    Hey everybody, welcome! Episode 89, I have been looking forward to this for about a month now. Too long! Welcome to the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast, episode 89. Notice something guys? The sloppiest show on the internet. I am upright, I'm not in my bed. drew had covid for those of you who don't know we were wondering where'd the guys go well one of the guys was almost dead and the other guy you know just upgrading all of our shit and sorry about last week we tried but everything broke my wife was so disappointed about last week she wanted me to let everyone know first of all she wanted to say ian you're a dickhead yeah thank you but secondarily she wanted to say you know she's like i put on makeup i put on a bra i was ready to go and she looked hot as hell and Ian just screwed the pooch.
    5:49
    But it's okay. I screwed the pooch? We're just giving you shit. I didn't screw shit. I just want to let everyone know that the laptop, we retired it. We're giving it to Drew so he can fuck with it. But Drew's already opening it up and he's like, why is nothing working? That's what I've been dealing with for the last year. I logged into Twitch on this piece of shit computer in front of me, and it froze. I was like, what the hell? We were streaming through that fucking thing, which is amazing. So upgraded everything. Oh, man. It's already 1,000 times better. The picture looks great. We're going to take some pictures of Ian's new setup here. I'm calling it Ian's setup. He put a lot of work into this. I love this man so much.
    6:32
    But we're going to put some pictures up of our new setup on our page because it's so beautiful. It looks great. We are professional. we are ready to go. I am pumped. You guys could probably hear my voice. So excited. It has been a long month, but real quick on a serious note, as I often do just once or twice during the show, when I did have COVID and I almost died, I want to give a special shout out to two people. One of those people being Tim Lee, my arch nemesis. That guy called or texted me literally every single day to make sure I was okay. And that means the world to me. Thank you so much, Tim Lee, from the bottom of my heart. No jokes about it. I appreciate it. And then secondarily, Mike Williams also checked in on me occasionally when I was dying in bed. So those two guys, I know some of the other guys sent me some well wishes and stuff, but I just really wanted to get it out for those two guys because they have become amazing friends of mine. Doc was worried about you too. Doc checked in on me. Brad Hopkins was worried about you. There were so many well-wishers, and I just wanted to say thank you, and I'm here, and I'm excited. They made me feel bad.
    7:44
    You know, they're like, how's Drew? How's Drew doing? What's going on with Drew? I was like, I texted him. I told him if he dies, I want his pinball machine. Yeah, no shit. And then me and your wife were fighting over your pinball machine because she wants to sell his pinball machines when he dies so she can go to Europe. And I just wanted his pinball machine. So we did this whole thing where we fought. Kathleen, what am I doing on my phone? I was looking up all the well wishes for Drew. But at the end of the day, that's what we were doing. We were kind of hoping that, not hoping, but we were planning for his demise so we can move on with our lives quickly. But I'm not quite done yet because. But everyone's like, how's Drew? I'm like, he's not dead yet. The best person throughout all this, on top of Tim Lee. We're going to Ireland, Kathleen. was my beautiful wife who is now in chat hi kathleen i love you so much this woman put up with so much of my shit and then she put up with me literally dying in a bed so i bet him shit yeah and then picking up my shit yes so kathleen there's there are not words that describe how well you can seriously take care of me when the chips are down and i love my wife so much and thank you for everything. The twist is Kathleen actually gave him COVID, so.
    9:03
    She's got a little bottle in the kitchen called COVID every time you piss her off. Jesse J., we love Kathleen. Yes, we loved Kathleen a lot. She has threatened to kill me after all this.
    9:16

Let's just go sober for the month of February. I said, yeah, that's cool. And then she lasted like a day because I'm a pill. So I get that. and she's been drinking, which is fine. My wife's awesome. But I'm still on sober February. Hey, congratulations. Yeah, the last drink I had was actually on this show, I believe. Oh, nice. What was that, three weeks ago or whatever? Good for you. The last part of January. So anyways, I'm drinking my La Croix. Nothing else, just La Croix. And, you know, I'm enjoying it.

But anyways, so yeah, that's what I'm drinking. The bar's open, and we're drinking LaCroix and Red Bull, but not together.
