Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The same time, the song wasfeatured prominently in some sort of game where
he raced around and did tricks ona jet ski on either PlayStation or at

(00:22):
some point I remember it? Didyou excel at it? I was decent,
but I just remembered the song bangingall the time while I was riding
around on my little bix jet ski. Could you consider the song a banger?
I called a banner? Yeah,I believe that is a third eye
blind? Is that right? Idon't know what songs called, but oh
wait, no, I didn't makemy life. H doo doo doo doo

(00:45):
do do well? It's Cowboy Fridayand we are out today at Pluckers in
Plano. You'd like to come outand join us? What are our coordinates
out here? Parker in Preston.Parker and Preston. Yeah, park is
the road that the beer barn wason. If you work your way a
little bit east, that's where Iused to take my fake ID to buy
thirty packs of Keystone Light. Yousit the beer barn at Parker and Greenville

(01:10):
slash Avenue K slash Highway five slashwhatever else you call it. Were you
successful in that all the time?All right, can you get like retroactively
in trouble for that? Hope?Not hope. I was seventeen until I
went to college, so we workedfor a long time. The only threat
was my parents. Yep. Theydid not want Jeffrey drinking. Hey boy

(01:34):
stole my fake ID one time andI had to get a new one.
My dad, I think, wentup to the beer barn and yelled at
the guy my son is not twentyone? Was it actually you? Or
was it there's an idea that lookedlike you was me. I drove out
to a rock wall or rallt andthere's just this little storefront that's not open
every day. It's just a signin the window that says call us,

(01:55):
and you call him in fromy Bucks. You call him and tell him what
you want. Yeah, you callhim when you go to tell you,
you're like, hey, I wantto have an ID made. And they'd
come up and you'd go in andthey take a picture and they're like,
all right, what state do youwant? And they have a quote replica
ID where it's really just a souvenir, but they right, they ask you
what's your birthday? And I waslike nineteen eighty one, and they're like

(02:17):
cool, nineteen eighty whatever. Sodid you get a new Jersey idea in
Oklahoma? I thought it was mostplausible because we're near Oklahoma, and if
you have a Texas one, that'sa felony. Ye. Yeah, smart,
So you want to have an outof state one because that's just a
misdemeanor. You hear that? Kids? Yeah, I bet your lesson of
the day, that's right? Thatand dop jar? What's that lessons of

(02:38):
the day? Okay, well,let's see do we have something to give?
All we have to give is oncein our bucket? All right,
in our bucket today? Figure in, I have a lot of different ways
we can talk Cowboys football. SoI figured three o'clock and four o'clock will
probably be Cowboys football. And there'sone thing that I don't know how to

(03:04):
handle. I need you guys's advice. Okay, if you, guys,
make an observation about something that youwant somebody to do and then they do
it and then it works, howdo you say hey, look at me
without saying hey, look at melike you don't want to sound cocky and

(03:27):
be like, guys, I toldyou that I'm so smart. All right,
Let's go back to the observation partof this. Okay, So do
you observe somebody doing something? Iobserved the Cowboys play the first half of
football, and then I fired offa thought about something that I would try
to do in the second half differently, okay, and then and they did

(03:52):
and it worked, and this makesyou wind up looking very good. But
how do you take your victory?Laugh when you do radio without sounding like
a douchebag? You don't, youknow? Can't you just go ahead and
sound like one? Do you justown it? You go loud and proud.
Yeah, go loud and proud man. All right? So I watched
believe me, anytime I get anythingat all, right, I'm loud and

(04:13):
proud with it. I don't carewho knows it, all right, all
right, let me go find myexact thought. So we reached halftime,
and in the first half, Idon't know if you guys watched the Cowboys
football game where they defeated Seattle.Yes year. Yeah, I was fighting
the dude Perfect broadcast. Though alot of the game I saw you tweet,
Dude Perfect about how your son wasstill up? Do they like recognize
those? Yeah? He was tryingto get on TV. Oh, he

