I'm just back from the Grand Canyon and I did a river trip in the Grand Canyon and it was awesome. Hello Nicole Burgers. How are you? And the rig didn't work as well as I wanted it to. So, what we're going to have is the left side of the mega rig is going to work. The right side doesn't work. So, we're only going to do left side games. Doesn't matter. We're having fun. We're at Eureka Heights. We got DJ Chris Low. We're having a great time. So, that doesn't matter. Uh, let me show you what we're going to do. We're going to do We had 54 players today come to Eureka Heights. And what we're going to do is a 16 two two let's see 16 players are going to make the final and then two two game elimination uh best out of three and then you move and move and move and basically it's going to take me all night. I'm going to be here till about midnight considering I just got out of the canyon on Thursday. I'm pretty tired and uh yesterday was a day of travel, but all is good. Uh Dr. Doobie, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Uh it is a happy Saturday. Uh happy 4th of July weekend for everyone. And uh we're streaming. We're going to have some fun here at Eureka Heights. And uh let's watch Gary. Gary's just fooling around here, but I just want to show you what we're looking at on the left side. And it looks pretty good. I'm pretty happy with it. We got to get rid of this thing over here. Uh, but it looks pretty good. So, this is Scooby-Doo and we'll fool with that later. But back to the JBS show and uh let's see what everyone's doing on chat. I'm by myself for a little bit. I'm going to have a bunch of popin guest commentators coming with me. Enzo, hey buddy. How are you? Dude, I need a nap. I need a nap. I'm exhausted. [Music] Uh, and Jamie Radford, how are you, Jamie? Thank you so much for joining. Uh, okay. So, here's what we're going to do. We're going to show you guys the standings here. Let's see if this pops up. I think it's going to work. Here's the ri here is the bracket. Uh, and you can see here Wesley Johnson's going to be playing Mark Gammons. Kevin Feifer, Joshua Mitchell, Jim Mueller against Craig Hughes, Aaron Hernandez against Luis Maldonado, Grayson Turner against Jessica Marillo. Good for Jessica. Mark Bosch against Kevin and Jess uh Donardo against Marissa. And then John Spain against Ted Rubenstein. So that is just a fantastic uh 16 players. We've got DJ Oh, that was me. I did that. We got DJ Chris Low here. So, we're having a lot of fun. Diet Coke is from Red Bull. I'm going to tell you a Diet Coke story. Enzo, you ready? Couldn't drink a lot of Diet Coke in the Grand Canyon, right? I could only bring 16 beverages, so I brought and you had to buy it from their company, so they only had Diet Pepsi, which totally sucked. And then around day nine, I wasn't even craving them anymore. So, now I get back, I'm pounding Diet Cokes the last two days. I kind of don't feel good. There's might be something to this water thing. So, today this is filled with water. I know. I don't know what's going on. Hopefully, I get back into the groove. Uh or maybe I should use this as an example not to drink as many Diet Cokes. That's in the cards. I can't tell you that I'm going to follow through with that. uh he used a ridiculous amount of these in the canyon. Zins and I switch into chill seems like a nice little brand and uh nice flavors. Yeah, I know, Enzo. It makes no sense to me. Uh apparently eating clean and doing a lot of hikes and working out and not drinking aspartane is good for you. Uh H2O Jamie, I know Diet Pepsis Water is good for you. It is good for you. And I'm I You're so hot in the bottom of the Grand Canyon, ladies and gentlemen. We did a 15-day river trip. So, I did 226 miles on the river. Other people paddled for me, Enzo. Uh Enzo's asking how was it. Um it is it is just amazing, you know. So, it's an amazing spiritual place for me and I'm super happy that we were able to to do this. And this is the third time in the Grand Canyon. I've been in Phantom Ranch and this is my second uh rafting trip, my first trip of the entire uh Colorado River through the canyon. So, yeah, Nicole is proud of me as well. We'll see how long it lasts. We'll see how long it lasts. Okay, let's go back here. Uh we've got the bracket. I can show you the standings, I think. Let's see if the standings work. So, the standings don't work because they haven't done it yet, but the bracket works. So, we can kind of see where they're going to pick. And so, they're picking games right now. And because we're stuck on the left side uh of the mega rig, we we're going to be messing around today. Okay, it's a test stream beta stream 2.0. We're at code point 75 right now. Uh, I know what I did wrong and I got the coders working on it. So, I know what I did wrong. No, no worries. We're okay. I am ridiculously tan. Enzo, Nicole, and everyone here. Um, I know, dude. Enzo, how can there be world peace when Coke and Pepsi can't be in the same restaurants or even the Grand Canyon? No idea. But the water is a good thing. I'm really been doing it. Um, you know, I was drinking 6 to 8 ounces of water a day and it just became kindsies were like, "What is this stuff?" And I think they liked it. I do. So, uh, all right. They're still picking games and I'm just stretching. I I just missed everyone. So, I thought, what the hell? Let me come on a little early and let's see what we can do. We got zero drop frames. Everything seems to be working. Once we get the There's two things I need for the mega rig that I just ordered on Amazon and he'll be here tomorrow, which I'm not streaming for another couple months. But uh um to to all of my CANX, that's Canyon Exploration uh guides and people that I met there. They're going to tune in one day and they're lovely. I had the best time. I really really did. I I I just had the best time in the Grand Canyon. And anyone who has not been to the canyon, I can't say enough that you need to go. It's very spiritual for me. It might just be a bunch of rocks for you.

    All right. King Kong, Batman, and Jurassic Park. Do you want to go to King Kong? Let's go to King Kong. I'm going to go right back and let's
    13:33
    Thank you. Pin Laden. How are you? Pin Paladin, how are you? Uh, so let's see here. Where do we want to put it? Perfect. Yeah, that's perfect. King Kong, Batman, and Jurassic Park will be our bank of games that they will choose. And uh, that sounds really fun. So, I'm going to go help move this rig, get it going, and I'll be right back.
    15:33
    All right. So, King Kong looks pretty good on my screen. Is it a little tilt? I mean, it's good enough for government work. So, King Kong,
    15:48
    then uh Batman, and if there needs to be a third game, that'll be on Jurassic Park. Uh thank you, Pimple. Uh Grand Canyon is amazing, and I'm I'm happy to be back, but I could have done another few days, to be honest. I really could have. Uh, okay. So, let's get this set for you guys. I have to go to this screen. Check this out. And I can change.
    16:21
    Oh, it's not ready yet. That's why I can't put that up. It's okay. We're learning. Um, so just to let you know, and we could put the bracket up here. again. Uh, so we've got here, this is Jim Mueller versus Craig Hughes. And this is a really good match. Let's take Eureka away so you can see my beautiful face. Let's take this away. Here comes Craig Hughes. It got bent a little, but it's okay for government work today. Shake it off, Craig. All right. Craig owns a King Kong. Big fan of it. loves the new code. Was telling me about it earlier and uh let's see what he does. Oh no. Oh no. All right, Craig, shake that off, dude. All right. What what I have learned about this newer game and and help me Enzo, you just got one. Uh just landed in Australia. It is an outstanding shooter. Now, this guy's really tall, so we might not see his noggin, but we did. He's bending down for us. His name is Jim Mueller. Great pinball player. the skill shots a little tough. Um, you know, sometimes it's not as accurate, but it's not worth that many points, so it really doesn't matter that much. Um, what you want to do is is that bank by that upper flipper, left flipper, has shootable targets and he's doing some arrows and he's going to start a mode. Let's see what mode he starts and then I think he'll work on the uh drop targets and and go from there. But this is Saturday night at Eureka Heights. I am Jamie Burchil. Welcome to the JBS show. We've got a bunch of you joining soon and uh we're pretty excited about it. My wife ordered me some enchiladas or was it quesadillas, so I might be eating that on air,
    18:28
    Oh, it's good to be back to America, though. I mean, I was in America at the Grand Canyon, but it's good to be back to civilization, right? Like, it is the things that we we had no idea what the hell was going on. And uh it seems that we didn't miss too much, so that's good. All right. Can he backhand it?
    18:53
    No. That shot's hard. You know, these two shots, I'm gonna get my tele working. There's one of the blues. There's another one. Good stop. And you can backhand the gong. Oh, I wouldn't say the middle ramp is Rick and Morty bad, but it's not easy. Good bounce out.
    19:19
    Good flick. All right, here he goes. All right, probably up the middle. There it is. Island Arrow
    19:28
    getting his insect some drop targets. He's He's doing the things that you want to do on Kong.
    19:42
    Has anyone made a mod yet for the Pro? This is a Pro for the Spider. Has anyone made that yet while I was gone for two weeks? That seems like a no-brainer. If I had a 3D printer, that's a no-brainer for me. Right now, the gong, I think, is going to be tough. But I think the spider, that's a no-brainer. It's just a magnet. Going to try to
    20:22
    All right, Jim. Jim Mueller, one of the originals uh of Space City. He's been playing in our league for a long long time for the gong yesterday, but not the spider doctor. I I'm surprised at that, right? Because the spider seems to be the most sense. Ball on, one locked, one mil, cuz it's just a magnet underneath. It's just metal. All right. Now he's got the ball trapped up there. Doing some more cliffs. Thank you guys so so much. Thank you. Got some quesadillas here, which I'll eat in between.
    21:04
    Now, Craig Hughes wasn't so pumped about being uh on the stream, but if he's not pumped, you know, playing this guy won't get you pumped up. I mean, he's a very good player. Ball trapped. Let's see if he can hit that up. Good. I'd start a mode here, buddy.
    21:27
    I'd start a mode. Yeah, Dy. I I don't get it. That's a no-brainer. I I would print money with the the person. All right. He's trying to start a mode here under the gong. Good mounts. And he started a mode. That's what he wants, right? Okay, start the mode. Uh, save an good mode. Oh, no. This is paradal attack. And I would see if he's going to lock this ball right up the middle. Okay, he is. He's starting his multiball. And it's Now remember in the in the pro, you have to hit that right orbit. It is annoying. I don't like that they do that. Um, kind of wish they didn't have that, but I wish he just hit the ramp again. But here's Savan or Pterodactyl with the King Kong multiball. So, let's see what he can do. It's already at 40 mil. Just a little bit above Craig uses 150,000, but that's all right, Craig. Don't worry about it. It's ball one. Oh, ball added right in time. That was huge ball ad. God, I miss commentating pinball. We had this one raft uh we had this one um guide and she was training her niece to be a guide one day or just understanding the rapids and she was like commentating and I was in heaven and hers because she would tell you what she's doing before each rapid and stuff and I just was geeking on it. All right. Arrow award, drop award. That's five mil. That helps.
    23:23
    Good. Oh, unlucky gem. All right. Let it go. And a jackpot of 5.5.
    23:38
    Now, what does he want to do here? It seems like he Oh, no. That's a flipper fumble. Having both flippers up. That's That's not what Jim wanted. He's so tall. I can't get him all in the frame. Craig, perfect. Perfect height. Perfect height for streaming pinball on a double rig system. All right, there you go, Craig. Let's get these island arrows.
    24:07
    Use the dropping those targets. He knows how to play it. There it is. All right. What mode is he going to start?
    24:20
    Doing the pterodactyl. It's good cuz it's those two yellow shots and they're very they're very hitable. This one especially. No, that's it.
    24:35
    That out lane, it's like a mid lane. It's not really an outlane, right? But that mid lane is a pain in the ass.
    24:48
    And then after this, we're moving to Batman 66. And I love Batman 66. And let's see who's going to do the Egghehead strat because I think this is the best strat on the planet.
    25:08
    Island mystery. Let's see what we get here. All right. Hit your blue shots to qualify. There's one. There's two. Now he qualifies his mode. And great job. He's not trusting his backhand.
    25:47
    cuz you really by playing you really can't. All right, now he's see he's letting it go over. He's see if he backhands this because a lot of people can do it. No, it's hard on the pro. There it is. And he's got two times playfield rocking. Yeah, DB beat my favorite. I love Batman 66.
    26:10
    But if you go with my strat, it's dangerous. It's a ball one strat. It's egghehead all day, every day. It's about the egghehead. Two-legged multiball. There it is.
    26:31
    There. There. Boom. Easy path award. There's 2 mill. Oh, and he lost his multiball. There is a ball stuck. There it comes. Oh, and it just they both drained. Oh, no. He's okay. Still got the multiball.
    26:56
    You bought the Dark Knight. I love Batman. I don't necessarily love Adam West Batman. It's hokey, but it's supposed to be hokey and it's pretty cool about it, you know, like Egghehead and all these dumb villains and I actually like the new Batman, the Batman and with the Penguin Show on HBO. a geek on it
    27:24
    because it's really similar to the original the Batman video game Arkham Knight series that my boys and I played the [ __ ] out of on Xbox. Yeah, pin. Sometimes Enzo's just trying to go me and I'm not taking the bait baby. I'm not taking the bait from a kid. Not doing it.
    27:50
    All right. Great Stegosaurus encounter. 117. He He has good flipper skills, right? I mean, you could see it. I'm going to lean down because I'm a little tired from the canyon. Here, I'll lean down and I'll put this camera down
    28:23
    Yeah, Enzo, great video game series. Uh, I played them all. Played them all. Got all my Riddlers, got all my crap, you know. I just got addicted to that game. It's nice bump. Take your danger. You're all right. Just one warning. Got a letter collected. King Kong. And now we're starting a mode, right?
    28:50
    What's he going to do here? Save an he is I'll save an a lot of lot of shots lit. It's one I tend to choose.
    29:07
    There he goes. Save in 250. Save and 500. This is combo crazy, right? Because nice.
    29:20
    My two on the right side. There's one. There's two. Saving an big time. Gong awards six mil. Boy, he's doing he's doing the things. This is a tutorial, ladies and gentlemen. Joel from Triple Drain, eat your heart out. I'm joking. Joel from Triple Drain's amazing. Does that guy Does anyone know rules like Joel? It's It's uncanny, actually. Hey, Mike, how are you? Long Island Pinball Society. Great to see you.
    29:58
    I had a great trip and uh we'll catch up uh hopefully Thursday.
    30:21
    Nice bounce out. All right, left side. Will he do it? It's a tough shot. That left orbit from there is a tough shot, but you can do it. It's like you can do it. Come on. Here it goes.
    30:49
    Another warning. You got one more. Well, you don't have any left, but they're there for a reason. You got to use them. I played like [ __ ] today, ladies and gentlemen. Coming back from the game. I There he's going down the raft.
    31:13
    Nice B. Oh, that's what he wants cuz he's he's really rafting the rapids.
    31:25
    You're finishing your rig. Well, don't do a monster rig unless if you have a monster rig like mine. I made a few mistakes while I was gone the Grand Canyon and I screwed it up. So, we only have half of the monster rig today. So, we can only see the left side. But that's okay. We'll follow groups that pick left side games and then we'll just make the last group pick left side games. I don't want to hear it from them streaming. It's too important.
