A quick side note, before we get into this week's episode, I'm going to finish the unofficial

Born to Ball podcast and continue to post the season here on the Fro Noz Photo Podcast channel.

But if the series does continue, I will start a new channel, which is actually already out there

and it's linked down below in the description so that you can get the unofficial

Born to Bowl podcast on its very own channel. I didn't want to leave you guys hanging who

enjoyed the first couple of episodes. So that is why I'm putting this note here. But now let's get

2026 PBA season, E.J. Tackett stepped up to the line with a chance to win the Masters.

He needed to strike, and he didn't. So I got him to sit down this week, and we talk about that

as well as Born to Bowl. So what we're going to

do is we're going to run the interview with EJ and then after that I'll go into the recap of episode

number three. All right, E.J., welcome to the unofficial Born to Pole podcast. I'm glad to be here.

It looks like people can't see this at home, but are you sitting in the
