TL;DR

Dead Flip tutorial on Williams Taxi (1988) covering skill shots, passengers, multiball, and advanced techniques.

Summary

Dead Flip hosts an informal tutorial and casual gameplay session for Williams' 1988 Taxi pinball machine at Logan Arcade in Chicago. Hosts Jack Danger and Crystal explain key mechanics including skill shot multipliers, passenger collection, two-ball multiball, express lanes, and special shots like the million-point Joyride, while demonstrating play techniques and discussing game strategy. The session is pre-recorded due to Twitch outages and includes extensive banter and tangential commentary alongside genuine rules instruction.

Key Claims

  • Blackwater 100,000 point shot multiplies by ball number: 1x on ball 1, 2x on ball 2, 3x on ball 3

    high confidence · Crystal explains skill shot mechanics: 'If you get that on ball two, it's times two. And if you get it on ball three, it's times three.'

  • Taxi is a two-ball multiball accessed by shooting the right saucer to lock a ball, then plunging again

    high confidence · Jack explains: 'To release your lock, Taxi is a two-ball multiball? And it's real simple. You just lock one ball, release it on the left ramp.'

  • The left ramp shot is extremely difficult and requires good flipper control to reach

    high confidence · Jack states: 'Ramps are super hard because they're really deep. If you don't have a good, great flipper on this game, you almost can't play it. It's almost impossible.'

  • Carry Passenger is a lit target that preserves collected passengers if you drain, preventing loss of progress

    high confidence · Jack explains: 'When you start collecting these passengers, let's say you get all of them except for Santa, okay? If you drain, you lose all that progress, unless you nail that carry passenger target, which carries them over to your next ball.'

  • Spelling C-A-B in the top lanes advances bonus multiplier and adds to a communal jackpot that carries over between games

    high confidence · Jack explains: 'Collecting the top lanes advances your bonus multiplier... It also adds to the communal jackpot... your extra balls... it will increase that jackpot value, and that carries over from game to game.'

  • The million-point Joyride shot is lit after shooting the ramps six times

    medium confidence · Jack states: 'There is a million shot indicated on the play field here to light that you need to shoot the ramps six times.' Crystal questions the exact number earlier: 'If you spell tap, I think it's four times? Four times.' Later Jack clarifies: 'I think you have to shoot the ramp five or six times.'

  • Shooting for Marilyn (the center drop targets) is extremely difficult and described as a dangerous shot

    high confidence · Jack says: 'Shooting Marilyn on purpose is a death sentence.' Crystal later adds: 'That is a dangerous target to go for.'

I have my life... Turn upside down and I'd like to take a minute to sit right there and tell you how I became a prince of the town called Bella. I was sitting on a porch late one day and then my mama said, hey, you gotta go to California now. Wow, those lyrics though.
0:22
Let me tell you about how I became a prince of the town called Bella. That's okay, I got an ED, baby. This is the thing, I did get all the stuff and it's fun to do stuff when you sit right down.
0:35
Internet, we're recording this local, not live, because Twitch is currently down. Now, if Twitch comes up, we'll switch over.
0:47
Oh, no, it keeps debating me. Oh wait, did I get Terry from here? What is this nonsense? Did you just burp? Yeah, excuse me. Santa! God damn it. I feel like Santa sounds less like Santa and more like some kind of weird barney. Because your lips, your lips, are on my face. Remember, dude, a lot of their songs are like ruined for me now. Yeah, yeah, makes sense. Nope! Anyway, so, okay. We'll edit this part out. Good evening pinheads, welcome back to Death with Pinball. This is not live, coming to you live, not live, from Logan Arcade. We're gonna be playing taxi. It's gonna be fun. Crystal chose this game, so we'll see if she can beat us. Uh, there's no chat, so I'm just gonna start rambling. Yeah, me too. right? And if the browser kicks in and Twitch kicks on, we'll go live. Okay? Okay. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Alright, throw in two players. Oh, rude. Ooh, Desi. So, the key to blowing up Taxi is Dynamite. It's getting all the characters.

  • The machine version differs between early and later releases, with some having Lola instead of Marilyn as a passenger character

    high confidence · Jack explains: 'Something that's really cool about this game is it has the Marilyn instead of Lola, which was, I think, like an edit or some kind of a... A legal decision, maybe? Yeah. I'm not sure what the... So, people are always like, oh, do you have the Marilyn one? Do you have the Marilyn? Here's the thing. I think there are far fewer Lolas out there, making that game a little more rare.'

  • “So a backhand is just dropping the flipper and then flipping early to shoot the ball to a shot that's kind of close. A backflip is where you creep the ball into the lane a little bit, and as it rolls back out, you flip, and you can flip it almost backwards.”

    Jack Danger@ 9:36 — Explains advanced flipper control techniques that are applicable across multiple pinball games

  • “This game's on free play right now... but that's a good note for people.”

    Jack Danger@ 33:15 — Provides practical information about machine status and availability at the arcade venue

