All get around, he's on the rebound Hear the sound of our buddy, oh lordy, it's Orby Pinball now to rejoice He's tugging pinball, craft beer and coffee Myth to syrup and honey Homestead life with his family And a random tangent Stories of his boys He's on the poor man's pod network We're gonna get more listeners for the Pinball Nerds Podcast. Coming to you from beautiful River Hibbert's, Nova Scotia. Welcome back, Pinball Nerds, to episode 605 of your fifth favorite pinball podcast. My name's Orbital Albert, and I'm so excited to... Wait, did I say fifth favorite pinball podcast? I should have said, your 20th favorite pinball podcast! actually to be fair I was ranked 20th on the Twippies ratings but that's because so many of you generous awesome people rated me in your top three which is surprising because my whole goal is just to be your fifth favorite and many of you listening right now I know you wanted to vote for me as your fifth favorite pinball podcast but that ranked balloting only goes to three I hate to give constructive criticism I don't want to come at Colin this early the Twippies aren't for another month. Sorry, the Twippies were only a couple weeks ago. Was it like two weeks ago? It seems so long ago already. But in a year from now, y'all are going to get to choose. If I get to move up just one spot to your 19th favorite pinball podcaster, and that would mean calling. Could you do rank balloting to top five? Like, geez, I'm just in that one category maybe, so other people don't say it takes too long. But think about all these other pinball podcasters who would have ranked much higher, because yeah, maybe we're not well, I guess now the now cancelled Canada. Maybe we're not Canada's Pinball Podcast. Maybe we're not the Pinball Show. Maybe we're not risen or fallen from glory as hard or as far as Final Round did, right? Not doing anything Jeff did, of course. That was more a Marty thing. Sorry, and Marty that's by association, again, because Marty hasn't came out and talked. We really don't know how much he had to do with Haggis. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but at some point Teolis, I'm sorry. I gotta call a spade what a spade is, you're going to have to talk to Marty. You're going to have to talk to Marty, or you're going to have to let Loser Kid talk to Marty. Somebody's going to talk to Marty. If all the people saying that we want to accept Marty Robbins back into the pinball community, somebody got to do some truth in. Now, maybe there's like legalities. It sounds like that Damien guy is truly a demon. Unkind would be too nice to call him, to be honest. But I am here today to tell you how I scammed a scammer. That's right, only two minutes of jibber-jabbing at the start, and we're going to get right into it. I want to be 19th pretty, pretty, pretty bad, so I'm going to try to go off topic a little bit less often and give you guys a short and concise episode direct and to the point. Now, first, I do got to give just a little tiny bit of love to my boy Donald, Donald D. Garrison over there. Is the D for duck? Donald Duck? I know you love Disney, So is it like Donald Duck? Sovereign Succotash. I don't know. Anyways, that was horrible. If I warm up and hear a little Donald Duck, I can do it way better than that. It's the same thing with my Irish or even Dutch. If I'm over there in Holland for a while, I can do the Dutch accent pretty good. And let me tell you, when you are in Amsterdam, you will never run out of things to do or people calling on the phone. The school messenger is calling to let me know that my student, Owen Agar, was late for school because he got out the door a little bit late this morning. Thank you so much, Canadian system, for calling and basically doxing me on my own phone system. It's hard enough for me to pay attention as it is. And then the Canadian school board is going to call in and dox. And I can hear it right now, so I'll just have to talk through this. But many of you know that Kerry Hardy last night put up a video calling out not only a moderator, who I'm not going to name by name. I'm trying to be drama-free since episode 493. And y'all heard in my last episode, I went pretty easy on Kaneda. Don, whose birthday it is today, happy birthday, buddy. Don, you know, he did not go as easy on Kaneda as everybody else would have, should have, or could have. No, he did not. But I think it was fair because Kaneda has blasted Don the most over the last, like, what is it, year and a half? Almost every single show, Kaneda has came out, came at Don or had at least a slight jib or a rib or whatever, you know, and Don, for the most part, has been pretty good about not mentioning it. Maybe he talks about it over there on WAP. I don't listen to WAP. I don't find WAP very positive, so I don't listen to it, because if you're going to average, I mean, I don't tell you guys I'm positive. I tell you guys I'm the second most negative Nancy, the second biggest Debbie Downer in all pinball, and I tells it likes it is. I shoots it from my hip, which is in a lot of pain from doing 20,000 steps the other day. I won a bet and did 20K steps in 12 hours. I was hurting for it. Hadn't done that in a while. But let's get back to