15
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.200
I'm your host, rad Rob Rob
francois joined by the Man, the
16
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:46.000
myth, the legend, the shiny
gold mask man. He's doctor Ocho.
17
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.760
What is so mythical about me?
If I'm literally right here and in the
18
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.079
flesh, A lot of it because
of the peaks, and uh, what
19
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.319
are we Let's let's let's not ad
anymore. Let's don't. Let's get this
20
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.680
going. Also joining us is the
third man of the team. He is
21
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.919
a man with the name of the
Marque. He is number seven in the
22
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.680
program, but number one in your
hearts. It is the sexiest man in
23
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.080
the world, Johnny. Buttragle Junior? What up? JP? What's good?
24
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.800
Boys? I can't help it.
Every time I watch our opening,
25
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.919
you know when you watch something like
something else and you're just like, that's
26
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.840
so ridiculous or so stupid, or
you make fun of it. When I
27
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.039
watch our opening, I every time
I see that one clip of the bowling
28
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.280
shot going down the lane, that's
awful. Like part of my soul wants
29
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.400
to believe it was it was your
youngest daughter, yeah with bumpers or either
30
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.439
of you, like it was their
first strike they ever through. But I'm
31
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.960
like, I can't imagine. We
have to we have to change that out
32
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.199
week. We said that months ago. I'm like, this is history,
33
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.719
or can we at least get rat
Rob throwing a strike shot or something.
34
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.599
We're just speed it up to times
one hundred, that's all. If you
35
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.159
want to strike for me easier,
you're gonna be waiting for a while.
36
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.439
But I he put in there because
it's so bad. It's like the running
37
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.719
joke, like that's the only reason
why, because it pops me. I'd
38
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.960
crack a laugh every time I see. That's perfect. We got lots of
39
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.520
people in the house, everybody,
by the way, not just me,
40
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.479
so I guess we're sharing the wealth
tonight. All right, let's stop screwing
41
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:21.199
around. We have a very special
guest. He is a multi time champion
42
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.800
on the PBA Tour almost Ella's will
for the Hall of Fame at what twenty
43
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.520
eight years old? That's that's incredible
bullshit. Damn it. How did he
44
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.280
do that? Because he's just that
damn good. By the way, your
45
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.159
your name is fitting today, JP, all right, bringing in yes,
46
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.280
thank you. Uh here is the
one and only my favorite left handed bowler,
47
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.800
PBA champion, Jacob Buttro what's up, Jacob? Thanks for joining us?
48
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.000
What's up. I mean one when
we were talking about the ugliest things
49
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.000
ever seen a you guys should see
the way I bowl for the first time.
50
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.199
So there you go. There's your
there's your new opening. I love
51
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.400
it. That's fantastic. We are
still happen to have it here, Jacob.
52
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.560
But I know you're coming off a
tough loss of the players, but
53
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.719
you're still having a tremendous year.
What do you attribute all of your success
54
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:16.240
for this year? Where do I
start? I mean, this was a
55
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.480
season that it was like a roller
coaster. I mean I never knew when
56
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.800
I was going to take a dive
and I knew I never knew when I
57
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.519
was going up. So I think
that the way I can finish it off,
58
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.439
it was it was the best dive
of the season. And regardless of
59
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.879
a loss. I'm thankful for all
the people that have supported me, you
60
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.040
know, JP being in there,
him and I have always been good friends,
61
00:04:36.199 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:40.759
and just all of support from friends
and family. I had a lot
62
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.439
of friends come out for shows towards
the end of season, so that was
63
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.879
just something that I can't ever ever
ever forget. It was super super special
64
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.040
to me. I mean, you
were really really consistent towards the back half
65
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.959
of the year and really just started
going fire. And with all the competition
66
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.199
this year, especially Simo bowling away
he is and and EJ just absolutely just
67
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.360
bowling unconscious. Um, what's it
been like to kind of watch what EJ
68
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.759
has done this year? Well,
I'm coming to a conclusion. EJ doesn't
69
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:23.240
even have a heartbeat. I think
he's he's a five eight five nine robot
70
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.839
that's no more than one hundred and
forty pounds. I was just sent down
71
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.040
from Planet Bowling World who ever knows
where it's from, and they just magically
72
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.959
wanted this kid to appear and go, you know, you know what,
73
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.720
We're gonna just gonna make this kid
one of the best all time ever.
74
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.920
And you know, he's just I'm
pretty sure EJ's just over thirty years old.
75
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.319
So like what I witnessed it first
hand at the World Series, I
76
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:53.399
watched EJ numerous times, but witnessing
it when you see it in person in
77
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.120
front of you, like within like
ten feet of in front of you,
78
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:04.439
it's something different. Yeah, you
know how hard it is. It's it's
79
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.600
just so hard. It's just so
hard out here, and like what they
80
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.639
could do, like not just ejbow
like Simo and Belmo. You know that
81
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.879
people always rip on two hand as
well. They still have to throw the
82
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.240
shots like you watch bowling out here, and regardless of how you throw it,
83
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.319
guess what you have to execute and
if you don't, then you're screwed.
84
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.079
Chnie, what what have you noticed
from from Jacob's run this year?
85
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.759
Well, for me, it's not
just this year. I mean going back
86
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.319
to We've been friends for a little
over a decade now, or at least
87
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.560
since I moved to Vegas and uh
right into him in a couple of local
88
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.360
tournaments out here. But um,
Jacob has always been dominant at every level.
89
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.000
It's nothing new. I mean,
what did you win nine regionals in
90
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.680
one year? I mean, what
the fuck? Nine regionals? Then one
91
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.040
year and I broke another lefties records? So lefties you know how many?
92
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.639
Do you know how many cashes I
have in regionals? Less less than I
93
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.160
have, less senses that he has. Believe that first second, I'll played
94
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.600
that first second. You understand where
I'm going this either way. What I'm
95
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.199
trying to say is I think the
same thing that's happening with EJ and the
96
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.720
same thing that's happening with Simo is
exactly what he's had all along, and
97
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.160
he, meaning Jacob, is Anthony. Well Anthony, I would put EJ
98
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.040
in a little bit different realm than
when I talk about this comparatively speaking as
99
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.319
opposed to to Jacob and Simo.
Jacob and Simo are used to being are
100
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.160
few are used to feeling victory for
pretty much their entire career at every level
101
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.879
they've bowled on. EJ was the
one that was a little bit of a
102
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.000
little suspect on television in the early
going. You'd have some bead breaks on
103
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.959
and off television and you know,
not win as much, nearly as much
104
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.160
as he should have. We used
to compare him to, you know,
105
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.839
the great Marshall Homan winning twenty two
titles but making television almost two hundred times.
106
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:57.560
So for me, watching guys like
Jacob blossom and just contend to know
107
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.439
that they're going to contribute the same
things over the next fifteen twenty thirty years.
108
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.319
So ever many years that they bowl, it's just throwing to watch,
109
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.759
So I can't necessarily I think that
the success is just coming from maturity and
110
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.680
at the time that he's been out
there and actually it's borderline predictable basically,
111
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.959
seeing how he's been such a winner
the whole way that why wouldn't he just
112
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.519
take the next step and be better
than most of the people again at this
113
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.639
level. Yeah, I mean,
like, for instance, there's certain people
114
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.879
that come to the play in baseball, or there's in the bottom of the
115
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.759
ninth, then you expect them to
get a hit to get your team the
116
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.440
lead. There's a guy you expect
to take him down the field ninety seven
117
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.679
yards with two minutes left on the
clock in a football game. And they
118
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.759
always have all these stats on lane
talk and shit like that. I'm
curious
119
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.759
for the one stat that is,
whenever Jacob has a bad block, how
120
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.799
good is his next block? Because
if he ever bowls poorly, his next
121
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.519
block is not only good, it's
astronomically better than everybody else in the field.
122
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.039
And he does it so relaxingly,
and it's it's it's so upsetting to
123
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.399
somebody like me to watch to know
that, like, I'll never be able
124
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.080
to be that good. But in
the same respect that it's awesome to call
125
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.240
him a friend and be able to
watch it live all the time. I
126
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:16.320
think I think one of the comments
they hit me during the World Series was
127
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.720
the second day of the Cheetah Championship, so the first day I didn't bowl
128
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.720
good and the scoring pace was already
through the absolute roof. And in the
129
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.240
next ten games, I just literally
was in what they call on tour,
130
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.759
they call it Jacob mode. They
say, whenever Jacob gets in Jacob mode,
131
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.080
he is probably one of the scariest
people of bowl. And I ended
132
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.879
up just bowling, and I believe
in the ten games, I averaged two
133
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.440
fifty seven and I ended up making
the Cheetah Show because of it, and
134
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.159
simularly made a point to a couple
of people in the stands of saying,
135
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.960
whenever he gets in that mode,
he is the scariest person to be.
136
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.080
He struck more than the average of
the field, and this scoring pacing he
137
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.279
ended up making the show from how
far down he was was probably one of
138
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.320
the best blocks he's ever seen.
And I take moments like anything like that,
139
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.120
and you know, I don't build
an ego off of it. I
140
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.600
cherish it because the fact that,
like Simon Elli, when I first came
141
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.360
out on tour, he was one
of those guys I was watching like I
142
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.519
watched Parker Bone and Jason Cows.
