I was like, holy fuck, what are you buying? I bought it all! Look at this thing.

This is actually the used one. It's causing me a rash because it has not been cleaned. Because it's got syphilis. I am the pinball god. I have done this. So his bar behind us, you can kind of see it. I don't want to get cut. I will get tetanus. From end to end are literally pinball parts for a creature. It's amazing. It looks awesome. Ow. It looks like a pinball manufacturer down here, except there's no one that knows how to manufacture pinball down here. Or assemble creatures. I took it apart going, I'm never going to remember this. Took a picture of it, and you know what's going to happen when I look at that picture? You're going to call Dave. What the fuck is that a picture of? Exactly, I know. That's how that goes. Oh, man. Yeah, new ramps. Jeremy, he bought all new ramps, all new posts, all new plastics, all new... LEDs. Color DMD. He bought a new mirrored back glass. From CPR. Thank you very much. He bought, what else did you get? You got new bumper caps. You got new, it's new everything. I mean, the play field right now. Plastics are all new. The play field is like, it's stripped down. I mean, the top of it's just completely stripped down to nothing. Yeah, plastics. We got a few mods. I got the drive-in movie theater mod. I got the taillight mod. I am so excited. I have, like he said, the Color DMD mod. I got some Penn Stadium fusions coming. the neos uh yeah you know and new balls and uh yeah so far we're gonna see how the uh the hologram looks um i'm having a hard time getting so he he sold octoberfest and just the parts he bought he's still in the hall no no no we're breaking even baby so instead of an octoberfest i'm gonna have the nicest creature in the world and the funniest thing only dude possible to my buddy jeremy who gave me a good deal on the creature i don't think Laura's listening. She's not. I was like, oh, man. I'm like, you have all these parts down here. What does Laura think? He goes, I get home before her every single day. Yeah, she has not come down here yet. And that is why. I still got my wedding going on. I bribed the Amazon guy. I bribed the FedEx guy. And I'm like, can you call me, please, when this package comes? I'll feed you. Oh, my God. And I go, yep, I know. Yeah. so anyways i yeah i'm so excited and i cannot wait uh balls out says congrats on the machine i love creature yeah this thing i ian's so excited about this and i'm super excited for him and just seeing the fact he tore this whole thing down already i'm just i'm really happy polished her up baby she looks great yeah yeah she was already great but i'm just gonna make make extra love to her as it were so yeah no very fun i had a lot of fun the last couple weeks just doing that cleaning everything i found some new fun cleaner called tough stuff yeah why don you it a foam cleaner where you get amazon so i was looking on uh youtube i don know I was watching something pinball related and there was some guy who was cleaning his playfield And I got to say, I didn't like a lot of the things he was doing to his playfield. Pretty much like he wasn't replacing all the rubbers. You know, like he was, I don't want to get to those. And then he just left them black and chewed up, but then put like nice rubbers on the front where you could reach them. I like doing that. Yeah, if you're going to do it, do it all out, guys. And then there was a few other things I didn't care for the way he was doing some stuff. And he was laying all his tools on the play field. I was like, ah, no, not that. But anyway, besides that, but he did have some foam cleaner that I was like, oh, that's kind of interesting. He kind of digs in there and is cleaning it up. But then I was like, I'll just look on Amazon to see if there's any foam cleaners out there. And I picked that stuff out and I did a little test spot. And, yeah, Tough Stuff is pretty good. It really brightened up the field. Oh, that's awesome, man. I don't know if it took off all the wax that was built up, but it definitely left it to a good finish. So I waxed her up for a little wax. And then you know what he was doing I thought was interesting? And maybe I was wrong. Maybe you guys can check and correct me. But he was telling everybody that he waxed all his playfields with Novus. I've always thought Novus was a scratch remover. It is. I've heard of people doing it. Do you guys wax your fields with Novus? I've been using a carnauba wax, actual wax, car wax, since I started. Oh, I have carnauba wax, too. Like, I remember. Right there, Michael Williams. No, this is not a wax. That's what I said. It's not a wax. Yeah. I don't remember what game it was, but, yeah, that real car wax. It says right on the goddamn thing, scratch remover. I know. And he's pouring it all over his play field. Yeah. And just, like, buffing it in. I'm like, whoa. I saw some of those videos, and it makes me. Yeah, it removes the surface, says Mike Williams. It's abrasive. Yeah. It is abrasive. All right, thank you, everybody. Yeah. I wasn't losing my mind. I was like, what is he doing? You put a thick coat of wax, like real wax, and the difference is night and day. Oh, yeah. It's awesome. Like, every time I get a new game and I do that, oh, it's just great. There's a cream with sand in it. It is, yeah. It is, Billy. It is. Carnuba only. Thank you, Dr. John, for clearing that up. Yeah. No, Carnuba only. That's what I use. I have it somewhere around here. I haven't waxed it yet, but I will be waxing shortly. I have, like, three different colors post-summit. And when Ian waxes his machines, he does it like the 80s car wash. He wears the cutoff short shorts, and that's it. And then he waxes his machine. They're not cutoffs. They're 80s, like, the bicycle shorts. The bicycle shorts. Yeah, they're real tight. Yeah. I got to wear my white tighties or my balls fall off. Ian has a headband on, no shirt, and he's just waxing away. Yeah, and I have, like, a towel kind of hanging off my back pocket, too, you know? And I play Wham!, you know, George Michael mostly when I do all of my pit. Can you make a video of that and put that on the poor man's page? Yeah. Wax it up before I go-go, because I don't want you to go so low. Wax it up before you go. No, I won't do it. Oh, my God. Anyway, let's move on. I love it. That's my shit. Moving on. That's great, man. Thank you, everybody. That was great. I'm excited about it. I have somebody who's interested in my meteor, and I told him, I said, hey, full disclosure, I still got this switch issue, right? He's like, oh, that's cool. And he's a well-known pinball