That's just the tip of the iceberg today on the Pinball Show. Episode 56, get you some! pinball is a game of skill for some it's a passion and a lifestyle it's time for the pinball show i just have to say it's pinball with personality I don't think I could hide what I feel inside Another day, knowing I love you Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. It is episode 56 of the Pinball Show. I'm your host, Zach Minney. Today, I have a virgin with me. No, not... I have a pinball podcasting virgin. one of my friends uh but she's never been on formerly a pinball podcast so we're going to introduce her right now she's a pinball player she's a collector not to mention she is the bouncer at studio c on the flipping out streaming channel ladies and gentlemen i present to you miss amanda hamilton what's going on amanda what's up zach thank you so much for having me this week i really appreciate it how was that introduction that feel pretty good that was good i liked it Not too bad, huh? I like the bouncer of Studio C. I am the hammer. I will kick your ass out. The hammer. You've been the bouncer or the moderator for Flip N Out Pinball Streaming Channel for, what, going on two years? Has it been that long? It's been about a year. It's been about ever since it switched over to Flip N Out Pinball versus Special Winlet. Oh, that's right. Yeah. The merger. Yes. Oh, those poor correspondents, too. They're still a little, they don't even know what to think. They're like, do I like this new pinball show or do I miss my Ken and Bill? I think they miss Ken and Bill. I'm like the step-parent. That's okay. You know what, though? On the Twippies, number three, they were in the top three for shows. So, hey, more power to them. Love those guys. It's always a great time on Monday. So I absolutely spend my week planning on checking them out. And same with the correspondents. We're top three podcast here, correspondents. Yes. Absolutely. Hey, TPN's doing okay for themselves, I hear. I think we're doing okay. Now, you frequent the pinball streams, such as Flip N Out Pinball. I do. What in the hell do you see in the group over there? Do you just hang out there? Do you go to any other pinball streams? I like watching them, number one, because I'm on the East Coast, so it gives me something to do after Mondays, which are always brutal. And they're great guys. I know them personally now. Through the stream, I've actually become good friends with them. So they're fun to talk to on and offline. They admit they suck at pinball, which I suck at pinball. So that really, really makes it close to my heart. And I also like the fact that they are going to be honest with you on a game. They're not just like, oh, this stream is sponsored by this pinball manufacturer and their games are the best ever. That's true. They're going to tell you, you know, hey, this game's OK. Or I really like this game, even though a lot of people don't like they're just they're real about it. And I know that BD and Bill and court, they all love Popeye so much. So, you know, that they're not, they're pushing Popeye. I am still waiting for you to get that Popeye up there so that they can take it out on the boat. Cause you know, BD said he'd play it on the boat, whether it falls over or not is another story. I need to. So, uh, I, what I hate in pinball podcasting is the, how did you get into pinball? Did you play? I hate that shit. So we're going to do a really fast version. Not that you're not interesting, Amanda. You are. That's why you're on here. But I just, quite frankly, don't give a shit about what got you into pinball. But how long have you been into pinball? And one sentence on how in the hell and why you got into pinball. We've been into pinball for about two and a half years now. And I got into it because I married a man child. I was going to say, weed. You got a mouse in your pocket there? Well, my husband is the one who started this crap. so it's his fault that I'm now addicted. Shout out to Morg. Yeah. What's he doing right now? I'd love to hear this. Oh, he is probably playing video games when he's supposed to be throwing some mods on my Wizard of Oz. Oh. What kind of mods did you get? The most recent ones, we have the light kit for the forest and we have the trough light and backlight that needs to be installed. God, you have been, you were a hassle in my ass for over a year to get and find you a Wizard of Oz. I came up short because I could never find one, but you finally found one. We did. We found the, potentially the last new in box yellow brick road for sale in the country. Holy schnurks. Yeah. So that game's been around. It went from Jersey out to Anaheim, California and back to Florida. And that was a graduation slash anniversary gift that will probably be held over my head for the next six years as an anniversary gift. That's no shit. You have to pay full price then on it, I guess. They didn't jack up the price, did they? No, he wanted it gone. Okay. He wanted it out of there. It had been sitting on a shelf, and honestly, it plays like it's been sitting in a box for two years. There's some quirks. There's some things that had to be adjusted. Well, that's Wizard of Oz. Yeah, exactly. And that's pinball. So which version is it? You're going to have to do it. It's a yellow brick road. It's so crazy. give shit about the yellow brick robe i'm telling you listener that's the one i think that's the one i'd get i didn't care at that point i've always wanted that game anybody who has ever been on any stream with me where we've talked about them um they will know i want a yellow brick road or i wanted a wizard of oz i didn't care emerald city ruby red yellow brick road you could probably draw a picture on some cardboard and slap it on top of another football machine and i'd be like yay I got Wizard of Oz but I love it I don't miss the monkey mechanism I've loved it since I was a kid oh the film? yeah I've loved the film I've loved just the whole premise behind it I think that it was groundbreaking at that time that they went from black and white to color as I got older I loved to put the Wizard of Oz up against Dark Side of the Moon because I also love Pink Floyd so you know the fact that my favorite band and my favorite movie merged was really cool we got a hippie among us people I don't know about a hippie, but it's definitely something cool if you haven't tried it. It's just something that's always resonated with me. And that light show. Come on. It's so pretty. But what's up with the, you're like a stagnant monkey, I guess. You know, it's fine. It's fine. No moving monkey over there. What else was different about that thing? I forget. There's something else that, no moving monkey. something with the castle or the gate up top, I thought. I know that there's no tornado in the other ones. You have to get the tornado in the other ones, don't you? Oh, maybe. Because they don't have room for the mag. Mine has the tornado. So it has the tornado. And then, you know, we've added a couple of mods. I have a close friend who decided to take his Wizard of Oz back down to its beauty that was initially purchased so he gave he sold me all of his mods so we have the um the uh sign that goes over oh that's nice yeah oh yeah oh yeah we have the flickering um state fair we have the upgraded crystal ball with the witch the witch witch which one the witch which we have the coveted one that is no longer available oh the um oh yeah um what's his name uh uh uh lermont lermont is it I thought it was guacamole. That guacamole or guava juice, whatever. Yeah, we'll go with one of those. You know, it's, yeah, something like that. But I have the witch that is no longer made. And, yeah, so it's been fun. It's been a lot of fun. My snooty ass likes Yellow Brick Road. This is why I like it more than any. I think it's the most beautiful-ish. But for me, it's the damn new cabinet. That's what I like the most. Yes. If I sit next to a GNR, if I sit next to a Wonka, the cabinet matches up. It bugged the piss out of me, listener, when I would have a Hobbit sitting next to a GNR because the cabinets are different. It's that dialed in, changed it, Pat Lawler new system, and I hate that the heads don't match up and it sits a little bit different depth-wise on the head. So that's the one I'd go with. Good call. And it's sitting next to a Wonka, so, I mean, it would work out aesthetically for you. You didn't get Wonka for me either. What the fuck? Well, I mean. Well, I mean. Give a shout out to the person that gave you the Yellow Brick Road was a dealer, right? It was. And honestly, I did not know. I apologize. I can't tell you who we got it from because I was not involved in this. This was literally a surprise of, hey, by the way, congratulations. Your Yellow Brick Road will be here at whatever time. And I'm like, I'm sorry, you're getting me a what? Man, I'm going to have you co-host every week because you're unwilling to throw out other dealers. Give a shout out. Thank you. Sorry, other dealer. Yeah, I would give credit if I knew who to give credit to, but I really don't, so I do apologize. I just know they were in Anaheim, and I know it had been sitting in the box for a while. Who cares? Anaheim, Schmanaheim, you can get them all shipped from Evansville, Indiana. Flip N Out Pinball, everybody. Which is where our Deadpool and our Turtles came from, ironically enough, that are sitting on the other side of the room. So shout out to Flip N Out Pinball for making those buying experiences more than exceptional. Much love. Thanks, Hammy. sorry you might call it you have a nickname or anything because hammy is just way too good i will get called hammy from time to time especially i'm a nurse in a past life so we would have a lot of amandas and um yeah that's what i was referred to or you know hey bitch i would do that sometimes too but then again i was probably not the nicest nurse yeah now you don't typically listen to a lot of pinball podcasts, I don't think, right? That's correct. I do not. I work from home now. I don't have a commute. You're not super familiar with the pinball show here. I know that Dennis loves it when you sing to him on the pinball show. That's all I need to know. I'll try to reframe from singing to you, Hammy. But man, it's just so tough not to belt out. I'm gonna take you by surprise And make you realize Amanda Huh? A little Boston there for you, Hammy Nice, I have never been serenaded by that song Ever before, every time a guy got real cheesy On a date Shit Really? They could have went with Didn't Barry Manilow have an Amanda song I think he did There's two or three of them out there But after the drinks flow, if I do hear that song on the radio, I will look at my husband and say, you know, they wrote this song about me, right? He's like, you know, this song's like 10 years older than you, right? Is your husband any good at singing? No. No. No. None of us are. It's terrible across the board. I hate that for you guys. We can't all have golden pipes like myself. You're cursed, Zach. You are 6'2 with a six pack and a beautiful voice. I mean, how are we graced with you in this earth? Hey, and big hands. So it is what it is. But I don't know all the Gottlieb. So that's, you know, that's my burden there. Well, that makes sense. That's why Dennis is around. