I didn't expect to win. I appreciate winning. That was incredible, but the funniest and most rad and best thing, literally, Franchi is trying to go onto the computer as we speak. Thanks, bud. Just wait one minute. I'm going to be with you in a minute. Just relax. Literally, my favorite part of the Twippies, before I let y'all go, was Joe Chervino, okay, this guy needs so many pets, Joe Chervino dressed up as Cliff Albert, it was so funny, and the only thing that I was howling, laughing by myself, it is kind of a long award show, so if they edit parts of it out, I, Joe, I think that's okay, if you edit some of the talent stuff down to just like, you know, a shorter part of it, but you do you, it's your show, it was overall incredible, it was wild, it was entertaining, but seeing the actual Cliff Albert come in and push over Joe Chervino, oh my God, this dog is attacking me while I'm doing my show. Okay, chill, just chill. I'm going to be done in like 30 seconds. All right, so guys, please, Joe Chervino, you did a great job. Everyone who helped, you did a great job. It was so fun. The dog is waking up his sister now. and now he wakes up Elowen and now we've got two dogs trying to get love from me. I love loving the dogs, but it's very hard to concentrate. For someone with ADHD like me, it's very hard to concentrate on this show with two dogs. And when I'm the primary person taking care of the entire homestead while trying to be a pinball podcaster, it makes it more challenging. But the good news is I get to have my favorite day of the year, which is burning off all of the maple sap today, all of the maple syrup. Before I go, I do want to give one last shout out to Mike, or Michael, Andrew, better known as Drew, Antonio, Darren, and Ari Jones himself. I want to challenge one more tribe member to donate. Just one more tribe member. One woman. I haven't got a female to donate a single penny like ever. I think actually Dan and Rach. I think Dan and Rachel have donated many times and purchased tea many times. So I shouldn't say that. But I know that usually I think it comes through in Dan's name. And I know there's other people out there and couples that I'm forgetting about that have donated. Kimba, Ryan and Kimba. Oh, and big news. This is probably the biggest news of the show. And I left it right to the end. Congratulations. You get a gold star for staying to the end. Kimba just let us all know that she got the clear from the oncologist as he licks the microphone stand. Stop doing that, please. For the love of frick. He's literally like, you can lick anything in the room. He's licking the microphone stand. it must taste good from all this craft beer residue on it I don't know anyways I had a wonderful time at the D'Genny's I hope you had a wonderful time and I wanted to end it by saying most importantly Kimba got the great news that she no longer has to see oncologists regularly look could could things change in her health in the future yes but she got the five-year stamp Get out there, girl. Get out there, Ryan. Go enjoy life. Have fun. That's what's really important. Okay? That's what's really important is enjoying your life, living life to the fullest. Because we don't know how long we're here on this earth. Will I get to episode 1,000? Who knows? Will I get to episode 1,500? Maybe. Will I get to episode 2,000? Probably not. But now that I've said it, I want to. And you could help that all happen. So what I would like to challenge you all to do is not even 10 of you, not even 5 of you, not even the three of you that I'm hoping, I'm hoping of the 500 or so that listened to many of my episodes, not just five, not just one in a hundred of you are kind enough to donate back to me. Remember, I'm like PBS, I'm like a free station here. Only once per year for a couple weeks will I even ask for money or shorter. If I get to my goal, I'll be honest, my goal is to make back $10 a show. That's less than minimum wage for the amount of time and energy I spend on the show. In fact, that doesn't even break me even in all the money I spend on pinball trips and everything else. But I would like to get to $10 a show. And when I get to that point, I'll stop asking y'all for donos. Because I believe there was a part of the reason why I didn't ask over the last year was to figure out where I wanted to go with the show and how I wanted it to be. And I think the show's got slightly better, albeit slightly. And if you believe the show's got slightly better, or even if not, and you want to hear more from me in the future, then get me fired up, bring me back on the microphone stand in the next 24 hours to let you hear about Portal and donate to me the same way that Mike, Drew, Antonio, Darren, and