better days yeah it's an interesting story about that Jurassic we we took it out to have 007 in um so maybe we'll get to see 007 played in a tournament tonight I need to find a game I actually delayed for an hour because at the beginning of these tournaments are generally like weeding out you know not I mean every everyone here is great everyone here is a great player but when you've got you know 64 great players it's hard to navigate and and get games get games streamed so we wait till the field comes down a little bit Jay bandar just put up our friend our friend JB into his house just put up 8 million on Black Knight 2000 he's feeling pretty good one of the oldest and newest games in tonight's lineup this is a pretty old game Black Knight 2000 is in the lineup hi Derek oh and the newest

for 20 months thank you welcome in that's a tournament Diva okay and I'm a tournament Darlings I was thinking more like rare unique machines oh well no we have an Orbiter one but that is not ever in a tournament ever we have um what else do we have that's rare we used to have a Ripley's Believe it or not but not anymore what do you want to do all right we have an NBA fast break that's rare to me I can't I can't wait to stream it but they have to move it they have to move it in it's the it's the one game that's at the door and I don't even want to bother streaming games at the door uh I pay good bits to see finals on an Orbiter and that's always the threat we always threaten people to say you know we're gonna put orbital one in the we're gonna put Orbiter one in the uh and the finals if you if you guys keep messing around stop messing around there's Eddie Eddie's playing right now we'll find something to go to and then we'll have some fun watching somebody watching some people's play oh my God we used to have a baby Pac-Man here too that was just a nightmare it I was getting pretty good at it too the Pac-Man part of Baby Pac-Man is insanely hard and the pinball part of Baby Pac-Man is insanely easy so there's that and hopefully I'll have a reason kids to use this guy right here oops what did I just do hopefully I'll have a reason to use this although I don't want to distract Eddie while he's playing but I have my parasol here because we have lights up in the ceiling Small Change mat should make a a little one oh yeah a mini oh that would be so cool no one's tried that actually not even arcade one up not even arcade one up has tried a baby Pac-Man that how sick would that be I'm excited maybe somebody should try that a tiny pack Andre is very very what did he just do hi Derek hi do you wanna you can jump in and chat if you want hi folks you don't have a chair though oh good I'll get it it's too much adrenaline right now anyway uh we're just waiting on the next match that we're gonna be able to get on to uh which I believe is just going to be in a few minutes we're going to be getting on to the next match between Zach and Dan um right now they're playing on Guardians uh so we're just gonna see how their match progresses if they're available then on the next game we're gonna jump into their stream okay um so yeah yeah and then otherwise there's a couple other ones that might finish before that so if they do then we'll be able to jump on those but uh yeah yeah appreciate folks being here paladin says hi Derek hi it's good to see you oh my gosh um actually I will bring I think there is a stool like there's another one um is it back there yeah yeah let me just check this yeah all right let me let me let me put him in the lower thirds now he is Derek space l Derek l and he is with us let's get him in here oh there you are yeah all right well thank you for being here Manu I know Derek comes in hot he's like a hot mic you're more of an announcer than I am seriously um but yeah no this is this has been uh you know frantic but wonderful it's always always fun to get to the finals yeah and uh and show off some good pinball I didn't know these were all duels these are all 1v1 yes yes in the a division uh there is a group stage that happened on Monday the 9 through 24 seated players have a match play okay group round the top two from each of the four groups that play on that Monday match advance to the finals to meet the eight players who receive buys oh wow okay yes do they pair all the buys together or they put a buyer no it's uh well there those are the top eight seeds whatever it's just whatever the the bracket I see uh yeah yeah so we still have right now the only first round uh is our 116 match which it's funny that it's a 1 16 match because it's two amazing players it's Andre masenkov who is our top qualifier on the year and Eric wagons on her is a perennial threat in any pinball term I hate to see any of them lose right right and so uh Andre right now they're actually right behind us are on Iron Man uh no they're on Hoops well they're on Hoops yes so Hoops will be I feel like Eric can play Hoops for days yeah but I mean we I think uh Zach who's in the league Zach wallins recently put up the maximum number of Hoops you can actually score the 999. oh really on on the machine so there's a lot of a lot of Hoops fans in the building tonight 999. um but yeah so if that one if that one gets done first then we'll have whatever the uh winner of that match is gonna face um I believe we can check our bracket here uh that will be the the person Rob Rob Coley who has already already advanced okay so where he's just waiting for his [Music] competitor to to be selected so right now I think there's how do I pre-load this thing here can I pre-load it with the players oh yeah there you go where's uh okay yeah that one won't be ready yet yes okay all right just just once we get the result on this final game all right and then uh yeah then we'll be hopping into action I'm gonna keep an eye just in case keep an eye on stuff and then you let me know where we gotta go yes absolutely absolutely um I'll keep the people entertained I've had some practice at that yeah yeah you're well seasoned um yeah I think we might assuming this one doesn't move along because actually they're getting a ruling right now I'm not sure what issue is happening on what's up anonymous um hey good to see you Al yeah um and yeah that looks bad yeah I think they're getting they're getting a ruling from Jared who's one one of our competitors uh and recent Champion uh in the B division I think that was that in Allentown he was in the B division of the recent tournament pin Fest and uh yeah yeah so fantastic player and fantastic official we're very happy to have him on the judge panel to help with these rulings because we want to get it right to make sure that everything's Fair yeah um it is fresh pee how do you know how does I don't know I know Al from uh pimberg we actually just happened to be in line together while we were waiting to get our badges that was that was wonderful no that's my friend yeah I got I got deep connections to the pinball streaming Community even though now I'm you know I'm an affiliate you didn't you didn't know Jack danger before I did so that's fine yes yeah that was fine oh although he doesn't he doesn't reply to my text anymore he doesn't reply to any text anymore he's a busy designer he is he's uh you know he's on the next level yeah yeah I'm happy I'm happy that he doesn't yeah I'm I'm too low for it yeah he's wonderful and he did a wonderful job with Foo Fighters Foo Fighters is insane not heard one bad thing it's not insane um so yeah they were like you've streamed that here I did yeah it's so much fun man yeah yeah it's really much fun and it is very much you know his his signature is all over that game yeah yeah what's up tilt to try to tilt is an excellent tournament streamer yes try to till has gone way past yeah in terms of location so don't make fun of me Chris yeah please bro who's up where are we um we're gonna keep an eye back there all right you guys can see you guys can see Andre playing yeah that's that's ball two on that match and we're gonna get I'm keeping an eye on it there's a Guardians match happening between Dan and Zach right now judgment will be harsh everybody take a look at the uh the dead Jurassic Park I know that was supposed to be in the a division and there's an issue with one of the node boards oh I know I know all about that yeah I was on the phone with Stern for two days trust me I was the one who swapped the CPUs oh there you go okay well thank you for your service um yeah yeah so bummer we actually had roughly I think five or six games that were 15 games selected for the a division bank that were available exclusively to the a division players I think five or six are out today is 007 in the a division yes yes uh so we might have an opportunity to get on there at some point um yes and then right now actually there is an a division match happening on there between Louise and Nick oh I want to see tilt don't worry don't worry okay and now we're they're on both player two ball two over on hoop so that one might be that one might be the uh the one to watch to get us on to the next match all right because now uh Eric is done so I think it's on Andre and Andre actually does have to come from behind in order to advance I don't know that Andre has ever failed to advance through the first round in an a division final that would suck so much it's it I mean look he's won enough he is he has the most decorated half of all sfpd playoffs that have ever happened have been won by Andre yeah he's never not been in the a division you're you're jinxing him right now you were so freaking holy smokes no he's he's a real deal he's uh and he's only actually the the only um only defeat he ever suffered in the finals is uh against uh Allison O'Neill oh get out that was the only one on one of the owners if Andre was in it he did not win he's otherwise won every time in a head-to-head final Go Allison really it was it was a sight to behold that was a very fun excuse me that was fun all right orange is the SF um colors anyway Chris orange is the color yeah sorry black maybe yeah okay so we're keeping an eye on that I'm watching yeah Dr no still ongoing there uh looks like there's quite the barn burner happening on Guardians I know there were two other players uh Gabe oh all right Andre just I want to say it's doing a mature he locked the balls for the multiball feature on the poops and I think he's now going for the Super Slam which is going to be critical we should be streaming that one I know yes it was you guys it's a little hectic as you can imagine yeah he's very animated as you probably saw from the last like City champ yeah yeah very animated he's fun to watch everybody thinks oh Andre just plays fast he plays fast he's very smart he's not so much fast but he is fast but he's as if he never traps up and thinks no that happens a lot it happens a lot I'm sure I'm sure he has a view I'm sure it'd be interesting to hear him talk about it yeah he does do a lot I think maybe unconsciously in terms of adjusting his body yeah oh I am mimicking him yeah I am absolutely mimicking him yeah yeah I mean just the way he even sort of takes a step slightly to the side and I think that changes his eye line to read the geometry of the Playfield better it is really incredible it's yeah it still kills me that he did not win pinberg 2019. it was that fantastic finish where Keith eventually took it yeah yeah but Andre put on such a clinic on Guardians of the Galaxy on the first game on the Guardians that we set up very difficult right and he absolutely destroyed it and and it was it really looked like he was just on his A-game and he had a bad break on the pinbot game that happened thereafter uh that really then I think gave the opening to Keith of course no sound yeah Andre came in second and I I was a little Misty I was I was I was really pulling for him Instinct versus reaction yeah absolutely yeah okay let's keep an eye oh we we might have one let me go check okay I'm almost gonna give myself a water okay you can you can get me one too you Derek you you Derek you I'm I'm empty he he didn't even hear me how come I can't have a water oh well does anybody have any water all right we're gonna get you guys in front of a game very shortly

California in the hate Ashbury district and we have some wonderful players who are going to get up and running here and there you go you see Gabe there getting underway and then they're actually mid

million he played Seattle and he did play his sort of main yeah uh no actually it's gonna be the next one from that there you go and yeah so the um that first ball uh I I wasn't there to see what babe had done but I saw Luke's ball he did play multiball but had a rough time he scored too much off of that or at least I'm sure he would want it more Gabe moving into the city mode deciding where to go hitting the box to the Rings the spare value it's right in the center there you can see it flashing on a tough bounce there right directly just just off that top that right [Music] bounce to the outlay should be going on to ball two for boot here we just give an update on me behind us we'll say congress still going what's going on there it does seem like he put up quite the ball Freeman the commentary could be boosted uh sure sure we can yeah well I can I can also adjust my microphone you got it Buddies you got it friend you know I always come in huh so and then in the area 51 multiball here so have you you've spent some time with the game yeah I've spent some time with it yeah I I have not seen anyone use a strategy where they're trying to go for 2x Playfield yet okay and how do you qualify that 2x is uh the the right orbit okay down into the um Morocco meter um if I have my whiteboard set up um although I don't know what to clear I'll have to bring it with the clear button is no problem I have to set up a clear button but the Rocco meter is that that that um to the right of where those flashing lights are can you describe that oh sure sure on the uh sort of right above the right slings there's a set of targets on the right side you saw the ball just go around there so that there's a Target on the front of that sort of Island right there you saw that uh it just backhanded it there right yeah but you have to you have to hit the orbit first okay so it has to go up around the right orbit and then down through the rocker meter three times I got it wow that's that's difficult the first time is three times and then you're lighting 2x Playfield all right fantastic um and by you saying that's typical I think now I know why people don't immediately go first I think it kind of just happens sure sure I mean I'm sure that there's there's you know you're a skilled player you can you can get comfortable yeah controlling the ball controlling the shot enough to to make that happen and just just give you an update I think Andre has just finished Andre's done he has two extra balls which he's gonna be plunging out here in the league we just we don't turn the extra balls off just out of need to not have to open up every game and change the settings it's an active arcade but the yeah so you just plunge it out uh you can skillfully plunge if there is a skill shot or anything like that but uh it looks like he's just gonna plunge those out and he finishes somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 million which is how in the heck do you just try hard and you win I it doesn't work for me I try hard I don't know that it's just trying I'm married I think I think Andre's got something else hi Mary good to see you you're doing it Mary's still in it yes okay fantastic you guys know where you guys love our beginners like Mary there she is and we're actually gonna wait let's love it Lord of Kimbo we're gonna keep an eye on what's going on with those other tournaments because we do want to show some of the B division C division finals as they right as we get closer to those show off some of the Fantastic play from those folks it looks like we're getting down to it actually hey hard Luck Lord of Kimbo I guess that's that's that's it all right oh is this that was his ball three no there's ball two okay yeah so you had an extra extra ball and here comes again and let's go on did you know that even though there is no uh dead post you still have to hold the left flipper up for Overdrive oh so you can still activate it does it have an opto there to detect when the ball goes by or what's someone told me that someone in chat correct me but they are saying no we don't play extra balls here itty bitty bug yeah extra balls cannot be played they can be plunged skillfully yes you can set up the game however you like if you want to move a a light move a feature that is totally permitted but once you plunge you walk away we used to have a one flip rule which was uh which was bad well it was it was interesting it was provided some interesting outcomes and there was a time where actually technically if you activated a video mode on your one flip you were permitted to then play the video mode because you weren't flipping and that was that eventually that was changed but I thought that was pretty novel is that you could skillfully get into a video mode in order to extend and and you know potentially on certain games you know really build up an additional amount of points yeah you know fishtails being one that sticks out right yeah that's come on so many points in fishtails on the video mode um yeah anyone correct me if I'm wrong Overdrive starts at 2 million when you hold the left flipper up it increases I believe yeah so there is a you still need to hold that flipper up you still should hold that flipper up when it says hold up the left foot I used to I used to laugh because I was like oh they didn't take out the you know they didn't take out the animation for hold up the left Flipper on a pro you lazy Stern no no they're like no you have to hold the left flip there you go you stupid Manu to which I was really offended because I'm like come on Stern I'm not and then Stern said you know what I noticed how are we doing here with Gabe and Luke oh uh we got Luke and so he's got about 40 no I'm sorry 30 million to go so if he can stay alive here what's up right he's gonna have a chance let's go Luke we got a loop we got a Luke fan but yeah it looks like he's focusing on his Loops here where is he right now is he in the city uh oh that's a tough one he tries anymore he actually did do a pretty good move there to try to fix to save that but it just had a had a tough bounce on the on the back side so that's it and that means that Gabe's gonna be moving on to our next round all right moving on Gabe moving on congratulations to Gabe all right let's keep an eye on our C division as well how many games did free go watch I don't know about 57 yes it's anywhere between 55 and 57. where's that hobo power let's let's go GT all right Derek you tell me where to go and I'll go there all right well I think let's see I'm gonna go validate that that was the I think I think that was the final there and so if there is a match where Gabe is involved I think we'll we might just go to his next uh his next set so let me let me go talk to them okay they were really nice too they allowed me to jump to to set up the the rig mid game not something Manu ever wants to do because you know what