Speaker 2: He's a beautiful man.
Speaker 4: He really is.
Speaker 2: Uh So, yeah, get great pre cooked meals right to
Speaker 2: your door with ecleanbro dot com. I'm sure we're gonna

Speaker 4: Sorry, we're just adjusting our seats here. Everybody can see
Speaker 4: all of both of us.
Speaker 2: That's what everybody wants to see, is all of both
Speaker 2: of you for sure. Anyways, Uh so, not much has
Speaker 2: been going on since we left off. We had a J.
Speaker 2: Johnson on our last show. Was great to speak to
Speaker 2: him and talk about his Elias Cup victory a part
Speaker 2: of Las Vegas High Rollers. What else is going on? John? Oh?
Speaker 2: H Butters, Butters is kind of on a roll right now.
Speaker 2: I think it's see whenever people come on the show,
Speaker 2: they just get the straight up five rub. Nate Garcia
Speaker 2: has been his bowling better now and Butters yep, and
Speaker 2: Butters is lighting up the chackos. Uh and you think
Speaker 2: he's won two tournaments already? People already complaining that don't
Speaker 2: you live in the West Coast? What are you doing
Speaker 2: on these looks?
Speaker 4: Funny is like what we we say, Butters is killing
Speaker 4: him right now, but respectfully, Butters is always killing them.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 4: I mean, Butter's kicked everybody's ass on the West Coast
Speaker 4: and now he's just doing what he does, he just
Speaker 4: out strikes everybody. Man. He just has he has the elixir.
Speaker 4: And obviously the transition from the purple hammer to the
Speaker 4: harder surface eurethane balls not only affected him, but a
Speaker 4: lot of players that were achieving a lot of success
Speaker 4: due to the game that they had to adapt to. Sure,
Speaker 4: and it's only a matter of time before he starts
Speaker 4: sparkling on the regular tour as he does everywhere else.
Speaker 4: He's It's just like any other top player in the world.
Speaker 4: When you're that good at something, eventually you're gonna hit
Speaker 4: a slumping We watch Aaron Judge, for Christ's sake.
Speaker 5: And you go thirteen games out a home run and
Speaker 5: they're like, oh, there's something wrong, and I'm like.
Speaker 4: No, that's actually average for most me. Meanwhile, you're one
Speaker 4: of three players multiple sixty home run seasons, yet you
Speaker 4: strike out like over one hundred times when you go
Speaker 4: to the plate every single seasons. There's times where like
Speaker 4: Pete Alonzo this year was on an over twenty two stretch,
Speaker 4: and look at the Mets now, Francisco lind Door battling
Speaker 4: back from injury. It's every single.
Speaker 5: When the bar set that high, like any any instant
Speaker 5: of tumultuous situation and they're like, ah, something's wrong. Are
Speaker 5: we really passing on the irony that Rob said, Butters
Speaker 5: on a roll?
Speaker 4: I mean, like that not be a shirt. I mean
Speaker 4: he is missing this. He is on the gravy train
Speaker 4: with biscuit wheels. No, I was with, I was with,
Speaker 4: I was with the pose. I thought we were taking pictures. Thanks,
Speaker 4: and the chat was clapping. Good timing, good timing.
Speaker 2: No, Butters is on a roll. It should be a shirt. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll definitely throw that to the to the.
Speaker 4: And put him with his wattle wattle throw thing whatever
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 5: Smash, that's what I smash and uh put on.
Speaker 4: Literally we were calling the art department tomorrow. We got
Speaker 4: to the part where his feet separate at like that time,
Speaker 4: like the way Evelyn's feet you like when Evelyn sits.
Speaker 4: Our front palls are this way. There is a point
Speaker 4: in Jacob's approach where both feet go this way. That
Speaker 4: should be the the image with watterle wattle crank, smash
Speaker 4: duckies too, Like that'd be fun too. We have we
Speaker 4: have a way about it.
Speaker 2: And he's in a great headspace. Now he's got a
Speaker 2: new girlfriend, he's uh, he's in a good play. And
Speaker 2: it's thank god because he had you know, he talked
Speaker 2: about his struggles this year when he was on the
Speaker 2: show a few weeks ago. But good on him man
Speaker 2: for cleaning uh, getting cleaning up his diet and getting
Speaker 2: in better shape. And I mean he's We're happy for Butters.
Speaker 2: He's a good guy.
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool to see more and more professionals like
Speaker 4: we had Kyle troupon for my birthday bash a few
Speaker 4: weeks ago. Big Kroll had asked me for a nutrition
Speaker 4: plan going into the season. It's crazy that more and
Speaker 4: more the talent level is so high. And you can
Speaker 4: always argue if bowling's a sport or a game, but
Speaker 4: to be the best in anything you do, you have
Speaker 4: to be finally tuned mentally and physically. And in the
Speaker 4: bowling world, every year that goes that, that progresses more
Speaker 4: and more play. You don't see any more of the
Speaker 4: the big guys being successful week to week. And and
Speaker 4: I say that with the utmost respect. I mean, like
Speaker 4: when and when I say big guys, I mean I'm gonna, like,
Speaker 4: just to give you a prime example, you're not gonna
Speaker 4: see guys like Dale Traber or guys that are built
Speaker 4: like that every single week bowling forty something games every
Speaker 4: single week between practice, pro am and tournament, have a
Speaker 4: chance to beat guys like a Marshall Kent or you
Speaker 4: know an ej Oh.
Speaker 5: There's a fitness aspect attached to it, and it's and
Speaker 5: it's and it's even so dialed in, which is what
Speaker 5: I started asking guys about, like, because it's not like
Speaker 5: you know Johnny and I okay, Johnny, not me. I
Speaker 5: just I'm physically gifted, my bad. No, of course, I've
Speaker 5: put many hours in the gym. It's not it didn't
Speaker 5: happen overnight. But we do routine set for muscle groups,
Speaker 5: which sometimes decreased our flexibility because we shorten our muscles
Speaker 5: as we we tighten them. These guys have to work
Speaker 5: obscure muscles, accessory muscles, and I'm usually to want to
Speaker 5: jump in and talk about it when someone starts textizing,
Speaker 5: like shoot, was meal prepping and he started with these
Speaker 5: things and I'm like, you're probably doing some obscure stuf.
Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, we're doing quarter extensions, one legged lunges,
Speaker 5: one legged squats, that kind of shit totally. And you
Speaker 5: have to work the most accessory type muscles in order
Speaker 5: to bowl, because again, regardless of whether you're two handed
Speaker 5: or one hated, it's still asymmetrical. Big muscle, small muscles,
Speaker 5: it's asymmetrical. It's a big rock on one side and not
Speaker 5: on the other.
Speaker 4: And honestly, like Rob even going to because I was
Speaker 4: gonna bring this up, and I'm actually glad that Chuck
Speaker 4: Ritchie brought it up in the in the comments here,
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna bring Wes into this equation here the
Speaker 4: same way I almost even said Steve Cook earlier, because
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about guys that are just I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna say guys that are heavier, guys that are not
Speaker 4: in like athletic condition like Bartolo Cologne. To me is
Speaker 4: one of the greatest baseball pitchers ever and he was
Speaker 4: not finely tuned. Neither was David Wells. So you do
Speaker 4: have your right now seas now rock man. But like
Speaker 4: to go with what Chuck is saying here, Wes could
Speaker 4: only bowl so many years, especially with that much spine
Speaker 4: tilt when he stands six foot four and ways to seventy.
Speaker 4: Steve Cook was upright, though Steve Cook was six seven
Speaker 4: to seventy five, but it was a little more upright.
Speaker 4: He didn't really Bet was I don't know, actually he wasn't.
Speaker 4: He wasn't as bent over as as west as at
Speaker 4: the foul line. But eventually it's a bad center to
Speaker 4: the hips and the legs could be take it's a
Speaker 4: bad center of gravity. There's and there's center of gravity
Speaker 4: and is the short part. The center gravity is the
Speaker 4: even part.
Speaker 5: When you're that tall and the weight distribution is different,
Speaker 5: it's gonna be bad again, asymmetrical.
Speaker 4: And like contrary to that, if you look at somebody
Speaker 4: like Mika, who's about like half the distance of the
Speaker 4: height between well maybe he's about Wes's heights, certainly shorter
Speaker 4: than Steve Cook, but he's very lean, he's very limber.
Speaker 4: He grew up bowling overseas where you had to throw
Speaker 4: the ball over the front part of the lane. You
Speaker 4: always chuck it. Yeah, I mean, I've said this a
Speaker 4: million times on this show. I've always thought that the
Speaker 4: anomalies in our sport are the bigger guys. Like it's
Speaker 4: it's rare to see somebody that's really really super successful
Speaker 4: that's tall or big. So when you look at somebody
Speaker 4: like Walter Ray Williams junior. Walter Ray is six foot
Speaker 4: two Walter Okay, fine, so he's like one of the exceptions.
