My name is Orbital Albert and on today's episode I'm excited to talk about all things expo All of these are part of the Pinball Expo, including, that's right, what would a Pinball Expo be without Orby himself hiring a pin turn? So I hired a pin turn. My pin turn is there, but who are they? Have you met them? Have they been doing their job? Do they have any missions? We're going to talk about that later. We're also going to talk about Flippin' the Script, which recently just wrapped up yesterday at Expo. We're also going to talk about the Flip N Out Tournament, or the Flip Out Tournament, I believe, not to be confused with Flip N Out Pinball, of course. But we're also going to be talking about the James Bond livestream. The dead flip James Bond livestream was just a couple days ago, and I have some thoughts about that, too. But first and foremost, I've got to thank my past guest on episode 503, Mr. David Dennis. Thank you so much, David. Or as I like to call you, Dave. I don't know why, I just, there's something about it. You know, formally he's David Dennis, but in person, that's my buddy Dave, you know what I mean? Now, I will say this, I did challenge Dave to playing in the next Fundy Flippers, and I had to miss it. But I'll talk about that in a second. Most importantly, I want to thank so many of you who listened to that episode. Your official podcast is currently on Amazon or the Amazon Store. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them in the chat box or on my blog, or you can email us at info824resports.com. I'll answer them at info824resports.com. I really appreciate that you guys weren't too hard on me about the audio qualities. My voice was a little bit louder than Dave's. I do direct recording here just through my snowball mic. I didn't come from the radio business. I'm not that great with technological stuff like that. I'm working on it. I want the interviews to be better and remember for the first 350 episodes of my show or I'm going to be honest with you, I never did an on the phone interview. I think I'm actually pretty good in person because I've done about, well, I don't know, I'm guessing around 100 interviews in person. I'm pretty good in person about, you know, knowing how loud each person's voice is and how far away to keep my mic. And normally in person I just record with my cell phone to be honest so that quality How many people are online? Ann Woman Patridactyl Damon Ste crianI I'm going to be in the room, you're hearing what I'm hearing and of course coming through my microphone is not going to be as... coming through, you know, the crappy laptop speaker then going into my blue snowball then going into Audacity is just not going to sound as good and I'm just... I'm not Christopher Franchi. I can't go in there and clean up the audio, you know, unfortunately, but I think that the meat and the potatoes, the meat and the potatoes was good of the interview, you know what I mean? I think the steak was well marinated. I had some good questions for him. We were probably a little bit easy on Bond. He's a huge Bond fan. I don't really like to give out impressions until I see the live stream, which you're going to hear all about that in a second. But I just wanted to thank you everybody. I will say this about 15 minutes into the interview I noticed that my sounds were peaking a lot more than his and I do actually move the microphone down a little as well as I increase the the volume coming into the mic so that overall so I think 15 minutes and you can hear it's even better but I am going to continue to work on and if you're someone who has extra time and you happen to be good with really good audio and you'd like to be My editor, geez I just hired a pin turn, is there even money left in the bank to hire an audio guy? I don't know. I don't know how we would do it now that we're I'm actually you know getting a little bit of money coming in here from the best part of waking up is Orbeez coffee in your cup. Now that we're actually bringing in a little bit of moolah from doing some advertisements on the show which I did I did I've got 490 of my own shows plus at least another dozen of other people's shows for free without advertising for anything. So you got 500 or more free shows from me. That's pretty good. I think that's, you can all admit, if you want to go back and listen to advertisement-free Orbi, go ahead. Those podcasts are there. If not, stay right here. Keep the tune dialed to the Poor Man's Pinball Network because wow, we have some exciting content coming for you. To all of those of you who, for some reason or another, don't listen to Tribe Multiball, go back there and listen to the last Tribe Multiball. Rachel has some really exciting news about a new show I was really good to hear from. And, you know, I do get to talk to Tim fairly often in my group chat with him. Tim the Lion Man Lee and Glenn the Skateboarder Glenn Waechter, right? Did I say your name right? Your last name, I think I said it right. It was close. I'll just call you Glenn the Skateboarder. That's easy. Good old Glenn and Tim and I do have a chat going on, but it was just really nice to actually hear from Tim because I hadn't actually heard his voice in a couple months there. It had been a while, I was a little worried, I thought, aw jeez, hopefully, aw jeez, aw jeez, hopefully they're not shelving the old tri-multiball, but they are not. They are back. They didn't have a guest because they had so much catching up to do, but the next time I think you hear Rachel on the airwaves, she is going to be with a special guest host. And I don't want to take any of their thunder, so you're going to have to go back and listen to see just how rad that co-host she's got and what she's going to be doing on her new show coming here exclusively to the Poor Man's Pinball Network. Also, I have to do a quick, quick, quick apology to Mr. Drew Boserver. I speak in petit, petit, pur French, so I should be able to say it, but Mr. Poor Man Drew. I apologize on my last podcast I was like you got to go listen to Drew his last podcast was solo and he did a great job here's the thing he released another podcast surprisingly just a few days before Hurricane Fiona hit us and I had it in my podcast queue but I hadn't listened to it yet and it's with Mr. Mike Williams who co-hosts with him one of one of the poor men himself as well one of the tribe members and you should go over there and listen to that because that was good as well. I really do think Drew has found his stride as far as solo episodes go. And speaking of solo episodes with Drew, the day I was about to drop this, I had actually got the microphone out of Orbeez Arcade, I brought the microphone out here to the couch, I'm in the living room, okay, the family's gone off to go get, drop target Danielle's taken Hayden and Owen to go get their hair cut, and we got a big show tomorrow here in town that Danielle's organized called Oh My Gourd, and it's a really fun festival that We've set up to help raise money for the local community center which Hayden was working at all summer helping at the gym there set up so if for some reason you're listening and you are in any part of the east coast of Canada and you'd like to come out to a really fun event and have me serve you angry alpaca coffee hot chocolate or tea come tomorrow you know why because I know gas prices are I know gas ain't cheap all right I know gas is expensive I get it but if you come visit me the first 100 coffees teas Hot Chocolates. I give free high fives, free bear hugs, free smiles. A frick, if you come out there and you're a pinball nerd, I'll even record a podcast with you and that segment will make it on my next show. How about that? So it'd be really good to see at least a pinball nerd now. I'm not talking to you Doug Parsons down there in Halifax. I