Hey there, poor man tribe and other listeners. It's Neil from Fishtails. I bet you guys have been wondering where I've been all these days. Truth be told, about six months of no pinball means I gotta take a break from the silver ball. See, I've been wearing my pin shades while fishing. They're good for all sportsman's visions need to break out the glare of the water when past fishing for crappies. Plus, they're really good when you're looking sharp for the ladies at the tavern. If you need a pair, use the promo code POORMANSBF. So yeah, hey there. How's your eyesight? You want to play some pinball under the light of a thousand suns? Well, holy crapes, dear guy. Say goodbye to the retinas and go fucking blind with pinstadium.com. Use the promo code POORMANS, that's with an S, for a wallhanger of a deal. Now, if you're looking to catch a new Stern, JJP, CGC, or American pinball machine, get a hold of Zach at Flippin' Up Pinball. We got all the pinball machines for your live well. Now, I hear he's got an escalera thing, my Jiggy, to lift your boat up out of the murky water as a winter. But just tell Zach Neal sent you. Now, if you can't afford a new game, maybe flipping out pinball will have a used game. But I highly suggest going to pinballprices.com to cast spoons in Zach's market trends prices. See, I can't guarantee Doc uses the polynomials and such, but you get your best judgment from him and you'll hook and lunker. Okay, dear guy? Now, if you're really a poor man like me, take and download the Zen Studios Pinball FX3 for your PC or gaming console. Tell me that you can play virtual reproductions of the classics like Creature from the Black Lagoon or Shavecracker or Dr. Dude. I think you can even play a game of fishtails and hang out with your buddies, Neil and Bob. Now, lastly, there's TWIP. Now, that stands for This Week in Pinball. This is the website you want to go to to get all your pinball news, since there's no chance in hell you're going to hear about any of that from Ian and Drew. These guys couldn't catch a fish in a puddle. Anyway, thanks, Jeff Patterson. Now, roll the intro. It's the only podcast that can't seem to open up their Christmas stocking because it's dried shut with some kind of odd substance. Hey, never mind that bicep boner of dick weights. Here's something totally new to look at. An eight-sided spider dildo. Coming to you live this week only in the studio. It's Drew's favorite tribe member. Of course, I'm talking about tribe member number seven, Glenn Glenn Waechter. Glenn Waechter? Damn near killed her. Ho, ho, ho. Santa's pimp hand is strong. Welcome, guys. Poor Man's Pinball Podcast, episode number 85. This is the sloppiest holiday show on the internet. As our intro just stated, we have a very special in-studio guest. We were going to have Neil with us as well, but Neil, actually, right after that intro, he had to leave. His wife called him, and his wife was mad about something. Neil's gone. Yeah, something about ice fishing or something, some Midwestern joke. I don't know. He's out of here. But we got Glenn here. This is a great holiday show. Glenn lives in Tennessee, but he is originally from Wisconsin. He is here visiting family, and he was so kind as to come in. He's our first live guest, which is awesome. So, Glenn, welcome, man. Thank you. Thank you. I'm happy to be here. How do you feel? I feel like I've walked into a fantasy world. Is this basement like Pee-Wee's Playhouse, like everything you thought it could be and more? If you guys only knew what was behind the fourth wall. It's not that impressive. Yeah. I think it's a garbage can and a dead cat. I don't know. There's a Schlitz clock. There is a Schlitz clock. There are Schlitz clocks. You can't even say that. Yeah, a couple Schlitz clocks. We do. So we're all dressed up in our holiday gear, as you can see. We have a lot today on the show. So I'm going to run down this while Ian's playing peek-a-boo with you guys and his unicorn. Glenn, before I do that, though, why don't you stand up and show them your ugly sweater there? That is the most beautiful ugly sweater I have ever seen. This is a Santa hat on Drew. I love it. That is exactly what I would look like in a mankini. Yes. I've seen it. Ian has seen it. It's not pretty. I was just about to say. It's not pretty. So what are we going to do today? We are going to do news. We got lots of news from Twip. Stole it. I got my awesome finger gloves here, but I need to take them off because, A, it's hot as shit down here, and B... They smell like vagina. Yeah, they might. That's your upper lip. what are you doing i'm getting rid of the gloves not on my screwball you're not i'm making this festive but i'm making them so they don't flash tim yelled glenn okay he never says ian he never does that so see look i can make gestures with them already there um uh we talk about our best that's already bugging me that's already pissing me off eight seconds uh we're talking about our best 2020 pinball moments personal pinball moments i guess uh what do we expect in pinball in 2021 we'll discuss a few predictions that we might think might come true um we're gonna guess this is the big one for today i'm excited about this we're gonna guess what is underneath drew's hoodie okay so ian's dressed up in his unicorn schmutz glenn's got his ugly sweater drew's got something special for some of the guys and some of the ladies underneath here uh the way that's gonna work okay if we get to 1500 bits today sounds like a lot of money it's really not if we get to 1500 bits today drew will show you what's under his hoodie and no you can't pay me more to keep it on that's not happening it's coming off oh no you can pay him more it's it's hot in here um glenn uh glenn conducted a survey earlier on Facebook this week, so we're going to discuss that. And it's actually, it drew a lot of comments, a lot of conversations, and I think it's a pretty cool survey. So we're going to talk about that, talk about the results of that, and that should be a lot of fun. And then we're going to have a happy hour, and we're going to have some fun today. What do you think about that, Ian? Ian, what are you doing with those hands? That's just, I don't know, it doesn't bother me, but okay, that's good. I like that. That's actually kind of nice. I'm just trying to be cool, guys. Trying to be cool. This is where Ian conducts a puppet show for us. Ah. I love you. I love you. I knew it was coming. I love you. I knew it was coming. Puppet show. Moppy. All right. Are we opening up the bar? Yeah. Why don't you open up this bar? Come in. Grab a seat. The bar is open. So, the bar is open. And what you guys drinking? Glenn, what you drinking, buddy? Somebody over here made me a very delicious brandy old-fashioned. Ooh, Corbelle old-fashioned sweet. Drew, what are you drinking there, pal, out of that mug? More cum juice? Chris Chandler, one of our tribe members, he hates screwball, but he found a recipe online. It's called a screwed-off. And it's basically hot chocolate and screwball whiskey. You're supposed to have a candy cane in here, but I do not. I had a candy cane in my car, but you can't have it. I have one in my pants. Peppermint. But if I put that in here now, we're going to get kicked off Twitch. That'll be strike one, I think. How many strikes do you get? I don't know. I think it's one. The way Twitch has been going? It's one. The way you're talking about showing stuff in your pants, it's one. Get off. Strike. One small, very small, insignificant strike. But I am drinking out of my special Franchi mug, so that's kind of nice. It's nice and warm, even though it's super hot down here, but, you know, it's good. I like it. I'm drinking an old-fashioned as well. Corbello Fashion Sweet. It's delicious. Do you want to try a sip? Yeah. I'll get the COVID for you. Yeah, that's good. You have only the finest ingredients for a glass. When I'm done with my screwed-off, Ian's going to go back to the bar and make me one of those. We'll make a bar camp. What kind of bar camp is this? That is what's going to happen. All right. Hold on. I brought a bottle of booze. Oh, and Glenn brought a bottle of booze. Glenn's got gifts. So thank you, everyone, that's hyper-trained incoming. Oh, shit. Thank you very much for. It's a little fuzzy. Bring it back. Read it to the people. It is Old Natchez white distilled bourbon match. so what he's saying is white whiskey baby this is stuff that uh drew cannot afford but i'm gonna tell a funny it's not really a funny story but it looks delicious so glenn and i thanks for the bits guys glenn and i stopped at a liquor store on the way over here today and i'm never buying screwball again they charged me 37 for this bottle of screwball where'd you go uh we went to the place on south chicago it was crazy because like i've i don't go there apparently not i bought bottles for 26 i didn't ask how much it was i just went up there nobody cares because you're rich rich man's podcast rich man's podcast all right so beautiful good story not really nope oh for one oh for three probably oh that's the prediction that's the only three it's happening right now That's a good day. All right. Three bad stories. So the bar's open. We told you what we're drinking. Let's get into some fucking news. This week's news brought to you by Twip. Twip. We stole some shit from Twip. We did. Twip had a lot. There was a lot going on this week. Number one, just everyone knows this, but just a quick moment of silence. TPF is canceled for 2021. sad disappointing but um you know it's it's the right move right we're trying to keep people safe that's good uh you're asking me yeah i'm asking you why don't you take this i'm just here to look cute today there's a button tpf is one of the shows i want to go to because it's warm and that's why hang on hang on hang on cause cause is asking us how come no one uses the penis weights it increased his sex by three seconds that's uh that's impressive that's like in my world that's like adding 10 to my time honey i got this idea you bust that thing out all you got to do is show her