Growing up, those were my idols,
143
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.720
and not saying that taking anything away
from Simonelli. I was watching them when
144
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.919
I first joined tour. So for
me sharing that compliment from someone that I
145
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.200
watched to help study from the game, it's one of those moments that I
146
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.600
absolutely cherish. That's a really really
yeah, that's a really really cool thing.
147
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.679
So the announcers also made mention of
that during the door in the telecast
148
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.919
right now, but I mean it
wasn't they called. They didn't say Jacob
149
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.440
mode. But now we got a
new shirt we gotta print up. So
150
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.080
someone called the art department and we
gotta put the actual gimmick on there.
151
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.080
I just kind of made that up. I mean, it's just one of
152
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.320
those modes. I just made it
up. I mean, like it's it's
153
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.200
just one of those fates. You
you're in the zone, you're locked in,
154
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.320
you're wrinching and repeating, and that's
Jacob mode. I have a question
155
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.919
to follow up with with this,
because you know, for all bowlers,
156
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:28.240
everybody has felt quote unquote that their
own Jacob mode at some point in their
157
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.559
life. Like I've we've all had
blocks where or like consecutive league weeks for
158
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.559
the average house boy to go out
of the man. I've been averaging two
159
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.120
thirty five or two forty for the
last four weeks, this and that,
160
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.240
like, so we all know what
it's like to experience our own version of
161
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.200
Jacob mode. But I guess what
my question for you is, what is
162
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.279
happening? Like, give us the
ins and outs the ship that about you.
163
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.279
Like when I'm in Johnny mode,
I don't even really know what's going
164
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.080
on other than I got a song
playing in my head and I remember maybe
165
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.960
like one thing in my push away, like make sure you're like a push
166
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.840
two inches left the center or right, so like, and that's all I
167
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.360
think about, and everything else is
just completely blank. Like if I don't
168
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.200
strike, I'm confused by you're running
on instinct and not mechanics. Basically,
169
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.080
I want to I want to know
what what the one of the best bowlers
170
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.000
on the planet thinks about, and
what's happening in your brain in moments like
171
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.000
that when you're averaging two sixty and
jumping up seventy five spots in a block.
172
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.120
You know, it's crazy that a
lot of people I bring it up
173
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.080
with is that whenever I just give
them one of those modes. So the
174
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.240
day before I'm like, I don't
care about bowling. I don't give a
175
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.279
shit, like freaking, I'm just
like I'm done, Like I'm already checked
176
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.039
out. But then I have to
regroup the next morning because I'm like,
177
00:12:48.480 -->
00:12:52.200
Jacob, this is day one.
You have to bowl five more days.
178
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.720
Are you really going to check out
that fast? And I'm thinking to myself,
179
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.200
I was like, you know what, dude, You're not just for
180
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.519
this one tournament. You're bowling for
another three tournaments. So I woke up
181
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.480
that morning, but at the same
time, I just want to have I
182
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.639
wanted to put yesterday side, and
I just wanted to go and bowl just
183
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.919
be who I am. Like obviously
people are known for me striking. The
184
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.200
thing is is that when I don't
think about bowling and I just go up
185
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.440
in bowl, that's when I'm bowl
the best. Like I don't think about
186
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.519
like I think about if I see
my bowl flat stem or whatever, do
187
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.519
this, and that I just immediately
make the move. I didn't even question
188
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.440
it. I just immediately make my
move and I just go through it.
189
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.039
And I just just go up there
and make the best shot I can.
190
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.799
And when I start doing that,
that's when people are like, Okay,
191
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.840
Jacob is bowling and he gets in
those modes like you just can't beat him
192
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.720
because now he's not thinking about anything. He's just going up in bowling.
193
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.759
When he knows his ball of striking, he doesn't think and he just knows
194
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.240
he's gonna strike. That's called having
a quiet brain, is what it is.
195
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.879
And that's because when you when you
have a quiet brain, your body
196
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.759
relaxed a little bit too, so
your nerves ain't flying, you're not overthrowing,
197
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.279
and again you're getting back to rinsing
and repeating. You're able to repeat
198
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.960
better because you're not walking with a
stick up your rump, you know,
199
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.159
because you're all tense. And it's
the same thing on the putting green when
200
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.559
you're putting for the Master's championship.
You know what I mean, Like they
201
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.480
got nerves of steel. You guys
have nerves of steel. It's freaking amazing
202
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.559
to watch. Well, Jacob is
so chill compared to everybody else, Like
203
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.960
he doesn't show too Like you won't
kind of blank out there. You won't
204
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.519
see an outburst, which is cool. I mean, you're able to stay,
205
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.519
you know, you're able to stay
out of your own head and just
206
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.080
focus on what you have
to do. Like where did you get that from?
207
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.960
It's just something inherent in you.
I think it's because I realized how
208
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.200
much of a little bit of a
ship I was when I was a youth
209
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.120
powler. And I think that I
it's not that I was a bad kid,
210
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.519
but at the same time, it's
like, you know, there's a
211
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.080
lot of people that grew up with
him, juniors that I'm good friends with
212
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.080
this day, that I wasn't the
most like kid when I was bowling youth
213
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.759
youth stuff. And I think it's
because I got too much of an ego.
214
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.000
I realized that, you know,
what, is this really how you
215
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.480
want people see you in the long
run. Like I think for me now
216
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.720
is that I'm so appreciative with where
I'm at with my bowling career, especially
217
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:22.360
because I'm very fortunate to call myself
a bowler, even I'm to this stage
218
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.440
just even be bole in the national
tour, and like with moments like that,
219
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.039
all these people that just come up
and just want to take pictures,
220
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.519
sign autographs, like people that like
look up to me this and that,
221
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.519
Like I always want to give him
grief and be like, hey, you
222
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.480
don't want your kids throwing it like
me, I just unfortunately the way I
223
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.039
could throw it. But at the
same time, it's like all these parents
224
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.759
just back me up and be like, you know what, my son doesn't
225
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.399
want to throw like he just loves
the way you Bowl, loves how talented
226
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.720
and how passionate and how humbly you
are. And I think when I hear
227
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.240
that multiple times in a row,
I'm like, you know, it's just
228
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:06.399
who I am. Naturally. I
think that I learned so much and I
229
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.600
just like JP said earlier, it's
just that the maturity level I think for
230
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.399
me, I'll even say, has
developed so much better just by with what's
231
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.039
happened in my life. So now
just being out there and just the animals
232
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.919
stay mature and not get overly scattered
brain and dramatic, I think is one
233
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.480
thing that benefits me, my bowl, and that's why I love most about
234
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.919
you. And you know, to
be that mature at your age, I
235
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.200
mean you're still relatively young. You're
about twenty eight. I just turned twenty
236
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.320
nine and vehicles, so I'm in
my last year in my twenties. Happy
237
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.159
people a birthday, but still enjoy
it bro the next the next time,
238
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.480
yes, uh yeah, and explaining
this thing on your head real quick to
239
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.679
the fans, by the way,
So let's let everybody know what what what
240
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.200
why this is so special tonight on
straight up five h. I mean,
241
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.039
I don't want to give him too
much of a heavy head um and he's
242
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.480
not paying me. I promise you
should that he will be. It's just
243
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.200
no, it's just my buddy.
Uh he can't everybody that basically knows Dougie
244
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.720
vision now, um, I think
it's uh, he just I just decided
245
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.759
to wear the hat for tonight.
And I know my buddy Greg Thompson just
246
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.880
chimed in and Doug ye a bowling
Greg in the Blearro series event. And
247
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.920
Greg is one of my best friends
from Arizona. So I'm pretty sure I'm
248
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:36.440
many a text message later at some
point saying that you betrayed me. But
249
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.319
Douggy, I just wanted to put
on the hat. And you know Dougy,
250
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.559
like I know GT or well Greg
GT we call him, he would
251
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.079
want to be out here for the
shows. In a heartbeat, Douggy came
252
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.440
out for those shows. Uh.
These last couple of weeks and I'm bowl
253
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.519
a handful of his tournaments. So
he's a good dude. He runs a
254
00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.960
bunch of good tournaments on the East
Coast. I'm not trying to brag about
255
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.920
it, but you know, all
you want the man, we love Dougie
256
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.680
here. That's way better than a
roto grip thing on the chest. I
257
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:12.079
think that's all this. There we
go. I can't there we go?
258
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:17.759
Nice plug away, man, this
is your show tonight. I man,
259
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.119
you and you and Dina. I
love you guys to death, but them
260
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.079
Jersey's got to go. I think
the reason why I'm I got the camera
261
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.599
ang will sit the way it is
is because I'm already know I'm gonna get
262
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.720
grief because of because you want people
to stay and watch, not leave.