(04:34):
was calling me from the back ofmom, take my picture, Jude Perfect,
He'll put me on TV. AndI tried, but he didn't get
on TV. The meat Loaf,I don't know what she's doing back there,
so I was gonna have to explainall this to me. Dude Perfect
is a weird bit, right,I do like trick shop stuff? Is
this weird? Al? No,dude Perfect? So Ben and Skinn are

(04:57):
friends with the dude perfect people.I don't know if few are, but
like I saw him at a golfcourse one time. I was golfing with
Ben and or skin Price. SkinBent only golfed one time and took an
eight hour uber home. At theturn and skin saw a dude perfect guy
on a different hole, and sowe just stopped for ten minutes so they
could talk because they're buddies. Butdude perfect is like a thing. I

(05:18):
bet it started on YouTube or somethinglike that. Yeah, well they were
aggies, right, and they didit. Maybe they were doing trick shots
from from an n doing it onFine whatever. Money joining the presentation G
Money, G Money's in studio ofcourses, Michael Ruber's on location Hello but
dude perfect does like trick shots whereand then they cut it together audio or

(05:41):
video wise, so it looks likethey were like, I bet I can
throw this football seven thousand yards throughthat basketball goal that's on an island and
we're in an airplane, and itprobably takes them twelve thousand takes. Yeah,
it generally takes a few takes,but still it's pretty neat. They
get rid of all the other takes, and so it looks like they're just
the best trick shot artists of alltime. And they're fine and funny and
all that, and so the kidslove them. The kids love them.

(06:02):
Yeah, they're all right, Okay, good dud, it's good, dude.
All right. So I'm watching afootball game and it was the Cowboys
that were playing in the football game. And they get to halftime, and
one thing that was happening a lotin the first half is it was pretty
clear the Seattle Seahawks, even thoughhe has five interceptions that he's scored touchdowns

(06:23):
on, decided Deron Bland is thedude they want. They want DK Metcalf
and they want Deron Bland. Yes, and they're going to it, and
my god, it's working and it'slike, dude, is Deron Bland gonna
be able to hold up to this? Is he gonna fold up? How
is this going to go? Andat halftime I just had a thought and
I said, traveling is hard.Traveling in football if you're out there and

(06:46):
you're not familiar, means that acornerback will find a receiver and that's my
dude, no matter where he linesup, I'm covering him. The Cowboys
haven't played that way this year.Deron Bland plays on the defenses right,
Stefan Gilmore plays on the defens's left, and Jordan Lewis plays the slot.
That's how they play. So athalftime in this game, I was like,
traveling's hard with how offenses move guysaround, but you might want to

(07:10):
have Stefan Gilmour cover DK whenever youcan. Let the vet deal with the
giant man. Second half, firstplay, Stefan Gilmore is lined up on
the wrong side of the field becausethat's where DK metcalf Is, Ah Dan
Quinn and me simpatico. Yeah,so it's really fun. On the second

(07:30):
drive when they tried to throw abomb to DK, where Deron Bland would
normally be and it was Stefan Gilmore. He broke it up and on the
next play I believe was Deron Bland'sinterception covering Tyler Lockett, which I just
thought that matchup was better because sometimes, like Deron Bland has been incredible,
but sometimes when you're playing against somethingand it just seems like a bad matchup,

(07:50):
Yeah, I think what you dois you go, it's like a
kid, right, Deron Bland isthe kid because he's the youngster you go
to school, the bully who's biggerthan you, who's overpowering you, and
like, what am I going todo about it? The answer it's called
dad. Dad's been through everything,and so that was my version of,
Hey, let dad handle that.Stefan Gilmore has been in a lot of

(08:13):
these wars. There's not really awide receiver type that he hasn't seen or
played against. Let that dude dealwith not Megatron Megatron, Let that dude
deal with the Transformer. You godeal with a regular sized human. And
the Cowboys did it and it ledto all of a sudden, Hey,
life ain't so easy. Just throwingto the six foot four to forty pounder

