Welcome to Ginnadius Pinball Podcast everybody, happy Saturday morning, I finally got a good night's sleep and we're going to talk about who I think won Pinball Expo, we're going to talk about Elton John. We've had a few more days to absorb this title. I've been hearing from many of you at Pinball Expo what your impressions on the games have been. And I'm just going to say this. It's a good time to be in pinball and watch everything that's going on. The prices are still through the roof. These companies are all battling it out. If I had told you five years ago, there are going to be like 12 pinball companies trying to get our hard-earned money. If I told you five years ago Sternellies are going to be $13,000 and Jersey Jacks CEs are going to be $15,000 and they're going to make a thousand of the CEs, you would have told me I'm crazy. But here we are living in the insane present. Prices are through the roof, not just in the pinball world, everywhere else. But before we get going, an extra big shout out to the man at the top of the Canada leaderboard, Mr. Steven Jablonski, the only guy giving $100 a month to Canada's Pinball Podcast. And thank you to everybody else who contributes. I also got to give a shout out to Donald at Oasis Pinball Arcade. He used to donate $100 a month. And then I made fun of the fact that he bought Puny Factory. And we got in a little fight. And then we made up. And he's back. So we'll see if Donald re-enters the Centennial Club of Canada's Pinball Podcast. But everybody, thank you for the support. Let's talk about Pinball Expo. Let's talk about Elton John. And the reason why I played Pretty Woman at the beginning of this show, I've been thinking about this. Elton John is a stunning, and I mean this, a stunning pinball machine. The more I look at it, the more I fall in love with the looks of this machine. And I'm wondering to myself, you know, in this world we live in, even if you're somewhat shallow, if you're beautiful, it can actually get you a long way into the world and it can get you very far in the world. And I'm wondering to myself, is this game just on a pure aesthetic level? Is it beautiful enough with like 1700 lights and the beautiful light shows and the purple gradient kind of coloring with the gold armor and the silver armor? And it's just pops like there's something about this game, it just pops, and when you stand over it, it sort of pulls you in, even if you're not standing over it, from a distance, this game is going to make a statement wherever you put it, like there's no way around it, it's going to make a statement, and it's kind of funny to me that the two games sort of battling it out for best at expo is this beautifully aesthetic Elton John, and then you've got this game with all of these ugly goblins on it in Labyrinth. But look, they're so radically different. One is an ugly duckling by choice, and one is an aesthetically over-the-top, like, ostentatious, pretentious, glitzy, glamorous Elton John. And it's just nuts, right? Elton John rocks around in, like, Gucci Sequins on tour, and then you've got these goblins from 1986 that are Jim Henson Muppets, and you couldn't get radically different visual pinball presentations. Now, let's start with Elton John. So, look, this game, the more I look at it, the more I absorb the gameplay footage of this game. Here's my take on this game. Like nobody hates this game. Like I don't hate this game. I don't hate Jersey Jack for making Elton John. I don't think it's a terrible theme like some of you do. What I don't like about Elton John is simply this. I don't like the call outs. There's something about the call outs and the lack of mechanical toys in this game. That's my biggest gripe with the game. Well, that's not true. I have one bigger gripe and you're going to know what it is. It's the same gripe we all have. I think it's beautiful. I think it's going to be Jersey Jack pinball's best shooting machine to date. And the reason why it's going to be Jersey Jack's best shooting pinball machine to date, they haven't had that many games that shoot very well. For about 90% of Jersey Jack's existence, all of their pinball machines have suffered from that weak flipper feel. Their games just weren't snappy. And we all love the way Stern pinballs feel. And then you'd go over to a Jersey Jack machine, right? It'd be loaded. There was all these toys. Everything was nicer, fit and finished. Like it was just another level over a Stern machine, which had a lot more flat plastics, a lot cheaper bomb, a lot cheaper everything, right? Even a cheaper screen like Jersey Jack had this big 27 inch screen and Wizard of Oz was coming out when Stern had games like Metallica and it just stood above everything. It just stood above everything. I'm not even sure if that's right. It definitely was like revealed to the world before ACDC came out. Like it showed us what the future of pinball could be. And that was over 10 years ago. But the gameplay was always mediocre. Like it was always mediocre. The gameplay was never great. It was always sluggish. And they were these wide body games which don't play as fast as standard body games. And Pat Lawler is the reason Jersey Jack went from wide body to standard body, but even so, on most of their games, you get up to it and it doesn't shoot tremendously well. Guns N' Roses, one of my favorite Jersey Jack games because of the theme integration, it doesn't shoot very well. The flipper feel isn't great. You have to order separate fans to cool down the coils or else your game will just fade after 20 minutes and it's not satisfying to shoot when that