Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now I told you I had an Elliott in the
morning promotional announcement for you for today, and I am
glad after all this time, it has finally come together
and it will take place not this coming Friday, but
a week from Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We will head to Uptown.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Alley for Diane's bowling challenge. Absolutely, absolutely so. And it's
very simple. It's very simple. All Diane has to do
is bull as strike and then the rest of the
night is great. We're free to do whatever we want.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The problem is if Diane does not bullet strike, we
could be there forever forever.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now, I do know.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
That they like, we'll be there until they close, Diane
if we need to be. And that's really all I
can do for you is to get you a strike
before you go.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I will have no part of it. Nobody will have
any part of it. This is all on Diane to
have to do on her own.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Knowing this was coming today, Diane, as the announcement, did
you fire up the old Wei system to see how
you were doing with that bowling?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I think that's packed away.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
See that's not what I was going to ask.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I was going to ask if you have spent any
time talking to Mike Jones, who does bowl in a league.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Right, No, I mean I should obviously pick his brain.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The how about practice with him?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
So next Sunday mornings aren't good for me.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Next Friday, not this coming Friday. But that's November the first.
That's the other part that weirds me out.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
That it's November.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yes, yes, so November one, we will be at Uptown
Alley in mid Lothian. Uh right off two eighty eight
and three sixty. I believe Diane dons her shoes at Listen.
If things go well, Diane could be done by seven
(02:05):
oh one. Now Dian is renting, she does not own.
They're not her shoes. Someone else will wear them later
that night the and somebody will have worn them previously,
somebody with a really big foot.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's if Diane gets a damn strike.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The But that's what I was gonna say. Diane, you
realize all of this could be when I say over,
your part of it could be over at seven oh one, right,
it could be over at seven oh two.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It could still be going on at.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
One fifteen in the morning. That's up to you. It's
a once right challenge, that's it. All You got to
do is make one strike. Now, if Diane's done at
seven oh two, it's not like we're packing.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Up and leaving.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Oh, then we get to celebrate the strike?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh could you imagine? Oh what do you do? What
is it? What is a I don't know what. What
is a traditional bowling celebrate?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Like something akin to getting a hole in one?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The Oh do you have to buy around for everybody? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I like that? No? No, Like I was gonna say,
do you drink out of your shoe? But not out
of those?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
But also, by the way, everyone who bowls gets strikes.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The it's like a hole in one? What are we
talking about? No?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
No, But is there is no celebration for one strike?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But is there? Is there a traditional bowling drink? You
know how? Like the the one mint.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Jewlip at at at the Kentucky Derby or the what
is it the one eyed Black guyed Susan at Preakness?
Is there a is there? Whoever wins the Indianapolis five
hundred drinks milk? What does the winner do at the
end of like the professional Bowlers Tour, like the guy
who's the champ.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I've never seen one of those ceremonies.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Do I need to have that on standby?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Is it anything outside of the normal beer and nachos?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
The Oh you know I'm eating like crazy at Uptown Alley.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh they have great food. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Absolutely, Now, Dunian, I don't want you to eat anything
that's gonna be messy on the fingers. Can't because those
are gonna be inside. What I'm assuming is a very
clean bowling ball that will have been to put aside
just for you. So again, let me give you the details. Christa,
will you do me a favor? Will you see if
you can find me people who bowl, whether it's in
(04:26):
a league.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
League. Bowling again has become very very big.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Look at the Joneses the okay, not just because of them,
but yes, uh, somebody who is in a bowling league.
I do have one very very important question to ask
for Diane. But somebody who bowls recreationally maybe is in
a league? I need them please eight six six to
Elliott eight six six two three five five four six
(04:51):
eight again, not this coming Friday. Next Friday, we have
plenty of time to plan. Friday, November the first, we
will be at Uptown Alley. We will be there for
Diane's one strike challenge. Y, it's a bowling joke. Yeah,
uh so we will.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Be there for that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Come one, Come on, be there to celebrate Diane either
a as she bowls her.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Have you ever bowled a strike before ever in your life?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I don't know. I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I got when he is the last time you bowled?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
When was the last time? The thing we did was
some forty one?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Are you serious? Probably that's the last time we bowled.
I don't even remember.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Bold or did we do something beyond? Do we do
another one? The some forty one thing? I was a
part timer in promotions, right, So that's twenty plus years ago?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Was that the was there?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Was there one that was more recent?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Though? With a band? No? The last band we went
bowling with was some forty one?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, I think that was it? So or No, you
know what I'm thinking of. Didn't we We had a
smith's party at like are something?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yes, and I don't think we bowld.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
No, we walked in, we got our gift certificates, and
we walked out and went to a sushi dinner.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yes, okay, so you have it bowled in twenty plus years?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Probably? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
What's this what is that saying?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Now, I did take it as an elective in college.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
So it was an easy ad.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
How did you do?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
All I had to do was ace the final? That
if you aced the final, you he didn't take your
bowling average into consideration.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Do you remember what your bowling average was?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Have you ever cracked a hundred? I don't know, Diane,
you would remember if you in college? Did you ever
crack one hundred?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Doubt it? So you think at some forty one you
cracked a hundred.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Will the pressure of the people bother you?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Yes, don't eat heckling? That okay, that's the Second's not gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Help gut her?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Wait, No, I am not doing the woe forevery r
Think of the viral moment when she finally gets.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The wait, can I ask something though?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
At least it won't get annoying bad lane.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know the answer to this.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So in order in order Diane to get the X
to get the strike right, that's the first bowl of
the frame.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I haven't talked to anybody like like behind the scenes
and mechanics at at Uptown Alley are they going to
reset the lane every every time you throw, or does
somebody have to I don't want you to throw.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Do I just go down? Do I go back and
forth between two lanes?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No, they're not giving us every lane. They're trying to
do a business.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Then it's gonna take a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They gave us an they gave us, and they're gonna
Friday night Halloween, I know.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
And they're gonna have to then they're gonna have to
reset it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But the fact that it's Halloween, I am gonna go nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, it's not the say gabber all the Halloween stuff's
the weekend before. Yes, okay, the night before is Halloween.