don't expect anyone, I think if someone did a three and a half hour drive to come just oh my gourd, they might be a little disappointed because it's just a very small local event. We've got about 20 vendors coming. Come check out, see the updates made in the community center. It used to be a curling rink. So, you know, we're going to have to have some security there, making sure that the ex-curlers don't get upset. No, I'm just kidding. There was some beef between the old curlers. And anyways, I've gone off topic, but let's get back into it here. I'm so excited. I got to sit down finally October 18th, and I had reached out to Jack Danger. I've been taking out now I'm over at the Poor Men's Pinball Network. I'm no longer just a blogger. I'm actually a podcaster, okay? I actually take my job slightly more serious. I mean we are the sloppiest pinball network out there So of course I'm not gonna take it that serious, but I take it slightly more serious So I did reach out to Jack Danger and I did message him and say hey buddy Like when's the live stream gonna be and I felt like such a dork because it was already announced that morning The day that I messaged him or I think the day before the morning before it already been I didn't announce that it was going to be October 18th, but I was trying to see, you know, I never reach out to people in pinball. I should do it more often. If you're sitting out there and you're like, why do I never hear from Orbit Albert or Bert or Al or Albie or however you know me, it's because I don't reach out to a lot of people. I should. I should do that more often. I probably send three to five texts per month. www.podcast.com All the pinball people on a weekly basis. Out here I have Fundy Flippers, but I don't have, unfortunately, what I had, the Monday Night Pinball where every single week I'm meeting up with the same 15-20 people. You really get to know them well and check in on them on a weekly basis. That being said, now that I've mentioned it, I am just going to apologize to everybody. Last Saturday was the Fundy Flippers I was supposed to play David Dennis and Fredericton at Dillon's Arcade. I had every intention of going and the day before we finally got insurance on Hayden's car and after we put the template in the back, my oldest son Hayden bought a 16 year old car, but yeah, it's his first car. He bought an old Honda Fit with his money he worked from working at the community center this summer and we finally got it insured for him, got the template, came home, put the template on and we had only driven the car like two blocks the day he bought it like a month and a half ago from like straight down the road from his I'm here with my best friend Carson Syos and we didn't realize how bad of condition the CV joint, the front right CV joint was in and driving from here up just to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs eight minutes away we heard like every time we were turning to the right it's a lot of bad clicking and I said Hayden as a driving instructor who's put half a million kilometers I think that's like 300,000 miles on two cars before I my 30th birthday I've heard a lot of CV joints close to I'm not upset with the people who bought the car from whatsoever. It's a 16 year old car, these things will go. And I think the car could make it 3-6 months here just doing little drives to town or back 15 minutes away. But I don't think that it would have been a prudent idea for us to try to drive Hayden's new car 3 and a half, what, 4 hours away and what, 700 kilometers round trip? I'm going to be doing a round trip up and down mountain hills with tons of curves all the way to Fredericton and chance him having the car break down and then I can't even imagine it'd probably be upwards of like 1500 bucks to get the car towed from Fredericton back to where we were and that's like half the cost of what he paid for the car right so I just didn't think it was a good idea and more importantly it's not my car it's Hayden's car and Hayden was like dad I really don't think we should now knowing that this Saturday was our last market of theroveloonils.tv They are a number of Heinz shoes are selling well today. I am very proud to announce that I am Mink1 which is the largest shoe Room of the Inc. And this summer there is little over 100 pieces yes to the Bureau, it was justury purchase and October they did not even know that the revenue felt this year just a little bit too much to be happy about. Yeah, it is. I mean y'all don't get tired of it. Let me tell you a little story. Some people will spend a half day doing nothing... Hmm Some might get confused and run off to the observatory We put like milk chocolate chips inside and then Danielle actually does the drizzle on top of them. Those ones sell really well. So with getting less and less customers every week, we had to find a way to increase our income and especially with stupid Hurricane Fiona biting into all of our extra money we had sitting on our credit card finally. And yeah, I don't even know where I was going with that, but I wasn't able to make it to Fundy Flippers last Saturday. I didn't want a chance wrecking Hayden's car, which he also uses for work. I didn't want a chance, not that I thought it would wreck it, but even if there's a 10% chance and it's his car and he's not comfortable, I just didn't want to put him in that position. I love pinball. I eat, sleep, breathe pinball, but I also don't want to allow my love for pinball to make the rest of my family's life worse. There's just no way Danielle could have used ... We use our Corolla, which is significantly bigger than a Honda Fit, and we can barely fit in our two tables, everything we need I'm just going to let you know that we have a new product coming out this weekend and I know it's a big deal. I'm sure you might want to get it. There's no way I was going to chance putting all that into this 16-year-old Honda Fit and A have the Honda Fit break down and then Hayden's without a car or B basically make Danielle not be able to make it to our last market of the year which we actually need the money from and also just we serve a good purpose. And I'm sorry, Tom, but I think I even called it Fundy O Flippers, which is Fundy Flippers, and they call it the O pin is the actual name of the tournament. So again, sorry, Tom. That's me and my lack of my brain being able to work very well. But that was at the end of a very long, very fun interview with David Dennis. So hey, if that's the biggest thing I got wrong, I think overall the interview came out great. If you haven't listened to that one, go back and listen to it. Because there was a couple hundred of you that listened to the Craig Bobby one. Craig Bobbi's very popular, I get it, okay, he does the dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, but that wasn't even like 10% as good as Craig Bobbi's. But there was a couple hundred of you who did listen to Craig Bobbi's who haven't yet listened to David Dennis's, and David Dennis, not only did he give us the exclusive that his next show was going to be George Gomez, go over to TPN. When you're done listening to all the episodes on the Poor Man's Pinball Network, I guess You can go over to the second sloppiest pinball network because, well, there's only two pinball networks as far as I know, but you can go over to, I give you permission to go over to the pinball network and listen to the new Silver Ball Chronicles with Ron Howlett and Dave Dennis, and they chat all about Mr. George Gomez. And honestly, I don't want to say they're all my favorite episodes, but there's, you know, the Python Anghelo one really sticks out to me. I'm going to be talking about the pinball industry and getting to hear about icons in the industry, especially ones that are still relevant today like George Gomez. So