that we all
11:16
Speaker 1: could remember back. But we lost all of our guards
11:20
Speaker 1: and I had played guard uh my first year at
11:23
Speaker 1: the Razorbacks, so they moved me to guard. I went
11:27
Speaker 1: over to talk to Coach Brawls to tell him my
11:30
Speaker 1: heart wouldn't need it. I couldn't move to guard. I
11:33
Speaker 1: wanted to carry the ball. I wanted to catch passes,
11:37
Speaker 1: and so he said, find Jerry. Well. Another coach came
11:40
Speaker 1: back to my locker and he went around the room
11:43
Speaker 1: and he named guys that had never been on the field.
11:46
Speaker 1: Fred Marshall, who became the great quarterback that led us
11:49
Speaker 1: to our national championship team, Kenny Dean, a great running back,
11:53
Speaker 1: never been on the field. There were all kinds handfuls
11:56
Speaker 1: had never been on the field. And my coach looked
11:58
Speaker 1: at me and said, Jerry, I told old you. Mother
12:00
Speaker 1: and daddy want to offers you the scholarship. I'd take
12:03
Speaker 1: care of you. He says, Coach Brawls will set you
12:06
Speaker 1: down and you may never see a field again. You
12:10
Speaker 1: can make this move that he's asking you to do,
12:13
Speaker 1: and you can have a hell of a career and
12:14
Speaker 1: be a starter. Don't you see the handwriting on the wall? Well?
12:18
Speaker 1: I did. I did like he did. I was mad
12:21
Speaker 1: about having done it. Then I'm mad about it. At
12:24
Speaker 1: eighty years old today, I'm still mad about it. I
12:26
Speaker 1: should have been carrying ball and catching passes. What if
12:29
Speaker 1: a player says that to you. What if they're like,
12:31
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't want to move, I
12:32
Speaker 1: don't want to return points. You know, I'm never what
12:35
Speaker 1: what kind of conversation would you have with them? Well,
12:37
Speaker 1: first of all, because really, as much as anything that
12:40
Speaker 1: story I would have, I mean this, I would have grace.
12:44
Speaker 1: I've had it said to me in different ways, not
12:46
Speaker 1: necessarily the same situation about a position, but I've had
12:50
Speaker 1: it to me with other men and women. And when
12:53
Speaker 1: I see somebody buck, when I see him stop and
12:57
Speaker 1: come in and it's hard, I know it's hard, and
12:59
Speaker 1: tell me a look, I respect you. I'm not trying
13:03
Speaker 1: to be awkward, but I want to go this way.
13:06
Speaker 1: I respect that, and I remember that story and I
13:10
Speaker 1: go there, Uh, I've had I'm a cat that's had
13:16
Speaker 1: eight lives out of nine, and so I'm a life
13:20
Speaker 1: of giver. I hope and do show grace when somebody
13:24
Speaker 1: has some real mindset as to where they won't go
13:27
Speaker 1: with their life. Got three questions Life Now this is
13:29
Speaker 1: an urban legend that I've heard about you that when
13:32
Speaker 1: you were and you can tell me if this is false,
13:34
Speaker 1: but I want to get the whole story out. And
13:36
Speaker 1: you've had such an instrumental part of designing this this facility,
13:39
Speaker 1: which is still a plus. And I you know we
13:41
Speaker 1: were talking earlier. After fourteen years, people still treated like
13:44
Speaker 1: it's brand new, and they might be seen it yet.
13:45
Speaker 1: But the story is that there was a tile that
13:47
Speaker 1: you wanted and you flew to another country to say,
13:51
Speaker 1: I'd like to have this tile. They said, we don't have.
13:52
Speaker 1: It's on back order. So you said, you bought the
13:55
Speaker 1: whole place, then you got the tile, then you sold
13:57
Speaker 1: the place and made money off the selling of the business.