person. I'm not going to out him here, but he's going to drive five hours to come get it. And I'm like, that's good. Where is he? What? Where is he? Five hours. I forgot where he is. He's in like Ohio or something. Anyways, so, you know, we work out this deal and I say, yeah, I got this switch issue. And he's like, oh, it's cool. I need a summer project. I thought Guy was getting it. He never got back. Oh, OK. so anyways uh so then i'm like i got i got super motivated the other day i'm like i'm gonna fucking find this thing right so i go through every switch every diode i start i start shotgunning this thing replacing diodes and capacitors and just doing all this shit right do this one still having the same issue i keep following it down the switch matrix finally i get to the one boom fixed it congratulations yeah yeah just you know i just had to get the motivation i was so frustrated with it every time so my earth shaker is right next to it right and i'm playing that thing every day and every fucking ball i look over at this meteor and i'm like fuck you you bitch every single time i'm just i was so mad don't worry everybody i do not talk to my games like that i do fuck that bitch yeah so i uh i respect my bitch i was so mad you just called my wife a bitch jesus christ and i respect that bitch touche uh so yeah so anyways i finally get this thing working i'm like i'm so excited you know i can put it back you know put the last couple plastics on call it good and and we're good so yeah i'm just excited it's getting out soon and then i can buy that shadow from jeremy Hey, Jay Sellers. What up, buddy? Hey, Jay. So, yeah, that's what I got going on. My basement's on hold for just a week or two while we finish this stuff outside. High pinball profile. We're doing all this outside stuff at my house and the lawn and grading and whatever, but then I'll get back to the basement. That'll be my late summer project, so I'm still excited about that. Cool, man. So, yeah, lots of good stuff going on. So, should we get into some real news, some twip news? Something happened this week? Yeah, a couple things. oh boy here we go let's do it we're talking mando now yeah let's do it i don't want to talk about this other shit oh mando got dropped by stern first impressions first impressions uh looks like a fun stern hey 8.5 degrees good evening it looks like a thank you fucking really fun stern does it not you guys out there even if you're not a star wars fan that looks like uh that looked like a game i wanted to shoot i was talking to somebody today and i said even though i've kind of cooled off on like the newest sterns there's a lot in that game yeah there is so you know it's they they purposely tried to do more this time it seems that way you know that that's exactly that was my thought because it was the same do you now here's the here's the question of the day though question of the day how much do you think the difference is between push it again there come those skittles they're raining down the skittles are raining down uh what what do you think the difference is percentage wise i mean obviously we don't know dollar amounts but like between the star wars license and the mandalorian license oh good question so is it is it 50 as expensive you know let's say star wars cost them five hundred thousand dollars sure that that makes sense because beatles cost a million right so whatever so 500 grand or 750 grand or whatever the number is how much do you think mandalorian cost you know was it was it less considerably assume less but it was such a big show though i would yeah well you know what is star wars they probably maybe it's the same that's what i'm saying like does they go to disney and i know they have a ground pinball same cost he's so confident so confident and two twart says less yeah i don't know i mean because like i said it is so confident another guy so confident i don't know i'm torn you know so my question is is that why they were able to put in more because the license was less or had they just been watching the market and seeing the feedback and they're like mondo is more packed than connor's sock tour after a laundry day Canada. Even the Twitch ladies calling him Canada. Canada. Hey, Canada. Canada. Fucking Canada. So anyways, that was kind of my question. So really, I guess the real question is, are we going to see more like this? Or was this just Stern saying, yeah, we're going to take this big license and do something big with it? Well, let's talk about what's in it. Because I'm pretty sure by now nobody has heard that this got dropped and didn't see any pictures. You heard it here first, folks. So we're going to break some news, kids. You know, we take a week off. It's only been around for like 10 days. Wait, wasn't Fathom the new game when we were here? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, Fathom in 1981. That's how long we've been gone. Love you, Fathom. Love you, Damien. All right, so what does this game have? Oh, so much. You know. Okay, keep going. No, just keep going. I want to know. Well, we're not going to read the Matrix. People can read their own goddamn Matrix. Well, give us the gist of it. Let me go to the pictures here. Here's the gist of it. It's got a upper play field with the shape of the Mandalorian helmet. It's got like six stand-up targets, I believe, on there. What's cool is the damn thing tilts, which is a first as far as I understand on a second play field. So very cool. It's got a Baby Yoda. You know, that's good to draw in all the fans of the show and the all ages. You know, the Baby Yoda is cute. Everyone loves Baby Yoda. And Baby Yoda is in front of a magnet, obviously, and I think Baby Yoda can move a little bit. Nope. Some people have said he moves. I thought that was debunked. Whatever. It doesn't matter. How many dildos is Grogu smuggling? As many as he can fit up his... He's got the force, bro. Just follow him. He's followed by a bunch of magical dildos. It's like you don't even know Star Wars, man. But Grogu, yeah, he's got a little force magnet thing. uh they got the little they have a diverter which is nice and it's in the pro which was shocking to me that sir is going to throw diverters in a pro go ahead you got pictures i don't i don't want to poo-poo this because we haven't seen it in in real time yet but i'm going to nitpick here a little bit i haven't i was talking the last couple of weeks about how much i love magnets and games right yep and why didn't they put one in star wars and blah blah blah and I do. I love magnets. So far, what I see with this magnet, I don't see a huge use for it. It's Grogu, dude. Yeah, I