(08:37):
on Dern Bland. You can dealwith a guy who's been doing this for
over a decade in this league andhas seen it all. He'll deal with
that guy. I mean, itdoesn't it make sense to switch up the
coverage if something isn't working and someone'sjust continuously getting beaten there, It's oh,
yeah, it's just that they haven'tsee that done very often. I

(08:58):
guess at home, the Cowboys haven'tit this year. Ever, They've never
done that. Those two dudes stayon their side. Whichever wide receiver lines
up outside on that side, that'stheir guy. So they figured that has
never made any sense to me.Yeah, and so traveling does not happen
much in the NFL at all anymore. Back in the day, most of
the best guys would cover the bestguy. Dian Sanders was going to cover

(09:20):
Jerry Rice wherever he went. Hewas gonna cover Mike l Irvan wherever he
went. In today's NFL, mostguys play left or right corner, and
they don't do a lot of following. And honestly, for this team who
hadn't done it all year, it'skind of a desperation last ditch because when
you think about it, there isa challenge there, like drown. Bland

(09:41):
had already changed positions this year.He was playing the slot Trayvon Diggs got
hurt. Now you're playing outside.It's a whole different ballgame out there.
The routes you see are different.Everything is different when your footwork is used
to the sideline being on one sideand not the other side. Yeah,
that's that can be challenging. Butthey did it. That makes sense.
But they did it and it worked. And so we salute dan Quinn for

(10:05):
his only good thing he did yesterdaybecause the defense was But so you know,
you know what might have happened isthose punters who were really bored and
they were cruising X. They mighthave seen your tweet, okay, and
then they took that tweet and theytook it straight to dan Quinn and they
said, look at this guy,he's onto something. Okay, you know,

(10:26):
yeah, the punters were just reallyfucking out the scene and yeah,
they were bards, they were cruisingX. Yeah. So that was I
thought that was cool that the Cowboysdid that. And then I was surprised
and I got real cocky on Twitter. I was like, you guys,
see the Jeff defense break up thatpass. You'll see the Jeff defense get
an interception because it's my idea,dan Quinn clearly defense. Yeah. Dan

(10:46):
Quinn went in at half and hewas on his burner account and he's like,
what's Jeff thinking about this thing?And he checked it out. And
I always wonder that, I mean, everyone in the world has thoughts on
every single play in a Cowboys game, Like, is somebody reading these tweets
and take, you know, thereally good ones and presenting them like,
hey, how about we try thisso and so on Twitter actually has a

(11:07):
really good point and this isn't working. I bet it's happened. I bet
it has. Yeah, I betthere's a bad coach out there that's no
Actually, you know what I actuallythink maybe not that exact thing where it's
you know, Todd on the couchis firing off tweets and he coached like
good idea. But I do thinkin the NFL there is way too much

(11:28):
of coaches doing like this is whatI do and this is what I coach.
When I would think that all ofthe best coaches would just go,
Okay, we're playing who what dothey like to do? Here's what we're
gonna do. Yeah, but it'slike, no, my defense is a
three to four and we play covertwo and like, what are you doing
there? Just do something that works. I coach defense, and I coach
whatever works. Yeah, that wouldbe the best. Like, if I

(11:52):
were an NFL offensive coordinator, I'dhave to learn a lot about football because
I wouldn't know the first thing totell the offensive line or the quarterback or
the running backs. But I couldtell her. Probably don't do that job
though, Okay, but if Iwere an offensive coordinator, I think I
would. Every week you're watching thegames and then you watch a team play,
and the best teams do this atleast somewhat. And you see a

(12:13):
play and you go, wow,that was awesome. Rewind what was his
route? What was his route?How are we blocking this? Boom boom
boom? And it practice on Monday, I'm like, guys, we got
a new play and this is we'regonna do. Like I remember one of
them that the forty nine ers did, and they did they stole it literally
the week before from a college gamewhere it was like it was so wild

