    2:29
    Stream is pooping his pants. Oh, we froze. I think last time I froze. Yeah, I guess flawless it does like they left outland. All right, so let's give this one to...
    2:48
    Let's give it to Dice. For all those damn subs. I'm your hairy dice, you get the GSD. That's pretty cool. That's pretty damn cool. FD zombie dog. BD's doing good. BD's doing good.
    3:13
    BD's doing good. I tried to put in dice. It looks like dick. Great. Oh. Oh, a Star Wars Home Edition. Now that has a fantastic opto-spinner on that one.
    3:32
    Am I still frozen up? I think so. Back to Buddha. That light really makes me sad. I don't think there's anything.
    4:03
    Yeah, I knew that light wasn't going to last. All right, if it starts chopping, we'll call it. Alright, looks like we'll do one more game here. We'll do one more game. I can't wait to do... I will. Shieldsville! Guess who's back, guess who's back. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Harry Dice, now you got the damn song stuck in my head.
    4:45
    I've created a monster because nobody wants to see Marshall no more. They want Shady on chopped liver.
    4:55
    Like I don't know every damn rap song. All right. What do we got? I knew where it was going. I knew it.
    5:28
    What pens are you pursuing, Zombie Dog? Right now, I wouldn't mind having, let's see, Valley Williams.
    5:36
    I'd like to have a Star Trek Next Gen, like a restored one. I'd like to have a Radical. um mouse around would be nice whitewater johnny mnemonic that's my short list of valley williams stern i think i have all the sterns that i want right now
    5:58
    elvira jurassic park stranger things and beetles it's my four-piece jam right there i got wonka I may be moving I might be moving Alice Cooper Maybe Maybe, maybe, maybe I need to make room for For Rick and Morty And as soon as JJP launches their new title I'll probably swap Wonka out for that I don't know if I can get rid of Wonka What are you guys looking for right now?
    6:35
    Jam the tunes. Yeah, we're going to do some call-ins. We're going to do a lot of stuff. We're going to make sure this shit works first before we go partying. I'll have a nightcap with you guys. I'll just say that.
    6:53
    It's Howard Cosell, and welcome to another week of Monday Night Pinball. I do still have the Star Trek.
    7:02

    8:02
    Can you really settle if you're looking for a Radical? I think not. Not with that attitude, Harry Dice.
    8:16
    Not with that attitude, you can't. Okay, why did... I think that was a bug. The scoop thing just spotted my left rancher.
    8:39
    Okay. Multi-ball. Bam. You know what I'm going to do? one day instead of we're going to stream but you all are going to be co-hosts on the podcast and we're going to have one big ass fucking party and you all are going to co-host a midweek with me.

    14:47
    jobber i'm not even gonna comment dakota mike's playing some whirlwind spent two hours dialing in the plunge shot so it orbits as intended it was annoying but worth it you know what it's a good call actually because get this mic a little closer to me it was a good call because a lot of people think that you're supposed to uh you're supposed to plunge on whirlwind and go up that side ramp that is just not the case supposed to orbit around which is a tricky shot to dial in for sure but you're supposed to be able to orbit it with a good shot like a full plunge a really hard plunge should not hit the orbit in my opinion it should be too much power and too soft shouldn't get it across the orbit so it's got to be just right just right nothing like a really good skill shot sing love oh x-rays mris respirators all that shit harry dice okay software development what wide thing been working in a factory that builds medical equipment okay very cool zombie dog let's do it zombie dog when you go to stream let me know I'd like to work with you if you'd have me alright guys so how shitty was the quality of the stream tonight what do we need to work on. I know we've got lights on order. Stream labs, uh, or the stream deck is ordered. I've got, um, I got another camera that I'm going to utilize for the player cam and after hours cam. We've got to set up, got to set up a call-ins. You've got to do that. You guys want to see me a little bit, uh, a little bit looser. I can do that. I can certainly do that. Um, what else do we need? I'm trying to think.
    17:03
    I've got some shit coming up. I've got some cool ideas that are probably going to turn some of you guys off, but I'm not here just to do normal shit. I want to throw a wrench in it, and I want to try to do something different.
    17:21
    Captain Red Eye. Okay, so I need a partner here. I don't really... I've got a couple really good buddies that live close to me, but they're pretty quiet. I dominate talking. They listen. They're great listeners. Just lean my head on their shoulder, I guess.
    17:43
    And I lick them. Just a little lick. And they never come back again. I'm trying to think. Now, we can do this show with Solo.
    17:54
    I'm going to try to have Beattie like right here. little picture in picture action and go back and forth. BD cam kind of like Ken was doing at the end, but George is helping me get to the point where BD and I can converse and talk because we're real good buddies. But so we can talk chat. We can take live call-ins together.
    18:18
    None of this battling shit. I don't want to battle people. There's plenty of people do that. And I just, I don't have fun watching battles. yeah I want to install some mods too live oh, Sambuca, Bill the Cat's going to fucking be here believe that I'm going to go up to Ken's, I've got to pick up that Wonka up at Ken Cromwell's house and believe me I'm giving you guys my word the cat's coming home it's going to Beattie's it's going somewhere, but it's not staying at Ken's
    18:54
    I agree, zombie dog. It was cool to hang out. Because, hey, between us and fucking guys couldn't play pinball. Let's not joke each other.
    19:08
    I think Ken will be getting... I would think Ken's going to stream for Jersey Jack. I would think. Like, he's a freaking prolific streamer. If they don't have Ken Cromwell doing streams and podcasts and videos, like... I don't know I don't know what the fuck why they yeah no clue we're gonna deal with bone every house he sells he comes with you know what here's here's something interesting um Harry Dice I just like calling you that I've pitched an idea that we're kind of working on with some home builders and a lot of home builders now are putting brand new in box or brand new pinball machines in like game rooms so i'm trying to talk these home builders and custom designers and contractors um to have an agreement with me to put them in all of their like the new development properties put a brand new pinball machine like a star wars the pin in their show homes in the model homes how good of an idea is that come come on come on but yeah i talked to bone about that too take your pinball all right what else you guys want to know before i log off here ask me anything remember that segment that uh that ken and bill did ask me anything and somebody asked something what they asked bill how many times he jerked off or something i forget what it was oh they asked bill if he's ever tasted breast milk and that was like an end of the segment because Bill wouldn't answer. Ask Bill anything besides a whole list of things you can't ask Bill. I love Bill.
    20:59
    Ooh, Harry Dice, you like that idea? I have a knack for ideas. If you all see my notes, I probably jot down 10 to 15 outlandish or just good ideas every day. I've got a whole list of them. A whole list of them.
    21:25
    If Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, who was holding the camera? Huh? Well, the first fucking selfie stick ever. That's who. Would you make out with Kaneda?
    21:40
    No. Absolutely not. But I wonder how much it would, you guys ever play that? How much would it cost? We played that weeks back on the Flippin' Out stream before the whole Corona thing. What was it, in February? We said, how much, how much would you, would it take for you to lick a flipper button at TPF?
    22:03
    I think BD and I would have done it for a thousand bucks. dude Kaneda is all up on me that poor guy's obsessed like legit depends on the day some days I like him some days I think he's a crusted dickhole moving camera work dude what zombie dog what are you talking about show some calves get personal make fun of people me more make fun of people come you know I'm not gonna make fun of people except for not.
    22:41
    Man. Did you guys end up seeing Kaneda's post-twippy Facebook live rant? It was the saddest, one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life.