    12:43
    So. All right. So let's go. Moving on. Okay. So what else are we going to do today? Okay. All right. We're going to talk some news. I got so much. Personal news. Personal pinball news. And we're going to talk regular news. Regular news. Because actually, there's some cool stuff on Twip that was released today. Just wanted to kind of push that a little bit. Yeah. Walk me through that. I didn't read that one today. Oh, yeah. Dude, you're going to have to click on a tabby and go on Twip. Okay. And then we're going to go through, we have a genius segment brought to you by Tim Lee and Mr. Glenn. We have a new tribe member today. I'm excited about this tribe member. We had this tribe member three weeks ago. The poor guy. He's been waiting the entire time.
    13:23
    And everything happened, and we're like, sorry, dude. We will get to you. We promise. And we have some pinball porn. We have some good game room porn. Yeah, so you guys keep sending those in. Why don't you explain to them what game room porn is? So game room porn is basically we go over a bunch of your game rooms. You send us pics of your game room, and we just fucking just live there for you. We chat it up, and we talk about what games you have. It's basically just us loving on your game room. We got some good pictures. We got some good stuff. Well, because Drew and I have quite an extensive knowledge of arcade games, so a lot of these rooms have arcade games, and we have a lot of fun talking arcade too. So send in your game room picks over at poormanspinball.gmail.com. Guys, don't worry what your room looks like. We're more interested in what's in the room than the walls. We're not going to say, oh, your drywall mudding job sucks. Nope. Not going to do that because my mudding sucks balls.
    14:24
    But, yeah. No, I think we have three game rooms we're going to look at today. We're going to look at Tony Scoots. We're going to look at Billy Y.J.'s. and we're going to look at... I'll remember by the time we get there. Wait, we're going to have a threesome and game room porn? Yeah, we have a bunch of pictures. Oh, love it, love it. Okay, cool. So what else have we got? So we got that. We got the tribe member.
    14:45
    Yep, another Glenn and Tim Lee special genius segment. We got all kinds of stuff. Let's get going. All right, let's do it. Okay, so first thing I want to do, poor man's pinball news because... It's all these balls bouncing around. Sorry. I needed that. I haven't heard that in a month.
    15:04
    Franchise balls are always bouncing around. So, in the span of about three days now... Listen to this, guys. If you don't think he's a nutcase, you will now believe that he is fucking crazy. Okay. So, I had all my games up for rent, okay? And then I'm like, I want some new games. You know, no one really was biting on them. So what I did was I put Turtles up for sale. Got a couple nibbles. I said, okay, cool. I'm going to put Jurassic Park up for sale too. I'm going to see what's out there. I need some cash so I can get a new game. So within like a day, Jurassic Park, our good buddy, now a friend of the show, Neo Skywalker, for you guys who don't know. He's a friend of the show? Yep. Hi, Neo.
    15:56
    He does awesome clear coats. He's our upscale local pinball wizard. Yeah, he's about 30 minutes away, and all he does all day is he touches up play fields, does clear coat. He does amazing work. Look him up on Facebook, Neo Skywalker. Anyways, I got to meet him and his lovely wife. It's awesome. His wife goes with him to pick up all these games. How cool is that? So what did he do? He came to Ida and picked up Jurassic Park? Jurassic Park, yeah. Yeah, because he posted about it to us. That was yours, huh? Yeah. Nice. He contacted me right away. He says, I really want this thing. I said, cool. We made a deal. No worries. I knew of him. I hadn't met him in person. And he came over. Him and his wife were so awesome. And Jurassic Park's gone. Then the very next day, a guy contacted me. Shocker, though, right, guys? He loved Jurassic Park. The amount of shit he was talking about, how great it is.
    16:48
    It just feels like any one of us can be replaced by Drew at any moment. Kathleen, can you listen to this? We've got to go to Ireland now. How much will you give me for this guy right here?
    16:57
    I'm worth at least. We're starting at 10 bits. I was going to say Deadpool Pro, but you're being a dick. All right, that's fine. 25 bits. Okay.
