Welcome to the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast, Mr. Gentleman's Club. I love it. So, in pure poor man's fashion, just full disclosure, my OneNote and some of this technology's computer is resetting three, four times. So, I remember most of the notes, so we're going to see where we get. Can you pull it up on your phone? No. No? It doesn't want to sync. I don't know. So, you're working offline. Sign in to sync your notes. You just click it. Man, I'm getting so sick of OneNote. We need a better solution. Yeah. I'm just going to say, you know what? You were so excited about OneNote. Mike Williams, we need to get you a better note-taking app. You are correct. I was just about to say, I'm coming up with a new method because OneNote was fine for a while, but this is getting out of hand. I got it right here. Oh, look at you. Ian comes to the rescue again. Do you have 98 on there? It would be all the way at the bottom. There it is. All right. We got notes. Ian, save the day. Yep. Here we go, kids. How we doing? Kick ass. All right. I still like to see myself, but we'll go through. So right here, we're at shoot the shit. We're doing good. That is actually in our notes, guys. Check. Shoot the shit.

OneNote has an app. Yes, I understand that, Pinball Doc. My app is not syncing. I have the app on my phone. It just doesn't want to sync. We have it. We have it. So let's open this bar. All right.

Well, my daughter had her birthday party a couple weekends ago, so I'm just trying to finish up all the leftover beer. So today is Sam Adams, Boston Lager. A classic favorite. Yeah, it tastes good. Hits the spot. Feels good to be drinking beer again. You know, I haven't really had too many side effects other than drunkenness. So it's been good. Is that a side effect? It says right here on the bottle, if I'm pregnant, I'm fucked. I would call that a benefit. Definitely. Definitely. I went out last Saturday with my wife. We had a nice little date night. Yeah. Yeah, that was fun, man. And you could just tell we were parents out of town. You could tell we were up to no good, and we weren't used to our surroundings the whole night. I stopped here yesterday and caught them in the afternoon. They were both a little hungover. Yeah, we were feeling great. But we ended up dropping off my daughter. You know, when we first had Vera, you know, we wanted, you know, like a date night. Hey, Lee, thanks for the subscription. We drop her off at Grandma and Grandpa's at like, you know, 6, you know, and then pick her up the next morning really early because we missed her. So we pick her up at like 9 or 10, you know, sleep in a bit and go get her. Not this weekend. No, we were just like we dropped her off at like 1.30 in the afternoon. Then we went day drinking, hit up a couple bars, and we went for dinner.

Then he sends us a bunch of pictures of buttholes, and then I go, Damn it, Dr. John, you're brilliant. I love it. So, yeah, dude, I will say this. The left ramp is broken, though. Balls don't go up it. Shut up. It does work, asshole. I'm going to miss Oktoberfest. I don't want to sell it in a way, but I also think it's time to move on. Now that I have Deadpool and it's a really good shooting game, you almost wish Oktoberfest wasn't as floaty as it is. But other than that, I really like Oktoberfest, and I still have a ball playing it. And it's a great game if you want to get better at pinball because each tent mode is almost like a different set of skills you get to learn as you play pinball. It's very cool. Oktoberfest is a really good game for non-pinheads, right? And pinheads alike. Oktoberfest appeals to a lot of different people. Yeah. I'm just talking gameplay. Like I said, for me, being a pinhead, it's okay. But it's just a solid game. Yeah, it's a good game. So we'll see. And that price is 100% based on what's been going on at Pinside. And we checked with Doc Finley, as always. And Doc said, fucking throw it up. Doc Finley is like, you should charge like $10,000. Yeah. It's a collector's edition. It's got a German hat on top. He's like, this year is fucked with pinball prices. Just, you know, get them as high as you want. We even joked about selling Laser War, but no, not yet. We're not going to do that yet. No, we talked about it because Ian, right now, it's just unplugged in his basement. But here we are. We have a little bit of work to do on that one, but we will. So, yeah, hopefully Creature will be coming home next week. Buy a Fathom, Dr. John. We'll talk about that later. Yeah, yeah. All right, Drew. So that's what's going on with me. Kind of exciting. Yeah, it is exciting. Sad, but excited. It's not gone yet, my friend. Yeah, I'll play it. I'll play it until. It is not gone yet. So what do I have going on? I am cleaning out, finishing cleaning out my basement this week. And I have a plan for fixing it up. And I will be putting pictures up and doing all that stuff for you guys as that progresses. But more exciting than any of that. Thank you, Rachel. I am getting an Earthshaker this week. Earthshaker. Mm-hmm. Pretty game. We're going to see that in Gamer Imporn today. I'm excited. I've been talking to this guy. He's in northern Illinois for the last month or two. He didn't have it on the market. He just responded to my ad and said, hey, I have one. It's player's condition. It works. The play field's pretty nice. The cabinets beat the hell. I think I'm going to restore this one, though. Okay. There was another guy who had one with a play field. The play field on his was all blown out. The cabinet was beat to shit. Cabinet is just destroyed. Oh, my God. That is going to be so much funny when that fucker starts shaking. Boom! The whole side falls off like, oh, shit. Yeah. No! Earth shaker, good. Cabinet, bad. Hanging out with a two-year-old too much. Yeah. So CPR made these playfields for a long time, and they haven't been on the site. I've kind of been casually looking, right? So anyways, I messaged Zach, and I just said, hey, Zach, when you're going on your pinball travels, I was going to put up an ad and all this stuff, and I was like, hey, if anyone has a new old stock or a CPR Earthshaker Playfield, let me know. And he's like, oh, doesn't CPR still have them? And I'm like, well, no, they're not on their site. So he prompted me. I was like, oh, shit, I should just email them, right? So sure enough, I email CPR, and I'm like, hey, are you guys running this? Hey, Jay Sellers, what's up, man? Hey, Jay. Jessie J. Buttholes. Shut up. Jessie J., where have you been? You're not welcome here anymore. You've been absent. No, she's totally welcome. She's always welcome. She knows I love her. She's the reason why we do this show and the reason why we've been fighting the last couple weeks. Just kidding. We love you, Jessie J. All right, go ahead. So I email CPR, and this is Sunday night. this morning. He's like, we're planning on running him again. I'm not sure when. I'll put you on the list and let you know. So I'm excited so I can do this slowly because the game works. It's fine. I'll play it for a while. I'll play the hell out of it. And then at some point I'll rip it down and figure out if I'm doing a new cabinet or fixing the old cabinet. Should be good though. I'm excited. Might be my first bolted machine. I was thinking to you, since you have the extra cash one of the bars my the wife and i went to it's called um shit mothership it's called mothership it's like a it's kind of like my bar but only there's like a space theme to it a little bit slightly but in this really weird awkward position in the middle