(12:33):
ass. It was like you takethe snap and there's like one of the
receivers is running in motion from leftto right and you fake it to him.
You fake a screen to the left, but then your quarterback spins around.
It's like, haha, it's actuallya screen to the right. And
then when he fakes out, whenhe goes, actually, aha, it's
the tight end down the middle,the only guy running a route and he's
wide open. And Kyle Shanahan sawthat in the college game and he just

(12:54):
went, Okay, I think that'sthe best coaching is Wow, that looks
good. Run it. There's onlyso many things you can do with a
certain amount of players, right,So why not take some tips from other
people when you see them? Howmuch of this is do you think is
these guys just needing to be remindedof this stuff? Because these coaches have

(13:15):
been in football for years and years, and I find it very difficult to
believe that there's that much new underthe sun in this game. But I
mean, I can see where thingscould just get away from you. I
do think offensively, you can lookat the last like two years, and
it's probably the last ten, butthe amount that it is cranked up in

(13:37):
the last two it's fairly new thatregularly you have wide receivers running somewhere as
the ball is being left that guyshave gone in motion forever, like please,
will you show me if you're inmanner zone? But the level to
which it's done and how often it'sdone is ten times what it was three

(13:58):
or four years ago. They're alwaystrying to find something. It's new for
the Cowboys. The number of timesthat you'll see a guy that is if
you think of motion, If youthink of a guy going in motion at
football, I think most people thinkI'm on the right and I'm gonna run
over to the left. I wentin motion. For the Cowboys, it's
new this year that they will havea guy who's lined up on the right

(14:18):
already run further right and he's runningtowards the sideline at the snap of the
ball. I think you're always,you're always figuring out something. The who
is the defensive coordinator. There isa defensive coordinator in the NFL right now,
and there is a college in thesame town and he's become very intrigued

(14:39):
by what they do defensively and he'sjust started doing it in the NFL.
I want to say it's in Pittsburghand he likes what the University of Pittsburgh's
defense does, and so now Ithink it's the Steelers. They have the
most plays in the NFL where theyrush six people and they have the most

(15:01):
where they rush three people. Hebasically alternates all out blitz and all out
coverage. It's just, yeah,there's they're always there's always fiddle fart and
going on in football where you're figuringstuff out. I bet their minds never
rest, you know. If you'rea dolphinsive coordinator, that's all you're ever
thinking about. Yes, And Ithink Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan, the

(15:26):
Dolphins head coach and the forty nineers head coach, like they're the motion
gods of the NFL. Every singleplace, somebody's running from somewhere to somewhere.
And it's not a jogging around thing. It's a sprinting thing because he
needs to be a threat. AndI bet those dudes' eyes just keep moving
while they're doing nothing at home.It's just something needs to be moving at
all times. A little kids aredoing it. My eight year old's team

(15:46):
did motion got to you gotta doit, and he was the snapper,
so he had to learn a newsnap where he could hit the guy in
motion. Oh yeah, oh yeah, very intense, not even kidding.
I want that Dolphins show a couplenights ago. There's a show. Yeah,
there's a show about them, andMike McDaniel is prominently Oh I want
to watch that. Didn't Oh,I want to watch that man. He

(16:07):
is an interesting cat dude. He'swild, kind of a huge nerd.
Yeah, but he's kind of supercool. He definitely smokes a ton of
pot. And I bet he playsXbox Oh yeah, for sure. But
he was cool too things. He'scool because he's like funny. Yeah,
the funny part makes him cool.Yeah. And they always talk about you
know, this guy is unlike anycoach out there, and you see this

(16:30):
and I'm you know, after watchingjust a couple of episodes of it,
I believe it. You know,he stole his current wife from a player
of his. No, I didn'tknow that the current wife from a player
of his. Well, he hadto talk. He had to address it
last week and it happened in liketwenty ten. But I guess whoever was
broadcasting the game brought it up.It might have been al Michaels uh And

(16:53):
he was like, okay, Sothe skeleton of that story is correct,
but it was like he was workingin the one of the not NFL leagues,
like the USFL, and he wasthe offensive coordinator and they were having
a team party and a player waslike dancing with some girl that he had
started dancing with and met like fortyfive seconds priory, and apparently Mike McDaniel,