    22:57
    Oh, thanks. Penn State and Scott up in the house. What's up, Scooty? yeah yeah yeah here's here okay yeah one of the things that bugs the piss out of me is when media people in pinball they record something whether it's a stream whether it's a video whether it's a podcast Facebook, whatever that is. They record something and then they take it down like a bitch and then they act like it never happened. I can't stand that. I can't stand it. That's like one of the things that pisses me off so much. Look, if you've got the balls to do something or say something, staying beside it. I don't know. I don't know. That's one of the things that just bugs me. Another thing that bugs me in media, see, you guys are getting me fired up here. Another thing that bugs me in media is when people do stupid shit and then they just throw out a sorry, like they're fucking eight, and they think that all the shit that they did that led up to that sorry should just be washed away like uh like the shore come on come on no no no no no no no it's not what we do oh zombie dog i can be flexible ball trough episode was canada's best episode ball trough episode which one was that no Harry Dice you don't want to hear that no you would want to hear it I do talk to a lot of people I talk to a lot of people yep I talk to a lot of people some people in this industry are awesome and some people in this industry are turds.
    25:16
    They're turds. And some of the people that are turds make you think that they're awesome. And that they're, like, genuine. But they're the worst people ever.
    25:28
    Harry Dice, you pay some Patreon to hear some turd? Like, that's the good thing about me and Cromwell and all my buddies and shit like that. We've, uh, we've played legit the whole time. The whole time. I'm going to hide behind nothing.
    25:45
    That's why King Cromwell has a damn good job now in the industry. Yeah, Jobber, I don't know if I trust you, but... Fox City Pinball is talking about Canada's podcast, the trough episode. What did he call it? He mispronounced it, went on for a 20-minute bitch episode. Sounds like it's true bipolar colors. I can't hate on the pronunciation of words because I was raised in southern Indiana where words are hard to come by at times here and I have an advanced education I still can't speak he ruins it for all the Chris's there's not too many Zachs in pinball you got Zach Sharp where the Zachs are there so funny because Zach Sharp and I people messed up oh this is great you guys will like hearing this I don't know if I talked about this before So now that I'm a Stern dealer, I get a lot of Zach Sharp's emails. It's fucking awesome. So I guess people have them saved into their email, and when they type in Z, it like autofills it, and they just see Zach.
    26:59
    Zach, you know, instead of Zach at Flippin' Out Pinball, they're meaning to do Zach Sharp at SternPinball.com. So I get a lot of Zach Sharp's emails. And whenever I do, I promise I don't read them. I'm lying. I read every fucking while. And then I forward them to him. And we have like a running joke where we're going to put a dollar in a jar every time.
    27:30
    All right, let's see here. Harry Dice. This is Zach. Without naming names, I'll put it this way. You sold me a House of Whores premium.
    27:44
    Did I? I have to go back and see. There's a lot of House of Whore premiums. Man, I should just tell stories. I've got so many damn stories to tell.
    28:04
    What else would be fun to tell you guys? anything you guys can think of that you wanted a little clarity on i haven't had my nightcap so it's not like i'm gonna get too open and honest but i'll never lie to you she might not tell you everything yet pinball confessions that's what i loved about uh cromwell stream jesus by the usually by 10 o'clock going into after hours once bill webb was left i'm like sweating the whole time thinking oh ken don't don't say anything don't because ken gets fired up you can get ken fired up um because he's ken is a very passionate person he's damn good uh what he does he's super passionate super trustworthy and honest but if you screw the guy over it just he's like me don't let it down but i'm i was always afraid that ken would just start airing shit half drunk i never had to worry about bd airing shit because he didn't really keep up with any of it so that wasn't a big deal i was always worried about uh if anything i was always worried that bd would just throw up all over all over the fucking desk all right zombie dog says what's the biggest surprise piece of shit game you've ever bought oh surprise piece of shit game you're talking about like quality or just the title itself what game do I hate piece of shit game I don't know there's some early data east that are fucking atrocious cell phone died early data east let's see if I can pull this over here come on nope is it going to go No. It's in the damn wires, y'all.

    You guys are going to have to teach me how to raid so I can raid George at Don't Panic before we leave here. Is George alive yet?
    36:07
    CNK, that's actually a pretty good idea. Okay, yeah. Let me reach out to him. CNK, do you have an Escalera? Not a bad idea replacing that battery with lithiums. But, I mean, it's still going to be heavy.
    36:32
    What's the battery weigh? 10 pounds, maybe? Maybe a little heavier. Way lighter? Okay. Oh, I got you, Tommy Dog.
    36:56
    Isn't the Escalera like a lawnmower battery? It actually may be. It's like this big. Son of a bitch, today's charged forever, though.
    37:12
    I should tell you, I always forget to charge it, and I'm always like, son of a bitch. I just showed up somewhere and I forgot to charge this thing hadn't died once it's kind of like Kramer trying to run on E alright if you raid someone you'll type in your own twitch chat slash raid then the name of the stream you want to raid ok I have shitty memory short term memory so I'll forget that by the time we need to raid you but LazerLos is streaming we could raid him I do like LazerLos what has been your best selling Stern game since becoming a distributor hands down not even fucking close Jurassic Park Premium that's right a premium is the best selling game period not even a Stern period we've probably sold more Jurassic Park premiums than we have pros and LEs together we got a shit load of LEs we've probably sold more Jurassic Park premiums than we have now I've been doing this for a year and a half so not too long but we've sold more Jurassic Park premiums than we had all of Pirates and Wonka together possibly we've sold a shitload of Jurassic Park premiums and I still can't keep them in stock but that being said we do have a couple more uh in stock i think i'm getting this week so that's right well wrong one so definitely get a hold of me if you want one of those you know here's a confession ken made me buy this pc i'm used to mac so he made me buy this pc for streaming i fucking hate it i hate it it sucks the whole touchpad thing why does pc i'm gonna piss off a lot of you guys right now because i know a lot of you guys love pcs don't try don't even try to replicate perfection like the mac has perfected the touch pad don't even try it have a damn physical mouth eject from the machine it's so touchy it's i hate it it's stupid i hate it jobber said i heard uncle gary has set up a flipping out line just to make Games you are selling that would be nice. We've made Stern happy this last year
    40:00
    Track pad suck either way Sambuca says I use a PC PC for regular use Mac for making music Okay, I can see that. I Do like editing everything video wise and everything on my Mac And this isn't a bad piece. It's a what is it an MSI?
    40:19
    GS 65 stuff. I don't know what the hell it is, but man it sucks Jobber says well the piece you had the touchpad for a sec
    40:33
    Okay, doesn't matter still sucks Sam Booker says get a mouse Mac is a PC. They just have a Resistor on the chip that boots OS X. Okay. All right okay all right i don't know anything about computers so you're right i know nothing i just know that i fucking every time i buy a mac it lasts like 15 years every time i buy a pc i shit you not this brand new pc i will do nothing but stream i won't watch porn on it i'm not going to download shit off of it except for widgets and stuff the fucking thing will be, it will be slugging along. It will be locking up within a year. Guarantee. Guarantee.
    41:24
    That was flawless like that. Use what feels good, Harry Dye says. If it hadn't for making music, I would have bought, wouldn't have bought Pro Tools. Dude at the Mac store made music to tell me to get a Logic. Haven't looked back since. Okay.
    41:42
    A Lenovo since 2011? and Jobber, we know how much porn you watch. We know. All right. There's some of the Zach Passion. That was. Felt good. Woo. Felt good.
    42:02
    Better sales, Oktoberfest or Wizard of Oz, Yellow Brick Road edition. All right. Clappy, actually, really good question. Really good question. how many um it's probably close to the same i can figure this out we sold more yellow brick roads my passion book is coming soon yeah Pensomniac, you're going to get in the mod distribution space What makes you ask, Pensomniac? Because I'm getting to know you better That's a very interesting question Who have you been talking to?
    42:57
    So I can do three shots and just talk shit on Greg Bone For not being on the stream with you That T-Rex loving conservative ass bitch You know what? My cell phone's dead, y'all. I would have called Greg Bone right now just to fuck with him. You know what? That would be a fun segment since I have enough people that you guys know in my phone. Like, just fucking calling people super late at night and pissing them off. You can call Franchi really late at night. You can call Eric Manier. You can call whoever.
    43:30
    Pinsomniac, here's the thing. So, mods are such an odd space for pinball. with the innovation of 3D printing now.