    17:07
    So then. I'm a bitch. So then a guy contacts me from Rockford, Illinois about Turtles. And him and his retired father want to come up here. They route games. And he's like, yeah, I really want Turtles. same thing make a quick deal and so now now i have this issue where i have money in my pocket kathleen cover your ears um i have i have money in my pocket and i need a new game so what i'm trying to do i really want to get a star wars comic premium the one problem with that is they're not running them anymore they're scarce they're running some movie arts in next month or something and i was like i don't want that crap that thing just looks terrible so anyways i got a line on a couple of them i'm talking to a bunch of distributors now trying to find out who has one i'm gonna get a star wars premium put some money in the bank and then i'll relax for a little bit probably a month then i'll get something else so yeah it has just been a wild couple of days games coming and going the snow is flying it's five degrees outside people still want these games it is crazy how fast these games went yeah yeah and uh jeremy tribe member jeremy says open space is the worst yes you are right my room looks bare now i still have four games in there but i just yeah i need i need something else and kathleen says boring as always thanks kathleen i still love you baby anyway all right so so that's my personal news you have anything that's gone on You made a purchase?
    18:51
    Jack Rabbit, should we be wearing clothes in our game room? You know, in the pictures for game rooms? No, no. Clothes are optional. We'll put the picture up either way.
    19:03
    Makes no difference to me. Yeah, we like some Zachariah pins, so make sure you share with that. Ireland for Ian's 40th. Thank you, Kathleen Mankey. Speaking of which, Neo has a – it was one of the Zachariah soccer games. I played one at Dave's house. It might even be the same game. I think Neil might have bought it. It's really cool, and it's less than two grand. I actually considered it because it's a soccer pin, which I'm not a huge soccer fan, but it's got the upper play field with the goal. It's kind of neat. Cool. Yeah, I did purchase. I have to actually pay them, but I am on the running for Deadpool Pro when they redo those in March. They're rerunning Deadpool Pro in March. So contact Flippin' Up Pinball. and they will get you a good deal on those dead pools. That was on my short list, and then when I found out Ian was getting it, I was like, I'll take it off my short list because Ian's bringing it home. Yeah, we're bringing it home. Octoprofess is still staying, so this will be the first time I have two pretty much modern pins in my collection. Yeah, and we're going to have to do something with Laser War. Yeah, Laser War needs a little bit more tender love and care.
    20:09
    GI on the right side of the play field went out still. I just have not had time. And then a post got ripped out of the wood from fucking Glenn Wechter just with his power strokes. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Gorilla slaps. Gorilla slapped the shit out of my laser war, pulled the post, and it's still sitting there just mocking me on the table. Well, I'll tell you what. I will leave a space open for you if you want to bring it over, and I'll tinker with it. All right. That's fine. All right. I bought the tool set, too, that the Facebook marketplace was selling. They're little.
    20:47
    I'm going to go get it. Okay. Wait. I almost fell. You almost fell. Yeah, so maybe I'm getting a laser war. Who knows? We'll see how it goes. What's going on in chat?
    21:01
    We got, wow, you guys are active today. I love this. I almost would say let's not do a show every week because this chat is so freaking active. I know, I have no idea. Hey, cheers! Thanks for the bits. Thank you so much. Yeah, we're going to see his game room.
    21:20
    So it's either Steve Fabry's game room. Oh, you bought that? Yes! I almost bought those. It's hard to show this to you guys. Yeah, they were advertising these on Facebook.
    21:31
    And it's very cool. It's a set of pin pullers. so you have your different molex connectors and different things and because sometimes those things are really a bitch to get in and out so for my molex um yeah that's super cool man i'm excited because i'm gonna have to steal some of these from you yeah because uh yeah all these things there's not a molex i can't what what was it was like 20 bucks too right yeah it was less than that yeah it was like like ten dollars shipping yeah ten bucks yeah no i uh shipping Anyone who ever rustled with a pin It shipped relatively quick Anyone who ever wrestled with a pin on a pin Nice earrings You can do all kinds You can put those underneath your kilt.

    Ball rings. What happened? These guys aren't even drinking. All right. So anyway. So that was my other purchase. Super cool, man. And ball, baby. Nope. That's... Those things have probably worked really well. because sometimes those pins are ridiculous. Yes, they're a pain in the ass. So we got that going for us. So that was personal news. That's quite a bit, though. We did good the last few weeks. Yeah, you buying games, selling games. You met Neo. Yeah. Is he about as cool as it seems, or is he a weirdo?

    26:47
    Come on, that's an easy shot. Where's the balls one? It's all these balls bouncing around. All these interviews bouncing around.