Speaker 4: But when you look at the best in the world
Speaker 4: over the course of time, let's just go through a
Speaker 4: couple names here. We got Pete Webber, Norm Duke, Anthony Simonson,
Speaker 4: E J. Tackett, just just to name a few, Jason Belmonte,
Speaker 4: and collectively, amongst the five guys that I just mentioned,
Speaker 4: the tallest one is Belmo and he's about five to nine,
Speaker 4: maybe actually even five eight. It seems that like over
Speaker 4: the course of time, the guys that are a little
Speaker 4: bit lower to the foul line because of their height
Speaker 4: are guys that are on a more level plane when
Speaker 4: they're letting the ball go, and they can stand the
Speaker 4: test of time longer. And then you got the guys
Speaker 4: that are like kind of in the middle, say like
Speaker 4: a Brian Voss who's five to ten with the most
Speaker 4: simple compact game ever. David Ozio falls into that, Mike Alby,
Speaker 4: Ricky Ward. I just just like to spot some slightly
Speaker 4: different examples, and they look at guys like Amleto Monicelli
Speaker 4: perfectly fucking tuned as an athlete one hundred percent, but
Speaker 4: also a shorter guy five seven, five eight. I've always
Speaker 4: been I've noticed that over my life, and I feel
Speaker 4: like that's not talked about enough, where Like in football
Speaker 4: they say, hey, man, come back when you're thirty pounds heavier,
Speaker 4: or in baseball they say come back when you can
Speaker 4: throw the ball ten miles an hour faster. So if
Speaker 4: I want to throw a baseball ten miles an hour
Speaker 4: faster in one year, I'm not gonna try and build muscle.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and build flexibility. If I want to
Speaker 4: gain thirty pounds to be alignment in football, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: double my caloric intake, try and lift as heavy a
Speaker 4: weight as I possibly can for a certain amount of reps,
Speaker 4: and then just pile drive people into the ground. You
Speaker 4: see what they look like when they retire.
Speaker 5: They lose one hundred pounds in their first off and
Speaker 5: they're like, I don't have to They're they're they're eating
Speaker 5: for fuel and not for food. It's not even enjoyment.
Speaker 5: It's five thousand calories, Like what are our girl?
Speaker 4: Amanda just said. Sean Maldonado is a perfect example. Here's
Speaker 4: a guy who was successful and said, I want to
Speaker 4: be more successful, and the only way I could do it,
Speaker 4: the only way I can keep up with the talent pool,
Speaker 4: is to like kind of build my physical frame around
Speaker 4: to match what I have to do every single week.
Speaker 4: And these guys aren't bowling for millions of dollars. These
Speaker 4: guys are bowling for their livelihood literally every single week.
Speaker 4: I'm moselle go to see you, bab. But uh, this
Speaker 4: is one of the arguments I always have when it
Speaker 4: comes to when people measure is bowling a sport or not.
Speaker 4: I understand that the general public believes bowling is a game,
Speaker 4: but if it is your livelihood and you want to
Speaker 4: be the best in the world, it has to be
Speaker 4: treated just like anything else. Sure enough, I agreed.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, being someone who's who's been in
Speaker 2: the health of fitness and change, I mean your life
Speaker 2: around Johnny, you were you were a big guy, you know,
Speaker 2: ten years ago or so, or maybe even maybe more
Speaker 2: recently than that. But you made the choice to to
Speaker 2: change your diet, change your exercise, changr lifestyle and uh,
Speaker 2: you know, like you said, it kind of affected your
Speaker 2: bowling game because you're you're not well. There's a caveat
Speaker 2: to that. You're trying to look good naked like you
Speaker 2: always say, and you know, put on more muscle. Uh,
Speaker 2: and not as much as just staying lean like most
Speaker 2: of the bowlers are trying to do now because your
Speaker 2: frame is affected the way you throw the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Again, my my heart is not with bowling the
Speaker 4: way that it used to be. Actually, my heart is
Speaker 4: my brain isn't right.
Speaker 5: You're you're your Your bowling isn't your Your bowling isn't
Speaker 5: but bowling in itself is right. So because that's he
Speaker 5: literally goes to YouTube at the end of the night
Speaker 5: and watches bowling like that's his his rougiene.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But my my biggest thing is so like in
Speaker 4: bowling you always hear, don't chicken wing it. Try not
Speaker 4: to throw your thumb down early, and obviously all that
Speaker 4: means is get under the ball and not on the
Speaker 4: side of the ball, keep your thumb outside of your fingers.
Speaker 4: Can't chicken wing with me because my I'm into bodybuilding.
Speaker 4: I want to get I want to I want to
Speaker 4: look like a Greek god. It's actually my goal. I
Speaker 4: don't know when if that goal will ever be achieved. Well,
Speaker 4: I know how to do it, and I know what
Speaker 4: inhibits it, right, So like when I go bowling, most
Speaker 4: of the time, when I go to bowl League, I'm there.
Speaker 4: Guppy Troop said this best, and so did Carmen Salvino.
Speaker 4: When they made television, their first goal was to entertain
Speaker 4: the fans, so they came back to watch bowling, and
Speaker 4: then their second goal was to win. For me, my
Speaker 4: first goal when I go into a bowling alley is
Speaker 4: to get moderately obliterated when I drink, Like by drinking
Speaker 4: that way, I can go mingle with everybody and they
Speaker 4: can tell them how big he is, and I'm I'm
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a really really really friendly, friendly drunk. And
Speaker 4: when I'm in a bowling alley, obviously, you guys know,
Speaker 4: I get stopped by virtually everybody, whether they want to
Speaker 4: talk about getting lessons, they want to tell me a
Speaker 4: war story about my dad, they want to they want
Speaker 4: to ask me what color my shoelaces are, They ask.
Speaker 5: Them like in real life, and things like that. A
Speaker 5: lot of times it happened in Vegas. Remember, Okay, it
Speaker 5: didn't a man. That was a really nice comment. Thank
Speaker 5: you so much for it.
Speaker 4: What's up Doyle talking to me or him. She's definitely
Speaker 4: talking to me. He wants free respectly. You have the peaks,
Speaker 4: I have the width. If I were to stand in
Speaker 4: front of you, they wouldn't see you. Yeah, because I'm
Speaker 4: pasty white. Still, I actually wouldn't see you. I glow
Speaker 4: through you. I would block out the sun if you
Speaker 4: the eclipse.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're so white. I almost think you were
Speaker 2: part Irish. But you're full blood of Italian, so I
Speaker 2: don't get it.
Speaker 4: And then my second goal is to perform to my
Speaker 4: absolute best for my team. I could give a shit
Speaker 4: less if I bowl one sixty or two sixty. If
Speaker 4: my team wins, them happy. If you get three strikes
Speaker 4: in the tenth for a one to sixty to win,
Speaker 4: you're good. But here's here's the flip side to that,
Speaker 4: and the reason we even started the convo. I got
Speaker 4: into weightlifting because that lifestyle was ruining my life. It
Speaker 4: ruined my life like a million times over. I got
Speaker 4: into weightlifting because anybody that lifts weights or anybody that
Speaker 4: trains understands that alcohol is poison. And if you drink alcohol,
Speaker 4: the first thing your body has to do is process
Speaker 4: that alcohol, and four you can even start the recovery
Speaker 4: process of very empty, very empty exactly. Then you have
Speaker 4: to try and chug water, which actually just makes you
Speaker 4: sick in the initial stages. Right, So what I decided
Speaker 4: to do about five years ago was try, like, I
Speaker 4: don't want to quit drinking. I actually enjoy drinking, but
Speaker 4: just try and do it moderately. Like, for instance, today
Speaker 4: was my rest day. I'm back at the gym tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I had no problem having drinks last night in Majestic
Speaker 4: because I knew I didn't have anything to do today.
Speaker 4: But now, being forty years old, the body takes a
Speaker 4: couple of days to recover. Or It's not like we
Speaker 4: were like, let's just do this again. Right anyway, I'm
Speaker 4: starting to spit again. But you kind of understand like
Speaker 4: where I'm going with all this, right.
Speaker 5: But the point is, so with what with your your
Speaker 5: your physique has altered your mechanics a little bit. However,
Speaker 5: the one good thing is because your thumbless, you don't
Speaker 5: have to go around. You kind of just have to
Speaker 5: stay around your You can turn in your direction. Your
Speaker 5: lat's as wide as it's going to be. As long
Speaker 5: as you stay in the same groove, You're all right,
Speaker 5: it's the lack that may push it out. That's a difference.
Speaker 5: When he starts getting bigger, his arm's gonna come out
Speaker 5: a little wider instead. He may reroute on intentionally, but
Speaker 5: he'll figure that out when it happens.
