No arenas. It was incredible. All right. So we got a double knockout. Are we on? We're doing double knockout. Hold on.

Good afternoon, pinheads. Welcome to another episode of Deadflip Pinball. We got a great show for you tonight. Who called Pinhead? Pinhead, right? They love to be called pinheads.
1:00
Andy Alguire and Richie Townsend from Pinsane Clown Posse are here, and we're going to play some ACDC. This would be day two of our week-long battle. And we're going to do some Brackalope tournament style. What is it, double elimination?

“So about $10,000 to get it to your house... It's Holland. Holland. Dutch Pinball land. It's overseas.”

    technology_signal: Brackalope tournament management software adoption across pinball industry for standardized tournament operations

    high · Host recommendation: 'if you're running tournaments, I highly recommend it. This is the stuff we use. A lot of tournaments are running this software, for sure'

    • 1:16
    Double knockout. We could do double elimination, which would make a winner and a loser bracket, but I think double knockout might be used. Let's do double knockout. Yeah. Might be better. We already know who the losers are.
    1:31
    We're all losers here. So, two strikes, knockout. We're using Brackleup, which is made by Isaac, who's a big pinball nerd. Oh, yes. Pinhead. A pinhead. A fellow pinhead, if you will.
    1:46
    And so, if you're running tournaments, I highly recommend it. This is the stuff to use. A lot of tournaments are running this software, for sure. And it accommodates a lot of different styles of tournament. So we have a double knockout. We're going to start the tournament. And up first is Andy and Jack Danger. All right, we're just going to jump right into this then. So we're going to start the match. Here we go. We're doing a double knockout. Any songs count? Maybe after this we can do some fun, like, song, fake song stuff. Fake song stuff. I'm into fake song stuff. I'll pick your song or something like that. Oh!
    2:18
    And Gavin Miller's here too! Looks like we're going to restart. All right, we're going to restart that. one second. Gavin, what's up, buddy? And Gavin Miller. Gavin Miller. We were at Blind Robin with Gavin the other night. He dropped off a game. He operates a Walking Dead out of Blind Robin, as well as an Attack from Mars and a Funhouse. That is correct. Right. All those games playing incredibly well. The Walking Dead, we played that thing for about two hours last night. It was incredible.
    2:55
    We managed to put Grand Champ up on there twice. First place, second place, and fourth place. I think the only thing we don't have is third, and that's the default Stern score. Did you blow it up? No.
    3:08
    Still Stern. Stern? Yeah. Stern still has it. We encourage you to go out to Blind Robin if you're in Chicago. Play it. It's in incredible condition, obviously, because brand new. Brand new. Brand spanking new. One thing I don't know how to do is reset a tournament. Just turn it off. Kill it. Just kill the tournament. Five player tournament.
    3:35
    It's currently in my van. Oh, we got a space right there. We got a big old space right there. Alright, we'll just do Deathlip Live 2, save, and we'll have a double knockout. Double knockout. We have to re-add players. Also, send me the link so I can put it up. And, uh, Kevin... Yeah, Marie, you jealous? All these dudes. Here in one room. Yeah. And, uh, Amy, David, and I are a little ready.
    4:12
    Alright, folks. I'm just going to put me against you. Add player. Five players now. Double knockout. No more ringers. Start knockout. Is anyone else showing up?
    4:22
    Not that I know of. There we go. Dead noises. What? Gavin shows up and gets a freaking bite. What's the web address?
    4:37
    Oh, Brackalope Live? Wait. BrackalopeLive.com. slash live.brackalope.com You motherfucker, I just had that. Live.brackalope.com Brackalope.com forward slash t forward slash z Another forward slash? Z Z5J Alright. You can also just say it. Google Brackalope. Thanks for that, Dan. Shout out to a fellow teammate, PCP teammate, Dan, for putting that out there. Dan! Tradition, welcome back, brother. All right. Follow that link. Keep sharing that link. You'll see how our progress goes tonight. We're just going to jump right in. So it starts off with... Me and you, baby. What? Okay, here we go. Who goes first? Start match.
    5:43
    The first player... No, we'll just look for it. You got them quarters? Nope. I got a min. We just sent all ours. I got him. Man. Hey, I have two pennies.
    5:53
    Man. Oh. Well, these are the ones you expect, probably. Call it in the air. I'm calling heads, baby.
    6:00
    Heads it is. So you go first. Oh, right. That's how it works. Here's your quarter. Can you answer that? I don't think I'm expecting anyone else, but that's definitely downstairs.
    6:14
    Love that reaction. He was at the door. Yeah, I wonder. Do we have any more special guests coming? Yeah.
    6:27
    Oh, right. So that's something else happening in the studio. All right, folks. Here we go. So as we learned yesterday, Hell's Bells seemed to be the most lucrative thing.
    6:40
    And also the mode that the Sharps play to blow off their scores. So we will bite their style and play some hoes hoes. Good luck, sir.
    6:52
    You too, champion. Not when I'm playing somebody. My man. Fail. Oh, not a danger to be seen. Three ball. We originally had it on two-ball play, but that got a little ridiculous.
    7:34
    Wow, I'm not hitting my shots at all. So, like I usually do, I'm going straight for the ramps to start jam multi-ball.
    7:49
    So I just need about two more ramp shots, I think. One. And that wasn't a ramp. Neither was that. That's a drain.
    8:00
    Two shots away to get it started. Farts. Struck it. So, Gavin, where else do you have games on location? I have Lemmings on Damon. I have there currently Monster Bash. That's the best Monster Bash in the city. The best Monster Bash in the city, says Andy. And honestly, it is. It's the cleanest Monster Bash I've seen in a while. It does have a color of DMG, but that shouldn't really help gameplay anyway. And then I have a Metallica there. Is it a premium? No, it's a pro. Pro? Sure. Ooh, go make your money there, folks.
    8:41
    The Metallica Lemmings. Topps Tournament. Put some money in, blow it up, get some money out. I'm shooting like an idiot. Here we go. Big money, no whammies.
    9:08
    Big money. Come on, baby. Feeling good about that. Why am I not hitting this flip and rant? Did you adjust something when I was sleeping? Yeah.
    9:25
    Good. Sorry. Now I'm going to use my cannon to hit the bell, which is also for my mode, which also works towards getting my 2x play field. So one more hit to the bell, I will have 2x running.
    9:56
    Oh, get up there. So you also want to hit all your shots. There's 2X. And there's my multiball brought back to life with an anaball.
    10:13
    Oh, I love you. Repulsations up and down your spine. Sorry for the singing, folks. I know I'm incredible at it.
    10:29
    That's fine. Uh, the ball's stuck? Yeah! Holy sh- Sharks. Ringing that bell. Ringing that bell! Oh, come on, give me another- Oh, crap, that would have been great. 30 mil on that?
    10:50
    Good. So, had I had one more VIP pass, folks, I could have doubled that by, uh, using it to ring my bell one more time. I totally did.
    11:04
    You don't have to completely master it. You just need to spend enough VIP points to hit the shots you didn't make.
    11:12
    Would you know to use a clear ball? Like when you lose a ball and then you go to get another ball. You lose a ball, you hit it, clear the ball comes back. I've had that happen before where it hasn't presumed multi-ball. Well, it depends on how many hits you hit previously, but also I found... The cannonball is technically hitting all five of your shots. Yeah. So you have to hit all three of these, and let's say you hit four of them and you drained. If you hit one VIP pass, it gave you that shot you didn't get. Yeah. If you didn't hit any shots, you're not going to get five. Yeah.