    32:12
    So this is dead eyee. I can't get it. I just can't get it. Using the tripod. Nice. You got a tripod on. Dead eyee award. He got it.
    32:45

    33:06
    his little touches. Jim consistently one of the top 10 in the state of Texas. That's no small feat. There's another ball too locked.
    33:23
    We're a big state. A lot of major cities here with Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Corpus, Houston
    33:41
    This has consistently been uh one of the longest shooting games that we have here at Eureka. It's averaging over 34 minutes a game. Uh it'll be interesting because it's only two-player game and we thought we could get this done in 15 to 17 minutes, but it's been going on for a while. But Craig Hughes needs a good ball here.
    34:05
    All right, he has the starter mode. He needs two more blue shots. Playing very loose and that's not really Craig.
    34:16
    You know, he's a pilot, so he's very, very measured. So, let's take it easy. Take a deep breath. There you go. Drop those targets.
    34:39
    One more blue, Craig. No, we haven't. We haven't lit that yet. So, we need one more blue. Or you should get your octopus, insect, whatever the hell multiball. That's not really bad. Oh, two more blues. Now, now it's lit. Get up over there. Okay, good.
    35:04
    Okay, comes back and take it. Get it easy. All we want to do is start a mode. Little mystery going in. Sneak in 1 mil.
    35:17
    It's making me nervous, Craig, because we want to got a letter. Island mystery. Give him something good. Spot him. Another king Kong letter. There we go.
    35:39
    Give me a good plunge here. Uhoh. There it is. Start a mode. Got another letter. Let's get these drop targets. And let's Who we saving? What are we doing here? This is the crossing one. And I had a tough time getting my boys across today. Uh I couldn't get them across the chasm and they didn't make it.
    36:05
    All right, let's go. Here's a blue shot for you right here. Oh no. Good save though. Oh, good bounce out. There you go, Craig. No warnings, no nothing. Ball one locked. 15 seconds added.
    36:35

    I know we don't have any game audio really because we got DJ Chris low today. So I tried to get you game audio but when the DJ's in the house it's uh I'd rather listen to DJ. We all know what Cons.
    39:14
    Ah, go in the gong quick. Nice ball added right in time. That's huge. Craig Hughes at 99 million. Let's go, Craig.
    39:31
    Okay, trap up and let's see what we're doing now. Let's let's take an assessment here.
    39:41
    King Kong multiball. Not terrible. I mean, five mil is not great, but he has Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I was just going to say just keep doing the shots. What a great ball three. What a great ball three. All right, I'm going to move this to Batman, ladies and gentlemen. Uh Craig Hughes lost the first round, so let's go to Batman and I'll be right back.
    41:28
    Okay, we're moving to Batman here. Uh, now Jim Mueller's got to go first. Uh, I think. Hey, Matt Quants, how are you? So, let's uh put on the overlay and look at the bracket. See how it's going here. Uh, Aaron Hernandez beat Luis Maldonado. He's moving on. This is game two of Jim Mueller versus Craig Hughes. Uh Craig Hughes has got to win this. Oops.
    42:00
    And that's all she wrote. So, this is my good friend Craig Hughes. And we'll see. Does he have to start first? I don't know. But we're going to find out. Now, let's see who does
    42:18
    Egghehead. It's all about Egghehead, ladies and gentlemen. It's all about Egghehead. Moving on to the Batcave, says Matty Quants and Party Party.
    42:31
    All right. Now, because he's the lower seed, he's okay.
    42:40
    Gonna bang some Joker. Now, I like these TV targets to the left. I don't really care about a mode right now. I I want TV targets. He's going Joker here. Needs one more Joker.
    42:58
    Two more Catwoman. Now, there's a trick here. I'm going to show you the trick. See Commissioner Gordon? Right next to Commissioner Gordon. Right on Commissioner Gordon. I don't have a teleprompter. All right. He started it. One more TV mode. That's TV. Now, what I would do Oh, no. Good save. You needed the danger. You needed the danger. Don't even worry about it. All right, go start your TV mode. Now, you don't have a gadget yet, and I would prefer if you had a gadget on Catwoman.
    43:33
    All right, ball unlocked. He's doing the things. I would get a gadget right now. I I I know. I was talk. This is what he wrote. [ __ ] He was talking. The The thing is, Matt, I want him to get a gadget before he gets egghehead. It would be really great. Move those things up top. There you go. Ah, it's
    44:00
    because the gadget on the He's trying. He's going to go Egghehead. I'm telling you, Egghehead's the way to go. Good save.
    44:14
    All right, I got to sit back here. The thing is when you start Egghehead, you got to have a gadget, right? So then when your timer goes down to about 10 to 15 seconds, you press it, hit that shot, and you get to keep all those points. Now ball saves over. The other thing that people don't do, and this is a Brian Krinvac move, is you got to use your left. You hold down when you before you plunge, hold down the left flipper and then rotate your PL your you can reduce the amount of shots it takes to qualify each mode. Now, he's got Joker going. Oh, he's got Catwoman as well. A lot of people choose Catwoman. He needs one more. Needs no has no gadgets, no gadget letters. Uh, definitely. There it is. Now everything is double. If he can hit the left orbit, he's going to go for it right here. There it is. Okay, now everything, all his Catwoman shots are worth more. Mystery two bonus. Would have loved the gadget there. Hey, Mike Flanigan. Great to see you. That's uh my buddy Mike Flanigan from Poison Girl and Little Dipper and Space City Pinball and the Houston Fire Department. And he went to the Grand Canyon with us and had a great time, but he had to get up at 3:00 in the morning this morning. And uh I hope you're okay. Yeah, speaking of Egghehead, Brian Kavak, but there is a special Batman move you could do now. He's just going. I'm just What I'm saying is this. Look at the points. 27 million. He hit mystery. He needs a gadget. 5 million. That's fine. If these guys don't do egghhead, I'm going to be so upset. All right. Gadget. Almost a gadget. Now get your little There it is. Now, what is he going to choose? A lot of people pick Shane.
    46:20
    It's a mistake because it's a two ball multiball and I know what he's doing. I like it. He because he doesn't have the gadgets so he might as well take Shane and get it going. I'm not a fan of Shane, but I'm a fan of the way this guy plays. I just think the two ball multiball is so fast you just All right, now he's got to light his TV again. You can get a billion points on Egghehead. A billion points. All right, mystery. Give him a gadget. That doesn't really do much for me. Uh, now he's got to light those two TV letters. He's really focusing on on Catwoman. There's an there's a
    47:20
    good save. You had to do it. Something that's not in my arsenal, right? That beautiful save like that. Oh,
    47:35
    1.8. See, it's I just think people spend more time. Hey, Ted Rubenstein, thank you so much. Great seeing you, brother. Uh, I'm gonna have to stream the Egghehead challenge and all we're going to do is Egghehead Matt Quants because Matt says I'm not really familiar with this. Anyone play Egghehead? I'll play the [ __ ] out of it. And the problem with Egghhead is it's 30 million or 350 million. And uh that's rub. Hey Aaron, you want to get on here?
    48:12
    I got a double bench set up. So, if you got to push this out a little, push this out a little. There you go, buddy.
    48:25
    Got a little bit of the cassadilla here. I Yeah, right here. So, this is where they can see you. So, get closer to me, I think. And now we're good. Oh, you're not leaving. All right. So, we're talking Egghehead here. Oh, yeah. Um, and neither one is doing it. He did Shane while he had uh Catwoman rocking. Uhhuh. And he just got himself a gadget. I am a huge fan of Egghehead. Tell me why I'm wrong. You're not wrong. Uh cuz it cuz Egghehead gives you it awards you points at your bonus. Super helpful. Um, I know saw earlier uh Jim had put up 1.7 billion points on uh on Batman earlier in the day and uh I forget his name, but somebody was trying to catch up to him and literally his bonus was like 500 400 million. Yeah. From Megad. Now he has to hit these gadgets because he's uh That's not TV. That's mystery. Give him a gadget. Nice. Those are nice for later. One more TV target to the right. Uh the lowest one. Hardest one to get. Sometimes you'll get lucky up a bank. Yeah, it's super hard because I usually But you see that middle spinner? Yeah. You see that car moving? This one is juiced like you've never seen. The lube they use. I'm not ser I'm kidding. I'm not I'm real serious. Yeah. The lube that they use it spins like a lunatic. And uh Aaron was kegghhead yesterday. That's what what Maddie wants to say. Me and Matt had a good time yesterday. Uh oh, there's nothing wrong with that. Um I just think you do egghead one and three. Those are the two that you want to try to do. Yeah. Okay. Um let's see what he does here. Hey, Quarter Drop. How are you? Great. Oh, sorry. How are you? Great to see you, Co. Um good to be back, man. I was in the Grand Canyon for two weeks and it's good to be back playing pinball. All right, get his super jackpot. Is he taking the 16? No, he's continuing it. Oh, yeah. No, he's continuing it. Yep. Right ramp. Nice little post catch. Backhand it. There you go. And honestly, I like the strat. I I really love I I love to do Catwoman on uh on Yeah, both of them did Catwoman first. Super easy. If you can, if you're dialed in on that left ramp shot, then the right ramp is He still has TV lit. I I like Egghehead here. He hasn't completed any of his minor villains. No. Oh, he did Shane. Well, Shane takes a lot. So, cuz But he didn't complete Shane. He just did cuz it would be it the the bottom of the where the uh major villains are on the bottom of the TVs. It would have been lit lit white for him to finish it, right? Yeah. It could have been just like a utility multiball he used it for. All right, let's see what he does here.
    51:37
    Nice egggh head. It's a done deal, pal. Now hammer that metal spinner cuz it's juiced. Yep. Let's see if he does it.
    51:51
    This is This is where Batman can get you right here. Yeah. It's the slings, man. It's the slings and he never got control to to show you why Egghehead's so funny. That's the hardest thing like for me on Batman is just getting control of the slings like cuz super hard. It's super hard. He was already on one or two dangers, so he's in he's in now Craig Hughes. Now, do you know the Batman super secret Brian K move to lower your shots for jackpots? Yeah. You flip in like when right before you plunge it, you can flip on the either the right or left. It's the left one. Yeah. And you can and you hold on the left flipper and Joker will come up and then you press right then the left flipper again. Right, left, right, left. And what you're doing is you're reducing the amount of shots it takes to get to your jackpot. Really? I didn't know that. I mean, I remember Brian telling me about it uh back home, but go to egg. He's going Shane here, which is not a bad move as your first one. Yeah, I feel like if you know it's not it's not a it's not a thing where he needs to get points. He needs to start like going in, you know, but I mean you can get Egghehead you with one massive spinner rip 100 million. Yeah, but he doesn't have a gadget list. So maybe that's why he's like I need gadgets. I need
    53:20
    All right. How'd you do first round? You did very well, I saw. Yeah, I was with uh Luis and we played Evil Dead first game. I went second. He went first. Ended up catching the uh the win on that and then uh Deadpool just barely got by. Um so I'm actually waiting for these two to finish their games to see if uh who I'm going to be playing against. Okay, so you're going to be playing the winner of the winner of this? Yeah, the winner of this game. Well, we might have to stay with that Aaron Hernandez.
    53:50
    The problem with the new rig is that we c uh we had some technical difficulties today coming back from the canyon and I had kind of had my head up my ass, Aaron. Yeah. Yeah. And uh we're on just the left side of the rig today. All right. Gadget. Here we go. Get control. No TV lit. That's fine. Okay. Okay. Egg. Egg. Do it. Come on. And you know it. All right. An egg grows in gas. Now people go pop bumpers, right? Oh. Yeah, man. That feed is scary. Bless it. It reminds me of like the Elvra like when you get into the pops. You know how it has that left or right? You want you want it to go to the right because it's a cleaner feed. But it's a cleaner feed and a lot of the times it'll jump into the penguin scoop. Yeah, the penguin. The penguin scoop from the back end. So that's nice. So, two eggheheads, two fails. Yep. Oh, that's could be Oh, ball save. Yeah, I see what happens, Maddie. I see. It's just
    54:57
    I don't know. It's just worth it sometimes. Now, if I'm him and I do get another TV guy and he's at 94, I do Egghehead 3. Really? Yeah. Get it all in bonus. Yeah. Are there different Do you know if there's like different uh like rule sets for each like minor character? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So the the first one is all shots. Okay. First egggh head and then the second one is orange shots that they give you and then the third is very similar but the second one's just not worth any points. Okay. So bypass Egghehead two. You want to go three. Go three. One and three. One and three. Okay. And then Shane, if you're there's a drain down the middle. Yeah.
    55:52
    All right. Yeah, this must be must be a tough position to be in right now. Um Well, yeah, you need you need 300 you need, you know, 500 million. How do you do 500 million? You either grind your ass off or you gohead or you go egghehead three. Oh, nice. All right. Real late. I think he's trying to go multiball. Okay, he's got two locked.
    56:21
    There you go. Control. There it is. There it is. This could be pretty good if you can. It can be pretty good, especially in a mode. He's still in Catwoman, right? Uh, yes. Yeah. So, he's still in Catwoman. Catwoman with the multiball is kind of hard to do. I would wanted to see maybe Penguin cuz you have I like Penguin but the damn crane guy he he'll screw up.
    56:50
    I'd like to see him light one more TV too. Like we're getting some nice combos here.
    57:08
    There it is. Shake it off. Eggghhead is lit. Let's go for it. Oh, good save.
    57:21
    And he's got gadgets. He's in good shape here. Wait. Uhoh. Uhoh. Nice. I just get so nervous with the slings, man. Have you ever tried Mr. Uh, clock the clock a bookworm and freeze. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, so it's fun to do at home, I think. Or you just put in quarters and playing by yourself. But in a tournament, I just don't think that's tournament strat. No. No. Definitely not. There's too much. There's too much. I mean, it is definitely high risk, high reward, but if you don't get it on the first ball, you know, you're you're wasting time at that point. So, what do you choose here? I think he's chaining. Okay. Just fine. And he just he needs to get, you know, he needs point. He's grinding. Yeah. My problem is when I've got this mountain to hurl to get to to to get up. Yeah. You want to be thinking about bigger payoffs. I'm thinking about as as big as I can get and I know Egghehead one is so big and then when I screw up Egghehead one, I get so disappointed Aaron. Yeah, I know. For sure. in myself.
    58:26
    Welcome to Eureka Heights. I'm Jamie Burch. Welcome to JBS show. I'm joined by Aaron Hernandez. Not that Aaron Hernandez. And uh he is on loan as an intern from Corpus. Yep. And uh we love that you're coming to our tournaments, dude. We love it. Thank you so much. You having fun with us? Yeah. I love to be here. You know, everybody's really cool. Yeah. We got a good vibe going, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Me and that's what me and Matt were talking about that I just love the community. Very welcoming. You know, once in a while an [ __ ] slips through the cracks. I feel like that's everything everywhere, you know. But majority of the people here are are pretty nice. Yeah, they're pretty nice.
