## Analysis

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (MPT3K) streams gameplay of Banzai Run (Williams 1988) at Free Gold Watch arcade in the Bay Area. During the stream, a pop bumper coil overheats and catches fire, forcing an emergency shutdown. The host discusses Pat Lawlor's design, tournament strategy, and the game's difficulty before pivoting to playing Ice Cold Beer.

### Signals

- **[product_concern]** Pop bumper coil overheats and catches fire on 1988 Banzai Run during location play.

(confidence: high) — Clear visible fire near pop-up bumper area, burning plastic smell detected, host identifies solenoid overheating as likely cause
- **[operational_signal]** Banzai Run at Free Gold Watch contains excessive internal clutter (plastic bags, spare ramps, power supply items) being used as storage rather than properly maintained. (confidence: high) — Host discovers and documents multiple items stored inside cabinet backbox area; speculates operator identity without naming

(confidence: high) — Host explicitly states tournament strategy differs from casual play and focuses on jump shots rather than racer collection

(confidence: high) — Host notes absence of magnets and contrasts with later Lawlor machines; identifies game as first Lawlor-DeMar collaboration

Kyle, you ever fix one of these? Many, many times. Oh my god, I guess because it's from 1988. We're talking 1988. Can we get it even up in there? There we go. 1988. Oh, you suck so much, 1988. No, actually, 1980 is fun. Pat Lawler, Larry DeMar. This is Pat Lawler's first design for Williams and the first time that Larry DeMar and Pat Lawler worked together. And we don't yet have the classic Pat Lawler bottom area. Ten years or so. Oh my God. By the way, everybody, it's Audrey's, it's Little Bubblegum's birthday today. everybody throw some love in the chat for Little Bubblegum. Little Bubblegum's birthday. Let's see. How long have you been working on games, Marco Pinball? Ten years or so. If you take it off and put in earplugs at least, shit gets loud. Bought my first game in 2007. Love me because my parents never did. Wow, that's a different stream, Little Bubblegum. Please. Go talk to DJ Roche about that. Can I hit one? Okay, I'm doubled. I'm doubled. Up top. Guys, I'm never this bad at this. I swear to God. No, no, no. There we go. We're going to take the glass off, though, right after this. as long as Kyle promises me that the ball is not going to jump and hit me in the face as long as Kyle promises that I'm not going to worry about taking the glass off I've owned games for 18 years but I don't know how to really work on them I didn't know how to really work on them until 10 years ago thank you for cleaning the glass but we're going to take it off I've never owned a pinball machine But I actually know how to work on them now I'm never this bad at this Ever do Banzai DannyGelCar1 Banzai Run is a great game One of a kind And we have Ice Cold Beer behind us Let's do one more skill shot One more super skill shot Boom, super skill Oh, oh, nope, nope. All right. We have to go up to green. Got green. Got green. look it even took the plastic part off behind it does that help guys Whoa! Whoa! I'm gonna hide this. You know what's hilarious? I spent all day yesterday cleaning that damn glass just for you guys to tell me to take it off. Refocus. You got it. It's almost like I have a professional streamer in the chat helping me do this. Oops, that's exposure. Here's focus. How's that? That's 0.5. You got this. Thank you, CDs. CDs. That's good. Sorry about my Penn Stadium cord up there, but there's nothing I can do about this. Muy bueno. Excuse you, we focus. Now maybe some notice too. Location streams are easy. Let me put this back. What's up Captain 12? Did you guys know that I wore glasses? Now you do. Way more better. All right. All right, here we go. We got the glass off. Where's a gaffer when you need one exactly? Oh, by the way, Olaf Gremie, this game is in good condition but not great condition. And the owner, who will go nameless, decided to put a playfield protector on it but didn't clean the playfield. I'm scrubbing trying to get dirt And I realize wait a minute I'm not getting the dirt I'm getting the playfield protector So yeah Kyle sorry Next time I come back to SF We gotta play some Banzai Run together You will kick my butt You will Oh my god here we go Oh my god that's loud I don't know how long I'm going to be able to put up with that. That's crazy loud, guys. That's sicko loud. That might not be good. Fortunately, the sun will come up after a while. This sounds like a Bowen Kerins tutorial. Uh-oh. Oh, snap. It's a playfield