I say I say I said pay attention now boy this is of course foghorn leghorn presents the pinball junk drawer you all asked for it I say as you all asked for it now you're Gonna get boy oh boy are you gonna get go I say go away boy you're bothering me and we are back it is of course time for The Pinball Junk Drawer Show 36. The Pinball Junk Drawer. I My name is Mal. No wait. My name is Foghorn Leghorn and with me as always Crap Bruce Sally Yes, I was watching some stupid commercials today And I think they have if you say the that makes it really important like it's like oh look at that must be the one to listen To like the Ohio State. Yes, and the the truck old dude. You know, okay, so we're the Pinball podcast. Yes, that's made of junk The So yes, I you know we'll kick off this show Being pinball media as we are I think we're gonna have to address the elephant in the room and talk about it everyone else is talking about it and that's the fact that there is not a Pinball shaped gift under my Christmas tree and that sucks You don't know well Well, yeah I do because I'm looking at my Christmas tree and there's not a pinball machine wrapped machine underneath it. Maybe it's not. Santa doesn't come till Christmas Eve. Okay, well we'll tune in next time to see if this pans out for me or not. Oh my gosh. So, what do we have? Spooky came out with two new games. Well, one release but two games like they have been. What do you think about that? The way they do that. I'm not sure. I mean, I think it's neat that you can pick it makes it kind of More variety instead of just having one choice and plus I guess they always they lean into the spooky this the horror themes And that is very polarizing I guess mm-hmm. So it's a good way of like making sure what they're making is For everybody right? That's not everybody's into horror. Oh, you like you know, you know don't like This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteregonate I like some of those but then it became so jokey and goofy I'm like wow okay you know Halloween's I watched the first one or two maybe I don't know if I ever saw Halloween yeah we watched it the one time remember I rented it no not rented it I found a time machine and I said well I'm gonna go back and give myself a sports almanac and then I'm gonna go to uh luckily you still have your blockbuster card right there yes I do BASIC್PINBALL Mih nursing engine QB обычünde LinkedIn&carregentetos crunchy Jakeye?, kimpferold cubicle The South so that's uh... good for spooky uh... i'm gonna have to say this cuz i was part of the trip up to green bay now we want to eat at uh... cheesesteak rebellion they always have a really good pinball lineup there cuz they're they're in cahoots with uh... somebody you know you know them they have a lumberjack johnny lumberjack johnny's and uh... the escape room they have a lot of they have really really high end machines i actually don't think that they Those machines aren't owned by them anymore. I think cheesesteak rebellion bought those games. Makes sense. Well, I don't know. That doesn't matter. Yeah, I know. So we were like, well we'll go up and eat before we get into the wrestling. Now we didn't compete. We weren't on the card that day. I got cut from the card. Me too. They were like, wait, your knees don't work? No, okay, we're not going to have you. So we went there and I was very excited because they have a Halloween. I had not played a Halloween. Last couple times I played a spooky machine. We were at the expo and I played... Was it not expo? MGC? I forget where we were. And they had a Scooby Doo and I actually played like one and a half balls and then it like just broke. Yeah. And I was like, okay, I'll play other games. And I was like, so I was like, okay, this is cool. And then I went to play Halloween and there was three credits on it. And I was like, and I asked everyone, they were like, no, no, just play. And I was like, okay, cool. I punched the ball and I played it and then the second ball just wouldn't come out and it was trying to do that cycling through it wasn't stuck just wouldn't come out so as much as I you know I'm a booster for spooky I've never played a spooky machine that didn't break by the second ball yeah I mean I think I played one or two games of Scooby-Doo but it's different if it's a route yeah machine versus a private collection yeah I know it was just This week, I'm sure this is just like the ultimate bad luck. I mean, I guarantee that machine plays fine. I just haven't been able to ever finish a spooky pinball machine. So I'm gonna have to go down and we're gonna have to tour the plant and see if I have one set up that I can play. Yeah, and then we'll record it because it'll break. Keep me away from those machines. So that was a bummer. It looks like a fun game. I didn't get I didn't really get to look at it because there was a lot of people there. How it was. It was quite crowded. It was a home game weekend so anywhere near Green Bay is packed. Yeah it was nuts. Good cheesesteaks there. Yeah so good. If cheesesteaks are in the name of your business, you better have a good cheesesteak. At least serviceable because their parking is atrocious. Yes. But that's okay. It's worth the fight to get in to eat the... There's cheesesteaks and there's pinball but you might have to walk several