1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Right now we bring on Dallas Cowboys. Co oh Stephen Jones, Sir, 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: how are you today doing good? How you guys doing 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: doing well? We're good. We appreciate you working alongside with us. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for still doing this on Labor Day. 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. Now I know that there are a ton 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: of complexities to your job. Is this traditionally the busiest 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: weekend of the year for you and the staff, with 8 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: the cuts, with the signings, with the workings of the 9 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: waiver wire, with everything like that. Is this usually your 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: busiest weekend or like, how does this stack up versus 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: say the draft? Well, probably the draft probably still got 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: the most moving parts to it because of the length 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: of it. And you know we're leading up to, you know, 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: our time to make our cuts there on Saturday. You're 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 1: pretty much on the page with it. So know, you've 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: kind of been, uh not kind of been. You've been 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: sitting in personnel meetings for four or five you know, 18 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: different times. Usually there's eight or nine times, but this 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: year's four or five different personnel meetings. So you're really 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: getting your hands around who you want to have around 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: and as you see, you make very few moves. We 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: were really proud of our draft class, really proud of 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: our college freege and class, and knew that they were 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: going to make up the majority of our back end 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: of our roster as well as our practice squads. So 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, I think 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: we uh, you know, signed two new U two new 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: defensive our practice squad players, and we put a receiver 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: on the on the fifty three, so you know, there 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of uh, you know, a lot of changes. 31 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: And then I did leave out Brandon Car. Obviously he's 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: going on the practice squad and depending on how his 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: week goes, has the ability, uh certainly to move up 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: to the to the to play with the exemptions you 35 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: have now with the practice squads. I'm glad you mentioned 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: Brandon Car because obviously there was a lot of rumor 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: and innuendo about you guys going after a defensive back 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: that used to be associated with the Ravens, and as 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: we all guessed, it was Brandon Car. Yeah, probably not 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: what everybody was thinking, but you know, we have a 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: great history with Brandon. Last year he really did a 42 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: nice job for the Ravens, playing some safety and nickel 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: and great matchup with tight ends. So you know, just 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: he's always been somebody that we you know, really liked 45 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: in terms of having him around as a Dallas Cowboys. Certainly, 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: he takes great care of himself and you know, Phil 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: like when we get him, you know, getting him in 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: here is going to be a big plus for us 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: and that you know, he can really help out back. 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: There was there ever a plan to meet with Earl 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: Thomas or can you tell us anything about that? Yeah, 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: we can't really, I mean, I you know, don't like 53 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: to comment on players that aren't on this team. And 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: certainly we're real happy with our roster and makes a 55 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: couple of good additions there, but really, you know, at 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we're really pleased with the 57 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: makeup of our roster. Did you enjoy kind of the 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: the new rules with the differential in time of the 59 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: injured reserve and some of the things that you were 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: able to do. Did it make it more complicated? Did 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: it make it more fun? You know, it just takes 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: getting your hands around it, but it does, you know, 63 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: bring more pieces to the puzzle in terms of the 64 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: example list and the you know, the ability to move 65 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: practice squad players up, you know, without them counting on 66 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: your fifty three. So you know, there's a lot of 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: moving parts that are going to be interesting this year, 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: and certainly I think we've got our hands around them. 69 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of executing and you know, taking 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: advantage of anything and everything we can that are within 71 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: the rules. Dallas Cowboys Chief operating Officer Stephen Jones doing 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: us on the Cancy Masterpiece. I want to five through 73 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: the fan. Stephen, You're always watching the market for all 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: players involved. Obviously one of the most excited players on 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: this football team is one Dak Prescott. We saw Deshaun 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Watson get his four year, one hundred and sixty million 77 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: dollars contract this weekend. When you think about his negotiations 78 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: and how those will look going forward, is there anything 79 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: you would have changed, particularly with Dak Prescott's negotiations looking 80 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: back on it as the market has continue to evolve, 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, we just continue to want to get Dak signed. 