Stern does Stearns with a big old fat action button right on right in the middle of the bar big old fat action button right there flashing just flashing is when model leans over to put the rig down right still you know what I'm talking about the modeling so Miles got a little bit of a belly I'm gonna go Plunge and now it's my fault that you just lost San Francisco League finals I'm like yeah guys I don't know how much I want to actually set a rig up mid game but I'm willing to do this for you guys so you guys can see some of my friends play Pinball because they are freaking amazing uh it's rare that I want to interrupt the game heck no my friend I don't care how good you are as a rig uh Navigator even if you breathe on the game the game launches the ball by mistake it's your fault I've hit a button [Laughter] stream Panic park instead you guys see Panic Park hey look at our brand new um Big Buck Hunter too our brand new big hunter makes a ton of cash so I hear I don't I don't do audits here um I clipped it but I'm not posting it I remember back in the 90s like back in the 80s I came across a baby Pac-Man which was a miniature pinball that we we two Bale it's so funny we were just talking about baby Pac-Man in the beginning of the Stream are you were you seriously not here when we were talking about it because we were talking about small change Matt who's one of the he's my friend he makes these small arcades that are not main boxes but actually arcades make small ones and we were talking about small change mats should make a small baby Pac-Man let's see if we can get him to do it Players Number One racing number two exactly yeah so uh talking about earnings while we're waiting for I think I got a game do you have a game he's looking for a game he's looking for a game I'll keep you guys more entertained um let's see too many bored and wow what a pain that would that would be well he can do it I think he can do it if I challenge Small Change Matt in fact where is he we're a small change oh he's not here if I can find small change tell him to come over here I bet you I bet you he'll take that challenge he's the one Mary is competing and she's still in yes Grammy she's still in so let's hope she never sits here okay um he could do any arcade game he could he could uh uh he was the one that with um do you guys know what is his name strange something they built what is a YouTuber name gosh I forgot his name strange company I don't remember his name they made an ATM slot machine they married a slot machine with an ATM strange Parts is it strange parts yes they marry small change and strange Parts married an ATM with a slot machine and it was here and it was crazy we have the technical skill to stream of the game we just can't find the game what do you want oh boy I noticed your co-host is named Derek too yes yes that I'm really his Co I'm really his co-host um Chris so I I These Guys these guys these guys were playing pinball when I was a fetus in my mom's belly which is not true because I'm probably older than these guys and that would I just wanted to say it because I thought it sounded good in my mouth but these guys have me schooled when it comes to like streaming and playing pinball that's why that's why I love to come out and help them out and do the stream of stuff oh my God hi folks all right I think I'm just gonna switch that there while Manu does the moving of the parts good to see everybody here we're gonna get on to the uh semi-final match now between Gabe and Dan so just to set up the the scene here they're gonna be playing on Wizard for game one uh classic em in our secret Juju Gallery it's a special room that has machines provided by the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda California uh all electromechanical machines all set to five balls uh a lot of fun uh my favorite is royal flush it's in that room uh unfortunately it was not in the a bank so I couldn't select it tonight but fantastic nonetheless so we're gonna get set up on that it should be doable it's basically the one machine that has access to the transmitter to show the game in that room it's a little difficult having it nestled in there but we're gonna make it work Manu is a magician with the entire setup here for gold watch so we're gonna get on that for their game one uh that and we may just follow them for the duration just to give you an update Andre did advance I think maybe Manu identified that so he's gonna be facing off against Rob Coley in the quarterfinal match the quarterfinal match will then feed into the semifinals with Nick Yankee who already has punched his ticket into the final four he's just waiting on the victor of the Rob Andre battle so we're gonna see how that goes we're also going to have a five through eight match so we actually uh we need to have the result of the Andre and [Music] Rob battle in order to determine who's that fourth player in there uh and then that match will be the yeah the four players who did not Advance are going to have a chance to get as high as fifth on the on the final standings for the last group we actually don't differentiate so everybody gets tied for I think I think it's uh 10th Place whatever is right in the middle uh we just have everybody tied there uh out of out of convenience so anyway uh very excited to have you all here uh we're excited to get going I think Manu is nearly ready oh yeah he's adjusting the transmitters nope there we go and I might check our Master scene here just to see if we're good and it looks like we are fantastic oh I think Monty's gonna make some slight adjustments for visibility but yeah we're gonna be on Wizard here now uh folks if you're not familiar with wizard it is uh themed around well I guess I guess not technically a license of Tommy but it does feature uh the character of Tommy essentially right there in the front the uh forgetting the lead singer of The Who Um right there in the with in the middle and it does have several references to the story and uh yeah it's very very fun game has a very cool Roger Daltrey thank you so much Laura Kimbo the display or I'm sorry the uh the feature that's really notable here is the flags so you'll see on the top right the flags are set up that you are uh trying to basically activate them and then collect them the way you activate them is either hitting the Left Bank of targets you can see there's three Targets on the left and then there's one on the right uh just next to just to the left of the special and under the flags there the white flags you see that if you hit those flags down uh what you want to do is get the ball back up into the upper Playfield into the saucer and that's then going to drop you into that alley that right alley it's gonna kick the ball down it's working it's working it's great one of the repeated one of the transmitters is flashing so I was gonna oh got it yeah we we had one moment where ours went out actually this this camera stopped uh displaying but but then it came right back yeah all right oh and let's uh update our our names yeah on there all right so Gabe getting started here with his Wizard game and uh oh yeah so I'm setting up the the context here for this battle we have uh oh it looks like actually we may have lost One camera because it looks like that's right so we'll we'll hopefully we might have to stay out of that room that's a problem okay if we can okay yeah yeah we'll uh well I presumably will follow them after after this match and then we will uh what's the easiest way to do this uh oh top yeah semi-finals now we're we're right there perfect I think you got it I think that's does that fix this though uh no it looks like a kitten I thought it was stuck actually also and just watching his body language I I was thinking that he was trying to maybe loosen the ball somehow uh maybe and sometimes we do have issues with the EM machines where uh the ball there's some kind of malformed portion of the in-lane ball will actually just gets stuck sort of floating not on the flipper and it sort of just sits in the lane and uh that occasionally happens on some of these older ones so I thought that might be an issue here um but it looks like I I'm guessing actually that uh Gabe had a pretty good one there I think we are getting the live look on his score I told him to play on because the player shouldn't sit and wait oh of course I think but but they do I mean there's no reason why they shouldn't be working right now yeah yeah I've been having trouble with the Playfield camera so I might have to swap something we'll see yeah yeah no problem and it looks like he had an extra ball so he's collecting a little extra cash there up to 36 000 points sure sure [Music] and so we'll we'll try to keep it move it along here oh and then we got the full no signal at least finally it's honest all right so now down so I keep getting distracted while I'm setting this up so Gabe of course former Champion uh former runner-up as well I think he's got a second place finish Dan is our most recent runner-up finisher uh he was a rookie last season he won our rookie of the Season award and he also I he actually eliminated me in the semi-finals of a division uh I eventually took forth Dan went on to take second against Andre uh in a pretty heated battle it ended up being a three-game sweep but it was not for lack of action it was uh pretty close the whole way down actually finished on Royal flesh that was the final game that decided the uh champion last last time around so I'm sure Dan would like a uh another bite at the Apple so to speak here to uh get back into the into the finals and and potentially to voice the ball and chain which is our large award here that we give out we we give a plaque to all of the top four finishers in each of our a b and c divisions but the ultimate champion of a division actually does receive the ball and chain uh which is a large pinball uh suspended in air on the chain that uh somebody was telling me recently it used to be a wine bottle opener of some kind they Jerry rigged this apparatus onto it and now we have our uh Stanley Cup so to speak it actually does have little chits that have the initials of all of our Champions engraved on it and sent around to actually live at the home of the champion so it's been been fantastic there we go we got some video action back going there and I'll try to indicate to Manu that we are good to go there oh and a tough bounce off the right there so that's gonna put Dan up to looks like he had 13 000. moving on now to ball three and so this is a game where uh definitely the bonus collect is going to be very important hi Hi how are you you want to get in real quick I think I think mommy was yeah he's still assisting us with the yeah yeah on this yeah so Mary's going to join us on the commentary here and uh thank you Manu [Music] Eternal Grammy hello all right so we got uh yep all three action here hey we getting a raid from Lin's arcade thanks guys wonderful I appreciate support support from Monterey yeah I still have I still need to get down there I haven't gotten down there yet either it just looks fantastic and I know I know that um dri does a wonderful job with the broadcast every time so they do a fantastic Michael is just incredible yes yeah all right so now on to ball three so oh I'm sorry Ball Four uh this is a five ball game uh and it's it's moving pretty swiftly right now oh it's wizard that's one of my favorite EMS it is great uh I was just talking about the uh sort of I think bonus collect is very important in this game and especially one of the flags so I was describing the flags earlier each one has a special feature and one of them is double bonus and that one I forget which number it is but it's definitely one of the most important oh yeah for sure for sure it's all about gain it up to the top as much as possible hitting that spinner and then getting those flags is there is there anything in particular about this one that you notice when you play it I noticed that when you plunge the ball and if it gets caught in the saucer and it's you know draining down the right hand side notice specifically for this machine you want to kind of give it a little nudge on the right hand side to get it to the left hand flipper because a lot of times it will drain down the center it's yeah that that feed out of the right uh once you once you've gone to the flag collect right there as we're watching it can be very dicey you don't always get a nice feed out of there yeah yeah and Dan Dan doing some good work here oh and a tough bounce he knew he knew he needed that one back he had so he had his spinner lit he did not have his double bonus the spinner lip is huge that's a hundred per spin if you have that active so he goes up to 34 000 this is ball five here Gabe at 70 roughly 70 000. and there's two other ways you get the one in the four flag if you see up top there's two rollovers uh that are lit green yes those those two will also award you the one in the four if you go over them so there you go there's the collect that's the super bumpers there that yeah up like fireworks yeah and a tough one there that center Shot is so killer I notice on this one one thing that I find very reliable is actually if you do get a feed to the left flipper and maybe it's probably not a safe move but a backhand to the spinner is actually somewhat like repeatable it's repeatable I've definitely seen a lot of players do that move because they see it's it's eat for them if they're not able to get it to the right flipper they try to backhand it from that flipper because like I said it's all about that spinner right there that exact move is what what we're talking about there that that live back flip and and didn't get a good one there I guess actually not a bad one because uh gave him an opportunity to get the the stoppage but goes for the alley pass oh and a tough bounce a rough one so the Gabe taking game one here that's gonna be 82 to 39. and uh money I think if you're willing to go see where they're gonna go next uh they might be coming back here to decide but yeah I think we can just follow this crew nice nice nice so yeah that's a good matchup Gabe versus Dan yes they're both fantastic players yeah Dan only in his second year and already uh into the final four both years final two last year he was he was the runner-up yup him and him and Andre were neck and neck yes and then uh let's see where is Andre right now he and Rob are playing oh I see Rob over there I think there think they're playing Attack From Mars no that's not in the bank I think actually Rob might just be Milling about separately oh and we're seeing the movement here so I think this is actually good to appreciate the work that Manu puts in it's actually moving the broadcast uh this is this is what's happening is it navigating with this giant apparatus through quite the Minefield of people and games and other arcade games that are here in in free gold watch so salute and it looks like they might be coming back here oh maybe he's taking a a little break there so we'll we'll switch to the chat right but yeah this this is uh oh are you are you done or are you still sadly am done I made it to round four but on on Bad Girls player two the person ahead of me they uh we didn't realize they got an extra ball gosh no and I dq'd oh no I'm so sorry to hear that because we awesome we all saw him dream I was like okay that's it that's it and then it was like I go up there and all of a sudden player two scores oh my heart goes out to you [Laughter] that's rough yeah okay next season there's always next season absolutely and you're always in the mix you have been a very solid player so I expect nothing but great things in your Seasons to come I appreciate it yes yeah absolutely I was I was so glad Mary actually was uh we had a spot open up sort of a late spot oh yeah was this last year or was it it was last season it was last season yeah and uh and it was a situation where we had yeah a spot sort of a rare random spot open up where we had to just start to go down the list and a bunch of people said no and and we allowed them to stay on the waiting list usually we removed people after covet right this is the first thing right in Africa right right and uh and Mary was just ready ready and able did I get in I think it was maybe the day before too it was it was down to the wire I just want to know the best the best sport so yes and now now you're in is if once you're in sapd it's on it's on you as long as you just keep showing up like Donkey Kong yeah absolutely so yeah so very very happy to have you in the league here yes um yeah no it's really it's this league has only gotten more intense with time because I mean and you probably see it a lot because you're playing in a lot of the San Francisco tournaments I haven't been as active in those but yeah I mean you're seeing a good level of play go up all over I mean not only here but also teamly where teams are bringing in new players which is fantastic us out of orbit otters as seriously yeah sure yes that's my team League um that I co-captained with Justin Guevara on um we're going down to one team again next team League season We're not gonna be two very good and that that is Shannon Sweetser who's the you're one of the captains of 3x Layfield correct yeah she is the captain in my opinion oh yes yeah to the free gold watch right right absolutely absolutely yeah um yes no I got to contribute I think I think it was 3x Layfield I got to contribute to a win over the free gold watch Team the flip mode Squad uh I was I was called in because I I used to have the team the trust we still have all our merch it's fantastic we have pins uh are you ever gonna come back maybe at some point we'll see it was maybe when my kid is you know off to college you know I got 15 years oh yeah oh yeah absolutely no the the Bay has a hold on me I can't get too far away all right so we're going to game two here for Dan and Gabe and it looks like I imagine Dan was the selector here because he is playing first uh they're playing 007 yeah and so another game another newer game that I I haven't logged as much time on I know a little bit yeah is there is there anything that you're thinking about strategy wise when you step up to the game um so they got a new code not that long itude where if you hold down the left flipper and you plunge we plunge out it feeds to the left flippers now if you want to get like it lights I think like three or four different shots for shots that you can um go for but the one that the majority of the people that want to try to go for is using that upper flipper to get that uh I think that uh henchman oh right right yes that that one is a good skill shot superstar yes that's that side ramp there from from the left upper skill shot I see that right there and then you see Dan here already into his jetpack multiball right off the bat and he seems to be already logging a pretty good pretty good set of scores here that's also because that we got from from uh Stern for the jetpack multiball you're no longer have to do like I think three or four shots now for that one now I think you only have to do two oh interesting Ben likes it and the next one um starts it so it's it's a lot easier to get now oh and it's tough to help definitely definitely was putting