diego recently yeah right california callaway had us out there. More Carlsbad, but yeah. Carlsbad, California. We dabbled with La Jolla, though. North of San Diego. We didn't dabble. We went straight into La Jolla. Callaway had us out there. Shoutouts to Hashtag Chad, AJ.

What's up? They had us out there. They did a product launch event. They launched a new Epic Flash driver, which mashes, by the way. What was your club head speed? Don't do cocky Dylan like some fake thing. What was your actual club head speed? Keep in mind I was swinging on a broken leg, but I touched 118.

I actually heard the guy. I was doing it next to you. I was getting fitted next to you. I heard the guy say, oh, you've got great club head speed. Last time I was on a track, man, it was 122. I'm just going to say that. 118, I dialed it down a bit because I was getting fitted for clubs. I wasn't trying to flex on everybody. 11 very respectable and i was mashing my first drive

with the driver before like any adjustments were made anything i uh i absolutely bombed my first one yeah the guy who was fitting me was like in awe and then i hit my second one and he just busted out laughing and he goes okay after your first one i was like oh this guy's then I hit my second one and he just busted out laughing. And he goes, okay, after your first one, I was like, oh, this guy's a scratch golfer. He's like, you just carried it like way too far and hit it dead center at the target. To be fair to me, to be transparent, I was actually aiming at the wrong target. So it was a terrible shot for me and it just looked good. Well, you know, now that you have that in you, you just need to do that. And then once we made the adjustments, i actually did start absolutely bombing it did y'all know that ai designed the the club face the driver face it's such a artificial big pivot for ai

to go from playing in the nba to actually just designing clubs one of the best point guards you know of that era if not best to never win at all. Sure. And here he is designing the best driver in the game. I think there's an argument. What about, like, Barkley? Barkley. Wait, did the mailman ever win one? No, the mailman didn't. Call him alone.

Call him alone. What an idiot, dude. Yeah, why didn't he just win one? Seems like he could have won one. Like, Jordan took two years off in his career. Just win one then. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, Houston stepped up.

Yeah. Hakeem got a couple anyway callaway event yeah it has flash face technology flash face so the face is designed by it's actually not alan iverson oh we actually talked to chris harrison about this later it's it's artificial intelligence so it's intelligence it's not not real not human it's not conscious entity. Why didn't they clarify that? Because I bet people are confused. I don't know. I was confused. I was just happy to be there.

I didn't want to call Chad out. Yeah. Anyway, at this event, like I was saying, Chris Harrison was there. So was Colton, the bachelor, Colton Underwood. We spoke to him, too. But this is all about Chris Harrison. We sat down with him. He's that boy.

We talked. Well, you're going to hear it in a minute. I probably don't need to preface it. Dude, you're prefacing this all wrong, Dylan dylan what we went to an event the night before it was kind of just like a mixer of sorts it was a launch mixer and those are the best kind of mixers yeah everybody's just launching went there and we chris harrison walked in and we were standing there and i was like oh chris harrison just walked in by the way well first of all way there were other celebs there first but we're like yeah there's a cool celebs.

Can I just say Chris Harrison rolled in about, oh, I don't know, two hours after it started. I think he was hitting the range. Probably. I saw him. I saw him on the range the next day. Our heads kind of whipped around when we got word that Chris Harrison was in the building. And we had been mingling with Michelle Wee, Bryce Butler was

in the building. Former Cowboy, great. Some other big time social media influencer types. Oh, your boy Bro in the building. Former Cowboy, great. Some other big-time social media influencer types. Your boy Brody. When Chris Harrison walked in, he was like, all right, all right, I see you. Yeah, that's when shit changed. Funny story. Well, yeah, we got a gram off.

Dave Graham cucked me, which is fine. We explained that. It's fine. I think it was justified. Quit rehashing. As I said on the last one, literally no one cares. Okay. So we talked to him and he to his credit he talked to us spares for like 15 minutes 20 minutes and in my head i'm thinking this is going so well i hope we have something to talk

about tomorrow on the podcast because we literally did like everybody was just firing in and he was going with us it'd been boom boom boom and then uh some model or something walked up and he he'd left us yeah he didn't even say bye and i believe it was miss america 2015 who walked up and he was like excuse me guys i'm gonna go talk to her if you don't mind no no and they're we're like chris we got it man to be fair to chris to be fair to chris he has been connected with her for a long time and he he's a mentor of sorts to her. So I'm not going to poo-poo him leaving us. Dylan, you've been a mentor for many Miss Americas. Is that right?