interesting. You think, oh, a pinball nerd like me that's done 500 episodes and has been into pinball now for, don't worry Dave Fix, I'm well over five years. I think I'm probably into about seven years of really getting back into pinball and playing tournaments about five years again. You know, I'm really into pinball and there's still tons of stuff about George Gomez I just didn't know about that I got by listening to that. So go listen to that episode. Now, let's talk about Bond on a Wand or lack thereof. Now, as far as the livestream goes, did Dead Flip do a great job? Mr. Jack Danger, you sure did. I apologize, my silly fan just came on there on my laptop so I had to unplug it for a second. But Jack Danger did a great job with the live stream and in fact I think that Deadflip did such a great job with the live stream and not just him, like not just the video and the audio quality and the setup of the gear and all that kind of stuff. That counts. Those are your table stakes. That counts. But what he did a really, really, really good job with was really just making sure that, well it wasn't just him, but it was more so George Gomez, Mike Vinikour, and I will say this, Mr. Dwight Sullivan, are you listening? I doubt you listen. But if you are listening, Dwight, go back and watch Mike Vinikour explain the rules in James Bond. But Bayer will achieve In the last five minutes I just hear wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah whatever the teacher and Charlie Brown, you know what I mean? That's all I have is I got five minutes for you. If you're talking about multipliers past that, my brain is just gone. I'm thinking about cheeseburgers, craft beer, or that fart I've been holding in the whole podcast. You know what I mean? Other than thinking about the best part of waking up, is Orbeez coffee in your cup. Sorry. Sorry. I remember back in good old marketing school, they said you got to mention something three times to have someone, you know, consider purchasing something. So there you go. There's your two of your three times for angry alpaca coffee. Alright. The Bond On The Wand. Such a cool feature, Mr. George Gomez. Why is it not coded in there? According to, like, from the best of memory, now maybe I was reloading the vape, or maybe I was grabbing myself a new beer. I like to have a couple beers for the livestreams, okay? Maybe I was busy talking to Drop Target Danielle, who knows? But the first time, and I wrote this down, it was 46 minutes into the livestream when we finally saw the Bond on the Wand move. I hope that the rocket ship is not supposed to be the primary feature in the game. I'm assuming the bond on the wand is. I don't think it's the little carvuck. I definitely, definitely, definitely hope it's not that auto shooting feature on the left with the aquatic, the underwater fight scene. I hope that's not supposed to be the primary feature. But if Bond on the Wand is the primary mech, if it's the main toy, if it's the big boy, then why don't we see it being used more often? I counted three times I saw that sucker be implemented into modes. Three times. I also would love to see... I would love to see somehow, and this is a coding thing, thank God, this is not a design thing, this is a coding thing, somehow code in so that the flippers can be used, so that the player or the action button, I don't care, well probably flippers make more sense, Make it so at least one of the modes, and I don't care if it's a mini wizard mode at the very end that you'd rarely use if you're worried about breaking the mech or something, but you have to make it so that in one of the modes, I don't care if it's coordinated with a video mode, I want to see that the bond on the wand is movable by the player. Okay? That's what I want to see. I don't want to see it just auto turns out and drops something and goes back. You know? Make it much more like something that a lot of us pinball nerds love who also go to arcades. You know you love the penny pushers or whatever they're called. You know you love the crane games. We're in arcades anyways. We've got a couple credits left. You're gonna go over there and play that crane game. Well, make it like you have all these options where you can make this bond on the wand go from, I'm not gonna say lame, because it is cool. He picks up the ball and he moves with the magnet. But I want to see the player at the very least use the action button to decide when you drop it. And if you drop it at the right time, it's worth significantly more than if you drop it one of the easier times to drop it, right? Maybe the wand moves faster at a certain point? I don't know. Maybe the mech can't do that. But I'm assuming they can put into the code somehow, some way to make the mech work. If you could make the mech go back and forth either in coordination, like, okay, have it going during a multiball. Like if one multiball starts with the ball attached to the bond on the wand, and then you have to figure out a way to either cradle up or get the ball into, you know, stall the ball, Get it into another mechanism, get it into the underwater underground feature, do something to interact with it because I do like, okay, everyone's complaining about the giant dildo to the left that vibrates, right? Okay, what kind of world do a whole bunch of men complain about something like this, first of all? Second of all, I get that it itself is not that cool because you don't really interact with it other than just getting to it, just getting to the dildo, right? You gotta break your way through that wall. What I do like about it is that the functionality of making drop targets important again. I've talked about this forever. Many of you guys know how much I love Metallica for the inline drops. Many of you have heard me talk about Future Spa and why I love that so much. Dolly's one of my favorite old EMs, of course, that has the inline drops. I love that TNA made drop targets important again by using the Danesi lock. Of course, that was brought back in Rick and Morty. I love all the... having a row of stand-up targets just in a row, it's yes way... or sorry, drop down targets is way better than having just, you know, the targets that you hit that stay there and are static. Of course, watching them drop down is better, but having the drop down targets in a long row to me is like, meh, it's fine. But George Gomez is always talking about how much, you know, drop targets cost. So if you're going to use them, at least have them in something fun, like in a fun feature, like, or the one... You know, in Space Shuttle, it blocks the ramp, right? So you want the drop target to be important again, and I think that James Bond has done a good job doing that. Let's talk a little bit about the artwork. I still think I like the Playfield artwork, but I don't necessarily love it. I still really like the left side of the cabinets, but I definitely... I mean, we didn't see that really in the live stream. I saw that a little more at Expo, so I guess I'll save my thoughts on that to when I'm talking about Expo in a minute. But I can say that as far as the code goes, you could tell the codes early, but the code already had like more, I won't call them animations, they were on the LCD screen, they were like shots from the movies and stuff. It already had enough of those going. The music itself, the dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, the thing that Craig Bobby does so well, that one song got very grinding. Even though, yes, some parts Gomez said, some parts get louder and some other parts get quieter, he did answer the question and thank you for addressing it. He did answer the question. There's more music coming. He said there's several, I think he named at least three if not four more Bond songs that are coming. So it won't just be that over and