protector. Yo, this is a hot mess now. I didn't realize that. If I hadn't taken the glass off, I wouldn't have noticed that. This is a little bit of a hot mess. I'm making Marco Pimble sad right now. But look, no, this is not my game. Let me try that again. I'm going to go ahead and hit him. Mmm. Glass off and he's already hitting handshakes. Mbt3k is marking D tomorrow Yes we are doing D tomorrow Do you have burn spots in displays Do we Yeah Probably This game is old This game has been kind of re revitalized back to life and it's on location here at Free Go Watch. Holy F it's loud. It is. Um... I might put that glass back on because the sun moves. The sun will move. I'm worried about this kick-out scoop. So now you guys see how loud a pinball machine is. Now you see how loud a pinball machine is without the glass on. Spent a lot of time to be, she was foreshadowing to take the glass off, yeah. Yo I can't get it. That's the only way I can get it up there, it's way too hard. of guns. Why, game? Why do you do this to me? Let's spend more time at the top than the bottom because my ears are breaking because of the glass being off. Oh my god. What do you think, Marco? Are the flippers, are the flipper coils going? Because I can't get it up there. Either that or I just suck at this. I think it's the latter. I think it's the I suck at this part. Play better. Okay. No, I'm going to take that to heart. I'm not going I'm going to act like you're not joking. Wait. There's no glass. How are you breaking it? I just ducked out of the way of no glass breaking. Got to relight that. Kickback. Good night, everybody. Should I put that glass back on? Now I know the sound of no glass breaking. Should I put the glass back on and you guys okay with the glass off or should I put it back on? This is scary here. Try multiball with the glass off. Okay, Grammy wants to put it back on. I'm going to do one more. I'll put it back on. Are you playing virtual D&D or real pinball? Oh. I might do virtual tomorrow. I won't do Wonka. I might do virtual tomorrow. But I think at best we're just going to riff to movies. So we're not going to really be watching them. playing pinball. Ho! Thank you. Good night. Of course, mommy. Oh, thank you, Pinbot. I forgot you were there. The only thing I miss from this game from Pat Lawler is a magnet. There's no magnets underneath. I cannot freaking hit that. Give me this. Anyway. Guys, it's too... No, I can't play like this. It's too tempting to do that. It's too tempting to do that. I mean, come on. I can just reach it and grab it. Congrats on the Pinball Industries excellent streaming nomination. Oh, really? Really? Really? Are you just messing with me? Cheater, cheater, luller, pinball eater. I'm not going to do that ever again. I'm not going to do that again. I can't. I can't stream for free go watch and cheat. David, are you serious or are you just messing with me? Deadass. I'm gonna put this glass back on. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. I did not know I was nominated for anything, because you know what? That is terrific. Technical excellence? Really? I want to show you guys something I'm working on too. I'll show you technical. Here we go. Boom! You're not supposed to hold the flipper up. Hey Matt, what's up? Small change Matt is here. I'm gonna put it back on. We have we had glare and so yeah so people are saying hey maybe try it with the glass off and then it turned into a nightmare of noise. Are you here fixing stuff? Are you here fixing stuff? Just stopped in? Another Matt. We got another Matt here from Small Change. Small Change Matt. He's amazing. He builds small scale arcade cabinets. Not main. Real thing. He doesn't mind main. He just doesn't build main cabinets. Got it. Finally. Boom. Alright. So that's how you get big scores on here. You never collect any of the... You don't collect any of the guys, right? Is Walter here? Yeah. Abracadabra, trying to reach him. Let me grab you. I got nominated. Oh, okay. I just got nominated. You may get any award revoked for... Ha! The cheating now scandal. Hi, Matt. Oh, it's a good thing I told you not to clip that. That one little mistake in my life is going to come back to haunt me. I will not be able to run for president anymore. Wait, no. No politics on this stream. Please, no politics on this stream. Hey, got it. Ooh, it's like playing pinball in fast forward. Trust me, guys, there's more to this game than just hitting that shot, but that's the shot. This is a politically-charged stream. David, how are you doing, though? David, welcome to the pinball theater. Thank you for joining us. Fuck off! Alright, let us... So I'm doing the Andre Masson