    So Zach said, hey, hey, man, since you're so close to Stern, Stern would like to take your game and actually diagnose it because they want to figure out what the problem is, because they've been sending out these assemblies and to everyone who got an assembly, everything works fine, then you just kind of, you know, take out the old assembly, put in the new one for the glider, it's fine, but they still don't quite have a handle on why it's happening. So anyways, they worked out a deal with me and Zach said someone's gonna come pick up the game. Well, first part of the story is, guess who's coming to get my game tomorrow? He is a pinball celebrity in his own right. I get this phone call from someone who used to be in the pinball media and is no longer in the pinball media. Who could that be? No idea. Mr. Bill Webb himself. Why is Bill Webb, is he working for Zach? No, no, no, no, no. He's, it was all part of the deal. I think, uh, I think Stern's paying him to come get it or, you know, something like that. They worked out the logistics, but, um, so I get this phone call from Bill Webb and I'm talking to Bill. It's pretty awesome. And, uh, anyways, tomorrow he's coming to pick up the game. Um, but how this ties into Penn stadiums is I had the Penn stadium Neo fusions in my turtles and they were fantastic. And, you know, before they're going to take this game, I was like, all right, I'm going to tear it apart. So I took the pin stadiums out just so they don't get effed up and whatever in transit and all this other stuff. So I took the pin stadiums out and then I played a couple games without the pin stadiums. Woof, as Ian would say. The light show is still great on Turtles, don't get me wrong, but those pin stadiums just add such a degree of awesomeness to the game. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So they took your game... I'm sorry, I missed it. Did they take your game yet? Estados Unidos Soci Letter, Scorpio Exit chores, Gencoij Felantes de la Esc Obrigada por va al solm materiano! Muchas más gracias a todos ustedes por estar aquí hoy gente! www.willywonka.com Ore Verderium of NB 거죠 if you'd like to Yeah, it's the second part of that. I'll just keep rolling with my pinball news before we get into whatcha drinkin'. So I finally put up, seriously put up Laser Q and Firepower. I've been dragging my feet. I saw Laser Q. Yeah, I kinda- You had a price, then it didn't have a price. Yeah. And then now it's free, I think. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, it's like $2. Okay. You know, I've been dragging my- I'll pay you $2. Hey you, 2DAL. I've been dragging my feet because I've been playing them and whatever, but I got this great deal today from our buddy Troy Smith. He got in a Spider-Man yesterday. That's Troy South for those who follow us. Not Troy North. They're both good distributors, but Troy South. I just messaged him and he hasn't even put it up yet. He said, sure, here's the deal. It's got a color DMD. It's the original Spider-Man. John Popadiuk, Bob Betor, Knapp Arcade, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Knapp Arcade, I need you in a good space today, okay? So, no, I'm fine. And, like I said, two games are going to be leaving, so I'm basically replacing two for, you know, one for two, so it's fine. So I'll actually have more room in my pinball dungeon, and I'm excited about that. So... It's like owning a boat, right? You're happy the day it shows up and you're happy the day it leaves? No, because you don't have to stick a bunch of money into it most of the time. Yet you do. Sometimes. Oh, yes, yes, yet I do. Correct. What did my wife say? My wife and I were talking about something unrelated that's like a thousand bucks a year, whatever it was, right? Some subscription or something. And she said to me, well, you spend a thousand dollars a year on dolls. And I said, I said, I don't buy those things as much anymore. And she said, what? Ben Thede Every game I get... You can always keep those pin stadiums for the next game. And the speaker lights and all that stuff is interchangeable. Yeah, sure. So, yeah, it's pretty easy. But so... That's what she said. Nobody really interchanges those. It's like I still got my old DMD when I swapped the color DMD for it. I sold my old DMD. Did you? I think I still have one left because I had one from Simpsons because I did color DMD. I had one from Metallica. The Metallica one was never used because I swapped it right away. I think I got, I don't know, like $150 for it. Wow. You know, it was decent. Maybe a little less, but, you know, brand new DMD. They're worth something. Mike Williams, when did Bill go to Stern? I don't think he's at Stern. He's not. No, no, no. I want to qualify this before this gets back to Bill or Zach or something. Bill doesn't work for Zach. Bill doesn't work for Stern.
    10:07
    Bill is doing this for a favor slash Stern is paying for all this stuff. Are you there? quick break All involved here. Stephen- And I was like just give it to John Borg. Keith- Oh yeah that would beắ sustain? John- that would be Borg, it wouldn't be Keith. Steve- Yeah. Steve- Oh yeah! Steve- You just insulted John Borg. Keith- Fuck it. He doesn't listen to this anyway. Steve- John Borg will you please listen to us once, twice in your life. Keith- We have things to say JOHN BORG. Steve- We do. Steve- What about Keith Elwin? Keith- We do.
