TL;DR

Kaneda discusses Pokemon LE value, King Kong's art failure, Turner delays, and boutique manufacturer competition.

Summary

Kaneda hosts a Saturday morning pinball podcast discussing recent game releases (Pokemon, Winchester, Beetlejuice), manufacturing delays at boutique makers, secondary market trends, and community sentiment shifts. Key topics include King Kong's poor art design and value collapse, Pokemon LE pricing predictions, Turner Pinball's slow production pace, and comparisons between Beetlejuice and Evil Dead. Kaneda also addresses industry relationships and online criticism from community members.

    medium confidence · Kaneda citing unnamed Stern insider who expressed enthusiasm

  • Turner's U-Kan Yeti manufacturing timeline makes it uncompetitive against 2026 releases (Sonic, Fallout, Back to the Future, Goonies)

    high confidence · Kaneda's analysis of product release calendar and wait times

  • King Kong's art package is identical across Pro/Premium/LE editions, which was a major business mistake

    high confidence · Kaneda disclosing his own payment for number 50, confirming tiered pricing for numbered units

Notable Quotes

    • Brenda does her Pilates and I talk pinball on Saturday mornings. How's everybody doing? So, launch up. Morning, everybody.
    1:57
    Everybody, I feel like everyone's in a good mood lately. I think the pinball people in general are in a good mood. I think everyone's feeling spring is sprung. We've got all these new pinball machines. We're going to talk about all of them today on this edition of the Saturday Morning Spectacular.
    2:16
    I'm excited to see more people get their games, unbox their games. We're going to talk about Winchester unboxings, Pokemon unboxings, and we're going to answer whatever you guys want to talk about.
    2:29
    I want to thank all the new club members. We've got a bunch of new people this week. It's good. We're still at 700 again. I feel like 700 is the sort of like the the the cat. My goal was always to get to 800. I don't think we're ever going to get there unless... I don't know what else to do. Maybe do more interviews I could get to 800. I don't know.
    2:56
    Talk about Turner Pinball. Get your game in 2028. Kaz, how you doing, brother? Oh, let everybody come through the door. We've got our Pikachu on. I'm very, very excited to get this game. Beetlejuice is coming Monday. Man. Did you get the butter cabinet? It's going to be a very fun game to unbox. Yeah, new interviews. Okay. All right. I got to get set up with the recording of like Zencast or whatever it is, you know, so people can just dial into like a, I guess it's like a Zoom and we can do it easily like that. We'll get it going.
    3:40
    A show with Brenda is always fun. She's a she's a She's got a good point of view on all of this. I think she level sets me very nicely.
    3:50
    Ah Say this is like The sunny weather is just it looks so beautiful and warm out and it's freezing. It is below 32 here
    4:06
    I gotta walk and go get my car later because I left it in town because I was drinking at dinner. It's the beauty of being so close I can walk home and leave my car. I've left my car a bunch of times. I don't want to Tiger Woods it, you know? What a disaster, Tiger, man. It's like, I feel bad for the guy, but like, get help. Like, he needs it. But I really, you know, I always tell people, take an Uber, Remember, don't get in a car and drive when you've had too many. I feel like cops just wait too around these restaurants. You don't want to ruin your life and someone else's life. It's not worth it. It's just not worth it. Take an Uber. Yeah, I don't get why Tiger doesn't have a, just why isn't he like in the back of a Rolls Royce with a professional driver? I would have like a Jet Li Japanese martial artist be my like chauffeur that takes me We're sad boy with the 50 bucks. Let's talk about Pokemon, Ellie, we'll talk about Turner, we'll talk about Winchester. Let's start there. Uh, seems like there's like some adjustments required. I think the the tower that falls over was hitting the house sculpt and people were like having to file down a part. Not good. Not good. You shouldn't have to file down any metal on a brand new game. I think, you know, they'll fix these issues. I mean, this is why you don't want the early builds of any of these new games. You're the guinea pig. And especially, you know, a game like Winchester, which is not being made in high volume, very few are out there, you know, so you don't get a lot of like quality testing happening on these games. Like it goes from like prototype to manufacturing pretty quickly. And, you know, it's a lot in Winchester, man. Every time I see what they're a sad boy, baby, I was waiting for that 50 sake bucks for Brenda.
    6:26
    Just don't talk about tech bros today and we're good. All right. I don't talk about tech. It's like, yeah, OK, we won't do it. We won't go on a tangent of social media destroying the lives of young ones. You know, I think I figured out the key to happiness. It's like tune it all out. Tune it out. Don't engage. I somehow think the world's going to survive. And I think if anything gets us, it's going to be like natural disasters. It's not even going to be what we think. You know what I'm saying? Like, just like an asteroid. It's going to hit the earth one day, Armageddon style. And we're going to be like, well, you know, there goes my shooter lane. You know what I'm saying? Like, when we see that asteroid coming, we're going to be like, man, maybe I shouldn't have tried to keep my shooter lane clean all those years. Like, no one's going to care. I think the first thing I learned to be when you become like in a new pinhead is like the OCD nature of like how's the shooter lane where? Remember when that was like the indication of a game's condition? Shooter lane. What's the shooter lane where like?
    7:29
    Stupidest thing ever. Fizzy 100% man. The world is what you make of it. It's what you put in between. So, all right, let's do this. Let's have you guys dictate the topics today. I could go around the horn, we could talk about everything, but in the chat or on Facebook right now, let me know what you guys want to discuss in the world of pinball. There's a lot going on, a lot of news. Fallout is going to be epic, I hear. I've heard from someone at Stern that's seen Fallout and they're like, dude, dude, you You know, like if you I keep hearing Transformers and Fallout from I'm not going to name names, but from someone very notable over there. And they're just like, we are very, very excited about what's coming. So I'm excited because, you know, look, I I think it's so nice that Stern every four months drops a banger and we want Stern to drop bangers. Nobody wants Stern to drop like these mediocre games. Yeah, I made fun of the Merlin's Arcade Edition selling out. Turner posted that and then won't release how many numbers. Look, for some reason, you know, I took down the post because I was like, you know what? I don't need to, like, be negative. Chris is a good guy. He's you know, he wants to celebrate his moment. But I will say. There's a lot of fake success in pinball where like the numbers aren't good and then you promote it as being good and you're like sold out but you didn't make many you barely made any and and the number is embarrassing that's why you won't release the number like that you know what I'm saying so it's like it's like when I asked Jerry how many total What kind of little multi morphics have you made to date? He won't say and it's like sad that you can't even say. So, you know what's funny about Predator too? It's like, have you seen these guys? Like five days left, four days left, three days left, two days left. Nobody wants your Predator guys. Nobody wants this 12 to $14,000 Predator. It's just who cares about that game? I think Elwin's gonna come back with a banger and I think he's really like gonna be angry because Kong was like, Kong was a bust and Elwin's not used to that. I think Elwin and Yeti, I think they're gonna, I think Jeremy and Keith are gonna come back with something special.
    10:12
    Charles said, when you get your Pokemon LD? So I am looking. So here's the thing. I'm very, very, very excited to get Pokemon number 50.