and and you get an extra three seconds you get an extra three seconds but not an extra three inches Well, Kaz, you think that's the original? That's the problem, Kaz, because that's the fifth one. We keep breaking them. Your boner's too strong. Yes. We got too big. We use them every day. Yeah, I've been doing triceps with them now on my boner. It's been crazy. It's not just biceps. You can do triceps with it. Where else are you going to get pinball talk and dick weight talk? All in the same. You get teabagged every time you spot a rep. Yeah. well true I don't think we've talked about pinball yet no we have not we have not we're getting there guys we are slowly slowly very slowly getting there no idea that's way too late too hey everybody I think we're back maybe Drew's gotten a little bit more attractive Glenn how you doing I'm doing good doing great over here all right so sorry about that guys i am glad that we're all alive and doing well drew show us your nips again we need some more bits give drew some nips or bits um we're back so uh drew what is your take on alien i think the best thing about alien that i've seen that i know of is the audio the the sound effects the music that whole audio package might be the best I've ever heard. Hmm. The best you've ever heard? Better than Fishtails. Come on! Nothing is better than Fishtails. Really? That good, huh? I need to listen to that one. What about the toys? The Xenomorph toy grabs the ball. Face huggers. I want to see how it works with the updated version where they've apparently fixed all the issues. Yeah, they had some problems with that. mouth piece as it were that's what she said um stop looking at my head gear uh okay what else about alien is there they dropped the s that's no longer aliens we got i gotta check that i was confused because a lot of people were correcting other people for saying it wrong um but the movie is called alien yes and that that was kind of the thing that's everyone was saying like the original movie was just called alien so is this going to be about all of the movies or is this just i've never played the original i've not played the highway version and we were just talking and none of us have played the highway version so this is probably the worst topic that the three of us could ever talk about yeah we're just reporting on the news The news is it's back, baby, and they're not taking pre-order money. It's just called Alien. Here's the picture. It's called Alien. Just Alien, not Aliens. Alien. And they took out the screen on the play field? They took out the screen on the play field, but everything else looks just fine. And, hell, if these guys are able to produce and manufacture Alien, I don't know how they're going to do it because, as Stern has proven to us, manufacturing is key but let's just say they nail it and get that manufacturing going drew how many games do you think they're gonna sell glenn sorry drew how many games do you think they're gonna sell my nipples say about a thousand one thousand games glenn get an opinion i think a thousand is right well they they said they were they were gonna ramp up to make a hundred a month so my thought is 100 a month yeah not initially but they said eventually they'll ramp up to that that point and if they can do that i think they'll sell quite a few but we know how people are in this hobby right yes they they want it and then if they have to wait five six eight months they're probably not they're going to move on to something else okay so they'll sell a bunch i mean it's it's in high demand obviously but um just like deep root just like anything else they gotta make them right nope you're right 100 and what if what if it happens like uh the big lebowski they pay this company all this money right they who's paying what uh pinball brothers is paying that company in italy to make oh ara yeah like an area yeah so they're paying a company that is a manufacturing company, but they don't make pinball machines to make the pinball machine and then after they make 50 or 100, maybe they're like, hey, this is more expensive or more work than we thought it was going to be. So now we have to charge you more money. That's crazy. Sorry about that. What was that beeping? I don't know. Can you guys still hear us? So anyways, we don't have to go deep dive into it because, like you said, we haven't played it. but um that's just what i think okay perfect dan so what do we got next drew we have some more news sorry i got all these different screens around here and all this shit going on um where were we okay i got it we're getting back to our mojo guys don't worry about it just Chill the fuck out. It's fine. This is a shameless plug, but I saw it on Twip, and since Twip sponsors this segment, I was like, ooh, this is perfect. We can plug ourselves. That's what she said. Yeah, you can. And it's okay because this is something we stole directly from Twip. Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. I'm going to have Ian set up this story about the new limited edition T-shirt that we just put up on Silver Ball Swag. we are the silver ball swag swag of the week aren't we really yes you gotta start reading this stuff it doesn't read my notes which is fine yes so the poor man's pinball podcast is proud to announce we'll get there we'll get there hang on hang on drew slow down uh we are the pinball so silver ball swag uh swag of the week go to this week in pinball check it out so ian set up the story about how this t-shirt came to be. No, I don't want to. Okay. All right, fine, I will. You convinced me. All right. Do it. As Drew knows, so what we were doing was when we signed up with Silver Ball Swag. Rub them titties, Drew. Rub them titties. Give titties bitties. Okay, go ahead. This is actually a really good story. Not the titty part, but. Well, we decided we were going to have multiple offerings for shirts. So we had our Rad shirt, which I still love. We had our Skull and Flippers shirt, which badass. Franchi did his awesome Franchi shirt, which I'm wearing right now. Christopher Franchi, I love you. And this is before we had Brian Holderman do some art, which we're still paying him. He has threatened to break our kneecaps. It's very, very scary. um so um in the middle of all that i saw a fiverr ad all those shirts with the exception of franchi obviously were fiverr guys and if you don't know fiverr fiverr's website where you can pay people that will like artists you can you can pay people to do fucking anything on fiverr as far as mostly like creative like art stuff though yeah but well yeah or programming you want a app they'll do it or you want help with this, they'll do it. So we paid this gentleman. I didn't even check the nationality where he was from, but we paid this gentleman to make an old school, quote, unquote, old school logo for our podcast. Like an old pinball machine, basically. Well, no, it was just supposed to be old school. Like his examples were like old Western logo kind of looking thing. It was supposed to be something cool that just said the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. But instead, he must have saw our original logo, you know, this guy, this naked guy here playing with the barrel. And he was like, well, I can just kind of copy that, but in a very weird way, which he did. And he made this, I don't know, it looks like a Plachinko machine. Apparently in Indonesia, they don't have pinball there. He had no idea what a pinball was. and uh so he ended up drawing his best representation of a pinball machine and he also um which didn't look like a pinball machine so you're gonna have to go to silver ball swag to check it out and the other thing was he misspelt podcast he called it poscast cost us a few hundred dollars a hundred dollars i think as in 50 50 50 years poscast piece of shit cast piece of shit cast which is perfect actually so we actually in how we're said we we tried with actually going there for that reason so story of my life uh we paid the guy we got a shitty logo i asked for a refund didn't give it to me i asked for him to check or correct at least correct the spelling he did that and then i posted it on our on our fan page and Christopher Franchi reached out and he fixed it so there are two versions no no Christopher Franchi reached out and I said, that's terrible. Do you want me to do something with that? I didn't reach out to Chris. He reached out to us. That's why Christopher Franchi is amazing. And Christopher Franchi said that Christopher Franchi himself said that it would have been easier to redraw the whole goddamn thing than to fix bad art, which was hilarious. So anyway, moving on from that. Who said that? Go ahead. I don't know. What does it say? What does it say? I like how you're playing this dude out for making a mistake when clearly he was just standing. He was shading you from across the ocean. He's listening to the podcast and he knows it's shit. Thanks, Jesse J. Yes, that's true, Jesse. Thank you. Thanks for reminding these guys that their podcast is shit. I'm glad I'm not part of this. I'm just here as a special guest. Yes. I want to thank Glenn for being here tonight. Thanks a lot, Drew. I really appreciate it. I appreciate it. Jesse J., we love you. Drew, show us your nipples again. Yep. So anyway.