    43:41
    I've learned a lot about 3D printing. I don't know enough, but just qualitatively, I know that there are so many different styles of different 3D printing techniques and materials you can use that I think there is a, I'll just say this, I think that there is a big hole in the market for upscale, expensive mods that change the game to a high degree. Interactive mods. I think a lot of these companies are really smart because they're doing the quick 3D printing, dome covers. but I'm talking about not just making a game look better but creating mods that will create more of a world under glass environment and will actually change the dynamic of the way a game shoots but yeah it's funny that you're I've been talking to some people about that very thing
    44:51
    Speaking of different kind of mods, Stern is not happy with Cleveland at all. See, here's the thing with Stern.
    45:01
    Do you think Stern cares about Cleveland? I mean, probably. Look, a high score C&K. C&K, I put that on for you last time.
    45:11
    Yeah, I mean, I guess that they are. If I was Stern Pinball, I would, people like Cleland and I think even Delt, the guy who hates me as much as he does on Pinside. He's been doing some audio mods and upgrades. If I'm starting Pinball, and I know that they're going to do an exceptional job with that, it makes me happy. Then I don't have to pay for some of the audio assets. I don't have to pay for some of the actors like Hopper's call-outs.
    45:46
    Or maybe you do, but you don't need to purchase the licensing on all of the assets. For example, if we could tap into Jersey Jack Pinball, the royal we as a hobbyist.
    46:03
    Thank you. Flawless is following. Thanks, Flawless. Don't follow too close. Jersey Jack Pinball, if they could tap into the operating system there, then we could get all of the Pirates of the Caribbean call-outs from the film. I don't know about you guys, but I really kind of don't give as big a shit of voice actors from the film giving you call-outs. Hit the left rant. I don't care. But I do want to hear the damn movie that the game represents and not to shit on Jurassic Park over here, but it's one of the things that's missing for me with Jurassic Park. it's one of the things, if I'm getting my passion out, I'm protected, don't worry about it, my lord up.
    46:50
    Wonka gets shit on all the time for lack of assets, and you heard the Canada rant and all that stuff.
    46:58
    But it legit has every call out from that film that I want. But then we have Jurassic Park, not a fucking call out, but people rate it. sometimes the the hypocrisy and i'm not picking sides here because i love stern pinball i love jersey jack pinball um i love uh american pinball cgc whatever spooky pinball i love a lot of parts that i love a lot of people there there's a turd in every bunch believe me there's a fucking turd in every bunch but yeah i didn't i don't i don't understand the hypocrisy sometimes i was talking about on the latest podcast like sometimes it feels like spooky pinball can't do anything wrong and they're always supported and right now you guys are you know easy because charlie's awesome and yeah they are awesome that's fine but you you can't argue the same point when one point is the same thing as the other but you have to at least be rational and if you're going to go all in on one thing you're going to go all in for every company i don't know where that came from or where we started with that. But I like the assets of the movie or the music or the TV show. I don't really care about Hopper telling me to get a multi-ball.
    48:20
    All right, let's see here. Sorry, went on a little rant there. Whew. okay harry so you said cleland did interesting i'm gonna have to talk with my contacts at stern and see what's going on there because that's interesting i'd be i'd be like do your thing boy so we don't have to pay for the shit he is doing it for free that's why i always tell people to um to support cleanly every time cleanly comes out with a rom for a game that i have i i give the guys some money pride pinball what's happening thanks for hanging out bud all right jobber says i actually see stern licensing the property like stranger things i'd get all upset overall to see there being people making money off stranger things without any kind of agreement with Netflix.
    49:20
    I don't know. But do you not see my point, Jobber? Maybe you don't have to pay for as many of the assets because you know that somebody's going to fill in the blank.
    49:32
    I just want a game to be good, but I want to hear what I pay to hear. Okay. Says Harry Dice. Pensomniac JP with a fake Australian accent. damn is JP not good though zombie dog likes dishonest chatting I know you all like this it's hard for me just to sit here and talk to you all I feel like I got a buddy sitting right here y'all are going to get me in trouble seeing case this is bandwagon mentality it sucks and there's no leader pride pinball 300 bitties thank you so much chat shake them bitties up in the air alright Fox City's pinball says Knative just bitching in Derek's NS pinball just about 30 minutes ago about Wonka while he was playing it nicely done there Chris nicely done glad he doesn't know I'm streaming right now
    50:38
    Zombie Dog says have fun calls with virtual ho bags and whatever floats your mama's boat Harry Dice throwing Cleland 50 bucks just because it was so good it's exactly what we need hey that's one of my uh it's one of my things in life that I hold true you guys are always going to see me if you know me and you get to know me a little bit better i overpay and i over support whenever i do support something just so it reinforces that behavior as a psychologist if somebody is working hard if somebody is going out of the way to do something for me it's not just a simple thank you it is i will throw every resource i have at that person to let them know how much appreciated they are because that's why people will continue to do the shit they do pride pinball you cut the string short okay yeah yeah so what uh pride what they're called clip right the clip system from measles selling them um pride was putting together a plastic protector it's like a fluorescent plastic protector set for elvira and coincidentally enough i purchased the same set he was installing tonight live on a stream uh last thursday and i think i just got him in the mail but it's every plastic and does anybody this is for mod nerds out there the convolux the convolux was a company out of germany that was making the fluorescent plastic protectors but they were doing them for every plastic and there is nothing like every plastic being fluorescent and i could never find anybody that would do that i did some custom orders from like pin bits whenever they were in business making some stuff but just the slings and in lanes of fluorescent plastic protectors that's just tickling the balls just a little tickle we don't want the tickle we want the whole thing the whole thing in there um now so let's see alright Sam Bukas says JP is awesome toys lay out the code the theme voices and art he's indifferent too Harry Dye says I didn't love Wonka at first to be honest but the latest code is some of the most fun I've had playing a game in years I'm not going to argue with that for me Wonka was a runaway hit this last year it's weird how like when i when i say stuff on the podcast and it always hurts me when people think i'm chilling because i just pinball is more important to me than the in business but i truly think that thing is close to a masterpiece and it's weird when you feel so strongly about something and you can support why you feel that way and other people miss the boat on it and it's subjective everybody likes what they like but some things are pretty objective Like when people are like, oh, this sucks. And you're like, well, no, it didn't suck. You just haven't played it. So how does it suck if you haven't played the game?
    54:02
    All right. Sambuca says, dialed in is my favorite JJP. Harry Dice says, I was in psych before I went into software development. So high five. That's right.
    54:13
    Kerry Hardy's back on. He said, if you could warn your past self about life as a distributor before becoming one, what would you tell yourself, Zach? and that ladies and gentlemen is why that son of a bitch host of the twiffies this year what a great question damn it carrie carrie what what you been doing i know you're hopping out you stream jumper you little stream whore yeah i'm gonna call you out but that doesn't seem a good question uh so carrie hardy again asked if you could warn your past self about life as a distributor before becoming one what would you tell yourself sack um i would tell myself you sure you sure you want to do this, but there were a lot of things I didn't realize before becoming a distributor.
    54:54
    Sometimes I get in trouble for being naive and believing that people are who they are at face value, because that's kind of how I was raised and that's how I am.
    55:06
    When you become a distributor, you meet a lot more people behind the scenes in pinball and a lot of people that are on stage in pinball.
    55:16
    And I would say that there is a significant amount, and it saddened me, there's a significant amount of people that are not how they are. They're just not. So that sucked.
    55:33
    There's a shitload of politics when it comes to distribution. I wasn't expecting that. but uh i've kind of worked through that there's a lot of shit carrie a lot of shit all right carrie hardy does have some damn good content go follow and subscribe to his youtube channel if you haven't already he did like one of the coolest series on uh on the getaway one of the coolest things i still go back to medieval madness on location i don't want to play the games i own thankfully i have a jp2 on location nearby says zombie dog pride pinball these are actually from has a link almost have to disassemble the playfield to install it i can see that if you've got there's like 20 plastics there in that fluorescent set so I can see taking off the ramps and stuff.
