## Analysis

Live tournament commentary from the Concord Champ '25 finals on King Kong Premium at The Flipper Room, with commentators discussing gameplay mechanics, mode strategies, scoring tactics, and machine behavior during a competitive match. The stream covers multiple balls of play with detailed analysis of multiball modes, shot selection, playfield ergonomics, and rule set execution.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] King Kong has a default plunger spring that is very hard, making the skillful plunge extremely narrow in its range and easy to overshoot or undershoot — _Speaker discussing plunger design: 'the default spring is like very hard. So, the range for like hitting that is just so tiny, right? It's so easy to overshoot or like do it too soft.'_
- [MEDIUM] Some King Kong machines have issues with balls getting stuck in the gong mechanism and not registering shots properly — _Speaker mentioning friend's machine: 'I have a friend where his does is not does not work right... I saw a lot of balls getting stuck in it... and there was like no way to kind of shake it loose, right? or it just wouldn't register.'_
- [HIGH] King Kong's Manhattan Rampage mode loses 5 flips per drain — _Direct statement during gameplay: 'You lose five flips on a drain, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.'_
- [HIGH] The game features island locks that were removed at some point and then added back into the code — _Commentary: 'They removed it and then they added it back again.'_
- [HIGH] King Kong has at least five distinct modes including Pterodactyl, Stegosaurus, Crash the Gate, and variations of swamp/escape modes — _Mode enumeration: 'like you got an pterodactyl, Stegosaurus, cross the chasm, and uh drain the swamp or whatever it is... I think those are the five ones.'_

Let me guess. They're going to practice.
Uh, yeah,
spiders.
It looks like they're set up for practice.
Yes.
What are you doing,
Tims? Is this your first time? Sweet combo.
There you go. Just hit the side ramp and walk away. If anybody's going to outsmart a bunch of flying lizards, it's me and shout them out.
Oh yeah, we're just waiting for the action to start. Super skill shot. Well, I guess you actually have talent. Kong letter litter collected. I
All right. Uh, looking good. What are you doing?
Tilts more than a ball.
Everybody's tilted. All right, let's get it underway, [music]
shall we?
Sure. who knows what other book
if you don't score anything just tilt all three balls and you get the super wizard mode if you're player four and your name is Jack [laughter]
you never know
All right,
let's see how long this game lasts.
Yeah, there was a We didn't [laughter] That was just a two-play game, the last one. I know,
the tiebreaker. So,
uh I can't imagine uh I can't imagine this being shorter. Oh, the Dustin actually got knocked out.
Yeah.
So, they're playing King Kong Center 37, Adam's family, and Medusa.
Okay.
Yeah,
that's the deal. Yeah, at the very least
John Youssi the same people, right?
1933. Here's famed archaeologist Anne Darrow. And by her side, the rugged and resourceful Jack Driscoll. And behind the camera is none other than filmmaker, ready to rumble. adventure the world has ever seen.
King Kong, myths of Terror Island.
All late.
All really late. Stegosaurus. Uh, okay.
All right. See if he's going to get his locks ready to go.
Oh, he's going right into him.
Drops.
Use the gas.
Stegosaurus, huh?
Come on.
That's a little different.
We got to find a way out. The game is very loud all of a sudden, but I guess it's just because it's so quiet everywhere else. Could be. Yeah. All right.
I didn't come all this way for you to ruin my perfect.
Oh, that's so good.
That's all you need to do is just hit shots.
Yeah, exactly. This is like why not Yeah, it's very preferential being an on the-fly player.
Yeah.
Look, Jack. There's room. And is he in biplane or?
Yeah, I think he's in bip plane. River two.
Yeah, he he is in by planet.
Lost temple is lit.
How is everyone doing in chat? We're getting pretty tired on this side of the equation. This is not the newest stern. It's uh the second newest turn,
boys. Oh, and girl. Ball added. We need another ball out there.
All right, down to two balls. target for double scoring.
There you go. Oh. Oh,
nice.
Survives.
Can he get it? Uh,
no.
That wasn't the super. That's Is it? No.
No, I don't think so.
Where too? Daddy.
Careful. Don't move.
Spider's next. So, how many shots on the Gong do you need anyway?
I think it increases, doesn't it?
Scoring twolegged lizard multiball.
Oh. Oh, shook that one out. Yeah,
there is an addal on that mode, but I think you need to uh get a few shots in the in the right scoop first, right? It's on the right side there.