    11:49
    Give me a bell or something, baby. Kind of like the pick. All right. Same thing. hand into the bell, and start blowing it up.
    12:01
    And there's 2X again. And since I'm in album, I want to hit everything that is a target. A drop target. Yeah, grab a chair.
    12:27
    I do not have any more VFBs. So we are hoping to not let Nick win here. Man. Wait, what? Oh, ball two.
    12:47
    I got nervous and excited. Dang. How great would it be? It's like the show's over, folks. Thank you, good night!
    13:04
    Thank you, good night! Dad noises. You've got a pretty good time, guys. Good party tomorrow. No, that is not an ACDC. Oh, you answered that already. Holy crap. I answered it. Thanks, man. How does a Tops tournament work? Well, Tradition, what you do is that you find a game that you know has the Tops tournament enabled on it. Which is very few, unfortunately. Right. It's hard to find those. And you have to put in double the amount of credits. And where the start button is, just below it will be another glowing yellow button, like a square. And that starts the tournament game. That will take two credits from you. And you just want to get the highest score you can. And if you qualify to get the highest score, your name stays on the board. And it takes the top four. It depends on the extent. I might set the top four. Top four, top three, top four. You just leave it. So you blow up the game, you leave it, come back in a few days, see if you're still on the board. If not, play to get back up there. But at the end of the month or the week or however long they have it set for, all the cash that has been put into the tournament gets divvied out to the players, the top four or three players, the operator, I'm assuming, and then the bar. The operator is the one that has to do that. The way I do it is when the tournament ends is I pull the money out for those, put them in envelopes with the players' names on there. If one player in it gets the first, second, third, you only get one envelope because of the tree I put all the money in.
    14:36
    And then I leave those at the bar. You go to the bar and say, hey, I'm so-and-so. And if they're a regular player, they'll go, no. If not, there's a four-digit pin number you enter when you get a high score. On the back of the envelopes, I write the pin number. The person at the bar is like, what's your pin? You say it. It matches it in your envelope. There's your prize money. That's great.
    14:59
    I start all my tournaments with a $10 prize pool. Every time somebody plays, it adds 50 cents to the pool. That's great. You get no extra balls, no matches, no replays. So it's a great three-ball only play. That's beautiful. And you can take all four places, too. You can be first, second, third, and fourth, and all the money that people have dumped in there is that all four places are used. So all that money is coming to you. It's incredible.
    15:27
    Yeah. That's awesome. Good ball, Nick. Good ball. Good luck. So we're going to stay with Hell's Bells because it's doing me solid.
    15:41
    And then back to the jam. Back to the jam, Liz. But what's this crap? I don't want it, so we'll take a bell.
    15:56
    Hopefully we can backhand this. Oh, leave. Boop, boop. Oh, yeah. Backhanded. Uh, that didn't want to go, but it went. So now, yeah, sorry, we say farts way too much.
    16:25
    Oh, frick. Ring the bell, ring the bell. Yeah, honestly, Gavin is awesome. His games are always clean. He's very on time with his payments of his top tournaments or his top tournaments. Also, the reason he's working here at Bob's Camp is because of Gavin as well. Yep, Gavin's our operator here as well. And he's making sure these games are working.
    16:58
    My guy is a player. He's a player, yeah. He's a player. Yeah. On the fly. Oh, you... Everybody out of the pool. Put it up. Everybody out.
    17:26
    I'll make sure... Tradition says he'll make sure to load up your games with plenty of money. Gavin, where does your Tron live now? Tron is at a bar called Maple Tree Inn in Cary. Cary? The Jake Williams, you're in the next room, and thanks for following.
    17:47
    No, it's the main street off of Route 14. So it's a little ways from here. That does have tournament enabled on it. Oh, right on. So, yeah.
    17:58
    Tournament enabled. So Nick is ten times the score behind me right now. He's got a little bit of a hill to climb, but he can do it.
    18:09
    I've seen him. Yeah. Look at that stance. He's ready to just hit the bed. He's going to try to backhand it.
    18:16
    Nope. Post pass to a Thunderstruck target. I'll just rescue my beer from that. And so that's... The blooper stop works. That's one line. Why would that happen? I'm all the way up. Mm-hmm.
    18:32
    All right, brother, if you could do me a solid and put that Jack Danger won that one. Nice ball there, buddy. Nice game. $1.75. Oh, hey, yeah, $1.75. That was Richie and Andy. Thanks for coming. Thanks for watching. We're just beating the shit out of each other right now. Can someone post that link again to Brackle Oak? Yeah, this guy got to buy. Google Brackle Oak. Brackle Oak again? What do you want to call it in the end? Google Brackle Oak.
    19:04
    Shouldn't title say Day 2? It should. Man, you guys, salty sons of guns. I think there's a new... I need an intern.
    19:18
    You're right. Thanks, Dan. Appreciate it. All right. So... Oh, brother. My recommendation to a new player is to choose Thunderstruck.
    19:33
    You'll see as soon as you go on it. Boom. So, there's Thunderstruck. You'll accidentally hit these. and it just lights up every shot and you start making money off of it. Another mode where if you're comfortable shooting the ball back up into the pop bumpers, it shook me all night long because your points are made up there. This is comfortable because you will hit these. Just shoot for the ramps. Shoot for the ramps, you're going to hit them. And my recommendation to you, there's no skill shot unless you hold the right flipper down and it just rockets the ball at you.
    20:04
    I would say focus on shooting the ramps constantly. and the second one of these multi-balls lights up, shoot it up the right ramp. That's how you start it. Okay. I'll go first. There you go. Now, the button for the cannon, you're going to want to hit either your jackpot or the bell.
    20:22
    There you go. Three hits for the bell gives you a 2x multiplier on your play field. Beautiful shape.
    20:35
    Yep. She's clean. There you go. Perfect. Just keep hitting them ramps. All day, baby. There you go. You hit your Thunderstruck target, and it lit up every shot for points.
    20:57
    Yeah. Richard Townsend. What shot on here do you think looks easy enough for you to hit? I mean, I'm always about the left ramp.
    21:14
    What about rock and roll train? So rock and roll train isn't just the left ramp. Okay. It's comboing the ramps. So back in the day, you could just keep hitting the left ramp, but they changed it so you couldn't do that crap that I was doing constantly. Yeah. So you want to shoot the left to start the combo, shoot the right to continue it, and keep going back and forth. It's like bogeys on Iron Man. Just keep going back and forth.
    21:39
    Payback time. Exactly. T2, baby. Good bounce. Unnecessary. It's not tight. You just put your whole pelvis into it.
    22:04
    All right, Andy, you're up, bud. All right. That was quick. All right. Folks, that link that DT just posted is the current standing in the little tournament that we're having here today.
    22:25
    Oh, I see. You can do a direct link to what you're doing. Yeah. All right. Right ramp. and you have a multiball.
    22:39
    Yep. My white lamp and my west lamp. Well, here's the deal. That multiball will be waiting for you next fall.
    22:52
    So let's enter the game. It ain't going nowhere. Getting your skill shot is very important on this game because it gives you VIP passes also.
    23:03
    No ball save. Was that ball three? Oh, okay. Kill it, bud. So you want that right ramp. That'll start your album over.
    23:20
    Whose games are at Dick's Last Resort? There's a Sopranos and an Elvis. Good question. I don't even know where that place is. I, downtown somewhere, I think.
    23:35
    I think it, no, it's downtown, but it's on the river. Yeah, I'm not sure. They're in bad shape. Well.
