Speaker 1 (00:00):
But you know what we're getting ready to do.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We're about to have a conversation with one of the
legends of the locker room, one of the best players
to ever play at the University of Texas. We got
a chance to kick it a little bit yesterday as
we were both at the HGB at in Georgetown. We
got a chance for him to sign some autographs. The
(00:23):
people were real excited to be with him. He is
one of the record holders. He scored a touchdown in
the championship or excuse me, in the Fiesta Ball. He
is my guy from the two five four. He is
the one, the only Kwan Cosby, Good morning, my brother,
how you doing.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The man two par four up and at him pretty
good man fired up. We had a good time yesterday
at the new ATV the Little bud Light Action and yeah,
great rock and roll.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So the funny thing about that is Kwan and I
we're both from the two five four. He's from Mark
I'm from Colleen, Texas, but we live in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I live in Fluteville. Quad lives in Austin.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
As we were driving to Georgetown yesterday, we felt like
we was going back to our original cities because that's
how far we was driving.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yes, no, Bro, we went in Georgetown.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
We was in Georgetown, Kentucky or Georgetown, you know, uh.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Georgetown by d C.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Man that we was up there. But it was fun though, Man,
a lot of great long orange. Uh the excitement for
you know that that new opening. Uh people someone like
I'm nine minutes from it. I'm in Florence, which tells
you how fault it is. But just cool event. Kudos
to Agnes all the people at the Brown Company, and
(01:48):
we already know hgbs to go so and always good
to have fun with long worn family and my brothers.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
I got a question for both of you guys. Are
y'all sample guys? Do y'all when y'all go to the
grocery store the shop, do you go to the aisle
where they have all the samples?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Bro does a.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Barre poop in the woods? You know, listen, hey, mark,
these groceries so high. I'm gonna get some of my
money back. So when I rolled through there, I want
some sample everything. It makes you feel a little bit
better because I got a small basket and I'm paying.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Three hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I just chip off man, I took a couple of samples,
so maybe that was like too eighty nine and so no, man,
And they actually typically have some really good stuff rolling.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
By, and so no, man, I'm at my appetizers.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You call it what you want, but I at ATV
a place that I trust. I'm sampling just about everything.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yes, sir, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
The funny thing was too when we were walking around,
you ended up leaving and you ran in the Phillip
in the Philip Geiger former Texas Longhort in the park
a lot and he came down the aisle and I
was like, you just missed Cwyn. He said, nope, I
saw him in the park a lot. I got a
chance to talk to him in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
On the way out. Man, longhorns everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Man, it was so good to see him and his
beautiful family. Brother and of course you know your grand
baby and son came by. So that's what it is, man,
that's what's so cool about this area. And Mark you
experienced it the same man. We run into each other
getting barbecue, you know, on Lamar. So it's it's just
it's so much love. It's a family perspective and seeing
all of our brothers and sisters and the family that
(03:28):
they grow.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It's real, man, So it's cool.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
We're talking to lifetime Longhorn and legend Kwan Cosby, one
of the best dudes out there, Quan. You know, we
talk a lot about this football team and what the
expectations are just as a fan base you coming into
a new season. What people don't truly understand about the
nuances that go into the ballgame when you're really pretty
(03:53):
much bringing in a brand new quarterback, brand new offensive line,
new wide receivers, and then put on top of that,
you have guys that are out.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Like you're running back.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Your two running backs that you expected to be an
integral part of your team.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Both of those guys go out.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You bring in a transfer in Emmitt Moseley at the
wide receiver position. He hasn't had a chance to play,
so there still is some chemistry issues on this football
team right now, correct, man.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
That's so real.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
One of the reasons I have to take off from
you guys is I was fortunate enough to go sit
down with Stark a little bit and do his show,
and we talked a lot about that, and this is
the cool thing, man, Well, one thing we have with
start is the transparency is real, man, And I know
he talked about the booze and that trickles down to
even arts talking about it, which I think is very
good for life and development. Amen, own it, talk about
(04:46):
it and do what you need to do to get better.
But I mean, there's eight out of our eleven offensive
starters that are you know, sophomores are freshmen. I mean
that's real. And listen, if you take away the Manning
name the national media, they would have been cool. We
would have been in the mix, would have certainly probably
still started top three, top five because of what our
(05:08):
defense had returning.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
But I don't know that it would.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Have been number one, and I don't know that there
would have been Heisman talking all the craziness.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
So unfortunately, in.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
The polarizing world that we live in, we were hyped
and talked about in.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
A crazy way.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But there is developmental things. And what we talked about
in sarca aswering that question is like, hey man, you
were a freshman. Now two things was very very different.