You don't think that I'm still gonna have Halloween fun
on Friday, November first.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's gonna be a black absolute Halloween. This is Diane's
going So what's my challenge?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But now I do But here's my question, and I'll
have to get to somebody at Uptown Alley.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So like Diane goes up right and.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
She's gonna do her first her first of could be
one or a million bowls that night.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
She's gonna go up and she's gonna.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, oh, three pins.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We forgot okay you ready.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Oh by the way, if Diane got everything but a
seven to ten, that would be a huge home run.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
It's gonna hate you so much during it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But I don't want Diane to have to throw the
second ball.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You're gonna have to discuss that with them then.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Because that is that's going to hours. If this takes
you five six hours, that is good. Do you know
what your arm is gonna feel like? Forget bowling more.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I already do have shoulder issues.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Ore you gonna have? Wait? Kid? Do you bowl with
your left or your right right?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Does it hurt to do this routine?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
As long as I don't have to lift it in
a bent motion, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay no, because you'll bowl follow.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
That's that's that'll be fine. That's you heard the audio
from out the person playing. Do we need on site cupping?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Pardon me?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So do I need to bring in a physical therapist?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
We can find acupuncturist.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Isn't hoby a uh a acupuncturing?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
He'll just spit dip it. Darth wants to know if
they'll be bumpers up.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, absolutely not good child, There's no bumpers and Diane's
not doing that thing, And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think it's for what do they call it? Not
duck pen, No, it's what's a better word for this?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
But I don't understand what you're even trying to say.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That ramp that you bowl the ball down, use that too, Yeah,
but don't.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
No, it's I think it's for children's parties.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's also i've seen it for this where there's the
guy in the wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh is it I have never seen that before.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, where they like wheel themselves out there, and then
there's like that ramp that they dropped the ball down.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, we're not doing that either.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
The oh I got to strike that was a spare.
She rolled during the wrong part of the frame.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I want to be able to I want to
be able to just reset the even if we got
to push the button. I don't want you to try
to throw the second ball.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Honestly, no waste of time.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
By by one thirty in the morning, you'll be dead.
Like literally, we'll be picking your arm up off the ground. Oh,
I can't wait next Friday, seven pm. It starts now.
The Can I ask one other technical question which I
haven't asked, you know, like sometimes when people go for
(11:36):
like like like records, where they'll go like you get
and let me finish before we start jumping in, where
the person gets like a five or ten minute break
per hour, no break the well, I think that there
may need to be maybe not every hour. But if
you think I'm gonna stand there drinking and watching Diane
(11:57):
and oh got one pin, like I'm gonna need to
like everybody's gonna need a moment to freshen up, have
a cigarette, get another drink, like we're gonna need We're
gonna need time.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
But if she does it on the first roll, also
stop saying that it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You don't know that, you don't know that.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Take fun.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh if Diane does it on either the first or
the second roll, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
That would be amazing, amaze balls.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Someone else asks if she's allowed to use two hands?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
See now this brings up the question that I had. Okay,
there are people, what is do you know what your
bowling form is?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Excuse me?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Now? Oh that's gonna be the disclaimer and waivery sign?
When when your arm dies?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Where am I going? Like somebody? Line eight? Hi elliot
in the morning. Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
This is Michelle from Richmond.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hey, Michelle, you know we're coming bowling. I heard that
Uptown Alley. Baby, not this Friday, next Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Next Friday, November the first seven pm will be at
Uptown Alley anyway, Yes, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
So I used to work in a bowling alley.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
I waitress the lanes.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
During leagues, right, and I also blowed in leagues.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh hey, so let me ask you. This is there
a way to jimmy it up? And this is somebody
from Uptown Alley will have to be able to answer.
Where like it resets after every throw so that nobody's
got to throw the second ball.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
So you should be able to do it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Depending on how old the lanes are.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
There might be a button that you can manually reset.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, right, or you can do it on the computer screen.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh the computers. Well, I don't know how to operate
the computer screen. Somebody will. There'll be somebody there if
I Hobe knows how to operate the bowling screen. All right,
but we should be able to get that done because
Diane can't bowl for seven eight hours in a stretch.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
No, I don't think so, but yeah, somebody there should
be able to help you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Excellent, excellent, all right, very good, very good, thank you.
