so we can record shows. Um, and thank you very much. We're
gonna we're gonna do a deep divein you a little bit later. WHOA,
I don't know about all that,don't cover you. I like to

(03:30):
when the show starts, I cansee how how much experience or what everybody's
history is with bowling. So Mollyin a nutshell, like, how long
have you been bowling? How indepth have you been bowling? Um?
Recently, I've been bowling for abouta year and three months. Okay,
But before that we I was ona bowling league that had more of a

(03:52):
drinking problem than a bowling thing.It was a work thing. It was
many many years ago, did ita for a couple of years it was
only a drinking thing. But butI'm having a good time. So you've
taken up another hobby of mine tobe able to spend time with me.
Is that what it kind of blowsdown to. It sounds like it doesn't
it does, damn it. Andmy favorite hobby that you take it up

(04:12):
that I have taken up as drinkingand we're doing great at it. Well,
yeah, it's a good time anythingto spend time with you, Jason.
You're our relationship me and you islonger than two of my marriages,
right, and you seem just asunhappy as those two. I'm not I'm

(04:33):
not pleased with our situation. Iguess we're podcasting buddies. We're good friends.
Some would say, well I amyour best friends, right, like
absolutely, when you finally do getmarried, I will you're not getting married,
I will give the best man's speechbecause I've been preparing for it for
so long. I think there's gonnabe a point where I just have to

(04:54):
get married to appease you, soyou or maybe even put on like a
foe wedding or something just to trickyou so you can come and you give
your little speech and you can finallyget eight hours a shut eye exactly right.
What is your history with bowling?What's your experience? Well, um,
I would say I don't know.Like with soccer, you know in
Europe they have soccer hooligans. Theseare the people are swearing, right,

(05:18):
these are the motherfuckers who are likecausing trouble and breaking bottles overheads. I
don't know if there's a word forthat for bowling. But I am a
bowling hooligan. Okay, step isthere is there punk un bowlers? Yeah?
What is? What do you callsomebody causes trouble in a bowling alley
band? What's that band? Okay? Well, I don't know how to

(05:40):
turn that into talking about me,but what Steph said is what I am.
But I used I used to goevery Thursday night and I think it
still stands as college night at LandmarkBowling. Okay, and that's said Peoria.
And I used to go there withmy friends and we would get kicked
out very regularly for just doing awfulthings things I would never do at the
Sunset Lanes as a bowling A goodanswer, so um, But we went

(06:04):
for probably about two years straight,every almost every Thursday, summer's off.
Sometimes take up two or three fulllanes and just be real grade a assholes.
Mind you. I was like nineteen, It's a lifetime, so much
more mature now. I haven't maturedvery much six months ago. Yeah,
Hey, that's my history of bowling. What's your highest game ever? You

(06:26):
know? Actually I did take abowling class in college Radley. Yeah,
why is it? Hold on?Why is that funny? Well, grahamall
Virginia would tell me all the timehow she took bowling and Bradley and we
were all supposed to know that,right. Yeah, it was such an
insight Okay, No, it waslike one credit hour at ICC and we

(06:46):
had to travel over to the nowu torn down maybe a dollar general.
The town in country bowl On wasa gael and forest hill. I believe
that sound right from here. Iam from here, not Peoria, I'm
from Vecan. It's all the same, it is not anyway. I think

(07:09):
my highest is probably upper one eighties. Okay, that's that's the highest ever,
and I will never reach that again. All right, um, Steph,
you came very prepared for this.Um. I was actually quite honored
when we talked beforehand that not onlydid you wear your little fuzzy things on
your bowling shoes, absolutely, butyou you have a ring on? Do

(07:32):
you have two rings? I havetwo rings? The first one is the
Lord's prayer, right, because youreally want to win? Right? Is
that? Why? No, it'sjust because it's Sunday and every Sunday we
have a bowling prayer, correct,correct? That is so to keep in
lieu of that I wore the ring. Hey, Jason, you're fired,
by the way, and on yourleft hand a listener's right hand, it's

(07:57):
the listener's right hand. But yourleft hand, what are you wearing?
I'm wearing a ring that my brothergave me, which is a three hundred
ring. And why did he giveyou that ring? Because he has about
thirty nine sanctioned and so as honorof that, he gave one to every
member of our family. So thatfitted for you or do you like?
Okay, it is fitted for me. Yeah, he's a professional bowler,

(08:20):
he has not. Wow. Thisis his house, This is where he
grew up, same as I did, and I mean his name's plastered up
there quite a bit. Unfortunately,he can't bowl anymore due to shoulder and
knees. You know, he wasn'tbanned yet give a time, Um,
but yeah, he took bowling veryseriously and so it's an honor that he

(08:43):
gave me one as well. Definitely, So that's why I wore it today,
all right? And what is yourexperience with bowling? How long have
you been bowling? How in depthhave you gotten in bowler? Um?
I have been in all honesty inthis house since I was a toddler.
Really, I grew up when thenursery was here, when my parents bowled

(09:03):
in a league, and then Ihad joined, um, the junior league.
I took several years off because againI didn't take it as seriously as
the rest of my family. UM, and then I came back as adult
league about four years ago, andum, so then it just kind of
came to pass that I bought itafter that. So, okay, well

(09:26):
I'll mark that question out for lateron. It was not, It just
kind of happened. It just kindof circumstances arose just right. Yeah,
yeah, I got down here.Sorry, So no, that's fine.
All right, So let me dothe quote of the day, and then
what all listeners want to hear iseverybody a bowling That's what everybody cares about.
That sounds like an empty glass already. That's never a good sign it

(09:52):
started yet. All right, hereis the quote of the day. One
of the advantages bowling has over golfis that you seldom lose a bowling ball.
And that's from Don Carter. I'dhave no idea who Don Carter is.
I thought he was like a baseball. Is that a goal today to
lose the bowling ball. Now,no, it's just the quote of it.
I make this promise to you,I will lose my ball. So

(10:15):
everybody brought Jason, you even broughtyour own balls, right? Correct?
And where did you get this?I got it um at the Goodwill in
sunny Land and probably two the yearnineteen ninety nine or two thousand. What
are you looking at me like that? Are you? You said something about
Jesus Christ earlier? Can I shouldI not swear in front of you?

