Ripping The Rack Podcast

Welcome to the longest running, bi weekly episodic podcast around Candlepin Bowling and other topics! Once again the guys swerve around the world of bowling while discussing other topics, including a serious 20+ minute long discussion about mental health, suicide awareness, depression, and yes they try to tie it into bowling, etc..   

Ultimately, the guys would like you all to know that the United States has started 988 which is the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. As Brian so put it, it's ok to not be ok and this lifeline is there for you to seek help and talk to someone. You can text, call, even go online and chat with someone if you are in crisis and feel like there is no way out. Depression and mental health is real and a lot of times it's the hidden demon that someone is facing which makes it difficult to see. Be kind to one another, cheer each other on, and be there for one another.

Welcome to a very special episode of Ripping The Rack Podcast, the longest running bi-weekly podcast with a focus on Candlepin Bowling. Episode 99 was a tough episode to complete as we focused on the passing of one of the greatest the game has ever seen. Charlie Milan was larger than life and he was one of a kind. He lived life on his terms for 86 years until cancer finally took him home to be with his beloved wife, Marie. Charlie was arguably the best this game has ever seen, but more importantly was his impact on the game here in the State of Maine. He was a tireless promoter of the game and his accomplishments are too numerous to list. And he will be missed, tremendously.  

To his children, Charles IV, James, Dawn, and John.. we can only thank you for sharing your father with all of us in the candlepin world. Charlie, we love you, we miss you, and we thank you for everything!

Welcome to Ripping The Rack Podcast. We are the longest running, bi weekly podcast mostly about the great game of Candlepin Bowling (But we do veer off topic quite a bit) on the internet and we are happy you have found us! In today's episode (episode 98 for those still keeping score at home) the guys discuss some upcoming tournaments, mixed in with some Mixed Worlds stuff, with a couple of questions, and back to Mixed Worlds stuff, before Brian finishes it off discussing his trip to Denver and the Rocky Mountain Pro event he went out for.   

At the same time, the guys MOSTLY stayed on the right path, but occasionally veered off the side.. Before the ship would get righted again, until the very end when the rails were removed and we may have lost Calvin.

And yes, we know the first 6+ minutes were a little bit unorthodox or off the rails or just plain stupid, but Tim was being Tim and we all know that Tim is a little bit of an idiot. And for the record, before the IRS, FBI, CIA, ISS, ABC, NBC, etc... come looking for Tim, no he does not believe in state sponsored removal of dictators, etc... Want to know what it's about? Listen to the program!