    10:29
    It will be shipped this week. And the moment there's like decent weather, I'm going to set up the delivery with automated and Guns and Roses will go into Storage at Automated and I will set up Pokemon.
    10:48
    Saw a used Kongo Lee with Topper for 9000. Yeah, man, they're going to keep going down more and more.
    10:53
    Predator is actually pretty fun. It's a worthwhile game, but there's so much competition right now. Perry said, Yeah, look, everyone I know who has a Predator is enjoying it. It's just. I just.
    11:07
    Really don't want to play Predator with no Arnold. It's just the way I feel about the game. I don't know how. Yeah, I would I would absolutely play one on location, but I just don't care about an Arnold list predator. How much do you think Pokemon L.A. will be worth in two years? You think it'll be worth more than a Jurassic Park L.A.? 100 percent. Come on. That's not even like Jurassic Park L.A.
    11:30
    lost all its value because they made two editions of the L.A. Pokemon is a much greater property than Jurassic Park. And the other thing is this, gang. Jurassic Park doesn't have the assets. It's a great game. It's fun. But it doesn't have the assets. Why bother storing GNR? Will you ever pull it back out? So the reason I'm storing it for now, a few reasons. I won't get much for it.
    12:04
    So I don't think it's you know what I'm saying? Like, I think I would get like nine grand for GNRC. And in my honest opinion, it's I don't I don't want to sell it for that. And I think it's worth more than that. I also.
    12:21
    I think years from now, you know, Guns N' Roses iconic like that game is. You know, there will be a time when you won't be able to easily find CEs available, but I also, I don't know, my whole rationale too is I might one day if I open up a spot or like a, like an Izakaya or a pinball barcade spot, you know, I'll throw it in there. It's like a cool game to have in a spot on location.
    12:48
    Um, so that's why I'm just holding onto it and I don't need the money. So it is what it is. Like I'm, I'm very, um, I'm very content with my one to two pins in this house sort of approach to everything. And I'm going to keep the garage is ready for a game as well.
    13:07
    You have the movie code and change everything. Well, look, I mean, the thing about that is, you know, it's not official code. I don't even think you can, can you do insider connected if you've got the hacked up Jurassic Park code? I just, I don't know, there's something about not playing the game the way the company made it that's weird to me. It's sad that I had to do it, but when you upgrade King and Back Alley creation mods and moving by playing attack mode, it's awesome, and the game Stern should have been really made. Yeah, look, I think people are going to add King Kong clips to King Kong. All of these games are very long.
    13:50
    And I just You know, look, I think the There's a certain few games recently that have just come and gone from the zeitgeist of pinball and I mean Do you don't hear anybody talk about the Walking Dead remastered? Like nobody. I don't even think they sold all the LDS. I don't hear anybody talk about it I don't even know if the code is still got the pending approval on it
    14:16
    You don't hear people talk about that. People definitely talk more about King Kong. But, you know, Kong is, it's a lead weight if you bought it new for $13. If you bought it new for $9,500, you're not happy. You're just, I mean, it's kind of sad, but you can now get an LE for the price of a premium. And they all look the same. The armor's not exciting on the LE. It's a boring game. That's all I can say about this game. Like, aesthetically, it's a boring game, in my honest opinion. It's just, it's, it literally is one of the, I think one of the most ill conceived art packages Stern has done. It's just so jarring on the eyes when you stand in front of Kong. Look, you know, Tolbert, that's the issue with Kong, man. It's like great code, great shooter. But like hideous looking for a lot of people. And like, look, if if if that game looked like iconic Kong movie poster, New York City, like throwback retro vibe, Kong would have been one of the most talked about, bolted to the floor Ellie Stern has ever done. You know, I'm saying like people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on original King Kong movie posters. The fact that they didn't make the game look like that was just a huge mistake.
    15:43
    Kaneda doesn't play pinball. How many games have you put on it? On King Kong, I've put, I don't know, maybe 20.
    15:52
    I haven't played, look, but I'm not, I'm not here telling you that Kong doesn't play well. I'm not here telling you that Kong doesn't have good code. I'm here telling you that Kong looks like a unicorn vomited all over the playfield. That's why people don't want to buy it, bro. No one's saying Kong doesn't flip well, but it looks like a unicorn vomited over the playfield. And that's why people don't love the look of the game.
    16:23
    If that's all you care about, you should be an art collector. I mean, bro, bro. So Tolbert, answer me why a King Kong LE is now like an $8,000 game. Like literally. With Topper, you're looking at like $9,000 for it. 8,000 dollar game bro. Why? Why is it lost 5,000 dollars if it's so good? So and you just told her to answer me that. Why is that? Why has the L. E. Lost 5,000 dollars if it's such a good game? I mean that's it. That's it. Pokemon owners are not going to lose a penny. Inflated market? That's not why. It's not why at all. People are literally getting five to ten thousand dollars over for their Pokemon LE spot.
    17:19
    The probe plays better on Kong? Well, I um, Pokemon will lose tons. No, no, you guys I just don't understand Pokemon at all. It's, it, Pokemon's gonna go up in value. I'm telling you right now, Pokemon LE owners are not gonna sell, it's a beautiful game, the LE package is awesome, it looks incredible. And Stern is gonna just like code this thing to be like one of the best coded games they've ever done. And people are just gonna have so much damn fun. And I, and I, look, it's not gonna lose value. You're never gonna see a Pokemon LE for less than $13, I'm telling you right now. I will, I will, I will make bets with you. A year from now, you will not see Pokemon at least for less than $13,000. Who wants to bet? Come on, make it public. Put your money where your mouth is.
    18:16
    Kong plays well and I like the flow, but I agree the art is not great. It's too busy in the art, but I do like the pin.
    18:24
    You have not played 20 games of Kong. I'd be shocked if you played one full game. John, I've played 20. I played a bunch at Automated.
    18:34
    But John, I'm not saying anything negative about the King Kong gameplay or the code. So I'm not I'm kind of curious why people are like, like, what am I saying about Kong that isn't what everyone else is saying? Shoot's great. Code is fun. They messed up on not having the King Kong assets and they made the game look like Rainbow Bright, like a Skittles bag exploded. What? That's okay. And all the art packages look the same. That was the big mistake on Kong 2. You literally will spend $6,000 on a game that looks exactly the same as the $13,000 version of the game. I mean, I don't know who made that decision. I don't know why they did it that way. That's silly. I'll bet Pokemon is under 13 at some point. It's not going to be. Make sure you adjust the post by the left ramp return on Pokemon can bounce into left out lane. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to. I'm you know, I think there's going to be a lot of good advice on how to set up Pokemon properly by the time I unbox mine. And I'm looking forward to it. Killian's gonna really gonna have a good time.