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. Let's get into some news. But before we get into some news, how many pinball machines do you guys currently own? We currently have four. Oh, four. Yes, we have four right now. And we are clearing out some room. Florida. We don't have basements. We're kind of limited to what we have as far as square bedrooms go. We're clearing out some room for one, maybe two more. You've got a Wonka. You have a Woz. I know that you still have Turtles. We still have Turtles. That game is fantastic. People are cray-cray for pooping on that game. That game is awesome. It is. Deadpool? Deadpool, correct. Sweet. You're pretty close to streamer Jedi McMuffin? We are. I actually knew Jedi before I knew my husband. Wow. Did he sing Amanda to you? He did not because he wanted us to remain friends. Oh, I see. You guys put each other in a friend zone. That's fair. Well, he lived next door to my husband when my husband first moved to Florida. Is that how you all met? What the hell is going on? We all met through motorcycles. My boss rode motorcycles. Mike rode motorcycles. Jedi rode motorcycles. I met Jedi first on a motorcycle ride with my boss and her husband and then met my husband through that. And, yeah, it turned into a great group. Do you ride? I would just like to say I ride on the back of a bike. Okay. I used to ride on the back of a bike before I had kids. If you read this shirt, the bitch fell off. Basically, yeah. Yeah. You know. That is not offensive, listeners. I'm telling you that is a common t-shirt that I've seen at like Sturgis and all that other stuff. It is very common. And we always joke, you keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. It's pretty simple. Hammy can dish it. What? So, uh, poor Mike, tell people what your, uh, what your name is on Twitch in case they want to follow. So if you are following me on Twitch, I am Mrs. Lord helmet. Um, yes. And if you would like to follow my husband, he is Lord helmet. So my name is very original on that one. But you will see me on, obviously, Flip N Out Pinball on Monday nights. And if I'm suffering from insomnia, you may see me stalking Joel or stalking. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love watching Joel. He's great. George on Dope Panic Clip is probably one of my favorite really good pinball players. I love how much fun he has with it. I'll catch Jedi from here from time to time. Jedi's way too late. It is late. It is. But if we are in California, you may actually see us on his stream. Because we do go out and visit. We have family out there. Ambien or something. Hopefully our correspondents are doing some amount of work over there at the TPN news desk. Let's see what type of news they've drummed up this week. It's time for TPN industry news. Hi, this is Ken Rudberg with your Jersey Jack update. As Jersey Jack Pinball continues to push Guns N' Roses' elite down the line and out the door, many customers are finding that their long wait is over. This means that a slew of new Wi-Fi-enabled pinball machines are in people's homes, and this bodes well for Scorbit, the company that connects pinball machines to the Internet. Scorbit, if you'll remember, is on any Jersey Jack pinball machine with Wi-Fi enabled and came online last November. They also just released a major update, which includes something called Scorebit Vision. It's a package of web-based tools that allow development of leaderboards, live scoreboards, and streaming views, and is designed for large screens for arcades and game rooms. This newest version also includes better integration with streaming and lots of new options for leaderboards. For example, you can track scores at a single location, or you could look at a global leaderboard for a particular game. This is great news as it really expands the possibilities for Jersey Jock machines. And it does it in a way that brings the pinball community together and has the potential to get these machines in front of more people, which I think is a win-win. For the Pinball Show, this has been Ken Rudberg. Hello and welcome to the Pinball Show's Stern News Update. I'm Craig Bobby. So how slow is the news right now out there? Well, it's so slow, the U.S. government just called and said they think they can have everyone vaccinated in the USA, Mexico, and Canada before the next new pinball title is released. Now, it should be noted that the government thought the pinball died with President Nixon, so it's not what I would call on anyone's radar over at the White House at the moment. But don't tell the Stern coders things are slow, because the code train just keeps on rolling down those tracks. This week was Stern's latest rock pin, Led Zeppelin, with code V1.02 for the Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models. I think this update was mainly about fixing an issue which could cause a game to get stuck in a reboot loop. Of course, the reboot loop is much like the hot tub time machine loop, and we all know how that movie ended, with a Brian Eddy Back to the Future pinball machine with callouts by Michael J. Fox himself? Hmm. Well, that's all for this week. For the Pinball Show, I'm Craig Bobby. Catch you on the flip side. Matt Morrison here with your Chicago Gaming Company update for the week, and this week I've got a recap for you. Yes, it seems parts and manufacturing delays are plaguing CGC and many other companies, and what right now would be the perfect time to release a game... You blew it! Unfortunately, no new games to be had, as everyone waits for the next Stern release, and the slow trickle of GNRs out of JJP. We know that the next game is likely a Cactus Canyon remake, a Mark Ritchie design in the mix, a Dennis Nordman design, and Ben Heck's game towards the end of the line. Is CGC waiting to release all four games next year in a giant Deep Root-style assault on the industry? I guess taking a page out of Craig Bobby's book, we'll have to wait and see. Speaking of Craig Bobby's book, my next interview is with someone at Stern. Take that, Bobby. And was this whole news segment just so I could splice clips together? I guess only time will tell. Back to you guys. Thanks again, correspondents, all two of them, I think, for some news. Not a lot of news this week. But I did want to touch on a couple of things. We'll start off with Stern Pinball. There's a casting call for the Shoopies. I love that they're running with my trademarked title name, Shoopies. The Stern Heads Up Pinball Invitational. They're doing a casting call on the Shoopies. Listener, what that means is I sell on the IFPA that they're calling all pinheads, flippers, and pinball enthusiasts of all ages and genders. Now, heads up invitational before for Stern Pinball was very much Chicago-based people. Sometimes they were Stern-contracted employees, sometimes great friends of Stern employees. So they were a set group of people that were doing these things. Now they're reaching out and expanding the horizons when it comes to who's going to participate in these upcoming shoopies. Thank you for calling it shoopy. I love it. So there are submission guidelines if you want to enter into the contest. first you get to do a batman 66 super le three to five minute video i'm joking but you do have to do a video three to five minutes in length no need to edit or add music we're just looking for your personality to come through uh important at the beginning of the tape like a prisoner hold up a piece of paper that can be easily read through the camera with the following information your name so go to the ifpa pinball.com and submit for the upcoming shoopy i will say that it looks like on Stern's website, you can also enter that way as well. Just as an FYI. Hey, other co-hosts that are going to be on or that have been on, do your fucking homework because this girl's got it. Also in the news here at Stern Pinball, new code for Led Zeppelin version 1.02. Cleaning it up a little bit. Have you been able to play any Led Zeppelin yet, Amanda? I have not. I have not been on location to play anything fun in quite a while. so there's Florida I thought you guys quit the whole COVID thing a year ago or something just because Florida does things does not mean that Amanda does things yeah no I really really really like my lungs and hope that they continue to work efficiently without the help of a ventilator and