    11:05
    Steve- So anyway man. So whatcha drinking? Let's get into our normal routine because I feel like we're a little off here. Keith- Well I brought back my old friend. Screwball! If you can't get a dog, would you name him Screwball? I would. Yeah, Screwball. I would name him Ball Screw. And that is the peanut butter whiskey that everyone is so fond of listening to us. Yep. I took a break from my... Sweet, neat, and a really nice treat. Oh, that was a lot of rhyming, dude. I have a two-year-old. All we do is rhyme. Mime-ing and rhyming. Okay, what are you drinking, sir? I'm drinking this thing. I forget what it's called. Hold on. God, hold on.

    Nevada Agency Distilling Company presents Smoke Wagon, small batch, straight bourbon whiskey. Smoke Wagon? Smoke Wagon. It's got two peacemakers there.
    11:58
    Those are my gun noises. Those are good gun noises. Just drinking it straight tonight because I feel like that's what the cowboys would have done. I don't think they would drink a fancy whiskey like that. All right, so that's us. That's what we're drinking. That is what we're drinking. All right, so do you have any other personal pinball news, my man? Nope. I got to get in touch with our powder coke guy. He's a busy man, so you might want to get in quicker. Is he? He's a lot busier now than when we started. Oh, really? He's got a whole operation now. We've made him famous. That's awesome. All of these people sending engine parts and stuff to them, bike parts. And they're getting them powder coated purple. I don't know. Like fluorescent and yeah, speckle. Fast and Furious style. That guy from, his name eludes me, the guy from Pinball Refinery in Michigan, he has a nice little business going now where you send them all your parts, and I think he's only charging. Tim Kitzrow Árova, www.willywonka.com Super Tim Tam Slam. Let's see here. Rich Man's Pinball Podcast. Yeah, Joe, that's right. Staghorn, last one. It wasn't Staghorn, Rachel. I don't know what it is. Smoke Wagon. I tried some of that peanut butter whiskey. Nasty, Neil Carlson. Neil, I love you, brother. Chris Chandler. Oof, don't bother bringing a bottle to the next TPF, Drew. I've got a barely drank bottle of screwball with your name on it. Tim Tam's out. We already got there. I got a feeling that Ian did some serious pre-gaming tonight. No, not drunk. Not drunk. Just beat down with life. Life just kicked my ass again. Happy to be here. Super excited to be on this show. On this podcast. With you guys out there in chat. Yes, if I did Tim Tam and screwball, I think you would automatically die of diabetes instantly. Tim Lee. Drew thinks the TMNT is broken because it will not go past $20 million. Oh, Tim Lee. Tim Lee knows you, man. A couple of things.
    15:08
    One, you're right, as always. And two, you know what? Tim and I now, we talk on the phone like twice a week or whatever. Tim's the nicest guy in person, but when he's behind the keyboard, he's a jerk.

    The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. The Willy Wonka Podcast is a production of Willy Wonka Media Group, LLC. It's all connected. There's leaderboards. Would you be better at pinball if you were as tall as Jack Danger? I don't know. My ankles are always weird though. I often wonder that because sometimes I'll like... This sounds really weird but I do this because I'm curious. I'll stand up on my tippy toes when I'm playing pinball, right? He stands on a chair. This is the Jack Danger chair. Well, sure. Well, we have a friend, a tribe member, number four or five, whatever, EBW. He's... We call him the Condor. He's six foot, what? Six four, six five? Six something. Yeah, he's tall. And, um, probably hung like a moose too. No, he's, he's hung like a Smurf. I've seen it. Um, love you, ABW. Um, what?
    17:37
    This show's going that way. Um, but no, but you know, you, you get this different perspective of the pinball game. Cause like, you know, I'm built low to the ground, obviously. And, uh, it's just a, it's a very different perspective and I think it might help because sometimes, you know, you're like looking, you're trying to see where the shots going. All in different things. It's just- I don't know. No, I get it man. Dude, tall people, Keith Elwin is pretty tall, right? Yea. He's tallish. Maybe you're on to something. Hmmm. But Raymond Davidson, the number one player in the world. I think he's short. Alright, never mind then. Hmmm. That was short-lived, Drew. Yep. Put up, um. Science. Ugh. Anyways, go ahead. So, no. No, um. So, they're gonna be a sponsor. We're gonna- I thought it just made sense for the show. Rachel says, I often see really tall players hunker over or bend down lower. It's weird. Yeah, they are weird. Yeah, true. I would say no, but I think it's a good marriage, you know, as far as Zen Studios and the Foremen, just because it is an affordable alternative to actually owning a lot of these. There are a VR version too, so there's a virtual reality of Pinball FX where you can play those, which John Popadiuk, Bob Betor, Keith Elwin, Laser Los, Bowen Kerins, Larry Kizrow, Tim Kitzrow,

Right. Just like they say, hey, we're not a real pinball podcast. We're not a real pinball podcast. No. Correct. We don't know much about pinball either today. And you know what I say to that? You're right. Totally. But here we are, doing our live show. Yeah, so no, it was really exciting, and I really, you know, I really appreciate it. They got, and it's good timing, too, because they have three new games that are being released tomorrow on Pinball FX3. That's going to be a space shuttle, which I'm kind of excited about. I got to stop you one more time. Sorry, Jesse J just chimed in. Had to go take a work call. Someone recant me in the last five minutes. It's the same as every five minutes of our podcast. Ian and Drew argued about a couple of things. We talked about Zen Studios being our new sponsor. And now you're caught up. There you are. So, yeah, the three games coming out tomorrow on the Pinball FX3 is Space Shuttle, Dr. Dude, which should be a lot of fun, All three are on there. Yeah, Roadshow is on there. What the hell is it? See, I had it in my head. So Space Shuttle, you said, and Doctor Dude. Yep. And there's one more. There's one more. Okay. Both good games, by the way. Space Shuttle I'd like to own someday. Yeah, it's on our freaking page. Doctor John, she didn't miss the nipple flash. There's going to be plenty more of those coming. No, I don't want to.