263
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.799
Yeah, that's what's gonna happen next. We lose viewers in the next slight
264
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.440
tim seconds. I'm sorry, that's
all good. Meanwhile, I'm a met
265
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.880
fan and we have the easiest schedule, strength of schedule for the season,
266
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.160
and we still stink. So I
can't. I can't say
anything. Let
267
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.200
me let me ask you another bowling
question, because you know, we talk
268
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.400
about a lot of not not crazy
personal shit on here, but we get
269
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.920
a little bit more personal and we
want to do a little bit deeper than
270
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.799
the ship that you know, you
talk about it and interviews when you're on
271
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.799
television. You had to know at
some point in your bowling career that your
272
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:12.640
game is unorthodox. But there's a
lot of people with unorthodox games that work
273
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.720
and have worked throughout the entire course
of bowling history. I mean, one
274
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.599
of the greatest bowlers ever, Walter
Ray Williams Jr. I would never try
275
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.079
and teach anybody to bowl like Walter
Ray. But my question to you is
276
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.759
is when did you know, Okay, I've got something that nobody else can
277
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:36.319
see yet or they want to chirp
about. But I can do something with
278
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.480
my wrist at the bottom and I
can get my ball to rotate differently than
279
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:45.880
everybody else. Like how old were
you when you knew you had something special
280
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.039
with that risk position at the bottom. Because Ocho and I talked about you
281
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.720
a lot, because Ocho is an
actual doctor, and we do talk about
282
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.920
mechanics a lot. Mechanics a lot, so I'm very curious when you knew,
283
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.160
like, wow, I really that
much more on the inside of it
284
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.599
than everybody else, and like,
just just tell me about it and where
285
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.039
you coached on it or did you
come up with yourself. I just had
286
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.079
to work people try and take it
and say stopped doing that, and like
287
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.880
all that other garbage and shit like
that. I mean, you know it's
288
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.559
crazy, is that. Like I
just started bowling like that one day.
289
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:22.039
I didn't feel any pain in my
wrists or my thumb. I honestly didn't
290
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.079
even know the way. I like
I realized how far underneath the wrist I
291
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.640
was until I was like seventeen,
sixteen seventeen. But you knew you could
292
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.640
rev it by putting it there,
right, Like it wasn't like you just
293
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.359
arbitrarily put your wrist in that position. You knew by being on the inside
294
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.880
is how you get more on it. I'm assuming yeah, for the most
295
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.279
part. I mean, like I
really didn't even so I didn't even really
296
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.440
know how I was really throwing it
until I got to the age where I
297
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:55.920
started studying more about bowling, Like
right around sixteen seventeen is where I started
298
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.480
learning about more more about bowling.
And I didn't know all these patterns and
299
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.160
ship until I was about sixteen seventeen
years old, and when I started figuring
300
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:07.920
out, like how am I gonna
play these How am I just gonna bowl
301
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.880
like this? How am I just
gonna enjoy the moment and just bowl.
302
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.480
I didn't really know all that until
I got older. Until I was like
303
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.640
seventeen eighteen, Like when I was
in my junior senior year of high school,
304
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:25.640
you know, I started wanting to
get into bowling more. And I,
305
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:27.359
like I said, when I started
getting more competiti was when I was
306
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.720
in high school. And then when
seventeen and eighteen hit, that's when I
307
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:37.119
started bowling on patterns. I started
bowling Jamiet's on the West Coast. JP
308
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.720
knows who my coaches at Arizona or
went went to Arizona State. I still
309
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.559
talk to him every now and then. His name is Jordan Nasberg. He
310
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.920
um. He like he was just
saying, like, like, you could
311
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.160
do so much money you can think
of I'm like, okay, and I'm
312
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.440
just bowling, and I'm just I'm
bowling all these tournaments and if I bowled
313
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.759
at it both like I think this
is where the maturity level started to hit
314
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.960
in a little bit. It's like
when I really realized how temple I was
315
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.480
with how I could throw it,
and learning so much more and learning all
316
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:18.960
the logistics of bowling. Basically,
do you remember like when you first tried,
317
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.440
Like what was in your head when
you first said, I'm just gonna
318
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.519
try to shut out. I hope
that's why. Is that I threw like
319
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:33.279
that one morning and I'm like,
wow, that struck and it like got
320
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.799
to the gut or and it came
back and struck. And I was like
321
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.799
fourteen when I tried. I was
thirteen when I tried it. Okay,
322
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:45.039
I'm like, I can struck,
and and you know the good ball rotation
323
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.559
obviously, so you said, Okay, it wasn't like I just hit the
324
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.799
you saw it. It rotated,
it drove, it was a it was
325
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:55.119
a heavy ball basically. Yeah.
And
then I did it again. I
326
00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:00.359
was like, wow, it's struck
again. So got into something us a
327
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.559
lot. Yeah, So I did. So I ended up bowling a summer
328
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.599
league, and the first week of
the summer league, my goal was to
329
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:14.480
shoot three hundred before I even at
this point, before I even graduated high
330
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.440
school. I ended up bowling three
hundred before I even started high school.
331
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.160
Wow. So that was the crazy, the crazy set of the day.
332
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.720
I was still trying for me too. I'm not in high school yet either.
333
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.480
Forty years later, I'm still truck
Literally forty years later, I'm trying.
334
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.240
What age were you when you first
got into bowling? And like,
335
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.240
how did you get started? Did
you have anybody else in your failing in
336
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.599
that bowl was just something your parents
put you in, because that's what my
337
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.359
parents did with me. So I
just so I started bowling when I was
338
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.559
five years old. I grew up
in Las Vegas, so we had a
339
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.680
lot of centers in Vegas that were
connected to the casinos. So just any
340
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.160
days, Um, if I just
asked my mom if I wanted to go
341
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.319
bowling, day, take me i
was I would say that I started.
342
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.839
I started at Gold Coast and Texas
Station at Sun Coast growing up, so
343
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.119
I was basically like on the north
side of Vegas and just started going there
344
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.799
all the time. Every now and
then if I asked my dad if we
345
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.880
could go bowling. When I was
with my Grandma and Henderson would go a
346
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.240
sense at Station South Point all that. So basically I was around the whole
347
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:25.200
perimeter of Las Vegas and bowling centers. I'm pretty much bowling every Center in
348
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.400
Vegas at least once, and I
just enjoyed it. Every time I was
349
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.160
on a bowling signer. I never
threw a pissie fit, Like my mom
350
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.200
always said that. I was smiling, like, no matter how shitty I
351
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.640
bowled. So I don't think I've
ever seen you through well, no,
352
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:47.200
it's funny. It was like it
was originally your hobby and then here you
353
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:51.279
are the professional, at the top
of your game, at the top of
354
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:56.640
the entire profession. Yeah, that
was, like I said. I was
355
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.599
like I got in high school.
I was like, I enjoyed this a
356
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.440
lot more. Are like I enjoy
it. I don't expect myself to get
357
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.960
like really really good. And I
saw myself bowling in high school. A
358
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.559
little bit later, I'm like,
I age a little bit more and I
359
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.640
feel confident of it, like let's
just give it a go and see how
360
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.559
it goes. And it was big
in my high school because you lettered in
361
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.079
sports, so it was big if
you letter in sports. So if I
362
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.720
can manage a letter I'm like,
hey, all right, cool, I
363
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.359
get a letterman jacket. You had
to have to, I'm sorry, Johnny,
364
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.400
you had to get a lot of
shit from that release, right.
365
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.000
I'm sure people ribbed you all the
time about what the hell are you doing?
366
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.839
Like, what what the hell is
your hand doing? The non bowlers
367
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.440
dead, no clue what was going
on, and then the bowlers were like,
368
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:44.240
what in the world is this?
They see the results too, It's
369
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.720
not like they say, you know, all right, the guy's averaging two
370
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:49.799
thirty five in high school, but
boy, what a dumb release. I
371
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:56.720
think they're gonna go he's on something
there. Give me Mike Newman's backswing or
372
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.079
Mike Lickstein's approach any day of the
week, as long as I can have
373
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.920
the release with it. Yeah.
Absolutely, what the ball does is what
374
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:08.200
what matters exactly. Congratulations Kegan,
Thank you, Kegan, good job real
375
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.680
quick. Sorry, Jacob, We're
gonna get the questions for Jacob at the
376
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:14.640
end of the show. So don't
think I'm ignoring you guys. We're just
377
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.359
gonna I'm ignoring you guys. I
mean that that happens anyway. Sorry,
378
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.599
Jacob, you were gonna say something. Oh no, it's funny that JP
379
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.119
brought up Mike Litching because it's like
that's one of the guys that bowl Nationals
380
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.240
with and nice, you know,
everybody's watching steps Up Palm Horse, and
381
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:33.599
then you're watching Walla crank smash throw
the shot. Then that's a Shirt's got
382
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.359
to be a really shirting awesome show. When you guys are bowling together,
383
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.920
we have to put that on a
shirt. Are you kidding me? What
384
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:47.480
is it? Crank smash that was
invented by That was invented by Jared Raymond.
