Chris "The Bulldog" Parker has been a colleague and friend of ours for over 30 years, and he joins the Back 9 for a conversation about how our perspective changes as we age. Chris reflects on three decades behind the mic and how, when we become husbands and fathers, our attitude can change towards our jobs and how we approach what matters in life. In particular, Chris' son Owen was an elite hockey player, and Chris shares both the pain of watching Owen have to step away from the game and the pride he feels in watching him follow in his footsteps into media. It's an emotional journey worth taking.
We also spend some time talking about learning to appreciate all the little things in life, like golf, the start of the NFL season, and taking care of our health. Chris proves that old friends are the best friends — and the best guests! — on this episode of the Back 9.
