It's relays

Bob Allison was head of the Perogi gang here in Detroit. Tough group. No one, and I mean no one, gets away with winning $10 on Bowling for Dollars and doesn't pay the price later.

@@dratalsky you know it & many are buried under feather bowling lanes lol

@@Sacred-Profane I'm just saying, I'd beware of eating the kielbasa from Kowalski. I've heard rumors.

@@dratalsky lol Polish persuaders What is in that goose blood soup ??

Died shortly after this show went off the air again about ten years ago, which wasn't more than a few weeks.

Obviously

Died in 2005. Bowling related accident.

My father sweated so much that he lost a belt size.

More than half of these people are Polish, so they had to do something to save some money.

Is it too late to file a lawsuit?

You’re only a loser if you put money on my father to win.

WHose yer daddy?@@dratalsky

​@@horaceball5418Yes. I was the little boy in the audience who they didn't show when he was telling who he brought along. 😢

@@dratalsky My daddy did Bowling for dollars and my mommy, sister, me, my girl friend Carol and friend Paul went. My daddy went Brooklyn, left the 6 pin and then missed it to the right.

Oh of course. Proudly displayed.

Rochester had a version too

I didn’t know that. Was it destroyed?

@@dratalsky yes the original arena was destroyed, but they rebuilt the arena elevating it up from the original floor. Now there is a basement and you can walk underneath the lanes. I used to work there as a mechanic in the late 90’s.

@@JB-bs1se Interesting. Thanks.

And pass up an opportunity to win $5??

What was yours like?

Bowling was in my blood. Both my mother and father were on Bowling for Dollars, and my mother was on Beat the Champ (she beat him). I was bowling before I could walk.

Sorry, I cried a lot back then. I was only nine.

I think they were all over the country in various forms.

Hmm… is it too late to launch an investigation?

My mother used to say that all the time. Now I know what she meant.

Someone you know?

their, not there!

Yes, I do believe so. I think the host says it in the video.

Come to think of it I don’t believe we ever got it? Maybe I should make some phone calls.

@@dratalsky ha ha. Funny.

@@dratalsky I was hoping you had the dinnerware in a basement or attic. That would have been interesting. Where was that episode filmed?

@@LucysPop I believe it was at the Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, MI.

@@dratalsky lol!

Maybe Pam was a mailman? 🤔

Especially considering he was extremely nervous and sweating profusely.

When you pick the names from a barrel it’s pretty much a crap shoot.

Both my parents were on Bowling for Dollars. My mother was also on a local show called Beat the Champ, and she actually beat him. 🙂

@@dratalsky COOL Sounds like you have great parents!

Me too! Out of Pittsburgh!

This was just after it became illegal to cover their mouths with duct tape.

That was me. I was 10 years old, but I had a high voice and I was very emotional.

Still the best. Because after you ride it you can get back on it almost immediately because there’s never any wait anymore. We actually got stuck at the very top of the first climb one time and had to walk down. Scary stuff. One woman had a panic attack and had to be taken to the hospital.

Should I have kept that ball? Is it worth something today?

@@dratalsky I don't think so, but it brings back great memories of my 1970's and early 1980's bowling. Great spare ball, and if you get lucky here on RU-vid...you'll find a clip or two of a pro using it as a strike ball and hooking the hell out of it!! (Jeff Mattingly, Marshall Holman)
