No, my bidet water smells good. Listen, Matt, you're sort of cute, but you're getting gray. My lady viewers are very down. I used to have three. I know that scale. Yeah, look. Look at my not subscribed. 54%. I'm higher than you. I have 54 that don't. Why don't they subscribe? Why don't they subscribe, Schroeder? Subscribe, baby. You have to sing it. You have to go, subscribe. Like my video.

Just for men. Walmart has this, and it works great. I used it for four years. So do you really think that'll help you? It should bring up more people to his channel, for sure.

People don't want to see some gray-headed old guy. So do you think that the views are down because I'm getting older? I mean, yeah. Should I tell my audience I'm doing it?

If you're not persecuted leading into it. Or do I just show up all of a sudden my nice, new, handsome self and I don't say anything?

Hello, my children. I have brought you alcohol. For every one of you. Oh, whoa. Let's party. In the retro gaming world, there are two types of games. Arcade and pinball. These are their stories.

Oh, it wasn't even rolling. It wasn't? No, I wasn't rolling during your roll-on. All right, I got it. Is that pH balanced furrow, man? It's good. It's good stuff. This one's 48-hour, dude, so your D stuff was only 24. I mean, who says people don't put deodorant on in Target parking lot?

Oh, I got it right here. Oh, no. Did you ruin your shirt? It smells good, though. Is this straight pink? Streets of Rage has never been more trash. I don't know what, they probably did ruin the shirt, but it's fine. Alright, let's do this. Alright, stream set for one minute. I think we should go. Alright, are we in the right spot? Alright. Alright, let's see, we got... 15 waiting. What time is it right now?

You're live! What's up Flippy? Let me just put the camera around. 🎵 Thank you. Walter, how you doing? It's nice to meet you as well. So this is awesome. So I happen to stumble upon Walter Day here, who obviously we all know. Number one fan.

People just love to play games. People need to be distracted. And video games distract them from the love of the world. So if civilization doesn't collapse, if the media right doesn't get us, we just might be okay. If the Russians and Chinese don't fight, we might be okay in becoming gamers' universe. I love people's reaction to the drone, though, because everyone's like, what the hell was that, man?

We got a drone, man. We got a drone. We have a drone. I'm curious. Do you think that someone's going to just drive their car right onto it. It would break your thing, and then you'd be sad. And then I'd be sad to know you're sad. And then that would mean we're all sad, and this is supposed to be a happy time.

I don't want to be sad, Mason. Dude, that's a cool shot, actually. Are you going to use any of that footage?

Sweet. Kind of nerd using a knife and a fork to cut pizza. All right, it's time to play the grid. How you doing, Nick? You doing okay?

In third place. Who's in first place? Fourth place. Who's in first place? Stringer must be in the zone. He's not talking much. Actually, Eric is in first place. You guys better come for him. How do I get a weapon? Come on, Stringer, do it.

Stringer's upset right now. Although Nick is not talking much, but it's because he's in front place! Thank you so much. Thanks, man. Thanks for supporting the channel. I appreciate that. I'd really love it. Thanks.

I like $2 Super Chats, don't you? They add up. They add up. You know how to do it? You go to the bottom of your screen right there, and you click the button. You know what's sad to me now, though, is you get more $2 Super Chats now than I do. And you know my response to that? What? Is this.

Another camera. Are you going to? I don't know. So many cameras. Okay. We need more cameras. Guys, this is Todd talking. We need more cameras. Ralph, are you unmuted? Yeah, I unmuted myself. So what I'm going to do, Todd, is you go through the deck of the oil. She has no idea. This is a great shot right here. Ralph, you can get it. How long do you want us to go? You guys interact, and Todd's gonna eat it too, but Ty! Okay, cameras are rolling! Wait, hold on. One second. Bow, yeah. I'll do that later.

Guess what, pal. There's an awful lot of people in the car. Yeah, a lot of people. That's exciting, Todd. That's really it. You guys, I'm gonna zoom out. We'll practice stuff.

And action! Perfect! And perfect! Then we'll go to the Stern area and I'll get a shot. Wait, that's the game. Yeah. Shut up. Yeah.

Hi, man. Todd is introducing a segment. Ralph is going to let you be the host for the Stern segment, right? You're saying this is the Stern area. This year we've got a fun game. Tell them about what you're doing. Okay, great. Let me back it up here. Back it up I tall So I here at Pinball Expo with Jack Danger and I really excited to have this moment with you because I feel like you taken this amazing path and journey from like pinball player to you designed pinball machines now and you work for Stern like how cool tell me just a little bit about like That has to be mind-blowingly neat. This is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had You guys, that was outstanding!