14:00
Speaker 1: That story true, Well, let me say this. I don't
14:03
Speaker 1: know that I made money when I when I sold
14:06
Speaker 1: it back, but I was creative in getting the towel.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now you had a little problem when you want a
14:13
Speaker 1: foot a tie in a place like this. You're talking
14:16
Speaker 1: about four million square feet five million square feet. So
14:20
Speaker 1: if tile is three dollars in twenty cents, then multiply
14:25
Speaker 1: that times three or four million. Well, in this particular case,
14:28
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my wife Jean to find
14:32
Speaker 1: the perfect tie for the right price, which was a
14:35
Speaker 1: lot less, but she found it. And one of the
14:39
Speaker 1: other things she did is she uh uh took and
14:43
Speaker 1: took granted and uh they chopped the granted up and
14:47
Speaker 1: then the aggregated it back as a solid and it's
14:50
Speaker 1: most beautiful thing you've ever seen. And we have it
14:52
Speaker 1: on our bartops all around. But yeah, this place, this place, yes, yes, uh,
15:00
Speaker 1: this place uh did have the benefit of us all
15:05
Speaker 1: getting in and looking at every countertop and looking at
15:08
Speaker 1: every corner that was out there, and it was a
15:11
Speaker 1: labor of love. While we're talking about it, and I
15:13
Speaker 1: know we're talking too much about Arkansas, but Coach Brawls
15:16
Speaker 1: was such an inspiration for me here and uh he
15:20
Speaker 1: really gave me a lot of keep going in, a
15:24
Speaker 1: lot of of confidence, if you will on it. He
15:27
Speaker 1: took us to the Astronome when I was nineteen. We
15:30
Speaker 1: were down there to get ready to play Nebraska and
15:33
Speaker 1: the Cotton Bowl here in Dallas, and he took us
15:36
Speaker 1: away from the fans. He took us out there. There
15:38
Speaker 1: had never been a game played in the Astronome, but
15:40
Speaker 1: it was ready to go. Godly, it looked like mars it.
15:45
Speaker 1: How could you think about playing a game? And all
15:48
Speaker 1: I know is that from that point forward I read
15:52
Speaker 1: everything I could talk to everybody I could about it.
15:54
Speaker 1: Roller clock forward thirty years later, I was thinking about
15:57
Speaker 1: this place A T and T now show you how
16:01
Speaker 1: kicking in for young people happens. I didn't know where
16:04
Speaker 1: I was gonna get all the money, but I knew
16:06
Speaker 1: one thing a man could do it because I had
16:09
Speaker 1: been in one that a man did, the astro dough. Well,
16:13
Speaker 1: guess what happens when you're young. When you get a
16:15
Speaker 1: chance to do it, you go. You can put five
16:18
Speaker 1: of those damn astro domes in here today, so you
16:21
Speaker 1: always if you get inspired or you can make it go.
16:24
Speaker 1: Question two if three talking about music for a second
16:27
Speaker 1: and a free time, who do you listen to? And
16:29
Speaker 1: then the A C. M. S Are coming here? Like
16:30
Speaker 1: you're super instrumental in that, Um, why do you feel
16:34
Speaker 1: like country of music is so on brand with what
16:36
Speaker 1: you're doing? And then also who do you listen to? Well,
16:39
Speaker 1: first of all, it comes natural. When my father had
16:43
Speaker 1: his store of a grocery store, my sister and I
16:46
Speaker 1: lived above it, but in the middle of the store
16:49
Speaker 1: he built a bandstand, and he brought in a great marketer,
16:54
Speaker 1: announcer and little rock called Brother Howe. And he brought
16:58
Speaker 1: Brother Howe in from Forest City, or and saw and
17:00
Speaker 1: Brother Howe did live of amateur talent contest and he
17:06
Speaker 1: basically made and and produced and produced shows right out
17:11
Speaker 1: of the middle of the store. It was a big
17:13
Speaker 1: stand right in the middle of the store. And so
17:16
Speaker 1: I just grew up. I was around it all the time.
17:18
Speaker 1: I was around the store constantly, right across the street.
17:22
Speaker 1: It was a great if you will, honky Ton and
17:25
Speaker 1: some of the greatest names of country, Hank Williams, those
17:30
Speaker 1: kind of guys. And I got to see it because
17:33
Speaker 1: of my age evolve up through uh el us a
17:36
Speaker 1: couple of years older than me. But my point is
17:39
Speaker 1: I have lived uh the great mainstream of country and
17:46
Speaker 1: if you will, a little of the rock and roll
17:48
Speaker 1: that we all looked back on today, Well I lived that.
17:52
Speaker 1: And my dad would uh just frankly in his own
17:56
Speaker 1: way and docnating. He had a band called the Pat Supermarketeers.
17:59
Speaker 1: His name was Pats, called pass exactly Pats, and he
18:04
Speaker 1: would take that band and he'd be out late and
18:07
Speaker 1: having a good time where the country music rolling, and boy,
18:10
Speaker 1: he'd bring that band in and here it would go.