of the kind of like to the left of the bar in the middle of the room is like an old dusty nba jam four player but everything else is kind of like alien-ish yeah and i was like if there was ever going to be a bar that was going to take a pinball machine especially an attack from mars to put on location oh no shit you know it would be this bar 100 no one other shit no one's playing yeah no one's playing nba jam you know it was unplugged that was the hottest game i would say that game was on fire on fire boom shakalaka cheese slices all right all right let's keep going uh very cool man earth shaker yeah yeah so uh yeah hopefully a couple of days i'm gonna go drive down it's only like an hour so it's it's a nice little drive no no big deal uh so i'm gonna drive down there and uh and and pick it up cool man yeah i am i'm really i'm really stoked about that and uh uh you like her shaker they have one over at the garcade we played it so i was impressed i really never played it before and when i played it at the garcade i was like dude this game's fucking awesome baller it's a baller machine yeah well it's just that you know classic jay hawker one thank you three uh for the one bit yeah i love it one to grab each other's ass cheeks jay hawker come on jay hawker we'd do that for free we would do that today for free uh glenn Glenn Waechter good game to practice stage flipping yes i agree that uh that upper that upper left flipper yep i'm actually pretty so you know what as much as i suck at pinball i'm pretty good at stage flipping actually i think so you know i've had a lot of three flipper games now so he beat a 10 year old last week i did i beat him into submission uh like like a real man sweet flipper skills uh for you guys who don't know what we're talking about check out episode 97 where drew gets his ass kicked by everybody but he kicked a 10 year old's ass and you know what that 10 year old was dazed and confused when he saw your flipper skills i'm sure we need a bottle opener over here all right anyway keep going uh speaking of which so i had this uh you know jesse j's in chat they always do their uh their shitty themes for pinball or whatever where her and ryan go back and forth right and my father-in-law mentioned something the other day something i hadn't thought about in a long time and while it truly wouldn't make a good pinball machine it just makes me smile so i'd like to see somebody do maybe a homebrew remember the show red green the red green show oh such a bad show oh my god i used to love that that would be that'd be a great bad homebrew out of all the homebrews and all the thieves in all the world just goofy just red red green man of course you don't like that i'd like the show but i wouldn't want it once i said no it really it truly wouldn't make a good one but all right it hey man it's your dream buddy do it it's not futurama it's red green fuck earth shaker make it into a red green yeah re-theme ruin a perfectly awesome machine to make it put your money where your mouth is dude rachel drew beating at pinball last week that's right she she pulled a drew in my house she moved every one of my machines two feet to the right she was like oh i'm so sorry i'm like rachel have you met me like my floor is fucked are you nudging too hard oh my god rachel rachel was really rocking those machines rachel yeah good for you i like when rachel gets mad she looks like me and she doesn't shakes it she's like fuck this shit oh yeah yeah yeah it's awesome rachel it was truly an honor to watch you play pinball that was kicking my ass a little not but not not in my house a little nut that's not there rachel why did it tilt it was just like me Why did it tell? I just barely touched it. It was a wind beneath my wings. All right. So that's it for the poor man's pinball news. That's it for my news this week. All right. So what do we got? Tribe news. I want to talk about a couple things in the real news. Oh, sure, sure, sure. So, you know, we're talking rumors today, but this is no longer a rumor. Okay. Haggis pinball. Haggis. Thanks for the cheer. Whoa. Look at all those bits. Jayhawker. Holy crap. You two fudge packers are still the anal hickey of pinball. Jayhawker, you... Jayhawker. I love your comments. The way you talk, it's like as if Shakespeare was here with us. The gift for the gab, sir. Did Shakespeare call someone an anal cunt? Yeah. These fudge packers are still the anal hickey of pinball. I'm pretty sure that's Othello. oh my god uh you can't nudge a home pin yeah thank you so much jay hawker i really do appreciate that uh thanks buddy haggis haggis pinball we're gonna talk the news today yeah the big news the fathom fathom remade for anyone living under two different versions baby anyone living under pinball rock they they released a teaser video and everyone's like oh jaws because it's like what's coming next and under the sea don't don't you know yeah but they definitely that was a line no they did sure but they it was great it was awesome and then the next day they released this and they say we are remaking fathom and it looks beautiful they have a prototype or a picture of it um so check it out on on facebook uh haggis pinball guys chat guys in chat ladies in chat what did you guys think of the fathom reveal the only thing that i don't like when i've i read through kind of what they're doing and how they're doing it from my understanding and correct me if i'm wrong if you order the standard edition you don't get the new code correct that's part of the mermaid package doesn't like it no i just i have i have a bit of issue our boy marty robbins did the code i know he helped with the rule set which is cool i for several moments contemplated potentially getting one of these for a few reasons a it's you know it's it's a beautiful game right you know B, I really want to support Hoggett's Pinball. We've talked about it before. And for me, this is more appealing than Kelts. It just is. Yep. And I'm not saying what I'm going to do or not do or whatever, but that part I was just like, okay, fine. I mean, I get it. They're a small company, and I'm not saying they're screwing anybody. Don't misunderstand. I'm really happy with this whole thing, and I think it's awesome. That was just – I would like to be able to buy the regular one and get that code. That's all I'm saying. Got it. But with that being said, all that stuff, it's awesome. So, yeah, there's two editions, right? So let's back up a bit. There's the classic edition, which is like $7,500, I believe. Yeah, roughly. And then there's the mermaid edition. It's about $10,000. Yeah. So – $90,000, $96,000. So the classic edition, I don't think we've seen pictures of that. The prototype they showed us was the mermaid edition. however so what was the difference aesthetically then aesthetically um while the apron does have two lcd screens that help progress the player through the new code so there's two little lcd screens a very cool very cool idea okay where your instruction cards are those are like little lcd screens that's the coolest that is very cool uh you get the new code and i believe you get a better surround sound package and you get new call outs and all that good stuff so there's there's a lot that goes into that mermaid package plus it's limited uh sorry i gotta respond jeremy uh cavalier says tna is a better single level game at 6 000 yeah i agree with that because you know fathom was made in what 81 something like that you know tna was made four years ago so you know tna was designed as a single level game in the modern era you know with the