know, but it's in front of him, and then it just drops. Yeah, it's not exactly the most clever use of a magnet in pinball. That's what I would get. Raise your hand if you think Stern has done something extremely clever in pinball, with the exception of the game we're talking about with the tilting second play. And I could be wrong, because I know that software can do a lot with magnets. They can do different pulses and make it shoot up, shoot down. But there's nowhere for the ball to go back there. Tell me more about magnets. Yeah. It's hot. That's all I got. Using software to puff, puff, pow, pow. But my S-pulse. I'm talking to you. Love letters. My overall impression is really good. Artwork said awesome. How many cheese slices for artwork? let's just do it fuck it cheese slice city here we go kids artwork 52 52 cheese slices oh my god that's a lot i'm gonna go much less i'm gonna go 12 12 for the art i don't i don't think it's i don't like it i just don't like it i like the comic book art style more um i like how they incorporate you know in the yeah but unfortunately for this it doesn't work for the mandalorian In my eyes, if you're a fan of the show, there's nothing comic book-y about that show. It's dark. It's gritty. At the end of every episode, they show you that concept art, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. And even that's really dark and very, very fine art-esque. I would have loved to have seen an entirely different take on it. So do you think it's the color palette or the actual art? I think it's the actual art. I would have done something differently to make it more serious. You personally would have done something differently? Well, you know, me, I would take my crayons, right? stick figure art's subjective it's not bad comic book art but i don't think it really hits the head on the nail with mandalorian do you like the mandalorian holding grogu no i don't like it because he looks like he's drawn in a comic book i don't want it comic book style at all so you wanted photoshop and i thought well that's what the back glass is that looks terrible the back glass is very boring to me i thought that was a mistake the way they did the black back glass so so i'm sorry i don't think the art package is great so the overall art package you're not you're impressive no no he did a great job on it but it didn't hit the mando vibe i was hoping for and i'm sure i'm not alone there's probably people out there no that's that's that that's fair that's that's a real fair um criticism but it's still not the best the worst art we've seen no stern in a long time no it's it's definitely um so so what do you think of the mandalorian head toys and gimmicks yeah boys and gimmicks i'll go first go ahead all right one cheese slice wow this is this is taking a dark turn i ate that keep going what are you doing well i once again how many cheese slices three wow not many more no here here here's my thing like i like i said i appreciate what stern tried to do here and i i i think the layout is very cool um i think what Brian Eddy did with the space is actually pretty neat um but as far as toys and mechs i'm gonna be that guy and say they didn't wow me with us yeah yeah because all it would have took to wow me would have been if they would have done something a little bit better with grogu okay and i like neat little novelty things right yep i don't care for the upper playfield oh yeah i said it i was gonna all right really we're in agreement whoa that is this is a first it took 100 episodes but we made it we figured out that we still like each other uh that upper playfield is the most boring i don't care if it does a rotate slaps me in the ass look at it it bores me to look at it i don't like the stand-up targets i don't even understand what that's like supposed to like represent in the movie you could have done a whole lot of different things it is the star wars universe i'm on a roll here okay keep going i'm making a lot of sense roll away roll this gummy kicks in i need to talk now so i can skate by later um no i just don't know hey jesse j welcome hey jesse um let me get the mic sorry everybody um but no i just don't see what that has to do with the show or you know at all and to me yeah it's kind of boring just stand-up stand-ups to me just scream I'm sorry. The Lord of the Rings upper play field is the worst upper play field. I disagree. Yeah, I don't think I disagree, too. I'd say this is much worse. Yeah, I just like I said, we'll get to it in a moment here, but I'm just going to say it. So I'll say it twice. The the whole package, the way it's put together. I'm OK with it. Yeah, looks great. But but the upper play is so toys and gimmicks. I'm not sold. Yeah. I wanted to see something different. But good thing that there's enough interesting shots to make up for it, right? Yes. Shots and layout. See that segue? Ooh, I like what you did there. Shots and layout for our 100th episode? I'm going to give it 100 cheese slices. Oh, my God. Me too. 100 cheese slices. That game looks so much fun to shoot. It does. It looks so fun. But let's talk about this little prickly thing that's been going on, which I don't understand. Plastic ramps versus wire forms? Oh, my God. Jesus. Holy fuck. Sorry. when I got the juice I could read minds oh man we've been together way too long I said juice they're all giving their tribe member numbers I love that everyone in chat the tribe members in chat are giving away their tribe member numbers it's pretty neat just to see that thank you guys and we love y'all tribe member or not who's in the hot tub that's how he started it hot tub um yeah what what was the with the choice with that well what does it go it goes they're the exact same ramps yeah yeah they go plastic in the pro yeah the versus the wire crossing plastic ramps it's just bizarre no someone mentioned like i think it was zach talking uh today on his show he's like i don't even know what's more expensive right because you know in today's world with lumber and everything else going haywire right plastic's way more expensive exactly so like the plastic ramps cost more and they're you know it just i don't know it's science weird about it so um in someone it's it's so weird barbie i agree with you a very unique layout it's very unique people are actually working on mods to make metal for your pro good for you which is which is for you guys but uh wire forms oh mike williams says wire forms are way more well i would assume so because they're in the premiums and not the pros but it's still kind of weird so Mike Williams, man, you're smart You've done this before, sir