some moves on it I I think he's a little disappointed based on his reaction and I probably did not feel that was fully Justified but he did get a warning earlier he did and he was uh he was really struggling I mean as I certainly did last time I played with that left orbit shot that goes to the upper ramp that is just such a killer shot now the what people don't a lot of people don't know about this game is like oh where's the playful multipliers like well that's the tricky part yeah the Playfield multiplier is the Bond girls oh very good from the upper left flipper ah very good okay very hard shot to get so get it great go for it because you're gonna make Bank on points but honestly if you're in tournament you just want to go for those uh multi-balls you want to go for Jetpack if you want to go for the missile I've had a couple solid games where yeah it's it's it's sort of standard in terms of pinball like you just play a multiball maybe while a mode is going and that that can often I mean you have a good multiball I mean that's true of any game but I feel like this game you can put up a respectable score pretty quickly oh yeah have they have several different ways you can go through modes on this game you could do the villains you could do the henchmen you could do Q right right because Q also has modes for you to play um and then yeah that I mean there's depending on how you want to play it all right so we have is it this is a a henchman not a not a uh a villain Professor Dent this is this got it and it looks like he's still okay he's got the main lock lit there there's a first warning so he needs to be a little careful here yeah these games are not they're not set to they're set pretty fairly I wouldn't say that tilts are too tight on these oh yeah yes yeah well I think I think it's fair yeah for for these sort of you know Gabe is hitting these ramps like oh yeah business right but he's it looks like he's not so this is not a mode where you can actually progress the jetpack no so for a lot of the so okay this mode is a traveling shop mode so the he has to basically try to just time it oh I see that the yellow shot is strafing got it got it all right good that will shoot it out he has high stakes going all right that's its mystery so he advances the spinner which is great if he wants to go for um he wants to go for that multiball because there it is there so I think he must be out of the henchman by now he is up no longer in a mode right now so that Center shot now has lit all the other that's the first jackpot that lights all these orange shots and that's seven million each let's get to one shot and I think it's going to be the jet pack surreal surreal just rated us with 10 viewers thank you surreal fantastic [Music] amazing uh and that's that is exactly uh there you go the double and that's exactly what Dan actually was failing to shoot he had that ready to go and there's out of the multiball there but fantastic he's passed damn there so Gabe so so remember folks this is a best of three rounds so Gabe wins he's on to the finals so this is a must-win game for Dan [Applause] okay so he just has to I think hit that ramp that right ramp one more time to start a villain mode is what I saw on the screen so if you repeatedly um ski jump from the from that ramp so we jump the right to knock it into the villain again and again and again ah very good all right so he just started the Argo villain okay and so this this looks like it's got the orange shots lit but it's got the flashing one down down low there we go oh yeah you're exactly right oh and he's trying to put that flipper up to maybe like help get the ball in he's got a got a ball one locked for his missile multiball it's really it's it he he's hitting everything except that shot he's getting a lot of great bounces out of the uh outlanes there too a lot of keeping that ball just away from danger oh I'm just just failing right there to get the uh the ball lock there [Music] so yeah so Lord of Kimbo asking have we talked strategy on bond we talked a little bit about you know progression on the modes oh and there's a nice cool [Music] Disco Volante definition demolition they got his high stakes mystery so let's see what he gets oh according to plan all bonus which is great yeah he's actually he seems to be cooking up a nice bonus here side shot or if he's gonna go for the ramps oh looks he got it again so great it looks like he is he's definitely favoring that for that left shot I think that's gonna be his go-to Forex bonus there you go yeah so that's that bonus helps yeah that's gonna be big okay there's ball two locks so one more he's gonna be into the sort of main multiball there right up the center of the the nuclear warhead multiball does have a name it's it's I call it missile okay yeah yeah so um it's the missile from uh from Russia with Love ah very good thing is what the movie it's from um all right here we go again so boom I think he just he's got one more one more [Music] his accuracy is off the charts right now he is really doing well him started blowfeld another villain so that's another villain that he started okay oh I think now he's qualified let's see yes that's right so he has to still be very careful with his nudging I should also keep an eye on what's going on with our other matches here just make sure everything is moving along swimmingly all right we gotta we gotta update this oops not that one but we're gonna update this Andre did advance that's true Lord akimbo you can't really backhand anything from from the ramps you have to you have to try to get it I did I just did yep pay no mind to the equipment in the corner okay yeah fantastic yeah the the for those who don't know Manu has done Yeoman work to to make tournament yeah yeah but but to get frigo watch into a state where we can reliably you know with with your expertise get get that all ready to go on you know a fairly shoestring budget here we go now over 100 million into bird one that's the name bird one yeah and I'm assuming that this plays you know sort of like a standard Stern uh multibally you're collecting the six jackpot shots and then there's gonna be a super at the end of of the uh the process there he's got one more left on the left orbit it's a ramp shot there and I'm imagining that yeah if he gets that it's gonna re-light everything maybe have 2X after that he gets that ball saved to stay alive there oh but a tough one correct yep oh and just a tough bounce there he's not gonna be able to get there but he does get the super oh and a tough one there but look at that wonderful and excited to see what this uh what this bonus looks like got the high stakes ready for next time can you hold a flipper or no you are allowed to uh hold the flipper in order to activate a uh super skill yes oh well never mind is that what's the super scale here well the creature oh got it okay so if you get lucky into one of those kind of things [ __ ] bad idea though I think he did the right thing yeah because you you get guaranteed points you just do it at the top so that that was that was a smarter move fantastic and when he gets another one there I guess yeah all right let's see oh he did get a skill shot there just the top Lanes yeah yeah and he's getting oh he gets 10 million off the top bumpers there that's pretty good not really good yeah yep all right so we're finally on to ball two here after a fantastic ball one from Gabe there no slouch himself Dan with 56 so we're gonna see what he goes into he performs well under pressure he has been a a Wily player in in these tough situations [Music] he did he did it just my own personal anecdote was I faced him in the semi-final last year he I thought I had him dead to rights on a whirlwind game where I had to buy probably 4 million at one point going into ball three and he was really not had did not seem to have any semblance of control just absolutely zeros in gets the multiball going gets a jackpot and and passes me within gosh it was it was a excruciating like three minutes and watch watching him surgically destroy that so yeah so I I would never count him out and I'm guessing if he if he selected the game actually uh yeah yeah he must I think he might have so he probably chose yes likely he he did and I imagine that means he feels pretty confident on it all right so I think he's one away now maybe [Music] all right so there's a henchman this is a henchman very good and I think we lost the DMD there yeah the feet to the screen so we'll we'll try to keep an eye I'll unfortunately I can't quite see over the oven here for drying the free gold watch shirts that are printed here in case anybody's not aware if we go watch has a wonderful arcade but it's actually a print shop so if you have posters or t-shirts sweaters you'd like printed freegoldwatch.com check out their rates see if they can help you with your corporate swag I'd be able to teacher all right the arcade is for the love exactly yeah yeah Warriors up 14. oh thank you for the update rev Island that feels good all right and a tough tough one I don't think uh I don't think I think the man is I think that was ball three that was about two yeah so he has one more shot hot yes yeah he's I think he got up to it looks like he's roughly around 70 if I can see there I'm thinking yeah he's he's in that neighborhood of 70 million so we'll see how much more production Gabe puts on to put the pressure on damn for this next one Gabe looks like he's oh yeah he's uh waiting for his ball there still bad jerk uh you might have to yeah when when they're ready it looks like into this multiball here so this multiball is off of one of the villain modes it looks like yes this is a bird one and it's not jet pack so it looks like it might be a villain and now we lost another camera I think Monty's just gonna reset our two transmitters hopefully we get a better picture off off those two we have a uh you can't really see over the mountain yes I know but yes we'll uh we'll we'll keep you posted Gabe is still playing oh okay we're back back ah very good and we got one hopefully we get number two you can see Gabe still in this multiball yeah yeah I don't see a villain mode lit for this so I don't think this is a villain multiball okay something else something else so if anybody else knows which one this might be ah there we go ah very good oh all good yes I was that was my next thought actually we'll call it Cherry Bond yeah that's cute I like that oh yeah there you go so it killed the flippers there so just like Cherry Bomb all right Cherry Bomb of course on the Guardians of the Galaxy pinball machine for the folks who are not familiar so what are the requirements to get to the bond uh so you need one henchman one villain bomb girl oh yeah little pup over here look at that puppy hey hey we have a few dogs that actually come to San Francisco pinball Department yes yes that this can be a dog friendly area yeah to bring their pup pups so yes very very sweet most mostly small dogs but although occasionally you know our most improved player this year uh Olivier he actually has this mountain of a dog it's so sweet the sweetest yes the big golden retrievers yeah super sweet once all the hugs and attention yes uh so it's always nice to get a visit from uh from I because single bear and Megan their puppy Milo they're training him to be a good boy ah fantastic so that he can come to sfpd and hang with us soon yes so is he also going to have some custom outer orbit Swag yeah of course we're already in talks with Christian there you go fantastic so Gabe is really putting the number on this game he's up to 340 million back into jetpack here looks like he's got one one more oh there's the super and so I'm imagining it's gonna yeah give them the addaball and now re-lights all of his jackpots Each of which are going to be just under 8 million and so yeah the Gabe is really he's gonna make he's making it as difficult as possible for Dan to have a shot here if if Dan does not uh come up big on his ball three here that'll be it for his night for his season he'll have a chance to get as high as third in the semi-final con uh consolation match but yeah we'll see if we can get some updates on what's going on elsewhere I think we still have let's see do we still have Andre and Rob facing off it's possible oh fantastic there you go so they're on Rack Em Up oh okay so they're still in the uh quarterfinal rounds Rob and yeah ball on rack them up yeah just uh Rob has 135 right now and Andre has 153 [Music] so so so we'll see uh how this game ends pretty soon this is usually a pretty fast game if you're not accustomed to that Powerball right our Rack Em Up does not have a traditional pinball yeah it has a Powerball yes I personally prefer the Powerball yeah it's great I yes it's a ceramic ball for anybody's not familiar it's actually a ceramic ball that uh has very different sort of physics to it whenever you strike it a lot more gentle yes yeah all right yes yes uh so now back to Dan so Gabe pushed it up to 405. Dan's got quite the tall order here he's really gonna have to be careful here uh it looks like oh it is oh oh maybe waste a tilt warning there because he had the ball saved and he got jetpack multiball so he has it looks like he's yes something going for yeah right now he's great he's definitely you can see the frustration on his face that he went for the save no without realizing they had the outline saved so he's he's not he's now gonna be forced to play on eggshells well thankfully he still has that outline phase so even if it goes down the outline now like he he should know now that he can just let it go and he'll yes wow a tough one what happened there oh and I think that's gonna do it that's a tilt and there it is Gabe moving back into the finals congrats today to Gabe well done progressing yeah yeah that's that's the game there with the walk off to the next yeah yeah we should check on our B and C's also to see if we're getting close to a final there because we do want to show off some of that action let's see what the standings look like oh yeah I think we're actually going to be on the precipice of maybe a final B division match yeah so we got Jose we got Jamie we got Bennett we got Matthew and we got Tim yes in the in the top five they're still alive yeah and they are they're all is it's four six strikes are out in in that one uh we had three players at five strikes two players at four strikes it's coming down to the wire so we're gonna see I think we'll get on that B division Final in just a moment let's go to C and it looks like uh yeah we're getting close as well a lot of people with five strikes so Eddie only has two right now amazing this is crazy he's doing great yeah so yeah so we'll see uh see how those shake out so we can bring you some of that action you can see the a division bracket here you can see see that oh here I'm gonna update that to show that uh Gabe has advanced so it looks like so Gabe's going to the house Gabe is in the finals game is in the finals and so so we got some time though because we're actually waiting on this quarterfinal match to still finish between Rob and Andre that's going to turn into uh whoever wins that facing off against Nick who's already punched his tickets so they just finished on Rack Em Up Rob one 606 to 270. Fantastic [Music] all right and it looks like Andre is making his selection I mean so it's at least game two I think actually this might be going to game three and we're gonna follow that action yeah so we're gonna [Music] I'm gonna I'm just gonna let them know [Music] um how y'all crazy kids doing out there in the interwebs so what game are they on Andre is still in the process of selecting you can see him behind there so the way we manage it is we actually have all the games listed oh let me see what they think [Music] another day [Music] and uh whoever wins as you see whoever wins Rob versus Andre in this uh in this quarterfinals we'll be playing Nick in the semi-finals and then um whoever wins in the semi-finals will be playing Gabe in the finals so we still have a pretty long night ahead of us ladies and gents all right well the dubs won 121 to 106. thank god um they are still in their playoff series as well and they are going to be going on to game six in La which I believe is this Friday here's hoping for all you tubs fans here's hoping for all you Lakers fans we got Rusty on that game so I was just telling everybody that The Debs won ah fantastic they won dubs baby so they're they're continuing on they're going to game six in La Friday yeah yeah this will this will be uh yeah very exciting yeah if they pull it out if they can pull off the 3-1 upset uh again against LeBron that'll exercise all the Demons of uh of the past all right uh I think let's take a look I think we may be good to go are we back on Dr no yes we are all right we're back on Dr No with Andre and Rob OTS yeah if you want to get back on not really not really all right Manu doesn't love you guys anymore I just I just like to be respectful this is mano's doing a a Mitzvah here yeah well you're good at many things absolutely all right well fantastic let's get it going here so we got Andre facing off against Rob Coley both Veterans of the league let me read that up the uh Andre of course defending Champion so he's he's always playing to win no matter what and Rob's our number one bell ringer yes that's right oh my goodness we did forget it it's it's the you know that's why he's doing so well tonight he didn't ring the bell yeah you need to focus yeah we have a special Bell it has a gavel actually on the end of it and we always ring that we say let's get ready for pinball and Rob rings that Bell uh so yeah so happy to uh to see Rob doing really well I think he this might be one of his best finishes already I think so yeah he's been having a great yes yes always always a great player but uh let's see let's see if he can leg it out here with with Andre I always try to stay after League to play with him because he always likes to practice on Attack From Mars oh yeah because that's his favorite game absolutely and he says he is yet to become president of the universe right right he is so close but no dice all right on Andre not really uh it's breaking a lot actually early on in the ball here looks like he's just focused on on qualifying multiball there the bird one multiball and a tough tough drain there wow almost nearly a power outline there yeah all right so not much doing there on Ball one so Rob now thinking about it I like the the the refracting light off of the player camera it looks it looks very very impressive there there's some light that's perfectly placed right there on the game that's like shining right into the camera all right Rob so Rob a um known for being a a great player I know I know he he gets tense so I I know he's doing whatever it takes just to keep keep calm in a high pressure situation like this against a great player all right get control breathe gotta breathe yeah taking a minute to just calm down so yeah I was I was about to say I I'm guessing he's going to maybe start on that uh multiball progress there so he now has his uh multiball lit for bird one and he's just got ball one yeah that's beautiful sends it up into the pops there I don't think he's even gonna try to