- It's easy to shot-shame a player at the free-throw line and athletes who throw funny. From the depths of that bullying and loneliness, though, a revolution is brewing, with adaptations so innovative that they may shame sports themselves. Pablo goes bowling with Jason Belmonte - the two-handed Tiger Woods of the lanes - and learns how to succeed in life while looking kinda stupid.

A Pablo/Belmo crossover?!
Worlds are colliding!
When I fired up this episode, I was not expecting to hear a bowling themed trap track.
Wrong ball choice house ball hook too much
I was not a fan of professional bowling when I started this vid but I am now a huge fan of Jason Belmonte after watching it. His vids regarding his "condition" has turned me into a huge fan. Kudos Jason.
I grew up bowling. I had no idea any of this was going on. Great story. Love Belmo!
Why have i never heard of this story. The best bowler in the world bowls 2 handed? How is this not garnering more attention.
Unfortunately, bowling is a dying sport. I've been an avid bowler my whole life, both my boys are 2-handers now. It really is a revolution in the game.
@@wesleyricketts789It's actually been growing quite rapidly since the pandemic, especially for the professional tour
Unfortunately the pandemic was very hard on many centers and nearly 600 have closed down since 2020 in the US
Terrific journalism perspective and interview.
One of your best episodes Pablo. I love when you make me interested in something I never thought I'd be interested in.
This is an awesome video. I love how down to earth, confident, and driven Belmo is. This is my first Pablo video, and I appreciated that you didn't interrupt and let Belmo completely answer each question. You guys both have a great sense of humor. Subscriber/fan gained.
Pablo you rock! Best one yet. Belmo seems like a cool mtf as well
One of the best Belmo interviews I've ever seen. Well done.
So nice of Joel McHale to teach Pablo how to bowl. 😆
This is a really fun episode.
Anyone else always waiting for the one time that Pablo selects the "f*ck around" or "use gasbag magic" option instead of always selecting "Pablo explains"?
I had the same thought after watching all these vids... what's the point of them if they never get used
@@Larienth I'm sure it'll pay off one day, and I'll be there to give a lil silent fist pump
I love the PBA so this was right up my alley (someone had to say it😄) Great interview and I'm an even bigger fan of Belmo now.
One HUGE figure that I'm reminded of by this story is skateboarder Andy Anderson who wears a helmet at all times despite the stigma in skating. It isn't performance related exactly, but another pioneer in daring to look stupid and now creating a new generation of kids who wear helmets.
1984-2016 I was a crutch bowler 🎳 in local leagues vs normal players I had my way of bowling I had my way of adapting. There's no wrong way to play the sport I wanted to play no matter my disability or whatever is comfortable with & enjoy sports no matter how we are able to play rock on Belmo you are great.
I had a pretty similar mentality growing up. Those close to me would always say that if I ever want to be coached by someone then there's value in conforming. Otherwise, do your thing :)
Pablo, you're a real one for this! As a fellow Filipino-American and a bad bowler, I enjoyed this. Been following you since ESPN. Didn't know you had this channel. Liked, commented, and subscribed.
The greatest bowler in history, Walter Ray Williams Jr. even has some titles on the senior tour with 2-hands, but what's most amazing about bowling is that 1-handers still have a place on tour, even if the era of strokers has been long over, crankers and even some tweeners can keep up with 2 handers in terms of power and retail all the accuracy and control using a thumb gives you
Jason is definitely the GOAT of the bowling world, bar none. His name is up there with Walter Ray Williams II, Norm Duke, Earl Anthony. He is also a great ambassador for the sport and a generously awesome person, period. We are lucky to have him as a great prodigy for the sport and as a great role model.
2 handers have been around for a long time .We called them shovlers. But what is new is the amount of speed and revolutions he put on the ball
That was a very good story about Belmo. Much respect to him.
I am a bowler familiar with Belmonte and have seen him rise through the ranks despite the mental obstacles from others.
Not a fan of his - but I do acknowledge the talent & skill he has. Some of the angles he creates with the bowling ball are insane.
Good interview.
The ball “going in the net” is hilarious Cortez 👌
I was one of those vintage bowlers who scoffed at Mr. Belmonte when he arrived, but as Ali said, "...it ain't braggin if you back it up!" And more young people are taking up the sport with more hope than before so I'll shut up and go in some corner and be vintage.