Island lock.
Oh, they added island locks back in.
So, what next mode is a two ball.
Mhm. They removed it and then they added it back again.
Okay, he's going to do the Manhattan Rampage, which is the flip count thingy with 2x scoring.
Manhattan Rampage.
Don't go destroying the district.
Has a ball save for a period of time, actually.
Oh, and there's a ball save there. Yeah. It goes until the end of the flips.
Have they decreased the number of flips or is there?
Uh maybe the cave to collect treasures.
Well, that was quick.
Yeah. They're like Yeah. just pay for that wall.
5 million.
Jeez.
So,
yeah. Where So, where did the flips go? I mean, that's very crazy. How did it drain that many times or
That's true. You lose five flips on a drain, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That went a little too quick. There's the island lock.
We got Mr. T in chat. Yeah, we're probably going to be sat here for another two and a half hours easily. All right, that ball is Oh, it's coming back. I'm just kind of memorized like collected.
Yeah, we're on ball one here, so this game alone is going to take quite a while.
Shoot the rear target.
I'll look for an exit.
Four, three, two, one. Time's up. Hey, over here you dirty a lot.
I don't like the looks of this place.
All right, what do we got? Lid on the left. On the right.
Mr. Dead Eye.
Dead eyee. Grab the plunger and fire.
Okay.
Little short.
There it is. That should get out.
Jackpot is
jackpot. Jackpot.
Go.
Now what? Another three. Not bad. One more for super.
All right. He's Oh,
is he going to get another shot at it? No.
That was close.
All right.
I think it goes the other way. Ed Boon.
He's nails on that gong shot. Yeah.
You had a will scream in there.
Banana combo. Blue java. He's going for the second multiball.
Why not?
Get some more time.
We all need more time.
Lost another one.
Another sailor loss. But hey, now we got the crisscross going.
Yeah.
Nice and clean.
Keep it going.
Oh, is that keeping it going? It's hard to tell. There's so many uh Oh, wow. He got his He's got King Kong L now.
Go, go, go.
Did he complete that?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh yeah, the the the raptor [ __ ] is is lit on the gong now.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh. All right. It's ready for you next ball. Yeah.
All right. That's setting the bar.
Yeah. All right. Half a billion. Ball one. Yeah, that's uh
player two, you're up.
Normally what I had in my best games ever on this game [laughter] when I owned it. Zach's like, "Um, okay."
Yeah,
but you just got to go in there and, you know, play your game.
Yeah. Absolutely.
You can't control what other people do.
That dead bounce out of that reverse is nasty. Nice reflexes there. All right, let's do some climbing.
No.
Uh oh. Saves it.
Start with Michael.
Michael.
Yes, that's me. Thank you.
Oh my god. What?
Oh, All right. What's he going to select? Stegosaurus.
Move fast. Keep your distance and hit where he started. All right. Get that ball back. Oh my god, dude.
Get up there.
Two one. Time's up.
All right, he's got his uh other multiball ready to go.
You just took it. didn't mean to do that. [laughter]
Even though he didn't mean to do that.
Did he want to start another mode or
I think so. Um but it did look like he was shooting for it, but maybe he just, you know,
he wanted something besides this, I guess. Ball be locked.
Kong multiball collected.
I don't know on on some sterns I don't like a mode with multiball because
come on dude.
Uh cuz you you can do stuff like that. But
what are some examples?
Like Jurassic Park.
I like I like uh multi or raptor multiball without a mode.
Yeah. One thing the some stern games are terrible at stacking the colors on the inserts, right? Mandalorian is another glorious example, right?
Or just the multiball kind of just overlays everything and you don't know where your mode shots are.
Yeah. Right.
We got to find a way out.
I mean, I guess if they're especially if they're timed modes, right? I mean like Rush's modes are not timed, so might as well. But all right, back to King Kong. All right, I think that was a backhand to the gong. No.
This must unlock the treasure box.
All right. He's making quick Yeah, he made quick work of that. Now, are you going to climb or are you going to just let it drop?
Yep. All right, I agree. Now you have one more lock and then the right orbit to hit.
Oh, what was that?
Surprise.
Surprise eject.
Oh no.
Yeah, that happens. One in 20.
All right, I think he's recovered
Got the heart pounding a little bit. Yeah.
Complete drop target.
All right, we got some things lit here.