blocks. Lemony Em wrist Pinball EconomicsPrimary ip The AboutDAs But here they had a definitive this is the number we making of each so I sure this I don know if they sell it or not Yeah you never know I think it neat that they having two different teams Yeah Oh yeah Do it you said that that they're like two different developers kind of so it's gonna play different the rule sets will be different Which is important because I think with the Ultraman. What was it Halloween and Ultraman? I think that suffered with it's the same game just like different art The Is different different otherwise well I guess doesn't have to know yeah I've never actually seen an ultra man in my plate an ultra man. Yeah at that women's tournament. Oh, that's awesome I've never even seen one in my life. You know and I like I have Ultraman standing right next to Darth Vader in my room And they're they're always with us for these podcasts. It's staring at us with their dead eyes So like doll's eyes, I think that actually was an import from Japan wasn't it? The Yeah, her cut her Cousin made it so it like has electronics in it though the Ultraman we're talking about is like three feet four feet No, no, it's not like three feet tall. Yeah, so it has like a little thing that lights up. I have to fix it But yeah, whatever Welcome to big dolls talk Big doll junk drawer. No, no, so good for that. We'll see how it goes. I know the markets shifting pretty dramatically I I think some of these newer companies are going to have a little tougher time of it. I hope it doesn't. I hope it continues on. I know some people are calling for the end times and some people are saying, oh, I don't believe any of that. I mean, pinball has come back. So I think even if it dips a little bit, it'll still... I think there's enough people out there that are invested in the hobby of pinball that it probably won't. The end of the year. I think I think no, this is the last show. This will be the last show on the poor man network before the end of the year. Wow. So what you know, what what are you looking forward to for next year? We'll go with that. First, it's not pinball related, but we're going to have a air quotes grandbaby that's going to be close enough for us to touch. Yes. Which will be so exciting. Exciting, isn't it? That will be April. April. So you're flying down... January. January. Yeah. Yeah. Down to Louisville. Yeah. Louisville. Louisville. Two. Okay. That was a chant. That was hilarious at the wrestling thing. Yes. Very interesting. Indie circuit that's on radio St Pete calm if you want to hear us talking about any wrestling for that So yeah, I mean so not that's not pinball related now We did make a decision that we were gonna originally we were gonna go to Freeplay, Florida Yes, we kind of had a line in the sand like we're going to Freeplay part It's been it'll be four years since we've been in Florida our old stomping ground We lived in Clearwater for many years 20 26 27 years something and then We were like, okay, well we'll go back to free play for it because that's a really good Weekend in Orlando. That's a great show if you have never been there. That's a great pinball show arcade pinball Always lots of draw like a lot of people are there. Yeah, Gary Stern usually there. Gary's kicking around Marshall Marshall's there. That's his area, you know damn sprawler with projects pinball pinball. Yeah, so we were we were talking about that, but then I was listening to I was with one of these, was it Loser Kid? I can't remember. A show interviewed David Fix, David Fix? Dave Fix? I don't know. The guy who runs Expo. He was talking about this is the 40th anniversary and he was talking about how they expanded it all these days and the first days you're doing all these different tours of the, you know, the factory tours of, you know, all these different pinball companies. And I was like, ooh, we kind of have to do that. Yeah. And now you're like, ugh. And now you're doing a week's vacation. And I was like, ugh. Case I have to say that I'm still a little bit excited about this year but I think it'll be worth it. I don't think this is set in stone yet but we're leaning towards it's gonna be Expo this year I think you're right and sure we can find some breweries around Oh. You think so? Yeah. Maybe. Maybe there's some beer in Schaumburg It's close enough to Wisconsin that I'm sure we can find a brewery somewhere Yes. The leftover beer rolls out of Wisconsin down into Schaumburg that's where The Drunk beavers and every now and then the damn break. Yes. No, I guess one of the days we actually go to like one of those testing brewery or not breweries but like bars that have test pinball machines, which I guess I don't do very much anymore, but uh Famous stuff, you know, yeah, so maybe we'll see We'll see. I yeah, I did was kind of sad. We weren't gonna go to Florida Cuz it would've been cool to go to Florida again Bunny site Antioch The for now i'm looking forward to uh... getting a new machine in and not a new machine a pinball machine in house again a new to us pinball machine that was on hold because of the california trip you know that's that's a lot of money invested in that and that was fine like all dumb spending was shut down so now i'm kinda like okay now i'm back to i want to I need dumb spending. I need to find a mistake. I