also I've seen some of those ICU nurses and I've probably pissed them off at one point or another so you know I don't want them to use the bigger needle Nope. No, shout out to our nurses. They're phenomenal. But we have not been on location. Part of it, too, is, again, time. But I do have it on my list. The game looks phenomenal. Yeah, do you like the looks of it? Is it a theme that screams to your mic Or is this something that you could see yourself owning Or is this a pass for you I need to play it I love Led Zeppelin as well They one of my favorite bands I love that whole genre of music I get nervous with music pinball machines. Sure. Because at some point, you can only listen to the same song over and over and over again so many times. But, I mean, I've been listening to those same Zeppelin songs since I was six years old. So, I'm not tired of them yet. When we first saw it, I didn't love it. I think part of that, too, was the fact that GNR had just come out right before and the hype with that. And, I mean, GNR is such a beautiful game, trying to compare the two of them, which wasn't fair to either of them. But now that I've seen gameplay on it, I want to get my hands on it. Don't know if we don't, but I do want to get my hands on it and put some time on it because it looks really cool. Absolutely. Have you guys owned a music-based pinball machine? No. No. I would love to get a Beatles. I was voted down on that one. Why were you voted down? He's not into it? he's not a Beatles fan. He doesn't like the gameplay on it. Uh, it's just not his thing. He's like, I've already, I've already gotten a, we've already gotten a wizard of Oz. The hell now we got to get the Beatles. Well, I was going to take the Beatles before wizard of Oz, but yeah, no, I, this is how this is going to play out. Zach, I got wizard of Oz, which means that the next six games he will get to choose because I got visitor of Oz, you know, no, it's pretty democratic. We, We both get a vote on it. What do you guys think you'll get next? Is there something that you've been wanting, or is it like the new Stern that's going to be coming out? Is it the rumored Toy Story? What do you guys think you'll be into? If Toy Story rumors come out as true, that one I would love to get my hands on a CE. So, you know, I'd probably have to, like, hire a hitman to get all those people in line in front of me off of that list. But I would love to get hands on a Toy Story. I have heard rumors of a Godzilla, and I know that Mike has already reached out to you and said, If there is a Godzilla, he wants everything, including the squeaky toys. He wants it all. You know what? He's the only person that I have down for legit every accessory. Topper, side armor. And he does not care. He's like, I know that the Elvira topper was so expensive, and originally we were interested in that until we saw the price on it. And he's like, I don't care. I want, if it's Godzilla, I want all of it. Yeah. Okay. Now, we do have, speaking of new Stern pinball machines, we have rumors that are heating up for this next title. Still guessing. It sounds like it may release. But a lot of people are focusing in on Stern's next game. We know it's close. Now, I'm going to cite Kaneda's pinball podcast. He claims to have the next title as well as the next spooky title. Now, Kaneda is typically about as accurate as a drunk meteorologist, but we're going to roll for shits and giggles here on some of the stuff that he's been talking about. Kaneda indicated that the next title by Stern Pinball is not a film, and it's not a music-based pinball machine. Hmm. Okay. He indicates that the license is ginormous. It's huge. It's a big-ass license that everybody's going to want. Man, Hype Train has left the station. Yeah. It's kind of indicated that it's a television series. and tried to confirm if he is right about the title, that it is not Mortal Kombat, nor is it Godzilla yet. Hmm. Interesting. With him, I don't know, because he's wrong more than he's right. But, hey, every once in a while, you know, the, what is it, a broken watch. A broken clock. It's right twice a day. Thank you, because I'm not good with the whole sayings. I think of watches now, and I think Dennis Creasle says. Yes. So any guesses as to what you think using these details, albeit possibly not true? Not a movie, not a music. Not a movie, not music, and a huge title. Yeah, what the hell? Any thoughts, anything you would love to see Stern make? You know, from that aspect, and I was thinking about this the other day, like what games would I think would be cool to see? Pokemon is hot right now. Oh, that's a good call. I think that Pokemon would be really cool if you're a parent or a nerd like me. Go to the store trying to buy a pack of Pokemon cards right now. You can't. I'm telling you. I mean, you really can't. No, you can't. So I think that that one is hot, and I also like the fact that that one is something that would cross generations. As a kid, I watched Pokemon. My kid watches Pokemon now. She collects the cards. Mm-hmm. Okay, Pokemon's a good guess. That one has potential. I could see that one. I was thinking of that, too. I was thinking maybe Pokemon because it was a television series-ish. But there were films. I don't know what to make. I don't personally want a Pokemon pinball machine. I'm not into Pokemon. And I don't know if the large demographic that buys pinball machines would be into it. But I have a lot of friends in the industry that whenever we're chatting around a fire with some beers, they say Pokemon would be pretty revolutionary. Like that is a huge, huge IP. So, and, and it is on fire right now, that IP. So maybe it just wouldn't really interest me much. I was thinking maybe power Rangers that that's a newish type of, I don't know if it's strong enough. I want a Mandalorian. I don't think it's strong enough. Can we get Mandalorian? Just call it, call it a day. Brian, Eddie. Okay. Hopefully you're doing Mandalorian. So Zach, I'm going to level with you because I love you and I want to be honest with you as a friend. Thanks, Hammy. Mandalorian would be badass. I love the theme. I love Mandalorians in general. I have a Mandalorian sticker on the back of my car. I am a huge Boba Fett fan. Okay. Yeah, like Boba Fett is my guy. Boba Fett makes me hard. He's a lady boner. It gives me check wood. You know, he is the only one in the galaxy that Darth Vader was scared of or at least respected. Okay, yeah. You know, so Mandalorians are cool. I don't know that there's enough staying power with everything else that Disney is putting out on Disney+, especially with the Book of Boba Fett coming out soon. I don't know that it has the power to do it. What? We had a Star Wars pin. Our first pin was the Star Wars Pro. Okay. Yeah, it was the Star Wars Pro. Got it because we love Star Wars. Got rid of it because it was so repetitive. Oh, God. I don't know that Mandalorian would be a keeper. Because you're going to have the Hyperloop. collection. We did have the Hyperloop. There was a premium then. Okay, so we had a premium. Listen, it was a few years ago. I'm glad you had the premium. You purchased correctly. And that got old? The call-outs got old. Well, that and we may have accidentally bought a Pirate CE as our second pin. So, you know, when you have a Pirate CE, you're not playing Star Wars. Do or do not. There is no try. Yeah, I mean, Yoda gets all of the end of the Everball. It does. It just became one of those games where it got repetitive. Why don't you think Mandalorian could work? I just don't think it has the staying power on it. I don't know. I think it would be a cool theme. I would play it on location. But as much as I love the Mandalorian culture and the Mandalorian idea, I don't see it as having the staying power for it. I think maybe it's a little bit too soon. We didn't know Mandalorian was a hit until... I mean, they would have really had to been on top of that IP, Stern, that is, would have to be on top of that IP immediately once it started on fire season one. Immediately. Absolutely. But if anybody's going to do it, I think Stern Pinball would do it. I don't know what the hell it is, but I'm excited if it's a huge license that everybody's going to want. Man, I'm excited. I'm just curious what else it could be, because the only other huge licenses that I could think of that are television shows that everyone will want is like CSI or Law and Order or something, you know, like the shows that have been around forever. Nobody wants to play those. Nobody wants to play Law and Order pinball? No. No. No. SVU? No. No! Nobody wants to shit. I'm just trying to imagine that in my head, and my head is literally telling me, no, I'm not going to think of that. I mean, I've compiled a whole, we need to do an episode once on all of the pinball themes. I've got at least 50 lined up here. But I look through all of them, and a lot of them are films. So I don't know what it could be. You know what I think could work that everybody's going to shit on me on? Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Get off me. Yes. Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. That's what I grew up with. He's like the most purest form of human. Love him. I can see it. Or what about this? What about like a super slow, super easy Bob Ross? And if you ball drain, he tells you it's not a mistake. It's a happy accident. You see little like illustrated birds flying across the screen. I would totally buy a Bob Ross pinball machine. I think it would be cool. I think Mr. Rogers has plenty of content. I agree. Think about the world under glass for that. Meow. And that cat comes up all the time. Yeah. Oh, God. A trolley. I'm probably dating myself you're a bit younger than I believe no I am actually older than you sir edit that part out because I'm a baby she said edit that part out you don't know how this show works but did you watch Mr. Rogers growing up I did I grew up watching Mr. Rogers I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo yes Captain Kangaroo what about Reading Rainbow Okay, listen, if you hate on the Marburg, you and I are going to throw down. We will fight. Butterfly in the sky I can go twice as high Take a look, it's in a book A reading rainbow So what about this one, though? Because you and I grew up in that same age group. What about something like G.I. Joe or Transformers? But not Michael Bay Transformers, because nobody wants to see Megan Fox's kinky ass on a pimple. What happened to Megan Fox? She used to get me rumbling around, but, nah, a little loose for me now. No thanks. She wanted to be taken seriously as an actress, which I respect. Is that what she did? Yeah, so she got fired. Oh, I didn't see that on the backstory here. Oh, yeah. Apparently, there was a whole thing where Michael Bay wanted her to be sexier and basically be a ditz. and apparently she's kind of high maintenance but didn't want to be a sexy dick. That's what Shia LaBeouf's for. Yeah. What happened to him, too? Putting paper bags on his head and calling her. I don't know. Yeah, so we're around the same jam growing up. I think all those would be very good. I could see a cartoon Transformers, especially with the success the Turtles has had. I think that that would be something in that group, too. It would do fantastic. I wasn't the most strong boy. I wasn't, you know, digging holes and crawling in them with my house. I wasn't that kid. I was more of an intellectual type. So G.I. Joe's fine. I'm more of an adventures of gummy bears kind of guy and tailspin and rescue rangers. But I could get behind it. A little magic school bus going on. That'd be kind of fun. Oh, my gosh. Miss Lizzie? Isn't that what her name was? I think so. No, that was a lizard. I forget what her name was. Mrs. Frizzle. Mrs. Frizzle. There we go. So let me ask you this then. You figure our generation has seen this a lot. You have all of these cool cartoons from when we were kids, X-Men, Transformers, The Turtles, all that cool stuff, G.I. Joe, that got turned into movies as we became adults. And it sold well for our generation because we were reliving our childhood only with really cool special effects and shit blowing up everywhere. Yeah. So at what point does that transition over to pinball where we start seeing these updated remakes of pinball machines for these titles that were super cool when people first got into pinball? I think it's going to be a little bit more time for things like Simpsons Pinball Party, Family Guy. I don't think Family Guy is going to be relevant for a long, long time. For a long, long time. If ever again. No. It's Rick and Morty world now. Family Guy is the old man. No, that ain't going to happen. Transformers I could see. I could see stuff like that. But I don't think we're going to see it from those other licensed properties. Until it becomes like just retro old school yumminess. like we were talking a week or so ago about the Disney themes. As Craig Bobby always says, we shall wait and see. We didn't have to wait this week to check out the Fox Cities Pinball District 82 presentation of, in my opinion, the tournament of the year thus far in pinball, the Great Lakes Pinball Open. Did you hear about this? I did not. Yeah, it was a big one. It happened up in Wisconsin, I believe, District 82. who Tom Graff, TPN, and Fox Cities Pinball puts on. He's like leading the way when it comes to these competition and Thorin up there, but leading the way when it comes to streaming, broadcasting, these pinball tournaments. They had a Penskins tournament. I think I was watching a lot of it. I know that the, spoiler alert here, the first round, I don't know if it was Classics, but Eric Thorin, I believe, won that. Elwin came in second. Keith Elwin and Ray Day went up there. And Travis Meary, my sweet, sweet baby Travis Meary from Oklahoma. Travis Meary got third in that target match play, the big one there. TPN's very own Ray Day takes home the win over Keith Elwin. Congratulations. Elwin got second in that one, I believe. Third, oh, who got third on that one? I don't know who took home third. My bad. I will say, though, another strong showing by Jane Verwis. Damn it, Jane. Jane is on fire. Chicago's own hot nudger. Killing it. Killing the competition. I love it. I love it. I love to see everybody getting into it. I love to see everybody being able to get back together to do it. I think it's phenomenal. At one point, we had three of my freaking favorite people in front of the camera. We had Bray Day, Travis Murie, and Tom Graff. And I was like, if I could have those three just sit and talk pinball, those three need to do a podcast. That would be awesome. That would be very cool. But my question is, who are you cheering for? Because that's like picking your favorite kid with all of your kids standing around in front of you. That was a tough one. I could have easily just picked Drew at Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. That's like the independent vote. But I wasn't really rooting for anybody in particular, to be honest. And sometimes in these pinball competitions, I'll be real, even though it's a dick thing to do. I root against some people. But no, I was pretty neutral on this one. I just liked watching the festivities unroll. Tom Graff might be the sweetest human being in existence, so I'm always rooting for him. I'm always rooting for Ray Day because it's Ray Day. And Travis Murie's awesome, too. I like watching Keith Elwin play. I like watching Jane. She's an ass kicker, too. So it's tough for me to pick. And Rachel Lilge, a new podcaster. I still haven't played in a tournament. Have you ever played in a pinball tournament? Oh, God, no. I'm terrible at pinball. I know. Your daughter was kicking your ass on Waz the other week. She, listen, I came back. I came back. It took me three games. Oh, you came back. It took that long? Yeah. She kicks my ass on that game. I'm telling you, that was my unicorn. I wanted it for so long, and we got it. And I would play that game on location and break $300,000 regularly. I have broken $100,000 exactly zero times since we got it in our house. I finally hit like $82,000 the other day, and I was so proud of myself. That's pretty low. I mean, I'm not going to lie. Oh, I know. That's an ass-kicker game, though. That game's tough. That game is brutal. And the rule in our house is if you suck, you have to play better. And apparently I am not doing that. I just hate the outlanes. It's stupid. Toto. Oh, who's got the worst temper in your home? Me. Really? Oh yeah. Do you throw a hissy fit whenever you do poorly? I don't throw a hissy fit. I've gotten to the point that I'll walk away because I'm trying to not teach my kid to throw a hissy fit. But if she's not home, I flat out cut the machine out. do you take it out on Mike like you walk out and he's like take out the fucking trash I've asked him I don't know how many god damn times no but there's more than once that I'll walk out of the pinball room and I'm like this fucking game is stupid we're selling it this shit's going on pin side today you know so there's times where that's come up there's been times where I've joked with the guys and said you know hey if you guys see a yellow brick road that's relatively new with low plays and lots of mods on it on pin side mind your own business because she was being a bitch again so i love that it's fun but but he will be the one that because i don't tilt i'm a very i don't tilt what is that i don't tilt i i'm not physical with my pinball machines i love watching courtney bowman play because oh my gosh all around like i could picture you when he was playing your zeppelin and you just going oh my god stop yeah because they had to reset the camera so many times because Courtney was, you know, he was dancing with it. Courtney does what I do as well, and it's the most ignorant, idiotic thing ever. It's that after you've drained, you get angry, and then you tilt just out of anger. It's like, that is not getting your ball back, dipshit. So I'm guilty of that. I'm like, you son of a bitch. Yeah, if you ever see me get a tilt warning, either the tilt bob's jacked up on the game really, really bad, or there's a ball stuck somewhere that the reset's not getting it. Yeah, otherwise, I'm not a tilter. I don't dance with them. My kid will tilt. My kid gets physical. Oh, wow. Yeah, her little 45-pound self, she can get a wide body moving. Wow. And it's pretty awesome. She's getting into it, and I love the fact that she is. That's pretty significant. That's pretty badass. I like it. Yeah, she's a kick-ass kid, so it's pretty cool. But Mike will, if a ball drains or a ball is not doing what he thinks it should be doing because he is playing piss poor, he will get physical with him. And I'm just like, listen, play better. Does he ever give the old lockdown bar old, bam. Yes. Let's out him. Let's out him right now. I mean, but we have all done that at least once. Oh, you're looking up for him. That's sweet. No, he does it all the time. I'm waiting for glass to break at some point. Speaking of you. Oh, my God, this last weekend. I don't know what the hell is up with spouses. This last weekend we were hanging out, going to grab a bite to eat. And what is up with people who can't make up their mind about where to fucking eat? Do you guys have this thing? Listener, do you guys have this thing where you or your spouse or your partner, they can't make up their GD mind? They're the picky ones. I'm calling you out, Nicole. She is the picky one. She will eat nothing. but god forbid you were like uh where you want to go eat i'm like if you're the picky one you decide where we eat because i don't care no no no it's always