The last time we caught up with Patrick Martinez, we were literally talking about South Point hot dogs.

Back then, and I say that in air quotes because it wasn’t even a year ago, Patrick may have been best known for his Patty Cam on BowlTV.

At the beginning of 2025 he announced that he was starting a video production company. The Cloud Media Productions Inc. took a lot of time and a lot of thought to get off the ground, pardon the pun.

Now that he is off the ground with it we decided to have a conversation and call it Cloud Level.

The 2025 PBA Tour has lots of talented stars and players looking to make their mark for the first time.

What it doesn't have is Joe Grondin.

The San Pedro, CA native who is now living near Lansing, MI announced at the end of last year that he was trading tour life for the working world...and mentioned some great personal things that have him excited for A New Path Forward!

You may remember Grondin from his televised finals appearance at the 2023 PBA Cheetah Championship in Wauwatosa. He defeated AJ Johnson, but lost to eventual champion EJ Tackett in the semifinal match.

The Wichita State grad did not have the success in 2024 he had hoped for, and missed the cut at the PBA Tour Trials in August.

So, what part does bowling play in Grondin's future? Listen to find out!