Where Where am I going? Mind one? Hi Ellie in
the morning.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
Hi, this is Lisa from mid Lothian.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh, Lisa, Oh my god, we're going to be right
in your neck of the woods next Friday.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Not this coming Friday, but November.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
I live less than five minutes from Uptown Alley.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Is there any chance you'll be coming by to cheer on, Diane.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I'm actually thinking about it. I'd really love to.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Do that absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Who may be there league?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Oh yeah, I'm all in the league, probably over twenty
five years now.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Hey, can I ask you this?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And I was talking to Mike Jones, who who works
works here right, and he's he's in a league with
his wife. They're both in some Sunday morning league. It's ridiculous,
but he was. He was saying that his wife, missus Jones,
she's just learning to bowl underhanded, like with her hand
(15:19):
underneath that she normally bowls with her hand like palm
down as opposed to palm up.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Have you ever heard okay, unusual, No, never, that's very unusual.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where where and where do you you're you're currently in
a league.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Where do you bowl? Now? Do you bullet Uptown Alley?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I Bullet Bowl America Southwest Uptown Alley doesn't have leagues.
They don't boil.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
The lanes.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
They're very dry. I throw a hookball, so on a
dry lane, I could be on the left side and
throw it to the right gutter and it'll still come
back to the left side. So it's it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Do you bomb? You palm up or palm down?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Palm down, definitely, and my hand comes around the.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Ball for the hook like that. Doyan do you? Hey,
thank you. You've been very helpful. Dya do you? That's
why I was asking you don't know what you're bowling it?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
I'm palm up?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
But what if real like awkward? No?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You hold the ball like this right, so this one underneath.
You hold the ball here, and then when you bring
it back, you just fling it, fling it out.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I've seen that before.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I went that's how That's how Jones's wife bawls.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
You keep saying that, but he's not even tuned in anymore.
He's so upset with Diane about what he wrote. Because
you mentioned his Sunday Morning League. Yes, he wrote, these
are all issues we could have been working on at practice, Diane.
But hey, I guess there are more important things to
do on Sunday mornings than become a champion.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
By the way, I would bet what would you do
yesterday morning?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
As an example at East did you really? Oh, you
know what? To get yourself ready? No, just pilates the
why don't you go this coming Sunday? You have one
Sunday between now and when we're there, this coming Sunday.
Why don't you go bowling with Jones at.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Least figure out maybe you maybe you're good on a
hook ball that seems weird.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The let it go, Let it go. Kristen is gone
with the Joneses.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
She got a strike too, didn't she?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That is true? And Diane, so are you? Oh for
haven it?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
How tired? He'll be like.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It in for six hours, Diane.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Thomas wants to know if you have a bowling shirt
and if he were to get you one, would you
wear one that's been personalized as chief quef.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Now, I will say this, I have been working tirelessly
and I should know within the next day or two.
But I believe remember how we got shirts made up
for when the Clydesdale came. We may have bowling shirts
made up in time to be there for Friday.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
T shirts commemorating the event or bowling shirts bowling shirts.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yes, so Thomas don't waste her money?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
The well maybe not? Like, does Diane want a special
shirt or the one that everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Else is wearing when everybody else has you may need
a specialef chief Kleef shirt.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Not since Mama's Merleau has a promotion been so focused
on Diane? Right am? I forgetting something between Oasis Winery
and this?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
No, this is this is it and I'm very excited
for it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I mean it is very unusual for Diane to
get this attention.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
What is it gonna be like when when Diane bowls
her strike? You like my optimism? When Diane bowls her
strike and she comes running back from the line and
probably slips on the oil that comes running back from
the line, who's gonna be there to hoist.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Her in the air like a champion.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I envisioned we may carry her out of there, envision
somehow missing it.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
You're gonna be out smoking.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
To the well. That's why I was asked.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
And then you're gonna come in. I'm gonna go. Yeah,
I got my strike.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
They the break is for you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, we all could use the bread.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Thought you were trying to preserve her arm.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I am, But also at the same time, while she's
doing that, I wouldn't mind going outside. I'm gonna be
drinking in a bowling alley. I've got to go out
and have one or two.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
T X.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's all. You're trying to.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Get Diane, one one big X right up on that screen. Hey,
also at uptown Alley? Do they have it where like
I know they have the computers. Do we get to
type in the name?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I'm sure in that standard.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I can't wait to put Diane's up there.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Just and that's it, Diane. That's all I do.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Hope that the eyeballs don't work against her. We're all
supporting you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
What do you mean the eyeballs Probably for the first
couple hours, but I think it will peter out, get boring.
Oh my god, how many.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Where am I going? Kristen? Oh, everybody's everybody's online now?
Hi Ellie in the morning. Hello, Hell yeah, Hi? Who's this? Yes, Mackenzie?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
That is a fantastic call. You know what, We keep one.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We keep one on ice for you, Diane, because you
don't want that after five hours.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You don't want that milt to kerdle. But that that
is a great call.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It will be a water down sip ycause of the ice.

Greg? What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I bowled on several leagues and my best advice to Dieane,
and don't worry about that hook stuff. Those balls are
drilled especially for people to throw a hook, and only
your fingertips go into finger holes. And you want to
get the footing down. You want to end. If she's
right handed, she wants to then end up with her
(22:24):
left foot at the at the line, so her right
leg is not in the way of the ball when
she follows through with their with their swing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Now you lost, Diane, somewhere along the way.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
There the no left foot is that if you're right handed,
doesn't left foot hit the line and then you bowl in.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That right foot kicks No, right foot's at the line.
That left foot that kicks behind you. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Yeah, if you're if that way the ball, you don't
hit your leg with the ball. But those hook balls,
they're especially drilled.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right now, what about let me ask you this for
Diane paul up, her palm down would be best for her?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Well, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
Palm down is used with somebody that throws a hook,
so when their hand comes up the side of the ball,
it puts lift on the ball, which creates the spin.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Right, So it really.
