It's finally complete. I like mine better. What is this? I have no idea. I just like it better. Karma. Just right. For those of you listening, what do you think we're doing? I would like to know. I would like to know. I always forget that most of our fans listen to this. I'm joking. But a large percentage of you guys listen. I don't know. I'm drawing a circle for making it complete. This is the propaganda. If you guys want to see what we're doing, check us out on Twitch. See what I did there? Now they've got to come see us. Poor man's pinball is our handles. Come look at us. See how beautiful my glasses are. Come look at our handles. Come look at our handles. Come look at our international sign of karma. I drew a circle, and Drew just put his hands together, those big, meaty hands of his. looks like he was holding a hamburger more burger please that's my new catchphrase it's like you know you got that going for you yeah meaty burger oh i love it just right um i'm gonna get the giggles bad today oh man i can tell already once those skittles kick in uh what you mean those weren't regular skittles i probably shouldn't i shouldn't add a dozen moving on uh so we got Yeah, we got the new tribe member, number 40. We got a little happy hour, and we'll tell you what we learned today, as we often do. CP Daddy, the glasses are to hide the scars. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that is good. That is good. So that's what we're doing today. Look at Ian with his checklist and glasses. Well, I'll show you my checklist right now. It's blank. It says read advertisement. He's making notes, trying to improve our show. Oh, is that what we're doing? Need international sign for karma. We have it. It's the hamburger. I don't like it. I like my circle. Fight Drew over karma. Karma circle. The giggles are coming. We'll fight to the karma. All right. Keep going. Fight to the karma. Okay. So. Oh, we're in trouble. All right. Keep going. Let's get serious. We're serious. You think this is a fucking game? Kyle says, I have a one-year-old, so 40 doesn't feel too bad. Yeah, 40 is fine, man. I don't feel. My wife just turned 40. She did really well with it. I'm turning 40. I'm digging it, man. It's a new chapter in everyone's life. I love it. Oh, Rachel said, welcome to the 40-plus club. There you go. We're almost there. So let's get right into it. Hey, Prison Pro 1. What's up, buddy? Poor man's personal news, man. Tell us what you got going on here. Well, I finally have news. I feel like I haven't had news in the last year and a half. You haven't. You said, I want to throw a laser war off a roof. That's true. And Oktoberfest, I never play. That was your news every week, right? Did I sum it up? It's true. Okay. But now. I bought another game. Oh, that's so awesome. So pretty. Using that stimulus money. Actually, I didn't even use my stimulus money. I saved up for a new game. I went with a Deadpool Pro, for those of you who don't know. So pretty. uh what i love about it mostly is as far as pros go it's pretty packed there's shots everywhere in that game which i really like i like the easy to follow code so it's like monster bash times five though it's like easy to explain to someone who's relatively new to pinball oh okay yeah but it goes on and on and on it's deep there's a lot of different things you can do there um they have good shots that are easy to hit and then there's more challenging shots you know i I like that George Gomez put that bash toy pretty much in a very bashable place. So people who want to play and do not play a lot of pinball, I mean, that's an easy target. But to lock that katana just a little bit to the right there, that's a lot tighter shot. So, yeah, I'm loving it. I put my hyper beams. I took them off Laser War, put them on Deadpool. We still got Laser War. People are asking me, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a Deadpool. Where's the Laser War? Isn't that amazing? The Laser War is right behind you. Just turn around. It's directly behind. Just turn around. It's right there. And it's fine. I'm going to, if I ever have some time, I actually have time this Wednesday. I'll probably sit down and work on it a little bit and figure some of that shit out. But on to Deadpool. Did get a couple mods coming my way from Lear Mods, actually by way via Mezel Mods. I got the Disco Ball. Oh, the Disco Ball is a must. I think you need to have the Disco Ball, especially if you're ever going to try to sell the damn thing. people ask you what mods you have and for deadpool i think the disco balls uh a very very necessity you need to have that i agree there's a few that are like you have to get and then the other one is the interactive chimichanga truck it has deadpool in it it lights up oh i didn't even see that yeah it ties in with the gi or whatever so uh i got those two and i also got like you know just like the rubber uh footies for uh both of the games um because hardwood floors well these games scratched the shit out of my floor so pinball life on those ones so if you ever want a must-have cheap mod that everyone could possibly use they're like little rubber footies i don't know how else to describe them but you can get them in any color and they're pretty inexpensive you get a set and you're good to go sweet man i so i came down here today i hadn't seen it yet he had the pin stadiums on it and that katana ramp with the pin stadiums looks freaking amazing so the katana katana ramp is just shimmering tony scoots i think you should put the pins in the background of the podcast yeah no uh not in this small yes i was gonna say we we'll take a picture maybe and show you what we're working with but yeah we couldn't put pinballs behind us no i can i can almost touch the bar from where i am like yeah that's that's the problem it's not a small room but it ain't a palace like some of you guys are your pinball porn pictures well you could have 12 machines down here if you had nothing else it's too bad i'm an entertainer man i need to have darts i need to have uh what is that you know ring toss i got then i got my collection of beer memorabilia well you know what we'll do maybe maybe do a video for him sometime sure do a little walk through because this uh you know we've talked about it before the the signage and some of the art pieces that Ian has down here are very, very cool. Some of them are just, you know, some are rare, some are just unique, some are funny. There's pictures of him and my wife I always look at in the corner. They're arm and arm drinking together. Drinking boots. Yes, boots. Yeah, the German boots. So, yeah, I think a walkthrough video would be kind of neat. You can show off your digs here. I can do that. You know, that'd be cool. Yeah, so what else, man? You getting more games? Bad ball news? Your news. Your personal news, dude. No, I think I did good. I think that was a lot of news. You did great, man. So, moving on. Can you see the ball better with these glasses as opposed to the pin shades? I haven't played with the glasses yet. You might become a better player. Or a worse player. Oh, I GC'd it. I could say that. I GC'd it. Day two, GC'd the fuck out of it. That's awesome. I haven't played it yet. Almost GC'd it with the ball one. I just had a killer ball. And, yeah, 400 million or whatever. The game is so fun. The GC was set at $500 