We got a lot of good stuff on tap. Okay, cool. So we got some poor man's personal news. So I added this little twist to it, all right? um and full disclosure i changed all the notes about a day ago it didn't save it didn't sync on my one note so i know this is a big shock to you guys so prepare yourself are you sitting down we might have to wing it a little bit today people just automatically turn this episode off our usual polished style might be a little sloppy if you think just a little bit if you think you expected a sloppy episode today well guess what we are gonna deliver if you came here for that you're in luck uh no we had two weeks to prepare for this episode it's been great i have a basic outline i know what i'm doing i've done this can you believe this is episode 96 yeah we've done this a few times we've done it just a couple of times a few times so uh we have today for the First time ever. Come on, live button. There we are.
    9:12

Anyway, go ahead. If you guys listen at home, the unicorn went across the screen, and we have no idea why, but we love it. Well, it is what it is. All right. Poor Man's Pinball Tribe News. Because now we have so many tribe members, and they're all doing great and wonderful things. So I thought, why not celebrate them by having their own little snippet of a segment that we're going to talk about what the tribe's doing. I like it. Okay? I like it. We got some April Fool's pranks on Drew. I know we're a little past April Fool's, but I want to call out some assholes on the show.
    9:56

Can we just say that... It's more or less we love the pressure of just disappointing every week. Could you imagine if somebody about five weeks in said, how long are these guys going to last? And someone would have said... I can't believe it's been five weeks. Yeah, I give them six weeks.
    11:01

And, uh, and then it's, I don't know, a couple hours later and Tim Lee tells me like, you know, it's, it's a joke and I'm like, okay, fine. Then the next day, Zach many text me and Zach many says, Hey, someone told me that Futurama or no, I'm sorry. Tim Lee didn't tell me at that moment. Sorry. I skipped a step there, but Zach many texting the next day and says, Hey, someone told me you're into Futurama. He goes, I'm hearing rumors that it's coming out soon. And he goes, do you want me to put you on the list? I know you're usually a premium guy, but do you want to be on the Ali? And once again, I'm like, I told him right away I said yes I want to be on that list that was like the first thing out of my mouth but the second thing was hey you know Tim Lee did this this and this so Zach Mennie being the nice guy he is he felt guilty and he told me he he keeled over right away and said dude I'm sorry Tim Lee put me up to this motherfuckers I told my wife this whole thing and like I said both times she was just rolling she thought it was so fucking funny I got sex from Tim Lee you know before April Fool's. He's like, what's the title that Drew wants the most? I was like, motherfucker, you don't listen to our show. He talks about it every other episode. Futurama. Once a month I mention it.