Scammer McScammon's, okay? His name is Mike's Pinball Machines. Now, I doubt his name is Mike because the broken English is so bad that very few people name Mike unless they were coming from like, I don't know, even in France. Is there like, hi, bonjour, I am Mikal. Wouldn't it be Mikal or something like that? Oh, at the end, by the way, speaking of languages, I'm going to stretch out these legs here at Orbeez Pinball Podcast Studio because I walked too much recently. So these knees are sore. I normally sit cross-legged. I don't want to give away too much. I'm normally here 100 feet under the ground in Orbeez Studio recording. But for this one day, for this one scam video, I'm looking out through a beautiful sunny window. There was a squirrel not too long ago out there on that rotting pumpkin. It was gorgeous. Franchi is yawning right now, laying down for a nap, hopefully going to let me do an episode. Elwynn is down there at the end of my feet, keeping them warm, because it is still cold AF here. But it was warm enough here the other day I got to tap my maple trees, which was great. But let's get back to Kerry Hardy's video, which came out yesterday, which was February 26th. We're almost done. We're almost into March. Yay! Spring can't come soon enough. so he put up a video where he talked about a certain moderator and pinball enthusiast getting the pinball pimp it's so funny that the pinball pimp done got pimped like literally he got sold to the lowest bidder and the lowest bidder wasn't even him it was some other guy called pinball pimp on ebay that I guess shilled him Win Schilling is the wrong word he literally just scammed the guy and didn't send him his stuff so Kerry Hardy had this hot This is why people love Cary Hardy, because when something big like this comes up, when someone is owed their due, they get it. And that's why I was okay with Don doing it. There was a lot of pushback against Don. Cal, Cal or Cale, whatever it is, however you pronounce your name. No, it's Cale. It's Cale of Electric Bad. It's Cale and Rachel. Come on. These guys are the award-winning first place Twippy winners. Don't forget, get your wife's name out my mouth. Okay, no one is slapping anyone here. Kale did, I almost started tearing up. And this man was not wearing a shirt, as if he wasn't sexy enough before. Kale, get out of here. Come on. Wear a shirt. Don't do that to me. My 3% gayness is tingling. Wear a shirt when you're going to do your TikToks, okay? Your ticky-tocky, swicky-swocky. But Kale had no shirt on. And would you believe it that Frangie, this far into an episode, is already awake and bothering me. I swear to God, if this man distracts me through the whole pinball podcast, I'm going to lose it. All right. So Cale did this whole thing saying, would everyone please go easy on Kaneda? And it's like, but Kaneda never goes easy on anyone else. And I get what Cale is saying. It's better to like turn the other cheek and be the bigger person. But like he's said and done some inexcusable stuff to Don. So for the first time ever in my pinball podcasting career, I'm going to have to disagree with Cale. Canada got what he deserved because he deserved that because Canada it's been like I don't know 80 to 90 percent shots fired from Canada and Don maybe if he's had like two ciders or more will give a little piddle back so it's like nah nah nah nah nah yeah Don's came at me harder than he's ever gone at Canada and finally he's gone harder at Canada right so anyways I am gonna sing happy birthday to Don but don't worry I'm not gonna do it till the end of the show Franchie I'm going to also sing in French and you're not going to love it because I'm not a good singer but you know it's there I'm also going to sing in Dutch so I'm going to do half Dutch I'm not going to sing the whole song ain't nobody need to hear the whole song I'm going to do it like two sentences in French three or four sentences in Dutch which they don't sing happy birthday in Holland over there they're cheap they sing growing like a tall tree growing like let's save the singing till the end but I'll do that anyways I had the pleasure of watching Kerry Hardy's awesome video about scamming the scammer known as Mike's apostrophe S pinball machines, all small pinball machines, not a business account. It's set up as a friend. That's the first warning. It's a scam. Okay. The second warning, well, there's lots of them is broken English, so on and such forth. And to the 400 of you, including the 23 mutual friends I have on Facebook that are part of Mike's either get scamming him and be careful or leave the fricking group because the dude is a scammer and I can prove it right now. Okay. So right after I watched Kerry Hardy's video where he had evidence that this guy was complete scammer, there was the signs were there with the long email address with the word worldwide at the end. The signs were there, but we didn't know for sure if he was until after he got to the point where he said, oh yes, just send me the money for the shipping because that's what they do. They just get you just send you the money for the shipping. They know you're not going to send $6,000, $7,000, $8,000, $9,000 without looking into it