Thank you. Get out of my sight! I forgot. What's up everybody? Sorry about the noise. I'm sitting right next to the machine. I may be talking up fundamentally streamers.
2:58
Coverage! This one's just a test. Oh, he took off the anteroom. Get down. Again, first thing about the loud noise, I'll be out of the way in a second. I just want to make sure the street looks as good as I can get it.
3:40
Does the, does the, the payfield look okay? The DMD is about as good as we can get it, but the playfield, I'd like to know if it looks okay. Are you watching this on Twitch right now? I can't. What do you mean you can't? How does it look? I could not reach it while I was doing it because it said offline. Pull it up. I got a handball. Folks, I'm currently in line to play The Walking Dead. Stern was nice enough to let us set up our stream on it. Thank you. The DMD is about as fixed as we can get it to look, but the point field looks great. And as you can see, there's a huge line to play this thing. Are we on? We're live. We're mic'd. I don't know how to look at the video on. Can you turn down the volume at all? If you see that, it means you're online. I hear you.

    Not out there, hold on one second, one second. No, it says we're live. Dude, I couldn't get it. It kept saying it found the screen, which comes in with.
    5:31
    I don't know how the internet works. How does the internet work? Jed. I haven't found it on the internet. Oh, it's Jed underscore Cliff. It's not Papa, actually.
    5:44
    Here you go. Yeah, we're up. We're up. We are up. Yeah, that's what I thought. It's just, it's taking a second. I got an ad here. Everywhere has an ad. Folks, thank you for coming. Sorry. Team builds. Yeah, there's a lot of people to stream. I got to pull it up so I can chat with them. Thank you everybody for tuning in. Yeah, y'all are awesome. I got a, I'll chat with you on my stupid phone here. Welcome to Wheeling, Illinois. Welcome to Wheeling. Y'all, what? The top of the Chicago area. The next footballing club. Wait, how, how do you have that and I don't? I don't know. Did Brad, Brad's blowing it up. Wait, you guys got new phones? I don't have new phones. Get a new phone, bro.
    6:24
    A minute. Cool. Oh, you heard me talk? Oh, shit. Can I see that? Oh, you're good. Oh, baby, that looks great.
    6:34
    Is it super crunchy? Can I hear this real quick? Oh, you can hear us all, but there is loud noise. Folks, there is a rocking DJ performing right now.
    6:52
    We're not anywhere. Welcome, everybody. Sorry for the tech difficulties setting up. You saw him? Oh, my man. So we're in line. We thought we would be able to stand next to the machine and talk about stuff. Go to the Zoom.
    7:14
    I'm afraid to go back there. You go do it. Don't touch anything on the computer. It's a delicate, delicate thing. We're trying to work on the sound to be a little better. We need to realize a little, a little bit. Tom.com, thanks for coming. How, how, fun with bonus, good to see you. No, the Westin internet service is not using that. We're actually broadcasting over, uh, the Mother West. A secret, a secret magical thing. A secret method.
    7:40
    Yeah, it's the Westin. But it's a little close to starting your life. You don't have to yell loudly. Oh, right. If you talk normal, everyone will hear you. Well, I might, I might. You guys have to yell. You do not have to yell, just so you know. So if you guys don't want to hear me talk or the loud noise around, you can turn the volume down.
    8:03
    Go turn it down. You know what a Zoom looks like? Yeah. Stern was nice enough to let us set up a machine. We stream every day, Monday through Friday. Hold it up. What am I holding?
    8:20
    Yeah, it's pretty cool. Uh, where's the video? I don't have it. You still have it? My man. Well, I guess it's just my stupid phone. Chicago Pinball. It's a speaker. Oh, this is AT&T.
    8:47
    I don't get it. I don't... Is it because I'm logged in as myself? Again, folks, sorry for the technical difficulty. You're all great. I love you. Thanks for coming. Thanks for watching. The problem is we've got too many sweet jams being played by resident DJ. Well, first off, they have the walking dead turned up as loud as they can go, and there's three of them next to each other.
    9:13
    Pinball Joe, thanks for coming. And then that's me from Logan Arcade here in Chicago. He's DJing. Is that you, DJing? That's me DJing, yeah.
    9:25
    I'm Mike. This is a pro model, right? Yes, it is. It is. This is a pro model. There's three of them set up right now.
    9:34
    They have maybe six or seven of them set up in the normal. So many sharks. Yeah, every shark is here tonight. Well, I guess for the baby sharks, they're not here. Hey, legit baby sharks. Yeah, the real baby shark.
    9:55
    There also might be an E on that name. I'll stand in the background so you folks can see me. Ah, fun with bonus. Why aren't you out here?
    10:20
    Wrong year to be bigotry. Ladies and gentlemen, I did a little work on the audio. Let us know in the chat if it sounds a little bit better or too quiet. I think it might be a little quiet, but let us know. Awesome. Arcade Hunters, thank you for sharing that. I appreciate it. And get back in line. We'll see you live. All three of us will play in a row here in maybe half an hour, maybe an hour. Shortly. Yeah, we're about an hour away from being live on camera with you. We'll point at you, peck our noses, all that fun stuff. Of course. And I'm about to go turn the audio back up just a little bit, but please use the chat to yell at us because I guess there's no other way to go about it. Well, they wouldn't know anyway. I guess that makes sense. Love you guys. Okay, go fix it. I love you guys. Yeah, you did it.
    11:05
    I wish I could give you folks a tour of this place. It's packed with people, but everyone's just sort of against the wall right now.
    11:16
    Colter, the sharps don't get mics. Screw that. Hey, all sharps, Mike. There are no sharps talking. It's all dead flips all the time. All dead flips. So that means you got my man, Jack Danger here. Hello, nice to meet you. All right, you got my other man, Nick Campbell. Nick, say hello. Hello, Internet. How is everyone? And then you got me, MC extraordinaire, Brad Starks. And we're standing in line like Ding Dongs. We're staying in line like Ding Dongs. Well, last year we stood in line too late, and we didn't make the cutoff. Right, we were the last people to get cut off for Star Trek last year at Expo. It was us and Steve Ritchie that got cut off, and it was a little sad. Arcade Hunters, go play Walking Dead. It's a lot of fun, actually.
    12:10
    I've been enjoying it. I played it today a couple times at the tournament, at the, kind of the main tournament they have. Yeah. And had a couple big games, and they even have brand new codes. Oh, baby. They were loading up codes. Oh, yeah, they were loading up new codes in the hallway. And we were getting, setting up, so. So, if you will, if you folks will see, like, in the back, I know the picture's a little dark, but in the middle, like, if you're familiar with Metallica, there's, like, a Sparky Shop. There's a house there. It's a jail. It's the jail, sorry. My approach on this game is I beat the crap out of that jail. And what happens is the doors will open, and then a zombie head is in there. You beat the crap out of that zombie head, it starts a multiball. Now, you use that multiball to attack that giant toy that's there, the well zombie. Because you can stack them like Spider-Man. Exactly. So you use your jail to beat up the well, and then you just start taking off shots once you've got both of those running, and you'll destroy it. People like Spider-Man might be doing a, instead of a stacking, some sort of like getting one and then preparing the next one. Oh, just get it ready and blow up some modes while they're in. Yeah, and while you're in the fat guy mode. Fat guy mode. The zombie mode. Oh, well zombie, yeah. Which, by the way, I wanted to tell you, I played the games out here at the tournament. We were having problems with the registry. The zombie head, yeah. And the games that I played, I don't know if it's code or if it's just the game. Bad noises. It's all good. I mean, if you're going to brush it, it's not going to register. Right. But if you make a solid hit on it, I have not had a problem with it here. I really had a couple of wimpy hits, and it still works pretty good.
    13:52
    If you're just joining us, we're hanging out in Wheeling. Wheeling, Illinois, at the Chicago Pinball Expo. Yep. And we're here for tonight for a couple reasons. Yes. There's a bunch of tournaments. There's a bunch of fun stuff going on. But there's also this walking dead part. Walking dead. Not waking. It's the walking dead. I don't know this movie well enough to call it by its right name. It's like walking dead. Waking dead. Which I think is a zombie. It's zombies. And it sounds like it's a moth. Now, are these fast zombies or slow zombies? These are slow zombies, Nick. These are slow zombies. And the game revolves around. And I say, oh, Bob Twitch is here with us, too. Bob just got done playing it. The middle one looks like it's the one.
    14:42
    The middle one's the good one to score on? What's up, Brad? We got Brad Smith, U.S. here with us also, who's also been on the stream.
    14:55
    Oh, yeah, he's 500. One ball game? Oh, dear God, no. No, this game I found, I spent my first two balls setting it up, and my last ball collecting everything. That's the way I've been playing also? Yeah.
    15:15
    Oh, yeah. The modes, I mean, you can see how the modes can support something. I wonder if I should go outside and smoke and just have like a nice quiet moment with everybody. Oh, yeah. Just go outside.
    15:27
    Maybe. You know what I found interesting about this game from the one time I've played it so far? This is Brad talking. The in and out lanes, right? Because it's not like many turns where you use the flippers to, you know, adjust, like, which one is lit or anything. It's really they do something. It's not something that you have control over.
    15:50
    Yeah. Right, right, right, right. Josh Sharp, thank you, brother, for everything you do. In life. Yeah. Yeah, why not? Thank you for listening. Hey, you're welcome, buddy. Yeah, thank you for the logo. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry. If you need more updating stuff on that, just give me a holler. I've been busy. The stream looks great. I've seen you busy. We're Mike. On your Twitch channel. We're Mike Live. It's killing it. So all this shit you're saying.