million, and then my other two balls just beat the $500 million. Actually, I think I got two extra balls, too, and I just beat it. It's one of those things. No, it's super cool, man. Yeah, GC in a game always makes me feel good. How could it not? I know, but now I have to GC my GC, and that's a thing. That means you've got to play it more. Yeah, no doubt. Ian, you need prescription pin shades. Hey, Jockton, what are you doing? Jockton. You guys doing prescriptions over there? I'll send you my prescription. Left eye is fucked up. Right eye is fucked up. Fliptronic, welcome. Fliptronic is in the house. I call him Flipper. Flipper? Hey, Flipper. Flipper's in the house. He doesn't know that yet, but he does now. Tim Lee, Drew never had a GC. That's not true. Mostly. You know, Tim Lee, whatever. So, yeah. So, that's your pinball news? Yeah, that's it. I'm just reading Fliptronic. Since when did you call me Flipper? I don't know. Since now. Since today. Today, we're giving everyone a nickname. Since I have a special Skittles, I have special Skittles in my gullet. Oh, my God. It's going to get weirder. So, Drew got his Star Wars. You did? I did. You didn't even tell me. Did you bring the banner? We don't even talk anymore. Oh, you know what? I almost took it off the wall the other day, and I just forgot. Almost did. Well, you can take this banner because I'm a good friend. See what he did there. See what he did there, poking in the kidneys. So Star Wars, man. Let me just start by saying it's the best game I've ever bought. No. No, it's not. It's not. Sorry, sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry, I'm just giving you shit. I know you are. Go ahead. But once again, I've only played the Pro before this. So it's a comic edition premium, okay? We played the shit out of the premium. I didn't. Yeah, we did. We were at the Star Wars show, remember? That wasn't a premium. That was a Pro. They had all of them. I don't think I played the premium. That was a long time ago. I don't remember. We played a shit ton of premium. Well, whatever. I only remember the pro. Just correcting you. Okay. So, long time ago. Anyways. Yeah, the premium's good. I get this thing in the house, and I fire it up. It's got no mods. It's got no shaker. It's got no pin stadiums. And there are so many underrated things, I believe, about this game that people just don't talk about. and one of those is the light show. Okay. Light show is really good. There's a lot of inserts on there, the way they do it. The extra ball animation is very cool. And then I fire up the shaker motor and I hooked up the subwoofer to it. This thing is like next level. Everyone wants to know, did you buy the topper? You got to give them the update. I am still negotiating. Really? He didn't sell it yet? Well, here's the thing. when so he offered it to me for thirteen hundred dollars yeah when i before i even got the game okay and i was like yeah i don't know and he's like yeah that's the price it's the last one i have i sold one a little while ago for 1200 or whatever it was i said okay let me think about it you know and then i said we hadn't even finished the transaction with the game then after i get the game i'm so excited and i'm like yeah fuck it i'm just gonna pull the trigger i text them i texted him last week as you guys knew and then the next morning he's like hey he goes yeah i still have it he goes i don't know if i want to sell it and i'm like cold feet he goes without the right price and i said well what is the right price and now i think he's asking at least 1500 and like i think it's just going to keep going up so i i don't know drew your negotiation skills are so good Yeah, great. The more you talk, the higher the price goes. I know, I know. Like, what about, he's like $1,800. How about $2,000? You should have just said sold at the very beginning, and you'd have been $1,200 poorer. The conservative side of me took over, and I'm like, why am I going to spend $1,300 on an R2-D2? There's no fucking way in hell. So, you know, here, probably a reason you used to own it, pass. Oh, yeah. I don't know. It's probably not happening, so whatever. The topper's not coming. It is what it is. But that game, yeah, there's just so much good stuff about it, and the deep code, and the Hyperloop is way underrated. I don't know why more people don't talk about that. Well, they do. They like the Hyperloop. Yeah. It's just not a very easy thing to get going. I don't find it terribly difficult. I'm not a great player. Just ask Tim Lee. Okay. Tim Lee. Drew sucks at pinball. Okay, anyway. Go ahead. Anyway, so you got that, and the comic book edition is by far the best edition. Oh, my God. It's so good. So here's the real takeaway. Guys, if you've never seen the comic book edition, you've got to see them. Randy Martinez did the art. Fantastic. They fucking filled that thing up with just beautiful artwork. It looks great. so kathleen who i told you before she was like uh the you know she doesn't know pro premium she goes she sees the pro i told her i might want one someday she goes you're not getting that that thing sucks yep and i'm like what and she goes there's nothing on it and i said yeah i agree and then i bring this home and set it up and she comes into the room and she goes wow that looks pretty good yeah of course and i was like and i explained to her i said yeah i'm like it's different art and it's got the hyperloop and she goes oh that one actually looks kind of fun and i was like holy shit did my wife just say that like it was it was pretty crazy so you know kathleen uh approved it which is which is truly amazing oh that's cool man that is going up right next to it in the pinball room big old darth vader oh man i love it very very i was gonna say I can smell that vinyl. It smells very signage. Yeah, that's a good smell, man. I love that smell. So don't forget that. I won't. Here, put my key on it somewhere. Okay, I'll put it right next to the Deadpool poster. Okay. I see what you did there. I see what you did there. That's all right. That's cool. Does it smell like Zach? Yeah, Zach always smells like vinyl. What? What? That's Fliptronic. Flipper asked that. Flipper? Does it smell like Zach? Oh. Zach is more of a latex-smelling guy. As far as I've had. You've got to get real close, though. So anyways. And Flip It Out is no longer a smiler, clearly. Yeah, and they're gone. And we're on. So yeah, Kathleen approved, which is very cool. And now I'm still working on getting Meteor out the door because I have a line on a Swords of Fury and an Earthshaker. So I'd like to restore one, if not both of those games. I forgot. Could I add to my news? Let's talk about wives. My wife came down and she played Deadpool and she took a shot of, she was sipping a shot of screwball. And she may have had a few too many edibles. But she was a blast. We had a lot of fun. We were playing Deadpool and she sucked at it so badly. But, you know, she was still having a good time and she was flipping off the machine and swearing at it. And then her review was as follows. You know what? I can get a pinball machine with a, with a, with a bash toy any day of the week, or she called it a bobblehead. I can get a bobblehead any day of the week, any given Friday, I can get a bobblehead on the game. She's like, put that on your podcast. And I was laughing at her.