I don't know. I was hoping you would admit that. I will say this. Chris Harrison was one of the cooler dudes I've ever talked to. He handled us well, and we kind of tried to screw with him a little bit, and he played along, and I came out of tried to screw with him a little bit and he played along and i came out of the gates and i i meant this as a compliment you'll i'm not going to give away my

first question but we all meant it as a compliment what we were trying to say and uh i think it kind of took him off guard i even told him during this interview i said dude you're cooler than i expected you to be which what it didn't mean to be a slight because i had high expectations going in i think there are some celebrities that come off and i haven't met that many big names but there are some celebrities that come off as kind of robots who are just kind of told what to do and where to go he is a chill-ass dude who also happens to host who wants to be a millionaire and the bachelor and there are some celebs who think like i'm too big for what these guys are trying to do. I'm just going to give them short answers and get out of here.

Nah. He's tight. Did we talk about this? He actually had to hit the road to drive back to L.A., which traffic between San Diego and L.A. is a nightmare. And it was, like, 2 or 3 o'clock. And he's like, guys, I can do, like, 10 minutes. And we kind of kept giving giving clues to like end the interview and he just kept going no so we i was sitting in there in the room with dave in the

podcast studio at the calway event and chris harrison just comes busting in sets down his phone and says all right i got 10 minutes and i was like oh shit dylan's downstairs getting a tinky i know i was like dylan's not even here like he's getting a tinky off right now like what are we supposed to do? I called Dylan. Dylan doesn't answer. I'm like, oh, cool. We've got Chris Harrison in the booth.

You know I stay on silent. Yeah. And so we're sitting there, and I don't know what to do with myself. And so then I'm like, all right, we have 10 minutes. The clock's already started. Dylan's nowhere to be found. Then Dylan walks in to tell us that Chris Harrison had already left. Well, as it turns out, our boy CH did not leave. Because hashtag Chad was getting a tinky off next to me. He goes, dude, y'all just that Chris Harrison had already left. Well, as it turns out, our boy CH did not leave.

Because hashtag Chad was getting tinky off next to me. He goes, dude, y'all just missed Chris Harrison. Dude, so he was walking into the parking lot, and I was waiting for him. Who's the wedge guy? Anthony, the guy who does the Calway wedges. He's got a good Instagram, sorry. He was doing a thing with Chris,

and then Chris was walking in the parking lot. I go, Chris, you got time for us? He's like, I could do 10 minutes. And then we we went upstairs and then i've saved the day yeah yeah not to you know hero mode myself but i pretty much you get that here i'm gonna give you the honor of mashing the hero mode button right now mashed you can't see it but for the folks at home i just mashed he did he did i should say i told Crick Watson, the great Crick Watson, formerly of PGP. He is like, how is Chris Harrison? I said, he is exactly what I expected him to be.

He's not what I expected him to be. He's exactly what I wanted him to be. That's probably a better way because he was, you'll hear it, quick-witted and just rolled with us. He's a consummate host. He makes you feel at ease, which is what every host should do. Yeah, we don't do that all the time. No, we just bombard you with stupid questions. Ask Wes and Dill.

They felt maybe a little too at ease. Well, should we present the interview without further ado? Yes. Let's introduce it real quick. I'm kidding. Let's get into it. All right, without further ado,

this is our boy, Chris Harrison. Here's Chris Harrison. We got the man who it's been said he does more with less FaceTime than anyone in the world. It's Chris Harrison. On TV or in personal life? Both. Okay.

Dallas' own, Lake Highland's own. That's right, Lake Highland's wildcat. I'm not sure. How do I take that? I do more with less FaceTime. It's a compliment. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Welcome to the guest. I'm going to take do I take that I do more with less face time it's a compliment it's a compliment welcome to the guest I'm going to take it

as a compliment David we're just going to talk Cowboys football the whole time what's going to happen here before this goes into it because Chris is in a hurry I've got to ask him

the question that all of our fans want to know why'd y'all do Jack Stone like that back in the day what do you mean what did we do what did we do to Jack Stone

to catch you up Jack Stone is a recurring guest on this show. Oh, is he? We love the Stone Man. We're big Stone guys. Fellow Dallas guy. He's a Dallas dude.