    Better than the sequel, virtual buttholes. And Christian Lyons says Space Station, bro. No, I said Space Station was the first one. Oh, I thought you said Space Shuttle. Oh, is it? Because there's a Space Shuttle and a Space Station. Space Station, Dr. Dude, and Funhaus. Okay. Funhaus. Ooh, Funhaus is coming? Yes, Funhaus. Sorry, guys. You know I'm in. Anyway, sorry, I keep getting distracted. I had it all and then we had to catch up, Jess. It's a whole thing. So, I'm done. That's it. New sponsor. Maybe not anymore, but new sponsor. After they watched the first show, they're like, nah. Nah. It's over. Zen Studios, we love you. We really do. Pinball FX3 is spectacular. Yeah, you guys do a great job. Yeah, there's no placating here. We enjoy it. We've been playing it for a while. Yeah, so they have their Williams tables, which are all phenomenal. They have some original tables. I played a few of those. Those are okay. They have some really, really sweet. They have a great Doom table. I like the Bob's Burgers table. I haven't gotten that far yet. That one's really fucking cool. I also like some of the Star Wars tables. So they got actually quite a selection there. So the Back to Future, they have Jaws. They have quite a few things. I thought the Archer one... Did they do Archer? They did Archer. Archer, Bob, Bob Burgers. Family Guy. And Family Guy, yeah. I played Archer. Bob Burgers is really good. Archer... I'm a fan of the show, that table. I was like, eh. But, no, Bob Burgers... Bob's burger is really cool. Should I say that three times fast? Yeah, I think my favorite one that's a non-Williams table is still the Star Wars Fighter Squadron. Oh, you were talking about that because the... Yeah, that thing's really fucking cool. ...the ships fly across and... Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. I think that's a really cool thing. Yeah, I think that's a really cool thing. Star Wars, Fighters, Squadron. Oh, you were talking about that. Yeah, that thing's really fucking cool. The ships fly across. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, there's like, you know, video modes that are actual, you know, X-Wings. I mean, how badass is that? So, yeah. Yeah. So, welcome Zen Studios to the family. All right. So, next. Oh, all right. Should we go into the Facebook shit? Do it. All right. So, today will be our last broadcast live on Facebook. I'm probably going to shut us down in about three minutes when we're done talking. I don't care. Fuck them. I'll give you guys the skinny real quick. Fuck Facebook. Yeah, I'll tell you the skinny. The algorithm just went on fire right now. Boom. Anyway, I'll try not to make this too long as long as I don't keep getting interrupted by Drew, which I will. So, all right. So here we go. Real quick, I noticed that we weren't being able to log on and see our views, how many likes we had, how many follows, how many minutes we streamed. They cut us off completely from the behind the scenes stuff. We are 100% blank. They took away the stars. They took away a lot of things, almost everything. We're still able to record live and that's about it. They even took my pants.
    23:47
    Let's see how many times I can make Ian shake his head today. So, after talking to, honest to God, six different people, and they all told me to go to the same place, which I went to the same place. The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. The Winning Pinball Show, Knapp Arcade, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Bally Williams,
    25:00
    The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. Who here's Stern's pinball? Pinball racist? I don't think pinball is their forte. I don't think they care about pinball. I think they really want to push this gaming platform of Facebook's to more of the, you know, the trendy shit. Yeah, but they don't know what the next big thing's going to be. I'm not saying, I mean, obviously we're not going to take off and whatever. Well, just the pinball stuff, they don't view that as gaming.
    25:55
    Gaming. We're not gamers, guys. We play games, but they're not gaming. We play antiques. www.facebook.com It didn't say anything about excessive swearing, dildo talk, you can drink, you can't do illegal drugs, you can't fucking, you can't sell something like, you know, these can't be commercials, essentially. And then there's no nudity, which Drew's tried so hard, but it just isn't happening, kids.