go for a mode [Music] and rob a similar to Andre a a very on the Fly player you're not going to see a lot of trapping a lot of uh it's gonna be a lot of live flips a lot of quick quick tricks reactions there's number two for bird again off of a a a live flip right there just to get it up there now let's see I do think I oh yeah it does look you're right that he's probably just going right for the multiball yeah because he does have his villain qualified there at the right right rant oh now it looks like it may be considering I honestly he just has one more Trey there it is all right he has third one multiball going we already got a double track pod of the two mil yeah it's against Andre especially on the modern games the one thing I think you have to keep in mind is that you know he's never he's he he might have one bad ball he's never gonna have three no I mean it's I guess it's possible but so if like if he is like horrible on his first ball that says nothing guys right that means nothing and and I think in terms of strategy you sort of have to think about yeah what what is going to be the most sustainable way to score points you know knowing that you're going up against somebody who is liable at any time to put up you know a giant score yeah uh I believe has the GC currently on this machine puts more pressure on him more pressure put on him the more likely he's gonna be stressed to make those important shots yeah yep and the better opportunity you have of possibly winning against him not that I don't want to see Andre in the finals it's that I always root for the underdog absolutely absolutely I've seen Andre win so many times I kind of want to see yeah yeah the guy when these these these times it is exciting to see yeah other other players when they take on Andre I mean I think that's a lot of folks I mentioned earlier that you know the only person who has defeated Andre one on one in the finals is Allison O'Neal really she's the one person she's also one of the few shout out to my girl I think she's also the only player in sapd history who has won all three divisions she has a c a b and a man um so one of the one of the most decorated players in league history I miss I miss you yes I heard yes yes I gave my Sensei Brian O'Neill is my pinball Sensei yes I guess he he grew me up in the pinball industry um I I gave him a talking to oh yeah he wasn't coming I was like well are you coming to cax and he's like I don't I was like no you're not coming below die you're coming to cats there you go that Mary hath spoken exactly like you have no choice I love it and and and other folks if if you're not aware definitely come out to uh Lodi coming up this month is the Golden State pinball Festival that's going to be in a week and a half right no it's next weekend next right right so a week and a half from right now yes next Friday yes and so very exciting big tournament it's gonna be happening there uh I think a herb style right it's like best game format best game for the pro um we'll have A and B division playoffs yeah so if you don't make it in a you do have an opportunity to be in be the division playoffs and then we'll have a women's tournament okay fantastic of a Juniors tournament okay and we're also gonna have a early Friday match play tournament oh great yeah so if you're able to get the Friday off from work and you guys want to come up early Friday um all their pyramids are listed online website that you can go to to look at the the timetables for those but it's just a super fun time yeah because there's these camping fairgrounds right next to the gymnasiums where they will have most of all the machines and the tournaments happening yep and if sadly all the all the campground has been booked up because they they do those lots very early sure sure you can bring your own camper your own tent your own RV and if you have your own pinball machines at home you can bring them to the festival and a lot of times I know last year Gene yeah Gene X Gen X uh he did a pin golf tournament oh fantastic and they're all throughout the campgrounds oh fun fun so like each each Campground has a spot for you to try to explore the whole hole in one yes which was a lot of fun yes so just just to acknowledge we had a tilt while we were talking there we had an Andre tilt and and it was a so this does make it very interesting this makes it very interesting because it definitely I don't want Rob to get it in his head that oh my God I might actually have this but I mean it's it is Gonna Bake if he can put up big points in this ball no I'll get it he's a very reactive player right right as am I yeah so so here's here's what I'm what I'm seeing here it looks like he's still favoring the multiball strategy yeah and I and I think that yeah probably what he's thinking is what what can I do right now to just kind of bolster the the score for bird one again yeah and actually I think he should be looking at his far left I I don't even think he's noticing that pack it's a jet pack he just needs to hit was that one or two more times it's possible he just doesn't trust it jackpack I is that a three or a two ball multiball uh I think it's a three is it all right well he said I think I think it's a two I think it's okay though maybe maybe that's what I noticed before because I've I was thinking I saw a gameplay with a so he had an extra ball so he gets to try to get a couple more points in there yeah good strategy food all day right right so it I think it's gonna be interesting so if Andre already in a game three you know need to perform setting when he was on hoops uh absolutely destroyed the game at that point so I I'm thinking you know he's again in that scenario he's a great story player I I I tend to think we're going to see something special here I think so too he's wearing his Grand Champion t-shirt so [Music] for his extra call so wow he's getting a lot of value off those pops 9x out of ten nine times out of ten the ball goes through the right lane yeah maleko you are absolutely right also good to see you Andre changing Stratton his head yeah it I know Andre that he's he's thinking a lot right now he's trying to figure out where he's gonna go yep I I have to imagine he's going right for multiball because he's a fantastic multiball player so if you can get in yeah with the cops so he can get super pops all right yeah and if that pack is ready for him one thing one thing that is notable I I I'd have to check the records I don't know that we've ever had a semi-final without ah there it is okay there it is [Applause] he has packed multiball going right now and it looks like he's he's trying for that side ramp there's a 6.3 Million jackpot so now all of them are gonna be pegged at that value all right and this is this is exactly where he needs to be where he wants to be he's a fantastic multiball player ball save is about to expire up to 50. one more jackpot's gonna put him on top of Rob's score yep so there he is he finally passes Rob there and he has the Super pops going so each of them are like 100k each every pop he hits so all right let's see that's a lot of points there's 10 for the super and then we are gonna see nice relit all of his jackpots there is gonna be 6.3 again for each of those yeah and this this is exactly what we were expecting is if he can get into the multiball yeah I am and it looks like he's ready with another double there it is there's another 12 and then he's got the strafing shots so that's that's what there's a strafing shot for 15 that's going to re-light his his jackpots again up to six three this is fantastic I mean Andre disciple now absolutely Andre just has always shown a special ability to just rise to the moment if if you ever have the opportunity to play him in a tournament you will learn so much all right there's a double drain that was a double drain wow 181. Okay so not were you posting about that on social media so the one thing I'll say here I mean yes fantastic for Andre to put himself at least in a position where he has to force the issue not at least the way I see it it's it's not a big league it's not yeah it's not insurmountable it's not insurmountable yeah that's what Rob has to keep in his Rob has to keep that in his head it's like okay well yeah I think that's one thing is that he doesn't seem to be paying attention to anything jetpack anything mode you can't I'll enjoy would have well not not not during not during the Vault yeah all right let's let's see so he's struggling to get oh and there's a tough one there is uh so yeah we're gonna be looking for wherever uh Andre is going with uh Nick that's gonna be our next Duo and we're gonna we're gonna follow them oops excuse me oh yeah yeah yeah here we'll we'll go uh is that uh scores yes fantastic all right so yeah yeah thank you oh yes um here you got your your thing yes let's uh I think I have the ability here um to let's see I just want to refresh this for our good people who are watching us uh I think that's just a capture let me just go back down here but yeah the ah scoreboard scene oh here we go where are we looking standing ah here we go uh okay and then yeah oh actually I have to update it that's why it's not going to show us anything new yet all right so let's uh refresh this I am entering the result Andre over Rob so Rob now is gonna face off against Dan for the 3-4 battle Andre and Nick getting ready to to face off there so let's uh refresh this now well uh B division is down to its final three we have Ben son and Jamie in the top three okay with five strikes so we might actually uh maybe try to get over to that although this now now it's not uh I'll have to I'll have to ask mono about refreshing this I thought I thought it should Refresh on the on the activation there uh refresh there we go fantastic all right so you can see Gabe Gabe has been waiting a while now I I mean Nick has been waiting a while oh yeah yeah so we'll see what happens Andre behind us getting ready to make his selection yep um so yeah you can see there we got Andre and Nick so I'm gonna make sure I actually might see if uh you said that B division is on a final match let's see if maybe we can get on that so so Jose and Matthew tied for fourth place okay so they'll probably be doing a tie breaker for who will get that fourth place okay very good very good um but Bennett Tim and Jamie are still in the throes of it they are playing on Royal Flush oh they're already going got it royal flush fantastic and that's probably gonna be that's it the deciding factor right there so yeah B division is almost almost over guys wow and Eddie who had previously only the two strikes in the C division now up to five he's on the precipice so he's got to win win out basically to have a chance at uh grabbing some Hardware there oh wow yeah or actually he might be guaranteed at least a piece of it but we'll see yeah very interesting we'll see what happens at five and then we have cold Eddie and Jake above Jonathan so yeah very exciting here um all right so I guess we'll uh we're gonna get on Foo Fighters it's gonna be the first match between Nick Yankee and Andre massinkov let's see I love that game I've learned the term mass and coffin yes yes uh rice asks that if you're a new Andre a believer uh you should look back on some of his old tournament streams if if there's any like Library about that because yeah some of the some of the games he's playing the password crazy really fantastic yes crazy um let's see I think we are ready to go check out our scene here oh you can see mommy just getting getting everything set there it looks like maybe they had to reset the game oh they probably did that proactively I think just to reset everything for the brand new match here I'm excited I saw Foo Fighters because this is one of my new favorite games right now one uh yes the best this thing his silver umbrella oh right right because he's he's like Prince and he's making it rain but yes no Foo Fighters is definitely a great pinball machine it's been so much fun playing that in league and also just on downtime um just the shots are just so much fun to make and it's it's just a very well designed game I really like the skill shot aspect where you can basically have an Infinity skill shot for as long as you keep you keep hitting those two shots over and over and over for people who played this game as you know you the modes are certain cities that you're having your concerts in correct so there's certain strategies that people have with which cities to choose to get them to uh DC or I think is it Austin or DC um for the for for those you know Supreme modes what is your go-to strategy what cities do you like to go for ouch to get the fastest to to DC or I I've started to do Los Angeles believe it or not because it's just ramps and then uh if I can if I can do Los Angeles that means I'm closer to error 51 because I hit that ramp maybe three times true then I'm going New Orleans because New Orleans is crazy easy but you don't get a lot of value if you don't do it the right way um what about Seattle and Seattle yeah I like Seattle too but if you don't if I can't okay if I can't survive Los Angeles I'm going to play a different game because screw that game I love the game but yeah but there you have it it's supposed to be like really cool when I do that and it says loading and then I can in the background I can kind of sneak my way through is this a finals the semi-finals between Nick and Andre got it game one and then whoever wins this matchup will play Gabe in the finals all right so whoever wins playing the game Monster which Gabe I talked to him earlier and he really wants that trophy he really wants that win and a matchup between Gabe and Andre would be a fun matchup as well as Nick and Gabe this thing never seems to update the way I wanted to update appreciation maybe it feels neglected you know what I don't know Laura Kimbo says Chicago is the most points but it's a hurry up mode so it's tough Chicago has the most points yes but it's a hurry up mode so it's tough you got to shoot those shots pretty quickly I don't think I ever tried oh of course Chicago duh yes Dern I'm gonna try one more time to get this to actually so Andre uh pretty good at this one too he is he's been he's been getting the big high scores on this machine well he wiped out my 540 whatever like the next day I don't care if I got a score in here for more than 12 hours I'm happy here I'm gonna do I'm gonna do the manual way then oh that that didn't even work either okay um so he's doing uh Seattle yeah he's doing Seattle right now just to get I guess through it um like I mentioned to Derek earlier no one seems to deterministically go he's got his Overlord shot ready no one seems to deterministically go for the 2x play field so I think I think I'm gonna try that so I can get my name up on the game again supposed to be your mouth yeah oh no because I think you're having them have them on backwards yeah you have them on backwards the whole time there you go everybody say hi to Mary can you guys carry better now I apologize that's okay I apologize you're very boisterous is that a word all right yes that's a word is it boisterous a boisterous boisterous B with a B Lord of Kimball says we heard you hop fine the whole time yeah very well um I get that from my mother he is into his second City and he has actually gone for uh where is he right now where is he Mary is that Chicago he Roswell I can't tell it's like your camera doesn't zoom in close enough to the board I know those little tiny inserts you can't read them oh when he has the ball stuck all right that's gonna search that's gonna search but that's gonna screw up his uh his van um upgrades but nope he doesn't care he's not going for Van upgrades nope when you're Andre you don't need to upgrade the van right down the middle 63 is pretty good to start so did you know that the Foo Fighters released some uh some new music oh good for them yep yep new music you mean new 90s music it actually does sound like they're 95. it does it does um one of these things is not like the other one of these things is um but yes it's their new single called rescued if you guys haven't checked it out you should check it out if you're a Foo Fighters fan it's uh yes Rip Taylor Hawkins um I was very happy they kept kept him in this game um Andrew did have a good ball one like he's he's in all the animation as you can see from the screen and it's just a good tribute to him I think great great drummer fantastic hold the flipper hold the flipper oh oh people don't know how to hold the flipper they don't know to hold the flipper you still gotta hold that flipper up and the overall if you hold if you hold the flipper do you get points I think you you keep points or something about points you keep them you maintain them you do something you don't just get the ball back you yeah says Andre is like the personification of containing ADHD versus Nick who is completely gone so so Joseph says yeah you get uh two million points if you can hold up that flipper that's a decent amount of points so they didn't just leave the asset in the Pro that says because the screen actually says hold the left flipper up hi Dan would you like to commentate you sure say hi to say hi to the people Dan this is Dan Dempsey hey these names are an evaliant effort tonight it was still you made it to at least the semi-finals so there you go there you go take that you didn't DQ out of your uh your thing like me yes so I was on Bad Girls in round four of B division and I saw the play before me drain and it's one of those Godly machines that doesn't clearly tell you like oh if they get an extra ball or not yeah thinking it was my turn yeah so horrible way to end the night all right we're looking at a pretty close game right now we're looking about that think about that Derek about that for the DQ for people playing someone's extra ball it should be on the player who didn't play their extra ball not the person afterwards bring it down a couple of notches Mary I still have it backwards you or me and I'm you but that's okay I'm gonna keep it that way see the names I'm very boisterous I do apologize so that's why I had it on the other side so that way I could project and you guys wouldn't have a um did Andre just lose no but Nick it's okay so Nick needs it's okay let's get back to the game and we would just be butt hurt about it for for tonight you'd be butt hurt let's get back to the game uh uh Nick has a chance here at uh so Andre drained at 69. um all right well you you saw it last time it only takes one ball for him to well that's ball three though oh that is oh that's ball too about to say it's like yeah there's also game one so they still have it decent decent way for this uh the semi-finals match all right where are we gonna go where are we gonna go Los Angeles that's right give me those Area 51 ramps if you own the premium you have to go up to the top if you're on the premium you go up to the top to uh he's so he's so animated it's great animated like like like this I missed those Saturday morning cartoons a Redemption of a ramp with um one of the overlord shots and he finishes he finishes Los Angeles all right so Nick is at 130. so he's finished two cities already I think because you're too lit oh ouch oh that just sucks when you