He's been doing it for as long as I can remember, and with the amazing level of talent currently on the PBA tour, I had to have him on to talk about the 2022 season, what's he's looking forward to and where this current generation of talent ranks all time.

Thank you so much to Tom Clark for talking PBA bowling and how he and the everyone at the PBA are doing what they can to improve our beloved sport.

When she called me TikTok guy in Rockford, I knew this podcast was going to HAVE to happen. Liz Kuhlkin has been one of the most competitive bowlers on the PWBA tour since it's re-inception in 2015 and I couldn't be more proud to have her on to talk about her m...

He's probably one of, if not the, most hated man in bowling. Everywhere you go in the world of bowling, someone has something bad to say about Chad Murphy.

I'll be honest and say I believed some of, if not most of it. But thankfully, I was able to go down to USBC Headquarters and spend some time at the campus as well as have this conversation with the man who is the face of the organization.

This conversation is meant to shine a li...

"I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them." Andy Bernard (The Office).

This is one I will never forget. I am so happy to have had this conversation with a man who I consider the greatest to have ever bowled on the PBA tour and get insight into how he got to be who he is, how he keeps is all together and what the future holds.

Jason Belmonte is truly one of a kind. I cannot thank him...

The journey of Ten Pin Life has been absolutely insane. But to have four guys who I look up to in the sport I love so much sit down together in one of the coolest places in bowling HISTORY to talk about their Ten Pin Life, well that's just a dream come true.

This is the first of (hopefully) many Bowler's Roundtables where we sit with a group of bowling professionals to talk shop and tell stories. Kris Prather, Parker Bohn III, Andr...

He went from being a mostly unknown amateur to two TV finals in one year and in his first three games on TV, shot 803. Zach Weidman is no joke folks, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks through and starts winning consistently on the PBA tour.

Zach is a Purdue graduate and in his time there, he perfected his ...

Sometimes a business or an industry is provided a major blessing in a person. Those star players are able to make a significant, positive impact on the people and processes around them in a short amount of time. 

Bowling is lacking in star players overall, but we are blessed to have one of them joining us this week in Matthew Farber. Not only is Matt a gifted bowler (Junio...

I know it's super cheesy, but when I was able to get in contact with Tim to do this podcast, I got a little emotional. Tim has been my favorite bowler (and person in bowling) since 2016. His love and passion for the sport is truly unmatched and he is simply everything that bowling needs. You know when Tim walks in the r...

The fact that he won Player of the Year in only his second season on the PBA tour is absolutely ridiculous and amazing. Making that big of an impact though will set the bar of expectations really high and when that can't be met, sometimes it is taxing on the person even to the point of doing something else.

Thankfully,...

He was on the other side of one of the most talked about events in bowling in a long time and because of that, we forgot to talk about what he was able to accomplish before the eruption from Sean Rash.

He's the two time $100,000 man, he's one of the most prominent 'up-and-comers' in the game, and he's THE SHARK. Kris Prather is well on his way to building a hall of fame career on the PBA tour, and he was generous enough to take some time to talk with me about where he's been, and where he's headed.

Imagine you could go back and talk to Tiger Woods before he won his first major and tap into his process. Just get a glimpse into what he was doing before taking over the world by storm. I can only hope that this is one of those times.

No sport has evolved more in the last 20 years than bowling. Almost everything besides the length of the lane and the number of pins has changed. Keeping up with the changes has been the biggest challenge to contend with for governing bodies, ball manufacturers, proprietors and everyone else that works in the bowling industry

With all that change, imagine what it would take to create a hall of fame career. The trials, the patience,...

Imagine sitting down with the likes of Mike Trout, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods or Aaron Rodgers. I know most people wouldn't put EJ Tackett on that same level, but as a huge fan of professional bowling, this is a conversation I thought would never happen.

And the best part about it is how easy it was. EJ is clearly ready to get out on tour again, keep it loose and win. I couldn't believe how easy it was to just talk about bowling a...

She's one of the most successful youth bowlers in history, having won the Teen Masters and been runner up in back to back years.