    59:08
    All right, he's he's Let's see what mystery he gets here. More time. I think it's so funny that Craig has a low rider playing in the background as he's playing this very good. Uh DJ Chrislo is great, dude. Isn't he? Yes. Oh, I mean, I love DJ. I miss him so much. So he's choosing to grind. Yep.
    59:38
    That's dangerous. Right here. Nice. Good job catch though. Nice. People just don't know about Egghehead 3. Honestly, I didn't even either usually cuz I mean I never really play like the Batman in tournaments. So, it's just kind of like I didn't really know a strat for it, you know. Oh, good game. Sorry, Craig. Uh, and that's unfortunately all she wrote for Craig. Let's look at the uh standings, if you will. Um, let's see. I should have two things. I should have standing. Where are you out of here? Yeah. Yeah, I'm out of here. I'm going to be up right now. All right, buddy. Good luck. Thanks. Is standings working? Let's see. No, but bracket should work.
    60:35
    Okay, so Wesley Johnson is waiting. Uh, so he's up. Jim Mueller and you're waiting on um Kevin Feifer and Josh Mitchell, right? Yeah. I mean, the way that Alviv game's looking, I'm waiting on Josh to finish playing so they can find the game out. All right. What game you choosing? Uh, that's a good That's So, against Josh, I don't know. I got to think about that. Okay. I really do got to think about that. What do you like this format to end a tournament or is this You're here forever. Um, no. This is a cool format. I I've actually been saying we should do double elim for a while. Good. Like I I've been saying that actually for like years. good whopper points, right? I don't know. We'll see how the hell we'll see. I don't know how double elim works into the into the whopper calculations, but uh I just I think that double elim lends itself to finding the better player. Like regular match play is pretty good at that. I think double elim is is like you can't really if you screw up in a best of three and then you screw up in your lower bracket, like you just didn't play well. And whoever won won because they played well. They played consistently well. Consistently well. Y it's a lot different than just two or three rounds of a finals, you know. Yeah. And it's it's not one of those things where you can squeak by on getting a four one win on a best of three and a four player match play, right? Where you get a four and then like a one and a zero and you just kind of squeak by it. This you actually have to play and earn it. So, so we had a long talk about my Egghehead strategy uh on Batman 66. Yeah. And when they got Egghehead season 1, nobody did anything. Yep. Yep. What do you think about that as a strat? Uh only if I have multiball coming, I'll I'll stack it with Egghhead. Otherwise, I'm If it's or it's ball three and I think I need those points. If it's ball one or ball two, I'm probably going to try to go after the bookworm Mr. freeze thing. So, you really are going to go bookworm Mr. Freeze. I If it's ball one or two. Okay. Yeah. If it's ball one or two, I will. It's hard to do. Yeah. It's not easy, but if you do it, then you almost are guaranteed to win in a lot of ways. Bill, if you can get through Egghehead and stop and close stop that time. Yep. Yep. And then go to freeze. It is. What a great coded game, dude. Oh, yeah. Lyman. Love Lman at its finest. Right. It just at its finest. All right. So, everyone's gathering on Josh uh still playing. And I'll show you the bracket once again, ladies and gentlemen, uh to show you that Wesley is waiting for the winner here. More than likely is going to be Joshua Mitchell. Uh John Spates moves through. Jessica Dinardo moves through. Are they playing? No, we're all waiting. I think they're setting. No, I Nobody has to wait. That's the nice thing about the bracket. If your match is ready in the bracket, you can go ahead. It looks like John and Jessica are already playing Jaws, which is bad news for me cuz it's a right side game. Yeah. Uh can't go there yet. But uh and then Jim Mueller and Aaron Hernandez, have they started? Uh they might have cuz they're not here doing picks anymore or No. Well, no. Aaron's over there and Jim's here. Okay. It looks like maybe Jim is picking right now. Okay. Yeah. Wish we can get John Spates and Jessica Dinardo. That would be a great You need to convince Taylor to swap DN D and Jaws so that Jaws is on the left and D and D is on the right. Not now. Yeah, this won't matter anymore. I I got some stuff I just ordered from Amazon and we're in good shape there. We can get this off here. And uh sorry about that. Pin Latin doesn't like uh Egghehead. Doesn't know about that strategy. I I love it. I'm addicted to it. Yeah. Um because the spinners on this one are ripping and if you just get yourself a gadget and rip that metal Oh god, it's fun. Yeah. I mean, it's it's one of those modes where it takes a bit of work to get it going, but once you get it going, the points start rolling in. Oh, they do. All right, so they are on Scooby-Doo. That is an interesting gym pick. Should I go to Scooby? I mean, it is on the left, but you'd have We'd have to go grab the rig real fast. I'm not going to get there in time. I mean, you could They're quartering up. You could ask him to wait. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, ask him to wait.
    66:29
    let's go. Aaron Hernandez is ready. We're going to Scooby-Doo against Jim Mueller. Round two. Yeah. And uh Josh finally finished playing his ball, but now Kevin's playing, so still waiting on my group. It's fine. Uh I got you in the interim. Oh yeah. Why don't you talk us through Scooby? Because it's not a game that I'm really familiar with. As Matt Quant is saying, I trek through the Grand Canyon and Scooby-Doo 5t away is too far. Um, it's not a game that I seek out to play. It is uh it's one of those games that I I I don't want to say I have to play, but that is unfortunately the reality. I am forced to play this game. Yeah. But what I can say is I've started doing this whole Scooby snack thing. So talk us through Scooby snack and I'm gonna take a bite of this. Yeah. So those the two banks of drops on the left, there's like uh two three banks in a row there on the far left on the lower play field. You can set those as a skill shot. And if you hit it on your skill shot, it lights every lower shot as a Scooby snack. There's actually an insert for each one of those and you can collect them. And what happens is it gives you Scooby Stacks gives you two good things. One is it kind of like helps you in your modes when you're looking for clues. Um, but it also makes your modes last longer because the the modes in this game are based off your bravery meter and Scooby snacks increase your bravery meter. So by getting them, you both increase the scoring of the mode as well as give yourself more time to finish and play the mode. And then what happens is is if you can like if you know the shots and you can combo out with a few Scooby snacks. Uh that also has something to do with your shot multiplier for the the modes. And if you do a big collect as a combo, then you can get like 30 to 50 million if you set it up right. Other than that, I don't know much about the game. Like that's the thing. I do that and then I shoot blinky shots and then I usually will complain about why this person is getting like double my points for doing nothing where whereas I'm shooting lit shots and getting minuscule points. I lost to a brand new tournament player today. Yeah. So that's one thing. If you choose Scooby-Doo, if you get to choose Scooby-Doo, the left out lane has uh two lanes there because this is a widebody. And uh the way it works is if you light both of them on a drain, it's a ball save. So Jim, well, he didn't have to cuz he had regular ball saves still going. You see how he's got and he drained out the one that was lit. But had he flipped it to change the lane and made it say uh-oh, then he would have got a ball save on that left out lane. I'm going to finish this quesadilla. I'm sorry people, but I got Wesley in the house. Wesley Johnson all the way from College Station. Yeah. And it looks like it looks like Josh is done. Done. Yeah. Yeah, they're done. So, I'll be leaving in a second. All right. I'm going to eat this thing like rapid fast. Yeah. Uh but yeah, so Scooby-Doo. Interesting game. I probably should learn how to play it better than I do, but like like I said, I I don't know anywhere else that has one of these other than here. So, it's one of those things like I'm not going to put a lot of time and energy into it unless I feel like it's necessary. Uh, the other thing I guess I could say that's notable is you have mystery machine locks. So, the man, I don't know how how to even describe the shots on this, but the the mystery machine shot, which has like a round insert under it, you can get three locks there once you light them. But looks like I got to go. All right, Wesley, thank you for the snack allowing me and I will see you later. Good luck, buddy. Um, what's strange about Eureka Heights is the love that they have for spooky. Not strange, bad term, but they're going to do an entire spooky row here. And it's going to have Jetson's, Rick and Morty, Halloween, Scooby-Doo, and uh Evil Dead. Pretty cool. And they're on the search for Dominoes. If anyone can find a Domino's co I have I'm so hungry. The quesad is delicious.
    71:15
    I ate so much in the Grand Canyon. They fed us because we did so many things. I mean, it was constant constant hikes and sweaty. A lot. It was a lot. Aaron,
    71:34
    I think a Domino's here would be pretty cool. I mean, we have a Jetson's here and it's not the deepest game on the planet.
    71:53
    All right, Aaron with 7 million. Ball two. Aaron is a very good player, ladies and gentlemen. Taught by the greats.
    72:07
    I particularly Mark Thornton, who I I love much more than BK. I mean, Mark Thornton brings up BK. Anyone knows that.
    72:25
    All right, rocking a little David Lee Roth here. It's just not a game quarter. Really? Co says he still hasn't played Evil Dead. I'd be shocked if Evil Dead doesn't win a Tippy.
    72:42
    It's just one of the best games I've ever played. All right, up top you got that goofy staircase thing.
    72:51
    And a lot of people just don't know how to play the game. They don't like as Wesley was saying, just hitting yellow and blinky shots. Are you leaving? You want to get on
    73:21
    had to say goodbye to the wife. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Doobie agrees. Says Evil Dead is one of his favorite new games. I I think the game is just unbelievable. I think Spooky did just an amazing job with that game and kudos, you know, to follow up Um, what was their last game? Halloween. No, it was be after Halloween and Ultra Man. What was it? Who knows? You win. No money, but Pride on the stream. What was Texas Chainsaw? I got it. You guys took too long.
    74:03
    But the follow up from Texas Chainsaw, which is a fun game with Evil Dead.
    74:16
    It's hard not to love the Evil Dead topper. That thing scares the hell out of you. Like, if I was a fan of the Evil Dead franchise, that would be a game I would totally put in my house. I've never watched The Evil Deads, so I need to watch it so I can understand these call outs. But I'm also scared that I'm going to scare the [ __ ] out of my grandson who's n 20 months old, and the kid's barely talking as it is, and now he'll never talk if I put an evil dead in the house. Bye, guys.
    74:55
    Uh, once again, sponsored by Zen Chill. 6 milligrams, ladies and gentlemen, for you. They're delicious. Aaron having a good ball. 37 million.
    75:20
    Ball save. Yeah. Come on in. Ladies and gentlemen, Ted Rubenstein is going to join us. Put those puppies on. You got to stick this thing right in your mouth. Okay. You like it left? No. Posanada. Good. That's pretty good. I'm sounding hot tonight. Yeah, that's it. Your levels are good. Ted Rubenstein. Rubenstein. Steen is good. What do you go by? What do you What do you prefer? Ted Rubenstein. But the sickos on here might know me as Metat if you guys ever see me popping up in the chats. I watch all the tournaments and stuff. Are you what? Are you in the B division? Oh, no. Ok. Well, I was and I'm I'm now in the losers of the A. And the reason why I knew I have some time to chat is because I get to play the loser of Josh and Wes. Oh, fantastic. And that match is going to take a while. If you've seen them play, I have. Those guys are killers. And I will happily be destroyed by them in the loser. Let me ask Aaron a question here. I'm going to grab Aaron here. You keep talking. All right. talk about Scooby-Doo. What What do you like about it? Do you play what's your strategy in a tournament? Okay. I have a much better uh conversation because I know nothing about Scooby-Doo, right? Which is who who watched the IFBA World Championships in Austria on JDL. That was pretty good, right? I was in the Grand Canyon, by the way. JDL, what a channel he has, right? I love him. I'm always I'm a huge fan of gym. And it's so good for me because I work on a computer all day, so I just have a second monitor set up watching that stuff. Oh, what a You know, I I jokingly say he's a network, you know. No, he's great. And he's got his wife Dena's running around. He's the ultimate rig mover, right? Yeah. I I was fortunate enough to get to interview them and uh just Yeah. Oh, I heard that. That was good. That was a good interview. Thank But I wanted to shout out the Texas guys who went over there and played really well. Especially Garrett, I think, came in fourth, which is like everyone watching was like, "Wow, who is this guy?" We obviously know who he is cuz he kicks ass in Texas, but Colin was there and our very own Jack Rev did very well. How did Jack do? I haven't had chance. He I think he was in the 40s thereabouts. Didn't qualify for the finals. But the the coolest thing for me, and I even took a snapshot of it when I was watching it, was when Jason Zer was in the finals against uh one of the Swedish guys. There's like two incredible teenage Swedish players who were like in the top five. Uh they were playing Jackbot, which we play a lot of here, you know, Houston. Yeah. Yeah. So the the guys in Texas know it really well. And I saw Jason Zer was about to play and he was conferring with Jack and with Garrett of like, you know, I don't know what they were talking about. I assume it was strategy talk. Yeah. But it was really cool to see. They're over there in Austria playing, you know, the semifinals of the world champions and you got, you know, people I've I've seen before. It's really cool. So anyway, no, that is awesome. That's what pimp, you know, plus, you know, you want an American to win. Oh, I was pulling for Garrett. Oh, come on. Oh, and then Jason obviously pulled it out. And he won it on Creature, which is one of my favorite games of all time. Was he moving cars? He What did he do? I mean, he he blew it up like 10 Ways to Sunday. He moved the car. He did huge multiballs with, you know, doing the getting it in the in the Drano thing and getting 4x on whatever. So, it was it was awesome to watch. And obviously JDL did a fantastic job. So well congrats again to Jim and Dena. Nicest people on the planet. One day I will visit them and uh be on their stream. I would love that. They're so great. Yeah. All right. Jim doing the things. Jim now picked this game. That's why he gets uh he's the higher seed. So Jim picked this bank account. So I I did learn one thing from Liz on this when we were playing. She taught me if you get it up to the upper playfield, you have to hold down the left flipper, which gets the uh that little bookcase thing to keep the ball from going back down to the lower play field. Ah, if she hadn't told me that, I would have, you know, never done anything on the upper playfield. Actually, it was Don Don told me that. Don John and Liz are dancing. That's good. This is good stuff, man. All the fun stuff happens later on in the tournament. Yeah, especially here. John kicked my ass in the A finals. Oh my god. Mr. John Spades, the one and only. How's he playing against uh he we played in the first round of the winners bracket and he absolutely mopped the floor with me, which was to be expected. But
    80:24
    I'm going to ask Aaron a question here. They can look at my pretty face all day long.