Did you buy one, Drew? I sold it myself. All right. Don't get me talking. There's a microphone here? Yeah. Hey, Neil. They gave one of these away at one of their giveaways. So it's like more of an airbrushed T-Rex. It looks like the T-Rex from the movie. Oh, okay. I got you. So very cool. Yeah, just kind of a neat thing. I think they're expensive, though. They're handmade, so I expect that as much. But, yeah, very cool, though. Jonathan Hall, I already ordered my really, really bad piece of shit shirt, and now I feel shitty. We love you, Jonathan Hall. Thank you very much, brother. John, you're contributing to a great cause. Yeah, maybe we'll get this computer fixed one of these days. All you guys who buy our T-shirts, when you see us, just say, hey, I bought a T-shirt. We'll buy you a drink, and we'll call it even. You buy a $40 shitty T-shirt, we buy you one $3 beer. We'll see you at MGC with a Watt 100. Yes. We'll be buying. We will be. All right. Let's go. The last piece is just kind of one of those feel-good pieces. Did you hear about Spooky Pinball and their flipper issues on Rick and Morty? So Spooky Pinball, they were running into issues with their, it's called the flipper bushing. And it's the little plastic piece that goes. That's what she said. Did she? I never know. Tell us, Glenn. Glenn, you're doing a great job, by the way. For whatever reason, the flipper bushings, they use a lot of the old Williams-type parts from Pinball Life. They've used since day one the Williams coils and the bushing flipper plates, all that stuff. So anyways, the plastic bushing, some people were, I don't want to say complaining. They noticed that these were higher than most of their other games and other games in the industry. So Spooky kind of figured it out, and they said they're going to have new parts manufactured, and if you want them, they're going to send them out free of charge. And going forward, they're going to put all these in all the production games. So they're working with a company now to figure it out and get it right, but they listen to the feedback and they're fixing it and they're doing it for free how cool is that very cool you just gotta call them up and say hey i want some of these flipper bushings and i'll send them your way so very very cool you know they could have easily charged people for that so super cool charlie and team as always killing it that's why everyone loves spooky and if you don't love spooky you're probably a nazi or a communist one of the two there is no middle ground i'm sorry Yeah. Does anyone hate Spooky? Do you hate Spooky? Spooky made Rick and Morty. Love it. Love it. So you played some Rick and Morty? Watch the show because of it. The show's good, too. Yep, yep. Thoughts on the pinball machine? Pinball machine is tough. Shots are hard. But the theme, holy shit. And they keep on bringing more and more updates. So now we have, what's the Freddy character? Oh, Scary Terry. Scary Terry. He is great. Yeah, they just added him. I bet you they're the first licensed game that's going to continue to bring back more content based on the show's continuance. For anyone who has not watched Rick and Morty, I recommend you go, I think it was season one with Scary Terry, three or four episodes in. Find that one and find Pickle Rick. Watch those two episodes. Go ahead, watch the rest, and if you like it, but I guarantee if you watch those two episodes, you will be hooked. Yeah. Okay. And you're like me. You saw it was coming out, and then you started watching it, right? With my kids. Yeah, because Drew and I are a little bit older here, so Rick and Morty was kind of skewed mostly toward a younger generation, the millennials. And when I saw the game coming out, yeah, I started watching it, and then I just couldn't stop. It was just that good. It was just entertaining. It's the smartest and the dumbest show at the same time. Yeah, there you go. That is a good way of putting it. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. It makes you think and it also makes you go, that's just fart joke funny, right? So check it out. So you mentioned – thank you, Drew. So, Drew, how long have you been playing pinball? Drew's been playing pinball for about, I don't know, about four years. Should we let the audience know? Yeah, okay, Glenn. Okay, all right. I'm not Drew. I'm not Drew. Oh, the cat's out of the bag. Nobody noticed. So anyway, buddy, so how long have you been playing pinball? I started playing pinball because I was tired of watching my daughter do her 500th cartwheel at gymnastics. And so I'm like, I see an app that looks interesting, and I downloaded Pinball Arcade. And within a week, I was like, I've got to find somewhere to play these games. And that was around 2017, 18, somewhere around there. And so just hooked instantly. Yeah, and you've been doing local competitions, right? No, the very first thing I did was I found a Facebook group in Nashville, and I said, hey, I'm new to this. Will anybody come play pinball with me and teach me a thing or two? And Will Caruso came out there, and he's like, hey, we have a tournament in a couple weeks. Would you like to come out? It's at the Farnsworth residence. So I'm going to this person's house I've never been to. So I'm telling my friends and family, yeah, I'm going to Joe Farnsworth's house to play a pinball tournament in his basement. And the ridicule, I'm like, I don't know. I might come back alive. If you don't hear from me at 3 o'clock, I'm probably a lampshade. But it was the most inviting thing I've ever been to. They were all grateful I was there. It was like 12 people. They had four machines. And at that point, I'm like, all right, so who wants to go to a big tournament in Alabama in a couple weeks? And that's what it was. It was just tournaments right away. and and the amount of machines that i was playing right off the bat had no clue what was going on i just dove into the computer and was like i'm watching uh papa videos and tutorials and i'm trying to soak all this in but it was it was too much yeah uh but yeah i like like some people get into it i went in full yeah you um so you're a different cat than i am so you know you look at the papa videos and you're like shit i think i can figure this out and you go into it and you're like all right i'm watching it i'm into it yeah yeah me i watch those videos i'm like the fuck i can do any of this i'm outtie i think i'll just talk about it and say i'm real good but uh no that's really cool man it's really cool so how many game all right let's go this way uh do you have a favorite game you like to play if you see a lineup and what game is in that lineup where you're like fuck yes it's usually the easier games um cactus canyon cactus canyon is great um i'm a cactus bitch i like what is that a thing yeah cactus is dance no that's not cactus canyon oh sorry jacks that's cactus jacks cactus jacks is good too now do your dance cactus jacks no i'm too embarrassed no damn this live show but glenn to your point cactus canyon is a great favorite favorite games are usually going to be the simpler rule sets ones that like you just know what to do like i like deeper rule games once i learn them but i'm not there yet like there's like five or six games i really know deeply like of the newer code like i don't really know any of the newer two or three games that have just come out i don't know them very deeply at all like i know like how to get a multiball star but that's i don't know i don't know all of the deepness of of you know you want to get this shot multiplier here and stack this mode with that glenn glenn is a rules whore i jump on a good way he just said he didn't i donkey punch rules yeah no that's a good thing no it is you rented you rented game of thrones and by the time you were done with that rental i believe you destroyed that game yeah one time go ahead here's your time to brag in front of like 5,000 people. Ready? 5,000 people listening. One time I beat the wizard mode and I got to it about 30 times. Wow. And what was the score on that one? I don't remember. Oh, man. Was it like 2 billion? 3 billion? I think it was in like the 16 billion. Oh, Jesus. I think my high score on Game of Thrones is like 900 million just to put that in perspective. Once you get to the very end of that game, the shots just get ridiculous. Oh, okay. Then it's just – It's not – It's not balanced that way. Yeah. No, if you can get to the very end of that game, it's – like shots are just ridiculous. Okay. So Dwight needs to do some more rule balancing. No, it's fine. It's – you're not going to get – you're not going to get – Calling you out, Dwight. You want to come on our show and debate it? That'd be great. You're not going to get to the end of that game in a tournament. Let's see here. Yeah, 11.5 billion. Woo, give him another applause. That's something to celebrate. Drew, you are a good player. Sorry. I love it. I love it. Show slices up. Cheers. I would much rather go with friends and discover a machine and learn how to play it in a group setting than have it in my basement and do that by myself. Sure. I'm late. I'm late to the party. One more time. Ready? Don't wait. He's waiting for them cheese slices. I don't know. Kaz says Kaneda loves 10-time multipliers. They're growing on him. All right. That was sarcasm for you guys who don't know. Anyway, so let's keep going. Let's keep going. Let's move on. All right. Moving on. Was that news? Yeah, that was news. So the next segment we're going to have to skip because of all of our technical difficulties. Okay. So what I want to do, though, is definitely go through Glenn's survey here. All right. So I had an idea. Yes. I'm like, all right, I'm going to Wisconsin, and I'm going to be on the show. I want to bring one segment to the show. Yeah, cool. And my thought was, all right, I'm going to put a Facebook poll up there. What is the greatest lineup from what year in the history of pinball? As in what year had the best pins that were released? You have an option. You have an option to own any collection of only one-year pins. What year would it be? One year. The year they're released. That's the year. Okay. And so we had three finals. It was a Facebook poll. Yeah, it was a Facebook poll. Jesse, it's not going to be live, but that is coming. We had three finals. That's what she said. 1993 had the most votes, then 1994, and then 2017. Okay, so what we did, so we got 1993, 1994, and 2017, right? Yeah. So we listed the top five or six pins from those years. We listed all of them, baby. Glenn's going to read them off right now, so go ahead. And we want to know what you think in chat. Which year would you prefer? I'm going to look at the camera while I read this. Okay, everybody ready? Look right into the camera. 