further, correct? Guys, I'm just getting over a cold. I have a little tinnitus still or tinnitus. I don't know the YouTube videos they say tinnitus. It's ringing in the ears. It sucks. I get it most commonly in January and February after getting some type of sinus cold. The sinus cold is long gone. The ringing in my ears is still here and I can't even use any type of masking video, which kind of sort of sounds like crickets. I can't even use anything like that while I'm on the podcast with you, because then, therefore, you would have to listen to it. So just you have a sip of your coffee, okay? Let me have a quick little sip-sips of my drink-drinks here. I'm not having coffee also, by the way, because tinnitus can be exasperated by alcohol, so I have to be off alcohol. How boring. And then no caffeine, so no energy drinks or coffee? No angry alpaca coffee for orbs? Give me a break. All right, this is funny. This is funny. You guys have got through the start part. Shake it off. Shake it off. Okay, we're clean. We're dry. We're ready to get wet. Let's get in here and get all scammed up. So as soon as you put out this video, I watch every afternoon something called Ruck Fobo Calls, which is a turn on the phrase you can't you can imagine I'm trying not to swear on this show I'm trying to make it slightly more safe for work it'll never be family friendly but maybe it could someday be safe for work so ruck fobo calls is exactly what it sounds this guy goes after those idiots phoning you trying to like sell you your own house or buy your house to sell it for more or uh just just just telemarketers and scammers being scammy okay but I watch him all the time so I I always thought this would be fun myself to do it and I have I have scammed a couple scammers in the past I have had it I have actually had people come knock on my door uh including the Jesus freaks some of the the the whatever the the people with the I forget the people who come to your door they have to come to your door and they there's a name for them those the latter-day saints or something I don't know anyways I've actually tried to sell them coffee or tea or take them for a garden tour or made them play pinball I've done it all I had a politician come to my door once and she actually did win for MP in London, Ontario. And she ended up not only seeing all my pinball machines, she didn't want to play one because she didn't say she had time, but she did the entire tour of my most beautiful home veggie garden, which was probably one of the nicer veggie gardens in all East London, maybe not in North, South, or West, but in East London, probably one of the nicer veggie gardens. I was included on the London tour. And I said to her, if just every single solitary person in London that's lower to medium income that owns at least a small amount of land or at least has like, even if you have a townhouse, you don't have to own it, a townhouse or an apartment that's facing the sun for part of the day, anything. If you got them, just instead of paying them out thousands and thousands of dollars of what we used to call welfare, there's nicer terms for it now, I think it's called Ontario Works or such, but basically for people who are lower income or cannot work for various reasons, we basically here in Canada give them thousands of dollars per month. And I said, but if you just back that down by like five or 10 bucks and you added once one of their monthly payments in the spring to come with literally like five, five, $1 packages of seeds, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers. Um, I forget the last two, but like, it was like five super duper easy to grow things that can save you money. Each and every person could be more sustainable and almost all of these people have like decent enough soil to grow in everybody has room for a tiny little so it is springtime so my pitch to you today my my off-topic orby pitch is if you've ever thought about starting a garden do it this year do not spend thousands of dollars don't like pay to get a company to come in and build it for you do it yourself spend as little as possible because you not only want to break even on this but you want to make money on this especially with vegetables, especially if you're Canadian, unfortunately, but everybody really is seeing vegetables across the board getting more and more and more expensive, and fruit and everything. To this day, yesterday I had a smoothie and I used blackberries that I picked anywhere between May, April, June, July, August, maybe even September of last year. I, in fact, have a YouTube video about me going out and picking the, I think I have four videos up. I think when I get to 7 to 10, I'm going to do like Ian did here from the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast, of course, on the good old network here. Ian did. He waited until he had like 5 to 10 bartender videos up where he's mixologist, and he put them all up at once. I'm trying to do that, so I've got a couple more I'm working on, but I will share them all with you guys. The McDonald's video is there. There's also a blog video from a couple years ago. There's a couple other things. My kids made me take down or private a whole bunch of videos from back