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Doesn't make any difference. It's gonna be easier to hold
the ball.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Palm down, paul down is easier to hold the ball, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Because your fingers will be up in the hole and
the back out of your hand down. I'm sorry, not
palm down right?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yea?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
All right? Yeah, I was thinking wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's okay, because Diane's eyes just fell out of her head.
All right, very good, You've been very.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
If she is with a straight ball where she could
just start it, she's right in hand and start at
the right corner of the lane and and hangle it
in towards the center is the best chance to get
a strike.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
There you go. That seem thank you sir, That is true.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You kind of go off a little bit, and but
you don't want to bowl all the way across your
body because then where does.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
It.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Hopefully they got it Plane six.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I was never very good at bullying. The last time
I bold was also with some forty one.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But my god, people.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I remember though back in the day, I was always
told I had a very pretty trailing leg, like for
my release of course, and now my mom used to say,
I look like a dancer during further parties. So I
can show you how to look nice if you want
form wise at the end of your role.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The yeah, I listen.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I think all feel free to just shout out tips
at Diane tips.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
By the way, now that I think about it, you
know what I got in trouble the last time I bowled,
because I was bowling with I'm trying to remember everybody
that was there, but I know Nicholas back Strom was there,
and Nicholas and I were on the same team, and
I bowled. He bowled a strike, and I ran and
jumped up on him, like like a catcher jumps up
(25:10):
on a pitcher in baseball. And I jumped up and
I wrapped myself around Backstrom, and everybody flipped out like
if you throw his back, you son of a bitch, like.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That was a problem.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Don't worry. Only heard his hip.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Line too, Hi Elliot the morning.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Hi Elliott, Yes, Hi, Who is this?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
This is Denise?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yes, Denise. What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Diane? I would suggest to you that you make sure
your fingernails are trimmed or that's going to become an
issue for you.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Oh why I was keeping kind of short anyway, so
I think I'm no, She's like, like real, real nails,
you're gonna lose them.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well, not only that, do you want to crack your
fingernails and now you're bleeding all over your ball?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
God?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
No, exactly exactly, Diane, Diane, I have complete faith in you, Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Thank you. So that she gets it done before midnight,
that she gets.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It done within an hour. I will bet she gets
it done in an hour.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'll take that bet. How much? How much I don't
feel both?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Where are you in risk support you look into that.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh great question, great ques, great, great the thank you, ma'am. No,
don't a lot of people. Ballard used to wear one
of those.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
He was a Dorcas brought us a ball the Diane,
would you feel better using such like your own ball?
Speaker 6 (26:43):
I'm just concerned about the weight. I want it to
be as light as possible, like ten pounds, right? Is
that the Is that the the lightest one?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I have no idea, but remember the smaller the ball,
the smaller the finger holes.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, we're going for a strike, Diane.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Okay, yeah, well that's the unsad.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You don't want to throw a feather down there and
it bounce off.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
I think ten is good for me. The last time
I bowled twenty plus years ago, I remember a.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Ten pound ball.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Do you really? How do you remember that?
Speaker 6 (27:11):
I just remember, like having to find one that there
were a glut of thirteen pounds and those were two heavy,
too heavy.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So for children, they usually roll between six and fourteen
pound balls. What is an adult roll at? A ten
year old's best to use a ten pounds Okay, I'm
going to go with the ten year olds. A male
will typically roll a fourteen to sixteen pound ball.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I think I roll sixteen pound balls.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Women between ten and fourteen?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Ten?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But are they are they even numbered? Like do you
just get like a ten to twelve or fourteen?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think I've say odd, No you haven't.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think I think you go twelve, Diane, because you
want some umpun.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Let me try with ten and there needs to be
heavy and go life. If there needs to be a
strategy change right, which there will be.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Yes, that's I don't go n The other strategy is
hit the effing pins.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
You can't scream at me.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Line Hi Elliott in the morning, Good morning glass.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
I have a tip for Diane's yes, please, So whenever
I bowl, I do not put my holes or fingers
in the holes.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Well, just roll the ball down, you like, palm the
ball and just throw it.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Correct correct, because if you put your finger in the ball,
it makes the ball change when.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It leaves your hand. Sure you think she's got that much.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
It's harder, it's harder.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Oh, oh, that.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
That's a good strategy.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's harder with your fingers in there.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Yes, just pull them the ball and roll the ball down.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Honey, I can't palm a bowling ball.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, you can. Absolutely you can.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Okay, I'm not trying to drop it on my foot.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
The well, that's the other thing. I don't want a
lane violation with Diane's big old feet.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Can you imagine that she finally gets the X and
it doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
She'll get that one at seven oh one, and then
the actual strike at two fifteen am.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I'll feel like a Texas fan of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
All right, So please please please mark your calendars. Diane's
what is it? One Strike Challenge Diane's Going Bowling will.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Take place not this Friday, the following Friday, November first,
plenty of time to get your life organized. We will
be at Uptown Alley in mid Lothian right off two
eighty eight and three sixteen.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We start at seven pm. We go, well, it's hard
to say we go.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Either we go until Diane gets one, or if she
gets one quickly then we just go and celebrate. But
either way we are going Friday night, November one, seven pm,
Uptown Alley. Thank you very much to everybody at Uptown
Alley for giving us a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
That's awesome.