18:12
Speaker 1: And he had only let his friend stay in, but
18:14
Speaker 1: everybody was his friend, so they'd have a big time
18:17
Speaker 1: and keep it open. Who do you who'd you listen
18:19
Speaker 1: to it this morning? Just give me a couple of
18:20
Speaker 1: artists you like still. I like Stapleton of course, and
18:23
Speaker 1: uh not of course, but I like Stapleton, And Uh,
18:28
Speaker 1: I stopped in my tracks when any of those uh
18:31
Speaker 1: great ones uh come in. Uh. But I'm a great
18:35
Speaker 1: Roy Orbison fan. Uh and uh, he'll stop me in
18:39
Speaker 1: my tracks when I see some of his great music.
18:42
Speaker 1: And uh, I can't move when dream comes on, Dreams, Dreams,
18:48
Speaker 1: dream dreamed. That's pretty good. Huh, Roy, you're right over. Yeah, alright,
18:53
Speaker 1: Final question for you, Mr John, Sorry Jerry, Final question. Um.
18:56
Speaker 1: I know that so much of what you do is
18:58
Speaker 1: giving back to not only this community, but also you
19:02
Speaker 1: can drive on the campus of Fabeville, the football complex.
19:04
Speaker 1: You guys have done so much there, But now there's
19:07
Speaker 1: a museum being built right outside of the stadium. Can
19:09
Speaker 1: you tell me about that? Well, we're extraordinarily privileged, uh
19:14
Speaker 1: to get to use this forum, if you will. The Cowboys,
19:17
Speaker 1: the visibility and the National Medal of Honor winners, not winners,
19:25
Speaker 1: but recipients, decided to let us help fund and build
19:30
Speaker 1: the National Medal of Honor Museum. And in conjunction with that,
19:34
Speaker 1: the same monument is not the same one, but a
19:37
Speaker 1: monument is being built in Washington to recognize the great
19:42
Speaker 1: stories of as patriots, of what men and women have
19:47
Speaker 1: done for this country. And I think it's so big
19:50
Speaker 1: right now where the Cowboys want to do something special
19:54
Speaker 1: is it's like this stadium. This stadium was not built
19:57
Speaker 1: for the hundred thousand had come to the game. It's
19:59
Speaker 1: a great place, but it was built for thirty five million.
20:02
Speaker 1: It was built for thirty million. That's who aw Michael's
20:05
Speaker 1: is talking to. That's who John Madden was talking to. Well,
20:08
Speaker 1: we want to take the stories of the Medal of
20:11
Speaker 1: Honor recipients and we want those to not only be
20:15
Speaker 1: recognized through a tangible thing close by, but somehow we
20:19
Speaker 1: want those stories to get involved, somehow mixed in. Wonder
20:22
Speaker 1: how we're gonna do that. We've got a plan and
20:24
Speaker 1: mixed in and so that when thirty million people are
20:27
Speaker 1: watching these games, they can hear about what these Medal
20:30
Speaker 1: of Honors did for them to get to sit there
20:32
Speaker 1: with the freedom to watch the game. Jerry, I appreciate
20:36
Speaker 1: the time, Thank you very much, massive fan, and can't
20:39
Speaker 1: wait to come back for the A C. M S,
20:40
Speaker 1: which they're thinking about letting me host. I think a
20:42
Speaker 1: call from Jerry Jones saying, Bobby Bones and my guy
20:45
Speaker 1: would really kick that door in. Well, Bobby, I'm a
20:48
Speaker 1: great fan of yours. I really, I really really am.
20:51
Speaker 1: And let's don't make this the last time that we
20:54
Speaker 1: have a visit. You've got a passion between the just
21:00
Speaker 1: and really you're what you think is important, and music
21:03
Speaker 1: is a big part of it. Music is a big
21:05
Speaker 1: part of the Cowboys. We play it hard every day
21:07
Speaker 1: during practice just to have the kind of replicating the
21:11
Speaker 1: noise that they'll be seeing. And I was down here
21:13
Speaker 1: in the dressing room. I wish I had taken you down,
21:15
Speaker 1: but you couldn't have heard yourself talk in that dressing room.
21:19
Speaker 1: And the biggest fights that come on in the dressing rooms,
21:21
Speaker 1: whether we're gonna pay country, we're gonna play some soul,
21:25
Speaker 1: and then every now and one will step up and say, guys,
21:27
Speaker 1: I'm tired of this argument We're gonna have a little
21:30
Speaker 1: church music in here before we go to the field
21:32
Speaker 1: and maybe little Roy Orbison dream. Jerry Jones, everybody, Jerry,
21:36
Speaker 1: thank you, very thank goodby. There you go, Jerry Jone.