in the day because they're younger and they don't want to get made fun of locally or anything like that. That's just the garbage of the recycling. And now Franchi just jumped up where I'm recording. Okay, time out. You've got to go for a time out. Please stop. I'm trying to record a podcast. It's just the garbage truck. All right, let's just, I've gone off topic too much. Let's just get into my messages with Mike here. So, Mike's Pinball Machines. Now, be careful if you're doing this yourself. Never give them real information, yada, yada, yada. I lead a pretty public life. I mean, even our Angry Alpaca Cafe is right on Google Maps. So, like, people pull up sometimes trying to buy stuff, and we're like, no, no, no. Like, we're at markets, and we're wholesale. You can come here and buy stuff and pick stuff up, of course, but I don't have, like, a storefront where you can just pop by. Like, if you pop by right now, well, Franchi and Elowen are sitting here watching the recycling truck go by while at the same time I'm recording a podcast in my boxing shorts, you're not going to want to buy any coffee or tea right now. There is no storefront, so don't come here. So I sent a message. Thankfully, they're gone. Franchi, come here, bud. Come here. Come sit down. Get off, Elwin. No. Good boy. Come up here. Good boy. Come sit down. Thank you. Yep there we go Okay Franchi what a shit disturber eh Kind of like the real guy Stirring that pot You stirring that pot aren ya Aren ya Yeah what a good boy I'm going to take him for a very, very long walk. When we are done, this will go feed the chickens. He does normally go for a nap around this time in the morning. So I thought when I started the pod, he would let me sleep. But of course, he can hear me talking a lot. And honestly, I don't know what indoor voices are. So probably most likely this may have, you know, prevented Franchi from sleeping much. But he's here. He's giving me cuddles while we're talking. So let's get into it. So I messaged Mike Pinball, Mike's pinball machines last night when he probably would have been sleeping. If he is somewhere, say, on the other side of the world, which I'm assuming Mike is, if his name is even Mike. So I said, hello, I see you have Deadpool for sale. Is it still available? Now, I don't know how I should do the other person's voice. I'll just do it deeper. I'll try to do my best Jeff Teolis if Jeff Teolis was a surfer. I don't know why, because surfers don't scam people often. They really don't. But, you know, anyways, here we go. I'm going to do Mike as a surfer. It's a voice I can do. It's a voice I'm familiar with. I hung out with a lot of surfers, skateboarders, most of my life. And half the punk rock guys kind of sound like that anyway. So here we go. I'll do my voice. Well, I guess I'll just do it normal. Hello, I see you have Deadpool for sale. Is it available? Then, how many hours later? 1.45 p.m. Wednesday, not until 2.29 p.m. So a couple hours later, not too bad actually. Hello, Albert. Yes, it's still available. Are you interested in getting it, brah? Okay, he didn't say brah, I added that. Yes, how much is it? I can pay right away for the right price. I'm asking $7,500 for the machine. Let me know if you're okay with the price. This was at 6.54 a.m. It's like, I'm sleeping, dude. I told you I'm here in Canada. Question mark, question mark, question mark. They write me at 6.54 a.m. when they can see I'm online. So these people are paying attention. So then I said, after taking a look at the pictures, I think the value is closer to $5,900 or $6,300. because of where the shooter Gavin is, as well as the amount of flex coming from the capacitor and the current market value. What is the lowest price you could do? Okay, so right here, I'm kind of testing them. Maybe, maybe, maybe Cary Hardy's wrong. The guy who won content creator of the year, pinball podcaster of the year. No, he didn't win pinball podcaster. He won like half the categories that the Twippies, okay? He won a lot of them. Can we make it so you can only win one Twippy per year? Now I sound like Kaneda implementing rules. This is horrible. I will implement a top five rules so that Orby can move up to 19th next year. I'd actually be okay with that. I don't mind slowly moving up. I'm going to be in this. I will be making pinball content for at least the next 20 years. So, I mean, I would only be, what, 65 by then. I'd be getting my CPP and my OAS up here if we don't become the 51st state. Wait, does Trump take away, I maxed out my Canadian pension plan. I maxed out my old age security. So if Trump takes over and he's my new president and I'm in the 51st state, yo, are you taking away my pension? That's all I have. I can take early pension at 55 and the other one at 60. Yo, don't be taking away my pension. I'll become an American. I'll give up my Canadian flag. I'll stop enjoying maple syrup, okay? I'll never have another ketchup chip again. But Trump, if y'all take my pension, I'm going to cry. You don't want to see me cry. He doesn't like men to get emotional. Men aren't supposed to have emotions in his world. So I won't cry. I'll say, oh, I'm very upset about it, Trump. I don't know why I'm doing the surfer voice. Let's