happens. And you go over to a stern and and just shoots so much better. And so I think Elton John now is going to be basically this. It's the combination of a basic machine that Steve Ritchie would do over at Stern just put into the beautiful aesthetics of a Jersey Jack game. That's my final takeaway on this game. It's like a basic Steve Ritchie layout. There's nothing completely amazing about it. It doesn't have any amazing toys in the game, but it shoots good, right? It's got good flow, but now it's beautiful. Like Stern Pinball can never make a game this sexy. They just couldn't. Like you go over to a Stern machine after playing Elton John and there's no denying it. The light show seems outdated. The screen's not as nice. Nothing's as nice on a Stern machine other than the code is better on a Stern machine these days. Nothing looks aesthetically nicer on a Stern than a Jersey Jack. And I don't think anyone would argue that. You put Guns N' Roses next to any Stern machine and it's night and day. You put Elton John next to any other machine and it's night and day. And here's the thing I love about Elton John is finally, right, this light show that they just want to light up everything like a rainbow, like a pack of Skittles. It didn't work well in Godfather. In fact, it looks so stupid when you play Godfather and that game, like this mafia game, is lighting up like a rainbow Christmas tree. It makes no sense. It made sense in Guns N' Roses how they use the hot rails and the smaller LEDs. But also, Guns N' Roses does not light up like a rainbow light show. The GNR light show, in my mind, is still far superior, even than Elton John, because of the way the lights interact with the actual songs. Like if you haven't played Guns N' Roses and go play like Civil War or Live and Let Die and just see the way they use the lights to connect with the songs themselves, it is absolutely an experience like no other. And Elton John now is the perfect theme for this rainbow daisy chain of lights. It's like everything louder than everything else, everything more colorful than everything else, and that's Elton John. So they finally found a game in which it all makes sense. And just watching people play it, there is no denying the fact that this is Elton John. This is the kind of color scheme that Elton John loves. And this is a beautiful aesthetic machine But then you just stop for a minute and you say to yourself okay like it a beautiful shooting machine But then I like where the creativity in the mechanical side of the game Where are the toys that the ball interacts with that showed me they really went above and beyond? And I don't see it. Like I really don't see any of it other than the piano toy, which isn't really like an interactive toy. It just locks the balls. It's beautiful. I love what they did with like the LEDs on the piano itself. It's super cool. Like that is super neat. Now, do I wish there was more interaction with that? Like the piano would come up from underneath the playfield maybe or turn and spin like during different songs? Absolutely. But you know, it is what it is. It's the main feature of this game, but it always is kind of sad to me when the main feature of the game isn't something that you shoot at. It's not something that the ball really interacts with. it doesn't have much movement other than lights. And then it becomes crystal clear to me like Jersey Jack's new pinball strategy. They are just going to blind us with lights and beautiful artwork, and they are not going to put nearly as much mechanically into their games, which is fine if these games were the old prices of Jersey Jack pinball. And that is the number one thing that most people just can't get over. It's not that you don't want to try out Elton John. I think a lot of you are very curious and a lot of you would put this machine in your home if you knew you weren't going to lose two to three thousand dollars instantly the moment you bought the game. So if you wait and you let distros buy these games, you will be able to get an LE new in box in six months for $10,000 and you'll be able to get a CE new in box for probably $12,000 if you just wait. Everybody knows that the demand for this game is not going to be through the roof like it was matrix. It's not. And so if you wait and see, you're going to be able to get it at a discount and the games aren't even on the line. And we know by the time this game gets on the line, jaws will be out. Okay. So it's going to be really interesting and maybe we're going to get some Pulp Fiction. I have a little bit of a Pulp Fiction update for each and every one of you, so stay tuned on this show for that. So my overall assessment of this game is this. I think the game is going to shoot amazing. It is aesthetically beautiful. I love the Ellie artwork so much more than the collector's edition artwork. I think they made a huge, huge mistake not putting Franchi's artwork, because here's the thing. If I'm going to spend this much money, I want to get the top of the line. And they didn't make the top of the line the nicest art package. Just look at that Franchi. That right side of that Franchi cabinet is quite possibly one of the most beautiful sides of a pinball cabinet of all time with Elton John's name in those lights. It's just so awesome looking. And then I look over at the CE and it's so much less inspired creatively on the artistic front. And it's not as interesting. It's not as dynamic. There's not as much going on. It's not as colorful. It's very just purple. And I think Elton John just needs more colorful stuff that pops. I wish I could somehow order