And he was like, yeah, man, the producers got me good on the show. They made me look like a creep. We all kind of bought into it so we let him explain himself so we're big Jack Stone guys now.

What happened? I always thought, because I always called him Dr. Jack Stone. Do you guys ever see the old movie? What was it? Oh, God. With Michael. Do you guys ever see the old movie? What was it? Oh, God.

With Michael J. Fox. He was the doctor. Back to the Future? Doc Hollywood. Oh, Tombstone. No, not Doc Hollywood. Tombstone? I thought you said Duck Ho.

He's a teen wolf. I'm going to think of it. I'm going to keep going. Anyway, here's the thing. We don't make people look creepy. You don't, like... Right. Do you ever...

I'll just say this. Do you ever wonder why it's always the people that come off looking creepy or bad that complain about the editing? Those that look great never go, man, I'm really not that good of a guy. It was the editing. Man, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to... Damn.

Sold out stone man. I love it. The stone man. I didn't want you to put him in a body bag. Chris, is it true that... I just't mean to Stone Sold out Stone Man I love it The Stone Man I didn't want you to put him in a body bag Chris, is it true that I just swept the leg Is it Is it true that

It is Doc Hollywood Yeah Yeah, Michael J Michael J. Fox Doc Hollywood So, Dr. Jack Stone That's why Okay, we digress

That's the one where he goes back in time No, Jesus And he does like Crimes back in time That's a different movie Hey, what's your That's a different movie. What's your go-to Tex-Mex spot in Dallas or in Texas, wherever? You know, Mico's easy.

You've got to go to Mico. There's a place up in Frisco I always go as well. We called it the horse. I don't even know the name of it because we called it the horsey restaurant because they had horses outside. My kids always rode like, you know, those little. You put a quarter in, you ride them. What was that? I don't even forget the name of it. Any place that has queso, which is every place in Dallas.

Yeah. Very queso-friendly town. For the folks listening who don't know, it means cheese in Spanish. Yes, en espanol. Yeah. Is it true that you just hand-picked Colton because you just want to chill with him? Yeah. I wanted someone who would make me look scrawnier than i really am he just absolutely body bagged me in a

photo he's built such a tiny he's a massive human being thick boy and yeah that's what people the the odd thing is usually say in in hollywood uh i'll pick on tom cruise uh he's tiny yeah right i mean he's like an elfinfin and so if you see people like that in real life you think oh I saw Mission Impossible he's big or whatever Mel Gibson those guys are tiny little figurines of human beings so you see them and you're like oh they're tiny

I get the opposite effect people go oh you're actually a human size I was about to say you're taller in person than I expected you to be but I always stand next to all the guys on our show are 6'4". They eat massive amounts of protein and egg whites. They shave every inch of their body. It's not natural.

And the good news is Colton's actually a legit NFL athlete. He's a stud. I made the mistake of working out with him every day. Did he just body bag you? The calves on that guy. Is he going heavy? He goes deep. We would be running.

We were in Thailand, name dropping. And we're into this run. We're like four miles in. I played college soccer. I'm pretty fit. I can run. And we're four miles in. He's like, I just want to stretch my legs a little bit.

We can pick it up. Without finishing the sentence, he was a quarter mile ahead of me. I mean, he was like a gazelle. He's beasting. There's a difference in these athletes. I mean, the top 001% of athletes in the world. And then when you think that Colton is, no offense, average for an NFL guy. Sure, sure.

I mean, when you're talking about the studs in the NFL, it's crazy how good these guys are. Yeah, we were talking combine numbers with him earlier. He said he ran a2 468 what do you say 468 468 40 and now you have defensive ends running 4 440s yeah and that's why these guys are just getting killed you know back in the day when i was growing up you know if you're 300 pounds that meant you ran a 5 440 so the quick guys you could get away and you could survive. Now you're getting crushed by these guys. It's just we're talking football.