It's almost like you're a chemical engineer Yeah, it's like you almost like to correct us If you don't know, Mike Williams is our producer of the show and he lets us know when we're idiots, so it's great He calls me every day and tells me Yes, we love that It's that kind of encouragement that keeps us going um so yeah like yeah orby's right uh very unique layout very cool i can't wait to shoot this thing um i'm confused about the shot with the the ship yeah everyone correct it's got it's got an upside down target yes that flips down yeah um i don't i don't have a good picture of it here but yeah it's a tough one um could be cool by the way it sounds like and that's unique too the toys and gimmicks i don't want to take away from from where Brian Eddy did here because like i said once again the layout brian i know you listen to our show hi brian um hi brian hi keith alwyn i know you're listening to yep you guys all the designers are there george i'm loving it loving deadpool george um it sounds to me like each shot kind of has its own like unique thing that they did you know they did the upside down thing they have they have the little flip up ramp that comes up or whatever so they they did some unique things and so i guess you could call those toys or gimmicks um so i think that's the shots and layout i just think they did a great job okay well fair enough so and i get what you're saying and the fact that they put the same 3d ship and all the models and it wasn't a plastic and the lights light up on all three models you know so i'm starting to see a little change with stern and i and i really enjoy it and like said because i i've been you guys know what that ship would have looked like last year right oh plastic ramp whatever plastic piece i always like the plastic on deadpool pro with him in the hammock yes like they spent all this money to make like the hammock move and i just think to myself that is the most ridiculous deadpool on hammock it could have just been a note card that Says, I'm a ship. Yeah. You know, like. Insert Deadpool here. Imagine very cool model. So the question is. Yeah. Does this game intrigue you more than the original Star Wars game from Stern? So they both come out at the same time, right? Yeah. And you can only get one. Which one do you get? I'm going to go with the OT, the original trilogy. Okay. Okay. Uh, Drew's buying it, says Jeremy. No, I'm buying your shadow, goddammit. So, you guys in chat, if this game and Star Wars Premium come out at the same time... Listen, this is a better game. By far a better game than the other one. No, I would only go based solely on... I'm just such a sucker for the original trilogy. Guys, back me up on that one, okay? Some of us old farts. Tim Lee says Mando... Nothing has come after Return of the Dead. Mike Williams, you didn't have to answer that. I know how much you love your Star Wars premium. Yeah. Mando looks more intriguing. And they definitely did more to it. They did. Stephen Silver, Data East Star Wars. Data East, baby. Mando, good. That was your first one, remember? I remember, Steven. Yeah. Mando, but need to play first. Yeah, I don't know. I'm looking forward to playing it. You know, this is kind of... I'm really excited to play this. Yes. Yes. This one should be really cool to play. I'm actually excited to play any new pinball, because I haven't played new pinball since Stranger... I haven't even played Stranger Things. Really? That's how long it's been. Stranger Things, they have one at the Garcade. Whenever are we going to the Garcade? We're going tomorrow. Okay. Going to the Garcade. Stranger Things. I can make it work on Thursday. We're going on Thursday. All right. I told Tim Lee this because he was so high on it. I've been playing it more and more now when I go to the Garcade, and it's a good game. Cool, man. Cavalier. I agree. Nothing worth a damn after Return of the Jedi. Fair. Thank you. It's true. Jeremy says let's go. Yep, we're going to the Garcade, Jeremy. The Garcade. Fuck it. It's going to happen. Love it. As soon as you sell me your shadow. What is with him? It's my shadow. Everyone knows this. I'm just going to need some money. I was going to say, you're a shadow worth of parts on your bar right now. But honey, it's the last one. Last time I buy a pen, sweetie, I swear. How many of you guys say that? That's how I got my... The last one, honey. That's how I got my Metallica. I said, they're not making it anymore, Kathleen. It's the last run. Well, like your last one you were ever going to buy. That's what I'm saying. But I get it. It's never the last one. Well, honey, I sound like a freaking drug addict. This is the last time I use it. I swear to God. Totally. Never say that. Says Jack Rabbit. Honey, pinball, it's all about you. Not pinball. Next day. Honey, I got a creature. I'm selling Octoberfest. She's like, oh, that's great. and i bought a creature she didn't like that i sold it she doesn't like when i sell them she hates when i buy them isn't that weird that's all right okay okay so uh okay so where are we at shots layout uh gimmicks what else is there oh we don't know about sound and all that stuff uh yeah you know what was funny i thought it was funny they didn't show a lot of well the the teaser is where i'm at with this but uh did they show animations yet on this no no no nowhere pinball is an addiction no cure but more pinball you are so right cuz um so this game start an aa but what would you call it pp pp pinballs something pa pinball anonymous oh yeah we need it um i need it i have a problem i needed all clear raps because the The ones weren't clear enough. Yeah. Were those other ones cracked? No, they were slightly yellow. They weren't clear enough. I don't want to translate that. I want a back glass. It's so silly. Not when you see that back glass. Nope definitely not It doesn have he who shall not be named signature on it It a sandwich or dough Yeah probably smash it No, I'll sell it. There's got to be some idiot out there with money that'll be like, autographed, sold. True enough. I'll be like, just don't Google him. Yeah, don't Google him. Don't Google him. So Dwight Sullivan is coding this. Any concerns there, Drew? Yeah, I don't have any concerns. There's been a lot of talk about it because Dwight Sullivan is one of the most polarizing rule makers out there, I would say. People either love him or hate him. There's a few people that say, I like a couple of his games, but for the most part, people are either in the Dwight camp or they're not. You got Star Wars, you got Turtles, you got... Crap. Drawing a blank. Game of Thrones, Monsters. Oh, God, he's