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all. I ain't seen nothing like him in any business hall. The Death Dog Blanket, the place to meet him all.

Crazy flip-up fitness, never seen him fall. The deaf, the blind, he shall bless me with more. We're really friends. Yes, yes. Good friends. We hold back. A troublemaker. You've got to watch out for him. He's a good guy. Like, this guy came up to me. He was a voice actor. Does Bob the Builder? It's cool to meet you. I've been following your stuff for over a year now. I saw you review the arcade one.

That's a different channel. I'm watching the boys of Baxter and Baxter Fly. Oh my goodness. The whole thing's crazy. I like the cab. I like Bebop and Rex. I'll get you a part of it. I didn't know. I legitimately, I actually legitimately didn't know that he voiced the Turtles, which is pretty freaking awesome. Todd Tuckton told us that he would get more views if he was just for men blacking that beard. What do you think? Should he do it? No chance. He said, honestly, my views would go up tenfold if I die it. I would not do that. No, no, no.

This is not going in the video. It does say it's going to take 48 minutes. Or the route of driving is going to take an hour. No worries, gentlemen. I got you.

Watch the text on the drive. I'm trying to find some music. Bondo, Bondo Man. I'm gonna be a Bondo Man.

Why are we not there yet? Because I took the wrong turn twice. Yeah. And we almost got to do that too.

Rob is a great driver. I just totally messed him up. Parking right here. I'm assuming this is the parking. Is the parking bulky? Do you have a parallel park?

We are at Prince Arcade in Chicago. And Ralph is here, a Wreck-It Ralph fan. Oh, no, Retro Ralph. Wreck-It Ralph Retro Ralph is the same.

It's right there. Total Nuclear Annihilator's favorite game. Here's the deal. I'm playing this boy one game. I want to practice. He just wants to play. With this score, the owner of GMT Units, weighing in at 150 pounds, Todd, totalizing 20.

And he's scored from... Hey, man! Ho! Ho! Say! Ho! Let's get ready to play pinball! Oh, this is easy.

Oh! What happened? Oh! That's a fair. Yes! You win now! Oh, no, no! Frank's disappointment. Frank can't even take it anymore. Look at the score, Jerry. You need to choke on this ball.

That boy's so highballed! Ow, the reactor! What?! What the hell Look at that vital score He cheated He cheated

You can't even top straight whenever I'm whispering in your ear, huh? When are we gonna color his beard?

I feel like I'm getting a tattoo or something. This stuff's permanent. Now we put it in the tray. We mix it.

And it changes. The colors in this pure, dark black. You did get black, right? You see, the problem with Ralph and his channel is that he's becoming old looking. For him to appeal to the younger ladies and the players of today, they want to see a guy that does not have gray in and out and throughout. I don't think it's what's really impacting my viewership. You don't? What do you think? Come on.

Clean the brush handle and repeat. You are a pro at this, right? Like, you promised me that this is something you used to do a lot of. I did because I was... Now we have to wait five minutes. Five minutes later. It's not permanent, right? So if it wasn't great, would they sell it? I guess not. so todd he is he has convinced me that this seems like a good idea and he does appear to know what he's doing they have a skin allergy warning that's why you have to wash your feet what i don't have a skin reaction imagine going out what you're gonna do we're not gonna follow you into the bathroom i don't know if that would be wise so we'll let you go in and wash Okay, I got this. He's never had a man treatment before, has he? He's never been manscaped. No, no, no, no, Todd. Manscaped is something completely different.

Shall we start with the chin? It's close to enough, Todd. I didn't get to the edible part, where it says it's poisonous. What? And could kill instantly. just imagine this will look great the gray's going baby it's filling in pretty good you're literally painting your hair have you ever applied it to another man? never this is the first I gotta admit Todd you're very thorough because I feel like it feels thorough I don't know how this shit works isn't it impressive he be glow in the dark it's looking good holy it's wicked dark what okay we're almost done i don't want to tickle me and now five minutes later let's rejoin retro ralph's face oh my god what i look like i look like santa claus from the santa claus movies oh my god why isn't this thing working

It's so dark! It's not coming off! Wow, my dress is getting off though! It's not coming off! I haven't looked like this in forever! I don't know about that. You haven't looked like that since you had great YouTube numbers.

Frank. Frank, look what Todd did to me. Because you're left alone, man. I am forever indebted to Todd. This was amazing. And now you better get some more lady viewers. Yeah, and a pinball expo first.

What the f***? Billy Mitchell? Whatever. Toasty!