    2:14
    Wait, do you want to know how to play Texas? Do you want to learn? Why don't you teach me, Crystal? Okay, we got a skill set. We got a spin-off. You got to do a soft one, and you can collect either the 25,000, and you get a passenger, or you can go for the 100,000, which is usually better as ball three, because it's worth three times that. Why is it worth three times that? Well, ball three it is. Yeah, why? Because it builds up, right? It revolves.
    2:40
    What do you mean? It's 100,000 points right now if you get it because it's only ball one. Right. If you get that on ball two, it's times two. And if you get it on ball three, it's times three. I think so, yes. And every time you lock up a ball, you get a chance to plunge that again as well. Yes, exactly. Heck, yes. But you don't, if you get the collect passenger, which is what tips people typically shoot for, you don't get a 3X passenger collect, but you do get 3X for the 25,000, I believe. Oh really? Yeah. I didn't know that. You learn something new every day. Okay, I was going for the spa passenger in a mess. It's tough. But that's okay. It's still money. It's alright. It's still moony. So now what I'm gonna try and do is lock up a ball. I'm gonna get control. Or I'm gonna drain on the airplane. So what are you shooting for right out of the gate? Lock. Rock and roll. Now you get to plunge again. So you can still go for your passenger. Nailed it. So, That should give you Pinbot. Gorby. I like it. Also, my Joyride is Buzzlet. So you'll see Gorby is the inner right loop there, the inner right orbit. Yep. Pinbot has the far right three targets. Marilyn is the middle three drops. Then you've got Drac on the left. There's that little scoopity-doo. And Santa is this really tight shot on the left that is also your Joyride shot and million-point shot if you can combo those ranks. To release your lock, Taxi is a two-ball, multi-ball? And it's real simple. You just lock one ball, release it on the left ramp. Ramps are super hard because they're really deep.
    4:16
    If you don't have a good, great flipper on this game, you almost can't play it. It's almost impossible. I hear that. There we go. I got it. And I got a little fanfare. Bravo. So now what I need to do is go for the express lane number one. So we have a number one lit right here. When she nails that, it's going to light express lane number two. It's timed, so she has to get it in here. And then you have to get up one of the ramps. I think it's the right, the left ramp? Either ramp is a lot of money. So you can do that. You can also keep collecting your passengers in this mode if you find it easier to, like, hit your drop targets. So I missed. So that's okay. A little cradle step away.
    4:54
    That's all right. It happens. It's tough. It's a really tough shot. It doesn't count because there was no break period or anything like that. And now to relight my lock light, I have to collect another passenger. There you go. So Drac and Pinbot are both late. So she can shoot that. As you can see there, you've got to have something neat behind the shot going up that left ramp or it is not going to make it. Now my lock is lit again.
    5:21
    Oh, creepy. Didn't make it. Oh, it's gifted. So now that she collected that passenger, it lights another passenger. She now has Maryland, which is the three drop targets up the middle, and it is a massive, like, FU right here. Massive FU. Yeah. So it's good to go for... Pinbot's kind of tough too. Yeah. That's why I would rather have pinbot be spotted or... Oh, also another really great trick, if you want to transfer to the left flipper and you don't feel like screwing around with a... Just like a postbag? With a postbag. You can do shot to drag and it'll just... Oh, it'll feed it via the ramp. Yeah. Or you can drain. There's also... Let's see, what else was I going to say? Um, comboing out the ranch will eventually like the million shot, but there is one other thing. What the hell was it? Oh, carry passenger. How do you light carry passenger? Pick up Lola or Pinbot. Okay, so here's what happens. When you start collecting these passengers, let's say you get all of them except for Santa, okay? If you drain, you lose all that progress, unless you nail that carry passenger target, which carries them over to your next ball. And that's fine. and it's huge, huge, huge time saving.
    6:33
    Let's see what we can get here. My thumb's broken. You're being a little melodramatic. My thumb is not even on my hand anymore. Maybe you need to stop sticking it in your butt. So the, yes, I do. There's Gordy. Collecting the top lanes advances your bonus multiplier, but it also adds to the communal jackpot. It also, like, your extra balls. There you go. If you spell tap, I think it's four times? Four times. There is another display on the back glass that you can't see right now that is constantly a meter running like a taxi. And after, I think it starts at a million, or does it start at like 500,000? I can't remember. But as we hit these, it will increase that jackpot value, and that carries over from game to game. So if this game sits here all day, people blowing it up, but they can't collect that jackpot, you now have a giant freaking jackpot sitting there that you can take later. Yeah, which I just did earlier. Yeah, I was building up an effing jackpot, and Crystal stole it like a turd.
    7:40
    What's going on, brother? All right, Maryland, we got you. All right. So what's your strategy, Jack? Do you prefer to collect passengers and then go for a multiball? I prefer to throw this game in the trash. No, no, no, no, no, no. Something that's really cool about this... I do not like to go for multi-ball first. I like to get my passengers pretty close.
    8:04
    Typically, I like to collect everyone except for the people that are target-related, because I will accidentally hit that stuff during multi-ball. Yeah.
    8:14
    Shooting Marilyn on purpose is a death sentence. Right. Something else that's really cool about this game is it has the Marilyn instead of Lola, which was, I think, like an edit or some kind of a... A legal decision, maybe? Yeah. I'm not sure what the... So, people are always like, oh, do you have the Marilyn one? Do you have the Marilyn? Here's the thing. I think there are far fewer Lolas out there, making that game a little more rare.
    8:41
    This is also a clear-coated taxi, which I love. I think it's beautiful. It's like butter. So what are you shooting for here, Beau? I'm gonna go for Dracula. So yeah, because you didn't have Carry Passenger, you have to collect all your passengers again. You do have Pinbot though, which is good because that is a hard shot. Now you have Drac and Lola. And then once you get down to two passengers, it always lights Santa as one of the passengers. So Lola's only one target away. That is a pretty dangerous target to go for. Now here's what's cool about drag. You can forehand it, but you can also backflip it. Really? Not backhand it. Right. Oh, backflip. Oh, I can't watch. Backflip. So a backflip is not... So a backhand is just dropping the flipper and then flipping early to shoot the ball to a shot that's kind of close. A backflip is where you creep the ball into the in lane a little bit, and as it rolls back out, you flip, and you can flip it almost backwards. I don't want to try. I'm not feeling it.
    9:57
    We'll try to do a backflip here on draft. All right. We're going for the hundo. There it is. 100 times 2 because we're on ball 2. There it is. Raise jackpot. Raise jackpot again. All right. She locked up a ball, and there is ball stealing in this, apparently. So we're going to probably either shoot Gorby or the right ramp to get the ball over here. Because I don't know if I trust post-passing on this. Let's try post-passing real quick.
    10:32
    Yeah. The slings are too sensitive for me to be into that. We'll go Gorby. Just to get him out of the way.
    10:45
    There's Moby-Bob. Now I use... Oh, baby. Oh, wait, I said I was going to backflip, so let's give that a shot here.
    11:05
    All right, so what you want to do, it's like, it's even more shallow of a little flip. It's like this. You're barely flipping. It's going to creep it backwards. I think because there's a flipper hop here, it might not work that well. Flipper hop is just like a slightly misaligned flipper here. So we're going to try to poop it into the in lane, it's going to come out, and we're going to flip backwards. Let's see what we can do. Yep. That was pretty
    11:34
    close. So this move works on a lot of different games. These are some pretty good ones. I Pretty steep in lanes though.
    11:50
    Oh, come on. Don't go in there. Nice. Taxi was the... I think it was Papa... 15? Final quarter? Is he going? Oh, nice. I think it's 15. I might be wrong. Do not hold me to that. being recorded so your help do it. People, if you're watching this on YouTube, type your favorite color in chat please. People from the past, I mean the future, let me know how you're feeling. Why is Twitch kind of suffering here? Yeah, Twitch is kind of, I think some people are hack-stirring Twitch at the moment. Why would they do it? Because they hate fun, oh my god, they hate fun. Why can't people just be nice to each other and play taxi and smile and drink tequila? I mean, I'm drinking gin. I think I'll have a tequila. One liquor.
    12:59
    Booyah! Who you gonna give me? Marilyn. So now Santa and Pinbot are all we need. But because we didn't collect Marilyn like the OG way, we don't get the Carrie Passenger light by actually hitting her targets down. Oh, because you've got to clap. Kind of a turd hole. Thank you, Santa. So now we just need Pinbot here, which is not a fun shot to make, let me tell you. No, it's pretty mean. Oh, wow. Alright.
    13:42
    Alright. So, if you're wondering why I'm playing, like, erratically by shooting the ball into the slingshot, I'm actually doing it on purpose. Because the side-to-side motion of the... Wow, that ball is not going up there anymore, huh? Side-to-side motion is, like, one of your best bets to getting those pinball drops.
    14:04
    Alright, the jackpot's lit, and there's a gem. So that value we collected right there is what the cumulative score was over all the games that were played. Listen, Crystal collected it earlier. It's not a lot of money. It was at almost two million points, but yeah, Crystal sort of screwed us there a little bit. That's okay. You're welcome. You're doing great, bud. Ah, you got four X-Flight?
    14:27
    Hoo-hoo-hoo! You slammin' them, slammin' them, slammin' them. The Yammer of the Yammer. Because we spilled cab enough times up there in the top lanes our extra balls lit. Um, we got a replay. The extra balls? We'll find out.
    14:46
    Man, it's, you know, it's really weird doing pre-recorded content like this, because I'm used to just like screaming at people and talking about like, like sandwiches and sex toys. Well now we're doing like a real grown up tutorial and I'm not hitting anything I need to hit. Real grown up still.
    15:08
    Joyride is your mystery award. Extra ball. It gives you random things and it screwed her royally. I thought that I could predict everything that Joyride... It looks like Cook's coin. It does, it's really weird. Folks, if you want to know where we're at, we're at Logan Arcade in Chicago, Illinois, at the corner of Western and Fullerton. Come here, tell them Jack Danger sent you, and they'll charge you an extra dollar for every drink you drink. Yes, they think you suck. I'm just kidding. We love you. Wow. We love you, Jack. Give it up. Wow. Wow, I need another drink. Wow. I need a snort. Switch, how long's it gonna be, buddy? It's been an hour and a half. How's it gonna be when the internet is back? Another fail. How am I gonna stream? That was pilot error.
    16:11
    You'll see me dead flipping a lot on this game. because, or, actually, I feel like I could do more drop catching on this game, but let's find out. It's a good game to death flip on. I don't know why. It's a structure.
    16:25
    Oh, too much juice. That would have been $300,000. Instead, it was $3,000. Because I'm a turtle. I'm a turquoise. And we got screwed. And the extra ball did not carry over. There you go. The extra ball does not carry over. Fantastic to know. All right. Let's get into another one. So that's the tutorial
    16:49