We have the Dallas connection here. Colton predicted a Seahawks victory Saturday. What a dick. Right? That's what we said. Yeah, it kind of pissed me off, honestly. We hate the guy now. That's it.

Now I'm going to tell you what I really think of Colton. I won't be surprised. You know, I'm a diehard Cowboy fan, born Colton. I won't be surprised. You know, I'm a diehard Cowboy fan, born and raised. It's a birthright. But I just don't feel like we have that team that's just confident and going to roll through. I think we're good. You know, we got obviously adding Amari Cooper was a huge addition

to give us some kind of downfield presence at all. Dak's fine. You know, Zeke is amazing. I think we're good. We're a really good team, but I don't think we're world beaters this year, which means we're probably going to win the Super Bowl. But usually the Cowboys get your hopes up,

and then they rip our heart out. That's kind of been the status quo for the last decade. We'll see what they do this year. I just don't. Maybe it's because my hopes aren't up. Maybe we'll do well. Okay. Are we favored?

We've got to be favored. We're home. Are we just a typical three-point dog? Dallas minus two, I think, I want to say. Okay. So we're not even getting the three points of being home. Right. So it's basically a pick-em game.

Exactly. How many rounds of golf do you play during one taping of The Bachelor or Bachelorette? Not a ton. This season with Colton, i played a few times in uh he told us we were in uh where was i in vietnam and uh played over there and then played in portugal a couple times that's one of the cool aspects of the show is we travel so much and i do have days where i'm off not doing anything and i'll go play golf i'll find a golf course find something to do it's it's kind of cool to go visit some of these other courses around the

world and what about Paradise? Paradise is great because we stay at this resort that has 36 holes on it. It has a Norman and a Nicholas course on it. So you're just doing laps? Yeah. I have carte blanche, although it's 148 degrees. I was going to say, it's like every single person on that show except for you looks like they're just sweating your balls off. Do you travel with your sticks or you rent?

I do. Well, I have a rule. Two rounds or more, I take my sticks. Anything less than that, it's not worth it. Because it's a pain in the ass to travel with your sticks. It's the last thing that's ever unloaded, especially at LAX. It's another hour and you're just ready to be home. I'm always afraid that my driver heads are going to get snapped.

Honestly, anywhere around the world now, rentals are fine. It's like skis. Everything's good enough. I mean, if I was playing in a legit tournament, you're taking your own. But just goofing around, I take what I need. You take your shoes, your balls, everything that you're going to spend another $180 on. I'll take all that and then borrow clubs. People were saying you were knocking the tits off the golf ball with that Epic Flash.

Is that true? The Epic Flash is awesome. I said that. The epic was really good three or four years ago, whatever it was. The epic flash, you have a smooth swing. I saw you swinging. Thank you. I hit the ball.

It was like three or four miles per hour faster, so that'll equate to up to 20 yards more distance. That's insane. Yeah. We've got to play sometime. You ever make it through Austin? Where do you guys play in Austin? I love Austin. It's one. Yeah. We've got to play sometime. You ever make it through Austin? Where do you guys play in Austin? I love Austin. It's one of my favorite cities in the world. I go

there a lot. I have family there. I absolutely love it, but I'm not a Pete Dye guy, so I'm not an ACC guy. The location's great, but golf's hard enough without Pete Dye. I don't need to hit a beautiful drive down the middle and then my ball's in the water because it hit an elephant.

Yeah, Austin, the private golf courses in Austin are really good. Right. They have Barton Creek, ACC. Publicly, though, like for broke boys like us, they're not great. It's not a great public. Well, because you need water, and that's what's expensive in Texas. You've got to water the crap out of it. It's 108 every day.

So that's what's tough. But, I mean, you guys have Spanish. That was an old discovery property. That place is tight. I think it's where Sergio is playing now. So there's ACC, but then what's the Crenshaw that they also call Austin Country Club? Don't they? Oh, so they just built that out at – they're building one out at Barton Creek.

So Crenshaw already has one out at – Well, there's Barton Creek Crenshaw. Yeah. There are two Fazio courses, and then there's Crenshaw already has one out at... Well, there's Barton Creek Crenshaw. Yeah. There are two Fazio courses, and then there's Crenshaw, and then Lakeside is way out on 71. And what's the UT course? It's called UT Golf

Course. Is that a good track? It's a great track. It is, yeah. It is good. Where do you guys go to barbecue? If you're going to be in Austin, and you can't say Franklin's. That's the answer. No, but we're not going to go there. I'm not going to go at 6 in the morning and sit there.