    56:34
    Fox City's pinball says that Wonka is great. Wonka's fucking great. It's a mean game. It goes back to the theory that I talked about with Dennis Creasel on episode 10 of the pinball show that when games are difficult physically, when games are physically difficult, you will see the ratings not be as... Oh, no shit, Zay. But you're going to see the ratings not be as high and a lot of people throw them out without really trying them. there's a difference between just shooting around on a game and playing on location willy-nilly but if you're playing that game all the time in a tournament or in a league or you've got that game in your basement or in your game room and you're playing it a lot things change a lot of a lot of things change for me games like metallica monster bash um yeah metallica monster bash those are games that if I were to play them on location, I'd be like, this is the greatest freaking game ever. I have to have this game. Once you get in my home, nope, nope, nope, nope. So when I say things like Popeye is a great game, I'd rather have Popeye over Metallica. I'm not lying. I'm not lying to you.
    57:50
    What else we got? I feel exactly that way when you talk about virtual pinball says Jobber well Jobber virtual pinball has its place it's got its place right Jobber said if I could tell myself about being distributed it would be to wear pants when answering the door politics are everywhere molly that is correct what's tougher alice cooper nightmare castle or wonka says fd zombie dog okay they're both sitting by each other right now which one is tougher it's a very vague question one could uh one could assess that question by the difficulty getting through the rules of the game one could assess it by the shot layout and the mechanics of the game geometry flipper mechanics could be another way Alice Cooper you can keep the ball alive in Alice Cooper like you can on Houdini Wonka if you have it set up default like I do out of the factory none of that left out lane post shit I would say Wonka is a more difficult it's a shorter ball time game yes alice cooper will keep you going now the shots on wonka are easier to hit than alice cooper has a lot of tight shots um but it's a bouncy one it's one of the things i'm not enjoying as much now that i have even more time on alice cooper is i respect it's a great game but it's very much like again the contradiction so when people are like oh I love Alice Cooper and I hate Houdini geometry you guys do near the same I mean it's the shots are the the openness of the shots is about the same Cooper WD Coopy Double D thanks for following alright Harry Dice what you got he said I could say Zach sold me my house of whores he's possibly the nicest guy in pinball I originally thought it wasn't you then I re-looked at my receipts you've been the nicest distributor I've encountered and you were willing to help me meet a deadline No shit. That's really cool to hear.
    60:35
    Oh, yes. Can you guys hear those notifications? If not, it's going to sound weird when I'm like, oh, yes. Thanks, Molly Hatchet.
    60:44
    Molly Hatchet. Subscription, everybody. Thank Molly Hatchet for me. Okay. Sambuca said, that's fair, but the machine has a dozen games to capture me. But the machine has a dozen games to capture me. If that is disappointing, then it will not fare well in my rating.
    61:04
    Sambuca, what are you saying? Chuckles773! I just like reading out the usernames here. That's fair, but the machine has a dozen games to capture me. Oh, so you're saying it's got a dozen games to capture me. It's got a dozen games, and that's it. Okay.
    61:26
    And if that's disappointing, then it's not going to fare well in my rating. I can see that. So it's got to get you in a dozen games. Alright.
    61:36
    Okay, okay, okay. Alright. Wonka is one of... Man, you guys, Wonka is greatness. But I've gotten to a point on Wonka now. I did get my second golden ticket. Son of a bitch. Thank God.
    61:48
    Wonka pisses me off more than... I might buy it for a dollar too. Probably more than any game that I own right now. But I... Wonka... Alright, so the games I've got in the collection right now. Willy Wonka, Alice Cooper, Elvira, Stranger Things, Jurassic Park, Star Trek Premium, Beatles, Whirlwind, Tales of Arabian Nights,
    62:16
    Circus Voltaire, Popeye, The Shadow. That's what's in here. Oh, and Ghostbusters Pro behind the green screen. But out of all those games,
    62:25
    lighting it up on Wonka, it feels better on that game than any game that I currently own. Yep. All right, what's C&K saying? Oh, C&K, show Molly some love. Thanks, C&K.
    62:46
    Jobber says, yeah, I felt like that after about five games. I never had to play Wonka again. C? Oh, no, Jobber. Actually, you know what, Jobber? You and I disagree on almost everything, so you continue to have that thought.
    63:00
    What's the downside of Wonka? Let's bring that up. I could argue my way out of the paper bag with Wonka.
    63:08
    Tiki Pinball says Houdini is amazing. Get one. Houdini's really good. The critique I have about Houdini is, you guys know how much I love Houdini.
    63:18
    Critiques on Houdini are, it's not the shots. Balzer did a good job with the layout. Flipper mechanics on American pinball games sometimes feel a bit weird.
    63:28
    And I don't know if it's the P-Rock, but the code is a little, the code, the structure is great. I love the rules. Houdini is like a dialed in, but nobody wants to admit it when it comes to the code. I promise you. Some of you guys know what I'm talking about. But no, it's like a, I don't know if it's glitchy. It's just, it's laggy. It just doesn't flow like the operating system on JJP or Stern.
    64:00
    All right, Harry Dye says, I wouldn't say Houdini. It just wasn't for me. My favorite call out on the game, though, since I live a town over, the greatest escape I ever made was leaving Appleton, Wisconsin. I do like that.
    64:14
    It's clunky. A lot of clunky games. Plus, I do think that there is, I love this. This is like pinball philosophy with Zach.
    64:25
    Clunky is a weird term that we use in pinball. Clunky can be defined by bricking shots, that is narrow entrances or exits on a shot layout. Or it can mean the materials used and the feedback that you get when entering and exiting a shot. For example, are George Gomez games clunky?
    64:55
    Can you say that they're clunky and they're flowy at the same time? Are you contradicting yourself? Can something be clunky and flowy? It flows, but it clunks around a lot. Or does clunk mean it goes in and comes out? It's not that smooth. What does clunky mean? Sambuca thinks that Houdini and Oktoberfest need beefier PCs Fox City says I'm from Appleton, Wisconsin you son of a bitch Speaking of, all you guys from up there where's the broke dicks at?
    65:38
    Four men you guys want to hear a story okay i'll give you guys a for real story who here listens to um who here listens to poor man's pinball podcast cdk radical is not radical is clunky where where in the hell is radical clunky oh god Alright Harry Dye says to me you say clunky I think South Park Okay so you getting clunk from gobble holes and just ball stopping Is that what you're saying? Were you getting clunky?
    66:24
    Chopper says, yeah, I agree with Zach. Radical is a lot of fun. Sam Booker says, I used to when I was still driving.
    66:35
    Okay. Jobber says, the fact that all pins are not running some kind of 8-core with 16 gigs of RAM is beyond me.
    66:46
    That whole discussion is beyond me because I have no clue what any of it means. I'm still just put off by seeing K. What the hell are you talking about, Radicals Clunky?
    66:57
    Oh. Mm. Mm-mm-mm. So, the Poor Men's Pinball Podcast. when these guys first started uh whenever we've got like new people that are entering the pinball media podcast community i try to befriend people and and support them welcome them into the community to help them any way that i can and i i try to do that just because i i like listening to podcasts i want more people doing it which is why we created it off the record and nobody's I'm fucking doing it, but whatever. But when they entered in, God bless them. They're sweet guys. And I made a joke, kind of like the, screw you, Ken Cromwell. So I made the Ken Cromwell, almost like a light hazing, welcome to the community. I'm going to bust your balls a little bit. I'm going to bust your balls. People are going to laugh. But in return, those people are going to check you out because they want to see what it's all about. And I did that with them. And I was joking around on a podcast saying something about, well, you've got these new guys. What's with all the self-deprecating pinball podcast names? You've got Loser Kid. All these new guys. Loser Kid was making fun of themselves with the name. And then I said, you've got Broke Dick's Pinball Podcast. And it caught on. It caught on pretty well. and needless to say they didn't like that they didn't like it like Ken Cromwell didn't like the whole Dr. Phil bit let's see oh we got some chat in here okay about to drop a hot take give me Austin Powers over South Park you know what I like both those games I do neither one of them are great there's a lot of fun independence day is not clunky because there are five ramps that are four inches from the flavors call that a flyback jobber says these are seven thousand dollar toys they can afford the material cost you're buying the boards not buying them from dell pinball princess jillian's in the house what's up girly i guess i'm immune to that humor work with todd tucky and you have to have thick skin i love me some todd tucky all right harry dice says you know what um i only see yuri dice i'm sorry for calling you harry dice but look that's an example of what i do once i stick on something it's just it's easier for me it's funnier harry dice says pinball fans are like comedians we all bust on each other and we get it back it's just fun you're in a community now but it is not just fun for a lot of people i see that That's my naivete. See, I'm from southern Indiana. I don't know the words.