    But now we're just gonna maybe talk what we're playing, but we're just gonna relax and beat the crap out of each other
    16:56
    Here we go. I'll start us off Don't get Drop cat Gorbachev! Take my ball. Gorby! Wait! It didn't... hold on. It didn't give me Gorby? Didn't I shoot him? Doesn't matter.
    17:39
    Stop! Now we got Pinbot, okay. Good. Get Pinbot out of the way because he's one of the harder shots. Now, our multi-ball's ready. Like Crystal mentioned before, it's a two-ball multi-ball, but because that ball's locked in there now, she gets to steal that lock.
    17:58
    She gets to release it. What are you drinking? And what kind of soda? Seven-up? Club soda? It's called club soda because you gotta be in the cool club to drink it. Just kidding, I don't know. That is how you do not plunge. Looking for examples of how not to plunge.
    18:25
    Oh yeah, I forgot I gotta steal that lock. I was teaching a class on pinball here a couple weeks ago, and one of my favorite students, I taught her about lock feeling when I had locked the ball and I was like, should I teach her this? Yeah, I'm going to teach her it.
    18:48
    But that joy that they have on their face when they're like, I can't do that! What? It is weird. It feels like we're talking to a ghost, not having the internet around. Okay.
    19:15
    Alright. What creepy story were you telling the internet? I was telling them about a ghost that might have lost you.
    19:24
    Crystal, why didn't you lost you? Because I was blathering. Blathering? Blathering. Blathering blathersky. What is that from? I don't know. YouTube is. Hey YouTube, what are you doing? Hey YouTube.
    19:45
    Thank you buddy. Nailed it. Blue. I think if you get an express lane 1 and 2, ramps are worth 300k. Or, it's either 300k that you're awarded and then each ramp is 100k.
    20:03
    Shards. Please. Nice. Woo! Gotcha. Go for it. Okay, crack. There it is. Now what do I do? Uh, let's do a ramp.
    20:25
    Ramp forward. I gotta hit a ramp, though. Yeah. Aw. Is there time? Nope. Zero grace period. Gotcha. Eat it, Santa Claus. And you have a door in? Yep. Give me... Give me a trouble.
    20:54
    Now we just need Mary. Wait, why did I shoot so late on that? Not good. Sensitive slingshot. The bonus is lit on the right lane. Sensitive slingshot is going to be like my new... You just butt-started a game of Star Wars. My thigh started it.
    21:18
    Your thigh is your butt, dude. It's the back of my head. Now, the drop targets for the passengers, Marilyn and Pinbot, are timed. But let's go for the lock here. Maybe we can collect it like this.
    21:34
    Tough lamp. Well done. And jackpot's over. And let's raise it a little bit. A little up and down motion there.
    21:49
    Too much trust? Alright, jackpot's over. We couldn't get our hands on the ball in time. Well done. Alright. Express lane, express lane, ramp out with your tamp out. Where's the control? Wait, wait, I said wait, Paul, how could you?
    22:31
    Paul, you screwed me, Paul, you screwed me, not again I was thinking if that would have been a hair earlier it would have smacked both those targets and maybe not have drained me right down the center but see shooting for Maryland is trouble we did get the ferry passenger how many times that can happen tonight oh I didn't get the ferry passenger I just wanted to keep them all illuminated That post that's close to Maryland on the lock of it there, real... Real, real stick in the butt.
    23:08
    Or whatever else. Nope! Too bad that wasn't lit. Barbie? I got an idea. What are you going to do? Barbie?
    23:23
    Is that mine? No. All right. Here we go. I'm gonna have to get some fries for my ketchup. Don't break my drink. They look exactly the same. They do look exactly the same. Two completely different drinks. What is... Your taxi! You're too big to ride! Yo, this game is a little xenophobic. Yeah, well, I mean, it was 1988. That's no excuse! Just kidding, I love this game. It's hilarious. That's hilarious.
    24:04
    Okay. Hey, yo, sexy. Oh, that's cute. Hey, yo, sexy. A little tip, a little jack tip. All right. I'm going to have to. Holy hell. Oh, lordy, lordy. That was a.
    24:18
    I think you're going to have to loosen the left ramp here. I like that it's. It's a little tight. I like that it's a little tight.
    24:29
    How could you? I'm personally impressed. We were friends, good. I trusted you. You were my brother. Hello, taxi.
    24:44
    Go for the drag-tod. Oooh, tip-off! So, I didn't know you could tap half in this game. But we did it. the tippy tap? I just wanted to know.
    25:02
    Hey, if you guys want to know more about cool pinball techniques like that, go to deadflip.com forward slash tutorials. I animated a bunch of gifs that show you how to do certain moves like that. Papa also has some great tutorials. On what? Pinball tips. Oh, they got a lot of great tutorials.
    25:20
    But this isn't Papa's channel, is it, Crystal? It's not, but I'm just saying, You know, gotta support the... Do you? Yeah. Do you? That'd be cool. Do you? Do it. Do you? We're all walks of... Do you? If you own Mike's Sub Shop, do you go tell people to go check out Subway? Not Subway, but maybe like Joe's Sub Shop. Yeah, Joe's a good guy. He makes good subs. He doesn't make great subs. He doesn't make really good subs. But he makes good, you know. He's got his subs in order. He's got a good meatball sub. I need some subs. I had a gross sub for dinner. Unsatisfying. Yo, Pop is the shit. Pop is the only reason I know anything about pinball. And Zach's the only reason I know how to play pinball. Pop is the only reason I know anything about pinball, and you're the only reason why I know how to play pinball. There you go. Have you had Zach teach you how to play anything yet? I only just met Zach a couple weeks ago. He's a butthole. Wow, rude. There it is, Internet. You heard it here. You heard it here first. Yo, Dad's been drinking again. Zach's hurt. Three-day butthole. Great. Oh, Zach's starting. How are you doing that? Everybody on YouTube can think every second of my butt. You said thigh.
    26:31
    It is my butt. I'm the eye. Was that a crossover? It was close. A crossover. Yeah. It's a hybrid. So a crossover is when you shoot both ramps, one directly after the other.
    26:50
    It is a feature in the game. Is it like your million after how many times? I don't know how many ramps, but I think we should try ramping out to see what we can do. We need pinball. Let's get our lock grip. Our lock grip.
    27:11
    Mines are lines outside. Mines are lines. Mines are the lines outside. Okay, so I have a dumb question. Yes. What are the green emeralds in the middle? So mine are lit for 20k. Yours was up to 60k. That's because I hit the ramp many times. So it's every time you hit a ramp, it goes up. I didn't know. Actually, I think you just answered the question on when the million is lit. I think you've got to shoot the ramp five or six times. Oh!
    27:39
    Deductive reasoning. Yep. You know what? We'll do one more tutorial after this. Yeah? Just to recap everything that we were uncertain about. So we're going to start over like we never taught anybody. Extra ball and stuff like that. No, just something we can link to. It would be like, here's the us not fucking around. I got G.O.S. And I can post it on my blog.
    28:00
    Me actually doing a tutorial instead of just posting. Crystal's Booty Blogs. Oh, what is this? Hot mess.
    28:11
    Crystal's Booty Blogs. Yeah. It's called, it's called, uh, Oh, man. The time is on. I have so many great names to spit out, but they all got jumbled together.
    28:26
    Your brain overloaded on... It's like, there's so many great things to say. Another great flail by Crystal Gimmick.
    28:35
    Man. What do you think the legality of starting an Uber that is based on driving people around on my motorcycle is? I've thought about that all the time. It's like there's an Uber for moats. It's just like you get a really tough looking dude show up. You get to wrap your arms around him and they drop you off at a party or something. Or like a Wave Runner Uber. All right, I need to stop playing. Wait, is there an Uber with Wave Runners? Because that's pretty ridiculous. Sorry for the cursing, guys. If you're trying to show this to your children, don't. Don't? It's too late.
    29:24
    All right. I need the squeaky release on the left. And I'm going to miss. No. I'm playing with fire here, folks.
    29:38
    Girl, you crazy. What? Shoot Santa, dude. All right. Cool. Shoot Santa. What a waste. What a world. Fragrance! Fragrance! Are you saying pregnant? Fragrance! Fragrance? Alright, let's go for passenger. Wait, is that not the line? Because it will give me Santa. Um, I think if you point right now, all your progress is going to disappear unless you hit carry passenger already.
    30:15
    Oh, looks like, uh, you hit carry. Awesome. There it is. Try it again! Oh! You jinxed me, Dana! Try it again! Oh! I love when you hit Santa so hard it just bounces out. Yeah. When you hit Santa so hard. Dana can't. I do not like that Santa Claus at all. Oh, oh, oh. No, it's very like not what Santa would actually come to. Oh, oh, oh. I feel like not what Santa would actually sound like. What? Like really pitchy. I don't know. Sounds more like Santa. No, see, I don't think it's a real Santa. If you look at him here, that looks like a drunk old homeless dude.
    31:03
    Ooh! Alright, we're gonna do that. Boom, boom. Nope, nothing. They call it boom boom. Oh, I almost backhanded that. You see that? Twitch, please.
    31:16
    What's it gonna take? For Twitch to be down for this long, people are losing some money. There we go. Like me! Uh-oh, here we go. What's the jackpot worth?
    31:29
    I just see a bunch of zeros, so... 100,000 points, maybe? That's not a lot. I can't tell. I don't think there's a number on here. I don't really want to collect that. I'd like to kind of see if we can build it up.
    31:45
    Time's out on her. She says, I don't think I want to collect it. I didn't want it in the first place. See, you hit one ramp, so now you're up to 40k. Okay. Ramp out, dude. Ramp out, wizard. It's got to be a combo. Yeah.
    32:02
    Ramp out, wizard. Ramp out. Oh, rude. Okay, yeah. That's not a very big jackpot we got here. It's 142,000. Yeah, it's pretty weak. Extra call. Extra call.
    32:24
    I have a gift. Call. Are the lights out on the Joyride doors down below? I think you'd get something for collecting all those too, if I'm not mistaken. Say again. My turn. You need my real lamp. I do. My real lamp.
    32:46
    Nice. Nice and dry. It just smells like delicious cooked corn in here. It smells like burnt toast.
    32:56
    I think it's broken. Oh yeah, I got a nice football! Shit! Farts, you mean. I mean, garnet. Hex...crap. Oh crap.
    33:12
    What do I got? Well, there's the replay we didn't need. By the way, this game's on free play right now. Last Wednesday of the month at Logan Arcade, all pinballs are on free play. Good to know, eh?
    33:23
    All pinballs? Do you like pinballs? What does it mean? Yes, I do. I think it's okay. Wow, 30. Don't do it. I don't want to hear it. Yeah. All right, you go first. What was the final score?
    33:42
    Game over. Was that a zero? No, that's a nothing. I wonder how that happened. That's out.
    33:51
    Free fly! It's like out, out. Oh, man, that was a jump out. Oh, it's a line. Yeah. That sucks. I'm going to write it in the book right now.
    34:04
    It's pointless. There's nothing we can do. What do you mean there's nothing we can do? Can't really pick things. Could it be a wire? Yeah. Could it be a wire? Absolutely. Absolutely could be a wire.
    34:14
    All right, I'll start the show. Alright folks, now that we know, let's do the quick tutorial. You ready? I'm going to clap so we know when the tutorial starts. Someone link this time. Ready? Here we go folks We are on taxi from Williams back in 1988 and here how you blow this game up Alright so before you plunge a few things to note You have a degree of scoring over here in this spin out area When you plunge, as it spins in the cup up here, it's going to progress what is lit. It's going to go up to 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 and then back up to 1. So you want to plunge soft to either get 25,000 spot a passenger, which gives you one of the lit passengers you have on here, or 100K, which on ball one you get 100,000 points. Ball two you get 200,000 points. And ball three you get 300,000 points, because it's a multiplier based on the ball that you're on. Okay?