385
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.279
He was the one that said crank
smash. Oh my god, dude,
386
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:52.880
that is so cool. I grew
up with Mike got a Bradley ball
387
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.240
and wins locks. So I mean, I've known him pretty much all my
388
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.319
life. So that's a perfect description
of his And he didn't start out that
389
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.839
way, like he changed for whatever
reason, just like you did and had
390
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.640
more success. But that's that's hilarious. Well that's the reason, Rob,
391
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:15.079
not for whatever reason. My favorite
thing about Legie is that he has to
392
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.079
make sure there's a Starbucks within you
know, walking distance of anywhere that we
393
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.759
are at, sending that way he
can get his free Wi Fi. Let's
394
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:29.000
go U happy belated one day birthday
to Larry List. Yes we was happy,
395
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.039
belated, Yes absolutely. Hilariya is
another father and son duo in the
396
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.440
PBA tour. Ye Larry frequently tunes
in. I'm not sure if he's here
397
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.799
tonight, but I want to make
sure we did that. Roger says,
398
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.799
watch watching a man don't want barefoot
through broken glass. That's awesome, that's
399
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.559
about that's about right, and his
release is just poetry in motion. It
400
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.640
is. So let me ask at
his knee ahead, run into the line
401
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.319
that I'm trying to run away from
the broken You got a flamethrower under your
402
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.799
foot. Yeah. So this is
kind of a I don't want to say,
403
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.559
like a rhetorical question, but I
mean it's it's something that we can
404
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.519
we can all speculate about. So
if Belmo kind of revolutionary, it is
405
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:12.079
the game with his success and with
two hands and getting a lot of kids
406
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.200
into the sport using that. Do
you think, what it's all said and
407
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:19.240
done, we're gonna have kids try
to emulate your style or do you think
408
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.880
it's impossible for them to figure out
because I'm sure you're not gonna give it
409
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.400
away. Well, I've already had
one, uh one request in the past
410
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.920
that I actually had a kid trying
to emulate the way I throw it,
411
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.640
and the mom messaged me afterwards,
saying that her son's wrist was broken.
412
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.640
I think, uh so I go
ahead, go ahead, go ahead,
413
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.200
go ahead, Jacob exactly. You
want to know that's the imbecile of the
414
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:51.119
week, that kid's mother. Yeah, Jacob, because what they don't understand.
415
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.079
Yeah, it's it's not a matter
of it's it's a matter of hypermobility
416
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.559
and not everybody two hands. We
know you're nice. We don't have to
417
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.000
be you. No, No,
that's our job. You you just you
418
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:04.839
give us the you throw us the
softball, we're gonna hit him out.
419
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:11.279
Yeah, she's the issue when when
people all have two hands, so everybody
420
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.680
can throw the ball too handed,
if like not everybody has a hypermobile risk
421
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.559
with ligaments that stretch like stretched armstrong. Yeah, anybody who says double jointed,
422
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.079
there are no freaking double joints in
the human frame since the billions of
423
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.279
years of humans existence. Standing up, they're not double There's no such thing.
424
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:36.160
People, it's freaking hypermobility, maybe
ligament laxity or stretching the same terms
425
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.720
double joint. It is. Well, yeah, I don't know whoever it
426
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.640
came up, and it should should
be set out to a work camp for
427
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:47.480
with with sticky recycling bottles. I
think I'm just happy that she didn't send
428
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:49.079
me in a medical bill. That's
that's all that was like, that's all
429
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:52.880
was happy about. She probably don't
have insurance either, the rotten mom.
430
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.839
I've got it. I've got a
question for you, because I mean,
431
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:02.599
I hate to say it, but
obviously not just your favorite ball most likely,
432
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:07.240
but a lot of people love the
purple hammer. Obviously, yes,
433
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.559
it's a miracle ball, especially with
what you guys are bowling on out there
434
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:15.880
and what you do to a ball. Do you have a favorite bowling ball
435
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:21.880
like before the Purple Hammer was even
invented, like the New Age one.
436
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.519
I don't even remember what company you
were with at that time. Um,
437
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.599
but anyway, well, I guess
my question is just before the invention of
438
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.720
the New Age Purple Hammer from either
Ebanite's Plant or the brands runs a plant,
439
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.480
do you have did you have another
like go to baby that you kind
440
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:45.640
of brought everywhere with you And then
we're not thinking there's there is a mixture
441
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.440
of a lot of things. Obviously, Like every tournament that I go to,
442
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.759
everybody thinks I have twenty seven purple
hammers. With me, but I
443
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.920
think BACKY does obviously, I just
have like it's one of bull balls.
444
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.000
And then I mean JP's watching me
enough to where it's like all the high
445
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.519
ends, all the high ends,
like big solid, blowing balls. Over
446
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.039
the course I've thrown over my career
have been the second go to, and
447
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.960
I mean it's been to make sure
of a lot of things I was with.
448
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.640
I was with nine or a goal
before I ended up going to and
449
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.200
I International at the time, and
now they merge through the merge to the
450
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:29.400
factory with Brunswick, and now it's
all Brunswick. But honestly, it's like
451
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.279
I always tell people, obviously,
I'm gonna throw the purple hammer as long
452
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.000
as I need to if I'm striking, because our job out here is to
453
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.680
strike. It's not just sit there
and split every single shot. Your goal
454
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.440
is to make a paycheck. Right, even if you get paid by your
455
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.640
company, you're still out there to
strike with like whatever Quimi needs throw.
456
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.559
So if I need to throw a
purple hammer, and if I know it's
457
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.599
going to give me that two forty
two fifty for the win, I'm gonna
458
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:04.720
throw it. Damn Right. I
was curious switch, right, yeah,
459
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.359
so, hey, you're throwing a
mindset on the left lane first. I
460
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.200
love then the mindsets. This is
a shout out from my dino. I'm
461
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.640
gonna throwing the mindset on the on
the longer pattern. So he um.
462
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.720
He suggested it when we were bowling, and I was like, you know
463
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.039
what, I'm just gonna give him
my risk and I did it. Unfortunately
464
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.319
didn't look good when I pulled Kevin
McKinnon the title match on the Players,
465
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.319
But you know it was a it
was a ball that helped me a lot
466
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.119
this week or well this past week
at the Player's Championship. Okay, you
467
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.759
got out of it early against O'Neil, right like you and you went right
468
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.799
to the mindset, like right away. How come you didn't do that,
469
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.759
uh in the finals? Just just
curious. So I actually tried to do
470
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.559
and make sure a lot of things. I think that. So when I
471
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.160
pulled Kevin Williams in the first match, he was throwing yourthane on the left
472
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.119
lane and it allowed me to throw
reactive kind of where I was at for
473
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.359
the most part when I bowl bill, I feel like I had to create
474
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:06.559
a little bit more carry down just
to kind of give me an idea and
475
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:09.799
try to go from there. But
I feel like Sunday they were definitely even
476
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:14.039
on the right lane. They just
felt like they were hooking a lot sooner
477
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.519
than they were the day before.
And I ended up having to go to
478
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:22.279
a troublemaker the last game on the
right lane that I bowled, and it
479
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.680
was a ball I didn't throw all
week on the left lane. Yeah,
480
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.880
I watched all throughout the entire tournament
alter qualifying. I never saw that ball
481
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:32.559
go down the line. Yeah,
I was this week. I was chatting
482
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.200
with you know, ball Rep Dino
Casillo, and I was throwing balls that
483
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.640
I didn't expect to throw in the
title match or at any point. And
484
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:45.440
they will still finished high though,
didn't they. I think they were just
485
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.559
they would. They looked like they
were starting the second they hit the lane
486
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.920
and they were already in their hook
phase almost or something just a matter of
487
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.720
like how the lanes get well.
It could be the weather outside the TV
488
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.880
lights. They placed so many different
factors and to how the lanes are gonna
489
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.200
play. I was wondering, like
how was it like the difference was so
490
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.680
significant between the past for islands,
Like I don't I don't know how it
491
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:09.519
got so far out of whack for
you because you were you were pretty lined
492
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:15.360
up. Yeah, It's like a
lot of different factors go into it.
493
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.639
Um, I think I didn't do
anything crazy with services. Maybe that like
494
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.599
I was throwing a couple of shots
a little bit way too much for the
495
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.199
left to start, and then by
the time they got to that point,
496
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.760
it was just hooking so much more. But the lanes just kind of were
497
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.960
a little bit funky. Even Kevin
McKinnon I was talking to him the title
498
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.639
match. He even said that the
lanes were definitely hooking a lot sooner,
499
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:43.039
even on his side of the lane
too. But Kevin can overpower his look
500
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:47.599
with ball speed just like just like
his dad. Yep. Right to me
501
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:52.760
honestly, like he had the perfect
condition for that time, in the perfect
502
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.599
style. Like if he didn't throw
it as hard as he did, I
503
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.840
really don't think he'd had the same
success. That's just what I noticed from
504
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.440
from watching him. I mean,
it's amazing what he did. I'm not
505
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:05.960
taking anything away from at all,
But uh, he needed he needed that
506
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.599
power to get down the lane that
fast. Especially he even he dove high.
507
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:10.519
If you're a handful of times too. I don't know, there wasn't
508
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:15.159
anybody didn't like that's for sure.
He was throwing different speeds on each lane
509
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.280
too. Yep, ye hyping it
straight up five I think on the old
510
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:24.599
smaller pattern there with the hammer.
Yeah, he isn't though, so you
511
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.599
know we haven't. We were officially
having a new nickname for him on tour.