    70:09
    Naivete. What the hell is that word? I have a doctorate and I don't know that word. But anyway, no, no. I do that because I receive the ass end of jokes and I think it's fun and funny too. But no, people really take offense to it. They really, really take offense to it. Kim Cromwell's not going to tell you but he was downright pissed off that I did that Dr. Phil bit I didn't know it, I thought I was just busting his chops he was one of my good buddies, no he was really mad same with poor men, they did not like me calling them broke dicks what's the difference though broke dick, poor men, same thing to me apples and apples there zombie dog says what's with all the hate on our tower fest looks fun and the art is fun so the hate naivete did i just say it harry dice naivete uh what's with all the hate on octoberfest it's a great game fun game to shoot it's just the theme that's all sambuca he's talking to jobber says the problem is you want them being produced for a long time and so on buying retail comes with the danger that you can't get parts anymore after three or four years and if you buy from Dell HP and so on, guarantee you to pay the extra. Okay.
    71:30
    Some original theme love. Siggy shower. No, we don't want original themes. I know, Siggy, I know you love those, but.
    71:37
    Oh, here. Sigs, Sigs. I don't want, I don't want to burst your bubble. Here's the deal, man. Original themes. Here's the deal. name me an original theme that you love more than most regular themes just name one job or you're off in the weeds Harry Dice says I feel that way about Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man love the themes I just don't personally think they were good games okay Jobber it is 420 isn't it buddy it is 420 hmm I really blew through that day without celebrating medieval horse skin somebody's using me uh all right seeing cases if you tell me that barrel shot is makeable I will unfollow forever here's your chance with or without the new coil stopper.
    73:01
    All right, so C and K. What do you mean by unmakeable? Because it is makeable. It's definitely makeable. How easily is it makeable?
    73:11
    Meh. No, it's a different question. Pinball Princess Jillian is smoking some weed right now. I guess up in Pennsylvania Molly says it's plenty of time to puff puff pass Motherfucker Siggy where you at with that original theme I was gonna Help illustrate The point thanks streamlabs pinballprincess shout out to little caviar gold y'all like caviar I don't like that shit thank you jobber for letting me know what will remove you as quickly as possible next time I am around you I will just take up smoking and I will spark up a cigarette every time you say something fucking stupid, and I want you to be gone. Thank you. Thank you for that.
    74:24
    Oh, shit, everybody's passing it? Where's mine at? Man, y'all left me out. I got an actual green screen back here. Look.
    74:36
    Is it not going to wave? Where's my ripples at? No? Okay. I guess it's not going to work. All right. Harry Dice says, Zach's a brand, not real caviar. You cotton-headed ninny muggins. You cotton-headed minnie muggins. He's right.

    80:16
    Okay. Yup, yup. Let's see here. Making it rain some babies. Mm-mm. clouds yell backs up Zach cloud clouds yells back Zach I can't explain my name without a paragraph of text you said it was you said it was a Roman right or Greek mythology or something now although I'm ignorant to us all that shit's the same for me uh roll call pop wood man harry dice is hitting on all cylinders tonight thank you thank you thank you thank you lurks fox city pinball watch out fucking lurks is in your back backyard right now why hasn't the bone bought a freaking og de jp yet zombie dog because he's tight ass number one number two it's not his most favorite game but he wants it to complete the collection. Number three, the biggest reason, I feel like David Letterman, the biggest reason, the number one reason that Greg Bone doesn't buy a Jurassic Park by Data East is he's a tight ass that wants a restored Jurassic Park pinball machine for half the price of what it takes to buy a fucking restored Jurassic Park pinball machine. The guy is stuck in 2000 and uh 15 he thinks you can buy this shit for like two thousand dollars ain't gonna happen greggy i love you baby but ain't gonna happen okay so uh cloud yells back old man yells at the cloud from the simpsons yep yep i like that sam buca says big time big time Vaughn is in the US near me okay alright my apologies for some reason I thought it was an overseas podcast or a stream did he really sell that new stranger things you showed up to his house with because he was afraid I swear to you guys I got so much bullshit for that and he got bullshit for it and Greg's not used to getting called out by the pinball community for, oh, he's just having his friend have a game. He's fucking lying just to shill the shit. Got it. Nothing eats me up more than that shit.
    82:46
    Here's the deal that I'll have with you guys. If I'm ever legit selling something and trying to shill something, I'll let you know. I promise you I'll let you know. Brother's got to make some money, so I'm going to shill the hell out of this. I'll let you know. But no, the reason that Greg Bone got rid of his Stranger Things is because he saw the market was kind of going down on them and people were shitting on it and canada was ripping it up everybody's ripping it up and the guy's afraid so so damn afraid to lose a dollar and he look he gets he gets he gets a good price but he was so afraid of losing money that he was like shit dude like i love this game but i'm gonna have to sell it and i'm like well why didn't you sell i'm trying to think what else he has he's like well i'm already screwed on that one i already know I'm going to lose money. So I'm not going to get rid of that one. Like once it, this is the delusion of Greg bone for all of you guys that know Greg bone. For those of you who don't follow and subscribe to straight down the middle of pinball show on YouTube. And you'll, you'll get to know Greg bone and his mama, but Greg bone is so afraid. There's like this threshold. If he feels like he is going to, if he's already lost money, then he'll, he'll keep the stupid ass pinball machine if he hates it until the day he dies but if he knows that he can get out without spending any money or losing any money he will get rid of his most favorite game it's just the way it is it's the weirdness and it's the neuroticism of a greg bone harry dice says dude i was there when you sold him the monsters wasn't invested myself but i was happy to see him get his first new in box game yeah that one Greg really liked the monsters at first and then the code did wear him out that one he yeah that's why he sold it rule one of pinball never listen to Kaneda he's right about some things I'll give him some credit he is right about some things rule number two of pinball buy what you like that's no shit but if you can't play it I got your back listen to me I'll point you in the right direction crazy yeah and uh pinsomniac rule three if you buy a xenon it will kick your ass for some reason I've never been hot and heavy over xenon I love the way it looks but hmm king got me drunk and I woke up with that pinsomniac laughing oh zombie dog can I tell him about that I don't want to not I don't want to tell him if uh If not.
    85:28
    Pentomniac says, the only thing I don't like on Stranger Things is the left ramp not catching. True. Yeah, I don't like that either. I don't like that. Mine was, I tried to adjust a couple things between streams. Mine was catching more this time. It's still not right. I think the problem is there's like a link back there. And the link has give. You know how like a flipper link has a little bit of give to it because it's a link? I think it has a little give so when there's friction that hits sorry if this isn't communicating well but when the ball hits that lever back there there's enough reverberation that it slows the ball down enough that the ball does not freely go up the lever to that magnet I think that's what it is rule number four buy an escalator to save your back you know it's cheaper than back surgery I have the other thing on the escalera I'm not going to sell the things if I don't like them oh shit I started a game I'm not going to sell them if I don't like them let's play while we sit down I can't even see I've got freaking Tommy flippers in my laptop I'm actually playing the show oh
    86:48
    We'll stay in service mode. Yeah, we are, Pinzomniac, we are making the unofficial, official, unwritten, unspoken, but spoken rules of pinball.