(17:17):
his offensive coordinator, joking, hewas like, hey, hey,
back up, dude, I'll cutyou from the team. And Mike yeah,
So Mike McDaniel dances with this ladyand it ends up being his wife,
the mother of his children. Sohe's like, like, He's like,
I was obviously in that moment jokingwith a player. He's like,
Plus, it was right, it'smy wife. It ended up it worked

(17:41):
out. I was right, well, and the player only had forty five
seconds on him right there. Theyjust started dancing. Yeah, he didn't
all around the dance plot till youfind one that worked. You know,
Tyreek Hill is a big player atthis thing too. What about it?
What's his deal? Well, Idon't know. They didn't really address it,

(18:02):
but he has made it known thatwhen his playing days are over,
he intends on getting into porn andwhat role I think he means acting.
I don't think he means directing,not as an executive producer. No,
I don't. I don't think theEP is for him. Okay, maybe
the folly making all the sounds?Oh? Maybe? Fully What do you

(18:26):
mean that's the job on movies andstuff where you make the sounds like leaves
crunching and stuff. Oh, exceptin those movies it would be a lot
more fun. Wait, people don'tmake real sounds by walking on lunds in
the movies. Oh, like that'sall added in later. Why would you
do fake? Was like in mostmovies? In most movies and stuff,
like the dialogue like that's recorded later. It's was it ad R like they

(18:48):
call it? You Okay, thissounds like six segments. You can't just
see. You can't just make commentslike that, like we know what you
mean. I'm sorry. They Yeah, I thought you might know. No,
I don't know nothing about it.I kind of yet, you're just
holding this from us. You aresome black holes for lots of information that
that most others know. Hey,you think most people know that? No?

(19:11):
But I don't get to bully peopleon many things I do acknowledge boy's
taking advantage of this is I feelso powerful. My knowledge gaps are,
they're documented, they are they involveeverything not called American football. But I
know those things. I am theauthority that would be part of folly.

(19:38):
You may find this hard to believe, but Tyreek Hill seem pretty normal in
this thing. However, his hismother did not. Oh what do you
mean feeling being the mother of them? Oh, pretty high toned NFL player's
son. That is an interesting thing, like how would you respond? How

(20:00):
many of us would just be anormal parent that is in the background and
no one ever sees you, Andhow many of us would be LeVar Ball
John Brant's dad. Yeah, he'spretty wheels off too. Yeah, there
are definitely some parents that the teamjust goes God, dogget Thank God.

(20:21):
This dude's super good because my headhurts every day. No, Dad,
you can't come to practice. We'rebusy. Well. I can't think right
now of what they call this showor where I saw it, but I
did see it the other night.It's pretty good and you should find it
and watch it too. I likeit. I'd like to recommend something to
you. Oh, okay, goahead, I buy Barry it's the documentary

(20:42):
about Barry Sanders retirement at a tenderyoung age of twenty nine or thirty.
And it's the first one where it'sthroughout it it's him. You're hearing from
him and his former teammates who werehis best friends and all those and it's
the best answer you'll ever get asto why a guy who, with all
due respect, and I know whereI'm sitting, I know what state and

(21:03):
city I'm living in. The guythat, if he decided to play until
he couldn't, would be the alltime NFL leading rusher and it probably wouldn't
be very close. But instead ofthat and walk out through it all,
I'm moving to Austin. It's likepeace, hold a follow Well, we
will have more Cowboys at four o'clock, as I have many things from this

(21:26):
game that we have not gotten to, including the cowboy on this team that
I now love so much. Butnext, it's time for some Hollywood swang
swang, Julie, where are wegoing? Little Alex Mac talk, No,
no Alex Mac talk, Alex Trantalk. No Alex Tran talk either.

(21:47):
But we do have a winner fromthe Golden Bachelor. I'm going to
tell you guys about that and whatsuperstar artist just dropped a surprise single on us