Super jackpot is lit. Shoot the ramp.
Get some more time.
One more for added one. Oh, he's got his super ready. Got to set it up. Uh, time out. [music] All right, take your attabol.
was that a shot?
I think it was a late uh side ramp shot, but it fed that other
flipper.
That's a hell of a shot. Common letter collected. Nope.
Oh, this is going to be a tough shot. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Going to go around.
Yeah. You definitely want to be in the other.
That would have been so sweet.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He did that weird thing with the
That's going to time out, right?
Yeah. Here it comes. timing.
Oh.
Oh, he had one last chance at it.
Yeah.
Channel needs to separate the balls on the other play through.
The old flip to the out lane.
Yeah, sorry I mentioned it. The ball must have slipped off the peg there, right? Or what? Oh, yeah. It just
trusting the post.
The steel post.
Yeah. Even it would have been rubber on that post. I don't know if that would have
It was off to the side. I kind of
way too much. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know if he had any dangers, but I mean it's lap
what I'm saying.
Left or right? Maybe. Yeah.
Yeah. The left.
It was screaming down the middle though. Hard to judge.
For sure.
Okay.
Yeah, that's right. This is player four with ball one.
Yeah. That corner shot looked just like so far away.
It's actually quite easy and doable.
It is. It is. But it's just like wow. It's way back there.
I'll take that shot over a Borg shot through the bumpers any day of week.
How'd that ever get hung up? Seemed like that was pretty solid. Yeah, there's a bunch of ball paths in the back there where the ball ball can kind of find something to hold on to.
It's like the fourth time he's tried that corner shot.
Yeah. Who knows? Might
There it goes.
Look out. You got this or not? Stegosaurus, Captain.
Okay.
Yeah. So, he's going to grind out island mode. Is that what we think here?
We get to charge the
charge the gates.
Charge the gates. Yeah,
that was big points.
Big points. Cool mode. I really like that. Yeah. So, I don't know the modes well enough to where the finishing shot is and how many you need and I don't know that yet. So,
oh,
not like that, Jack.
Did he have a uh danger earlier?
You're out.
Usually you can get away with that.
Yeah, I don't know. Shopkins for Nutellas. All right. How long was that first ball?
Oh, Jesus. Yeah.
So, what does match play say?
Does it show it
already? Uh Yeah, it shows or maybe you just can see that as a TV. You can because you can kind of see when the the max was kind of stored like
Oh, 1807.
Okay.
Arena changed. 1807
player order changed.
607. Is that about right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. So, 40 minutes per ball. I mean that's when they were talking too, but I mean yeah, But I thought uh Andre had the the raptor mode ready, right?
Um
is that not what he's shooting for?
Oh, there you clip that.
Damn. Did he even get a danger?
No.
That was perfect timing.
He got a danger. He got a danger.
That was nice.
I don't know why he's not stalling his raptor.
What is that mode called when the the
uh
the dinosaur monkey fight?
I don't know.
Complete the drop.
All right. The second Kong multiball, right? Got four balls in play. All right, let's see if he can hit that side ramp. Oh, he drives. There's just too much chaos going on.
Too much going on there to blind.
I think it's just like,
oh, we going to have a
got a few inches.
Yeah.
There it is. Ed Boon. How much?
48.
48. All right,
multiv.
I think he needs to get his banks down.
Yep.
Light the jackpots again. He's
out of that multiball. Yeah. I don't know these multiballs. They're all different. The kind of spider
spider ones.
Yeah.
Oh, we got two balls in there. Is it going to be able to I'm just watching.
Yeah, just enjoying this.
There's not much to say other than Cshot hits shot.
Yeah. All gas, no brakes type. Yeah, you can say that again. Gets the job done. Job done. That's for sure.
So, what's the what's lit on the right orbit now? There's a red arrow there. Yeah, it's
What is that?
I think it's just a multiol jackpot.
Oh, was it? Okay, so the secret
octopus.
Okay, you're probably right. Can we see the raptor now?
T-Rex.
Okay, T-Rex.
T-Rex. I've been saying raptor like 10 times and nobody's corrected me yet. So I don't I don't think the chat is paying attention.
I'll have a sword. Thank you.
Nice pummeling. There's good points. Four times 13. That's a good pocket change.
Yeah.
Who doesn't like to pummel the action button?
Here we go again. We're still battling. There's no flops on this phone or no.