    80:58
    Where the hell is Deadpool? Where's Deadpool now? It's all the way in the corner. Oh, okay. So, those are right side games. And because my rig is broken, I can only do left side games. So, we won't be following this group. No offense to anybody else here. There's a lot of great players, but the match we want to be watching is Wes and Josh. Yeah. But what game are they on now? I don't know. Maybe we can catch their second game. Yeah, maybe we can go over there. Let me go find out and you uh do your thing. You know what? I'll go find out from Josh. No, no, no. I have to go to the restroom anyway. You You hold All right. Hold the mic down. I'll be like the guy from uh from You watch a [ __ ] ton of these, Ted? I love it. So, you're addicted to pinball streaming? I'm addicted to all of this, dude. I'm designing fake pinball machines in my spare time. I know, dude. It's so awesome. It's a sickness. It's not a sickness. I was in Grand Canyon. Sickness with a thickness. It's a good kind of sickness. Converting people to pinball. All the Flagstaff people are going to Electric Bat in like a week. So, who's going to electric bat? All the guides that I had on the I want to go to spring training and mix that in with an electric bat tournament. Well, I'll go next year with you. Let's go. Yeah. Did the Yankees do it down there? No. Yankees are in Florida. Yeah. All right. I'll be back. All right, guys. Should I do the quiz like uh like the dude Serge down in uh Electric Bat?
    82:28
    How do I see the chat? That would be good to know. All right. Quarter drop. Is that you said you watch were you talking about the uh IFA final?
    82:53
    I guess it's called the Is it the World Championship? Do I have that right?
    83:02
    I do not have the only trivia that I know is not even trivia. It's like the most basic thing on this game, which is that if you hit it, get it to the upper play field through this uh little thing right in the middle. You have to hold down the left flipper and it what he just did, what Jim just did right there. See how he holds the uh bookcase? So, it's kind of uh it kind of tricks your brain a little bit because you you got it up to the upper playfield, but if you don't hold the left button, uh you can't keep it up there. Once it's up there, it actually moves pretty slowly. And there's even I don't know if you can see it on the stream, but there is a center post on the upper playfield, which I don't know if I've ever seen that in another game. So, there would be the Serge trivia. What other game, if there is one, has a center post on the upper playfield? Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Doobie, do you know the answer?
    84:08
    I certainly do not. Can you guys see the scores? Okay, looks like Jim is on 20 million and he's playing Aaron is on I can't My eyes are not I need my reading glasses. Damn it.
    84:32
    How many points does uh Aaron have? Ball two. Hey Aaron, how many points do you have? 54. He's got 54, folks. He's got a sizable lead heading into ball three. What's he going to do? I'll try to do a little playbyplay for you guys.
    84:58
    All right. Feeds it to the left into a shot. A Freddy skill shot for 10,000 points. Let's see if he can control the ball coming out of here. Okay. A little boop over to the left flipper. Nice into the spinner. Where is that going? Okay, he's got it down to the right. It's off to the left. I'm trying to do playbyplay, man, because I don't know anything on these rules.
    85:25
    You're doing great, dude. We We stumbled into a Serge, you know, the guy the Serge from uh Electric Bat. Yeah, he's got to be one of the best. He's like a Savant, right? No, no. Serge is is the best. I gotta I gotta meet that guy. I'd offered him a a one-way ticket to come to Houston and just live here. Listen, Serge, if you're watching, I'm creating a pinball game, a virtual pinball game that if everything goes right, will one day be so good that it needs to be made into a real pinball machine. And the way to make it so good would be to have an awesome rule set. So, I'm reaching out to Serge here on stream to say, "Give me a ring and give me some of your great rule ideas." That is awesome, right? Uh Valerie says, "Hello all the way from Corpus Christie." Hello, Valerie. Uh this Aaron's putting up a score here. Aaron is an awesome player, man. Now, I found out that I can't stream these next two games, so you're just getting a taste of this group, and then we're going to focus on Wesley and uh Joshua. That's going to be fire. So, here's the surge style trivia that we came up with for this game. Are there any other pinball machines that you know of that have a center post on an upper play field? Oh, good question. Right. This is maybe the only one that I know of. I don't know.
    86:54
    Justelle says, "Go Aaron." And he did. He did go. He went very well. Aaron is awesome. He's an awesome dude. I'm always going to root for the old guys because we need every bit of help that we can get. Yeah. I mean, Aaron has a great story. You know, he starts hanging out with the clowns down in Corpus Christie. They are clowns, but they're good clowns. They're good clowns. You know, clowns the left, jokers to the right, and uh is doing an internship here in Houston and has uh come and kicking our ass. Yeah. Oh, BK is like the wizard down there, right? He's teaching them all his tricks. So, Dr. Doobie wants to know, "Are you're making a VPX?" Okay. We got a couple questions about virtual. Yes, it is in VPX. Okay. And it is being This is going to be way over not of interest to anybody, but I'm using a program called Blender and this really awesome. It's all all this stuff is done by free in this community. Uh, so people can enjoy these recreations. But if you're making an original, you can build it in this 3D program called Blender. And then you can render out all of the different light states so that it looks really realistic when you bring it back into Visual Pinball, which is VPX. Anyway, it's I should spend more time working on my business to be quite frankly quite frank. But all right, why is he pinning down here? What's going on here? Need a ball search? The ball's lost.
    88:28
    Matt Quants is being funny here saying just that uh he already forgot everything that you taught him. So that's not good. Dude, Matt is one I got to shout out Matt. He is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. There's a lot of friendly people in pinball. Matt the top of the pops. There it comes. All right. Flips over the left. Uhoh. Nice dodge. Ah, that nudging is so good. I got to shout out uh as I've been trying to do uh you're doing a lot of shout outs here. I love shouting people out because Colin McAlpine I think is the best playbyplay announcer in pinball. There's a lot of great commentators, but he could watch this and say, "Okay, he's going to the left. He's doing that. He's thinking about this. He's going to do this." It's like when I have Colin on stream and he's snail man on Twitch and and I don't know what he is on YouTube. You're right. Um he's tough to beat. You know, I I like it's like Chick Hearn if you got the old I I think my job is just to these are goofy, right? But when I stream those major tournaments, I try to get out of the way. I won't be in your You know, I try to get out of Colin's way. I try to get out of Wesley's way. Yeah. And I'm just Wes is unbelievable. Wes is great. I was just complimenting him like, dude, one of my faves. Yeah. And uh Oh, all right. We got a multiball going here.
    90:11
    Did he run him down? I can't read those scores now. He was playing the wrong ball.
    90:23
    You know what? The same exact thing. I feel a lot better now. That That's terrible. But I was playing against John and he won an extra ball and I played it and I got him about 20. All right, Ted. Give me a second. I got to move this monster here. I'll be right back. Go for it. Go for it. I'll hold it down. I'll talk more ver who wants to know about virtual pinball.
    90:58
    What is What is Hex girls band pin paladin? What is that? I'm going with Raven. That must be a reference to uh Dirty Pool Pinball, right? That guy's awesome. How hard was the Blender toolkit to learn? Um, fairly difficult. I mean, I I taught myself Blender to be able to do this, and that is a pretty steep learning curve. I I am an architect. So I am working with 3D programs all day long. So I have a a good working knowledge of like building things in three dimensions and rendering and applying materials and UV maps, all the stuff that you need to do to make a good looking 3D model. But the toolkit, I mean, there the cool thing about it is that there's just a lot of people out there willing to help because it's all free. It's it's it's a community. No one's trying to make money off of it to my knowledge. Um, it's all really just done for the love of pinball. And for me, like I have a high speed at my house. Uh, a real high speed, but you know, I want to play all these games. So, I built a little virtual one so that I could I can play Star Trek Next Generation. I can play, you know, all the older games I can play because they've been really beautifully reated. You know what? I just realized you didn't need to see all that. I could have just went like this. Oh. Oh, you put your big face on there. Yeah, that looks good. That looks good. You know, put a little I should have shaved. I should have shaved. I just came out of the river and didn't shave the [ __ ] You're looking good. You're Kodiak. You're Kodiak Jamie tonight. I am Kodiak Jamie tonight. Um, okay. So, unfortunately Jim played the wrong ball. So, Jim's going to lose that round. They're moving on to something that I can't stream and we have to do one of these here, buddy. That's what I'm here for. Uh, because we are waiting on Josh and Wesley to play Star Wars, which could take forever. But then they're gonna move to uh What happened to pinball? You're right, man. I am sorry. We're just entertaining you. What are you doing? You going through a VPen wormhole here? Is that what's happening? No, that was that's done. Okay. I agree, Dr. Doobie. It is a ton of fun. We're going to get What? Jamie's already promised to come over. They've got a personal invitation to my house to come play my virtual pinball cabinet. I can't wait. Honestly, I have to go to your house and I'm I have to go to Oh, my house is so good. Russell Shrew's house. My house is so good. Wait a minute. Do Do you know um I have someone that knows you? Oh, likely. Do you know Miles Miles Hood and the Hoods? Christine Hood and her son Miles. No, I don't know the Hoods. They went to um Christine son Miles went to Emry Weiner in Houston. Oh, there could be a Jewish connection there possibly. Oh, okay. All right. Maybe we all know. Oh, you know what? Mine there was a Rubenstein uh facility that's not related to me. Well, you blew that. You could have said, "Yeah, that's my grandpa." Yeah. Uh I can play virtuals. I would love to play some virtual pinball. I think that could be a lot of fun. Right. The point of it for me is not to replace this because I it's not the same, but we're trying to get it as close to real as possible so that you can simulate like playing some of these games. And I mean, well, you know, Travis Hannah, top 20 in Texas consistently has really grown and top in my heart. He's so lovely. What a dude. Uh started playing virtual. Yeah. You know, that was just All right, let's show you guys the scores here, uh, of who's moving on. We got Wesley and Josh Mitchell. They're on their first game at Star Wars. I can't stream that, unfortunately. Jim Mueller, Aaron Hernandez. Aaron takes a one lead there. John Spates beat Jessica Dinardo. So, John is into the round three. Uh, Grayson and Kevin are going at it right now. John's on fire tonight. Yeah, he doesn't want to come on stream. Oh, that's he doesn't want to come on stream. That's the motivation. Well, I don't think he wants to come on because I think he wants to, you know, he's in a zen mood. He's Yeah, when you're in the losers bracket like me, you can uh just goof around and not Mike Flanigan has something interesting. Oh, I love Mike. What's up, Mike? Oh, sorry, Mike. Mike is Mike says, "Looking at the playback, Aaron lost his ball. End of ball bonus happened, but the game didn't say ball save. Extra ball. Shoot again. Also, their game didn't show what player was up. Game might have glitched. I kumba. Oh no. Well, that's unlucky for them, right? Well, if someone had been streaming it, we could have seen what had happened. You know, we were talking someone was talking virtual pinball and it took us down a little. What did I do? It's all right. I've destroyed the sanctity of the I don't know how to uh do the replays on this new box yet. This thing is unbelievable. Isn't it unbelievable? I'm going to get one just to have it. I don't know what I'd do with it. Maybe mount it on my on my wall in my office. So, the issue that I had was I had too many things plugged into this cheap USB charger and it wouldn't charge all of all six of the Axons. Oh, yeah. You're really pushing it there. I'm pushing it as it is. So, I bought What do you need? Let's give a throw it out to the What do you need, Jamie? What would make this better? Even better. What if the yolo box would let me do right on the screen so that I can draw a little mustache? No, I I just want Yeah. Uh, you know, to have Yeah. the pen where I can draw on the playfield. Uh, thank you, Valerie.
    97:28
    VPins again. All right, let's talk VPins. Why not? You brought us down this whirl. Yeah. Tell Jojo what he should be doing. I mean, he's absolutely right. So, what I You can always play on your desktop. The easiest thing if you just want to download Visual Pinball, you go to the best website to get this stuff is called VP Universe, I think is what it's called. And uh check out the uh the VPIN workshop. Those guys do, in my opinion, the most realistic recreations. Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to play any of the new Sterns because they have not given permission, okay, to do anything past like Game of Thrones, I think. So, you're looking at 2015 and before if you want to play, man, Stalin, I I made my own version of Quicksilver, which you can check out. I think I did quite a nice job. Uh, and I did the first table I made was a tribute to the wormhole, which was Warlock. Oh, yeah. Super rare. So, like, how you going to ever play Warlock in real life? You can't. You're not. Yeah, you're not. So, yeah, go download it, try it out if you like it on your desktop. I I might put out a whole manual on how to build your own cabinet that's as realist like I've got basically the sound feedback actually vibrates the wood of the cabinet. So when you hit bumpers you're feeling it and hearing it like it's a machine. So that is fun. So pin uh Paladin says Zen FX. Yeah, you know I haven't tried that. I agree. The the thing with it since it's free, Visual Pinball, it's like a 20-year-old program that just keeps getting crowd. I don't know what the programmers call it, but there's some brilliant programmers who are like, I would assume professional. It's what they do in their real life that they've dedicated countless hours to updating this program, to creating the Blender toolkit, all of this stuff so that we can have our, you know, free virtual pinball game. So, it is a bit of a hurdle to set up visual pinball, but if you search around and ask people the right questions, they'll guide you uh to the right place. There's some uh Discords you can check out. if you have Discord. I had no idea what Discord was, but to learn more about this community, I got uh into Discord so that I could just ask people directly who are doing this stuff. I think there's like a VR pinball discord. You can What about Pinball Popper? Pinball Popper. Yeah, I agree. That's sort of an all-in-one installer that that a guy named Nailbuster made who's a brilliant programmer who does this stuff for fun. And Dr. Doobie says, "Yeah, the baller installer." I agree. Go for the baller installer. Are we putting people to sleep with us? Hell no. No. These are sickos.
    100:41
    All right. They're still playing Star Wars, ladies and gentlemen. So, hang with us. Here's here's the payoff for sitting through the virtual pinball tab. You're going to get to watch two of the best players in Texas go headtohead. Josh Miller, Wesley Johnson. You know him, you love them. They're going to be duking it out on is it going to be Star Trek? Yeah, they're playing one of the best games of all time. So, let's put them on Star Trek and I will tell you who won round one so that we have who's fighting for their life. Is that looking okay? Hey, Josh. Josh, I'll go. I'll go.
    101:19
    I mean, if you want to learn how to play pinball, you just watch these guys. It's unreal.
    101:32
    It's very humbling pinball, don't you think? Oh, Matt, I got to get on the Space City Discord with you. We just fire rocket emojis at each other. Okay, Wes is up 10. He won. Wesley won on Star Wars and now we're going to Star Trek. Uh it's a lot of Star themed pinballs. You will and then Rick and Morty if there will be one. And you're playing the loser of this group. Yeah. So I'm getting a sneak peek of my competition here. It's Yeah, you are. All right. Here we go. It's kind of an unfair advantage. This one was at the wormhole. So anyone that came and played at the wormhole are very familiar with how this particular copy plays. Um, now let's see. Is he going to light his lock? I think he is. Yeah, absolutely. He's lighting. If Wes doesn't light his lock, he's he's fooling around. And here he goes. Lock is lit.
    102:31
    I love this dumb song, dude. Everything's coming up roses tonight, man. All right, 2x. Now, watch this ball control that he has. Look at that. Boom. Let's go, West. Put up a big one.