Terry Black's is the best short-wave barbecue you can get. Black's snows. The next tier down from Franklin's, in my opinion, the number two place in Austin is La Barbecue. So my friends and I, instead of doing wine tours or whatever, we do barbecue tours. Texas Monthly comes out with their barbecue. So we found, it was then, a food truck over by the Embassy Suites across the way.

And I think they have a brick and mortar now, right? They have a store. But back in, it was the brother or sister of Louie Mueller's broke away and started La Barbecue. And it's damn good. Yeah. Franklin started out in the trailer, too, for a few years, and then they upgraded to a brick and mortar. La Barbecue is very, very good.

What's your meat of choice? Brisket. It's the crown jewel of barbecue. He's a Texas guy. There was a lot of people that were hating on brisket on Twitter recently, saying it's the most overrated barbecue meat, which I disagree with. These are people who have never had properly smoked brisket. Well, here's the thing.

We're in California. We do tri-tip out here, which is garbage. Even done well. It's just a chewy, fatty, but not fatty in a good way. It's just not a good cut of meat. It's really hard to make it good. A good smoked brisket is

you can't beat it. I mean, the crown jewels for me are can you do ribs and pork ribs? Pork ribs are incredible. Can you do pork ribs and can you do in pork ribs pork ribs are incredible can you do pork ribs and can you do brisket the beef rib has really come on the last five or six years as a thing in texas i don't do it yeah it's not not that big but if i when i go to a place i'm eating your brisket and then i'm you know and i want i want the lean i want fatty i want some burn-ins and i want some do you ever smoke your own meats? Yeah. I love.

I'm a big barbecue. I love it. You got a Traeger? This guy can't stop smoking. I can. I'm addicted to the game. I do nothing but wood pellet, though. Yeah. What wood?

Man, I do the. Pecan, mesquite. Oh, I go. Yeah, I do mesquite. I do oak. I've even got a summer shandy hybrid. It's a collabo they did with the people at Traeger. Yeah, man.

I'm really mixed up. He's ahead of the game. You know what the Epic Flash? That's him in barbecue. That's true. Groundbreaking. He's knocking the tits off his barbecue. Oh, man. I couldn't believe it. We heard this.

A couple more questions. I heard that they actually rented a supercomputer to make this Epic Flash like the face, and they used a lot of AI. AI. AI developed it. And we didn't know that Allen Iverson was doing this kind of stuff after basketball. He's got handles, dude. He's got handles, so he likes – so I did.

It was really cool, and I've been with Callaway for probably like four years now, part of their family. I do a lot of stuff for them, and one of the cool things was doing the launch this morning at 6 00 a.m we went live with harry arnett senior vp of marketing uh michelle we sergio garcia came in and we we announced all these new products the ball the driver the three sets of irons the putter um and listening and watching all of this come to life is amazing and talking about the ai and and Harry told this to me this morning, what they did, if they had, I think, 20 club fitters and R&D guys,

the guys that are creating this, if they had 20 guys, it would have taken them 34 years to create what they created in the Epic Flash. Yeah. That's insane to me, what they can to me. Nobody got time for that. With these supercomputers. I can't wait that long. No. I need this technology right now.

I want to get my Flash on now. So in the ball and what they're doing with the iron, it's astounding to me. No joke, picked up 10 yards with my irons today, and the dispersion pattern is you could throw a blanket over where I'm hitting it, even my misses. It is a game-changing. It's nuts.

And when people say, oh, does technology really make a difference? It does. It really does. What's your lowest round ever? I think it was at Craig Ranch, if I'm not mistaken. Actually, up in Dallas. I shot 75. Made everything in sight.

That's what you have to do. When you go low, you make everything in sight. You're just hooping everything. That's what we do. We go low. It's all the ones you should make, plus you're making a few of those 10, 20, 30-footers where you're like, oops, knock that in.