the music and the lights and i agree with that but but fathom is and always will be one of the most beautiful packages out there just hands down so class 81 i did it mike see yes so let's let's go over some of this um sorry i'm just reading some of this yeah we're giving cheese slices to jay hawker because of all those bits jay cheese slices up for for jay hawker being a fucking baller just throwing money Are you guys taking notes? Yeah, Jesus. Cheap fuckers. Be nice. Thank you again, Jayhawker. Let's see here. I think those... Jayhawker's raining Skittles on the poor men. So here we go. I'm so disappointed they're not doing Sequest. Kaz, you're joking. Michael Williams, won it. Tony Scoots, meh. Mike Williams, you might consider that? Tim Warts, just like the Beatles. Great to play on location. wouldn't buy one uh d nuts 77 d nuts how you doing we saw you there uh free shipping on mermaid edition from australia to pinball life oh there you go free shipping is it really that's nice tna is a better single level game we heard that um cavalier it's early solid state game i played the original and didn't think it was that great um class 81 you were right true i'm with you jeremy uh let's see some cheese slices yes yes thank you thank you for the cheese slices everyone okay so i i will just say this my thoughts on this is if you're gonna remake you know a game of that era pick the killer theme oh yeah no they're game number one yes number two they did it right i mean the art looks phenomenal right so if i was just gonna say give it you know cheese slices maybe get the cheese slice button ready art is going to be obviously a 10 54 cheese slice 54 54 exactly count those so it should be 54 right there um so try again i missed yeah here you go 54 cheese slices now it's yeah so anyway so it's 108 now jerk um but anyway so i thought what they did that package is beautiful i love that they brought back the old coin door to the called Coindor. There's a lot of details in here that I just think are amazing. Glenn, give me the Red Green Show duct tape edition. I'm not even mad at the price. I felt like some of these people were out of line when they were yelling about the price. I mean, that is basically what a Fathom goes for now, but now you're able to buy one that's going to have all new components. Yes, I was going to say, what does a decent Fathom go for, $5,500, $6,000? No, more like $7,000. Are they that much now? The restored ones are like close to 10. Are they that much now? Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. So Fathoms are crazy expensive. So just in the whole grand scheme of things, I think. Doc Finlay, can you chime in here? What's the average price? I think he's doing a fantastic job with that. The one thing I was like a little shocked about was, and I'll have to agree with Jeremy Schmidt, I played it at Dave Jeff Brenner's house, TurboGrafx-7 guys. Shout out. um and dave's is a really nice it's a nice example i just didn't care for the gameplay as much and i know when stern re-released the beatles they took the sea witch layout and they improved upon it but it wasn't like super crazy like you know it was just enough to get some of the geometry right i would have liked to seen him kind of tinker a little bit with the geometry and maybe make it a little bit of a faster game uh maybe the flippers that are going to be stronger perhaps yeah we'll make it a strong faster game but i mean fathom in my eyes is the prettiest game ever made and then i would say is it as much fun as it is to look at and even straight down the middle when they did the review on fathom mentioned as much and i was like you guys are crazy then when i finally played it i was like oh yeah it's i played like three games i was like i'm kind of done with it so real quick this or that then would you rather have a beatles or a fathom a new fathom i'll think because what's called it's the same price if you want to get like the the platinum edition yeah um of beatles for you know eight or nine grand you get the mermaid edition for nine grand whatever it is what what would you rather have that's a good one i love how beatles shoots i do too but i love fathom yeah the way it looks that'd be that'd be a close one that's a tough one yeah so i can't think of it damien you are definitely on the right path and Stephen Silver fathom billy yj beetles rachel flips beetles d nuts beetles the new code will fix the boredom yeah but in the mermaid edition i'm talking about the classic hey guys in chat i didn't ask you um beautiful looking game cavalier you're right fathom since 2018 holding steady yeah 5600 hundred there you go but you weren't you were you were right so damien did solve a question though that's been going on for a while remember when everyone asked george gomez about remaking games like that right right you know hey are you going to make these classic stern games i know it's not a stern game it's a ballet game but um you know and george gomez said you know those drop targets are expensive and this is expensive and you know people probably wouldn't want to pay right what we would charge for that game and you know damien in a sense is going to test that market yeah because you have you have starting off good oh it's great it's great yeah so you have this game that's that's well regarded like you said you have all new components you know everything's new new code yeah in the mermaid edition um and to be honest even though cheat me cheat me wants to say you know oh that's just a lot of money for what it is you know i think it's priced right i do too i mean i i think it's i was alluding to that okay the price is right and i also think that i think it's going to be a pretty rare game in general well sure even if they make a couple hundred of them it's still not even if he sells out of everything it's still not gonna be how many he was 250 mermaid is that right guys and then what about the i forgot about the the classic Is that unlimited I don think so Okay BJ Boxy Hey there buttholes What up dude Hey, guys. Rachel Flips is flipping us off. This or that. GNR. Oh, maybe she's pointing up. This or that. GNR LE or Fathom Mermaid. Oh, you know, we didn't talk much about this. Yeah, if we're going to compare it to the newer games. Yeah, you can't. GNR. You can't. When I went out with Rachel and Jeremy last week, I played GNR Standard. Cool. Right? Yeah. And it was okay. But yeah, you can't compare GNR to Fathom. Two totally different demographics. Yeah, Glenel's been on Facebook today proposing all the possible games that they could be making after this one. Because they share a lot of the components. Oh, and Planetary Pinball owns the license for all those. Yeah, so Glenno, you know, lots of same parts for Centaur, Skateball, Voltan, 8-Ball Deluxe. Sure. You know, are those going to be kind of the same remake, you know, depending on it? Well. That's his niche. You're talking about that? Yeah, Centaur would be an obvious. Oh, wait. Sorry, I just thought of another great reason to have a Fathom made by Hoggis versus the original. That damn play field that Hoggis has designed. That one that's dimple-free and badass and super brightly colored. I mean, that art's going to pop and stay beautiful for a long, long time. He needs to, I know he won't, he needs to reveal his magic wizardry because Charlie, right? Charlie Emery of Spooky, they have great playfields, okay? No doubt about it. I've had one. I know it, you know, I didn't have any issues with it. Right. And on an interview this week, Charlie said they only had to replace one Alice