512
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:31.400
So where his dad was the Rocket, I think we're going called Kevin
513
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:36.519
the Nuke, So I love it. Yeah, maybe that they called him
514
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:43.360
on the on the telecast that's supposed
to be from Bull Durham idea. Probably
515
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.000
even if it was, do you
think he would know? You know,
516
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.800
and you're Jacob, Yeah, I
don't think he was born. I'm not
517
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.719
thirty. He's dad my last year
in my twenty. It's bad parenting if
518
00:35:53.760 --> 00:36:01.239
his dad didn't shortly doc Jacob his
dad time everything. So, Jacob,
519
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.519
I have a random question for myself. Did you ever try a fingertip grip?
520
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:08.800
Wait? Wait, wait, wait
he doesn't have a fingertip grip?
521
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:17.000
Oh you know, well well no, wait, full I go conventional.
522
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.480
I've never seen your wrist actually,
because it's underneath the ball. So far
523
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.599
to freaking you know, I don't
even wait. I've never looked at your
524
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:34.920
fingers. That's why did your risk
turn complexit. I want to see you
525
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.840
spin it all the way around like
a muppet, because there's no way that
526
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:39.880
can be in the Oh my god, I didn't notice that. Wow,
527
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.440
you do all that without your fingertips? That should be We gotta have his
528
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.559
wrist like like some remember like uh, the MythBusters or something. We gotta
529
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.760
have like one of these slow roll
motion things and watch how under a video
530
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.719
fluoroscopy to see the X ray and
the bones maneuvering. Oh my god,
531
00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:00.199
we're gonna dose science experiments on your
risk. Mean, that's all? Yeah,
532
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.840
So what was your answer? Yeah, that's
right, fingertip. Sorry,
533
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.679
Kenny, all right, whatever you
name, keep going. But I'm
534
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:12.920
curious, though, I want to
make sure we don't lose it. I
535
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:16.880
forgot. I forgot. What did
you want to try? You always conventional?
536
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:22.039
I did once when I was like
fourteen, But my knuckle, my
537
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.920
my chalis has got so fat that
I just couldn't even put my fingers in
538
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:30.239
the blowing ball. There you go. That's fantastic, So I mean that
539
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.440
blows me away. Conventional but I'm
thumb out. I mean, when when
540
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.360
my thumb was in the ball,
I would like to dig, probably like
541
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.679
as low as Sean Rash used to
dig, like between the two cuts to
542
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:44.519
the knuckles and um. But I'm
virtually conventional when I have my thumb out
543
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:49.519
of the ball. But I can't
imagine. God, it's I give you.
544
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:52.119
I mean, I guess it's fit. Every human dynamic is different and
545
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:57.280
every single person, right, I
mean, I just I could never People
546
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.440
always say you gotta have a full
fingertip grip for maximum leverage and power and
547
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:01.639
YadA, YadA, YadA. Meanwhile, I was always the other way.
548
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.679
I always wanted more fingers in the
ball because I felt like I could uncoil
549
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.199
more true when I had more fingers
in the ball. But you know it's
550
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:13.199
funny, is that? Like,
uh so you guys know Chris Warren,
551
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.000
right, Chris Warren that bowl on
the PA Tour, Squeak Keith conventional group
552
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:21.480
two yeah a lot now a long
time. Yeah, And you see the
553
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.159
way he bowls, and it's like, you know the guy that's like five
554
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:29.280
to five and he's one hundred and
twenty pounds and he could still generate as
555
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.719
much power as he can with everything
that he does. That's that's something impression.
556
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:36.679
How do you clear your fingers is
what I'm wondering though, Like that's
557
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.000
just the part that kind of is
bugging me because like I really have to,
558
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:44.599
you really have to, like uncoiled, you'd have to. Oh that's
559
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:46.559
do you have to yo yo in
almost? Like yeah, if you don't,
560
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:51.480
you're it's you're more likely to flip
your hand over the top of these
561
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.880
we're flying saucer it or something to
matter how consistent you could come out of
562
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:58.360
a blow and ball. I think
it's just I started bowling like that one
563
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.199
When I started bowling like that one
day, I think that I learned it
564
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:04.840
at such a young age. I
would just learned to be able to repeat
565
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:10.800
it consistently. Yeah, That's what's
remarkable to me is like this doesn't happen
566
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:15.559
very often with my no thumb delivery, but when it does, it's very
567
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:19.800
obvious. Like there's sometimes that my
hand will open too much in the backswing
568
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.280
and I will completely miss it at
the bottom. Like you know, when
569
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.519
you rotate a boat, you lose
a ball and you're like automatically off your
570
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:28.079
hand, you know, it's a
wash out, or you're praying to God
571
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.400
that it even stays on the lane
because you missed it that bed. That
572
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:37.920
happens to me sometimes, and I'm
like shocked and amazed at how you can
573
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:43.760
get your hand into an even deeper
position with a conventional grip and you seemingly
574
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:45.960
never ever ever miss it at the
bottom, and if you do, it's
575
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.840
like one out of a two hundred
shots. That's what I think is so
576
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.800
exceptional and special about your game.
I think it's crazy because there's only been
577
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.880
I don't know if it's just because
of a turrible or standpoint too, but
578
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:08.519
there's a lot I'm current probably been
maybe maybe twenty shots, maybe twenty shots
579
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:14.199
in my career where I'm like,
high that ball not hook? Wow?
580
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:17.679
Like yeah, like legitimately, because
it's just like I'm hinting as hard as
581
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:21.800
I can. Even if it's like
a flat seven, I know it hooked.
582
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:23.239
But if it like if I like
three seven nine, or if I
583
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:27.360
wash out, I'm like, how
on earth to that not hook? Right?
584
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.239
Well, what's what's your to bounce
off it out? Obviously you're you're
585
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:35.000
able to repeat. Well, what's
your practice schedule? Like I mean,
586
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.199
do you throw the ball one hundred
times? The bowld ten games, the
587
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.960
bowl twenty games? I mean,
I know practicing, I don't think it's
588
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:45.599
for score. Really, it's for
mechanics and repeating and if you throw how
589
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.039
many? So what's your what's your
routine? Like I don't want to say
590
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.199
all season because I know you guys
bowl, you're around, So I think
591
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.400
it's a mixture of a lot of
things. So when
we go so when
592
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.679
we ball on tour, we go
center weekend a week out to a different
593
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.880
center. I think forty games a
week too. So I think my first
594
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:07.760
thing that I try to focus on
when I get there, because you guys
595
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.239
see how much I slide, Like
I slide before I even release the blowing
596
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:15.000
ball. So I think my biggest
thing is that I try to practice to
597
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.960
get a feel fill the lads.
That is the first thing that when I
598
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.280
get to a new center, to
try to get a feel with how the
599
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:25.719
week's gonna be. Like I practice
the electra at caire Leer this past week,
600
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:31.480
well Laro, North Brunswick, but
we still call it care Leers always.
601
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:37.400
It should be I practice there for
a handful of like for a good
602
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.960
Vitoria times. I know that the
approaches were known for being sticky. For
603
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.760
me, I'd rather slide than stick
any day, on any day of the
604
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:51.880
week. So I was practicing exceptionally, trying to make sure that I'm not
605
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.639
overdoing it as well. Um,
that's the one thing that I try to
606
00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:01.199
focus on. And then obviously like
for me, obviously obviously shooting spars is
607
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:07.880
one of the biggest things as well. Make sure I can make make sure
608
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:09.920
I can make my spars man,
because those seven pins can be tricky,
609
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.719
those nine splits can be tricky.
I noticed this long before they mentioned it
610
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:19.000
on the recent show, and I'm
sure a bunch of our spectators did too.
611
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.840
You stop throwing it straight at sevenpins, switch to a spy, throwing
612
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.039
it like a strike ball. Now, okay, So I got a task
613
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:30.599
for all three of you, so
my show before I bolt, Kevin Williams,
614
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:34.639
go back and look at how many
I'll even bring it up right now,
615
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.920
go back and look at how many
single pins I missed this week?
616
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:43.239
I missed so I was fifty five
sixty when I believe it is those six
617
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:46.760
single pins. I missed him one
block? Oh wow, Yeah, I
618
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.079
missed him all shooting straight. So
the next block I literally went in and
619
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:57.000
said, I'm just gonna hook him
my sevenpins again because I'm never missing six
620
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.880
sevenpins in one block ever. Again. That move right there is as gutsy
621
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:05.719
as any other move I thought you
could possibly
think of. Oh hell yeah,
622
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:07.639
to have that in your brain,
to go out there and say,
623
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.639
I've shot sevenpins like this for last
I don't know, twenty fucking years runner.
624
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.199
Yeah, while I'm averaging two sixty, I want to make sure I
625
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.800
don't miss six. So I'm just
gonna start looking it into my seven bins.
626
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:23.960
Because they had mentioned they had mentioned
how Norm Duke would switch balls,
627
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:29.840
but he was you know, completely
open risk code collapse and you know,
628
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:36.800
thumb out at the pactable at the
pin and it had this thumb whole rotation
629
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.679
whereas you're you're popping it. Yeah, that was that was cool for me
630
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:45.760
to to to watch to see.
I thought that was really really ballsy move.
631
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.599
Jacob, Like, seriously, you
guys are more confidence than I did.
632
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:54.079
Well, Mortage, you made it, you made them do. But
633
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:58.320
I mean the best in the world
are able to adapt and do whatever it
634
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.679
takes to to get it done.