    102:53
    Okay. Now, what is he going to do here? Go for the Oh, I thought he was Now, let's see if he skips over and he keeps doing that because a lot of people do that. Interesting. So, what's the proposition for going for the ramp instead of the lock shot? Uh, I think he's trying to go for the lock shot, but if you can keep comboing that ramp and then let it ski over uh is worth points. My basic strat for this is what he just did there for the right flipper and then going now I think he's going to lock a shot here. Let's go. Lock it up, West. Hey, Rush Jet. What's going on over here? What's going on is that we're watching. There it is. Lock two is set. Okay, it's good. It doesn't have to actually go into the ship. I guess now I've played with a lot of people that are mission crazy, too. and might, you know, start a mission now, then lock, then get the uh But yeah, the old stack. But look, I'm going to do what Wes does because Wes is really good at pinball. All right, he's got two two locks. Advance his rank. Command decision. Choose flippers. What? What mission we're going to choose here? Looks like he know. Oh, shadow wormhole it is.
    104:08
    Left ramp. Well, you're just going to right ramp the hell out of it and left orbit. Uh oh. There is one side ramp. He didn't find that side ramp there. He hits that 465. Nice. There it is. That's 54. Did he get it? Warp jets million. I think he hit that little thing instead of going up. Oh, my face is covered by this logo. Oh, we can't have that. No, you know, it's rookie. You know, I'm making a lot of rookie mistakes, dude. It looks so good. All right. Well, he didn't have a good cavern. You know, I think you're too hard on yourself. Just coming back from the can. Oh, good save. No, that out lane is brutal. And he's safe. He took the Oh, he's got double. Let's go. Oh, he tilted on his ass. No, really. Come on. No, no, he got multiball. He's got He's on double danger. I was like, that didn't look like it. All right. You see a lot of people lean into this. You get that shot. You got to get right in there. Close your left eye and just lock it in. Here it comes again. Can he do it again? Oh, little. That's okay. He's in multiball. Still in it. Okay, now he's just going to fire. Just keep firing that center. Here's one, two, three. Here comes the big money, guys. 91. See if you can do it again. Four. No problem. Four in a row. Here's five. Five in a row. I guess it starts over, huh? You have to get out. It's 45 million. Here's another one. See, I'm not good enough to know if it starts over, right? It's not amateur hour now. I'm Am hour back, but Wesley is doing it. All right, Matt, take it easy. Oh,
    105:58
    still in the multiball. Oh, not anymore. Oh, yeah, he is. No, he's still good. Spinner value. 71 million. One. Oh, 700. 700 million. Yeah. Excuse me. See if he can get that. Oh, just missed it. Now, once you're trapped up, I'm curious. Is he going to go right back? Yeah, right back up to the middle there. Oh, he missed it.
    106:23
    All right. Right. Right orbit. Right orbit. Left orbit. Wrong left. The other left. Oh. Okay. Go up the middle real quick. Get one quick. Nice jackpot. Yeah. One for the road. All right. So, 46 million for the road. That right out lane is nasty. That's terrible.
    106:47
    Combo. Yo, just rejected the ramp. He's going to go for it again.
    106:54
    Okay, so we got multipliers are held. I think he's going for the combo ramp, but he he'll take that shot, too.
    107:04
    8 million, 12 million, 15 million. That's not bad. Oh, that is bad. Really good ball, B. He's happy with it. Hey, put up the little JDL hand clappy. Oh, I got to hydrate. Hold on. My um Matty Quan thinks it's funny because on Twitch I used to do hydrate. Oh yeah, but I'm drinking a lot more water than the Diet Coke now. Well, speaking of hydrate, it's July 5th for the record books. So, did you have too much alcohol last night and too much coffee this morning? Cuz I know I did. No, I just got back from the river. So, Oh, yeah. I' I've been clean. You're like all fresh and healthy, man. Yeah, I've been clean living for 14 days. Arizona lifestyle. Block two is lit. See if he can sneak one in there. Once in a while it'll come up from the pops and sneak in there. Okay, here he is. Let's go. Josh. Josh. Josh needs Josh's a good player though. All right. He's a very good player, but he needs a big one because do you start a mode and then get in the Oh, let's see what he does here.
    108:08
    That's a lot of pressure when you know that this could be your last game, right? Well, you know, I wonder if each of them says, "Oh [ __ ] I gotta play Wesley. Oh [ __ ] I gotta play Josh." Right. They're both good players. What they're thinking is, "If I lose this, I have to go up against Ted." Yes. That's what they're thinking. That's what they're thinking. I played like absolute garbage today. All right, start a mode. Asteroid threat. Let's go. Oh, thank you so much. Always a pleasure to see you, Victor. One of the friendly dudes, Victor. Barrel's a fun employee. Tried to backhand. I would not a good shot. 10 million. All right. But what he needs to do is get to multiball now. It would be perfect. And he's not going for the lock shot. That's a different strategy. Well, he's got 10 million every time he hits one of these shots. Yeah, but Wes has like 750 million. Yeah. So, you got to hit 75 10 million shots. I mean, why is 50 million? All right. All right. The lithium crystals, which God only knows what the hell that is.
    109:20
    I should not question Josh. No, he knows what he's doing. But I would just do what West did. Well, he's got one more lock.
    109:31
    All right, that's the mode over. He's happy with tried to backhand start a new 850. Yeah. Ay. Not what he wanted. Shake it off. Now, what Wes is thinking right now is Wes is a friendly guy, but what he's thinking is I'm going to bury his ass right now. Now, let's see. Light lock. What does he choose here? Warp factor 4. I think he goes start mode. No, I my guess is go back to light lock. Light locks. The same old We'll see. Hobby horse right there. Light lock cuz he knows. All he has to do is hit that shot a couple times and he's back into making. Yeah, he should pick egghehead. That's block two is lit. I told I told Jamie earlier today I'm egghehead build. Whoa. See you. Hi, Kevin. I am egghehead pilled for sure. Oh, I love egghehead. We were talking about it in Nothing better than talking about a different game. We were in depth talking about it when we got to see it. All right. Now, let's see if he moves this over cuz he got 5 million there. And if he Now he's at 10 million. Now he will ski jump it. Let it slow down. And this is worth 15 million. Oh. Oh, good save. Oh, was that a laz or would you just sort of dug it out? Good. Just dug it out.
    110:52
    All right. Hollow deck three is ready. He's got a nice little ski jump going there. Trouble, but he's good. He's Oh, nice little bumperoon.
    111:04
    That is scary. That's scary. Command decision is let nice. All right, take the 20. He's not He's going to traverse this maze. No, I always take the 25 left, left, right, right, right. I can't remember that, dude. I smoked in college. And now it's left, right. Oh yeah, he knows this. He's the king of video games. I can't I've never gotten this far. Oh 9 million in the caverns. But a nice simulation run of 109. That's why you don't take 25 when you know it. Josh is starting to pucker right about now. I don't know, man. These guys are so good. Josh is like I agree. I bet you Josh isn't even watching. Let's look. He's not even watching. He's pretending not to watch. He's talking to Jim. But you can see 63 million there. Here comes another multiball. It's is all about multiball. And he's just nailing that shot. Two times jackpot. 147. FDIC insured, my friend. This is the jackpot. He's money on this. That's three times jackpot. Let's see if he does it again. That was 250 mil.
    112:22
    And there's another one. Can you imagine if you knew Wes just in regular life and didn't know anything about the pinball that like there's this killer player just you're hanging out with sitting underneath them. Unbelievable. Yeah. Wow. 251 right there. Skills, the patience, the talent.
    112:47
    Another jackpot. Three times. 251. He's a two. Yeah, I think there's a little bit of a pucker guy. Should we put a uh You could do a How do they do those u the poles? Yeah, I can't do poles. I'm just kidding. I'm just But we need a pucker pole. Oh, that happens once. We made it this far without that happening. So, if you're ever here's a PSA. If you're ever at Eureka Heights, do not sit on the end of a bench because it will flip over on you. That's right. It's so tempting to sit on that end of that bench. Don't do it. Got to sit in the middle. Got to sit in the middle, folks. All right. It's a beautiful thing. It's right up the middle here. And then left orbit. Oh, he missed that. You're okay. Left orbit. Left orbit again. Three times jackpot. God, he's killing it. 2.8. It's funny. It's funny math at this point. Yeah, now it's getting 1.7. See if he can get that middle again. Oh, he's right there. Look at the patience. I'm not feeling so good about my 600 on this anymore. No, 600's not going to get it done against these two right up the middle. He's He's He's a little late on early on it. Let's see if he adjusts.
    114:11
    Three bill. Let's see if he goes on the fly. He gets it. Gets them both. three times jackpot just like he's saying I I didn't even know I was this good. He knows he's this good. All right, left orbit. The thing about multiball on this game is you really need to play controlled because if you start flailing around this it's not like a stern 3.3 bill start a mode or is he just going to do multiple? He's okay. I thought he should have just let it drain and just looked right at Josh like think you think you're better than me, huh? No, I don't think you think you're better than me. I don't think these guys talk trash. I talk trash to John. Yeah, we need to bring back trash talk. Trash talk is fun. Uh I just don't have the game to to back it up, you know? That's that's when you have to get even better at trash talk. True. Yeah. True.
    115:12
    All right, he's in multiball. Let's see what he does. Uh yeah, we were fluffing you pretty hard, Wes. That was pretty good. Wesley came over and wanted to know what we thought of his performance and what we thought was You can go watch it back. Okay. It was excellent. All right, Josh.
    115:47
    Oh, and he lost one, but he got one for the road. Got a jackpot for the road. 41 million. He's shaking his head cuz he knows he's got a little mountain to climb. Oh, it's ball too. Okay, so Wes is gonna have to All right, he's going to traverse the maze, ladies and gentlemen. Let's see. Wesley got 108 million. But I think these guys have memorized this in the middle. Back down. Now he's going right in the middle. In the middle. In the middle. Right again. And
    116:27
    oh, an ice chip. 50 million. 9 million. 109 as well. Very nice. I got to watch me figure out what that is. I don't know. I got to say I like Star Trek the show more than the whole Star Wars franchise. Really? The original Star Trek? Well, I'm a Next Generation. I mean Oh, you like Next. I grew up in the 80s 90s. And he got Sling Town to the massive left outlet. All right, Josh. Just got to hang on because Wesley can put up another building. Wesley's gonna play for half an hour now. Oh, so he's light hollow deck or start mission. What is he going to choose here? A lot of people light hollow deck. Oh, he's doing warp pack. Yeah, I see. Cuz he's bored. I think if he was if this was uh you know if uh world champs, he's going for back for the locks now. He could ski jump. Oh, he's not doing that. Doing spinner jump. Warp Factor 4 return lanes are lit. That's huge. There you go. Rush Jet TV. Yeah, I'm Trek over Wars, too. Come on. No one except the three last pre the last. Oh, that's fine. Thank good. I mean, I don't want to root for a drain, but thank goodness cuz I got to play the loser of this match.
    117:57
    I'm yawning. When did you get back? Uh, Thursday, late afternoon. Friday, we flew in yesterday. I woke up at 700 a.m. this morning for no reason. Yeah. Just I'm so used to waking up at first light that I wake up every day at 4:30, 5 in the morning in a can. I used to do that just in a canyon. All right, Josh, you know what you have to do. Let's go, Josh. Q's challenge. Q's challenge is good. Three billion. No problem.
    118:45
    Oh, no. That's too bad. No, we don't want it. We don't want it to end like that. Unlucky. All right, Wesley's moving on. I am Jamie Bertram. I'm joined by my friend Ted Rubenstein. And uh we are at Eureka Heights, the quarterly tournament, the new quarterly month uh quarterly first Saturday. It's so good that we're rotating from NASA to now Eureka Heights. Then we're going to be where? I heard it was and Gandalf's I think Gandalf is the next one. I think I'm going to be out of town unfortunately. So that should be fun. Uh you are uh we are at this joint. at Eureka Heights and you are watching the JBS show and uh let's put the bracket up if that's okay. Let's let's see who's back in there. Let's see what's going on here in the bracket. So John Spage, Grayson Turner. Uh let's go see. And then Aaron Hernandez is Wesley. All right, y'all. I'm gonna sign off because I'm gonna go play my loser match. Hey Aaron, thank you guys. Um, you know, Ted, you're the best, man. I appreciate it. I'll talk to you soon. Jamie is a good dude, right? Yeah, absolutely. He shouldn't be so hard on himself. Oh, well, you know, I strive for perfection, young guy. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good. Thank you. But my father always told me that's a nice one. All right. All right, Aaron, you are uh you have moved on and I'm going to show the bracket here. You are playing Wesley Johnson and who gets to pick the bank of games? Who gets to pick those games? Wesley. All right. So Wesley and Aaron are picking games and then Grayson and John Spates. So if you give me a second, I'll be right back and we'll tell you what is happening.
    123:11
    All right. So, we've got the Bgroup and I'm going to throw the stand bracket up back up for you. Uh Wesley Johnson and Aaron Hernandez are going to be playing King Kong, Batman, and Jurassic Park again. Uh Grayson Turner, John Spates are playing Deadpool, King Kong, and something else. So, we're going to stay with Wesley and Aaron. They are waiting for a B team, the B group to play. And that's okay. No worries. I wonder how we could get underneath this and look at this. N we can't. So, ladies and gentlemen, how are everybody? Uh, sorry you missed him, Dr. Doobie.
    124:08
    But welcome again to Eureka Heights. I'm Jamie Burchil. We are in the finals. I've been here since 11. I just got off the Grand Canyon and I'm a little tired. Uh there's a some a phrase in the Grand Canyon called Snap Canyon. Uh what is Snap Canyon? What do you mean you don't know what Snap Canyon is? It's a bad dumb dad joke. And I was there last the last night I I hit Snap Canyon. I wanted to come home. I It started raining on us. The river turned a little brown. It It was a [ __ ] show. And I am so happy to be home. Uh it is it's so exciting. I missed pinball so so much. I really did. While we're waiting, why don't we just show you the Bgroup with Jack Schiffer and kind of get a preview of Kong a little bit and take this off. Kind of get a preview of Kong for
    125:14
    Wesley. And now this is a really dead eyee is an is such a hard shot that Oh, he almost had it. There it is. There's dead eyee. Now he's getting deade eyed. I can't even hit one. And he's hitting two, three, threex. One more dead eyee would be really cool, Jack.
    125:40
    There it is. Dead eyee award. Oh, he's just killing dead eyes. Got a replay.