    19:49
    Game number 50. Game number 50. I do think it's kind of silly that, you know, these putting stickers on the boxes or even like, I also think it is silly, like the the plaques to say like, you've got the Charizard one of one edition. I think all that is just so foolish. I'll tell you why it's foolish because it's not official from the Pokemon company. It's not even like they don't end the poke. You don't have the Charizard edition of the game. I mean, here's what happened. The truth is this is that some dingbats paid a lot of money for the numbered games, like a lot of money. And they and they they now are trying to justify it a little bit with these like silly plaques or stickers on boxes. And it's like, yeah, like if you want it to pay $28,000 for a Charizard edition, you don't really have the Charizard edition. Okay. There's absolutely nothing.
    20:49
    And, and you know what I'm saying too? It's like, there's no, there's, there's nothing official about that. So it has no extra value. Like people are not going to pay more for number six versus eight versus 35 versus 50. They're not like, I think every Pokemon LE is worth exactly. I'm gonna be honest, I don't think it's gonna be the same. Now, if someone wants to pay, maybe, but again, these things are silly. They're just little, I get it, but I don't get it. My Ellie doesn't have any in-lane feeding issues post Bud left ramp. You know, you want a sticker. You'd admit it. You paid for your Ellie. You admit it, you paid for your Ellie. What? I mean, I, I requested number 50, diglett. The I'll tell you this there here's the other thing too people forget this there was like that mad scramble to get Your number in because people thought that the character was gonna be attached to the game. That's Believe me, I everyone thought that and then they realized it wasn't really gonna be that
    21:59
    Did you pay extra for 50, um, I think yeah, like I think you had to I think it was something like I To get a requested game I want to say it was like 250 bucks maybe I forget what it was but I did pay whatever the fee is for a numbered game
    22:23
    I don't remember what it was. I don't remember how much it costs to get. You can request what number you want, and that's what I got.
    22:36
    One to ten cost more. I will tell you that the second game I had was within that 1 to 10 range and a very nice gentleman paid Kaneda a very nice sum of money for it. I got a lot of money for my second Pokemon. Hopefully that doesn't enrage any of you. The buyer is happy. I got my name on a list long ago and everyone's happy. I didn't rob any game from one of you. It's not how it works. Been away for a while. Out of the loop. You, Kanyedi, looks really fun. Does Turner have a Winchester on its hands? The art package was more realistic and sound package better. Could it be a top tier game? First of all, thank you so much Chance for the $20. I really do appreciate it. And I will... You know how it goes. When you pay, when you pay the man, you get to take over the show. So let's talk to you, Kanyedi.
    23:44
    I, um. I think the this like the sound was atrocious and the sound is still pretty like, nah, like, I don't know, like it's not much better. I think he changed it, but it's still like, hmm.
    23:58
    So. The. The the games are package, OK? Here's what I don't get is Chris keeps saying that they are open to feedback and then he gets all this feedback on the art which is unanimously negative and he's you know he's stuck with it like he's nothing he can do
    24:24
    so it's it's definite like and again people have said this it does feel like this sort of like PP Tonight at 10 p.m. AM, 5 o'clock on Knerpfleet Mod�� John P Olivello. Matt трanor,igmatism e fleeing,
    24:43
    forsaken before Sunday night at 10 p.m. AM of COSP 21 itsancia 530攻aptista You know, like it's just not in in comparison to the other pinball art packages. It just doesn't look good And look and it's not just me saying this It's like all these people will say it and then he's he's still doubling down on the artist and that's where Chris's mistake Ultimately will be is like you can't have it both ways You can't say you want to listen to feedback and then ask people to be nice like he's asking people to be nice I saw that like, you know and look again
    25:31
    To be to ask people to be kind to someone is is not a negative thing. Like, it's a virtuous thing to ask people to be kind in life and not slam people. I look at it very simply like this. Yeah, like, you don't need to be a jerk about it. You know, he's not forcing anybody to buy this game. If you if you want the game, it's available. The big issue I have with it is the time frame. So I don't think you, Kanye, is going to like. Jon 有 I'm going to go ahead and get my head examined to buy one and be like in the 300 or 400 or 500 range because you're now well into 2027 before you get your game. And by that time, we know that some of the initial 250 games will pop up for sale for much less than $10,000 to $12,000. And you'll be able to get it and basically cut the line and not have to wait. And I don't think, you know, when you know what's coming this year with Sonic the Hedgehog, Fallout, Transformers, Back to the Future and Gremlins, or no, sorry, Goonies. Okay, so you know what I'm saying? Like a 12K Yukon Yeti amongst that group, add in Beetlejuice, add in Winchester, add in all these games, you know, it's, it's, it's, The manufacturing delay on the game is a huge issue for them.
    27:25
    I don't know how... I really don't know how you stay in business with such a slow manufacturing pace. Should have gone with a much better theme like Yeti versus skiers or snowboarders much like Bigfoot against... Yeah, you know, the other thing I noticed, and again, I'm not, this is, I kind of look at Turner a little bit like, you know, they're, they're off there in the corner doing their thing. I have no, you know, I don't have any real, any real issues, you know, again. Everyone now knows what the reality is and if you want to wait, it's on you now. I will say this. The.
    28:14
    Let me just move this a little bit. OK. Oh, did I just mess up the sound? No. OK, it's just in my ear. I will say this. The.
    28:28
    What was I going to say? Hold on, I was just reading. OK, so someone had like the theme versus snowboarders.
    28:35
    They are expanding the factory, but again, even with the expanded factory, it's still almost like a two year wait to make 500 games. Look, I just know what's coming this year and, you know, if you want a U-Kan Yeti, you're going to have something different. I think people are going to enjoy it. There's a little bit of this like all pinball is fun is kind of like a reality and everybody knows that. So I'm not really like I don't think anyone who buys a U-Kan Yeti is not going to enjoy it. I'm not gonna enjoy it. Oh, yeah, here's what I was gonna say. I was watching the stream. Watch the stream. Go back and watch a stream of it. It's like nothing on there's like no real anything happening on the screen. There's like no real code happening. It's just got like a map up and like nothing else is happening. Like there's not like there's not a lot of animations. There's not a lot of like, and I bet a lot of that's gonna come. But it's like, I don't know. I don't even think the game was ready to really show. I'm not the only one who's been in the same situation. I've also been in that situation with so little in it on the screen. So, I mean, it's the same price as Beetlejuice. Does anyone know what Beetlejuice production number Spooky is on? That is a good question. I think Spooky is running a little behind on Beetle numbers. I don't think heading into April where we should have been. I think there's somewhere around like the 200 range right now.
    30:05
    And I think, um, yeah, it's a little behind schedule. Um, they're not at full capacity. I don't think yet.
    30:12
    I really look forward to 999. I'm at the back of the line and then I also need to get the five games selected. So stay tuned for that. I know I've been very, uh, very slow getting the details out to everybody, but it's coming.
    30:28
    Um, Yeah, they made a lot of the I think they made all the show games already. So I think people are forgetting that Turner games are plug and play. You can build these things in a few hours. Well, that's that's the part that doesn't make any sense to me, man. It's like they don't look like that hard to put together. But why does it take so long? You know, like the expensive part is labor. I mean, that's all it comes down to. Do you have people there? Like you can't make a, you know, I think Turner to me is more of like a design studio than a manufacturing facility. And that's why it's like they're basically, you know, you're almost like garage building each game at a time. And again, it's, it's expensive to do that. You want, you don't want to make, you don't want to only be able to make 250 games a year. Like that's just like, that's, that's a tiny, tiny operation. Well, all right. How many of you out there have a Pokemon Elite? Have you unboxed it? I heard that Stern shipped out the ordered games.