from them the Ellie game with the CE armor and the topper from the CE on the Ellie. And this is the first time ever that Jersey Jack Pinball has made me want the Ellie over the CE. I know some people like the Guns N' Roses Ellie more than the CE, but the GNR CE was awesome. and I just feel like this is the first time where I think they tried to make a switch so they would sell more LEs by putting the much nicer art package on the LE. They did this with Guardians of the Galaxy, remember? Same thing, and I don't know why they do it. I think it's a terrible marketing move. All right, so that's Elton John, and I think almost everybody out there, it has you curious. You're probably going to wait for this thing to go on sale. Buying it at full price is silly and I think distros are going to have a hard time moving them especially with the delay in production I'm not as disappointed in this game today as I was a few days ago and again it's because a few days ago I was just expecting so much more mechanically in this game after all of the trash talking Steve was doing about his time over at Stern and I don't see anything in this game that Stern couldn't do other than the light show I actually think Jersey Jack's mechanical engineering department is kind of at the lowest it's ever been. And Steve said it's the best it's ever been. And I just don't see it. All right, let's go over to Labyrinth. So I heard a lot of people told me this. I got a lot of people responded to me and said, hey, Chris, I played Labyrinth and I bought it on the spot. I love the game. It was so much fun. So this game has had a tremendous great showing at Pinball Expo. The game is on the line. They brought 10 games to Pinball Expo. And everybody I've heard who's played this game has had a really, really impressive experience with this game. And I think what's so impressive about this company and about this game, well, it's not other than the terrible name, right? It can only go up from that terrible name. I think what I love about this game, I don't even want to say the name. That's how bad it is. What I love about Labyrinth is that it's their first game. And I think they made a great inaugural effort in the world of pinball. Look at Labyrinth as a company's first game and then go look at Puny Factory. Go look at America's Most Haunted. Go look at everybody's first title or foray into pinball. And there's been some terrible, terrible, terrible first themes. And so if this is their first game and people's reaction is great and I've been hearing nothing but good things from people at the show, you know, I think it's going to be interesting now to see if they can sell 1,100 of these games. But here's the thing. This game is 50% cheaper than Elton John's CE. 50% cheaper. You know, it's a good $1,500, $2,000 less money than Elvira, the new like Blood Kiss edition. You know, the thing about pinball that's interesting is this, you know, it's like, if you have 10, you have 12. And if you have 12, you have 15. If you're even in the market for pinball, you know you've got $10,000 to $15,000 to burn. And that's just the way this hobby goes. So Labyrinth, a really good showing at the show. And that's kind of like, those are the two games that really were battling it out for the best at Pinball Expo. And I think now the challenge for Labyrinth is moving forward. How many of them are they going to make a week? Are people going to be unboxing them every week. That's going to be the key. If this company hits like part supply delays and people aren't getting them, the greatest thing that this company needs right now is continued momentum. And the momentum will come by unboxings of the game because there are people that just want something different and something new and they don't want to buy the latest LE version of a Stern machine. The Elvira is beautiful. There's no denying it. This is a beautiful machine. It's a lazy effort that they're doing it this way, Stern. And I don't like Stern destroying the LE market that they created. I don't like it. So that's why I don't even want to talk about it very much because there's not much to talk about. I don't support what they're doing. Anyone who's rooting for this is just a brand newbie into the hobby that is happy now that they don't have to pay like extreme prices for someone else's LE. But what those people should not be happy about is Stern is tanking the price on everybody's LEs now. Not just the old people, but yours will also tank in value because there's just so many. Like Elvira is not going to go up in price from $13,000 now. You know, there used to be stability when you bought a Stern LE where there were only 500. Now there's no stability. Look at the Jurassic Park LEs. Those things went from being like, what, $9,500 or $8,500 all the way up to $18,000. And they crashed all the way down to like 12 grand now for a green Jurassic Park LE. And it just going to keep going down in value now not up because there just a thousand now floating around the world They going to make more premiums than people even want And Stern now got this big factory This is what scary. They've got this big factory. I think they're just going to keep doing this. Like they're going to keep going back to the vault, back to the portfolio and making reruns of everything to the point where nothing is special. And that could collapse the entire pinball market, but that's a topic for another show. All right. So let's pick a winner between Elton John and Labyrinth as which game do I think won Pinball Expo? Which game am I hearing the most conversation about? Which game are people talking