    23:44
    Yeah, I wouldn't. The pinball machine's at a place called Dick's Last Resort. Basically. Yep. Get them ramps, bud.
    24:05
    Change into a spud. For as long as I've been playing this game, which seems like about maybe two years, I still don't know half the lyrics I'm hearing. It's just like mouth noises.
    24:22
    They're in the loop on the river. What's that? Big ball. These have larger than normal-sized balls. All right, so that's Andy.
    24:32
    Andy takes it. Oh, big ball mode? They're just larger? Andy Aguirre wins. All right, Gavin Miller versus Jack Danger. All right. And Nick Campbell versus Richie Townsend. You got to buy, my friend.
    24:51
    All right, Gavin, you want to start this crap up? You mean, like, go as player one? Oh, you don't have to, but you're welcome to do it. Oh, you cocky son of a bitch.
    25:10
    Need a what? Oh, we had one. It's missing. What are you playing there, bud? Highway to Hell? Ooh, he went for the super skill shot.
    25:28
    And just barely missed it. It timed out. So the super skill shot in this game, folks, is when you plunge it up to the top and you hold the right flipper down, it rockets it out at you, and you have a very small time window to get it up to any shot, any major shot. It gives you two VIP passes instead of one.
    25:50
    Plus it doubles your score, your skill shot score. Highway to Hell is a lower playfield mode. And Gavin's lighting up 2X before he goes down there.
    26:06
    And Gavin will soon discover that the left eyeball on our lower playfield isn't working that well. But bringing 2X down there is one of the old tried and true ways that this game used to blow up.
    26:22
    That's not my day. Oh, who's this? Yeah, you can mask that eyeball all day. It doesn't want to... Oh, it is tough.
    26:41
    That's a great question. The Schmitz like to move stuff around, so maybe it's back there. The drain off the cannon shot. Is it back there?
    26:56
    What ding-dongs? There's your beer table. If you could do me a solid and put them on there, that'd be awesome.
    27:04
    All right, folks. So, yeah. And then it you and Richie Hello Hello So I going back to Hell Bells here folks Seems to pay out pretty well for me I proud of you
    27:19
    Yum, yum, yum. So backhand up the left ramp and let's get this whole thing started. Use the launch button to hit the cannon to the bell.
    27:31
    And drain. And that's all I wanted. Wow. That's all I ever wanted. It doesn't say day one. I updated it. Refresh your browsers or something.
    27:56
    The refresh. Don't. It'll never stop swinging. I hate it when it swings longer than 20 seconds. Yep. Try to, when you get it, multiply our guys. Time's out.
    28:16
    Solid ring. Gavin is the, he's already diagnosed the throne with our left eyeball on the lower play field. It's leaning against a post. Yeah, it's actually stuck close against the rubber post on the side.
    28:31
    So we're getting hit from the side. Happy to mine, too. You can work on that. Yep. Wait, you can't get any of that. Nope.
    28:40
    My field is just a couple of times. The lower play field is a pain to get into on this game because it's just bolted.
    28:49
    Right to the bell. Now he's got two X rolling, and he's going to want to go for the drain, which gives him two drains, which means I win.
    29:03
    Just kidding. That does not happen. That would be incredible, though. Oh, man, you 2x grain? You sure can.
    29:20
    That sucks. Oh, wait, I'm on fire. Wait. Who owns the machines and whose head is the studio in? So, Nick Campbell here owns 99% of the games in here. Brad Stark, another friend of ours, owns the fishtails to the right. This is the animation studio that we all work in. And that's that.
    30:00
    Thanks for coming. I said to the ball as it left. All right, let's get the jam then. There he goes. And he missed it.
    30:17
    Beautiful. Oh, yeah. Ding dong. So now we're going to want to not drain. We want to hit every shot at least once here to get our edible, so we're not wasting any BFD passes.
    30:37
    There's one. It's taking me forever to hit anything. Come down clean, please. Clean. All right, let's get a good cradle separation here.
    30:59
    Beautifully done. So now I just need the right loop, and we'll get her out of all. Cradle separation.
    31:13
    And the right loop. Which is not an easy shot. Not an easy shot for me to hit. I'll take it. I'll take it.
    31:28
    Get some fire lanes going here. Okay, guys, calm down, please. Let's just calm down here. Nope. Used. Son of a gun. Come on.
    31:49
    Well. Well, I mean, that's more caught up than ahead. Ooh, tight end. Yeah, it is. Tight end. Nice setup. Thanks, brother.
    32:01
    Do you guys play during work hours? Well, I mean, technically this is work hours. Well, define work hours. Yeah, there you go. We're animators, so it's sort of... Every hour is a work hour. Yeah, you work when you want to. You play pinball when you want to. You hit your deadlines, and then you do whatever you want in between there. Oh, baby.
    32:41
    Style-biting. Since those butt cheeks, man. I saw that. Hard not to when you backhand those rants. Go!
    32:57
    Oh, and he gets the jam multiball. Yep, I'm going to have some work to do. Damn multiball. I'm pretty sure he said damn. Damn multiball.
    33:10
    So, Richie, you're playing Nick next. How do you feel? Yeah, go away. I feel like I always play Nick. Well, you both lost, so this determines who is out.
    33:27
    You're not nervous, though. No, no, no, I don't get nervous. I would recommend you just play whatever's comfortable. Don't take any too risky of a shot.
    33:39
    What is your recommendation for a song? Thunderstruck? Yeah, I mean that's my favorite mode. I only recently stopped playing it because I found Hell's Bells phase out a lot better, but it requires some tighter stuff.
    34:01
    So Gavin's got 2x rolling and he just refreshed it. You just refreshed it again. One more hit, I think, should give him three Fs.
    34:26
    Doing a solid job of keeping those balls alive. What are you smoking about? Bob Twitchell. Welcome back, brother.
    34:42
    Oh, crap. He's on a high with L. For everybody. Thank you. I'm sorry? I'll give you one more. Oh, thanks, man. Um, yeah, everyone playing currently is down on that first. Oh, cool. Oh, you got Viagra targeted?
    35:23
    Oh, man, you got... Uh, the old Viagra target. All right, well... Jack Attack 363. Great play here by Gavin. Fundamental stuff with keeping the Bell 2X going while still collecting jackpots while the timer isn't low. So, great job, buddy. Thank you. All right, let's see what I can do about coming back here.
    35:51
    Sticking with the old hellsy-bellsies. Just don't want to send her drains from the pops. That's all I'm asking for.
    36:00
    Thank you. And I don't want this either. Make your shots, dummy. There you go. Oh, the butt clench. Of course, I knew that was coming.
    36:36
    Oh, that's... Oh, Pep. You can hear that thing rattling. What up, dudes? Breaking Dead. Welcome back, brother.
    36:58
    Okay, that ball will be back after these messages. So we're going to try to hit stuff, which isn't happening.
    37:11
    Because we want that at a ball without having to waste our vehicle passes. A bell ring there would have been great.
    37:33
    Holy crap, that just saved my ass. That just saved my ass. Oh, my God. Everybody out of the pool.
    37:56
    We got to be close to an album or something. Oh, no. Moderately. the whiff. That's a great question. I'm not sure who Jack Attack is. Who is Jack Attack?
    38:21
    Well, that'll call it. All right, we'll drain this. Good battle, brother. Good battle. Jack Danger takes it. All right, Nick Campbell and Richie Townsend.
    38:46
    We sure do. Jack Benson here. What's up, Jack? Oh, yeah, JV. One second. Let me find that. Okay. Nick is talking and will be here in just a moment, folks. Fancy meeting you here. Brad 200X.