    35:20
    So that's the whole skill shotting thing over there. Then there's the characters you want to collect. So right now we have Pinbot and Gorbachev. Those are always the first two that are like that. There you go. So on the right you got three drop targets. That'll collect Pinbot. This inner right orbit is how you collect Gorbachev and they're indicated here. They'll light up once you've nailed them. Lola or Marilyn, depending on the machine that you're on, are the three banks right here in the middle. Santa and Joyride are this saucer up here and Dracula's here on the left hand side. Once you collect all those, it starts a timed jackpot where you get to shoot the Gorbachev shot one more time. It's a very tight time, so you need to get that ball to the left flipper and up there ASAP
    36:02
    There is a two ball multi ball in this game So you shoot this tight right what looks like it's going to be an orbit, but it just falls into a saucer It'll hold a ball there physically puts another ball in the plunger which gives you another opportunity To collect a hundred thousand points or another passenger if you can soft plunge correctly puts it up in the top lanes, then it'll light the left ramp, shoot the left ramp to release this ball. You have a two-ball multi-ball. In that two-ball multi-ball, you could use that ball to start knocking out some of your other passengers or the proper way that they expect you to play it is there's a number one that's not lit right here where that lock shot is. You've got to put a ball in there. Then you need to quickly get another ball into the Dracula shot. Express lane number two. There you go. These are called the express lanes. Once those balls come out, you now need to just start rocking the crap out of the ramps. Boom, boom, boom, boom. They're worth money. And they are worth a lot of cash. So that's your multi-ball. There's the Joyride, which you get from just collecting, I believe... It's when your bonus is lit here. Okay. Or when...
    37:07
    Yeah, that's it. Okay. So the in-lane light, I believe, will light Joyride. And Joyride is where you collect Santa also. And that is a mystery award and give you a passenger and give you crappy score it could give you An extra ball as crystal seems to be getting all the freaking time Good for her and extra balls collected right here in the Dracula shot. It's a little orange arrow that will light up There is a million shot indicated on the play field here to light that you need to combo the ramps six times So right now we're at 20k if you shoot a ramp then combo It'll go up to 40, then 60, then combo, combo, combo. Then the game will go, ooh, million! And this white arrow will light up. You've just got to shoot Joyride, million points. The physical bell in the back goes nuts, and it's just cast for days.
    37:54
    What else are we missing here? Did you talk about the lanes? Okay, there you go. So we've got the top lanes up there that spell C-A-B. Spelling Cab advances your bonus multiplier, okay, which is indicated here. After enough of them, I believe four of them, it gives you an extra ball. Also, every time you complete them, it advances the communal jackpot that is also on the back last year that you can't see right now. It is another readout that is a score that builds and builds and builds, and it carries over to every game. So if this game was sitting here for days and no one ever collected it and people were playing the crap out of it, that jackpot's going to be huge. And then if you could, you know, collect all your passengers and hit that jackpot, I've collected that thing for I think about three and a half million points once and that by itself is a huge score in this game GC on this is nine million right and that's a third of that store
    38:46
    Outside of that, you know, just make sure you're trying to stop one your 100k or your passenger Work on your your locks here locks can be stolen So if you lock a ball and it's a two-player game and someone else was good at rocking that ramp You just lost your multi ball But yeah, in a nutshell, that's taxi. So let's see what we can do. A great Mark Ritchie machine. Mark Ritchie, awesome. And Python Angelo's at the art.
    39:15
    I feel like we're missing one more thing. We are. So if you hit down, I believe, the Maryland target for the pin bot, it should say right here, yeah, pick up Lola or pin bot to, like, carry passenger target. So right next to the Santa, Joyride, and Million saucer here is a little yellow circle target. This is Carry Passenger. So by knocking down and collecting Lola or knocking down and collecting Pinbot, that will light. And what that does is, as you're collecting passengers, if you get a bunch of passengers and drain, all that progress is gone. Right? But if you collect a bunch of passengers and hit that carry passenger target back there, that progress carries over to your next ball, which is awesome. And it becomes very important if you're trying to blow this damn game up. But outside of that, let's just get into it.
    40:04
    One short. It does if you want to be rough with it. because I've got the... I've made Diner just pay out the nose for me because of that trip.
    40:25
    So I'm trying to drain, and it's not working. So you see, now we're advanced to 40K. 60. Oh, that would have been good.
    40:40
    And our joyride's lit because we went through our in-lane while that bonus thing was lit. So Joyride... And Joyride is timed, so it's not lit for a very long time. It will not stay there forever. It gets like 25 seconds. Also, the passengers with drop targets are also timed. So if you only knock down one target, after a minute, it'll pop back up. So you see how all three of these are back up? You probably can't see that that closely.
    41:03
    But yeah, if you don't hit them all down in time... Corby, Draft, and Santa are basically three guys. Or forever. Forever. Gorby, Drakken, Gorby, Drakken.
    41:18
    That was not a ball search, don't worry. It's the Swingshot going up. So we got Gorby. 20k every time you pick up a passenger right out of the gate. And when you collect a passenger, it lights a new one. So now we still have Pinbot, and now we have Dracula over here. That would have collected Pinbot if I didn't spend time talking about collecting Pinbot.
    41:39
    All right, there's Pinbot. And now it's going to light Lola or Marilyn, depending on the machine you have.
    41:47
    And shooting her on purpose is super stupid. Yeah, it's dangerous. But you'll see, I knocked down... There it is.
    41:58
    There it is. Here's what I failed to do. You see how we lit our carry passenger? I didn't hit that. So, Gorby, Marilyn, and Pinbot, I've got to collect them again. All over again. I think in the next games we're going to talk about strategies on how to just floor dig instead of just teaching people the rules of the game.
    42:32
    Did all that yapping and all my energy went away? I can't play. Don't be yapping. there's 100k and because we're on ball 2 it's 2x and I screwed up the in lanes there that's ok they only travel alright so let's try to get the Y got it and we knocked a pinball target down so let's try to get the 25k there it is who are we going to get we either get alright we got Gordy and I screwed up the lanes again gotta pay attention Okay, so you'll see we've locked up our ball here. Now that lock light is solid. Release here is blinking like crazy. All we've got to do is shoot up that ramp, and we've got a two-ball multi-ball. And like I said, you've got to shoot the first express lane, which is right back where this lock shot was. Second express lane is Dracula, and then ramp out with your tamp out, whatever you want to say.
    43:33
    Let's try this. Now his express lanes are lit. He has one on the right. And you've got to do them in order. You have to do them in order. Number one, number two. Do a little cradle tip. Nice. Okay, now Dracula is timed. So express lane number two he has to hit in like 15 seconds or something.
    43:56
    I got cocky. I got cocky. But yeah, so something that has happened to me plenty of times is when I drain, trying to do that. I often walk away from the game thinking it's over. But as you saw, I still had a ball.
    44:15
    There's our joyride. We'll see what mystery award we get. Extra ball would be great. Mystery score. 100 pays nothing to sneeze at on this game.
    44:26
    Oh. Yeah, if you don't have flippers that are strong enough to make it up these ramps, these are good enough. It makes you work for it. Got you. Take him. Got you, girl. Well, take him. All right, there's a tin box. After your first multiball... Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. The space is lit. For Locke to be lit again, you have to collect another character. I'm not sure if we mentioned that, but... So, because he, you know, had that multiball and drained, he had to start all over again. the Anticolex. What, Maryland? Yeah. Where you live?
    45:11
    Maryland. I love the physicality of the bell ringing in this thing. Oh, so satisfying. It is nuts. It's really wonderful. Everybody in the bar just kind of like, what the hell is that? If in Western let's me design another boutique EM like PBR can crusher, we're putting a real effing bell in that thing. All right. And I'm よう지 LIKE, particular cake recipe, etc. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! Wave hub swear words and help me TALK ar Taiwan cultural Now we're going to go for our lock because it's going to feed to the left flipper.
    46:15
    We're okay. We are not okay. This game, if you can't tell, is a tiny bit of flipper hop here. On some games, if that's super smooth, you've got to react a hell of a lot faster. But it's all timing. Oh, too much. Way too much.
    46:34
    That one's too hard. I'm in the bar. I'm drinking hard. I need to play a game. By yourself? Because it's better than what that was. That was awful. I think you're having too much tequila, buddy. That's probably what it is. It's the tequila! It is now.
    46:59
    You should upload the first part of this where I was taking a slug. I'm going to upload the whole thing. Don't worry. I'm going to go first. Okay. Before you go. Okay. Internet. Now, this is where we're going to tell you how we like to score to blow this game up. Obviously, I think we have our own approaches to how to, I guess, beat one another. Yes. So, if you're walking up to the game press, we're in a freaking Tuesday tournament. Yep. There's $100 on the line. Yep. So what is your approach to blow this game up right now? I'm a big fan of locking the balls first. I lock them up. What are you doing on the plunge? I go for usually spot passengers. Okay. So I can get one of them out of the way, and then when I hopefully get my multiball, worry about all of my other passengers incidentally. Great. And then from there, just sort of see what I got. Now, when you get your multiball, what are you doing with it? I try and go for express lane one, express lane two to get my ramp, to get money for my ramp. You are using your multiball then to do the express link stuff. I am, yeah. Got it. Yeah. That's been how I've been approaching it lately. I've tried to do my change. Sure. I mean, that sounds pretty default, actually. I'm not going to lie. That's probably what I would do. Yeah. Except for, I think I would probably use my multiball, if I'm having trouble with the ramps, to just shoot Gorbachev. So, in a tournament setting, you're going to find people do boring stuff over and over again. Yeah. If you're having trouble with the ramps, I would shoot Gorby all day long.
    48:30
    Points, lanes, pops. Super mundane, but a great way to just chop that wood and get those points out of there.
    48:43
    See, I like the challenge of the ramps. I think it's kind of simple but cool. I don't know. This was the first game that ever taught me basically that there were rules to follow. I remember the first time I played it was here, and a young man who used to live here... James Barron? Uh, no. Jack Danger? Uh, nope. Different Jack. Oh. He taught me how to play it. Safety... Safety net? What? Anyway. Uh, yeah. So it was pretty cool to see a game that was from, you know, 1988, and have it be super Super cool and just like simple but still really challenging.