Cooper playfield for a customer. And they had to replace zero Rick and Morty playfields. There you go. Good job. Spooky. So the spooky, that's great. But my point is, you know, and then he talked about the old Bally Williams, you know, playfields like people do. Everyone who knows anything about playfields says the same thing. They all dimple. you know it's wood it's it is it's part of the it's just you know it's physics it is what it is right so how does damien get away with this magic plexiglass baby yeah i mean it's it's crazy so yeah good on good on haggis good on spooky tony scoots you're right rbg lighting as well updated lighting is going to be beautiful on fathom are you kidding dr john says he's willing to share he's going to share his uh his secrets uh no clear coat conversation no we're not we're I'm not diving into it. Billy, why, Jay, do you want to know more about clear coats? Let me tell you everything I know about clear coats. Nah, it's okay. I'm done with that. Done with that part of my life. Although, you know what? I was testing a clear coat on my floor at work, and it is still holding up really good. Did you roll a pinball on it? I think I'm going to end up using it on a machine. Sweet. It's a different stuff now? Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, let me know. That's pretty badass. Jackrabbit, quit snoring, Jackrabbit. Wake up. no more clear coat talk okay jack rabbit what do you want to talk about you tell me all right so fathom i know what everybody wants two stars up two thumbs up oh yeah easy how many cheese slices drew are you gonna give this package the whole package yeah whole package 62 and a half oh that's serious oh wow that's a lot of cheese damien that might be one of the high as as a package once again i don't even know how many times have to hit this button to hit you know jesus am i gonna buy this no and that's only because of probably limited space and and money but as a package and value i think this is really good and i think there's gonna be a lot of collectors that are gonna absolutely go crazy over it absolutely dude so i'm i'm really excited to see what happens um i'm excited if if hagas can just keep making games and doing this well they're also moving into a larger facility yes that is very true seriously very very true damien must have the golden goose he found the goddamn goose he's pumping out gold eggs and he's just chilling he's like well i guess we need a bigger facility i sold you know however many kelts so very cool very cool uh drupal there package raider rate my package drew everybody he put my packages i give it 63 cheese slices yeah and uh rachel said she loves the fact that ian and i we didn't even mention this we're dressed as twins today i didn't wear my backwards hat but uh we're wearing the poor man's hoodie yeah and a little t-shirt underneath and yeah we're oh we even got the same guy yeah and that oh my god what we're so lame yeah i know what show is this again i think i should go up and just fucking change now change thanks thanks rachel so there's you know what we kind of did like a bit of a happy hour here and this was actually really fun so we'll get into some other stuff but you want to take a little uh a little drink break here yeah we can take a drink break okay let's do that i need to get a couple ice cubes here. 10-4, big money. Alright, so we're going to do a little bit of a do-do-do-do-do-do Cocktail break, guys. All the times you ran your pain on my best game Because your ball can't stay down in the in-lane You think you broke my heart with super jacks that lack In the space for a five-mac truck flipper gap And I didn't want to sell you now cause I didn't want anything in your space that's not a ten cause you look good with your lights on so I guess I won't be moving on and I think that Dwight just made new code and I won't hold back but he should just know that Tim Lee don't like you and he likes the black night and I never wanted expensive night lights but I've been so caught up in your art and didn't see all of these flaws cause I was wrong all I'll ever do is turn you on cause if you like the way you look that much Ghostbusters go ahead and flip yourself and if you think that I still wanna play Ghostbusters go ahead and flip yourself And when you told me you were an old-fashioned theme And your lower playfield used to be bees And every time you told me push that blue button And try to make me forget this game's just not fun And I didn't want to play again Cause I didn't want to fall asleep This game just ain't too deep But I like you with your lights on So maybe I'll be holding on And I think Dwight should write something That makes this game not crap He and Christopher Franchi know that Pince, I don't like you But they hate everything And I never play you And I'd get to the end I've been so caught up in your art Drawn with such detailing hearts But now I know This game won't sell in a Kmart So if you like the way you look that much, then monsters, go ahead and flip yourself. Woo! And if you think 6X all day in Grandpa's lab don't stink, then go ahead and flip yourself. What? I don't know our voice. Yeah. I've been talking into your mic all day today. I'm so proud of you. I did it. You did. The song's great. I said your shots were way too small. Steven Bowden says that they're tight but findable. I never scored so low. My bricks were vulnerable. Was I a fool to think this game was valuable? Cause if you like the way you look that much Houdini, you can go and flip yourself And if you think that I will play you now Houdini, you can go and flip yourself And if you think I'll try, I'll just brick and die Houdini, you should go and flip yourself And if you think I'll try I'll brick and die You should go and brick yourself All right, we're going to end it there. Glenn, beautiful as always, my man. Dalton, what is going on? Welcome, Dalton. Dalton's in the house, everybody. Hey, Dalton, how are you? All right, so what are we doing next, Drew? What do you want to do next? Rumors, perhaps? Yes, let's talk about some rumors. There's a lot of rumors. Kaneda's been throwing a lot of shit around, hasn't he? He's just waiting for something to stick. I love how he said the fathom was his break, even though he had an email from Damien, I think, exactly. Because it was like less than 24 hours. It was like, you know, when that water thing, and he was like, it's Jaws. Oh, no, no, no. Hold on. I broke it. It's definitely not Jaws. So anyway, some pinball rumors brought to you by Kaneda. Here we go. What are we going to do first? Stern? Yeah, let's do Stern. Let's do the big dog in the room. All right, so he's saying Mando. Mandalorian is Stern's next king. How do you feel about that one? A couple things. I was talking to someone about this. I don't remember who, but I remember, I think it was Kaneda talking about with Star Wars, the Star Wars pin, that there was no magnet, you know, the Force having a magnet. Yeah. And it was just one of those moments where I was like, yeah, that would have been perfect, right? Magnets are expensive. Oh, yeah? How much is the magnet, Jordan? I don't know. It was like four in Oktoberfest. Five yours today. Sorry. So it was just one of those, because he was talking about Mandalorian. So this is segueing into that. But I was like, yeah, a magnet. Because I love magnets in pinball. Sparky, super cool. Spider-Man has a Doc Ock magnet. the little sanctum magnet shadow. I love magnets and pinball. Alice Cooper. So anyways, he's like, yeah, they should have the Force in there. He was just talking