can't get back in the van okay well I wanna I wanna take a break I'm gonna take a break so I'm gonna head out I'm gonna practice some more pinball guys thank you Mary Mary Smith everyone my sister Mary Smith fantastic that's right so we're gonna have our B and C Awards uh coming up after this game which uh Andre's Andre's gonna be doing his darndest to to keep this alive but uh yeah the BNC Awards coming up right after this game it's uh wonderful to be able to hand out we hand out many awards here on the finals for sfpd for the top four from each division of a b and c each get an award of course talked about the ball and chain and then we have our three additional awards for most improved the spirit award and the Rookie of the Season nice so yeah it's it's very good oh thank you for updating my title there yeah fantastic all right so Andre just visited uh uh I can't remember which which city that was and he just picks up he uses the uses the center button little button his little bomb button Chicago that was Chicago yes Chicago is good points too apparently all right so we're waiting on the release here trying to get trying to get back in the van three white shots he's got 43 million to go to catch up to have a stuck ball no no I think uh does he have it in the oh no it might be does Andre have to go go people oh he's uh asking I think there was somebody in his periphery he's asking to move that is not unheard of um where the uh Andre has asked for some yeah somebody forbearance which which is understandable in a situation like this I understand it now I I didn't understand it before sure sure what classic Dre oh there we go oh man a good good quick save there so now this is oh he's got he's got that ready I think that's and there's a an awful awful feed from the plunger that goes right into the right out lane a tough one so Nick taking game one wow all right all right so we're gonna take a break real quick to do our B and C award ceremony all right you start the mic I'll see if it's live I'm gonna see if I can get this let's see if we can we can shoot this for you I'm gonna take this camera and turn it around um do we have a remote scene Laura Kimbo thank you for the MPT emotes heck yeah um what just happened wait wait bring me back bring me back I know what to do so false alarm there oh no not yet yeah we're gonna we're going to uh hold on that while the apparently the C division is still sorting itself out it has not settled on the final match the final match is still being played right now to determine the final standing so we're gonna wait on that uh so we're gonna allow our players to move on to the next one so I think we're just waiting uh ah we're going to Toy Story oh whoa all right I'll be back all right so Bonnie's gonna get that all set up moving over there so right now just to update you we're in the semi-finals of the San Francisco pinball Department Andre massinkov versus Nick Yankee uh Nick with the game one win on Foo Fighters so we're moving on to game two here oh okay I gotta go tell Manu excuse me folks I just don't don't want him to move over there all right it's a beautiful thing it is all right folks if you saw that there you could see that Manu was getting in position here for our game two of the semi-final here between Mick and Andre we're going to be on Iron Man there's an Iron Man Vault Edition uh one of the most brutal games actually the game that I was eliminated on earlier tonight by Nick so excited to see what he can do here of course Andre always a threat on a game like this it'd be interesting to see what happens if Andre is able to take the win here I would imagine nick uh I haven't looked at his sheet in a little while but I imagine he might go for something that maybe has a little more variance maybe a em or maybe a solid state uh depending on his his game knowledge I I I feel like you sometimes you just feel like your chances are a little bit better with a game that introduces some of those more random factors uh rather than a game that you can feel a little bit more confident that Andre might be able to control like a modern Stern uh DMD level game so we're gonna get we're gonna get started in just a moment I see Manu making adjustments I think we could probably move the master scene over oh excuse me where you are Andy Studio mode so I'm just gonna get that ready to go let's go back to the master scene and there you go fantastic Andre and Nick and uh getting some of that shade you can see that behind there or I guess you can't see yeah I guess you can see it just in the small screen there getting the shade up to protect against the light bouncing there I didn't get the lamp but the lamp's not in the play field so it's fine okay fantastic I imagine the player is also sort of appreciate that and it reduces some of the glare helps a little bit yeah I hope the umbrella's not too not big enough yeah yeah well thank you thank you for for bringing that that's a Carl D'Python Anghelo thing oh yeah that um Neil um gosh I forgot his name I'm sorry Neil I forgot your last name but is it another pinball streamer or yeah uh yeah uh a very rich pinball guy okay love Rich pinball guys uh just to answer your pinball uh Andre did pick Foo Fighters so that was an Andre pick and Andre did pick uh Iron Man here you just hit warmonger right in the center right hit warmonger right in the center right oh yeah you mean to start it right so that that Target uh correct yes yeah you actually want to hit him you want to you want to glance them actually oh you yeah for the drones right when you're collecting you collect all the drones you can see those uh a war Monger no warmonger is the guy that comes up in the middle oh sorry yes you're right sorry I was thinking more machines yes and I'm just saying you want to glance him so that it doesn't come screaming back yes or that the magnet doesn't get it I think though on this one the magnet may be deactivated right now because I I you know we were playing earlier and really they deactivated yeah seeing a bunch of hits on him and not seeing any magnet action attack deactivated yeah maybe it just doesn't work anymore possibly all right so now we're moving on to Nick here for his ball one yeah Dr Curley Texas and there's no there's no post at the top so nobody's ever getting a uh uh you have to very skillfully plunge if you want to get that uh in fact uh first poetic there's a a virtual version of this that was created that uh when I played it on my stream I disabled the post oh very good yeah like wait where's the post that goes no I'm playing it like Rico watch this yeah I mean that's you know you want a challenge I want a challenge and you can see this game is as as uh akimbo mentioned earlier brutal uh Nick would be a hair over 500 000 there so we're gonna see I think a very low scoring match there's a super skill so Andre 250. Andre for a million um what is the super skill on this uh I think it's a no uh if you don't flip like a hands-free yeah yeah basically oh wow but uh or or I don't know maybe he had something down and he just nailed it but yeah he he nailed that and picked up a million for that is anybody in chat know what that was and that million it could potentially go very far million is huge oh he's not okay somebody needs to ah he is I gotta keep going over there and fixing the room uh maybe flipper hold super but taking the lit Top Lane yeah like maybe a hands-free skill shot all right so Nick working here oh God that's that's trouble and yeah he's just that was it anything was that it no no no you got one more so yeah Andre I mean it feels like Andre is you know he's getting at least something each ball which is putting him in a good spot but yeah this game is just so awful that it's it's really it's gonna be on nicked it and I'm expecting Andre to do something magical here as he's wanting to he just did like he's that's he threw up signs yeah so we'll see if if Andre can push this you know into the 10 15 million I think he's gonna feel pretty confident if he can push it even further than that I think it's almost guaranteed when even if even if Nick has a decent ball three I think I remember when Brian uh Brian O'Neal beat Carl D'Python Anghelo and I think Brian had 12 million oh yeah yeah Andre getting getting pumped up here all right and you can see he Nails it there and and nothing no no uh magnets no magnet that's a lot of hits a lot of dangerous Target right in your face hits all right he's got two more to go oh he misses actually gets the war machine shot he's in he's in danger there gets control get it one more one more there it is got it now it goes down and he has to hit Spinners right bring it back so yeah spinner will lift the monger and now it's gonna be six hits to uh put the Monger back down the center shot after that is going to be the uh three million the three million super so you still got all three balls here there's another hit on the Monger there losing one most Reigns have not been fed in a while yeah the left and right are hungry a wonderful use of the uh just the tip of the flipper there to keep that here's your sister here's your three million did he get it nope nope missed it there he's got it ready to go I think he's gonna he might even try to get some control here there it is got it beautiful so now he's gonna go right back to the Spinners in order to lift that back up so yeah 16. so this is exactly where everybody wants yeah what he wants you you're asking me for like 12. no I I I I was I just know Andre he's always he's always able to pull it out like he's just really it's not often that he's gonna be unable to just like put up what he needs to do and so here he's already now four to his uh I went to the uh Jericho was that yeah Mark uh yeah Mark six um I mean is that Mark four right now he's gonna have to war machine thing and he's got war machine ready that's gonna be a scary one there oh gosh but a great ball though come on come on what pinball game this is Steely Dan this is Iron Man Vault Edition a Stern Pinball Machine serious found my virtual Mentor absolutely it is uh it's incredible to watch Andre flip sometimes all right so Nick is going to be doing everything he can to put this ball into a multiball into a high scoring mode if you could get a bogey going that'd be great but uh this the the ramps have just not been reliable today I see more left and right drains on Iron Man than Center absolutely absolutely there we go good dead bounce there to keep that alive one more to bring the Monger up if he can get into Monger it's going to give him a shot here oh a nice uh the quick shots there to keep that alive oh he gets the reject oh gosh nope I knew it as soon as he moved it again it was going to be too much so like that's even now one game a piece so we're gonna see uh what is Nick gonna go for I I think we well hold on I'm gonna check right you're welcome lovely and SFS yes sfpds they're all friendly but brutal Association votes who have done incredible tonight had a wonderful set of matches we want to give them their Awards before we proceed with the last of the semi-final we have one more semi-final game to play before it's gonna be the a division finals so very

so fun to give out the BNC Awards um very exciting it's always exciting especially folks to get hardware for the first time that was actually my my experience last season I finally got into the top fours top four in a and finally got one of those plaques if you saw on the broadcast there these are plaques designed by Jeremy Williams one of the members long time members of the sfpd uh fantastic guy he actually is responsible for many mods two games that you might know uh the television on top of Ghostbusters and Simpsons that shows the actual show in the movie um the Tron the little Tron game if you ever played Tron and it has a little in cabinet uh uh Tron replica game that's uh sort of doing the attract mode on Loop he innovated that so fantastic work and he does these wonderful wood cut and plastic cut sort of mixed media awards that have become the standard the gold standard for uh pinball Awards in Miami mine so very excited to give those out and now we only have four more to give out because we have to get down to our a division finals here so we got our final match of the semi-finals is going to be between Nick and Andre on Wizard so we're going back to the room uh manu's doing his best to get everything set uh he's got to adjust the transmitters and whatnot so it's gonna be wonderful uh and oh yeah anarath uh close up I hope you saw that close-up of the trophies we have of the blacks we have uh from from Jeremy there uh we'll show them off one more time when we do the a division awards ceremony but yes it's it is fantastic oh my gosh really exciting to have this uh this final moving along and and you know it's 10 30 now I think likely we'll get done you know close to 11 30 I'm guessing uh you know that's sort of typical for I think the the sfpd finals we have to try to compress basically all the finals into this afternoon this evening yeah yeah oh here's Shannon come and sit I was just talking about the uh the finals here just like the the chaos of doing it on a Wednesday night it's always chaotic yeah yeah it's intense it's getting getting uh it's getting a little lonelier though everybody is getting their prizes and heading home yeah one of the benefits of how we used to run it was we used to have the ability to actually rent the shop effectively so we had the shop on a weekend yeah so we could do a day-long event and yeah everybody really stuck around toward the very end you had these big crowds kind of staying to watch yeah watch is very popular now I know right I love it yes I have people tell me all the time you know I play Pinball a lot but they go hey have you heard of this place like it's this magical place it's like by the park it's don't know it has a funny name I'm like yeah yeah for real watches yeah yeah it's our clubhouse we love it it's it's the best so yeah so uh very happy to have this it still has our our home for sfpb and uh yeah we make it work we make it work we make it work um let's see I think we might be ready oh very good looking good looks like cameras are working well so this season was fun I I really enjoyed the season yeah there were a lot of new people who came in it was a big implex yeah and our two rookie rookies that played I don't think we we filmed it but it was right two rookies played Luke Ramirez new to league and Jackie Olson noodle league and they just they made it into the A's yeah they made it through yes thick thick with thieves that's super hard to do I can't I can't imagine coming in my first season and playing that one yeah well it's crazy that has become such a trend in sfpd it's basically the new people are joining are seasoned players yeah right right we have a we have currently 43 people deep yeah um and and yeah not a lot of people like to leave anymore I think you know after we had a lot of people leave after covet and the like but I think with the uh sort of settlement of you know kind of life as it is now I think we've had a lot less attrition uh and so yeah so it's it's becoming a hot ticket and also people know if they don't held their spot you have to wait you have to wait to get back right right that's where we're at now also like I mean you don't have to wait two years I think at the highest it was two years it was yeah I think the most recently we had somebody who's almost two and a half who got in finally um yeah I I can't I can't believe it I mean I think it's I think it's really interesting that there are these players who you think would be in the league and but they just haven't they're just still waiting they're just right they're sitting in the the wings yes yes so every season is kind of interesting because you have these people come in they're not novices but you do have the novices too so people are totally who just oh yeah I saw this thing it looked cool I signed up what's gonna happen to me I mean that was my experience coming into League yeah let's see what happens now this will be interesting I wonder if that is the case where um Nick will go I'm guessing he picked the EM to give himself maybe a little bit more of uh that was what I guess Andre was my opponent right right and especially in a winner go home because there's not a lot of eye lines yeah yes yes uh we did his head with the mirrors it's just he's in his own eyes right right he's yelling at himself we actually did I think um I think Harvey had his dog nearby oh yeah yeah he said literature was dancing yeah make that dog stop dancing which that's a new one um even for Andre that was that was a fresh take um so yeah so we'll see I we we can't hear what's going on over there but I think uh you know Andre seems to be indicating yeah there might be some issue um well I don't see any uh I guess it's hard to tell looks like maybe there's a hundred points that are on the board right now and uh we can try to try to see if there's some issue that's causing a you know a scoring something like that looks like they're maybe going to put some credits in to test it Jared's on the case and Jared pinball Musical it's still in Development I've been extremely derelict in getting my script together which uh well there's a writer strike right now right right yeah that I should rely on that I should rely on that as as my justification um but the yeah so it's still you know in in process at some point I will get something together that I can you know get a reading done so yeah uh well yeah I think it's once I have it in some semblance of like a presentable form I I'll definitely do it if anybody's not familiar I wrote a sort of treatment of a musical that I then performed it's actually on YouTube you won I did it was a competition yes it was it was sort of a shark tank for musicals here in San Francisco put on by awesome theaters wonderful theater group in the Bay Area it does a lot of weird theater that's like their calling card and so it was me doing pinball the musical which I I made I made great pains to make sure it's not like Tommy it's not about playing Pinball it's about being pinball I mean honestly I I could use a second musical with pinball in it just so that people when I tell them I play Pinball don't have one thing yeah yeah I like multiple things for them I know that too that definitely I feel like that's a common gripe right of the pinballer is the oh Tommy yeah there's four things I've noticed more people they've seen the Drunk History oh yes yes so I've had friends who are like oh like the Drunk History yeah yeah yeah and then there was the recent in me film right right about the same story same story yeah but with a touching touching Edge yes I mean I haven't seen it yet so I'm really excited yeah I won't spoil it but I think it was great yeah it was great it was about more than just pinball I think Roger spoiled it when I talked to him yeah I mean it's sort of is like it's his life but it's also like about it's not so much about the game as like but they get the game right which is which I appreciate it like you can tell that they put the effort into like it's not like these weird like makeup rules or shout out weird things yeah you're like that makes no sense yes yes it does make sense