lol that's no coincidence, that's fate my friend.

Story tiiiiiimee!!! You have no idea how excited I get for these. I specifically made my favorite meal to properly enjoy this haha

Jeff Lebowski .

Please do more storytime videos. Would love to hear some more roadtrip stories.

Two things I wanna tell you, Jeff! Back in the day, when Buck knives were still made by the guy they're named for, the phenolic for the handles was melted down from scraps of old bowling balls. And two, when I was in middle school I bought a backpack at Goodwill for three bucks. I came to find on the way home there was $150 tucked inside the front pocket. Helped us pay the bills that month ;) Have a good one!

You're the only person who could sit down and talk about bowling for 18 minutes and have me actually listen the whole time! More story time videos Jeff?!?!

we had a local bowling alley burn down last year, I never went in there. my old high school had a 2 lane bowling alley with manual pin setting. that is so uncanny that you found an identical ball to the custom drilled one that you ordered plus that pair of shoes in your size!!! what a score !!!!!

Rodney Dangerfield did a skit once where he won a $25M lotto and the guy who did the drawing asks what he's going to do with all that money and Rodney goes "Well.. perhaps first I'll get my bowling ball re-buffed!" Lol

BTW I have a busy morning so this is tomorrows video Im uploading now :)

Hi Jeff 😎 I think it's Awesome that you & Cristina are having fun together bowling!!🎳 I think Ur finding the bowling bag, identical ball, & shoes is a sign that I would believe that it means that Ur new hobby is meant to be!! I hope you guys have loads of fun!! I love Ur Story Times!! Take care. ❤️

I’m happy for you guys that you are having fun together with the new hobby.

Billiards and bowling are some of the coolest sports you can play

A good bowling movie is Uncle Buck

Always great to see when you upload!

I don't know anything about bowling but I always enjoy your stories and just listening to you talk about whatever. You're looking great by the way man.

Whatta wonderful story time post brother!

Thank you very much for this video, i love to listen to the storytime videos when im going to sleep.. after listening to every single one you've made multiple times its nice to enjoy a new one :)

Awesome video Jeff!

That was an amazing happenstance! Ya got a real nice set of balls there man.

You remind a lot of my poppy. I could never even begin to count how many hobbies he used to have. Everything from collections of guns, knives, coins and jewels to wood working and raising different animals. He always had something new he was getting into.

That is an insane story!! It’s like... first of all.. such a WOW factor you found the same ball.. and even higher WOOOWW when it fit.. and then shoes.. THAT FIT!!!!!!! It’s like it was in a video game and someone left it for you for the next step... wow.. dude.. hahahahaha

That is crazy! Good find

Great review jeff , I used to bowl on a league in the mid 90's I still have my teal color 16 lb hammer. my average wasn't good ( I forgot exactly ). Even though I wasn't good I honestly had so much fun. Now after I watched this video I want to go bowling again. LOL

Lol the man upstairs says you must bowl lol excellent and super lucky find

Watch, now 2 years from now, Jeff is going to go pro. Lol

Thanks for the story! It looks like you got a bowling ball haircut too, recently. Just like I did. Spring is finally here!

We had a bowling alley next to the golf club i worked out. Some the employees all got together and joined a league. It was a lot fun but man did we drink a lot of beer. We all got out own ball and shoes lol.

AMazing. Not only do I collect knives, and I have several guns, I also started bowling early. I was on a teen league until I was 18, I got back into bowling a few years ago on a league until they closed the bowling ally. I'm now disabled and can't bowl, it kills my feet! (Fibromyalgia). I also have been "rocking" the bald head for the last two decades. I guess that's why your videos resonate so much with me, we seem to have a lot in common..

Bowling is fun!

Typically 14 or 15 is the heaviest by me im actually a huge fan of stupid light ones like 6-7 and the few rare times i find oune that fits my fingers i have the most fun because i whip that sucker down there and watch the velocity vs kinetic energy argument play out

Jeff I enjoy your video's. Thank you

There are tons of private clubs in PA that have 4-8 bowling lanes and they all allow smoking because they're private and not open to the public. I'm sure you can get a few people to vouch for you to be a member and it'll only be like $20 a year for dues, depending on the club of course.