    27:20
    So, but we haven't broken any of the rules. The only thing I could think of is I tagged a few games when we did these podcasts because we needed to tag a game. Team
    27:58
    PORMAN FANBOY105 on Twitch or something. And I know Billy YJ is like KanedaBallsucker245 or something. So there's a whole thing. I'm going to miss seeing everyone's name. We'll figure it out as we go. We're going to try Twitch because we can do pretty much anything there, stream anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be gaming related. producers reached out to portion to quiet the Instant Incomplete Music and all that The Subscriptions, we can do all that stuff once we have 50 likes. Poor man, fan 105 right here.
    28:41
    So we're going to try Twitch. The other option was YouTube. Thanks, Chris Stevens. I'll be on there, he says. But thank you very much. So we're going to try to bring this all on to Twitch next week, Monday at 830 Central. And then we're going to try Twitch. And if Twitch doesn't work out for whatever fucking reason, then yes, we'll end up at They've been holding you back for over eight years. They're looking at ways to sort out your Solo stores for now. Send me a photo. You linked it in the chat in vicarcy.com for me on twitter doofyisen откpwin revenge Live if the time sin We're nothing about pinball. So there are some people out there that are watching, listening to us that know zero about pinball. They have no interest in pinball, which is awesome to me. So what I'm going to say, this is my one serious moment for the night. I talk about stars and I light up because I'm the money guy. I'm like, oh, money. I don't want your stars. I don't need your stars. You want to give them? That's awesome. The best thing you guys can all do for us is just tell people where we are, what we're doing, what we're about. Yeah, and I'd like to keep the chat as fucking ridiculous as possible. Yes, get the word out that we're going to Twitch. Get people, like I said, pinball or not. Just say, hey, there's this podcast. I'll be honest, if I feel like the chat is just dead or we're back to three viewers, then we might have to go to YouTube if that's where the Google search will take them. So I want to try Twitch. We're going to try Twitch next week. We're going to stick with it until – unless we're unhappy. So Twitch will be the next stop. We always have YouTube.

And he dropped some nuggets and everyone's debating, is it Back to the Future? Is it, what was the other one? Harry Potter. I think that was the biggest hint. Well, yeah. He basically said Harry Potter. You better like Stern coming up here, is what he said. Yeah. Which I got from Twip, by the way. So, this weekend pinball. Jeff, we love you. Yeah. But then, you know, he said, you know, we look forward to the future and he put emphasis on the future. You're leaning towards Back to the Future? Because I'm pretty sure he literally just said Harry Potter. And that's going to do it for today, but bear with us till the end and we will see you I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, but let's read it, okay? There have been a couple brands that I've always felt were unicorns in the business. Batman 66 was one. Really? I don't think so. Beatles is one. Yeah. There's another one or two that George and I are futzing around with. Probably many of you are already aware of my relationship with Harry Potter, but I will not go any further than say I have a relationship with Harry Potter, it should say, and maybe We'll see you one day.
    33:43
    One day never. We'll see. I don't know. It's not making any sense, Jeff. Your quote isn't making any sense. So you better like Stern a lot and maybe one day you'll have a Harry Potter game. Joe Kaminkow. So he said Harry Potter like six times, dude. Yeah, he is just riling up the crowd, I think. You don't think it's Harry Potter? No. He literally said Harry Potter like three times, bro. Did he say Harry Potter? He said it three times. Let's indulge you for a second here. Clearly, you are reading Twip. Okay. Let's pretend for just a moment that Harry Potter is coming out. I need a moon pie. You don't need a moon pie. Ugh, I'm still diabetic from the last one. Okay, so it's going to be a kapow thing like Batman 66, right? Yeah. Now, do they get assets? Assets. Do they not get assets? Do they get... Joe Kaminkow, baby. He's gonna get assets. Yeah. Did you see Laser War? Yeah, yeah, those are some assets. Yeah, they couldn't even get the laser tag.
    34:52
    He's gotten significantly better at acquiring assets. Could you imagine now if you were like, we want the laser tag license, they're like, yeah, that'd be $10 and a Snickers bar, please. Yeah, no doubt. But back in 87... Oh, shit, that laser tag was like... Do you remember those commercials? I don't want to go too far off tangent, but like Laser Tag. Too late. Yeah. Those commercials look like Laser War. Laser Tag was like the greatest toy for a kid ever at that point in time. You basically shoot each other. Yeah, exactly. All right. Okay. All right. So let's go into chat. Were you done? I'm done. Okay. Just checking. Are you in general or just about Harry Potter? Just tonight. Because in general, no, I'm not. But Harry Potter, yeah, I'm done about it. Go ahead.
    35:32
    Rachel Lilgee. I didn't watch a single thing, so please tell me what to catch up on. Okay, we will get there. Tony Scuderos is Joe Kamilto.