Well, he's out of ball save now until
that will do it.
Until he drains, I guess. Grace probably.
Oh, he's got a grace period.
I got popcorn.
No, thank you.
I was looking for a timer. I didn't see a timer.
Yeah, you just got to wait.
All right. What's the uh Now, does he get victory victory laps?
Oh, wow. I haven't seen this even.
Grab some popcorn.
Grab some popcorn and
and uh watch watch the movie.
Watch the clinic. Watch the movie.
Usually the victory laps are it's just like filler. You need to get a reward. So, here you go.
Yeah.
What do we Okay, we going to window shop or we going to Maybe that's going to change the strat cuz everybody was going to the rampage but now the flips.
So limited.
He got nerfed a little bit. Huh.
Yeah. Do you get out of ball on these? I always play it on the limited flips one.
Uh I don't even know if I played this one.
No, I don't think you need to add a ball. There's plenty of balls out there. Okay, he's got that upper left shot. Looks like it wants to be hit. There it is. Oh no, it didn't go all the way around.
Yeah, the thing is if you just can have your multiballs just rolling forever, why why wouldn't you go with the multiball ball modes in an NYC event because that will pay off way more. Well, it's 1x scoring. The other stuff is multiplied, but you're right.
I mean, he's crushing this multiball.
Yeah.
Now, does that happen every time?
Probably not.
Look, everything is lift now. Every bind. Nearly. Oh, I've got mojo here now. Oh, that was just me.
Hit your blue button. Or does he have it lit? He's got his blue button.
Oh, yeah. I don't know what he's doing. That is not giving anything. Well, I mean,
He needs a blue button now.
Yeah. What do we know? Seriously. [laughter] We're just we we're just observers in this equation
there. He hit the blue button.
Yeah, because now he needs that red shot.
Oh [ __ ] Is that going to end?
Good work.
Does he have time to get to it? Nope. Oh. Oh, and and of course the ball that will never end is not going to go through that out lane.
No
I'm I'm I'm [music] clapping.
Yeah. Half a billion per ball. I so regret [clears throat] not changing batteries before this game.
Oh yeah, that was smart.
I didn't because they weren't charged, but
Oh, okay.
How we looking over there?
Yeah, they're full now. So,
okay.
In between the next game, maybe.
Yeah, that that's the idea. If anybody's going to outsmart a bunch of flying wizards, it's me and counting on us.
Oh,
come on, Zach. Tell us. Yes.
Don't let any webs get on the camera. What are you doing?
On the fly.
Get in there.
Oh,
take it that way.
Slop it in there.
Take it. However you can get it.
do a little climbing.
There you go.
Mode shot.
Oh, that was good value.
Oh, man. with an arm. This person can use another picture.
Lost temple is lit. One more.
That's trouble.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Yeah,
I could tell that was going to
Yeah,
once the ball gets indecisive in that part of the playfield, it's just like it's going to make the right choice for itself
and you're not going to be involved in that process. Well, right now we have players two through four [music] kind of bunched together.
Mhm. I don't want to say it, but it's a little like who's going to get second place. That's kind of the conversation here.
Yeah. Unless somebody can get to that crash the gate, which the points were just nutty.
Yeah, that would exped expedite things for sure. But then you need to play the modes. Well,
scoring.
How many modes are there? Is there five or six?
Is there that many?
Oh, yeah. It's like you got an pterodactyl, Stegosaurus, cross the chasm, and uh drain the swamp or whatever it is. Uh blow up the swamp or something. I think those are the five ones.
Okay,
let's see if he cycles in here. Cross castles crash the gate is locked. Escape is one. Yeah, that's insane, man. Listen.
Yeah. Right now my target is those two points for second.
And then if things develop then so be it.
My mom told me that spiders are more afraid of us than we are.
Is that extra ballpot? Get the extra ball.
There we go. Spider business. lettered.
Oh, you kind of rush rush that a little bit.
Barely saw that ball come flying through there. Not that you're going to understand this, but I hand her There you go. That's good value. Hit it again. Countdown.
A little way little too early. Totally. A little bit.
All right.
Good. Uh good recovery.
Oh yeah.
So that that finished that one.
We never saw the total on. Oh, there we go. 58. So that will be a very good mode to bring in to crush the gate. Jesus.
Does it show you on the playfield which modes you've completed or is it just
No, it does not that I know of.