    16:23
    Yeah, dude. Radical. We got chat rooms going. There it is. Baby. Mike. Nope. Just me. Mike. No. No!
    16:34
    That ruined our stream. Yeah, the glare is out of control. The glare is brutal. We apologize for the lights going off. Yeah, cover your eyes in about 30 seconds. Are you guys in line? Is somebody standing in line? Yeah. We're all in line. You'll make it. I might step outside for a cigarette and have a romantic moment. As long as one of you guys are in line, you're all in line. Oh, great. Do you have anything to tell us that will help us tonight? I'm walking dead. Like, have you guys played it or not? I've played it once. Yeah, yeah. So, bash the prison. Yeah. It'll grab the magnet, open up, the dude comes out and scares you. Yeah. You've got to hit every shot on the plate field, and then the center guy, like, twice or three times, take a prison multi-roll. So, wait, you hit every shot and then the guy? Yes. I think hitting the guy spots one of the shots. You see him pass it? Yeah. And then after that, multiple starts, just start bashing on Wolverine. Yep. Wolverine, cute. You can bring both multiples at the same time. Yep. Just fucking flip. Just destroy. Awesome. Monkey flipping at my... Josh Sharp, everybody. If you can do two stacks in a game, you'll be like... Oh, beautiful. All right, man. Well, I appreciate it. Thanks, brother. Now you've learned how to play this game, according to Josh Sharp. Directly from the horse's mouth.
    17:53
    Sharp glare. Yeah, actually, that was just our fault that the lights came on. No. Can they fix magnet straight down the middle? Yeah, pinball Joe. Oh, in all pinball.
    18:10
    Because that magnet on this game definitely just drops it right down the middle. Thank you. Thank you for keeping that live so we can make sure it's going. because we're using nefarious means to get this Wi-Fi. All right? Because your thing doesn't work anymore.
    18:31
    It's not working. So, folks, if we drop out, it's because we've been caught. Yeah, don't say anything. Don't say anything. You know, I feel like that movie Pump Up the Jam with Christian Clay. Okay. Or a pirate radio. I'm on nobody's Wi-Fi. And yet everybody's like that.
    18:55
    Wolverine. Oh, Rick, yeah, dude. You know, the one thing, you call it Wolverine, but I like the design better than Wolverine because the wreck hits don't damage the toy like Wolverine's. This thing just sort of knocks it back like it's belly laughing. There's a metal ring that's around it. Are you in line? Yeah. Okay, we're keeping up with you.
    19:19
    Chuck hates Walking Dead. Is he playing right now? Oh. Aw, poor Chuck. Let's go talk to Chuck now that he drained.
    19:29
    Hold on, we've got to find Chuck. Chuck Jackson, how's your game going, Wolverine? Terrible. Terrible? I got it right down the middle twice. I hit the back of the door.
    19:48
    It just dropped it right down the bridge. I hit the zombie head. Yeah. Right now I'm still... Really? Yep. I got like a whopping five million points. Chuck Jackson gets five million points on Walking Dead. I can do better than that. I can do a lot better. Yeah, I know. You were gloating something on Facebook. Yeah, so I can do a lot better than that. Well, all right. It's terrible. I was trying to get the middle one. Bob played a good game. Oh, Bob got shit on... Yeah, he told me. He's like, if you get your choice, play the left one. Play the center one. Center one. Yeah. I'm all over that. Thank you. Chuck Jackson, everybody.
    20:20
    Oh, yeah. What's Jesse doing? He's too close to the music. He got a little talking to Chuck. He's not happy. He got $5 million.
    20:35
    You do? How much? $48 million. Brad Smith. Hell, yeah, dude. Looks like number one's $72. Man, Escher, that kid is like 10 or 11 years old. He's in second place right now and he is just growing.
    20:55
    Rasmus, US. Uh, crap. So Wolverine's sort of like a better version of Optimus Prime in Stern's Transformers. Yeah, he just sort of bows backwards when you hit him. Yeah, it's kind of a fun group. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wolverine is a really bad team. Wolverine breaks a lot. A lot.
    21:25
    Yeah. All right. All right, buddy. Going back to the guys. Pardon me. Yeah, Colcha, talking to Chuck, he said two of his balls went straight down the middle because of that damn egg. Hey, when I was practicing the game two nights ago, I had the exact same problem.
    21:51
    What am I doing? Hitted a bunch of signs. There you go, bud. Again, I want to thank everyone for coming out. Stern was nice enough to let us stream. We are usually live at about 5 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday, but we made an exception tonight because Stern was gracious enough to let us set up our equipment.
    22:21
    I just called Bowen Cairns. I wonder if he played already. Hey, Bowen. Did you play already, man? Did you play already? No. No? Fair enough. I'm hearing a lot of people having some straight-down-the-middle problems with that magnet. Sure, why not? Yeah.
    22:41
    Yep. Oh, well, screw it. DJ Argus. Yeah, DJ Argus. That makes a lot of sense, for sure. No, Thunder 1 is the one to play. Oh, no. Okay, well, guess what, folks? We get to play the one no one wants to play. Everyone hates it, but we're going to play it because that's what we set up on. Yeah, it's not our fault that the game sucks.
    23:17
    Yes, Laura, this is Walking Dead. Oh, right on. Yes, this is Walking Dead. You know who that is. That's Laura.
    23:32
    Like, small Laura. My friend Laura My girl friend Laura Your lady friend Laura? My lady friend That you live with? Yeah No, I gotta be a hot single guy when I'm on the internet Jack, you are so single You got this buddy, don't sweat it Great to see all you guys Yeah Front seats, back seats, back seats, front seats, back seats Front seats Back seats Yeah, oh no, he's got an incredible voice. That was John Rupplogel from Papa TV. Hey John, come over here and talk to us for a second. How you doing, brother? What are you guys doing? We're actually Twitch streaming and broadcasting right now on the internet. Jack's got the mic here. The game on the left there, we're streaming to the interweb. We're talking about The Walking Dead. And we just wanted to hear that sexy voice here. What's up? Yeah! Do you play a lot of The Walking Dead? I played about six games. What is your strategy on the long carry now? Keep the ball in play. Okay. That's a good one.
    24:42
    Yeah, right? Right. I mean, pop bumpers forever. Call it a day. So pop bumpers seem to be great because you can get that double ball fly. Oh, yeah. That 2X shot right next to the jail. Yeah, I mean, it seems like shooting the prison is a very dangerous thing because it might go right down the middle. And I'm hearing a lot of people doing that, too. But it's a Mokey Ball, so it's tempting. Too tempting, actually. Send it to the pops. Call your grandpa. Yep. Send it to the pops. Call your grandpa. I don't know what that means. Anyway. Get Coys for you. If we see Coys, we will grab him absolutely.
    25:18
    Cool. Yeah, we have to get the Coys. Coys, hold on. You guys got the shout-out? Yeah. You can actually do that? Oh, yeah. That's totally neat. We need a Coy. We need a Koi like this. It's the only way I can respond to people because obviously I can't hear anything that's going on. Well, hello, everybody online in the interwebs.
    25:35
    Tune in to Papa TV. Papa TV, indeed. Have you heard this voice before or seen this voice before? Seen him? Heard him? Papa TV, indeed. Make sure you join them. Follow them on Twitch. And they do a lot of pinball stuff as well. Yeah, I mean, it would be great to get you guys on for a few minutes. Yeah, dude. We're doing a broadcast. That'd be rad. Yeah, Papa TV. those guys actually know how to play pinball versus...
    25:57
    We don't know what we're doing, but the Papa TV group actually does. Yeah. I don't know. We just have good time.
    26:05
    They're great. Maybe let's give a heads up on the current status on everybody right now. So first place is Chris Fame with $72 million. Escher Lefkoff with $64 million. Escher's good. Todd Fever with $58 million. And Brad Smith, U.S.
    26:22

We're live right now on Twitch. We're streaming on Twitter. On the far left. Way on on the far right. Oh, right on. We need to watch you. We need to get the cameras set up and everything. We're recording right now. Oh, okay. That left-hand scene's streaming live. So, let us know what you did. Why is your score so much better than everyone else's? That's a pretty good, uh, that's what, that's what, that's the toys, really. Yeah. You've got to be on the game. That, that's, that's the walker. That's the prison area. Yep. The prison seems like it's a bit of a nightmare of a, like, straight down the middle. The white stand-up target is by the prison area. Yeah. And, like, the tower side of the tower is going to be a storm for, like, 30, 40, 40 seconds. Oh, heck yeah. 40 seconds. All right. Good to know. The tower side of the plant. Oh, yeah. There's, like, the, the two, like, uh, little. Two rollers and there's a tower targeted. Right. Awesome. Yep. Yeah, the white water target. The whitewater target. It's beautiful. That'll help us more. It makes me active for a while. Right on. You got one ball favorite going. Yeah. Trying to get the other ball to go on. Awesome, dude.
    27:31
    Your combos. If you hit a ran shot, it'll start a combo. It'll start a combo scene. Right. You know, the game is up. We're right up red, so that's going to be the end. Oh, beautiful.
    27:43
    Combos. Well, thank you, brother. We'll give it a shot. Todd, thank you so much, man. Good luck, man. That was Todd Seaver, currently third place right now. There's a big line of people to play, but he's holding it down. So it sounds like Todd says that those pug targets to the left and right of the prison were important to him. He was scoring high. I think those targets start your 2X. This is some info from Dave, a former JetBlue member.