    87:13
    The pin mix guy. You know what, Sambuca? I've never had a pin mix. Has anybody else had a pin mix done? I'm not. I'm really weird about the pin mixes. I know they support Buffalo and those are my buddies over there. And they love that stuff. But I've not done the pin mix. I have a problem with the pin mix because like on Metallica, if I own Metallica, let's say my favorite song on Metallica was not featured on that game. something in my brain will not allow me to have that thing reprogrammed to play that song because it's not represented on the plastics or on the dnd or the animations am i weird is it just me am i weird i can't do it like it would mess with me so bad i've not seen the disco maiden in person all right anything else before I take off unofficial rule number two if you get a replay leave it for the kids unless you're too drunk to remember to that's pretty good I do like that that's a good rule somebody jotting these down jobber if I can do something is there worse sound than in data east star wars jobber you son of a bitch you're right again biddy's up in chat for jobber who's actually right about two things he had a good idea earlier and now he said something that rings very very true star wars data east sound is atrocious. It's atrocious.
    88:58
    It is bad. It's not, you know what, I take it back. It's not even as bad. It's just so flippin' repetitive over and over and over. The same damn sound. And then you go play another Data East and guess what? You hear the same damn sound effects. That's one of the things I do not like about Data East. I do love some of the Data East, but man, some of them sound effects that they rehash over and over. fd zombie dog will you make some flipping out pint glasses or fun bullshit for us you know what here's the thing uh you 26 are in here right now whenever the new format comes i might like take a week or two off to to really start this new this new format thing but once we do my ass will be giving away stuff every single stream i'm not talking about no bullshit twip keychains i'm not talking about no t-shirts that nobody wants. No. Giving away good shit.
    89:54
    Not a pinball machine, but some good shit. Ash33. Hey, Ash. Thanks for speaking up. They said, what's your opinion on World Poker Tour? I'm thinking about grabbing one.
    90:14
    World Poker Tour. but first off I don't have enough time on it to give you a great opinion on it but what I do know about the game what I played and what I liked is it'll keep you busy for a long time it's a Keith Johnson rule set Steve Ritchie layout but you wouldn't know it because it's very atypical Steve Ritchie it has some fun shots in it it's got an upper play field that's pretty cool a lot of mechanics in a lot of drop targets I liked it I just don't have enough time on it to say whether I love it or not.
    90:47
    Fox City Pinballs, I would love to make some Dennis Creasel shirts. Oh, damn. Should have brought my Mac over here. But I have drafted up a personal t-shirt for me because Dennis won't allow me to sell it to anybody. But I've got a personal t-shirt. It's a pocket tee, but the graphic right here is of Dennis Creasel, four inches, but he's inside the pocket. so when you lift up the pocket you see the rest of his body and he's a cowboy he's got the cowboy hat on he's just smiling away, my little crazy love that son of a bitch yeah the bad glass on world poker tour is rough I'd like to give away a pinball machine at some point jobber see you say something good and then you blow it. You just blow it.
    91:44
    And we know you are blowing it, weren't you? All right, ZombieDog says, let us know what we can do to interact or have some fun. Can we Twitch tie in with vid or something interesting at some point? Yes, we can.
    92:00
    What's the discount on a game for getting a flipping out tattoo? I'm going to tell you what, Harry Dice, you get a flipping out tattoo that is visible by, I'm all about marketing. You get a flipping out tattoo that is visible when you're wearing t-shirts or shorts.
    92:16
    I will give you one hell of a gift certificate because I'm not allowed to give you discounts. But I will give you one hell of a gift certificate.
    92:28
    Yeah. If anybody wants to get a flipping out logo on them somewhere, I will give you the world. All right. Siggy Sauer said I actually had a pop-up ad for Silver Ball Swag with Dennis on it and started cracking up. Yeah, but freaking Jeff took it away. Jeff took away that t-shirt.
    92:49
    Yeah, got rid of it. Oh well. It was a clever t-shirt. Sold a lot, but oh well. Oh well. Gotta do knuckles. Yeah, that's right.
    93:08

    Man It's going to be our secret. You, me, and the 26 of us. It's going to be our secret. Oh, man. I love this. He's going to have some warm Orby goat's milk before bed.
    95:59
    Yeah, prank calls. Absolutely. I can't. I don't know how much I can prank them. Like, the better prank for me, because I love annoying my friends. It's one of my favorite things. It's just to call them spontaneously. Let them know they're live just because it'll piss them off because they're not prepared. And just try to keep them on the phone for as long as I can.
    96:27
    Alright, it's our secret. Phone, music, drink, good and bullshit accessory segment. Okay, yeah. And y'all, I can't drink, y'all. I just, I can't drink. I hate drinking. I do not like to drink. I hate it.
    96:43
    Don't get me wrong. When I'm drunk, I love it. When I'm buzzed, I love it. But to me, being fucked up for 10% and excruciating pain and sickness 90%, it's not worth it. It's why I don't go to jail. Because I don't like consequences at all. I hate them. call greg and tell him back to the future is just announced and you just got first pick oh yeah uh jobber says this williams flintstones underrated no i think it's right where it needs to be it's a cute game it's a fun game to shoot it's got some really cool stuff in it um but not a long-term keeper unless like you just love that theme and you like the nostalgia job, I, look, I've got games that, I'm like a pinball snob, and a little, and a dumbass, like, I have games that I don't play, but I own, just because I like them every once in a while, like, there's no reason that I should own a $12,000 Tales of Arabian Nights,
    97:48
    no reason, that game does not play, it actually fucking plays better than any Totem I've ever play, but it doesn't play $5,000 more, $5,000 better than a $7,000 totem, but sometimes you just want the best.
    98:11
    Man, you know what? Harry Dice, man, I wish I could have just a couple drinks and it not hurt me. It's almost like I'm allergic to the shit. Go back, if you guys subscribed to Straight Down the Middle Pinball Show, I did an unboxing on Pirates of the Caribbean by Jersey Jack Pinball Solo, and I took a shot every, what was it guys, five minutes? A shot of Captain Morgan's pirate.
    98:35
    And I was so messed up. So unbelievably messed up. But like my face gets flushed. It's like a thing.
    98:47
    It's really bad. Siggy Sour yeah and the shots and that's the problem with me once I get to rolling I just don't feel it and I don't and it's bad it's just really bad right now I'm getting antsy just thinking about being hungover I remember spring break in high school High school Yeah I got really drunk in high school on spring break This is my outro story, y'all. Don't judge me.
    99:31
    So, I was a, I wasn't a trouble team. I was always, in high school, I was always this. This is shit you're not going to get on any medium that I do. I was not a trouble team. But, I was not a great team. but my philosophy in life is always, and I, look, I have teenage patients that I see that I try to tell them the same thing. You can have fun. You can do whatever the hell you want to do within reason. Just don't do anything extremely stupid. You can bend the rules. You can have fun if you don't give anybody a reason to think that is why you're a bad person. For example, a lot of people smoke weed. It is what it is.
    100:15
    I don't care if people smoke weed. The problem is, if you smoke weed and then you're a lazy-ass piece of shit, people are going to blame it on the weed. Don't give them an excuse to blame it on the weed. Do whatever the hell you want in life, but if you're fucking up, it's going to be on you, man. So I wasn't a bad kid. Got my shit done. Got good grades. Smart guy. So I treated people well. Kissed a lot of ass from teachers. Helped them out. Helped out people that couldn't help themselves. Pretty outstanding person in high school. But had a lot of fun. Broke a lot of rules. Always backed it up, though. So, spring break. Panama City Beach, of course. Because that's what people that can't afford good vacations do, right? In southern Indiana, we go down to the cheap-ass Sandpiper. Shout-out to Sandpiper. Anybody remember the Sandpiper Resort in Panama City Beach or Edgewater? Remember the Edgewater? Oh, my God. Was it Edgewater? Jesus, man. I'm going back here. So, got drunk off of Crown Royal.