1993. Look her in the eyes when you get her. I'll start with third place. Third place was 2017. It had Aerosmith, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Dialed In, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Alien, and Houdini. Damn. Good list. That was a good year. Good list. Goddamn. In 1994, we had Guns N' Roses, The Dead East. We had Demoman, Flintstones, Popeye, Red and Ted's Roadshow, Rescue 911, The Shadow. Jesse J., are you listening? Tommy's The Who, and World Cup Soccer 94. That's a good list. Just Shadow and World Cup. But the winner had one more vote than 1994. How many votes did the winner have? It doesn't matter. It's not important. It was the most. It was like 2012, right? Something like that? It had the most votes. Yeah, there was about 4,000 votes cast just to give you guys kind of a – Yeah, we do. All the listeners. I think every one of our listeners kind of voted, so like 8,000, 9,000. I don't know what it was. Go ahead. So the undisputed champion of the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast's greatest year in pinball is 1993. Released was Bram Stoker's Dracula. Stroker or Stoker? Stoker. We have Indiana Jones. How long can I do this before we get kicked off? We got kicked off earlier with your nipples. Let's just do it again. Jurassic Park, Dead East, Last Action Hero. Why do you think I switched shirts? Stop interrupting. Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Next Generation, and Whitewater. Read that list one more time. Yeah, go ahead. Bram Stoker's Dracula. Yes. Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure, Judge Dredd, Jurassic Park, Dead East, Last Action Hero, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Next Generation, and Whitewater. Damn. That is the greatest year in pinball history. That's a good list. So here's what we're going to do. We want you guys to kind of give us your little votes and chat here. We're going to make another cocktail. No, we're not. We had all these technical difficulties. Shots, shots, shots. We're doing shots. We're fine. Don't back off now. What's your, guys? Come on, what's yours? This podcast is big enough to attract a bot. yes yes yeah we have we have bots pin bot all right so here we go um i'll start the conversation fuck it uh in my opinion 93 has one of the best lineups no doubt about it but 2017 has the code you're not getting sick of any games in 2017 dialed in guardians star wars alien houdini tna i'm leaving out aerosmith because i don't like that game that is a killer lineup you will never learn everything you need to know about any of those games those games are deep as shit and i think it blows 94 out of the water i don't like any of those games except for Demoman and Shadow. So, 93, I'm looking at it, and 93 has all these, like, razzle-dazzle beautiful Williams pins, some good Daddy East ones, but I'm sorry. I'm going to go 2017 on this one. And I'm a huge fan of Indiana Jones. I was going to say, that really surprises me. I own a Whitewater, and I got sick of it. Come on, now. What do you guys think? That's tough, man. Code, code, code, code, code. Yeah, yeah. All those lists are obviously really good, and we were kind of talking about this before the show. Like, if you could just put one year of these pins in your basement, that's all you get. Whew. Okay, but what is your intentions? If you have company over, what lineup would you rather have people learn how to play pinball on? Well, you could still play the show. That would probably be 94. Dialed in, TNA, Alien, Houdini. You could still play those. Houdini would make them quit right away. Yeah. But TNA, something like TNA, come on, man. They would love to learn on that game. That game is super simple to explain, very hard to master. That's why it makes it such a great game. Dalvin has all the goodies, all the candy, all the shots. Guardians, they're going to recognize that theme right away, I think. And Star Wars, I mean, those are two easy shooters. They're fun to play. Who knows how the hell you advance in those games. I mean, I do. But when you're new, it doesn't matter. You're having too much fun. Guardian's soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. I get what you're saying, though. I mean, Indiana Jones, that's a tough game. It's a short play field. So you're going to get a lot of bricks for the new people. Okay, let's do this then. Judge Dredd, Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone is a beautiful game. Indiana Jones and Twilight Zone are two of the best games ever made. I'm just going to go with 93 because it has Last Action Hero in it. Okay. Okay, good. Any other words? No, I mean, let me see that list again. Okay, go ahead. You just call him Goat Head? No, go ahead. And it's a little unfair because it's the really modern games versus some of the classic games. who for me personally i'm with ian i'm going 2017 because i want a star wars i want to dialed in um yeah star wars dial in and tna have all been on my list dalton says hi glenn by the way um dalton is the state champion of georgia but hey welcome dalton and now you know what i'm actually scratching 93 and i'll tell you why because i would rather mean scratching i'm i'm just not picking it because i would rather have double man flintstones popeye shadow who and world cup soccer than most of those games in 93 saying 93 has a bd um yeah getting itchy yeah no the games are good and i i own the last action hero star trek next generation is a great game i play the shit out or Whitewater, so I'm done with that. I'm not as big of an Indiana Jones fan as you are. I know Ian's sad right now. Judge Dredd might be a game I'd buy someday. I own a better version of Jurassic Park. Sorry, Data East. Sorry, John Borg. Did he work on that one? Do we know? Yes. I think he did. Yeah, he did. Yeah, because we asked him about it. That's right. Lord of the License John Borg? Yeah. Lord of the License. So, yeah. Sorry. I'm going to be at home. I'm going 2017. Stern wins the day. I'm going 2017 as well. Oh, my God. It's a repeat. Wow. Okay. Why 2017, Glenn? I like depth. I don't want to get bored of a game. Okay. You can actually enjoy Aerosmith. I promise you. Oh, I love Aerosmith. It's a fun game. You don't have to love the music. The shots are good. And it's a Borg layout. It's a little random, the lock shot, but you have to lock six balls. That toy is fun. I don't care who you are. That was when they were still putting toys in games. And then shortly after, Gary Stern like, no more toys. We will do shots only. Of vodka. Of vodka. Along with the Keith Elwin shots with wire forms. I decree it. Are we going to do this? Should I get shot glasses? Why don't you get the habanero shit? This is what he got. We can do either. We can do both. I want to try this. Okay. All right, so 2017 is the winner. What do you guys think up there, Chad? Chad, let us know. Who is the winner of that group? Star Wars is garbage. You know what? You're garbage. That's not nice. That's not nice, Ian. Star Wars is a stacking legend. The shots are great. What's wrong with it? Star Wars is good for the very casual player or somebody who wants to score big points and learn the deep rule set, right? But if you're kind of in between, then it kind of sucks. It's tough because you have to explain to the very new player the action button smashing once you hit the TIE Fighter. Ah, touche. That's the hardest part because the easiest multiball in that game is TIE Fighter. Is the TIE Fighter multiball, yes. The other one is the hyperspace multiball. Which I've never got. I've only played it a handful of times. You only have to hit two hyperspace hurry-ups to get it. It's not that hard. Yeah. But it's not... Spoken from a guy who's good at pinball. You just have to do a little research there, Drew. Are we going to play some Oktoberfest later? Yeah. Awesome. If you'll have me. Have you ever played Oktoberfest? No. Perfect. We can play Oktoberfest. It's like a unicorn game. He already played the Laser War. Glenn, you want to tell them about your laser war? Can I rub your horn? Laser War is as pretty as they've said. And did I see on – ooh. Wait, let me tickle this back here. Ian is getting fairly molested. I love it. It's because I'm so damn cute. Yeah. You can tell HR. Do I make you horny, baby? Hello, HR. Do I? Anyway. Did I see on Facebook someone wants to trade something for a Laser War? Yes, a Hot Wheels. Yeah, get that Hot Wheels. Oh, it's already sold. Surprise, surprise. Someone else had a Laser War, and they're like, sweet. But did they have the best Laser War you've ever seen in your life? No. Only these two idiots have them. How many Laser Wars have a Penn Stadium light set on it? None. None. Zero. One. And you know what? No, that's not true. That is a hyper beam setup. That's way better than the stadiums. I picked up my powder coat for media the other day, and all I kept thinking was I spent this much money on powder coat for a game that I got for almost nothing. I'm looking at all these beautiful pieces in my back seat. Are the dick weights powder coated yet? Oh, that's a good – we should take them to Dustin, get them powder coated. He's going to be like, what do you need next? I was like, dick weights. Dick weights. Come on, Dustin, you can do this for us. Keep them in the package. pink and sparkly but I'm sitting here with these nice purple flaky beautiful parts and I'm like yeah I'm putting these on a turd of a meteor like it's just turds but you know when you put it together it looks so good this powder coat guys is like spectacular it is beautiful alright so Drew you get a shot this is a glass from Maine it's got a lighthouse on it it says Maine on it I got it at Goodwill There's some shrimp. I got a little bird saying, tweet, tweet, tweet. It's the pine tree state. And Glenn, you get just a swallow. And it's a picture of a swallow, kids. All right. I like swallows. Cheers. I like swallows. Are we shotting this? Let's shotting it. Cheers. Glenn, thanks for being here, buddy. Thank you guys for the invite. Thanks. Cheers, everyone out there in chat. We love you. That was a lot. I had too much. That was really smooth. smooth alright okay okay we're okay holy shit