I mean, that's why you're on the
635
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.760
level that you're on, Like you
have something different than you know, a
636
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.159
hundred other bowlers that are they're on
the tour, Like it's just that's what
637
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.519
makes you so good and you're you're
able to figure it out. You know,
638
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:14.480
are other bowlers plus thousands of regional
guys that right, it's just a
639
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:17.400
tier under that that are still that. I mean, that's if the separation
640
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.320
is so wild to me, how
the cream just always rises to the top.
641
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.320
The average people think there's ten bowlers
on tour. I bet, well
642
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:29.239
that's all you usually see on TV. And that's how good they talked.
643
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.920
We talked about that on a show
and we talked about the difference between the
644
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:36.000
good players and the great players,
and the great players to the elite players.
645
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.320
And Jacob is in the group with
the elite players, and it's it's
646
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:43.840
so dead. That's why we have
to ask them all they sorry, I'm
647
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:46.000
talking like like you're not sitting right
here, But we have to ask all
648
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:50.719
these questions because we have to get
the mentality of what the top one percent
649
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.719
of the sport is thinking and and
going through mentally and physically everything. And
650
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:58.800
he's gushing over EJ when this guy
is at
the same level and we're all
651
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.760
fangirls for you anyway, you know, we're totally were this a story that
652
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:06.000
me and JP are going to enjoy
a drink over and when I go back
653
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:09.639
to Vegas for a little bit.
So perfect. Let's get to some of
654
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.199
our viewer questions because they've been waiting
so patiently all the way from Australia.
655
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:21.000
Um keeking tasker wants to know,
uh where to go? Everybody stopped talking?
656
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:24.119
Stop talking? What's your experience like
on timber lanes. I'm assuming that's
657
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:32.519
wood lanes. The boots you gotta
whack wood lanes, you gotta both fantastic
658
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.119
on wood. I love wood lanes
because I could throw a plastic up the
659
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.159
utter exactly. That was exactly what
I was just gonna say. What is
660
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:43.960
why? Why? What? What
is? It means? The shot a
661
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:49.239
whole better summer, Like, you
don't have to play a trap. Wood
662
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.679
lanes are just old their beat up, I mean not in a good way,
663
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.280
beat up, Like I mean there
is hook in general a lot more
664
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:58.199
the hook a lot sooner. So
the best way to kind of get any
665
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:02.159
look just throw a weaker equipment that
isn't gonna overhook right. It was plastic
666
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:07.159
at the pocket, but I'll strike
ball in a seven. That's something you
667
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:09.159
can do it all. Uh.
Roger Man, he wants to know what
668
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:13.639
was up with the multiple fouls on
the Cheetah Show. Bad approach or bad
669
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:17.960
footwork, and he just talked about. Sure, I wore new shoes on
670
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:23.280
that show in case everybody's curious about. And they were a half size bigger.
671
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:27.960
I know that's no excuse, but
they were a half size bigger.
672
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:32.360
And yeah, like one my rookie
mistake. I pulled my best block ever
673
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:36.280
to get into that show, and
I made a rookie mistake wearing new shoes.
674
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:39.920
It was. It was confusing.
I'm not gonna lie confuse the fuck
675
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:45.440
out of me, but the timing
of it was. But here is I'm
676
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.079
gonna ask you this the right way
I just got. I went to Reno
677
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:51.679
with my team like I do every
year, and I've been wearing one black
678
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.000
shoe and one white shoe for about
the last eight years. I refuse to
679
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.760
take my white Brunswick Tpux off of
my off of my slide foot in Reno.
680
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.239
There's they started to get holes through
them, like they were getting like
681
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.840
holes through the bottom of the shoe
into the insult. I could not wear
682
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:13.920
that. I had to change into
my other hammer forced black shoe for the
683
00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:17.159
first time since those white TPUs came
out. I think I was rooming with
684
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:24.079
Jesus Simonelli. So this is like
twenty fourteen that probably names Jesus shoes.
685
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.199
So I understand that desperate times,
desperate measures type shit, But why did
686
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:36.360
you change your shoes the day before
bowling on television after you just because I'm
687
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:39.599
the same issues you are? Is
that why I still have holes in the
688
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:45.480
bottom of my shoes right now?
So apaches right now? Yeah, it's
689
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:50.400
it's really could have been the only
conceivable reason why I don't think you and
690
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:54.880
I mean unless listen new contracts coming
out. Maybe in the contracts it says,
691
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:58.559
you know, effective this day,
you can't wear this no matter who
692
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:00.440
you are, even if you are
bowling for a major or if they had
693
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:02.920
a contract that you have the right
size, then too, don't tell you.
694
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.760
I mean, well, that's all
right, So that's that's a question.
695
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:13.079
I'm assuming everybody had a question too. So I didn't know the own
696
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:16.320
sides of my own shoes. So
oh you actually went oh, you were
697
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:20.239
like, I think I'm a ten
and a half. Yeah, and they
698
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:22.320
were like, turns out you're a
seven. I mean, I'm exaggerating obviously,
699
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:28.639
obviously a ball breaking territory, because
now we could have said, you
700
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:30.239
don't know your shoe size, and
then we could have said, well,
701
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:34.960
didn't they feel big when you tried
them on? Like I'm gonna jerk an,
702
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:40.239
We're gonna let them go today.
Why did you get two pair of
703
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:45.239
socks? Then? Damn it?
Jacob, do you remember what your first
704
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.719
ball was? That's a good one. Oh man, that's a lot of
705
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:55.719
thinking. Can you also maybe know
it? I know it was before high
706
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:01.840
school. My first ever three hundred
bowing ball was a BVP gargoyle. Nice
707
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:07.599
if that helps. Nice a BVP
gargoyle. Yeah, if you look it
708
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:13.199
up, I think you mean visionary
gargoyle. Yeah, visionary gargoyle. Color.
709
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:15.519
Which color was it? It was
the green one? Oh wow,
710
00:49:15.920 -->
00:49:20.119
that ball was sick. I love
the granted one, that gray one.
711
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:23.000
That ball looked like a goddamn rock. Johnny is a bowling ball savant.
712
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:28.360
Yeah, I just happened, he
said, He said BVP. So there
713
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:31.719
was a time period where Brunswick had
a line called the Brunswick Value Performance Products
714
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.639
and that was Balls Like the Goliath. That was Balls like the Rampage,
715
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:42.760
and but Visionary Bowling Products was VBP. So when he said b VP,
716
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:45.880
I'm automatically thinking Brunswick, and he's
talking about the Rampage and he's talking about
717
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.639
the Goliath and the Nemesis and all
this other shit. And then I'm like,
718
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.119
wait a minute, no, because
I tried a couple. I tried
719
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:55.199
a couple Visionary Bowling Products too.
I had that pink fucking Gargoyle, remember
720
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.320
that ball, and um god,
there was one more. I had one.
721
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:00.840
I think it was called Sorcerer.
Yes, Sherry said, the green
722
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:07.480
one was the O G Cargoing Hell
yeah, Sherry, Yeah. Hey,
723
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.000
I gotta tell you Rob real quick. And to our viewers and to Jacob,
724
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.800
I am at work today. I
actually took my hour lunch break to
725
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:17.519
be here with you because I traded
off to spend Mother's Day with my girlfriend
726
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:22.639
and the family. So I do
have to I I can stay it's about
727
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:24.360
ten after six, but after that, if you guys are still here,
728
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:28.400
great, But as always, it's
a pleasure and if I don't get a
729
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:30.960
chance when I do leave. Jacob, thank you so much for hanging and
730
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:36.039
being here with us tonight. And
so I have some random actually, ohho,
731
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:38.239
you have random questions that we were
chatting about in our little group chat
732
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.559
before. Do you want to rapid
fire some of those that I just wrote
733
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:46.800
some examples because but mine, we're
gonna be to you're you're good, No
734
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:51.960
good, go ahead, Rob,
you get in there. You hear jacob
735
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.199
favorite food, where do I start? I'm fat? Yeah, I hear
736
00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:04.960
you see Mexican or Asian? Like
literally, um, if it's Mexican,
737
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.760
it's a CA city is. If
it's aiving Italian, that's ravioli. Any
738
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.960
seafood has to have any kind of
fish. When you're on tour, do
739
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.320
you you look for these? Obviously? Right, You're like, Okay,

00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.000
where's the Mexican joint or summer?
Okay? I do whenever I go to
741
00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:20.960
Yeah, I'm one of those guys
that I'm not gonna look for like a
742
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.760
Chick fil a Chili's like I'm looking
for something a hole in the wall.
743
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.679
Whenever I go to stop to Stop. I love it, momus, he's
744
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:30.880
a food dude, I love it. Duds. I've never looked for that.
745
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:35.239
I think you're I think you're my
spirit animal. Um, that's fantastic.
746
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:39.280
Favorite fast food. Oh, she's
talk talk about nice. That's my
747
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:45.159
life. Dam she's Uh, she's
hardcore talbot who loves to talking about fast
748
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:46.920
food. I'll talking about food in
general. I don't talk about slow food,
749
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:53.280
fast food into any kind of food. Right. Um, let's see.