    101:19
    Bloated. Loaded. Don't remember half of that night. Then back to the cards, remember? Back in, so I graduated in 2002 in high school. So, this was 2001 or so. And, was it 2001? Sorry, short-term memory loss. 2001. I'm not even paying attention to chat. this is my story time here my outro 2001 uh i got really drunk with a bunch of guys down at spring break and it was nuts and did a lot of stupid shit down there but the next day the next day and this is probably why i don't like drinking crown royal and coke crown and coke crown and coke kept going kept going i can feel i was rubber band man man fucking I'm fucking feeling all good. And next day, let's go down to the beach. Everybody want to fucking go on the beach. You got to go to the Waffle House when you go down to Panama City before the beach. Go down to the Waffle House, fucking eat. Go to the beach.
    102:18
    Guys, I'm fucking sweating. Like, it's hot. It's getting hot, guys. It's 80 degrees out here, man. Of course it's hot. We're in Florida. Okay, it's hot. I ain't feeling so good, y'all. So, I said, I'm going up to the room. Fucking, I don't feel good at all. Go up to the room. And, you ever have that feeling you're about to throw up? Keep that in mind. So, I'm about to throw up. It's like, holy shit, I've got to get up to this elevator. I'm rocking like I have a problem. I've got to get up to this elevator. I've got to get up to the elevator. I've got to get down to the fucking hallway. Am I going to shit my pants or am I going to throw up first? Which one's going to happen? It's going to be ugly. Whichever one it is first. It might happen at the same time. I'm going to get the trash can to be thrown up while I'm shitting in the toilet. It's bad, y'all. So I get to the door, open up the fucking door, go to running, and all of a sudden, the people that I went down there with, one of my best buddies, his stepdad was right in the way in the path of the bathroom. Here I am, shit about to come out of my pants, vomit about to come out of my mouth, and the deepest soul, the deepest part, trenches of my gut, this crown of coke, was about to come up. so he stops and does the stop and chat, and I don't want to be rude, here I am fucking 17 years old, wasn't supposed to be drinking the night before, so I try to proceed to sit there, sorry again chat for not following, but I'm into this, I try to sit there, and I try to hold the vomit,
    103:49
    I'm getting grossed out thinking about it, I try to hold the vomit, not in the mouth, but just try to hold it down, think of something else, think of something else trying to hold the shit it's about to come out and he's talking he's talking like this motherfucker's not gonna shut up he's not gonna shut up he says hey well you look a little pink in there like a white a white whiter than i am now like i'm white white so i get really white and he's like zach are you good and by the time he said like peek it or he said you're looking you okay zach you look a little sweaty about to pass out zach i fucking vomit black black liquid spews out of my mouth like a fountain you guys and he dodges like he was quick quick step dad dodges whoa he said whoa shit and vomit everywhere and i didn't drink for like four years after that and i don't remember like i the joke would be funnier if i shit my pants and i would have been fine with that i don't remember if i it or not so i can't i can't give you the uh the extra ad on there but that was my spring break junior senior year drunk ass moment um where i vomited crown royal and haven't drank it since all right let's get back into chat before we sign off all right you guys been chatting it up i love y'all okay let's see here let's see here where did i leave off that'd be a problem for a drinker letting alone a non-drinker yep hashtag no judgment harry dice zack someday you and i are going to sit and i'll tell you exactly why i left the field hopefully in 2021 harry dice would love to do that jobbers says i remember paintball city for doing a wcw monday night monday nitro from there when i was in high school oh my gosh a little ddp a little kick little uh what was that called the diamond cutter uh let's see oh yeah i dropped out i love you man uh that is incredible i love pro wrestling horrible feeling i did shitty at school before before we'd though so you were gonna hang out man that's funny uh this is some great stuff molly said that reminds me of the scene in van wilder where the guy is trying to hold it in before he shit in the garbage can. Moly, moly, moly. Exactly that. Oh, man. Harry Dice's Crown Royal is a rough one.
    106:22
    Zombie Dog. It could have been a movie. I need to illustrate that. Maybe that's what I'll give. It's not even relevant to pinball. I want to give that to Silver Ball Stories.
    106:33
    A pure washing machine. Dude. Oh, my God. Look at these fucking kids. How many parents are out there? It's like when your kids vomit in their sheets. You can't just throw that shit. Like, you got two choices. You can't throw the shit in the wash like it is. Any parents out there, the conundrum of what do I do with vomit sheets? Son of a bitch. There's like chunks in the hot dogs and shit. Two choices. Either you just throw the shit away. You call it. All right. The sheets. We've had the sheets for a while. I'm throwing that shit away. I'm too lazy. I'm fucking tired. I want to go back to bed. You got vomit all over you. You got the shit in your hair. Or Do you go shake Shake that shit out Front yard fucking here I am at 2 in the morning Shake I got 4 kids you guys So I'm shaking out puke At least once a year Oh my god Oh we've only got 18 minutes to raid panic You guys want to raid panic We got to now Oh my god I puked in a washing machine Thank you for that sounds like a solid drinking story it was and that's why that's like one reason why I don't drink anymore cause that shit right there true story I've been to DDP's house for real DDP looks like he's been on some drugs Zach do you think we'll see a Williams IJ remake yes it won't be for a long time but yes Harry Dice said I'll be modding Panic Don't Flip might as well keep our own Harry Dice thank you for stopping by damn it I feel like I made a new friend Pentomniac says LaCroix or normal water so this is sparkling ice water orange mango not my favorite but this is kind of what was left um in the fridge i like the sparkling ice i think it's carbonated yep it's carbonated yep it's carbonated i don't uh i'm not a big la croix person and regular water just is boring my go to is pepsi it's my crutch alright what else we got people about to call it we're about to call it jeez this is 1116 I don't sleep so it's not a big deal carbonation is good but here's the thing I can't drink sparkling water.
    109:32
    Pensomniac. I can't drink sparkling water. Just carbonated water? That is the nastiest shit ever. When people have that,
    109:41
    horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I can't do it. Harry Dye says, I come by three times a week and my mom and I do DVP yoga. That was the only thing that saved Jake this week. Oh man Y'all were good tonight You guys were really really really good tonight You guys need to give yourselves a round of applause You were fucking amazing And my apologies I curse more than a lot of streamers I just can't edit myself If I'm going to do this shit I'm going to have fun with it Just sorry Sorry sorry sorry pence omniac with a really good question how has the quarantine affected you as a distributor specifically um you know i was talking to some people at stern the other day and they're asking the same thing and it's really tough to say because there are so many factors at hand here you guys have to remember that there is an ebb and flow of normal pinball sales throughout the year it is seasonal at times it can be seasonal and it's title based so what you'll see is hands down it's not even close we sell more stern pinball machines than any other manufacturer possibly combined that's just how many stern pinball machines sell over some of the other manufacturers just as what it is uh but so you're going to see an ebb and flow so when a new game comes out sales are going to go up and then the time between a new game drop and the beginning of another game drop it's like a linear like a bell curve it goes back down so it's hard to say what uh what this quarantine stuff how it has affected us because sales are down somewhat but i would anticipate sales to be down because we haven't had a new title since stranger things back in January. So we were very likely, if I had to guess, due by Stern to have a new title beginning of April. So we're now past that point. Because what happens is, before a new title comes out, if somebody wants an Elvirus, somebody wants a Stranger Things, somebody wants a Jurassic Park, they may not pull the trigger because they can only get one pin. They're up for a pin and they're not going to get one for a while. So they're not even going to pull the trigger on a Jurassic Park that I have in stock or a Stranger Things I have in stock because they're going to say, well i don't want to buy that right now blow my load if you will on i'm silly i don't want to i don't want to blow it on uh on this before i see the new title so it's the market's going to go down on sales uh until the new title comes out new title comes out i'm here to tell you this national is supposed to be fucking big uh then they'll shoot up really shoot up really high so I think it's going to affect me and Nicole more negatively over the next couple months when the stock is gone and Stern's not making as many pins. They're going to come back to produce pinball machines in May, June, July, hopefully, but it's not going to be like they were before. They're probably not going to make as many as they were before because they can't afford to stockpile the stuff because the economy is going to be down. So that's where it's going to hit me, and that's where I'm going to need the support more than anything. But as of today, we sold a pinball machine, a couple within the last week. And for some reason, Escalera's last week have been, people have been buying those. So hopefully that answers your question.