    32:00
    So games where the dealers and distros requested numbers, but I don't think all of the L.E.'s went out. I heard that the there is I don't even know if they made all the L.E.'s. I think there might be a little bit of a delay.
    32:18
    So we'll see. um i had a really nice combo with mr george gomez he's very excited for killing to get his game
    32:28
    um yeah i'm very excited to see killian's game arrive i i i think um the team over at stern is very happy that my um my firstborn is going to be smiling ear to ear with a product that they made I think sometimes people think like these manufacturers can't stand me and this and that. And like, I don't know, maybe, maybe, but I will say I have nothing but great relationships now with every single manufacturer that matters. I have a good relationship with Stern, with Jersey Jack, with American Pinball, with Barrels, with Spooky. I mean, I call, they pick up. I'm the door is always open for me to go go in there and see what they're working on.
    33:21
    There's no negativity. And, you know, there's there's still that thread on pin side where they're trying to take down all the content creators. I saw it pop up again this week.
    33:31
    And it's interesting, it's it's interesting that like there is an anger towards those of us who make entertaining content about pinball on a weekly basis that gives people connection and fun and entertainment. And like, why would that be problematic? And it's weird, too, that I think some people are still stuck in like.
    33:54
    Kaneda's like reputation for maybe 13 years ago, you know what I'm saying? Like to be a grown man that is incapable of, I don't know, maybe giving people a second chance or checking it out. Now, for those of you, I mean, there's a reason why we have the most subscribers out of any pinball content creator ever. It's not a ton, but it's still the most. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like I'm somewhat successful within this nano, nano space.
    34:24
    It's weird that people are still angry about it. I don't get it. I, I, I don't wake up and think about any of those individuals, but man, I, something I did to them. I don't know where I touched them. Right? All the dealers should have their Pokemon LE next week at the latest. It's going to be great. You might be kind of a big deal. I never... I don't think that at all. But I think everyone has a choice. You wake up and engage with the stuff that makes you happy and the stuff that doesn't. Disregard it. So Christopher Franchi didn't want me to talk about Beetlejuice, no, he didn't want me to talk about Pokemon. Is there any Beetlejuice news that we should be talking about? How's Beetlejuice going? Is there anything in the code that you guys want to see more of? Does it have enough moments of magic? I mean, I haven't played it enough. I can definitely tell you that visually it is absolutely stunning and theme-wise it is absolutely brilliant. I actually really, really, really enjoyed shooting it. So for those of you that think it has too many scoops, I don't agree. Are you coming to pinfest? That is a good question. I need to check with Brenda if I can make it there.
    35:46
    Beetlejuice is holding up on location. That's awesome. Kelly, I think you got it side by side, right, with Evil Dead? What for those of you that have it side by side does Evil Dead still blow it away in terms of having way more in it and mechs and movement and like what what's your what's your comparisons between Beetlejuice and Evil Dead like which one so evil still has a lot more right You like evil better? It shoots better than Beetlejuice. See I keep hearing like, I hear both things. I hear some people say Beetle is better than Evil Dead. I hear people say Evil Dead is better than Beetle. Obviously it's subjective but.
    36:48
    Evil Dead Beetlejuice is more bouncy and energetic. Evil Dead is more moody, both better than Potter.
    36:58
    Yeah, I do agree. I think the call outs in Evil Dead really do separate that game and take it to a different level that Beetle doesn't have. So, you know, it's fun. You're playing, but it doesn't have like the same call out magic. In fact, like I think they they have call outs and they they suggest you turn them off. It's more fun to play without it. So that's like, that's a little bit of a disappointment, right? It's like, I wish they would have got the call outs to a place where they wanted them and they add it to the experience. Like it's weird to do call outs for a game and then, and then recommend that your customers don't even use it. Like, not, not sure. I, I'm not sure I like that. I think they should have, should have figured out a way to make the call outs like work. The Potter Code is too chaotic. Well, look, I mean, you know how I feel about Potter. And by the way, Potter is about to go through a cultural crisis. They're, I mean, it's not even about being woke. I just think the casting of the new show is just getting destroyed online. I feel bad for like, you know, the dude who's like, I'm trying to, you know, step into the shoes of what was it, Alan?
    38:18
    Rankman, Rankman, who was, you know, from him. I mean, he was like iconic. And the problem is, is that.
    38:29
    You know, when you take characters and you change their, like, appearance so dramatically. It just I don't know, I don't know, you know, like I'm I am not racist, I am not Any like I have my friends are from diverse backgrounds, but some things should just be left alone. Like, like, you know, I'm saying like you could remake Star Wars and you could make Han Solo Chinese or black or like whatever. You know what I'm saying? Like, you could do that. But should you? And that's that's the thing with Hollywood man is they just just can't stop like making everything for for everybody and and it's it's just why I think Hollywood is in a really terrible position culturally now like we don't look to Hollywood anymore for anything much of that you know like I I'm I'm really looking forward to the new Star Wars movies I hopefully they're good. I think Star Wars and theaters is an important thing.
    39:37
    Goonies is a wide body. Is that true? There's a long history of radical recasts in theater. Yeah, no, cringe take. Steven, I don't know, am I like being cringe worthy here? I'm just, I don't, I don't, I don't think so. I mean, just sharing my opinion about this stuff. Like, I don't even think they should be remaking Harry Potter to begin with. There's no point. It's a lose-lose. It's like, it's like remaking Lord of the Rings one day. Like, it just, you don't need to remake everything. You know, there's just, there's just laziness in all these remakes. Steven Emmett. I don't, okay bro. Like, Steven, I, I, I don't, what, what's cringe about my take? I don't, I don't, I would love to know. Like, this is what's weird about the modern world. Did anything I just say, like, offend anybody or was cringe worthy? I... Stuff in art get remade endlessly. Yeah, but Steven, it doesn't mean you should. You know what I'm saying? Should everything be remade? Why? I don't think everything should be remade. You know what I'm saying? Like, okay, so like, if you remade Back to the Future And made like, you know, Marty McFly, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just stupid, like someone else. It was never going to work.
    41:27
    I love that Robert Zemeckis said Back to the Future will never be remade while he is alive. It's been happening since the Greeks. Ah, well, look, I am like, I'm really, really hung over. No, which is true. I absolutely, absolutely am so excited for this year in pinball. You know what I'm saying, guys? Like, how exciting is this year going to be? Sonic is going to be insane. So, fallout's gonna be epic. Transformers is gonna be... Transformers, man, when you hear that theme song and Peter Cullen doing the callouts, and I heard that Transformers has one of the most incredible mechs Stern has ever done, I absolutely cannot wait. I'm in on Transformers LE. How many of you are on the list for Transformers LE? I'm definitely, definitely going to buy one and scalp one.