Speaker 4: I would figure, oh, trub, here's here's the best simplest
Speaker 4: I can explain it. Brian Voss used to say, if
Speaker 4: I want to hit ten, I have to look at
Speaker 4: eight because there's always like a two board buffer. Because
Speaker 4: whether your right or left eye dominant, whatever, it may
Speaker 4: be right for me. If I want to hit ten
Speaker 4: and play straight up ten, he's looking at the gutter.
Speaker 4: Probably when I was leaner and my lats weren't there,
Speaker 4: I could stand on like sixteen seventeen and throw it
Speaker 4: straight up ten. Now, if I want to hit ten
Speaker 4: and like walk perfectly symmetrically to the foul line, I
Speaker 4: have to stand on like twenty three. It's and then
Speaker 4: I have this window between my side and my elbow,
Speaker 4: so it always feels like I'm gonna throw it across
Speaker 4: my face, so I fan it. So what I've had
Speaker 4: to try and learn is instead of trying to keep
Speaker 4: it tighter around the lad, I actually go around it.
Speaker 4: That's how you have the last second. I just literally
Speaker 4: try and shove my funny bone into my side just
Speaker 4: long enough that I can let my hand open and
Speaker 4: go forward.
Speaker 5: And that's kind of how Walter Ray does it. But
Speaker 5: he's had the same kind of symmetry for the last
Speaker 5: forty five here too. Yeah, that's an easily repeatable one.
Speaker 5: But that's that's Lee Trevino in the same respect, with
Speaker 5: that figure eight type of swing. I mean, and that
Speaker 5: makes more sense than a lot of it because you're
Speaker 5: gonna come back in. You don't have a choice. You're
Speaker 5: not gonna bounce off so and you're not gonna hit
Speaker 5: your leg totally.
Speaker 4: By the way, I see Jim Rogers, and I just
Speaker 4: wanted to make sure that I that he knows I
Speaker 4: specifically wore the SWOL shirt for him tonight.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: He's always talking to me about it on Mondays. What's
Speaker 4: Doyle got to say here right now?
Speaker 2: O'doyle rules, o'doyle says, Uh, Doyle, you guys need to
Speaker 2: talk about the greatest tournament in history. It's being run
Speaker 2: by Dougie. It's called the Diddy and the pattern is
Speaker 2: called baby oil. This is an actual, real tournament on
Speaker 2: November ninth. To win, you have to be a bad boy, all.
Speaker 4: Right, So number one, Doyle, thank you for this. I
Speaker 4: actually have to call Douggie now. If you can actually
Speaker 4: get him on the on the phone, we will gladly
Speaker 4: send him a link and invite him on the shell.
Speaker 4: I've wanted Douggie on the show for a long time. Oh, Dougie,
Speaker 4: you're here. If you would like to pop on real
Speaker 4: quick and talk about the baby oil Diddy, I'm sure
Speaker 4: all of our viewers would like to hear it.
Speaker 5: If so, I mean, that's quite quite topical and culture like.
Speaker 5: So that's a that's a great one. I'm just gonna
Speaker 5: do you guys, do you're in tournament at some point
Speaker 5: or no? Did that never happen?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I can bowl on that stuff. I'm used to it.
Speaker 2: Here's my question for you.
Speaker 4: No, you do me a favor if you're in there, Bro,
Speaker 4: if you want to hop on the show real quick
Speaker 4: and say hi to everybody and talk a little bit
Speaker 4: about your tournament, shoot me a message on Facebook Messenger
Speaker 4: real quick with your email and I'll have Rob send
Speaker 4: you a link to hop on the show. Bro. He's
Speaker 4: got that kind of stroke. That's right, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I do have a question. Would it change any if
Speaker 2: you threw two handed.
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would uh just quit.
Speaker 2: Seriously, like what it helped?
Speaker 4: What it helps your I've tried well, no, no, now
Speaker 4: that you're that why you're not even gonna get your arm.
Speaker 4: You're no, that's gonna throw you way off spinners. Here's
Speaker 4: here's the problem. Here's here's the problem. I could probably
Speaker 4: try it, but I definitely neglect my lower half and
Speaker 4: my core. I am strictly an upper body weight like
Speaker 4: number body business. I'm not trying to get on stage.
Speaker 4: I'm if anything, all I'm trying to do with with
Speaker 4: my bodies is I just want to get a little
Speaker 4: bit bigger on top. I don't want my legs fucking
Speaker 4: rubbing against each other. And truth be told, the way
Speaker 4: that I train, If I train my bottom half the
Speaker 4: way I did my upper I'd be chafing all day.
Speaker 4: It's gross and then get parasitic. Look it up, everybody,
Speaker 4: And I'm certainly not going to get on stage and
Speaker 4: take my clothes off.
Speaker 5: Why waste a perfectly good day for those under appendages
Speaker 5: when you could add another chest day.
Speaker 4: And that's the problem.
Speaker 2: I'm all, I'm all lower body, upper I got nothing,
Speaker 2: So I think.
Speaker 4: Everybody should do chest five times a week and then anyway,
Speaker 4: since we can't get Dougie on tonight, we will say this, Doyle,
Speaker 4: thank you for the shout out for Dougie's tournament. Oh
Speaker 4: gladly one thousand percent Bowl of Baby Oil tournament. Let's
Speaker 4: go about anything that Dougie runs. He's one of the
Speaker 4: I've said this a million times on this show, and
Speaker 4: anybody that's ever bowled a Dougie vision event knows that
Speaker 4: he's not only the best promoter, best person, but he
Speaker 4: knows how to run a tournament correctly, efficiently. He's just
Speaker 4: the best. I wish we had fifty more of you
Speaker 4: in this sport. I won't. I won't get in because
Speaker 4: I want someone else to win. That's That's what I'm
Speaker 4: gonna do for you, guys.
Speaker 2: Chuck Ritzi was a comment of the night, wearing corduroys
Speaker 2: and starting fires with your your huge.
Speaker 4: Legs exactly how it is man parasitic.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, uh, let's talk about our buddy, David bug Kroll.
Speaker 2: Bug has been on roll as well lately, especially in
Speaker 2: the LBC. Obviously, he won the PBA Playoffs this year.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: He recently bowled the PBA Jack Jones Memorial Open, which
Speaker 2: was a West Regional and it was another testing point
Speaker 2: for string pins. And I know we've had several lengthy
Speaker 2: conversations about string pins on here, especially with Ryan Schaeffer
Speaker 2: who also bowled on it. But Boog kind of had
Speaker 2: just a quick little comment that he posted three days
Speaker 2: ago that he he finished fifth in the event. It
Speaker 2: was a string pin test event, and he said that
Speaker 2: it completely levels the playing field. He said shot making
Speaker 2: was more of a factor, which is pretty much what
Speaker 2: everybody is saying. He said he sent two messengers across
Speaker 2: twelve games and only saw about four to five weird
Speaker 2: string hits. And then he said, support this change for
Speaker 2: the industry. Now, you know, there's always somebody that maybe,
Speaker 2: let's just say an old school traditionalist that doesn't agree
Speaker 2: with it. And a lifelong pro regional bowler actually chimed
Speaker 2: in on his post and said, you're a top It's
Speaker 2: a Dave Malmick if anybody knows who that is. He said,
Speaker 2: you're top. Okay, you're a top professional on string pins.
Speaker 2: A high of two thirty nine but a one to
Speaker 2: fifty seventy one. They would destroy league bowling loud and unforgiving.
Speaker 2: If they builded, bowlers will not come like Lehigh PBA
Speaker 2: this year ten miles away and it was one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty people max uh two towns away at Fort Myers,
Speaker 2: and there's only forty nine bowlers in Lehigh. No Chris Barnes,
Speaker 2: no Pete Weber, no Parker Bone. They didn't want to
Speaker 2: justify them by even bowling. And the next week, just
Speaker 2: one hundred miles away with clear water, people don't and
Speaker 2: most won't bowl on string pins. He said that he
Speaker 2: not only bowled that tournament, but wrote about it in
Speaker 2: Facebook and Bowler's Journal, which is the only reason that
Speaker 2: he bowled. And you know, Bug said, I appreciate your
Speaker 2: feedback and taking time to comment. I know it's a
Speaker 2: hot topic in the community, but he feels it's his
Speaker 2: responsibility as a professional and to represent of the sport
Speaker 2: to give tournaments like this a chance, and he will
Speaker 2: always gladly take part in test tournaments and give his
Speaker 2: honest feedback. And he's like, you said, you're right, I
Speaker 2: didn't I didn't bowl the best, which even for the
Speaker 2: top professional that happens. But if you ask any guys
Speaker 2: in the tour, they all have bad days or bad games,
Speaker 2: and they'll always tell you the truth. So do you
Speaker 2: kind of get what Dave is saying? Like, not enough
Speaker 2: pros may be behind it at this point, especially in
Speaker 2: the regional level, when you know you have a lot
Speaker 2: of older guys that they're still on a tour and
Speaker 2: a lot of traditional guys as opposed to the national
Speaker 2: tour where typically you have obviously the younger guys who
Speaker 2: are all throwing different styles and different balls, different different approaches,
Speaker 2: different releases, one handed, two handed, just sticking with sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm all over played, sticking with the regional sentiment. If
Speaker 2: they're going to keep doing this, do you think that
Speaker 2: it won't draw any bowlers? Like he's saying.