Okay, if we had 100 votes, how many go to Deadpool and how many go to Oktoberfest? I'd say 80. I'd say 90. Okay, that's going up this week. We're going to start doing these... Oktoberfest is no Hot Wheels. Yeah, Flipper, you got that. Has anyone done that, the Poll of the Week? That's a TWIP thing. Is it? Yeah, they do a Poll of the Week. I don't watch any of that shit. You're our sponsor, and yes, we do. You have it open right now. I watch them all the time. They're right here. One, one, cheese, one. I thought you meant a podcast. Thanks for the cheeses. All right, cheese slices everywhere. Let's get some cheese slices. No, I was just making that joke about the polls because, yeah, some people sometimes comment to us and send us messages that, like, we're stealing stuff, and we don't listen to all the podcasts. We don't know. I mean, you know, I listen to some of the main ones and this, that, and the other but a lot of this stuff like i i'm just be sitting on my desk and then this idea just comes into my head sure i probably got it from somewhere else and i'm like oh let's do this let's do that so yeah i have a i had to change a position in my company where now i instead of being a traveling salesman where i was able to listen to all the podcasts now i'm stuck in a store which i love because i'm real close to home um but i only listen to orby now i only have time for like one or two podcasts, Orby and Kaneda, and that's it. I am out of the loop on TPN now completely. Sorry, Zach. Not that I don't like them. I just don't have the time. I have zero time. Zero time. I find if you're in your car, it's easy, right? Oh, it's so easy. Because when I'm driving around, that's what I do. Absolutely. So I do listen to half a dozen a week or whatever. Yeah, I was listening to about six or seven a week. But if you're not in your car, then you're like, okay, I got to do this work. I can't just sit here and listen to it because my wife's going to be saying, for Orby. You know, what the hell's going on. Yeah. 10 bits for Orby. Bits for Orby. He's not going to get them though. We'll keep them. I will, I will take them for him and I will talk to him about them. And we will buy new machines. I said, Orby, I owe you a dime. Tim, Oktoberfest, Cavalier, Deadpool. Let's see, Oktoberfest is no Hot Wheels. Let's see here. Oktoberfest, Poles. Thanks, Ace Saint Jack. Poles. Poles. What else we got? Loser Kid. thank you for the cheers i didn't see that one pop up thank you man cheese slices cheese slices oktoberfest is a loaded game but art is definitely its weakest link i'd argue also cause that the shots aren't the most fun yeah because i don't even i mean the art it is what it is it's oh that's what i was gonna say um stern if you're listening are you listening i know you're listening hi zach hey baby uh how you doing mr sharp after seeing the comic book edition and like spending time with it don't ever do photoshop on any game ever again i don't think they're going to i don't care if that if you're using a movie property and the movie's called photoshop don't do it just don't do it what a pin that would be the photoshop pin the poor man on a roll no we got ideas at the top of ideas gary stern why aren't you hiring us but you said they wouldn't But Star Wars isn't that old of a game. Gary Stern comes on. He's like, all right, you guys are hired, but I need to hear your top three ideas. I'm like, brick. Every shot you miss, you brick. That's your high points. Photoshop. You don't have to hire an artist. You save the money there. And then a third title. We haven't figured it out yet. And then he would fire us. And then you Photoshop a brick on the next game. I don't know. I still like brick, though. It's a good game. I'd kick some Keith Elwin ass. He would have to really have to change his game to brick that many shots. Stan would probably do Karate Kid before Cobra Kai. Yeah, that's kind of come up lately. Like, what would get done first? Karate Kid or Cobra Kai? Yeah. What license do you think someone would put out first? Yeah, Cobra Kai is too hot right now, right? So maybe Karate Kid. It's more nostalgic, better soundtrack. I don't think Cobra Kai is a good show, don't get me wrong, but it's based on the nostalgic of the first movie. So to that point, yeah, Cobra Kai is cool, but it is about the first movie. Everything revolves around that first movie. And it depends if they're looking for a contemporary license or a, you know, because it seems like they kind of have this, I don't want to say a pattern, but, you know, they probably have some sort of thing where it's like, yeah, we're going to do something from this era, then we're going to do something new, then we're going to, you know, whatever there is. I mean, if you don't have Joe Esposito's, you know, you're the best of rock well i think that would be in either one i would i would make sure to do that we should have a joe esposito pen all right just pour your boozer that's fine pour your booze pour my booze um joe esposito pen you know what make it stern are you listening yeah orbital albert would do a good uh blog podcast about this where he could just go for like an hour about bricks lego pen no bricks is a game about bricking your shot because this has been brought up at least a hundred times on this show i'm disappointed in you quite honestly bricks is gonna have the world's greatest ramps they're gonna be so tempting to hit but whenever you hit a ramp you they deduct points but if you brick the ramps you get crazy points so when and if you brick x amount of games or x amount of shots you can build up your multiplier multi-pulse don't hit those ramps kids hit those bricks you gotta brick every shot i think ian three thousand stand-up ian had this idea probably back in episode six or seven i can hit our brick yeah i break a lot of shots brick away man brick away i love that game um yeah just just brick it all right anyway keep going okay let's get on with the show have we gotten out of the show yet no all right let's go no ladies and gentlemen the show starts now we skipped right ahead to happy hour yeah sorry sorry everybody all right let's go let's go oh this is supposed to be a 30 minute episode news brought to you by twip not a lot this week so we're just going to run through it quickly because we wasted so much time talking about bricks thanks twip but uh jeff addison and twip thank you so much for letting us steal your stuff even though you don't let us we just do it uh the twippies As we said, Saturday, March 27th. That is coming up quick. Yes. It feels like it's been a while. Real quick, a little... Hold