How many hole-in-ones? One. This year. Last year. Sorry, 2018. I'm on the board at my club up in LA at North Ranch. I'm on the board and we have this collegiate tournament, the Southwest Am. It's just awesome.

It's now hosted by Pepperdine. Tiger won it a couple of times with Stanford. A bunch of PGA guys have come through and won there. So the day or two before the tournament, we do a member amateur and you buy a team. So a good friend of mine went to Michigan. I bought the University of Michigan and you play with their their guys so i had one and two players from michigan the coaches my buddies and on our signature hole hooped it 155 160 drew it in like a rabbit into a hole what'd you hit what iron seven iron eight iron eight iron okay did you see it down yeah i mean you

could watch it it was perfect it was the fact that all my buddies were there, these kids from college were there, it was expensive. It cost me a lot of money that night. I was going to say, you've got to buy those rounds. We do. Well, it was kind of a break because we do a dollar a hole. I don't know what you do at your club. We do a dollar a hole for your hole-in-one. So it was $156 a man in the group.

So I made a little money. Good. Good for you. And then if you're not in our group, it's $100 a man. Okay. Damn. That's awesome. We're still waiting on then if you're not in our group, it's $100 a man. Okay. Damn. That's awesome. We're still waiting on ours.

Yeah. Nobody here has one, right? No. Yeah, people are saying 2019 is the year for us. Yeah, I think it's our year. I think I'm by Q2. Yeah. Give me a second quarter run.

Yeah. You got anything else for Chris Harrison? We got Chris Harrison. We got Chris Harrison. You're cooler than I thought you were going to be, man. No. Can you guys believe Texas beat Georgia? I can't. I can't. No. No, I really can't. I lost a lot going to be, man. Can you guys believe Texas beat Georgia? I can't.

I can't. No. No, I really can't. I lost a lot of money. Who saw that? I will say this, though. If you watch their, you know, if you're into horse racing, every now and then you saw a horse have a freak kind of run.

Well, if you watch Texas all year, it's like, well, they did beat OU. Yeah. And they gave them a game in the Big 12. And then, you know, they beat OSU, right? I think they beat Oklahoma State. They beat Oklahoma State. And so they had legit wins. Yeah.

So it was in them. It's good to see that program. And they also lost to Maryland. Life's better when A&M and Texas and all of them are playing ball. Yeah. Hey, future looks good. I think they're going to be a really, really good college quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. He's as thick as Colton.

Dave, do you want to ask the final question? Yeah, people want to know this. This is your final question tonight. What's next for Chris Harrison in 2019? God. More of the same. So just playing golf and doing dope shit? Here's what's up.

Monday, September. September, geez. January 7th is the premiere live. So I'm leaving here, driving straight up. The next two days are just all rehearsal. Then we have the live show, three hours. And then I am knee deep and getting ready for Pebble. I got the glorious honor of being invited back to Pebble.

Played in the Pro-Am last year with Jason Day, which was just an embarrassment of riches. We finished top 10, so I don't even know why I'm going back. It's never going to be that good again. So I'm back this year, and it's the greatest week of my life. It's unbelievable. My buddy Caddy swore me.

Everyone comes up. It's awesome. Are you doing the closest to the pin competition on that? I finished third last year. Love it. Lost to Larry Fitzgerald, that bagger. What? Speaking of another specimen, holy crap.

Also a nice guy. I hate to be taken by another man, but I just stare at him. Sometimes you gotta get taken, though. That's pretty much what we do on this podcast. I'm like,

can I touch your pecs? Larry Fitzgerald makes Colton look like a fat kid. Colton looked like a cartoon holding a driver out there. Yeah, and Colton is ripped and stunned. You can tuck your biceps in, but he can't because it's all meat there. Yeah, he can't hold his follow-through because his muscles are just too big. And Larry won last year.

Larry won the damn AT&T. I assume you play with Romo. Yes. Tony's a friend and a really good guy and an incredible golfer. I was looking forward to him getting away from playing and picking up his clubs and see if he can make a go of it. I know he tried there and put Takana at that web.com thing, and hopefully he'll get some more shots.

It's the putter with him, right? Yeah. Yeah. Always is. Stroke play, man. Stroke play. Steph Curry found the same thing. Those guys are great golfers.