about things that he would want in there. And I was like, yeah, kind of cool. But how do I feel about Mando? As a theme in general. Oh, as a theme in general, I think it's great. Because another point was brought up this week. Sorry, I can't give credit. I forgot who it was. But But anyone who thinks – there's people that poo-poo every theme, right? You go on Pinside. That's me. That's my job. Sure. There's people on Pinside. I'm the poo-pooer. They're saying, oh, yeah, this game is terrible and it won't sell. Well, sorry, guy. You're an idiot because that's not even an opinion. Yeah. If they bring out the Mandalorian, I'm calling it here first, that might be the greatest selling pin of all time from Starry. Ooh. because it's one of the hottest properties, right? If it's done right, let's say it is Brian Eddy. He'll be great on location. Yeah, he does it a la Shadow. He puts an upper play field in it. No, it's going to sell like crazy. Will it be the best game of all time? No, probably not. But that's not going to matter. So people on Pinside, themes matter. Right. Even Stranger Things, right? Stranger Things didn't sell so great in the beginning. Guess what? It's catching a lot of steam on the back end, right? Sure. Deadpool was the same way. Deadpool was exactly the same way. Everyone poo-pooed that way. I love Deadpool as a theme. I saw Deadpool, and I was like, eh, the more I play it, now I might want a Deadpool. Guardians is that way, too. Everyone bitched on Guardians. Everyone was bitching on the code for Batman 66. Look, Glenno. Glenno says, I like Mando. I don't care about Star Wars. I think there's a lot of people like that, too. They're not Star Wars fans. Think about your wife. And, you know, I know lots of wives that weren't into Star Wars, but they freaking love Baby Yoda. My wife doesn't know anything about it. No? No. My wife didn't watch it, but I know a lot of wives that have. No, there's lots of ladies out there that love Baby Yoda. Are you kidding me? It's not his name, by the way. It's Gogar or something. No, it's Baby Yoda. Googie. Googie Go-Go. Googie Go-Go. Bill Burr has mentioned how cool pinball is on his podcast. Oh, so Bill Burr. Call-outs, possible calls from Bill Burr. It was in like two episodes, though. I didn't even care for his character, to be honest. That was a little weird. I really hope they can get some pretty decent assets, though. That would be the only thing I would worry about is the amount of assets you could get from a show like that. Yeah, but you don't think they'll do it like Star Wars? Because Star Wars has a lot of good assets. Well, I hope they do. I hope they do. You know, I hope they do. And then the other rumor from Kaneda was that the guy who did the comic book art edition. Randy Martinez. He's doing the art for this as well. And that is such a good art package. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So how do you feel? I like Mando. All right. I think it's going to be a solid game. You like it. Two thumbs up for Drew. I'm a little indifferent. Not that I don't like Mando. I really do like it as a series, and I think it plays well with pinball rules. You know, you're a bounty hunter. It's pretty simple. You're right. It's one step, too. You have visions. Get a new bounty. Get another bounty. Get another bounty. Watch out for the Stormtrooper. Yes. I like that it's kind of post-apocalyptic in a way where I like, you know, the Stormtroopers are pretty much junk and and bloodied and bruised and on the run and no there's a lot of things that i like about the mando mandalorian show and the potential for pinball tony scoots you can't pass if i was gonna just kill you if i was just gonna say one thing that's got me a little is like you know again i go back to can i just get a really good original trilogy star wars pin like if you're gonna no if you're gonna dip your freaking foot in the star wars pond again give it give it fucking go let's let's do a a real good star wars dalton says we're all being duped it's the backstreet boys it might be it might be the backstreet spin you're so smart dalton i should have thought about that um oh whoa so but we're that's new kids on the we're talking about this It's definitely going to be Mandalorian. Do we have any thought or opinion that it might be Back to the Future? It might be something else? I never believed it was going to be Back to the Future. Why not? Because I just don't think they're going to get into that can of whoop-ass. Doing Back to the Future and Harry Potter are going to require some serious assets, some serious negotiations, and those are going to be some expensive fucking pinball machines. And they'll sell them for $15,000 apiece. I know, but they're not going to sell them back-to-back. Joe Kamikow. I think we might see a Harry Potter this year. I don't think we'll see a Back to the Future. Whoa, hot take. Wait, wait. You think Harry Potter is going to come out before Back to the Future? I think so. I think it's been screamed at George Gomez face for long enough. What do you guys think? What would come out first, Back to the Future or Harry Potter? Is Tim Lee still here? Because he's probably choking right now on his fireball. uh back to the future or harry potter will be kapow absolutely 100 i agree uh mr 9865 back to the future huh all right yeah i don't know it's it's hard to say and i mean which one would i rather have is it back to the future i don't i could care less about here okay how about this is it possible it's not mandalorian or back to the future it could be godzilla or godzilla what do you want i don't know it's not what i want i want futurama fuck you It's never going to be Futurama. I know. I've come to grips with that. Anyone who texts me or sends me a message and says Futurama's coming out, you guys are all dead to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's coming out. You're so dead to me. Did Stern blow the greatest selling license by using Beatles on a Sea Witch re-theme, says Glenno. Eh, I don't know about that. But back to the rumors. Okay, so we think it's going to be one of those. Right. Okay. So there's no doubt that this has to be announced soon, right? Because they haven't announced a game since last year. Zeppelin. Yes. So it's literally been. So since we've been in this hobby, it has been. Hey, flip it up, people. True story. Tim Lee is on the Futurama topper list. Put me on, too. You know. Jack Rabbit. I heard Damien is working on Futurama. Jack Rabbit, you're fucking dead to me. Oh, you motherfuckers. Jesus Christ. Oh, no. Zach, yeah. Yeah, Zach's like, you're on the list, Drew. I'll take your money for Futurama, anything. The year will be 2045. Yeah, it'll be actual Futurama time. The year is 3000. Futurama pinball. Stern ran out of all licenses. Drew is 98 years old. They're digging in the bottom of the barrel for that license. Zach calls Drew, you're on the list. You owe me $2 million. He's talking about expensive. You were like, wait a second. I thought a pinball machine back in the day was only $7,000. Oh, my God. And, yeah. Oh, fuck all you guys. And then Zach will be like, inflation, motherfucker. Yeah. Inflation. Yeah, inflation. And I got to put my 100th kid through college. Give me $2 million for this Futurama. Too good. Too good. So, yeah. So I just, I don't think, it'll probably be one of those licenses. I mean, that's what I'm seeing. Yeah, I get it, man. So yeah, I want to see it badly. I want to see Mandalorian, and I want to play Mandalorian. And I want to play a lot of games, but I just haven't been able to play. So what do