route. Where you never... You never collect... You never collect a dude. Shia LaBeouf. Living the dream, my friend. I feel like I was... I feel like I was listening to a podcast. One of your podcasts or whatever. just recently tell him i owe a pbr oh i owe him a pbr so i put the glass back on this is an andre i saw you trapped Oh, Jeff. Jeez. Oh. Oh. Jeff's got some cards he's not showing right now. Oh. Dreaming about pinball profile in a parka with his ginger hair flowing. I still wish you a happy birthday, Little Bubblegum. Yes, happy birthday, Little Bubblegum. Just a A Pafka. What's a Pafka? Andre on the fly. Well, everything I learned about pinball, that's a lie. Andre didn't teach me anything about pinball. He shows me up all the time. He's the nicest dude in the world, and he will wreck you here. I've seen Andre lose before. It's a thing. It happens sometimes. Not a lot. Thank you for that follow. Play better pinball. Oh, you came to the wrong place. All right, so here's the thing. I'll talk to you guys a little bit about Banzai Run. I've learned something from Andre. Just have 99% accuracy. I don't know how he does it, man. I'm hoping that he gets really old someday and he can't do it anymore. So this game, this is the game where you have to race and beat the other, your opponents. You got blue beard, you got yellow belly, you got green machine, and you got red hot. It's really simple. You light the targets to light the person, right? So if I go up to the top, I can light green machine. All right. It says he's going after Green Machine. Notice that Green Machine is now lit on the back glass thing. backbox glass thing. Pafka is a misspelled parka. Oh. Gotcha. This game is amazing and fun. Cliptronic. Accuracy is overrated. You said it. All right. So now Green Machine is lit on the back thing. So the next thing I gotta do is go up to that By hitting that scoop up there Or is it a saucer? I don't know Oh, you ball searching? I haven't fired this shot yet If anybody knows whether that's a saucer Or a Gobble hole What is it? Up top, is it a saucer? Is it a gobble hole? Is it a, uh oh Accuracy though, volume Keith P. Johnson probably Saucer. Thank you, Footproduct. So, shoot the saucer, then you get to the back glass. Notice that green machine is lit and flashing. So, I'll get it back up there. So, the way to beat green machine is to hit that flashing target. Something. If you collect the second racer before it completes the first one, And the speech knows how to roll with it. And, first of its kind, yeah, it shows up with this, He's fighting Yellowbeard and Green Machine. And it's like, that's the big deal about, you know, writing a... It's like a detail that they didn't have to add, but they like... I never noticed it until Bowen Currens pointed it out in a tutorial once. I was like, oh, I never noticed that it did that. Alright, I got Yellow Belly and so if I want to defeat Yellow Belly, so I didn't move on Yellow Belly, so Yellow Belly is defeated and he's solid now. Alright, I'm in fifth place. Now I gotta get Green Machine. Now this is not the tournament strategy like I said. The tournament strategy is to keep getting the Banzai Jump at the top which is huge points. So you want to avoid... Son of a gun. You want to avoid getting your guys... Oh, I blew it because I defeated Green Machine. So I can't go back. This game has one of the hardest jackpots to score ever. It's super hard. Um, can I put, I should put the glass back on, guys. I should put the glass back on, I think. Am I smelling pinball machine or am I smelling t-shirts being made? What's up, Austin? Thank you for cleaning the non-existent glass. I'll be a boss. Oh my god, my favorite game. I wish this one was on VPX. I'll be a boss. It is on VPX. It is on VPX. You have to look for the FSS. Go on VPimball. Search Banzai. You'll find it. Thank you, Kyle. I'll see you later, bud. Thanks for the raid Not the same Come on Got it I feel like I smell like Solenoids right now Is that possible? No they're building They're making stuff back there The reason I'm hitting ABC Is because it doubles Oh shi- It doubles that So jump 2x. Hey Matt, are you guys burning something? This t-shirt. I'm playing with the glass off. Am I supposed to smell like stuff? Yeah, depending on what you think we're doing. Like, you know, you don't want to smell a burning glass. Okay. I hope that's them and not me. I hope that's not Banzai that's on fire right now. New curse word is Shia LaBeouf, yes. Wow, that is a strong smell. Here we go. I found it, y'all. I found it. Ah, suck it. Ah, suki suki. Something burned out here. Did Marco leave yet Hang on a second Something on