get back to scamming the scammer. I'm trying not to get distracted here, but wow. Okay, so the other part I loved here is I actually said the shooter Gavin. It's been on my mind that the new Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore movie is coming out soon. and so I was thinking about Shooter Gavin and Shooter McGavin and so but also I was I don't know why but I was thinking about Gavin from the dead flip stream uh there's always the uh I think even to this day you can put like Gavin exclamation point it's like thank you Gavin for lending us his bins for years and years and years uh this awesome dude Gavin who's also a very good tournament player and a really cool operator really fun dude overall did many streams I got to see him in several streams um he would be on the dead flip uh thing all the time so I was trying to just do little things here to see if maybe he knew what he was talking about at all in case he wasn't a scammer in case carrie hardy was wrong i don't think he was wrong but just in case he was so i said as uh because of the where in the shooter gavin but i accidentally spelt it w-h-e-r-e and as carrie hardy mentioned this scammer is most likely using a translator and i thought whoa whoa whoa this is going to throw him off so i had to make sure that i fixed it and i wrote a new message And I said, sorry, where, W-E-A-R, in the shooter lane that has gavined it out. To make it sound more real, in case, you know, he's looking up shooter lane and seeing if I'm real, because he still hasn't written back. So I said, or he or she, because I don't believe it is actually Mike, okay. Would you take $6,500 I can pay today in Canadian bucks or Bitcoiners or arcade tokens? You choose. Now, later on, I say Jack Bar tokens. I don't want to give it away, though. Okay, and then Mike writes back. hold on, let me think about it and get to you. Okay. Who would say that? No one in North America, no one in Europe, no one in Australia, no one with English as a first language pretending to be in North America would say, would say that. So that's just another little tip. Hold on, let me think about and get to you and get to you. They would say, and get back to you. Right? So I said, also, just to make it sound real. Also, how much is shipping to Nova Scotia, Canada? and then I responded to the hold on and let me think and get to you and I said sounds good but don't wait too long I'm looking to get a few pinball tables I love it, pinball tables and I'm buying one today but I can only afford one now I should have said because I'm here on the Poor Men's Pinball Network I am the poorest of all the poors Orbeez Arcade is sad and boring and empty I only have a few hundred dollars left that I could even access even if I wanted to It's getting bad here, but I'm not asking for money. In fact, you'll see soon, I'm actually giving some money away. Not $6,900, but I'm giving, in brackets, some money away. So let's, what does Mike now say? Now he can see I want to, like, I'm going to spend money somewhere else, bro. All right, because I'm looking for a, all right, bro, because I'm looking for a fast sale. Could you do $7,000, including shipping? Okay, he didn't say bro, I added that. Mike, or whoever you are. So I wrote back very quickly. You run a tough bargain. Sorry, I can only pay. Now, I've learned this from other scammers. I'm watching them. If you're scamming the scammer, you never say yes right away because that really will make them think. Plus, I'm trying to waste the maximum amount of time. With Kerry Hardy inadvertently giving this the most, you know, they're probably getting the most new likes, the most new shares. Anyone who already has them is looking at going, but is it a scam? They're probably getting the most messages they've ever got. And I want to prevent even one more person from getting scammed today, especially someone who hasn't had the opportunity to see the video, which just came out a couple hours ago. So if anyone was about to buy a pinball machine today, I'm trying to take up all the scammers' time dealing with me. Now, could there be multiple people at Mike's trying to scam? Probably. But it seems like it would just be a one- or two-person deal, because hopefully not too many people. Please, please, please message me on Facebook under Pinball Nerds Podcast. Message me, and let me know if you've ever been scammed by this Mike guy. First of all, I might, I did work for TD Canada Trust, one of the largest bank, I think like the second largest bank here in Canada. I think they even have like TD of the North. Like you can go to TD and like, I don't know, like different places there. But anyways, the point is, I might be able to, depending how long it's been, because of how I understand the banking system, I might be able to help you with, I mean, hopefully yourself, you could do a chargeback, even if you hopefully didn't pay for the full pinball machine, but just the shipping. So let me keep going on here with this or we're never going to get through it, Orby. Stay on track. All right. So I can't pay $700 more than market price of this beautiful Ryan Reynolds table. So I'm testing to see if he knows that Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool and the table part and all that kind of stuff. So no response. you should be able to flat ship anywhere in North America for 500. Totally not true, but I just want to see if they... I mean, it's probably true in American money, but of course we're talking Canadian. I told him I'm from Nova Scotia. And then he doesn't respond for like 10 minutes and I start to get worried. So I say, I will just look locally. 