beer and Bloated liver we say this or that yeah it's going to be good you it [Music] straight oh Greg straight down the middle whenever people think it's straight done them and a lot of them uh they probably think of like two wonderful awesome representatives for the entire industry one being handsome two being handsome one being handsome one being clever yeah but I think they also think of things like reviews of course and beat pluses they think of Greg's mom think of a lot of things I think great I bet you uh but uh no they think of this or that this or that people have been wanting it this or that and it's one of my favorit for for quite some time I a man of the people we have not done one this year cuz you refused to do that well plus because they're really hard wait just wait I I've seen the ones you have not seen any of these I've seen some of the ones that people have submitted they're going to stump your and I I taunted people we used to get one or two on my social media I put it out there I said look we're bringing this or that back and we need some submissions and I told people try to stump us so uh they did this used to be a staple in pinball households I remember people talking about road trips and things and they would start playing this or that people still play it they just uh they they call it something different that's all they don't need to be calling anything different call what it is let's start out with this or that we're going to jump right into it for those of you who are unfamiliar of what what this segment is on our channel it's where essentially we bring up two scenarios this scenario or that scenario and we just choose which one we'd go with and why yeah that's it pretty simple you can use it for pinball machines you can use it for food there's lot go sex positions you can use it for anything there's a lot of thought missionary doggy St where you going to go where you going to go I'm not answer it you well I will I'm fine with it it always depends on the M I'm a classic guy I'm a classic missionary I'm fine with that with socks yeah you're it's a quick no no socks I'm no socks kind of guy this or that socks or no socks during sex a sock man no no socks no socks I'm I'm free willing and we're back here God damn this or that man all right uh submission we got to thank Randall uh how do you pronounce that yeah we're going back to pinball okay you said submission I I'm the submissive Nicole's just a mean old thing both of our wives are we're definitely we're definitely not the dominant ones what color is your gag ball how do you pronounce that last name drula drula it sounds like drula drula is the only Randall uh thank you so much for submitting this or that we'll start it off maybe this will be EAS maybe he said this are that Godzilla premium or Jaws premium Godzilla premium oh you're not even thinking twice no it's one of the greatest games in the world you can't argue uh yeah absolutely no it's got a ton going on and maybe jws would get there but we if it's not there now no it might the buildings bridge Mecca Godzilla like it's just it's a it's a phenomenal game he said fine guys what about stranger things pro or Jurassic Park Pro oh that's tough because I prefer premiums on both and I don't think I could own a pro of either that's me being bougie like I could own a pro either and it'd be better than nothing but those are both premium games if I'm going to talk about if I'm going to strip it down I'm going to take a step back from the theme because I would just pick Jurassic Park all day long but if I'm going to pick if I'm going to take it in of what I enjoy yeah probably the most I'm going to go stranger things I think you're wrong I know that sounds weird yeah I think you're wrong cuz I think Jurassic Park fundamentally is the better game it is so if I'm if I'm Los but from an enjoyability standpoint I still just love the code I love the structure of what stranger things is I still like those shots look it's it's it would never leave my collection I think the tougher question I don't even know if I can answer stranger things Premium versus Jurassic Park premium for for me for you no but I would go D theart premium in that aspect I don't know if I could I would there I don't know if I could no I would now see that's weird like throwing it prowise I think I go stranger things pro I'm going Jurassic Park Split Decision What about Brian Cosner the cause uh he said how about this jjp's new Elton John okay the Platinum Edition so the Le formally plus it'll give you $500 okay so you can have an Elton John arguably one of the greatest games in the last 10 years and $500 or a Jaws Pro and a John Wick Pro so you get two games Jo Pro John Wick BR you know I'm a two for like it would have to be two shitty games and Elton John's phenomenal Elton John is a great game and it's beautiful it like listen it beats both those games hands down in Beauty in Beauty and it a better game potentially potentially potentially a better game but if I'm going to pick and I want two games cuz I still like John Wick quite a bit and I still like jels quite a bit they're