Speaker 4: So, here's my dead honest opinion. People will always bitch
Speaker 4: about things that are new. A person is smart and
Speaker 4: people are dumb. We watch it all the time. A
Speaker 4: person has the ability to assess the situation. But if
Speaker 4: a person gets in a group with a lot of
Speaker 4: other persons and they all collectively have one agenda, even
Speaker 4: if that person doesn't believe the agenda, they'll join the
Speaker 4: group right right. My dad. For instance, my dad's seventy seven.
Speaker 4: My dad still like writes out directions on a piece
Speaker 4: of paper. My dad would still print out map quest directions.
Speaker 4: My dad like, my dad still sends snail mail when
Speaker 4: he sends bills, he deposits checks at the bank. It's
Speaker 4: nothing against my dad, but my dad will bitch about
Speaker 4: I'm not doing this automated shit. I'm not letting them
Speaker 4: get my information this way, right. That's something that a
Speaker 4: seventy seven year old person, it's totally normal for them
Speaker 4: to think about, Yeah, I'm forty years old. You want
Speaker 4: to what turns me off the most about women? When
Speaker 4: they literally inject fake asses and fake lips. That's the
Speaker 4: grossest thing to me on the goddamn planet. I'd rather
Speaker 4: see a woman wake up in the morning with no
Speaker 4: makeup on and see what they look like than ever
Speaker 4: have to kiss something that had something injected in them.
Speaker 4: It's for me, right, But if you ask a twenty
Speaker 4: one year old, they may say they think that's hot.
Speaker 4: If you ask a forty year old to go deposit
Speaker 4: their checks via male with a stamp, they look at
Speaker 4: you like you're crazy. I mean, or go to a
Speaker 4: bank to deposit a check. You know what I'm getting
Speaker 4: out here.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: So every time something that's introduced is new, people are
Speaker 4: always going to backlash about it. So in the sport
Speaker 4: of bowling, nobody has ever seen string pins in a
Speaker 4: competitive environment. We've gone in bold on short lanes, we've
Speaker 4: gone in bold like duck pins and candlepins recreationally, but
Speaker 4: we've never walked into a bowling alley and watch the
Speaker 4: pins go up on strings. It's almost like a carnival
Speaker 4: game to basically everybody that watches bowling. Somebody in the
Speaker 4: comment said, I don't really care about the strings. That
Speaker 4: care they get tangled up. Yeah, they get tangled up
Speaker 4: on the short stub lanes on the cruise ship too.
Speaker 4: It's a carnival game. But if in fifteen years or
Speaker 4: twenty years the same way. Twenty years ago, everybody said
Speaker 4: Belmo's not gonna last two hands is stupid, It's it's
Speaker 4: ruining the game. He's gonna have injuries, He's gonna have this. Yeah, meanwhile,
Speaker 4: he's most decorated bowler ever. Now twenty years later and
Speaker 4: now seventy percent of the population throws it with two hands,
Speaker 4: when twenty years ago seventy percent of the population said,
Speaker 4: this guy's fucking stupid, This is stupid, this is cheating. Yeah,
Speaker 4: anything they wanted to fucking say. Right, The same thing
Speaker 4: is happening with the string pins. This is brand new
Speaker 4: to everybody. But in twenty years from now, if the
Speaker 4: only remaining bowling centers in the world are all string pins,
Speaker 4: anybody that actually likes bowling even this much will in
Speaker 4: a string pin center. So you got ye. I'm not
Speaker 4: into electric cars. I think there's a lot of perks
Speaker 4: about them. I think they're really really cool. If you
Speaker 4: have enough money and you want to get a charging
Speaker 4: port on your driveway, if you want a car that
Speaker 4: drives you home when you're drunk, you know, I mean
Speaker 4: like it. It's amazing. But do I necessarily want to
Speaker 4: drive cross country and have to find a charging port. No,
Speaker 4: I'd rather find a gas station or the last gas
Speaker 4: for two hundred miles. I have a choice to either transition,
Speaker 4: because in twenty or twenty five years everything is going
Speaker 4: to be an electric car. Right now, we're still allowed
Speaker 4: to drive gas cars. I don't want to make the transition,
Speaker 4: but I'm still young enough slash old enough that I'm okay,
Speaker 4: going either direction because it's the way the world works.
Speaker 4: You either evolve or you die. That's all there is
Speaker 4: to it. I don't want to throw eurothane on the
Speaker 4: bowling lanes. I'm pretty sure eighty percent of the lefties
Speaker 4: also don't want to throw it, but it's our best
Speaker 4: chance to throw strikes. Right, it's you either evolve or
Speaker 4: you die. Right, You're right, that's kind of my stance
Speaker 4: on all of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we've talked about this at length, but that's
Speaker 2: a great point. You either evolve or you die, and
Speaker 2: there's plenty I say, oh, I'm never going to bowl
Speaker 2: on those If they put him in and I don't
Speaker 2: have a choice, I'll just quit bowling. Well, okay, sure.
Speaker 4: Like the next question I'd like to ask those people is,
Speaker 4: so let me get this straight. You've bowled four leagues
Speaker 4: a week for the last forty five years. Yeah, which
Speaker 4: means Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday your day is planned
Speaker 4: around work and bowling because bowling is going to occupy
Speaker 4: at least twelve hours of your week. So if you're
Speaker 4: gonna quit because you don't like string pins, what are
Speaker 4: you going to do at the ripe Old age of sixty.
Speaker 4: That's gonna entertain you for those extra twelve hours a week, right,
Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, dude, my dad is seventy.
Speaker 4: Seventy is a hard time getting to the foul line
Speaker 4: right now. Not a lot of people know that because
Speaker 4: my dad's still healthy enough and aware enough. But my
Speaker 4: dad's never going to average two twenty ever again. And
Speaker 4: if he does, it would be it would be a
Speaker 4: miracle year. But you bet you're ask my dad still
Speaker 4: goes to the bowling alley and practices every day. It's
Speaker 4: all he's known forever. Right. You can't tell somebody who's
Speaker 4: been wired for that long that all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: oh well, I'm just gonna quit because now it's a
Speaker 4: carnival game. In my eyes, it's it just it doesn't
Speaker 4: it works that way on the surface. But eventually, I
Speaker 4: think what happens is it dies out a little bit.
Speaker 4: It just like anything else, man, It eventually mellows out,
Speaker 4: and the people that love the sport will always be here.
Speaker 4: And the people that don't love it enough. They're not
Speaker 4: leaving bowling because they hate strengthens. They're leaving bowling because
Speaker 4: they found something better to do more fun to do,
Speaker 4: like in other words, like there's a bunch of people
Speaker 4: that like, Hey, I don't bowl on Thursday nights anymore
Speaker 4: because I joined a billiard league followed by an axe
Speaker 4: throwing league and that's fun. And it costs ten dollars
Speaker 4: a week instead of forty and first place at the
Speaker 4: end of the season is five thousand instead of two thousand.
Speaker 4: That's totally acceptable.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: You get to spend the same amount of time, make
Speaker 4: more money, enjoy yourself the exact same way, and life
Speaker 4: is good, right.
Speaker 2: Absolutely right? Uh, Troy, what's up? Brother, dude? How cool
Speaker 2: did to see Troy pick up a fucking ball? The
Speaker 2: ball again and watch that glorious swing. We're still pulling
Speaker 2: for you, Troy, to get healthy, but man, it's really
Speaker 2: good to see you back on the lanes. I could
Speaker 2: watch your ball all day long.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 2: But he says these string pins were pretty fair from
Speaker 2: what he observed. A lot of pros are saying the
Speaker 2: same thing. But again, if all centers happen to change,
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? You literally either or you
Speaker 2: don't exactly, and don't bitch about it, because you can't
Speaker 2: stop change. You can't stop progress. As much as we
Speaker 2: want to. And look, I don't like change either, Johnny.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm forty eight years old, and I'm kind of
Speaker 2: a I'm a routine kind of guy, and I like
Speaker 2: having the same things and you know, just different patterns
Speaker 2: and stuff that I gravitate too, And I don't like
Speaker 2: fucking change the things. That's just the nature of being
Speaker 2: a human being. Honestly, when you get older, it clearly
Speaker 2: gets harder to do because we just get stuck in
Speaker 2: our ways. But totally, we're not gonna We're not gonna
Speaker 2: have a choice if this goes full through. And why
Speaker 2: would they Why would they put that much money into
Speaker 2: it if it wasn't gonna be the future of the sport.