    28:12
    The two right... I call them the... Ben Lowers, I'm the one talking deeply. The ones left and right of the main kind of letter shots are your 2x lights. You can get those light 2x and then hit the riot shot, and that's what lights your 2x. What I learned was about the in lane and out lane, on the in lane there's a big axe that shows up. The way you get those, it sounds like, is from killing the zombies. Every time you kill a zombie, you're going to get one more axe for that shot. You can build that up as much as possible, and when you want to use it, let's say you kill eight zombies before you use your X shot, you can then make the ball go down the inlane in the X shot, and then you can 8X whatever shot you hit after that. Oh, baby. So, if you really want to build it up, instead of this gambling thing, you want to build up your X, X, X, and then you can, oh, we're on? We're on. Cool. You can build up your X-Shot and then once you're ready to go, you can use it in like a multi-ball or maybe in a riot mode or something like that. Oh, hell yeah. And totally, like, kill a shot and make a bunch of points. Awesome. Still not exactly sure how it works, but that's how I heard it works.
    29:36
    Great. All right, I guess we're... Good, good. Dude, you're hanging in there. Rex hit the US's fourth place right now. Fourth place with 48 million. He's in... He's doing good. You can only move down. That's good.
    29:52
    I let you go first Nick Campbell but I will stand next to you and talk Okay Stand a little behind me I don mind people talking while I play but I think it the physical presence of the giant man Giant man. Can you hold onto my hoodie? I will hold your koozie. Your jacuzzi. So, we're going to let people go around us so that we can focus on the left game. We'll play other ones. We're all going to play this one. We'll let people go around us, if that's alright.
    30:27
    I'm sorry. Alright, cool. You're up. We're making Josh Sharp's life miserable. Sorry, Josh. Oh, wait, there's money involved in this?
    30:48
    Alright, where's my wallet? Hold on. I got the three of them. I'll get all three of them. Okay, I love you.
    30:58
    Nick Campbell is my sugar daddy for the day. Josh, this is me. This is all dead to the table. You're killing me. I'm back. Hold on. All right, wait. Take your time. Who paid? None of us paid yet, but we're being jerks, and we're going to commandeer this machine. You guys roll it and go. You only work at 20. What up? I got cookies. Oh, man. Find a five. The machines don't spit out fives. Just hold a snickle. Hold a hard 20. One five, please. Next time you get a five. Wait, hold on. Start, go through my wallet. Start going. All right, here we go. Grab his wallet, bro.
    31:40
    Careful. You're really making me go first, aren't you? Yes, I would love for you to go first. Yeah, folks, we're just about up. Then we get to say hi to everybody. All the money, man.
    31:55
    Unbelievable. Just get us later. Yeah, honestly, yeah. Don't worry about it. I'll get one of you guys. My man.
    32:04
    Probably Jack. Jack just paid. My wife just paid. Oh, Nick just paid. Give me back later. Get Nick back later. You heard it, folks. Josh owes us $5. Josh is just going to play one game for me in the main tournament.
    32:15
    under my name and then we'll be even. Yep. My number's 139, you know, if you really feel happy. Are we still good?
    32:27
    Yep, we're good. Yay! You can see it? Yeah. Oh, my man. All right, folks, it looks like they're going to put me first. So I'm going to do a couple things I do before I get into a main tournament. I'm going to set my phone to vibrate off so I don't get vibrates in the pockets it throws you off it surprises you so if you want to text me and tune me up you can do that now but I'm going to be up next here we got our last player on the left the next three games will be from me I am Nick Campbell I will be going first raise your hand and wave at the camera are we on? Yeah, it's right there. There we are. Hi. So how are we going first? Jack, who wants to go second? I'll go second. Jack, you want to go second? I'll go third. I'm going to talk through the whole thing. I'll go second. Brad Sarton is right here. He's been going second. Jody FJ says the combos look valuable. Combos? Yeah, and they get to see more than we do what the hell's going on. Yeah, so Jabron, this is your last chance to give us some tips. Yeah, please let us know how to blow it up. If you guys are watching anything, let us know. Also, it's your last chance to bring us a beer before we play. Please do not give us another beer. Yeah, all the beer. The top four players so far are the exact same. Nothing's changed.
    33:58
    Yo, just pour beer all over it, man. Zach Sharp, good to see you, buddy. Good to see you. Congratulations, buddy. Congratulations, Mr. Mary-soon-to-be-guy. Very soon to be a guy? Yeah. I'm into it.
    34:11
    He's engaged, bro. I'm engaged. My man. He has an interesting name. Nick Campbell. Oh, yeah. I might stand a little close to him if that's okay and talk. Okay. Yeah, I don't care. All right.
    34:43
    Yo, Colta, there's a beer in my hand right here. I'm going to stand back here. There's no possible way for us to talk right now. It's too loud.
    34:59
    Yeah. Sorry if that's super loud, folks. It's ridiculously loud. Alright, I'm going to do what everyone said, which is go for the center shot, go for the house, get that multiball, and then I'm going to go for the fat guy multiball, and then we'll see what happens. He's going to shoot for the jail first to light that multiball up, and then once that multiball starts...
    35:22
    I can't tell right now, but there's a fair amount. The last thing I want to do is touch that. Yeah. We can hear Nick and you. That's all you need to hear. So make sure to grab Nick's ass because it makes him play better. Yep, here he goes. So Nick's going to go straight for the jail. When you light that multi-ball up, he's going to go right for the well walker.
    35:49
    Well, not the prison. I thought he was going prison first. He's going prison first. Yeah. That magnet's being a real shit. Oh, no.
    35:57
    That's fine. Nick's a third ball type of guy. Yeah, yeah. It only takes one ball. Lance Armstrong. Pinball Joe says Nick sounds like a lady. He does. There's 1,026 people watching. Thank you for that. That's what I got to look at. That's down right.
    36:19
    Is that flipper pass from bumper exit? There you go. It's got prison on the plate. Not good. All right, it only takes one ball. All right, we'll keep it quiet here. So what's on your mind, buddy? I really screwed up my first two balls. Yeah, I think they saw that. I'm still going to go for the main multi-ball. I'm just going to try to blow it up. If I try to do anything less, I'm never going to make the tops.
    36:48
    I'm not trying to beat anybody. I'm trying to beat everybody. Do you want it to be quiet? Yeah, well, it is what it is. You don't care. I just talked you up to Tom. You know what I'm talking about? I told you about the merch and stuff. Yeah. I said it's first. They were handing these things out with a glass. We're live, so don't say anything too creepy or teaker.
    37:08
    I love you, Chuck. Chuck Jackson, everybody. No, thank you, brother. I'll talk to you in a bit. No, that's good. Thank you.
    37:15
    So Nick Campbell's sort of shit the bed. My friend J.R. is right behind you guys. Who's J.R.? J.R. Where's J.R.? Is J.R. here? No, let's not shoot like that. He's not here. Don't worry, bud. It's this guy, for real. Dude, this is great. We're live streaming. It's awesome.
    37:38
    Let's go, Brad. Nick sounds like a lady. I got high pitch. Look below that. I'm good. I got nothing.
    37:54
    Is this serious? Where's that coming from? All right. Yay, Nick. Hey, Andy. Hi, Chuck. Have another beer. All right. Yo, F that magnet for sure, dude. Well, I'm glad a lot of people watched my awful, awful game. There is no ball fan.
    38:11
    No ball fan. Which is really no excuse. I just had a really bad game. Didn't get to really shoot anything. So we see that Brad has one shot left to open the jail doors to reveal the zombie dead. Yeah, he's... And he's milking that riot shot. He's already killing it. He's got the better shot. Poor Brad.
    38:32
    Brad's got it figured out. No, he's doing it. He's doing it right. Gilt has 2X running right now. I'm really, I'm not great at games I don't know very well, but Brad really seems to do well with games that are new. Brad can walk up to games I've never played and really can kill them. I don't know, it's just the way that he plays. Yeah. So I'm hoping and expecting Brad to do pretty well here. and get that prism multi-ball open. He avoided the magnet straight down the middle problem everyone was having.
    39:11
    Again, welcome everybody. We're jet-flipped. Stern was gracious enough to let us stream the Walking Dead here at Chicago Pinball Expo. This is the launch party that we're at right now.
    39:23
    If you folks like what you see, We usually do this Monday through Friday at 5 p.m. Central. Yeah, go vote for next week's game, right? The vote will be up later this evening if I'm not too drunk to put it up. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do a new game every week. We just come and vote for the game, and you'll see us play it all next week. Yep, and if you folks are in the Chicagoland area, give us a holler. You can come play us, actually.
    39:50
    That is the second half half ramp. Half ramp drain. We call those hand cramps. Half ramp, hand cramp. That's the second one we've seen from Brad today.
    40:03
    Oh, barf. Raise your hand, buddy. Mac has to take your thing. That is better than a four million for sure. Keeps up, Rex, and dead flip. Pinball Joe. Yeah. All right, JD. All right, I'm up, folks. Can you hold my beer?
    40:17
    Wait, hold the whole thing because there's a business card in there. I double dipped, though, apparently.
    40:22
    All right, buddy. Here we go, man. I will. Folks, thanks again. It's my turn to skip the bed. Here we go. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to attack the jail right away, and then I'm going to use that multi-ball to beat the crap out of the well zombie. So here we go.
    40:55
    I seem to have changed my strategy on the fly a little bit. So let's get back to what I was trying to do. We're going to go back to the jail.