(10:35):
Oh? You absolutely find a swear? Okay, what the hell's your problem,
Molly? I don't a problem.I'm just speaking of bowling, Molly
Europe. First, why don't youstep up to the lane and give it
all you got? You're pretty happywith yourself. How am I supposed to
like? Okay, you don't haveto talk after I tell you to bawl.

(10:56):
You don't have you have to screaminto the mic from the alley.
Right, Uh, steph, youbowl here, like I said, you
grew up here? Do you havea favorite lane? Here? A favorite
couple of lanes? No, Ib I suck at all of them,
So it doesn't really matter, allright, What day of the month were
you born on? Would that beyour favorite lane? Okay, so no,

(11:18):
not really. Like I said,I don't like that lane either.
I don't take it seriously enough tohave a favorite or anything like that.
I just don't know seriously enough.But you bought a bowling alley. Yeah,
it's a business opportunity, there's okay, there's a difference. You're here
to make money and have fun.Yeah. I take bowling as a fun
hobby, not as a serious professionas far as bowling itself goes. Now,

(11:43):
the bowling alley is a business,right, and that's different. Molly
is setting herself up for the firstmark of the day. Congratulations, she
picked up. That's fair. Unlikethis morning. No, I'm just you
well, this morning was not good. This morning wasn't good. Now Jason
is up to bowl. He iswearing his sunglasses. You do some stretching,

(12:09):
obviously, and hopefully he I'm notsure what real good. You can't
see what he's doing. It wouldhurt a lot of people from format,
right, I mean, we wouldhave just dropped viewers for sure. For
sure, Yeah, for sure.Uh. Well he's he's wow, good
will he got it? That's agood will. But you know what,

(12:31):
all that work, oh almost gothimself a strike. Uh, Steph,
if you had to if somebody said, hey, why should I take a
bowling, what would you say tohim? Why why should they take a
bowling? Because it's actually very goodexercise. Anyone can do it any age,
any skill level. Um, itis true that you burn more calories

(12:54):
bowling than during sex. Well,I don't know about that. You earn
a lot of calories trained sex.Really, yeah, I don't. Well,
then I'm sorry for your wife,Jason. You you stepped up to
the lane and you gave it aseven and mark. So, Steph,
I've never seen you ball. We'vewe have not. We've been best friends

(13:16):
for a very long time now,of course, like months now, right,
and I've never seen you ball.So you're gonna step up to the
lane. You can't have high expectationshere, and I don't have a routine
like Jason. Right, good luck, then, good luck Jason. How
do you feel about that ball?Oh? About the ball? About my
ball? Yeah, the second throw, Um, I didn't care for it.

(13:37):
I didn't get a gutter ball,but I didn't hit anything either,
sure, which is kind of likea gutter ball. Well, I would
beg to differ. Step started off. That is a five pen that's called
the kingpin. We're all raising ourhands. I'll do it as well,
because I know what if you're goingto get shot, get a shot just

(13:58):
to buy us her shot if shegets it, if she if she misses
it, don't I love to haveshots, So this is perfect for me.
Don't get it. Great vaccination,he's got it. Very good job.
Uh you would have gotten a youknow, like a discounted price,

(14:18):
so you could have missed it justfor sake of missing it. But I
guess I could, or I couldjust be a nice person to say we're
going to do them anyway. Thisis a good opportunity. I think.
To ask about lane oil? Yes, how much is? How much does
lane oil cost? And would youever name a child lane oil? No?
I would never name a child laneoil. Um, And as far

(14:39):
as cost goes, don't really divulgetoo much business. Oh you can't talk
about that, okay? Um?And what quantities is it purchased? And
big drums? I imagine, No, it's it's purchased five gallon okay,
five gallon drums of oil? Okay? I'm sorry, I should I don't.
I don't know business etiquette. Uh, and like to not ask how

(15:01):
much thing? You're fine, that'sjust for the house pattern. We don't
give that. I'm going to askhow old you were and how much you
weigh too? Now, goodness,Molly is very Look at this kid.
It's funny because just the other nightI got to ask that question by a
bowler, what what question? Howmuch? And I was like, you
don't ever ask a lady how muchthey w blake strike it out? Very

(15:26):
good? Switch lanes. Ye,we're alternating lanes because that's the way you
should bowl all the time. Youshould always alternate lanes. That twice the
cost. Huh, isn't that twicethe cost? So I can go to
a bowling alley and say I wantto play two games and demand to play
them frame wise, back and forthat no extra cost. It's called league

(15:48):
play, league play, league play, and it costs me nothing extra as
far as I know, even likeleague play is at a discounted price if
you're a league bowler, it isit? Okay? Interesting? Interesting?
That's so good, steph. Howdid you come to purchase Sunset lanes?
I mean, how did the opportunityarise. Over the course of the last

(16:11):
eight years, I had worked forthe previous owner, JK on and off
during stag tournaments and big events thathe had sure and so just helping out
here and there. And in JanuaryI came back part time for him because
he was down a bartender and neededsomeone he could trust. So I came

(16:33):
in and one day we just gottalking about it, and in all sincerity,
all the stars lined up and Iprayed and got the answer that I
needed to know that I needed todo it. That's awesome. Yeah,
it was just of course of acouple months. That's awesome. Molly.
You bowled your second frame and youleft the tenpin. What do we say

(16:56):
when we leave the tenpin? Fthe ten half the ten pin? Ladies
know kind of the etiquette we havehere whenever somebody bowls the gutter, we
never mentioned it, so like rightnow, but really he knocked some down,
he got he got two pins.It was in the gutter, but
he got two pins because it bouncedout of the gutter and he technically got

(17:18):
three. Um, yeah, thatwas a yeah, Molly. What would
you say is is what do youenjoy most about bowling, like when you're
when you're bowling, why do youOh my god, that was a lot
better. That was a lot better. Good job, Jason, was routine.