700 for shipping is too much, especially with a shooter McGavin that looks like that. Now I think they get I'm onto it. Like they're figuring it out. They're talking amongst themselves over there. So then I write back, last chance to try to suck in Mike and steal more of their time. 6,900 is max I can do with shipping included. Within a millisecond, Mike's right back. Okay, how much you do for all including shipping? All right, we proceed? Yes, we proceed. I love that. All right, we proceed? No, all right, can we proceed? Who talks like that? Nobody. Nobody. All right. so then I responded to the can we proceed and said do you admit the shooter McGavin has a lot of wear and then I waited and nothing came back so I said we can proceed with the table purchase but only if you agree the wear and tear in the shooter's lanes and we can do 6,900 then lickety split yes I acknowledge the shooter the shooter on Gavin Mike wrote this, I love this yes, I acknowledge the shooter on Gavin does show somewhere however, it's still functional and doesn't affect gameplay would you like me to consider that in the pricing? can you not read? obviously you can't, I already said I included that and that's why I'm only paying you 69 baby because, you know, I don't find anything with 69 to be humorous or funny but maybe Shooter McGavin does Okay, definitely Happy Gilmore would. That's probably going to be the number on the back of his Boston Bruins jersey for Happy Gilmore 3. Alright, so I wrote back, can we proceed with the table purchase, but only if you agree about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Alright, they tagged that and said, alright, are you willing to purchase it now? And then I said, and then I responded to their thing. I acknowledged the Shooter McGavin to show somewhere. So I responded to that by saying, thanks for admitting the shooter Gavin isn't the best. Okay, shall I proceed with the nicest Ryan Reynolds table I have seen? As being Canadian, I worship Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool, of course. I'm sure you knew that. I'm sure they did know that. Come on. All right, are you willing to proceed with payment now and we discuss the shipping process? Yes! All caps, all caps, all caps slash no cap with an exclamation point. shipping will be tricky as I live in an off-grid homestead brah wait why no that's I wrote that to him I can't do his voice shipping will be tricky as I live in an off-grid so if they're if they if they live in North America even if English isn't their first language they could probably figure out like off-grid because they're they're saying they're in North America right not me so off-grid so if you're off-grid you have no power so the only way you could pay pinball would be with a generator so you probably are not playing pinball but anyways I thought I'm trying to give them little hints here, you know, just a little, little tidbits. I'm having fun. I knew I might read this on the Pinball Podcast, not going to lie, so having fun here. They wrote, don't worry about, so which, don't worry about that, when I said it might be tricky because I live in an off-grid homestead, and it's wintertime here in Canada, like they should know that. You're shipping to Canada, you should know that. They said, don't worry about that, so which payment method are you familiar with. So I replied, don't worry about that. The pond surrounding me is still frozen and it's so cold. Even the dog sled delivery is hit or miss by meow. Okay, I added the by meow. And I have receipts for all this. I've copied and pasted in case he blocks me or deletes it because this Mike, he deletes a lot of messages. I'll tell you that three or four at least in here already. If the beautiful Ryan Reynolds isn't packaged for shipping properly, he will get cold. He is Canadian, not Inuit. Now, for those of you who don't know, the term, the colloquial term, that is incorrect, that used to be termed was Eskimo for Inuit, but they preferred to be called Inuit, which are the version of the Canadians that we have here, not to be confused with other Arctic living or Northern living like in Russia and other places. I'm trying to remember the place where they live, but there's other people who live in the north who have also been called Eskimo who are similar to Inuit, but slightly different. But anyways, the point is, I was having a little bit of fun here with him explaining that, like, he's a Canadian, but he's not from the north, north, north Arctic circle where it's freezing where I live, right? Which they would know Inuit lived there if they were probably from North America, especially Canada, but, or if they did a tiny bit of research. However, I suspect this person is googling and translating a ton of stuff. So they're like, what the hell is this dude