over. By the time that you could actually get your hot little hands on one of these bad boys, other than at the, you know, couple arcades they have it in Chicago And the couple arcades that are going to be getting it soon, like by the time you could actually get one in your home, which might be sooner the next April, George Gomez said he doesn't agree with that or know where people got that from, but whatever. By the time you could actually get these pinball machines, more than likely the code is going to be way, way, way more up to date, i.e. those stupid sounds will be gone, including the other thing, Hot Wheels, are you taking notes? Those are the many weird Оп ISY attacks that know Jlaughs, JamsMy Shears and Sh Stadt Jr. I love that. I love the idea that you as a sound nerd and sound is so important to me with pinball machines part of the reason why TNA is one of the greatest pinball machines out there. Another reason why like John Borg's favorite machine for me other than Metallica is definitely Tron and I just love the sound package in Tron. fondue, Subwoofer and the bass and it was just it was incredible and if you have a good sound package in a game if it's on location I don't mind that much but if you have a good sound package in a game it just makes such an incredible difference such an incredible difference to gameplay enjoyment and and and what I would call replayability okay that's what it is any sound package I can get away with playing five or six times but it's you know like when you're watching that James Bond live stream if you just watch an hour of it even Tips 290. Let the picture done. The sound in the spinner is incredible. I just got to play Beatles. By the way, East Coast Pinball Nerds, they do have a Beatles on location at Spin It Records in Moncton now. That spinner sounds incredible and it's so fun. I love the spinner mode. The spinner mode is probably my favorite mode of all the game modes in the Beatles. I managed to get like 1.3 million and then like 1.6 million on the Beatles and I think I got free games for both of them. Anyways, I had a great time, love the Beatles, totally underrated game still to this point. And of course that was Gomez's last game, right? So what else do I have here in my notes? Mike Vinikour, I thought this was ironically funny. He does of course rules implementation. He goes up to play his first ball on his new game after doing a great job explaining the rules. The ball comes out of the pops after the plunge and goes straight down the left out lane. Now, of course, the ball save is still on, so it comes out again and goes straight down the left orbit again, the left orbit, the left out lane. And Mike was just like, okay, and walked away. So I think that they need to use code to fix that because I know, I don't want to call it the Star Wars curse, but I know in Star Wars they had to change the code again because sometimes your auto launch would also just go up and hit those two things. ... Star Wars have gone like left out lane, auto plunge, left out lane, auto plunge, left out lane, and just either the code wasn't updated or maybe this is before the code update, I don't remember, and just like the ball was gone. And it's like what the hell? Like I just paid a loonie a whole buck to play this game and two of my three balls just went down. Of course I'm not gonna get anything done on ball three, right? But what else, what else, what else, what else? Let's see here. So Gomez also alluded to Elwin's Bond pin coming out to have the best real mech ever. Now I don't know what the heck that means, I have no clue what that means, but wow. I don't know what that means but I'm excited to see it. The strange part was Elwin was on Flip in the Script, which we're going to talk about I'll talk about it in a second. And he actually said there's no real mechs or toys on it to speak of, just lots of spinners, which I think is cool. Like I love retro games, you guys know how much I love TNA, you know how much I love the Beatles, you know how much I love EMs and solid states, so any type of throwback to that sort of thing, especially with Elwin coming up with the rules and the mechs for it, like are you kidding me? Are we going to basically see like an Elwin's best of version of a solid state? Holy crap. I'm not excited about the price. I am not excited about the price. Speaking of prices, I didn't have it in my notes here, but I do want to talk briefly about the Mando topper at $2,000 US. That's like three and a half grand Canadian or something. Holy cow. Too much money. That's what I'll say. The Mando, I can sum it up in two sentences. The Mando topper, I just watched the video with the hologram. It looks incredible. Do I think it's actually better than the white water topper that used to be my favorite? Thank you for watching. www.willywonka.com I'm such a big comic book nerd and I'm such a big Star Wars nerd on top of that, but I still couldn't, even if I won the lottery, I think I would be like crying to spend $2,000 on a topper because I could go out and buy two, three, four EMs in my arcade instead. And to each and every one of you out there, if you're going to go buy a Mando topper, you better own an EM or two at your house because there's no way that, as cool as that topper is to look at, there's no way that you can say And that's what we're going to be doing for this week. Next time on Oohgeeks. How could you even prove it's home use only from the 60s? It probably isn't. But you could probably find a very nice EM for a thousand. Hell, I got a very nice EM for like a Jungle Princess for 200 bucks, right? It was a couple years ago, but anyways, let's go back to, let's see here what I have here left. I did think there was way too much of that underwater fight scene, the thing, the auto scoop to the left or whatever it is, the hole where it goes down, and that was being used a lot and sometimes it would go straight down the middle. I don't know how they fixed that. I did also think for some reason or another, this seemed to happen to Wason several times, but I believe Wason worked on the code as well with Bond. So congratulations. Congratulations to George Gomez, Wason, Mike Vinikour, everyone over there who worked on this pin, congratulations. I think you all did a great job. I don't think that you chose the necessary posters on the one side of the cab. I don't think that was necessarily your choice. You probably had to go with that. So I'm not maybe gonna like applaud the art director per se, but I think that everything else so far has, you know, the code's been implemented pretty good. The shots are really fun. I'm really stoked to see Gomez, you know, make a three flipper game again. I think that, I don't know if this game will ever go down in history as being as good as Deadpool, but possibly, possibly it could get there, especially with code. And if they add in some different songs other than that, I will say I wanted to see the, the car with a DV8 or... I don't know what it is. Whatever the car is, the Bond car there on the right, that wasn't used much. That's such a cool mech. I'd like to see that used more. The Bond on the wand needs to be used more and less. I don't know if they do this with points or they can do this with coding or I don't know if there's anything that can be done, but I think I'm part of the large group of people that want to see more Bond on a wand and I want to see more of the car and less of the other thing on the left. I'll leave it there for now. Oh, I was saying this. When Wason plunged, the ball went to the pops. And someone joked, oh yeah, it was in the pops for like six years. I went back and watched it twice. It was 24 to 26 seconds. Now, that doesn't sound like a lot, but that's half a minute. So, it didn't happen too often. Like, most people would stay in there five, ten