this thing do you guys always have a thing about where in hell eating you drive around you're like well there goes our freaking night we do we do um the night before last we had visited my cats and family in town so we decided we were going to go visit it got late it was getting close to the little one's bedtime we hadn't eaten yet. I was starving. And he's like, what do you want to eat? And I'm like, I don't care. But if we don't hurry, I'm going to slap some barbecue sauce on my arm and start gnawing on it. I'm hungry. And I'm going to get hangry in a few minutes if we don't find food. Well, what do you want to eat? I'm like, I don't care. Hangry lives are the scariest. Hangry anybody is scary. I was like, I don't care where we eat. You're the picky one. I'll throw out, you know, well, let's go here. Let's go. No, I don't really want that. And he's not a picky eater. It's just he's not in the mood for that. And finally, I'm looking and I'm like, I don't care where we go. Feed me now or somebody's going to get hurt. And then you finally figure out a place and then it's like 45 minute wait and you're like, oh, forget it. Go to McDonald's. Or my other favorite is you go out somewhere, you know, the waiters are taking a little bit longer and I'm not sure if you guys have experienced this in Indiana, but our restaurants are back open now. and we don't have enough waitstaff. Sure. You just don't have it. So you're sitting there and you have the menu in front of you and you're reading through it. Nine times out of ten, I can tell you what I want within the first 30 seconds. Yeah. All right, are you ready to order? Give us a few more minutes. Oh, see. I'd kick Nicole under the table. I be like what do you mean You complaining in the car about going to eat and now we pick a place and you don even know what the hell you going to eat Yeah I have a friend who will look up the menu online before we even go See that Nicole That Nicole Still not know what they want to eat. I'm like, just. And what's the fucking sharing thing? Like, whenever I get a look from my wife, she's like, what are you eating? And I'm like, oh, here comes the fucking sharing question. And she's like, I was thinking about getting the F. This is how Nicole talks to me. It's getting the F. And then, do you want to share something? like oh what do you say anytime i'm sharing something i end up with food i'm not really wanting but i don't want the i don't care enough about food food's not a big priority to me not gonna lie listener don't really care much about food it's a necessity so i make sure i get it down but uh most days i maybe eat once a day the entire day the whole sharing question i'm like oh my god yeah we we get into more arguments and back and forth with the damn food situation I've named five places. Pick one. Shit. You name all nasty places. You just want to get home so you can play pinball. Go on a fast food plan. I don't want fast food. Is that all I'm worth to you? Well, honey, I said you could get cheese on it. That's right. Email thepinballnetwork at gmail.com if you have a thing with your other about picking a damn place to eat. Jersey Jack Pinball is in the news. Full steam ahead. Boop, boop. On GNRLE's. When are you getting your machine? I have no clue. oh have you played gnr yet i have not looks pretty it's on the list it does and i know that we talked to you when they first came out and had kind of discussed potentially picking one up and then kind of backed away and we were making up our minds excited about it i want to play it i love the theme i love the artwork i'm not a huge guns and roses fan but that's one that i definitely want to get my hands on put some time on absolutely the detail just the level of detail on that game blows my mind. Oh, for sure. And I also love the fact that every time you see Eric talk about that game, he literally lights up like a little kid. He turns into a five-year-old again. He does. I love that about Eric. And you can see it in his work. He put the time in. That entire team did. The entire JJP team just blew it out of the water. So congrats to everybody involved in that game, everybody at JJP. Well done. That game looks badass. Mm-hmm. It's a lot of fun. I still have people that are buying new ones from Nicole and I. And I'm like, just a heads up, this came out last year, and people are still waiting for their day one order. So if you're not in a hurry, I will be happy to sell you one. But if you're looking to get one in the next couple months, I would say call somebody else, but they're not going to have it either. So don't know what to tell you. Secondary market, I guess. I like to be up front with people. when do you think I'm going to get it? I really don't know. Eventually. Eventually you will get it. Yeah. I haven't a clue. Let's be realistic. There are other pinball manufacturers that people had ordered games from that are still waiting on those as well. Jeans were never made. Oh, wow. Yeah. That is a very true story. But you won't get that from Spooky Pinball because we've heard that their next released pinball machine is in June. That's not far off, Amy. That's not. We've got a couple. That's not. Hey, something new from starting in May, something new from Spooky in June. American Pinball's got something coming. Yeah, and then maybe we'll get a title from Jersey Jack by the end of the summer. So I'm hoping that everybody's saving up those stimulus checks so that they can buy, buy, buy. Oh, that's what I'm talking about, girl. Wow, love it. The June release. Spooky, why can you not just make Beetlejuice or Scooby-Doo? That's it. Boom, done. Sold out. What's there to argue? Why is it going to be anything besides Beetlejuice or Scooby-Doo? Why? I'm not sure there's better themes out there. I'm not going to argue with you on this one. I hear some hesitation there. Well, no, because neither title speaks to me. Don't make me serenade you again. I don't love either of them. Listen, neither of them really speak to me. Beetlejuice would be cool. Scooby-Doo would be cool. I would play it on location. I don't think we would ever own it. But I could see it. I really could. Like, what the fuck there, Amanda? What the hell you got against Scooby-Doo? No, I don't have anything against Scooby-Doo, except, you know, he was a stoner and they tracked down bad guys wearing masks. Exactly. I mean, it's perfection. The one thing that I think would be super cool, though, if they did do a Scooby-Doo is if our good friend Marc Silk was in on the voice acting on that one. I think that would be fantastic. Yeah, he's legit Scooby-Doo. Everybody can do a Shaggy. Everybody can do a Scooby. But can you do Fred? can anybody do a Fred though? Fred's tough and for all you haters out there yeah you heard me here Scrappy Doo needs to be in there Scrappy Doo I'd love to see Spooky Pinball make Beetlejuice or Scooby Doo I think those are the A plus titles I don't know what the hell they're making again a per Canadian Pinball Podcast claims that the next title is spooky themed it's not like a horror theme but a more spooky, campy, fun kind of stuff. And the theming has always been around. What if it's Tales from the Crypt? Nah, been done. Not strong enough. I don't think they'd redo it. Are you afraid of the dark? Oh my gosh. Remember those books from when you were a kid? Goosebumps? Yes! I could get behind an original Goosebumps novel pin. That would be very cool. Each book is a mode. yeah absolutely I think that would be really cool it's still not a it's still not a home run hit like a Beetlejuice or Scooby Doo but it would be cool so what you're saying is Beetlejuice or Scooby Doo would be games that you would want to play that's what I'm kind of getting I'm trying to kind of deduce this from you here's money and as long as it slips that's all I care about and we know the Scooby Doo license has been attained in the past well he's Nick Parks when he purchased the with the pinball company when he purchased the Jetsons license. I think Hanna-Barbera, he bought the Scooby-Doo license as well. That's the slash rumors that was going around the water cooler in the past, which is true, but I don't know if that means no offense to Nick Park. That kind of offense. The fucking Jetsons sucked, and he helped design that one. Cool. Rot row. No, stay away from it. Scooby-Doo needs to be made. It's never been made. It is a golden opportunity to make trunks full of money. But Amanda Hamilton thinks it's a shit license. I don't think it's a shit license. I just don't think it will ever live in my house. That's all. It's not going to turn into a tax deduction like the rest of the kids downstairs. What about the cat? Yeah, right. Don't you have a cat? How many cats do you have? Are you a crazy cat lady? We're getting there. We have two. Oh, no, Amanda. Oh, two's not bad. Yeah, we only have two. And in all fairness, our cats are cool. One of our cats barks and the other one talks. One of your cats barks? She does. She sits in our bedroom window and looks over the neighbor's backyard. Here's their dog barking. So she barks back. And then the one that talks, she'll walk around and say hello. And she'll say Callie, which is her name. And she will also growl. She says Callie. She says Callie. She's not a fucking parrot. Like, what do you mean she says Callie? That's just how cats sound. Ah! Zach, I'll record it and send it to you. This cat talks. But she growls, so if the trash man's picking up the trash, you would think she's like a little boxer or something. She's sitting in the window, and she's up on her front paws, hair standing up, and she's literally growling like a dog. It's hilarious. You sure it's not a purr? I can see you getting mixed up with a growl and a purr. Oh, no, this is a growl. This is a flat-out growl. Because she purrs all the time, too, but this is a