they're both good games still need some code advancement but they're good game so to have two games in my game room versus just the one Elton John now again I'm just doing it because it's two for one the tricky part for me is I'm not a pro buyer I can see that I can see your AR I feel like but I feel like I get enough with the Platinum Edition and Elton John I don't feel like I have to go to the CE jws and John Wick I'm I'm oh you yes you go well got to go do have to go up but I'm just saying for a two for one I would rather have two different games I can bounce between instead of one for me I'm going now John I can see that because I think AR that's the sticking point there the pros are the sticking point for me yeah I think an argument can be made there easily because it's a great game Simon Riley uh said hi Simon Let's uh let's pit some spooky against themselves oh we know you guys love Scooby-Doo mhm but there's a new game called Looney Tunes I take Looney Tunes over Scooby wow just like that just like that oh I I listen I sco Scooby I I like the look of Scooby better and I love Scooby-Doo a 10 a million times better than so what you because if I'm going to look at enjoyability and playing it oh I think Looney Tunes shoots better and I I like I love the code on on Scooby but because it it's just still a little mundane I like the Looney Tunes aspect a little bit better in that aspect Simon that's a good one that is a good one but I'm just going there just because the the the shot difference and everything you have going on in Looney Tunes they're pretty even for me they're honestly pretty even it's tough that that's a that's a better one right there that's a that's a good one Simon because that does because I mean you're pitting shooting again Scooby's a good code but it still doesn't pull you in sometimes at where some people it does Scooby's 10 times better to me but part of me is thinking like would I go Looney Tunes or Texas Chainsaw Massacre oh I'd go Texas if we're talking about layout yeah same but I mean I'd go with I'd go with the Texas Chainsaw Massac just because I prefer that theme over that better you like the horror aspect like the horror aspect but I would still pick Looney Tunes I think over Scooby to have in a play now again I'm afraid Looney Tunes for me would have the dialed in effect to where it's like I just don't care about Looney Tunes so I'm not saying it would stick around that's what hard for me yeah it that's what I'm saying this is a tough one scoy I really like this yes to whereas if you put Scooby-Doo in Looney tun's cabinet boom exactly that's the answer boom give me that boom but I like all the stuff that's in do too I do just scale it down I'm going to take Scooby-Doo just because I mhm I can see though I don't play my games more than I play my games so is that weird no I know what you're saying you're visually means a little bit more I understand I understand that yeah yep Simon also said what about beatles gold or Foo Fighters premium what a weird what a weird thing there Ah that's a tough one you know what I I want both of them I like both of them I would probably go be gold really I kind of think so it it it changes stuff up and for whatever reason uh you know I think I think Jack danger did a phenomenal job on Foo Fighters that has got shots in that You' never seened packed but something about that packed might hinder it Beatles I I I like the I like the theme better I like the well my thing with food F my only problem with Foo Fighters every time I step up there it's fun oh music's phenomenal like I said it shoots great but for some reason everybody I talk to that owns it it's kind of like an Adams Family type thing really or a Star Trek like they kind of get like uh my feel love it I just added a Foo Fighters Ellie to my lineup I know I know it's the first time I've added that game to my lineup even at announ or release I didn't add it to my I've never added it to my lineup I added it to my lineup but do you see what I'm saying to where's beetles it's more the score it's I don't know it's different I would probably keep Beatles longer that's what I'm saying yeah that's where I'm going just because of that style of game yeah that's what I'm saying because food fighter shoots like I said it shoots phenomenal code is good everything is good about it but against a theme thing I like Foo Fighters I don't like beetles that much I like Foo Fighters more than be like Beatles music but it's just something about like I love the look of Beatles gold I just I love like and I like the way that game plays like I know I guess I have to say Foo Fighters right now because I own a Foo Fighters and I don't own a Beatles ah true there you go I don't own either but oh you always know how to pronounce the name I always mess it up oh singz singz singz think s yeah richo jeno yeah jeno he mess us what would you guys do which one the yeah which one and the only reason we're saying it like that is because I think even he does an impersonation of himself I I hope not cuz I love it it brings the smile on my face every time I hear him he said Godzilla