It goes without saying that EJ Tackett is leading Team MOTIV at the upcoming PBA Elite League: Battle of the Brands.

In a social media prank that was well executed, MOTIV guys Ronnie Russell and Brett Spangler claimed that Ronnie’s brother in law would be replacing EJ on the team.

EJ took that joke like a champ, and a discussion about the real Team MOTIV is where we started the episode Top of the Mountain.

I’m a big fan of finding and trying new social media platforms.

When I first heard about Bluesky several weeks ago, I didn’t see it as a substitute for any other platform or away to signal my political leaning. The former would probably fly in the face of what I’m trying to do with the marketing of Bowling With The Fef!, and the latter is something that almost always has nothing to do with Bowling With The Fef!

At that point there weren’t many bowling related accounts on Bluesky, but after about a day, I was glad to see an inbox message from Simon Kimber, the creator of the Tenpin Toolkit (tenpintoolkit.com) app.

That led to this episode of the show that we called Bowling’s Swiss Army Knife.

Did Nate Purches just have his best week EVER?

Maybe for now...but, if his current trajectory in bowling continues into 2025 and beyond, he will probably top it soon!

Purches, of Fond du Lac, WI, combined a runner-up finish at the PBA Regional Players Invitational in Reno, NV on Sunday (Dec. 15, 2024) with receiving the 2024 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year award a few days prior.

And Purches is also exempt for the 2025 PBA Tour season because of his fourth-place finish at the PBA Tour Trials in August.

What does this guy do for an encore? We'll have to wait to find that out, but the newly-crowned ROY shares his thoughts on a memorable 2024 in Ep. 188!