am I right so best year 2017 by far I mean dialed in alone you could spend hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and dial in and still not know what the hell you're doing it's brilliant so alright let's go into our happy hour happy hour where's the button I don't know I lost it it's poor man pinball podcast happy hour which can only mean through deep thought and self reflection we go to the viewers comments happy hour this is where we go to chat chat chat chat chat chat tell me anything you want to talk about today open book think about something we want to discuss or shoot the shit about and uh producers please send us a message what people have been talking about so we can kind of get into this So anyway, Glenn, are you having fun so far? I'm having a great time. Awesome. You know what would be better? What was that? We get high and smoke some scorpion venom. I don't have that. That is a thing. Did you know that? Is it really? You can smoke scorpion venom? Listen to this. In the Middle East, I think it's Pakistan. I don't want to be wrong, but it doesn't matter too much. There's a problem. They're smoking scorpion venom, and it gives you six to eight hours of body pain before total euphoria sets in. So could you imagine? Wait, wait, wait. So you smoke it, and for six hours you're like, oh, this is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. And then you're like, oh. But then it kicks in. Scorpion venom. Yes. Not the worst high I've gotten, though. That's actually probably not too bad. Just bragging rights alone, when you can tell people, well, you smoke marijuana, you are a pussy. I smoke the venom, baby. Scorpion venom. You go to the pet shop and you go, I want that fucker right there. Look at his venom sex. You want to ride the tail? You want to ride the tail. Could you imagine in the pipe it'd be the scorpion tail? Woo! Is it liquid? You're just boiling it? I don't know. Huh. Because that's what I'm curious about. So, like, do they turn it into some sort of powder so they can, you know, put it in their pipe? Put it in your tail and smoke it. Put it in your tail and smoke it. I guess every tribe will have plenty of examples on our secret tribe list. I can't wait. Scorpion, Venom, smoking it. Hang on, hang on. Pinball Doc. Yeah. Pinball Doc. First of all, thank you for the 100 bits. That's awesome. We love you. Thank you, Pinball Doc. He says the best year, 1947. Why? Humpty Dumpty brought us flippers. Humpty Dumpty was the first game to have flippers. Okay, well, you can have every pinball machine in 1947 and I'll take 2017. Yeah, that's true. Doc, you lose. All right, what else we got? Hang on. Prime Gaming Scribble. Will there be a $2,000 Stairway to Heaven topper for Stern LZ? We didn't even talk about the topper. Is there a topper? No. It has the two spotlights. Yeah, you know what? That was in my notes. I'm sorry. It is $850 from my understanding. It has two spotlights. So here's the thing, okay? It's got the Zeppelin and then two spotlights. Why? Can someone explain to me why Stern? $850. Sorry, go ahead. Jesus Christ. I don't like your pause sir I couldn't help myself I had to do it Jesus Christ alright anyway go ahead oh really is that your impression keep going oh my god this is good alright anyway go ahead what are we doing it's $850 Why did they go from Okay, everyone got all upset about Jurassic Park, right? You're counting my points, I love that So Jurassic Park goes for $600 Then they sell Avira for $1,000 Then they go back to $850 What is happening? Bill of Materials What do you mean Bill of Materials? I don't know Those are words people use Why? Should they always be $1,000? You want one price? no matter what they used to build them? Yes. I had to think about that. Drew has a problem. Yes, the answer is reasons. It's okay, buddy. It's business. No, I know, but they got $1,000 from the Elvira Topper. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's what I'm saying. They went up, and then they went back down. Well, they can't price gouge us. Come on, they're fair. A Led Zeppelin Topper? I'm joking. It's sarcasm. It's very funny. I just didn't smile. So Led Zeppelin, they could have probably charged $1,100 or $1,200. Guess what? People would have bought it. I'm not a proponent of that. The question is how many do they intend to sell? How many do they want to sell? Maybe that's the missing part of our equation. We don't know. Anyway. No, that's true. That's true. But it's just a little odd, right, to keep going back and forth with the prices? What does Chet want us to talk about? Yeah, I saw something about why do people drink light beer? Let's go into that. Okay. Why do people drink light beer? Well, there's multiple reasons why one would drink light beer. I know me personally, when I do drink light beer, it's because it's usually a summertime thing. It's light. It's refreshing. You're tailgating, right? You got the grill going. You got all sorts of grillables on the grill. You got the heat. You got the sun. You got pretty girls all over the place. You get very handsome men that are chasing those pretty girls. This is where you rub your nipples, right, Drew? And you sit there. And you take a sip. Is it a porter? Is it an IPA? The fuck it isn't. It's the cheapest, lightest beer you can find. Because you know what? You're going to drink 35 because this is a full-day event. You drink that hard shit, four in, you're going to be sipping, sipping, sipping. Four in, you're going to be gone, pissing in your pants and wondering what happened to the day. Or you can drink 37-something light beers. And then you can pee 13 times, but you know you're going to pee, so you just hang out by the port-o-potties. and that's tailgating, baby. What was the question? I would prefer a nice goze in the summertime. Oh, Goose Island? A goze. Where's Orbital Albert? How do you pronounce it? A G-O-S-E. A goze? A goze? It's like a mild sour beer. Oh, okay. It's nice and refreshing. So why do people drink light beers? So going back to the topper thing, Gaming FD Zombie Dog said, people like to buy finely built statement pieces that look and feel amazing, yet a stern pinball machine plays better. Sad but true. Yes? No? Yeah? Sure. You know, I just... Good comment. I like it. Winner. I like the look of some toppers. I just don't like the prices of them. You know, if they were all Black Knight, like $300 to $400, I would actually entertain buying a couple. I just want to know who says, I need a topper. Oh, shit. It's $1,000. I still have to buy it. Why don't you play the ad for Flip N Out Pinball? Flip N Out Pinball. Get all your pinball needs over here at Flip N Out Pinball. Call Zach. He'll get you a topper. I hid the thing. I don't understand that. Bye, bye, bye. Don't forget to buy those toppers from Flip N Out Pinball, Zach and Nicole. Some people, it might be too much for you, but for a lot of you people, it's not. So buy the fucking toppers. Buy them from Flip N Out Pinball. Top to bottom. Why would you not? Fantastic topper, pinball machine, legs, things. It's great. It's a great package. Flip N Out Pinball, the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. We are their drunkest sponsor people. Speaking of terrific packages. I want to know where this is going. It's a terrific package on top of your head. Your aura is very upright. Thank you. So what about packages? You said something about packages? All right. Drew's cringing over here. All right, let's go. Let's keep going. Move on. We're doing good. Anything else going on? Chat, do you want to talk about anything else? Otherwise, we are moving on, brother. We talked about lice here. Most turntables have no value. Yes, they do, Kaz. Oh, I got something to talk about. Yeah. All right. Ooh. I sent these beautiful men, and they're beautiful. Thanks. This mug over here, you see the mug? That actually does not belong to them. We have to slap a poor man's pinball sticker on there and take it to a bar where it belongs. Oh. To share to the world. Do you have stickers here? Because I don't have any with me. we don't have a big space there's a bar called builders and uh they have about 2 000 of these mugs where everybody just puts whatever stickers they want on it and uh and i want to be able to share this yeah these boys men i gotta get some scissors whenever whenever you go to builders you can get any kind of beer you want but you go to your mug and you grab your own mug and you use your mug. I want it to be a... Because I'm only here once a year. So when I go to Builders, I want to be able to drink on my coffee mug. But I want you guys to be able to... So if you look at the bottom, it's got a number. 