21:38
Speaker 1: Let's get a round. Who Really one of the coolest
21:43
Speaker 1: multimoment days ever for me. I mean when it comes
21:46
Speaker 1: to people from where I'm from that have made it
21:49
Speaker 1: like that's that's it and just a recap on the story.
21:53
Speaker 1: Like Jerry Jones to me is an inspiring GUI didn't
21:55
Speaker 1: grow up with a bunch of money, and he even
21:58
Speaker 1: talked about that, you know how he messed up a
22:00
Speaker 1: bunch He didn't. He took some chances and some of
22:04
Speaker 1: those chances weren't successful. But I think that's and that's
22:06
Speaker 1: when I wrote, and I've written books about like you
22:09
Speaker 1: gotta put yourself out there and be vulnerable to failing
22:11
Speaker 1: big and then when you do, because you probably will
22:14
Speaker 1: at some point, especially early, you have to have the
22:17
Speaker 1: tenacity to get back up and go okay. I learned
22:19
Speaker 1: something from that. Let me keep going. That's what Jerry
22:22
Speaker 1: Jones is about. And what was cool for me about
22:25
Speaker 1: that interview was Jerry Jones, two people is one of
22:28
Speaker 1: two people. He's either your hero because you're a massive
22:32
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, or your enemy because you love the Eagles
22:36
Speaker 1: of the Giants or another team. And in sports, if
22:38
Speaker 1: we're not on with that guy, then they're not our guy.
22:42
Speaker 1: And that's what we love about sports, because if you
22:45
Speaker 1: hate somebody in sports, you respect him. It's like when
22:48
Speaker 1: I talk about teams, like the fan base from the
22:51
Speaker 1: University of Texas hate them, all of them, Yeah, but
22:55
Speaker 1: I respect I hate him because I respect him that.
22:58
Speaker 1: It's like the University of Tennessee. They get on my
23:00
Speaker 1: dang nerves. Kentucky basketball. I want to choke him, but
23:04
Speaker 1: I do because one day matter or I wouldn't care
23:08
Speaker 1: at all, and to like, I respect it. Hey them,
23:12
Speaker 1: but hey them because they're annoying to me because I
23:13
Speaker 1: want my team to win. And man, Jerry Jones, legit,
23:16
Speaker 1: let's talk about the day, and let's talk about how
23:19
Speaker 1: we got there. I literally sent an email to the website. Hey,
23:22
Speaker 1: my name is Bobby Can I zoom with Jerry Jones,
23:26
Speaker 1: And I sent it to an account that was like
23:28
Speaker 1: Cowboys Cowboys dot com and I gotta bounce back, going,
23:33
Speaker 1: Hey the person, your email doesn't work there anymore, and
23:35
Speaker 1: I'm like, so then I said, you can go to
23:37
Speaker 1: this person or this person. So I sent a message
23:39
Speaker 1: to Tad, who works with the Dallas Cowboys, who's head
23:44
Speaker 1: of like vice president of media, whomever, whatever his specific
23:48
Speaker 1: job title is. He's a big wig over there, and
23:50
Speaker 1: he messaged me back. I don't know what he looks like,
23:52
Speaker 1: and I don't know, but he was super cool. But
23:54
Speaker 1: he was like, hey, I don't know, we'll see if
23:56
Speaker 1: Jerry is interested in this. And Days go By, Okay,
24:00
Speaker 1: maybe Jerry likes to talk to you. Days go By?
24:03
Speaker 1: You know what if we don't do a zoom? Do
24:05
Speaker 1: you ever come to games? That's the question Days go By?
24:08
Speaker 1: Would you come to a game? Which one can you pick?
24:10
Speaker 1: I only had one weekend of all of it, and
24:13
Speaker 1: so I was like, I know I'm putting in a
24:14
Speaker 1: bad spot, but this is the one weekend I'm available.
24:17
Speaker 1: Are you guys? Yes, Days go By? Mm hmm. Something
24:21
Speaker 1: came up and I would expect ten things to come up.
24:23
Speaker 1: That's Jerry Jones. Still, they made it happen. We get
24:27
Speaker 1: there that morning because we fly on Saturday night to
24:30
Speaker 1: have dinner. It was awesome and everybody's giddy. We're talking
24:34
Speaker 1: about it, but also I expect when we go that morning,
24:37
Speaker 1: there's gonna be lots of people, media groups, different reporters,
24:41
Speaker 1: and we're going to Jerry Jones Hangar to meet with
24:45
Speaker 1: whomever and fly to the game. I know Jerry's gonna
24:47
Speaker 1: be there, but who knows what he's taking and what
24:50
Speaker 1: we're taking. We go to the hangar to take a bust.