Maybe on the display there is a bunch of stuff on the top there. Gross. Okay. All right. You're going to
dead eye.
Dead eye.
Take aim and skillfully fire.
They can't.
You know, when I first when it first came out, players were dead, bumping, you know.
No, you can't. and and now it seems like everybody's gone to like a skilled plunge, you know,
it's way more accurate.
Yeah.
The problem with this game in general is that the
I would have if I would have designed this game, I would put a softer spring in it
because the default spring is like very hard. So,
the range for like hitting that is just so tiny, right?
It's so easy to overshoot or like do it too soft. Yeah,
That gong really fires it back at you.
Yeah. It's been behaving well, I'd say for what I've seen.
Yeah. I have a friend where his does is not does not work right. No.
And so he's going to try to get it fixed with stern, but
cuz I saw a lot of balls getting stuck in it. You know, it kind of like, you know, limped itself on the ball, right? And there was like no way to kind of shake it loose, right? or it just wouldn't register.
All right, that that as well.
Yeah,
this one's been rock solid.
Yeah. Yeah, I haven't se I haven't seen any issues with it at all.
Did it grab him or is it
Oh, he had two.
Okay. He kind of knew that he was going to lose one of those, but [music] came back.
Hey, look at that.
Okay,
keep back.
So close. One more piece. One more for treasure hunt.
Follow the gold arrows.
Tim sort of had the surgeons approach here, I think. And uh he's going to get this done.
He's going to give Andre run for his money.
[music]
be interesting to see here what Tim picks on the NYC events.
Yeah, cuz he's seen Andre try two of them. That was the old go-to. He's thinking about it. Single ball time, three ball, multiball, limited flip. All right, let's see here. 30 flips each day.
50 paces ahead.
Oh, got a drain there. Do you hit the gong or a shot or nothing?
Am I Am I back?
Yes,
I'm back. Okay.
Is he going to collect? Is that the collect? All right. That was valuable.
There's your treasure.
No insurance.
49 mil. Oh.
Oh no.
Up and out. It took a up and out to get him out. Player four, you're up.
Yeah, you're always smart as an afterthought. It's just like you would just like rattle the game a little bit when the ball goes up there to kind of slow it down, but uh never do it.
Well, yeah. For me, it's going up that lane and I'm like thinking about my next shot when it comes back down. Yeah.
And you're just a little slow to realize it and you just watch it go down that way.
Get off your phone and
Yeah. I I have a Doctor Who that uh it loves if it goes up the in lane, it's just like it's going to drain, right? That is just like the That is just like the the physics that Yeah. It's just like the how the geometry works, right? If the ball goes up the in lane, it's gone, right?
Yeah. And there you can kind of just like cuff, you know, and just like you slow down the the momentum of the ball, but it's just like your brain is not wired for
Yeah. You got to what? Shimmy it. Try to shimmy it or something.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just like slow it down, right?
Cuz there's rubber one side and there's metal on the other side. So it can definitely affect the ball.
There's his island lock right now. What is that? Add a ball.
Yeah, we got 2x Playfield uh rock in here as well. So
was cuz that was that an extra ball and a ball. Yeah. All right. Those are all coming back.
Oh, it's 40. Those are good value.
Yeah, I still got 2x bump there.
Wow.
Looks like the map goes like this. [laughter] Ah
no. Oh, is he Oh, he's got ball save on that.
Click it up there. Yeah. All right. Pummel him. No,
that's He's He's going to town with this. What the [ __ ]
Seriously, he's coming from
Why are these so large? Oh,
look at that. He's like at 767. Why are those jackpots so large?
Oh,
I'm going to have to go back and look at this next week.
Yeah, we have to look at the manual. Look at the rule sheets. Look at that. Seriously.
I mean, he made up some serious ground. Yeah, they were going after like 40 mil a pop like like nothing.
I saw 90. Yeah,
a 90 even. Yeah, because he had a two 2x bump in.
Mhm.
Wow.
All right. Now he's in rampage. The flips mode, right? Now, how do you maximize this? You keep doing that.
Collecting his flips. Is that what he's doing?
Yeah, I think you want to get them solid. Okay. I'm learning as we go. The drains are what kill you. Yeah. Had to bail out of that.
Okay.
Oh, wow. 90 flips left. What the hell?
I don't know if he wanted that, but that was still good value compared to
200 million to go.
