On The Gutter

This week welcome back PBA Tour Commissioner Tom Clark to the show! We discuss the overall 2024 season and some key points from the year. We then take a look at the changes coming to the PBA Tour in 2025. Tom answers some questions everyone has been wondering including the changes to the PBA Elite League. The boys also discuss which players have individually changed the game of bowling! 

This week we have a discussion that we've wanted to for a while. As competitive bowlers, is bowling league good or bad? We discuss why we think bowlers get false hope when it comes to league bowling and how beneficial league bowling is for people who truly want to be competitive. 

This week we are joined by Brandon and Justin Bohn! The sons of PBA Hall of Fame member Parker Bohn. I sit down and speak with both Justin and Brandon about their own career and goals for their bowling career. They talk about what is has been like to grow up in such an iconic family and what bowling truly means to them. Jamison and DJ discuss the INSANE changes coming to the PBA season mostly highlighting the change of the PBA Elite League. There will no longer be PBA teams but it has now changed to the Battle of the Brands.

This week we have one topic to discuss after our weekend recaps and it is brought to us by the USBC. They have announced new rule changes for the Open Championships in 2026.. are these good or bad? Will the money help drive interest? 

This week we are joined by PBA LBC National Championship Clash Champion Gianna Brandolino. I sit down and discuss her win at the LBC Championship and the success that she has already achieved. We also discuss some bowlers both past and present who had an amazing youth careers... who do you think did? 

This week we have a lot to unpack. First we have a weekend recap including the incredible win by Gianna Brandolino at the PBA LBC National Championship Clash for 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS! We take a look at the smart money situation and how some people thought it was setup? Then we discuss the brand new Klein Vegas Scratch Challenge. This brand new tournament brings back days of the High Roller in Vegas and some rules have flustered some people... are they too strict? Or do they make sense?! 

This week the guys sit down and discuss a few different topics. There was a lot of regionals to cover and other tournaments. We take a look at the most marketable people on the professional bowling side and what makes a pro bowler more marketable to bigger companies. We also take a look into bowlers who we think should have stayed on tour longer? Mike Fagan, Scott Norton, Jesse Buss.. someone else? 

This week's episode is FULL of PBA Elite league talk. What we think they did well, what we wish they would improve and the overall results. Surprises from Belmo, Andrew Anderson named MVP and much more! We also discuss who we would pick for our own PBA Elite league team and want to know who you would choose.