24:52
Speaker 1: We go the hanger take I don't know. So we
24:54
Speaker 1: go to the hangar and we're the first ones there
24:57
Speaker 1: because I'm always on time every single time, and I'm like, okay,
24:59
Speaker 1: we're first scraggle in. We're talking to the pilot, we're
25:04
Speaker 1: talking to some of his crew, super nice and kind,
25:07
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, Jerry be here in a few
25:08
Speaker 1: minutes in Texas and let's walk on out. I'm looking around,
25:11
Speaker 1: like where's the Dallas Morning News? And every time the
25:14
Speaker 1: door would open, you know, it would be like a
25:16
Speaker 1: guy carrying like chips to fill the vending machine or something. Well, no,
25:20
Speaker 1: it's not it, okay. I think about Jerry though. He
25:23
Speaker 1: drives his car ride out doors. So we go out
25:27
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jr. Drives up and hit awesome car and
25:30
Speaker 1: I was like, how kind of cars that? So we
25:31
Speaker 1: start talking and he's super nice, and I think he asked, Eddy,
25:34
Speaker 1: how did you guys get here? Yeah? He did. He's like,
25:37
Speaker 1: so how did all this come together with dad? I
25:41
Speaker 1: don't know, dude, I really don't know how they all
25:43
Speaker 1: getting together with your dad? Like, Bobby just sent a
25:46
Speaker 1: message and here we are. It's pretty cool. So then
25:49
Speaker 1: the car drives up and it's Jerry and Stephen. Stephen's driving,
25:55
Speaker 1: Jerry's in the passenger seat. It's so normal, Stephen's driving.
25:57
Speaker 1: They don't even have a driver drivers. It was the
26:00
Speaker 1: most beautifully bizarre thing, and how normal it was because
26:05
Speaker 1: they have such an abnormal situation of having built the
26:08
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. So I'm like, I guess the Dallas
26:13
Speaker 1: Morning News didn't show up. Well, I guess we're leaving
26:16
Speaker 1: without them, and their accounting seats are like, oh yeah,
26:18
Speaker 1: we've good, let's go. And so we get into the helicopter.
26:21
Speaker 1: Hey before them bones though, like when it was you
26:24
Speaker 1: look at the helicopter and you look at the seats,
26:27
Speaker 1: I don't know, eight eight seats, seven seven seats, seven seats,
26:30
Speaker 1: and I'm like double counting us and I'm like, oh
26:33
Speaker 1: my gosh, there are eight of us. Who's going to
26:35
Speaker 1: be left behind? But it was perfect. So there were
26:39
Speaker 1: seven or seven of us because I had to send
26:40
Speaker 1: in the passengers. By the way, I think they knew,
26:42
Speaker 1: but I was still worried. So we get in and
26:45
Speaker 1: there's there's a group of four that all look at
26:47
Speaker 1: each other. So it was me, Jerry Jr. Stephen and
26:51
Speaker 1: Jerry all sitting in this little room, this group, and
26:54
Speaker 1: then right behind them Row three, where Eddie, Mike and
26:56
Speaker 1: Caitlin all set and so we all put our headsets on.
26:59
Speaker 1: It's just cool to put head that on. A helicopter's
27:00
Speaker 1: like a t television awesome, and we go up. I
27:06
Speaker 1: haven't been in many helicopters. I've been in a few
27:08
Speaker 1: based on my last TV shows in the past few years.
27:10
Speaker 1: But it's still new to me. And it feels weird,
27:12
Speaker 1: doesn't it? To go up? In Hell? It's not normal
27:14
Speaker 1: because like you're you know, you know airplanes, you go forward,
27:16
Speaker 1: you move forward, and it's just like all right, but
27:18
Speaker 1: this is weird because it just hovers and wiggles. Yeah,
27:23
Speaker 1: it's it's like you're wiggling going up. You get do
27:26
Speaker 1: you feel sketchy at all. I mean it was your
27:27
Speaker 1: first in Mike, you two right, first time, I didn't
27:30
Speaker 1: feel sketchy at all, you know, and it felt pretty
27:32
Speaker 1: good to me too. But the first time I ever
27:34
Speaker 1: went up in one, I was like, this feels not stable, um,
27:39
Speaker 1: But we go and we go up and the weather
27:41
Speaker 1: was a little foggy, so there were no mountains, so
27:43
Speaker 1: we were good. But they were like, we'll stay a
27:45
Speaker 1: little lower and we'll just fly over the game. So
27:48
Speaker 1: we flew to again. We're in his they have now,
27:50
Speaker 1: and I felt that I was in very precious space
27:54
Speaker 1: because I was for that time in that little circle
27:57
Speaker 1: for I was part of the family group. We're all
27:59
Speaker 1: just talking and Jerry Jones was so generous with what
28:04
Speaker 1: he was willing to talk about because it was whatever.