    42:31
    You can't stop me. You can't stop Kaneda from making a little money on the side. It's funny because dealers will line up those Pokemon LEs and just do the math. Each one of those, a dealer's making $2,500 on for doing what? What do they do?
    42:47
    I always find it funny when people like thank their dealer. Like, thanks Stern. Well, what did what did what Zach, Melissa, Mike, I get them all good people treating their customers right, but they didn't do anything. They didn't get you know, I'm saying they didn't make they didn't lift the they literally took a game, went from Stern to them to you through a shipping company. What did they do?
    43:14
    For that twenty five hundred dollars. You know what I'm saying? Like, thanks Stern. Thank George Gomez. Thank Jack Danger. Don't, don't thank like your distro. Like they did not.
    43:29
    I'm going to get in trouble with my distro friends today. Yeah. I mean, all they did was like, I get it because they, they gave you a game and not someone else. That's, that's why you're thanking them. I get it. Like you're on, you know, you're in good with them. That's that's like we're look we are back and I mean this we are back to a place now where you better be in good with a few distros. You know I don't even know if like people email out even opportunities to buy games anymore. You know Joe Newhart used to send an email I think like Trent used to do this and maybe um JJ right right? Like they used to send out emails and it was like kind of first come first serve that could order the game. I don't even think they do that anymore. Like game exchange would do that. I, I think these things are like spoken for now before they, the games are even announced.
    44:31
    So you know getting good with your district and dealers and I always say this to people money talks It's that simple. These relationships are all conditional. People have their favorites. I, you know, something that we do a bad job of telling our kids about is like that their favoritism exists in the world. It exists in nature. We're going to teach my kids is what I've done. Get in people's good favor. Don't complain like a baby. Get in their good favor. Figure out how to do that. Some of it might be money, some of it might be personality, some of it might be, you know, just get to know them, build a relationship. You like my Pikachu, Jeff? I love it. The distro will help Kaneda out when his game gets a boo boo and Kaneda doesn't know which end of the screwdriver goes... John, John, I'm feeling, John, I'm feeling like we need, we need to hug it out, brother. You know what I'm saying? I, I know you're no longer a Kaneda Club member. You should be. We love, we love Jack Barr. We love John endlessly. Um, I know, I know, man, I already know what you know. You know, I don't play much pinball and that's not why people listen to Kaneda's Pinball Podcast. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I have never, I have never positioned my show as a show about gameplay.
    46:24
    It's just everyone else does it. My show is about the market and the community and like the companies. Like, it's like, I'm, you know, I'm analyzing all these companies, what the moves are and what's happening within the community. That's what I talk about. I could care less sometimes about the pathway to the final wizard mode. I'm just going to open up the coin door, bro. And I opened up the coin door and got to the end of Harry Potter in 20 minutes. And I knew when I did that, I was like, man, I would never be able to see this if I was just trying to get here on a three ball game.
    47:10
    These games have issues and that's when a distro steps in Yeah, look guys like When I love it doing like the distro steps in they did all they do is email the company
    47:24
    You know what I'm saying like like literally they're they're they're middlemen they're middlemen This whole network existed before the internet because you needed these dealers to buy the games for the arcades like you guys do understand this like the There's a big margin to be a middleman and that margin, you're going to see more and more of these companies selling direct though. It's going to happen. Spooky's going to do it. Jersey Jack sells a lot direct already. But buy from your distro that you like and that's it. Look, I think the phrase I'm about to say, everybody can eat in this hobby. The distros can make money, content creators can make a little coin on the side, the manufacturers can make a lot of money, everybody can eat. And that's good. I'm happy to see people successful. I don't wish ill will on anybody out there. You know, I definitely, you know, I haven't talked about it, but I'm still want to get up my sort of Kaneda dealer site. It's coming. I'm coming and I'm going to sell games. I'm most likely going to sell games at the market value. So okay, let me explain what I mean by that. If I can get my hands on a bunch of games and I'll sell it at the market value and people can kick and scream or they can buy it with no hassle and you'll get the backing from a dealer or distro for customer service and you know you can trust me. I mean I'm not going to burn anybody. I'm not going to sell someone a game I don't have. I'm not going to leave anybody hanging with issues. I'm very public. And that's the thing is like when you're a public facing figure, you can't burn people. Like it's like, it's too easy.
    49:20
    You said they do nothing. Well, John, I they don't do anything on these like L.E. sales to make the money. Come on, John. You know that, right? You do. It's not about. See, the thing is, this is the dealers make their money on the the hot L.E.s like this. And look, a lot of it is offsetting the major losses and risk they take on some other titles. Like people forget.
    49:44
    That Stern shoves a lot of premium and pros onto these dealers that they don't even want So, I understand the way the whole game works, John. I understand. Look, I mean, the person making the most money for doing probably the least is Project Pinball. I mean, they're making like almost a million dollars a year. Almost a million dollars a year. And that can has been kicked around a lot this year. People are catching on. The moment they got a Yukon Yeti auction already, you know, a raffle. These raffles are ridiculous. That's where they're making all their money. And all the, um, why are the kids, why are, why is Brenda back with another mother and their kids coming into our house right now? What, what, what is, this wasn't the plan. They were supposed to go get pizza. And Brenda's telling me to shush. Here comes Killian with his Easter basket. He's running onto the street. Brenda, bad mom. You know what is amazing about kids? They're not affected by the cold. They literally are just having fun. Oh, man. He's such a beautiful boy, Killian. He's waving. He's so kind and sweet. Brenda's done such a good job raising these two little boys. I can't wait to turn them into two gentlemen. I've got a great book, it's called Gentlemen. And it really, every man should read it.
    51:26
    I should have read it earlier, but it's really like, oh man, there's two kids? This is not gonna be good.
    51:41
    Why? Why, Brenda? No, no word on Resident Evil. I've been asking for an update. I don't know what happened. Read 7 Habits of Highly Effective Pele. Pele? People? Everybody poops? Yep. I think it's a responsibility of a father to raise their children to have manners. And I do, you know, look, I put on a lot of theatrics for this show and dress like a clown many times and wear stuff that's purposely provocative and shocking. But my mama raised me right. Like she raised us right. Like I understand how to. You know, it was interesting. I was on the train the other day. It's shocking how like men don't get up and give a woman a seat anymore. Nobody does. Like we've all become rude. I mean, everybody. Like nobody knows how to treat and be respectful like people used to be. I mean, people used to go to like Yankee games in like suits, you know, with like top hats. Everyone looks like a slob now. It's amazing. How do you feel about Disney destroying Star Wars since our kids are named after it? Well, here's the thing. Disney did not destroy. Disney created Andor, and that show is probably still the best Star Wars content ever. If you haven't seen Andor season one and two, I think it's better than any Star Wars movie ever. The story of how the rebellion forms is the greatest. I think that's some of the greatest Star Wars moments ever. So Disney didn't destroy my Star Wars. I don't I don't care about like Ashoka and some of the other crap. But Cassian Andor will always be, I think, the most badass Star Wars figure of all time. And the story of Cassian Andor and the sacrifices he made and his character arc is just incredible. Well, the last trilogy was is just horrendous. I mean, I don't even think about it. It's also weird that they didn't write the three. They didn't write the three movies before they started shooting them. And that was like the big issue was, you know, you go from I think JJ Abrams teed it up nicely with The Force Awakens. And then Rian Johnson just destroyed it with like what he did to Luke. Like he turned Luke into such a loser.