Now I told you I had an Elliott in the
morning promotional announcement for you for today, and I am
glad after all this time, it has finally come together
and it will take place not this coming Friday, but
a week from Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We will head to Uptown.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Alley for Diane's bowling challenge. Absolutely, absolutely so. And it's
very simple. It's very simple. All Diane has to do
is bull as strike and then the rest of the
night is great. We're free to do whatever we want.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The problem is if Diane does not bullet strike, we
could be there forever forever.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now, I do know.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
That they like, we'll be there until they close, Diane
if we need to be. And that's really all I
can do for you is to get you a strike
before you go.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I will have no part of it. Nobody will have
any part of it. This is all on Diane to
have to do on her own.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Knowing this was coming today, Diane, as the announcement, did
you fire up the old Wei system to see how
you were doing with that bowling?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I think that's packed away.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
See that's not what I was going to ask.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I was going to ask if you have spent any
time talking to Mike Jones, who does bowl in a league.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Right, No, I mean I should obviously pick his brain.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The how about practice with him?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
So next Sunday mornings aren't good for me.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Next Friday, not this coming Friday. But that's November the first.
That's the other part that weirds me out.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
That it's November.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yes, yes, so November one, we will be at Uptown
Alley in mid Lothian. Uh right off two eighty eight
and three sixty. I believe Diane dons her shoes at Listen.
If things go well, Diane could be done by seven
(02:05):
oh one. Now Dian is renting, she does not own.
They're not her shoes. Someone else will wear them later
that night the and somebody will have worn them previously,
somebody with a really big foot.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
That's if Diane gets a damn strike.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The But that's what I was gonna say. Diane, you
realize all of this could be when I say over,
your part of it could be over at seven oh one, right,
it could be over at seven oh two.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
It could still be going on at.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
One fifteen in the morning. That's up to you. It's
a once right challenge, that's it. All You got to
do is make one strike. Now, if Diane's done at
seven oh two, it's not like we're packing.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Up and leaving.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Oh, then we get to celebrate the strike?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh could you imagine? Oh what do you do? What
is it? What is a I don't know what. What
is a traditional bowling celebrate?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Like something akin to getting a hole in one?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The Oh do you have to buy around for everybody? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I like that? No? No, Like I was gonna say,
do you drink out of your shoe? But not out
of those?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
But also, by the way, everyone who bowls gets strikes.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The it's like a hole in one? What are we
talking about? No?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
No, But is there is no celebration for one strike?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But is there? Is there a traditional bowling drink? You
know how? Like the the one mint.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Jewlip at at at the Kentucky Derby or the what
is it the one eyed Black guyed Susan at Preakness?
Is there a is there? Whoever wins the Indianapolis five
hundred drinks milk? What does the winner do at the
end of like the professional Bowlers Tour, like the guy
who's the champ.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I've never seen one of those ceremonies.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Do I need to have that on standby?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Is it anything outside of the normal beer and nachos?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
The Oh you know I'm eating like crazy at Uptown Alley.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh they have great food. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Absolutely, Now, Dunian, I don't want you to eat anything
that's gonna be messy on the fingers. Can't because those
are gonna be inside. What I'm assuming is a very
clean bowling ball that will have been to put aside
just for you. So again, let me give you the details. Christa,
will you do me a favor? Will you see if
you can find me people who bowl, whether it's in
(04:26):
a league.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
League. Bowling again has become very very big.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Look at the Joneses the okay, not just because of them,
but yes, uh, somebody who is in a bowling league.
I do have one very very important question to ask
for Diane. But somebody who bowls recreationally maybe is in
a league? I need them please eight six six to
Elliott eight six six two three five five four six
(04:51):
eight again, not this coming Friday. Next Friday, we have
plenty of time to plan. Friday, November the first, we
will be at Uptown Alley. We will be there for
Diane's one strike challenge. Y, it's a bowling joke. Yeah,
uh so we will.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Be there for that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Come one, Come on, be there to celebrate Diane either
a as she bowls her.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Have you ever bowled a strike before ever in your life?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I don't know. I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I got when he is the last time you bowled?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
When was the last time? The thing we did was
some forty one?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Are you serious? Probably that's the last time we bowled.
I don't even remember.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Bold or did we do something beyond? Do we do
another one? The some forty one thing? I was a
part timer in promotions, right, So that's twenty plus years ago?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Was that the was there?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Was there one that was more recent?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Though? With a band? No? The last band we went
bowling with was some forty one?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, I think that was it? So or No, you
know what I'm thinking of. Didn't we We had a
smith's party at like are something?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yes, and I don't think we bowld.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
No, we walked in, we got our gift certificates, and
we walked out and went to a sushi dinner.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yes, okay, so you have it bowled in twenty plus years?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Probably? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
What's this what is that saying?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Now, I did take it as an elective in college.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
So it was an easy ad.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
How did you do?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
All I had to do was ace the final? That
if you aced the final, you he didn't take your
bowling average into consideration.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Do you remember what your bowling average was?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Have you ever cracked a hundred? I don't know, Diane,
you would remember if you in college? Did you ever
crack one hundred?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Doubt it? So you think at some forty one you
cracked a hundred.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Will the pressure of the people bother you?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Yes, don't eat heckling? That okay, that's the Second's not gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Help gut her?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Wait, No, I am not doing the woe forevery r
Think of the viral moment when she finally gets.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The wait, can I ask something though?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
At least it won't get annoying bad lane.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know the answer to this.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So in order in order Diane to get the X
to get the strike right, that's the first bowl of
the frame.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I haven't talked to anybody like like behind the scenes
and mechanics at at Uptown Alley are they going to
reset the lane every every time you throw, or does
somebody have to I don't want you to throw.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Do I just go down? Do I go back and
forth between two lanes?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
No, they're not giving us every lane. They're trying to
do a business.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Then it's gonna take a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They gave us an they gave us, and they're gonna
Friday night Halloween, I know.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
And they're gonna have to then they're gonna have to
reset it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But the fact that it's Halloween, I am gonna go nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, it's not the say gabber all the Halloween stuff's
the weekend before. Yes, okay, the night before is Halloween.