    125:53
    So, we don't know where Jack lives. We just see him here all the time, I'm assuming. And I know he has a wife, uh, who's lovely as well, but we only see Jack here and we see him here all the time. So, I don't know if he lives here, lives next door, or is just absolutely in love with the joint. But, uh, if you look at the leaderboard here, the Stern leaderboard, uh, it's all Jack. That's just what Jack does here. Hey, Russia. Thank you, dude. Uh, I'm really excited to be back. I I I love pinball. I love streaming. And, uh, the fact that we were able to get the mega rig to workh, it's so exciting. You know who I miss? Donovan Wade. But it was his birthday the other day and he's probably taking a break and he's on summer break. So, we're going to give Donovan Wade a little bit of a of a break. All right. All right. You still got ball save on.
    126:55
    Oh, you were there yesterday. Oh, yeah. I'm telling you, Rush. I'm telling you, dude. He's always here. Save an. And now he's starting uh King Kong Multiball. So, this is what we're going to see if Wesley can do this.
    127:26
    I'm going to give you while this is going on, I'm going to go give you an update on the scores of uh Grayson versus John Space.
    127:37
    How is the music? Can you hear the music at all as well? Because I know you can't hear Kong. This all you would hear would be just amplified music from DJ Chris Low. It's why I took the sound off there.
    128:07
    All right, I'm going to leave you for about five minutes. Uh, I'm gonna find out with John Spates
    128:19
    what's going on over there. And uh, I will be back. I'm going to leave the sound on so you can kind of hear. You can kind of hear it when I talk, but it's not an issue. All right,
    128:32
    I'll be back. Enjoy, Jack Schiffer. This is a little B-group. It's a little uh, we're just having fun with it. [Music]
    131:40
    I kind of like this. I can Hey, Colin. How are you? Okay, so they're not going to wait. They're going right to Batman. I think that's a smart smart move. Go to Batman while there's a log jam. I like what he's doing here. Wesley's a professional rig mover and uh he's outstanding at it. I trust him. I believe in him and he's going to rig. He's going to move this rig where it needs to go. There he goes. Look at that. Batman, we're gold. All right. Hey, Churish. How are you? Uh, welcome to Eureka High. I'm Jamie Burchil. This is our Saturday quarterly tournament. Big event. 54 players. We should have had 70, but so many people on summer break and uh for the July 4th are out of town. So, very happy with uh the amount of people that came today. We've got the semis here with Wesley and Aaron Hernandez. Uh Wesley out of College Station, Aaron out of Corpus Christie by way of Houston, Texas. The Yankees suck, but the stream looks good. Thanks, bud. I know the Yankees suck. I It's because I went away. They were playing good. I went away. I'll tell you a story. I wasn't allowed. We're not allowed. All right, they're starting. So, I'll tell you a story later.
    133:23
    Let's see what he's doing here. Let's see what he's doing. All right. A lot of people start with Catwoman. We've noticed that from multiple players. Now take the 1 million. Now backhand the scoop. The penguin scoop. Done. Now let's hit that left orbit. Watch this. Done. Okay, now shots are doubled. Now he's going to ramp it out. Oh, good save.
    134:00
    And Catwoman can be very lucrative. Right now, I'm not as good a player, so I only focus on Egghehead. That's all I do. But this is a very good player. So,
    134:19
    let's see if he goes back to the ramps. Nice pass over. All right, he lit the the Riddler multiball. Oh, good save. One danger. It's not going to kill you.
    134:36
    All right, mystery is lit. Whole bonus. That sounds nice. No gadgets, no TV. He's just ramping it out. It just seems like a lot of shots. Back to mystery again. You want that gadget? Get that G. And then let's hit some TV. Let's hit some TVs. Nope.
    135:11
    He is ramping out. All right. Does he collect or continue? He collected and said, "I'm out of here."
    135:33
    We have a uh someone rooting for Aaron here. Turish. Turish. Tish. No idea. No clue.
    135:47
    Oh, we're really playing some good music here.
    135:55
    Johnny Spates is dancing. I should show them to you. to the bigger the bigger the beat. All right, Wesley fixing cameras for me because he is the master at this. He is a master certified rig mover. I certify all my rig movers. I only allow the best to move the rigs, especially the mega rig. Wesley happens to be one of them. All right, so what you got to do is hold your left flipper and you see what he's doing? He's knocking all Catwoman down to four parts. It It is just a little trick that Lyman put in there. Hey, thanks Ted for coming on brother. Appreciate you and a lot of people don't know that skill shot. Now, one of the things that I do is I hold my left flipper down and it flies all the way around and I don't have to catwoman this stuff. I can only hit her once. And boom. Now you'll see a little left orbit. Get those values up. And that's exactly what he did, right,
    137:13
    Mr. Give him a gadget. Bonus multiplier is nice. So, no gadgets, no TV lits. We're not seeing Egghehead yet.
    137:24
    Oh, no. He not a damn thing he could do. What he was trying to do was lock get his locks ready so that he can combo his locks with Catwoman. But that's what happened. Look at Johnny Spades. Look at him. Look at him, guys.
    137:53
    See if he skis jumps this. All right, he's playing Riddler now.
    138:03
    Oh no, he did that. Oh, unlucky Aaron. All right,
    138:16
    next game is uh Jurassic Park, which will be fun to watch. See, you know, are they go Paddics? Do you go control room? Do you get paddics and control room with your T-Rex, multiball, and chaos? That's going to be fun.
    138:34
    I don't know why they don't full plunge, though. The full plunge is worth so much. All right, there's lock one. So, he's got Catwoman with the ball. I I think he's probably going to get this. This multiball is probably what he's going to be going for. Good stop. Let's We'll tell right here. No, you can ski jump this. Uh oh,
    139:01
    there it is. So, I think what we're we're definitely looking at here is the multiball with Catwoman. It's a good move. It's a good stack.
    139:32
    no multiball. Or does he want to increase Catwoman? See?
    139:47
    Oh, Colin, did you see this? This is my son Colin. Mike from Long Island Society's giving us some Yankee news. I guess Aaron got plunked. I didn't see it.
    140:03
    All right, so multiball with Catwoman. Pretty exciting. Getting his gadgets.
    140:11
    You can you can stack this and get a lot of points with this if you get your combos going.
    140:33
    All right. 700,000. 750. Got his ball saved lit. Add a ball. That's what you want.
    140:48
    All right. TV is also going to be lit when he gets out of multiball.
    140:55
    Oh, okay. Vulpy forgot how to play baseball. This turned into a Yankees chat. This happens to me. Uh, nice save.
    141:15
    Gotta love the cough button, ladies and gentlemen. All right, 105. This is why this is a good strat. But if you egghehead, you can get 105 in about three minutes. But I'm not a good player. Uh oh. These slings are so dangerous. There it is.
    141:41
    All right. Sometimes this will fall into the back there. Uh oh. Give him a good feed from the pops.
    141:58
    Now you can absolutely backhand this for the jackpot. Done. Let's see what he does here. 2* 24. He's going to collect it. 36 million for Catwoman. That's pretty good.
    142:13
    There's 3.9. All right. Mystery hold bonus multipliers. He's got a gadget. And I think it's t really the bookworm turns. Well, he likes this on ball one or two because if he can complete bookworm and then go freeze, this is just so hard to hit all these shots. Oh,
    142:43
    173. No question. If he gets TV lit again, he's going to definitely go with egghehead. So, we get to see a proper Egghhead. All right, Aaron. Ball. Ball three. Here it is, buddy. 253.
    143:03
    Doesn't have a gadget lit, too. That's a scary. So, if he's going for TV or is he going for multiball? Looks like he's going for TV. He's just a second late on it.
    143:26
    right here. There it is. All right. He doesn't have a gadget which could hurt you.
    143:38
    One danger. That's not going to kill you. Now he's got to get that T, which is the hardest gadget to get. Lock a ball. No, he didn't lock a ball.
    143:52
    Come on. I want to see this egghehead strat in the worst way. All right, here it
    144:08
    Oh, there's the gadget. No, he still has that T. All right, we'll get a good feed here. Let's see if he just goes for it and says I can get gadget later. That's gone. That's gone. All right. So, we're going to move this to Jurassic Park and watch Wesley and Aaron. I'll be right back.
    146:02
    Okay. Very interesting. Wesley and uh won game one on Batman. You saw that his next game is supposed to be calm, but John and Grayson, and we're going to show you that in a second, the bracket, but John and Grayson are at a third game on King Kong. So, they're really playing. And so, Wesley and Aaron had to move to their game three, which is Jurassic Park. Uh, here we go. Wesley's going to start this off. And you know what I beg Stern to do? I beg Stern to do is make your scores bigger for tournaments. I beg you people. I'm asking all the time. I constantly ask, can you do this for me? Can you set a competition mode? And boom. But they don't. They don't do it. All right. So, what he wants to do is very simple. Uh, I think on the left when you're on this, he's going to open his raptor pit and get Raptor going. Oh, he turned it over and he might start to paddic.
    147:14
    I think we turn it over again. It's hard to There it is. There it is. All right, let's start our paddic. Let's get some dinosaurs and uh let's go down the map. Right. So escape, right? That's what we need. We need rescues. There's one rescue. Got the sea already in chaos lit. Boom. Already now has the helicopter dispatched. Where is it? It's all the way to the right. So he might as well start selling chaos. And he gets it. Bronosaurus. Brachiosaurus is gone. And it just went right down the drain.
    148:12
    Oh, it looks like the ball is stuck. All right, we got a stuck ball. Always the most riveting thing in pinball is a stuck ball.
    148:35
    So, he's got to get a comp ball, unfortunately, cuz he already had a paddic, which kind of sucks.
    148:53
    So now he's going to get a comp ball, which is not a big deal because then ball one and you know two and three he can build. But what kind of sucks for him is he's not progressing down the paddic. Oh, there it is. Okay, we did all right.
    149:11
    All right, control room. I used the third one on the right and I know he's going to do that as well. And the reason is he's waiting for his he needs white shots anyway. Up the middle or helicopter. Uhoh. Okay. S. Oh, almost had S. Here comes S. S is a tough shot. Gets my ass sometimes. I Oh, he missed it twice, though. S is a pisser because h he thought he had Nedry lit. This Ned nerdy nerdry whatever the hell his name is. Uh we'll give you a ball save on this copy.
    150:10
    Oh no. That's it for Aaron. Oh ball save. Ball save. Don't ever walk away. All right. Now, your paddock is lit and you've got some good already.
    150:29
    Let's take the C right now. I think you take the C. Oh, I'm surprised he's not taking the C. It's an easy shot from that right flipper. There it is. Take the C, dude. All right, helicopter dispatch. Sorry, he needed the yellow. I I I missed that. That's on me. All right, now you see where the yellows are. And let's see if he can get this.
    151:00
    All right, he's opening up opening up his Raptor. All right, Wesley, here we go. 5 million to I think Wesley's in the 17s. Yeah. 11.
    151:24
    All right. Skill shot's fun. One of the things that I would do on this copy is use your auto plunger because it always works. Sometimes the the springs on the other one. All right.
    151:38
    Now he wants to he see this is what's dangerous because now he's stuck in the middle, right? And if you look at the map, you see how the middle this is a harder mode uh paddock to get through, but it's more points. So he's not trying to get to um the end of the game. He's just trying to get points. All right. His All right, ball save there. T-Rex fed. So, this is good. It's not a huge T-Rex feed, but he still has his traps that need to be set. Now, he's got two ball multiball to do that. So, that's kind of cool.
    152:35
    Now, let's see what he does here. There it is. 1.5 jackpot. Wants to go up the right right ramp. There it is. That's 2.9.
    153:04
    is the helicopter lit? Yeah. So, the problem with this one is now he's got to hit S and hit the helicopter. Let's see if he does that. No, I'm wrong. I might be wrong. I'm not wrong that much though on this game. I know this game.
    153:23
    There it is. There's a see if he goes for O. Uh, really lucky shot if you can hit that amber all the way up cuz you're a light all chaos. So, let's see if he can do it. But the way the truck is lit, it's hard. Yeah, tough shot to do on the fly.
    153:45
    So, he needs the middle for one more escape. Um, basically what's happening is the dinosaur is eating all his people, but he doesn't really care because the helicopter's now been dispatched. Let's see if he could save the rest of the people. He's going chaos because he's like, I'm not going to go for my S shot until I got chaos lit. And I think that's exactly what he did. Really smart move. And now he's got chaos, which you got to hit up in those ambers. Sometimes if you go down the middle like this and get lucky, you can get into the pops, but didn't work out for him.
    154:26
    Double scoring activated. Now he got the C. All right. Now he's going to try to go through the white shots again before he gets the chaos. And that's wicked smart. He's in 68 million. There it is. One more to the middle. And now he can advance his paddock here. So let's go up the middle. Boom. Let's get our paddock. And then the first thing we do is chaos. I think a chaos. Oh, he's trying.
    155:06
    Hard to backhand this. Hard to backhand this. Okay, you could get it. Well, that it's in the way. It's in the way. Uh-oh. Nothing he could do there. 75 million. And he So, he has a paddic and chaos lit for ball three. Um, let's see what he does. All
    155:46
    right. Now he has to go up the middle to collect his dinosaur, which is what I think he wants to do.
    155:56
    Now he's in T-Rex multiball with his dinosaur. Let's see if he tries to build his T-Rex up.
    156:06
    He's trying double scoring and he says, "Forget it. I'll collect that and I'll go on to T-Rex multiball while I have double scoring." There's nothing wrong with this. Let's hit our shots, though.
    156:30
    Up the middle. There it is. H. Let's hit A and O. C A N O. Oh,
    156:40
    I can light chaos right here if he hits the amber. And it's it's just impossible to do. So, he lost T-Rex multiball. That's over. Now he has to wide shots.
    156:56
    I can't see if control room is lit. I don't think it is. Up the middle. Spinner up the middle. No.
    157:17
    Let's see. Let's see what he's going to do here. Uhoh. Had to do it. Had to do it. Totally worth the danger.
    157:34
    So he's just light and chaos. He's got O and S left. All right, control room. Lot of points in control room.
    157:54
    There it is. Is there 7 million up the middle would be great because he starts his paddic and he could get there it is. Slow it down. Oh, he's going for C. See, I would go H here because I would want to start this paddic too. System reboot combo award. That was worth 20 million. That was nice.
    158:33
    There it is. That's five mil. And it starts the paddic. See? So, this is really good. Uh, get yourself a rescue with the paddic
    158:47
    up the middle. Now, he's got O lit. So S is a rescue shot or the middle is a Oh, take the S now. Go up the middle.
    159:11
    Will he start chaos here? He moved the thing. He moved the Jeep. So he's trying to move the Jeep, I think.
    159:24
    so he can hit Chaos. Nope. He what he's trying to do is get the helicopter dispatched.
    159:31
    There it is. Another paddock. Another successful triceratops back where he belongs. All right. Chaos multiball. Now good.
    159:51
    Chaos multiball is a chaos, right? Don't you think? It's just it's so hard to get control of those three balls in this game. But there's an ones. There's 1.7. There's 2 million more. Shifting. So, he's got T-Rex chase going with Chaos. That's a nice stack.