    39:18
    What is he, like 200 times? 200 times the Brad that any other Brad is. Super Brad. You know what you need? What do I need? Polarizer filter. I have one, but that doesn't work with the whole 90-degree thing. It's more of an angle cancel out. Because this is on an angle. Well, you would think so. I sat there and turned that thing on there, and you'll get the reflection coming in at, like, a tight angle gone, but any of the stuff coming up is all there. It was weird. What's the approximate time frame on our neck? Probably just that. Pinball mania. No more Hell's Bells for you. What's that? You can probably adjust that target if he's going to be another two minutes. I think he's being a ding-dong. He just keeps pointing at me. Yeah, let's adjust it. All right, let's do it. Let me get the key. One second.
    40:10
    Oh. The room with the pinball keys has a meeting in it right now. Okay, then he will not be doing anything on it.
    40:24
    Get the frick out of my office. No way. They were doing theirs first. They do a podcast? Yeah, about beer. Oh, nice. Yeah, it's pretty good. Do you fix your own pins? My T2 was down for a bit. I was heartbroken. Fingers crossed.
    40:43
    I know it does. Gavin here fixes all of our games when we need some major recovery. If it's rubbers and cleaning, we'll try to do that. But Gavin handles all the big boy stuff. Technical know-how. Yeah, when the Johnson Plains gets loose. Yeah, the flush capacitor comes unhinged.
    41:07
    Tighten up your Johnson Plains. Yo, tighten up the Johnson Plains here, bud. I guess I won't be seeing any Jax at Brixie's tonight. Sorry, Internet. Hi, I love you. I miss you. So it's you and Richie. Flip for position. Hug for position, right? Hug for position. release.
    41:28
    Is it getting uncomfortable? Yeah, right. Too uncomfortable. Whoever gets the raw spurts goes second. Dr. Gavin. Hey, you called anyway. Whoa. But you flipped it. You can't flip any call. Well, you won anyway.
    41:42
    I don't know what that means. Put the quarter. All right, guys. Good luck. Let me start. Best man wins. Good luck, Gracie. Good luck. Start the match off. Nick Campbell goes first by the way they've both been eliminated once so the person that loses this is out of the tournament out of the big tournament no more hugs for that person hug list Breaking Dead Expo was incredible it was tiring it was intoxicating in the beer sense and I guess in the wonder sense and the hot baby there were a fair amount of attractive women there was a I met nerdy middle aged men I didn't have a very nice lady from Pittsburgh give me a cup full of bourbon was it Priyanka? No, I don't think it was.
    42:54
    It would be like a... Sorry for the name. The wife of Matt, the pinball tech from NASA. Yes, okay, yeah.
    43:06
    Mark, you mean. Mark, yes. Richie's taking his clothes off. Burp, burp, burp. Sorry if I missed the Big Lebowski pin recap. Please give a quick first take if you can. Well, needs work, going to be good. They licensed all the music from the soundtrack. It is incredible to hear stuff like that coming out of a pinball machine. Actually, they licensed everything from... Bob Dylan on a pinball machine. Yeah, Bob Dylan on a pinball machine. You can't beat that. The Brunswick Pins, they licensed that. They licensed Chevrolet. They licensed... They did not get Kalua's license because people at Kalua are freaking idiots.
    43:47
    Why? If you license everything... Coffee liqueurs. Yeah, yeah. Why would they license the movie, but not the movie-themed pinball game? Anyway, the game looks... I was told it was management. I'd fire the people. I don't... I bet you they have some issues with all the little Lombowski kids. Oh, right. Like, you're spilling our name. Yeah, right. They've gotten into some problems there. Yeah, we're done with the Lombowski kids. We're trying to appeal to you. The game has a lot of neat shots. It looks like a whole lot of fun. I didn't get to get my hands on it, but I was next to it while it was being played. The code was pre-alpha, so the game was breaking a lot, but it looks like it's going to be incredible. That thing is going to sell like hotcakes. Someone mentioned it's going to sell like Ms. Pac-Man. It's just going to be everywhere.
    44:44
    Is Gavin in on TBL? What is? The Big Lebowski. Oh, okay. I like the game a lot. I have a hard time putting down 50% of its purchase price. Yeah. I'm not doing it for a year. The game's expensive, too. It's like $8,500 or something. Plus tax, plus freight. So about $10,000 to get it to your house. In a year. Yeah, it's Holland. Dutch land.
    45:15
    It's overseas. Yeah, so. So I'm waiting. I've not fully decided yes or no yet. But I could have put down a deposit. I ended up using George Walking Dead. And that can be played now. Yeah, we have a Walking Dead here in Chicago. Blind Robin. It's set up very nicely. I did put the bigger rubber on there last night. Did it work? It helps a little bit. All right. If it bounces off the rail before it hits the rubber, not so much. But if it's riding it, it pushes it just enough to relax. The feed out of the pop bumpers. Yeah. How it just feeds right down the center drain. He put a fatter rubber on there so it has something to bounce off. I was struggling with the right bumper here at the bottom. Tradition said that they said no tax and no delivery costs.
    46:09
    It is being sent to their location in Illinois, and you can pick up. That could be. Although, Gavin does know the programmer of the game pretty well, so there's a good chance. I don't know.
    46:28
    Gavin will have one on location. All right, let's get back to the game here. Richie has jam lit, and he just needs to hit the right ramp.
    46:41
    He half ramps it and catches it. Nice. You make chrome nails and you get the rug, and the rug is very smooth.
    46:51
    Would I put that in the location? Oh. I hate for somebody to piss on my rug. What ball is that, Richie? All right, so that multi-ball is waiting for you. Don't sweat it. It's a fucking rug.
    47:06
    It's made out of sponge. I was going to ask him about it. I figured they bought it just somebody made them. So what are you doing here, Nick? What's going on? These scores are pretty rad. Thanks, man.
    47:18
    You're playing Thunderstruck. You have jam multi-ball lit. So you're obviously going to spend all of your attention getting it up the right ramp. That is true. All right. Good luck, brother. Thanks for the tips.
    47:32
    Here we go. All the tips for you. Every tip in this room. Just need a clean one. And just a little tip. Richie has lots of big tips for us. All right, nice catch. Nice live catch.
    47:52
    Oh, that's a U-target. But that did light up his mode. Nice shoving. There's a bit of salt shaking right there. Yeah, no kidding.
    48:04
    We got that salt shaking. You guys are crushing it. Oh, that. Brad 200. Is that Brad Smith, U.S.? Is it?
    48:19
    Brad, is that you, or are you another Brad? Obviously you're Brad, but. The Brad we're looking for. That can't be Stark. He'd be Dr. Starkweather or something.
    48:30
    The Starkinator. Has Brad showed up for one of these? Um, yeah, but not officially. He doesn't have, like, a nameplate or anything.
    48:43
    Everyone has one here. Oh, it is Brad Smith. Yeah, you have one, he has one. I've made one for everyone that's played so far, except for Brad Stark.
    48:59
    He'll get one. I've just got to find a sexy photo of him and cop him out. turtle. Hooligans! Hey, no blowing up the chat with that nonsense. I'll ban you right now. There's a button right next to your name. I'll ban every hooligan in that chat. Yeah, but the hooligans in the team can't exist. There's that team next to you.
    49:27
    Oh, womp womp. Spider, is there some real, uh, some actual problem with this pilot? It's an over, can't have more than two over 500 people in Diatia Rankin's space. I know there's one under 150, right?
