Look at this. Freaking beautiful creature from the black lagoon. Pretty hot. So here's the tournament area, where when I went to bed last night I was third, but now I'm like 19th. So if I play one good game of one of those EMs down there, I'll be back in it. But I don't know if I want to be competing and doing commentary at the same time, because that would suck. Now, I'm going to be doing the commentary for the finals. but we only have enough cameras for like two machines and there are 12 games in this bank so we're gonna have to figure something out.

People are walking around putting stickers on games, and I don't like that. I brought a bunch of JetFlix stickers, but I'm afraid to, like, hand them out.
14:55
All right, what's over here? So here's the multi-morphic booth. They do Lexi Lightspeed and stuff. They're doing a talk right now, I believe, out there. They're announcing four new games, and we're going to try to stream this because I've never seen Lexi Lightspeed on the internet. Something I need to build are these black covers that they have for their pinball machines.

18:46
There's a Maryland taxi. I think you have to pay to come in for the day. So, this, yeah, Big Lebowski, that's what we're streaming.
19:12
Yo, we got a lot of jealous people on the internet right now, man, that they're not here. Oh, well, you should be here. Exactly. Dang. I'm looking at your camcorder. What am I looking at? Wearing it's making it easy to, like, not jiggle around and stuff like that. It's looking pretty well. It's tiring my arms out, though. Oh, boy. All right, so I think we're going to... I mean, they're working on stuff. I don't know that I want to, like, bug them.
19:38
I'm going to shake your left hand. My man. danger, he's going to put your Lebowski over thousands of people on here. We were at the set yesterday, maybe, what, come and work with us a little bit. Yeah, rock and roll. We have one of the coils of the bolt saw, now broken, so we're going to replace it. Great. So as soon as that one's up, I will make sure you go first, because that's easy. Rock and roll. I can do that. I think I'm going to set up my equipment around it right now. Yeah, sure. Obviously not to get in the way, but, and then, yeah, once it's up and running, you and I will battle, and we'll just let it run for a little bit. Set it up, like, 10, 15 minutes. Okay.
20:27
I'll hold off, I'll hold off, I'll hold off. No, no, no, no, but, hold on, let me see how we do that.
20:35
I know what we can do. Hold on. Yeah. That's Jop, ladies and gentlemen, from Dust Pinball. We'll take a machine on the right. As soon as that one is ready, we'll take one on the right. They're now trying to put a new one in. Well, I don't need to necessarily play it. I don't want to cut people in line. I just want to set up and show it out to the world. Okay, yeah, but you have to play it. Oh, obviously. You and me have to play it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously. Obviously.
21:05
Damn, yeah. Go. We're dropping a few frames right now on the internet because we're moving around so much. But once we post up, we'll be good. Okay? Okay.
21:40
It's just because we're moving around so much that it's... It's hard for it to keep up with us, I guess. If that makes sense. Give me a cap in chat if you know what the fuck I'm talking about. Donate to kids. It should have stabilized.
22:00
Oh, we'll get some people to play for sure. Remember, we also have full throttle over there to possibly show... I've got to put this damn thing down. Oh, it's killing my arms.
22:17
Let's go, man. What's Comcast's excuse? You lost your ball again. Rock and roll. We take one on the right, she's busy playing. We squeeze in, we play our game, have some fun and then we open the door. Awesome, yeah, I'm into it. Alright, so I'm going to set up on the right. Yes. Can do. You can do already because I'm going to get you to stand on the right. Wait, what do you mean? Uh, it's everything's on the side. Okay. Yeah, so it should be good. Cool. Okay, and I'll follow. All right, we're going to go set up on the right machine there.
23:32
Should be good. We're going to be dropping a few frames, guys. Don't sweat it. Everything's going to be okay.
23:47
And the proceeds from the lawsuit. Yeah, no shit. Um guys is everything looking okay The frame should have stabilized again because I put the thing down Beat 9 I know Tommy Skinner from The Slippin' Podcast is here. I don't know who else, really.
24:51
I don't know. You know, I think when I stream the game, I might have to drop the bitrate down a little bit. In order to make it sexy.
25:14
Yeah, I'm just going to have to drop a bit right down just a little bit. Good old drop frames, huh? Gotta love them.
26:23
We are on hotel internet, though. I might pull out my mobile hotspot for this, actually. Guys, that's what I'm going to do. I'll pull out the, uh... I'll do the mobile hotspot that should stabilize everything. Hopefully.
26:44
They call me Dr. Love. You were there last year? Oh, okay. Well, we'll see. I'm gonna record this local also when I go live with Big Lebowski so that if the internet's crap, we can still get like a clean shot of what's going on.
29:14
The internet's being like super buzzed, but hopefully my hotspot will make it better. I'm like sweating profusely, I'm so damn hungover.
30:14
Thank you. Yeah, right. That's awesome, man. Thank you. My man. Right. My man. Hell yeah, brother. Thank you so much.
31:40
They just gave me a prototype plastic that wasn't allowed on the game. We're going to see tournament finals, guys. It's going to happen.
31:57
It's going to happen. Okay, I've got to shut it down in order to set up, so I'll be right back. Thank you.
