1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones joining us right here on one oh five

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: through the fan. Good morning, Jerry, how are you gone?

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Good morning? Or Jay? Good Bill? With you today. I

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time with us this morning. Jerry.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure in a jovial mood this time of the year,

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: with it being the holiday season. I'm sure you are today. Well,

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The way to get into Chrismus

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: spirit is to come home from New York under any

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: circumstances with a win, and especially this year, we've got

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: a team that's evolving. As as I'm fond of saying

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: that era is pointed up. We got better Sunday on

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, all phases. We got better,

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: and we got out of there without getting banged up

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: real bad. That's a big plus this time of year.

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: And again we've got some help on the way. We

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: right there without Osa and without Kristen Hill and those

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: guys or help on the way, there's no question about it.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: We've got some safety help coming, so that's all good.

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: We've got some tackle help coming with Tyrant Smith. So

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Hello Christmas. Do you how do you look at that like?

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel down after a victory, assuming there's

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: no injuries, right, do you ever feel down after a

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: victory or do you ever feel like up after a loss?

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Like is? Do you believe in in you know so

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: so wins and good losses? Now, if you look at

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: the way the league is structured, if you look at

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: how the draft to structure, and how we how players

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: are available, it's designed for teams to be five hundred

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: and boy, you've got to have you've got to have

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: had some extra energy someplace, little lady luck, someplace to

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: get out of that five hundred cycle. And consequently, those

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: wins are hard to get and so boy, when you

33
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: get one, have come to appreciate them. Jerry, when you

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: look at this team and where they are right now,

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: ten and four won three straight games on the road.

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: If I had told you at the beginning of the season,

37
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: with three weeks left in your season that you would

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: be tending for the number two seed currently in the

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: NFC playoffs, with an opportunity to possibly get to the

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: number one seed, what would you have told me at

41
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Well, I would have told

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: you after you told me, Jerry, you're not supposed to

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: start drinking this early. In the day, I would have

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: said you you can dream, can't you. But still I

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 1: don't want them to imply that we don't have those

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: kinds of aspirations. But we know how hard it is

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: to have that kind of one lost record, and to

48
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: do it, and to have a chance to be a

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: better team over this next month or six weeks is

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: really something rare in my experience. A better team. That

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: sounds so really almost like you are dreaming of Christmas

52
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. But we do have a chance to

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: be a better team. Do you think Tony Pollard right

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: now gives you a better ability to run the ball

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: effectively over Zeke the way Zeke's health might be. I

56
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: don't think so at all. I noticed and just as you,

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure saw the other day, they told poll that

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: that we Zeke takes on the defense when he with

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: his power, and that's that's very impactful in the game.

60
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: This is not finesse out here. This is hard nosed

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: football that we're trying to establish with that run. On

62
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: the other hand, you saw it. Pollard has such explosive

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: ability to hit the whole and so both of them

64
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: are frankly, are very compliment They're complimentary and so I'm

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: glad we've got them, and I'm glad they're as healthy

66
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: as they are. Jerry speaking on the running game, the

67
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: offensive line continuing to get itself as far as continuity

68
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: and consistency is concerned. What do we have on Tyren

69
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: Smith and his health going forward here, Well, I'm very

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: optimistic that Tyrone. I don't know about this week, but

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I certainly don't rule it out at all. We've got

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot of this week left, but for the longer haul,

73
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: longer haul being the remainder of the season and into

74
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I'm very optimistic. And of course there's no

75
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: one more incrementally valuable to us than Tyrn Smith, and

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: he makes a very huge, significant difference in how we

77
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: execute in the offensive line. The offensive line, frankly, because

78
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: you have to think of it as a unit. They

79
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: on each side of them, especially the guard, some centers,

80
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: they depend on real coordination, really blocking together, taking up

81
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: the slack for each other, as well as have to

82
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: deal with the physicalness of what goes on inside. Frankly,

83
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line is the biggest challenge that not just

84
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: this team, but on any team. The consistency, the ability

85
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: to play this game and not have penalties, as well

86
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: as be powerful and be physical. Those combination of things,

87
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: in my mind, make it the toughest job to coach

88
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: as well as playing. How do you look at, you know,

89
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: with Tyron and the position of left tackle, you know,

90
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: with his injury history and basically not having you know,

91
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: played a full healthy season in like five six years,

92
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: how do you prepare for that? And like going in

93
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: the next offseason, like, are you preparing that, hey, we

94
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: need to get a backup, a good backup in here,

95
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: or just keep a kind of status quo with his

96
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: health issues. As this is being reasonable, I'll take all

97
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: we can get a tying and don't want any time

98
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: without it if we can get it. So that means

99
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: that you'll deal with the fact that he's had times

100
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: when he was down. Having said that, you've got to

101
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: put an emphasis on a position flex, which means a

102
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: tackle that can go both ways or tackles. Notice in COVID,

103
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: we got to add for an active player an extra

104
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: offensive player and it had to be an offensive lineman.