You know what Dennis Creasel said on the podcast this week? He made a joke in the beginning. Zach's like, oh, what are you up to? He's like, oh, I'm just being a volunteer firefighter, putting out fires in data centers. Good on you. Yeah, it's pretty good. I don't know. Data center, data center, data center. Some real news. Spooky Pinball, they're expanding. Did you see this? I saw it last week. We probably should have talked about it the last show. Yeah, I know. I didn't see it that day. I forgot about it. But by this summer, they're going to be double the production, which is very cool. So now they're going to be able to make 200 games a year. Ooh. What did I do? No, because right now they're making... It's 500. Yeah, 500. They do 500 a year. I was going to say, that just didn't sound right. Whatever. They're saying they're going to make, yeah, possibly like 30 games a week, 35. Good for them. Yes, it's awesome. We love Charlie and Bug. It is. Very cool. The whole family over there. They're all sweethearts. Oh, yeah. How can you go wrong with those guys? What was the poll? Oh, the poll. This is the same poll, actually. Choice of the game of the decade. All right. What's the new poll?
    28:11
    Oh, you scrolled down. Yeah. Hang on. No, no, no. Different one. I don't know what he's doing. Yeah, you do.
    28:22
    There was some stuff in there I wanted to talk about. Okay, whatever. All right, I'll find the new poll. Where's the new poll? God damn it. Okay, here it is. Well, last week's poll, see? No, I don't want to scroll up. Right there. Stop. There you go. What are your thoughts on collecting a birth year pin? As in, you were born this year, so you get a pin for this year. I have no interest in that. No. Unless I was born in 19... No, wait, how'd that work? Yeah, 1990-something. I was going to say 2021.
    28:52
    Yeah, I'm going back to where I was because, yeah, I don't care about those polls. Yeah, so like the Pinside Outage, I know it means a lot to some of these guys that are on all the time. But, you know, if I had four tear ducts, then I'd be able to cry four tears for all those guys. But I don't care.
    29:11
    Okay, back to where we were here. that's right where you were I know your scrolling is not working it's broke it's mine when it's broken guys you hear that it totally is Abe Flips have you been watching this stuff I know we talked about it a little bit but that Abe Flips thing where he's just kind of doing like flipper skills and stuff it's kind of cool it's very cool you just check them out I'm not going to spend too much time on it Deep Root haven't heard of them they sent out this thing saying that they're behind again and wasn't that last week it is last week's okay but they're saying like yeah i think if you just want your money back you can just get your money back now that what kind of confidence does that instill in somebody when they're like well if you want your money back to you know we'll we'll sell your spot to somebody else i don't know who had confidence to begin with i think you had confidence year one going into year two. Well, 132 people. Definitely going three years. I think it was 132 people. So, yeah. Well, that's okay. I mean, I hope they get their games.
    30:19
    At least they get their money back. I know Robert's not there looking to steal everyone's money. All right, what else we got? Not looking to. Jeremy Packer's Ghostbusters was featured on, well, not featured, but it was in a Saturday Night Live skit. Yeah. Yeah, it was in the background. That's pretty cool. Yeah. you know stern stern's make it into the mainstream you know why they're a lifestyle brand lifestyle brand they're on snl when i wake up i think well what's my lifestyle gonna be today oh yeah that's right stern i'm living the stern lifestyle what would stern do right here my boss is yelling at me what stern do it stern do flip it and pop it bump it oh yeah just waiting for you man yeah you're okay is that it for news yeah well alien pinball is finally going out the door oh it's awesome man yeah good for them i know uh some people are critical of the package but shit anytime we get new pinball it's awesome get more aliens out there you think that'll be more rare than the other alien do you think there's going to be or do you think they're going to be able to make a bunch of how many how many of the other one do you think they really made i don't know but i just want to know how many of these new ones are going to either sell or you know what i'm saying yeah no i do i i think or make how how far can they keep up with demand i don't know it's exciting though isn't it no it absolutely is i i think i think they only made like they had to only made like a hundred of the original ones i mean there aren't a lot out there so stolen metallica somebody stole a metallica pinball machine could you imagine making that call like hey i have this pinball machine in my house and now it's gone no mike williams i did not do you see this pinball holo mods creature hologram lcd kits oh yeah they're finally available to order nice so yeah the creature um hologram lcd kits that they used to have the mike d mod well now they have this new one go on pin side i think on their there's a dedicated thread to it but yeah you can order this mod he said uh what is it like 500 bucks 645 euros so probably like 700 it's like 25 bucks American so America so that's awesome man that's great news I was looking forward to seeing that in action so I love the Mike D mod so much it's one of my favorite it's very cool and I'm really surprised that well you know it's happening now because the hobby keeps getting more and more popular there's more and more people getting into it so you have these creative types that are like hey i can really monetize this which is awesome for them absolutely you know they should be making more of that stuff yep so um yeah no i think i think it's very cool yeah the uh one thing i saw today on facebook i'll have to mention to you it was the homebrew so if you guys haven't checked this out if you're on facebook definitely check out the homebrew uh pinball page it's uh it's fantastic they have all these great custom pinball machines, whether they were reefing. Sorry, Tim Lee said someone stole that Zeppelin Pro and brought it back. Aww.
    33:36
    So, yeah, then they, anyway, they had a conversation or somebody out there posted about how cool would it be to have the Warriors as a pinball machine. Sorry, Tim Lee, no one believes what you say now. Aww. That's right. He fucked with Drew. You're dead to me. Hey, Dave, how are you? Dave Brennan's in chat now. Dave, what's going on, brother? Dave, what's the next game for American Pinball?
    34:02
    I don't think Dave heard me. Bullshit, Dave. This is bullshit. You know. It's Futurama. Motherfucker. I'm going to turn off Drew's mic for a bit so he can just calm down and regroup. But no, they were talking about a Warriors pin. Didn't happen. I'm still here. And the Warriors pin is, give me this mic.
    34:25
    Would be an awesome pin. Do you guys know the movie The Warriors? Have you ever seen it? I know of it. No, I've never seen it. It's such a good movie. The soundtrack alone would make an amazing pin, not to mention total 80s cheese. But, you know, it's about the gang that goes from, I forget, New York, but one side of New York all the way to Coney Island. Yeah, you can do that with a lift now. They have to bop. They have to fight their way there. They have to bop. Did you say bop? That's what they do. They bop. and they bop their way all the way down. I can't gloss over this. They bop. No, we can't. That's what they do in the movie. We can't gloss over this. Man, if you didn't watch the movie, you're just not going to get the bop. You can't say they're just going to bop across the board. They got to bop. They got to bop each guy. All the gangs, they're all fighting. Guys, we're starting Fuck It Friday right now, okay? They're fighting. We got no other pinball news today, so you know what? No, I disagree with your bop statement. I'm in for a warrior. See, the Sleepy Dave. I'm sure it's fine. I'm going to watch the Warriors now. I want to see. Hey, Sleepy Dave.
    35:32
    No, I'm going to check it out. Warriors, come out and play. Steven Silver's badass. He knows this shit. Yeah, they had to bop their way through New York, and they had to fight all these other gangs. Of course Steven Silver's awesome. One more time. You loaded it, and now you just shot it. Oh, Skittles.