28:06
Speaker 1: He was just talking. And we talked about a lot
28:10
Speaker 1: of stuff, some stuff I felt was personal and I
28:12
Speaker 1: will never share. It'll be under lock and key forever
28:15
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't want if I'm having a personal conversation
28:17
Speaker 1: somebody to tell that stuff, regardless of how known or
28:19
Speaker 1: not known I am. And if anyone's listening and feels
28:22
Speaker 1: left out with that information, don't worry I share that
28:24
Speaker 1: with you, because my headset wasn't working and I didn't
28:26
Speaker 1: hear any of it either, and that's where I was going.
28:30
Speaker 1: We finished we land, and right before we get out,
28:32
Speaker 1: I was like, it wasn't that awesome. I all that
28:34
Speaker 1: cowboy stuff, all the ownership stuff, and he goes my
28:38
Speaker 1: heads that wasn't plugged, and I was like, I was wondering,
28:41
Speaker 1: why you don't get a conversation. So apparently his headset
28:44
Speaker 1: wasn't broken, it just wasn't plugged in, and there was
28:47
Speaker 1: a hole to plug it in, but it was right
28:49
Speaker 1: by Jerry above every seat as a hole to plug
28:52
Speaker 1: in your your microphone headset or whatever, and Jerry had
28:55
Speaker 1: taken the one that's plugged into mine, So that means
28:58
Speaker 1: that the empty one was right next to Jerry's ear.
29:01
Speaker 1: And every time Mr Jones would lean over to talk
29:04
Speaker 1: to Bobby, I'm like I could lean over and plug
29:08
Speaker 1: it in, but then he would sit back and I'd
29:09
Speaker 1: be like, oh my gosh, And if I tickle his ear,
29:11
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like, what the crap, like gonna make
29:13
Speaker 1: you his best friend? That's true. I didn't want to
29:15
Speaker 1: risk it. So that after like the third attempt bones,
29:18
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm done. So they didn't get to hear
29:19
Speaker 1: any of that. I don't know what was wrong in mine.
29:21
Speaker 1: I plugged it in and plugged it back. I checked
29:23
Speaker 1: the pack. Nothing. So we land and I'm gonna pause
29:27
Speaker 1: for a second. We'll come back to the story and
29:29
Speaker 1: remind you the Draft Kings and Whistles we're a team too.

32:05
Speaker 1: we're flying over his creation. There are a bunch of
32:08
Speaker 1: people lining up to get in the building for the game,
32:10
Speaker 1: like this is just beautiful. He was talking about what
32:13
Speaker 1: was important to him when he built it, meaning it
32:16
Speaker 1: was for all the people there, but he wanted it
32:17
Speaker 1: to be a masterpiece for the fifteen million they are
32:20
Speaker 1: also watching it that day, and how he wanted that.
32:26
Speaker 1: When when we were going around and showing different parts
32:28

Speaker 1: We land and there are a lot of cowboys fans
32:41
Speaker 1: that no, Jerry's chopper lands there and they are surrender.
32:43
Speaker 1: They're like Jerry and he gets out. He was so
32:47
Speaker 1: generous with his time, and this was consistent throughout the day.
32:51
Speaker 1: But he walked over, it was like, Sam, what's up
32:55
Speaker 1: to to them? He was just grateful they were there.

Speaker 1: Jerry Jerry, and he goes, look, they're big fans of yours.

33:16
Speaker 1: such a star there. There wasn't a they were just like,

Speaker 1: We hopp in some SUV's right up right up there.
33:25
Speaker 1: There's people everywhere, and Jerry's like waving saying hi to people.
33:28
Speaker 1: He's like a politician, but he doesn't need their votes.
33:31
Speaker 1: He's just saying hello. It feels like they're valuable to him.
33:37
Speaker 1: He's valuable to them, they're valuable to him. Boom. So
33:40
Speaker 1: we go, we go underneath and he goes, we're talking.