    49:27
    And I like that it's a two-ball multi-ball. It's easy to get, but... Just flip it to get it out. I need to... That's me. I need to... Cool.
    49:38
    I need to... Cool. No, talking helps playing, I promise you. It does, yeah. Because you talk through it. Because you're talking through it. You're going to teach yourself what's going on. What's up? It takes you out of any sort of stressful butt-clenching stuff that's happening.
    49:52
    I mean, I talk and play pinball every single day, but I feel like if I didn't stream, I would still be talking my way through what's going on. All right, so we're going to shoot for the 25K on the first plunge. If we find that we can't nail that properly, we're going to go for the 100K subsequently every other day.
    50:11
    Nice. Money. Fresh. Fresh money. fresh money. I wanted a ramp to start comboing the ramp. Pop it over.
    50:26
    Joyride's lit. If you were curious of what I was doing there, the ball left into the out lane, but with rattling it back and forth with a little bit of up and down, we almost walked it out. You can get a little shimmy going. It's a... that's a... Anyway.
    50:49
    I did a... I don't know if you'll notice, Internet, I did a little mod. Just a little baby mod on this. I put some post lights. They look like little sapphires. I think they really make too much juice. Again. I got it.
    51:05
    Well, 10,000 points is better than 2,000 points. That's true. Extra Balls. Got him. We'll take him. He can get out of bed before he can cracker.
    51:27
    Alright, got Gorby. So now Drac is lit again. Pinbot is lit again. I still have my lock lit. Little Deadtack. Let's see if I can get that lock shot. Even if I can't get that lock shot, maybe I'll hit Pinbot. We'll see. Oh, I got it! I'm back!
    51:56
    So now, nope, see now Jack can take my relief. You can take my relief. I will. Oh, wait. What do you tell if I play a two? Uh oh, looks like we got a DQ. We go back to the tape. Alright. I'm going to steal my own lock. I'm going to get...
    52:47
    Alright, let's see if I can get it. Nope. Is it going to the internet? Just trying to see what Twitch is doing, and it seems like even the big streamers don't have the Twitch-erinos. RIP Twitch stream of August 29th, 2012. Sorry. No, I'm sorry. We got back in time. Do you remember, were you old enough to have a dial-up where you'd be surfing the internet, and then your mom would pick up the frickin' phone to make a phone call, or someone would call your house, done, you're off the internet. Excellent! What does that mean? I don't know what that means. What's the special mean? Special? It's not an extra ball. Maybe you got some points out of it? It didn't even say.
    53:40
    What is it for? Starfish. Trash for. The display fixed itself, so it's definitely a wire. I don't know if you guys saw that, but I did a little trick where I wanted to get the ball to my other flipper, and so I shot for the dredge shot instead. It was a little bit safer than doing a public play. It's not a public play. It's an extra ball. Another EV? Probably. That'd be upsetting. I guess that's the only thing about playing comfortably in a bar, is that I can use extra ball as much as I want.
    54:16
    But if it was a tournament game, it would not be the case. Sorry if all the cameras are wiggling. Crystal's a stomper. I am a little bit of a... I was playing pinball here the other night, and I did a mule kick, and I knocked over a stool, and startled a young man who was walking by, and he went like this and he was like, I'm going to get out of your way. All right, player one. Let's try again.
    54:43
    Give me pinball, please. Yeah, that's what's up. That flipped a drag flip. Let's go. One up to Gordy. Oh, my God.
    54:59
    Wow. How is it? Oh, that's moving. Warbichox. And we need Santa and Marilyn. Oh, we almost got back in there. Let's go multiball. Oh, good. Pickle.
    55:21
    And, you know, if I lived in the 70s, I would have rocked the gundam. Why? Because I love this one even better.
    55:30
    Because these go under the shuffle. Just go in the garbage. I need to learn how to hurt, wait, not hurt with a shuffle. Get, get me a, get a shuffle.
    55:40
    I told you, it's a gift. Give me extra bowl. What is the shuffle called? The shuffle? The Super Bowl shuffle. No, just the shuffle. Do the shuffle. Do the hustle. Oh, the hustle, that's it. Do the shuffle.
    55:55
    Alright, let's get a character. Alright, stop. Are you going to get a character or are you going to go for a multi-ball? 75 times 3. Let's do both. We can do both.
    56:07
    Alright, we have not... Oh my gosh. Oh, this is ball three, so carry passenger really doesn't matter. You know what? Maybe I'll get drunk tonight.
    56:17
    Oh, you know what? Maybe I'll get drunk tonight. Jackpot! Oh, you collected it? You just got it up. With the multiball, which doesn't do anything.
    56:39
    Everybody. Alright, Santa, you are going down first. No! Santa, please. So, Santa just got off the ship, didn't he? Yes, that's what it is. He really wanted to go to the multiball. I really need Saturday. Banna!
    57:05
    Banna, Santana. Hi, well done. Take up. 75 pounds of trees. You want more than that. You know what, I miss the internet. So do I. I wanna talk to them. We miss you. I miss you. I hope you tune in for this YouTube. You got two dangerous buddies.
    57:29
    Can you teach me how to do that? Tip tap. Did you hit the button at all? Barely. Skateball is a good game to do that on, right? Yes, it's the best game to do that on. That's what taught me to tap pass. So my tap pass is, I'm doing my OG tap pass that I've moved away from unless I'm on a game where the flipper's a little more sensitive. this because I'm used to an older games you could just do tiny little things like this and see how it kind of works kind of but now I gotta like it'll work when the balls on there because there's no there's no resistance you said that is who times four because we are on an extra ball Fire hose! We need some stack racks. Alright. I got a stack rack. You know what? Here's what. I'll get some stacks. I got a rack. And next week, for my birthday... Your birthday's next week? Yeah, my birthday. What the hell? What are we gonna do? Look at this ducky! That's pretty good. That doesn't even make sense. Upward motion. I think it's on a foot. No, I mean... Oh, it's like a little divot in the wood there. Yeah, my birthday is next week. Yo, coolant dude! Who's that? Nathan Explosion. Nathan is one of my bosses here at Little Spain, and he's moving. I have to email Nathan every time I want to stream here. He's a nice guy, and he makes funny jokes. I email Nathan and Maddie. Nathan says I can or cannot. Maddie tells me what I need to avoid. And I give unwanted opinions and let the ball play. That was really dumb. That was good about and it didn't do anything. It was a trap. What? You want to go first or second? Yep, first. Alright. Hey, you're first. You're first. I'm the first. We're putting it out there, so there's no ball confusion. You're first. Yes! I don't know what I'm going to do when Twitch comes back up. I'm going to be like afraid to activate it. I don't think it's going to come up before my time here is over. Before my time? So much time. I think I'm done as a streamer. Forever? Does Twitch compensate us for time lost? It should. If you're our partner, yeah. Alright, stop! Oh, judging on analytics, we've seen that today you probably would have got a $300 tip. Oh, okay. Unfortunately we don't have the finger cam, so you guys can't see what I'm doing. So what I'm doing is I'm taking my hand, divoting my middle finger back a little bit, back, like in, so you're creating a hole. Yeah. And then I'm length-bursting like this. See how, like, that's barely hitting? But are you still hitting it with your index finger? I'm hitting it with my middle finger. Oh, your index, yeah. Barely hitting.
    61:01
    Barely hitting. There's the thing. I did the thing. But you know what it is? You've got to, like, take your whole hand off and, like... Which is something that you taught me to never do. This is a certain, a certain, like you're not in the middle of game play with the ball flying everywhere. It's a circumstance. Well I knew that multiple ball. Nope!
    61:21
    Just like meatball, you know? Like, swipe like your wrist somewhere. Or your finger. That's how, that's how you, that's how you sat pass.
    61:37
    Rude. That was a dead flip. It's called the waft. It does nothing. I think it's just a habitual... No, what it does for me in my brain is it's vibrating the slipper a little bit to give a little micro... Yeah.
    62:03
    Really, I don't think it's doing anything. Hey. Good job! Got him! Really, it sounds like old pizza. Oh, I love you! Oh! Wow! Why? Why though? I'm just trying to light my milk. I'm just trying to light my million. You must turn, kids. Oh! Is it getting tired? Because it starts going down. You see that? Nice! Wow! Shit. I'm just trying to get my milli, but we're not going to get it. No? No, you see how it says 80 lit? Yeah. It's going to say 60 here in a second. There it is.
    63:10
    Well, we're getting some nice, uh... Wow! Damn, Tom! Please. Please! Uh, climbing that ramp is so tough. I usually get it on my...
    63:25
    ...by accident. Well, here's what's great about nothing. I hate life and I'm gonna go drink a toilet water. Drink one toilet water, please.
    63:35
    So, okay, that is time, but that's good to know. I did not know that. It's, you know what, I have to say, it's really great learning a game. Learning with a game? No, learning a game. With a friend. It's great learning a game on your own. At your own. I feel like I stick with you more. Yeah. That knowledge, like you can watch a tutorial, and you're like, cool, cool, cool. Yeah. But I think like you got to do it for yourself. Maybe not discover it for yourself, but you have to go do it Yeah Like if you're watching a tutorial just to watch a tutorial that knowledge is not going to stay in your brain Yeah This is a challenge with writing about this kind of stuff It's like there are a lot of pins that I want to write about and post a video for and then write the rules for But if I've never played it in real life, it's kind of
    64:31
    You don't know what you're writing I wrote the ruleset for... I wrote a post about Whirlwind. You wrote the code on Whirlwind? No, I wrote a post about Whirlwind.
    64:45
    And I was like, What do I do? I don't know. This is weird. I don't understand. And then I went and I played it, and it was like... Ding dong.
    64:56
    Your pinball's here. Yeah, you know what? I think it is just Kayla. Maybe I'll have another one. What, it's making me crazy? Yeah, it's making me feel a little... We got Pinbot and Draft. Did you see that? Oh, baby.
    65:11
    Woo! Good shot, baby! What? That was the wimpiest... The wimpiest flip. 2K, baby! Right ramp. No. No! Both of you! Mom! You screwed each other!
    65:32
    Both of you! Never been co-changed. Sorry, Doctor Who is going next to me. We might play that tomorrow. I'm a little distracted. Somebody complained about the... The noise? No, the middle... Oh, that mechanism breaks. Oh, those details. It's like... Doctor Who is like the Tiramisu of Convulner King. I'm not going to play it unless I ask Maddy what's going on. Okay, that's not a bad score. I mean... 1-1 is not... 1-5 is replay. Nice. My man. 300k right there, Bevan. Yep. Look at that. Super close. Bounce, bounce. Alright, ramp out. Just kidding. Nice. Okay, one... What would you say the percentage on the slipper is for the white one? Whoa! Mood is just my best. The right round. The right one. I'm still trying to find it, so I'll give you that number when I hit it. Because I find myself never shooting for that from a cradle. I'll go first. Okay. Do you want another drink? Yeah, can you... Yeah. Do you have a patch? I don't know. I'm getting drinks. I don't know. If she wants my card, I'll give her my card.
    67:07
    But until then... All right. We got 100K. We're going to let it jet flip there. Ramp. Sharks. I freaked out there a little bit, Internet. It was a good show.
    67:41