(17:41):
There no just bowling or you havedamaged. It's just for bowling.
That was a great That was yourfirst, Mark, Jason. That's great.
First got there first, Mark,Mark Marrin think what well, fast

(19:10):
forgot to like kind of prep stuffon Jason. Oh yeah, well what
do you have to hold on asecond? How do you you go away?
I'll talk to your wife. Whatdo you have you have to prep
people for me? It's not reallya prep. It's just a hey,
there's gonna be this guy named Jason. He's a funny guy. He means
no harm. That's no, that'swhat I would say. I mean,

(19:36):
you gotta just kind of means noharm. He's really a nice guy.
But but she won't say the buttin front of you. That's but he
can say inappropriate things at a moment'snotice, and you just kind of gotta
give it back to him. Buteveryone loves it, as far as I'm
concerned, as far as far asI think everyone loves it. Look at
Blake go that's pretty good. He'sgotten better, much better. It's for

(19:59):
a row called hand and five iswhat double handboe double him. So while
you're up there, Molly called meand she said, I'm an asshole.
No, she knows. She didnot say that. Stephanie. Something you
should know about Jason and Holly andme is I'm hoping to die very soon.
I'm hoping he'll be dead soon.He will be dead soon the way
he lives his life. Well,what I want is for Jason to marry

(20:25):
my wife. I don't know rightI want to do that. I thought,
Molly, he's never getting married.And how can you give the best
man's speech if you're dead. Ijust want him to ta. I just
want him wife. Jason does notneed to take care of my wife.
I can care of your wife andmarrying your wife for two different things.
That's exactly true. He can takecare of me without marry I want him
to take care of her financially,ambiblically. And why has to marry her?

(20:48):
No, he doesn't have to marryme. I don't have to marry
your wife to take care of her. It's not gonna happen. He's got
this girlfriend now, this guy's claws. I'm just kidding. I love her,

(21:33):
two marks in a row, whichI did not expect. I'm going to

sorry, all right, that's incorrect. Molly, you can steal all these
ladies and gentlemens. What is theminimum degree of tilt that a bowling bowling

(24:36):
pin needs to fall? I don'treally think I should answer this question since
it's been sitting on my kitchen counterfor the last week. You know what
I'm gonna I'm gonna give you plusfive points for your honesty. I was
honest too, I gave you that. Okay, what's the answer? Seven
point five seven degrees? No,A little more too. But you said,

(25:00):
did you say eighteen eighteen? Yeah? Okay, eighteen degrees eighteen percent
degrees? Yeah, okay, thatwas my new word. Do you like
it? I really like your newword. Yeah. I can make things
up. I own the place right, I can do what I want.
This is essentially international waters. Thereare no rules in here other than the
ones that you have made. That'sright, which can also change at anytime,

(25:22):
like the point system. Do youhave like it? Do you have
a Bullington commands? I do not? Can? I can I covet my
neighbor's wife in here? It's happeneda lot. So yeah, what's the
turkey say? Yeah? Kind offree rain. What happens at the Bolling
Alley stays at the bull Can Iask her a dirty question? If she
if she blinks twice, you canlook at I'm okay with um. So

(25:48):
I was joking about the ten Commandments, but why you're up there? Like
I love? I love to jokeabout the Bible and anyway they I was.
I was talking about covering each other'swives. There has there been bathroom
covering here that I don't have proofof. And I can tell you the
cell phone tower outside is a knownplace for things to happen. Is it

(26:11):
in a vehicle like under the tower? They pull up beside it or behind
it, and there's the tow Isthere a bowling nice is there like?
Is it guarded or is there ashelter out there or is it No?
That's why they use their vehicles.But it is like you can't openly see

(26:32):
it. So that's the hot spotfor the hot spot. Okay, So
I was going to suggest putting videocameras in the bathrooms. You can't.
That's illegal. Well, yes,you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna go
bowl, probably probably gonna strike youfinish this conversation, but yeah, I'm
not illegal in any way. Whatdid I miss? That's very funny.

(26:53):
I do not want to put camerasin the bathroom. And there's a lot
of things in the bathroom I wouldnot want to see. And by the
way, it's very ironic. Wedid not talk about this beforehand, but
during the fifth frame, I havea news article that the title is man
taking pictures in bowling Alley bathroom.Jason, He's taken selfies ball bowling.

(27:14):
Oh, that's funny. Hat itwas? It blurry good, um,
Stephanie, Jason's like my one ofmy best friends the whole world. And
I did not kind of give youlike a like an overview of him,
just so you know. He's nota jerk. He's just really he's just

(27:37):
really funny. So oh, noworries. He's not offending me in any
way. Oh well, don't tellhim that because I'll try Jason before Stephanie
bowls. Yes, you used thefourth frame as a photo op. I
thought that was part of the rulesof the game. Did I misinterpret it?
You know what? For the creativity, I'm gonna give you twenty five

(27:59):
points, all right, I candig it. I then I wanted to
do a selfie to commemorate this.Can you send it to me? I'll
give you five. What's that I'mgonna take a selfie of you right now?
I don't. I don't know youcan. You can change the rules.
It's just a picture, Jason,She'll change your rules. I think

(28:22):
she's I think she's got it out. Oh is that open? Oh that
was that was more than seven degrees? Come on seven? It wasn't seven
point five degrees that I know?All right? So this is the kingpin?
Yeah, so we raise our hands. So I want to get drunk,
so I will raise my hand.But is it raising your hand mean

(28:44):
me? I want to shot?Yeah, back here till Bill. I
want to get you a shot.Come on, that's the second time.
Man, she does not want tobuy us drinks. Please get us drunk.
I do not want to have tobuy you trink because I want to
do it because I want to,not because I have to. What is
like you could just give it out, which is never a woman said to

(29:06):
me in whatever I want. Remember, I make the rules. That's what
I was saying about the cameras inthe bathroom and changing the definition of selfie.
Okay, you can change the definitionof selfie. Oh you get that,
you can do it. I cando anything, but I'm not putting
cameras in the bathrooms. Where didyou think about some of the things you'll
see? Because I was asking herif there was fornication in the bathrooms and