    41:25
    Not good, not good. This gameplay is pretty tough. Not what I wanted, but I will take it. Little drop catch there.
    41:55
    All right, not straight down the middle. Come on. Hell yes. Harsh. Oh, shit. I think it just turned off, maybe. I don't know. Can you see alright?
    42:26
    Oh, okay, we're good. Alright, folks, this is where I get a billion points. I don't like that this game is kicking my ass.
    42:43
    Oh, my lord. I dream. Don't clap for me, it was a terrible score. Call my mom. I want to write home. This sucks.
    42:55
    Dad, did you get some of our real stories and words? What was it? Need to work. Thank you, brother. All right. I need to get my DMV cameras down. All right, Steve. Okay.
    43:05
    All right. The DMV camera is out of commission. I'm sorry. I'll get out of the way. The DMV camera is dead.
    43:33
    So give me one second here, folks. Penny Epstein, everybody. Streams coming back, folks. Don't sweat it.
    44:20
    Oh, you can't see Penny. We're fixing the darkness. Don't sweat it, folks. Almost done, almost done.
    45:20
    Sorry. There's still a lot of water. Let's play again. More magnets down the mill. Thank you. Is the stream looking okay folks? Just making sure the play field looks good.
    47:20
    Pono bonus, thanks. Just making sure. Someone kicked the DM's camera, so we're just trying to recover from that.
    47:42
    All right, sorry about that. Let's get out of the way here. What's going on, brother? Good to see you, man. How's it going? It's going all right. We're the man. We're also live streaming this machine over here, too.
    48:01
    Are you streaming on Twitch? Yep. Pretty cool. All right, let's get out of the way. Yeah, pardon me, brother.
    48:14
    Nice chasing it forward. Let's step over here where it's nice and quiet for a second. Aw crap, I had a beer and now it's done. So folks, my mistake on that game was just fumbling, I guess. I wasn't really hitting anything I wanted to hit. I got a little too enthralled with shooting that ramp, and then when I changed my mind halfway through, Just sort of threw my game off.
    48:50
    The top four scores currently are Chris Fame is still number one with $72 million. Etch-A-Lip-Tops still number two with $64.
    49:00
    Rory Wills hits the board with $60 million and Todd Siever is fourth place with $58. Oh, awesome. That's why we're wearing these... Yeah, I'm fresh guy. I was a preacher from New York. I was in a vice. Oh, yeah. Oh, you guys are from vice? Yeah, we're shooting something about Roger Sharp in the weekend. Oh, yeah, buddy. Roger owes me money. I'm just kidding. Well, so, yeah, I'll let Julian know. And it's cool. We kind of, like, talk to a bunch of people. Yeah, right on. Give us a holler. Yeah, we're... They very graciously let us set up their screen here for everybody. Yeah, I wasn't wondering about that. Yeah. I'm streaming this online right now. Yeah, totally. And I'm just dealing with the chat and shit like that.
    49:53
    Oh, so we set up a pinball stream on Twitch. Twitch.tv. It's a video gaming station, but there isn't a lot of pinball. There's like CopaTV, which is the big corporation or the big company that does their pinball. But we keep a very low-key, like Monday through Friday stream. and Stern was gracious enough to let us set up a three-camera setup on their pinball machine to, I guess, show the world a machine that no one's got a lot of time to play on. It's pretty popular. There's a lot of people listening right now.
    50:25
    What's that? Oh, yeah, totally. And, dude, I'm just using, like, three-city webcam. We're watching all of Jack's dreams come true before our eyes. Whatever.
    50:58
    I'll give her a holler. Yeah, man. Totally. We'll be around. Actually, we have a room here, so we'll be drinking all night. Just give us a holler. All right, brother. I wanted to go to the Finball Club before the Finball Club. I didn't know there was a league, you know? Honestly, two years ago there was nothing to do in Chicago. When we first started, we had to go to the summer for the youth leagues. We had to find our teams, right? Now we've got the beer teams. Oh, God, they're everywhere. Emporium, yeah, that's pretty rad. I used to go to my headquarters, you know? That's rad. Emporium actually sponsors us to play Finball. That's awesome. Yeah. Every way it should be. Yeah, exactly. Well, shit, man, yeah, I'll see you around, brother. Yeah, we got a photo shoot next week.
    51:37
    Good luck, man. Alright. Sorry about that, folks. Where's... Oh, we get to watch Bowen on the stream. Hell yes. Thank you, buddy. Hold on, let me get over there. Bowen's on right now. Let's go talk about it.
    51:54
    Bowen, Karen. The left machine seems to be a punisher. You know, Bowen talked to us earlier, and he sounded very confident about it. He said he's watched maybe half a dozen games, and he thinks he knows how to do it.
    52:15
    Actually, the way he described his approach was exactly what I tried to do, and I shit the bed. We are, but we're... Yeah. Yeah, totally.
    52:27
    All right, brother. Well, folks, we're going to go give an interview while we're streaming, so ignore all the gross stuff I'm about to say.
    52:41
    DJ, DJ, DJ. Yeah, actually, I'm mic'd live right now, but it is... Yeah, at the same time. Get it now. It's like a first look at our interview. All right, so what did you think of the game? What did I think about the game? I love the theme. The artwork's pretty rad. The stacky of the multiballs approach that I like in a lot of pinball machines is something very inherent in this game. That was pretty awesome. It kicked my ass, that is for sure. I don't know how you did there, buddy. I think it's legit. You know, the game has a lot of engineering things that it's improved upon previous Stern games, like the well zombie is very similar to the Wolverine. Yeah, they took the Wolverine toy and made it a little easier, I guess. It's easier, and it doesn't make direct contact with the toy, which is great. So I feel like the game's going to last longer. Exactly. It's not going to, you know, fail on you as quick. I think it's really fun. I was skeptical at first, but once I played it, I'm about it. Yeah, it's pretty rad. Yeah.
    53:56
    Ooh, the design. The back glass is pretty legit. I'm a big fan. Oh, look at these guys. Chainless plug. Yeah, that's beautiful. Wait, you have banners? You know, I think for a while I've seen a lot of, like, Photoshop jobs, like, actors, and this is a movie and this is serious. Right. But games like The Walking Dead have been doing some more interesting things with the art that I think go much better with the game. It looks, the design looks pretty solid and cohesive. I love the color scheme. You can't go wrong with black, brown, and red. Especially on a game that's all about, like, dirty, bloody, messy nonsense. It's so good.
    54:40
    All right, you're ready. The coolest feature. Oh man, the coolest feature, I would have to say, is the skill shot. I think it's one of the most complex skill shots on the scene. I haven't seen a rollover in forever, and I miss those things. And to have it on something that you have to touch every time you punch a ball is on point. It's legit. Yeah, I'm a big fan. You guys play a lot of pinball, right? Yeah. You play probably constantly. Oh yes. How does this change that up for creatures?
    55:13
    I love the ramps on this thing. It's a nice departure from, like, the ACDC ramps are a little short, but the long ramps on this is something I haven't seen in a while. Big fan. It's a change in gameplay. It also takes a lot of the things I like from a lot of sterns and mixes them all together. You have, like, the big toy monster you gotta defeat, plus, like, your important center shot that you know is gonna drain you, but you have to hit the thing. It's incredible.
    55:41
    Brother. My man. All right, we'll get back to this. All right, folks, we're back. We just gave Stern a little interview.
    55:58
    Let's see what this is all about here. The top four people. Oh, baby. So there's Bitter Nut's bed on second place.
    56:08
    Chris Bates. Oh, I love another beer, man. Still gets the beer. Crisprame is still number one. Bowen's still going. Bowen will never end. 34, that's pretty good. Bowen activated the Terrence magnets that he installed on the tips of his fingers.
    56:29
    Oh, you know, brother, I think I'm going to sit here and talk about this for a minute. Yeah, thanks, man.
    56:37
    Brad stepped out to give me another beer. Is everyone taking the coverage of this game? Honestly, it's a lot of fun.
    56:47
    And now that you get to see Bowen play it, you get to see someone destroy the machine. Oh, my man. I'll trade you. There you go.
    56:57
    Tanya said he would come and talk to us if he saw us one more time before he walked out. Oh, right on. Did you, uh, do you... Stan, what's up, buddy? Good to see you, man. Have you played yet? Not yet. How do you pronounce your last name? Stowa. Stowa? Stowa. We're one of the British, the oldest, so the W is the B. Stowa. Stan Stowa also plays in the, we're live right now actually. We're streaming on this pinball machine, and I am Mike. Our audio is going. And you're yet to play this, correct? I have not played. Oh man, good luck. It's been. It's been pretty tough. It's not that tough, it just is tough. I'm just unfamiliar with it, I think it's partially... Like, when you play a game for so many times you learn the way things bounce. Yeah. And I'm just not ready for it. I also think I got really used to having a ball save.
    57:56
    Uh, which, this game will teach you really quick you need one of those. Well, is it different than the Tuesday night practice session? Uh, yes. Oh god, yes.
    58:06
    Do you have to like, register anywhere or you just kinda go? Just stand in line back there. So, honestly, you should get in line, like, now.
    58:16
    Yeah. We've been cut off. Yeah. Actually, we were the ones to get cut off. It was bad, yeah. We have a vendetta against Josh Sharp for... Oh, and Zach, I guess, too, for cutting us off last year for the Star Trek launch party. Fuck him. No, not fuck him. I love those guys. Zach Sharp is actually our coach and Josh Garf is the guy that gave us a hard time. Oh, Danielle, he's playing on the machine. Oh man, this is blown up. Folks, if you want to see number one right now, it's about to happen. This is a master of words.