Youll have to get the second engraved C. L. as well, good find, it was ment to be. Thanks man, have a good evening

Damn dude you're looking a whole lot better since you're weight loss program. Keep it up

Love bowling!

One time me, my girlfriend and our daughter were planning to go ice skating last minute when the Red Wings were moving to the new arena, they had a fan day at their old arena and everyone could skate on the ice one last time. I already had a pair but my girlfriend and daughter did not...so for shits we went to a salvation army and there were a brand new perfect pair of training skates for my daughter and another pair of womens skates, both in their exact sizes. By the way those were the only skates in the place.

JEFF YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT

Bowling Green Massacre. Never forget.

A guy in my school a few months ago broke the record for fastest game with all strikes.

thats funny af no joke the last year I started bowling hard core again lol I didn’t realize how much I missed it a I bought all my stuff and bowled for a couple months with my regular ball then I started buying crazy balls like the storm timeless and I’m telling you it’s fun just to try out different types of balls at different alleys

Just started carrying neck knifes 2 weeks ago and I luv it! What knife u gotta round ur neck today? Great video!

i love bowling i should do it more often

A real stroke of luck with that bowling-bag! Speaking of nothing: check out the RealSteel Connector, a really sweet neck knife, which comes in two "flavors" (Drop point & Wharncliff). D2 be the steel & the scales are made out of G10. Have a nice week.

You should come up to New England and try out candle pin bowling!

🤣 You're so funny.

I’ve been bowling for about 3 and a half years, my youth league average ended up at right around 188 or so. Storm and rotogrip equipment is my favorite right now.

The shadow under your nose is mesmerising

Hi Jeff, Great story. What are the odds? :)

Bowling is fun :) I have a 13lb too just like your wife. I am just okay at bowling...nothing to write home about...but a casual league is a great way to make friends and to hone your skills from watching and getting tips from the better bowlers.

lol what if jeff picked up bowling, quit in a week, donated his bowling bag and shoes to the salvation army and repressed the memory.

Great find. Bowling is a blast, but I lost interest in it and picked up billiards pool, and have been playing for over a year now.

Hey Jeff, please please get to telling MORE STORYTIMES ABOUT WHEN YOU WORKED AT THE OLD FOLKS HOUSE. You had me crying last story time vid. OMG. Crazy, hilarious.. experiences from that place I bet you have left to tell US. SO PLEASE JEFF...LOL have a great day bro.

You are the most American guy that i have on youtube. This is not a negative it is just funny to me because i am from EU. It is hard to explain just the view on things=) Good video

Bowling is great!

That's funny of all subjects you brought up my brother friend came by we were having a conversation he was telling me how my 10 year old niece skunked him in bowling

Back in the early 2000 up until 2007 my bowling alley allowed smoking the even still had cigarette vending machines

Hey Jeff you should try golf, I’m by no means good but it is so enjoyable. You can find cheap sets of clubs used and that’s how me and all my friends started out.

Oh cool! I have been bowling for a while and im excited to see some bowling videos on the channel! And i feel you on that ball split, i ruined my DV8 Thug by storing it the wrong way.. The bridge split first and i didnt think too much about it being very thin about a quarter inch or so, then some time later the ball split from the bridge to my thumb hole and i was pissed. Now i have Radical Xeno and that damn thing hooks hard even on heavy oil. I need to look into getting a spare ball because trying to get that 10 pin is borderline impossible with the amount of hook i have and trying to do reverse hook consistently without hurting myself is just out of my skillrange for now. but i average about 180, not great but not bad either! When im having a good game i can go to 240+

Hey jeff, are you still into straight razors? Do you still use them occasionally?

I used to do semi professional bowling I have won competitions and I have 3 or 4 medals and a heap of ribbons. But I stopped bowling because I got bored after doing for 2 years and started doing archery and clay shooting instead.

I’m watching at 1 in the morning wanting to go bowling.

I bowled a 279 in league once. Same thing happened after about 6 in a row everyone was watching me. 8 in a row. Then a solid 10 pin in the 9th. Picked it up and threw 3 more strikes. I don't know if I'll ever come close to that again. Funny thing was I did it with a house ball. It was an rc5 from the '70s. It had the fingertip grip and it fit like it was drilled for me. I should have taken it home.