we think is more interesting, the Stern rumors or the Spooky rumors? Oh, Stern. But we can get into Spooky. Okay. because I uh you know spooky uh they talked people were talking about Scooby-Doo and I got really excited about that because that is a timeless theme that I think is very cool everyone knows I love my cartoons uh sorry you're fine uh so yeah I thought I thought that would be great now they're saying no it's not you know it's going to be a movie some sort of property some sort of spooky thriller property i don't know yeah i think what do they say scary movie that's another canada rumor wait wait really who said that canada canada you're wrong canada scary movie they're a scary movie pin can we even envision that no it's not the movie scary movie just it's going to be based on a horror movie i thought you were talking about the fucking scary movie no oh that's what he talks about scary movie how does that even say i'm like what the how is that even in your umbrella of of things to think about it's not even crazy me wasn't thinking about that shit you just did no you said it ass i said it was a scary movie pin and i said i can't envision that you you know what never mind let's move on listen spooky is gonna do a horror theme pin that's basically a scary movie i i hope that they can figure out to do how they can do it where it appeals to everybody not just horror buffs so we'll see how it goes well that's the most interesting part about it because they may cause nobody wants it he says i want a scary movie three pin go ahead no i was just i was just saying like you know i hope they learned a valuable lesson when they did rick and morty because it was such a popular theme now would they go to the scary movie route is it going to be as mainstream as well there's there's a couple things going on here because spooky doesn't you know they have limited runs right yeah so spooky wants to i'm not a huge horror movie fan but i am a huge spooky fan and what it's my commentary you let me It sounded weird. I love it, though. You're doing great. Because they have smaller runs, even though they're getting bigger now, which I think is awesome, if they want to cater to that smaller audience, they can do it, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Do they have to start choosing stuff a little differently than Rob Zombie? I'm not even saying better. I'm just saying because Rob Zombie is pretty small, pretty niche. Right. But they only sold, I think, 300 of those, which was fine. But if they want to sell 750 and maybe get to the 1,000 mark, they could do that with a Friday the 13th or a Freddy Krueger, right? Some slasher film. They could do that. Night of the Living Dead. I think they're doing the right size runs for that. Like I said, even though those don't really appeal to me, I think they can do it. But I also think that, yeah, having more stuff like Rick and Morty or Scooby-Doo or things that are more universal and still kind of in that spooky realm, maybe a little more fun and campy, I think that's where they should go. Got it. But I don't own a pinball company. No, you don't. In case you were wondering, folks, it's April 2021 and Drew still does not own a pinball company. I try every year. Every day. Every podcast. He's like, do I own one yet? And I'm like, not yet. Yeah, I go. One day. dude one day i sell a house and i'm like i could put a pinball machine in here i could i could make some pinball machines oh look at this basement folks isn this amazing basement ready for pinball machines and they like can you picture all the pinball machines in this kitchen They still make those What All right So anyway So what else we got? Well, so we got that. So yeah, who knows what they're working on. They're going to release it. Zando, Scooby-Doo. June, they said. JJP, we know they're going to be making Guns N' Roses all year. Yep, and then going in a toy store. Yeah, which is, you know. AP is a whole lot of, whole lot of. Who knows? God. What do you think? Do you think they're working on a licensed theme right now? Yeah. You think it's Beetlejuice? No. No? What do you think it is? I don't know. Well, how do you know it's not Beetlejuice? I'm challenging Ian today. If it is, that's great. You know, I wouldn't be... I'd be super excited if it was Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice or Scooby-Doo? If Franchise is doing the art, you would assume it might be Beetlejuice, right? What would you rather do? Beetlejuice. You'd rather have Beetlejuice? I don't... I'm a grown-ass. I don't want anything to do with cartoons. I've told you this too many times. No, you haven't. I do not want any pinball machine. I still don't understand. Related to cartoons. Why would I want a cartoon pinball machine? I don't even want a Toy Story pinball machine. You are such a grown-ass man. Yeah, give me alcohol. Give me murder. Give me 80s action movies. You can keep Futurama and The Simpsons and My Little Pony, dude. Ian's dead to me. He's so dead. We disagree on this 100%, and that's fine. We've always disagreed on this. Yeah, but I can't be friends with them anymore. Thank you, Dalton. Beetlejuice all day long. Yeah. Why? Because it's a badass movie. You didn't even ask me. Yes. As much as I like Scooby-Doo, I would take Beetlejuice over Scooby-Doo. Oh, okay. Now he says that. What is happening here? Why am I whispering? This is how we fight. Yeah. We don't want the kids to hear it. Mommy and Daddy still love you. Yeah, don't worry. Don't worry. Everyone in chat, we still love you guys. Except you, Tim Lee. You're fucking dead to me and Zach. Oh, wow. I'm still... Well, that Futurama shit. Bullshit. All you guys. Gleno, Tiny Toons pinball. Now you're reaching, man. Meatloaf all the way from Spooky. All right. Gleno, I will one-up you and say Animaniacs I would do over Tiny Toons. Inspector Gadget pinball. That would be good. He is a closet cartoon fan. And I bet he cosplays as the man on the weekend. Mm-hmm. Oh, He-Man. As He-Man. He-Man on the weekends. You know what? No. No. If I was going to cosplay anything, I was going to dress my wife up as Jessica Rabbit. And that's it. True. Stop picturing my wife, you freak. I had to. I had to kind of go through that. You are dope. I know one. Tim fell asleep by now. You're right, Glenn. I know one that Ian would be into, a G.I. Joe from the 80s. Nope. No. I've changed my mind now. No, I would. I'd like that. But it wouldn't be based on the cartoon. It would be based on the toys. Man toys, tanks, missiles, lasers. And I love laser war. And I love laser war. So you think if they brought a G.I. Joe, a He-Man, or a Transformers, they wouldn't do the cartoon? I would hope not. hmm well maybe yeah they should they should yeah they should what else are you gonna do the live action movie man remember that oh my god ivan drago yeah yeah yeah yeah so bad that is the best he hasn't i can't i mean the the shout outs alone for a he-man skeletor like the skeletor was awesome in that he-man show the cartoon but oh yeah no it's uh it's it's classic Pinky and the Brain Pinball. Bobby's World Pinball. That would make a good world under Glass Glen. The Three Stooges. Dalton, what are you talking about the Three Stooges for? That's silliness. Dalton, we have made our peace with Munsters, and now you want to bring back the Three Stooges. Pee Wee Herman's Pinball will sell. It will. It will sell. Pee Wee Herman's Pinball will sell. Hell yeah, it would. Bobby's World. No. There's no doubt about it. No. Rolling Stones Vault. Dalton, get out. Dalton. you already had three strikes coming in