talking about? Which is part of what I'm trying to do is burn their time, right? Like we are going on to, well, I'll just say at the end rather than updating every time we talk. Okay. So then Mike wrote, or may you have give me a different address, which would be perfect. No, like there's no period. There's no exclamation. Like no one speaks like this, especially not a business person. Also it's another warning science it's set up as a as a friend not a business so so what I did is I thought about okay another place well the place that I've always wanted to go is in a beautiful little town called Dilda some people would pronounce it dildo but not the people of Newfoundland so I said because he said is there anywhere else you could send it so I said yes you could send it to seven front road dildo or dilda newfoundland aob1po canada north america how long would it take to get my ryan table here i want it before april 1st as that is a very important holiday here in homesteadia so again homestead of homesteadia is kind of a joke term i made for this place a long time ago when we were stuck here during uh the disease that made us not leave our house for years you're welcome me in. I didn't mention it. I had to do my best to like try to be self-sustainable here. So we harvested like 25 pounds of honey that year. We brought in eight and a half pounds of maple syrup. We brought in, we made like 40 large one liter. I think that's like similar to a quart for the Americanos as opposed to everyone else in the rest of the world using liters by meow. but we made these spaghetti sauce and like pasta sauce which we used in every lasagna every pizza every linguine every fettuccine not the alfredo type of course but like we used it for for years and years and years until and believe it or not yes if you do the canning process properly and you boil the cans and you wait for the and you do all the pop is cool when it starts popping it's also a little scary but if you do your canning properly you can wait three four five six maybe Who knows? Yeah, you might want to pull. If there's mold on the top, you pull it off and you just eat it. That's what canning is, guys. Sorry. We didn't put an expiry date on it. We ate them until recently. I did not sell them. Even though I did promise Franchi, poor Franchi, I promised him one of Albert's awesome organic applesauces, which we only made for one season, by the way. Pain in the ass to make. Really yummy. Pain in the ass to make. There was one left on one shelf, and that one did have to have an expiry, and I pulled it off the shelf, and I had promised it to Franchi, but by the time I got home that did have green on top as I suspected it might before I shipped it That one was not canned because it applesauce and it has a quick expiry But anyways point is sorry Franchi That why you never got your applesauce This is why you finding out now You have endured 605 episodes of Orbeez Pinball Podcast You deserve your flowers, big boy. Wow, we are 30 minutes into this. I got to keep going. Okay, so I would want it before April 1st. So there's another little hint. Many of you know I joke that April 1st. I'm such a prankster. I love doing parodies. SNL is my favorite TV show. Jackass was my second favorite TV show and probably my favorite movie series of all time. So I am a prankster. You've heard my stern rant. You know how, wait, wait, some of you haven't. I actually should do a mini paywall where I just put some of my more, the delicate flowers can't go listen to those ones because they'll think I'm being serious. By the way, my studio is not really 100 feet underground, just to let you know. So it would take three to four business days. What? So this is what I'm thinking. Three to four business days, bro. You're overshooting it here. Should have said like one to two weeks. But anyways. So sorry. Mike writes back. It would take three to four business days. So do you want me to start arranging the shipping as soon as possible now? I said yes. Let's us. Let. Let. Let's proceed meow. Then Mike says. I also need the following information. Name and order. Phone number. an email address. So then I responded to the, it would take three or four business days. Wow, that's super fast. Usually anything coming from America takes three to four days just to get to the border. Then at least a week by train headed due north. Then you have to get it to the edge of the Arctic Circle. Then it, or sorry. Wow, that is super fast. Usually anything from America takes three to four days to get to the border. then at least a week by train to get to the edge of the North Arctic Circle, then at least one day by snowmobile or skidoo, then at the very least at least one more day by dog sled delivery, dog sled, and then a delivery speed skater would have to toboggan the rest before it finally finishes using a ski lift. I thought that was genius if I had just read it properly the first time. If I could have read it as eloquently as I typed it, It would have sounded beautiful. Okay. I also need the following information in order. Yeah, you said that, my dude. I said, you don't know my name? I'm a very famous pinball podcaster. I should have said I'm your 20th favorite, Mike, but I