    49:42
    Oh, really? I think so. Oh. Well, you can still build a team of Raiders on it. Everybody out of the pool. Everybody out. Throw them up, folks. Let's get that.
    49:52
    What is it? Exclamation E-O. Oh, you know what? Nightbot's not in the chat. He's not going to let you do it. Stupid. Nightbot didn't join. Thanks, Nightbot. You just ruined it for everybody.
    50:07
    These poor losers. All right, Bob. All right, Richie. Rape for the multiball, man. Stick with something that you're going to end up hitting a lot. Well, if I'm going to multiball, do I want to go to TM2? Yeah, probably. That's okay.
    50:25
    Makes sense. Thunderstruck also makes a lot of sense for multiball, too, though. He never picked TNT. He says.
    50:37
    You can't have more than two people over 500, and you can only have one person under one. Actually, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I heard their alternate was also Zach Sharp. No, that was our alternate. Oh, your alternate. Yeah. Okay. And no, we never called them. We just wanted to – that would have been something.
    51:05
    Oh, baby. All right, folks. Andy and Gavin are battling each other. Andy has yet to lose. Gavin has one strike against him.
    51:20
    Pod, welcome back. Simuldranius event. That's everybody out of the pool, right? Everybody out of the pool. is our preference, pinball maniac. But use the terminology you feel comfortable with. I just learned how to ban people, though. So, you know, say whatever you want. How do you ban people? Do you just say, like, Bob is bad, and then it does it? Bob is bad. Or do you have to, like, go click on it? You see those two buttons next to everyone's name? One is to time someone out, like temporarily ban them for 700 seconds. The other one's just to say, get the frick out. Really? Yeah. Cool. Did you ban iPod? No. I did. Oh, I banned him. I got to unban iPod.
    52:08
    You timed him out. Oh, man. The camera. It's like a... The instant replay? Papa TV said they worked on and have a functioning replay now that they can do. What are you talking about? For Papa's live stuff. They figured out how to get a replay. But that requires a dedicated person on the machine. I don't know how many of you are going to get a moderator here. Do you want to type it? Oh, yeah.
    52:36
    That would be too. That's what this is. It's all picture in picture. You could have a little camera.
    52:47
    Yeah. Oh, sorry. Sorry. What? What happened? You're going down. What do you mean? Wait, why don't I have a beer? I just got a pep talk. From who? You know who.
    53:06
    From Pep? Pep contacted me in the fridge. You better not have chatted with Dave Kidd, because I'll have a problem. the ultimate pep the god of pinball pep himself the old man who lives I guess somewhere in Pittsburgh white hair I think of who do I think of when I think of pep what does pep look like Doc Brown exactly who's building bombs out of pinball parks Yep.
    53:46
    All right. He's not a pinball. He is who you want to pray to in pinball terms. Yep. Oh, Pep. Hey, Pep. Save me, Pep. And he gets his skill shot, which gives him a VIP.
    53:58
    And he goes right for the ramps. He's still got a combo off of that. All right. There's another loop.
    54:13
    Can't hate that. the Thai Star Tour multiple. Ooh, Thunder Star Tour ramp. Hell yeah, that was beautiful.
    54:26
    Right there You got it now Andy's yelling at the game. It's so good. Yep. Well done. Thunder!
    54:45
    Why, he hit a ball? You fucking piece of garbage. Oh, yeah, baby. Keep hitting stuff. I'm sorry? Dr. Huge Asshole, thanks for following.
    55:09
    You made me read that, and I wasn't sure what it was until I finished. Yeah, don't do that. Dr. Huge Asshole. Don't put anything on the screen. You're right, whatever. I'll say it. Dr. Hugh J. I don't think.
    55:23
    You may want to think about tapering your screen, Dave. Dr. Hugh J. I don't think. Do you know what that spells? Do you know what your name says? You do say your name really fast, man. It's kind of crazy. Like Dr. Spaceman.
    55:50
    Spaceman? Spacheman? So, keep going for ramps, bud. Because you are lighting up all your shots right now. Man, you are. Don't get me. Anything that has a blue arrow in front of it gives you money.
    56:09
    Solid shove. All right, get the right ramp. You have another multiball there. Nice. Good. Oh, boy. No, you got your double bonus, though. Double bonus. Yeah. Thanks a lot.
    56:31
    You just got a five million bonus on that. Oh, nice. Yeah. All right. Give me a little of that. I'm a doctor of drains. I think we're all studying drainology here at the Palace of Pinball.
    56:51
    What, that wasn't funny? Professor Doink. Doinkology. Doink. Wait. I'm trying to mix with something pinball stuff. Try, uh... I know it's inappropriate. I'll... Oh, my God. Sorry. Tilt it. Gavin has jam lit. He just has to hit the right ramp. He's going to wait a little while on that one. Yeah, he's going to let that live for just a bit because that is swinging in there. Yeah, that's rocking. I don't know if you can see it in this one.
    57:28
    We need a tilt can, man. Yes, we do. Let's go to the tilt can. Let's look at the tilt, Bob, and it's swinging.
    57:41
    There's your tilt. Did you collect your multiball? No. Good. How do I start a new mode? A new mode? So, okay. When you launch, you're going to be able to select a new mode. Do I have a multiball lined up? Yes, you have albums. So, when you launch this, it's going to go in the back there. You see how it says tunes and stuff? Yeah. That means you have a new mode you can select. But it's on a timer, so you have to select really quick what you want.
    58:12
    I'm going to get album multiball. Right ramp. Every multiball is right ramp. What's that go for? Whatever he feels good. Can I do the same one again? You have two seconds left.
    58:27
    Yeah, you can do whatever you want. You can keep it. You can change it. Just don't think it's getting any closer to encore jackpot. Right. you will not be seeing any encores ever at all we've had this game for two years we don't even know what that looks like we set this game up to five shots to get to the next column and we still couldn't get it right now I think it's six or eight shots to get to the next column Dan if you're still watching can you post that link again brother I appreciate it yeah There's the multi-ball Reaction multi-ball I've been drinking this Is this yours here?
    59:20
    No What's going on? What are you looking for? Oh, to tap you and face it? Here, I'll take care of it.
    60:02
    That link there is the standings for the little tournament we're doing so far, folks. Thanks again for coming. We do this every single day, Monday through Friday at 5 p.m. Central.
    60:18
    And this entire week we're going to be playing ACDC. And he gets his 11 million. God! No, dude. That was a baller ball. Ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, ball. Baller ball. All right, Gavin's got a little bit of a hill to climb here, but he can do it. His multi... His jam multiball's still lit.
    60:41
    He's got a jam ready? Yep. Yeah, good luck. He's going for the super. Right in the ass, kid. Oh, my God.
    60:52
    Andy Alsweire. So that was a very unfortunate super skill shot to the right out lane. Jack Danger versus Nick Campbell.
    61:12
    Yeah, flip it. Hands. Tails. Oh, frick. All right, so good luck, Nick Campbell. No, you don't. You're out? Rissy, you're out?
    61:32
    You guys can play Metallica or something while you're waiting. Here we go. I also have one X, so if I lose, I am out. And if Dad loses, he has one X.
    61:44
    We're playing double elimination here, folks. Double elimination. Hey, Richard, can I bug you to do a little something for me? Sure, why not?
    62:00
    Thank you, buddy. Happy tubes. Oh, I screwed up. I blew it. Thanks, Steve Ritchie. Alarm Thunder. I freaked up. What do you think his character is? Do you think he's playing the devil? He's definitely the DevWall. I thought it was Badass. Badass? He's definitely you. Oh, from Elvira. Yeah. Scared to death. Oh, frick. Oh, you're going to put an Elvira?