You don't think that I'm still gonna have Halloween fun
on Friday, November first.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's gonna be a black absolute Halloween. This is Diane's
going So what's my challenge?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But now I do But here's my question, and I'll
have to get to somebody at Uptown Alley.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So like Diane goes up right and.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
She's gonna do her first her first of could be
one or a million bowls that night.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
She's gonna go up and she's gonna.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, oh, three pins.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We forgot okay you ready.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Oh by the way, if Diane got everything but a
seven to ten, that would be a huge home run.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
It's gonna hate you so much during it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But I don't want Diane to have to throw the
second ball.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You're gonna have to discuss that with them then.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Because that is that's going to hours. If this takes
you five six hours, that is good. Do you know
what your arm is gonna feel like? Forget bowling more.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I already do have shoulder issues.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Ore you gonna have? Wait? Kid? Do you bowl with
your left or your right right?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Does it hurt to do this routine?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
As long as I don't have to lift it in
a bent motion, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay no, because you'll bowl follow.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
That's that's that'll be fine. That's you heard the audio
from out the person playing. Do we need on site cupping?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Pardon me?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So do I need to bring in a physical therapist?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
We can find acupuncturist.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Isn't hoby a uh a acupuncturing?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
He'll just spit dip it. Darth wants to know if
they'll be bumpers up.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, absolutely not good child, There's no bumpers and Diane's
not doing that thing, And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I think it's for what do they call it? Not
duck pen, No, it's what's a better word for this?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
But I don't understand what you're even trying to say.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That ramp that you bowl the ball down, use that too, Yeah,
but don't.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
No, it's I think it's for children's parties.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's also i've seen it for this where there's the
guy in the wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Oh is it I have never seen that before.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, where they like wheel themselves out there, and then
there's like that ramp that they dropped the ball down.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, we're not doing that either.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
The oh I got to strike that was a spare.
She rolled during the wrong part of the frame.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But I want to be able to I want to
be able to just reset the even if we got
to push the button. I don't want you to try
to throw the second ball.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Honestly, no waste of time.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
By by one thirty in the morning, you'll be dead.
Like literally, we'll be picking your arm up off the ground. Oh,
I can't wait next Friday, seven pm. It starts now.
The Can I ask one other technical question which I
haven't asked, you know, like sometimes when people go for
(11:36):
like like like records, where they'll go like you get
and let me finish before we start jumping in, where
the person gets like a five or ten minute break
per hour, no break the well, I think that there
may need to be maybe not every hour. But if
you think I'm gonna stand there drinking and watching Diane
(11:57):
and oh got one pin, like I'm gonna need to
like everybody's gonna need a moment to freshen up, have
a cigarette, get another drink, like we're gonna need We're
gonna need time.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
But if she does it on the first roll, also
stop saying that it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You don't know that, you don't know that.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Take fun.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh if Diane does it on either the first or
the second roll, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
That would be amazing, amaze balls.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Someone else asks if she's allowed to use two hands?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
See now this brings up the question that I had. Okay,
there are people, what is do you know what your
bowling form is?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Excuse me?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Now? Oh that's gonna be the disclaimer and waivery sign?
When when your arm dies?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Where am I going? Like somebody? Line eight? Hi elliot
in the morning. Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
This is Michelle from Richmond.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hey, Michelle, you know we're coming bowling. I heard that
Uptown Alley. Baby, not this Friday, next Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Next Friday, November the first seven pm will be at
Uptown Alley anyway, Yes, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
So I used to work in a bowling alley.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
I waitress the lanes.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
During leagues, right, and I also blowed in leagues.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh hey, so let me ask you. This is there
a way to jimmy it up? And this is somebody
from Uptown Alley will have to be able to answer.
Where like it resets after every throw so that nobody's
got to throw the second ball.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
So you should be able to do it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Depending on how old the lanes are.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
There might be a button that you can manually reset.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, right, or you can do it on the computer screen.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh the computers. Well, I don't know how to operate
the computer screen. Somebody will. There'll be somebody there if
I Hobe knows how to operate the bowling screen. All right,
but we should be able to get that done because
Diane can't bowl for seven eight hours in a stretch.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
No, I don't think so, but yeah, somebody there should
be able to help you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Excellent, excellent, all right, very good, very good, thank you.
Where Where am I going? Mind one? Hi Ellie in
the morning.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
Hi, this is Lisa from mid Lothian.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh, Lisa, Oh my god, we're going to be right
in your neck of the woods next Friday.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Not this coming Friday, but November.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
I live less than five minutes from Uptown Alley.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Is there any chance you'll be coming by to cheer on, Diane.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
I'm actually thinking about it. I'd really love to.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Do that absolutely.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Who may be there league?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Oh yeah, I'm all in the league, probably over twenty
five years now.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Hey, can I ask you this?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And I was talking to Mike Jones, who who works
works here right, and he's he's in a league with
his wife. They're both in some Sunday morning league. It's ridiculous,
but he was. He was saying that his wife, missus Jones,
she's just learning to bowl underhanded, like with her hand
(15:19):
underneath that she normally bowls with her hand like palm
down as opposed to palm up.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Have you ever heard okay, unusual, No, never, that's very unusual.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where where and where do you you're you're currently in
a league.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Where do you bowl? Now? Do you bullet Uptown Alley?