done so many. Ghostbusters, yep. Ones that I want. So I guess I would say I'm a Dwight Sullivan fan, but a lot of people just don't care for it, which is fine. Do you think Creature will be remade by CGC? Not for a long, long time, brother. Maybe eventually, but not for a while. Even if it's only three on the list, it'll take them ten years. At this rate? Yeah. But I'm pumped. We're at one every three years. We'll get it done. cgc is remaking a pinball company what um uh yeah so dwight sullivan's coding it um i don't know i'm fine with it but there's a lot of people who are nervous about that so i say let's see what he does exactly you know white might surprise turtles turtles was more on unlike anything he's ever done i find it interesting that he did turtles and now he's doing this like where's lyman been people said that lyman he's coding harry potter you fuckers yeah he's he's in his basement with his hood on how long it takes to code a game based on 18 movies 34 books it takes a while he's got to code him he's got to read he's got to watch he's got some harry pottering to do um yeah i mean you know like the code can be anything and but yeah dwight certainly has his own style and we'll see how that ends up. So there you go. That's the Mandalorian. It's beautiful. So let's talk about something related to the Mandalorian, but not quite. Are you going to get a Mandalorian? Who, me? I thought that's where you're going with it. No. Okay. Not yet. We'll see. I'll buy a used one maybe. There you go. So the LE thing. This kind of tore the community apart this last couple weeks. Okay. So we have these 750 LEs, and they're allotted all to distributors, right? And every distributor, based on their size and their order counts, get X number of LEs, right? Yes. That's kind of known. Everyone knows how it works. Now, there are people, including some people in our tribe, that got really, really upset because they couldn't get an LE. I was, one, shocked that we had some people in the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast try that was getting an le yes who the fuck are these deep pocket bastards well you know rod and down there in australia seems to buy yep quite a bit well it's just so here here's the thing dr john all of our australians are rich um this isn't a life-saving device this isn't a I am going this way because we're in for a treat I just I understand the frustration of not being able to get something you want but at the same time you know if you have something that is in high demand you would ask more money for it that's just the way the world works right so i no i i don't know what we're talking about i'm not upset at people for having their opinion that's what we're having we're having a debate here i'm on the side of if they want if they want to charge more money for these le's now i do now let me preface this by saying there were a lot of people who said you know what stern should just raise the prices and then share the profits with the with the distributors i actually really agree with that because now stern knows that they have this hot thing for the last couple of years where all these LEs are selling for several thousand dollars more than MSRP. And then even a couple of years later, a lot of them are still at MSRP or slightly below, but they're holding their value really well. So I think that Stern should, yeah, make the 500, make 300, whatever, make 800, 1,000, whatever they want to do and say, yeah, we're going to charge 15,000 for these things. Distributor makes a couple grand more. Stern makes a couple grand more and everybody wins because at some point they're not going to sell right at some price what that price is we have no idea right now it looks like 15 000 right right because if they if they jacked up the price let's just pretend that the next uh the next title comes out in a month right yep and they say okay it's this hot license harry potter whatever we have these super le's and they're they're sixteen thousand dollars they're gonna sell every single one of them right yeah twenty thousand no i think they're good well i've been saying where do you think that where do you think that line is we're still talking about le's yeah at least oh as far as how much money yeah msrp that stern could say this is the new price is it 12 000 is it 15 i'm really confused about the le market just by the point where stern says here's the msrp and then they give them to distributors and the distributors like they crumple up that paper i don't know what the bell i'm just gonna sell it for well 20 000 i don't want to be that guy but what does msrp stand for suggested i get it but still i just feel like if you were a licensed distributor of a said product you would follow whatever the district you know well they do they do have a minimum but you know what i don't know much and and and here's i think like walmart and home depot you have all their vendors and they go well we're gonna pay this price and this has been brought up before but you know you look at the pinball company right who's been around for many years and are very successful. You know, even new games now, they sell for a few hundred more than most distributors. They're still selling, which is weird, they're still selling less than MSRP on a new game, right? So follow me here, folks. They're selling for less than MSRP, but they're still more than most distributors because most distributors give a larger discount to their clients. because they want to keep their clients, obviously. And that's good business, right? Because you want to keep your clients. I think Ian's gummy is kicking in. I can tell. Yeah, it got weird. I love it. So anyways. All this LE talk. All this LE talk. Got me hot and bothered. So what do you guys think out there in chat? I mean, like I said, I'm not saying they should be price gouging per se, but i am saying that if they're selling for i guess you could call it price gouging but if they're selling for a few thousand more than msrp i'm okay with that hey man it's the le market let's get let's be reminded that that's for a limited yes yes oh absolutely that is not me no no absolutely not not harry uh orbital says harry potter 250 super le 1250 regular le and sell it day one yeah you're right orbital they could sell super yeah yeah super lds they could sell i love when you talk like that orby um i'll i'll try members doors wide open i was um reading this chat here now go for it uh so anyways um both points are valid and that's the big problem really yeah yeah jonathan hall i mean uh dr john says not getting one this time all being bought by flippers now well and