    26:58
    I'm an asshole. Everyone knows that. Lucky Creature says, there's way too much alcohol behind you not to be drinking. I agree, Lucky Creature, but I'm... Oh, Kathleen's still here. I love you. She's here. Hands are still visible. Yeah, she thought we were going to have a real circle jerk tonight. Yeah, yeah. I haven't seen each other. It's early. It's very early. We just started.

    You got another cheer? It's been a month. I've missed this man. I've missed him so much. You look great. COVID's done you wonders. It has. I quit drinking. I quit eating sugar. I lost 20 pounds. Seriously, like, it's been awesome. uh oh and now she's having fun at our expense that's why i love that's fine okay moving on so if you guys haven't seen it on this week in pinball and on facebook this is what i really want to talk to you about is alien pinball the pinball brothers on facebook they have some actual gameplay on oh so i want to just get some it's a short one but yeah it's pretty cool because you get a little bit of glimpse of the animations and you get some frantic, terrible camera work. Yeah, that's definitely not professional. That is definitely a full fucking featured game and I think it looks fantastic. What did you guys think out there in chat? Have you guys seen the Alien gameplay on Facebook or on This Week in Pinball? It looks good enough to me. One of those things. I'm not really into the theme but you're right. Just watching that looks a lot better than a lot of games that are out right now fuck i thought it looked really good yeah no for what it is yeah canada was on there already going oh you that's the worst video you can't see shit i'm sitting here i'm like you can see plenty of stuff it's not great but it is better right um no but just just that short little video yeah that that says a lot but are they going to be able to produce these things in mass lots of people want them they're you know Are they going to wait all day, all year for them? Well, they have one job and one game. So get it done.
    29:11
    CGC. So easy for me to say. Yeah, exactly. We're two assholes in a basement. How the fuck do we know? Deep Root. CGC. I mean, CGC. It's fucking easy. Just so disappointing. Screw a post in. Throw a couple balls in there. So disappointing. Why is CGC not more active on social media? Why don't they tease anything? That's what I don't get. That's all you do is go on the internet to get teased, don't you? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know. Every day. Every day, and I love every minute of it. Jesse J., nips for Kathleen.
    29:46
    CP Daddy, took you guys a month to get out this podcast. Yeah, but no one gave us money. No one gave us deposits. That's the difference. Hey, CP Daddy, if you give us a $100 deposit. First off, fuck you, CP Daddy. Number one. Number two, he almost died, asshole. Here's a dollar. Number three, we had a computer that can barely open Twitch.
    30:10
    Yeah, this isn't even like Chromebook surfing a web computer. This is like, I don't know, this is like my kid's piece of shit computer. I don't know. CP Daddy, I'm just fucking with you. You're good shit. But, yeah.
    30:24
    Rachel, really want a Monster Badge. Rachel, you're going to get sick of it. I'm sorry. It's not good. It's a fun game, but it's just, I don't know. You'll get tired of it quick. Yeah, it looks great. It shoots. It's good in a big lineup. We agreed. Yeah. Four-pin lineup, it's perfect. Yeah, yeah. Because you can always go back to it, play it for a few times, love it, and then you can go on to something with a little bit deeper ruleset. And everyone likes what they like. I'm not going to be a grudget. I get it. It shoots perfect. It's a perfect shooter. I'm just saying. And the theme is amazing. But it's chopping wood, man. She says move on. All right. Now you know what I got to put up with, Ray. CP Daddy. Oh, thanks. You can't buy our love, CP Daddy. You can buy my love. He bought it. I love you, CP Daddy. I love you, too, man. So what else we got? You might even get a nip slip for that.
    31:21
    What is that, a Wisconsin shirt? Yeah, I'm Wisconsin, buddy. Eric Menier, come here and give you a touch or two.
    31:29
    Should we tell that story? Yeah, let's tell that story. That's a good one. Let's tell this story. All right, so you guys know. So we got a message from Eric Minier. Now, we messaged him. Thanks for not dying, dream, magnificent butthole.