yeah yeah yeah that part of the game that's wonderful it was good okay yeah I'm definitely I'm gonna check it out all right we're finally ready we're ready to get underway uh what was the uh ruling over there well we recycled the power cycled the power Jared said it's cool okay sure okay fantastic that's where we've got to we're just gonna keep an eye on it we're going real manual style old school all right so we got our two players in we got the one two in the bottom left so now getting into it so we did uh Mary and I had a chance to talk about it and there's a stuck ball right off the bat oh fun yeah that's great nothing Thrills twitch streams more than stock walls and and he's not really interested in taking any any any rut you know chance here he's got the stack ball I think he's really worried now you know generally I'm a little I'm a little willing to you know give it usually like a back hit I feel like you know the Tilt sensors tilt mechanism is usually toward the front of the machine so you can usually safely kind of give it a smack hey snap smack but like a a over here smash and uh but it looks like it excuse me yeah Nick is not interested and at this at this juncture in trying to do anything like that I think he's just gonna take a uh a judge opening the game placing it on flipper you know maybe this is a strategy he's like he's like there's gonna just be like a just micro cuts of problems right right swearing everybody down honestly I mean it's probably not unheard of that somebody you know tries to do you know like the game within the game you know he stays cool it's upset around I mean right right maybe that's it yeah so so what Jared here is going to do is opening up the uh the glass taking off the glass he's gonna collect that ball and put it on the left flipper since it's on the left hand side if you were to sort of divide the Playfield in two so that's the standard sort of ruling there uh the the player is going to hold the flipper up oh a nice view of uh Jared's hair uh so game time television uh uh Nick took Foo Fighters and the second game was Iron Man and uh Andre won that yeah so this is number three this is it yes um Nick has never has Nick ever won sfpd no no he's he's been in the league now I think maybe five seasons yeah uh and I think this is actually his first uh top four in a for sure yeah possibly possibly his first top four ever um although he's always a fantastic player so this could be big for him yeah I think I think he's I mean I mean he's he's honestly in as good of a position as you could be in a in a head-to-head best of three with Andre oh and a real rough one there so yeah so I honestly even even with that rough ball win I think he's still probably feeling like he's got a shot here Andre of course never to be counted out I'm sure he's kind of faster yeah yeah and he's I mean truly he does not I don't think anything really flaps him he's he can play every game except for dogs dancing yes yes the peripheral all right let's see no stuck ball here gets the 3 000 right off the bat so yeah that scoop at the top is what we talked about earlier the flags collect the flags by getting it uh onto that right side where you see the ball going down there and the uh the way you can reliably get there is in that saucer oh great little sort of half shots there we got a little stuttering video but it's still still moving so we'll we'll roll with it ah a tough one there so he goes up to oh wait oh we we lost the uh the DMD cam so yeah for a second I thought he played out of turn I ever thought oh my God Andre not like this not like this Audrey there it is I talked about that earlier with Mary that sort of the feed is sometimes a very reliable backhand I agree again I love that um if you can time it right though it's easy to get off your time and you just go AWOL yes yes all right looks like Nick's feeling pretty comfortable yeah unfortunately didn't get any flags on that I thought I thought he was gonna get at least one flag there there's there's a flag number two there and yeah flag number two oh yeah and flag number one is ready all right good nudging there to keep it out Dr blueberry thing yeah thank you for the note we we are are doing our best this game is in just a very tough spot in the shop yeah so it's in like a Hall of Mirrors yeah so we're just going to try to keep keep uh our our feed is sort of coming in and out so yeah a little bit uh absolutely you have to have somebody else watch this VOD within seven days otherwise curtains all right so Andre up to 19 000 so he's he does have the lead right now uh Nick is up to I think that says 15. and uh oh oh ouch actually you know Eric it's actually not the Wi-Fi although the Wi-Fi is not good in there it's actually the line of sight transmitters that we use for the HDMI you know what you were talking about oh yeah well because I was helping I helped set it up I that's what I I was the those nasty transmits I I was the first sort of uh user uh in sfpd of all the streaming stuff but yeah in particular I learned about that actually from Jack Jack danger when I got streamed with him in Chicago uh during the like uh sort of like a pro Invitational final at uh Josh Harp's house and uh it was a fantastic broadcast but that was the first time he was using those Wireless transmitters which are now standard of course and so it's like you were the who with the who's who I was I was in there it was a great I think you can still watch that broadcast if you go back into Jack's archives and I will yeah yeah it was fun it was really it was a great Final on Hoops uh where Escher took it on the bonus collect it was incredible uh very fun oh it's hot fun to watch okay so where are we at now 32 it looks like for uh Nick oh counting up 40 41. oh he had a great bonus on that one so he's up to 43 to Andre's 25 we're on ball two I'm sorry ball three here so time is is running out here for our players to really put put something up I think you know Nick is gonna feel good if you oh really and that's oh yeah Audrey had to leave the room on that one and that's exactly why I would literally walk around the block of course and this is this is exactly I think what Nick wants to see I mean that Randomness is really what's gonna oh tough one there oh my gosh money yes buy ball we're on Ball Four Mario putting the quick edits on the on the camera settings there which which uh I I I I admire him for the gumptions actually go in there and do that next to Andre so the shirt that uh Andre is wearing uh was from uh the uh Cal extreme Stern had like a competition oh fun machine so I have that shirt too so I know it looks like a psych out move because he is but wow I also have that shirt this is going to be a close one they're now within three four thousand points of each other roughly yeah so this is ball five this is it so Nick needs to put something in I know this is like it's pretty sweat in it right now oh no that's trouble oh hey hey still alive still alive wow wow Nick dancing like oh let's see if we can get it back up oh gosh right just and he's just he's trying he's trying to put it back up he's using the tips very well oh God oh that's gonna be uh 48 so Andre 8 000 points oh Lord to enter the finals an 8 000 Point situation here this is gonna be there's 3 000 right there gotta be careful with the and there's potentially oh it's gonna come back down that's gonna be trouble oh God okay so we we know he's gonna be going back up top he's got two flags ready if he gets a 3 000 here he's gonna be within a thousand and he's got the double he's done he's got it he could drain he's got the win oh that was and I think he's probably yeah he's just gonna let that go or he might flip it out just so just to pass him but goodness gracious Andre massinkov saying Wiley and I honestly I'm sure Nick is just sort of sort of kicking himself for missing the saucer and a few of those is if uh I mean of course Andre is liable to have a huge huge ball here but you know I think I think Nate made a good choice oh yeah he chose this game right he he did he did what he had to do I think it was the right call and you know it's Andre Mouse and coffee what are you gonna do so we got a final reason yeah and this is gonna be a rematch final actually of Andre and Gabe yes yeah and I think has Gabe's won how many times twice once once yes and we know Andre's had many points yes yeah yeah actually I think the only other uh I should double check but I think the only other person who's won twice is no actually no that's I think it's only Andre um here we can get right into uh yeah let's look at our counter here while we wait while we wait for the next one yeah so if we look through uh and this is available to the wall of fame and congratulations to Andre by the way yeah there's fantastic Andre I know it does I know we should be better about this Andre we're we are used to him winning and I think I think there's always that you want a story to tell somebody beat somebody but you know Andre there's a reason that he's our our uh our several time winner here yeah he does the work he puts in the time and when it comes down to it he often delivers when other people are sweating yep absolutely so yeah so Andre is the only person who's won smpd more than once that's great everybody else is a one-time winner so it's crazy so Gabe has the opportunity here to to finally be you know join the Audrey yes yes well well done Andre good job Audrey yes yes yes all right we're gonna make a one I'm gonna I'll announce it just to let folks know okay hello so I think is that it we um Gabe and Andre now have to play oh so this is for the final that was just the semi-finals jeez yeah I'm falling asleep I gotta go to bed I'm old uh well you know I quit my job last week so I don't have a uh it's 10 46 here on the West Coast honey oh come on you can you can no I'm good I took a nap earlier okay somebody was talking about uh there's a uh take a nap slap somebody was saying in the scene take a nap slap yeah somebody said take a nap slap and I thought that was funny it's like that's the kind of flap that you can give somebody take a nap go to sleep I just need 20 minutes that's all I need so where are we at Fresh poetic where am I going [Music] all right waiting on us tonight on the selection uh how did you do I talked my way from the seeds to the Beast because we they had okay so just so everybody knows we have uh three different divisions there's the A's the B's and the C's and uh if you're in the bees and someone put the A's doesn't show up you can you can move up but for some reason they weren't letting people in the Seas move to the bees if someone didn't show up oh there you go so I said no no more let the let the Seas rise so choose let the Seas rise of them so I so I somebody didn't show up Shannon desharm she she moved up to a so Shannon this Shannon Shannon Suites are shifted into the bees but then kevmo didn't show up for the bees so Tim who won the bees was the one who moved up so he ended up moving from C to B and took the whole thing oh wow pretty cool that's ridiculous I think they said they were gonna go to um well that's wrong it's not Andre versus Nick anymore they're gonna stick with wizard okay but now it's Andre and Gabe yes let me see if I can fix that uh let's switch you are now fresh poetic and I am now I'm just holding holding his spot while he uh does the does the commissioning all right we're wrapping we're we're slowly making our way to the we're in the finals kids final the finals and we're gonna have round one of three games well depends could be

that's nothing on this game I mean rolling this game isn't that big of a deal um if you're having a decent game and Andre Andre's probably pretty warmed up now it's this thing like I had like a I rolled I double rolled it in my warm-up and then I got like 30 000 in my uh tournament around did Andre pick Andre after playing it last game LOL do they have no we don't have a brighter pin but Lord of Kimball I don't know how long ago you asked that but but uh not anymore I know Sean had one yeah he's got one somewhere somewhere I'm not sure what it is the left ramp game um Jay had a brighter pinball 2.0 which is yeah yeah He restored it yeah Scott Danesi he had a part did you know that in the brighter pinball 2.0 Scott Danesi's uh credits that's cool I think we're sounding something else some other Mecca or something I did the legend yeah I'm having by the way I'm having Scott Danesi on my stream next Tuesday if you guys want to stop by mystery pinball theater on a Tuesday Scott and I are gonna be looking at the virtual version of uh total nuclear Annihilation that just came out oh nice that he actually helped oh really yes oh interesting is it what what platform it's a visual pinball is there a VR version that it is yes it's insane oh yeah I'm gonna have to check that out I might have to get my stuff going again Scott Scott you know couldn't give them stuff he couldn't give them but he gave them a lot of Direction and he he gave them the stuff he could give them nice to say that yeah that's great yeah pretty cool I had I had a whole beer earlier that's so cool that's cool pit pit is this still Andre's ball one yeah no uh I can't tell all right yeah I really screwed up on that DMD it looks like a two down there but maybe it's just it's about two this is a tough one they're tough score reels you either lose the player number or you lose the score I could try and fix it because we do need to read that should I go try and fix it um it's fine I can see it now now that we know what bald is should be able to keep track I can actually do this between between balls watch this so Gabe is going to be on forever now since I'm going to show you something let's see look at that that back I love them that's that's my go-to left flip when it comes off of there you guys make it look it's so easy but yeah I yeah freaking hard success rate is definitely not 100 percent as Gabe just showed us oh that was a real clip Matt how's the design coming on that uh miniature uh Baby Pac-Man small changes right over here kids he's working on it it's behind asteroids Deluxe get in line with the freaking oh man with the uh with the mirror yeah I have a I have a full-size one oops okay that's not what I want but no room oh alien we're playing alien we're playing alien next now where was I I was going here to show you this oh that's upside down my God man who do better but that's gonna work I'm gonna fix that wait what did you say just now um I don't know what did I say something that excited me slightly um I totally forgot what I said all right all right let's get back to the action here I'm gonna see if I can rotate this around so we can zoom in did I just flip your screen now that just is impossible oh yeah I'm sorry Chad I'm a terrible streamer let me fix that for you all right so it looks like ball three player two doing a terrible job commentating here no no everybody knows how to play wizard do they really I'm in that's for the basketball game um yeah you know hit stand-ups and then uh collect your flags shoot your spinner okay you want double bonus is that once you once you get Max bonus and double it's kind of just spinner until you drain how much is the spinner valued at 100 100 100 yeah it's not it's not crazy I mean you can get a good amount of points but once you just want your double Max bonus mostly if you can do that on a couple of balls you're you're good any chance of you seeing what the scores are yeah uh Andre's got 38 or something Gabe's got 60 something 70 I don't know why this is upside down but you can see it better now before oh yeah for some reason it's upside down though but we're gonna keep it upside down because because of my fancy stream I'll figure it out the upside down scores all right double bonus during a ball is a double bonus during ball five no you can get everybody he just got it um it's one of the flags oh okay yeah I think this is what Andre did the last game oops that's still that's a decent bonus 70. 71. I I don't know why it's upside down I have no clue so they got Audrey's got one more ball 71. Cube's got this man that's big oh you know I know how to fix it but I'm I don't think I'm I don't think I'm gonna right now while we're in uh click on this this is game one kids game one they started on uh wizard I think because Andre pitied me moving the rig again I said well we're on Wizard let's stay there or he's you know when you get when you get warm on a game maybe you want to play another one [Music] Zach is it normally like these guys like fighting it out at the end yeah I mean if you ask me who the top two players were in the building today I'd probably be those two Gibbs gotten so strong I'm partially to blame you you you're his uh as he's your is he your Padawan no I sold I sold him again his his game that he has in his house so he didn't have a game in his house before Iron Maiden yeah how'd you sell Iron Man I don't want to talk about it um I needed I needed to buy [Music] um Godzilla Maybe one element for another yeah hey Mary how's it going over here so game just won snap yes pinball pinball Pitbull it does make sense um this matchup tends to come out for sfpd uh quite often game versus Gabe versus Andre yeah we were just saying they're probably the the two best in the house well uh Gabe actually went further in the in disk right in this tournament then Andre yeah I think so I think he made it in like the top was it the top ten so I don't remember what where he ended up but it was definitely up there yeah yeah seven seven yeah there you go there you go yeah that was a pretty cool win for San Francisco peeps yeah oh yeah they were both out there they represented oh yes it's always nice to see a city Peaks being represented by some pretty good pinball players as well as yourself exactly oh on some days [Laughter] yeah every once in a while it comes together I I wish I had time away from work to to venture out and do more tournaments outside of the city but sadly when you don't have a car it's a lot harder yeah it's Indus is tough I heard the I'm not too familiar with the tournament format with the with the cards so how was that done so you you have a a card and you play you know X number of games four or five games or six games and you every game that you play on that card counts so you can only only play say five games and then depending on how you do in each one of those games the total of all five of those games gives you your score that you're competing with against my people okay and so you can have like four great games and then have like one terrible game where you get no points and that can like basically ruin the card so yeah it's interesting and as as the qualifying goes on you know somebody might knock down one of your scores and you have less points and it drops your whole card value it's interesting yeah so it's not like how in Lodi where it's like best of your best game or whatever and you can like pay for a certain amount of entries no it's it's I mean usually you can only get five right well you can keep buying cards oh okay but you have to play five games on that card it's like five games count whereas like other formats you're just trying to get like a best game score um and maybe like five of your top scorers count