    Don't lose your progress. Sharks. My progress. You're welcome. Loving food is easy cause it's super tasty. All the food is so good. Let's see what the internet has to say. Is everyone going? Twitch is very explode but I had a great time. Twitch is down, Twitch is down. I can't connect. Can't move. Switch is forked. Not happening.
    68:46
    Oh no! Just let me stream! Whoa! So, not to talk about another bar, let me mute this really quick. And then I said good good Yeah My boy I'm waiting. I don't know. Yeah, thanks. I ordered it for him. Thanks for getting yourself a drink, buddy. Oh, what do you know? I got really close to lighting that million.
    69:49
    I think that's something you've got to do during a multiball, so you can just combo ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp.
    69:54
    In fact, let's try doing that. Let's try doing that. Let's get multiball ramp out with our camp out. All right, I don't like this. This is going to drain immediately. So you're not going to go for... Express lane? No, I'm just gonna ramp. I guess express lane would make my ramps worth more. Take em!
    70:21
    That was not even a tap head. That was a full flip. That was the slowest three and a half danger you could sell. It's for the show.
    70:41
    Okay. Marilyn, you have one effing target. We're good. Wait, wait, wait. Too late. No, you gotta...
    71:11
    If it's not uncomfortable, it's bad luck. Yeah, right. Hence how. Not great. Not great, Bob. Oh, I think I'm gonna re-watch the Mad Men. Well, it's not great, Bob. No, it's... Not great, Bob!
    71:29
    Right. This is actually the exact reason why I have stopped playing... Pinball all together? No, this is why I've stopped drinking when I play pinball. Because I noticed that my game has been a lot better since I stopped playing. Just for a drop? But I've had three tequilas.
    71:51
    Well, then you know what you need. Another four tequilas. Four tequilas, but we've got to make this kid interesting. What do we do? Donate to kids. Do you have a dollar bill on you? No, I don't. Yeah. You have a dollar bill. Donate to the kids. Okay.
    72:16
    Dollars! Dollars! So we take these. Yeah. Pull them up. Put them on the coin door. Right, right, right, right. Alright. It's after this game. Okay. No. That would be stupid. I'm winning. Well, you know what? If you want, like, not saying anything, but if you want, like, a handicap in some way, you pick what the circumstances are.
    72:45
    I'm just, like I said, don't take offense. If you want, like, a handicap, you're coming up. This is golf, dude. This is golf. It's all business.
    72:59
    It's all business. after this. There's two dollars on the line, boys. So we can make the field a little bit more even and you can do a shot at the tee lock. I mean, yes, but I need help tearing my gear down at the end of the night. Yeah, a little bit. I don't remember going home last night.
    73:21
    You stayed pretty late. I didn't stay late. I just drank a lot. I mean... No, this is... You don't get to tell the internet what's boring. What am I doing? Alright, here's what we're doing. That was not a free pin. Kidding me. Yeah. The whale.
    73:56
    What are you doing, bud? I don't know yet. I'll tell you when I hit it. All right, here we go. Rip.
    74:06
    Rip. All right, Santa. You got Santa Banana? Santa Banana. No, Jack is not going for... Anything, because I drained. Alright, ramp. One, two, shark. That flipper hop has thrown my timing off. So, watch this. See how the ball like jumped a little bit? Okay. Uh...
    74:47
    Oh yeah, right. God, that flipper hop. Flipper hop, flipper hop, flipper hop, flipper hop, flipper hop, flipper hop! It sounds like an app, like a showing app for people who are playing Timber. Check it out on Flipperhop. Can you see the crash? Yeah, I'm a free play on Flipperhop. Three minutes only.
    75:17
    What are you shooting for, bud? What are you shooting for there, bud? All right, it looks like 60. Is someone playing Spotify? Yeah.
    75:29
    Ripperoni. Okay, here's what we're gonna do. I'm just trying to get F in control on the left flipper. Oh my god. Man, you're a mega muscle, right?
    75:43
    So now it's gonna go to... What the fucking fuck is happening? This is turning nuts. Stop checking out, man. It's the flipper hop. See? See the hop? There you go. See the hop? Yep, there you go. One more, one more, one more.
    75:59
    100k and light million shot. So, alright, here's what's happening. When the ball's rolling down, the gap right here between the flipper and the rail is not perfectly level. Either, like, the rail's bent or the flipper or the rubber's not thick enough or something. When the ball's coming, it's not a smooth transition. It, like, pops a little bit. So it ruins like the momentum so it's like you're reading this momentum and then poop and then all of a sudden slows down and you Where you want to shoot it changes
    76:41
    That could be any You'll you'll see it you'll feel it it barely moves that's enough to slow down the momentum that has
    76:55
    Watch it when you move it you drop it I didn't even get to, I mean I'm flipped, but... You used too much of a say, uh, part. I'm sorry I keep swearing. I also keep forgetting to look at the camera because... You don't have to, we're on YouTube. Hey, YouTube! Hi! We're not live on YouTube, uh, that would be against my TOS as a partner. Go ahead. Um... What is... Oh, turn to the service.
    77:25
    Alright. I thought I had a groove. Oh, that was way too much food. All right, take it off. Shake it off, baby. I didn't even know where I was looking. Yeah, it sounds amazing. Cheetos. I'm going to try to eat the stuff that... I can't eat cheese, no, I can't eat cheese, it makes me sick. I know I'm not real cheese, but... Like, real sick or what? Like, I get meat and my throat closes up. It really is, you get like, you get like, yeah, it's not like, oh, I'm just... I'm a bitch, and I have the most teeth. I'm a fucking bitch. But, I mean, I don't know that I'm necessarily what those intolerant, and stubborn, like, other guys are like, don't... ...react enough, and stuff like that. It's not that I'm intolerant, we just don't really get along that well. I mean, that was a little... ...I don't... ...I don't know, I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I'm like...
    78:48
    Oh, it's just in the back of my hand, no problem. My hair! Shit. I'm gonna say the R and. We should do that this year. I know that through high school, I know, and I know I'm a theater producer. Yeah? Goddamn. I'm a theater producer. Oh, yeah. Why don't we go to the next one? Ah, thanks. No. Dave, I'm not good with that. How did people like you get into ice cream parlors? I don't understand. It must have been the most uncomfortable day ever. No one's farting, and then the bathrooms are being used up. What if ice cream back then was like sexy? Ice cream... How has ice cream ever affected me? Uh, ice cream! No! Now I'm going to... Stay! In my lane. Bathe it. So that was the diary ice cream story. Great. Lacey talks about her butt a lot. How is it still... down?
    80:33
    You guys want to hear a funny story about my weekend? Oh! Love it. Love to take them. Now I gotta save. Okay. Joyride's still lit! How is that possible? Oh, now it's not lit. I said you guys. I just realized that you guys are not here. Alright, I'm gonna try something. What are you gonna try? You can't make Twitch work. I'm gonna, though. You can't will it. Yeah, we're not allowed on here. Why? On Twitch? Wait, what? No, we're not playing. I'm so confused. No! This has been
    81:20
    a... Yeah, it's broken. Girl, you play it forever. Yeah! Jinx! Thank you. Thanks for There's no such thing as jinxing. Jinx! Weeeee! Warby! Hey! Alright, so we got Marilyn, and we got the Wee! Warby! Hey! Alright, so we got Marilyn and Dracuya. That, uh, Mr. Dracula? That was a very... Please! If you're nasty. Mr. Dracula is my father, please. Call me Jim. Call me Blob. Jim Dracula. Oh, Jimmy Drang.
    82:19
    Yeah! Why do I keep doing that? Doing what? Not even spinning the cup. Just one butthole. One butthole.
    82:31
    Oh, you know I'm going to take that lot. Here, buddy. Oh, why'd I do that? That was dumb. Stupid thing.
    82:53
    Hey YouTube, if you're watching this, if you've made it this far into the video, I want you to write in parentheses,
    83:01
    are you ready for this? And that's why it got stabbed. And then I want you to write, lol, JK after it. And that's why it got stabbed in quotation marks. Don't mark the time. I just want people to be confused when they read the comments and have to watch the whole effing video to see why that was said. And then when they realize it was just a clickbait, you know.
    83:28
    Clickbait! UGH! If I did a Mule Kick, I'd probably take Lacey. It's like the Clench Lord. You scoops the jink.
    83:52
    Go get it. Don't scoops the goop! You're gonna punch the gun, Scott. How dare you talk about my punch guns! Remember to speak to me in French again. Punch a dog ooster! Flip a hop. Flip a hop!
    84:22
    Flip a hop. Something you'll notice me do, Internet, is if the ball's ever going to hit the slingshot, I throw the game at the ball. I want the slingshot to have more oomph than it wants to give itself. That way it's not going to shoot into the out lane or hit the other slingshot. So when it's going back and forth, I'm nudging up to try to get that to go up. But the second I see that it's going to shoot out, I feed that so effing hard. Remember, up and down is better than back and forth. Is that actually true though? I don't know. Because you want more up and down motion than you want more of a jungle one. Are you talking in terms of saving yourself from the tilt or... I'm talking about the timeout. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's all about the timeout. It's stupid bundle time.
    85:15
    Bye guys. Ugh. So this... Yeah, you gotta be careful. I smell a slam shield coming. Don't hit the point door. We've created 10 gigs of information so far. What the fuck is that? That'll be fun for my computer. We made it to 10! Nope! 10 gigabizzles! You're from Control! Jack! Danny! Corby! Yo Twitch, stop being a bitch! Come back to me, cause I got the itch to! Last beans on my team, I gotta make that cap so my keys are green! I mean gold! Cause I'm wearing fake gold! Alright, I'm done with you! I gotta get paid! Huh? Oh you keep booty blocking? Why am I not doing that? How come I haven't seen that happen? I'm plumpy and I don't pay attention.
    86:27
    Snoots. Always Ram. I don't want the money, I want the million points from... Oh, first I need ball.
    87:10
    Thank you, Marilyn. That's a tough grab, buddy. Alright, don't screw me, dog. Free Santa. You've been in jail way too long.
    87:28
    Alright. What a big job. You son of a bitch. I think you got it with the bonus right now. What? I think you won. Oh, I didn't even remember we were playing dollar games. Uh.
    87:43
    Oh! Bring it back. What do you mean bring it back? I want to see how close it is. That was a close one buddy. It's not. Listen, it's only a dollar. Yeah I know. Do you want to put another dollar in? I don't have any more money. I'm Grover's book. Don't even say that. We could play for...
    88:20
    How about percentage of your check? I don't have a check. Percentage of crystal. Careful what you say on the internet.
    88:30
    I don't have a check. It's my shift drink. I'm sorry? My shift drink. What the hell's a shift drink? When you work at a bar sometimes they give you a shift drink. It doesn't exist.
    88:45
    Was that a control? Did I just get Logan or Hayden's job? Yep. Grounded. Mom! Mom! When I become the mayor of Chicago, I'm going to make this my office. I want to have a room in the back. You do not want a room in the back. I do. Clear it out. Stack it up. I mean, this place is great, but you don't want a room in the back. Clear it out. Stack them up.
    89:10
    Shut them down. Hold them out. Bring em up! Bring em up! Sack em up! Roll em back down! Sack em up! Whip em out! Dipslip!
    89:23
    Well done, sir. Oh. You already lost, stupid! I'm a scub! I'm a scub! Nailed it. Uh, what's our deck not at? Five dollars.
    89:36
    Doesn't set. Alright. Do we do this? Oh, do it. Ah! Gorgeous! Well done. Now let's ramp out. Woo! Oh! Shit, that's so dope! Oh, I love this game so much. Technically is rad.
    90:08
    Right ramp. Boom! Left ramp. You got that joyride. Pretty cool. Wait, my million's lit? Oh no, I need one more shot.