seconds. But, jeez, if there's a shot that requires you to put it up there, and like, for some reason, like, I don't know if there's a way in the code The power to the pops? Obviously, you know, geometry wise, you wouldn't think, with just two pops, it could get stuck for that long, but I swear to God, I saw the ball get stuck in those pops more often than any three pops I've ever seen any time, anywhere. But maybe you could make the pops more important, you could make them part of like, uh, um... the bada boom bada bing, whatever it is, the strip club, uh, multiball in, uh, Sopranos, where you had to hit it, you know, it's got however many switch hits, maybe you could This way users can navigate the large screen or console and drills gliding towards their not much flow even george gomez said flows easy i could do flow rateaway kenya doge cool combo with the starts you can call most of the lawyer but so many of the shots are stop-and-go like that aquatic scoop at the left that stops it pauses it then there's like you know when you want some stop-and-go you will you can't be flow all frickin daily like more than a curve holes Arguably sometimes when I'm playing like I know Star Trek Stern Star Trek by Steve Ritchie there's so much flow that you just feel like you until you hit it to like the the thing on the far left of the orbit there or something like you just feel like it just sometimes you gotta like catch your breath you're like oh my god I got a cradle up and have a sip of my beer and catch my breath because it's just like go go go go go and so I get it I get there got to be some stop but I feel like feel like there quite a bit of stop and go in most Gomez games I would not say they super flowy Although I would say it has more flow than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because when I play... I love you, I love you, John Borg, but when I play Turtles, I played it again at Spin It this last week, even when I'm in the zone and I just came away from getting like $200 I'm a fan of Iron Maiden, and, you know, a million on Beatles, and like 150 million on Kiss, and I'm feeling good about all my scores, and I'm doing well. I walk out and it's brick fest all day long, okay? I'm shooting more bricks than Shaquille O'Neal from the foul line. Like, I'm horrible at TMNT. I can't hit that right ramp for the life of me. I just couldn't do it. Someone could be holding like, I could be completely broke and someone could have a big bag of the devil's lettuce, like a full ounce right there for me, the max you can legally have here in Canada, and I still wouldn't be able to hit that ramp. Like, it's just, I can't hit that ramp. I can't hit that ramp. That's all I can say. All right. So I'm very, very excited. It was really, really nice to see Gomez. We don't get to see him in that type of environment very often. It was really nice to see him with everyone else. I think that dead flip did such a great job and everybody who was there at the dead flip official launch. I know everybody's saying how much of a failure that the bond launch was, but I think there's gonna forever be an asterisk and they'll say, you know what, maybe the bond launch didn't go off. No one's gonna say it went off without a hitch. Okay? Nobody's gonna say that. But what people will tell you from here on out is that but the dead flip The Flipstream kinda redeemed Stern because it was fun, they were enjoying themselves, they weren't taking themselves too seriously, the audio levels were great, the video was great, everyone had fun. That's what you want to see. You want to see all your favorite pinball heroes having fun together, they were answering the tough questions in chat, I think they just did a great job. On to the next one, look at this guys, I have three pages of notes, I've never had this many pages of notes. I'm really taking this podcasting thing a little more seriously. Alright, speaking of seriously, there's really no way to segment into this. Friend of the show and a gentleman that I actually probably should fight harder about trying to get on, especially the new show here on the Poor Man's Pinball Network, Mr. Kerry Hardy, my heart goes out to him. www.vwklmas.it The End But Kerry was kind enough to do a live stream and I got to jump in the live stream early and watch like the whole live stream. Kerry thank you thank you thank you. I don't know if Jack Danger from Dead Flip did a walk through. I don't know if anyone else did. I saw Rachel from Poor Men's Pinball Podcast make some cool videos of like inside the tribe thing, but I didn't actually see anyone walk through. So getting to walk through with Kerry Hardy was really cool. He showed all the different areas. He spent a lot of time showing the home brewery and getting in close to show each pin. Wow, can I just say, guys, Greek Gods looks good, but Elf looks great. I'd be shocked if Elf isn't the show winner. But of course, I didn't get to play any of them and I only got to see each one for a very short period of time. So you know, that's just, take that with a grain of salt. But the animations on Elf look incredible. I would say the animations on Elf look better than some other pinball company's animations, Some legit boutique company's animations. Definitely better than...well, I don't want to name any. I don't want to name any, but... Also, at the end of it, and I was really curious about this because Dave Dennis and I were going to chat about this if we had time to talk about our thoughts on Queen, and it doesn't look like it's going to be on the books for today either, but I will just say this. I'm going to say he's probably not wrong, even though I have no way of testing this. To be honest, Ian, formerly of the Poor Men's Pinball Podcast, and hopefully maybe again in the future, actually made it out to this event. Ian was interviewed, I believe at the end of the Cary Hardy one, and then I think he said it again in one of Rachel's videos, actually. He said and he made the joke and... This is a quote from Ian. It's probably a little controversial. It's not my quote, but this is Ian's quote. Queen is like making out with your sister. It's awkward and weird. We started dating this woman and after they broke up I ran into this girl that was you know my dad's girlfriend's daughter can't remember her name but she was really cute I ran into her at some other event and we ended up making out so I never made out with my sister but I made out with a girl who could have ended up being my stepsister or half-sister had my dad kept it yeah so and and she was that was good making out that was not weird and weird at all but it sounds like Ian whatever you went through Get a therapist, get some help. No, I'm just kidding. No, I'm pretty sure he was just saying that it sucked. That was his cool, funny way of saying that Queen just wasn't that good. He didn't enjoy shooting it. I've heard some other people say that. You know what? I think it looks okay. I think that Queen looks better than any home pin game ever made. I think that Queen looks better than any pinball adventures game ever made. I think that Queen looks better visually than honestly even some Stern art packages from like 10, 15 years ago. I think I just picked up this fucking graphics app after breaking a broken router hub right before I played a game yesterday. I'm going to go off topic a little bit less often. Another thing I loved was the poor man's booth. The poor man's booth was... it looked like the poor man's booth. It looked kind of like a flea market slash yard sale had sucked up a pinball tournament and thrown it there, or sucked up a pinball restorer's arcade or something. They have backglasses and they have translights and they have posters and they have pinball Imlà's This is the mid-expo show. I'll still do another show in a week or so, you