purr. Like it is a full on, I am going to attack your face and kill you in your sleep growl. Man, did you see the viral video of that bobcat that attacked that lady? Oh my God, yes. Why did he pick it up? I mean, I probably would have. What are you going to do if it's attacking your wife? I'd get all up in that thing. We had a bobcat in our yard last year. Oh, for real? Yeah, for real. We actually, it was right outside of our dining room window. Florida has bobcats. We've also had a cougar in our neighborhood. bet you got a lot of cougars down there that's where they retire not just miss jones down the street this was an actual florida cougar okay um yeah so no we had a bobcat they're very skittish they don't come out in the day a lot unless there's something wrong i just i love that video though where he's like setting down his coffee and you need to wash my car so fucking i'm gonna shoot that motherfucker and i'm like oh my gosh yeah no that's my wife oh my gosh yeah public service announcement he did he did he did public service announcement listeners if you encounter a wild animal such as a bobcat don't pick it up turn around and go the other way i promise this will save you so much money in hospital bills oh man i would have fucked that bobcat up i would have went back for more i'd be like no you didn't come up in my yard attacking Nicole. I highly doubt that. That cat was scared and trying to get away is what it was. You had wife on one side of the car. You had husband on the other side of the car. That would have broke its neck, man. I don't mess around with animals that act a fool like that. Nope. And nobody's got time for that. Good on him, though. Dude, she was screaming like a bear had her. Well, the initial scream was the bobcat. That bobcat sounded pissed off. He was terrified and pissed. Wow. And then she started screaming, and I'm like, oh, okay. Well, it threw me, though, because did you see, she was like carrying an animal carrier. It looked like. Yeah. So I was like, is this a regular cat? I've got to say, not too intimidated. It didn't look too big. It looked like a really muscular domestic cat. They're not huge, but at the same time, I mean, they're also wild animals that tear meat off of deer and stuff like that. So, I mean, I'm not going to go lay down next to one and snuggle. Good morning. I need to wash my car. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh my God, it's a bobcat! Oh my God! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Watch out! Oh, shoot that fucker! Get up! Watch out! Watch out! It's a bobcat! Take my wife! A bobcat! Do you think you could take a bobcat? How many rounds are in my gun? Shoot the left spinner! Oh, wow. Look at you. Yeah, because I'm not, I don't, uh-uh, no. Again, yeah, it's like, you know, Steve Irwin's house up here. We got all sorts of wildlife that we see. We've had gators. We've had all sorts of stuff. Uh, no. I'm just going to shoot it. Crikey. This son of a bitch is fighting a bobcat. Oh, man. Yeah, sorry for the, sorry for the, uh, what's that called? I'm having a brain fart. The complete derailing of the train of thought? Absolutely. Second time there. Wow, that was meta distraction there. Woo. I like it. Let's talk about more pinball here. Multimorphic was in the news last week. I missed this one, but their newest game, Heist, got a code update for a final wizard mode and a, oh, man, dick measuring contest here. 15 ball, multiball. All right. Gentlemen, I'm going to share something with you in pinball land. Women are not impressed with 15 balls flying at their flippers at the same time. It is not a turn on. It does not get us going. their energy to slowing with this. No, no. I mean, anything after about six is just unnecessary. So, get it under control. I can't even imagine. I play turtles, and that... I can't imagine 15-ball multiball. I'm sorry. My mind's still in the gutter. I'm picturing myself now having a scrotum filled with six testicles. I just wonder what they would be like. Probably very painful and difficult to walk. Yeah, more ample opportunity to get them hit. Oh, sorry. I never said this show was mature. It's cool. That's why I came on it. You're going to end up a carpal tunnel trying to flip 15 balls on a multiball. Yeah, because turtles, you got the premium, right? We got the premium, yes. Yeah, that's an eight baller. Yeah, it's a beast. You don't look at the play field anymore. I do like when there is a lot of balls. I'm particularly pretty good at multiball. Not going to lie. Not too bad at controlling the ball action on a multiball. It's one of my highlights. You were one of those people that actually played Mortal Kombat by using moves that you knew. I was the person who played Mortal Kombat by just pushing all the buttons really fast and hoping to God I was facing the right way. Spammed the same kick button every time that you just pause and every time somebody gets close. I'm like, you son of a... I was always Scorpio, so it was always the back-back A to get that. Get over here. Get over here. yeah that was me yeah oh yeah that was me playing mortal combat 15 ball multiball is insane i gotta play it i still haven't played heist i'm looking forward to playing that at some point the game looks tremendously entertaining it looks like a lot of fun still can't get behind so wait wait hang on now i have played a game that you have not played oh shit you've played heist i have played heist it's fun it is really fun um it's it's really it's just a cool game visually it's it's kind of geeky but it's super fun to walk up to i don't know the rules but that doesn't stop me from playing any other games either it is a good time okay would you would you ever buy a multi-morphic 10 grand to 12 grand or whatever i don't know i they're fun to play on location i don't know that that would go in the lineup unless there was like disposable income in all if my other pinball wants and needs were met. Wouldn't bring them home to your mother. Okay. Yeah, not necessarily. There's other titles that I have on my list way above that. And I'm sure that Mike has other titles on his. And frankly, we don't have the room. We cap out between five and six in our location right now. That's what sucks about it. If you thought your Wizard of Oz was happy, try to lift up a multi-morphic. We moved our Pirate CE up and down stairs twice. And our stairs have two 90-degree turns in them. Yeah, that's hell. Hell on earth. We have people that won't talk to us anymore. It's fine. Can you blame them, honestly? No, no, not really. There's only so much that beer can get you. Yeah, pizza and beer my ass. No thanks. I can picture all six testicles now having hernias. No, nope, not doing it. That'd be a hell of a surgery right there. Yeah. Speaking of multi-balls, we'll go with that because the thing I edited out was too controversial. Pinball Brothers, another video came out. of, typo here, six more Alien pinball machines that were ready to box up. Any interest in Alien pinball? Does the theme do anything for you? Is Mike a big fan of Alien? He seems like he would be a big fan of possible Alien pinball. He is a big fan of Alien. Okay. That is a theme of his. That's one of his dream themes, that Godzilla or his. I think he and I are fans about that, yeah. I'm not surprised. I've seen some pictures. I've seen a couple of releases on this. The game doesn't look bad. I'm not a fan of Alien. I've never seen the movies. I'm not into scary movies or Alien sci-fi. It just doesn't really do anything for me. Not into scary movies. I'm not. Are you scared? I worked trauma in a major city. I guarantee you whatever they put out, I can top it with stuff I've actually seen. I just don't particularly care for it. Oh, if we do another podcast, you're going to have to go through some of the supernatural stuff that may or may not have happened to you and your family. Oh, yes. That was so weird. I forgot you were on that call that day. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. That was really weird. Ken Cromwell loves that stuff, so he was on the edge of his seat. So, and ironically enough, you know, we were talking about that whole thing with my kid. Obviously, I'm sure this part will be edited out. I don't care either way. But we were talking about that whole thing with my kid. And, you know, was there ever like another pregnancy or anything like that? She's still from time to time will mention it. And I just had a hysterectomy. So like there are no more kids at all, but it's still brought up. And I'm like, OK, please stop. You're giving me goosebumps. You know what? I want to keep that in this podcast just because it's the weirdest part to start. And it leaves people a cliffhanger. They're like, what the hell did we're going to leave that in? So, Zach, now that we've talked about having so many balls that you can't control them and aliens and scary items. Blushing. Can you help tell our listeners about what's going on in market trends right now? What's up, what's down, and what's coming around? Oh, see, I thought you had me all excited. I thought you were actually going to give the trademarked, screamed response of pinball market trends. Do you not have it in you? Listen, I can do it. I can do it. back now that we have discussed everything else happening in pinball let's talk about the pinball market trends wow no fucking lackluster there scream it holler it pinball market trends that's how you gotta get it oh boy let's see this let's talk about us some pinball market trends it's still a bit too no i'm just i'm just not good i don't have it in me it's like the leroy jenkins thing on the video games you know leroy jenkins you haven't seen that oh my god dennis is rolling his eyes right now there's a video on youtube with some like a group of guys playing call of duty or something and they're