33:42
Speaker 1: It's a work area where you drive underneath, like the bowels,
33:45
Speaker 1: but it's spotless clean. And he says, it's important to
33:49
Speaker 1: me that this is super clean because if this is
33:51
Speaker 1: spotless clean, the rest of it's gonna be immaculate. So
33:55
Speaker 1: we land our car stop. We got multiple SUVs. We're
33:58
Speaker 1: all in. I'm running with Jerry. So it's Caitlin and
34:00

35:09
Speaker 1: we go. That's where we went down on the field,
35:11
Speaker 1: and there's a rope for people that have access, but
35:13
Speaker 1: then there's no rope for people who have all like
35:16
Speaker 1: like they just let us do whatever we want. We
35:18
Speaker 1: had all acts if you guys have like passes or anything,
35:20
Speaker 1: or we did nobody questions because we had like Jerry's
35:23
Speaker 1: people with their rolling with the owner. And then Jerry

35:39
Speaker 1: just to in turn on the show, Eddie screams every
35:41
Speaker 1: player's name, every single player I saw that I recognized,
35:44
Speaker 1: I would screen their name, but I didn't realize after
35:46
Speaker 1: like the second player. They're wearing like headphones and a
35:49
Speaker 1: lot of them had buds, you know, they go in
35:51
Speaker 1: the rear. That's why you can't hear me. Guy Letty
35:53
Speaker 1: yell that digs and he thought Caitlin was yelling at him,
35:55
Speaker 1: so he like smiles at her and he's like I
35:57
Speaker 1: kind of like got in the way jealous between them,
35:59
Speaker 1: and like waved back at him. Yeah. So we're on
36:02
Speaker 1: the field and Jerry's hanging out and he's like, hey,
36:04
Speaker 1: Bobby squaks some pictures. Jerry's like, let's cook. He takes
36:06
Speaker 1: the pictures out here. The owner, the main guys like ranked.

Speaker 1: So we take pictures and he's like, whom it's all
36:13
Speaker 1: for you? The like is anybody else? Does else live
36:15
Speaker 1: here that you know whatever? And I said, well, Caitlin's

Speaker 1: them down here. So they're gonna get Caitlin's parents and
36:23
Speaker 1: bring them down on the field. He takes pictures with them,
36:25
Speaker 1: he says, I spends time with them. We go in
36:29
Speaker 1: to the press room, all of us I think Jerry
36:33
Speaker 1: goes to get some water, some to eat real quick.
36:34
Speaker 1: He hops out real quick, and we're just getting ready
36:36
Speaker 1: to the interview. Put a couple of chairs up there,
36:37
Speaker 1: and there's the podium and I'm just messing around and I
36:40
Speaker 1: I get up on the podium. All right, guys, thank
36:41
Speaker 1: you for coming by press conference. I know it was
36:43
Speaker 1: second in two, but I decided to punt because I
36:44
Speaker 1: felt like that was the right hall in the Super Bowl.
36:46
Speaker 1: Just being stupid when he slides in the side and
36:48
Speaker 1: starts tackling me from the seats for the reporters, he
36:51
Speaker 1: sits down as he's a reporter and starts tackling Bobby.
36:54
Speaker 1: Really yeah, what was he saying? He was like, Hey,
36:57
Speaker 1: you kiss anything recently, because you can probab kiss your job. Goodbye.
37:01
Speaker 1: He's like, Fish, go ahead and finish what you're gonna say.
37:03
Speaker 1: That's the last time you'll ever say go to this team.
37:08
Speaker 1: And so we sat down and we do the interview.
37:11
Speaker 1: I ended it. I didn't have a time. I was
37:13
Speaker 1: looking at the game. The game was starting like twenty
37:15
Speaker 1: five minutes, but I was like, I don't want to
37:17
Speaker 1: keep them all day. They never pressed me to in
37:18
Speaker 1: the interview, but I was like, we did whatever it was,
37:22
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna end it out of respect, and you
37:26
Speaker 1: heard it. Yeah, he was just gracious and generous with
37:29
Speaker 1: his answers. I mean, I couldn't be a bigger fan
37:31
Speaker 1: now the arc, this small town of Arkansas, I think
37:34
Speaker 1: definitely was a bond between us. Oh yeah, for sure.
37:36
Speaker 1: You could hear it in his voice too. And we finished,
37:39
Speaker 1: We went to we went up to his suite and
37:42
Speaker 1: he was like, I'm gonna go sit with the Scouts
37:43
Speaker 1: for a while. A sad come up there and I
37:46
Speaker 1: was like, well, or you can stay like down with
37:48
Speaker 1: in the box too, because it's like two layered. We
37:51
Speaker 1: did that when set and eight, I wanted to hang
37:53
Speaker 1: out with my friends to Eddie and Mike, and also
37:54
Speaker 1: wanted to not bother Jerry anymore because he dedicated so
37:57
Speaker 1: much time to us and so we ate food and awesome. Uh.