82 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're totally all in on him. It's 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: just you know, finding that contract that makes sense for 84 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: both the Cowboys and Dak. And certainly, you know, obviously 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: you see other deals getting done as I think I saw, 86 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: We're Dak was quoted this saying that, you know, he's 87 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: fired up about his future here in Dallas and understands, 88 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: you know, some of these tech some of these things 89 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: can be different in terms of ultimately getting a deal. 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: But I feel very confident we'll get one, and you know, 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: of course, I'm sure Dak feels the same way. We'd 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: love to have it in the rear view Mayra, but 93 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: it's not will continue to address it and certainly feel 94 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: very confident that we ultimately get something done. We saw 95 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: the news that Lyle Collins and Sean Lee we're going 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: to go on the Injured Reserve Jordan Lewis, what is 97 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: Was there any surprise for those first two having to 98 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: go on i R and then what is the status 99 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: of Jordan Lewis even for this week or going forward. Well, 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: I think certainly as we got down through it, we 101 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: wanted it's a long season and Lyle and Sean have 102 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: been battling some things that we think it's just in 103 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: their best interest to really focus on getting one hundred 104 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: percent well and so so they were obvious. And then 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: of course Jordan Lewis and Gifford will be you know, 106 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: game time decisions in terms of whether they make it 107 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: this week or next felt like the latest it would 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: be the second game, and didn't feel like it was 109 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: the right thing to do to put them over there too, 110 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: good players that we can certainly use to win games with. 111 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: And then uh, you know, obviously Zager's a question mark 112 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: as well, but I think he's even further along than 113 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: than all of them. So I feel real good about 114 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: him playing and we'll just, barring some setback, we feel 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: good about it. Any other players that you might lump 116 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: on that list of we'll see if they can be 117 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: able to go because we're here, we're in the season now, 118 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: there were it's time to roll. But no, I think 119 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: those are the no, the biggest question marks of all 120 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: are just the our Giffers and Jordan Lewis and also 121 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: zab Now talk with Stephen Jones right here one oh 122 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: five through the family. We talk with Cherry on Friday, 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: and I asked him about Randy Gregory and the way 124 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: he phrases. He goes, oh, I'm well aware of everything 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: happening in the Randy Gregory situation. I wish he would 126 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: have just tipped us off that he was going to 127 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: get reinstated, that day. Did y'all have any idea of 128 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: the decision was coming down on Friday? And what is 129 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: your excitement level for him the football player and him 130 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: the human. Well, I'm first of all fired up about 131 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: him the human. He's certainly made a lot of progress. 132 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: He's really doing well as a person and off the field. 133 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: And then of course it goes with half saying what 134 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: we think about him as a player. He's he's a 135 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: really gifted football player that you know, it's made a 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of plays for us a couple of years ago, 137 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously he's coming back and it's just 138 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: going to add to what we think is a you know, 139 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: a really stout defensive front. And you can't have enough 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: of these pass rushers, and you know, being able to 141 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: keep them fresh is so key. Some of these guys 142 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: that you know, when you need him the most late 143 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: there in the fourth quarter, they've you know, they're they're 144 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: they're mixed out and you know, fighting the fatigue part 145 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: of it. And you know, if we can keep these 146 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: guys fresh throughout the game and you know, keep their 147 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: pitch count to a level where they can be firing 148 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: on all cylinders when we need to stop somebody in 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to win the game. Then certainly he 150 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: adds to that, and he's a really true blue pressure player, 151 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: and I feel really good about the progress he's made 152 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: and feel really good that he's all in on getting 153 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: to the football field. Dallas Cowboys Chief operating Officer Stephen 154 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: Jones doing us on the KNCI masterpiece on one oh 155 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: five Through the Fan made some new Stephen over the weekend. 