(29:27):
she says, I don't know.I said, well, you should get
rid if there is. We needto stamp that out by putting cameras in
the bathrooms. But we're going to, you know, talk about that in
the next session. Remember, Okay, that's fine. Well, the next
podcast is all about those things.Will you listen to podcasts? Not yet?
Did you know? Did you knowwhat a podcast was before? Blake

(29:48):
waltzton here? Yes, there's alot of waltzing, doesn't He skips occasionally
to the real skipper. But yousay you never listened to one before?
No? No, I have not, do you? Uh? So what
what do you do when you turninto get in the car? You turn
on the radio? Uh? Sometimesglo? Now are you uh the Wolf
station? Yeah? Country music?Country, Yeah, that's what Molly likes

(30:11):
to, right, Molly, Um, I like that. But Eli listens
to one or six point nine,so he's constantly changing it. Yeah,
one oh six nine light rock.All right. So that's the end of
the five frames, and what's theend of the fourth? Put your glasses
on? All right, Molly?Go ahead? How sorry? I have

(30:33):
noticed in the past about three months, that I can see far away with
my glasses on. Yeah, butI can't see close up with my glasses
on. And so I'm trying tolearn, uh, the art of taking
him off and not looking like anold Well he was an old man.
As a previous guest of this veryprogram, Scott Elam. Sure. I
think he just got us some bifocals, right, Oh yeah, do you

(30:55):
know Scott Elam? I okay,he's the one that ordered French fries during
bowling during a podcast. Well,when you're hungry, you're hungry, right,
so a lot. That's why wecall him Biggie Steph. Your whole
family, you said, was kindof bowling your parents, Yes, and
then my brother they're your brother.Do you remember as a kid coming here?

(31:21):
And oh? Absolutely yeah, evenas a teenager. I mean this
was the place to hang out ona Friday and Saturday night. You would
go to the mall and then youwould head to the bowl and alle,
the mall's gone. So everybody shouldjust come straight to the bolling he should.
But I did hear last night thatseveral people after homecoming came here,
even in their attire and stuff andbold and where were you? I had

(31:44):
the night off? It was aSaturday night. Yeah, and you had
the night off and you own theplace. Yeah, you knew whatever you
want, right, I know.But to be fair, I mean,
I am here seven days a week, so I'm teasing him. Although I
took an evening off, I wasstill here. But I wish I would
have been here for that because thatwould have been amazing. He is so
he got the tenpin out of theway. Yeah, he got a hard

(32:05):
one out, which it was amazing. Good job, Molly, Um,
we bring our son here. AndI do think that bowling is like a
family activity. Yeah you can ifyou're eighty years old. You can still
kind of bowl if you're twelve yearsold. We have bowlers that are pushing
one hundred really, yes, andthey do fantastic. They bowl better than

(32:28):
I do. Makes me feel terrible, Yeah, I would. It would
be difficult to see that, almostas difficult it was for Jason to get
one in a seven. But hadhe had the style, he had style
he had stile. One of thethings I love about him, why is
my friend, is because he hassuch a good style. All Right.
I don't think I've never seen anythingbut a flannel, well flannel, plaid,

(32:53):
flannel, flannel. I don't thinkyou own anything that's not plaid.
Last year I had a did Ihave a change last year where I was
just wearing sweaters? Yeah, youwere doing a sweater thing? Where were
you? Where were you? Theentirety of last year. You must not
have been talking to me. Yeah, I probably wasn't talking to you.
Probably not because you won't marry me. Look at this broad hoos didn't stand

(33:16):
a chance, says enough messing around. I don't want Blake to win.
That's a weird graphic. Was thatbigfoot stomping on the pins? That was?
Do you call him bigfoot or doyou call him the yetti? I
don't act, which is cooler atall. He's kind of a dick,
so I don't call I've never met. Did you not see him squitch those

(33:37):
pins? I don't know that.Yeah, it wasn't just the tin pin,
you know what? It was justthe ten the dick moved joke.
You both said at the same time. I'm gonna give you both ten points
for the dick sasquatch. Look atus, all right, step up to
the lane and give it all yougood? Okay? Look at him he's

(33:59):
got a Look at all this shithe goes through. He's got a bag
of powder and he wipes his balldown. He wants to buy another ball.
I don't know. I'm embarrassed forhim. This is ridiculous. He
wants to buy another ball, Imean balls does he have already? Um,
well I had. I had aball when I was three years old.
I don't know if fort seems liketoo many to me. Yea who's

(34:21):
got four balls, but he wantsto get rid of one. He has
his name on his shirt. Thatwas our Christmas present. Great job.
Maybe I should start doing a bunchof weird shit to my hands and balls,
and maybe I would be a betterbawls the fifth. Oh yeah,
we're okay, so now we cando it all right? Hey, Steph,

(34:44):
your first podcast. You're doing greatbecause you're reminded me of what I
needed to do. So this iscalled weird news in bowling. And I
searched the internet to find I'm outof breath. I was joking when I
was out of breath. I'm Saiout of breath. So I found a
news article. Thank god I have. Man faces fifty felony counts for filming

(35:08):
men urinating in wood Haven Bowling Alleybathroom. He faces twenty five counts of
voyeurism and computer crimes. Do youwant to read this year? Want me
to read it? Oh? Goahead, I'm sorry. No, I
was gonna say, do you wantto read it? Because I wood Haven,

(35:28):
Michigan. A man is facing fiftyfelony counts for allegedly recording numerous men
with his cell phone while they urinatedin the bathroom of a bowling alley.
Michigan State Police arrested thirty six yearold Ryan Dustin and Monroe on Wednesday morning.

(35:49):
Authorities say back in December, aman called the police to report another
man had been taking photos and videosof him while urinating in the bathroom ed
with Haven Lane's. Police located himand seized his phone back in the winter,
and a forensic examination of the phoneshowed listen to this more than one
hundred and fifty video clips of variousmen using the restroom at the bowling Alley.