    160:26
    Gotta love Ann Allen. Got to love it. Oh, all right. You're all right. Take a pause up the middle. You still got system boot. No, he doesn't.
    160:42
    So, 200 million. He is putting up a score. Good dig. Still has Raptor to go. Paddock bounty increased. needs some more escapes because now he's in T-Rex, which kind of sucks, but it's worth a lot of points if you can get through it. All right, raptor lock. Got to pound that three more times.
    161:30
    All right. Well, one of the T-Rexes didn't uh kind of ate a person. That's not what you want to see.
    161:43
    Oh, good save again. Nope. Really good ball, Aaron. Really good ball. 291 and you're putting the pressure on this guy right here because that's a lot of Paddocks. But he's got he's set with Chaos Multiball, right? So, we'll see what he does after the skill shot. It'll be interesting to see what he does. What do you think? Go to a paddic and then chaos or just go chaos right away. 76 million. See if he can get all the skills. No, I'm going and I'm getting chaos lit. And that's exactly what he's doing. Now you can put up 300 400 million on chaos. Just got to hit your shots.
    162:41
    trying to add a ball. Then he did it. Great move. All right, let's see if he can get H. And he's got double scoring. So, he's going to kind of have to hurry here because you got double scoring. There's one.
    163:05
    There's 3.2. There's 4.8. I mean, while double scoring is going, take advantage, man.
    163:16
    He doesn't even need it. All right. He wants to see here. All right. Double scoring's done. But I like that pass through.
    163:26
    Ah. All right, he's at 111 now. He's got it. He's got a pound Raptor. That's He's got two more for Raptor. One more, I think. Or there. Now he's got one more. No.
    163:48
    So, it's all about It doesn't really care about his rescues right now. He needs the raptor triall.
    164:00
    And let's see how he does with Raptor Multiball. Right ramp right ramp in this. The the A shot just kicks my ass. I don't know if anybody else has this extra ball. Okay. Not much you could do with that. a lot of rescues are being unsuccessful, but you know, he doesn't care. He's trying to hit shots. He needs to hit these letters because they're worth a lot of points. It doesn't care about ambers.
    164:56
    I need a co-host. Don't you think so? I The fact that I try to carry it, I I think I need a co-host. I miss Donovan. Where's Aaron Winnick Anthony when you need her? Why is Wesley keep winning? Because Oh, no. All right.
    165:19
    Now it's paddock time, I think. Right. Or is he need C? I think he needs C. Yeah, needs C. Chaos is lit.
    165:33
    And let's go middle. I think I think he's going to take middle or first one. I like virus attack, too. Yeah, virus attack's good move.
    165:48
    All right, 162. He needs a He needs a good ball here. I think you go H here and then come back an S. All right. Can he light amp chaos again? This is a tough shot right through there. No, he wasn't even messing with it.
    166:29
    Oh, it's making me nervous. Oh, he's making me nervous. There it is. 13 million. Needs that S. There's an A. Just lighting chaos again, isn't he? 20 million.
    167:09
    What a shot. 314 110 in the mode. And guess what? He's control rooming it. Now we're going virus attack.
    167:27
    What a great way to to get the power back on. Another three million. Oh, he's feeling this
    167:41
    up the middle. He's got a paddock shot to light his trap here as well. No, he's going to do Oh, keep taking his three a million. He's got to hit the middle. Oh J.
    168:16
    Okay, people walk up and want to talk to me. It's really nice. I appreciate it. All right, he's got to hit that left uh button, but of course and he started chaos. Just a great ball three.
    168:38
    Yeah, he definitely wants to hit the H T-Rex ramp. All right, asking me questions. I love it. Wesley's having a ball, ladies and gentlemen. And got that Stegosaurus. See a Stegosaurus.
    169:23
    Got a little speed up there. I have no idea what happened there, but Wesley's uh
    169:33
    what a ball though. Just absolutely how you play this game, right? He was 200 million down.
    169:51
    and now he's back in the secure control room. This is worth a ton of points.
    170:05
    All right. Now you have secured control room. Now he's got to hit this H. Done. That's part. That's done. Now if he come there. Done. This is a tough shot here. You have to go through the middle.
    170:25
    I think he'll go through the middle, right? There it is. Here. Oh, he just missed it and he got unlucky. Just a malfunction returning ball. Got lucky there. So, see it goes through the middle again. No, he's just adding seconds, which is so smart on this mode. All right, now through the middle. Boom. He's just a little late.
    171:01
    Here it comes. There it is. All right. So, now he needs Oh,
    171:21
    All right. Oh, put that down there. Oh, it's just sneaks. All right, here it goes. Put it down. There it is. Oh, securing this control room, man. I've never seen this.
    171:36
    He doesn't care. He got an extra ball. Now he needs the S shot to secure the control room. This is unbelievable.
    171:48
    Nice. One more shot. Right up the middle. Yeah.
    171:58
    I'm sorry, but that is just amazing. 109 million control on the secure. Now he's got to There it is. And see. All right. Little early. Counting down. Counting down. Yeah. Hell yeah. 79 77 million. Wesley's walking around like a BA and he should be right. I mean, when was the last time you saw someone secure do the whole control rooms in a tournament? I don't know.
    172:37
    I had this in my house. I only did that once. We're just watching a hell of a ball. All right, there's See, there's one rescue up the middle.
    173:09
    Up the middle, I think. Yeah. No. just a little late. Hey Enzo, dude, you just missed the guy. Complete control room. It was just amazing. He secured the whole thing. Uh just an amazing ball Wesley Johnson has been putting up. Uh unsuccessful rescue doesn't really care. He's got more. He's got two times two times playfield scoring.
    173:51
    There you go. Good bounce out. There it is. See, there's a successful right up the middle. Boom. And collect a Pterodon 13 million. Uh, let's see what he does here. Is he lighting chaos again? I think he might be. Needs white shots for the paddic.
    174:18
    That's what he's doing. He's going down the paddic. I would love him to get
    174:32
    two more whites. We could light chaos, right? No, not like chaos, but it Oh, get in that. No, didn't hit it. Very unlucky. What a good ball.
    174:46
    [Music] He's got a couple extra balls here, which suck in Spark because there's nothing you can do about it.
    175:09
    You're allowed one skill plunge. And what's kind of cool is if you short plunge it once in a while, you can get it to skip and go up in the things. But 800 million. What an unbelievable ball. And uh we watched someone put up a really great ball, Wesley Johnson. Oh, that was awesome. Awesome sauce. I'm gonna clip the hell out of that because I want to show people how you get through that. All right, John's uh Wesley is going to probably move on and play Grayson Turner and John Space and Jim Mueller are in the loser bracket. Uh let me show that for you.
    176:05
    Uh Grayson Turner is waiting in uh for John Space. John Space was just eliminated uh by Jim Mueller. And uh so as you can see the elimination round, they get a chance to come on up. So, that should be a lot of fun. Uh, let's go back
    176:30
    to Aaron. Aaron, what are we doing? You know what you're doing. You got to Well, you there's a lot of [ __ ] you got to do, buddy. Sorry about that. Cuz she's at 940. Almost put up a billion. But you know what? You just have to laugh it off and say, "All right, there's no shortcuts to greatness. I've got to pound sand. I've got to pound it.
    176:58
    So, if we don't clip if we don't clip that, I mean, I'm doing you a disservice. I I'm kind of frustrated cuz I was one more white arrow away from uh from the wizard mode for all the paddics. I know. From was it visitor center? Yeah, visitor center. One more white arrow. I've never seen anyone on stream finished control rooms. Um, well, I finished the control rooms and I finished the secure control room mini wizard mode. I know that was pretty intense. I don't think I've ever finished secure control room. I've never I've gotten to secure control room, but I've never finished it. Uh, nor have I finished all the paddics. Uh, all right. Well, I get to move on. I guess you're moving with Grayson. You're waiting on So, you and Grayson, buddy. Yeah, I think we're I got a I'm high seed. Or actually, we're tied seed. So, I guess they're going to coin flip this. Let me go find out. See how they're gonna handle it. Thank you, brother.
    177:53
    Yeah. Aaron came up, congratulated him, told him it was a hell of a ball. And it was a hell of a ball. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. Never seen anything like it. I have never seen anything like it. It was totally awesome. I'm Jamie Burchil with the JBS show. I'm here at Yuri Guides Brewery for our quarterly tournament. Space City Pinball Leagues quarterly tournament. It is a rotating tournament. Uh and I'm from New York and I say tournament. So, uh it was first at Game Preserve NASA. This month it is at
    178:33
    um this one is at uh where the hell is it at? Oh, Eureka Heights. No, but the next one I believe is at Gandos Arcade is what I was trying to get to. Anyway, no spasa. Uh let's just go back to the bracket and it should be updated now to show you that Wesley Johnson uh he beat Aaron Hernandez and will be facing Grayson Turner and that's going to be pretty exciting.
    179:08
    Going to be pretty exciting. Uh so who's still in it? Well, Wesley Grayson, Jim Mueller from the elimination round. Uh,
    179:20
    and I'm going to find out. So, I'll be right back. Give me about 5 minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
    186:05
    Okay, we're back, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your patience. All right, so here's Wesley. Wesley and uh Grayson. Let me show you this. Wesley and Grayson are one of these will go to the finals. The other one will go down and play the elimination winner and then we will have just so much more pinball. Here comes Grayson Turner Star Wars.
    186:48
    And for this I need a new zen, right? I've been here since 11 o'clock. I'm going to be here for 12 hours.
    186:57
    Why do I stream? That is a question I ask myself in the canyon many, many times. Why do I do this? Because I love it.
    187:13
    I love it. You all love it, right? You all love it. We love pinball. It's fun. It's just hard being a oneman show. I need a sidekick. I need a sidekick here. Need a sidekick.
    187:36
    We're going to Star Wars. No, he blew up Star Wars last time. Oh, that's terrible. Look at the score. I'll fix it. Don't worry about it. Actually, you can't. How could you not worry about it? It's garbage. Look at that. [ __ ] am I doing? What were you in the Grand Canyon for two weeks? Not paying attention to anything. Yes. Give me a second. Right. When he drains, I'll run up there. Okay. We're just pretending we know what he's scoring. This is good streaming. This is why I'm not a network, right? Fox Cities, I pinball, JDL. But I like the WB sometimes. They got some good stuff. They replay friends a lot.
    188:42
    Okay, there we go. All right, one 8 mil the 61. Hey, Matt Rodon. Miss you, buddy. Should have been here today. What's your excuse? You got a 2-year-old? I don't want to hear it.
    189:09
    Force targets to light video mode. He knows missions are lit. Now Grayson plays a lot of pinball at a game preserve north. Uh Wesley plays a lot of g uh at Einstein's and he played a lot at the wormhole. Both of them played a lot for Warm Hall and they both play a lot here. My point is Grayson. Oh, what a dig, dude. Grayson plays a lot of pinball this game at game preserve. So, he knows the game and he's going to get his Millennium Falcon and he's going to go through some asteroids
    189:52
    and he knows this by heart. He knows what to do here. Look at him just skirting in the middle. Look at Grayson. Unbelievable. Oh, now he's getting his ass handed over. Right. The minute I said that, he getting his ass I The minute I said something, he's getting his ass handed over. No big deal.
    190:16
    About 17 million right off the bat. It doesn't hurt feelings. You're in Canyon Lake. That's a good excuse for what is it? July 4th or something.
    190:28
    Video mode is lit. So now he can just do video mode again. Let's see if it does it again.
    190:40
    Let's see what he does. He's at 4x. These guys don't mess with the much as I do.
    190:56
    You like going with Luke after Tie Fighter split up multiball? It's a game I need a lot more time on Long Island, Mike. I just need a lot more time on it, brother. But I mean, this kid is just saying I know how to get through asteroids. Why not? Look at that golden space right through the middle.
    191:19
    Oh yeah, I got him. Oh, he's right. I'm right through it though. I'll take 69 million. I'll just keep playing video mode.
    191:35
    All right, we've got Jessica next to me playing a oneame elimination against Aaron Hernandez on Scooby-Doo.
    191:54
    I don't understand the multipliers. I I do. You can move your It's a very complicated rule set and God bless Dwight, but this is a toughy
    192:08
    and and this is a game I really think on location you have to put so much money in it to really figure it out. This is a game you want to kind of own for a while because you this coach's deep, man.
    192:27
    Salude. How on wheels, how are you? Um, it's just a deep game, right? Everyone. So, I think with the being so deep, it's just going to behoove you a little more. Oh, no. To have it, just to delve into it.
    192:56
    All right, Wesley. 61 to 261. He knows. He's like, "Okay, all right.
    193:04
    I put up a billion on this earlier. I know how to play it." Then he's got Star Trek and then Rick and Morty, so he too. He's fine.
    193:23
    Let's see. He's trying to figure out what he wants. At one point, this was your favorite game out there, says Matty Road. Uh, by the way, my Yankees suck. I go away to the Grand Canyon for two weeks and they suck. Congratulations, Matt.
    193:47
    Well, this you got sling town on this mic, right? He says brutal left out lane, but you get sling towned on it. And uh uh All right, here he goes. That's where I like to play. I like to play up there. I don't I don't mess around in the middle, Grayson. But, you know, Grayson's young and he's not no fear. I just rock this. Oh, what a what a beautiful.
    194:21
    Oh, he had a perfect one. 46 million. That cost him some money. Cost him some points, but I'll take it now. Hoth again. Let's see.
    194:40
    All right, he's going to escape. He's going to get out of Hoth. It's a nice two little ball multiball. He's going to light his force again so that he can just do this video mode because guess what? You know what you don't do in video mode? Drain, right?
    195:05
    Yeah, it is. You know, he's saying like clockwork it goes out the left lane here. And it does.
    195:15
    Hyperspace, hurry up. Shoot the Death Star. Where the hell is this Death Star? It keeps yelling at me and I never shoot it.
    195:26
    There it is. Hyperspace Furry up 69 million. That help that hurts. I mean helps.
    195:42
    Now what does he do? Oh, bad feet. Oh, ball save. Oh, I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate turning pinball live on YouTube. David Binky. David, you're welcome, dude. You're welcome. I'm growing. I I love this hobby so so much. I'm sitting crisscross applesauce here up against the wall. Eureka Heights. I've been here since 11:00. And it's not because I'm getting paid, David. I can tell you that cuz I freaking love it. Knock out the shield generator. He says, "Yes, I will knock this out." Oh, he went to increase his multiplier and it went right down the middle. That's the problem with increasing your multiplier. 32 million bonus. 261 to 395. We're on ball three. Tie fighters.
    196:46
    There you go. Now, this laser duel sucks because you're stuck in it, right? Am I right, everyone? If he hits this laser deal,
    196:56
    I think he's just going to try to hit. What's he doing here? All right. Now, the problem is you're like stuck in this mode, right?
