On this edition of Straight Up 5, we welcome Todd McGill to the show! Here's his bio : I’ve been around bowling my whole life—growing up at Colerain Bowl, watching my dad and twin brother, and picking up the ball myself at 14. I quickly fell in love with the game, competing in youth leagues and even setting records—like being the first youth bowler in Ohio to average over 200. Bowling carried me through adulthood with perfect games, 800 series, and managing lanes—but life threw some challenges my way. Moving away, struggling with alcohol, anxiety, and stepping away from the sport tested me—but I found my way back home, and back to the game I love. I started the Sunday Sweeper at Northwest Lanes, built it into a city-wide event, launched TMT Bowling, and grew a community around the sport. Even when Colerain Bowl closed, new opportunities came with Bowlifi and becoming GM at Gilmore Lanes. Along the way, I was honored with the Sam Levine Memorial Award and inducted into the Greater Cincinnati Bowling Hall of Fame. Today, I still run tournaments, support the bowling community, and—even after health challenges—I’m back practicing, back enjoying the game, and sharing it with the people who make it so special. Bowling has always been, and will always be, my second home.

On this edition of Straight Up 5, We welcome the founder of BowlU Rick Benoit! Here's his vision : "A brighter future can only be had if we are willing to turn on the lights" ... What I mean by that is we need to take a closer look at where we are at and what we are doing. If what we see when we turn on those lights is flawed ... We cannot be afraid to handle the tough questions and challenges. I promise I will not shy away from your questions and challenges. "The big picture is a puzzle ... and the beauty of the big picture can not be seen until all the pieces to the puzzle are in place". BowlU has spent years looking at all of the pieces to the puzzle and we want to Show How They Can Fit Together." "Turning a ship floating in rough waters requires a special crew". The ability to create effective change needs a clear message and a team that is willing to work through the storm. My job is to deliver the messages and invite those who believe in that message to join forces. It Can Be Done!" "The truth comes from those who have experienced it" ... Take the time to talk to the people who have experienced what BowlU has to offer. It Has Been Done!"