fire I not kidding Oh yeah. Oh, something's burning. Yeah, turn the game off. Alright. Definitely something's burning. That's not... Is that my lights burning? That's not the way the t-shirt printing smells, that's for sure. No, that's the smell of burning plastic. Can you see that? Oh yeah, that's on fire. Yeah. Oh my god, the first time it's green. There we go. Let's see here. I'm sure there's actually... Wow. Well, this is the first. Yeah. See it? I'm going to probably say that it might have something to do with all these plastic bags that are in there that might be... Oh, my God. I'm going to touch in the coil. So here, I'm going to, for fun, just for the stream, maybe start pulling out all this stuff that's in there, which, again, this is not my games. I'm not sure about all the stuff that is in there, but maybe pull out all that stuff one by one and just kind of... Oh my God, what is this? Why is this a storage room? It burned. Oh, don't die, you motherfucker. Now, that's a power supply board that John Lawman fixed. Now, that's not what was burning. It was further back there. Where can I put this? Or a cart? A cart? You need a cart? Yeah. No. Now, basically, if you show everybody on the stream, try to find what was burning. It's a whole new game. Here, let me see that. See all that plastic stuff in there? Yeah, brought the coin. Is Kyle still on here? I bet he's entertained right now. No, Kyle just flipped. Oh! So, yeah guys, the game is catching on fire. How exciting is this? Hey, what's kind of cool, since we're watching, this tray actually has the Banzai Run Logo on it, which is kind of camera looking at here Bro, hold on all that crap I don't want to break anything. It's kind of like hung up Steve yeah, what is that? Oh my god. Wow. What is all this stuff? You guys came here to watch? Oh, you know what? This is ramp set, so... Ay yi yi. Yeah, you know... He will go nameless right now, the operator of this. He should shovel. They weren't lying when they say MPT-3K is fire. I'm not sure that it was that. It might have just been a burning coil. So until we actually pull the, and pull it all up and see, I'm not sure. I would imagine it might have been one of these, a bunch of these plastic bags in here, but I'm not sure. This might have to get cut short, guys. Sorry. I'm not turning this thing back on. You never know what's going to happen on the street. Yeah. You think I would have smelled it if I hadn't had the glass on? Probably not for a while. Would have taken a little bit more time to sell, but I think it would have started fogging up in there. Something right here. Which could be a cool feature in pinballing, you know, a little fog machine inside the plate field. Yeah, it looks like it was right by the pop-up first. Yeah. Alright. Yeah, what are you going to do? You could try to take the rig and go to hoops, but then you'd have to move a lot of stuff. I've got to move a lot of stuff. You say, who wants to see hoops? Hoops! to see hoops it would be it would be just easier to open up the play field yeah it well yeah but not with all my gear set up pretty cool yeah um mystery pyro theater i can't lift it with all my gear i mean you know the rig is set up here and it's a little crazy Oh my god! I don't think so Hey guys, do me a favor. Oh, what's up, Motherfucker? I was wondering why am I getting... Why am I getting prints in my ear? What's up, Motherfucker? Don't use your pinball machines as storage. Okay? First things first. That would be a bad idea. Thank you for the bids. Hey look, here's a great place to store your friggin' extra ramps. It's so funny that Marco just left. Oh, my God. What do you think burned, guys? What do you think is burned? Oh, well. It's like, look, here's the thing. When you're Twitch streaming, they always say, and I'm going to take this off for a minute. When you're Twitch streaming, they say, don't look at your viewer count. Because that will just distract you Do not look at your viewer account Don't worry about the viewer account Keep your eye on the game Keep your eye on the thing to the thing Look at the viewer account It's going up Because the game caught on fire Apparently people know where fire is Damn I spent so much freaking time guys Setting this up Well I'm going to break it down Ay Dios mio That's quite the storage area. Yeah, it is. Well, what's the one that are bad? What was that? What's the one that are bad? The ones on the machines. You mean the ones that are bad? Yeah. By the sizes, too. I'm not turning it back on. I'm tempted to turn it back on. Man, I'm probably going to have to get rid of it. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. back on.