Speaker 4: That's dude. I look at it this way because again,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm at the age where I've transitioned enough to
Speaker 4: like try and be relatable to say, my parents, right.
Speaker 4: I remember I loved video games when I was a kid, dude,
Speaker 4: But I love video games from original Nintendo to like
Speaker 4: PlayStation two, maybe like the beginning of PlayStation three. That
Speaker 4: was my era of video games. I think the last
Speaker 4: game I ever actually played was like Grand Theft Auto
Speaker 4: three or maybe Vice City for any gamers out there.
Speaker 4: And then once Xbox came out and shit like that
Speaker 4: where it's like, oh, you can sink, you can you
Speaker 4: can play with friends over here, you can do this.
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is way too fucking much for me.
Speaker 4: Give me Mario Kart, give me GoldenEye, give me Mario
Speaker 4: Brothers three. That's all I need. And I eventually I
Speaker 4: was It was young. I was young enough that I
Speaker 4: just said, no, I don't. I don't want to fucking
Speaker 4: play video games anymore. This is not for me anymore.
Speaker 4: I have no interest in Fortnite or Halo or anything
Speaker 4: like that. I have no problem with people that do.
Speaker 4: But I lost I lost that, yeah right, And that
Speaker 4: happened in like what my my teens, into my twenties
Speaker 4: or whatever it was. It happens at every single level
Speaker 4: in life. There is always shit that drops off that
Speaker 4: you actually don't care enough about and replace it with
Speaker 4: something different. Sure, and it happens, I would assume it.
Speaker 4: Chuck's talking about Gallaghan. My dad is one of the
Speaker 4: best pac Man players ever. I stopped playing pac Man
Speaker 4: when I was twelve. It wasn't enjoyable to me. The
Speaker 4: same way in the movie clueless. When fucking Travis sits
Speaker 4: up and asks me their hall, he says, the way
Speaker 4: I feel about the rolling stones is the way my
Speaker 4: kids are going to feel about nine inch nails, So
Speaker 4: I probably shouldn't torment my mom anymore.
Speaker 2: Right, that's fair.
Speaker 4: It's a like be aware of it, but like, don't
Speaker 4: make it your entire life. Either. Go with the flow,
Speaker 4: like Bruce Lee says, be like water, which means basically,
Speaker 4: whenever water ripples, it never stops. It just goes a
Speaker 4: different direction, It goes exactly where it has to go,
Speaker 4: and it just continues. Right. You can either have that
Speaker 4: method of thinking, or you can fight the inevitable and
Speaker 4: bash your head against the wall, lose your hair earlier,
Speaker 4: be stressful your entire life, and bitch a people for
Speaker 4: spilling a drink in the vicinity of where you have
Speaker 4: to walk, right, you know it's yeah, man, I look
Speaker 4: at everybody popping out with the goddamn games. Well, now
Speaker 4: all I want to do is play Sonic on Sega
Speaker 4: and go fucking destroy Soda Pop and Mike Tyson's punching.
Speaker 2: And Oach will play Technobile Because that's pretty much all
Speaker 2: you told was.
Speaker 4: As long as he's not Bo Jackson. I'll play him.
Speaker 4: He can't take the Raiders in that game. It's not fair.
Speaker 2: You can't. It's not fair at all. All right, I
Speaker 2: don't know where Oach is, but you did want to
Speaker 2: talk about. Oh, hang on, Holly wants to know. Can
Speaker 2: we still order shirts off the website?
Speaker 4: Holly, we ran into a little hiccup with our distributor.
Speaker 4: Thank goodness, we finally got all the pre orders out today.
Speaker 4: Rob and I are actually in the midst of looking
Speaker 4: for a new supplier, so hold off on that. I'll
Speaker 4: contact you directly and I will answer your message earlier
Speaker 4: about the tournament flyer that you sent. You just actually
Speaker 4: happened to send it as soon as we were coming on,
Speaker 4: so I promise I will make sure I get that
Speaker 4: to you while we're also here. Jeff, your Pure Envy
Speaker 4: was actually sent out today. When we get off today,
Speaker 4: I will send you the tracking information it's coming FedEx.
Speaker 4: Nice and what else do I have? That's good?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Rob, now that's cool, And thank you Holly
Speaker 2: for that question. Because somebody else had mentioned me earlier today.
Speaker 2: It was Michael Jennings, and I told him we were
Speaker 2: we should actually literally shipped today and we were in
Speaker 2: into an issue as you said, and we're looking for
Speaker 2: a new supplier and distributor, so we do bear with us.
Speaker 4: We will work it out and listen, I'm gonna take
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take full responsibility here. I hate throwing other
Speaker 4: people under the bus. And uh again for everybody, it
Speaker 4: was my first ever shot as a business owner, entrepreneur,
Speaker 4: whatever it is, and uh, I had to crush some
Speaker 4: fucking skulls, but we got it done. And again, I'm
Speaker 4: sincerely apologetic to everybody who's waited this long and gracious
Speaker 4: to all of you who did pre order shirt. So
Speaker 4: thank you all so much.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we will will keep you apprized of what
Speaker 2: we do moving forward, but we do appreciate it everybody
Speaker 2: getting involved. Uh so league talk you wanted to mention, uh,
Speaker 2: because we haven't talked about league in a few weeks
Speaker 2: with our guests on and all that. So uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll have you been bowling recently.
Speaker 4: I always start to bowl better when it starts to
Speaker 4: cool down. My best months in my entire history of
Speaker 4: bowling has always been from October to February. For some reason,
Speaker 4: I just bowl really, really, really well, dj Ricky Smith,
Speaker 4: I'm not on Ditty's list, even though I'm a fucking
Speaker 4: fanatic when it comes to baby oil. So we can
Speaker 4: take that as you want. Uh, but where are we
Speaker 4: going with this? What are we talking?
Speaker 2: The memes alone on Ditty have been fucking tremendous, like
Speaker 2: the Internet is beautiful.
Speaker 4: No, you know, you know, to be honest. So this
Speaker 4: is my first ever season living in New Jersey and
Speaker 4: not bowling league at Carolier which is now Bolero in
Speaker 4: North Brunswick.
Speaker 2: It's still Caroly Fuck it. We're always gonna call it career, right.
Speaker 4: So instead I'm actually bowling the bowling center owned and
Speaker 4: operated by one of the most well known families in
Speaker 4: the bowling industry of the Martino family, over at Majestic
Speaker 4: Lanes and Hope Lawn, Okay, and I'm thoroughly enjoying bowling there.
Speaker 4: It's a true five person scratch league, thirty three points
Speaker 4: available every night, one hundred to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: dollars in side act every single night. A lot of
Speaker 4: players in there, and the East Coast vibe on the
Speaker 4: bowling lanes is just a little bit different than the West.
Speaker 4: The West is a little bit more relaxed, a little
Speaker 4: bit more laxadaisical. I would almost say, whereas the East Coast,
Speaker 4: everybody's a little bit more cutthroat. Everybody wants to bowl
Speaker 4: three hundred every game, which in turn like turns my
Speaker 4: brain on when I bowl. So I absolutely love not
Speaker 4: only bowling in the Martinoz facility, but also with the
Speaker 4: team I'm bowling with. I'm bowling with a batch of
Speaker 4: four guys I've never met before prior to being there
Speaker 4: this summer, and I've grown to love them very much.
Speaker 4: And We're struggling in the early going, but I feel
Speaker 4: like we're gonna come on strong. We got a lot
Speaker 4: of weeks left and then Monday, I'm bowling with the
Speaker 4: fucking what's the word? Do you give me? The incomparable
Speaker 4: Nick Dambrosio, along with my girl Emerald and uh oh
Speaker 4: now Marvin, the legendary house hack of Howell Lanes, and
Speaker 4: we are currently in first place on Mondays through four
Speaker 4: or five weeks or whatever it is.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 4: Just honestly it's I'm I'm kind of entered the bowling
Speaker 4: season with a slightly different mentality this year. This is
Speaker 4: not like Vegas, where I could do whatever I want
Speaker 4: and wear shorts and flip flops in December. This is like, hey,
Speaker 4: it's getting cold, I go to the gym, I take
Speaker 4: my dog out for a quick piss and shit, and
Speaker 4: I go bowling. And it's, uh, it's it's it's I'm
Speaker 4: I'm cozy. I'm throwing it very very well, considering the
Speaker 4: fact that my lads are too big. And but yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean so far, it's been a really, really beautiful
Speaker 4: season so far. To open up.