    58:58
    This is going to get discussed. Honestly, I couldn't be happier that he was on that machine right now. Because he picked the one we played. So we're about to be like shown how terrible we actually are. I don't know, ball one he's got, no, ball two he's got five million. It'll turn around. Bowen bitching he had to play the harder machine. Where is he? I'm sorry dude. I think we need to let him vent for a little bit. I actually already chatted him up. It's right back down below.
    59:37
    Pinball Joe, Coy is here. I have not seen him in this area for this tournament. Right. But I have seen him. He's here. I said, hey, ask him if he still loves Wheel of Fortune. He said yes. Yep. He has in hand a name tag and a camera around his neck He ready to go And let hope he plays our machine
    60:08
    He's in line! Actually, he's two people away from playing, so yeah. Where did Nick go? I'm getting texts, but I don't want to read them. I just need to... I'm still racing, but...
    60:33
    Yeah, buddy, Wheel of Fortune. So, Coy's definitely gonna play. Dude, Daniele's playing our machine right now, bro.
    60:42
    Daniele is, uh... And Bowen played our machine, too. I think first in the main tournament right now. Yep, yep.
    60:49
    And, uh, he's an incredible, incredible player from, I want to say Sweden or the... Neverland somewhere. Pinball Joe, we don't have a lot of say in who gets to play what machine. We just lucked out that we all three got to play on ours. Yeah, yeah. Because we got a lot of guff. So I think we're just going to let Josh not have a heart attack. Let whoever plays on it. We'll let it happen. Yeah, they have to work it hard. Like watching Coy play would be incredible. But watching Daniele is going to teach you a little thing about the game. We have Coy on deck here. We have John from New York. Yep.
    61:29
    Looks like Coy's going to... Coy is playing... Nope. Whatever's next. Oh, man. If Dan Yelly trains two more times right now, we get Coy Morris on our machine.
    61:44
    Oh, Josh. So, yes, that is Zach's chart. That is Josh's chart. We got some... Can they see us right now?
    61:57
    I mean, we're illuminated. I just got a text that said, I can see you. Oh! I think we're getting the bright lights from over here as well. Wish they didn't recycle the font from Metallica.
    62:11
    What, the one with the dead font? Yeah, yeah. We are, look, we're in the corner over here. I agree that Corey Morris' audio would be far better than anything we could possibly say right now. If you could just gently stick the microphone onto him right now, I wonder if you would... Actually, I'll just look at him and I'll do my best impersonation of this. If you could just ask him if he could put the mic on the crowd. I'm afraid. That would be incredible. This is why we need two mics. Okay, okay. Dennis Nordman is here too, so I'm going to ask. Dennis Nordman is here. I don't know if you've been there right now. Nick, this table has LED lighting, correct? Yes. Let me get in from Stern Games from now on or all of them. I want to say Metallica on our all-LED. Hello, Extreme. Thanks for joining us. Including the Iron Man Vault Edition is all LED, which makes it incredibly bright. If you go and play the one in a flip-out tournament right now, it looks nothing like yours because it's so brightly lit. But it saves on electricity. It does. It's like more electricity. It's like 25% of the power consumption of like a ballpark. Electricity is what the world runs on. We have plenty of it. Yeah. It's free. It's like water. Yeah. You just scoop it up. It's like the internet. It's tubes. I want my own fucking tube of internet. Everybody go into the closet, throw out all of their halogen and LED bulbs and all that shit. Get some... Get the making of them bulbs like a gentleman. Like a gentleman. Like a, like a, what do you want, blinky lights? Winky or blinky? Pinball Joe says jackpots are legit.
    63:52
    Jackpots? Jackpots are legit. No, jackpots. Oh. You jackpots are legit. Oh, jackpots are legit too, but jackpots are legit. I think Dan Yelly's blowing it up. I'm going to get a closer view here first. He's got 40. Start sword multi kill.
    64:14
    Oh man, where are you from? No, it's multi kill, not multi bomb. What's up, Troy? Good to see you, brother. Good luck here, man.
    64:27
    Ah, the right machine. I'll keep pointing at him. $1.1 million to be on the leaderboard. Yeah. Good to see you, brother. If Daniele gets another $10 million,
    64:43
    it's a small two for him, too. So I feel like this is not a problem. He's been doing great all the tournaments. He's been killing the main tournament, killing the classics.
    64:55
    Onward and upward. Pinball is taking off. It's the greatest thing. Yo, them both like this kid, right? Hi, Joe. How are you? Joe, you should have been here, man. We would have had a lot of fun drinking, laughing each other. We missed playing late night ATV with you. Late night ATV. Joe taught us ATV. When ATV was new, Joe, we stayed up late Wednesday night or whatever it was, playing ATV with Joe. Are you sure that's the same Joe? Yeah. Oh, yo, Dan Yelly just got 56. He's got a high score number one. Oh, okay, then I read that wrong. Yeah, no, it's fine. I played three games.
    65:37
    Oh, okay. No, that's not good because what I heard the staff say is that Jeff's going to take the top four. So, Daniele with $56 million does not qualify. Daniele, that's a bummer for a lot of what's going on. Is that what the sports announcer was going to say, a bummer? This is a real dark day in pinball. It's a dark day for pinball. That sounds better. It's a real dark day in Timbal.
    66:06
    Side note, Vice is here, and they want to interview us. Meanwhile, Coy is on Ball 3, and he's only got about $6 million. But you know what? He's a Ball 3 kind of guy. That's something I like to say about people that are on Ball 3. He's a Ball 3 kind of guy. That's what you like to say about people that are doing coin? Here's what he's doing. All right, he's nodding his head like this. He's going, okay. All right. Now we got it in the pop-up. That's it. So Coy walks away with about $6. 6.2 million. 6.25 million.
    66:36
    We got Sean Thorne here in the middle. Oh, New York. He's always doing well from New York. He's not on our stream, but he's in front of us on the second game. Real point, Adam. He's only on his first ball, but we'll keep you updated on his score. Everyone that couldn't make it tonight or this weekend, you're really missing out, but I encourage you to try to come out next year. This is a really awesome event. Lots of great people here. It's like pinball royalty walking around everywhere. Any person you've ever known to make any incredible machine is just drinking a beer, bumping into you, pulling out knives like Steve Ritchie, almost stabbing you. I remember last year at this event, we were standing in line. Steve Ritchie almost stabbed you with a knife. We were standing there with Steve Ritchie, he pulled out a knife and he almost stabbed me. Yeah, he's like, check this out, and he flips it. He's like, you guys like knives? And it touched his shirt, but it didn't kill him. It touched my shirt. He whipped it out and like his shirt went whoosh. It would have been... That would have been the greatest moment of my life. That would have been the story. Yeah. I got stabbed by Steve Ritchie.
    67:44
    It was basically, you called out a knife. Yeah, right. And he's like, this is not... So it was a tiny little thing, but he didn't know how to control it, and it just sort of flew into Brad's chest.
    67:58
    He'll hit the mic again. Oh, it is. All right. Wally? The robot? Wally. Molly Atkinson. Do you know how many streamers you have? Yes, but we have to ask because we can't see it on the phone. I think there's only like 20 or 30. How many streamers do we have right now? We don't know. We can't tell. Can't watch. Too jealous. Titan Pinball. Thanks for coming back, buddy.
    68:28
    I'm a pinball streaming star. Right now we got first place Chris Frame. Second place Maka Oni. Yep. Third place. I feel like Bob.
    68:41
    John Rapogle. If you'll remember the gentleman we talked to earlier from Papa TV. He actually made fourth place. He had fourth place. My man. That's the most you ever had, right? Everyone, thanks for the heads up. 32 people, that's awesome.
    68:57
    So these are, I couldn't even wait to get like 70 something. Yeah. So these are all great stores. We're going to have to talk Stern into bringing Walking Dead machines to our studio in order for us to stream that for an entire week, and then we can actually have a quiet one-on-one with y'all. Did Steve Ritchie break the knife and yell, I am the Black Knight?
    69:25
    I wish. It was more just a drunken, like, check the type out. I don't know. It was awesome. Whatever. He, like, flicked it out, put it back in, flicked it again, and just sort of slid. Here's the thing. If it was some weird random dude, I would have been scared. Yeah. But because it was Steve Ritchie, I was like, this is the greatest thing ever. Remember that Josh Stark, remember that Josh Stark owes us $5. Yeah, don't forget that Josh Stark owes me $5. Oh, right. Hey, how does the DMV look? Is it still good? Okay, no one's kicked it yet? Beautiful. Sean Storm is currently at $20 million. He's going to need $63, $64 million to make it onto the board. But, I think he's on ball one or two right now. What a champion. And he's playing on the center machine, which we were told was the machine to play.
    70:23
    You know what we need? We need, like, an IP Wi-Fi camera to have a fourth camera to, like, walk around with. Like an energy camera. Yeah.
    70:31
    Because they're just listening to disembodied heads. I can do something. Well, yeah. But then I'd need some sort of contraption to... You need a control board. I just need more money. If we could find Wake Thon, Wake Thon said he'd love to talk to us. He doesn't have anything to do with Walking Dead, but he's like, I can talk about it. The animator. No, he did not. He said he did not want to talk to us, but if we wanted to stay, like, with Star Trek, he would talk to us. What is new with Star Trek? Oh, somebody tilted my machine.
    71:04
    That stream better be fine. It won't help you out, dude. Why don't you tilt it? I don't know why. Don't tilt. Don't ever tilt.