about the most? Which game has the most buzz and excitement coming out of the show? This is hard for me. I've just got to give it to Labyrinth. I've got to. I've got to give it to the company that rocked up with a game you can buy now. I've got to give it to a company who it's their first game. Now, do I think Labyrinth is more impressive than Elton John. No, I do not. Do I think it got more excitement and attention than Elton John? Well, I've been hearing from people at the show and apparently the line for both games are super long and I think there's a lot of attention around both games. The reason why I'm not going to give it to Elton John is because Elton John did not reveal and blow us away. It just didn't. Like, I was there when it revealed. Nobody really saw something they hadn't seen before. It's sort of more of the same from Jersey Jack Pinball. They need to work on the music though. Those call-outs and the sounds are absolutely atrocious. And there's nothing I'm seeing in Labyrinth where I'm like, well, that's atrocious. Those call-outs are terrible. There's something about Jersey Jack Machines. When that woman's voice is announcing every song, it's so boring. There's no animation in it. There's no passion in the voice. Imagine if I did this podcast and was like, all right, ladies and gentlemen, now we're going to talk about Canada's picks for the day. Canada's market trends. Canada's twippy acceptance speech. That's what it's like. It's so bad. It's absolutely terrible. And by the way, look at the topper on Elton John CE. I got to share this photo for you guys. It's like falling apart already. Like I'm assuming it's a prototype, but what's funny about the topper. And again, it's why this is why these machines are nowhere near. They're not worth anywhere near $12,000 to $15,000 and everybody knows this. If you look at the CE topper, they've got these side panels on the CE topper. I'm going to share a picture on my Facebook. It's already like leaning over to the side like it doesn't look right and maybe it's a prototype. But those things are there. You know why they're there? To hide you from seeing the cheap light show disco thing they stuck on top of the machine. And people, come on, these are like $50 screens and $30 like disco DJ lights. They're sticking on top of the machine. You know, like it's cheap tricks. It's cheap tricks and they're charging us so much money. LED lights, fully controllable RGB LED lighting is super cheap. It's super cheap. You know, those hot rails, that's not expensive. Like none of this stuff is expensive. Like all this stuff is probably made in China for like pennies to the dollar and they stick them on these machines. And all of a sudden we're supposed to be like, wow, everybody moved to the light. It's like that scene in Wreck-It Ralph where like all those bugs just fly towards the light. That's what we're supposed to be. And I don't think people are falling for it. Like we just want a little bit more substance. And the one thing I'll say about both Elton John and Labyrinth, here's the one thing, people, and I guess we just all have to come to terms with this. Neither game has a toy where the ball interacts with it. Neither game. There's not one toy in either game where the ball interacts with the toy and does something interesting. Not a single toy. To me, that's an issue. And to me, that's the biggest thing about modern pinball is the mechanical engineering departments are not there. It's off the shelf part stuff we're seeing in most of these games. And the only company putting interesting mechanical stuff into their games right now is Stern Pinball. They're the only ones that are making bash toys, buildings that go up and down. they're actually thinking creatively with magnets and stuff like that. I just don't see it from everybody else. And so I think we're going to see Jaws like load it with some really cool toys and I can't wait to see it. And we know that we're probably going to get like tons of toys in Back to the Future. And if our friends at Dutch Pinball are doing Back to the Future, we know that thing's going to be loaded with toys. All right. So Labyrinth takes Expo for me. Elton John is a beautiful game that people are going to wait for it to go on sale. I think that's the smart play. And then what? Right. Where is Pulp Fiction? Where is Pulp Fiction? So here's an update for you. Someone spoke to Mark Ritchie at Expo and he said he's not working on another game right now. He's finishing up Pulp Fiction. Now, I think he already has his game after Pulp Fiction done. And here's the update. He said that they are redoing the topper on Pulp Fiction to make it out of resin because the ones they've been bringing around the show have been 3D printed. it. Okay, so it's been eight months since this game's been revealed. They don't have their topper supplier in place, or maybe they're making the toppers in-house. I don't know how you do that, and we don't seem any closer to getting these games out to customers. Another CGC super delayed launch. It's disappointing. I don't know what to do. We're eventually going to get our game, and I'll bring it up every few shows, and that's not going to help get you your game, But I did hear from people who played Pulp Fiction at the show. It continues to do really well. Every time people jump on a Pulp Fiction, people's enthusiasm for it is always really high. And it's because of the theme, right? There's nothing like crazy in it. It's a fun game to shoot. It's a pretty easy game. I mean, if you talk to people who are good at pinball, you're going to have some long ball