but when you have to do it all in one time it's super difficult because you have to play like perfectly consistent otherwise you know yeah so how many cards are you able to to purchase it depends on the tournament sometimes it's unlimited sometimes it's limited um yeah but it's only those five scores it's not like the more cards you like the more you can't combine anything no no no they're they're like individual entry gotcha gotcha gotcha so Andre needs this win there on Adam's Family yep Andre picks Adams all right here we go he knows this machine very well I think this was the one he won isn't the one this isn't this the one he won last season on was Adam's family I don't remember but that was an excellent move all right yeah he's uh he's being Andre extra Andre right now all right so Andre has his multiball what you got actually a lot he just got his Lockwood there yeah or is that multiball I'm confused there he goes there he goes there's that one foreign all right so that's all locked yeah okay so now he's gonna he's gonna get some uh skill shots this is uh the advantage of going first [Music] did he go first yes he did um because you get to get a skill shot every time you lock a ball and say he doesn't start his multiball Gabe when Gabe blocks his balls they're just gonna kick out from the uh from the game they're not gonna he's not gonna get the plunge so yeah like that so now Gabe is basically locked out of getting extra skill shots which sometimes can win a game yeah this game between the two of them that's probably not the case but uh for Mortals for Premiere us mere mortals yeah Mortals skill shots can win um I'm not sure if Adams was being played before on stream or not but um it's pretty simple you want to collect all the windows in the house down there yep and you do that by shooting the we don't have a we don't have a thing do we can I draw uh I [Music] I can't draw that's okay um you shoot the scoop which is like middle of the play field uh there's a little um yeah that's cool um yeah that's the shot there you go remember Brian telling me bears and chairs bears and chairs so yeah the the ramp so now he needs to shoot a ramp the center ramp to re-light the chair for to collect another room the house and you collect all the rooms and then you get a ton of points and then the other thing is multiball which you get by shooting the um the thing over there there you go the vault all right so Andre needs to shoot the scoop to start his multiball he's timing out probably timing out the magnets which he just did yeah yep 15 seconds and there he goes all right he has multiball now all right so he wants to shoot the side ramp for his jackpot [Music] um and I'm sure I'll do it because this is Andre's style of multiball gonna get a feed right here and oh you got the he got the regular jackpot not the Super but he re-lit it so he's ready to go again there it is yep double jackpot right there now he's got to shoot in the vault again yeah there it is as jackpot's ready it has all right here he goes there we go there we go another one coming oh he missed it this is an Andre [Laughter] you got it you got it no no no no no he thought he was gonna get it grace period but that was uh just a little extra just a little all right so he's he's back to uh shooting is he gonna try to go for books or is he gonna try to just go for bears and chairs no but he's gonna have a big bonus because he keeps shooting that he's gonna have a nice bonus maybe he didn't do that many rooms but I think he's got 3x wait wait what he only got one point oh you know what no oh that was his first ball that he got the bonus X whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa power power I think that small change Matt's saying come on guys we're gonna be here while we're gonna be here um okay so Gabe Gabe is not too far behind this is 50 or whatever 65 is very doable here chair on the fly a little easy at control here oh that was you I thought that was Matt oh he's being risky and trying to shoot for that chair from the right flipper I do it you can do it I've heard oh wow that was what was that that was a bogus chair I'd be pissed off that's that's uh that hurts I'm pissed I'm pissed I'm I'm pissed for him too that's all right it's okay I'm not sure what's Andre saying there's something going on that needs a ruling it looks like Derek's over there I think he's just commenting he's just being Andre he's being Andre that's not I'm not being negative yeah no it's just it's just uh he's explaining the state of the game yes yes no this is not a five ball game this is a three balls the only Fireball games are the Em games yes with the score reels everything else is three ball the thing shot is uh really weird on this game right now it's like it doesn't it's not anywhere near where it used to be it's like really early and the window is like super small because usually you can just hit that on the Fly it's like not a big deal it's really hard now I'm gonna try to get the chair or he's trying to shoot up in the the thing the thing to shoot the side there we go yeah there it is no Dr blueberry Johnson said uh Andre was diagnosing why things went wrong on the on I guess Gabe's ball with the with the chair just flopping that straight down the middle yeah because yeah that that wasn't a normal all right Andre had a super quick multiball I'm just gonna just let it time it out because he's in Seance right now and Seance is always like blinking very bright lights at you and it's very distracting this game the flashers on this game are like insanely bright they had this thing all restored and it's like blinding it's too much is that necessary oh botch drop catch yeah yep kill shot all right so you got the skill shot so 87 another five now 92 still very doable for Gabe it's doable If he if he gets in his multiball gets a couple of rooms yeah set dangerous oh wow that that right that both of those outlines are so hungry you got to be so careful oh it's trouble oh [Music] all right okay all right all right time to lock oh take it easy there I'm like sweating over here guys I don't know why he's oh damn yeah I don't know shooting for the vault move there all right so Andre got a win from that game so it's now one in one and they'll be playing a third game right yeah okay one before okay so yeah one and one right now so they're gonna be playing a third game guys it's all coming down to this one no it's not they're playing best of five oh it's best of five yeah or [Laughter] hi Derek Derek's going to join in with Zach on this game three of the finals all righty hi folks all right so we got a uh a Thai situation now yeah best of three basically now yeah um yeah that was a uh a a bunch of tough breaks did you all talk about this sort of weird happenstance for Andre where he got the mode start on the plunge oh no I didn't see that yeah uh we I went and talked to Jared a bit about it I think eventually we that was a play on yeah hardly repeatable at least in this instance yeah that's crazy it just came on the back of the center uh X yeah uh from that was the chair so I think I think Gabe was stinging yeah um we're gonna double seven now oh double seven mm-hmm all right so this could take a while we're not yeah yeah I I'm getting comfortable there's a good chance that at least one of them is going to play for a long time right I I think yeah well we'll see there there was I guess the last time we saw it on the broadcast was with Nick uh Andre Andre had a good one he was he was uh I think the I'm trying to think of what was the sort of death knell of everybody playing then I think it was outlames trying to remember I think there was at least one tilt we saw oh yeah we did see Andre tell it once um so yeah those thinking of the things that'll potentially shorten the yeah yeah but Gabe and Andre never expect that to be a short game all right let's see I think we're ready there you go fantastic folks thank you so much uh we haven't said it probably enough or maybe even ever during the broadcast day but if you haven't already hit that uh follow button make sure to get uh updates when Mana goes live here on MPT 3K it's a fantastic broadcast on the regular thank you Dr blueberry Johnson for the follow mutton Choppers we got some great great pinball action coming to you here from San Francisco all right so this is a game pick James Bonzo I think he will be going first and thank you for the subscription jerware oh Jeremy what a guy jareware as as I mentioned earlier the uh creator of the plaques the the sfpd plaques that we know and love yeah he is uh a artist an artist yeah he's also the creator of the little mini Tron I mentioned yeah yeah yes I know he's got a lot of accolades did he also I also said he did the uh toppers for Ghostbusters and Simpsons with the show running yeah yeah yeah he's he's always got a trick up his sleeve all right 007. yeah what's your uh what's your approach you step up to this now well my my Approach is to try not to step up to the game because I don't enjoy it very much but when I when I do um I have no idea what I'm doing so I usually just try to like shoot the right ramp to uh start a mode yep and then start one of the multi balls and then everything else is just uh a bit of I have no idea what I'm doing yeah yeah it's um yeah it it seems like we've seen a couple Trends with the games we've seen a lot of uh jetpack yeah a lot of uh you know bird one of course for the standard multiball yeah I haven't seen a lot of like you know nobody's going for queue no one's really um I think we've seen one uh Bond James Bond mini wizard mode so it's uh it'll be interesting to see where they go I I imagine looked like Gabe was already going for uh left orbit yeah yeah [Laughter] yeah I was less than than a good idea about it did you have to play it uh no no yeah it was it all worked out I love that little U-turn that sometimes happens if you have a sort of a weak flip that goes up the the ramp kind of comes right back down the other side oh yeah it's a little scary Eric wag saying very tight tilt yes uh game awards very low bonus probably tilt every ball that's remotely savable yeah that's actually not not a bad thought [Music] okay so in the villain mode here he's got his locks lit yep and there's the jet pack yeah nails that shot and that shot has been troubling people for a while so you seem to hit that pretty comfortably so in Jetpack of course I think he's trying to hit that center Shot or maybe he already has and and uh there we go lock in that eight was that eight million six million couldn't quite make out that first character but he's gonna be getting down on every single jackpot shot you see the flashing orange it looks like six or something yeah very good that's probably says Andre is 31 and 19 against Gage yeah I think the the those numbers are getting closer together as time goes on absolutely now oh yeah I was uh I meant to confirm exactly which season it was but you know this this is a uh uh a grudge match so to speak for for Gabe yeah he was let's let's go to the wall of fame just to confirm when that was that was 2020 oh a year ago 2022 spring Andre defeated Gabe in the finals you know Gabe had won the previous season yeah so he was going for his uh back to back not only back to back but first uh only other player to actually win two uh Andre's the only other only player in sfpd yeah one two championships all right so Andre's stepping up for ball one here what did that end up at look at this guy Singing in the Rain back here [Laughter] that's bad luck I think when it's for a pinball stream it's fine [Laughter] look what happened to Gabe all right let's see where is our defending champion Maybe it's okay a little breather a little oh Eric yeah you should be here explaining how to play this game this is a Keith game no no okay this is a uh Gomez Gomez right okay but Keith did the 60th anniversary yeah he did the 60th anniversary got it start to hurry up right from 7 million lock the jackpot by hitting center Shot exactly second one starts at eight the nine very good all right so yeah when we saw Andre last on this machine uh actually had two rough balls to start I probably went into ball three maybe with something like under 10 million and then nice that Dr Dr blueberry uh factoids I love that that although that sounds like you know Dr blueberry where are you getting that Source it's not saying I I don't trust but I chat chat [Laughter] all right Andre getting underway here looks like he's yep going right right for that uh jet pack shot and there's that tilt warning and that's basically that's he's basically on you know one tilt last all right I mean one one one morning or basically no warnings left I I've I've seen that one move turn into basically a tilt around every single other tilt that we've seen on the broadcast here locks in the 7 million quickly now it's just picking off those jackpots here there he goes he hit it into the weird the weird thing oh another one into the weird thing oh yeah the little launcher there yeah and there's the soup or the devil rather and now there's a roving super with the uh sort of yeah under shot there but he's out of here all right so now from here looks like he's gonna be going for the bird one and still it this is all without having initiated any any mode I think he's he's still just he's got the villain qualified at the right ramp so I'll just call one there [Music] oh he's got the ball on the uh host there but now back up top hasn't been getting a lot of love from that uh upper flipper yes Eric Eric took Andre I think Andre actually if I'm not mistaken went to three games every single round uh yeah because Eric took him to three yeah Rob took him to three Mexican to three at the very close finish on the uh well I guess by the end of it Andre actually had built up a fairly sizable score bonus score coming on ball five but up to that point it was a pretty tight wizard round right so we'll see here and see if he goes for the maximum games they're at least gonna do four [Music] foreign probably yeah I think I didn't get VOD turned on I think I think it goes to uh to mp3ks saved broadcast and I think I think he archives them as well do you archive the broadcast yeah yeah [Music] Rip City champ yes there you go follow him wherever people may be followed Andre oh a tough Center drain there that's a that's uh uncommon on the game here but battle put him I think just under a hundred million oh no I'm sorry 71 71 yeah all right not a bad start there against the what is that 48 yeah 48 48 7. all right just hopped on so I missed the whole competition you got a lot of a lot of competition left just so you know singer [Music] this this is uh this this competition is not liable to be done anytime soon we got two fantastic players here I guess it depends on the games they pick but that was a big move I don't know if you need to move it that much but they're they're there it went crazy he's on notice oh that's could have been a scary bounce there so he's going straight up looking for that bird one shot doesn't get the uh launcher there let's go yeah I believe so is that number that's number two so if you can get that one additional one he'll be in bird one with his villain running wow what what's uh different about that nice there it is all right super pops are lit got a jackpot all right so this is where he's gonna start start cooking up and I think we we mentioned earlier this plays like a lot of other Stern multiballs sort of standard multiball you got a array of shots you hit them all that will qualify your super you got one more it looks like uh just at the launcher on the left side it's got three balls still running there it is and it looks like that oh maybe that just re-qualifies everything and now everything is a double yep there we go double jackpots now two million a pop [Music] all right he's I imagine he's feeling pretty good right now getting some good action here I don't think he's uh has he done his uh is there an ATA ball I imagine there's got to be one somewhere right I think we talked about that a little bit earlier all right Gabe yeah no I haven't I haven't seen that happen all right what is that uh one of 107. and he's got now he gets the the jetpack progress from the random award there [Music] nice all right so not not a bad showing there and master bonus yeah as Eric mentioned not a big bonus game there's not an atom ball for bird there is an extender if you get three of either the side Loop or side ramp at the start of multiball there you go all right Andre Andre plotting his chorus here in his mind Derek's getting called over for a conversation with Andre I would love to fix that um exposure but I don't want to even go over there it's fine right okay when it gets this hot maybe it was too he did hit the side around the beginning when I played a couple of months back the screen reference playful multiplies but you couldn't activate them we'll see what we'll see what the issue is when Derek steps back over here curious of what's going on you guys he's got a skill shot but it was a top skill shot isn't anything being wrong with this double seven it's pretty much brand new all good it was just a just addressing these sort of environments making sure that uh you know they're free of distraction oh you don't say that's interesting not not an something we've already seen actually a few times on on the broadcast yeah which I I you know I I know he doesn't like distractions yeah yeah I mean it he's a serious player you know he wants what treats it as such so I uh yeah that's I think we're all you know we're all adults so everybody's I think being being okay about it nice um but anyway yes that was that was all that was going on there no issue with the game itself and and clearly no no issue impacting his his play here with some fantastic weapons up to one what's that 175 now yep but yeah this is definitely gonna be a uh already a tough one for Gabe to touch and he's not done adding points uh multiball ready I think um they'll just need to get into another mode or something or not I don't know can you get good points just playing these multiballs without a man I think so I mean it seems like especially for this jetpack one Eric Eric tell us yeah if you can if you can get the value up I mean yeah it's a pretty significant amount per or jackpot so sure you just keep that moving along yeah wow that was a super I don't even think he intended to hit that there's another one these are eight million dollars per 8 million points per 10 million dollars getting rich up to 284 is that goodness gracious jackpot very valuable yeah and I think is that it oh no he's still still going still going yeah he had a outline [Music] all right he's got some time here for basically a free shot oh it doesn't get a clean rip on the [Music] okay he's gonna get a a shot here a little early ah got a tough bounce there let's see if you can get it last second nope to be disappointed about and and I think he's absolutely Jared might be a little close if possible [Music] all right more multiball action this is bird so as Eric mentioned not not to uh not as valuable as the jetpack but somebody like Andre who can play these multiballs deep any multiball valuable there's a tilt warning [Music] interesting just some hard