Speaker 2: And you're having fun, right, I mean that right now.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're not, if you don't care about
Speaker 2: being that competitive, I mean, you're you're having fun. You
Speaker 2: still love bowling, it's in your blood. But I mean
Speaker 2: you're not looking to I mean, you're not looking to
Speaker 2: fucking you're always looking to win. Where am I going
Speaker 2: with it? I am, I'm dude taking a week off.
Speaker 2: Fuck me up. Now you're having fun now, which is
Speaker 2: the most important part.
Speaker 4: I I totally understand what you're saying. And yes, I
Speaker 4: am having fun. And when I'm there, I'm in a
Speaker 4: good headspace. I go there properly this season. Last year,
Speaker 4: like I would go play golf, get obliterated on the
Speaker 4: golf course, and then go try and bowl and think
Speaker 4: that I needed the booze. Now it's like, I'll go
Speaker 4: to the gym, I'll eat twelve ounces of steak, a
Speaker 4: cup of rice, I'll take a ship, I'll take a shower,
Speaker 4: you know, like all that good stuff, and then I'll
Speaker 4: go to league and my body will be ready and
Speaker 4: my body is like any normal human would, which is
Speaker 4: totally different for me now. But yeah, it's it's a
Speaker 4: totally different mindset. Nick's got some new bowling balls my
Speaker 4: team on Monday. Not only do we have the greatest
Speaker 4: chemistry ever, but we have a solid bowling team. There
Speaker 4: are no holes in our lineup whatsoever. And that's intimidating
Speaker 4: to everybody that you're up against. And I'm a chemistry
Speaker 4: major too, by the way, science I'm an applied science,
Speaker 4: which somehow relates to criminology and not his science. But
Speaker 4: he still knows.
Speaker 2: Now, everybody knows who you are, obviously, especially since you're
Speaker 2: back in Jersey and you you've grew up here your
Speaker 2: whole life.
Speaker 4: Pretty much talk about him, right.
Speaker 2: No, No, talk about you. We don't know where each
Speaker 2: is from. It just he just happens to wander. He's
Speaker 2: the Wonderer. We all know that he's the Wonderer. Do
Speaker 2: you still feel any pressure to perform.
Speaker 4: For myself, not for anybody else?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's where I was.
Speaker 4: I expect. I expect to beat the living shit out
Speaker 4: of everybody every time I'm on the lanes, and that's
Speaker 4: all I expect. So when I don't, it bothers me. Okay,
Speaker 4: So like people will, they'll say to me, like, dude,
Speaker 4: how could you go stone eight, stone nine, ring seven
Speaker 4: and then turn around and act like you threw a
Speaker 4: strike and like be smiling and just go shoot it
Speaker 4: like nothing happened. Because in my brain, I say I
Speaker 4: am so much better than everybody else that if I
Speaker 4: left those three in a row, there's no way anybody
Speaker 4: else threw a turkey, and I will throw a turkey
Speaker 4: like I'll figure it out. It's that kind of And
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't believe that all the time. And
Speaker 4: I don't say that in like a narcissistic fashion. I'm
Speaker 4: saying that because that's the way my brain operates. When
Speaker 4: I go in the gym and I lift weights, I
Speaker 4: don't care if I'm bigger than everybody else. I don't
Speaker 4: look at anybody else. I go there to do my job,
Speaker 4: and honestly, one of the most humbling things in the
Speaker 4: world is like, even though most men that lift weights
Speaker 4: are going to the gym to like look pretty and
Speaker 4: gain the the like the eye of the opposite sex. Well,
Speaker 4: I should probably say that a little bit more conservatively
Speaker 4: in these days, but anyway, most guys that go lift
Speaker 4: weights are going there to aesthetically look more pleasing, right,
Speaker 4: And I said this to him earlier ourselves naked too, man,
Speaker 4: That's I said to him. I've I've been approached by
Speaker 4: five or six different men at the gym that I
Speaker 4: go to, and they asked me what my weight is,
Speaker 4: what my diets like, what my routines like, and they
Speaker 4: go out of their way to like compliment me and
Speaker 4: ask me questions. That's more humbling than anything else in
Speaker 4: the world. Timbros are cooler than three. They appreciate the
Speaker 4: grind the same way we appreciate the grind of bowlers
Speaker 4: or anything else that we love.
Speaker 2: Right now, now, while you're not drinking and bowling anymore,
Speaker 2: how do you quiet your mind? Because you said that
Speaker 2: was a big help in kind of just fucking chilling
Speaker 2: you out or smoking, you know, a joint or whatever,
Speaker 2: Like how are you now when you're on the lanes,
Speaker 2: like you just plug in your head your earbuds and
Speaker 2: just tune out.
Speaker 4: No, tell you the truth. So I do drink once
Speaker 4: a week now, Like when I have a day off,
Speaker 4: I will typically drink the night before, and for about
Speaker 4: the last two months, my day, my rest day is Wednesday. Okay,
Speaker 4: So on Tuesday, it's a five person league that's arts
Speaker 4: at seven point thirty an hour from my home, So
Speaker 4: I'll drink on Tuesday. I'll play pool afterwards. I'm friends
Speaker 4: with the bartenders. I'm friends with all the bowlers, So
Speaker 4: I enjoy my one day for about four or five hours.
Speaker 4: But I make sure that I drink for every shot
Speaker 4: at tequila I have, because anybody that knows me knows
Speaker 4: that's my drink. I drink eight ounces of water. So
Speaker 4: I'll go in with my bowling bag and my backpack
Speaker 4: and I'll have five or six poll in spring bottles,
Speaker 4: and every time I choose to have a shot, I'll
Speaker 4: drink six ounces of the water. The way I can
Speaker 4: stay at least mentally focused enough. But on the nights
Speaker 4: that I don't drink, no, I don't smoke weed anymore.
Speaker 4: When I bowl, I eat properly, I shower. If anything,
Speaker 4: I may pop a few advil just in case I
Speaker 4: have like some joint pain or something like that. And
Speaker 4: I just go bowl and I people watch. I observe
Speaker 4: what's going on around me. Oh, this person's playing this arrow,
Speaker 4: this person's wrung four consecutive ten pins on this pair.
Speaker 4: This way you're watching me, I guess you know, like
Speaker 4: I'm kind of more into what's going on around me
Speaker 4: rather than the the diseases focus your whole bowling out.
Speaker 4: My focus used to be get enough alcohol in me
Speaker 4: that I don't even have to know where I am
Speaker 4: to be coherent.
Speaker 5: But still, how about that autopilot switch you got, because
Speaker 5: you can still fucking bang it out though, Ain't that
Speaker 5: the ship that like he can go in there and
Speaker 5: get freaking torqued up, throw on autopilot, shoot seven eighty
Speaker 5: and be like, oh yeah seven eighty.
Speaker 4: No, weig doing okay? Well, you got to think, man,
Speaker 4: I mean, let's just look at those trillion shots. I
Speaker 4: get it. But this bowling show is based around bowling.
Speaker 4: But we also talk about life issues. We talk about addiction,
Speaker 4: we talk about the way the brain operates. I definitely
Speaker 4: I don't know this for certain, but I definitely have
Speaker 4: some kind of ADHD, something where my brain is just
Speaker 4: overactive all the time you want to go for a
Speaker 4: bike ride. Sure, he's right, But what happens is when
Speaker 4: I'm bowling, all those overactive thoughts sometimes they overactively get
Speaker 4: negative in my brain. But when I drink alcohol, they
Speaker 4: they always say that the thing about alcohol is that
Speaker 4: it inhibits your ability to assess what's more important. Right,
Speaker 4: So that's the downfall, But the up the upside of
Speaker 4: it is it also allows you to not worry about
Speaker 4: the downside. So like what I'll do is, if I
Speaker 4: get drunk enough, I'll say, yeah, I'll throw one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty dollars into the pots, even though I don't
Speaker 4: have it. But now what i'm bowling, the only thing
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about is, Man, how fast are the pin's
Speaker 4: going to fall on this shot? I'm not thinking about
Speaker 4: thumbing it down or being sluggish to the foul line
Speaker 4: or missing a sparrow. That's the hell of a motivation too.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's it's almost like, yeah, it's almost like
Speaker 5: it's almost like pop or action bowling like back in
Speaker 5: the seventies or something like that, when mobs were freaking
Speaker 5: calmbing in throwing.
Speaker 4: It's almost like you don't have any other you don't
Speaker 4: have any other options, like it's either kill or be killed,
Speaker 4: but you need to perform at that level.
Speaker 2: That's too Yeah, That's why I was just curious to
Speaker 2: see how you are mentally now since you're not, you
Speaker 2: don't have those vices anymore. And you used to say
Speaker 2: that it was easier to go out and bowl when
Speaker 2: you were fucked up.