105
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: And the reason for that is is those flex guys

106
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: that can lay two or three positions worn enough in

107
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: this COVID period of time you need the extra help there.

108
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: So it's recognized that the swing tackle the guys that

109
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: can come in for these tackles when you don't have

110
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: one or a critical position, And that's the way we'll

111
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: address Tyrant as we go forward. Just make sure we're

112
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: good at swing tackle. It's the Jerry Jones Show right

113
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: here on Son and r J right here on one

114
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: oh five three of the fan Jerry talking about this

115
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: defense that's been playing extremely well. Thirty one takeaways tie

116
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: for first in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. And

117
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: when you look at this defense, can this defense carry

118
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: this team to a deep run in the NFC playoffs

119
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: base on the way they're playing. Yeah, we talk about

120
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: our pressure and we should. But down the middle to

121
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: me is where we've had a real improvement on this defense,

122
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: right up the middle of whether it be the big

123
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: boys in the middle, the bigger boys that we've got,

124
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: we've got some quickness to the guys we didn't have

125
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: last week, or a really big quick guys. But then

126
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: what we've done with the uniqueness of our defense relative

127
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to using the the linebacker that in fact would be

128
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: traditionally a big safety, but yet have enough pop to

129
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: be able to be up there close the line and

130
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: make the linebacker tackle yet cover at the same time,

131
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: and to be able to utilize that and have the

132
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: numbers of safety types that we have out there is

133
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: real unique and we're taking advantage of it. And hats

134
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: off to Dan Quinn, hats off to Mike. This has

135
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: been a huge difference in our team this year. Do

136
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: you think when you get to the postseason and you're

137
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: facing Aaron Rodgers or luckily enough, get the super boy face,

138
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or something that you can basically expect to

139
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: get the amount of turnovers this team has been forcing lately. Oh,

140
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far, but I would say this,

141
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: if we can get in front of those kinds to

142
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: players with this pressure, we've got, this pass rush, we've

143
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: got that'll that'll really make a difference, and we haven't

144
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: had it and we can have it. And if we

145
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: can do that and continue to improve with what we're

146
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: doing in the middle, then we're better equipped to be

147
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: against those guys. And any time in the last many

148
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: years round here, Jerry, in your perspective and being around

149
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: championship teams and winning championships with this defense. What does

150
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: this current defense remind you of when you think about

151
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: some of the championship defenses that you've had in the past,

152
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: it gives you an idea that this team can be

153
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: one of those championship like defenses. Well, we had Hatcher,

154
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: we had where we had Ratler, We had those guys

155
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: when we back here, and I thought that was arguably

156
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: a combination of some of the best players who we'd

157
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: had on the interior. Beyond that, I'd had to go

158
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: all the way back to the nineties when we had

159
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: such a rotation in the defensive line and we really

160
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: had fresh guys out there all the time. And so

161
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: this group has the potential to have that kind of

162
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: talent without exaggeration, but have numbers. We've got fresh legs

163
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: that we can keep out there and keep those guys coming.

164
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I think that really gives rise to some optimism. Jerry

165
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Jones jon us here, I want to fire through the fan, Jerry.

166
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: The NHL is pausing their season through the Christmas holiday

167
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: due to COVID, Like, do you guys in the league

168
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: look at what the other leagues are doing, take cues

169
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: from them. How do you guys handle those kinds of issues. Well,

170
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: the fact that they're doing some postponing shows that we

171
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: all realize that we're in a bit of a crisis

172
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: right there. And I think the adjustments we've made this

173
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: past week really will be effective and have already been

174
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: effective as far as I'm concerned. We've got a for

175
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: all practical purposes, we've got a pretty inoculated population among

176
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: our players of players between having had the COVID at

177
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: least a form of the COVID, and certainly the vaccination

178
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: count is outstanding. Now. I'm not talking about the support personnel,

179
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: the coaches, or talking about the staffs of the different

180
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: teams that has a huge, at normally high rate of

181
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: vaccination there almost one hundred percent across the league. I'm