need to find a bad cat or a raven. And something, some stupid pinball machine that I'm going to bring in house and work on. Oh, do you know what would be the best? No, what? Oh, we should get that one. Oh, God, what is it? The big but wide body. Are you trying to say a Hercules? A Hercules. I would never buy a Hercules. How would we get that down the steps? We wouldn't. You can't. No one wants, no one should own a Hercules. We've played it enough. I was always like I wonder if we could like Rev up the energy enough that it would actually play like a pinball machine instead of like a big sluggish turd There's no way impossible like you'd have to have a nuclear reactor in your yard if you wanted to have enough power to make it not suck So no no not Hercules, you know, I was said now this is a weird story But like there was a guy there was a lady at my work who was like Oh, you know a friend of mine her husband passed away if you like a year half a year ago so yeah, and he has All these broken pinball machines and all these parts and stuff. And she's looking to just clear it out. And I said, yeah, here's my number. I would love to come check it out. And I was hoping this would be like a score. We'd figure out a price, agree on something, and we would buy everything. Broken machines and all, and that would be projects and dumbness galore. But it never panned out. And I'm like, ah, damn it. So now I'm going to just, I'm just been watching around, you know, something will come up. I don't know when or how or where. Funny The 8 volt hours Listen to show 12 or some crap for that with that whole story but so we have to you know that what I most looking forward to is knowing that it won be a burden to find a project and just start ripping it apart and you know I want to do my first like full rip playoff take the whole playfield apart on one of those rotisseries yeah and like either repopulate a new one or Still in context are primarily based on chronological herbal barnilahandask 1968овать, school president Charles Randall, Mom, papa, Lou, Ron Internex Unrepineable Mom, Papa, Lou Unaspairabneh Unacademic We we rapid fire.

Blue lightsaber or red lightsaber? Red. Oh really? Red even for you. Okay. Well there you have it folks. I hope that was as riveting as it was for us. I don't think it was. Those are hard. They were hard. It's like you're thinking about it and you're like well that really depends. Translation Romellano, equilibraktivayedite, R. This week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliterespace The is something that is made by a Different company and an accessory is something made by like a company by the company. Mm-hmm You think? That makes sense does it it does to me because an accessory is like, you know, like the art blades Like we bought them from Stern, right? So that's okay or I never made that distinction. Yeah, I Could tell it bothered that person that people don't know that this thing sounds like well, I don't know that distinction I just thought anytime you modify something, you're modding it. Technically, you're modding the machine. But the company that put out those machines is not making that modification. I guess so. They're accessorizing their machine by selling you more things to go with it. But they're not modifyingifying the machine. So Stern should have like a fabulous button and you push fabulous because if you want to accessorize your fabulous machine, woo! No. Two! The end of the year, other than we're going into everyone's favorite segment? Yeah, it's a sad end of the year for my segment. Crafter Sally has quit drinking beer. No. That's just dumb talk. Don't talk so much. Let me drop in the thing and I'll hang into the thing and the stuff. Okay. Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun. The fans have spoken and we have listened. It's Beer Journal Review with me, Craft Brew Sally. The colors are perfect, so I'm going to use the blue to color the color. That was exciting. It is exciting. Go ahead. What's on your beer journal review today? So one of our local breweries has announced that they are going to be closing at the end of the year. Oh yeah? Yeah. Have we ever been there? We have. It's barrel 41 in Neenah, Wisconsin. Did they run out of beer? They only had 41 barrels of beer and that was the last one. Maybe. Yeah. Wow. Take one down, pass it around. Yeah, it's in the song really. And this is the end of it. They should have had a better business model. It was a neat place but I mean I think we've only been there once. Yeah. It was a neat story how they came up with the name of it. The Am I reading that you're gonna read that okay? Okay, crap your Sally sent this to me on my phone You got to read it, so I don't cry on there, and I was what are you talking about? It's a neat story about how they like the there's these two people that founded the brewery were like friends that lived in Nina And like moved out like moved away, okay, and then came back and so am I reading this yes I'm Startingpenday, The late groundwork as they say. Okay, gotcha. All right, Barrel 41 Brewing Company The inevitable question of the brewery's name continued to surface on on an evening of perfecting Perfecting recipes in the basement of our brew master Nathan Sharpless the answer finally became clear barrel 41 an allusion to highway