Pro Plus John Wick Pro okay here we go okay that's the same scenario Godzilla Pro John Wick Pro or any Stern Elli if you're choosing oh that's tough no no I still go to it's still Godzilla oh man and I'm again I'm still liking John winie Stern L yes like you know I don't put CL like but you can go back in the catalog to get anything no I still couldn't Star Trek Ellie it means no none of mean Godzilla Ellie none of mean that much to me I'm no Ellie ever means that much to me stranger things Ellie nope never man those are beautiful all great games though and beautiful but still two G man I just can't not get around two games I go back to my days when I was broke as [ __ ] and could only like have a couple games and like I think that that's where my mindset still stays is like I still just like two games to play Bounce out out man well it's just bouncing back and forth to be able to play two games versus one in your house plus like Pro is prestigious like everybody I don't know why people in our community like oh the pros at the end of the day like dude if you have a pro pinball machine holy [ __ ] you're buying a $7,000 pinb this I heard somebody recently like knock that like only afford a pro and I'm like my God if I see a lineup of like 10 sterm Pros I'm like that's a badass collection if I just saw three St Pros you're doing pretty damn well for yourself like you're you're in the hob so don't get us wrong there man I um yeah give me any Stern Le not not now I don't know how he's saying it if I get to pick the stern La give me the stern LA but if somebody else has to pick the stern La then I'll go to Pros so I don't want them giving me WrestleMania or something that's what they do to I know they would our leftover WrestleMania but yeah yeah give me give me the with uh you're going Pros PR Dan Donell he's got a tough one here Dan you son of a [ __ ] this one's tough Pulp Fiction Laie and the big Labowski oh arguably the two coolest pinball machines ever made pure coolness mhm or Bond 60th and attack from Mars Le oh so dirty he did US dirty on that one Bon 60th and attack for Mars Ellie or Pulp Fiction Ellie and Labowski I'm trying to think how I'm going to break this down for me Labowski I'd rather have a pulp than a Labowski 100% okay I'd rather have pulp than uh either of those games than Bond or AFM yeah see the tough part for me so I'd rather have an attack from marzelli over a bond 60th for me and I'd maybe rather have bon 60th and attack for Mars over well I don't know about Bon 60th just because it's still Bon I love the way it shoots but lowski is so cool yeah like that's the only bad I think I would go PP B and Lebowski but the attack from Mars Le is what really and I love Bon 60th again yeah I do too but still but I don't think it's still it's beatles-esque to me yeah like I love it mhm but it falls random Beatles for me I'd rather have bon 60th maybe than Labowski for me that's what I'm saying like the only reason Labowski is so much cooler from a a theme in your collection standpoint I'm going I'm going attack for Mars and bond 60th because attack's getting harder and harder to get an and it's pretty amazing and Pulp Le you can still get those Labowski you can still get those I think I'm going have to go pulp and Labowski are you yeah there I can't argue that that was a hard one we've been split on every one of these we have let's see if we uh join up here with Jay urania Ur urania get that checked out urania um Pulp Fiction or Labyrinth oh I'm a go pul oh Greg I'm going go pulp oh Greg that's so mean I love why would they do that can't wait to talk about Labyrinth more it's Labyrinth for me yeah it is just because it is fully packed and I like the uh I like the theme I love the theme of Pulp Fiction but Labyrinth is something I I like Pulp better I hate that do why don't you I want these people to to see this funky ass dog you got how old's this dog now it's probably only like 2 years old it just looks so old look I hate this dog I hate this stuff can you even get your tongue out yeah what if it bit me in the face what do you mean get it out it stays out get it that dog is high trying to lick you around trying to lick somebody you need to get that tightened up there bu you need to get Nip Tuck on that thing do oh I think he's sweet it flaps I can't do that so I'm going Labyrinth got to go Labyrinth it's it's one that I I'm I own both so I don't I mean super cool game yeah Labyrinth got to be Labyrinth oh our buddy Dennis Cal chimed in and Dennis is a fan of this or that he doesn't really watch anything else we do but he's like this or that I can tolerate this or that oh what an [ __ ] so he's being funny here Godzilla premium or barbecue Challenge and Galactic tank force Ellie oh yeah he's he's really wanting to put that two is better than one thing to he knows knows he knows how to get you so Godzilla premium marbly the greatest game ever I'm still going Godzilla because it is so phenomenal barbecue challenge I have not played it just for the record but it's still just a theme that means absolutely nothing to me now you love Galactic tank force I do