that's the other thing and that's why if they charge such a price i mean eventually the flippers will get priced out but you know that it keeps going uh Stephen Silver oh i'm gonna i'm gonna quote this for my wife drew's right i'm gonna add 175 to the msrp cost of my poor man's animation what's 175 times zero i'm gonna be rich i see what you did there Stephen Silver and we appreciate everything you do for us. And I will pay you that 175 times zero anytime you want. Well, but people, I don't know. I mean, once again, I think it's a little hypocritical because if you're selling something on Facebook or eBay or whatever, right? And somebody's willing to pay you more why wouldn't you take more so i don't know and some distributors uh shout out to flipping out and zach you know zach's gone on record zach doesn't do that right zach sells his le's for 90 you know 500 90 whatever they are 9200 i don't even know because i've never fucking bought an le but um but at the same time um it's you know it is what it is so um i don't know any other thoughts on that ian the le buyers no best of luck you idiots best of luck you idiots they're so spending that much money on pinball shame on you sir and ma'am drew did some homework today i got some i'm such a jerk i'm so sorry um so somebody on pin side there was a thread obviously and people were very angry can you believe us there were people on pinside that were super angry um more than one at like two or five or 20 or 300 everyone um all storming the best deal all males and they're 50 with short little dicks um and tight pants waxing their playfields giant guts probably weird ear hair hey i'm not angry Catching on, folks. So this gentleman wrote, that's the point of Ali. It's limited. Not everyone can get one, and you have to pay extra for that little plaque. True. Sorry. Zero sympathy for you poor souls fighting over overpriced pinball machines. Buy a premium. Not only will you save a bunch of money, but you'll have zero problems buying one. And you don't have to be in that chat. I can't afford English, so it doesn't matter to me. Yay, Orby. Orby. Exactly. Thank you, Orby. Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. Yes. There was a reason why we didn't do the limited edition Pinballs podcast. Oh, man. That's too good. Any other news? What else happened this week? Oh, sorry. And then there was one more comment from one of our – who did this? I can't remember. There was a comment on our page about this Ellie thing. My thoughts are that Ian Haberman – this is Ian right here – as a reasonable poor man shouldn't let the rich morons in his hobby ruin it for him. And the way I see it, anyone that would pay for an Ali isn't the type of person we'd want to hang out with. Gotta work early. You guys rock. Thank you. Thanks so much for including me in the tribe. It especially made it rough last year a lot better. Congrats on number 100. Thanks, Jonathan Hall. Thank you for the biddies, and we love you, Jonathan Hall. And that was one of our favorite tribe members. He's just the best, man. We love it. And he helped us a lot with setting this up, too. I remember who this was now. This was Jasper Rotter. uh the way i see it is shit anyone that would pay for an le isn't the type of person that would ever hang out with a schlub like me anyways jasper that's why you're one of us uh i would never pay 10 000 for a pinball machine hell the game that gets played the most at my house is a freaking day to east that isn't worth 3 000 why because my wife and kids think it's fun you remember fun beautiful i think it's the reason most of us got in this hobby just have fun and play what you have if you aren't having fun pour a stronger drink i love our truck i love our truck if you love this Star Wars machine than buy the premium or get a pro in a 90s game and still have money left first buying an LE. Touche. LEs aren't for people that enjoy this hobby anyways. Does it really matter if distributors do this or people buy them just to flip them for profit? It doesn't impact me because I'm a poor man, dammit. I'm going to get in my Toyota and go buy some ramen now. To all you rich folks, you do enjoy your LE. I ain't mad at ya. It's funny, it's tongue-in-cheek, but he does bring up a point so this whole thing about everyone getting upset about the le's and stuff i mean ian got this creature in his house right it's gonna be an le creature baby but you love it right 101 so um the comment i made this week you know i'm playing this earth shaker i'm playing it every day and i'm loving it i spent 2500 on the thing yeah it's fucking great i know so if you're an le buyer you're a high-end collector whatever i'm i'm not mad at you either go do it go have your fun if that's what makes you fun but please don't buy a game and not play it that that is my one plea to you these these guys who these guys who brought these uh pirates of the caribbean ces or whatever for thirty thousand dollars do you think they're playing them yes i doubt it all right what else we got uh what else we got we have celebrations yeah we have lots of celebrations we got some people that sent in some great stuff we want to share with you guys um glenn was so kind with his uh opening montage um yeah but let's let's play um we have a couple clips Here we have two audio clips and one, two, I'm sorry, two audio and two video clips. What do you want to do first? Audio. Let's do it. Let's talk to Rachel. Rachel, thank you for the submission. One of our favorite tribe ladies. Yeah. Hey, Ian and Drew of the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. This is tribe member number 35, your pal, Rachel Lilge of Tribe Multiball with Tim and Rachel. Hey, congratulations on episode 100. You made it. I wanted to tell you a couple things about why I really enjoy your podcast. I think it's because you do it in your own style. It's sloppy, but it's uninhibited and raw, which makes it hilarious and real. I really like watching the two of you interact and hearing the two of you interact. You're just two brothers from another mother, just sharing your love of flipping balls. with no fucks given to the world. I can really appreciate that. On a personal note, thank you for inducting me into the tribe, because now I am stuck with Tim Lee as my co-host in my first podcast, so thanks real much. Well, for reals, though. I've had a chance to connect and meet some awesome folks because of your show, and it's really amazing what can happen when one door opens for you. Again, congrats on episode 100. wishing you lots of success in both of your personal and pinball endeavors sending you hugs love you guys all