156 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: With Tristan Hill and his role on this football team, 157 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: can you expound on how good you're feeling about him 158 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: and how he's been able to put himself in this 159 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: kind of position to be a potential starter on this team. Well, 160 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: my hats off to him. Obviously, he was in a 161 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: situation last year where we had, you know, quite a 162 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: few guys there that he was competing with and plush 163 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. He's grouped in where we've been very 164 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: fortunate that a lot of our rookies have stepped right 165 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: in and played. But you know, he got his seat 166 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: went last year and in no way where are we 167 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: down on him. I think sometimes when you know you 168 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: have a rookie who's inactive for a little bit, you 169 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: tend to, you know, everybody tends to want to point 170 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: too well as he you know, did they did they 171 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: miss on him? Did they hit on him? What happened 172 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: to him? And certainly he showed about it while we 173 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: were so optimistic about him in the draft, picking him 174 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: there with our what turned out to be our first 175 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: pick that year, but with our second round pick, and 176 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's just come in and never missed 177 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: a beat when McCoy went down, and he's been one 178 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: hundred ten percent and really playing at a high level 179 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: right now and deserves to be the starter. Now. We 180 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: talked about this just a second ago, but we are 181 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: finally here. It is finally time to play football. Was 182 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: there a time at all over the last six months 183 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: that you or Jerry or the organization thought this thing's 184 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: not going to happen. Well, you know, to go through 185 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: all the varying views that you have of it. When 186 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: this virus first hit you, you know, you're thinking, well, 187 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: this things way out there, we're gonna be fine. You know, 188 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: by the time our season rolls around, it'll be you know, 189 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: it'll be in the rear view mirror. And then of 190 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: course when it didn't didn't happen, and it kept you know, 191 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: kept staying around. Then we certainly realized that we had 192 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: a challenge. And uh, you know, my hats off to 193 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: the league office. I think our medical staff, but by 194 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: Jeff Miller and doctor Shills, have done an outstanding job 195 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: of putting a plan in place to not only keep 196 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: our players safe, but keep our coaching staff safe. I 197 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: say our football staff safe. And I think ultimately we've 198 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: got a great plan in place. Albeit I know some 199 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: people might raise their eyebrow out a little bit that 200 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: we can meet all the CDs CDC guidelines facially distance 201 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: and wear masks and uh, you know, have a have 202 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: a state environment for our fans to watch the Cowboys. 203 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: Albeit it won't be anything like uh, you know we 204 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: normally have in terms of having a full house. It's uh, 205 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be outstanding that, you know, we 206 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: have our fans out there. I think it'll be great 207 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: for our players to see how bad they want to 208 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: be out there and support them and just feel like, 209 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, after going through this for I guess over 210 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: a month now of really being in and around and 211 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: how we're testing and you know, how we're creating this 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: safe environment that you know, I feel like we're gonna 213 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: pull this off and that we're gonna have all our 214 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: games and uh, you know, we're gonna have a season, 215 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: which I just think it's outstanding. It's our players wanted 216 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: or a shaft wanted, or I know our fans want 217 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: to want to have it. So we're fired up about it. 218 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Chief operating Officer Stephen Jones doing us on 219 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: the Cancy Masterpiece. I want to fire through the fan, Stephen. 220 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: It is Labor Day, folks hopefully have some opportunities to 221 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: maybe take some rest and get the day off to day. 222 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: Tell us about the one time, Stephen where you may 223 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: have had to potentially work at Wendy's and what you 224 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: learned from that particular lesson that day. Well, it was 225 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: a you know, my father was believe it or not, 226 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: even though you know we were, he was very successful 227 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: when I was growing up. Uh you know, he was 228 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: very uh you know, very much a disciplinary and in 229 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: terms of one and not only made my brother and 230 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: sister to really have a good work ethic. And one 231 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: of the things he allowed me to do rather than 232 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: hold a job, was to was to work, uh you know, 233 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: work out, and that'd be my job I've been between 234 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: the lifting and the running. And I was a quarterback, 235 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: so I was throwing, you know, to make a day 236 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: and like you would holding the job, but a fast 237 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: food restaurant or something like that. One day he surprised 238 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: me and came home early, and I had a pool 239 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: full of friends and it wasn't our deal. So he 240 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: kind of gave me the oh, come this way, and 241 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: he had my suit laid out out on the bed 242 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: and said, hey, we're going for a job better for you. 243 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Obviously you can't. You know, you're not being accountable here 244 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: and you're not getting the job done, so we'll just 245 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: get your job.