yeah now you're at 10 get out i don't know what kind of game this is that you're playing you have this many strikes dalton whatever that is that's how many strikes you have all right okay let's uh let's go to game room porn let's just move on let's just move on i'm sweating here uh all right should we guys guys want to do some game room board we do i'll answer for them they do how'd that go for you push some more buttons oh wow such clean and polished it's so big and inviting don't move no i want to take it all in although that rubber looks a little big nice collection the pinball point of the week brought to you by the poor man's pinball podcast what am i doing nobody knows oh my god all right all right sorry i got distracted so somebody's living room or basement this is the living room oh my god are you married it's from heineken 621 is this man or woman married because like i see plants in the background so i'm assuming yes yeah i joke with my wife all the time i'm like what would you do if i set up a game in the living room and she tells me all the time i would cut off your balls and that would be the end of our marriage yeah well the two of them well yeah in more ways than one but the two of them that's angled so aggressively towards the couch oh my god i don't i couldn't focus on anything anything on the tv like whoa as much as i love pinball yeah that's like two big wooden penises looking at me when the closest i god i have a problem with penises was when i got my star wars they it was shipped on its legs right yeah so the guys brought it in to my living room and it's on its legs and i said to kathleen i'm like i'm just gonna leave this here that looks good yeah exactly i was like yeah good here kathleen she goes the fuck you will get that in your room so i had to take it off the legs and put it in the room i was like fine cool this guy needs the pirates of the caribbean topper yeah very cool get a hold of this guy he's got a trunk oh is that adam's family adam's family yeah adam's family looks like it's in pretty good shape from what i can tell and then yeah that pirates what a game when i play everyone is right that is one of the few wide bodies that does not play like a fucking wide body and and i understand the value of it not the 38 000 value of it I see the $10,000 value of it, right? Mm-hmm. No. Should have bought it when I could. Yeah. I think a lot of people say that now. Well, yeah, and I just, you know, the theme doesn't do a ton for me. Jeremy Schmidt, can't have a game in the living room? Yeah, Jeremy. Yeah, Jeremy, the guy who has 23 games in his duplex. Yeah. Okay, Jeremy. He has a mattress on five of them so he can sleep at night. Jeremy, are you giving out marriage counseling now? Please come over and talk to Kathleen. I'm sure she'll love to hear this. Oh, yeah. But no, man. Shoot, if you're going to only have room for two, what the hell? Yeah. Not a bad two, right? No, it's definitely a good two. Yeah. Two very different games. Oh, yeah. And Pirates, as deep as it is, and Adam's family, as nostalgic as it is, people coming over, they're going to probably gravitate, funny enough, to Adam's family first. Oh, yeah. And then get to Pirates. Oh, yeah. Easy. And go, this is too complex. I'm going back to Adam's family. Can you see that in that scenario? I can, but the thing about pirates, though, just you look at it, and it just looks impressive. Oh, it does. It's a whole world under glass. Sorry I had to say it, but it is. You see the rocking ship. You see the chest. You see there's a million places for the ball to go. It's just awesome. So, anyways. So whose room is this again? Like I said, Heineken, 621. Okay, we're going to call him Heine. Heine, good job, man. Great game, Heine. Or Lady. Very cool. All right. You need to get Pirates of the Caribbean top. If it's a lady, I can't make a joke saying I like your Heine. Nope, you can't. All right, and then the next room we're going to go to, this is Dave from New York. And this is a fucking crazy collection. You ready for this one, Drew? I'm ready. All right, here we go. All right, so this is just one of three slides. So we got ourselves Secret Service. We learned all about that last week. We did. we did dirty harry roller games junkyard and elvira i mean right there that's a hell of a line that's a lot of fun check it out you have the alphanumeric you have the dmd you have the old uh data east you have uh a modern elvira yeah yeah it's that's a sharp look collection i mean that secret service just looks so good next to dirty harry just want to throw that out there and roller games dalton dalton says roller games and dirty harry two of the most underrated games ever yep i agree man roller games are we gonna have that debate roller games roller games they are underrated but not the most underrated games of all our games i feel like you're not listening to me drew very cool all right let's go to the next next slide here we go we're getting into the meat potatoes here so this is let's see here yeah we got all sorts of stuff going on here so this is elvira house of horrors um doctor who this is pinball let me stop you right there yeah doctor who uh i played again at district 82 i only played once when i was in seattle and i was really stoned by the way yeah um and and i enjoyed it yeah but you know i was i was really baked and i was playing it and i was like this is cool and i played at district 82 sober as hell and if i was a doctor who fan i would have doctor who in my house absolutely because that game that pinball game stripped of all the doctor who stuff is still an amazing fucking pinball game you know and i don't hate doctor who i just don't know anything about it i don't watch it it's not our thing yeah but holy crap what a great game so go ahead no since it's pinball that's a big guns and i never realized how big a big guns is look at that backbox it's how big guns i didn't know they're gonna take that shit literally jesus anyway so there's big guns uh pinball magic johnny mnemonic and corvette at the end and then there's an em at the very end and i couldn't tell what that was and i played johnny mnemonic and corvette at district 82 as well good i'm so happy for you both solid games yeah good man no have you ever played pinball magic yes okay i saw that over at Dave Jeff Brenner's house. Yes. Or was it Ryan Kuyper? Probably Dave. I don't think Ryan has that. Oh, yeah. Probably Dave. Yeah. Pretty cool. If you're wondering who has the game, it's probably Dave. Probably Dave. Dave gave it to Ryan. All right. So, very cool. All right. Let's check out the other bank. Ready? This is another impressive bank. You ready for this, Drew? Yep. Oh, my God. Oh, there she is. Earthshaker. Whirlwind. Earthshaker. Adam's Family. Last Action Hero. Tales from the Crypt, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, Twilight Zone, and the getaway. Jesus. That right there, that's a classic collection. I mean, look at that. Look at that. You have two of Pat Lawler's disaster pins right next to each other. Then you have the Pat Lawler Addams Family right next to that. Last Action Hero is just a good game paired with Tales from the Crypt, two of data east you know classes those are two of data east best games yeah they are uh judge dread which has really grown on me i'm actually might be looking for a judge dread you know everyone gives me shit about uh papi judge dread might be a super pin i might actually get because that that'd be awesome uh demo man uh has grown on me and then what's the other one oh um twilight zone in the getaway. What