illusion an allusion I don't know if that's correct. And allusion to Highway 41, the highway that runs through the heart of Neenah, the route that brought us home, an embodiment of an interstate system that we all find ourselves on on our way home. Wow. I don't know why that would make you cry. Because it does. Because you driven on 41 during the snow and you like I want to cry Yup I shouldn have had so much of that barrel 41 I drunk I pulled over on 41 Of 15 Parties predators beaucoup Major ridiculously No, it was just just sad, you know, it's a neat story of like them moving away and then going moving back home to yes Coming back home Nina. Yeah Yes Yes, it's a little deep in the heart of Nina Yeah, you know like one of those things every time we go to one of these places Because crappers how he loves dragging me to all these little places and I'm always fine with it. Whatever. Yeah I'm always a designated driver because I'm just like whatever I'll have whatever is closest to a Bud Light, platinum. Kinda. What lager do you have that isn't some outrageously stupid number of alcohol? Like, oh here's our 20% lager. Next, next, I'm driving. So, like I always say, well when we leave, we always try and get a tin, one of the metal signs, if they have them. Crapman, Craft Brew Sally, May, have a an outrageous brewery glass collection. Oh my god it's like those you know those big totes from like Lowe's there's like three of them filled with glasses I'm like oh my god so whatever. Can't wait till our basement is done so I can display them. Yeah like like I always get those signs because the reality is most of these are gonna be gone. Yeah. It's just the way it is it's natural it's a natural progression you know. I got one one of my favorites is that cherry drop that was by A few years ago, I was at the Pigeon River and they're gone too. Not the beer, I still have the cherry drops. You're going to be like, I don't feel good. That's eight years old. You have some new disease now. Stop drinking old beer. I always say grab the signs up because they're just going to be gone. Then you have a little piece of what was this awesome time in American brewery history. The It might pair down to these all go away, right? I don't know, you know It's hard to tell they sprung up pretty fast. Yeah Yeah, that's when things fail pretty bad. What been what probably Five that have closed of the ones we've been to oh way more than that I'm sure how many how many breweries have you visited if you? Cuz yeah, crapbers how you getting close to a hundred gross close to a brewery The Yeah, I all of them sell glasses But most of them do yes approximately 95 of them. Just ask me I moved them So I guess my proxy I've been to a hundred or not I've been to some when I've gone to Pennsylvania Gone with Andrea or but I used to do that before like when I was a kid we used to go to Stroh Oh, yeah, so never been there. I don't you still think I don't know The ones we went to that I don't have a glass for cuz I wasn't counting my breweries and So anyway enough of that We're sorry to see them go but it is the natural selection of things I'm sure we'll be talking about some pinball companies that go away right and that's just sadly the way it is. Yeah You know, I hope this year has been good for everyone. This is kind of a dumb part of this show The I don't want to sound too much with human feelings because I don't like those but You know, I hope this year has been good for everyone. I hope you've kept Everything into perspective pinball included like it's an awesome hobby and it's a lot of fun but you know So is your family and so is your job and so no I'm not fun, but important kind of thing So hopefully everything has sorted out and you have a good order for everything.

I found вcalibration Wa Dan Spooler, Dan Spooler's 501 dedicated to putting pinball machines into children's hospitals. They set them on free. It's not a shakedown for quarters. They keep them running, which is the rub with pinball machines as you all know. They are finicky beasts. But they're just doing a good thing. They're giving a little bit of joy to some kids who really need a little bit of joy in their lives. That's projectpinball.org. And hey, most of the time they're like raffles so you could win something. I never win anything. But you could. I'd like to win a full game on a spooky machine. I'll put in five bucks for that. Let's see if I can roll them bones and try and get through a whole game. Oh man. That's what I say. I'm rooting for spooky. I want to play the machines. But uh yeah so hopefully 2024 is an awesome year for all of us. Um hopefully I can get this damn basement started. Yeah. That will be a wonderful thing. Then I can share all my beer glasses with everyone. The end of the week. We need a second house for all the beer glasses. So are you looking forward to anything in particular or just keep it rolling? Well, mostly the baby. Mostly the baby. Yeah. You can try to do more of those ladies flip stuff. Yeah, I'd like to. You should. Yeah. I really think you should. You're getting really good. There's been a real sharp improvement. When you care about something, obviously, you know, you care a little bit more. But it's just it conflicts a lot with my personal experience. I mean, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.