    90:22
    Oh no. Million's not lit. Damn it. It was. No, actually, I don't think you can do the million stuff while you're in that. Really? Yeah, because it was like strobing the light.
    90:40
    So, internet. I put my name on the board last night. I got 6 mil, 6.2 mil, which is the first time I've ever put my name on this game ever. I don't know why I said ever three times, but... Ever?
    90:54
    Ever, ever. It was very exciting because I've been working very hard on this game. and now I feel like I've leveled up because I'm learning about a few more little things that I've missed before. You've leveled up. You ever have that? Where I level up? Like it feels like you're leveling up because you learned something new.
    91:14
    I know the day I found that I could consciously and actively drop catch. Yeah. That's when I looked at my gameplay and went, okay, like something's happening here.
    91:29
    That feeling is so wonderful. It's very wonderful. I haven't had that in a while. You want to show me that? We're getting there.
    91:39
    Stop! Give me the gourd. Ta-da! Pin tip? Drop a catch? Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da. To a gourby snip. Gourd a snoop. I don't like this. Sure you do. I like this. No, I'm a little...
    91:56
    Lock the door. Ramp. Snip-pop. Corbic Knicks! Really? Almost. Not good. Uh, wait! Hold on. You have a ball lock? I gotta start paying attention to these damn lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    92:23
    That's fine. Get back in there, dummy. Not good. The screenshots are still sensitive. Alright, check this out. Oh, that would have been frickin' solid. Nailed it. Alright, here we go. No, please. I love you. One. Over one.
    92:54
    Yes. I'm in. I'm gonna spit on it. All you have to do is stay. One. Oh, you nerd. We're gonna see if... The end is three million. ...the credit's up.
    93:16
    Woo-hoo-ho! Oh my god. We got Rob there. We got Rob again. We got Rob again. And again. And again. And again. Oh, so close. Oh, so close. Alright. Now's your chance. Again. Clean. Clean yourself, Alright, everyone go into frickin' tracks, Cole. I don't give a crap about any of you.
    93:53
    Good work. Here's a joyride. At your service. I'm over here playing with my food like an idiot. Food? What food? What? I'm playing with my food. What food? What? What food? It's like when an animal's gonna kill its prey, but it's just like messing with it, you know? Oh, I like that. Here.
    94:16
    You took all of the money. There was no money in there. I know. You took all of the ones that were... I got the money.
    94:29
    Please. Oh, that works for nothing. Why are you throwing me? Sorry, I'm making a lot of noise. Alright, not good. Spin it! No! You turd. Spin it! That was a good ball. Thanks bud. What are you guys doing over here? Um, live streaming up to the internet, but the uh... That's a great score, Jack. Where are we? We're at the... It's a little more than a squarely, but it has that sort of, just recording like that. That's great. I'm putting the LED back on. I think this is a nice, thankful, you know, e-card, that's a quick, nice scene. What I don't like about LEDs is when they're streaming right at you, But this diffuses it enough and lights up the in-lays there that it's like perfect. They look like a little... It's a post light. It's like a little, yeah. Really? Yeah. I put those in. You did? Yeah. Where do you put all these masks? Marco Park. Yeah. Marco Park, Carolina. There you go. I know a lot of the guys. Oh, we're good. Yeah. Do you know Kale? No, my buddy over there is Steve. Okay.
    96:03
    So you just like... Yeah, I just didn't finish my work. It's got lazy. Because if you left the bulbs in this, but only lit GI with these like star posts? Yeah, yeah. That'd look fucking, like up there? Yeah. Oh shit, that'd look great. I've been pulling it a whole bunch of LADs. I have 11 pinball machines, so I'm starting to... Like, the tattoo is kind of dark though, you know? Yeah, it's a little dark. It's the same with Radical when you play this, like a... Yeah, yeah, I've heard of... I have a whole bunch of LADs, so I've been chasing them out with LADs. Yeah. It's like, it's like 7 LADs.
    96:37
    Oh, that hit. That was a hit. To live like a refugee. I'm getting away with freaking murder over here.
    97:07
    Oh, come on. Come on. I'm getting away with murder over here. Oh, my God. Why did I do that? Oh my god.
    98:07
    I go to the World Championship and I play pinball online, four people live every single day for like three to four hours. Okay. All right. Well, maybe I'll pick him up real quick. Jack? Yeah. Brian. That's his friend. Do you walk in with like two boys or something? Jack? Yeah. You know, I go back and forth with the professional football players. Yeah. I go to the Sunnyside Game Center. Oh, yeah. I was a professional basketball player, I got to be in the, I got to the 75th inning, and I was playing at the White House Field for a while, so every so often I'll come in there, a couple years ago I was doing a B bracket and I placed like eighth or something like that. So I won a little money, but you know, I can really start practicing because it's really good. It's good I watch guys like you and the team. Let me tell you something. To get to a decent level of control, if you have decent home, if you just practice a few flipper maneuvers without looking at the score, you'll be like, leagues above where you're at right now. You need a few. Just cover up that fucking score, practice like you're cat-passing, drop-passes and stuff like that, buddy, and you're gonna get a few flipper maneuvers. So like taxi, you know, I had to roll into this game. Right. This is why a lot of people love this game of arcade, because it's simple enough. Yeah. You can pick up the passengers. These games over here though, I mean, people that are hardcore and good fellows, they know the rules of this game. This is where I have my problems. But the thing is, if you feel you're in a deficit with the rules, ball control helps make up for it. because as long as you keep that ball going, it doesn't matter if you need to shoot the target 9 times or not, it's going to be fine. So, like, traffic on the turn is two-play. If you don't mind, I'm going to go with two, real serious. Pinball that way? If you want any kind of technical effort, I'm not pushing that. But, yeah, I'd like to see your reaction. I know the sad truth of it is I spend more time working on my machine than I do playing with it. That's like pinball machines. It's like an awesome old cart from the 50s that you'd rather be playing with your own kind of machine. I'm committed to not buying any more pinball machines. I'm ready to go. Alright. I have a Black Knight, a Solar Guard, a Super One, and then let me see, I have an Accumulator too, a Hurricane, I have a... I have a kitchen bag. I have a... I have a kitchen bag. It's from Williams. The... The old store. The reason I like those is I love kitchen bags. Do you have the cards in it? Well, they took the card from me. You've got the spot for it. Don't think about putting it back in. Yeah man, put like random, random out what you've heard about it. The thing I like about that is that you can put it in game too. You know, it's not always seamless enough. You like to move it slightly a little bit. Yeah, that's why I got that one. And then the next we have is my character. And then the next we have is a spaceship. Great. And I've got a great amount of straight points to go. Great, so it's one of those problems. I worked about 10 years with him. He was a great friend of mine. He did a barman job at a company. He had some law firms work for him and they came to Zimbabwe. His kids were grown and gone by then. He got a little boy and he was like, alright, you know, if you come get him, he'll be fine. But it was only like 15 years ago.
    102:39
    Yeah. You can win purposefully. You can use the ball to go. It's a one-hander. It's an added ball. You can win a game if you can win it. Oh, yeah. That's so cool. Yeah, I have a, uh... Oh, is that the one with the kicker in the, uh... Yeah, the holes aren't right. Oh, yeah. It's a great ball. Oh, yeah. I can help you. Oh! swing short let's go! I need rent! money! yeah, let's go!
    103:28
    oh yeah, okay, so spinners are always different on these games absolutely What's the tilt level on this thing? It's pretty comfortable. I was thinking about getting a little more cup rotation out of it Woo
    104:08
    Super sensitive. Yeah, no kidding, huh? You got joyride. There you go. Nice, Graham. Oh, I see it. I noticed it. There we go. Oh, come on. There we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    104:34
    You can see it's like when it rolls. Yeah. It just screws up the momentum of the work. Oh! You know what, brother? I'll say, you know what you're fucking doing. You can see it's a little bit flat. I'm trying to get that control. I'm a few gin and tonic speed for it to show you some really boring ball control play. How are you supposed to go? I don't like super bands, I like haiku, they have a good band that is a nice chemical, feels a little more rubbery than they got for super plays from pinball life. They're still pretty good. Supermans are a little too... they don't have the... like if I'm lifting the ball dead foot off the clipper, I'm not getting that bounce I want. It's almost dead meat. See, but the thing is, is Supermans are really good for our case because they're a lot more... They last forever. They're a lot more powerful. And they stay delicious. And even, and even then, like, they don't hurt you much. Sometimes, really like three months in a row, they're like... How dare you?
    106:28
    Got him. Okay. Oh. Come on, baby. I don't want to hear that. I was saying there was a good one when I got it. I got it at a calling shop in that place. So this calling shop comes in on Christmas, they didn't have a price, said not working or whatever, and it was in Savannah, Georgia, which is like 35 minutes from my house. So I called the guy, and this was probably four years ago, so I called him up and I'm like, hey, can I come look at this thing? feet to hell. So I'm like, oh man. I opened it up and dirt gobbers, there was dirt all up in there. It was a bad shape. The playfield was actually in pretty decent shape. The front right here in the wood is kind of flaking a bit, you know, but I took it all apart, cleaned the playfield. Oh yeah, man. Chop it out. I know where to pour mine. I haven't quite figured it out yet. That's the problem. If you own a game and you're playing on something Yeah, definitely different.
    108:29
    I can't seem to make that shot right there. There you go. Well, you got Pinbot out of that hole. Yeah, Pinbot's hard. I'm not a fan of old Pinbot over there. He's hard to get.
    108:51
    There he ramps back out until he gets that million left. See, your jackpot's a little off. There we go, finally.
    109:31
    Ah, that was awful. Oh yeah, it's warm. Well that's a nice way to feed to the left slipper so you can't post pass them.
    109:52
    Nice. There we go. All right, give me something good. Give me something good. Not bad. I'll take it. Dang it. Take it. All right, give me something good. Come on. I couldn't imagine trying to play this taxi right now without all these lights on. I know, it's a dark game. It definitely is. Get out of here, bud. No! Get out of here, bud. Well, no Twitch Arena for us tonight. Yeah. That's alright. We still have fun. You have fun? Oh, I have rotten time. She's wanted to battle on it. Oh, really? Yeah. I think me, but, um, I mean, it is what it is. We're just on stage with two people now. We did a dollar game, called it a single dollar game. It's my favorite. I love that. I really am. Oh, dude, you climbed that hill. Hell yeah, man.
    111:29
    I love that game. It's really, really cool. It's just a popular game. Everybody loves that game. Two different, definitely two different styles. It's a game that allows you to be out there with your friends. I don't know if you've ever played a game like that. Honestly, I think that's more rare. I'm not going to lie. Do you think so?
    112:11