on. Let me add to that. Yeah, go ahead. This Wednesday, the 28th, right? Wait, when's Wednesday? Sorry. No, that doesn't make sense. What day is it today? The 22nd? Yeah, I think so. 24th? Yeah. So the 24th, Drew and I will be on Orbital Albert's show, the Pinball Nerds podcast. We're going to do a red carpet with Orby. it's something that has been in the making for years and we're so excited to be on this show so can't wait he's he's over the moon we're over the moon we we think it's awesome and uh yeah it's gonna be an awesome show we're gonna make it super fun a super awesome show i keep going with the news but you said it not me uh well i just uh so as as most of you guys know um today on was it Today or yesterday? Yeah, today on Facebook. Today on Facebook, Franchi posted a tombstone, a super awesome pinball show, so we're all assuming that they are no more. Moment of silence? Yep. There we go. All right. You know, they have a great show. I've been listening to it for a long time. We consider both of those guys friends of ours. I never had any interactions with Dr. Penn prior to him inviting us on to his show, and we did their show. And I love that man. I mean, he is about as cool and genuine as they come. And even off the air, he was hilarious. And I was having so much fun talking with him. And Christopher Franchi is Franchi. You know, I love Franchi. You know this. I have a big man crush on Franchi. And I will forever worship his artwork because I think he does such beautiful artwork. um but yeah you know his show um i loved his show i loved but you know i was always and i've said this since their first episode the amount of editing and the amount of work that they put into that show even as i was a poor editor i mean it it exhausted me i almost was like how long could they possibly last with that and just because of the time it takes so much time to do what they do And I just appreciated the fuck out of that show for that reason, because all that effort they put into that show was it was so apparent. It was right there. It wasn't. And then they started getting all these crazy guests. So you add that on top of it. It's just it was such an incredible show. You know, that kind of show sounded like a team put it together, but it was really franchy with the editing. And he told us it took him about three days to edit a show. So, one, you know, burnout's a thing. But two, and I think this is mostly the case, Franchi's got three pins working on right now. And Dr. Pin's a fucking doctor. Yeah. When does he have time to do a show and be a father and a husband? I have a hard time selling paint and shit, and I have one kid. So, you know, cheers to you guys. We really love you. Yeah. Here's to Franchi and Dr. Pin for a great show. And don't forget Ed Van Der Veen. who helped him kick that off. Absolutely. You know, I just want to say, you know, like, Codds is like, you know, is this, what did he say, rip or clickbait? You know, Franchi is the type where he likes to promote himself and do some of that stuff. But I think this is probably the real deal just because maybe he is busy. I mean, I don't want to speculate too much because we don't know. But he did put it out there. Yeah, we'll take it the way he was presenting it. How about that? There you go. That's fair. That's fair. if he comes back like a canada then i'd be like motherfucker well canada's quit like 16 times yes that was just 2020 yeah which was really a confusing time for me because i didn't know if he was going to come back on or off and and then he's going to win another goddamn twippy but but so you know while we're kind of on this little podcast round up i mean i just want to i just want to salute uh the the ones that i listened there's a lot of good ones out there and once again it just has to do with time guys so if i don't mention you i'm sorry but you know i i almost always listen to the pinball network uh the pinball show um just another pinball podcast which is also on the pinball network is very awesome i listen to him all the time i can't remember his name i think it's joel someone correct me if i'm wrong that one's super cool um i listen to loser kid all the time shout out loser kid loser kid's good loser kid i love i love your guys show i love that one i'll drive around and just listen to and I can't wait to keep hearing, especially with the good guests you guys have and the banter that you guys have back and forth. Who else? Super awesome pinball show I always listen to, and that was easier because it was long, but they only did it once a month or whatever, so keep up with that. And Orby, of course, because Orby does the quick bites. Orby's like, if you're just going to go grab quick lunch, that's Orby. Fucking Orby is hilarious, dude. Hey, today we're going to talk about goats and pinball. Ready, go. He always says, every show, he starts off strong. He starts off like, all right, today's show, I'm going to give you the five reasons why you've got to be excited for Deep Root or Stern's Next Pin. I'm going to teach you five ways to get better at pinball. And then it's goats and pinball. And then it's like 30 minutes of the goat shitting in the shed and him chasing a swarm of bees out of his fucking pantry and talking about his teeth. And then at the end, he's like, all right, here we go, five things. The other day, and Orby, we love you. The other day, he talked to his son about how he had to get ready and they were going to have lunch. And this all went on during the show. And he's like, no, no, don't go. I'm going to make you lunch, and then we're going to go. I'm just going to finish this podcast here. And then he finishes. It's like another two minutes, and then he leaves. And I'm like, oh, my God, that's gold. Got to go make sandwiches. Yeah. Got to make some lunch. Oh, man. Super cool. So fucking fun. Super cool. It's got to be fun to grow up in that household. Feed the goats, says Pinball Doc. Oh, yeah, then Elwynn walks by. Yeah, his dog is Elwynn. Tony Scoots, where's Jessie J? I don't know. I haven't seen her in a while. She's busy. She's got a life, too, guys. Yeah. We don't hold it against them. No, definitely not. We're still working on that collaboration, too, hopefully. Yeah, it's a thing, too. Mm-hmm. Well, she doesn't want me. She wanted Drew on her show. We can collaborate with every country except our own. canada australia no one from the u.s wants anything to do with us they know too well loser kids like leaving now hey where'd loser kid go uh he's i think he's gone it's because most of them met us at the shows and they're like nope fuck those guys