(36:15):
Police have tried to contact him repeatedlyafter his phone and has has been
seized and an attempts to interview him. If you if you see somebody's phone,
you can't reach him. You can'tyou come on, Michigan police.
Don't think if they have like atrace of where he lives. Don't they
have a record of his address?Right? If you if you, if

(36:36):
you're the police and you take somebody'sphone from them, you should probably just
get their address yeah, get hisidea right, the police you should already
know their address. There you go. It sounds like a street justice thing
to me, though. If you'rein the bathroom and you got a guy
peeking over the stall with a camerataking a picture of your tally whacker,
don't you go out and you geta posse of your guys and you go
in there and you beat the livinghell from him, right, Because if

(36:58):
you're in a bowling alley, youprobably have a posse with you're running with
at least three other guys. Um. He was arraigned in thirty third District
Court Wednesday on fifty felony counts,twenty five counts each of oyurism and computer
crimes, which are both four yearfelonies. He was reported probably a former

(37:19):
employee of the poker room at thebowling alley. When do you get the
poker room stuff? Oh, verysoon. It sounds like you should put
a video camera there getting the pokerroom. His arrest comes. You're it
sound dirty though, similar bathroom incidentwhich a tiny camera was found inside a
Starbucks bathroom in Allen Park. Thisis why you don't put cameras in bathrooms.

(37:42):
I don't want to see anything dirtyunless I see it and then you
put a stop to We're talking aboutstopping fornication in your bowling alley. It
just doesn't sound like something you'd wantto stop. Why, I mean you
personally? Yeah, Like, whyaren't you rallying for this? I don't.
I don't want there to be fornicationany This is this is obstensial house
of God. Okay, I don'tdisagree. Like it's a family fund center,

(38:04):
but if your family starts here,I can't help that. One thousand
points for Steff on that one,and Molly's going to step up to the
lane and give it all she's got. Oooh, that was a big one.
Steff. You might win this.I don't know. You might win
this if we ask for points whenwe get points or Jason, you asked

(38:25):
nicely, I'll give you one.Oh, thank you, no problem,
Steph. What's your jersey that you'rewearing today? It is actually from when
I was in the US Nationals inReno. So you were at the US
Nationals. So you you you area good bowler. No, I just
win. You went as a likethe team, it's a voyeur. We

(38:46):
did the women's team. Event,I did doubles with my dad and singles
on my own. Okay, soand then so my dad and I have
matching shirts from how did you dothere? Oh? Not well at all?
No, because we were in Renoand I'd never been. But yeah,
I've never been to Reno. Butif you've never been to Nationals,
that was my first times intense,right, it was overwhelming. It's very

(39:08):
overwhelming, and it's really neat becausethey walk you out like you're some kind
of professional even when you're not.You know, so it makes you feel
really important. Um. But everybody, even like some of the really top
bowlers, do not do well thosetournaments. I never do well under pressure
either. No, Like right now, I have four strikes at a spare

(39:31):
and today I barely broke one eightythree right during league because I get I
get worked up. I don't evenknow if it's that out there because there's
so many different sessions. So Imean, there's probably what eight or nine
weeks of sessions, so everybody goesat different times because it's from all over
the US, right, um,but it's just such this experience is the

(39:54):
best way, I mean, thewhole thing. If you've never gone take
an opportunity any one year ago?You know what? Can I put it
in perspective? The first time Imet Molly, I felt the same way.
Oh, look at you. Ireally wish I knew what you were.
Guys were talking about. Jason's tryingto pick up a pin here,

(40:14):
he's got one to go. He'sbobbing and weaving stuff. It's kind of
uncomfortable to bowl after him, right, it's just weird. Yeah, it's
so awkward. One of the thingsthat we don't talk about on this show
is gutter boss. We don't evertalk about that, right, don't bring
it up, you know if somebodybecause we don't. We're not trying to
break people down absolutely right, speakingof build them up stuff, get up

(40:38):
there and give it all you got. Can I get rid of this chair?
Yeah? I'd love to. Oh, I want to go to the
Nevada and bowl and something important.Stuff is up. Oh and that's a
split that is not good. Uh, you know what, and it's it's

(41:05):
it's horrible to see such a badthing happened to such a nice lady to
us here at guys in a bowlingalley, Molly, what would you do
here? I would have hit theone on the right, hoping it was
screwed over and hit the one onthe left. All right, well here
we go. I would scream atthem just doing the exact composition. Touchdown.

(41:28):
That's a tough one in the Inthe NFL, you would have got
three points for that, So I'mgonna give you three points, thank you.
Is that just called a split oris there because like, certain configurations
have certain names, right, well, seven ten, but that was not
that. Seven ten is like oneof the most difficult ones to pick up.
Is there one called stone Church orsomething like that? Not that I'm

(41:51):
aware of. Are there you knowthe weird names? I thought that years
ago? No, okay, didyou learn these names from the bowling alley
you banned from? Um? YesI did, so maybe your buddies were
just stoned and making shit up asyou. Then we did go to church
right afterwards. Yeah, that couldhave been it, guys, nail on,
there he goes and another strike.Get him say at this point about

(42:19):
it. It's a good thing hecannot get points right. Well, later
we can ask for some of hispoints. Yeah, hopefully he will give
them to us. Honey, areyou going to share your points. I'm
not gonna share all my points,but I'm gonna give each of you a
chance at a trivia question. Ohright now, right now is after the
sixth round? Oh, this isafter the six rounds, so we actually
have to play rapid fire questions.Steph, you are our guest. Great,

(42:45):
We're going to Jason. Do youhave a stop? Watch it?
With twenty seconds? Um? Steph, here's the rules. I'm going to
give you as many questions as youcan answer in twenty seconds. Okay,
and when my friend here is readya right? So heard the clock?
That no pressure? There your mark? First thing that comes to mind already,

(43:07):
which is your spirit animal? Wolf? All right? What is the
highest game you ever bowled? Two? Um? BDSM or am A MSR?
I have no idea what either?Is that? All right? Which
is better looking me or Jason?Yeah? Thank god? Do you have
a pet and what's its name?No? My pet? Pass? Oh,