Speaker 4: So Rob they always say that, like, don't ever live
Speaker 4: a life with regret. I've done a lot of shitty
Speaker 4: things in my life, but I've learned something from all
Speaker 4: of them. And I guess the other thing is as
Speaker 4: you get a little bit older, you just mature a
Speaker 4: little bit mentally. So I'm not sitting there like frantic anymore.
Speaker 4: I'm saying there's more important things in my life, like
Speaker 4: not going to prison because I get a DUI, not
Speaker 4: killing somebody on my way home, not getting so obliterated
Speaker 4: that not only can I not c straight, but I
Speaker 4: need the owner of the bowling alley to say, hey, John,
Speaker 4: you've had enough. You need us to call you a
Speaker 4: cab home, Like, that's embarrassing. Man. Forget about what everybody
Speaker 4: else is looking at or saying about you. That's embarrassing
Speaker 4: to you as a person. And eventually, when it happens enough,
Speaker 4: you just don't want it to happen anymore, right, Right,
Speaker 4: So now what I'll do is like I have a number,
Speaker 4: and this is gonna be this is gonna sound crazy.
Speaker 4: But anybody that's ever drank alcohol and knows me, you
Speaker 4: know I'm an open book. You know, those like thirty
Speaker 4: dollars bottles of Cuervo that you would get in I
Speaker 4: don't even know what are they? Seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: mili liter bottle, think that's about the basic one.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: Where's that fireball bottle yonder if you can grab that.
Speaker 4: I'm curious how many mills that is, but we can
Speaker 4: just not to fuck it, alright, But let's just say
Speaker 4: a seven hundred and fifty MILLI bottle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: For twelve years in Vegas, I would bowl at South
Speaker 4: Point at seven pm on Tuesdays. I would drink three
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy five mills of that bottle before I
Speaker 4: got to South Point, and then I would get to
Speaker 4: South Point at like four four thirty, and then I
Speaker 4: would probably drink ten or twelve shots downstairs at the
Speaker 4: Grand View Lounge before I went up to bowl. So
Speaker 4: I was a solid bottle of tequila deep every single
Speaker 4: time I boldly on Tuesday. Prior to starting practice. It
Speaker 4: was your average four yeah, thirty six. But well, what
Speaker 4: what I'm saying is is it it's gross and and
Speaker 4: now Jesus, I mean.
Speaker 2: And it costs you a lot obviously in your personal life.
Speaker 4: Actually, it didn't cost me a lot in Vegas. Well, no,
Speaker 4: of course, it didn't cost me a lot in Vegas.
Speaker 4: In Vegas, I'm pretty sure that's why I drank so much.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 4: And I love what I love what Roger said here,
Speaker 4: and honestly half joking and half serious. What did happen
Speaker 4: was eventually my body said, fuck you, you're gonna die
Speaker 4: unless you changed something. And that's exactly because the liver
Speaker 4: started like peeling out of his skin.
Speaker 5: It was like much like when Jim was an alien,
Speaker 5: remember Alien, when he started coming out in the beginning,
Speaker 5: Like the liver started piercing out on the right side,
Speaker 5: and then doctors like, we gotta put that back in
Speaker 5: your enzymes are a little elevated.
Speaker 4: But and he wasn't in bulk modes either, So that's
Speaker 4: why now Mama, Mama Phyllis who's always here, and Mama
Speaker 4: Phyllis came to see me in the hospital. I was
Speaker 4: driving home from South Point back to my condo in Vegas,
Speaker 4: and my entire left side did this. I couldn't even
Speaker 4: raise my left hand onto the wheel. Thank god. There
Speaker 4: was an urgent care off Blue Diamond and she and
Speaker 4: she came to see me, and I was it was
Speaker 4: pretty close. Man. It's a little different when you're when
Speaker 4: you're dancing with death that you inflicted upon yourself, and
Speaker 4: that's that's pretty gross. Just got really deep tonight, unt
Speaker 4: so deep. Oh, I can barely lift my right arm.
Speaker 2: No, I like it. And it's been a while since
Speaker 2: we've had talk.
Speaker 4: Because I jumped in.
Speaker 5: I was like, he's gonna ask me a question any second,
Speaker 5: don't matter now to league talk, to be a dad,
Speaker 5: take care of the daughter.
Speaker 4: And I come out and I'm like, oh, maybe we
Speaker 4: didn't know where you went. That's all right now, where
Speaker 4: you're fine. I didn't mean it like that. I didn't
Speaker 4: mean it like that.
Speaker 5: I meant like, okay, I'm sure there's so many women
Speaker 5: out there that want to get me back in, So
Speaker 5: let's get on the show.
Speaker 4: All right? Then here take the take the cross and
Speaker 4: was that what we was?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 4: Leak talk? Yes, Lee, you're turn to talk about League bron.
Speaker 2: Congrats on not having a drink for a year and
Speaker 2: Quentin smoking. That's that's good on you. Brother. Here, this
Speaker 2: is for you. He's always how long can you go
Speaker 2: without pop Eyes?
Speaker 4: But we can't? Okay, all right, that's not bad. That's
Speaker 4: not bad.
Speaker 2: I'm working on it. I've lost twenty five pounds again.
Speaker 2: I don't know where it went.
Speaker 4: You know where it went?
Speaker 2: You find it? Let me Yeah, in my pain went
Speaker 2: where the camera ate?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Exactly? So leak talk, what are you to? Eighteen two, nineteen? Ouch?
Speaker 4: Where we at?
Speaker 5: I was at twenty one? And you know we have
Speaker 5: this ten ten drop off which I wish was in
Speaker 5: twenty ten. Sure, No, honestly, damn this thing. I come
Speaker 5: out week one now again. Ocho, being a supreme athlete,
Speaker 5: leaves his bowling balls in his car through the worst
Speaker 5: heat leave in New Jersey history. Sure, and uh then
Speaker 5: I get to the ball an alley and I start
Speaker 5: throwing strikes in practice. Unbeknownst to me, I realize, oh right,
Speaker 5: I'm Ocho, because I forgot for a second. Then the
Speaker 5: game starts and I start throwing strikes, and I went,
Speaker 5: oh my god, that's right, I'm Ocho. It's easy because
Speaker 5: I got the big red whiffle bat right.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 5: We're now we're going back four weeks. Now we got
Speaker 5: to remember. Now, that's the other thing. I took off
Speaker 5: the entire summer, shot at six eighty the first week,
Speaker 5: you know, unintentionally I thought I would do worse. The
Speaker 5: next week it was maybe six forty ish or something
Speaker 5: like that. And then the last last two weeks. So
Speaker 5: the last week not this past one, No, they've not
Speaker 5: this pass one. The week prior, I'm throwing a bowling
Speaker 5: ball and my finger grip goes down the lane. Oh sugar,
Speaker 5: grip down the lane, down a lane, into the gutter.
Speaker 5: But the ball perfect strike. Because what can't Oucho do?
Speaker 5: I of course, I'm a saviolist. I always have glue
Speaker 5: on me and whatnot. For people who talk too much,
Speaker 5: I move them out.
Speaker 2: Who retrieved who retrieved the grip?
Speaker 5: The person that is behind the desk, who is trained
Speaker 5: and had never done it before in her life.
Speaker 4: Gone down the lane?
Speaker 2: Did she walk down?
Speaker 4: It looked like she was playing hopscotch. She's on the
Speaker 4: freaking gutter rails.
Speaker 5: She's in the gutter. She's on the gutter rail. I
Speaker 5: swear to god, she's playing hopscotch with my damn finger drip.
Speaker 5: So I don't even switch balls. This it's lock tight.
Speaker 5: So I know within about thirty seconds we're good. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I don't know, so you don't know what kind
Speaker 5: of tentativeness is going. But I threw another strike. I
Speaker 5: didn't bowl that good, honestly, I was. I'm at two
Speaker 5: seventeen right now. Uh I shot six eighty eight last
Speaker 5: week because eight ten pins last week, made all of them. Actually,
Speaker 5: so nine ten pins a week before missed one. Just
Speaker 5: saying so about And I'm going through every bowling ball,
Speaker 5: and that's the same bawling balls that I have. I
Speaker 5: have the I know him now, I got actually got him.
Speaker 4: I got him. I have a shifter, no no gravity,
Speaker 4: shifting gravity. Okay, I got a purple ball, that's the
Speaker 4: purple one.
Speaker 5: But it was the purple one. I got the renner,
Speaker 5: the winner solid. Is that what it's called winner solid
Speaker 5: fuck and just say it's called a wrecker. Can you
Speaker 5: just say it's called the record? Okay, I got the wrecker. Yes,
Speaker 5: Now the wrecker is the one that the finger grip
Speaker 5: and it's got a giant split in between the finger grips,
Speaker 5: which that's.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna come back down. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I put JB's a POxy in there too, so don't
Speaker 5: tell anybody that's okay. I've only I missed seventeen ten
Speaker 5: pins all last year. I've already missed three this year,
Speaker 5: just saying, of course I don't know.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. How do you know many I've had?