i know this one holds the other one's dick while he pukes in a urinal they're like we're done they're like nah see those guys that shit ain't a show that's just how they are yeah these guys we like listening to them we'll laugh at them but they're like that in real life yeah it's annoying that yeah that's what my wife says i don't know yeah she's probably at a bar actually playing pinball since they can do that yeah because they followed the rules yep prison pro you are right i just pissed off half our audience with that one um so yeah that's uh okay what else Oh, so the Super Awesome Pinball Show actually showed Alien gameplay. Did you watch that video? No, I did not. Pretty cool. You got to see some of the stuff in the Alien. I do agree with a lot of the people, though. Have you looked at that back glass? I don't know. I'll play it here for you. Maybe you can see. Not you guys. Sorry. Ian's kind of watching it. Fast forward. They didn't really do much with the art from the last package, and I don't know. once again art is one of the least expensive things on a machine i don't understand why these companies are not doing it uh let's see if i yeah you're probably not gonna be able to see it here Stephen Silver go ahead what now that ian has glasses everyone will come on the show since it's so high brow you know yeah it's true pretty fancy there it is it's just it's just the egg that's it ah yeah i see it you know so yeah i just the movie poster it's fine yeah and i'm not well that's kind of like kind of like a photoshop thing though right i mean essentially i don't know it's i don't know i think it's just a movie poster okay i don't know if that's photoshop are you okay with it yeah it's fine okay it's alien what the fuck are you gonna do i don't know hand draw the whole cast on there and that's that's what everybody wants of course well not everyone is smart like me with your new glasses have you seen me all right so go ahead all right what else we Yeah, what else? Keep going. We are going way too long here. Yeah, we are. What's the poll of the week, Drew? Not our poll. What's the best disaster-themed pinball machine? And what do they pick? So they got Dialed In, Whirlwind, Earthshaker, Meteor, Twister, Fire, Rescue 911, and Volcano. So is it the best disaster or the best pin? Best disaster-themed pinball machine. So the best pinball machine out of those, Dialed In. Yeah, Dialed In definitely wins. Whirlwind actually came up pretty strong. Dialed In won. It was. world win and then earthshaker over 300 votes for dialed in and about half as many for whirlwind yeah dialed in such a great and then earthshaker is almost 100 so it's a great pin it's just that theme's not the greatest but we've we've gone yeah we have let's keep going yep for sure what else we got what's this oh the stranger things topper do you see this it looks pretty neat yeah we posted it on our website so or on our page it's kind of got like that depth look yeah yeah like like space invaders they have the lights that make it look like you're you could in a tunnel yeah yeah

related but i always like when todd talkie takes the glass off and just bangs the balls against all the targets i'm like why am i watching this part yes i don't care if he gets the multiball or multiplayer or whatever multiplier by throwing a ball against all the targets and he misses half the time he's just whipping it in there and you're like the fuck is going on why am i watching this he's got the sausage fingers like i do yeah i love the burger fingers i love we're bringing it all together folks i love his videos because i love all that all the background stories that he has they're great you know when it comes to any title he has he's got some stories about him and i love that about tataki shit but god when he puts that but he just gives that handful of balls and just throws them in there like he's playing crap i know it's too funny all right jeff jeff thank you so much for giving us stuff to talk about today uh check out uh this week in pinball.com it's your news

because it is almost an hour already over under just right so uh in honor of one of our main sponsors flipping out pinball i thought this is sort of like and people saying that we rip people off you know and i don't give a shit because we do sometimes but so this is kind of like pinball market trends how did i do zach oh that hurts so bad it hurt me to even do that yeah i think you broke half our mics it's not pinball market trends but it's it's similar i did i break them that scared me so much um so what we're gonna do today uh i went through Pinside over the last 24 hours and I found about 20... Well, hold on. Michael Williams. Exposing the truth. There are a bunch of Pentagon UFO files that will be declassified next month showing UFO that breaks the sound barrier without a sonic boom. Wow. Wow. Is this a pinball show? Go ahead. Mike Williams, I love you, man. You want to talk pinball or you want to talk UFOs and lizard people? Can't we do both? That would be a good game, UFO and lizard people made by Stern. I thought a game we could play like, was this a UFO, a lizard person, or Florida man? Okay, this is what we're going to do. This is a new game. I don't know anything about this game, guys. It's not a game. It's a discussion. So I found about 20 ads on pin side Okay The only criteria was these were know regular condition games There was nothing like high restore There was nothing What Chat Glenn comes in. Hey, Glenn, what's up, buddy? He's like, what are the boys talking about? And Cavalier goes, UFO and lizard people. No, take a picture of that screenshot. We're putting that up on our page. Oh, shit. Because that describes our podcast perfectly. Yeah. UFO and lizard people. So what are the guys talking about today? what are the topics ufo and lizard people you know oh that's pinball shit solid i thought crab people won that war yep this is uh you know first off crab people that's ridiculous yeah you guys are just absurd now you're just making fun of me this should be called the poor man's everything show uh okay so i'm going to uh name a game i'm going to tell you tell you the price and uh you're gonna tell me if it's overpriced underpriced or just right cool man okay so once again all these games work all these games uh they're you know they're some you know players condition we're ripping off ourself remember i started this game like episode six i i don't have any original thoughts are you kidding me that's great we're bringing back the classic yeah let's do it man yeah so the first one uh we got party zone what what would you think