1,025. Sorry we put our dicks in there and our pens. Wait, really? Yeah. It doesn't smell like it. It smells glorious. Wow, Ian's doing art projects. You can do it now. That's fine. oh no keep talking guys Ian's just doing our projects on the air no that's really cool we had a couple places like that one of them actually went out of business but the whole mug idea is it's very cool where it's like it's your mug and they wash it for you they don't really wash it they just spit in it and use a rag but you know same concept gross I do have another question and you want to know anything about us the guys no we're going to wait for the interview with orbit albert he's got all the questions poor man's uh and the poor man we go on his show yeah perfect um so he's gonna he's gonna try to do his best job at uh asking you guys questions um so the guy that's doing the centaur coffee table thing has he reached back out to you uh no he has not see i have a theory that sounded like a very generic email sent to about 20 other people as well. Really? It sounded to me like he just kind of like sent this to a bunch of people. I don't know. Like I would like to help him. I would like for you guys to – He had a bunch of pictures though. So you're saying like he's really doing it? That's a nasty man. I think he sent it to a lot of people. Okay. And I think that it would be great if he was an actual viewer of the show and then you support him. Okay. That's just my two cents. Sure. Well, you're right. He hasn't responded back. So he's getting no more love. We're not even talking about it. We don't even know what it is. I don't think we helped his cause any because everybody just gave him shit. Yeah, we did dump on him pretty good. Nobody liked that idea. It's a stupid thing to do to a centaur, a beautiful centaur. Well, that was the whole thing because even me trying to be a metaball, it was like a $5,800 machine is a pretty nice machine, and then you're going to do something like that to it. Yeah, it's super cool. So I love it. Poormanspinballwhiskey.com. Don't forget that one on your way out. Jonathan Hall, if you were a bagel, what type of bagel would you be? How about the scraps? FD Zombie Dog, I would be an everything bagel too because I'm full of everything. I'd be a piss and vinegar bagel. Why did they keep the screen in Alien? Well, we thought about cost being one. Two, I think a lot of people that owned one thought it was more of a design flaw. I remember reading about how ball trails, wax, everything, it didn't keep the screen looking very clear. It would get foggy, blah, blah, blah. As that clear coat or whatever was over that laminate that was over that screen, there could have been some scuffs, whatever. But at the end of the day, yeah, maybe it was just something that, A, wasn't necessary, and, B, probably cost too much money, and, C, probably doesn't look great after a few years, you know. So, hey, I like the idea. I like the idea of the screen in the game. Like I said, you look down at the pinball machine, at least I do, and I would like to see what my score is at or where I need to shoot next. That's why I like the idea of the pin bar. I don't know, man. I almost wish, like, if I look at Oktoberfest, I wouldn't think about putting a screen in the pin bar or, you know, the lockdown bar. I would think about putting a screen in the apron. The apron is probably the best place, in my opinion. That makes sense, right, to me? I think the pin bar is actually taller than a lockdown bar, so it ends up in that area anyways. Yeah, it's a bit bigger. But the problem with the pin bar, and now this is just an aesthetic thing, it just looks a little bit big and clunky. That's what she said. But maybe over a few more iterations, they're going to get that thing locked down. I know they will. And I'm really excited about the pin bar. I liked it when I saw it on the street. Fliptronic, you did a great job, by the way. Do we think maybe the pin bar, though, like they've ordered a bunch of them? Yeah, I know. First iteration. But I think it'll get better. It'll stream. They're just going to streamline. This is their first game. We're all over the place. All right. So we're closing the happy hour. Happy hour is done. Love you guys. That was really, really good. A lot of good questions this week. A lot of good topics. Smoking Scorpion Venom. Probably the highlight of my day. Would you try it? Fuck it, Friday. Absolutely. Yeah, I'd go through searing pain for six hours for euphoria. It's called marriage. Yeah. I see what you did there. All right. It's back-loaded, though. So, yes, it is back-loaded. Yeah. All right. After my wife dies. We are going to take a cocktail break because I'm empty. These boys are empty. I'm going to make a couple cocktails. You know what? Let's do the bar cam. Oh! Oh! Bar cam. We'll make some drinks here. Oh, piss. Drew's going to go pee. Glenn's going to go pee. But you got me. I'm probably going to yell from the other side of the room, though. I got you under my skin. I hope this is okay because I just don't want to let you guys go because we had all that issues with those technical difficulties. So let's make some drinks. Today I'm going to be making three old-fashioned. They're going to be Corbel old-fashioned sweets. I will start from scratch for one of these so you can see how it's done, okay? Love you guys. I'll try to yell from across the room. Oh it's old-fashioned time! Alright so old-fashioned, very very simple, very very simple. Let's see, this is mine so we'll start fresh. Okay so can you see that glass? Is that good? Alright so this is what we do with an old-fashioned. First things first, orange slice. Make sure you have a nice sharp knife. Alright orange slice in. Now we go with the cherries. These are some super sweet black cherries. Can you see that alright? There they are, they're beautiful. Alright so from there we are going to muddle those in there. Now a lot of guys will incorrectly put simple syrup in now but we're not going to put simple syrup in there because the shits already extremely sweet that's why they call this old-fashioned sweet so what we're going to do instead is we're going to do our bitters you can see that bitters are what's going to make this drink you guys gotta have bitters two and a half dashes works perfect all right now from there we need the booze I prefer myself some Corbel brandy you can do old fashions with whiskey but I tend to like brandy because it's a lot smoother than whiskey even the best whiskeys He makes good drinks most of the time. Sure, why don't you commentate, because I'm sick of yelling. So now I just put in the brandy. Woo, woo, woo, woo! All right, so from there, we're going to need ice. Ian collects the ice from the bin, and he dumps it in the drink. But he's lost, because he can't find it. I lost my scoop. Oh, no! He lost at least five seconds there while he was looking for his scooper. And the old-fashioned Olympics are going off the rails. All right, so we got booze. We got cherries. We got OJ. Now, if you want an old-fashioned sour, what do you use, Drew? Oh, then you use sour and sour soda. Yeah, squirt. Yeah, it's basically either 7-Up or Sweet. Yep, Sweet is 7-Up. Yep, Sweet is 7-Up and squirt or sour soda. is sour. That's it. I mean, that's the difference really, in most cases. And I prefer the whiskey sours. But brandy sweets are almost as good. Ooh, he's showing it off, too. And And And what? What are you doing? Yeah, but tell them, those are special cherries. Those are different cherries. Yeah, they are the best cherries you can get for an old-fashioned. They are the dark sweet. So most of you are familiar with. Maraschino. The bright red ones. These are called. I don't know what these are fucking called. This brand is Bada Bing. Fucking fantastic. Sweet, delicious. When you get your hands on one of those cherries, like. Glenn, here you go, man. Merry Christmas. Thank you. I made it from scratch. I want to make a sex joke, but I can't. They're just that good. I wait until the last drink to eat the cherries. All right, so then, if you've already got a base going, meaning it's already like a cocktail, don't add any shit to it because you've got all that beauty right there. So what you really just need to do is some more, a couple more dashes of bitters, add your booze. This is the only man that can be taken seriously in a unicorn costume. I love it. And Drew, for you, special for you, brother. For Drew, we're going to give him... Ooh. You see that? Jamo Black Barrel. I must be special. The smoothest whiskey Jamo makes. Drew, you should come here and take a sip of this. I'm going to. Drew is a whiskey connoisseur. You can tell me that this isn't a smooth fucking whiskey. just take a slug take a drink no offense but I know it's better than I put down my gauntlet from before but that was because I think Ian poured too much to be honest fuck you god damn Ian always trying to get me drunk I thought we were holding this we thought we were past this part which part you puking all over my front lawn peeing in your sink, falling asleep on the lawn. Pissing, shitting. Yeah, whatever. It's Christmas. Merry Christmas, guys. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you all if you don't celebrate Christmas. This is a great Christmas drink. But if you don't celebrate any holiday, then... So I didn't muddle this, right? And I can tell already that Drew's drink isn't red enough. Hey, you got cherry juice right here, brother. Just throw it in. Boom. That is... That's what they call a pro tip, kids. Yeah, the pro tip. You're just taking trot in. Got to get a little red there. That is the other pro tip of the day. You failed if it's an orange. You need it to be red, my kids. All right. There we go. And that, my friends, no garnish for us because we're hell keys. Glenn's our guest. Garnish. Well, Ian, thank you for the lovely drink. Let's cheers to Glenn Skateboarder Glenn Waechter, who is here live in the studio. Guys, here is one. You know, Drew likes to get sappy like once a month or so. Every episode. Shut up. It's okay. I love you. It's been a good year. It's been a tough year with COVID and everything else. We really appreciate all you guys out there in chat, people on the page. People are helping us produce this thing now. I mean, we have producers. I mean, that's crazy to me. We started this thing as two guys with a frickin' microphone talking about shit. Now we're two guys talking about shit, wearing unicorn hats and nipple shirts. But we're doing it with you guys. And no, we just, honestly, we appreciate you guys. And our shows are not always polished or whatever. But we love you guys. And this is good fun. Hey, you cannot polish a turd. Oh, ouch. Michael Williams, I'm reading what you're saying, buddy. That's prophetic, man. I like that. Club soda. All right, so here's the problem with club soda. Now, there's ways of doing this, right? Club soda, you would put in a sugar cube. But what happens when you add sugar to club soda? You basically get a boring version of 7-Up. You're 100% right. I am not light on the bitters. There's plenty of bitters in there. Would you agree? It's a good amount of bitters. And a good amount. Anything over two and a half dashes, now you're just playing with fire. Fight words, Mike. Think about it. No, it's splash, splash. It's good. Yep, and you get it. Bitters, they cut right through it. I remember a few years ago there was a shortage of bitters because bitters come from like one fucking