Or beat it up, I don't know. Let's try beating it up. It's not recommended that you do this, kids. Shakalaka. Is what she wants me to say. This is the sucker mode in this game. This is why they want you to be quarter second. Sucker mode. See, all that game here and you got like 72 million. That is pretty upsetting. Oh, we have Friday, kids. So you want to shoot that shot for the first lock. Just add rubber stands and legs. All players see you at Emporium. Chippin' Ball, who are you? See you at Emporium. Crank those leg blubblers back, yo. Yeah, six and a half is kind of flat, Ball. Usually this group is as steep as it'll go. So I don't want the skill shot. You can get another skill shot. But it starts the mode. You can't start a mode at this point. You are locked into Multimod. All you can do now. That's why this... Oh my god. Oh my god. What the fuck just happened? Game said nope. Wow. No, like, consolation, like, give you the ball back. Oh, my God, dude. Is that multiple? Is Don or do I start with his multiple? You still get it, yeah. But that's all you can do. Oh, there you go. John Armstrong. Good to see you, buddy. And that's why this game kind of sucks on location if it's broken. Because if you get into that situation, you can't do anything. Yeah. You got to start multiple on the door. Were you second or was Nick? I was second. My man. Nick got it. Yeah. Okay. Roll out. Oh, shit. We should leave. This should be our last game. This is probably our last year. We have to go, right? Time of day? Seven. I go. I guess Brad. Hey, I'm hungry. We've got like eight million in the pot. What time does pinball start? Seven thirty? It's a clock? Is this a zero? This is your lemon core and my heifer, Bryson. Or whatever you call it. No, there are seven. E-ish. How long do you think you guys get over there? Um, not terribly long. Nick's driving, so I don't know. An hour. An hour. I'm going to be some time to have a piece of food in me. There is the Tycoon place. Tycoon place is very good. That food is mighty good. Bye, Spreeby. Later, Das Bacon. Have a wonderful night. Bye, Das Bacon. Das Bacon. Das Bacon. Shoulder got them Das Bacon. Take it back now, y'all. Ah, two pop-overs. I was hoping for one. All kinds of people feel like liking my stuff. Uh-oh. Here it comes. Fast cook. So if this is the last game, I think Brad might be out of the brush. I can't. If I win, Nick and I are tied. QED. All right, good to know. The wheel! You're an arcade guy. Right on, man. I was exclusively, before I got into pinball, man, I was absolutely the biggest World of Warcraft married. It was terrible Oh Dave Kiss just did a smiley face at me on my watch Aw Well, trap the fortified. He's trying to... So, getting the loop is a double, right? That's a triple. A triple? Yeah, but, uh, I believe the ramp is a triple, that's why. So I'm either going left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right. Hmm. Ooh. I committed a kill. I was horrid all day, baby. Wait, what's on his thing? It said reset. Oh, fuck. Okay. Shit better not be on his thing. I'll fucking donate to kids is what I'll do. Uh, Jaded, no. I have a pebble. Donated by a person. Donated by a kid. Donated by a child. A kid. Yeah, man, listen. Slow eyes! Those Alliance nerds need to know what's up. You folks still play World of Warcraft, I'm just telling you. Horde all day. Oh, you got multiple balling? Oh, I'm moving. I am freaking screwed here, kids. Glamour shots. Let's hear that country. Baby, I'm here. I don't know. What do you think, Paul? You ever seen a long-ish? Come on, you jerk. Gotcha. Gotcha, Ted. Open your mouth, Ted. Ted, you freaking Ted. Oh, that's the end of that. Yeah, it's one. Come on, Ted. I'm trying to do this to you again. Dude, it likes effing my biscuit there, man. Make me get this awesome music. Oh, man, keep playing this Carter. Carly Carter.