right love you rachel man touchy rachel i get the feel sometimes so much that was awesome we're gonna crack open a beer for that one yes we're cheersing to rachel and our hundred but before we get to our next one um i just want to comment on uh so zach here is in here in chat flipping out pinball ellies aren't for people that enjoy this hobby anyway he's quoting oof strong take um yeah i know he said that um and i don't believe that zach who said that uh it's jasper and this little thing i i don't believe that but i do believe that there is a section of this hobby just like classic cars or watches or you know any other hobby where people like they hoard this stuff and they're like oh i got the best stuff and i keep it really clean and i don't think that's pinball though i like to wax my play field in in my shorts um which which is fine if that's if that's how you want to do it i'm just saying that's not for me that's all i'm pretty sure zach's right i'm sure there's plenty of le owners that are super into pinball that's why they got the best of the best but sure hey man whatever you got the money spend it but let's get back to rachel's thing uh i think rachel said a lot of great things you know about connecting to people and community. Community is the word. Rachel, I agree. I wouldn't even have met you if it wasn't for this show. Because of this show, we were able to go to District 82 and have just an amazing day with you and met a friend for life, a pinball friend for life. We love you, Rachel. Rachel met my wife and family. I think I told you guys that. It was great. No, it is really cool. My wife really likes her, by the way. My wife, Rachel, not to like my wife has given you a full invitation she says our house is crazy but you are welcome to spend the night anytime you want so rachel if you don't want to i don't blame you no i get excited i i go 15 minutes at a time yeah my house i go outside for a smoke break i don't smoke it's really awkward but can we bring up the tribe list here all right we want to do tribe list well no i just wanted we're talking about community and stuff and and we love all of our listeners all of our people but um these people here on the list are 41 people uh rachel is definitely one of them that um have just been a great part of this community that we're talking about and we we hope to induct another 30 or 40 maybe we'll see how it goes yeah ian i don't trust some of you guys i know you are um so yeah for those 41 people uh very very special people um everyone else who's listening you guys are all very special we we love love love the community all right wrap it up buddy let's start crying over here all right here we go audio number two howdy folks this is doc finley tribe member number 39 in honor of ian and drew's 100th episode i thought i'd bring them a very special guest interview with a man himself the most controversial podcaster in all of pinball chris a canada's pinball podcast so here we go good evening chris May I call you Chris? Kaneda. Really? I can't call you Chris? Kaneda. Oh well, let's just get right into it. How would you describe the Poor Man's Pinball podcast? A colossal waste of time. Why do you say that? Because it's boring. It's just boring. But Ian and Drew have one of the fastest growing podcasts in all of Milwaukee. What would you tell potential listeners? You don't need to get on this hype train at all. It's not a real thing. What don't you like about it? I mean, they have 100 episodes. It's the same shit. It's same shit, different day. Oh, well, you're a very successful marketing professional. Who is the poor man's target audience? Who's it for? For those morons out there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me cut you off right there. I mean, come on. What's better than pouring a cold one and sitting down on a Monday night and listening to the podcast? What could be more fun? It's more fun watching idiots spend $3,000 on a Kiss topper. It's more fun watching idiots spend $20,000 on a Pirates of the Caribbean Ellie. You have a strange sense of fun there, Chris. Let's continue. A few months ago, Ian and Drew moved to a new format and took the show to Twitch. What's your opinion on that? Nobody cares. Nobody on Twitter cares. Nobody at the local bar cares. Nobody at your barbershop cares. Nobody is talking about it. I don't even care. I really don't care. You're in the podcast business. How would you describe Ian and Drew's job? Okay, so these are pretty much entry-level, low-level jobs. This is not going well. Let's talk about something fun coming up this fall. Ian and Drew have said that they will be going to Expo in October for a big tribe party. What do you think the reaction to that will be? We will all make fun of you if you reveal yourself to the world. Okay, well, speaking of the tribe, I know you're not a member, but you're known for knowing all the inside secrets. Can you tell our audience what happens when you're asked to join the tribe? You basically pay $21,500 and you're fucked. I thought Orbital Albert said you were a kinder, nicer Kaneda. Fuck that. Okay, okay. Let's drop the hype. Let's drop the showmanship. and let's get personal about ian and drew from the heart now chris from the heart tell me what you think about it he is one of the smartest most articulate incredible people i've ever talked to and i've talked to people who run billion dollar companies wow that that's very nice and what about drew from the heart now chris he's incredible he's a fucking genius these guys have their shit together okay those were very kind remarks but i think we better wrap this up soon i fucking agree just to get to know you a little better as a doctor of psychology i have to ask you what keeps kaneda up at night what's that thought or concern running through your head before you go to sleep each night you know i don't know what it means to be a man anymore okay well i was thinking more pinball but okay and finally i always let my guests ask one question to our listeners. What's that one burning question you want to ask our listeners? Am I just the biggest dick in this hobby? Well, I think we all know the answer to that. Thank you for coming on the podcast tonight. What a stupid decision that was. Thank you, Kaneda, and congratulations, Ian and Drew, on your 100th episode. Wow, there we go, guys. Oh, my God. Doc, that was so well done, and Kaneda, thank you so much for... That took more editing than what I did in the first episode of the Poor Man Football Podcast That was very good though Doc Guys as always we didn listen to any of these ahead of time so like you saw the red face and all