Don't care about bowling but really enjoyed the video. Sweet luck there

Gotta be some kind of glitch in the Matrix, the chances of finding that combo is just crazy

My Nephew is on the MSU bowling Team he bowled a perfect game last year.

I worked at 2 bowling alleys at the same time for a few years. I got pretty good just messing around on the clock when the machanic wanted a lane tested after repairs. fun times! I also had access to a bunch of free balls that were high end and just needed to be resurfaced and redrilled. I never heard anything about minimum weights in leagues. I always threw a 12 lb with a 2 finger grip and put a lot of spin on it, but also learned the normal fingertip grip for more accurate shots. whenever I play I always just mess around and to trick shots like under the legs and spin it and still get strikes pretty easily. I think my best score is probably 220 or 230 and I think it was even with a house ball. too long since it happened for me to remember but If I'm actually trying to play I can average 180 I would say

I love bowling but I can only straight bowl. I wish I could spin the ball and get above 200. The closest I've got is like 160. I usually bowl like 120. I have had shoes for like 7 years now but no ball.

You can still smoke indoors at the native american casinos around here. Maybe look into going bowling at place like that.

My ball was from a Salvo for $1 fit my had perfect. now just need to find shoes and a bag.

Great find at Salvation Army, good luck with your bowling, maybe smoke a cigar in parking lot 😬

Long oil short oil .hook angle striaght back up ball now you need to get a double ball bag

Haha omg this was hilarious man 😂😂😂👍

I always thought a cats eye ball or a 💀 ball would be cool!

Dang how lucky could you be? Lol. I would’ve freaked out if i that happened to me. My family used to be really into it about a year ago where we would go bowling almost every weekend for the whole summer. Now i just go with some friends who were on the highschool team. Still a pretty fun time even though they smoke me every game.

I have no spare time he says, no pun intended!😆

Averaged 205. Love storm and Columbia equipment. High game 289.

Any duckpin lanes out there

Always wanted to have a bowling ball that looked like the one Buck used in Uncle Buck haha

i bowled a few times in my life, its fun every now and then with a bunch of people. i always lose though! lol

hello sire .. i know you are a pipe smoker so i got a Q there is a brand call Dagner pipes i think you heard about it .. so my Q is all the pipes comes with a filter? and is all the filters fits with all the pipes ?

How do Klingons, bowl...Overhand. :) :)

Starting in the early 60's my grandfather and grandmother on my mom's side owned a bowling alley near Warendale PA., and they had leagues they played in, and they also had kids leagues that I played in in the mid 70's(I was about 10 then), I was pretty fair I would say, it helped that my Grandpa was a darn good bowler and would give me lessons, can't for the life of me remember any scores or averages, of course that was 40+ years ago so you gotta cut me some slack LOL, I bet it's been 30+ years since I've even touched a bowling ball at this point, just has never been very popular out here in Idaho where I've lived since 1979 when the whole family moved out here, or maybe I just never found the interest in it again, anyhow have fun at it and take care.

I got into bowling heavily 2 years ago but sadly I don't have time to go anymore but I miss it so much. I went at least once a weeks sometimes 3. I got pretty decent but it was mostly about trying new techniques for me and building skill. I got a $300 reactive ball for $6 at a thrift store. It was all beat up but I had it refinished and polished and redrilled for my measurements and it's never let me down since. I highly recommend shopping at a thrift store for a ball as fixing up an old one and getting it redrill will only run you about 40 bucks. Get the cheapest shoes you can, sure the high level pro shoes will slide better but your not a pro so your basic $40-$60 shoe is perfect and will last a long time. Besides if your bowling local alleys you don't want to ruin a $300 shoe by stepping in a beer spill or gum. stepping in anything will ruin the shoe so be careful where you walk and don't ever take them into a bathroom. You can get shoe covers that look like hair nets to protect your slide pads if you need to run to the bathroom real quick but just take them off if you have to and have some slip on shoes with you. The playing games on your phone and watching it on tv is normal for all new bowlers. It's just that fun of a game and fun to learn. All my siblings, and friends who got into bowling around the same time I did we all started watching videos, playing video games, reading books, watched movies, and even rented bowling education videos from the library. We even started lawn bowling for a quick afternoon bowl when we didn't have time or money to go to the lanes. I miss it so much.