38:02
Speaker 1: Talked to the Senator, talked to the somebody from the House.
38:06
Speaker 1: Kender Scott, talked to kender Scott did I talked a lot,
38:09
Speaker 1: but the woman from the Texas House representatives about legalized
38:13
Speaker 1: and sports gambling. Because I will I talk to governors
38:15
Speaker 1: about this part of what I do is to talk
38:18
Speaker 1: about the benefits for the state, for the people, and
38:23
Speaker 1: why at times it's hypocritical for them to say no
38:25
Speaker 1: because of other precedents that have been said. And her
38:27
Speaker 1: and I had this whole conversation about it, and he's like,
38:29
Speaker 1: oh god, you gotta started. That's her thing too, that's
38:32
Speaker 1: her agenda too. Like we were just really aligned on that.
38:35
Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys one, oh, barely. I feel like
38:39
Speaker 1: they scated into the game like this Texans who I
38:41
Speaker 1: had that feeling too. Then they want at the end,
38:43
Speaker 1: they knew they had to do it, and they did it.
38:44
Speaker 1: Thank god. Let me tell what was tough for me,
38:46
Speaker 1: because you know, it's game day and I watched these
38:48
Speaker 1: these games and when there's a bad pastors, I'm like,
38:51
Speaker 1: damn it, Dac, You're like, no, don't get the ball
38:53
Speaker 1: to Zeke. Couldn't do that when in the owners of
38:55
Speaker 1: it's like you can't criticize on what they're doing there.
38:58
Speaker 1: And the guy was playing who was setting our seeds
39:01
Speaker 1: for fantasy because I needed to win to get the
39:04
Speaker 1: two seed for a bye. He had Tony Pollard and
39:07
Speaker 1: Paulard scored the first two touchdowns and like I was happy,
39:10
Speaker 1: but I was also like, god dag it bones is
39:12
Speaker 1: trying to find red zone on the pulled up well.
39:15
Speaker 1: I pulled up reds on my phone on YouTube TV
39:18
Speaker 1: and Kalin's like, I get it, but not here stop
39:20
Speaker 1: that crowd. Were you sitting up above everybody though? Or
39:23
Speaker 1: no or down below? People can see in the box
39:26
Speaker 1: in the middle of the middle, but it's like it's
39:27
Speaker 1: a massive It's not your regular box, and even a
39:32

41:26
Speaker 1: the fact that everything happened according to plan is still
41:29
Speaker 1: mind blowing. You too. And I was expecting at one
41:31
Speaker 1: point for me not to be a part of something
41:33
Speaker 1: like for me, oh, there's not a spot on the helicopter,
41:35
Speaker 1: there's not a spot in the sue. I was expecting them, like,
41:38
Speaker 1: you know, just not to be a part of it.
41:40
Speaker 1: And the fact that I got to experience everything there
41:43
Speaker 1: was amazing, and I think I soaked it up at
41:45
Speaker 1: one point when I was eating wacamole watching my favorite
41:49
Speaker 1: team come back winning. It was amazing. It's special, a
41:54
Speaker 1: special day, and thanks to Tad, thanks to Jerry. I mean,
41:58
Speaker 1: I come away from it because you know, I have
42:00
Speaker 1: a job where at times I can become jaded because yeah,
42:06
Speaker 1: I have a couple of TV shows and I have
42:07
Speaker 1: this massive radio show. When we talked to celebrities, and
42:10
Speaker 1: it just becomes almost like a factory in and out.

Speaker 1: Most famous people, if they're fine, it's like regular people.
42:19
Speaker 1: Some you don't like, some of you do. They have
42:22
Speaker 1: a talent that culturally we've deemed important, so we spent
42:25
Speaker 1: a little time with them. Um, but this trip just
42:30
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me that it doesn't matter what's up.
42:34
Speaker 1: People are still people, and some people rock. He didn't
42:37
Speaker 1: have to be that nice to us. He wasn't gonna
42:41
Speaker 1: be mean, but he could have been just nice and hey,
42:44
Speaker 1: and we have thought it was the coolest thing ever.
42:46
Speaker 1: Even just to walk on the field to a five
42:48
Speaker 1: minute interview would have been like, dang, that was the
42:49
Speaker 1: coolest thing have to He was like attend an extra
42:54
Speaker 1: attentive human for the sake of being an extra attentive human.
42:58