750
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:58.960
Favorite thing to do when you're not
bowling. Uh, It depends on
751
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:01.840
the stop. But I love going
to like sports games if they're at home
752
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:06.760
during tour stops. Hell, yeah, I love that just any you want
753
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:08.119
to be at the home stadium for
what the ambiance or something like that.
754
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.000
Yeah, just to enjoy the stadium. I want to check them off.
755
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.000
Well that's cool. Well, so, what are some of the coolest places
756
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:19.320
you've been like stadiums, arenas that
you can you can think of. I
757
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:23.400
haven't been to munch but uh we
went to uh at the at the US
758
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:27.280
Open this past year. We went
to the Pacers game out in Indianapolis.
759
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.000
That was pretty cool. Um that
was just during the season, though,
760
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:32.639
Like I mean, just in general. I live in Arizona Chase Fields.
761
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:36.880
Even though the Diamondbacks can't beat the
Dodgers any any time of the year.
762
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:42.000
They have a nice stadium. Yeah, I was beautiful stadiums out there,
763
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:49.239
did you there? They do that. If the Diamondbacks won the World Series
764
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:51.960
at home, I was gonna jump
in the pool. Yeah. I don't
765
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:53.519
think it means the three thousand and
one World Series, say, yeah,
766
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:58.920
yeah, I was barely alive.
I was like I was in grade school.
767
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.519
I remember, like, didn't even
recognize your Diamondbacks back then with those
768
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:07.719
uniforms Colaric. Now they're horrible because
I think they recognize it because they hit
769
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:12.440
the game winner off that that one
of the best relievers ever, the best.
770
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.920
But if the infield wasn't in cheater
was it was little little blooper right
771
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:24.840
You could see his freaking arms when
he raises his hands. Holy Jesus,
772
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:29.079
like, excuse me, swing right, just a little blooper right over here.
773
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:30.360
No, listen, it was a
cutter. He he didn't get it
774
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:34.039
because it was a cutter bearing in
he's a lefty. Not that I saw
775
00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:37.519
the game one million times or anything, and it's in my memory. Yeah,
776
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.760
I know that, like he knows
bowling balls. That's fantastic. U.
777
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.320
Tammy Pissaro wants to know. I
asked him quicktion for my son that
778
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:46.840
he's sitting with me. We met
you at the pro am. He wants
779
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.599
to know how many three hundred games
you have? Uh, and I would
780
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:52.760
like to say congratulations. I know
you came in second and I saw your
781
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:59.360
post congratulating Kevin on his on his
win. You're a class act and a
782
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.360
great role model for kids to see
that kind of sportsmanship. Thank you.
783
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:07.800
Um, I'm I sent it to
someone the other day. I'm at one
784
00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:13.039
hundred and thirty four three hundred games
in my life on a pb E tour
785
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.519
or just toural just total national tour. I believe I'm at twenty three.
786
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.719
What does that, Johnny? How
many do you have? Like four hundred?
787
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.039
Well? When you I WHOA hang
on a second here, I very
788
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:30.079
very much expected the number to be
well over two hundreds. Can you blame
789
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:31.679
me? I'm just busting your ball. No, No, I'm serious,
790
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:37.519
though I can't be. Probably has
more hundreds, you probably more than three
791
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.559
hunds plastic than I do regular.
So you have nine tour titles, So
792
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:49.159
you have talent though that I don't
come on. That's there's a big difference
793
00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:53.000
there. But yeah, but we're
that number surprised me very much. It
794
00:54:53.079 --> 00:54:58.960
surprises me that he's got twenty three
PBA three hundreds, but he only has
795
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:07.760
one hundred and thirty three hundred games. That's but here's the other here's the
796
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.119
other thing. Though. It does
make sense before you say that, because
797
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:14.519
you've been on tour for how many
years? That's what I just said.
798
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:17.199
He's always bowling on tour. He's
not bowling league. Now, if he's
799
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:22.000
good for the last ten years and
he bowled twice a week, then yeah,
800
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:23.679
I think maybe he would have like
seven hundred. He'd have forty in
801
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:29.039
a freaking league season on the big
red whifflebat pattern. Yeah, okay,
802
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:30.719
now it makes more sense. I
answered my own question. And now now
803
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:34.519
we're just piling on. Everybody says
you should have more. Just still make
804
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:37.039
him feel bad, Johnny, Yeah, leave the guy alone. Man,
805
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.480
he's wearing an awesome freaking sponsors.
Now, we got t shirts getting made
806
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:45.199
already. I already called the art
department whole call that stuff. We got
807
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:52.440
it. I love yours a memoir
of his? Are you wearing? Yeah,
808
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.320
it looks like a SpongeBob shirt.
Is is that Patrick? Yeah,
809
00:55:55.800 --> 00:56:00.280
good job, of course it is. Those look likely the sucks were on
810
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:06.639
this TV show and we can see
through your holes in your shoes. Just
811
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:10.360
kidding. Oh that's horrible. Um
so if you have the type of podcast,
812
00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:15.079
sorry, if you would have won
the players, you already would have
813
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:16.960
been eligible for the PBA Hall of
Fame. Like I know you kind of
814
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:22.159
said, you know, growing up
as a kid and going now You're like,
815
00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:24.559
I can't believe him on a tour, Like did you ever think as
816
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:29.360
a kid bowling like you'd be eligible
for Hall of Fame or even bowling on
817
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:31.599
the tour to beginning with it,
Like at twenty nine years old, you
818
00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:34.760
could already be a shore. I
mean, you're already pretty much a shooing.
819
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:37.199
The way he's talking now, it
already seems like it doesn't seem real
820
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.039
to him, and I'm not.
That's something kind of saying, like are
821
00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:44.639
you still so he's so docile,
humble, normal? I guess, I
822
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:45.800
say, can you wrap your head
around? It? Is pretty much what
823
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:50.760
I'm asking if you had told me
I was blowing on the lanes currently right
824
00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:54.320
now with EJ simul Belmo all those
guys right now as we speak, how
825
00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:59.280
it called you a lunatic like and
winning a lot of times. What do
826
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:04.320
you mean just knowing them eating you're
beating them sick? I promised this isn't
827
00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.320
an act either like that? Why
do we have you on? We like
828
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.960
having people on this show that we
know, we're real and our listeners on
829
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:15.559
this show like people
that are real
kind of shit that we and our listeners
830
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:20.920
want to fucking hear. Dude,
were one hundred percent and know that you're
831
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.280
that kind of person. It's you. You're You're the kind of person that
832
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:27.639
sits back and says Jesus. I
used to envy Parker Bone and Jason Couch,
833
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:31.280
and now those guys are looking at
me and asking how many pins ahead
834
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:35.880
of us is he this week?
Like they're they're talking about you like fuck
835
00:57:35.960 --> 00:57:39.480
butters ball and that's guaranteed second place
finished for me at best. That's the
836
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:43.960
kind of shit that those that your
idols are saying about you now, which
837
00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.239
is you know, it's that's something
now we should let to answer. I
838
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:52.519
guess the question. So is it
surreal we just overt We just overpowered the
839
00:57:52.599 --> 00:58:00.360
guy. We suck, We suck
that I'm new this too. Um no,
840
00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:06.159
I uh, what's funny is that
I'm sitting in the I'm currently sitting
841
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:10.679
in the uh the room of the
infamous guy that probably has more three hundreds
842
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:16.199

planet. I'm sending the room of yer.
843

00:59:20.400 -->
00:59:23.840

865
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:54.400
in Pennsylvania. Had a surprise visit
from Brendon Runk at my league last night.
866

to see them. Saw Daria downstairs playing
868
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:12.199
in slot machine before league, right
into Carson Lakoshish. I think I saw
869
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:14.880
Amber McLeod I'm not sure, but
yeah, it was. It was nice
870
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:21.119
to see and not see there is
that what is that? Is that?
871
01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:24.039

about where he's at. Where he's at,
872

He's out in Pennsylvania. So I've
been staying with so in the off
873
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:32.800
season whenever we don't have a tour
stop. I've actually been staying with the
874
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:39.920
Nyers because it with the airfare prices
that make you want to like refect your
875
01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:46.639
bank as count. Yeah, they
they unfortunately allowing it to where it's too
876
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:50.840
expensive to go back home. So
I'm staying out here in Pennsylvania with Anton
877
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.920
and Andy before I go out to
the Super Slam this weekend where Oh gotcha?

Slam is in uh Florida this weekend
879
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:04.719

01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:09.320

knowledge, yes, I hope they host

and the Super Slam is host seeing this
882
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.239

you looking forward to that? I'm sure,
884
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:20.679
And I know it's a unique thing
they've done the last few years,
885
01:01:20.719 --> 01:01:22.400
but it's kind of a little fun
gig. I know, I don't it
886
01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:29.320
doesn't count towards uh tour titles.
Right, it doesn't, but it's specially
887
01:01:29.440 --> 01:01:31.840
be a part of it, especially
since I was fortunate enough to get into
888
01:01:31.880 --> 01:01:36.760
the MM because everybody ahead of me
in the show was a major
winner.
889
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:39.280
So that's one of the reasons why
I was able to get in there.