a party zone would go for uh run of the mill party zone fun game 2500 to three grand oh you're 2150 he's asking all right yeah right there so that might be underpriced huh i would say so the way pinball prices have been going i would say well there's there's a lot in that game i'd say underpriced okay people like that game for the most part it has to be in a bigger collection well still what was funny was this was the first game that caught my eye when i said before i even thought of this idea and then i said holy shit maybe prices are coming back down yeah and they're not hang on sorry let's read okay yeah the next one is very interesting so it's a shadow they're talking about aliens and shit now on chat i love it right i want to know shadow okay the shadow how much would you pay for a nice shadow how much would i pay well a player's condition it's nice it's not three grand 4200 yeah i know okay i know if i was gonna guess what it's for sale yeah i was gonna say 35 to 4 i want so fliptronics at 3500 tim lee said 4600 here's my take on this and i could be wrong but i've been watching the shadow since i got into this business business we call it a business now folks i got glasses on we got we got 10 bits from doc burger hands we got this man aliens but here's here's what i find interesting because even people even a couple years ago i feel like shadows were 3800 for him 4600 so i think i think the shadow rich buddy and and now it's going to go up because i said this because i want one i think the shadow has maintained its value and has just been one of those games. It doesn't really go up or down too much. Really? Well, I find that Shadow has been going up and up and up. Not like the other games, though. Pinball Doc's got us. What does he say? I'll give you... All right, I'll fucking say it. Yeah, Pinball Doc. 2020 average was $4,458. 2018, they were $2,900. Boom. $2,900? Yeah. Really? Going up, baby. Up and up and up. Pinball Doc, I got you, bro. I got you. Maybe I was seeing ones that are higher end. I don't know. I wouldn't pay it, L.O. That was my guess on the price. Tim Lee, you're like Bill Gates. He doesn't know the cost of milk because he's so rich. How much does it get on the milk, Bill Gates? I don't know. I think he said like $12 or something. Tim Lee, how much for this pinball machine? I don't know, $5,000. It's a fucking Tim Lee, and I'm a badass. All right. A nice Harlem Globetrotters. see I'm not in the market for one of those I have no idea $2,300 that's too high for me I know it's a popular Tim Lee said $2,200 Mike Williams $4,500 come on Mike yeah $2,300 I think that's not bad $3,000 Rachel flips Rachel how are you I love you dear Tony Scoots $2,500 Good guess.

Oh, Pinball Doc, thank you so much. Thank you. Dante says $1,000. If it was $1,000, I would take two of them. Well, everyone has guessed every number. I don't know what you're doing. No one wins the second one because it was $4,550. Was there anyone close? Scroll up there. it's way too much it's a lot of work for me $4,500 Michael Williams okay Mike Williams you get another shirt again we were going to give him one anyway yep that's the joke okay back to a single one here BK2K Black Knight 2000 are these prices in American dollars? no more prizes I only have some of these shirts yes guys they are in American dollars so BK2K Nice condition.

We're at $6,800 for this Spider-Man V8 and Jeremy Schmitz, $6,800. Jeremy Schmitty. Oh, Schmitty. I think he cheated on Pinside. Okay. I don't even see where he even put his thing. He's right up in the middle. Okay, next up. He's glass. Next up for bid. Now we're just going to move it to an auction format. Next up for bid, we have a Ghostbusters Premium, one that's on my list, and I might go for this one. Go on, go on, go on, go on. Go to Ghostbusters Premium. Good shape. Good shape, good shape. What would you pay for it? Go to Dante's Mark, $6,800, $6,800. Emily and Dr. John, $8,900. Oh, I just thought of something. $7,200. I didn't want to interrupt all your awesome auction speak. Sold to Tim. Give me that money. We were talking about Troy South. Just for you guys who don't know, he's this guy who moves a lot of games in Illinois, all over the Midwest. and he is now part of Tilt Amusements with Trent. So that's very cool. Did you see that announcement? So he's going to handle all the sales, I think. So you still need to use games. He's the guy to go to, but now a bunch of new games and stuff. I mean, anything you need, Troy Smith is the guy. Troy Smith is one of those guys, though. You need to know him because if you're into collecting, all you've got to do is give him a list. Oh, man. He will find them. Every time I sent him something, or he already has them. Like, it would take, sometimes it would take a month or two, but he'd get back to me and be like, yeah, I got one now. Yeah. It was just awesome. He got me my Spider-Man. So, there you go. Love it. He got me Monster Bash. And he got me my Dracula. And he got, oh, yeah, he got me a lot of shit. So, that's, yeah, Troy Smith. That's awesome. He got me my Outrun. Sega Outrun. Tool. Where were we now? Oh, Ghostbusters Premium. Yep, Ghostbusters. 9,000. 7,200. Set your auction voice again. I can't. Okay. Cavalier. Awesome guy. Bought my Johnny Mnemonic from him. Cool. I want to play one of those. You derailed this so hard. I did. Yeah, let me go. Okay, I will let you go. Jeremy Schmitz. I think you're cheating again. $7,200. It was $7,000. Oh, Tim Lee said $72,000 as well. Dante, $68,000. Fliptronic, $68,000. Yeah, right in the middle, man. $7,000. That's actually a good price so that would be just right even though we're not playing that game anymore we're playing the auction block uh sold iron maiden vault edition so it's one of the newer ones it's got the leds nice shape what would you wait a vault yeah like the old stern yeah i vaulted it yeah iron maiden came out or sorry not iron maiden not iron man oh yeah i'm seeing i am yeah yeah I see what you did there. Iron Man Vault Edition. Iron Man Vault. Got it. So, you know, it's got the LEDs. It's got the upgraded stuff. What would you pay for one? All these people already put prices down. Are you doing Iron Maiden or Iron Man? Sorry. Iron Man Vault Edition. Rachel's in. Give a fuck. $7,200. Good job, Rachel. I love you. I love your style. $59.99. Well, just know, I think there's still some in stock. You can get them for $60. I wonder how this is when people are driving around listening to this. Oh, it's terrible. Terrible. Hey, all you drivers out there. How's the Carl Weathers? Hey, they don't have to listen. They pay with their wallets, or not at all. Skip fast forward through this shit. 55 says Tony Scoots, 58. Wow, you guys are not as good with this one. What is it? Iron Man Vault Edition. Oh, and the ad said blowout sale. Oh, okay. Does that matter? So they're probably asking for $7,000? No, $5,400. Nobody got that one. Womp, womp. Not that we're giving away. So the other one was another ad by the same gentleman. A blowout sale of Baywatch. What would you pay for a blowout sale of Baywatch? $5,800. $5,800. It was in that beach house that one time. Yeah, $3,500. $3,500? That's a good guess. We're not quite there, but that's a good guess. What do we got? 34. EBW, 32. CP Daddy, 4,900. Baywatch isn't there yet. It might get there someday. 