    197:08
    Like, what do you do here? This blue and green, blue and red.
    197:19
    Has anyone ever seen the YouTube where some guy used AI and tools to make the Darth Vader versus Obi-Wan fight better? Yeah, I see he's stuck in it. Have you ever seen that? Or Obi-Wan? Yes, David. We are playing uh we played 54 group match play and now we're doing a top 16 with a resurrection uh elimination bracket.
    197:49
    What happened here? What's What's going on here? All right. He He's a perfectionist. The man's a perfectionist, ladies and gentlemen. Let him do it. Okay. So, what happened? What we just saw was Grayson didn't get where he needed to go. Uh, so Wesley won round one. They're now on Star Trek. Wesley blew up Star Trek last time. Put up over a bill. Uh over three bill. So it's a trap, says Matt Rhodon. It's a trap. Uh all right, let's go to it. Here comes Wesley.
    198:52
    Dude, I need a co-host. I'm by myself. These people are sick of hearing from me. For f's sake, dude. Yeah, you're doing a great job, J. Oh, I don't You can't hear me over there. That's Hold on. We got something on us here. Oh, what do we got? It's trap. I got these overlays. Trap. No one can see us. Okay, that's fine. You're in the middle now. I'm way over here. See, that's the thing. Or how do you No, look. All you got to do is this right here. Got to do this right here. Just do a little slide. Slip slip. Slippity slide. Right. It's like stuck. The camera's there, right? Yeah. Why didn't it slide? No. Use this. There you go. That's better. Ah, super. Well, I was by myself, John. I had I hear you. Now, Wesley played this last time and put up 3.3. Bill, he's so good. There's a lot of good players here. Really good. And you got Jim Mueller that's sitting down. I tell you what, what's going on? What's going on in the elimination bracket down there, man? Tell us cuz I don't We haven't been following the elimination bracket. I got I got taken out. I got taken out by Jim Mueller on Rick and Morty. I put up 12 and a half million and he put up 24. Okay. So, took my multiball and uh so, but you know, he's so good. Jessica is just finished with Aaron and I'm It's unclear to me who won. If you look at that score right there on that Scooby, you would know, but I don't know. Oh, I don't even know what player it was. Yeah, it was Aaron and Jessica. Okay, so the winner of that, who's that? Hey, what's up, brother? Good to hear from you. And Dustin says, "Engage." Yeah. Um, we've been here since 11:30. Yeah. AM. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Uhhuh. Washing our hands all the time. Oh my god. Well, they scared the [ __ ] out of us with this scaring the [ __ ] out of you, Noro virus. And so we wash our hands every minute of Yeah. And now I come back to civilization and I'm washing my hands more than I've ever washed in my life. It was so great. 15 days, man. 15 days disconnected, relatively speaking. I learned that uh there's a thing called satellite uh messaging. So, whenever you get uh I didn't know that that existed, but you can send messages satellite. Did you get the bill for that yet? No, I haven't got the bill. I was told it's like $22 a messages. I'm all like, "Hey, what's up, buddy?" Hey, Taylorah. I'm just, you know, silly [ __ ] It'll be fun when you get that iPhone message. Yeah. Well, we'll we'll see how that goes. So,

    She doesn't seem happy. Okay. So, so Aaron Hernandez is out of here, man. This boy has come this boy. He has come in from out of nowhere and is just boom playing really good pinball. So, she doesn't seem too happy that you're uh No, it's just it's uh Yeah, I think what I'm going to do is I have to walk over there. I'm really working on this and uh I think that uh you know, maybe Yeah, we'll see. You know, I know that Leo Leo will stay and and help us close up. Oh, yeah. It's unclear to me how much longer we've got. It really it just depends and I don't have the answer. Right. Well, here's the bracket. We could put it up, but he's playing so Okay, that's fine. Let's watch him play. He's Well, he's in multiball. He's already got 266 million. That doesn't feel bad. He's in multiball and he's just trying to hit that middle. Yeah. Okay. Uh and I think Oh, he's a little short. Yeah, he hit one of them. So, he knows what he's doing. No question he knows what he's doing. Can he hit the shots?
    202:47
    Well, we'll see. We'll see. I'm watching him. He's uh I'm so pissed at myself that I the the right side of the rig didn't work. Oh, he's a little late there. He didn't make it. I thought he made it. No, but his spinners are down. Spinners, you know, you had uh Yeah, you know, I went to the Grand Canyon, John. Yeah. No, we got back today. It took a moment to kind of get things together. It's not a big deal. We're good. We are good. All right. Command decision. Use flipper select mission. He likes to choose wormhole. Does he? Wormhole. I like wormhole. I like I like that mission, you know. So, what's he going to do here? He's going to go just try to get it to that upper right flipper and bam. Yeah. And then Right ramp. That ramp.

Boom. He got it. Collect. Collect. 63 million. That feels good. That feels good. Now start a mission. I don't think he's going to start a mission. No, he did not. He did.

That got it in there. Not enough to make it around though, right? No, it's going to come back down. That's okay. That's okay. Get control. Don't let it go out. All right. Got the kick back.

Not only 5 million. Yeah, he's raking in points here. Oh, that's it. How How' you How'd you do price-wise? Did you have to lower your price or is it what you wanted? I I don't give I Did you sell locally? Yeah. Uh yeah, Henry. He's played here with us today. Big tall Henry. Yeah, he was pumped about pinball. Hold on. Yeah, one second.
    204:51
    Okay. Imagine back in the 1800s, people just had to wash their hands to live longer.
    205:03
    Oh, it didn't bounce for him. It didn't bounce for him. Dustin, you bought it. Well, congratulations, dude.
    205:29
    We're thinking it's 45 minutes left. We're thinking 45 minutes left.
    205:38
    Wesley. They're asking me who won the first game, and I'm telling them it's Wesley, ladies and gentlemen. All right. Now, here comes
    205:55
    Grayson. Grayson's ready. Lock is lit. He knows what he needs to do.
    206:11
    Nah, you're all right, Henry. it. Listen, honestly, Henry, the game has been in such perfect shape. Uh, it it is just in perfect shape there. We It was at the wormhole for so long. And I'll tell you why. Because it didn't break. Oh, it it it
    206:39
    it it didn't break. Nothing went wrong with it.
    207:01
    All right, Wesley. Here he goes. Uh, I think he's definitely going to traverse this maze. He got 109 million last time. Let's see if we can get it better this time.
    207:29
    ISO chip 9 million 109 simulation total. That's how you do it.
    207:58
    Yeah, Henry, you're not gonna You're very right on the Johnny Nemonic thing. Uh Johnny breaks all the time and it's the hand. Oh, all right. 1 billion. Let's see what uh Grayson can do.
    208:21
    Oh, David, sorry. Yeah, the Johnny Nemonic glove. Uh, this nextgen, it just plays brilliantly. We We really never had any issues. Nothing. It was never anything on the board. on our list of grievances. Lock three is lit. And he's, you know, sometimes he can bounce through those pops and get up there. And he's going multiball. Boom. Boom. Boom. And let's see if he can get in a groove. Now, people tend to lean down. And let's see if we can get this shot. Nope. Missed it. That's okay. Bounce it over now. Get it right here. Boom. Nope. Now we got it.
    209:13
    Oh, that's all right. You're a multiball. Ball save is done now, though.
    209:29
    Kick back. Please, poor people at Eureka Heights. They just want to go home. It's almost 10 o'clock. But they can't because they put all these pinball machines in here and guess what? Make a lot of money for this great place.
    209:57
    Yeah, David, you got to memorize the video mode. And I haven't done done it. So, I just take 25 million and I move on.
    210:07
    He's got to hit the middle, though. And he just lost the multiball.
    210:29
    Oh. All right. Here comes Wesley. Three one point one bill to 29 259. You could read. So can I. Don't have my glasses on. Why? Because I scratched them in the Grand Canyon and they fell off my head and they went down a little bit of a cavern. And they're scratched to [ __ ] That's my fault. I did that. Why did I bring my nice glasses to Grand Canyon? Nobody knows but me. All right, he's going down the video mode again. It's another 109 if he gets this right.
    211:19
    50 million 9 million in caverns. 109 a third of his score. Two times jackpot 107. This is where he is so dangerous on this multiball cuz he can just keep hitting it, right? Watch him.
    212:04
    Oh, little early. But the way he cradles them and can separate. Watch. Oh, see he's a little late there. Let's see. Now he'll get it. Watch. Oh,
    212:21
    there it is. Jackpot. 53 1.6 billion. Three times jackpot. Shoot the spinner again.
    213:11
    Nice catch. All right, spinner. There it is. Now we've reit top. Here it comes. Spinner again. Increases value. And in the middle. Unbelievable. Just textbook. Yeah, you said it. You said it.
    213:41
    Let's see. Can he relight the orbit again? Nice tap. Little tippity tap. There it is. Increase the value.
    213:57
    Oh, see if he can sneak one in. Nah, he's not even going to do it. Yeah, he's very good. Super nice guy. Always on the stream. Uh my go-to certified rig mover. He's one of my favorite people in pinball. See if he'll go up. And now this one's worth 10. No.
    214:20
    Do you And this is a serious question because I think I have ADD. Um, when you're humming like this, isn't it so easy to get complacent when you've got 2.4 bill and say, "There's no way he's catching me." But he could. He could.
    215:17
    And he got to shoot again. And there's nothing you can do here. Just take your 10 million light hollow deck because there's nothing he can do. So start a mission and maybe it'll pop through everything because he's got an extra ball.
    215:36
    While we're waiting for his extra ball, let's look at uh the bracket.
    215:44
    We're waiting on Jim Mueller versus Jessica Dinardo. No, he beat Jessica Dinardo. So, Jim Mueller is waiting for the loser here between Grayson and Wesley. And here comes Grayson.
    216:29
    Come on, Grayson. Let's go. And that's it. Grayson couldn't get it going. And Grayson will now play Jim Mueller on King Kong. And Wesley will wait. So, let's go to King Kong. I'll be right.
    216:53
    Oh no. What the hell happened? Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen. Um, I don't know what the hell I just did.
    217:10
    So, Jim Mueller is going to be playing Grayson on one game. I just effed everything up. Oh, what a sad moment. What a sad moment. Now I got to fix all this on the fly. I got to fix this all on the fly.
    219:26
    [Music] All right, guys. All right, here's the deal. There's nothing we can do, John.
    219:50
    Yeah. All right. Here's what I can do. Yeah. Here's what I could do. Yeah. Oh, there it is. It's right there in the middle.
    220:03
    Yes, Dustin. He does do a great job. So, here's the deal. The rig is just a mess. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the whole situation is with Eureka wants us out of here. Yeah. And so, this is for the championship. This is Well, this is this is not for the championship. This is uh if Jim wins or if Wesley wins, then it's uh game over. If Jim wins, they play one more game. Okay. So, uh, that's where we are. And that would I'm looking at, you know, hopefully that can not I we'll just see. We picked. The reason why they got picked is because it's one of the fastest games here. That's why it got picked. So, we're like, what's the quickest game? Bam. We picked it without really thinking that, you know, any, you know, about the rig getting on there. So, apologies. Don't even worry about it, Sean. you know, and uh you know, I need to Yeah. So, next time this we're gonna we're gonna have we're gonna play this uh a big tournament here. Not next month. Next month will be at Gandalf's. Okay. And then the month after we'll be back. No, next quarter. Next month. Oh, really? Next month. Next first Saturday will be at Gandalf's. Oh, wow. And then the next month's first Saturday, we'll be here again. But we're going to do a Papa Style finals. I didn't know all this. This is good news. Yes. This is the Super Sunday. Super Saturday showdown. Super Saturday Showdown. It's the second one. It's the second one. Jamie, we're not even on here. They can't even see us. Yeah, they can't see us. That's fine. Who cares? But they can hear us. They can hear us. Dustin can hear us. He doesn't mind listening to you just talk, Jamie. I don't know why. You got You've got some interesting things to say. You really do. Well, the games that I know, I can definitely uh talk it all. Okay. So, uh put up a bill. Jim Mueller just put up a a mill a mill a mill on ball one. And that's really good. I feel like, but that's, you know, you're playing with Wesley, so that's Eureka is gonna make them resolve this via rock paper, man. I feel I feel you. I feel you, Dustin. I really feel bad. I really feel bad. I didn't I really thought that this format would have been done by 10 by 10:00. I thought this format would have been done um because we played the exact same format uh for our league finals earlier in the year and it was not a problem. But clearly, it is tonight. I mean, you had a game. Hey. Ha. Hey, H. Hey, Henry. Um, you had tonight you had you had Grayson playing Kevin Stir Sternum Stur Sturum and boy howdy. They put up, you know, 200 million and 150 million on Kong. Then they go to Batman and it's like 1.25 billion to 950 million. Yeah. And then their next game was just this big monster on Jurassic Park and that just hurts feelings. Not feelings, it just drags it out to where, you know what I mean? So, I'll tell you what we'll do. It's not half bad. You know, look at that. I mean, it's not terrible. No, it's not bad. It's not bad. Good job, West. It's not bad enough. It's good enough for Gunwork. Look at that. You can see the scores. You can see him there playing. You know, you don't get every playby-play detail, but you can see if he's going to go in there and start start a mode and, you know, I kind of like what he did there. Yeah, that was great. It was really good. It was really good. I was going to pack up shop. I was We're done. We're shutting down. That's great. You know, I need to go to bed. Yeah, we all do. We both do. I will tell you that moving around today and walking around here and doing things, I feel better. I hurt less. What's up?
    223:30
    Bounced. Left. Forfeited. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think so, too. Sure. Absolutely. Absolutely. Although I have no authority here whatsoever. I don't either. I'd have to think about it. I don't know. Sounds legit. Abs. Yeah, he's out. I could deactivate him. You can go in there and deactivate him. Like he's out. She's still playing, you know. I don't know. Well, yeah. Yeah. Yep. I will. I absolutely will. John won't forget that. I will not forget that. Yes, that was forget that. I was so close. Yeah, I was close. But I I Grayson took me down. I got uh took him down on Deadpool, but then ah Evil Dead and then Kong. I What's What's after this one? Uh, another short game. What? Rush. You want me to go find out? Oh, Rush would be a good one. Yeah, just put him on Rush. Good. Rush. Put on Rush. I love Rush. I'm gonna go I'm going to go work that out right now. I'll be All right. Bye.
    224:32
    If uh Jim Mueller wins this game, I have to shut this rig down because when it's time to go, they want me out of here. Uh, which is no problem, right? I I don't care. I mean, I'm fine with that. I'll text you guys the winner later, but uh they really want me out of here. And so what I should probably do is just shut it down. Is that okay with everyone? Is that all right? I should just lock this [ __ ] up. Yeah, I got to do it. All right, people. I'm so sorry. We ran so late tonight that I have to shut this down. I appreciate every single one of you.