890
01:01:39.639 --> 01:01:43.960
But at the same time, it's
uh the time to go out there,
891
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:46.960
enjoy bowling, enjoy food, and
enjoy the beach. Yeah, absolutely right,
892
01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:50.719
And Johnny, you were talking about
that, like with the recent successes,
893
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.400
everybody like, who who's not going
to get into the Super Slammer.
894
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:57.519
You know, I forgot how you
phrase it last week, but it's something
895
01:01:57.599 --> 01:02:01.559
you brought up talking about Jacob was
we was saying that because EJ had won
896
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:07.000
two majors and Simo would won a
major, we were trying to figure out
897
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:14.559
if, since you were already in
due from your second place finish, if
898
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:20.599
Simo or EJ or you would have
won the Players Championship, who would have
899
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:25.760
been the other person? So infield, let's date back to the World Championship.
900
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:30.360
So the reason why I finished fourth
of the World Championship, but I
901
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:35.199
was behind EJ, Simo and Belmo, so I was automatically in the Super
902
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:38.800
Slam. So the way the scenario
worked out was at the Player's champ ship
903
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:43.360
only got to the final four.
Basically it was gonna be a toss up
904
01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:46.960
between Kevin mckun and Bill O'Neill.
Well, Kevin b Anthony and I ended
905
01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:52.800
up beating Bill. So because of
that, the only way it worked out
906
01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:57.800
that Kevin would have made it as
if Bill didn't get a tough well,
907
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:01.840
Bill, he would have one.
If the time much was Kevin and Bill,
908
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:07.679
it would have been whoever won the
match would would have gotten in well
909
01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:10.719
because I eat Bill no matter what. Kevin's in no matter what? Yeh,
910
01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:16.679
Who's like a playoff seating? Almost
a like question is if you win
911
01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:21.280
the Players Championship, it's still have
been Kevin, right, It's still have
912
01:03:21.400 --> 01:03:25.960
been Kevin. Ye that because Kevin
was the highest remaining seed, because I'm
913
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.400
already in gotcha? Okay? That
makes sense? Okay, that makes sense.
914
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:32.119
So what are you looking forward to
for then? The year? I
915
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:36.960
mean, obviously you're you're going to
the PBA playoffs right at the end of
916
01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:39.239
the year, are you are you? Are you looking forward to? Uh
917
01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:46.119
to that? So I'm looking forward? Yeah? So we when I realized
918
01:03:46.199 --> 01:03:51.519
that I ended up making the Super
Slam. I realized I'm already in every
919
01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:53.920
single summer event now at that point, I'm in the I'm in the Tour
920
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:57.840
Finals, I'm in the PBA League, I'm in the Super Slam. So
921
01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:00.920
just more more team time. There
you go, that's true. I mean,
922
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:04.880
that's more TV time is always good. Um, what have you found,
923
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:10.239
you know, working with with Fox? I know the commentators do a
924
01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:15.400
lot of a lot of prep before
the show and I've seen on Belmo's YouTube
925
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:20.119
channel of him sitting down with Rob
Stone and uh and Randy, did you
926
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:27.239
did you do that this past weekend? So like we were chatting before we
927
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:30.480
went on TV sets, Like I
would chat just to make sure I was
928
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:34.000
ready to go, like on the
top of the top of the hour interviews,
929
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:38.400
make sure I was going to go
before like when they were asking questions,
930
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:42.800
making sure that was prep for everything's
sitting out. Hey, you know
931
01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:45.440
you're not just trying to answer your
questions right then and there. That makes
932
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:48.760
sense. I mean, they do
a lot of work and we typically we've
933
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:53.679
given Fox a lot of crap on
the show for for how they produced the
934
01:04:53.719 --> 01:04:57.400
show sometimes or part of it that
but part of it was when it's only
935
01:04:57.480 --> 01:05:00.719
a certain couple of commentators too,
when they have they do stand up jobs.
936
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:03.519
When there's certain people and some just
don't seem to have as much,
937
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:09.039
seems like it's a running gag at
times when there's important ship going on.
938
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:13.440
But and whatever brings eyeballs to it. If somebody jumps in, I'm all
939
01:05:13.519 --> 01:05:18.880
for it. How does Kimberly Pressler
look? Is this where I pull a
940
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.840
simon On no comment? Yeah,
that's probably a good idea. That's fine
941
01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:26.199
to realize that you say it now
that we already know what your answer is.
942
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:32.559
I think Kimberly Kimberly is she's an
amazing person the way she she comes
943
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:38.719
up before every show, like asking
questions to make sure that the interviews are
944
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:43.599
good to go every single every single
show. And she's really good at her
945
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:45.480
job. I'm sure she's probably got
a lot of grief in the past,
946
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:50.239
but she is. She's very good
her job. She's very intelligent with how
947
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:56.800
she's prepping
her questions and how the
answers are coming out. And you can't
948
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.519
blame that, Yeah, exactly,
Well for that, Well, Johnny's gotta
949
01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:04.599
go so uh and then we suck. So we're not going to carry the
950
01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:08.280
show without him because it's it's his
show. Nobody wants to hear us,
951
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:11.679
but Jacob, we certainly appreciate you
being on here man. Best of luck
952
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:16.679
in the Super Slam and the playoffs
and playoffs and the league this year.
953
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:21.239
Um, it's uh, what's your
Twitter handler? Now? All that fun
954
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:26.719
stuff, let's get some plugs in
here. Well before we saw on Twitter
955
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.719
it's Jay Buttroff, the capitol JB
and then everything else is the lowercase.
956
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.559
Hopefully you know how to spell my
last name. It took me a while
957
01:06:33.559 --> 01:06:36.000
to get used to it, but
I'm I'm I don't know. And then
958
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:42.280
it's just Jacob Butcher of three hundred
on Instagram. You can't miss my bowling
959
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.639
pictures. And then you got my
athlete page on Facebook. So I know
960
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:47.679
this is a super obvious question.
But kids had to give you shit in
961
01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:53.480
school for your name, right,
because kids are assholes? Oh? Absolutely.
962
01:06:53.559 --> 01:06:57.679
I mean there's a bunch of kids
that demon will have to pronounced my
963
01:06:57.760 --> 01:06:59.719
last name. So they come up
to me and try to pronounce it for
964
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:00.880
me, and I was like,
no, you're wrong, and I go,
965
01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:03.519
no, you're I'm right. Yeah, right right. I don't know
966
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:05.760
how to pronounce my last name.
Man, that makes sense. You have
967
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:10.440
streak ball. You can probably talk
to my dad. But you're lucky that
968
01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:12.920
I can't tell you the answer I
want you right now, otherwise I get
969
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:15.440
suspended. That's fair, that's fair. It's about the meanest Jacob will ever
970
01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:20.599
get. I love it. No, that's fantastic. Jabody likes me and
971
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:24.960
Jacob trust me so many A couple
of people see me and Jacob, so
972
01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:30.400
that's fair. It's calling jay Bone
called mean Jacob jay Bone. Well,
973
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:34.280
Stephanie and I saw your comment.
Tell Amber that she really sorry. I
974
01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:38.920
didn't say hi. I wasn't one
hundred percent it was her anyway. That's
975
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:41.920
that's my send off at jpj R. Zero seven. But seriously, in
976
01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:44.239
closing, guys, I'm sorry that
I do have to ditch out a little
977
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:47.199
bit early tonight. But uh,
Jacob, it's been a pleasure having you
978
01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:50.360
here, and uh, please come
back and join us again in the future.
979
01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:54.920
Come back and maybe after you win
Player of the Year next year,
980
01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:01.800
we'll talk about another entirely awesome good
season. But absolutely and new shirts and
981
01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:06.679
take it away and finish everything up. But I gotta go and get clocked
982
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:10.199
in. So thanks to all of
our viewers for being here. I love
983
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:15.560
you guys, and I'll see you
later. Tgph. All right, Johnny's
984
01:08:15.560 --> 01:08:20.279
gone. We talk shit about him
now. H No, seriously, Jacob,
985
01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.520
thank you for being here. Man. I know you guys have busy
986
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:26.640
schedules and you got a lot coming
up, but uh, and you know
987
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.920
you are without blowing smoke up your
ass here. You're one of the top
988
01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:31.520
bowlers in the world and we've been
blowing smoke up his ass for the last
989
01:08:31.560 --> 01:08:35.399
half the last hour. Wasn't that
intentional? Fiable? No, No,
990
01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:40.840
but it's just justified. Like I
mean, well, we're not blowing' not
991
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:43.840
used to, so let's telling them
the truth. These are. This is
992
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:46.840
the truth show. That's fair.
We're just a shitty fan podcast. But
993
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:51.479
you're a real big gut so we
appreciate you being here. I love you
994
01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:55.239
guys for who you are. Guys
are right now. Trust me. I'm
995
01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.760
like, well I say I'm humble. I'm not just humble for a good
996
01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.119
crowd. I'm humble for the bat
crowd as well. So that's the best
997
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:04.079
way I look at it. That's
fair. And Ocho still has the biggest
998
01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:08.359
guns in the world, so that's
not true. But second, so I
999
01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:11.640
mean seconds. Everybody here to chat. Thank you guys for showing up here
1000