    31:42
    We messaged Eric Minier back in July to get him on the show because we knew he was working on Guns N' Roses. And we said, when you're done, come on the show. We'd love to talk Guns N' Roses with you, right? We have cricket sounds. Crickets. crickets crickets yeah this went on for months just crickets crickets and nothing and then we got a message he must have been drinking because he was like yeah he messaged us he's like hey how come the wisconsin-based podcast didn't ask the wisconsin guy on their show and we said eric we did back in july and i sent him the message he goes oh damn well what about that i was like but we'd love to have you on the show he says i'll have to check with my superiors first right yeah and he's like i hate to be that guy i don't want to big league you but i have to get the approval and i said okay yeah that's no problem what'd we hear back crickets nothing crickets i think we got denied guys not only that eric are you listening not only that that motherfucker was on loser kid the next week yeah he really was and we're just like oh so the kid scooped Wait, wait. He asked us. Do you think JJP said, yes, Saps, yes, Loser Kid, yes, Kaneda? No. He didn't say no. They didn't say yes to Kaneda. Yes, Loser Kid. Poor Man's Podcast. Poor Man's Podcast? Absolutely not. Crossed them off. They made fun of Toy Story 1.
    33:16
    Yeah, they gave a ton of shit. Oh, man, that's awesome. So there you go. We don't know what happened. Don't no one go run and spread these rumors. You should spread all the rumors. Eric Minier, we want you on the show. We'd love to have you on the show. I don't take sloppy seconds from those loser kids. I will.
    33:36
    You can buy my love with bits. Thank you, CP Daddy, again. If he's coming on the show, I'm not even talking. I will follow Loser Kid around and pick up their shit. This is happening. It's all happening.
    33:50
    I don't know what's happening. but that's playing second fiddle all right that's fine if i can lose the kids are cool i like those guys all right american pinball new hire jack hager hager uh sure new art director boy if there's a company that needed an art director oh yeah i like how they say their new art director like they had an old art director they did it was called photoshop It was like, just draw a bunch of guys in a field and call it Oktoberfest. Man, I feel bad saying that, but yeah, I mean, they, you know, like Houdini was okay. Yeah, I like the look of Houdini. You know, Oktoberfest left something to be desired. Hot Wheels is okay.
    34:35
    But just having, you know, people have to step up their game because of what's out there, really. So that's all. I mean, I'm not going to. Well, all in all, it's a great hire, right? They needed that art direction, which is fucking fantastic. Oh, and they show he's got to go back up there. He's got, yeah, he started at Williams. Cool. Another Williams guy. He helped design Sinistar. That's a good one. That's a pretty one, too. Yeah, so, yeah, he's got some good stuff under his belt. So that's awesome. I'm excited to see what happens with that. Dave Brennan probably already knows what's happening. Sorry, Dave. Dave, we're not trying to shit on American Pinball. Just jokes. Oh, come on. Everyone knows what we do. That's why no one can go on our show anymore.
    35:16
    Let's see. And that's about it, right? Oh, no, no. Joe Pesci's house. Oh, yeah. So Joe Pesci. This is perfect. Joe Pesci is selling his $6.5 million mansion in New Jersey. So there are all these pictures. And the focal point was this living area, family room, living room, whatever. It was very basic for a $6.5 million house. Yeah, exactly. The rest of the house was amazing. And then they show his living room. and yeah exactly what i pictured joe pesci's living just imagine like regular old furniture nothing special couple couches and then there's lethal weapon three the pinball which was cool very and then on the wall i saw the gone fishing poster yep him and uh danny glover yep and then a couple other movie posters of his and i was just like but yeah it was just it was just kind of funny go check it out that's very cool it was very cool i was like oh that's like a normal ass like room that could have been in anyone's house exactly which is so funny exactly you saw the outside picture of this fucking man if you were a joe pesci fan that would be your room right yeah you'd have the lethal weapon pin you have a couple movie posters yeah um that means like if joe pesci went into that room in somebody else's house you'd be like ah fucking cool room yeah but but the thing that weirded me out the most was i started looking him up on Wikipedia. He's almost 80 years old. He's 78.
    36:39
    It was just one of those mind-breaking moments. Yeah, there's a few of those. I was like, holy crap. Him and De Niro, they're the same age. I was like, wow, these two guys are older than my parents. It's just wild. I agree, man. Kind of crazy.