(43:29):
I'm so sorry about your pet,asshole. You know that was a
jerk move. Well that was youknow what jerk move? Was him trying
to compare our looks. Obviously I'mbetter looking than him. Steph, you
have to always go with the host. What was the probably twenty three and
a half points for you. Stephdid a great job, Molly. Would

(43:51):
you like to take a chance atRapid Fire as well? Are there different
questions? What was your different question? Dog? She was fifteen? Wow,
that's that's pretty good. Yeah.What kind of dog was it?
Blue tick healer? What is it? Blue tick healer, blue tick healer
hound dog? Right? Never,No, she's like a It looks like
a smaller version of a German shepherd. Huh. I am genuinely sorry about

(44:14):
it. I was just sore becauseobviously, again I am much better looking
than Blake, but we can't saythat when he's the one asking the question.
You know what? She plays thegame twenty second? Molly? Do
you ever watch bowling on TV?Yes? Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga Taylor
Swift. One word to describe yourbowling style horrible vanilla ice or Milli Vanilli

(44:37):
Vanilli. And a favorite dating appTinder? And a favorite movie um,
oh shit, the one with BruceWillis and uh oh sorry you've ran at
time the next one I knew youwere going to get right, And who's
better looking? U Blake or StephBakersfie Stephanie. Oh, all right,

(45:00):
see how that feel. I'll giveyou all right, mole, get us
into the seventh frame. This is, uh, this is where you normally
stretch. I think in bowling isin the seventh like the pledge of allegiance
or something too. Why didn't wewe have a flag? Oh? Say,
can use Oh? I think thatis actually all right? All right,

(45:22):
we got a little stretch in normallythis is where I opened up.
Jason started the game stretching. Enoughfor all he stretches every frame. I'm
always stretching. Should I Should Iplay? Take me out to the ball
game? Sure? All right,let me find it here? Um,
Steph, are you having a goodtime? I am worse than you expected,
or better than you expected, orjust about the same as you expect

(45:43):
better. Vicky, there it is. That's my wife. Hold on,
hold on. At so we went. We we both bowled in the Moose
Tournament. I bowled in the men'sMoose tournament and she bowled in the women's

(46:05):
And when, um, when sheshe was doing very well, and uh,
every time she would get a strike, I'd be like, that's my
wife, really loud, because Iwas very proud of her, and everybody
got everybody, Oh, everybody gotcompletely annoyed by it. So now I
do it and they all give mea dirty look. But now they're doing

(46:28):
it in the background. You madesome money, you you cashed out?
What did you cash out of?The bowling the Moose tournament? Second?
Singles and singles? She got second? It was like, how much like
forty some dollars? Yes, that'sawesome though seconds really well, yeah,
I was. Do you want toask her how I did stuff? You
want to ask how I did?Oh? Yeah, how did Blake do?
I don't remember Blake? How didyou do? I think we got

(46:50):
a second in doubles and uh,I did really bad in singles And that
was my first ever clean game.Right my, I'm gonna go bowl no
not steps from a little bow.All right, Well, then we'll tell
the story when you get back.That's one of the things about being a
host, being the host and um, spaceballs space be out to the ball

(47:13):
game. Steph is trying to bounceback from that open frame she had and
that's oh, I've been there.That's seven pin. It's the wicked.
Yeah, you can say, youcan say f whatever whatever on a shirt.
We'll put it whatever on a shirt. The T Shirt House and Peekan
Illinois. Know how much is itcost to buy a press like a T

(47:38):
shirt press? Yeah, I don'tknow. I think we should get one
so we can make as many uhT shirts that we want. That was
a great shot. Good join,very hard, good job. Um.
Oh, I'm gonna bowl and thenwe're gonna tell the story about the my

(47:58):
my my first clean game. Actually, Molly, why don't you tell the
story about my first clean game atthe Moose we went on the trip out
of town. You bought something,you're telling the story right now. You
bought something specific because you said you'regonna bowl your first I don't even remember.
Was it that much of a drunkendebacco? Oh? I did well?

(48:20):
No, Actually I didn't buy thebottle, but we had had a
bottle of champagne in the in therefrigerator for I think it was like Christmas
or something like that. That wasin So I'm like, you know what,
And we don't get to go out. We don't go away for the
weekends very often, so trips likethat are nice, you know, it's
a nice, little fun weekend.Yeah, so I took it with me
and it just so happened. I'mlike, look what I brought, because

(48:43):
I know you're gonna before Blake getsback real quick. Did you get lucky
that weekend? Believe you're gonna wantto high five that a couple of times.
You believe, so you should rememberfor sure. I never just say
yes, yes, you had champagne. Yes, yes, she got because
he was on a high, nomatter what, right, yes, exactly,

(49:05):
And he's a guy, so technicallyhe got by Yeah duh, he
married you. Yeah yeah, ohboy, Blake, he did not knock
him all down that time. He'sgot to be furious. He's in his
own head now pick up and goodwell at least, yeah, so good
job he did it so far.Currently he's he's got a clean game.

(49:28):
He just left hanging boom. Welldone, she told us. Basically the
story turned out. It's just thatyou guys fornicated, and Steff said,
I wish I had my cameras there. So she bought this, as she
said, I'm gonna take it withus because you're gonna bowl your first clean
game, which put a lot ofpressure on me. I did bowl it.