know, chatting about how the pinball turned out and how the rest of the show turned out. But wow, it looks to me like next year I found my home. I'm going to be hanging out, selling Angry Alpaca coffee and tea as well as hopefully Pinball Nerds Podcast trading cards from that booth at Expo next year because it looks like the most fun booth there. He wasn't the most organized, the most clean, the most sanitary. It certainly had the least water and the most alcohol, but it looked like the best party. And every single time that I listened to any updates about it or, you know, even watching Flip in the Script and getting to see Rachel and Drew on Flip in the Script with Josh Sharpe in the morning, it's just so neat to just... I think that like, I think that the poor men are probably the coolest tribe in all pinball. I'm sorry, probably the coolest group. Like that's, I'm so thankful to be tribe number 26. I'm even more thankful to be over on the Poor Men's Pinball Network now. And guys, it was so neat to just get to watch Drew and Rachel. And I know Tim Lee's always saying Drew sucks at pinball, but Drew did not suck. He actually got, now he didn't get the, I think Josh Sharpe got a billion on Deadpool. They were all playing Deadpool at the end of the, flip in the script, The last part of their like two hours they were on there and it was so neat to watch. Rachel's given Drew all these tips and everything and then Drew ends up beating Rachel but Rachel still had a great game. I think she got like 100 million or something but Drew ended up getting 200 million. Like my GC on Deadpool and I as far as I know I probably spent a heck of a lot more time on Deadpool than Drew is like 250 million or maybe 280 or something like that. I don't think I broke 300. So good for you Drew and Josh Sharpe a billion. Is that all you got? Is that all you got? Elwin came up and did $2 billion after that. Come on. No, but let's flip over to Flip in the Script for a second. They raised a total, according to the website right now, $15,554.22. For those of you who hadn't heard about Flip in the Script, where have you been? Living under a pinball rock? A pinball machine? Flip in the Script was brought on by Josh and Scott, the Loser Kids of the Loser Kid Pinball The Winner Pinball Podcast. And they hosted a charity that helps a specific center near where they live to be able to bring children and their families help support to be able to get diagnosis of autism to therefore be able to get financial help to get these kids the help they need. And from what I understand there was a the Loser Kid or the Flip in the Script Facebook The donor page this morning said that they had an anonymous donor that brought them up to 25k! So, yee-yee, yee-yee, throw your hands in the air like you just don't care. Woop woop! So, wow, good for them. I'm excited for them. I'm happy for them. I'm glad they got it done. I wasn't sure. You know what, still 15,000 is incredible and that would have still helped tons of families and tons of children. But 25,000 was their goal. I'm so happy for them they got there. I'm telling you right now, pinball nerds are some of the most generous people on the planet. I got to be in chat for a lot of it. I'm sorry to any of you, and I hope it didn't bug Josh and Scott. I was spamming, and George from Panic! Don't Flip was there, and George, you did a great job, by the way, running it as well. Thank you to all the hosts that came out there. I got to watch Jen Ruper and interview Roger Sharp. That was interesting. Hopefully we get to see that. I went over to the Twitch page for the Pinball Network, and I didn't see it there. And hopefully that goes up in the future. I would love to see, you know, you get to see Craig Bobby. I've never seen Craig Bobby play pinball before. I've seen him do the After Dark on TPN. I've seen and heard him lots, but I've never seen him play pinball. And Craig, you're better than you think you are, buddy. Like, you know, Craig was worried, like, oh, I'm not that good at this, or he hadn't played that. And can you imagine you're Craig Bobby here, and you're playing with, you know, one of the top players in the world. Was he there with Eric Meunier, I think? I believe so. Eric was there as well, which was great to see, but poor Craig Bobby's there. He's playing with like this big pinball designer, one of the top, you know, I'm sure that if Eric Meunier played, I've seen him play. He's a very good player. If Eric were to go to all the same tournaments, say Eric Stone goes to, that same caliber of tournaments and that number of tournaments, I'm sure that Eric Meunier could easily be in the top 100 in the world. But Jersey Jack's own Eric was on there and he was talking about how he missed doing live streams. And it reminded me how so many times it would feel like it was only Eric and I on Twitch because Eric would never like tell people when he was live streaming or anything so there wouldn't be that many people in chat. I remember several times it was like me, like Eric, myself, and like, well he was playing and I'm in the chat and there would be like maybe one or two other people there. There would be like 10 people, 10 to 20 people watching but you'd only have one or two other people actually time in and chat so it's almost like I got to have these long, I think we talked more about craft beer than even pinball, But just seeing Eric on the Flip in the Script livestream playing Deadpool made me remember how much I enjoyed. So Eric, I hope that you start livestreaming again. That would be really cool. I'm sure you're very busy working on your next rad JJP pin. But... And oh, and here's my challenge for Eric. I thought this would be funny to do. I truly believe that the boat in the Jersey Jack... in Jersey Jack's Pirates of the Caribbean, the boat that's rocking, is the coolest Mech-N-All pinball. Here's the question. Eric, on your next pin, could you make a mech even better than that? Probably not. I mean, the stage was really cool. The stage was really cool, of course, in Guns N' Roses, but could he make a better one than that? I don't know. I thought it was also interesting, Rachel was given a... now, she was just reading the chat, but she actually gave Josh Sharpe a really good question about, of course, IFPA and Whoppers, And of course, District 82 is where Rachel plays all of the time. So, when she asked Josh Sharpe that he actually had a really good response and again I think this will be posted I don't want to say anything out of context so I believe I don't know if this will I'm not sure if this will ever get posted again, but it was very interesting to see that Rachel really held her own, did a good job, and so did Josh. He actually had a good explanation of why they did that, and so it made more sense to me. And one thing Josh said is, hey, that's the one place I went out of town to actually go do a tournament. So that, because that's the one place that, you know, he's gone, he obviously likes District 82 as well, right? So, yes. But I couldn't be more stoked for flipping the script and all those kids that are going to get better, quicker help now and moving forward. And Josh, Scott, everybody involved with Flip in the Script. You guys did a great job. It was so fun to be in chat. I kept reposting, probably spamming it too often. I'm sorry if I did. Although a couple times I saw people did donate shortly after I put the auction link. But any time I noticed someone hadn't put the auction link in there for a while. Now I know like on the mobile app you're able to see like they click the link in the corner. But actually, now maybe it's because I don't know my Twitch isn't up to date or my Twitterн Mae-Wen Schultz, I had no clue I was actually going to hire a pin turn for Expo but I was talking to Rorden, okay, or Rodden, I'm not sure