    36:57
    Sorry, it was under your chin. I was feeling like Petty. Getting all crazy. just like pesci joe pesci all right so there we go i think that's the news man we did good one more quick one that that one's got to tell about marco celebrating 36 years that's kind of cool marco uh marco pinball 36 years marco marco has at least ten thousand dollars of my money my money as well easy yeah easy yeah marco's uh uh you know pinball life and marco's they're they're neck and neck they both have great customer service i've never had issues with either one and yeah cheers to you guys 36 years very cool very cool so all right cool man so what should we do next what do you want to do uh i want to induct our tribe member let's do it he has waited long enough we can't we can't drag this on any longer all right so we have a new tribe member today you guys ready for this shit it's super exciting for us drew and i love this man to death So here we go.

Yes, 1947. Where the fuck do you find parts for that? I guess other Humpty Dumpty's. Flip-flop rethemes of play ball and kickoff, and he's going to retheme them to Atlanta Braves and Atlanta United FC, which is a football club. Football. So he's clearly an Atlanta fan. Started pinballprices.com because there was no real good sites that kept up with prices on pinball sales. And Doc has a Ph.D. in psychology. He is a legit doc. Oh, and so he's scanning us. Oh, he has so many notes on us.
    39:31

I can't see from that. So Dave Brennan says, I think I'm tribe member nine. I think I got in by lugging a laser war in Ian's basement and helping with tech questions. Yes. That didn't hurt, Dave. It didn't hurt. That was definitely a part of it.
    42:00
    Number five, you, that's secret. Can't tell you. I almost told you, but you can't tell me. Number four, you can't be a media member, but that's kind of, it depends. It depends. Franchise Balls, they're in. Ryan Keitler, he's in. He's in. Dave Brennan, he's in. He's in. All you media types, Kaz. Kaz is the correspondent. Kaz is in every podcast. I didn't mean to talk to you about that. We're just going to – you should quit there and be our correspondent. Oh, my God. Just for fun. How great would that be? Be like, I'm no longer part of the pinball show. I've decided to go where my talents are most appreciated. Taking my talents to South Beach. What was that? The LeBron? Yeah. So, pillar number two. Pillar number five is to pay Ian or Drew $100 each. Kaz, you are 100% right. That'd help, but you're wrong. Doc, we accept Venmo. Go ahead. Pillar number three is help us grow our brand. Is that what the others paid, $100 each? Yep.
    43:03
    Risky pictures. What is going on, Tim? So pillar number two is like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitch. If you follow us on Twitch, that's good, too. Like all of our pages. Like our shit. And I don't know what pillar number one is. I already lost track of too many Tim things. So there you go. Those are our pillars of excellence to join our tribe. My wife, sorry. She's still listening. I love you. Oh, my God. You morons have pillars. You mean dry rot two by fours nailed together with rusty nails? Kathleen, Kathleen, it's the five pillars of excellence. I feel like you don't understand. Five pillars of excellence. Yeah. Of course we have pillars. She's making fun of our construction. Yeah. A bunch of rusty nails. This is how we keep the tribe together.
    43:54
    Rusty nails and glue. I'm not going to say she's wrong, but we have five pillars. She's not wrong. All right. Speaking of tribe members we have a new genius segment This is from our good friends Glenn Wechter number seven and Tim Tim Lee number something else We don care about Tim as much Just kidding, Tim.

Taxi is simple but challenging. Yeah, it's one of those easy-to-learn, hard-to-master games. Yes. You know, a couple of shots, but you've got to get them in there, and it's very cool. One of the best System 11s. You need a Gilligan's Island.

    You prick. Alright, now I'll go. I'll give you 10 bits. Oh, everything's forgiven. All right. Let's see. Wizard of Oz, of course, is a classic. And Roller Coaster Tycoon. Pat Lawler is one of his favorite games. Wait, wait, wait. 24 and Elvis are Steve Ritchie's best games. Kaz, what are you smoking? I'm not going to disagree.
    57:04
    I'm not going to say it's right either. I guess I need to play Elvis. Oh, okay. What do we got here? It's hard to see from my angle. We got Attack from Mars. Yeah. What is that? Living Edition. Medieval Madness. Monster Bash. So he's got the CGC lineup. Yep. Star Trek and Metallica. Woo-hoo! That. And some Daytona USA in the corner. That lineup is making me pitch wood. Because, ooh, that's where Monster Bash belongs. Yes. That lineup.