    35:41
    I don't know why that makes me chuckle. Tony, we might all get banned on Twitch after one week. Hey, Tony, that's fine. This stream is like going to the bar and chilling. Absolutely, Mike Williams. Are you going to upgrade the ShitterNet first? The ShitterNet is fine, guys. I have to upgrade my capture card. The capture card needs to be upgraded. I have a $20 capture card. It should probably be $150. Evan siento The O 나� traView The Bells and Chimes tourney was sick. Tish Edwards, big love. So that's the one I saw. I watched the Bells and Chimes tourney. Jessie J was on there. I chatted with her a bit and towards the end. And then I talked with Tish a little bit and Frieden was there. So we had three tribe members represented. Yeah. Well, Jessie's not a tribe member. Maybe she might be. Later. Send me some more Tim Tams. Jamie Schmidt's Hoggis forklifts, Carl Lutz, I don't know what that is. Only JJ could do Harry Potter right, Neil Carlson. Yes, I agree, but if it's a Kapow title, who knows, man. Yeah, Mike Williams is right. It'll be Stern's first $20,000 machine. You know, with everything that's been going on lately with Guns N' Roses and stuff, I could see them putting out a Kapow title and saying, you know, the floor is $10,000. To learn more, visit Winning выいく, you can get a premium model maybe with a topper for 10 grand, that you get a limited edition for 14 or 15 and then those go I wouldn't say 20 but maybe like 18 get like a super ultimate yeah it'll be interesting, you know, we're gonna make 100 of these for 18 grand I don't think they're doing that, I just well, they may look at us they They made 80 Batman Super Ali's and they charged like I think those are $14. And what else did they have in them besides everything else? What do you mean? What special things made them? I didn't say there's anything special. I'm just saying that's going to be the price structure. Oh, so that does nothing. Yeah, that does nothing for me. Let's see. What else? Eric Brown Walker. Hey, Eric. I hope JGP is back to the future. Yes. Brian Rager. What's the big deal with Harry Potter? I don't get it. Movies suck. I watched the movies. Excuse me. I watched the movies. They were good movies. I'm not a fan. It happened kind of past my whole thing. Oh, you're not a Back to the Future fan? No, Harry Potter. Oh, Harry Potter. Yeah. What's the deal with Harry Potter? I don't get it. Movies suck. So, yeah, I don't get it either, to be honest, Brian. It's not one of my dream themes, but I know a lot of people out there would like it. And I've been on a lot of the Disney rides, you know, or at Universal Studios. They have a ton of the Harry Potter rides. They're immersive. They're cool. I mean, it's a cool little, if done correctly, it could be a cool world under the glass. It could be very cool. It's cinematic like that.
    39:09
    Kapow would ruin it, no doubt, Neil Carlson. Yeah, you know, it's 50-50, but I think you're kind of right. I would lean towards, I don't know.
    39:18
    Brian Cosner brought up a good point, though. So he said, you know, would it be a reskin because Batman 66 and Beatles are both basically remakes. I'm sorry, say that again. So Batman 66 was a reskin of Dark Knight, I believe, right? And then Beatles was a reskin of Sea Witch. You know, they made some tweaks and did some different things, but would they just do that and pick a layout or would they start from scratch with something like Harry Potter? Yes, they should do something with Scratch. They should. I think people would lose their shit.
    39:55
    Well, Batman 66 was very well received. See, that's the thing. Like, Beatles for... Because, you know... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. It was well received for, like, three reasons. One, the art package. You didn't see art packages like that. Franchi did the Beatles, too, and that was not as well received. It was well received. They didn't sell that many. Because it was priced out. Okay, that's fair. Yeah. No, Batman 66 was a hit. Yeah, because $7,500 got you a lot of game. It got you a lot of game. It was coded by one of the best coders ever. It was one of the first LCD screens from Stern, and it had the art package of Franchi. I mean, it was a perfect presentation of a pinball machine. Forgive me here. I know I'm supposed to be a pinball expert with my podcast. Who coded Beatles?
    40:42
    George Gomez. You know what? Like, no, I'm usually pretty good with this. I know most of the coders and the designers. You give me a game. You know, we need to play that game someday. Jesse J. Did you see my day drinking? I did. Jesse, you were doing great. No, like normally you give me a game. I can tell you who designed it and who coded it and who did the art. But I can't for the life of me. Beatles.
    41:07
    I know Franchi did art I know Gomez helped with tweaking the design of Sea Witch but I don know who coded it Interesting Yeah So Beatles is low on resales as well you know because people when they get them they like them They tend to stick in a collection Yeah, you can get a Beatles now. You're right. They're fun, though. Beatles is a great game. It priced everyone out, though. That's all it is. The price wasn't right. That's all it is. It was eight grand, right? We wish you happiness and nóI thank you nóil!
    42:04
    Should podcasts these live shows? What? Jesse J., I'm so sad that podcast listeners won't be able to see Ian's throat at camera just now. Did I throw it at the camera?
    42:21
    Alright, so anyway, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about all that stuff. What else was out there, guys? What else on the expo, the virtual expo? If Beatles came out at a pro price, it would have sold out? Yes, but it would have been called The Beatles, as in No Band and The Bug. And it would have just been Beatles on a playfield. Oh, I see what you did there. See what I did there? Yep. All right. Okay. You talk for a bit. I'm going to go look up this Beatles thing. I can do that.