    54:31
    And, you know, the whole world is like waiting for Luke to come back and kick ass and. And like use the force and like the most incredible, awesome, like like literally people should have been
    54:44
    jumping out of their seats, applauding like Luke's return should have been like Yoda fighting Count Doku, you know, and the way The Luke throws the lightsaber over his shoulder and doesn't want and just whines like a baby the whole movie sucked
    55:01
    Like and and Rian Johnson wanted to make him that way like this pacifist woke loser character like so annoying And then you know and Jon Favreau like corrected that
    55:16
    Sorry I lost my He corrected that with one of the most amazing scenes ever in the Mandalorian when Luke comes to take Grogu. Like that scene is insane when you see that X-wing appear and Luke just takes out all the, you know, all the bad guys. Like that's what we wanted. Not just like a hologram of Luke on the battlefield and Kylo Ren more, more, screaming more. Like it was just like so pathetic. And, you know, I will say this, the, um, the, like, how awesome is Rogue One? Like, how awesome was that scene with Vader coming through the door? Like, I don't think you've ever feared Vader more than what they created in Rogue One.
    56:07
    Now, what's interesting is when I watch Rogue One now, it feels fake. It feels like it feels like CGI everywhere. Andor's shot way better. It's grittier. It feels more real. And also, like, you know, I loved Rogue One when I first saw it. But seeing it now, I'm like, wow, you really don't get any of the impact of the characters. They don't develop them nearly as much as they do in the show. And it almost like I do. I don't even need Rogue One, you know, now that I've got Andor. What do you expect Marvel Lucasfilm to find and grow and sell in the Thanks for Thats High gezeigt by Sanda Sus sup everyone? A. Well, I think what's happened with Marvel guys, it's like it's all over the place. I don't even know where it is in this. Now they're going to. Bring the Doctor Doom scenario and like. They didn't tie it all together like they did with Avengers like the endgame Avengers is just
    57:08
    That all those movies that the 20 years starting from like Iron Man 1 to Avengers endgame is the greatest You don't need to make it ever It's just so good like endgame the two movies with the Infinity Stones and Thanos and look to your left cap and when when when those circles open up and And Captain America is about to be killed and all the Avengers come and like kick out like it's just it's incredible that reminded me of like two towers like the battle for Helm's Deep it was that good. It was it was epic people are going they were losing their minds but we were crying in the theater when Spider Man dies at the end of the first like Infinity Wars like like literally like tears. And I felt the same way with Lord of the Rings, like the epicness of it, the scale and the characters like you. They nailed it.
    58:11
    People want to feel something, man, they want character development, they want good storylines, you know, they don't want to be. This is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, LLC. They should do it. You know what I'm saying? They would've just, they would've shoved something like that into it now.
    58:57
    Oh my God. Again, I have so many gay friends. More gay friends than probably all of you. Like even they're just like, ah, wait, like, you know, it, it, it, the whole approach, it has the reverse effect. When you try to force things, force normalize things by pushing them into things that they don't normally, like, it's just, You can do it. It's not going to be effective. It actually turns more people off to your agenda. You know, I'm very jealous of my gay friends who are like of similar size because they have twice the wardrobe. It's like I have a twin brother, like we should just share clothes. You buy that? Gucci Blazer and we can share it.
    59:57
    What else you guys want to talk about? We got another like half hour. I'm having a great Saturday. I'm feeling good.
    60:04
    The family's in the house with their friends. I'm gonna go walk and get my Toyota in 30 minutes because I drank too much at dinner and walked home or no Brenda drove. She didn't drink that much. But I met her at dinner. So I drove and And then I left the car in the village in a parking spot behind the restaurant in a space where nobody can hit me. Tiger Woods, y'all. What a disaster. He looked like such... Do you guys watch the Justin Timberlake? You got to go watch the Justin Timberlake police body cam when he got arrested in the Hamptons. The dude is like out of his mind and he's like, I just had one martini and I'm following my friends home. And then this annoying woman shows up, who's probably like his publicist friend is like, come on, don't you like bye bye bye and you know, cry me a river like I'm bringing sexy back. Like she's like, can you just let him go? Like dude is swerving all over the road out of his mind. Couldn't even walk straight.
    61:09
    How many cars is he going to roll? I know, like, man, rolling over is like not, that's, that's a, that's not a good thing.
    61:20
    Do you think American Pinball is doing Tony Hawk? Hmm, good question. Great question. Thank you for that question. I don't know if it would sell that well. You know, I just I worry that like the code on it or just the storyline would be a little thin. When Nickelback and Creed did a Cheetos commercial recently, I said we might be coming back, folks. What? Look, I think, I don't know. I mean, look, I would love, I don't know, I mean, like skateboarding, pinball machine, I definitely could see, you know, that homebrew game is cool, the ramps are really neat. It could work. Look, I will say this. People drink and drive a lot. And people with money do it a lot. And I see it in these restaurants. I'm like, man, these people are like, they're going through like two bottles of wine and then they're getting in their car. And I'm like, what are you doing? I've learned that there's nothing smarter you can do than just leaving the car and get an Uber and go back the next day and get it.
    63:17
    How strong is Justice League Super Friends from I think it's a strong rumor. I think we're going to see it. I think Jersey Jack is I think Justice League could be The next game is the next game.
    63:33
    I'll tell you why. They've got a really strong relationship with Warner Brothers, so I definitely think we're going to see whether it's Justice League or Superman. I think Jersey Jack's got it.
    63:49
    Hello Kitty Pinball. No, Pokemon. Will you allow Kaneda Beatles to be flipped? Go to someone. No. So there will be part of the conditions for the Kaneda Beetle machines is there is no transfer of. Now, look, I can't stop once we ship it, but the five games will be shipped to the five winners. There will be no transfer of spots. That's all I can do. After that, I can't stop. It's their game. They're gonna be paying for it. It's not like they won it.
    64:31
    If I win, it's going on location in my arcade bar. Do you have one, Hans, already? A personal game? Mark is doing Avatar 3, Fire and Ash. No, he's not.