all sitting there like strategizing and this one guy just runs out and all you hear in the background is Leroy Jenkins and he gets himself blown up yeah oh okay nice I don't know about this I'm gonna have to look this up yeah sorry Nicole Zach's gonna be on YouTube for the rest of the day fuck off Leroy Jenkins this is my show and it's pinball market trend turning up this week is nothing in particular uh honestly it's just unreleased stuff everybody is waiting anticipating drooling for unreleased stern pinball machine that's next unreleased spooky announcement coming forth american pinball a 50 excitement as the other ones but still excitement those are what is trending up right now because that's what everybody's talking about that's what everybody's waiting on i only report facts here even if it is not as sexy as we want it to be like a specific pinball machine but it is what it is the entire market's up so the new stuff is on fire. So much so, like the interested list, it's not just a flipping out thing, people. No, no. You call all your other dealers, they've got these lists as well and they're probably full as well. You snooze and you may have loosed. You lost. Loosed, lost. You snoozed, you lost. Doesn't have the flow. All streaming out this week, I've got to give a shout out to the best damn group of pinball streamers in existence. The TPN streamers. I don't know if I've done this the last couple of weeks, Amanda, but These people in particular this last week, just as examples, I'm going to show you how big pinball has become with the help of TPN. Mystery Pinball Theater 3000, Monin over there. I was tuning into his stream a couple days ago. You know, I don't know, just 130 to 150 consistent viewers. No big deal, right? Come on. That was like, that is the cream of the crop. a year ago, people would have been like, there's no way a pinball streamer besides Deadflip could hold those kind of numbers. Think again. It's here and it's only getting bigger. Manu, shout out. Love you, buddy. And he was even announcing some exclusive content. Virtual pinball. He is working with the creators and the coders to give you a Stern Batman 66 virtual pinball machine. New and improved where you don't have to worry about that back disc not working. Oh, nicely done, my friend. Also within the sub-trend is Fliptronic's special. They did a Tron Legacy stream with a special guest, Don't Panic, Flip's George. We all know how much George loves Tron. Super entertaining. Numbers were off the charts. And if that wasn't enough for you, only at TPN does Scott Danesi come in and alter the code of Tron Legacy so that it mocks Fliptronic as they are playing. that was unbelievable it even rigged rolled their asses during the wizard mode come on come on this is gold right here I mean where else can you get this type of entertainment and let face it george is a phenomenal person to watch anyways so anytime we get to watch him not only play an awesome game but also get his ass picked on yeah that perfect and nowhere else are you going to get not one jordan not one becca but a pair of jordans a pair of beccas and they're the best in the business Fox Cities Pinball i talked about it earlier but tom graff is the kindest, most gentle dentist that you'll ever put in the chair of. I don't know, maybe he's rough when it comes to teeth, but when it comes to streams, he's a joy to watch. He brings everything tournament-based, and he's proud to represent that TP in there. So I love Fox that he's pinballing all of the things that they're truly doing for pinball. Kind of a bias to training up, but hey, if the numbers back it up and they don't lie, I'm only reporting the facts. And last but not least, training up this week is a special kid. There's a gentleman, a fan of the pinball show that emailed us and that he listens, gosh, this is probably a bad idea, but listens with his child this show. And his child is in love with pinball margatrends. So much so that the child oftentimes throughout the day will just scream out, bye, bye, bye! And I fell in love, love, love with this little guy. I'm going to play for you his perfect production of Bye, Bye, Bye. I mean, come on. Is he not the cutest little stinker? You can't pay for marketing like that. That is the best you will ever get. I'm not crazy about other people's kids all the time. I'm going to be honest with you. But I would babysit that little guy free of charge. I mean, come on. That is awesome right there. I love it. She's a little stinker. She's a little stinker. That kid is being raised properly. Nicely, nicely done. And unfortunately, though, trending down this week is one of my favorite games in my collection. I don't know why it's trending down. Maybe because there's a new release coming out. But it's Spooky's very own Rick and Morty. No longer is it holding those $12,000 price tags. $11,000 is out the books. $10,000, nope. I've seen them sell on the nimes now. They're selling for right under what they are brand new. So there's nothing crazy anymore about the prices of a Rick and Morty. They're at the end of the run. So I believe they'll be done here in the next month or two. I'm really surprised by this. Really? Not the strongest shooter, people say. The theme's killer. It's a fun game. I've played it. It is fun. The theme is really awesome. I do like the fact that you can have it in grown-up mode or adolescent mode. I don't want to call it a kid mode because that game should not be played around small children that are impressionable. It's a little joke. Unless, you know, it's my kid because why not? It's like letting your kid listen to mall market tunes. Right. Well, I mean, we let our kid play Grand Theft Auto because she likes to drive the cars. Oh, I'm not judging. I'm super guilty. My kids are TikToking and everything else that disgusts me, but go on. Yeah, you know, so you do what you have to do to keep them out of your hair so you have five minutes of sanity. It's fun. Preach. Preach. But at the same time, you think about it, Stranger Things trended down for a while, too, and now look at how hot that is. So I think that Rick and Morty will come back up. Okay, and it could. I'm going to call it a premonition. Let's see. I like it. I like you throwing it out there. and you could be right. You could be right. Right now though, Rick and Morty, if you're wanting to buy it now is probably the time. I think that when they announce the next one, if it is a big title, if it is a quick seller, then you're going to see this Rick and Morty drop probably a little bit more. But as more of those new games have shipped, you'll see the Wonka effect where it'll start trending up. You'll see what Hammy was referring to, the Stranger Things effect, where you'll start to see it go back up. So if you're in the buying mood, Now, within the next five, six months is the time to buy a Rick and Morty, I would think. Zach, do you have any of those in stock right now? Rick and Morty, believe it or not, here I am turning it down. Man, he always turns down shit he's not selling. He always turns up. I believe I may have a Rick and Morty coming in, actually. There you go. Buy, buy, buy. The time is now. Yeah, absolutely. We still have one customer that hasn't gotten his game yet. He's a standard Rick and Morty buyer. so he has to wait. Standards ran after all the bloodsuckers so very soon for him. But no, I think we have a Rick and Morty coming in on trade. Brand new in the box too. Bye, bye, bye. Holding Steady this week is a game that I am looking for. I wish it was training down but it is Holding Steady. It's Congo. Hippos. Have you ever played Congo? I have not. I've heard a lot of fun stuff about it but I have not played it yet. What a fun shooter. Code can like any other 90s code gets a little old after a while. But Congo, I've seen a handful of them up on the marketplace right now, so that's never a great sign on secondary sales. But Congo, upper fours, mid fives for a nice, decent Congo. Restored, you're going to see them skyrocket, but I'd like to get me a restored Congo. But right now, as I'm looking for one personally, I've seen the pattern of secondary sales, and they are just merely holding steady. They're not going up like a lot of these other pens are. Let me ask you then, At that point in time, you're saying, you know, 90s code, not the greatest fun shooter. Which would you rather have? A good code or a good code and a good theme that's a crappy shooter? Or a good shooter that is a crappy code and a crappy theme? And I'm asking you this because you like Popeye, so. Oh, wow. Okay, shot fire. Shot fire. That's a really good question. Now, it could have been really hairy by saying you're going code or you're going layout. but you threw the devil of the theme in there. So would I rather have a Rick and Morty, or would I rather have, give me the theme and code over the shots. To own, to own, yeah. I'm trying to think of, yeah, it is. Okay, so I'm going to get yelled at for this one, and I really don't care. I'm probably going to get blocked from moderator at Studio C. I do not like Ghostbusters wow what the fuck are you talking about I don't like it it's the pinball show episode 50 you don't like Ghostbusters I don't like Ghostbusters I don't like the theme now listen but this is the funny part I don't like the theme I'm not impressed with the code but it's fun to shoot same thing Avengers is a fun shooter it's not my ideal theme it's not my ideal code. It's a hell of a fun game to shoot though. I will walk up and play that one all the time. There's other games like TNA is not necessarily the most fun shooter. That game is pretty basic. It's not the best. Yeah, but you know it's a fun game. So it's interesting to see where people stand on that if you're buying a game and you're buying it especially sight unseen, you're usually doing it