The glass was off You want me to... I... Eww Eww I think it was one of the solenoids overheating Eww Eww Eww This is kind of fun. I've never played this before. Johnny, thank you for the biddies. Level two. What? Oh, man, are you... Oh, man, you must have yourself. Give me names. Hi, Terry. We just destroyed a Banzai Run, so we're playing ice cold beer. Damn it. Oh, you can't do it that way. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. How do you... How are you supposed to do that level? I can't do it. Get some mustard on it. I should turn this into an ice cold beer stream, basically. I think I just did. Game won't let you pause. We'll keep doing it. Who are you, me? It's like record time game destruction. Yeah. It's on a timer? Oh, it's on a timer. I didn't know it was on a timer. Alright, I'll try again. I didn't know it was on a friggin' timer. Here, I'm gonna... I'm gonna... Oh my god. This is hilarious. Ice cold! Alright, alright. I'm gonna make it to... Oh, look at that. I'm gonna make it to... Level 3. The game is playing by itself? Oh, that was my ball three. I'm an idiot. Who else plays ice cold beer? Because certainly I don't. Redeem, turn around. It also keeps going up and up on its own. Terry, you played this? Shit's moving. Man, did you get my PM? Everything okay? Yes, X. I did. X, you got a t-shirt, right? I think I already sent it. It's like watching a car accident. You can't do anything. All right. This is the best stream ever. Bonzai Run turned turned ice cold beer ah How are you supposed to do this one? Hey, that's not fair. You kind of have to push it in. I've been looking for that game for a while. How much you want? What's up, Ice Kadoop? I'm terrible. Oh, an ice cold beer? Yeah. Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. Can you do this from your knees so they can watch? Yeah. Wait, I got three. I got three. Boom. Matt's taking over. Oh, shit, I got takeover at four? Yeah. Now you want to watch a pro. Not a pro. She hears the check, right? We're going to four? Yeah, going to four. Oh! Did you guys see that move? That was baller. Oh! Oh! Man is getting his squats in today. Flipstream, I could go for an ice cold beer right now. There's one in New York for $4,500. An ice cold beer? Oh, oh, oh, oh, you got it, you got it, you got it! He got it, he got four. He got four. So five, he just come right up here. Five is gonna be tough. Flipcharting season for 3k. Why are they so expensive Matt? I don't know, I think it's pretty rare. It's pretty rare? Pretty rare to find them working? So you gotta shoot... I've never heard of it really. You gotta shoot straight up, right? Oh! Oh! Oh! Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice! Oh, up and over! Up and over! how high have you ever gotten? it gets dense up there at times This game looks so fun it actually it is now and you on a timer I didn know you were on a timer Oh the timer bonus Alright, I will stream this one day. Maybe for like 30 minutes. We'll come down and we'll stream Ice Cold Beer. I can't believe I have so many viewers for Ice Cold Beer. I played this exact one here. It's great. It is. It works great. Yeah, Johnny. Whoa! You got it. You got it, baby. You got it, baby. You got it. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Six. Time to do six. The timer also pushes the bar up. Oh, it does. Oh, it's way too long. Yeah. Six it up, baby. Oh! Oh! Check this kid out! What? Check this kid out! This kid can freaking earn. Alright, she went for seven. Seven time baby! Uh oh. Let's go! Let's go! I didn't realize how popular this game would be to stream. So, okay. Thank you Banzai for exploding. Oh man. Why do I feel like Al Anonymous is really good at this game? Oh my god. Oh! Oh! Right here. How we do it. Boom! Small Change Arcade. Check out. You guys got to check out smallchangearcade.com, right? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah? Show me your logo. Show me your logo. I always got to do this. This one on the back. This one on the back. Yeah. Yeah, got it. Thank you, bud. Yeah, anonymous, why do I get the feeling that you, I've done 33 holes. I've gotten six once. I'm going to do one more. I'm going to do one more. And then I'm going to get out of here. Because we're going to have to figure out why Banzai Run crossfire. What's up, El Rocco? Thank you, El Rocco. Thank you, El Rocco. Thank you, El Rocco. So El Rocco, here's what happened. Here's what happened. You see I got my streaming hat on, right? I got my streaming hat on. I came to stream Banzai Run. We got four or five games in. And then something caught on fire. Something on Banzai caught on fire and started smoking. So that happened. So we're playing ice cold beer and then I'm going to go home. I'll probably take a nap because I'm old. Everybody say happy birthday to Little Bubblegum once again because it's Little Bubblegum's birthday. Everybody go in there and say happy birthday Little Bubblegum. Little Bubblegum. Everybody say happy birthday to Little Bubblegum. I'm doing six. I'm doing six. Game Time What's up Game Time? Game Time Stop distracting