really like Galactic I haven't got a lot of time on it either but it is a cool game so Galactic tank force does make it a little I won't say difficult cuz it's still barbecue challenge I don't want my house barbecue challenge is almost I hate to be like this but that might as well name be on there like it it's literally a zero for me on any of it I it does nothing for me if anything is taking up space it's one of those games for me that's what I'm saying you're actually even if it shot really good and it was actually a phenomenal game which it might be I just I still couldn't it's gtf versus whatever else you're putting up against it so Ash our buddy Ash s in the past thank you Ash Elton John platinum or Jaws premium Now now that's kind of tough that's kind of tough that's ridiculous that's tough cuz Elton John is so good and it's so pretty and his shoes it's amazing it's addictive listen to me you want me to tell you what like so here jels hands down theme yes like I'm not a big Elton fan I like Elton big sucks go John I know are we going to agree again are we going to agree again are we going to here's okay are we going to agree again no here's what we got to do though jaw's premium you're you're still it's jaw's premum plus $2,000 orse that's what it is that is legit what it is so Oh I thought you might I got $2,000 you are Premium Plus $2,000 or Elton John oh one's 12,000 one's 9600 I mean yeah but I mean I'm not are they just be they're just being given to us that's why we get the $2,000 no I guess we'd be buying them yeah I mean you're getting a yeah man I'd probably go Premium Plus $2,000 see now if it was just Elton versus the okay let's make it this Elton Elton uh Elton Platinum yeah or JW's Le Elton pum what is wrong with me I think I think I'm going jaw's Le really it's like I talked about I think review came out yet there still something just a little Miss on Jaws for me like I I think it's a great game but there's still something that's a little bit of a miss and I don't argue with you but there's there's something for me I think there is something wrong with me and me as a collector I don't know why I want I I play elen John Moore I know I play elen John Moore I'm going jaw's Le it's not a bad I mean it's a you're not going it's the pedigree it's the theme it's The Insider connected it's I do love Insider don't get me started on Insider connected cuz I love Insider connected more yeah especially as a router we'll get on that some other point Adam streer come in one of our buddies Adam streer he said Labyrinth and Jaws premium I love those two or Elton John and John Wick Pro I'll take the Labyrinth and Jaws for me labyrinths can be hard for me to beat and then you get a Keith that one and Jaws Elon John's Great John Wick have quite enough time on to know and we don't it's early in the code so so that's the only thing that's holding me back because currently I love John Wick I think it's good but I think it's like you said because there is a lot of missing components right now and I see where it's going that's why I put an Ellie in my collection of John Wick but it's it's 8 something it it need some room if if it was a little further along in code I would 100% go Elton in that but I guess I might go elabor with you okay well he's he's going to put it on his thing fine yall want to make that argument how about this one Venom premium or John Wick premium if you if you really want to say you need more room for for uh John I so listen I'm going to go Venom you love Venom but I like Venom a lot and that Pro is cool and like you said like like because I like the way that John Wick shoots I I like the code so far but Venom is so much further along with everything that you you're doing especially with Insider connected stuff like I currently have to pick that I I think John Wick will surpass that you're a big I like a lot yeah give me John Wick even right now really even right now I think most people are going to agree with you it just it it's my type of game yeah it's my type of theme more so than Venom it's just oh I definitely like John Wick theme probably better really comic book I just love K Reeves yeah I know too a lot I do too okay Mandalorian topper or Foo Fighters topper they're both $2,000 Toppers I would have go Mandalorian I think that's a cool topper me too it's holographic I mean it's something different uh Foo Fighters is definitely cool I got one for my game but black Knight's n that's would you do Black Knight or Mandalorian uh or Mandalorian mhm which yeah now see that look you don't get them sprung upon you like that every on Toppers on them Toppers see it's Black Knight I think so too that's where I would be y That's why I wanted to throw that upon you it's a feather I like it that I like it articulating it's a feather elen John and Toy Story oh you can have both those interesting or Godfather and Wonka oh oh wonka wonka messes me up I like Wonka I like my Wonka and people who got have Godfather love it Wonka Wonka has been like my favorite jjp so by default but then again elton's good you know what story I still like last week I was playing