    42:47
    So, Jesse J., cost your soul and two kangaroo skins at a minimum. What does a kangaroo skin go for? I don't think... So, Jesse J., tell me about this. Do you know anything about the Great Emu War? Emu? Emu? We call them emus here, but sometimes I hear people say emu, you know? That's just wrong. The big giant ostrich. Emu. Emu? Emu? I can't even say it. E-mu. Emu? Emu. Jesse J., have you heard about the Great Emu War in Australia? It's a real thing. Were humans fighting the emus? It's a real thing, man. Google that shit. It's crazy. I'm picturing some guy in a loincloth punching an emu in the face. Medals, I'm not in the great emu war. Did they? I can't, why can't I say that word? I, emu, emu, whatever. John Carson, wrong. Cool story bro. It's emu, yeah, you're emu. Emu. All right, so. I'm off the rails. Okay, we're at the Beatles gold here, what do we got? Software, Dean Grover. Okay. So, what else did he do? Oh, he did the Star Wars Home Edition. Okay, so he's got a resume. Dream, Spider-Man Home Edition, Safecracker, and Kongo.
    44:45
    Dean, we would love to have you on the show. Please tell us about coding. Alright, so Dr. John, private jokes not allowed. Anyway, my people died for your right to carry kangaroo scrotums, Jesse J. Not true, Jesse J. I can carry kangaroo scrotums all I want. I didn't need anybody to help me with that. Alright, so the great emu award, if I'm not mistaken, I've done a little bit of reading into it. It's a fucking Friday. It's a real thing. I got some fucking pinball things we can talk about. I'll do it. But I got something to talk about here about these emus. So the emu war was essentially an overcrowding of emus. And I'm pretty sure if I'm not mistaken, they had to call up the Australian military to dispatch all these emus. And they took like attack helicopters and machine guns to these giant roving masses of these big ass birds. In the Arnott House les Getty Outro Of This Game And You've got to be the emu. Get these motherfucking choppers out of here. Then he'd run away. Let's go, guys. Get the fuck out of here. Oh, so ridiculous. Yeah. Samuel L. Jackson would be the head emu. And then yeah. Why do you think non-pinball people listen? Mike Williams, I don't know why anybody listens. Because when we talk about pinball shit, nothing. When we talk about the great emu war of 1977, and I've said that word not many times in assimilationist.com

    Peter Morin, Who hasn't choked an emu, says Scott Voigt. Dr. John missed it by a year. I didn't mean to imply that, John. I know you're not that old. You're what, like 70, 100? Oh, man. I'm not good with ages. Either way, Dr. John, you're a scholar and a gentleman. Sorry. www.stern.com 24.
    49:49
    25. 26. Ian and I make it an art form. How are we having attention about your country? Because, yeah, we go from pinball to kangaroo scrotums and fighting emus. Beat that. All right, that's enough pictures. Now I will share them with you guys. Give me two seconds to work some magic. So, yeah, Ian's going to keep working on that. But, yeah, any pinball stuff, guys? I mean, because we're light this week, obviously, but we're still having fun, so who gives a shit because, you know, we don't get paid. You guys don't pay us, so, yeah, it's fine. Thank you for watching. So, Ian brings me back down to earth once in a while. I don't know. Right now, I'm letting you just go.
    51:03
    Run, my man, run. I'm just going. All right, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to delete. Mike Williams, oh, wait, you're going to talk pinball? I guess it's time to go to drink refill. Yeah, the boring stuff's coming up. In today's news, Keith Elwin beat another 10 people in pinball. Jeremy Schmitz, what did you, oh, did you, oh, you sold that, sorry, Jeremy Schmitz says he just sold a game to Dave Brennan. Dave Brennan was teasing a new game. That was at, was that Supersonic EM? That thing looked pretty nice. So, I saw that one. I was tempted, but I just don't have the room. I really want a cool EM in my house, but I need, I need some room. Jesse J.: Jesse Drew Special Tangent Episode needs to happen. Jesse J.: That does need to happen. You and I need to get on Skype and just record some ridiculous nonsense. Let's set up a date for that and we'll do it. It'll be awesome. We'll talk a little pinball. We'll talk about some nonsense. We'll talk about Australia versus America and life will be good. It'll be fun, I'm sure. All right, there you guys go. The Great Emu War, okay? Oh my God. Ian's got a bunch of World War II pictures of emus. No, this is before World War II, in fact. Yeah, this is all the emus that they had to destroy. Oh my God. The Great Emu War. Welcome to Australia, bitches. Oh, Jesus. Jessie J, I'm glad to hear it. You'll be hearing from my people. Me, she says. Oh, man. That is too good. So cute. God damn funny. Jesus. I'm glad to hear it. You'll be hearing from my people. Me, she says. Oh, man. That is too good. So cute. We'll see you next time. The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. Don't forget to go to Facebook, check out our videos because you gotta see these pictures. If you're listening in your car, you won't quite get the concept. We're giggling and laughing. These