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I Bullet Bowl America Southwest Uptown Alley doesn't have leagues.
They don't boil.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
The lanes.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
They're very dry. I throw a hookball, so on a
dry lane, I could be on the left side and
throw it to the right gutter and it'll still come
back to the left side. So it's it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Do you bomb? You palm up or palm down?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Palm down, definitely, and my hand comes around the.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Ball for the hook like that. Doyan do you? Hey,
thank you. You've been very helpful. Dya do you? That's
why I was asking you don't know what you're bowling it?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
I'm palm up?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
But what if real like awkward? No?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You hold the ball like this right, so this one underneath.
You hold the ball here, and then when you bring
it back, you just fling it, fling it out.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I've seen that before.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I went that's how That's how Jones's wife bawls.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
You keep saying that, but he's not even tuned in anymore.
He's so upset with Diane about what he wrote. Because
you mentioned his Sunday Morning League. Yes, he wrote, these
are all issues we could have been working on at practice, Diane.
But hey, I guess there are more important things to
do on Sunday mornings than become a champion.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
By the way, I would bet what would you do
yesterday morning?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
As an example at East did you really? Oh, you
know what? To get yourself ready? No, just pilates the
why don't you go this coming Sunday? You have one
Sunday between now and when we're there, this coming Sunday.
Why don't you go bowling with Jones at.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Least figure out maybe you maybe you're good on a
hook ball that seems weird.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The let it go, Let it go. Kristen is gone
with the Joneses.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
She got a strike too, didn't she?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That is true? And Diane, so are you? Oh for
haven it?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
How tired? He'll be like.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It in for six hours, Diane.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Thomas wants to know if you have a bowling shirt
and if he were to get you one, would you
wear one that's been personalized as chief quef.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Now, I will say this, I have been working tirelessly
and I should know within the next day or two.
But I believe remember how we got shirts made up
for when the Clydesdale came. We may have bowling shirts
made up in time to be there for Friday.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
T shirts commemorating the event or bowling shirts bowling shirts.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yes, so Thomas don't waste her money?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
The well maybe not? Like, does Diane want a special
shirt or the one that everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Else is wearing when everybody else has you may need
a specialef chief Kleef shirt.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Not since Mama's Merleau has a promotion been so focused
on Diane? Right am? I forgetting something between Oasis Winery
and this?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
No, this is this is it and I'm very excited
for it.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, I mean it is very unusual for Diane to
get this attention.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
What is it gonna be like when when Diane bowls
her strike? You like my optimism? When Diane bowls her
strike and she comes running back from the line and
probably slips on the oil that comes running back from
the line, who's gonna be there to hoist.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Her in the air like a champion.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I envisioned we may carry her out of there, envision
somehow missing it.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
You're gonna be out smoking.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
To the well. That's why I was asked.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
And then you're gonna come in. I'm gonna go. Yeah,
I got my strike.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
They the break is for you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, we all could use the bread.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Thought you were trying to preserve her arm.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I am, But also at the same time, while she's
doing that, I wouldn't mind going outside. I'm gonna be
drinking in a bowling alley. I've got to go out
and have one or two.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
T X.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's all. You're trying to.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Get Diane, one one big X right up on that screen. Hey,
also at uptown Alley? Do they have it where like
I know they have the computers. Do we get to
type in the name?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I'm sure in that standard.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I can't wait to put Diane's up there.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Just and that's it, Diane. That's all I do.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Hope that the eyeballs don't work against her. We're all
supporting you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
What do you mean the eyeballs Probably for the first
couple hours, but I think it will peter out, get boring.
Oh my god, how many.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Where am I going? Kristen? Oh, everybody's everybody's online now?
Hi Ellie in the morning. Hello, Hell yeah, Hi? Who's this? Yes, Mackenzie?
What can I do for you.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Hey, so I have your drink problems called you all
need to drink a white Russian like big Lebowski when
diangas are strong.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oh, great call, Now that'll make me vomb But that
is a great, great call.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That is a fantastic call. You know what, We keep one.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We keep one on ice for you, Diane, because you
don't want that after five hours.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You don't want that milt to kerdle. But that that
is a great call.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It will be a water down sip ycause of the ice.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Let's go lie too, Hi, Elliott the morning? Hell, Hey,
who's this.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Great?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Greg? What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (22:02):
I bowled on several leagues and my best advice to Dieane,
and don't worry about that hook stuff. Those balls are
drilled especially for people to throw a hook, and only
your fingertips go into finger holes. And you want to
get the footing down. You want to end. If she's
right handed, she wants to then end up with her
(22:24):
left foot at the at the line, so her right
leg is not in the way of the ball when
she follows through with their with their swing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Now you lost, Diane, somewhere along the way.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
There the no left foot is that if you're right handed,
doesn't left foot hit the line and then you bowl in.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That right foot kicks No, right foot's at the line.
That left foot that kicks behind you. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
Yeah, if you're if that way the ball, you don't
hit your leg with the ball. But those hook balls,
they're especially drilled.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right now, what about let me ask you this for
Diane paul up, her palm down would be best for her?