can you say about the Twilight Zone that hasn't been said already? I mean, he's got probably $100,000 worth of pins in his basement, but no ceiling. He's just got his installation. No drywall. He was just like, he said, honey, I want an electrician, and I want $100,000 with a pinball. That's all I need. What do you think my basement's going to look like when it's done? I should shut up. I'm working on my basement. What are you doing i got five games coming tomorrow yeah they're going working on it what a killer line i know that is serious that is serious so that is dave from new york but that's when you know people have problems because yeah they don't finish their basements and they're just like yeah we're just putting a sticker on the door that says arcade a couple cheap clocks and he was like fuck it you hundred thousand dollars worth of games you belong here sir what do you think this one is right here this blue one in the corner oh that's a good question see that is that the whirlwind maybe that must be the whirlwind yeah it's possible yeah hey he's got a cruising usa in the back there jesus he's selling that to make room for more pins dude seriously i mean your ass is the elbows in this basement filled with pens who needs a finished ceiling priorities yeah priorities right need room for the toppers zach would be proud yeah if we go to the ceiling we gotta fit some fucking thousand dollar toppers in here somewhere yeah that is a pretty incredible collection yeah that really is out holy shit well it spans the entire yeah yeah that's just great that might be a golden tea on the way back yeah so other than alvira right he doesn't have a single modern pin and yet this is the collection you want to have. Isn't it right? It's still super impressive. That's what I'm saying. It's very impressive, and he has Elvira, but that is it from the modern era, which is very, very cool. Yeah, he's old school. Yeah, I really dig it. Not super old school, but old school enough. Yeah, the DMD. He's really pushing those DMDs, so that's awesome. I wonder how much Elvira House of Horror gets played versus some of these others, because I really like Elvira. I love Elvira, but I don't know that I'd spend much time on it down there. Honestly. I'd be playing Earthshaker, Last Action Hero, Dread. I'd try to get some time on Twilight Zone. It's a hard game to find if it's in good condition. That's very true. Whirlwind is always good. Roller games, I'd get some play on. Junkyard is really moving up the charts. Yeah, that's another one of those. Yeah. Remember how Congo, you couldn't sell a Congo, and then all of a sudden, everyone was like, this is Congo! We're not doing that. Exactly. When we got into this hobby, Congos were literally $2,800. Yeah. And now I saw someone, it was like $6,800, $7,000. Yes. I was like, what the fuck has happened? Yeah. You could get a Congo all day long. There was some for $2,500, I think. Yeah. And it wasn't that long ago. Cavalier. System 11 Envy. Jack Rabbit, I was thinking the same thing. Glenno, is Judge Dredd a super pin? I haven't played it. It is. Dalton, just put a suspended ceiling over that bad boy. Let's see here. No need for the topper. Oh, need room for the toppers. Yeah, we need a finish. Who needs this finish ceiling, right? Let's see here. Nice. Close quarters. That's what I'm saying, man. You know, if I'm playing and I let out a fart, I'm affecting 12 people's game. what's inside my butthole i would love to have this i know uh dalton tspp is overrated hey man it almost won the overrated challenge on final round pinball well it depends how you i'm not saying simpsons is not like the best game it's not i love the theme it's been in my collection the longest uh there are better games out there i so you know it depends on your definition of overrated i have to defend it a little bit because it is a really great game um yeah i don't know that's a good question him baldock our price police came in uh rare to find congo last sale 5800 yeah yeah yeah they're they're up there because like i said i remember i would see them all the time i would see them and i you know i kind of i played it once or twice i'm like yeah it's kind of cool played at mgc i was like ah shit yeah i get it yeah i get it exactly such And you'd see them, and they were always, like I said, right around $3,000, maybe a little less, maybe a little more, but it was always right in that area. And then sometime in the last 12 months, it was just like, yeah, $4,000. And then it was $6,000. And then, yeah, they said $5,800. I mean, they are. Yeah, that was a little bit of a System 11 orgy in there. It was beautiful. Yes. Beautiful games, man. And the System 11s, I've been talking to a lot of people, and I'm still maintaining that most System 11s value for dollar is probably the best in pinball. There you go. Right? Yeah. You know, Mousing Around, Swords of Fury, Funhaus. Well, Funhaus is, again, pretty expensive. But F-14, you know, Grand Lizard. There's a ton of them. Diner. There's still Earthshaker. They're still the best value. Sure. Absolutely. No, I agree with you. I agree with you 100%. Because you don't have the DMD, you have the alphanumeric, everything's on the play field. It's just good. Awesome, man. All right, well, again, thank you, Heineken621, and thank you, Dave from New York. Heine and Dave from New York. I appreciate it. So that was Game Room Porn, and everyone here is all jazzed up, because that was a lot of pinball right there, baby. That was. All right, so I think we're going to wrap it up, guys. I want to thank all of our sponsors again. Flip N Out Pinball, let's get that going. Glenn just loves his freaking diner, man. Glenn just wrote on here in chat, diner is greater than Earthshaker. What do you think? I like the shots of diner, but I can't play it very long. No, I can't play it very long. Earthshaker I could play a lot longer. I find it more interesting. But Glenn's coming at it like a competitive player like he is. He's a genius. So he sees these things. He sees how the rules stack up, and he loves the rules of dynamo. Glenn, I like drinking and having fun. I don't know if you knew that. That's my M.O. So when the machine shakes, I love it. Yes. Let's see. Emily and Dr. John. Dr. John, thanks, all. Great to hang out. Thanks, Dr. John. Woo! Rachel Flips, great episode. No new episode from us this week. No worries. Good night, guys. Tony Scoot, thank you very much.

Remember, guys, MGC and Expo are coming up in a few months. It's really not that long away. Get your livers ready, kids. Make your plans. Get your hotels, and let's do this. Yes, absolutely. If you can't make one, make, you know, if you can only make one, make the Expo one because I think that'll be a bit of a crazier party. That's where more people are going to be. Yeah. Oh, did I tell you a real quick funny story? Jeff LaGrange, one of our tribe members, he doesn't spend a lot of time on Facebook. He sent us an email. He lives here in Milwaukee, right? He said, where's a good hotel to stay for MGC? We should be posting in Maryland. Yeah, I heard that. And he was serious. And he goes, yeah, because I don't want to drive. I said, that's cool, man. I said, I have no idea what the hotels are like in Milwaukee. Because I don't spend a lot of time at hotels in Milwaukee. It was kind of funny. Yes, no doubt. It made me chuckle. All right, guys. Well, thank you very much. Have a great rest of your week. And we'll see you later. Thanks, guys. I wonder what the side of a pool. I wonder what the side of a pool. I wonder what the side of a pool.