I was a freshman, but I had a veteran, Vince Young,
who had just won a Rose Bowl. After that, I
mean literally, arguably one of the if not the best
quarterbacks ever played in college football. And I don't mean
(05:42):
that in like a disrespectful way. He just he was
that good on that level. And there's a lot of
people who talk about it. And then we had a
veteran line. I was twenty two versus eighteen, so and
still looked like, you know, a deer in headlights for
the first few games. So man, it's growing pains, it
will grow. Yeah, you know, Arch owns it. Hey man,
(06:05):
I need to be better, and I truly believe, and
I have the optimism that he will be four five
really truly five new linemen. But Gooseby got some time
last year, so man, this stuff takes time. We got
another game this weekend that they can grow, and then
a bye week that is going to be so vital
for getting ready for a crazy October. So man, I'm
(06:28):
optimistic about it. And last but not least, the better
in part of them all, even though they have some
young kids too in defense, they're gonna get a chance
every freaking game that offense improved.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
We're gonna be where we need to be again.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
In my opinion, Kwan, we talk about the quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
We talk about the defense and all the other factors.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Being a wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Is there one guy over there that you look at
and go, Man, I'd love to sit down with him
and tell him what I see as an expert and
as an analyst, a coach, a former player.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
We were everybody's.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Kind of mesmerized right now by the shiny new toy
livingstone or livingstone. Who is it that you look at
over there and go, why the guy's got it? We
just he just needs to get a little fine tuning.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Man. That's such a great question mark. And truly, I
think it would be the collective group because especially those
what we so on, you know, quote unquote starters, you know,
because essentially we go there's a couple of kind of
little things about him catching the ball behind his eyes
when he runs that post. He kind of turns his
hand backwards like it's over the shoulder versus catching it
(07:40):
in front of him, because you just can't catch what
you can't see, and so it's it's I've seen him
make that correction. But unfortunately, and when it's full speed,
we go into some of those habits that we haven't
done because that dude is he's straight lined. He's a beast,
and he can be like a lot of the suite
that I played with who had a great career here,
and the irony of it is that was one of
(08:02):
his same little things and who a lot of people
didn't kind of notice to think about it. I didn't
see more in the last game, but I know he's
good and he's gonna be rolling. I think he could
play a little bit of a role like Golden did.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Golden we didn't see him the last week.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
You know, early in the season, but when he developed
and him and Quinn got on the same page, become
an absolute beast and first rounder who's still making plays
for Green Bay, and so I really think he can
do that. I think he's been open in some cases,
but that's some of the developmental things we're talking about.
So if he gets healthy and take care of business,
(08:38):
he's one of my favorites. I kind of sat with
him a couple of time at the basketball games, so
I actually have talked to him a little bit and
then living since. Kudos to him because he's doing exactly
what he needs to do.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
He's a great player. He's earned this way.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Who's also young, but because trade, you know, because Wingo
may have a guy over the top doubling him because
of his you know, because they know what he's capable of.
Levingson's getting the one on one coverage and he's taking
advantage of him.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So that that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And even though Art had a tough game, he is
making that play. He is progressing, he is seeing that
piece of it where all right, these guys are rolling
to their side. Livingson's over here and has to play,
and Livsine's making it. So it's fricking, which is so funny.
One thing I will say, I always go back and
rewatch the game. Oh man, I heard them.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh this is so much like the Coche McCoy and
George Shipley.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They let them beat them there.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We heard that their roommates and all that we heard
it five billion times back in the day. Let Manning
and livings and be roommates and be themselves. Because ultimately,
what happens in a fan base and then you start
putting them in that boat and the day they're not that,
you're gonna then start booing in. So I appreciate what
Livingson's doing because he's been huge for you know making
(09:59):
plays when the other guys are double, but collectively, Mark,
I think that's all just. This is the reason I'm
so optimistic, because I don't see anything that's so broken
that we're just we're done, We're screwed with, we miscalculated,
we don't have the Jimmys and Joe's. It's just the
little things about this game and about the continuity of
(10:19):
an offense that I know Sark and the developmental staff
he has will continue to work on and get better
throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We have no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And talking to you made me feel a lot better
last night makes me feel even better today.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Appreciate you jumping on with us.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I know you're a busy man, you got so much
stuff going on, but I appreciate you taking the time.
And we look forward to seeing what this Texas football
team does in the near future. Man as always, and
I appreciate you represent the two five foot as best
as we can.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Man. Appreciate you all already.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Man, he appreciate y'all having me on. I don't ever
have too much time to jump on with my two
five four brother and the goat my man, Mark Anders
so appreciate what y'all do, and I'll talk to y'all.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So all right there. He is, Kwan Cosby one of
the best to ever do it.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And people always talk about the roommate thing with Cope
and Shipley.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Kwan was part of that too.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He just didn't live with him because he was putting
up big numbers as well
But you know what we're getting ready to do.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We're about to have a conversation with one of the
legends of the locker room, one of the best players

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