flipping [Music] look at that I'll say it keeps that one alive so he's looking at the looks like it's like a lot of the harder shots all right the undershot there the left orbit the cue shots he gets a nice random bounce into there pick up another one there's that one shot that makes no sense yeah that one shot with the adhesive foam on it oh is that right all right a fantastic performance there and and definitely definitely a a score to beat if uh I we know Gabe is a great player he's got a lot of work to do ahead of him now I think if I if I'm reading this game State correctly he's probably gonna go back to Jetpack yeah I think he was one I think he's one shot away okay [Music] and oh and a tough one there so he's already out of ball saved so this is this is the game here oh no and it's just an awful feed out of the pops there and that's it that's game two game three in the book so now I yeah two to one lead for Andre so Gabe gonna be coming back to the sheet to look over his options Gabe's got a lot of options he does he does he's uh now the the question is yes sort of strategically where do you like to go you go another sort of modern game where you know it's going to be maybe a dog fight maybe something that has some Randomness to go em I mean I think most people would but I think Gabe Gabe's probably just gonna try to outplay him on something that I was gonna say controllable but he's a gamer yeah yeah I don't know it would be unfortunate to go out on something random yeah here in the last game uh home ground we'll see what he does if I get I'm gonna guess that he does something modern let's see looks like he's making the choice would you what'd you pick Gabe yeah Guardians of the Galaxy so you were spot on there yeah now I did remark on you know one of Andre's most notable sort of big performances was Guardians in the 2019 pinberg yeah finals that was that was awesome a really stunning performance it was uh lightning flippers right Groot deactivated yeah and Andre like got into multiball like the fastest I've ever seen yeah I remember yeah it was awesome and and really blew it up in multiball too I think I think it was a no doubter yeah Guardians is great I uh I picked it in my round tonight and uh completely after oh no yeah Ralph what what was uh it just just bad bounces what was it yeah it was yeah the first ball I just like it was going towards the right outline and I just gave the cabinet just like a little slap and then danger danger oh God like like at the very beginning of my ball what yeah and then uh ball two I started my Groot and I just had like a Karim in the middle of the Playfield and everybody went out of the pool yeah and then yeah I couldn't get it together and uh so killer um Dan put up like 1.4 billion about two oh yes I did I think I saw yeah so I was in trouble I had a good Revenge game over a billion but yeah it doesn't really matter now if it doesn't get you closer to Hardware yeah no this uh I really I really like this Guardians it was a little tough but it's so it looks so good oh yes this is a premium yeah it's a premium and it's all it's got like uh whatchamacallits uh what are those lights oh yeah the uh yeah yeah uh it does it does look fantastic yeah and like all those like uh colored plastic protectors it's just uh beautiful yeah beautiful specimen all right well now we get to enjoy it let's see where our competitors go with it yeah I'm not a fan of a tight tilt gonna put that out there there you go yeah not a fan you need to you need to be able to know just part of the game yeah just a little bit um yeah I'm predicting we'll probably see a tilt here from Andre that would be a good uh in the game somewhere somewhere prop that yeah we get that up on DraftKings uh maybe Gabe too I think Gabe is a little more a little more cautious with it yeah yeah like if Andre tries to slide it across the floor like you did with James Bond it's uh it's not gonna Not Gonna Take It right that that is a a tough combo of two tight tilts plus poorly maintained machines yeah no good so he starts off with the um the shopkeeper looks like he's probably just gonna try to finish that and get his orb going did you call him the shopkeeper yeah yeah all right what's that what is I know I did [Laughter] I don't think so really yeah well I did see somebody hate around it earlier all right so there he is into the orb made pretty quick work of that yeah herb is uh orb is a dangerous one on here because he's an Orbee he's got a good value orb going yeah and he finished the um what what is that the uh the shopkeeper yeah what is it Antiquities and yeah that is he not a shopkeeper shop owner uh all right well he did finish Antiquities and now he's looking at nebula he's gonna go he's going pod and he's gonna go Groot and he's gonna get bored [Laughter] rough rough bounce there all right but good for the bonus good good to get that bonus locked in yeah yeah that Mode's not worth too much but every little bit's gonna count here yeah I like I like to start with Paw Chase do you start pad Chase with Groot yeah every time that's not true I still like to go a lot of people go um uh yaka right or or some people will go quills first and get it no no no just first just you start your opening opening move oh oh yeah yeah yeah no I get it you just met you just met you just meant stacking pod with groups oh yes yeah but I start with pod and then grind into group because uh pod Chase is worth so much in bonus and it's long enough that you have enough time to get to let your group yeah I usually don't play quill unless I'm in trouble yeah because it's not it's not particularly valuable no oh really of your score accumulated oh I did not know that oh close one there he's so quick with that resp like the drop catch just putting it right back up in the groove you're seeing a lot of that that frenetic style that that Andre brings yeah it is I like it all right so into mode here looks like he goes pod there we go so he's following the conventional wisdom here mystery lit gotta be his at a ball if he you know collects that come page runs you see he he he he hadroned himself into his jackpot but I would have I usually go for um to get my multiplier and put in the balls chair you know in Chris mouth hey I said that uh let's go walk one more three ax yeah all right here we go uh 12 million super there Andre looking strong here in a potential Championship clinching match I would definitely not count Gabe out here yeah yeah one more there it is and there's a super again this will be the devil super see he just hit his he just hit his hey johns with with Super Jackpot going and didn't give it to him it'll give you it'll give you the jackpot at group but not the Super when the mouth is going up and down yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah there we go no it's all good so that was 48. you you you you could you you could do that very early and early can another 24 on the super he's up to yeah almost 2 30. that's a decent route that's not he didn't run away with it too far though in the ballpark this is this is fun all right awkward bounce there ends the ball but he it's gonna end with a a nice little pickup on the bonus there up to three times for another 45. 275. all right so puts puts Gabe in the position of you gotta gotta make something happen and I think Gabe is up to the task that was game three or yes you're right game four correct there's a soft Plunge did you say sloth plunge a sloth Plunge or if it's lit him he's got that shot from the right down and he's is he into it is it uh or he's got one he's got one more yeah all right once once again the little control whoa that was very good oh that was bad luck a rough one there no no no no no one more ball he's all primed but um would have been nice to uh yeah he's he's missing out on his you know points plus his bonus for for modes not completed yep that was a that was a rough one just caught the underside of the left sling there yeah and basically no chance to react that quickly he's he's very quick to react but that was yeah you have to be like uh one of the uh teenagers to be able to deal with that oh and the Antiquities here gets the orb lit a rare oh almost trapped it you know Andre is in special mode all right the thing you got to be careful with here is the the magnet can't throw it out the left side oh right right coming out of the orb there oh and there he goes the right side but he gets to save yeah oh wow nice move damn all right beautiful move it's away with that let's see is that number three I think that's two two got it one more magnet [Music] we'll probably start another mode before he was going for him interesting yeah interesting yeah I would I would have expected him to maybe try to go yeah I mean he's got a lead but I mean if he would have grabbed a mode then he'd be just one away from Cherry Bomb right right so he made yeah I could see maybe the situation being such that he feels he he can build up enough to really put the pressure on yeah yeah even without you know in a head-to-head Arrangement like this he's got ready to uh put it into the orb there there's the super he's gonna get these balls back 57. hi Andre yeah this is a lot of uh ball through pressure yep [Music] okay Gabe's got his uh his crew ready I mean you can get you can get 400 million in Groot on a good Groot adrons into his final jackpot there so now he can load the orb again oh there it is nope there's the super 200. that's a big one that's sitting okay now he's gonna need more than a Groot yeah this is a game four four with Andre's up this is yeah match point for uh for Andre wow incredible whoa Wacky Bounce there up to what is that just north of 700. it's gonna be decent 19 up to 39. extra ball yeah but it might it might also add the previous Super Jackpot I don't know yeah I don't know Maybe you just you go for yaka because he's gonna get make progress right um he'll get he'll get two pops now he got zero oh I guess he'll get it oh no he must have got it he got it and he'll get another one it just didn't look like it bounced very much there he goes the progress if it's under half I think he does yeah yeah some of the modes don't yeah I know that um the the yellow what's the uh Sanctuary does not see I know some of them here it is game four this is it if Gabe does not pass Andre you can do this this is no problem no problem start that group have a big group yeah finishing Groot would certainly go a long way hi Andre nice ball dude thank you Eric wag for the update there as oh almost I was I was surprised you didn't know before you started your um all right Gabe keep it keeping steady he needs uh he needs his Atta ball which isn't lit getting some awkward awkward bounces here oh in there he's okay oh he just I think he's just one more shot on the uh the big stand up for his atom oh is that that's the left side one yeah yeah he's got his atom already on the Fly here no I think he went right there I think he's just a little early gets his hadron [Music] that's good to know hasn't gone to the ball save here this is not a team game this is a head-to-head battle to the death oh what a save what a save on this game super sensitive yeah that's that's probably it I don't think he can put another move on it even even uh be careful he's still got his at a ball get it in there man get it shoot it right now oh no maybe right now ready right now he might have been able to get a grace period there all right he's in jail he's got to uh grind into another group yeah with another mode and then do uh his orb maybe after I think you go for Groot here it's just safer okay well that's not a bad either it's not gonna not gonna score them oh the 2x is gonna help there he's got he's got his 2x already but he didn't start it that animation always makes me think that it started yeah that's a little Annoying yeah beautiful shot there nice combo oh no that's it ugly ugly spit out from the saucer there [Music] wow holy Walking on Sunshine here all right so we gotta you gotta accidental lock maybe he goes for the sword goodness gracious oh no and there it is all right Andre wins there is a magnet out of orb just sometimes it uh sometimes it does yeah all right well there it is folks we're gonna have our our final award ceremony but uh maybe he'll get um 600 million uh skill shot there you go so yeah so I'm gonna head over to the mic all right thank you Zach yeah

Friday in the mystery pinball theater 8pm Pacific we're gonna watch a movie we're gonna make fun of it we're gonna Rift we're gonna get points and bonuses and stuff they don't matter but as long as you're funny yay bye I gotta go to bed hi do I want to what breakdown yeah I'm breaking down you want to chat for a second come here come here come here you do finish the thing hey guys we got we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna chat with Andre just for a second he's actually I can't believe this he actually is okay with uh with the chatting with us for a second yes thank you for the follow thank you for all the follows oh my God I got so many follows and I didn't say anything but thank you so much guys thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you come here Andre where is he where is he I gotta ask him one or two questions seriously and then we're gonna come here buddy put these on your head put all your junk down on the table there you go I like streams and talking on streams and stuff yeah that's that's what I'm winning I can't I know well uh so so how here's the thing somehow you managed to pull out those ball three moments people say you play really fast they every time they talk about Andre he's like oh he's a fast player he's he's just fast but I try and contend that and say no if you look at him he's he's thinking too what's your response to that he's playing fast all the time I mean I'll do stuff I'll do control stuff like dead passes and post passes and drop catches but then I tend to fire away a lot and so I mean I do and I think it's unnecessarily fast I'd have more control and time um if I slowed it down you think it's unnecessarily well it's necessary for me to play that way for me to feel right and there are a couple moments I forgot what I was playing tonight where I did slow it down and I trapped up um I can't remember what it was um it was a big Whirlwind today I think I remember James Bond James Bond I remember James Bond because you were down from Rob um and unfortunately Rob didn't know what jetpack multiball was but he played really well because it's so important yeah he had it lit too early it's actually pretty tough to hit on this one but it's a one to go for yeah yeah yeah but he put pressure on me everyone put pressure on me I think a problematic thing sometimes too is I might not play as hard until my back's against so I'll tell you back again that's dangerous as heck like how about I play an amazing ball one and and just blow it away I gotta be honest maybe I had one game like that tonight where I felt really strong about my opener and that's about it so um I don't know I should be more motivated I know Jim belzito comes from behind too and yeah um I don't know if he's the same way or he's feeling out the game ball one and two but um I do it in a different way though I really put myself in Jeopardy tonight I did it all night Toy Story I think Eric had 10 times my score going in the final Ball but I gotta start the big multiball and then also Eric um it's amazing what is going through your mind when you're like I see you walk up to the machine you're you're down and you start chatting what do you what is what's going on yeah what are you trying to figure out okay um what's my highest what's it called PPM points per minute or P yeah something um I don't know when I'm when I come up I just say okay I'm gonna lock in on certain features like on Wizard I locked in on the plunge point the fact that the right flipper was weak um and and the left flipper was strong and I remind myself of that stuff sometimes I pump myself up on other more complicated games you know like Guardians I say okay start this mode then go into Groot um right and uh well I mean that's kind of basic though for a game like Guardians like I mean you could still get there like you'd still be like all right what should I do I should just do the basic thing and get points up on the table Yeah and then and I kind of did that I started uh or with nothing else going on yeah that was the weirdest that's a typical yeah um and honestly I think on ball two with orb set up I should have because okay let's say I blow it trying to start a mode and bring it into orb I will get to start a mode on my next ball if I drain and uh so on ball two it would have been better if I did that and built up you know Gabe's so dangerous to a tons of scoring for mode tons of bonus from mode and then uh build up the Cherry Bomb yeah um I don't know what happened there sometimes I want to grab what's out there yeah yeah I wanted to build my bonus I like the fact I think that uh the mystery was on meaning I'd have an at a ball an additional at a ball right in that um again I could have stopped and thought about it it wasn't time sensitive because I didn't have a mode rolling maybe 2x scoring started before that too that might add something to do with it I'm not sure either that or I was about to pop it the the the orb rolling the orbs a second time is a double the super is all the points you got in the first or plus all the points you got in the second one I'm not sure yeah I'm not either you hit the 200 I just play it just kind of play it yeah just play it out yeah and that's that's pretty rare I must have had a lot of multiplier stuff going on and plus some of them I might have hit it off a combo um that was kind of like when it was bugging early on I remember we had San Francisco selfie league and it was kind of like the nuke thing that 24 used to have each person's orb super was bigger than the last person and it was nuts so basically if you're the last person to hit orb in one selfie League um interesting stuff so yeah some some of the rules I'm not on top of there's some change to Dr no I didn't last time I played duck no there wasn't a roving super on uh uh jetpack you know things like that oh yeah they changed it to a roving super to simulate the uh the premium jet pack because he moves around okay she had no idea why they did it I just noticed it tonight um you know a couple times I hit it right away but then when it started moving I was like what's going on I was confused a little bit but yeah I don't know what to say it's just thanks for being here because it's really exciting thank you it means a lot to everyone here you know this guy beats up on me he looks for my scores here he he and it's an honor to be in the crosshairs of Mr slamikov right now so well thanks for saying that I gotta say some of those scores are really tough really scary ones no no no no I don't see too many Duds like I'm like sometimes they're like how do you do that certain games I'd never gotten certain scores on especially the new ones and I think oh boy I better go for it I don't know why nothing against you I know of course I'm I'm honored I I have my Scorpio for 12 hours I'm happy yeah it's just for me going for this on the game Grand Champion the DC okay