    71:13
    Always do. How's it going, brother? I'm Jack. Nice to meet you. Jack. Pleasure. Have fun with Bonus. Knew who you were.
    71:32
    Oh, yeah. Why aren't you here, Bouton? Ladies and gentlemen, the line for The Walking Dead is about ten more people beat.
    72:04
    And it looks like we have two more ringers in line. We got Stan Spawa, which is a pretty good player. Spawa.
    72:17
    We're good, we're good. Yo, tell your girlfriend to stop texting me. I'm trying to do something. You can tell her yourself. Oh, hey, yo, yo, girl. Why don't you just calm down for a second?
    72:31
    Why don't you just order me that pizza we were talking about? I like how you dropped that option. Yo, girl. I would love some pizza right now. Hey, you know, just pizza. Willie, you know. Lack of vacation days.
    72:44
    What about sick days? After the stream, how many beers do we need? Stream, how many more beers do we need? Because we're going to be playing pinball all night and we are fresh out. I'm still double fisting.
    73:01
    I'm getting three. My man. Time to turn bro with Shrek. You guys are live streaming this? Yeah. How do you do that? Magic. So he's on the mic right now. I'm mic'd right now. And we're all talking. That's their camera? Show them the layout here. So we've got three cameras. We've got one over the break field. We've got one. The person playing and the DMV. And then we've got the DMV. It's hard to adjust for different heights of people. That's Beard, though? Yeah. Wow. We've got Beard. Oh, my man, the Beard.
    73:33
    I'm going to go to the bay. to Stern and their new acquisition of the Walking Dead franchise. Congratulations. I think it's a great game. I think it's perfect. I like the Walking Dead. It's cool. It's a cool game. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's a big game, baby.
    73:57
    Great. Stop fucking texting me. I'm joking. I love you. Sorry, you're off the screen. I wanted to see you on. Oh, okay.
    74:09
    We're going to move. Load up. You guys are fucking a holler. I'm sorry to Nick's girlfriend for yelling. Yeah, yeah. Yo, you're strong-arming me right now, bro. Yo, you want to go? Yeah, where are we going? Wait, no, just anywhere, like maybe McDonald's.
    74:28
    Yeah, let's go to McDonald's. I'm hungry. Stan. Oh, brother, yeah, we have this machine set up for live stream right now. Oh, I see that now. Yeah. And a lot of people talking shit. It's pretty good.
    74:43
    We have a new entry into fourth place. No, fourth place is still there. Donovan Steff. Oh, my man. Oh, he's still playing. It's his third ball. He's still got to go. Holy shit. Donovan Steff is at... We got a guy here off camera who's at 66 right now. That's 66 million, which puts him at third place right now. And he gets 71. And he's ball two. Or ball three now. Yeah. 67 and ball three.
    75:11
    Hey, can you look at my head and tell me if it's dying? Two things. Your ass looks great. Oh, we have two things? Second of all, the battery pack is okay. Yeah.
    75:24
    My machine has a lot to do with... Oh, yeah, a lot to work with here. So Donovan, in 69. DJ Argus agreed that magnet is a pain in the freaking butt. What is it? The magnet underneath the jail. It just holds it and it doesn't whip it around. It just lets it go.
    75:48
    At 70, he's almost in second place. All right, he's currently in second place. I'm sick, boss. I can't live without pinball right now. Ha, ha, ha.
    76:08
    John Rapp logo. That's right. Yep. That means Escher, who played absolutely first in this entire tournament, is still fourth place. Got one more purchase and I'm not lost. Also, Escher is, what, 11 years old now? Yeah, and I almost didn't recognize him today because he shaved his head. He looks tough. He's a tough-looking 11-year-old. I'm like, this dude's going to beat me. Oh!
    76:35
    Oh, baby. That's a lot of money. 78 million puts him way ahead. Oh, he's number one, baby. He's number one by far.
    76:47
    Part one of the webcams I've done. How about some station identification? You're one of these guys playing the mics. Oh, so folks, welcome to the stream. My name's Jack Danger. With all means, with all, wait. Let's start this over. Hey, I'm Jack Danger. With me always is Nick Gamble and Brad Stark. We're JetFlip. We're a local Chicago pinball league. and we do a stream every day, Monday through Friday at 5 p.m., and Stern was kind enough to let us stream their Walking Dead launch party. So everything you're seeing is one of the three machines. We're trying to give the best commentary we can as drunk as we can. Drunk as possible.
    77:32
    Should I go try to maybe get some Stern people to talk about the game? Let's wait for this to die down a little bit. I thought Tanya a little bit. I think he's our gunner. Wait, who's the animator with the long hair? We're Tanya. What? We're Tanya. No, we can try to get Borg. Listen, I'm just trying to play the Yelp theme, but our boyfriend won't talk to me. Borg designed the game. Oh, Borg designed it? Should we try to get Borg? If we can talk to Jody, Jody can get a car. Right. Well, listen, we, yeah, folks, we know a lot of girlfriends of famous pinball people. We don't know the, oh, yeah, that commentary. That drunk commentary? Yeah. We have Gorg and Lyman. Well, see, you're the teacher.
    78:28
    What? No, not you. Oh, my gosh. I just called. I'm sorry. I can try to... Let's call the girl up. She's involved. Anyway. I can try to buzz somebody.
    78:39
    Yeah. Splitabiss, this is not... I'm assuming that's how you say your name. This is not the main tourney. This is just the launch party inside the hotel where the tournament is. Jody, my man! Jody, everything going well for my boy? It's going incredibly well. Can I do anything for my boy? I think we're great. Could we possibly get more? I think I'll talk to him about the game. Oh, baby.
    79:05
    Well, so Borg is going to, well, he's really bugging him. And it's making me uncomfortable. Everyone look down at your views. Internet, get your questions ready for the designer of this game. Please tell Borg. Brother, let's go talk, man.
    79:23
    How's it going, brother? Jack, nice to meet you, man. How are you doing, Fred? This is my buddy, Nick. How are you doing, Nick? We're streaming live right now on Twitch, and they're asking questions, and we're asking questions. Yeah, what do you guys have to ask? So, The Walking Dead is a great piece. How did you initially approach it?
    79:46
    Well, actually, I started watching the show on the floor. I got the mic on again. I sat down. I asked an hour before we did it. I guess people mic'd right there. Yeah, sure. I mic'd up, but I'll hold this off of my body here. When this show came on air, I sat down in front of the TV a half an hour before the first episode started. And when I found out that I was going to get the license for this game, I was ecstatic. I loved the show. Oh, hell yeah. And I decided that when I... when I decided that I was going to start the game... I think Lyman's calling you.
    80:26
    We have that Lyman Chief there. So when I got to watch the game, I wanted to make it cool about killing bats. Oh, yeah. As it should be. That's the funnest thing I've ever heard of. I love the characters in the show, but I figured it was a game for people to do about killing bats. Yeah, for sure. And it's a lot of fun, man, I've got to say. It took a lot of different aspects of different machines that Stern's produced and sort of put them in, like, the coy that you hit, like the Wolverine shot. Like, that well zombie is so fun to hit, it's out of control. Like, seeing them sort of, like, clap back like that. I love it. You know, it's like the Wolverine shot, but it's so much better. It's so much better. It's a little more animated. Right. Yeah. You actually get to see a move instead of just the ball, like, bouncing off of it. It's pretty legit. Yeah, man. Well, I got to... Oh, sorry. Go for it. No, no, sorry. Now he's got a magnet in front of the well zombie. Oh, really? If you hit the well zombie in the switchboard, the ball comes flying back at you. Oh, no kidding. Because you feel like you're really battling. It's really fighting back at you. That magnet currently in front of the jail, that thing is kicking people's butt. Oh, yeah. It's a dream monster, but it's good. What do you got here? I know we want to have that, and that's a hot topic, I think. I don't think we need to get controversial with this. Yeah, we don't. Not on this game. Not on this game? Sure. It's coming. All right, that's good. That's a good answer. It's coming. The LCD is coming. That's right, man. No, that'll be exciting to see. Sure. Yeah. Everything's been great so far. Thanks for everything. Thanks for everything, man. It's been awesome. I love it. It's great. Did you play yet? I haven't played yet. You have to go in and beat everybody. You've got to beat everything. You know, I've been first lucky. The first launch party we had, we had Big Buck Hunter, and I failed miserably. I won Iron Man, Avatar, and then I won second place on the Metallica launch party. Oh, nice. He won that. Yeah, he was the one.
    82:43
    I'm glad you won because I, you know. You feel bad. Yeah. I felt great. Yeah. I'll give you all my good feelings. Thank you, John. Thank you. Brother, thanks so much, man. Thank you, guys.
    82:56
    Appreciate it, brother. Hey, Nick, can you hold my beer so I can re-mic myself? Sorry about the audio, folks.
    83:08
    I am a sweaty, disgusting pig. Don't drink my beer. That was a pretty good get. Yeah, that was awesome. I think we were not prepared for that. Yeah, that was really quick. Sorry. But one person asked a question, and we did get kind of an answer. Yeah. We were, honestly, Jody took action a lot quicker than I thought he was going to. Go, go, go. Questions. He's like, oh, you want to talk? Let's do this. Well, the LCD is coming. That's good. Yeah.
    83:39
    It's only the third week we're doing this, so next time we'll be on the questions. Way better. Oh, yeah. Also around us is Lionel Keith, who might be a little shy to talk to. I'm scared to talk to him. He's an incredible, nice guy. I think he's going to, he might punch me in the face. He's never going to punch anyone in the face.