pictures are- The dude kind of looked like Jesse. Grandpappy? Ridiculous. We know about Jesse's grandpappy now. He's a vet in the emu war. This might be the greatest tangent we've ever gone off on. We've done some tangents in our day, but this one is really ... That's my favorite. So there's an emu with a World War I helmet and a cigarette hanging out his mouth. Yes. This is exactly... All right, Mike Williams, this is exactly why people need to tune in live. Podcasts just don't cut it. Yes. I get it, man. You're right. You're right, man. I get it. Because this is magic. Mm-hmm. Like, you know, Ian and I were talking about how sometimes our wives get a little upset because we do this every week. And I told him, I said, hey, maybe we should just do this every other week or every third week. And Ian goes, no. He goes, I have way too much fun with this, which I agree. Absolutely. We couldn't do this every two weeks or every once every two weeks. Friday is back. Jesse J. He won the Medal of Honor for this. That's Jesse J's grandpa right there. Jesse J's grandpa choking the emu. Oh, man. Too fucking funny, guys. Yeah. Go to... What other pinball podcasts are you going to get this at? Seriously. www.willywonka.com I can keep large amount of change in my roost scrotum. Thank you Scott. Very nice. I'm going to try to reign us in a little bit. I don't know if I can do that with the sync playing in the background though. Obviously if you're listening in your car, I would highly recommend just going on our Facebook page. This will be posted. It will be episode 77. Sorry, Dr. John, Facebook isn't banning us. They just made it where we can't get stars and they're not playing nice with us. They're not giving us anything in the background stuff. We're not getting any how many listeners, how many people commented, you grew this much. We're not getting any kind of data. We don't want to make money on this. I mean, that's fine if we do. It helps us. Yes, we want to be able to because we do have costs and stuff and we just want to be able to recoup some of those costs. Game headache

That show was off the rails, bonkers. And Dr. Pin admittedly got a little drunk. Of course. He had. We have that effect on people. Yeah, he had, he said six or seven drinks, and by the end of it, he was, he was goofy. www.willywonka.com John Popadiuk, Bob Betor, Chief of Staff, Brian Kossner, French, said it'd be out tomorrow. Well, hopefully it is tomorrow. Yeah. I can't wait for you guys to listen to it. We just had a lot of fun, and they were, you know, we were just talking about all the stuff that's happening, and it was a good time. Oh, man, it got nutty. It got nutty. Okay, so on to Kaneda. Every podcast needs poor man's energy, says Tish. Fuck yeah, you're right.
    63:01
    So, I just wanted to kind of talk a little bit about the Guns N' Roses kind of mania that's going on, man. People are really, really taken to this game. What do you think? I think depending how many people get this in their hands before the end of the year, this could be game of the year. Ooh. Well, yeah, I agree. I agree 100%. Because if... You need to get these games in people's hands so they can vote. Here's what... It's probably already won light show. Yes. Oh, yeah. Because people can already tell that's probably going to be the best light show of the year. And probably best sound package. I don't know if that's won best sounds and animations. The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. and more. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please like, share, and subscribe to my channel. And I'll see you next time. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. Bye I agree with that. I'm just saying it's interesting that after all these years of being in the top three, top four, you know, it's finally happened. So here's your top ten. Here's your top ten. Number one, Medieval Madness. Number two, Guns N' Roses. Number three, Jurassic Park from Stern. Number four, Pirates of the Caribbean from JJP. Number five, Attack from Mars. All the way down to number five. That's huge. Because Attack from Mars hit the top spot a few times last year. Yeah, it tickled it. A couple of times. Tickled it. You know what my biggest take... Go ahead, finish the top ten there. Tickled it. Number six, Elvira's House of Horrors. Number seven, Monster Bash. That's pretty far down for them. Yeah. Number eight, Iron Maiden. Still killing it though, man. Number nine, Twilight Zone. And number ten, Lord of the Rings. The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Tim Kitzrow, Scott Danesi. You know what it's all about. Because they use the top one. Yes. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. Just kind of fly. You bump it up. Yeah. Because if you add another level to a game, let's say... They always take the top score. Well, right. But what if... But I'm saying, if you take... Shit. Give it... Metallica has a new updated version of it. Tish, Laser Warrior is number one. Thank you, Tish. Of course it is. Said nobody ever. Tish did. It's all I need. Thanks, Tish. Oh man, that's too good. So, yeah, so Medieval Madness, every so often, I think every time a new game comes out, I feel like the old owners come out and put in new reviews.