this i yeah very well done uh rachel doc you guys well done man you guys have definitely cemented your spots in the tribe and um i think that's going to go over so well and that's going to translate real well to the audio too so so i'm so excited very nice and to just think that it's just all so magical i dropped everything i dropped my beer hold on i'll be right back yeah doc uh uh sent me a message like i don't know a couple weeks ago and he said uh is it okay if i do this interview with kaneda and i said yeah that would be great so uh i that that just turned out so well it's just and everyone in chat was just loving it so doc doc you have a knack for this you and i are gonna have to uh collaborate on some more stuff because that's very cool and then rachel and tim doing their tribe uh multiball i mean you guys you guys have all kinds of talent we just we just sit here and drink and do our shit but you guys have some real talent so that's that's awesome um once he gets back we have uh we have a couple of videos Because Ian's looking for towels because he spilled half a beer on his floor. Oh, my God. This truly is the sloppiest show on the Internet. Kaz, yes, I was going to reach out to Kaneda to actually have him do something for us. But, yeah, Bubba, his beloved dog, died. And anyone who has pets, they know. So, yeah, I'm at a loss for words because I don't know what I'd do when my dogs pass. So, anyways, heart goes out to you, Chris, you and Brenda. Sorry about Bubba. It's always tough losing a family member. So, to you guys. Jaeger, at least he didn't spill on the computer. He saved it. He went this way. The whole beer fell on the floor. It spilled. The reaction time was none. I'm pretty sure I just held a full beer bottle upside down. And this is why I didn't take a gummy today. Because I don't know if you guys... Hey, let's just talk about this for a second. Because it's the sloppiest show on the internet who gives a shit. But I don't know if you guys noticed. It's going to smell so bad tomorrow. Two weeks ago when we were here, I took the gummy. and I love doing gummies but you know I usually do them like at my house when I'm just relaxing whatever and it's not relaxing I don't know if you guys noticed the last five or eight minutes of that podcast but it was oh man I was just I was just like shutting down like couldn't talk couldn't think uh just like I was a real idiot more so than usual uh so yeah today I was like all this not happening but now we got ian here that was embarrassing all right we got videos we got videos so we got two videos to share with you guys uh from some uh fellow media members we appreciate all you guys and we're gonna try to get that mike williams uh one up after that so i got it on here we'll be able to the first one uh is from our pals over at the loser kid podcast josh and scott all right man thanks very nice yeah you know he said again the community how impressed he is with us thanks thanks uh i'm impressed too man billy yj i've seen you worse on the podcast true you mean worse than last week or worse in general just in general but thank you very much loser kid uh for very nice words very nice words thank you so much um and the next one we have is from our sponsor one of the people we take most seriously are we able to hear the audio on this one or no yeah they everyone can hear the audio us we aren't going to hear the audio i know i was trying to figure out how we could do it but it's just not going to work right now so we're going to play it it's there's no audio on our end for these these videos by the way guys so we listen to the loser kids um but unfortunately yeah i i don't know how to get audio to play so here you go zach can you read lips nope Lino says, I'll transcribe.

Yeah, it's like a regular show. Zach, he was right again. It's a regular show, but... Yeah, it's what we do now. Fuck it all, I think you called it. I was thinking about aliens today. I was like, man, I want to have another alien conversation. I just was thinking. I had a thought in my head. Oh, my God. This is the gum he's talking, but no. This is what I was thinking about today. What if aliens aren't older than us, but they just had an easier path to where they are, and evolution was a little bit more comfortable? You keep fleshing that out. I got a better idea on the screen here. Love you both. Heart. Thanks, guys. We heart you too. Tony Scoot says, let's get tribe shirts made just for Expo. We can look like a crazy family at a picnic. I love that. What if we just got shirts, and on the back there was just a giant butthole? That's it. Just the airless is almost stupid. That's it. Just a plain shirt, and it just has a giant butthole on the back. I just don't know how people think that was a crater or a brown star. Ah, just put the brown star. Brown star. There you go. Just a simple brown star. Our newest shirt idea. Oh, my God. We're about to swing. Are you there? Do you know how many of those we would sell? I am not kidding. Just a brown star. Nice brown star. And, yeah, they'll just say, poor man's pinball, and I'll be a brown star. And then when people ask, they won't know right away, and they'll say, why do you have a brown star on your back? And you're like, we win. Cavalier, I'd wear it. Yeah. We could talk about brown stars all day. And Tony Scoot says brown eye. Yeah, we could do either a brown. We could do two. We could do a brown eye and a brown star. And that's it. Just a picture. It'll be, what was that game? That game, Pictionary, right? Yeah, it'd be just like that. It'd be like brown eye, brown star. Yes. Perfect. Oh, I love it. Oh, man. Oh, man. I think I have a burst of blood vessel in my head. Oh, my God. That's funny. Stephen Silver says Auburn asterisk. You know, just something real nice and classy. Oh, totally classy. Jeremy would wear it. I would wear it. Why not? Let's do it. All right. We're calling. Is Jeff still on here? I think Jeff left. Jeff has made so many of these brown star shirts. He's going to sell a fortune. We're making everyone rich. Yep. Oh, that's great. It doesn't cost us anything. We should submit all sorts of dumb shit. Why are we not flushing this stuff out? All right. I'll write it down. I got my help pad here. Oh, I got to swiffer my whole basement. Everything. So gross. So what else is going on? Sorry, I'm writing down brown star shirts. Brown star shirts. It's going crazy here. All right. Well, what did you learn today, Drew? I learned that our tribe members have no fashion sense. Along with me. I have fashion. Why would you say that? Because they're going to wear shirts with brown stars on them.