Speaker 9 (23:04):
Well, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
Palm down is used with somebody that throws a hook,
so when their hand comes up the side of the ball,
it puts lift on the ball, which creates the spin.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Right, So it really.
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Doesn't make any difference. It's gonna be easier to hold
the ball.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Palm down, paul down is easier to hold the ball, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Because your fingers will be up in the hole and
the back out of your hand down. I'm sorry, not
palm down right?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yea?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
All right? Yeah, I was thinking wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's okay, because Diane's eyes just fell out of her head.
All right, very good, You've been very.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
If she is with a straight ball where she could
just start it, she's right in hand and start at
the right corner of the lane and and hangle it
in towards the center is the best chance to get
a strike.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
There you go. That seem thank you sir, That is true.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You kind of go off a little bit, and but
you don't want to bowl all the way across your
body because then where does.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
It.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Hopefully they got it Plane six.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I was never very good at bullying. The last time
I bold was also with some forty one.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
But my god, people.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I remember though back in the day, I was always
told I had a very pretty trailing leg, like for
my release of course, and now my mom used to say,
I look like a dancer during further parties. So I
can show you how to look nice if you want
form wise at the end of your role.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The yeah, I listen.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I think all feel free to just shout out tips
at Diane tips.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
By the way, now that I think about it, you
know what I got in trouble the last time I bowled,
because I was bowling with I'm trying to remember everybody
that was there, but I know Nicholas back Strom was there,
and Nicholas and I were on the same team, and
I bowled. He bowled a strike, and I ran and
jumped up on him, like like a catcher jumps up
(25:10):
on a pitcher in baseball. And I jumped up and
I wrapped myself around Backstrom, and everybody flipped out like
if you throw his back, you son of a bitch, like.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That was a problem.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Don't worry. Only heard his hip.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Line too, Hi Elliot the morning.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Hi Elliott, Yes, Hi, Who is this?
Speaker 8 (25:37):
This is Denise?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yes, Denise. What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Diane? I would suggest to you that you make sure
your fingernails are trimmed or that's going to become an
issue for you.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Oh why I was keeping kind of short anyway, so
I think I'm no, She's like, like real, real nails,
you're gonna lose them.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well, not only that, do you want to crack your
fingernails and now you're bleeding all over your ball?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
God?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
No, exactly exactly, Diane, Diane, I have complete faith in you, Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Thank you. So that she gets it done before midnight,
that she gets.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It done within an hour. I will bet she gets
it done in an hour.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I'll take that bet. How much? How much I don't
feel both?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Where are you in risk support you look into that.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh great question, great ques, great, great the thank you, ma'am. No,
don't a lot of people. Ballard used to wear one
of those.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
He was a Dorcas brought us a ball the Diane,
would you feel better using such like your own ball?
Speaker 6 (26:43):
I'm just concerned about the weight. I want it to
be as light as possible, like ten pounds, right? Is
that the Is that the the lightest one?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I have no idea, but remember the smaller the ball,
the smaller the finger holes.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, we're going for a strike, Diane.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Okay, yeah, well that's the unsad.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You don't want to throw a feather down there and
it bounce off.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
I think ten is good for me. The last time
I bowled twenty plus years ago, I remember a.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Ten pound ball.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Do you really? How do you remember that?
Speaker 6 (27:11):
I just remember, like having to find one that there
were a glut of thirteen pounds and those were two heavy,
too heavy.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
So for children, they usually roll between six and fourteen
pound balls. What is an adult roll at? A ten
year old's best to use a ten pounds Okay, I'm
going to go with the ten year olds. A male
will typically roll a fourteen to sixteen pound ball.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I think I roll sixteen pound balls.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Women between ten and fourteen?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Ten?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But are they are they even numbered? Like do you
just get like a ten to twelve or fourteen?
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think I've say odd, No you haven't.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think I think you go twelve, Diane, because you
want some umpun.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Let me try with ten and there needs to be
heavy and go life. If there needs to be a
strategy change right, which there will be.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Yes, that's I don't go n The other strategy is
hit the effing pins.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
You can't scream at me.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Line Hi Elliott in the morning, Good morning glass.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
I have a tip for Diane's yes, please, So whenever
I bowl, I do not put my holes or fingers
in the holes.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Well, just roll the ball down, you like, palm the
ball and just throw it.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Correct correct, because if you put your finger in the ball,
it makes the ball change when.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
It leaves your hand. Sure you think she's got that much.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
It's harder, it's harder.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Oh, oh, that.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
That's a good strategy.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's harder with your fingers in there.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Yes, just pull them the ball and roll the ball down.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Honey, I can't palm a bowling ball.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, you can. Absolutely you can.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Okay, I'm not trying to drop it on my foot.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
The well, that's the other thing. I don't want a
lane violation with Diane's big old feet.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Can you imagine that she finally gets the X and
it doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
She'll get that one at seven oh one, and then
the actual strike at two fifteen am.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I'll feel like a Texas fan of garbage.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
All right, So please please please mark your calendars. Diane's
what is it? One Strike Challenge Diane's Going Bowling will.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Take place not this Friday, the following Friday, November first,
plenty of time to get your life organized. We will
be at Uptown Alley in mid Lothian right off two
eighty eight and three sixteen.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We start at seven pm. We go, well, it's hard
to say we go.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Either we go until Diane gets one, or if she
gets one quickly then we just go and celebrate. But
either way we are going Friday night, November one, seven pm,
Uptown Alley. Thank you very much to everybody at Uptown
Alley for giving us a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
That's awesome.