    66:46
    Because that game isn't always over 9 points, but every time this kind of thing happens, it gets up to like, yeah, 9.1 or something. All right, let's see here. GNR is too easy. I think the Ellies will sell out. Tony, too many Stern fans will outvote JJP fans. Brian, yeah, as long as they can get out some of these games, but I don't know. That was my point, though, because if they get a lot of guns and roses in people's hands,
    67:15
    they might have a chance. But yes, I agree. We're probably looking at Avengers or possibly Turtles. All right, and GNR won't win them all. I know they won't win them all. Absolutely. I think Chats and Layout will still be a Keith Elwin for him to lose. Avengers might still take that. But, you know, Game of the Year is obviously the big one.
    67:39
    They might split some categories, of course. Is Stranger Things going to win anything? Is Rick and Morty going to possibly win theme integration? You don't think so? What about lights?
    67:57
    Because you think Guns N' Roses. So, if it weren't for Guns N' Roses, Rick and Morty might have had a chance with lights. Thunderbirds, question mark? No, Thunderbirds isn't out this year.
    68:07
    Because that light show on Rick and Morty. Hey man, they had a shot. Hot Wheels has a great light show too, but they don't have a shot. No. Tim Lee, sorry, they don't have a shot, man. Hot Wheels has a hell of a light show though.
    68:20
    Yeah, interesting. It is. Ari D Nana The Air. Not ready for the theme music? I'm ready. Thank you, sir, may I have another? Poor Man's Pinball Tribe. Thank you, sir, may I have another? Poor Man's Pinball Tribe. Thank you, sir, may I have another? Poor Man's Pinball Tribe. Wait, no, yeah! God damn, that kid's late. Goddamn, that gets loud. All right, here we go. Here is the most up-to-date Tribe List.
    69:28
    Starting with Ryan Kuyper. We got Martin, listener number 15. He's in the process of moving from Florida to Wisconsin to get closer to the poor men. That's how dedicated Martin is. Brad Hopkins, you saw him on chat earlier. Martin hasn't been in chat, has he? We need him in chat. Yeah, you know, like I said, he's busy. He's busy moving. I know, he's moving. Eric Brandwalk, we saw him in chat. Mike Williams in chat. The Valley Company, Subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Co., Inc., Mirco Playfields, Scott Danesi. Billy Wyjay is always posted as the poor man's pinball podcast. So if you guys see him, say hi. Chris Groves there. We see him in there cracking eggs of wisdom on us. Jonathan Hall in there being sarcastic as ever. Let's see. Lee, we need you back to Christopher Franchi. That'd be nice if he showed up every once in a while. Jerk. Chris Chandler always there. Tish. Dr. John. Tish always fucking killing it. Dr. John always fucking killing it. And Brian Kossner, always fucking killing it. So Drew, we have a new tribe member today. And this tribe member, she has been with us for quite a while. We met her at District, what is it, 82, right? Because he had 82 pins. Yep, now he's like District 112. He should be District, well it's like the, yeah, it's like isn't the, the... Who buys more pins, Dave Brennan or District 82? District 82 does, yes, by far, by far. I don't know by far. Yeah, but we... We have a new show every week. It's something new. Luckily, Drew and I, this is so cool about this hobby, we got invited over to District 82 to basically do some tournament color commentary, because obviously they didn't want us for our knowledge. But we got to do that show. It was an all-day event. It was a long event, but fun. It was fun. The only thing, it sucked we didn't get to play enough pinball. They didn't play enough pinball. But it was a good time. And such amazing games in such amazing, pristine condition that I just... I want to shout out, and I still haven't played it. I look at it and I just still think about it. It's just so... It is. I think about that Indiana Jones all the time. It's awe-inspiring. That fucking game lights up like the Ark of the Covenant did in that movie. Just picture 90 games and maybe 60 or 70 of them, you're like, I want to have these. Because obviously there's some that people just don't like for subjective reasons. But yeah you're like more than half of these games I would love to have better than those games better with those games that were all the people we got to meet while we did that show because you and I really didn't know anybody there Eric came with us so Eric Eric was right with us when we we literally never met any of these people in person yeah it was so fun so we met a ton of people but one of them ah we do a drumroll Rachel Lilge Lilge We're going to go with Lilgi. Yeah, we were always talking about her rap name, Lilgi. So, Rachel, congratulations. You are now the next tribe member. So, Rachel was, I got to tell you, she was one of my favorite people of the day. She was awesome. She stole the show. She was like no nonsense.
    73:07
    She's sassy and entertaining and sweet all rolled into one. Yes. That's why I love her. You want to go for a hug, but you're pretty sure she might hurt you first, but then you go for it anyway, and then she gives you a great hug. That's Rachel. She's an amazing, amazing person. So I asked her to come up with a few things for us to talk about. So Rachel recalls playing Addams Family in the 90s wearing roller skates while at the local roller rink, which is pretty badass. I want a picture of that, Rachel. Yeah, I would like to see that as well.

And they are interesting. Like the artwork in older EM games is something that always draws me to old EMs. That has eluded me so far. I've yet to have an EM. The closest I got was Stars, which is like an EM chimes with the solid state. But I want a cool EM game just to put in my game room. Awesome. Jake Johnson,
