## Transcript

You know that it's Friday when we get a peek behind the scenes at Stern Pinball's factory. I was looking forward to this week's episode of "Factory Friday" from Stern because it's two important things...

1) Our first look at Stern's brand new factory in action

and

2) Our first look at its brand new game Venom being produced

As you can see, Stern has tons of Venom Pros on the line this week. Hopefully we'll start seeing them show up on location very soon!