times on Pulp Fiction. But that's okay. Like, we need some pinball machines that are easy to figure out what to do. And maybe you have a half-hour game and you beat the game. Like that is okay. Like we can't have these games be like where you'll never see the end of it, but you want to have something you'll never see. And unless you get that final wizard mode that you're never going to get to, you're going to complain on pin side for years and never go to the gym, never work out, never take care of your body, but complain about the lack of wizard mode in a Jersey Jack game. That sounds like a rich use of time. Everybody go to the gym for 20 minutes, three days a week. It will change your life more than Canada's Pinball Podcast. All right, what else is going on in the world of pinball? Turner, pinball, dead, on arrival. It's over. Can we just give this kid some advice? Go away. You don't know what you're doing. You've solved problems that didn't exist. The game is bad. The game is terrible. I saw people on Pinside being like, I had a good conversation with Chris Turner and I gave him some advice. Let me give him some damn advice. Chris, go away. You don't know what you're doing. You worked at Deep Root Pinball for a criminal who was a fraud. You have no experience making pinball machines. And you know how we know this? Because you showed us your pinball machine. And it is total garbage. Nobody is going to buy it. It is $9,700. You think people are going to spend more than a Stern premium on this machine? And I think everybody in this hobby needs to stop being so nice. Stop being nice. Tell people the truth for once. The only way this kid is going to grow up and learn how to do something else with his life is if you tell them the truth. My only guess about Chris Turner, he has to come for money. Like I grew up with kids like this. I went to college with kids like this. They had so much family money and they started all these businesses that were terrible and nobody told them to get out of it or that it was terrible because they had so much money backing it. I can't see any other reason why this company exists other than the fact that this is just him playing around with some family money that he doesn't know what to do with. Because if this is otherwise and he doesn't have money and he's not loaded and he's going down this road to make a pinball machine and he ended up with Ninja Eclipse, he's going to be out of business yesterday. Nobody is buying this game. I mean, just tell him the truth. Like if we just told Jerry the truth about P3 10 15 years ago he probably would have made a normal pinball machine and been a multimillionaire by now But he still refuses to do it You know Jerry put up a picture on Facebook that just made me laugh so hard He like here we have on the production line three different games being made at once Heist, and it was like Weird Al, and it was Final Resistance, and it was like in the factory, three different playfields in three different cabinets. And he's like, see, this is the power of the P3 platform. And I'm like, Jerry, no, this is the idiocracy of doing it this way because you can't have a normal assembly line. Like, how silly is that? Like, Stern Pinball just cranks out more machines in one day than you probably make all year because they're making one after another of the same game. You have to stop your assembly line and personally tailor each game to each order. That is a nightmare manufacturing line. And to boast about that as being the power of your platform, it makes absolutely no sense. And then we see people who went all in on Multimorphic. See these guys who are trying to sell it with all the kits they bought? They're like 20 grand in and they're getting like 13,000 for all of the kits. Jerry, it didn't work. It's not working. He's never going to let go. He's never going to let go of this dream. And he's just going to watch everybody else who comes into the pinball space who has any success just lap him, just absolutely lap him. And he's still standing there being like, one day, one day they're going to get it. One day they're going to get my platform. one day they're going to realize how much better it is to swap in playfields no Jerry we're not because when the game is off you're staring at a blank tv screen when Elton John is off you're staring at one of the most beautiful pinball machines of all time and it's only going to be that way until the game I know coming out in Q1 is going to blow all you away it's going to be even sexier than Elton John oh man Kanata you should be nicer to Jerry and Chris Turner and I'm just saying, everybody, like you got to be honest with people. I work in an industry where we come up with ideas. And if I'm not honest with someone when they bring me a bad idea, if I'm not honest, guess what's going to happen? My clients are going to go in the wrong direction. And then we're going to fail because we're going to take a bad idea. We're going to take it to the market. We're going to take it to the media and then it's not going to work. And then everyone's going to be mad that we spent money on something that didn't work. Like who's accountable over at Turner Pinball? someone has to be investing money in his company who's accountable over at Multimorphic I think it's all Jerry's money and his family money I bet you at the Thanksgiving table Jerry's family that invested in Multimorphic they're not happy with the return on their investment all right let's end this episode with one more moment of truth it's the moment of truth for David Fix because nobody cares about Cuphead like I revealed