3,200. If Pam signed it, ooh. 38.50. 2,000. Did she put them on the glass? 3,600. Drew, inappropriate. 38.50. I'd like to think she did. The last blowout I had was with my last visit to Taco Bell. Chris Chandler. Oh. Taco Bell jokes are right at home here. Yep. so that 2800 2200 that baywatch he's asking a lean 3750 what i say uh he said 3500 i think oh man i was close yeah you were close that just shows you what's happening last action hero i know a lot about this and this makes me sad uh is that up to three i'll give you a hint go higher three don't go that high 37 50 you did it 37 50 and ruin this game for us right after i ruined it for us by starting it in the first place all right man we got one two we got four you're close yeah we got four left we got a sea witch nice sea witch it plays it's all complete chris chandler i love how few fucks ian cares about this game chris every time i do anything for this pot like ian a bitch and he'll be like i come up with all these ideas and i'm like okay and then i come up with an idea he goes your idea sucks i never said that and i'm I'm having a great time. Shut up. He uses his body language to tell me, and he doesn't let me rub his glasses. So Sea Witch. Suck it. Suck it. It's a nice Sea Witch. It's in good shape. The play field's in pretty good shape. I think I saw this one. This one's tempting. I'll take away my vote because I think I saw this one. We got 6,200. We got 4,700. We got 4,000. We got 3,500. Drew has 800 games on this list. Rachel says move on. Then we'll die. Well, you know, I'm the asshole, guys. Yes, yes you are. Yes you are. So you can get the Sea Witch for the lovely price of $3,500. Do you know what we haven't done in a long time, Ian? We have three more left, but I want to scoff on this tangent because I like to do stuff like this. We haven't done a drink break in a long time. A little cocktail break? I don't even know if I loaded that in. Let's see. No. No? I don't think I do. I think after all this time, and yeah, we haven't done that in, God, it's been forever. No? Not there? No, but we can. You want to take one? Yeah, we're going to take a quick cocktail break, guys. We'll be back. We'll be back. For all the times you made your pain on my best game Because your ball can't stay down and you can lay You think you broke my heart with super jacks that lack In the space for a five-mac truck flipper gap And I didn't want to sell you now Cause I didn't want anything in your space that's not a ten Cause you look good with your lights on So I guess I won't be moving on And I think that Dwight just made new code And I won't hold back But he should just know that Tim Lee don like you and he likes the black night And I never wanted expensive night lights But I been so caught up in your art And didn see all of these flaws Cause I was wrong All I'll ever do is turn you on Cause if you like the way you look that much Ghostbusters, go ahead and flip yourself And if you think that I still wanna play Ghostbusters, go ahead and flip yourself And when you told me you were an old-fashioned theme And your lower playfield used to be bees And every time you told me, push that blue button And try to make me forget this game's just not fun And I didn't want to play again Cause I didn't wanna fall asleep, this game just ain't too deep But I like you with your lights on, so maybe I'll be holding on And I think Dwight should write something that makes this game not crap He and Christopher Franchi know that Pince, I don't like you, but they hate everything And I never play you and not get to the end But I've been so caught up in your art Drawn with such detail in heart But now I know This game won't sell in a Kmart So if you like the way you look that much Then monsters go ahead and flip yourself And if you think 6X all day in Grandpa's lab Don't stink, then go ahead and flip yourself Pete Quint on the horn, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. For all the times I said your shots were way too small. Steven Bowden says that they're tight but findable. I never scored so low, my bricks were vulnerable Was I a fool to think this game was valuable? Cause if you like the way you look that much Houdini, you can go and flip yourself And if you think that I will play you now Houdini, you can go and flip yourself And if you think I'll try, I'll just brick and die Houdini, you should go and flip yourself And if you think I'll try, I'll brick and die Houdini, you should go and brick yourself All right, and we're back, and the cheese slices are falling. Welcome back, guys. Thank you, Glenn, again for that beautiful, beautiful song. It's one of my favorites now. It is. It's nice. It's a great song. I love it. I even paused a little bit to listen. All right, so, Drew, how many more do we got? Just three. Three more. Let's go. Three more. Let's wrap it up, bitches, and get crazy. Dialed in L.E. Ooh. These, just so you guys know, when I was looking at these over the last couple of years, and I was thinking about buying one. They dip down. Sometimes you can get them for like $6,800, $6,600. I mean, there was some time when you could do that. But now we got $7,900. Dialed in. $7,900. Dialed in. It's got the nice blue powder coat. Very nice looking game. That's what Kuiper has, right? Yeah. Very, very, very beautiful game. It is a good game. 87, 85, 72, 50 says Mike Williams. CP Daddy, 7,600. I'll go 7. well you can't get them for seven anymore but for the low low price of 7600 cp daddy you win okay what else what's the next one uh attack from mars special edition which has also been on my list eight they were getting up there for a while i saw a few uh some new in box for like 10 people were asking yeah there's still a few floating around new in box because they're not making anymore but whoo but uh no attack from mars just can't catch a break no 7076 no uh so tim lee dante's you guys you guys