It's called back Friday. Dance out. I don't know about this. Up. That was a good save. You guys are... Anyway. That hurt. That hurt my feelings. Oh, F off. How do I relight the lock? I think you gotta get Friday again to relight the lock. What? Double Friday? Hey, I still got the high score, so I'm still the Indiana champ, Jason. It's true. He still has GC on here. We still have balls to play, though. I bet it's gonna be super soon. Officer, speed! Speed! Dang, pops. Williams all day. Get up. Get. Tuesday. Yo, I'm a ballerina. Just to clarify, he's getting away with murder trying to go for like a second multiple. Yo, yeah. What he means is I'm murdering it. Shit. I am not certain. Oh no, you have Ohio lit. There you go. Zombies. Oh no, they'll get 30 million. Buggy. Oh boy. Does that count? Yeah you get Ohio So get your coffee month bonus There you go Times three 30 mil Oh, baby! This is me. Oh, that's you. So I naturally assume somehow you got an Apple Watch. Yeah. There we go. No score is safe. They're cool shoes, dog. Oh, he's got Miami, we're done. I like these sharpener X kind of moves. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, boy. Oh, no. That's what we needed. That's a ball too, folks. Probably still got us. Yeah, we still got 73. Yeah, we needed you not to play out Miami. Fall in. The little thing I do. What the fuck was that? Let's give Nick a little call. Sweet. Oh, gosh. Wait, who's a babble... Oh, I'm over it. A ballerina with a mustache. I'm a ballerina with a mustache. Go through his heel. So, um, a hairy leg. You don't know if my legs are hairy, Gearson. They're probably hairy, though. They're hairy. Thanks, Nick. Hairy legs. All right, so I need... Nick is on my heels here. He's nipping hard. So what I'm going to do is hit the blade two more times, get my other lock, open Ted's freaking huge mouth, put my ball in it, and start a multiball. Money! Can you do it? Can I do it? First off, skill sheet. Wait, don't start a move. Okay, thank you. Thursday. We need to hit that shot right there. So we're going to try to post pass. Nick needs to tilt the cart. Nice lock, bro. I like to put a pot of guillotine in my pan. There he goes. Multiball number two. Oh, you shirt-slipping... You shirt-slipper? You need to speak to Sue. You shirt-slipper? Oh, no. Here, take this tape out. Oh! Choke on my ball! Big money. Big money, Ted. Shut up, Ray. The X-File value carries over, but it doesn't connect so fast. I'm taking pot shots at nothing here. That was a freebie. Love ya! Cheat! And you got a second one. Yes sir. Just gotta get it close to your mouth. Another freebie and you're done. Oh, I think he didn't. I think the damage was done. Motherfudge. And a bonus? They call me Motherfudge. Swip daddy that one. In his mouth violently. He's one of a slow roller. Nick leads in the tilt department. As a police. Sorry, internet. Okay, that's a good one. I had a game in the finals on Saturday that if I didn't tilt, I would have won. That's the worst. And I tilt my 200,000 point bonus oil. Cliffy got me. Cliffy drained you, dude. Cliffy got me. Cliffy dropped. Yo, you got Cliffy dropped. Not even like Cliffy you got super Cliffy It just rolled over You could see it tracing the top of the cliff All right Unite Thanks Clifton Cliff. Cliff Ravensworth. Was that his name? The mailman? Yeah, I think so. From Cheers. There was Norm and Cliff. Cliff Ravensworth, right? Skull 666 says, the allure of this game is all about putting your balls in their mouths with enthusiasm and great cheer. I didn't note it into the drain alley. It drained us from the cliffy. I noticed it in the inlay. It didn't survive for a while. Brad saved it, but the cliffy said F you. And for you folks that don't know what a cliffy is, it's a metal protector that people put on their games to protect the playfield from being destroyed when balls drop onto it, like when they come off of that rail there. Oh, nice short. Cliff Clavin. That's what his name was. What did I say? Ravensworth? Yeah. Cliff Clavin. Cliff Clavin. Oh, my gosh. Sit down. Don't hit the Alexa on Jeff, Connor. Nick is a lifeguard in a pool with a turd floating in the water. Let's try that again, folks. You need a free skill channel right here. Yeah, that's pretty great. There's two. Does it count as two? No, because you've got to alternate. Oh, barf. There you go. There you go. Wait, why is it coming three times? It is. It was already going three times. It doesn't still explode. Oh, the chopsticks for life. Hey, you know what sounds good? Food with chopsticks. Nick Pot. No, it's Jack Pot. Although that would be fun to change. To name all the jackpots and eggpots. Nooo! Wait! Aw, I only got ten. I should have... I should have thrown a bony. So, who got second? Second. That was you. I'll put you in. Can you put Deadflip in? Who got second? Me. Oh, my God. We're tied. I think we just got to leave it at a tie, kids, because we got to go. Uh-huh. Well, the important thing is that Deadflip beat Hooligans tonight. We'll make sure to mark that down. We don't have to. I already got the paperwork here. We got to sign it. We're taking that belt. Everybody, thanks for coming. Internet, I love you guys. It's going to be a nice, fun, chill week on Roadshow. We'll do our best to explain some of the basic pinball maneuvers, flipper stuff, ways to blow this up, ways to just beat other people. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Thanks to Brad for actually donating this game when he did. This is our second time around on this, and thanks to Brad for showing up. We're going to go kick his ass at Emporium now. Just kidding. Love you guys. Shaker Rumble on the stream looks like the cabinet gets squeezed. Oh, I didn't even think about the shaker motor shaking the camera. That's awesome. Anywho, if you folks are in Chicago, go to Emporium tonight in Wicker Park. We'll be there battling and signing T-shirts. I don't know. Is that a thing? Yeah, we sign T-shirts. Yeah, we sign T-shirts. Bring your Sharpie. Bring, yeah, we don't handle Sharpies, though. You have to sign it for us. All right, guys, have a good night. Love you. Yeah.