    84:03
    Hey, when are you going to cut people off, man? Remember when you guys cut us off last year? Hey, this should feel better. He got cut off at last year. Dude, the Star Trek, he just put his hand in front of me, flicked me off and said, see you later. I should have researched it a bit better and gotten my ass down here instead of, you know... Were you the last person to get cut off? It was the oil. Oh, crap. It was the oil. We were in line. Sorry, brother. He's not even that good. I bet I could be done playing before he's done playing. Yeah? Yeah. I think what they don't like is, like, if you showed up after they cut off and you blew it up and knocked someone off there, there would be blood everywhere. Yeah.
    84:45
    Oh, well. I promise I'm not getting $64 million. All right. And Escher's been up there since game one. Yeah. He put that up. He was the first person to play. Since before he's still up there. What? Joe Blasie. Joe Blasie's here with us right now. Hey. You still have my tickets. I bought some more. You're on more? So Joe is a Chicago local. You're pretty high right now in Illinois. Oh, that's before that. Yeah, but what are you before then? I don't know, I don't get trashed! You're like twelve or something! Yeah, I just play automotive, I play automotive, and next weekend I'm doing morphine! Next weekend we're going to go to the... Joe, I believe in you, I will see you in case. I think I know what he is, though. I'm not really here to be a... Uh, I guess... I think it's... Oh, come on. I mean... What about the other guys? Uh, yo, we're getting drunk, it's fine. Um... I think so.
    85:47
    Even the insert. Let's see what the game's going on here. This gentleman on our machine right now is eight million?
    86:04
    Oh, eight million it is. That will not be enough. I think you just got cut off, man. By what? Like being too late? No, you might be fine. Never mind. I don't care. Stand in line. Kill it, brother. I got the thing done, and I wasn't... Oh, they turned it off. All right. All right, well, we're live streaming, so I've got to figure out how to turn that off.
    86:31
    Ladies and gentlemen, they just turned off our machine because... Is that it? The launch party has officially ended. No.
    86:39
    There's still one more person playing. All right, so... Wait, what the hell? Wasn't that just conference time ago? Bullshit!
    86:48
    Nothing. You're doing great. Jack. You get what you needed? Oh, yeah, man. I appreciate your help. Yep. It's going really well.
    86:58
    What? Father and son, now for the left. Looks like the practicing on the machine. Oops. Oh, wait, there has to be... Wait.
    87:30
    Wait, doesn't there have to be a playoff? Yeah, I don't know. But it's not on our machine. Oh, we've been livestreaming that machine right there.
    87:43
    Yeah, this is awesome, brother. Gary's turn. Yeah, right. Jody. Actually, Jody killed it for us. Are we done? I don't know.
    88:02
    Remember, a sharp... Titan Pinball, thank you. Remember, a sharp OZ-5 dollars. Thank you, Titan Pinball.
    88:10
    I'm going to go bug him right now. The number one seed shows that machine. So that's the one that I'll play on.
    88:18
    Well, there's not much we can do about switching over to that. Yeah. Folks, the finals will not be played on our machine,
    88:27
    but I am willing to angle one of the cameras. All right, here we go. Hey, can you hold that? All right, folks, we're going to move a camera here Try to get the Wooly Bully player here.
    88:58
    I want you to do... Wait, what? No, don't touch anything. Touch nothing. I said don't fucking touch anything.
    89:12
    Folks, I'm swearing. I'm sorry. Uh, where's the full screen? I have a full screen but I can't find it.
    89:47
    Where the hell is the bike I got an idea, folks. All right, bud. Here we go. Fred, move your ass. I'm trying to do something.
    91:25
    Hey, Brad, can I ask you to move a little bit? Brother, good seeing you, man. So right there, folks, is your finals being played.
    91:55
    I'm holding this like an asshole. Now I'm going to switch cameras because this is stupid. Stupid. Switching cameras, love everybody, don't get angry, everything's great.
    92:42
    Don't get salty, we're just working on this. Almost there, almost there. I'll probably take the tape off of here.
    93:46
    Give me a solid and hold this and aim it at them. However you want to shoot it. I don't know how to do it. Just aim it at somebody. That's my favorite. All right. Y'all are about to get real sick with my homemade hand cam here. Thanks bud. stick with my homemade hand cam here. Thanks bud. Uh, crap. People kept standing in front All right. We're going to break one more time.
    94:31
    We're almost good. All right. Just don't stand in the way and we're solid. Zombie Walker shaking in perspective.
    94:52
    All right, that should be a lot better, folks. All right, cool. Cool. Coolio. Yeah, that's Fishcake's jam, which will stop shortly.
    95:32
    Beautiful. There's a tripod behind the bar stand there. Don't worry. The shaking will stop. Okay, here we go. This is pretty cool.
    95:52
    Oh, I love your girl. All right, I think we're good. As long as no jerks stand in front of us. My man, how you been, brother? Good to see you.
    96:17
    You're late. What's that? You're late. I was back here setting up the live stream for the pinball here.
    96:30
    It's something. That's for sure. Go hover over Don. Right. You doing good, man? You doing good? Awesome. Kill it. Yeah, I bet.
    97:00
    Actually, I left off playing with headphones on. He's behind me sort of relaxing right now. Now I've got to say, for just three webcams and a wireless mic, this turned out to be a pretty decent stream. I want to thank everyone else for coming. Again, you're all awesome. Love you. And again, if you want to see more Pinball, we stream every day, Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. Central. Come check us out. Big shout-out again to Stern for letting us stream their Walking Dead party. This is incredible. Maka!
    98:01
    Yeah, your four players right now are Jonathan Stepp, Chris Frame, Maka Honig, and Esther Leshoff. Fun with bonus. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. It was very spur of the moment that they offered to let us do this, so I'm glad we brought all the equipment. My drinking buddies have left. Oh, there's Dirty Donny. Oh, buddy.
    98:39
    Alright, that's the left top set-up. I'll give you guys a heads up on the scores. Right now Escher's walking into ball two with 36 million points, and he has tripled the next person's score. Like, he's just killing it right now.
    98:58
    Can I have another beer? I'm covering the coverage with coverage. Yeah. We're recording the finals here, and I'll just let people know the scores because I can't get any closer. I'll take your little baby bear.
    99:19
    Gee, thank you. Honestly, The Walking Dead is a lot of fun. It has a lot of the toys that you love from all the games, with some pretty mild improvements. But the ramps on this thing are just so freaking awesome. They're wide and easy to hit.
    99:43
    Bowen's over here. I had a cab with Bowen. I don't want to bug him too much. I don't want to step on Papa's toes.
    100:01
    Escher just moved up to 41 million. He's rocking the prison and the well right now. Sorry for the dad noises I've been drinking.
    100:25
    This young lad that you're seeing before you was the reason I got destroyed in C Division in Papa two years ago. He was in C? Yep. How? And now he's in A. That dude is incredible. How did he miss C? So, Escher walks away from ball two with 42 million.
    100:47
    Donovan Sett. Walks up to the machine, coming into ball two at 10 million points. Wait, where's Donovan? What? Why am I spacing? This is mock-a-honey. I imagine it's like in the order of how they are.
    101:15
    Someone keeps farting and it's making me nauseous. If it's your fourth, then mock it's third. Yeah, but look.
    101:25
    Folks, we're being idiots and we're uncertain about the player playing right now. It's Donovan. I knew it. It's Donovan. Yeah. Look. I just imagined everybody would hit some last.
    101:39
    New game, walking drunk. I'm sorry. I'll try not to swear my words. Esther, what is Esther listening to? I bet they're just, honestly, they just look like noise-canceling headphones.
    101:58
    Oh, baby. Hey, Esther! What are you listening to? I think noise canceling. Noise canceling? Right on. Cool. So the answer is you're listening to nothing. It's just noise canceling. Noise canceling. So, Jared, what they're playing for is...
    102:19
    It's over, yeah. They're playing the final. So they're playing for $345. So first place gets 40% of that. Second place gets 30%. Third place gets 20%, fourth place gets 10%. Plus there is an amazing looking trophy with the well zombie on a plaque. Oh, it's right there.
    102:45
    Oh, here. Let me see if I can show it off. Okay, yeah, show it real quick. No one can see it. You can put it back.
    103:00
    It's just a well zombie on a plaque. Let's do this. Can you put your bear down and shine a light on that so I can show people?
    103:18
    That's the trophy right there. Move your hand a little bit. It's a creepy zombie on a flag. Awesome, dude. Thank you.
    103:32
    Tell Joe to go away. Yeah. Wait, I mean... I gave somebody $20 earlier, folks, to get away from me. And it worked. But it was expensive.
    104:05
    I feel like you set a precedent. That's not good, though. Right. So, Donovan is up to $29 million. Jared, it's actually a pretty cool pin, I gotta say. And the code is, you know... It's infancy. Yeah. I can only see it getting better than this, and I already like it better than Metallica at this stage. I like it better than Star Trek at this stage. Yeah. I don't want to be that dude who's hype about a pin that's this early, but I really feel this one. Right. Like, the toys are in place. You can't change that, and everything hits really well. So they can only make it better by getting that code to be super freaking sweet.
    105:11
    You can do whatever you want, brother. Wait, how the hell do I know you? Yeah, probably. Papa briefs.
    105:21
    Jack Danger from Chicago. My man, Papa. Charlie, pleasant to meet you. I'm Jeff. She's good. I'm trying to control everything I know. Hell yeah.