are there 7500 scoots i feel you what's that he just did z's sorry scoots we're almost done my friend uh 75 28 you're too late scoots i'm not talking to you anymore uh love you scoots uh i had another skittle i swear to god my wife turned into a lizard person that's awesome uh last one cyclone yeah classic game three wait what was the other one what did it end up being which one 7500 oh okay 7500 yeah so dante's mark you were close 7600 uh tim lee says $3,200 for a Cyclone. Tim Lee, you are correct. Wow, Tim Lee was in the market. Oh, Rachel, you are also correct. Good job, Rachel. $300 says CP Daddy. Did you miss a zero there? Yeah, I paid X amount for the Zen Studio one, and I'm like, ugh. So I know it's early, but what did we learn, folks? Games are freaking expensive. That's what we learned. We have learned that games that we create on this show It can be too long, too. It's too good. Way too long. We need to bring back love letters. Would you guys like some love letters next week? Who proofreads? Give me a yes or a no. Who proofreads this shit? Do you guys like love letters? Because I always love love letters. You love the love letters? I love them. You should write a love letter to love letters. Okay, so. It's good. It's going to taste the rainbow. No, but I can hear it. I can hear it. I can feel it. It's all around me. It's loud as shit. These are good, man. The Skittles? Yeah. Yeah, they're good. Jeremy, I'm going to have to go get some more from you. Okay. So we did a draft a few weeks ago. Yes, we're moving on, guys. We're done with Drew's stupid shit. Woo! No one's more excited than Ian. That's not true. Ian, my asshole best friend. I loved it. That was good, wasn't it? It was great. You had all the audience participation. We could really knock that into a smaller, more bite size. Yes, I agree with that. We'll knock that out. I love it. We'll get a little, I think we should do that a regular segment, though. I think you're right. Okay. I think it's a keeper, bud. He did good. So a few weeks ago, we did our first annual pinball draft. Tim Lee, don't be a dick. He's a nice guy. He said one hour later. Chris Chandler, what did we learn? Pinball is a Ponzi scheme. Yeah. No doubt. Okay. See your daddy. He likes the love letters. Who else? Fuck yeah, they are. I can stay here all night, but I think Ian has to work in the morning, so I'm going to get rolling. Yes. Yes? Is that true? Okay. I'm just looking at the love letter. So a few weeks ago, we had our first annual draft. We drafted nine teams. Okay. What does that mean? We started with the Pinside Top 100. Between 1 and 50, that was round one. And between 51 and 100 was round two, so on and so forth. Then as kind of two bonus, that was seven, seven of them. Yeah. Then as two kind of bonus rounds, we got to pick one modern game, anything we wanted. Anything we wanted. And then one EM. Yes. Just to make things spicier. So, those games again, Ian. Do you have them in your notebook here? Oh, yeah. So, Ian's going to read off our teams. We put up a poll on Facebook. I put it up yesterday, and so far we have almost 60 votes. We're going to leave this up for one more week. We'll talk about it next week, but this is very interesting. So, Drew's team, Jurassic Park, Taxi, Radical, Last Action Hero, Future Spa, Popeye, Hardbody, Attack from Mars, and Sing Along. That's nine. Fort Orby. I always write Fort Orby there. I don't care. What is your team, Ian? What do you got? Deadpool. You got Deadpool. Deadpool. Get Away, High Speed, Banzai, Roller Games, Godzilla, Cactus Jacks, Black Belt, Indiana Jones, and Gulfstream. Okay. So here's what happened. The three choices on Facebook are Team Drew, Team Ian, or What Are These Guys Doing With Their Lives? By the way, What Are These Guys Doing With Their Lives has five votes right now. We both voted for that. We did, because I have no clue what we're fucking doing with our lives. Yeah. So before this recording showing, airing, Ian was ahead by a vote or two, but now I'm looking at it. Team Drew is 25 votes. Team Ian. All day I've been winning. Team Ian is 24 votes. Come on, Team Ian. This is close. This might be our most responded to poll ever, maybe. I don't think we've ever done a poll. We have not. We've done a couple. We have over 50 votes. If you don't count that, what are we doing with our lives? Fuck, we don't know. We're going to leave this up for one more week. Team Ian, let's get fucking serious. Ian and I will actually campaign a little bit this week because now we have a week. I think it will be fun. I think we can get up to like 100 plus votes. Oh, we got to. Maybe 200. I'm not losing to your ass. Are we putting money down on this? Let's make a bet. Let's make some sort of bet. What are we doing? How much? I don't know. You want to do 50? Well, we can do 50. 50 bucks? 100 bucks? Or how about you had to do two shots on the show? Oh, my God. Winner's choice. I'll pay you 100 bucks. Jesus. All right. You want to hear first? Two shots. Okay. Oh, my God. This is terrible. Winner's choice. So we both do them? No, the loser does the two shots. The loser does two shots of the winner's choice. Yeah, the winner's choice. All right. We have all that booze there. It's signed, sealed, and delivered, folks. So next week, someone's going to get kind of pukey here. Someone's going to die. Mike Williams has a shot every half hour on the show. That'd be like Zach Menny's unboxing of Pirates. Rough. We could do it. Super rough. So let's see where we're at here. So, yep, so next week we'll show you guys the results. And then we have a new tribe member today. I'm really excited about this one. Yeah, long overdue, but most of them are. Like I said, there's a bit of a waiting list here, guys. We're trying to get everyone. Number 40. I will say this is a unique one, though. Did I do that right, or is it the other way? This is actually a very unique tribe member because we actually, this is the first time we brought it to the tribe that that is exciting we we put up a poll for our tribe members yeah and so this overwhelmingly this is a committee vote and we won't name any of the other names that were brought up but i will say this guy there's a guy ran away with it ran away with it everyone loves him and uh i think that's the coolest part of the the tribe is you They all came together and they said, nope, this is the next one in. And Chris Chandler, it's not Kaneda, and now you're out of the tribe. That's not true. It's not Kaneda, but you're out. All right. So let's get into our intro here. Thank you, sir. May I have another? Poor Man's Pinball Tribe. Thank you, sir.
