Did I go a bit too far?  Probably.

My buddy and I had a blast watching this one. The vasectomy joke and the drink sip to follow was the first to really kill me. I think bowling could use stuff like this more often. Things have become too serious and it makes it almost like another job.

YES.  HE LITERALLY PRONOUNCES IT FIETTI.

Lol thanks for the support.  My podcast Friday is actually going to be about trying to have more fun bowling.  I thought I MIGHT have been pushing it a bit with this one, but I ended up most of the way through a White Russian (in honor of The Dude) by the time I got around to filming, and by then I was cool with it LOL.  Bowling should be fun.  I don't think anything they release anymore is truly groundbreaking or going to change the game, the real deal is playing with shapes and having fun.  It's ok to buy a ball because you want one, not because you're "trying to fill a hole in my arsenal." 

Not enough people are having fun bowling, that's why league and competitive bowling is dying while at the same time, places like Main Event are going up everywhere and thriving.  Make Bowling Fun Again.

I haven't had an initial reaction of very strong agreement in a while. Until reading this. Absolutely on the point.

Luke, I certainly enjoyed that video. Had a bad day at work. Came home showered and cracked open a modelo and watched the video and was laughing my ass off. It was cool. Thx Tom

FWIW, Fietti is the Americanized version of how the name is supposed to be pronounced in Italian. The R is supposed to be a rolled R in Italian, but that sound doesn't really exist in the English language and is often replaced with a soft T. It's a similar situation to "Boucher" being Boosh-shay instead of Boosh-ir, except Americans don't struggle with that sound.

But don't let that stop you from thinking he's a huge d-bag. He still deserves that regardless.

Haha yeah.  I'm somewhat of a linguist, but his instance is rather egregious, or at least it's the one that gives people the most problems!  He doesn't even try to roll it  ;D

Thanks!  Kinda what I'm shooting for a bit more in my opinion videos, part of the reason I do them.  My reviews need to be "professional," but the rest of my content is mine to control.  If bowling was more fun, more people would do it!

Nice video.  Glad to see you're having fun with bowling especially since you went through a period where quitting became enticing.

Your tester is an amazing bowler who studies the game.  I have much respect for him.  But, when we a bunch of us saw this video, we all cracked up at the 5-7-10.  Kevin's bromance buddy left that so often at tournaments that it's now called the "Fanter" around here.  Glad to see you left that shot in there as it definitely fit the fun theme you had.

Haha yeah, we both agreed that shot had to make it into the video, it was too perfect. Andes is that backstreet boy looking really stylish bowler that uses no bevel and who everyone wishes they were, he's also a bit too nice and cool for being as awesome as he is.  Really glad he helped me out here, made for a great video.  Lol really like Fanter too, good dude.
