hearing us do our Iheartradios Think a teacher a month,
powered by donors Choose and this is where every day
we highlight a different teacher. You can go to iHeartRadio
dot com, Forward slash Teachers and nominate one and one
is going to win a five thousand dollars gift to

deck out their room and help give their students everything
they need. I mean, it's getting harder and harder on teachers.
There's budget cuts. But you have a great teacher, it
can change your life. We want to salute them. For example,
today we have Christina Salazar from Johnson Elementary School in

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Now it's around the sports KTD fun tweets as all
the sports.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, all right, I'm KT fun tweets today. And we
have talked a lot about the eight part Dallas Cowboys
documentary that's coming to Netflix. I'm getting really excited about this.
The more that leaks out, the more we hear about it,
the more the more I'm looking.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Forward to it.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Dude. It's something that we We've been around the story
for so long, not only growing up here but working
in sports media here. There's when they were talking about this,
I was like, Man, I've seen all this stuff. I
don't know that it's going to be anything new or revelatory,
but the more that comes out, the more pumped up
I get about it.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, me too. And it comes out this Tuesday, August nineteenth,
and I don't know if that means at midnight on
Monday or at midnight on Tuesday or what, but it's
supposed to come out on Tuesday. It's called a Team,
the Gambler and His Cowboys, and there's been a tremendous
amount of buzz around it. And they had what the
world premiere the other night is La La. I saw

(02:10):
a bunch of our media folks out there, a lot
of the guys from DLLLS out there and suits covering
it and stuff like that, and looks like a big deal.
This is gonna be the minute it's out, you can
binge watch all eight episodes, right, Yeah, I think I
think so.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
But one of the things that Dallas Morning News had
today and Brad Townsend had followed up on it is
that it was revealed that going all the way back
to twenty ten, Jerry Jones was diagnosed with stage four
melanoma and he had fought it with an experimental drug.

(02:46):
So this just comes just comes rut. He says. I
was saved by a fabulous treatment and great doctors and
a mirror, a real miracle drug. I went into trials
for the PD one and it has been one of
the great medicines I now have no So Jones, who's
eighty two now, started going to M D. Anderson in Houston,
which is one of the best cancer treatment facilities in

(03:08):
the country, started going that is fifteen years ago and
went through a whole decade of treatment and is now
tumor free.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Wow. A decade of treatment.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah. It so basically it did metastasize and that's the
thing with melanoma. Man. It spreads really quickly. And it
looks like in some of the research that the Dallas
Morning News did, and part of it is because it's
episode five of the documentary series in which he reveals it,

(03:39):
and so basically he's talking about relationships and things like
that and a doctor told him, he says this in
the documentary, you need to do a lot of meditation.
Make a list of ten people who can just boil
your blood. Start with the one at the top, and
wish for them the greatest things you can wish for.
And he says, at number one, I wrote down the
name Jimmy Johnson, and so pretty interesting. And you know,

(04:04):
within the some of the reading I did, it did
say that it spread to his lung, which I had
the same thing. You know, I had cancer and it
spread to my lung. And you know, once it starts spreading,
you you start worrying about it. Sounds like they got
to it and they cut it off. And Jerry saying
he's cancer free. But I can remember at times, you know,
covering him. You don't know how much of it is
age or how much of it is some other condition

(04:25):
that comes along with age, but thinking, man, he seems
off today. Well, hell, he was doing immunotherapy a lot
of the time during this stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
And I also think about just the amount of medical
care that a billionaire can get compared to the rest
of the world, right, I mean, he can get the
best possible medical care and to fight that fight. I
g It's just like you could get the best possible
lawyers to fight that fight. We had a friend of
ours who watched the first seven episodes. I don't know
how he got to, but he got to screened the
first seven episodes. He was telling me another one of

(04:54):
his favorite parts of this was finding out more about
the Switzer Apeman beef. And he said that Switzer went
to eight minute at some point and said that some
of the black players feel that he favors the white
players more. And he was just trying to tell Troy
that and Troy's like what And so apparently that killed
their relationship then and to this day they still don't

(05:16):
have a relationship because Akman was like, I'm not having that.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I can't wait to see that. There was at the time,
and I'm forgetting his name. There was a defensive line
coach from University of Oklahoma that was in the Cowboys organization.
And obviously he was here because he had ties to
Switzer and he was the one that was stirring all
of that up. I remember the story, and I'm blanking
on the name of the coach, but he was one
of Switzer's guys. And the thing that's interesting about that,

(05:41):
Remember Troy went to oh you first. It was you know,
he grew up and he was born in California, but
grew up in Oklahoma. So he went to OU and
left there and ended up at UCLA, and we all
know what happened after that.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I remember Michael Irvin's trial. He was the only one
there of all the teammates. Of all the teammates, Troyigman
was the only one there. And so I don't think
there's a racist bone in his body. I also think
Switzer is a fool and Aikman is not. And so
I would tend to lean on side Troy in that
and go, that's a pretty dumb ass thing to say.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, well, it's gonna be great lots of stuff in it.
When you have eight hours, you have a lot of
layers of the onion that you can peel back coming
up at five o'clock. A former Cowboy first round pick
is not happy with his own performance. Get in line, dude,
but coming up next in the Wildlife News, a crazy
story about Python's stick around