It just shows you how damn good these guys really are. Sergio is out here. Watch him for an hour. He doesn't miss hit a ball. No. Michelle Wee, same thing. They're sick. Yeah, I don't get it.

I mean, I watched Jason Day for four days. And, yes, he pounds it further than most human beings. But it was his short game and his touch and imagination around the greens that got me. They're on another level. Yeah. There was nothing of cuts too difficult for him had you to vote you know a lot of hours had you met him before because i know he lived in fort worth for a while i met him it wouldn't do that though i oddly because of my job i met ellie his wife uh wonderful and i did some help and some work for them for the brighter day foundation

and got him some auction items and all that and through that i met jason and then totally random i was talking to ellie and i said hey does jason have a partner for the pro-am she's like well hold on he's sitting right here and his deal with lexus there was like a loophole and he hadn't quite signed yet so he needed a partner he's like yeah i'd love to play with chris and i was like so he scored scored a former world number one. Yeah. I mean, that was his. Yeah, that's a good pull. Everybody was so pissed. Like, how did you get Jason Day?

I'm like, I asked him. That's all it takes. All they can say is no. We've got to start asking more. Right. Yeah. I'll take Kevin Tway or Kelly Craft right now. Right.

Who cares? Whatever. Have you made it to a Dell match play yet in Austin? Have you been to one of those? No. No. It's fun. I want to get down to the F1.

Yeah. I hear that is quite the scene. That's the weekend. I hear that's the best. It's all the same weekend? No, no, no. I'm just saying that's the weekend. Yeah, I hear it's awesome.

No, I mean, watching the Dell match play is awesome, but it's, I don't know. Pete Dye, what are you going to do? Well, we know you've got to get out of here, man. Yep. Hit the road. We appreciate you coming on. You got anything coming up you want to plug? Like any show?

You can obviously watch the new season of The Bachelor. Yeah, that's right. Mondays on ABC with Colton. And every day, watch Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Check your local listings. You do it all. You do it all. What aren't you doing?

When you were talking about the Cowboys, I was like, put this guy in the booth. I want to listen to you. I would love to. You know, honest to God, I was like, put this guy in the booth. I want to listen to you. I would love to. Honest to God, I was a sportscaster in Oklahoma City, and that's where I started. And my goal in life was to move back to Dallas, where I'm from, and be the voice of the Cowboys. That's the dream for everybody. Be a sportscaster at home and be the voice of the Cowboys. And so Dale Hanson, Brad Sham, all those guys.

I mean, I grew up always listening to the radio and turned the TV down because, you know, you want to listen to your hometown guys. That was my goal in life. And if someone said quit everything and you can be the voice of the Cowboys, gone. If Jerry Jones called me right now, quit everything. You guys can take over The Bachelor. I don't care.

Actually, he is a listener of the show, so he'll hear this. Who's that? Jerry Jones. I know Jerry and the whole family, Stephen and Charlotte. I love that family. I love the organization. They're really good people. They do a lot of good around Dallas.

I am. I'm a diehard fan of them and the team. But, yeah, that's how it all started was being a sportscaster and then fell into this weird world. And now who wants to be a millionaire? I've done for four years, which is awesome. Every day. So you actually get a ton of FaceTime.

We weren't even – people don't give you credit. Did you guys know it's National Trivia Day? Damn. Did not. There we go. Well, you just did trivia. Well, that was weird. That was trivia.

That was very meta. Yeah. People aren't doing that on podcasts except for Brains in a Million Pieces. All right, boys. Happy New Year. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming on.

So I hope Jack Stone did not listen to that interview. I think he's going to but i hope he didn't can i apologize to him yeah because i'll put this on me you kind of sold him out this is me i i thought he would i didn't think he would go in on it i thought you know we were just kind of playing around i didn't think i didn't think chris would would would go that hard would hashtag body i was gonna say did he hashtag body bag him? Yeah. Hashtag ouch. Hashtag wow.

As much as we love Chris Harrison, he wronged our boy. I love Jack. I hope Jack's still cool with us. The stone man. People said that Dave Ruff would not ask Chris Harrison what it feels like to knock the tits off the ball. Yeah. But we went there.