Ari did. And you'll not only get your name announced right here on the show as a huge, massive thank you, but you'll know for the next year, for the next year straight, that this show was brought to you by your own self. And you can turn on this show any time in the next year. One of my good shows, one of my bad shows. I plan on bringing you 100 in the next year. Not just 50, but 100. I plan on doubling these up, okay? you can let everybody know that this show exists partially because of generous rad pinball donos like you i've waited a year to ask for a penny i feel totally justified in asking for a small bit of help and it's not even just help it's like it's it's due it's due when you donate to a server who went out of their way and did a great job and they were open and they were honest and they helped you with everything they could you give them a bigger donation i've gone out of my way for the last year to never ask for any donations, never have any t-shirts to sell to make money, no Patreons, I don't make any mods, okay? I don't see anyone in person who's like, oh, here, Orby, here's 20 bucks for a free beer. Well, I do, but I have to go to the States for that to happen. That did actually happen when I was down at Lumberjack Johnny's a couple times, so that was rad. But what I'm saying is, please, if you get some enjoyment from this show, give me a small tip either 50 cents a show which is 25 american for the last year or 50 which is a buck a show two bucks a show or especially if you're a big company or a distro i've never been okay with doing sponsorships here's me put myself out there orby's on the big billboard i'm for sale i will give you an official like if someone does five bucks a show for my last year which is 250 American, they will get their name at the start and the end of every one of the 100 shows that I do over the next year. And they will also get my unfettered praise and thank you. It doesn't mean, I mean, if you're a pinball company and you donate and you do something I absolutely hate, I'm obviously still going to call you out on it because I'm that authentic that I can actually have a relationship with some people in some pinball companies and still try to be authentically critical, but do it in a kind and compassionate way. So anyways, if you appreciate the show today, if you appreciate any of the 50 shows I've done in the last year, please donate. It gets me amped up. It gets me revved up, gets me excited. I'll even say this, if I get even one dono over the next 24 hours, I'm going to be back with a show. If I get two, I'm going to be back with two shows this week. And if I get three, I'll do three in the next 10 days. I don't want to overdo it. I don't want to overdo it. But there's a lot of news. In fact, just this morning, last tidbit before I let y'all go, on Kaneda's Facebook page, now remember, Kaneda's right 100% of the time, one in five, okay? He's sitting at about 17 to 18% correctness on his 100% rumor. So take this with a giant massive grain of sea salt from Himalaya, okay? But he said that there's not only one, but two pinball machines going to be revealed this week. So besides Portal, which we already know from P3 Multimorphic, another one. So wow, Guys, it's going to be a great week. I want to talk to you more. If you want to hear from me more, get me fired up. Nail me off a PayPal dono down there in the chat. And please, I double dare one of you to match whatever payment you give to me to Joe Chervino and the Pinball Digenis because he put a hell of a lot of work, a hell of a lot of time. He had to pay a juggler, a person who stands on a board of nails, a preacher. The satanic preacher wasn't my favorite, Joe. I could have came up there and maybe done a better or an ordained dudist preach speech. But, you know, they can't all be winners, right? But, I mean, most of the show was freaking hilarious. All the pinball stuff was a joy. Obviously, my biggest thing for the Twippies and for Joe, maybe for next year, maybe just prerecord the whole thing and then watch it live. like cut to a live at the start and cut to a live at the end but everything else pre-recorded the other thing i didn't mention where there was a guy on there and i think we are being trolled but he actually did 72 hours straight of playing hard body which and broke the world record i think he just did three hours during the show or it was like you know anyways we couldn't hear the sound great for that either but guys my voice is going i gotta go boil maple sap for 12 hours um it's kind of fun it's also kind of a lot of work but until next time pimple nerds remember to eat sleep and breathe the pinball de jenny's if i can find my stop bar meow