    64:50
    They are not going to make another Avatar. You know, I look, I didn't even did anyone see that movie? I did not see it. I don't care to see it. And I think James Cameron's done. I think this is the last one. I don't I don't I think he's I think he realizes nobody gives a crap anymore about Avatar. It's it's soulless, bro. You can't even name like three characters. It's just soulless. You know, I feel nothing for these blue characters. This computer's dying. How much time we got? We have 15%. Should be perfect timing to get to the end. Oh, you guys are not the best on the Brenda Sake. Like I said, we only got 70 bucks today. We usually are closer to 200 now. Come on, Brenda. Don't you want to get Brenda drunk? It's my only chance. Get this skinny Irish sassy. She gets sassy when she gets drunk. Like it is. There's like, there's like one. There's like one. There we go, Fizzy. There we go. Come on, Fizzy. I like, I like. There we go. Look at Ozzy. Damn, bro. Damn. You just, you just, it's your show now, Oz. Ozzy with the hundred bucks. Bro, I love this man. I love your Cybertruck. I love everything about, we're like brothers from another mother. Like I can tell. I gotta come down to Florida, bro. We gotta hang out. And dude, dudes, come to New York City, man. Let's, let's, let's go to my Japanese jazz bar. Let's have a night.
    66:36
    I helped Bill Brandes' friend get into my Japanese jazz bar. Dude is like an architect Line is around the block My friend ushered in through the secret entrance right to the bar They love me there I love them You know what I do every year?
    66:54
    I ask them, I don't even care like if I've seen them all, I ask them every year to write down everybody's name who works there and I give them a very nice holiday gift, a tip. And I will say, you know, I did this a few years ago. There was a moment where it was like, well, where do we really want to like give gifts to? And I was like, well, I want to, you know, like my parents don't need anything. Like my brother doesn't need anything. Like I want to give back to the people in the service industry that work really hard and who, you know, have created a place that makes me feel special. That's what I do. Cause I appreciate the 99 cents, bro. You guys are the best. You guys are absolutely the best. You know, this always annoys the Kaneda haters. Well, poor St. John's, man. They cover the spread. I will say I did get drunk last night and put a sports bet on. I bet on the game after St. John's Duke. I bet the under and I hit so easily. It was like under 181 or something, 183, and for like 10 minutes both teams just stopped scoring. Nothing like a good under bet where you just know, you know, like they've got to score 38 points in like 20 seconds or, you know, I love it. Sports betting is stupid though. You know me, I'm very honest about it. Like I will lose that money right back. The more you stay in it, the more you're going to lose. Yeah. Look, whenever anyone wants to get into the Tomi jazz, you let me know. Thank you, man. Mason, brother, you guys are too generous, man. You really do keep Brenda inebriated on Saturday nights. So thank you. No, but I really do appreciate, you know, I was talking to someone at work. And it's interesting because I work in a place where, you know, corporate America like raises, we got 1200 stars here on Facebook. Thank you. Let me see, who gave these stars? Let's see. We got Ted. Ted, thank you. And Greg, thank you guys.
    69:19
    This great woman I work with, she's a strategist, and she's like, do you have a podcast? Like, what's with the mic? I'm like, yeah, yeah. I was like, yeah, just do it on the side. You gotta remember, these companies are giving people like two to 3% raises, like two to 3%, which is not a lot. Even 2% of 100 grand is not a lot. It's $2,000, right? So like, and these people aren't all making 100 grand. So like, it's just funny that everybody can like, add some value to a community and make a little on the side and it makes everybody feel good. It makes you guys feel good. It makes me feel good. It makes Brenda feel great. And I love it. And I love giving recognition to the club members. You guys are the best. I do think we have the best club. I mean, it's the chat is is incredible. For those of you not on the chat. It's it's super fun waking up every day and seeing like, We're at it's a good cast of characters it's it's a little sloppy because it's just never ending it's not we don't I don't like discord I like the patreon chat because it's like it's just it's just continuous I I don't discord I don't need all these different threads and making things searchable no it's kind of like you know what I love it it forces everybody to be present that's why I love it there's no looking back there's no thinking about yesterday or tomorrow it's like it's it's such a here and now thing and I I understand some people are like well Make it this, make it that. But that's why I like it, because when you jump into the Canada chat, you are in it live and present with a topic. And you know what I'm saying? And that's why I like it. I don't I and every new day is a new day. And we it's like we we take that conversation in a lot of different directions. At aristocrat doing casino gaming art.
    71:03
    Franchi, what's up? Come on, Franchi, give us, leak back to the future for us. Look, I, I hear the kids screaming and I'm like, it's, it's like, Cass is so adorable. Like he's just, he's like watching a little, a little boy learn how to like really talk and communicate and tell you what he wants. He's like, lollipop, la pop. I'm like, lollipop, la pop.
    71:41
    We are miracles. How do we exist from a single cell? Like when you think about how a woman creates us
    71:56
    and we make pinball machines, Neo Geo. Man. We're such miracles. It's I Don't understand how people don't wake up and just like really feel that every day You got to remind yourself of that every day
    72:16
    you know, it's too much it's too easy to like go in these like man these I Will say this like I went out to this great place to get a great happy hour and the bartenders this kid like he's like 30 and he starts going off on this tangent about how we need to go back before the colonial era and And colonization ruined the world and he was just he was so negative about everything and I'm like bro you're 30 go get drunk and go get laid and stop praying for a for a to live in a world before colonization like you could do that and become an extreme psycho and be unhappy every day or you could just appreciate that we live in the best of times. Whenever I take a hot bath, I'm like, man, for thousands of years, nobody could do this. Nobody could have like a relaxing hot bath and open up Pinside and read
    73:15
    what a bunch of middle-aged alcoholic men are feeling about pinball. I mean, like, I love, I love 2026 for all the things it gives us. I can walk to a village and go get a lobster roll. I can go get a great piece of pizza. I can drive a car that's exhilarating. Why am I going to wake up and be mopey about the fact that colonization happened? And again, it's academia. They brainwashed these kids to feel bad about everything. I can't wait to raise my kids to be proud of what you have, be proud of where you live, be proud of what your grandfather did, be proud of what this family has, never apologize for it, never brag about it, never make people feel small because, you know, we have more than most but we don't have a ton. But just be happy. You've got a roof over your head. David Van Es Potty, Patrick Vaughn,
    74:37
    David Van Es Potty, Nathaniel persön. I know, you know, I met him, he was bartending and he wants a job in marketing and he wants an entry-level job, and he's, that's just like, I talked to him on the phone, right, and he's like, yo dog, that's fire. Like, I was like, man, who taught these kids how to communicate? First of all, they say the dumbest things like their adjectives and the way they articulate, they, they sound like idiots. And then they also like cut you off before you're I've noticed this about like Gen Z communicators. They don't wait till you're done saying what you're going to say. They're already saying something because their brains are so wired to just like just jump to the next jump to the next. And it's like, whoa, bro. Whoa. Like simmer down. We had an intern presentation at work last year and the interns presented their creative idea looking at their cell phone, their notes. And they presented sitting down. And you know what happened? People started clapping. I'm like, we're hiring none of these kids. Who trained these kids this summer? Who mentored them? Like, this is garbage. I'm sorry, like they're adults. The problem is now you can't give feedback. You absolutely can't give feedback anymore. There is no way to train people anymore because they can't handle it. And then you feel like that and then you get in trouble with HR and then you're the problem. When I was really young in my career, I wanted to impress the people above me. And to get on the good teams, you had to do great work and get noticed by them. They didn't give a shit. They didn't care about me at all until I made them care about me. It's a different world now. It's like they feel entitled to being coddled and advanced through the company before they've made a mark. And I say this, I have the same pressure on myself. If you want to make a mark, not just once a week, but at least once a year, you need to make a mark, whether it's an idea that gets executed, whether it's a new point of view, whether it's a workshop you've developed, you've got to make a mark. You've got to make a name for yourself. Now, I've made many good marks throughout my tenure at Weber. I love it. I've done some bangers. I've had some great years. I've had some off years. Some years, stuff doesn't go your way. It's not for lack of trying. You're listening to Sarah Chabris from KKди Show on MPB Sport!