    62:38
    Hell yeah. Yeah. First ball straight to Jim, folks. Got me ringing. Oh, I hit that bell. All right, let's get some control here, folks.
    63:06
    By control, I mean let's... Am I going to get that back? Okay. Got nervous. Got nervous, folks. I got Lyman Grace period on me?
    63:24
    We let people vote for it. Uh-oh. Roger Batman? We can even give you shout-outs the entire time we're streaming on it.
    63:58
    Move a Batman in here. I think that sounds great. A dark knight? I can deal with that. You remember he gave us a stack of quarters?
    64:23
    Yeah, just fold a piece of paper, stick it in the coin slot. He owe me $4,200. Wooden nickels.
    64:45
    Yeah, I mean, I'm always happy to get a new pen in here. Yep, that's what he did with Tron. I collected your mom's phone number.
    65:04
    Wait, hold on. That came out wrong. I collected my mom's phone number. You're in the Navy, folks. Wait, Mom, I hope you're not watching.
    65:23
    Oh, well, we got an album lit up. That felt pretty good. Did someone say payment plan? My man, welcome back. I had about $10.25 when I got to Blind Robin, only 25 cents when I left.
    65:37
    Yeah, we spent a lot of money. Gavin is currently bringing upstairs, right now, a Dark Knight Batman pinball machine.
    65:48
    And I think we might forego the voting to focus on that next week. because Gavin is hooking it up for a little bit. How many games does Gavin own? Too many.
    66:01
    We'll ask him when he comes back up here. He's going to one-man the whole machine up here by himself.
    66:07
    He's got everything. He's got, like, tilters and motors and crap on it. So I put up $45 million on ball one. Nick's got a little bit of a hill to climb. I'm still just, like, sitting here waiting for the score to go down. That would be a cool thing to do where it was subtracted. Every point he made, subtracted from you. Like you start off with a point and you just fight for it? And then he subtracts them down to zero again.
    66:40
    And then if you take the, so like you might win with like 112 points. Program that she is. Nick goes for the bell and he hits it. Nick using the Josh Henderson approach of slapping the game a bunch of times.
    67:00
    Danger, danger. He's full beef right now. Full beef Spangberg. If you folks know Leaf Spangberg, tell him to watch our stream. We give him a shout out all the time when we mess up.
    67:13
    Leaf Spangberg? I played him in... Papa. Pimberg. Okay. He's a pinball player. But we adopted his name as code for when, if you're playing and we're not allowed to talk to you, we can yell out, Beef! And that means one danger. And Beef Spangberg means two dangers if you're in the zone playing. Is that a thing? You're not allowed to coach. Yeah. Oh, I guess we just gave it away.
    67:46
    Hey, good ball. Guacamole! Spicy guacamole. Oh, two dangers. Okay. Mom and dad.
    68:03
    Why is this kid yelling for pizza? I'm hungry. I'm really hungry. I'm really, really hungry. Be careful. Where's the pizza fan?
    68:17
    Was the pizza fan here earlier? I thought Pizza Fan was here. Oh, yeah. I think he just shows up for a moment.
    68:36
    Pizza. I mean, that's how you develop a brand. Oh, I just jacked injured every ball. Well, there goes the multi-ball. I was busy thinking about pizza and not playing pinball. Everybody, make him hungry.
    69:00
    Good. Good to win. All right. Leave the little window open. Hello. This is awesome. Tell me how to pronounce that so I don't sound like an idiot. Tentspeng. Thanks for coming. I'm a ding-dong.
    69:20
    Tense Spence. I'm really bad at reading names, I gotta say. Even though it says it on your hand. Tense Spence. Oh, yeah, let's read.
    69:30
    It doesn't say names right. Yo, yo, who dat? Yo, these are hot Tinder babes. Wait, that girl two girls ago? I knew that girl. She's from... No, I'm not on Tinder.
    69:44
    I've been on his Tinder. He's met some wisdom. We're looking at Andy Alguire's Tinder right now. Hold on, let me fire up. Can you give Nick a little something? I don't want to keep leaning over you. Thanks, buddy.
    70:02
    Are there recent likes or something? Oh, hey, girl. Yeah, she's cute. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah, man. Andy's got a hot date, folks. Wish him luck.
    70:20
    I hate six pinball machines. I have six pinball machines in stream on the PlayStation 4. That's awesome, man. What machines do you have? We have about nine in the studio right now, and we currently, as of right this minute, have a Dark Knight being loaded into the studio.
    70:38
    You want to play that game for real? Without paying like $7.50? Oh, I see. I see how it is. Well, you're going to... I'll be here next week a couple nights.
    70:50
    So Nick got angry and tilted. But he does have album multiball waiting for him when he gets back. Folks, I'm going to give this a second to calm down. Calm the tag.
    71:06
    They're really... It's all just respect. Whatever you want to... This is why we need a tilt-bop, yeah. Mm-hmm.
    71:13
    Here's what's happening right now, folks. Can you see this? Oh, it'll shake? Like, are you throwing up? Yes, that means the game's still shaking.
    71:33
    Yeah, 10. Stark Knight's being put on loan to us by one of the guys we're currently playing in the tournament at this moment. He just ran downstairs to bring it up.
    71:42
    Oh, he's out. That's right. All right, so I'm going to get back to it. I'm a big jam player, so the second I get control of the ball, I'm just going to start backhanding the crap out of the ranch until jam's late, and then kill it.
    72:12
    Now I'm going to use the cannon to hit the bell for a free bell shot. And there's my two-way. And now I'm just going to want to hit some ramps. I can't get a holding ball. There we go.
    72:42
    All right. We want to make a few more shots so that we don't waste our bath. Oh, well. That multiball is trash.
    73:06
    What games does he have? Star Trek Next Gen. Star Trek Twilight Zone Attack from Mars and Roadshow. Yeah, where the hell are you?
    73:19
    And look who's bragging now. Yeah, Tense, are you in Illinois? Because we're coming over right now. You really don't have any say. I think Twitch gives me your contact information.
    73:40
    Oh, I was on a roll. Thank you for not speaking, because I knew you were about to. Star Trek The Next Generation, best machine ever. No soup for you. That is a really radical machine, I have to say.
    74:12
    Star Trek The Next Generation? That one's got the weird bumpers on it that drain all the time. It's got the cannon? The double cannon. Yeah. Double can one? That one's never done it for me.
    74:23
    You're in California? Well, blow up an air mattress, brother. Now, should I stick with Thunderstruck? If I wasn't playing against you, I would tell you to go Hell's Bells. But since I am playing against you, I'd say you want to... I think you want Helly in a bad place to be. Well, no, God. It's going to ask me to change my song. I'm thinking Hell's Bells, too, because I have some VIP passes. You have a couple. Looks like you said three. I have one. I hope I get one. That's going to help me get to 2X, but I want to see how far away from 2X I am as well. I think I had it late, so I'm going to... Two bell hits, barf.
    75:11
    But all that is is getting it up there. You'll get a VIP up there. Spend those. You have 2x running.
    75:20
    Pardon me for the coughing there, folks. I want to start streaming on Twitch, not crappy Ustream. 10th Spence, if you want to see what we're using for streaming, it's in our profile down below. As far as software is concerned, I didn't put all that stuff up there yet, but I'm going to write a big blog post about it so that everyone can set the exact same stream up.