(49:50):
I was very excited about the factthat we're gonna have this champagne together.
Uh. Then we went to themoose and I got drunk, and
then we went to the boat andI got drunk her, and then I
got back to the hotel room.We open it up and we got to
fight. Okay, so this storywas totally wrong. She wasn't sure honestly
whether you guys, but you theman, I think stuff. You called
it, right, am I takingliberties calling you stuff? No, you're

(50:12):
fine this it wasn't good champagne,but it wasn't. It wasn't a good
atmosphere. Okay, Yeah, weall like that. We're in the eighth
eighth inning. Yeah, wow,eight percent time it goes fast? Right,
he doesn't seem like frame. Iknow it was all right, take

(50:32):
it forever. What are you tryingto say? You're not enjoying our company?
I love your company. I feellike these lanes are longer than they
should be. These regulation lanes are, of course they are. They're certified
every year. You have to measurethem every year. We do have to
get absolutely oh to be sanctioned.Right, Um, Jason's gonna party for

(50:54):
a little bit. Steph, youhave considerable extra points here. Um,
I'm gonna give you a tribute questionhere. In ten pin bowling, what
pin is commonly referred to as thekingpin? Five? Oh, wow,
you're on top of things. Youget an extra five points for that,
Molly. This question is for seventyeight points. The pins are set up

(51:20):
in a triangle and by USBC meetthe specific requirements of a bowling pin.
What is the required weight of abowling pin? Height required height of a
bowling pin? Sixteen inches? It'sfifteen inches. I'm gonna have to docu
three points for that. Um.Jason left an open frame. Let's take

(51:42):
away seven of his points, don'tyou dare? Those are my shoes if
you're going to do that there?Well, yeah, exactly, you got
your good will all the time,right, he's actually a CEO alright,

(52:04):
Steph is in the eighth year.Wow, she laid it up there the
same the same as me. That'sthe same leaves me. That's the same
leave I had last time. It'sthe same leave we've all had. She
except Molly. She she may makemine last time too. I think I
think she's trying to like copy youin a way. She's mirroring me.

(52:27):
All right, guys, are wehaving a good time, having a great
time, having a great time.It's a very comfortable atmosphere, and there
was no stress whatsoever. She shehad was fully confident. Well done,
Molly, well done. How muchof bowling is physical and how much is

(52:47):
mental? One hundred percent level?Go, What do you mean a hundred
percent level? I mean it's it'sI think it's mainly. I think it's
mainly a mental thing. But Imean your wrist starts hurting after what Jason,
percentage of mental, percentage of physicalfor bowling two percent, perspiration ninety

(53:08):
eight percent respiration steph mental physical,which is more important? I think your
mental is more important than That's whyI'm no good a bowling. Yeah,
he's a maniac. He's a he'sa really good bowler, actually, but
you're getting your own head exactly.He gets five strikes so far in two
spears. That's very I can't Idon't think I've ever had that happen in

(53:29):
a game. Well, maybe you'renot stretching properly. I'm also very weak.
I don't know if that myth playsinto it at all. Very weak
arms. I think part of itis because your drink's been out since before
we started. And yeah, that'sa problem. I'm really off put,
Like for the the what do youwhat do you call the area before the

(53:50):
alley the approach. Okay, solike I'm usually I'm used to stepping up
like two inches, so I keepgoing up there like I'm going to take
a step, But then there wasno step. Right. We left them
this way so that they would behandicap accessible. Smart, very smart,
And that's a really good point.When Eli had his surgeries, we could

(54:12):
he could come here, and wecould he could come and and and we
had no issues. And right,he even took a scooter up there a
couple of times and was just withthere with the scooter. And we have
people that bowl directly from their wheelchairsand walkers and all of that because they're
able to you know, they comedown the little ramp this way and then
they go to their lane and thenthey're able to steal bowl. So that's
why I said, it's it's foreveryone, no matter what your physical capabilities

(54:37):
or your age or anything like that. Yep, that's smart. So I
just have to get used to it. I'm so used to stepping up,
but this, you're right, itis accessible to say, that's where it
goes back to the mental part ofit. You're right, and you are
mental metal health will drive me mad, so said quiet right, Stefan.
What's your favorite heavy metal band ever? Oh, I'm not a Goodness sugar

(55:00):
Bell, bib Devo. Oh that'sa good one. I don't know,
probably rat. What's your what's yourfavorite kind of music? My favorite kind
of music now is country, ButI love eighties music too. Uh like
rock metal, poison and okay?Oh yeah, like hair bands, yeah

oh he needed directly on the headpin. How did that happen? Okay,

(56:12):
now it's getting dirty, all right. She was gonna get your picture,
but yeah, it was a greatpicture. And then he turned it into
something. Yeah. Wow, thatwas your first strike, Jason. How
about how about feeling one hundred andfifteen points? It sounds great? Thank

(56:35):
you? All right? Feel realgood about that, guys. All right,
Stef is on again, and sheis Oh and the ten pin wiggles
wobbles but won't fall down. It'syeah, it was not seven point five
percent, but you can pick thisup, Steff. I believe in you.

(56:55):
Guys. We're getting ready for thetenth frame. And the tenth frame
is probably myth most difficult frame becausethere's three well, because you have the
potential for three, and that's whereyou either make it or break it.
Would you usually make it? Ordo you usually break it? I usually
break it? Three? Four?Three to four? Not too shabby.

(57:16):
You know what you miss? Youmiss one hundred percent of the pins that
you don't throw at I guess that'sright. I don't know that's encouraging.
I don't know him to be amath a magician, but I'm not even
gonna try to wrap my head aroundthat he's working on a couple. You
haven't had enough to drink to wrapyour head around that. I want I

(57:37):
would like some more to drink.The bartender is right behind you. Well,
I don't want to leave the mictoo. I can take the mic
with me. No, I hada rum, rum and coke, Thank
you very much. I don't knowyet. Look at him go, you
can sew in his head now.She's not gonna spike it, right,

(57:58):
She's not gonna put a ruffie up. She's not gonna put a qualut in
there? Is she? If you'relucky? Oh, the one thing that
we do before the tenth frame rightnow? And I didn't do this.
We we did have some fan feedbackand some people listen to the show and
they said, hey, you shouldupdate and tell us the scores more.