That's the kind of content that they have us out for. We also got word that chris harrison would quit his current job in a second to be the cowboys announcer which i found to be very interesting uh was he right on his prediction did he predict a cowboy victory over the seahawks no he predicted seahawks chris chris chris you silly that's a classic hometown reverse jinx and i respect it he used our podcast as a platform to reverse jinxes. It's called an emotional hedge. That's what he was doing there.

My buddy calls it a happiness hedge when he bets. Same thing. Which I like. Happiness isn't emotion, so it makes sense. Yeah. It's an all-encompassing is what you said. Yes. Does Chris strike you as the kind of guy who puts money on random college basketball games?

Has he got action? I'm going to say no. You don't think? I'm going to say no. In my head, I want him to be like he would have come up with like like he would have said something about the line or something like that okay he doesn't strike me as a big gambler he's a big austin guy yeah austin texas we even talked texas football with him a little bit i couldn't stand up for like five minutes after the interview because as he left the room he said hey next time in austin let's get some q together yeah and i was like dog what if we're dropping your digits chris what if we're

just sitting at the like patio of terry blacks just chilling with chris harrison tvs man what if we're spotted getting q with chris harrison around austin i never even heard someone say let's get a q together like that's the look yeah that's what we need dude i talk about doing no you talk about ending a night at Pop. That's where that night ends up. You start at TB's or Q, get in the Q at La Barbecue. I promise I will never go to Pop again.

I will go for Chris H. But I will go for Chris Harrison. Mash that rosé button. Sparkling style. We're not mashing any rosé buttons. Yeah, we are. Also, he's a noted golfer, as we discussed. We got to get on the course with him.

We got to do content with this guy. Let's start with Q, Dave. I know it's already gaseous enough in here. This is essentially the Chris Harrison gas station right now. Silky smooth swing. I love his tempo. Yeah. Kind of like a guy who plays very, very often.

Yes. Really nice courses. Yeah. He kind of big-timed me. I asked him because he told me he was playing in Cabo. Sign name dropped, Cabo del Sol. It's a course Will and I have played. Dylan, have you played it?

I have not. That's too bad. I'm sorry. It's okay. And he named another course, which is a better course that he's playing. Yeah. I was like, oh, you know, I'll go fuck myself. Well, Dave, he is Chris Harrison.

He is Chris Harrison. And you're just crime dog. It bummed me out because I really wanted to talk about the tacos at the turn of Cabo Del Sol with him. That's an underrated part of that golf course experience. I was on Instagram last night, and I follow a gentleman who is also at the Cal event. He's a photographer. His name is Half Life. Or his Instagram handle is Half Life.

I don't know if that's how you say it. H-A-F-E underscore life. And he was going through, and somebody asked him a question on Instagram, the best food at golf courses. And his answer, one of the answers that he gave was the fish tacos at the turn of Cabo Del Sol. Wow, nobody's answering like that.

Accurate, accurate statement, man. Hey, shout out to Shadow, our producer for this pod. Oh my God. Dude, did you remember seeing Shadow that night at the bar yeah he gave me the most intense handshake you can't ask me that question as if i was like blacked out i had like three beers at that event i all right bro i wanted i wanted to to take shadow with us

Not only did our mans get some fits off, but he hasn't aged a bit.

He looks great. He looks fantastic. He looks like he feels great. Yeah. Do you think he's on like... Testosterone? Yeah. He was layered up because it was a little bit cool.

He had a bulletproof vest on he's definitely in good shape like he's probably optimized he might be he he appeared to be in ketosis and he at least he knew what that was if you want to hear more about ketosis uh i would advise you to listen to our uh other episode that's live right now which is our interview with colton the current bachelor y'all shouldn't have let me lead with that. That almost derailed everything. Colton is really good at when he doesn't want to answer something. He just shuts his mouth and just looks at you and kind of gives a smirk. I wish we had video.

Because he does that on the show too. If somebody asks him a question, he just smiles and is like, nope, not happening. Anyway, should we wrap this up yeah people need to hear colton's on the colton on the new episode wait do they have to listen to that one like next or do they have to stay in chronological yeah what do we do here that's a good question i prefer they go i prefer they go episode one chris harrison colton but it's up to them they can do whatever they want that's the beauty of podcasting right yeah dude they can jump around