    75:49
    A MacBook Pro should be all that you need, depending on how old it is. Not enough VHBs. Ouch. Well, that means Nick Campbell is out of the running.
    76:31
    Jack Danger remains undefeated. Can we play a different machine? You guys have to do two games. Start match and then end it. Oh, start match. Yep.
    76:44
    Jack wins! Thanks, man. So, yo, you haven't lost and I haven't lost. So, we're going to have to play this game a couple times.
    76:57
    I'm going to go see if Gavin needs some muscles. Yeah, just knock on that door. Just knock on the door. And we should probably also move Sim Swans into the next room. Yeah. Do you want me to help? Yeah, let's move. Yeah, let's at least make it a swan. All right, folks, we're going to get this last game going here. That cord is keeping everything in check so that it wasn't plugged in anywhere near the light.
    77:26
    You know what I'm saying? So what I'm saying is don't unplug it. Sure. I just didn't want that light plugged into the same thing that the computer was plugged in.
    77:43
    Yes. I don't know. I love you. just, you're great. Okay, here we go. Andy, you ready? Let's flip for this shit. Call it in the air. Ready? What the hell is that? All right. Okay, my man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
    78:09
    All right, good luck, buddy. So we're both undefeated. We're going to have to play a couple games to see who wins this. Start the match. Start your. You're throwing stuff. Yeah, mother.
    78:40
    Hell's bells. All right, here we go. Really like Andy's idea of pinball tug of war. One player adds score and the other one takes it away. Yeah. Yeah, that is pretty rad.
    78:54
    Fort Collins, Colorado. Thanks for coming. Hey, Christopher. What about that Critsophora guy? Critsophora.
    79:06
    Welcome to the stream. Oh, jeez. So I'm just going to backhand this ramp until Dan starts and get the multiball. after I take care of this bell hit here.
    79:32
    Oh, you think Gavin just left? He's like, yeah, I'm going to give you my freaking Dark Knight. Andy, can you hold that door open further?
    79:48
    All the way out next to Drac. Keep going. All right, calm down a lot, Nick. Sorry. Yep, a little more, a little more, a little more. Down, down. Go. All right, you're good. You're clear.
    80:03
    We're just moving. We're just moving pins around, folks. No big deal. That's hilarious looking. Oh gosh.
    80:32
    Free bell hit. All right. I think we're... There we go. Jam's lit. And I missed it. I missed it twice.
    80:48
    Let's try backhanding it, shall we? All right. And get my hands on the ball. Geez Louise, I can't catch this damn thing.
    81:10
    Give me... Thank you. Wow, Gavin didn't leave and lie to us. He's actually bringing it up here. Pasta? Oh. Holdin it hostage Alright folks I got 2x running which means I have 2x playfield Just want to start hitting everything that lit Oh I got ripped off on that bell hit. Another half ramp. I accidentally used the VIP pass, so it gave me my add-a-ball.
    82:15
    Load the cannon, he says. All right, we've got a 12-mil jackpot here. Beautiful. And I drain the ball, cradling the other.
    82:45
    On the Pro, you can hit them as fast as you want. On the Premium, the bell has to stop swinging in order to register.
    82:59
    It's cool that the Premium has a physical bell, but if it's swinging around, you have to wait for it to calm down before it registers again. it's there's like a like an opto that the bell's swinging in front of and unless it registers that it has slowed down hitting it again doesn't do anything oh I love that smell of sawdust coming through oh Icon Modern big props to Icon Modern
    83:36
    So I got album lit from hitting banks of targets. Just like every multi-ball, you want to hit the right ramp to get it started.
    83:48
    Or miss and then shit the bed. What's that? Jam album tour. So jam you light by hitting the ramps a lot. Album you hit by completing banks of targets. Tour you get by hitting the orbits enough times. I've got some room in my apartment for another game. Gavin, is it more than welcome to score an extra Metallica or ECDC? I'll let him know.
    84:23
    Yeah, that was a really shitty bounce. But I got that multi-ball lit up. You've got a whole lot of rowing.
    84:32
    A whole lot of rowing. There you go. Keep it alive. Hitting Thunderstruck targets like it's his job.
    84:45
    I generally go for the bell at the beginning because your jackpot's not worth a lot. Unless you really want that one or two million that the lightning bolt is going to give you.
    85:01
    Stop drinking my beer. All right, so I get a chance to change my song, but because Hell's Bells pays off so well, I'm going to stick with it.
    85:16
    Get my DMP pass. Extra balls lit, but since we have extra balls turned off, that just means it's worth 2.5 million points.
    85:24
    I have jam and album lit. Double multiball. Everything is yours. Yes, sir. Oh, that didn't go up there, huh? No.
    85:54
    Wow, that was a terrible, terrible double multiball. 2x bonus, please. Just kidding. All right, Andy, you're up. All right, I've got a little work to do. Any suggestions on modes to start things out?
    86:19
    Double multiball equals more jackpot targets hit. Yes. As far as modes starting out, if you're done,
    86:28
    as far as modes starting out, it really depends on, I guess, how good you are at hitting targets. because if you're a beginner, I always recommend Shook Me All Night Long, which is the pop bumpers, or Thunderstruck, which are the little targets in front of the ramps that you'll always hit regardless.
    86:47
    Pardon me, brother. We'll just drain that. All right, folks. We have another battle since we were both undefeated.
    87:03
    You want first or second? Kill it, buddy. Shake it off. Good call on the ramp post. Yeah, see, the thing is, the Thunderstruck targets are exceptionally good when you have a multi-ball because the balls are just flying everywhere and you're going to hit them regardless. And the points pay off really well on that mode. You never want to shoot for those on purpose, though, but you will accidentally hit them when you're shooting for ramps. Oh, this beer is terrible. Is that Pesky? No, this is Venus, the bringer of peace.
    87:46
    Apricot? Oh, yeah, it's pretty. Pretty gnarly. Brought to you by the... Brought to you by the shitty beer no one should be drinking.
    88:15
    Oh. That's... Holy guacamole, baby. Holy guacamole, lady. Double dick danger. Oh, so I screwed that up.
    88:43
    Oops. We got a worm burner, folks. You out of here, Richie? All right, brother. Thanks for stopping by. Do you have a lot of people in the mouth?
    88:53
    We're keeping it where it's at. Oh, don't leave them hanging. You left me hanging. But the rest of the week, you're more than welcome to swing by. Thanks, buddy.
    89:06
    That bell shot, though. Sexy war machine shot. A second one. Keeping it clean. Ooh, there you go. Oh, don't walk away. Don't walk. Don't walk away.
    89:34
    Where's it going? Jackpot or bell? Ding dong. You fucking cunt. This language brought to you by that shitty beard.
    89:52
    Jack D. Well. Look at. I don't think it's that big. 2.6. And he is winning. Dark Knight just rolled in the door, folks.
    90:14
    Mr. Batman is here. Bruce Batman. Oh, that's a tilt. That's a tilt. I have no idea. Dirt floor? Oh, yeah.
    90:33
    Oh, well. Oh, no, that's all right. Thanks, man. Jerk Burtman. Thank you. Aw, you got ripped off on that bell. You moved it enough. All right, I got to beat this seven.
    91:17
    Hey, Andy, you had a good handle on it. Give me the money, you motherfucking, fucking motherfucker. You're portable, I got to say.
    91:26
    It goes in the lock and then turn it just a touch so it locks in. There you go. Thanks, bud. All right, let's try to make some money here, folks.
    91:51
    That ain't going to be it. I think you won. All right, we've got to play one more. Oh! God, no. Alright, man. This is it.