    105:37
    Like drink a lot of beer. Hey, I need more beer. We're still live. Hey, do you want to say anything to anyone? I love you, stream. I love you, Twitch. Yeah.
    105:49
    All right, good job. You're hitting the camera. We've consolidated to one camera. Personally, I am not of the school of buy a machine. This is Red Shark talking. This is Red Shark. I do not buy a machine until the code is close to done. So this game you'll buy in about a year and a half. I would maybe buy this in a year and a half, but I like where it's going.
    106:16
    Thanks for the beer, Nick Campbell. I like where it's going. I like this. I probably won't ever get a Star Trek. I probably won't ever get an Avengers or a Mustang. ATVC is probably the best turn that has come out I think in the last five years I love that game but this seems pretty good, I like it so far hashtag Donovan Longplay yo, Donovan's killing it Donovan's up to it's already 52 Donovan has moved up to 52 million I just played a good game of Firepower if anyone's asking no one's asking for those of you asking I did great at Firepower thank you very much there's only one hour left for tonight to play in the flip out tournament the main tournament goes till 2am I changed my mind oh we got a beef steak and retracted oh that tilt though oh he didn't tilt
    107:25
    Donovan getting his rick set on. Jeff Hooper's over here. Bob Twitchell's with us, folks. Hooper! Sorry about the view. Let's see if we can get in a little closer.
    107:55
    Yo, I wish I could whisper to you right now and tell you how well this has gone with stealing stuff. No, your Wi-Fi kept going out. Good. I thought it was. What did you end up doing?
    108:20
    It doesn't matter. Stealing Wi-Fi. I stole Wi-Fi. We'll never know. Oh, they can't see us, though. And it works great.
    108:37
    To drinking. The free Wi-Fi. Thank you, Wi-Fi. Folks, again, thanks for coming. It's been an awesome night. It's been a long night. I hope you folks learned a thing or two about The Walking Dead. The finals are going on right now. Is that Maka or Chris?
    108:57
    I want to say Maka, but I met him before. I don't remember. I don't think that's him. The gentleman that's up right now has $14 million.
    109:13
    How about old boy from the Geek Knights up here? This dude right here with the blonde hair. Oh, yeah, yeah. Hey. Ding dong. What's his name? Where's the... Yeah, that's Macahoney. Thank you, Fun with Bonus. I appreciate it. We need to find... Thank you, Fun with Bonus. We need to find... He's a smart guy. He actually has the Pitbull Dictionary.
    109:39
    Yo. Oh, really? Yo, dude. So, that's Steve Bowden. Yeah. Steve. Bowden. Steve Bowden. We have a large dictionary ourselves. It's a stupid show. You say about pinball? Oh, so many things. We need to collaborate. Yes. We desperately need to collaborate. Yeah, collaborate and listen. That's mama. Mama honing. This is... That's Maka. Yeah, this is Maka. I play... So, he's from West? West, I think.
    110:09
    I want to say I met him out West somewhere. Out West? Nick, I would appreciate it if you stopped farting near me. I'm not farting near you. I mean, I would tell you. You know me. Okay. But, you know, it's a pinball tournament. I don't mean to be gross, but it's actually getting really terrible in here. It is a pinball tournament. It's called bioterrorism. Or counting down your bonus. I think counting down your bonus is my favorite fake word for farting. That's where you stand at the machine and you start farting while your bonus is counting down. Right before it goes, so the next person who walks up is just ruined. Right. It's terrible. So everyone's like, why are you just standing there? I'm just waiting for my bonus to count down.
    110:52
    And really, we all know that. Okay, I think it's from Kansas City. Kansas City, yeah. Then we're all wrong. And I'm wrong. Hey, congratulations.
    111:04
    Nightbot, thanks for telling people to donate to Extra Life. Yay! It's a great cause for a lot of big children. Be awesome. You can donate whatever you want. $1, $10, $50, whatever you feel like. We do the stream and any money that comes into the stream goes directly to charities.
    111:23
    So be cool. Donate. Whatever. Love you guys. Thanks for coming. He's from around Seattle or Portland. Not sure.
    111:33
    Dude, public bonus. Chemical warfare. There you go. Give him all this. Counting down your bonus. This is Chris Frame. Maybe you can add a secondary definition to chemical warfare, which is toning down your bonus. All right. Which is, you know, just give it a go, wait. So, built?
    111:57
    Shitting the best? Shitting the, no. That's my thing. I think that came from me. Yeah, shitting the best. Where did that come from? Um, so, so Chris Frame just drained so quick. Up next we have Escher. Escher's coming into ball three with 42 million points. Wow, this could be good. This could be good. We have a lot of good scores here.
    112:23
    Oh, Schilt. Like a shit tilt. Shit tilt. Schilt. A shit tilt. I just Chilted it. A Schilted. Schilt is good. Schilt's pretty good. counting down your bonus off on the bonus and putting it in yeah i'm just waiting to count down my bonus i'm just counting down my bonus i'm counting down my bonus right now that's you bonus part down instead of meltdown bonus meltdown but bonus smell down no bonus part down I don't think you can just count what a fart will do to someone's head. That is a weapon. That works.
    113:08
    So, Escher is still killing it. He's got 44 right now. 44 currently puts him in third place. Oh, cool. Cool screen. Nice work.
    113:22
    Yo. You're killing it. That's great. I don't get to play in the tournament because I'm busy making people faint. No. If you want to hook me up with a mic, you can go play.
    113:34
    I can't do that. You wouldn't. I wouldn't. Dream, I'd never leave you. That's why I was way ahead of you on all the tournaments. I'm too busy dealing with other crap to improve my IFPA score. Have you played any tournaments? Zero. Nothing.
    113:50
    I'm currently picking your ass. Yeah, because I have zero. I didn't game that. Extra rules, exactly. Exactly.
    113:59
    So he just lit up prison multiball, so let's take it home. And Bob Switchel is standing in the way. We got a Bob in the way, I'm sorry.
    114:20
    Hey, Bob. Bob! Can I steal ya? We're uh, we're... Thank you brother. Thank you. Now that we've extracted the bob...
    114:42
    What, you guys betting on left off? It's like my backhand chopped. The sharps are changing large amounts of money.
    114:56
    So, Escher just used prison multiball to start well multiball, and now he's de-throwing the game. He's already up to 67, and it's throwing about a million every 30 seconds. He's already had, plus all the extra jackpot.
    115:18
    He's already 71. 76. 77. Almost to the high score for the qualifying round, which is amazing to do that twice in a row.
    115:33
    His first score was 64. He's at 78. And right now he's at 78. Oh, farce. Good as it is. Bad half ramp, but he recovered it. Half ramp again. Recovered. Oh, you went up the Woodbury secret away team. The away team, yeah.
    115:56
    Who is homeboy in the green shirt? Oh, that's Zach Sharp. What? Yeah, he's got a tall guy with a hat in his green shirt. That's Zach Sharp. Did you see the kid in the green shirt right now?
    116:10
    Ben Lurizal. The machine we were set up on is no longer on. The finals are being done on another machine because the winner of the qualifier has picked that machine.
    116:21
    So Escher leads off with 84. Two ejections. Yep. Escher is 84. Donovan is 59. He's coming into ball three at 59 million. Donovan needs about 20.
    116:39
    Yo, do math really quick for me. Five million. Donovan's tip yo if Lee Fangberg's watching we're sorry but we use your name to describe dangers to people again folks we're dead flip I'm Jack Danger on the mic with me is Nick Campbell Nick, say hi. Hi. My man and Bradstart. What's up, what's up? Yeah. And our stupid dumb friend who moved to Cleveland, Dave Kiss, who was our fourth member, but no longer with us. He's not dead. He just moved. Oh, he's not dead. He just lives in Ohio. He's a dead, dead person. He's not dead. He just lives in Ohio. Quote that.
    117:34
    Donovan's out. Donovan is out. That puts him at second place currently. Second place currently. He's got him in. But third place right now is Maka Honig. Maka Honig is stepping up with $54 million in ball three. He doesn't have much to get to second place. Maka's going to need about $6 million to move into second place and about $30-some million to move into first place. Oh, yeah. Got a big game ahead of him. We got a Josh Sharp elbow in the way. That's good. That's all right. It's a sexy elbow. It's clean. It's shaven. Black Steven. I bet it is. He likes fruit.
    118:15
    He likes fruit. So they're starting to wheel in. Oh, no. That's it. Where does Maka leave us, though? Maka's in third place. Maka's in third. But we have Chris. Chris Crane. Who can still pull out. He walks into Ball 1 with $2 million and just got a $2 million skill set up. He is way, way behind. Robo Disco. Coral? What am I looking at? Jack, do you want to pay sell the daily thing? Oh, so folks, we stream pinball Monday through Friday every day at 5 p.m. Central. Stern was kind enough to let us stream their launch party tonight.
    119:09
    This whole broadcast will be archived for you to watch later if you want to see how people were doing, how they blew up the machines, how they qualified.
    119:18
    The finals, unfortunately, are played on another machine, so we're doing our best to get a full screen cam here. But if you've got nothing going on, Monday through Friday, you're bored, sitting at home in your underwear drinking a beer, you're like, I wish there was some pinball stuff going on, tune in to Jack's List. Let's go. We're drinking. We're screaming. We're playing pinball. We're playing in our scuffs. Get on Reddit. Get on Pinstype. Talk about it. I don't know, man. Talk about it. Spread it.
    119:49
    And there it is. Love you. Love you guys for coming. I appreciate it. It's so great. All right. Rick is still playing. He's trying to beat some really high school.