(58:20):
And I didn't do that at allthis whole time. So right when you
think of your fans, uh,hey, if you download the show,
you're great. Right now, Mollyyou're sitting at a one oh eight,
all right, one oh eight forMolly, I'm out of breath. It's
hard to bowl. And Jason you'reat a ninety four potentially higher. All

(58:46):
right. Um, Steph you're sittingat a one thirty five, which is
a lot better than either two ofthem, and mine is is irrelevant.
It doesn't matter. But what whatare you at though? And you tell
us or not? Right now?I'm at a one ninety four and had
the tenth frame. So but wewant to talk about it because they'll jinks
me. We have the potential toget three hundred at this point still right,

(59:07):
No, no, no, okay, I don't know that. I
don't know the game of bowling verywell. All right, So this is
final jeopardy. Okay, okay.You can wager any amount of points that
you want from your score, andif you mark, you get that amount
of points. What does that mean? Mark? So mark marrin strike strike,

(59:30):
So Molly, you have eight ninetyfour ninety eight points right now?
Yeah? If do you? Ifyou have confidence that you will mark on
this next frame, how many pointswould you like to? Oh? Real,
mature? All right, we'll stepup to the lane and give it
all. You got. What adirty bird you married? I'm actually kind

(59:52):
of jealous. That sounds pretty well. You know how much it cost No,
no, no to find it alreadyburned to marry. She's on the
wrong lane. But that's okay.We're gonna have remove overslustered. Now we
got home, said, we gotget home? Yeah, as soon as

(01:00:14):
I said we got get home,she goes, it's just a joke.
So well that's out the window.Yeah, you know, she said she
brought it up and then oh threwit away. It happens a lot.
Oh no, it's fine, it'sfine. She's not gonna pick that up.
Whoa, she sends you good vibes. She sent you good vibes.

(01:00:36):
Yeah, Moll, you can doit. I believe in you. See
get that sixty nine points you wantso much. I mean, if you're
gonna have to take care of her, you might want to be a little
more encouraging. Well, my strategywith women, and it's worked so far
for me, is to break themdown physically and mentally, only to build
them back up in my own image, not unlike the US military. So
you're single. Oh she did notpull it, but she ended up with

(01:01:04):
a one one twenty. Let meadd up your other points. I insinuated
that you were single because of yourthank you. I will I will wager
all of my points plus sixty nineone, all ninety four points. All
right, Jason is in it towin it, Molly. That's that was

(01:01:28):
a good game. One twenty isa good game. It is a good
games with all the chaos. We'vegot some chaos going on. So you
know your fan club is thrown youa gentleman. He wagered all his points
and got a strike. Look athim four plus ninety four. Wow,
you get two more balls high?He can get his leg up. Yeah.

(01:01:49):
I've never been able to put myleg up that high before in my
life. It's crazy. Steph.You're looking at your score right now.
You're sitting pretty You're sitting pretty goodscore wise. Plus you get a little
bank here. Are you gonna wageranything? You think? I don't know.
Oh, and he left the fivepins, so we raise our hand.

(01:02:10):
Quote he even though I get freedrinks, it's nice when somebody else
buys them. He waged, hewager all of his points, picked up
the strike. Yeah, and hadthe potential for a phenomenal game. And
now he's gonna have to buy peopleshots. Now he's gonna buy shots.

(01:02:32):
Oh, Jason pressure three. Allright, Steph, you have right now
one hundred and thirty five points.How many would you like to wager?
Um? You know you're old.She is going up to bat good,
she's going up to bat with thebig boys. What girls what kind of

(01:02:52):
shots everyone want? No, Idon't worry by Its fine, we'll do
off Mike. We'll just do shotson Mike. Wait, hold on.
Oh and she lost one hundred andthirty Oh no, sheep, she'll pow.
She's got it. Wow. Sheis our she is our only sponsor,

(01:03:15):
and I really should be nicer toour only sponsor. By Jason,
I am amazed that you bowled toone thirty two. Baby, I'm amazed
by you. She's got this shitright. Oh, she picked it up.
I apologize. You know what,I'll tell you what? Negative one
hundred and fifty thousand points for mebecause I messed up? All right,

(01:03:36):
that's of no consequence in my life. They count it's mental. Wow.
Um, when she gets back,Molly, will you give me a favor
and ask her to talk about herball? Ball? She has ball she's
using. Let's see what we gothere. She finished, great finish,

(01:03:59):
great finish. She bet all herpoints. She had one hundred and thirty
five, and now she ends upwith one fifty five. And after I
bowl, we'll go through the totalsand the trophy presentation. Are we pausing
here? Okay? These graphics arewild up here. I just saw one.
It was a big pink bronosaurus that'ssupposed to be like a bowling pin.

(01:04:20):
And then a giant eyeball came inand squashed all the dinosaurs that were
like bowling pins. And the bloodgreen blood? Have you seen that one?
Are you still smoking dope and thengoing to church after these things?
I mean, I'm not I'm judgingthat. Maybe maybe I am high,
Maybe it's the glasses. I don'tknow. I'm just saying, like,
I'm not here to judge. Thisis my bowling persona. Okay, damn,

(01:04:43):
look at him. Goodness. Justhad to make sure you beat everyone.
He's very competitive. That's the onlyway him and I are different.
We're like in every single other way. I think Molly disagrees with that.
Are we exactly the same? No? No, no, who's more handsome?

(01:05:04):
You are? I was gonna throwme in there, but it's odd
that you would. Definitely. Iwon't tell Blake. He said that.
No, it's okay, he wouldexpect me that very Oh boys, kicking
himself for that. You got it, you got got this. You left
the two pins on the left,which are called the four seven the forty

(01:05:28):
seven. Now technically if he doesn'tpick this up, is it still a
clean game? No, because hehad read something online a while back about
what a clean game was. Hasnothing to do with hygiene though, No,
no, no, interesting. Hemakes his approach, nothing fancy about

(01:05:50):
it. He's got a good forum. Got into his head. We don't
talk about into his head. Thefinal, the final, he's still kicked
all of our asses. So lyeah, up and down the lane,
guys, money, If I wouldn'thave thrown that strike on the first one

(01:06:12):
right then I would have had abetter chance of the clean air I did.
But that doesn't matter because we're nothere to discuss me. We're here
to discuss my friends who have hungout with me. In bold the final
score regular score, Molly had onehundred and twenty, Jason with a one
thirty two, Steph with a onefifty five killing it and the tenth frame,

(01:06:33):
and me with a two thirty chokein on the tenth frame. What
do you do usually? Let mego ahead and end up his scores here?
Do you think he's gonna win?Guys? All right? Definitely me.