Toy Story and I [ __ ] you not Greg these people think I'm a shill I still have a couple to sell so you can continue thinking that's fine but I own a Toy Story C and I was playing it m and I said I had to remind my like do I do I like this more than Wonka now I really love Toy Story CE it's so good Josh the guy that I had sold my toy store too had it up for sale a few months ago people are I literally thought about buying it back just I miss it was those B peep Loops B peep Loops I still like it over here Shing them B PE I know I I Shield Wonka too I guess when I got excited about it I can't make videos and be happy about a game then I learned something yeah and I had that game for months dude yeah [ __ ] you most things don't stay in my house like most don't dude Toy Story is good like if you think Toy Story is bad you're wrong I like it a lot are wrong it's is a great great game it's not incredibly deep that like that's the only reason I play people argue but they don't get to the Finish Line no it is tough It's not that is like um it's not easy people say that all the time it's like that's like me saying a marathon I could run a marathon it's like [ __ ] why don't you R I don't I don't think it's an easy game cuz I never got to did I get to fireworks I got to fireworks once yeah so that's the that's first and then you got to go back do it again now granted I think the second time around should be totally different that's a different argument I agree different AR now if it did that I wouldn't have let it go at all I've only got there like three or four times but I love I love the way it shoots Duke Kaboom never get I like the rules the rules are Fant I'm not going to the Toy Story surpassed Toy Story went into this group of uh games that at this point I just don't give a [ __ ] what people think I like what like and Hobbit's there too oh I still I don't care people hated Hobbit you you got me on The Hobbit bandwagon stranger things is there I got to the point with stranger things people [ __ ] on me so much and said that that game's crap so much I was like guess what I could care less because I love it a buddy of mine down in Nashville Jason just got a hobbit and was like I bought it because of you basically it's like I wanted this game forever but your review like sold me on Hobbit yeah all right so yeah for that I'm going I think I'm going Elon John Toy Story I think I would too I love both of those games I love both of those games um I do miss Toy Story I might buy one of those toy stories for the uh padr gaming they're doing a remake fun house that creepy little bastard that uh that you said you don't know if they ever come in this house uh the nightmare Edition will cuz I'm already prepared to have nightmares and I think the night I think I think preing myself for that is just a lot less scary than him just being in a fun house well so the street are saying funh house classic and 2500 bucks or the fun house La no the betti the midnight I like it it's beautiful beautiful Brian Allen artwork Brian did a phenomenal job beautiful we talked about this before like Brian artwork is so beautiful I like it sitting up but I don't know if I wanton it in games this is the first one that he did that I'm like this makes sense this I love it I think it's phenomenal looking all right uh also said which one would you rather see Ved or remade a Metallica premium with an LCD screen okay or a Ghostbusters premium with still the DMD oh cuz he knew that we were going to lean Ghostbusters so he kept DM cuz I thought when he was going to say that LCD in that I was and then you yeah you know what Metallica is a phenomenal game if they're just a re if they're just a vault I'm still going Ghostbusters cuz I like that game better the LCD is not going to sway me from the love I have for Ghostbusters I think I'm going to stick with you on that it's tough though I still think they should make an LCD go cuz I love Metallica I love Metallica of the band I love Metallica of the game and adding that LCD and be able to see and what they do with that if R me away yes I I'll buy one I'm a th% going to buy one um but I just man there's a special place in my heart with Ghostbusters this one he said uh what would you rather see made Harry Potter or Goonies Harry Potter oh yeah probably Harry Potter still Goonies for me but um both I think secretly I would rather have Goonies because I don't know if you can ever live up to the hype of Harry Pot I think it's going to be tough and goon is just something that's still like more nostalgic for me it's yeah it's because it's I love Harry Potter but man it's our childhood it's still yeah it it pulls it the heart string that's a deep one that I can't like necessarily pull my my biasness from yeah I get that one um but Harry Potter's the bigger the bigger pull yeah absolutely what about um joury or Bob Marley which one would you rather see made to pen for me joury I love Journey I'm like classic rock guy more a r guy uh The Muppet Show or the Matrix Matrix for me both cuz I'm fan of both I know you love Muppets I'm not a big Muppet fan I'm a bigger Muppet fan