for the theme. Yes, absolutely. I still I can't get you saying you don't like the Ghostbusters theme. I don't. We'll probably end up getting one at some point, too, because he loves it. But I grew up watching it. I love the movies. I just don't particularly care for the game. Wow. Yes, it's true. This chick has no dick. I listen. Or I have a bigger one than anybody else because I'm willing to admit that on national podcasting. Well, yeah, that is true. That's a pretty bold statement there, Cotton. And I give you a lot of credit for not only how wrong you are, but at least for putting yourself out there. Nicely done. Well, you know, it's a one and done type of thing for my podcasting career, apparently. But that's okay. At least I tried. It almost makes you wonder, though, what would happen if they just lined up a bunch of games, different manufacturers, different developers, threw them all together in a generic cabinet with generic artwork on it, no shout outs, and you just shot it. and you picked which one you liked playing the best, and then the theme was revealed. It could be like Masked Singer or Pinball. Oh, my gosh. Ooh, I just got a new segment out for you. Masked Singer. Yeah, Masked Pinball. I like it. It almost sounds like my competition 1 through 10 series. Trademark. It almost sounds like that. Save a buck. Save a couple bucks. Hell, save a thousand bucks. I don't know. In this week's Deals of the Week. My, my, my! Deal of the Week this week is on Pennside. It's one of my favorite games ever made. Still possibly my favorite Jersey Jack pinball machine. Oh, Zach, I bet it is a Wonka CE. It is! And I bet it's on pin side for 12K. Holy shit, it's like a Reblin Monk. It's nice like that. Oh, my gosh. I actually did my homework for this class. It's the first time in years. I'm glad that a co-host finally does some homework here. Yeah, it's right outside. It's in Indiana, Valparaiso. Holy moly. It's a pinsider named RK Stepo. Rake Step? Rake Stepo? Not sure. But they are pinside donator. The heart with the plus. They are selling. Oh, they're also selling a Guns N' Roses LE. But this Wonka CE, brand new out of the box. How can something be brand new and out of the box? Low place, pristine condition, located in a walkout basement. They're even okay with shipping as long as you handle all of it. $12,000. Buy, buy, buy! That's a deal. That is a deal. and that's a hell of a game. Love our Wonka. One of our favorites. That's one of those ones on a stressful day you want to walk up to. It's one of the ones you can have the family around. If your family is anything... Oh, God, yeah, I'll kick you in the teeth. It is a game that will make you appreciate a soft plunge. Unlike G&R. The only downside to Wonka, Jersey Jack, fix your cameras just because I have a double chin does not mean that I want to see my double chin on your monitor every time I make a specific shot. Chin cam! Those cams, yeah. I'm okay with them fixing, and I love my JJP peoples, but buy a better quality camera. Shit, they got it out of an old Motorola StarTAC. Like, where did you, is this the first camera phone camera? Like, shit. Either that or just take the fisheye lens off of it so I don't look like a blimp in the pictures, and I'll be happy. You know, at least I give them credit when they put the cameras on pirates. At least I had the option of a hat or an eye patch, so I looked really cool. I had a freaking five years ago when I started to stream, I had a Logitech webcam that looked better than that. Hi-oh! Sorry, we're like roasting JJP quality cameras. They're like, well, at least we got a camera. Yeah, right. You know, they're sitting there going, yeah, you sons of bitches are laughing at us, but you show us somebody else who has a better one. That's right. Where's your Oktoberfest camera? Where's your Avengers cameras? Dicks. deal of the week is Wonka CE $12,000 it may seem high to you but I honestly think that's a buy low right now because more and more people will pick up how great that game is and they'll be willing to spend more than $12,000 especially on a CE fantastic game absolutely grab it we got a couple deals of the what? uh oh deals of the what the frank this week is a black knight sword of rage topper on pin side All right, now, I think I know this individual. Good dude. Trying to make a little money outside of Richmond, Virginia. Chief G. Chief underscore G on Pennside is trying to sell a Black Knight Sword of Rage topper. Free fully insured shipping. You should drive it down to them for this price. PayPal's accepted. And make dinner for them. No shit. And then clean their house and do their laundry and file their taxes for them. playfields because nobody's buying this fucking thing for $4,500? Man, give me what he's smoking. I love toppers. I don't know if you can afford it. You can't price a topper as much as the damn game. That's just a general rule for pinball toppers. Maybe he did something special to it so every time you walk up to it, it tells you how pretty you are. I don't know. He's a pretty boy. He's so pretty. You look like John Stamos. Thanks, Black Knight. You're right. That's crazy nuts. That's silly. That's silly. We got another one. Speaking of toppers, another deal of the What the Fuck this week is a Congo top. I didn't think there was a Congo topper. There's a Congo topper? Right. That's what I thought whenever I saw this. So I clicked on it. It's on Pinside by the name. Again, Virginia must be where the toppers come from. Vienna, Virginia. Your favorite vacation destination. Vienna, Virginia. Virginia is for lovers. Oh, this is my favorite. Pinsider by the name of Per3Per3. Maybe they just had a spelling error. Per3Per3. It says, I am selling a rare promotional topper for Congo. It's in solid condition and breaks down to enable it to be shipped flat. It's made of sturdy cardboard. So it is cardboard. I think I'm looking at it, and I'm trying to think if this was a promotional piece for Congo Pinball or Congo the film? Or this is just something that's not even related to Congo because it's this generic ruins and mountain that looks like spewing semen on the side. No, but I guess it's white-tipped mountains. But it's less than $4,500. How much? $40 your best offer? Now, the only reason I'm touching on this is because I've already attempted to buy this thing. I don't know if I got it, but I emailed them this morning and said, sold. I'll buy it for $40. No oboe here. Make it firm because I'll buy this thing. Just the chance that maybe it is. I knew nothing about a promotional Congo topper, even if it is only made of cardboard. I'll put that thing in a dome. I'll light that bitch up. He didn't email me back, Amanda. Well, it's Sunday. He might be at church. Maybe. Man, I want this. I don't know why I want this so bad. Email us at thepinballnetwork at gmail.com if you know anything about some rare promotional topper for Congo. Man, I want this thing. Let me buy it. Per three, per three. I was just joking about Vienna. I love it there. And that was your Pinball Show's Pinball Hammy Trends. Featuring Amanda Hamilton. And that bye-bye-bye kid that's so striking cute. That bye-bye-bye kid is going to take over the world. I can see it now. I need a cargo shirt with two pockets so that the little creasel clone is in my left breast and this little kid is in the right pocket. Aw. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is our show. Man, that was a fun. I had a lot of fun there, Ham. I did, too. Thank you so much, Zach. I really appreciate this opportunity. It was a good time. Would you do it again? You guys, I would do it again. I would do it again. I've got to say, for a pinball podcast version, you're kind of a starting guard there. Really good job. I appreciate that. It was a lot of fun.

I'm blocked, kid! Angie don't like the Ghostbusters theme, which is just unbelievable. You probably like the remake with the chicks. no no listen i'm all for girl power but come on guys there's two things that no there's two things that piss me off the ghostbusters remake with the chicks and the end scene on avengers endgame after captain marvel flies through a freaking spaceship and you have gwyneth paltrow going we'll help you get the gauntlet across the field says she just flew through a spaceship. She don't need your help. Go make a diaper or something. Captain Marvel is the biggest. She's like the Superman version in Marvel Comics, I think. She does not need Iron Man's secretary to help her out with that. She's got this. Talking about women power and talking about chick power, Bridesmaid probably a top five comedy of all time. We don't need a remake called Groomsmen. I don't want to watch that. I don't want to It seems like a bad idea. I want my Melissa McCarthy.

He's a big Sword of Rage fan too, so I'm wondering if he's interested in that $4,500 topper. Speaking of, he bought the game just for the topper. He talked about that on the episode. He said, because Dennis and I were talking about, I told Dennis, I said, look, people bought the Black Knight just because they wanted to display that topper. Dennis called me crazy and incorrect. I told him I was right. And here's proof that George Fisher, one of the most prolific pinball streamers, did just that. And because of that, I am now looking for a Black Knight Sword of Rage Pro pinball machine. I need to have one because I got the topper. It only makes sense. Absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Pinball 2021. We also last week had the Pinball Show Midweek Edition with Craig Shakenbake. Bobby, he welcomed on Matt Morrison, the Pinball Show interviews host. and they went really deep into Avengers Infinity Quest. If you're interested in that game or you own that game, definitely check out that episode. We also had an off-the-record submission with Totally Pinball, the sequel.
