Exume that fudging ball. Get it. Hate wasting that multiball. Can I save? Yeah. I hate... Like, Little Deadpool by itself is so garbage. Maybe not point-wise. It just feels... It just feels like you're not utilizing it the way it should be used. Extra ball. BB BB. BB BB. Is anything happening? I can't feel my legs. Katana Rama. Yeah, we're not going up that ramp. all of a sudden. Hmm. Yeah, I think we're leaning, ladies and gentlemen. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. There we go. That made it. You paid to build it, dude. Chimmy truck? Hell yeah. Chimichanga forever. Chimichanga bonga. You could use some extra luck. All right, so we got Domino on our team. You know what would be cool is if Domino made the snick freaking easier. Somehow. Fam. All right, let's light it up then. Let's leave the politics out of chat. Fair. All right. We lost the DNA. Lives are at stake. Don't start multiball, forehead. Thank you. Feels great. Feels great, Dad. I've never heard that. He called me stupid at the end of it. I've never heard that call out before.

I'm, I'm going to say Henry, Henry Rollins. pinball machine we're gonna roll with it the ugly one i hate deadpool wow skeeter the character or the pinball machine because if it's a pinball machine you you've obviously never played the game i mean we all have our opinions i guess how you doing tonight skeeter you good bud yo gock thank you buddy i love deadpool machine i just hate that lock shot that one. We nailed that. I think the game has to be... I've never had the game reject that many times that hard, and I think it's because we tried to level it. We might have to fix it a little bit more. Let me hit it on purpose again. Here we go. The movies suck, but the pin is fabulous. Hell yeah. Eatin' Jimmy Danger's with his dip. Needs more incline? No, we're steep. We're good on the steepest. See, this makes me think that we're not level at all, because it's not letting me post-pass at all. You know what it is? We adjusted the back, but we didn't check to see if the front was okay after we adjusted the back. You didn't square up the level very well when you used it? Oh, okay. There's that too. Monty Python and the Holy Grail pinball is a must It kind of exists with Medieval Madness That kind of what that game is There is a Pink Panther game Yeah, but it's not. It's not Pink Panther. Per se. Okay, we'll finish off Rexy here. Listen, I wiped it down, dude. Not long ago where the unicorn grown eating chimichangas with his friends. Got him. Later, dude. I would also immediately buy a Trader Joe's pinball machine. got... That's what you said, right? Trader Joe's? Didn't someone do a Monty Python that was like two stories? Oh, maybe. Yeah, it is. I will say fresh dancing for fresh blood. for fly fishing. Got it. Okay. I want Snicks. Yeah, Power Rangers, absolutely, dude. I think Power Rangers is a missed opportunity. There it is. Ass farts. Ausfart! I think Power Rangers would be sick. Why did nobody make Voltron? Voltron is known, but I don't think it's... I don't know. And the reboot wasn't... I didn't hear much about it. Fuck, did we just start multiball? Why so quiet? Ed from the Barenaked Ladies likes pinball. There is a video. Did I back that up on YouTube? I hope I did. There's a YouTube video where I drop off Total Nuclear Annihilation number one. The first game off the line. The designer, Scott Danesi Knight, drove it up to Canada to drop it off at Ed Robertson house. And he left us in his house alone while he went and played a show. Very trusting. Very trusting. Ed recorded some dialogue for Black Knight Sword of Rage? Yep. Ed's been working with Stern for a while. They did a quarantine video recently? Yeah, that was awesome. Okay, game.

I didn't mean to do that either. Okay. Although, how many balls do we have lined up? Can I line this up with the multiball? Oh, damn. We're so far away from it. So dead is how you light locks.