Wow. All right. All that work by Andre and then Jack Eclipse. I mean, he's almost caught up in like a couple minutes.
Yeah.
Work smarter, not harder. Yeah.
What is it they say? Right.
Like I said, this is going to be part of my study um homework next week. Come letter collected.
We got a tournament coming up.
No.
No.
Oh, nice.
I like the path of least resistance in game in games.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. I hear you. And you notice the ball is not at risk. I mean, right now he's controlling it like perfectly. Now he's got his locks lit again.
Ball three is locked.
Jackpot is lit.
Oh, very nice.
Get out. Beautiful. Oh no.
No. Not this [ __ ]
[ __ ]
A few moments later. All right. See definitely managed to uh put himself in the match.
Did he get to crash the gate or No.
Probably not.
No, he did not. No, no, no. That that that would have just
that would have put him in blew up.
Yeah, that would just put him in the two billion domain. I mean, it was in the 900 something when he cut out, right?
Yeah.
And uh then it was just like wood chipping with the with the spider multiball. Didn't couldn't quite get anything together there.
Okay. There's a mystery. Another extra ball. This late in the game. Okay. the Golden Idol.
The gold arrows.
Yeah, it's it's not good. We We can't We don't know like how many modes they've completed, right? So, you kind of need to keep keep your own tally sheet for that, I guess.
Mhm.
Because that is what's going to set these two scores apart once we when it all comes down comes down to it, so to speak. All right, Andre has to [music] get back into that mode of just ripping shots. Oh. Oh, he's missing right now. So, uh
Oh, I guess that one of those banana shows.
Yeah. All right. Maybe that'll get him going.
All right. Will Jack have to play his third ball?
I don't think he does. No. [laughter] Player two, you're up.
That is insane.
Shoot them target for double scoring.
Nope.
Proceed carefully.
Yeah. All right. Where is he going to go across?
Savan had an island lock from like a hour ago. Come on.
Coming back.
Collected. Double scoring. So that crazy crazy island kind of mode that jackpot into, is that is that from the treasure hunt or is that from something else? Where did where does that even stem from?
I the code has just come along faster than I can learn any of it. So
yeah, Yeah, cuz we turned around and all of a sudden he's like nipping on [music] his heels.
Yeah.
Within a couple of minutes.
Tick, tick, tick.
Shoot the lit target.
5 4 3 2
Hey, over here you dirty ape.
Cuz I know at like like expo Zmac was getting multiple billions. Oh. So, all right.
Yeah, he kind of anti- Lassacerus
himself there. Shot. Well, now if you're Tim, you know, you got a long way to go. So, there's no stress to, you know, to do, you know, to do one thing. You're going to have to do many things.
Yeah. A lot of things.
Yeah.
So, he's got T-Rex ready just like that.
Okay. Is this what Jack was in getting those uh big No,
I don't know.
No. Yeah. I mean, the thing is this is worth a couple hundred million if you kind of play it out. You get your punnels and you get your victory laps and all that. So, but it's not a billion, you know. All right. Get the ball in there. There we go. Now you need to tumble.
Oh, he let a let a ball go. Oh
no, it's coming back.
Coming back
even though it's not flashing.
It just came off. It's a bit of a grace there. So are the balls still pumped there? Yeah, they Oh, wow. Oh, that was unfortunate.
Everybody down the center drain there. Everybody heard the call.
He's good with the hands there, I must say.
Yeah. Multitasking.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 10 9
Oh, little late.
See if we can get around one more time.
5 4 3 2
Oh, one.
Hit the action button.
One for the road.
Started. Come on. Come on. Finish him. Where are we starting?
Oh, so you got some time on that as well.
Yeah. Yeah. So every time you pummel, you get a little more time.
All right. So this
is doable.
Come on.
Pummel again.
Pummel again.
There we go.
Don't give up your ball though.
No. Oh my god.
Look at the hand job on this one.
You know, I think he needed to make a move there. I think he he try he pro he probably plays on one with a rubber and that would have come back, but
yeah,
not with the steel post. Well, if there's any saving grace, Jack doesn't have to play his ball three.
Yeah, that's a Oh, the game is over.
Yeah,
the [laughter] I was just like
sitting here like a lemon. What are we doing next?
Uh,
well played everyone. That only took an hour and a half. Uh,
uh, centigrade 37.
Centigrade 37. All right, we'll be uh back shortly.