place in South America. Do you remember that? I say a couple years. It was like probably ten years ago. Yeah, I don't remember that then. Yeah, it was expensive. Bitters were super expensive. I thought these things had LEDs in them. I was like, wow, I've never seen that. It's the hat. It's his fucking hat. What are we doing? What's going on? We're going to get lit. All right. So happy hour. We have – all right. So this is one thing I love about Glenn. Glenn, from basically almost day one, you were one of the – probably the original 14, Glenn. And you wanted to be a part of this madhouse almost instantly. I remember one of my – now, Glenn had emailed us a bunch. But then you were on the Pinball Nerds podcast. And he said, well, do you listen to any – Orby asked him, do you listen to any other podcasts? And you're like, well, yeah, there's one more. The guys that are – the poor men. And this is right when Orby started turning to like us. He started to like us a little bit. And he was like, yeah, I listen to those guys. They're great. And I was sitting down here working on some machine and I was like, fuck. oh I was working on Monster Bash I was like oh shit it was like you know one of our first call outs that wasn't like you know Zach calling us poor shits or whatever the hell he was calling us and I was like shit something where it was a positive call out that was kind of nice so I want to thank you for that by the way you put us on the map so I was really really really happy about that but I will say that he also one of those tribe members we have like a handful that just want to go above and beyond and help us with our podcasts and make it really really entertaining and he does the neil segments which are fucking genius and that's a trade secret man he did it in the intro oh yeah you're left Jesus fucking Christ. Oh, my God. You suck at show business, man. You're not going to make it. Bye-bye. So, but he's also. Poppy says goodbye. Yeah, I am the puppet pales. I didn't know if you guys knew. But I will say that I'm not. I'm not that talented. They're way too talented. Is that you? So, there's also Pinbot that I do. He does do the Pinbot. Yeah, he did the Pinbot fornicating. yes um so that pinbot love letter which was probably the most oh that was the produced love letter that we've ever done or had on our show so he's done a lot so glenn gives us a lot of substance and a lot of like grade a material and his friend neil does the same let me let me let me explain he doesn't even know neil this is this is why i do all this all right so you guys crack me up. We got one. And you're even funnier when some other idiot comes in and does something equally or dumber than you guys do. And that just lets you guys be yourself more. The better mood you guys are in, the better the show is. So when someone throws something completely ridiculous, like a robot love letter to his bride of Pinbot, what happens after that is now limitless. So where you are the key to unlock our i just want to back it back track here a little bit when that was very flattering but i want to know where you get the creative juices to talk about robot fornication i watch a lot of porn okay that's fair yes that solves it okay that's good say no more that's good i do as well i do as well that's why i don't need the Dick White shit's ripped. Look like Quagmire from the Family Guy episode. But Tim Lee has helped me out a ton with these genius segments. I get ideas, and I sometimes don't follow through. And with having someone like Tim Lee, not only does he rein me in with, maybe we shouldn't say that. Well, that's Tim Lee. Tim Lee, I'll talk to him on the phone, and he's like, you shouldn't say that, Drew. And I'm like, I'm saying it. so speaking of Tim Lee's like our conscious yeah he is he's the good side of us and we're like get the fuck out of here I was talking to Glenn before we started before we started recording and did you see John Borg either posted or shared it John Borg shared the podcast The Genius about himself I posted it on his wall I was hoping he'd say something like a week went by i was just like i was i was convinced that stern hates us because i i don't want to get into it but i was convinced that stern was like put us on the blacklist i thought we got blacklisted um stern might not know this but you're only about 80 minutes north of their factory well right right where we're sitting that and they wouldn't blacklist us because they need to know who we are first we'll get there we'll get there Gary Stone's like, someone's like, oh, did you hear what the poor man said about the company? And he's like, who the fuck are the poor men? Just wait till. I'm fucking up again. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm going to mute the mic. Hold on. I got to talk to these guys a second. Okay. Now in chat, you got to pretend what we were talking about. So go ahead and. I know I turned it off. And put in chat what you think that was about. Oh, my God. That was ridiculous. You fucking died. It wasn't muted, Ian? Oh, it was muted. Yeah. That's great. So anyways, no, we just think it's cool because my man crush, John Borg, you know, shared our stuff. Well, shared Glenn's creative juices there. No, you guys have 100% licensing to it. If you make any money off of it, it's yours. Billions. All of the thousands of it. Glenn, Glenn, you're down here. Have you seen this basement? This is brilliant. This is better than anything. Billions. This basement is twice as big as my whole house. I'm not shitting you. Like 500 bumper stickers have been purchased and applied to objects on this one room. This one room. That is a lot of bumper stickers. Call Guinness. Yeah, go to HGTV and tell them about the bumper stickers. They're going to want to do a show on this. There is going to be. You get a bumper sticker every time you close a bar in Wisconsin. I get a lot of these. Interior decorators are going to be taking notes. Well, that's one thing I know how to decorate a bar. That's true. So segues be damned, we have another genius segment. Do you guys want to hear it? Now, in normal fashion, we're going to play this one twice as well. So sit back, enjoy Glenn's and Tim's latest masterpiece. Ooh, we get to watch Glenn's face live. The genius segment. I love it. This is great. Here we go, guys. The Poor Man's Pinball Tribe presents Podcasts of Genius. Podcasts of Genius. Today we salute you, sloppiest show on the internet. The Poor Man's Pinball Tribe. Hold up, Moppy. Something just doesn't feel right. I mean, this is Mr. Glenn and Mr. Tim's bit, and they do such a super swell job. Podcasts. Plus, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the script you've written. I take this line for instance. The pinball podcast that brings no real value to the hobby, just a couple of Midwestern schlubs holding each other's dicks in a basement. I also don't know if we're going to get any brownie points by reminding the whole world about the whole urinal barfing situation. Let's face it, Moppy. There's just no way Ian and Drew are going to let a bunch of silly puppets in the tribe. The Poor Man's Pinball Tribe presents Podcasts of Genius. Podcasts of Genius. Today we salute you, sloppiest show on the internet. The Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. Hold up, Moppy. Something just doesn't feel right. I mean, this is Mr. Glenn and Mr. Tim's bit, and they do such a super swell job. Plus, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the script you've written. I take this line, for instance. The pinball podcast that brings no real value to the hobby, just a couple of Midwestern schlubs holding each other's dicks in a basement. I also don't know if we're going to get any brownie points by reminding the whole world about the whole urinal barfing situation. Let's face it, Moppy. there's just no way Ian and Drew are going to let a bunch of silly puppets in the tribe. Do you want me to sing a little bit? Well, that was fantastic. Thank you. I didn't ever think we were going to get a genius segment for us. Puppet Pals. Yeah, and Puppet Pals helping us out there. Thank you, Puppet Pals. We really appreciate that. I reached around and out to the puppet pals as a puppet advocate. You are a puppet advocate. And I knew that I wouldn't have time to do one being on vacation. And I just said, hey, Steve, Moppy, what do you think you could pull off? And that was their contribution. They listen every week. They love you guys. And they don't feel it's reciprocated. Oh. Oh, well, that's because... I don't know what you're talking about, Steve. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Did you know? I saw it today when I was looking at that silver ball swag thing. Puppet Pals have silver ball swag now. Nice. Yeah. They have, but they just, it just says Puppet Pals. Oh, good for them. And I was like... Good for them. Yeah, they have mugs. It just says Puppet Pals. I'm like, you give this to somebody, what is this? It's the Puppet Pals. Well, here's the thing about Puppet Pals. Now, to be honest, 100% transparency, I listened to the first episode. I did as well. I cracked up. It was fun. Oh, yeah. No, it was entertaining. But the production value put ours to shame. Oh, yeah. It was way better. It was serious. Way better. Production value. and i almost like and then it took a long time from episode one to two and i kind of tuned out i forgot about it a little bit and then i lost it we did our moppy thing yeah and then they responded that was funny and then um honestly last week i caught up on episodes two and three i don't know if there's a fourth is there a fourth yet christmas day christmas day there's a fourth Okay, so, no, I'm all caught up, and no, I'm a listener. Are Macho and Puppet Pals the same person? No, they're not. But I will say this. That would be hilarious if it was like Moppy and Macho were the same person. That'd be great. That'd be like Uncle Phil playing Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right? Yes. I switched jobs, so I'm not listening to as many podcasts, but I have been caught up with Puppet Pals. So take that as you will. Yeah, Ian's new job. He's warm and fuzzy now. Oh, man, this booze or it's his hat, but I'm sweating balls. My face, I just noticed, matches my shirt. I'm so red. Yes, you're fucking done, dude. You are done. Well, Glenn, another beautiful genius segment. And we want to special thanks and shout out to Puppet Pals. Yeah. You can listen to Puppet. If you have no idea what we're talking about, Puppet Pals is on the Pinball Network. And they're fantastic. And the production value puts 98% of Pinball Podcast to shame. I should say 100% because I don't think any other podcast hits the production value. I honestly don't know if they write their own songs or if they're covers of show tunes. No, I don't know. Does it matter? I don't think it does. Doesn't matter. Nothing I do is original. They play fucking piano and shit and come up with songs. And Drew and I sit here and fart. That's beautiful. So thank you very much, Puppet Pals. And you know what? We love you. Don't worry about it. Yeah. No, it's awesome. You know who else is entertaining on the Pinball Network? Dennis Creasel. Oh, yeah. I still want him on our show. Okay. I think Dennis Creasel would be... He doesn't want to be on our show. I know he doesn't. you want to put people on this show that don't want to be on this show. And here's Glenn, who wants to be on this show. And he drove 6,000 miles to be on this show. Yeah, and he doesn't know he's the only one. I kept saying he's our first live guest. That's because we asked 6,000 people, and they all said no. That's not true. All right, so, Drew? Yes? Transition Man, what are we doing next? That's it, man. Closing last call. the heavy slurring and incoherent babbling can only mean one thing it's time for last call i always forget about that glass breaking at the end that's so typical so uh special thanks uh to glenn thank you for coming out glenn Glenn Waechter we finally put a beautiful face with a beautiful voice i saw the face i saw too much of glenn actually yeah if if any tribe listeners have any ideas for a segment for the genius segment um it is literally brought to us all by the tribe i want it to be uh workshopped and we'll figure it out you can give out go ahead give out your email or whatever you want to do i'll put it i'll put it on the facebook tribe page okay perfect perfect well thank you glenn glenn it's a pleasure dude glenn so much fun i'm I'm sad that you're leaving in a few days, but I'm glad to have gotten to meet you in person. And I'm really excited for when we get to do this again, as you said. When everything resumes and COVID's over, Glenn's coming back for some pinball shows, hopefully. Yeah, I'll be here for MGC, maybe Expo. Yeah. I want to get at least 20 people in the tribe to one of those events. And listeners, because we've got people that want to be in our tribe. I mean, people beat down our doors almost every day. And you're like, I want it in the tribe. So what are the pillars? How do we get in the tribe, Ian? There's five pillars of excellence. Five. First pillar, like us on Facebook. Super easy. Second pillar, help promote our show. I don't care what you do, but you know what? Do whatever you need to do, but let us know and help promote us. Third pillar, email us, participate, hang out and chat with us. fourth pillar can't be a media member but we kind of threw that pillar away but then we rebuilt it and then we threw it away again we love you can you be a puppet you can be a puppet um and the fifth pillar is secret you never got never gonna know about it we'll never tell you uh the last tribe member we elected was jesse j and she has not failed our expectations no she hasn't hilarious as usual. I've also never jerked off a unicorn horn until tonight. Hey, you haven't jacked it to completion yet, buddy. I saw it in here. I knew it was going to happen. But yeah, wait until completion, baby. Wait until completion. But those are the five pillars of excellence to become a drive-in driver. Jesse Jay, Jeremy Schmitz, our last two inductees were up to 37? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, we have 30 plus. We're almost at 40 wonderful tribe members, and we want to induct many, many more. Are we taking a week off of this thing, or are we going next Monday? I haven't decided that yet. We haven't decided if we're doing it next Monday. We'll send you guys some. We'll let you know. I thought about that. It's the end of the year. We might do something. We're just going to get drunk without the recording. Yeah. You know what? No, seriously. You know what we might do? I know everyone likes our polish show and our notes because we do a lot of preparation a lot of notes, a lot of polish it's always perfect and very well scripted it's extremely polished so I think next week I don't like being in the middle anymore alright, alright, okay finish that's what she said cream filling to our Oreo I think next week no I will get a lift here, and we are just going to do 100% happy hour. No nothing, no pinball, no notes, no nothing. A fuck it Friday to end all fuck it Fridays. What do you think? Okay. Glenn's pissed. He wanted to go into that. Glenn, tell your wife you're not coming home on Sunday. All right. Does that sound good? He's like, I might do it. But yeah. No, my kid's got school Monday. Yep, that happens. Okay. Family. So Ian and I might be here. family first here and uh we might just have like a year-end party how's that yeah it's fine so we'll talk about predictions we'll talk about things we loved about 2020 sure things we didn't like about 2020 there's a couple things yeah um did something fall off yeah and then um the other thing we should probably do my wife is down for uh laura and kathleen podcast my wife she's actually excited about it because she's like i want to take over the podcast so one of these days we might surprise you and just the bar yeah we'll set the bar and drink and the wives will just talk to you guys and you guys will ask them questions and they'll answer very honestly and we'll be there with our dick in our hands just drinking yeah and laura was like what the hell are we going to talk about i was like it doesn't matter no it doesn't you never know you guys you guys can go and tell our audience that you know whatever it doesn't matter all right well On behalf of the tribe, we want to thank you for getting us through 2020. This is something that has meant a lot to all of us. Maybe you doesn't seem to. Don't make me cry before we leave. Don't make me cry, buddy. But thank you. This has been silly and not serious, and that's how we want it. There's enough of that in our lives. That means a lot. All day I've been doing it this way. Look at that. Look at that. You're flicking your... Boner. Glenn, no, that means a lot because, you know, we always have entertainment in mind when we do this. And aside from tonight with my nipples that made millions and millions of dollars, normally we don't make any money. I mean, tonight was an exception. I showed the goods. I whored myself out. We made a lot of money. I mean, like, a lot. Like, millions. We're going to be buying that Keltz machine. in one time. Yes, yeah, the Kelts has already bought. FD zombie dog, that is hilarious. Line up a few $1,000 toppers in front of the desk and exchange dialogue periodically like a bouchee stripper. I like that. We got you. We do. No, but seriously, we've always set out for that. We've never wanted pinball fame. We never wanted people to think we were the most knowledgeable about pinball because we don't know shit. And we really appreciate meeting people like you. Tim Lee Martin lots of people help us with this show we've talked about it Martin, Tim Lee, Billy YJ Chris Chandler, Jonathan Hall all these people contribute in the background and this isn't our show this is just a community show we just happen to be the guys that sit in front of the mic every day we get drunk, act stupid act like ourselves so to all the tribe members to all the listeners, to all the people. We love you. Thank you so much for participating. Do you have anything else to add? Buy that stupid POSCAST shirt. Yes. Don't forget, guys. I am not bringing that shirt back. I swear to fucking God, once that's done, I'm deleting the file. This isn't one of those things where we release something and then five years later we re-release it. This is the who of POSCAST shirts. I do want to issue a challenge. I said I wanted a Star Wars comic book edition, right? Yep. Zach said he had one left. So flipping out pinball, one of the best distributors in the country. He does a good job. Him and his wife, Nicole, have one comic book edition left. If you guys don't buy it, I'm going to. Ooh, challenge accepted. By Monday? Yeah, he said it, what's today, Monday, right? He said it on his podcast today, which means he had one left. Next Monday. So I'm going to piss off my wife and buy it unless one of you guys buys it this week. So flipping out pinball, go there, buy the one comic book edition he has. He also has Avengers Pro. Okay, fine. He has lots of other things, but he has one comic book Star Wars Pro. Michael Williams, could they handle the chat? I mean, they married you guys, so I'm assuming so. Our wives won't know where the fucking chat button is. They won't know. They have no clue. My wife is very sassy and she'll just more than likely talk shit about me and you guys will love it. You will fall in love with my wife because you're like, she makes fun of Drew just like Ian. Oh yeah. Our wives are, if you think we're R, they're a hard R. We married some really rough women if you know what I mean. They don't listen. My wife tries to see you next Tuesday like once a week. Yeah, it's not pretty. Honestly, before I met my wife, I thought that was like a bad word and I never said it. And I'm like, she gives these out like candy. You know, so. What, HJs? Well, those two. I see what you did there. Yeah. They're also called old fashioned. Old fashioned? Ooh, an old fashioned. All right. What is it? Okay, I don't know. We love you kids. Thank you very much.