182
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: talking about the support staff. But our players, for all

183
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: practical purposes, are vaccinated as far as I'm concerned, and

184
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: the ones that haven't vaccinated have probably and exposed and

185
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: may have even had to COVID. What we're doing now

186
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: to supplement that and encourage them to get the booster shot,

187
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: encourage them to distance. What we're practicing as as for example,

188
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: as an example of what we're practicing with our meetings,

189
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: our virtual meetings our meetings spread out. All of that

190
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: will serve us well, and I think we will have

191
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: results from that. We just haven't had among players. We

192
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: just haven't had a serious COVID outbreak. We've had outbreaks,

193
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: but we've only had in two years one player hospitalized

194
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: and he's okay, But one player in two years hospitalized.

195
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Do you think we'll reach a point where a player

196
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: can play with COVID if he's vaccinated, he can play

197
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: a game while he has the virus? Well, I think

198
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: he can. Now. Your question is will we reach a

199
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: point where we knowingly allow that. I don't know about that.

200
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I'm not so sure

201
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: that I've seen us knowingly with a guy with a

202
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: bad case of the flu. We've let him get in

203
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: a quote contagious situation. That would be more about concern

204
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: for the other players then the individual. Can you play

205
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: with the flu? Of course you can. Now. I don't

206
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: want to speak to the virus because to my knowledge,

207
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: there's none reported. Although it would be madness to think

208
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: we haven't had players out there playing with COVID, and

209
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: although we've done an excellent job, we just don't have

210
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: that type of account. But the most important thing is

211
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: to I think that with the proper vaccinations, with the

212
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: proper boosters, with the proper protocol between spreading out and

213
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: how they how I vision a team being together and

214
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing. You say, well, they're beating heavy, they're

215
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: in the huddle, they're in clothes. How do they keep

216
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: from getting it? Well, we all know the cases of

217
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: husband and wives and one getting it in the other

218
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: or not. We know of those. And I've just experienced

219
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: one close end myself. Not in men, Jean, but I've

220
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: experienced that. So there's no rhyme or reason sometime about

221
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: why when people are close end one gets it in

222
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: one done, I think they can play with some Yes, Jerry,

223
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: before we let you go. Obviously, it's the holiday spirit

224
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: and Christmas is right around the corner. What's the one

225
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: tradition in the Jones household that has to be done,

226
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: whether it be on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day,

227
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: that you'll make sure that gets done. This time of

228
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the year, we love to beat the other one saying

229
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: Christmas gift when we see them on our equivalent of

230
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. Our celebration will when our bunch gets together.

231
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: The first one that beats the other one with Christmas gift,

232
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: but those the other one something. So we love to

233
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: do that, but it's about getting together. During all of

234
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: my years with family, I never tried to see both

235
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: my parents my family groups as well as spend time

236
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: with all family groups. Now, boy, that used to be

237
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: quite an affort. Hours of driving, late night rides, all

238
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But I looked back and I

239
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have traded any of that for all the war.

240
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: So those I've been very, very fortunate to have been

241
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: able to spend a lot of time during this holiday

242
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: season with family, both both when I had young children

243
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and both parents were alive, and both Jean's parents were alive.

244
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: We used to go to Red Hill, our duck hunting place,

245
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: and stuck out Arkansas, and I have slept in a

246
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: bed with as many as eight people in the bed

247
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: had stuck and we would have about forty of us,

248
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: and we would be in four thousand square feet with

249
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: six bedrooms in a big center room that you basically

250
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: use for your hunting lodge and just all pile in together. Well,

251
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: today those people are thirty and forty years old, and

252
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the thing that we remember most is all piloting and

253
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: having to sleep on top of each other and then

254
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: get up before sun up and go out and hunt

255
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: and disturb everybody and be up too late, all that stuff.

256
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: If you can stand about two or three days of it,

257
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: it's time to go home. But it bore what fun. Well, Jerry,

258
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: we appreciate your time. As always, We hope that you

259
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: and your family have a safe and merry Christmas and

260
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing the Cowboys on Sunday Night football

261
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: a gust to wash the football team to make it

262
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: four in a row. Thank you for the time Jay.

263
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: This morning, well, I hope the Cowboys do our part

264
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: for all of our fans out there. But I not

265
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: only wish you guys merry Christmas, but certainly those great

266
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans that are out there. It's been a life

267
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: of good feeling to be trying to work these cowboys

268
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: and give us a little Christmas joy. Thank you so

269
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: much for the time, Jerry,