    All right, so we're going to go to you guys. Oh, and by the way, Jaeger also said that I would fall for it again. I hope Kathleen milked the time she had Drew sucking up to her. Yes and yes. Well, first off, you guys, Drew has never stopped sucking up to his wife. Oh, true story. True story. He's such a beta male in every sense of the word.

    Sorry, Chats. Pass the time, motherfucker. Chats going out of control as usual, so I'm okay with that. Anyways, go back to the Warriors. No, I'm just saying, that would be an amazing pin for me. I would love that. You have a pin out there that you're going to do a homebrew tomorrow. Okay. And let's just skip the Futurama part of it. But if you were going to start a homebrew, what would be the theme? Without Futurama?
    37:35
    That's a good question. Ooh, homebrew. Guys out there in chat, what would you guys have? Yeah. Give me a second there because I will come up with something. Because I know you would be the big trouble in Little China. Yeah, I'd like that. But I would actually probably tackle on the Warriors because there's a lot there. like the rules write themselves i wouldn't know what the hell to do to rule big trouble uh running running man silver ball social club oh i like that name the social club dresden files transformers 1984 tim lee i am with you jumanji would be a good one you know jumanji i could see being like uh like ripley's a little bit um yeah it'd be good what Real estate agent Drew Bouvier pinball adventure.

    Man, you put me on the spot, though. I'm thinking, what would I do as a homebrew game? How about Christian Schlater and Gleaming the Cube?
    39:00
    I wouldn't want to do that homebrew, but I could see that that'd be good. If we're just talking all this 80s stuff, that'd be pretty awesome.
    39:10
    I saw Ian actually got excited for once. Yeah, Gleaming the Cube. um yeah there's there's a lot of good ones out there mandalorian point break uh dr horror brew i am really with you on that mandalorian uh that would be awesome uh jeremy schmitz i would do futurama but we said we couldn't do that so um what else electric bugaloo break into the electric boogaloo dare see the breaking movies mm-hmm oh that's sweet i need to strap you down to a chair and do dirty things to you buddy you know what i would do for my son because he's my son is a big bill murray fan and there's already ghostbusters which i'm getting that pin soon um what stripes there she goes just walking down the street singing do what did he did he dumb did he do chris chandler says snakes on a plane just Just to have Samuel L. Jackson everywhere. And then, yeah, the call-outs alone. Who? Who is more timeless and ages less, Samuel L. Jackson or Keanu Reeves? As far as just their face? Just in general, yeah.
    40:30
    You see those guys and you're like, oh, he's the same guy he was 20 years ago. That's how I feel about Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman's been old forever. Morgan Freeman has been old forever. Forever. Morgan Freeman must be 150 years old. He is God after all. It's crazy. Rupert shows up and Morgan Freeman just talks him out of it with his soothing voice.
    40:53
    Oh, I'm not going to die tonight. And you know that guy doesn't get plastic surgery or whatever. No. A guy like that doesn't go there and be like, can you fix my face? He's looked the same since Prince of Thieves. Kevin Costner looks like he's 112. This guy still looks amazing. You know who else is kind of on that path? Like Will Ferrell.
    41:15
    That guy's always just going to look ugly. Yeah, he's kind of been that weird-looking dude, right? Right. No, I get it. He just hasn't changed, though, really. No, not really. It's a dumb look on his face. Yeah. I mean, if you look at some of the early Saturday Night Live's, though, I mean. Yeah, no, true enough. He has aged quite a bit, but it is funny. It is funny. That's a good point. But, yeah, Keanu Reeves, what did I say, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman. There's a handful. And like I said, you know they weren't getting work done. Evil Dead, Groundhog Day. Oh, Evil Dead. Snake Frenzy. Oh, Friday the 13th. Let's see here. Die Hard. I love the first half of Stripes. Yeah, that second half got really weird. Yeah, no, I agree. Second half of Garbage Day.