Speaker 4: I could have been three and said I missed all
Speaker 4: three ten pins.
Speaker 2: We need to know the hard hitting stuff on this show.
Speaker 5: Do I wear a mask? By the way, and now
Speaker 5: don't worry about it. I'm big red whistle batting it
Speaker 5: because now I got h.
Speaker 4: The mojo.
Speaker 2: Do you take your mask off or do you keep
Speaker 2: your mask on when you ball?
Speaker 4: What mask?
Speaker 5: What mask are you guys talking about? Thank you for
Speaker 5: the league, and we'll see who's wearing a mask and
Speaker 5: who isn't.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yes, DJ Ricky Smith, that wrecker the
Speaker 4: og one of the best balls ever made, and that's
Speaker 4: coming from a Brunswick guy.
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 4: Which ball is that the one who's talking about ten
Speaker 4: years old? Oh? Oh the og Oh fucking a OG record.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's bad as honestly, so like it's the ball
Speaker 5: to go to because everything it's the only one that
Speaker 5: always plays the same, if the heads get burnt up,
Speaker 5: or if the freaking hole ship dries up, like you
Speaker 5: can only have the two boards left and you just
Speaker 5: throw it the same.
Speaker 4: Everything, everything does the same. There are some balls like that.
Speaker 4: Why won't it? Why why does it? Why is it it?
Speaker 4: Stay in freaking relevance?
Speaker 2: Man, Amanda, if I imagine if outro knew his equipment.
Speaker 5: Oh oh, Amanda, I know my equipment believes me. Wait,
Speaker 5: that's a very vague question. Hold on, no, it is, yes,
Speaker 5: or I guess I should.
Speaker 2: Say we mask to protect his ones.
Speaker 4: It was a good aggressive I'm totally fine with it.
Speaker 2: It goes you know this, this show is getting off
Speaker 2: the rails. Chuck says, you need an envy tour.
Speaker 4: Is that like bago or something like you drive around
Speaker 4: the country and Roger that's a way too detailed question.
Speaker 2: Roach knows the white gap between his fingers, and yeah,
Speaker 2: he doesn't know what.
Speaker 4: Where's where's the pit? Here's my guy? I wrestled in
Speaker 4: high school. I know what pins are. My guess is
Speaker 4: the pin is at like one o'clock and so is
Speaker 4: the CG or the mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your path? Oto?
Speaker 4: Yeah good. I haven't had a smear in a long time.
Speaker 4: A lot of time for a smear. Do we have
Speaker 4: an embecile? We've we've reached an hour.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes we do. Thank you for keeping us on track, Johnny.
Speaker 4: Let's get to this. Goddamn.
Speaker 2: It's time for everybody's favorite segment.
Speaker 4: You guys, don't use a sett's ring a call button
Speaker 4: and Tommy will come back there and hit you on
Speaker 4: ahead of the tack hamate, you know, Lloyd, and I
Speaker 4: think you couldn't possibly be any Here's the week. Some
Speaker 4: people are really that's bias. I got that.
Speaker 2: That's bias. All right, Here we go with the imbecile
Speaker 2: of the week. This is from my local Facebook group
Speaker 2: here in Middle Tennessee, which is a gift that keeps
Speaker 2: on giving, just like the Bowler Science form.
Speaker 4: Would it? Many of them find your neck rub or
Speaker 4: no there, dick? All right?
Speaker 2: Here is a post from Ashley Nicole from our Murphy's
Speaker 2: Borough group in Tennessee Papa John's I'm Immortal Boulevard. My
Speaker 2: husband took the pizza back and the guy was speechless.
Speaker 2: We got it replaced, but there was no need in
Speaker 2: This looks very intentional to me.
Speaker 4: It looks like a trouble cleft.
Speaker 5: Is any musicians out there, there's a trouble cleft and
Speaker 5: a bass cleft looks like these.
Speaker 2: It's a bass cleft, I'm telling you, Oh Joe, you're
Speaker 2: a purveyor of of of the Italian foods. Uh, why
Speaker 2: would somebody intentionally wreck a pizza for somebody?
Speaker 5: And no, I don't think they somebody did donuts in
Speaker 5: the car because it literally looks like it was and.
Speaker 2: You can see the grease spot where it was originally
Speaker 2: around it. You can see.
Speaker 5: Maybe somebody had a drill press and like or even
Speaker 5: like you know, what they were trying to do. They're
Speaker 5: probably grouting tile and so they had to get the grouse.
Speaker 5: So they put the big freaking you know, the big
Speaker 5: gimmick in the drill and they spun it and then
Speaker 5: they put it in the pizza. So there's probably grout
Speaker 5: in that in that pizza.
Speaker 2: I mean she's got on the top of the box
Speaker 2: for Fox like this is this is pretty fucked up pizza.
Speaker 4: I thank god they replaced it. I mean, obviously, how
Speaker 4: can they?
Speaker 2: Well, here's that's that's the question, Johnny. Uh oh, hold on,
Speaker 2: that's that's the week before. Uh let's see.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Nick Fotopoulos, I think I got the right Photopolis.
Speaker 2: Uh it's Papa John's. It's still gonna taste like ship
Speaker 2: either way. I just thought that was funny.
Speaker 4: Is not wrong. That's not that's not right. I like
Speaker 4: Papa John's, but he's not wrong. Listen to me. It's
Speaker 4: photo By the way, anybody that likes pizza, can we
Speaker 4: just agree on one thing. There are two types of pizza.
Speaker 4: There's good pizza and there's fabulous pizza. I've had shitty pizza.
Speaker 4: That's bullshit. I'm telling you. Look, I'm telling you. You
Speaker 4: know what. I agree Loopos and Long Branch. There's a
Speaker 4: place like that. I won't eat.
Speaker 5: I would turn I don't turn down pizza, and I
Speaker 5: would turn this place down and go no, I'm good.
Speaker 4: I'll have this sugar packet. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: But I love Papa John's. Remember garlic sauce, the garlic
Speaker 4: sauce eat that one straggling Papa John's when when I
Speaker 4: was at your house. That's right, Pj's is solid. I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna call him an endecol for saying that because
Speaker 4: it's kind of embarrassing. Like that's like me saying I
Speaker 4: love Fetcini Alfredo from Olive Garden and I'm a full
Speaker 4: blooded Italian. But again, I'm not just gonna like go
Speaker 4: like tocharging the whole pizza name too. I get you,
Speaker 4: I get you, I get it, I get it, I
Speaker 4: get it, I get it. I'm not gonna call him
Speaker 4: an missolene.
Speaker 2: Uh, somebody asked you took it back and they made
Speaker 2: it right. Why blast them on Facebook and hurts someone's livelihood?
Speaker 4: Great question, Kogie, Which John's like franchise? I mean, if
Speaker 4: there were a franchise, I love that. I love that comment.
Speaker 2: TOOKI may Leslie said, that's my same take on it.
Speaker 2: It's not even Papa John's fault. It's on the dasher
Speaker 2: so uh, DJ Ricky Smith hit hit the nail on
Speaker 2: the head. That's door Dashers who delivers for Papa John's.
Speaker 2: Now they got rid of their company drivers.
Speaker 4: So how john employees said, fuck this guy, and it
Speaker 4: looks like they went onto a spin Remember to sit
Speaker 4: and spin the pugre machine for come. He was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I gotta go deliver door dash. Let's get on the
Speaker 4: sitting spin, fucking banging around and then we're good.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Smith said, Papa John's technically didn't have to replace
Speaker 2: anything since DoorDash delivered it. But they did, and you're
Speaker 2: still complaining, uh, to which Ashley Porter mass Was also
Speaker 2: responded they should since they contract DoorDash to do their deliveries.
Speaker 4: Which who the hell knows their name? Like that, it's
Speaker 4: all so good points. These are all good points. As
Speaker 4: man imagine having nothing better to do than call out
Speaker 4: a fast food pizza chain and then posted.
Speaker 5: Public's funny is I probably wouldn't take a picture of it,
Speaker 5: eating it and then been done with it, only because
Speaker 5: if I'm ordering Papa John's, I'm probably just jonesing for
Speaker 5: a pizza anyway. I'm not gonna wait another hour and
Speaker 5: a half or so and I'd be like I got
Speaker 5: the cleft Papa John's pizza in history.
Speaker 4: Last night, I enjoyed a piece of New York style
Speaker 4: dominoes with the Schlitz nice Rogers Schlitz like Schlitz beer,
Speaker 4: good for you. I was gonna go with a red
Speaker 4: stripe or possibly fun Ma beer harp was also a
Speaker 4: They had a fun thing with the stout to.
Speaker 2: It also looks like pac Man with his tongue sticking out.
Speaker 4: It really is very pac manish, asymmetrical pac Man. I