how to say your name but I think it's Rorden, that's what you told me, I know I was talking to Rorden a long time ago and he put Roar like a lion so I'm going to pronounce it Rorden until I hear it differently. But Rorden came all the way from Australia and he was so stoked, he's heard me talk I talked about the Boston Cream Donut from good old Timmy Ho's here a thousand times. He was excited to try it and when he landed in the airport in Vancouver, the Tim Hortons was still closed. So he never got to try it. This is like his first, last and only chance. Like, I mean, I could ship him that thing but it isn't going to taste very good after traveling for seven days. It's just not. I don't even care if I vacuum seal it and I put her on dry ice. That Boston Cream would not taste good there in that long. So, Rorden, I felt, partially because I felt bad for you and also partially because Rorden, myself, I know Joe Trevino of Pinball Degenerates, we're just like, we're pinball's biggest super fans and I thought he would like it, so I said, Rorden, I'd like, if you're willing to take up the task, I'd like to hire you as my pin turn. So, I did not actually give Rorden any specific missions or tasks, all I said is just have a great time, enjoy the experiences, I like to think that just looking at all the pictures that he took with so many people, he just posted like 30 pictures this morning, he got pictures with pretty much everyone who's anyone of pinball. And during, this was posted to the Tribe Facebook page, the Poor Men's Pinball Tribe Facebook page, so go like that page if you haven't, you can watch this as well. Well Rorden says something to the extent of and I don want to quote him but when asked about his thoughts on Expo he said well my favorite thing is just meeting everybody seeing everybody and enjoying those priceless moments I believe he called it And wow for everybody there I like I have mad FOMO I watching Expo and I like I wish I was there I wish I was hanging out with everybody especially when I see stuff like that, like, you know, I, yes, it would've been cool to meet Roger Sharp again and, yes, it would've been cool to, like, go say hi to Ken Cromwell, who I've never got to meet in person, or even Bill Webb, and cheers to them, Special Inlet Pinball Podcast is coming back, can't wait for that, can't wait for that. More importantly, I just would like to hang out with all the poor, the poor men's tribe members and just see all of them and like give them a big hug, buy them a beer, maybe do a shot with them, play a game of pinball, all that kind of stuff. And that's, that's really what I'm missing. I don't care about a new pinball machine being released. Yes, I'd be cool if JJP had surprised everybody and they had their next pin there. But really it's just, it's just really the hanging out with people that, uh, that it's just the hanging out with people really that is the part that for me anyways is the part that I'm missing the most. Now, before I go into the tournament part, I know a lot of people just tune out the tournament part or they don't listen to it. So I've got to do my commercial now because if I wait till later, ain't nobody gonna be listening. No, I'm just kidding. Hopefully you stay for the tournament talk. It's not gonna be too long. But I did want to say that normally when we do these podcasts and I tell you guys, oh, we're fully stocked up on coffee, usually what happens is that weekend at the market we sell five to ten bags and because we want to keep all of our coffee fresh, we don't have an inventory of much more than 20. A lot of times when we come home between the coffee that we make and the coffee that's being sold wholesale in bags, there's not that much left. The good news is because we're done at the market I'm looking at the Angry Alpaca coffee and tea square site right now which you can easily link to off the Angry Alpaca Facebook page. Angry Alpaca coffee and tea just click the shop now button that will bring you right to our Squarespace site. The four coffees that we have now are Hello My Name is Pinball Nerd which is an ultra light roast really good for espresso, our City Lights which is just a general lighter medium Oral and Emory soulaw rapid mass anxious produclub cost dollar draftbb tagged tule north uh... fruit flavor stone fruit flavors that's what you're gonna get for the some did the east coast are correct it is the best Dark roast ever made by a pinball nerd that you've ever had. All right. But here's the other good news is we actually are fully stocked up on our teas right now as well. With the holiday season coming, we've got to get ready for those. So let me just read you out a couple of those that we have here. We have Candy Cane, okay. Mmm. Life's a Peach. So the Candy Cane one's fairly simple. It's a Candy Cane, it's basically a mint flavored green tea. Life's a Peach is another one of our green teas and of course, all natural peach flavoring. We've got the Pink Polka Dot, very low quantities. This is a lemon flavored black tea, okay? Then we also have We Rise Again, which is one of our charities. So we actually have some money for that going to a local charity here. That tea is actually a lemon ginger rooibos, so for anyone who doesn't want any caffeine, that's the one you order. Then of course, we have Funnier Chai which is our chai black tea. I don't want the commercial to go on too long but we also have Be Excellent To Each Other, We have the Sugar Shack with the amazing artwork from my London buddies artists there that we have on there which is of course of Gord Downie. We just celebrated the five years since he's passed a couple days ago so cheers to you Gord Downie and I love that artwork on the Sugar Shack. Sugar Shack of course is a maple black tea which is probably the best for fall. This time of year when it's getting a little cold you add just a dash of of course maple syrup if you have it but if not just a little bit of white sugar and then you add some cream to it and it's chef's freaking kiss man. Excellente! Then there is the Cinnamon Girl if you want like a more high-powered chai, East Coast Love, and of course the Lucid Dreamer. That's another chai. The Lucid Dreamer is great to help you go to sleep. And coming soon is our first ever homestead tea. That's going to be apple slices, hops, yes the type you put in beer, but don't worry you won't get drunk from it. There's no alcohol in this. And then it's got loaded, loaded, loaded with rose hips. That is the berry that comes off a rose plant. All of these gathered here from our homestead as As well as a lot of local camel mail flour. So that, the homestead one isn't as much of a sleepy tea, it's a lot more of a minty tea. But it will really, it's not so much about necessarily giving you the caffeine, but kind of perking you up in the morning with a little bit of that minty flavor and the apple flavor. I was going to call it Orbeez Appy Juice, but I thought, well that's a little silly to call it Orbeez Appy Juice, because of course, there is apple inside of it, but it's not like a strong apple flavor. You get the apple in the background, you get the hibiscus a little bit, and you get the camel meal a little bit, but primarily what you're getting from it is the three different types of mint that we have here that we grow in the homestead. That will be up on the website soon, if not today, probably tomorrow. So go check that out, buy some coffee, buy some tea. I'm not going to lie, on the last podcast I mentioned how we got to $1,000 in sales and how I was so excited about it. That is true, but what I neglected to mention is that when we're shipping stuff out, our margins are much, much, much smaller. Like think probably maybe 20% if that, not including our time. So that means there's probably been a profit of, I don't know, like