    There's actually a barrel on the left. That's a good one. I'm probably not going to, but once it's in there, and after I got online, I'm gonna speed it up a little bit. It's like, uh... I don't know if we can get a whole lot of it out of it. We're gonna have to see what we can do on that. Yeah. Pardon me, uh, you guys have a few drones up there? Yeah. Get up there. Now, my F-14 a-game, uh, I picked that up with a word out from the law school up there, and that's what he was really good at. So, uh, you can see it's, uh, 10 Ball Light. They have, uh, they have a company over in New York. Oh yeah, hell yeah. Um, guys, what is their name? Um, yeah, it's about, I've never done a 24-ball. I've got to be careful with my hands. I'm not a fan of that. I mean, it's actually, uh, it's a card game. That's a doll. Man, I tried to control that to get those last two ramps and I just couldn't make it happen.
    113:14
    That's yours. Alright brother, bring it home. Bring it home. That was dangerous. I'm hoping, come on Anita, Anita extra ball. Okay, well I mean, Corby, I know, that's not the one that I needed. You sort of finger crossed for a pinball. Oh man, alright, well I don't have the right one. It's a close one though, man. There you go. So are you in town for work with Brian? Brian, yeah. Yeah, I was down at St. Charles. Minnesota? Illinois. Oh, Illinois, yeah. There's a big research facility out there in the morning. Yes, that's right. Yeah, something out there that you can come flying home in the morning. Okay. Have you been to the arcade before? I've been here. To the arcade here? This one right here. You know the crazy thing is I was thinking about a viewer's comment when I was facing downtown. And I'm like, we're going to go arcade and I ended up here. And I couldn't remember the name of it. And I was thinking when I was at K-Charles and I'm like, I'm thinking this is the one I've been to. And I really liked it when I was here last time. Yeah, it's great. It's a place to be man. Yeah. There were other ones that some of the guys were on the team. Oh, that was bad. It doesn't matter. It's not a free play. All the games here are free play. Right now, yeah. It's the last Sunday of the month, which is when we do the whole conference. Crystal, how many times do you think you... I honestly... we should do like a compilation. I thought you just didn't touch that game any more. I think we did Power Cycle just over a minute ago. Because she added players. Oh, okay. You can start it with the Power Cycle and the Ashen Cup. I heard it was powerful to ask about. Oh, I got it. Yeah? Yeah, why not? I got a redeem on me. I mean, I didn't even make a moon one. I don't even do it. I love you. Moon. I just got a new suit. Oh, not like this. Not like this. I love you. Please.
    115:59
    Oh. They are getting a little sleepy. You getting a little sleepy, buddy? Sleepy? We're right. Extra. Extra balls.
    116:17
    You guys want to go get a drink? Uh, surprise me. I'll drink whatever, man. I was drinking a gin and tonic, yeah.
    116:29
    Oh, yeah, well, I'll do a gin and tea if you're up for it, man. Thank you, brother. Thank you. Bernie. I'm going to hit the freaking coin door to sling tilt. How dare you. Am I scared of my left hand? It was like, it was the smell of soda. So, you're probably not familiar with this, but you go to like an old city bowling alley, and you go into the men's locker room, and what did that guy smell like? That almost ruffled your mind. Jack? Jack, okay, sorry. Dead Slip on the internet, if you ever come across that. What's his real name? I'm a bit of a celebrity, I'm here to help. You're a pickleball world. Okay, so I should know this. So now, can you describe what I'm looking at here? I mean, I get that... Here, right here. But the blue thing here... Let me, uh, move this up so you don't have to look at that. Ah! So, typically when this website is working, which, this is the first time it's ever been done, People are just watching us battle on the game this week. And I go through the rules on how to blow it up, and if I don't know the game we discover it together. And I just show all the flipping mechanics and how to play it. Alright, wow. I'm going to have to make sure that I'm still connected with you. I go live every single weekday at 5pm French time. Really? You're going to do it every Thursday? They're probably over there, I'll just say. I have to come back to Chicago at some point. You know, if you come back in October... Oh, that's fine. Yeah! October... Cheers, brother. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you very much. I already looked at my calendar and I'm like damn I'm not going to be here. I think I'm going to be here in February when I'm coming back. I think there's some antique jukebox thing going on or something. Oh like a coin-op something or other. There you go man. Really all right come on give me pin box
    119:31
    By accident you perfect I only get there you go Yeah, I only get I-Bots. I only get I-Bots via the, uh, the, uh, via the, uh, the, uh, So, how exactly are the StarPost-like powers? Yeah, that's all, that's the crystal net. Uh, so it's an LED post-light, uh, pinball. Yeah. And, um, So I took, I basically soldered the connection to the thing yeah okay cool or if you don't want to do any is that pulling power from the incandescent so is that making it different no i don't think so uh it might but i'm not aware of it no right either that or you can get like alligator flippers so you don't have to do the soldering work but that costs money sold around so you can either be like yeah i really feel like soldering seven Post flight tonight. Do it, Tony. Let's go. It's not raining. Thank you. Stop the flight. You may be dry. Oh, come on. I really need to get back. Love that post. Love that freaking post. Oh, man.
    120:41
    Really, you turd? I'm not going to do it. Do you death tape it all on your games at home? Do I do what? Death tape. Death tape? What is a death tape? So, okay. I've seen some crazy things where people are shaking down here to get it to come out. So there's two illegal moves in pinball. If the ball drains out the right, and it's coming down. So if it's coming down here, you can shake it back out. But if the ball comes down here, and as it's about to drain, you hold up the left flipper, you prance the game really hard to the right. What it's going to do is the ball's going to hop over, hit this wall right here, to the left. to the left, so the ball's going to hop over, and then as it hits this ball, you crank really hard back and it pops up onto that flipper. I have seen that movie. That's a death hit. Okay. So, if it hits an illegal move, so I'm like, oh, right. And then... What's up? I feel like I'm in a movie. Okay, excuse me. And then the bend back, which will hurt you and the game, because you probably won't see people do this except for like old guard guys that are really good at it. They can fuck up your wrist. So, as the ball's turning out the left, left flipper up, and where the play field locks into the cabinet, you've got to sort of know where that is, and right as the ball hits that, so it's about here, you just, as hard as you can. Stop.
    122:30
    So there's a Stingball 101 thing that came out years ago, and it's not some of those moves in there. So the guy in the redneck, he's the best pinball player in the world. He's wiped out a lot of the GCs and a lot of the offense. Alright, Chris, let's see what you got, buddy. Oh, wait. No, it's hard. Oh wait, no, it is vegan. No, I'm wearing a vegan dog. Okay, and here he happens. Talk about illegal. We used to talk all day about pinball, like how well we got like a pinball game, pinball game, pinball game. And now, it depends on how it's done. It depends on how hard you want to try. I mean, I don't want to be smoking thin when I'm trying to pull it together. Hi Chris! Wait, don't talk to me. Well, we're not live, so. So, we're just recording. But you can still say hi to them.
    123:25
    Chris, how do you feel about Star Wars? Oh, goddammit! There you had it. This is how Chris feels about Star Wars. Oh, goddammit. It's great, man. Nice game. I want that relief. I want that sweet, sweet relief!
    123:41
    If you don't know how to play this game by leaving the bonus, I'll tell you the truth now. You are 49 times better than any person I've ever met. That's what I'm saying. Like, get the pinball. If you knock off on me now, guys, you'll be on the rules. You'll be on the rules. I just don't have the desire to do that. It's a lot to know. It's a lot to know. I kind of get a kick out of people who knock off on me. I, uh... You know before that? Oh, yeah. I don't know. There's so many things coming out now. Right before you buy it, man. Yeah, exactly. I don't like Mustang at all. Not everyone needs a Mustang. I mean, in theory. Alright.
    125:02
    Uh, I mean, in theory... The jackpot's not very big. No, because someone scooped it already. Oh, okay. Was that you? Oh, okay. Yeah, because I'm like, I should be going for the... Oh, 850,000 of them? Some of those LEDs are out, huh?
    125:27
    I think it said 850,000 for the jackpot. He made 40 times the speed. He just turned around and he didn't go through. He was straight through. Right at the end of the line. He left in. He was in 3. He was in all of the pieces. Alright, but he didn't attack. He didn't. You may join in as be receiving roll their We're good. I'm good.
    126:16
    All right. Hello again. How are you doing? You heard it. Woo! Getting paid today, baby. I'm getting paid today, baby.
    127:27
    Oh my god! All right. Oh, come on. Boobs. Sugar, honey, honey. Yeah, we'll take you down. Take it down, buddy. Yeah, you're on a roll, baby!
    132:39
    Did you know that this song was written for the Monkees? And the Monkees were like, God, no! The Monkees. Remember the Monkees? I love the Monkees.
    133:57
    Hey, hey, hey! Fuck! Peacockies! There's an underscore, right? Dead underscore flip, yeah. Yeah. And he's working like $700,000 a week, like, for the new boys. He was walking away and I was like, he's gonna make it. Oh, okay. You know what? I'm gonna say this. I don't know. I'm just gonna be like, ah! I'm a friend of yours. I've never met him, but yeah. I've heard from him. He's a young kid. Don't hate him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We can do it, man. Oh, I'm in the field, and I'm in a drain. Garbage. House ball. Thanks, Jack.
    134:47
    Yeah, that's pinball. Pinball, baby. All right. I hear Bob and the kick out there. You got this, Brian. Alright, feeling it.
    134:59
    Oh my god, I love it! Mike, what would you recommend I do right now? I'm trying to do a flipper pass so I can see it over there. So, you're going to do a... Okay, here's the problem. A cradle separation would typically send the ball up and then bounce over by itself, but these are so sensitive that you want to do something that's a little more hard, and what it's going to do is probably pop it up, maybe hit one of these pinball targets, hit the top of this, give it a nudge, and it might come over to this flipper. What should be my goal at this particular moment? hit a ball in each flipper so that once you have them separated, left flipper into one, right flipper into two, and then start ramping out until you're fucking blue in the face. There you go, there you go.
    136:03
    Hold that up. Oh, I shouldn't have... Hold that one on the right. Hold it up. No, I've never seen that.
    136:14
    Hold that thing up the whole time. Because the ball would have just bounced around and eventually come up in here by itself. I started watching that ball and I thought it was really good. Let me show you something real quick. If you're really going to fight for some fucking bullshit like that, I'm going to play some goodflip.com foreclosure tutorials. I've animated also. And I've made animated gifs of every flipper mechanic that I use on a site. So, how to do nut patches, drop patches, life patches, alley patches, You can backflip into Drax from the left. If you're holding it up, give it a little pop, it's going to roll in, roll out, and then flip it backwards. I like how you guys can play one more time. My flight's not until 2 in the morning, so... I got a flight two minutes ago, and I'm not tired. I'm not training tomorrow, so... This is sort of my job, it's like, I make money doing this. But because the internet's not working, I'm just here to fuck with you. I don't wanna talk to you. Go for you, and let's do it. I'll let you go first. Okay. Like, my end doesn't look like that.
    138:15
    Have a good night, I love you, goodbye.