    113:26
    So yeah, I think it will hurt more over the next couple months than it has right now. So you know I love you. Thanks, man.
    113:39
    Yeah, definitely. Fake ass shit. Harry Dice says, One of the nicest things ever. We wouldn't be here without you, Zach. It's like I say to a friend that can't afford to come to a gathering. Everybody can't be together with you gone. Very true.
    113:58
    Very true. Todd fell about King Cromwell. I'm going to drag his ass back on the stream. I'm trying to work out a deal with Ken where... So here's this. Another good idea. I'm going to try to work out a deal with Ken and Jersey Jack where BD will host Ken coming in once a month to have a JJP showcase night. So once a month on a Monday night, we'll do JJP night and Ken Cromwell will come in. Maybe he'll bring in Eric Menier or a guest, Joe Katz or somebody, and they'll all hang out like old times. And we'll showcase a JJP game. JJP game you will sell more deep root pens than Stern and JJP and American and CG seen very soon sorry I read it like that jobber unless he's bullshit like that I read it like that alright have you had any cancelled orders another good question I did have one cancelled medieval madness royal and I had a wait list so that was filled pretty much immediately now I had more cancellations on um had some stranger things le cancellations that was pre-covid stuff a lot of wonka backouts that's pre-covid stuff everpin's gonna have people backing out we've kind of changed our policies a little bit because that kills us it does but I'm not gonna bitch about it because I'm here to serve customers. That means I get stuck with the game. That's the name of the game.
    115:35
    Alright. Harry Dye says I'd faint if we had a JJP night. The Royals sold out? Or how did they do that launch? Oh, dude. Zombie. Yeah. Immediately.
    115:51
    They were gone. And we got a lot of them. They were gone. Immediately. classics special editions and royals sold out immediately um oh rk thanks for the host damn it thank you everybody go and follow and subscribe to the arcade make sure you have ours in there subscribe and follow that beautiful metroid prime homebrew but um yeah they sold out immediately royals sold out immediately I kind of want one but I kind of don't I don't know if I don't know if a medieval madness would hold my interest I've never really hot and heavy over medieval madness but damn that topper though we actually just got a you guys might want to hear this I came across a special edition medieval madness again sold out But this last week I got one and I haven't advertised it yet because I was waiting for a buddy that wanted one or anything. So if anybody needs a Medieval Manus special edition, I'll have to check my paperwork. But I think right now it is available and it's literally in stock right now. I got it in inventory.
    117:13
    I'm Lord Howard Hartz. Who the fuck are you? all right how fast do ravens sell when you get them new and stop oh jobber fucking hilarious regular groucho marx aren't you fucking jobber i i love you and i hate you at the same time i don't even know if it's possible to love and hate you well steven from uh pinball undesirable same kind of relationship hate that son of a bitch but damn i love him god i love that man there's that stern fan fly away this is a good place to be that's right every stream needs the resident troll who doesn't take it too far jobber takes it too far sometimes jobber's consistent though he's like a troll everywhere here's a question Zach shoot yeah 33 says I'm like you medieval madness lasted a month for me couldn't love it I respect the game it is one of the greats but I don't know it's good but same attack from Mars same way it's awesome it's great fun as hell man but then you know i'm like i could be playing a shadow i like it a little better oh zombie dog's really tightening up here all right zombie dog says where would you do how would you do a flipping out created pinball meetup pinball meetup at universal studios hotel or something fun okay But, could we do it anywhere besides a pinball show though?
    119:16
    Pins on the act. I, see this, I'm going to be real with you. I couldn't disagree more. Alright, zombie dog.
    119:27
    Where would you, could you in a house? Could you with a mouse? With a box? With a fox? Where would I have a flippin' out meetup? again Cromwell's house but he's got a cool pad to hang out at um a meetup if I could have one anywhere I don't know maybe we've run out replay effects all to ourselves I don't know we need to though
    120:02
    Harry dies dead but you still have stranger things Is it like me Where it's the perfect theme Strange things is a great theme for me I like how it shoots too though I like the rules, how it shoots I like the toys on it The magnet and shit I like the demogorgon I love the UV shit There's a lot of stuff I love about it Alright Jobber Thanks for hanging out as always buddy really really do appreciate that Pensomniac said I recently learned all the rules for Monster Bash I tend to gravitate towards games with deeper more complex rule sets so where would you put that one at Pensomniac
    120:57
    where would you put Monster Bash it has depth I get that it's just the Those rules just never speak to me. They just never speak to me. It's more a, the rule set feels more of like a competitive pinball type of rule set. In which case, I just, I'm not smart enough for, I'm not smart enough to keep all of those things going.
    121:24
    Narnia's in the house. What's up? Black's Rack. Some new names here. Thank you. Well, I know of you guys. I've seen you guys in chat and stuff, but I haven't seen you tonight. Narnia says, I'm hosting a party when we can get together again. I'm having all my friends bring machines to my house, and I'm going to set them up around my property. I'm calling it pinball in the country. You going to play some country music?
    121:49
    Damn it. I want an invite because I'm going to be there. All right, what would you keep if you had one choice? Stern, Jurassic Park, Elvira, Stranger Things. I think Elvira wins in my opinion.
    122:04
    See, Rack, that's tough because legit, Elvira, Stranger Things, JP. They're my trio of Sterns right now. So that is really, really, really tough.
    122:23
    Okay, makes sense, Pinsom. Makes sense, though. yeah we all need to raid let me know when he goes live though and if you guys got to cut out uh because you're modding his channel uh you guys have been fantastic you got some don't panic flip crew up in here and i i couldn't i couldn't enjoy people more than than these two that have been in chat Think Stern will make Batman again? That's a good question because I get calls every week about a damn Batman It is discontinued guys It's gone, it's over, it's done But will they do it again?
    123:08
    They said no You may have to wait for a vault on that I don't know, they're selling, I don't know
    123:21
    With Attack from Mars I have to hit 150 Martians stacking with total annihilation. That was fun. That would be a blast.
    123:30
    No, no, no, Pinsomniac. We're not going to see a Batman home pin for the win. What we're going to see for the next pin,
    123:37
    say together Jurassic Park. That's what you're going to see. I don't know. Pinsomniac, did you get to play the Star Wars pin? I'm too much of a pinball I play too much pinball to have that in a small collection but it's a good game it shoots really well I couldn't own it long term but for what it is you know what quarantine has increased the sales of Star Wars the pin I couldn't sell one of them throughout the year I've sold three in the last two months yeah I don't know if it'll port over well but they'll have all new rules and layout and everything that's what they did on Star Wars Mole Mole says other than Metallica what other games do you think they're going to vault all of them they're going to vault all of them anything that's sold well that's a Sam system. I just don't know if they'll do White Star again. Lord of the Rings. I have no clue if they'll do White Star. But I think we'll see a Tron at some point. I really do. I think the odds of Tron probably better because it's a system that they have remade and vaulted already.
    125:08
    Alright. Furry Dice. I'm just calling you Furry Dice. Furry Dice says don't sleep on the home pin. I'm buying one in two weeks. I'll call you then, Zach. If you do, you'll make me very, very happy. Thank you.
    125:24
    Yeah, I don't know. Do we know that Tron's the easier license to obtain than Lord of the Rings? Oh, I don't know. It's a Disney license.
    125:37
    It's a Disney license. I don't know. Did you work live yet? How the hell do I rate again? Oh, cheaper. Gotcha.
    125:51
    Disney shit ain't cheap, though. I don't know. I wish I was a... I'll end you guys with this. Tell me how to raid first. Then I'll end you all with a little bombshell.