even at 25%, $250. So I've done 500 shows and I have a profit of $250. If you do the math, I've got paid 50 cents a show, which I appreciate every penny everyone's ever spent. But I will say this in seeing that all the other podcasts are doing a Patreon and just in the last week having someone tell me that if only there was a way they could support the show and not spend as much money because not gonna lie especially if you're down there in the States where over 70% of my listeners are and you tried to order one bag of coffee at $22 the shipping on it's still 20 you're talking 44 bucks Canadian that's probably I don't know 30 30 32 dollars US now are you gonna get like 60 awesome cups of coffee from it or like at least 40 if you make them really I'm going to make sure that I have a Patreon up because that way I want to have like, well, you know me, I want to have an option that's 420 pennies, $4.20, $4.20. I have a Patreon up because that way I want to have like well you know me I want to have an option that's 420 pennies $4.20 I'll probably have a toonie option and then I might have like a super le option for like 20 bucks and if you order for I don't know six months straight you'll get like if you're part of that level for six months straight I'll send you like a coffee and and a six pack of tea to try or something right so I want you to get good value for it I'm still working out the different levels I don't know how it would work, but you know what? I like that all these other pinball podcasters, because although your primary motive for doing a pinball podcast should never be monetary, of course, just getting that little bit of extra money to help break even on, say, the cost of your equipment or to help break even on justifying to your partner the time and energy that you put into it. In the last week, between Pinball Expo, Flip in the Script, shout out, of course, over In so many of us, which we'll be talking about a moment engraving, we might as well start with a quickKinna shirt, but rather okay with two colors. First is a blue I do like that from time to time people order. Now I will say this, probably because I bragged about hitting $1,000. Maybe I cursed myself, okay? We haven't had a single solitary order on the website from a pinball nerd or non-pinball nerd now in about two and a half weeks. And maybe that's because, hopefully that's because all the pinball nerds listening went over there and supported David Dennis's Patreon. I hope that's why. I hope it's not because you were like mad at me because I do feel like it came off a little bit like I was bragging. And I want you guys to know that I still want to be humble, but at the same time, I do want to provide a service to my family by at least mentioning our companies there. So here's Humble Orbi saying, if you have the means and you can go over there. We were financially devastated by Hurricane Fiona. And that being said, my wife is back to work. We just found out a couple of days ago from the solar company, which legally needs to be installed by November 3rd, we could lose a $16,000 grant. But that's going to happen because they're coming back on November 1st. We found out that when the people were on the roof, they noticed that our hydro intake got snapped off since they installed the solar panels or sorry, between whenever they did like the last inspection, which was before they put the solar panels on until when they came back to complete the job. The plastic coping that holds like the power goes into my house. I don't know the right terminology for it, but it snapped off and they showed me pictures of it and I thought it'd be like $100 to fix. It's $615 to fix because they have to come here and turn off the hydro and apparently we're paying mostly for that cost. And then I checked with our insurance, our home insurance, and the deductible is $500. And our insurance would go up for the next five to eight years. So I'm not going to put it through insurance, but above and beyond the several thousands of dollars we're out from Hurricane Fiona, we're now out another $700. Knapp Arcade, Spaces, Strutting, But some people, Patreon, especially at the lower tiers, you don't necessarily get anything out of it other than helping support your local pinball podcaster, which that's an important thing, of course. But the main thing that you're going to get from, of course, this is just knowing that you helped me, my family, you know, kind of bounce back. And more importantly, you're just supporting the fact of not today's show, but the fact All of these are the pinball shows that I've now done 504 episodes of pinball content for the pinball community for you my listener that's right I do this show for you all right let's go on and talk a little bit about the tournament the flip flip and out tournament or flip out tournament that started with like 190 people and then like the top 88 go into a and then it was the bracket from hell that's right they've got to figure out a way even when you click on the�. The world's number one player, according to FBUT at least. He is, I'm guessing he'll get number four. Karl Karl DeAngelo, who qualified first, blowing up every fricking pinball machine he touched. I think he only needed like four or five games to qualify of the 12, so that guy's just on fire. It's probably silly, I'm not saying Karl Karl DeAngelo should win, but I actually think that Karl Karl DeAngelo will probably get around third. I think Josh Sharpe will, you know, according to Jeff Teolos, this is just the pinball god speaking, but I think he's going to get a second, notably second. Been playing very well, but the guy who won last year, the reigning champion who's got the belt around his waist, Mr. Escher Lefkoff. I always go for Escher. I don't know. Ever since I got to watch Escher win Pinburgh, I've just always... I love Escher. I think Escher can do it. I love listening to Escher do commentary other than maybe Steven Bowden. I don't know if there's anyone else better to listen to do commentary. Dalton's very entertaining. Everybody at Fox Cities who is doing it was very entertaining. Even if you're not really huge into pinball, go back and just watch. Find your favorite pinball personalities. Like last night, I fell asleep before it was done. I think it aired till like 12 Chicago time. That was 1 a.m. my time, so I fell asleep at like 10 30 and I just didn't watch it anymore. But I went back this morning and I was watching Travis Murray for his tournament life was playing of course of Triple Drain Pinball Podcast on TPN and just watching him was just fun because I've heard him talk about pinball so much but I've only got to see him like playing tournaments maybe twice on livestream. So getting to watch him was just that added bonus. So even if you're not So if you're not huge into tournament pinball, go back to Fox Cities and just click fast forward. Remember, you are your own VCR, okay? Most of us are old enough to remember VCRs, DVD players, you know, before there was streaming, which of course you can fast forward these ones now, so to the younger groups, yeah. Just pretend you're on Netflix, just fast forward to the interesting parts. If you don't know the two people playing and you're not invested in it or it's early rounds or something, just fast forward. You're always going to find someone you know to watch, right? Like, uh, Neil Graff's, uh, I confused the two Graffs, but Neil's son, or Neil the son was playing and that was interesting, right? Because I know him just through Tom Graff, Neil Graff's son. No. Tom Graff's son Neil Graff was playing in a game and that was just a little more interesting because I knew I was going to hear about it probably later on TPN as well. So just going in there and watching all these personalities that you know also just adds an extra value.