me! Did you talk at all about the history of this particular game? No, you want to tell them? Well, it's just kind of funny considering that this game just caught on fire. Oh, really? This game survived a fire. Tell them in the microphone. Is this one right here? Yeah. All right, I think I'm close enough. Yeah, so this ice cold beer, I think it's Sean's. It was in a fire, and that's why the joysticks are all melted on the top. Oh, wow. Yeah. And so it mostly survived they like repaired part of the cabinet But all the control panel and everything the glass and everything inside the original Yeah, so it's a legit survivor and but I don't know maybe there's some bad I got the skills. You wanna try one more Matt? Ah son of a gun! I'll try, I'll give it one more round. One more here. Yeah. Sometimes you get it, and it won't register as the rate. That's not cool. That's a super bummer. That's not cool. Wow, Manu. Flipchartic, you be quiet. I've owned this game twice. I use it as a sobriety test. This should have been a Price is Right game. Oh, man. Skills to pay the bills. Thank you for the support, Flex. Mother footer. Thank you for smashing the glass. No, you can't smash the glass now. There's no glass. Don't waste your redemptions. I'll smash the glass like I smashed your mom. Wow. Happy birthday, little bubblegum. Cliptronic, you get rid of it. Each time I owned it I was offered almost twice what I paid for it. It's not too expensive to get another. I can imagine this is a really fun game to have at home. If you have friends over and you just sit them in front of it and say, here give it a shot. Give it a shot. I think they should make an alternative board for him. Yeah. He's going for five. He's going after Yellowbeard. Hi, George. He got five. He's going back to six. Remember what happened last time at six. You guys remember right? It didn't end well. I got 6 last time. 7. Oh damn. I was close. I haven't unlocked the MP3K emoji, so this will have to do. You could easily make removable vinyl with overlays. I guess you could, yeah. Removable vinyl overlays. Come on, baby, you can do it. Come on, baby. Nice and easy, nice and easy. Slow and steady, slow and steady. Yeah! Balls like stuffed in. Yeah! Woo, stream for 10 hours so you can get it most. Yeah, a little bubble gum. I want to make a combined physical LCD updated version of this game. Well Terry Red says there's a VPX of this. Apparently you can just play it virtually with two joysticks. Oh, boy. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh! Oh! What the? Did you see that? That was improvised. That was not the best matchup. I hit that. P3 for sure. I could do it. God dang it. I looked away for one second. Oh! Where you at? Ball three? Yeah. Yeah, that's my last one. Alright, last one. The last one is like up here. This is like the best dream ever. By the way, all anonymous, this is why I bought the ZV-1. This is exactly why I bought the ZV-1. Just for this. He's feeling a little tense. He hasn't moved up that far yet. He's going for the hill. He's going for the hill. Let's look at that replay. That was an amazing replay. Let's see. He's going. He's going. Oh, is this the crazy one? Yeah. Did I get enough of the replay? I don't think I got enough of it. No, I didn't get enough of it. Alright. Fun times. Well, thank you guys so much. That's enough ice cold beer. I hope you all enjoyed Banzai Run. I apologize. I'm sorry that that's the first time on stream where one of the games actually started to die and I didn't feel like being responsible for burning the place down. ZV-1 looks great. Yeah, this is it right here. If you want a camera to do web streaming, I highly recommend the ZV-1. It's about $750, but if you're entrenched in streaming like I am and like Anonymous and stuff like that, it's a great camera to stream. also it's a great camera to just have it's really good just to go around it'll do 4k 30. it's beautiful i don't get paid by uh sony at all but you know uh zv1 and a couple of cx40s oh look at me i'm of course i'm i'm i'm nominated for technical excellence because i'm talking about tech stuff i can't shut up thank you david congratulations on the excellence one nomination where do i go find out where do i go see that thing i don't even know where it is I don't even know where it is alright let me just do this real quick oh crap that was dumb I'm building one more little funny thing I want to show you guys I'll have this fully working tomorrow night where you can redeem it where is Oh, crap How do I close this? You know, I hate that Leon Board, the app Now has ads It's so annoying It's 2-7 Okay Alright, so you guys ready? This is Oh, Bouncy Hole, thank you. Ow, thank you for that clip. That's awesome. I'll make sure Matt sees that, because that was pretty balling. All right, here we go. Do you remember this meme? I'm ready. Taking off? Yeah, yeah. All right, good to see you man, definitely. Bye everybody! Are you ready boy? Wait, they're anywhere. Oh, here they are. Are you serious? Who are we going to raid now? Who are we going to raid? Change the name to TPN people.