than I am a matrix fan but I think Matrix fits pinball better than Muppet so uh so I'll go Matrix I'm going Matrix Matrix Jesus what what they making macaroni and cheese remember that one time split the cabinet I still talk about that yes is it still broken no I mean I glued it back together very well ni I me I'm a pretty crafty person you are good crafty death save streaming what's going on thanks for the continued support as well this or that what's next Pokemon or X-Men 97 they want us to tell them what's next don't know I I don't know um between those two if I had to guess I would guess that you'll see an X-Men 97 if that's true uh I guess you would see that before Pokemon if that's true yeah be my guess I have no idea John BR said I want to hear from Greg here uh coin drop versus card swipe oh coin drop yeah coin swipe or card swipe no like oh look at you why you going to get mad I got a buddy that that do card like listen a lot of people don't understand like they don't understand it like that that you got to swipe your card like publicly somehow ignorant to that dude I'm getting to the point where I'm an old man where I believe in all that stuff with people like don't get rid of cash like the man's trying to yeah and then not only that though but then they take a percentage Yeah your $100 stays $100 when it's a bill it goes through 3.5% every time these Banks just get huge and your dollar DS 100% coin drop but if you really want the in Bill validator I know still coin drop but Bill validator I get the card swipe but I'm as a business owner small business owner I am I am anti that stuff all day long carbon versus balls I don't know if I know the difference I'm going to be honest I don't I just like the shiny balls from Titan competition yeah I like shiny balls don't even don't even sponsor the show one of them is not I don't know I like the shiny ones myar in the shooter lanane to myar up or plastic shooter Lane protector so I ordered a couple of plastic shooter Lane protectors oh really I actually ordered one so somebody had them forever ago cuz when I had Guardians back that far Chuck W's a big advocate for the I had the plastic and I liked it a lot okay uh just cuz obviously you did have that it can stand up to the the be of the ball more than protection but myar still does a great job it's good enough if you just for what it is so my only thing is is the ones that I'm getting um I apologize I can't remember the guy's name but I don't want to shout out yet until I get one and test it okay um but he said that you know use some real thin double-sided tape to hold it cuz my only thing is is like flaps up a little no just the movement would eventually I mean I wouldn't think that it would have enough friction but that's my only you get dirt under there and it's hard to get up and it looks bad yeah it's still protect but yeah I I personally right now I think that the hard shellz like I ordered something but I I'll report back to you guys on how it feels but one of my Guardians I love Yeah well so the thing is like myar is obviously a ton cheaper and going to be quick to lay in there you know when you're paying 15 20 bucks or something versus uh 503 you know what's even cheaper I want to change our our uh slogan from myar up to coil down like at this point just on your stering games crank it down to 160 or 176 whatever but no no actually you need it's still yeah it still eats into their bad yep still eats in their bad for most homeowners nope even with some home owners no it's and I'm not saying that still needs to be done oh 100% yes if I had to choose between the two turn it down sadly I don't take enough time to to Myer up or anything my p i i don't even add mods I got mods I buy mod I just Chris Beni says a Deadpool Pro and $3,000 or a Godzilla premium people are pitting this Godzilla premum because they really want to know if this is like the best game but you're such a Deadpool Pro guy for me it's Godzilla PR just because I mean yeah that's I like it three grand in my pocket though I can buy a Stargate Stargate exactly what I was thinking about man Stargate with that Stargate man you know what like I love Deadpool so much I'm not saying Deadpool is a better game D or Godzilla is a better game okay but throwing three grand in my pocket and having a [ __ ] phenomenal game that's a lot of fun I'm probably going to go Deadpool in 3,000 bucks oh wow okay and last one oh that's clever I'm not even going to say who sent that because they're from the industry they said all right Zach and Greg I know you guys know stuff uh oh he put the phone this or that this is scary the next jjp game or the next Stern game which one you want more that's dirty that's dirty what are you that's a tough one um that's a tough one because that's a that's a tough one that's a tough one um uh that's not that tough I don't know I just don't want to answer it I think it is kind of well for me for me oh no I think I yeah I was thinking for me it's tough maybe we shouldn't say anything more than that I think for me it's going to be a lot tougher than it is for you because yeah yeah believe the