    The amount of times, I'll tell you this, where I've had like regroups and you know, the younger talent shows up with nothing. I mean, would you ever in a million years show up to a creative review and not have anything? And then you know what they do? When I'm walking through the ideas that I worked hard on and stayed up late to make, they're the ones doing all the talking and giving all the feedback. Like, you don't get to say, shh, you didn't do any work. You don't deserve to give feedback. You didn't do the homework. Don't even come to class. It's ridiculous. You know what it is too? You know what's funny is they don't care. They're not motivated by like any, like I don't know what motivates them. It's not the money. It's not the, you know, it's funny because like in the end, what motivates me is creating Awesome stuff for my clients, but also, you know, making some decent money and and putting some investment into the, you know, into the markets like I want I want a better.
    79:16
    I want a better life for myself, for my family, for my kids like. You know, and I also like stuff. I like stuff that costs money. I like pinball machines. I like lobster rolls. I like Gucci. I used to like Gucci. You know what I'm saying? Like, I want to be able to buy my wife a nice coat, a nice bag every once in a while. They don't care. Oh, they hate labels, they hate brands, they hate everything, they hate, hate, hate, like cool. Just be lonely and go on the internet and be single into your 30s. You know, like the amount of like people without any, any, they're not in any relationship, they have no family, no kids, no nothing, like, and they're alone, like, terrible. I don't want to be alone. Who wants to be alone? You ever travel to a foreign city with nobody? It's not fun. Now, I will say this. Eating alone as a dad who's got a lot, that's a lot of fun. You know, it's like, you know, you always see that middle aged guy at the bar and you think like, you know, he's in heaven. Like, he, you know what I'm saying? He's not, he's not, he doesn't want to talk to anybody. He just wants to enjoy his steak and his beer and he doesn't want to talk to anybody. You got Barlow Franchi. But Franchi, you've got this community too, man. You're connected, man. You know what I'm saying, Franchi? You've got all these friends you've made through a hobby that loves you.
    80:40
    You know, I don't think a lot of people have that. I mean this when I say it. A lot of people don't really have like hobbies and fans and friends that they've made through something that they're passionate about, you know? Because, you know, you're not gonna get it in a lot of corporate America jobs. Like you're, you know, like people tend to complain about work versus get excited to talk about it.
    81:09
    Yeah, I mean, that's what it comes down to. It's like, you know, it's, it's, it's, as long as you have people to spend your time with,
    81:17
    that's, that's all that matters. I mean, meaningful relationships, you know, I would take two to three meaningful friendships over, you know, I don't know. It's just, yeah. We're creating something that, you know, I kind of want to get even stronger in here. SoаниughOutpinball.com. they're going to be fantastic. So Dont cake. Donate other things. Donate some of the money, win a fair. If you don't have that money, we're going to be back down to the dirt. And I called Kirk already showing up last night. so we'll see how ticker runs. I'll mess you up and they will destroy your relationships with people. And you've got to be careful. I tell this to Brenda, I tell it to myself, I tell it to my friends. Like, you gotta keep it together. You gotta keep it together. There's a reason why these things destroy lives. And none of it makes anyone's life better. Look, I love socializing. I like drinking. You know me, I work for alcohol companies and I love that I get to do it. I love a good Nick Ultra. I love a Bud Light. I love a, you know, a Stella. Like those are what I work on. I love all those products. I love cut water. We have cut water now. I mean, Bush Light. Bush Light is, we just did an activation where we brought all this Bush Light to the March Madness game because it was like Nebraska versus Iowa State, right? It's like, that was such a fun thing to do. Because there was all the news was like, they're going to run out of Bush Light. It's, look, and I think it is important to go out and socialize and meet people and have conversations. And, you know, probably the most important thing with work, especially in corporate America, is you need to, you need to have, I'm just going to say this, you need to have some nights where you kind of get a little drunk and lose yourself and become vulnerable in front of people. Because that is where real bonding happens in moments of vulnerability. You know, I was I get on. I don't really care. I'll just say this like.
    83:31
    The the creative team I work with, I wish they did more of that. We just did it recently. It was awesome. Like relationships were forged with people that I, you know, I've never seen them like this. I haven't heard their point of view. I haven't. Yeah, you know, you know, I'm saying is I haven't seen the real them We're in New York F'n City. Why are we always just sitting at our desks and going home? Let's punch out at 6 and go get some libations and have some fun. Life is short. We're all going to die. You're not going to get a second go at this. Everything else can wait. And you know what happens when you do that? When you do that bonding and you're going to meet someone you might not have met that I could open up the door for maybe your next job. You're gonna maybe meet your wife because maybe you met someone at work and you found out, you get along great. And then, you know, I met Brenda because of a coworker, was her childhood friend who, I didn't know that until I saw her picture on Tinder. I clicked her Instagram link and there he was in all of her photos. I'm like, I know this guy. And then we went out, we went to Brass Monkey, We went to Joshua Tree. We went to Duplex all in one night. We must have consumed, I don't even want to say how many drinks. And here we are happily married, two kids living in the suburbs. I feel like I hit the jackpot. Living the dream. Absolutely like happy. Like you couldn't, you know, I will say this, you couldn't knock on my door and offer me $10 million for Brenda, $10 million for Cassie. I wouldn't sell any of these, nor should I, right? But you know what I'm saying is like, and I see people who get like so, like, like they marry the career. And my point that I was going to make is when you have fun and you bond with your team and you become family versus coworkers, the work gets better. That's how you approach your career. That's how you're going to get to better work, better ideas, because you know what you won't David Van Es Just I don't ever say anything about why you coming in at noon or what like it doesn't matter when the moment her pen hits the paper it's pure genius but she's just cool and we and we go back and forth like we'll have moments where like we're we're arguing like brother and sister on the team's chat and the rest of the team is like what they're they're so like concerned and i'm like no this is healthy this is healthy this is how two creatives should be I have all the relationships with like the senior leaders and the you know great client 05 Glenn Sudler东iant, Jason Gladwell, Nick invece 06 Brian L 같은데 사istent89RJR You know, the beauty team girls, they love Kaneda. We go out, I've got these, you know, these gorgeous young beauty team, I call it the blonde ambition tour. They come, Brenda knows them all. They're all great. They're all in relationships. They're just so cool. And we go out, we have a good time. You know, there's nothing like walking into a place with a good looking crew and everyone's just having a good time. And that is it. Life does not get better than that. Well, it does. Kids are the best. Brenda the best. Hey, everybody. This computer is about to die. I'm on my soapbox. It's time to call it quits.