That was very interesting very well done congrats to you and man. What a great job by you as well.
Great content Pablo
Surprised you didn’t mention that he wasn’t the first two hander Osku Palermaa was
Wow a dude I’ve never heard of called the GOAT a cancer? And then Belmo defends him. Amazing guy Belmo
Brian Voss was a top bowler and fan favorite for a long time. But unfortunately he is a giant douche in old age.
there's a bowling alley in Tomball where a worker two hand bowls regurally 290-300
Almost every city with bowling alleys in the US has really good bowlers. But what Belmo and the pros do is on another level. They bowl on much harder oil patterns that demand accuracy and consistency, as well as versatility. What us league players are regularly shooting 300’s on is called a “house shot” and it’s designed to allow a player to have miss room and still get the ball to the pocket. I booked a 241 average a couple years ago, and I would probably be the worst player on the professional tour by a pretty wide margin.
Belmo is the 🐐 he is really nice guy and will take photos and sign autographs with anyone.
Get that Emmy Pablo
Sometimes adversity works in your favor. I've admired Belmonte the last couple years from other podcasts thanks for this one, this just further solidifies my views of him.
Would be interesting to also cover times when sports' bodies 'won' these fights. Pro golf has at least 2 contemporary examples -- Sam Snead and croquet style putting was banned not because it wasn't legal by the definition of golf, a ball was still being struck not pushed, but the powers that be decided it was a style that was unbecoming of the game of golf. And very similarly, the anchored putting style was banned just a short time ago in 2016. There are times when 'that looks stupid' wins.
Loved this episode
Especially as a "chest pass" bowler myself😂
Keven Williams has a flow like cold oatmeal
Pablo O’Cardigan
Salute Mike Cohns Jr who used this method back in my bowling league as a kid in the 90s
He was 5 years old bowling 2 handed better than plenty older kids and adults
Unlike Belmo he went mainstream as a 1 hander and was still great when he got older.
Belmo the 🐐
Belmo is not absolutely is not the first to hand Buller. He is the one that set it off with the new generation, but he is definitely not the 1 who made it up..... Chuck Lande is the first 2 hander ever.
Meet Osku palermaa also😁👍
Wu Tang!
This is how Kevin Durant must feel when he defending Chet
I’m a 70 yr old two-hander 🎳
i got a job at an ally when bellmo was blowing up and my boss showed my his method and i never looked back. I also tried to develop my own two handed method called the shotput style, but i got fired for a difference of opinion between myself and management.
I am the walrus?
What up Milwaukee bro, Cortez my man..Pablo you know what it is
Ok, I get it now. Anyone who laughs when the word scissoring comes up is a child. Only children think things that work are “uncool”.
He's doing this to collect his paycheck. There's nowhere else in the world where he can earn this much money. My guess is he retires after his last check of this contract.
Why are the Korean and Barry shots humiliating?! Why is it “not cool”? I’m too old to think something that works 90% of the time isn’t cool. I’m not 10 years old anymore.
Why is there a square on the backboard if not to bank the ball?
25:06 this song is horrible 🙃😂
Are you serious with that title? Its like 2 sentences.
I love u guys but neither of u could withstand all of us picking at ur flaws 100% of the time. Not a big Ben Simmons fan but the hate is way over the top
Unless you're a fan of the team he is on, I'll never understand why people hate on him so much. And even then I always felt sixers fan were way over the top
Nobody is "picking at his flaws 100% of the time," they are just pointing out the obvious reality taking place on national television.
At any moment, the man can walk away with 10's of millions of dollars in the bank. There is zero need for you to cape-up for an extremely wealthy man acting like a spoiled child.
@@Murchasm how did I know you'd b named Jeremy😂🤣
Sports is about competition. Ben Simmons is afraid of competition. He should be ridiculed until he leaves competition.
@@jbeardsley323 I agree BS doesn't really compete. I saw that at LSU when fans & analysts said he was the shit. But I dispute your conclusion. Whatever u do for a living, bet u I can find somebody who would say you're not the greatest. Should u be belittled by all your co-workers until you u quit? Most of the ppl who have millions don't deserve it. Why aren't you trashing them?
Throw rock at sticks. That's all it is. One hand, 2 hands, who cares. Drink beer, socialize, have fun, see ya next week.