fifth I know that was tough maybe this is the first this or that we don't answer I will say it's it's going to be very tough for me not to own pretty much every Stern that comes out cuz I really like them uh but then again but then again and if you want to throw another manufacturer in there don't do it oh another very specific Manu oh no what are you going to do that what are you going to do oh not show Chelsea my bank account for a while I know you will own the next spooky I'm going own the next manufacturers like you know what's so bad about games like some things I guess we know what's coming out some things we have to speculate on yes uh quite a bit but if the speculations and the things are true then I I have to have a major a major [ __ ] collection shakeup like which I don't want to do because I love my games but like I'm going to have to have a major collection shakeup and you know the the rumor of oh my gosh the rumor of Dutch pinball having back was I want to see who the dick was [Laughter] I love it even more I know uh yeah damn and look uh barrels I I don't know what you got cooking so let us know so that we can include you on these on these uh kind of things man thatc I don't know what you got cooking next MMR um Dutch pinball Back to the Future that's my dream theme man oh yeah I'd get M that up pinball Brothers I don't know what they're working on app is coming out but mhm yeah oh that's uh yep just saying I don't want to get in trouble yeah get trouble bum straight down the middle midle you had a fling with a slingshot you're rolling out the out all anything in like but that'd be okay [ __ ] lost all your jobs and everything who gives a [ __ ] I'm telling you I'm going through an existential thing where I'm like life is too short I don't care anymore talk getting them season passes the universal that's what I'm saying I don't I just don't care when I do it's so cheap we got to go down even if we just go say I don't care I care yes but like maybe it's just maybe it's a it's a good feeling of selfworth and self-esteem where I feel like even if something bad happened like uh I lost the ability to do this like I'll still figure it out yeah and if not I 30 years tops is all I've got left oh yeah 30 years too so yeah I there are a couple things I like like food I really like sex hell I like my family and my friends I like pinball MH if I got most of that I'm I'm fine I think I mean I'm wrong just don't care WR I I think I've realized I just can't make everybody happy and I'll never I'll never have enough time to fulfill all of the energy and ambition I have so I've got to I've got to set some boundaries for myself I think that's healthy for you though but see I've always kind of lived like that so now I'm I would have goals of like running an entire country like I just I would but we've brought each other that's the thing is like I've brought you down a little bit but you've brought me up so where I've lived down here so I'm used to where you are yeah but I'm not used like it's really weird sometimes when you pass me up and you show more ambition than I do and I'm like more the dude but then sometimes you say [ __ ] it a little more and I'm saying you pass me up yeah we we we we used to always be like this and now sometimes it does this briefly like why do you care who cares if I didn't have to listen to My Wife and Kids [ __ ] you can fix that too you can fix that that's what I'm saying dude in my mind you can fix anything oh you truly you can figure it out like I'll end up being uh the Paul Rudd character on one of those those uh films where he's just lives on the beach and like sells kayaks like you're not wrong I don't give a [ __ ] I expect it any day like an Adie and a couple beers like whatever that is good damn I think you can find beauty and joy anywhere oh I find beauty and joy anything yeah I do I truly do yeah like I really do you're like a monk yeah Lily's like that my youngest Lily's like that Audrey's not so I don't have a damn kid like that but L ly's very much like look at a tree and be like that's look at a tree yeah leaves blow like I do that I'm like man this is gorgeous like sun shining today got little you got a little hippie kid yeah oh my gosh but I can't I can't do the pot anymore cuz it I I used to back in the day but just makes me anxious now oh yeah I've been watching too much makes me I've been watching too much science programs man I'm telling you be careful the more aware you are the more [ __ ] up your life becomes I tell you that yeah I get night panic panic attacks at night night tears because I existentialism and oh God I can't mine's not to your extent like that but I I ride high anxiety every day every day I go down that rabbit hole every day yeah every day man yeah trip I just live in a world where I'm terrified that you're going to get aestus poison bad [ __ ] always going to happen always bad [ __ ] I don't worry about any of that [ __ ] like that's all I do that's where my anxiety and contention comes from like it's terrible oh okay uh actually I might be a meaner person than you but come across nicer on TV on TV