    57:36
    Oh, my God. Whose is this? Whose game is this? Is this Jack Rabbit again? Is it? uh let me know jack rabbit is this you fucking a that lineup oh no i don't know who's this is i did three weeks ago so sorry it's been a while it has been yeah that that's the kind of lineup that you have a five pin lineup that's a great one glad oh my pants are getting smaller i know So just between Attack from Mars, Metallica, and Star Trek, you have Shots for Days. Then you have Medieval Madness, which is just like one of the coolest toys ever. And then Monster Bash is always fun for a romp. Cool toys. Yeah, just toy central. You got the toys in the middle. You got the shots on the end, baby. Yeah, look at this. Think about the best toys in pinball, right? Get your shit together, guys. Who's this? I'm sorry, CP Daddy. All right, hold on. I can find out. it's always, uh, attack from Mars with the saucer, medieval madness with the castle sparky. And then you add the monster bash toys and you got it. Star Trek. Yeah. Star Trek doesn't have obviously the best toys, but, but one of the best shooters. So man, just super cool. That that's a lineup that you could be proud of. And yeah, attack from Mars is really on my short list now. Cause I, that's just a game I want to spend some time with as well. Um, this is a kinky player. are lots of toys says glenn yeah you're absolutely right lots and lots of toys oh jack rabbit maybe i'll put elvis up on pin swap you know what that would be a good one because um there's not a lot out there there's almost none in the wild and there's definitely some elvis fans that would probably jump on that so yeah yeah try that out um the vengeance shot is pretty much the same as Attack from Mars, Billy Y.J. Yeah, I agree with that.
    59:33
    It's right up the middle, and it's a freaking spaceship. What do you want? Okay, well, how about this, guys? As long as we're talking about it, then what would you rather have, Attack from Mars or Star Trek?
    59:47
    So Star Trek LE versus Attack from Mars LE. That's a head-scratcher. uh cp daddy says star trek glenn says star trek rachel star trek mike williams star trek and billy afm with topper yeah oh that'd be tough i a year ago i probably would have said star trek but attack from mars is just a better theme right all things being equal so star trek is a much better game yeah i don't know i take uh medieval madness over both though says billy yj yeah i could see that not not for me but i could see that star trek oh looks like star trek's running away with this good thing we're not really voting oh my god just look at some of these other gamer picks we got coming up all right hold on um star trek le yeah there it is this is kevin mckenley kenny mckenny kevin mckenny's game room kevin mckenny all right kevin fantastic sorry about that guys super good uh jeremy schmidt So Star Trek LE, yes. Ryan Kuiper bought a Star Trek LE last year, and, whew, that thing is so pretty. Have you ever seen an LE? Yeah. That was the last Stern game that they really made an LE that was like an LE. Yeah. You know, they did it upright. So this is Steve Fabry's house.
    61:31
    Let's see. What do we got here? Attack from Mars. Is that medieval? Oh, my eyes are getting old. Looks like he's got every Jersey Jack. You can tell by the big screens there where we got Wizard of Oz dialed in.

Depending on what games you have in your collection, if you have that one game that's like the one-trick pony, that's fine. Yeah. Like Dracula. You know, Dracula, you're just trying to get the multi-balls, but it's so much fun and it's just a cool game.
    68:45
    Yeah, and I also say Monster Bash is like a $6,000, $7,000 game versus some of those ones we were just talking about are closer to two and three. You could have bought two of those games in that three rows I was talking about for the price. That's why we like those System 11s, because they're simple like that and they're not expensive. So we're poor men and remember that. All right. So what else we got, Drew? What do you want to do? I don't know. That was basically the show, guys. Let's go into, let's just open it up to chat. Let's talk. Happy hour. Hey, cheers, everybody. Happy hour. What do you guys want to talk about? It's been a month, guys. There's a website about that. I don't even want to know what you guys are talking about.
    69:25
    Rachel, so here, Monster Bash is okay. Fuck you, dudes. Oh, Rachel, we love you. And we love Monster Bash. It's just it wasn't a keeper. Right. I mean, you're talking to the guy who, you know, I play a game literally a thousand times and I get rid of it. Yeah, pinball porn does not work well when it comes to the podcast. You guys are 100% right. But that's okay. You know, we're going to describe the games and enjoy it. And maybe people will want to join in on the Twitch stuff. We got to take advantage of this video stuff. So if you guys aren't listening. Oh, now TurboGrafx-7 is here. Hey, Ryan. Don't worry. We'll post it on our website.