    92:10
    Down to it. What you down now? Upper shot. Oh, the question mark? Still not a thing. Chris says, Nice work, Andy.
    92:26
    prototype. Oh, ding dong. You somehow nailed that shit twice. It'll come out. Thunder.
    92:45
    Sexy ramp shot. Back to the cannon. If he hits the bell again, you'll have 2x rolling. Oh, yeah, that's what's keeping us live right now.
    93:12
    Your pinball what? Oh, this is what you were using for that? Sorry, dude, it's the pinball stream school now.
    93:26
    Hellsies, bellsies. Is that an Escalara that Gavin has? What's an Escalara? Is that an Escalara? No, it is not an Escalara.
    93:40
    It's just... Wait, what? It's all manual. Oh, it's a manual, but it's... That thing's beepy. Escalara.
    93:54
    Escalara. Oh, hell yeah. I haven't... Yo, I just made it to the lower playfield for Hell's Bells. This never happens, folks.
    94:53
    Hell's bells. Oh, man. That's a save, though. Oh, that was a shitty shot. There we go. Jam's lit. And jam is collected. Shoot the bell again.
    95:33
    So we have one more hit until 2x. Oh, that would have been nice to make, and I didn't make it. We're hitting nothing at all. That's what's going on.
    95:54
    So now we have 2x rolling. Coming down. Oh, hit it just in time. Like, microseconds left. Oh, get up there.
    96:26
    Of what? Rubbers? Where did they go? You were throwing them around, remember? Refer to episode one of Dayflip Daily Battle with ACDC? We were juggling them.
    96:56
    Man, they come in here and just tear the place apart. A couple more target banks and we'll have album multiball. Just like that. What are we looking at here?
    97:27
    Do you have to shoot the shot under the bell? Yeah, it's nuts. Thanks for the VIP. Dan just got here. How long have you guys been streaming for? We started by every single day, so about an hour and a half. One of our guests here actually just brought up a Dark Knight Batman pinball machine that we are probably going to be streaming on next week.
    97:51
    Thanks, brother. No, they should be in the bag, my man. I saw them. They should be in the bag. Right? Yeah, they're right here.
    98:15
    We're missing rubber feet. We will get it for them. We're on webcast. Oh, guys, they're all right here.
    98:24
    That's three. Oh, you saw an extra one, eh? I think they are. You're welcome, champ. That's Andy Aldwire, folks.
    98:45
    I could have been a contender. Like a thousand. I don't play enough tournaments. Sticking with the Hells Bells, folks.
    99:12
    Terrible click in any of that, brother. Yeah. Have you seen that? It's so good, dude. I'll throw it up in a second.
    99:28
    Ladies. It's ridiculous. No, dickfist. All right. Live, ding-dong. No love. That was close. They call me Jet Top. Yo, that's salt.
    100:06
    Oh, man. Slap save. Got them both. Loser. Oh, man. So this is the final game, actually. It is tied up. You can probably switch that over.
    100:41
    We'll watch the DMV. In case you blow it up. I don't know. Oh. You gift us a game and now we have to clean it? Yeah. All right, that's fine. I think that's fair. What? We have to clean the play field on that thing.
    101:15
    It's a little southy. Oh, dude, beautiful wipe down. Nice save. Good fight, dude. Good game. Well, folks. One away from the win.
    101:43
    Jack Danger wins. Not by much. Not by much, that is for sure. We'll play this ball out just to see if we can blow up the machine real quick.
    102:01
    So tomorrow, we have Katrina Zimmerman, a fellow animator who is not ranked with the IFPA, coming in tomorrow to learn how to play ACDC. and also quasi confirmed I'm still trying to verify with him but Jason Werdrick who is 20th in the world right now should be here tomorrow to completely wipe the floor with us yeah with his eyes closed and both hands tied behind his back he is an incredible player that is for sure
    102:42
    So it's Cooper Panda. Playfields get dirty because the electromagnetism mechanisms in here, like the solenoids and stuff, it's all like electrical dust.
    103:02
    And rubber. Iron oxide. Metal on metal wear. Are you... Dust in the air... Your dirty-ass skin produces the dust.
    103:21
    Were you reading that off... Double, double. I'll take it. You freaking... Oh, my man! That was a sexy ball save.
    103:42
    Okay, we want to get a ball up that ramp. Nope, it wasn't ready. Okay. Start. Ball, beautiful. So we need to spell fire lane.
    104:19
    There we go. This is amazing for spelling fire. I'll live to you, son of a bitch. Oh, thanks, Steve. What a champ.
    104:48
    Looks like I just barely made it. Yeah. Just blow it up. I'm surprised you haven't turned it to 10-letter name. How do we do that? Yes. The program said it. Jeez. We should. Well, you know what? What we'd like to do here is put our personal initials on the games because we do the group outside.
    105:12
    Utilities. Nice bonus. Thank you, Blue Continental. So these guys are setting up the... Here, I'll make this whole screen real quick.
    105:28
    Dissolve. Let's see if we can capitulate this over here. Oh, baby. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the Dark Knight being installed currently.
    105:46
    Nick is waxing the playfield. Gavin is fiddling the buttons. Fiddle it. So what novice do you use for the playfield? I usually use number five. Number five for the playfield? No. Can you grab this? Oh, wait. Isn't that sandpaper?
    106:07
    Yeah. He uses a number two on it. Number one for the play field, though. Right? No, number two for the play field. One that does good job for the really fun. Two for the play field. Fine scratch remover. If you want two on there, you let me know, and I'll do it. There's two. All right. That is tube. All right. Do I do one at the end of tube? Batman, Blue Continental, yeah, get over here and blow it up. We're going to be playing that all next week. We're just pulling the trigger on that.
    106:46
    Folks, I want to say thanks again for coming. We're going to call it tonight. Tomorrow, same thing. We've got some great guests. It's going to be more ACDC exploding. You're going to see some absolutely ridiculous scores if Jason Wardrick shows up. He probably won't explain a lot of what he's doing, but he will light this machine on fire.
    107:07
    Absolutely. Everyone knows you've got to clean the sandpaper. Are the strobes adjustable so that they aren't such a pain in the eyeballs to play? Oh, no. You mean the strobes right above the slingshot? Yeah, the strobes are on purpose. No, he made those blinding because he can make those blinding. Because he hates us. He hates everyone. Totally.
    107:33
    Yes, tradition. Jason Werger did just win a Walking Dead LE, and he doesn't really have anywhere to put it, so we might sweet-talk him while he's here.
    107:42
    I think we can fit it. We could fit it. Yeah. No, he didn't win it at Expo. He won it at a tournament before Expo. We could make room for one more pin in here. One, uh... No, you don't want to walk into that here. No? No. Oh, because Gavin won't make any money.
    107:59
    All right, guys. Thanks again. Seriously, this was great. If you folks feel like it, down below, there's a blue link for Extra Life. It's a children's organization for helping out sick kids. Donate some money. That would be awesome. Turn it this Sunday at 1 p.m. Yes, we're also having a Pops tournament this Sunday. It's the Pinball Outreach Project, another charity. It's 1 p.m. at Emporium Wicker Park. 20 bucks. It's IFPA points also, correct? Yes. You get Whopper points for playing in there. So if you're not world-ranked playing in this and doing absolutely the worst, you'll still be a world-ranked pinball player. So come on by. It'll be great. All right, folks. Thanks for everything. I'll see you around. Bye.
    108:43
    Bye, everybody. So long. Farewell. I'll be the second.