Lol. Sounds like we are about the same. Hope you guys dont burn out going at it so hard so fast. Great finds.

Interesting.

I was into bowling when I was younger, bowled in a couple money leagues per week, and was averaging right at 200. I had an accident at work where my right index finger was crushed and that ended my competitive bowling. My wife and I still go occasionally and enjoy it but like you there is no time for league play any more. Get some pointers from the pro shop, video yourself and Christina approaching and releasing the ball and compare to pro bowlers with similar body types to see where you may make adjustments for more consistency. Being consistent is key, and being careful not to stress your back or knees (my weak links, yours may vary) to avoid injuries. It is great fun!! Enjoy, and maybe sneak in a cigar to the manual reset lanes ;-) Still never bowled a 300 :-(

I bowled for like 7 years when I was a kid and averaged somewhere around 125. My highest game was a 186 I think. I haven't bowled seriously in years and I kind of miss it.

First I'm gonna become rich and famous then I'll buy me a mansion then install a bowling alley and then I'll let you smoke your cigar while bowling. Life goals

Jeff, join a handicap bowling league... you'd love it!

We need bowling vlogs! What's your current average?

Do you guys still bowl Jeff?

J..just the fingertips...

Nice goatee

My friends and I bowled every weekend my senior year of high school. We enjoyed it so much that we all got custom shoes, bowling balls, and bags. My one friend was in leagues for several years and went on to take drilling lessons. He now owns two bowling pro shops in town and has a KZfaq channel. If you're interested, check it out: Alexander's Pro Shop

I used to be more into bowling. Not in a league or anything but just casually bowling with my friends a few times a month. The problem is that prices around here have gotten ridiculous, in my opinion. For the cost of two people renting shoes and bowling a couple of games those same, two people could catch a matinee (at least - maybe even an evening showing) of a movie and have a pretty good dinner. Kind of the same thing has happened with playing pool - if you can find a decent place to play. Both of these are fun past times but, unfortunately (at least in my area) things that used to be solidly in the realm and budget of the average working Joe (or Jane) haven gotten overly expensive. As far as balls, when I was a kid (middle school) my mom got a ball custom drilled for her. It was a 12 pounder and by the time I was in high school it fit my hand pretty well. She also found a 16 pounder at a yard sale for me. To this day, I like a 16 pounder for a 'main' ball for power and a 12 pounder for a little more control. Unfortunately I don't know where either of those are, now.

Back in the mid-eighties, I used to bowl for fun and in a league (Ihad my own ball etc). I was at my local bowling alley one quiet day and bowled a 294. This was in the days of paper scorecards and there was no-one other than the manager there and he was out the back drilling a ball. Here's a little story: At the end of the year we'd have a final league tournament on trophy day. The winning team of that day's games would win a trophy and the trophies for the year would be handed out as well. Anyway, I was in my late teens and my mum was also in a league team. The night before I'd been out all night 'on the piss' (drinking) with friends and the tournament started at 8am and went for most of the day. My mother had to kick me out of bed and force me to go. I was still three parts pissed (drunk) when we arrived. The upshot was, I bowled better than I'd bowled all year and because of my handicap I scored way high. The rest of the team also had fairly good days as well. At the trophy presentation, we got a trophy for Last Place champions for the year, and the trophy for winning final tournament, the most prestigious match of the year! But geez I was crook later in the day. Thank you. You've inspired me to think about taking up bowling again. I'm in my mid-fifties now and reckon that'd be a bit of fun when I'm not working.

Ive never been a huge bowling guy I like it and have bowled off and on over the years. But I had an uncle ate slept abd drank bowling for what must of been 50 years had a very similar experience as your dad he had all stikes till the very last frame and blew it also he said he was so nervous his hands were shaking and he was sweating he just couldnt pull it off. Lo

I have Elf bowling for PC.... If I can find my cd for it I can send it to you if you want ? I think it's really cool & fun & the little Elves swear & talk shit LOL!! They have a few other games too. You may be able to download it for free. Google "Elf Bowling". You'll see some of the stuff!! ❤️

If you went to a thrift store in San francisco it would have been $869 for authentic high quality marble bowling ball in a vintage designer bag with pro custom vegan leather shoes.

Fuck it dude, lets go bowling.