to you and Jason Knapp wrote the story in which he said Kaneda, someone on Pinside said that Jason Knapp just covered something that K-Bag said on his podcast. And I just want to say this. I think Knapp and K-Bag is a great one-two punch in the pinball news source world. So I was happy to see Jason Knapp's story about the game. And guess who wasn't happy to hear that American Pinball's next title could be Cuphead? Almost everybody. And that's the reaction I was expecting because I think Ryan McQuaid is going to make a game for himself, a video game that he likes, but doesn't have mainstream appeal. I'm just going to say this. David Fix did not fix American Pinball. That's the irony. The company was broken when he inherited it. He did not do anything that made the company successful. He hasn't worked out. At what point does he go? How many chances does he get to send this company in a direction that fails? He does not know what a great game is. He does not. He's had now like four years at the helm of American pinball and his moment was Galactic Tank Force. That was the first game that was supposed to be the new era of AP and he got Dennis Nordman and Zofia Ryan and Christopher Franchi and you put them all together and the game is a total flop. It's a total dud. And now with all of these new games coming out, nobody's buying this game. And the stupid tank cabinet idea was ridiculous. And that's what I mean, people, when I say when you bring me a bad idea, if I don't have the courage to tell you, no, we're not doing it, and I let the idea happen, and then it flops, damn it, then there's no going back. And I'm here to tell you this. The reason why American pinball will never be successful, the reason why they will never succeed is they do not have their George Gomez. Mukesh is not involved in this company. He's just a man with money and just having money is not enough because think about it. He hired people who don't know what they're doing. And that's what happens when B students in an industry hire C students. And that is the story of American pinball. And it is unfortunate and it is sad. They have spent so much money and they still don't have a hit game. They spent so many years telling us how great this Dennis Nordman in-game was going to be, and it came out, and it was a flop. They told us how Zofia Ryan was going to be this mechanical engineer to bring the magic back. Like, didn't she work on the Dracula magnetic ball thing that happened that everybody loved? Didn't she work on some really impressive mechanisms in the Bally Williams day? And then you go up to Galactic Tank Force, and there's nothing. There's nothing mechanically in that game that's interesting whatsoever. And then Kaneda's ultimate hypothesis is once again proven correct, that no individual made a Bally Williams game great. No individual. It was not an individual designer or coder or mechanical engineer. It was a team of people. And every time these people try to fly solo without their teammates from the Bally Williams era, they fail miserably. The future of pinball is the modern teams that have chemistry. the future of pinball are going to be those companies we see it over at stern pinball we're seeing it over at barrels of fun fine i said the name we're seeing it over there that seems like a team that has a lot of chemistry and i think they're going to have a lot of fun together i don't really feel that from jersey jack pinball like they have this fun chemistry kind of vibe culture over there i think they just keep doing the same things over and over and over again i think their mission is just to put as many lights in the game as humanly possible and they're just going to blind us into handing over $12,000 to $15,000. But I don't get that vibe at JJP. I definitely feel like there's chemistry over at Spooky. Absolutely. They look like the most fun company to go in on a daily basis. I think they just need to get a little bit more talent in the design department and get more mechanical engineers. But Spooky's got good chemistry. Dutch Pinball, great chemistry. When we did the factory tour of Dutch, they have such good chemistry. If I'm you, those are the companies I'm focused on. The companies with good chemistry, good mojo, those are the people that are going to make pinball magic. It's not going to come from anywhere else. All right, everybody? This has been a great episode of Canada's Pinball Podcast. If you like what you've heard on this episode and you're saying to yourself, you know what? I can kick more than just $5 a month for this kind of show. I mean, no one else talks like this. I've listened to everybody else in the pinball podcasting space. Heck, the other shows that are asking for money, they barely even put up content. They barely even put up content. Well, that's why we have more subscribers than all of them combined. But my point is this. You know you can give a little bit more and join the Raise the Roof Club. And I would love it if we had more names to call out on the next episode. And hey, if you join the freaking Omokase Club, get ready. If you join the freaking $100 Club, get ready. I'm going to do special things. It's not going to be exclusive content. You're always going to be able to hear the same thing as everybody else, but I will do fun stuff for the people that raise the roof and do a little bit more for Canada. Everybody, have a great weekend. Life is precious. Life is grand. Take care of yourselves. Invest in your health more than pinball, and we will be back with more great episodes of Canada's Pinball Podcast. Take it away, Roy. to me Oh pretty woman