    48:48
    People need to know these things. And I don't put a penny in my loafer. I put a $100 bill in there. Yeah. I guess you could ask him if there was a Gucci pin, would he get a Gucci pin? Because he's always wearing Gucci stuff. He put that next to the Supreme pin? Yeah, you could also ask Kaneda why on his Facebook page. It's like all these really crazy, like, natural pictures of him, like reading a book. Tim Lee. There's that one photo of him. Did you guys see the photo of Kaneda leaving the hospital with his big Gucci robe on? And he's like, he's holding the baby.

    49:30
    He's like, I'm here. I have a baby, everyone. Look what I did. Look at beautiful baby Killian. He is the gift to the world. That's something I'd ask him. I'd ask him about that picture. Maybe we should put that as his baseball card picture. Steven Silver, Gucci Smoochies. What are you giggling about? Tim Lee, ask him if he actually likes pinball.
    49:57
    He likes pinball just fine. Sorry, that was the dad joke of the day. What do you call it when you make out with Kaneda? Gucci smooches.

    59:45
    Excuse me, officer. Do you know who I am? I've tried that before. Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. Oh, I got a great story. Oh, no. Yes. So the other day, my wife sends me to pick up some food, right? So I go to the local bar. It's by our house. I go there and pick up food, whatever, like once a month. And so I'm just like, yeah, I'll go get it. I'll have a drink. It's like 6 o'clock or whatever, 6.30. So I go there. I order a drink.
    60:21
    And it's packed. and I order my food and I'm just, you know, waiting there, just drinking, drinking my drink. And these two girls come up behind me and they're, I don't know, I'm thinking like early thirties and they're, they're hammered. Okay. And the one like sits down and like bumps into me and they're, they're cute. Okay. And she sits down next to me and the other one, I'm like, Hey, do you want it? Do you want to sit here by your friend? She goes, no, no, no, we're leaving. I said, okay. and I tell her drunk and I'm like, hey, are you making sure she gets home? The one that's sitting next to me? And she goes, yeah, yeah, I'm supposed to drive her home. I said, okay, fine.
    60:59
    What a dad. Exactly. So here I am, right? I'm the old man now. Yes. And this woman sitting next to me, they're giggling, hey, what's your name and this and that? And I said, Drew. And she goes, is that short for anything? And I said, yeah. Yeah, I said, it's Andrew. You know? So, I mean. Yes, it's short for Drew-ba-loo-ba-loo. Yeah. Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew.
    61:25
    So, anyways. That's short. So, the other girl, the girl standing behind me who's much more sober than her friend, she said, hey, she goes, just so you know, her brother's name was Andrew and he passed away. And I was like, oh, that's sad, you know. Yeah. And she goes, oh, don't tell them that. You know, they're giggling and stuff. Finally, she whispers something to her friend behind me. And she's like, are you sure? And she's like, yeah, I'm leaving. And I'm like, is this girl hitting on me? Is this what's happening right now? So anyways, this whole thing transpires. I get my food. You know, she's flirting with me, which I don't believe. The drunk one? Yeah. She was a nurse.
    62:04
    But then I asked her, you know. Clado Druski. Yeah, Druski. Is that short for anything? And Druski? I happen to not be wearing my wedding ring this day. Ah, there we go. Hang on. it gets plot thickens so so like drew at the local flop house without me because i'm sober i realize what's going on you realized that i know normally i would like you know skip over that but anyways i go home so so then i get my food and i'm like hey you know i'm like it was real nice talking to you but i gotta get home to my family is what i told her you know so i wasn't being like a like a douche right because i didn't want you know so i wasn't wearing my ring and i go home And I tell Kathleen, and she's like, you didn't tell that poor girl you were married? That was her response to that. It was hilarious.
    62:56