didn't. I thought everyone in pinball knew me after 600 episodes where I never go off the topic of pinball. All right, your phone number and email then? It's like, whoa, bro, you're trying to scam me. Why are you rushing me? I'm trying to take as much of your time up, Mike. Okay, I said name, Orbital Albert, of course. Phone number, so this is the dildo brewing. It's completely public. I'm not doxing anyone. You can see dildo brewing on Google. He can Google it too and see it's dildo. He asked for a different address. I tried to give him mine. He asked for a different one. So I said it's 709-852-3335. Please don't call and harass dildo. If you're going to come to Newfoundland and you want to call them and just ask how good their frothy whiteness tastes. Go ahead. But don't bug Dildo Brewing. Come on, Jimmy Kimmel already bugged Dildo enough. Did you know that Jimmy Kimmel is the honorary, politics aside, even if you don't like his politics, dude is funny as hell, and he actually is the honorary mayor. He has the keys to Dildo Newfoundland because he gave them so many shout-outs on the show. So a couple of you listening right now probably know about it. So I said, name, Orbital Albert, of course. then I gave the dildo phone number I said don't forget to dial one first and also add the arctic circle post pass code I thought that was genius the post pass code see if this if this nerd was a distro he probably would have heard of post pass unless he's a distro who hates playing tournament pinball but come on if you're a pinball distro you're smart enough never to publicly say you hate tournament pinball because tournament pinball is the lifeblood of pinball the 130,000 of us that are out there 5, 10, 15, 20 hours a week grinding it out on location, helping keeping the locations alive, buying the craft beer, putting all the coins into every coin op at every single location on planet earth, practicing up to play for the pinball tournaments are the one that keep the community moving. It's not the people who only buy one pinball machine and just look at it in their house. They're not going out and spending hundreds and thousands of dollars per year on pinball tournaments, going to expos, going to TPF, going to pinball at the beach. No, the nerdiest of the nerds know what a tap pass is and also if you ship to can't all the time you know what a postal code is so the fact that i said don't forget to dial one and also add the arctic circle post pass code would tell you that i'm scamming you mike you i'm trying not to swear on this episode so uh mike if you're listening go f yourself you frick i'm gonna take an upper decker in mike's office. That's what I'm going to do. Then he wrote back, all right. So I'm very excited he's getting this going. And I thought, honestly, as long as I don't open anything from it, I've already told him about my podcast. Anyone who has me on Facebook can see all my public information. So I said, pinballnerds at gmail.com. Now for the record, do not email me. I hardly ever look at that one. It could go months, sometimes years, and I don't even glance at it. Mostly it's just fake robo emails by now, so I don't care. But in case a scammer sends something to me, I'll just make sure to not open it and you do the same, but do not give your real information to a scammer. I shouldn't have done this. Honestly, I might not ever get an email there now because of this, but I might not have to open anything from them ever. I said, I do, I was getting worried he was going to start like asking for payments. So I started kind of making excuses early here. I said, I prefer to do COD, which is cash on delivery. If you're a pinball distro, you know that. I prefer to do COD, but I do have a ring camera on my igloo. So simply let me know approximately when the delivery is happening so I can stop drilling holes in the ice fever. Again, if you're a hardcore pinball nerd and a distro, you've probably heard of the game Ice Fever, which is my favorite, one of my favorite older pins. It's just an incredible pin. It's got a drop target that after you hit the drop target, you can shoot the ball into the, sorry, you can shoot, Jesus, Canada's gonna disown me. I'm gonna have to be part of the 50th state instead. Hawaii, here I come. No, if I was going to move to the States, I think I'd go to Hawaii. Even though I did meet the Hawaii WEP when I was... Rep? WEP? I did meet the... When I was in Wisconsin at Lumberjack Johnny's, I did meet the... Doing Pinmasters. That's coming up soon. And the NASACs. I'll be excited to watch both of those. I think it's going to be on Backhand Pinball. Make sure you guys tune into that. It'll be great. I really can't wait to see all the pins at Bruce's location. So, shout out to him. But, what the hell was I talking about? I've gone off topic too much. Just got a message about it. Okay, yeah, I do prefer COD, but I have a ring camera on my igloo. So simply let me know when a prox, the delivery will happen so I can stop drilling holes in the ice fever. Oh, I was talking about ice fever. So ice fever is really cool when you shoot the puck into the net, which you have to get rid of the drop target for, which in orbit goes around and in between, which is so cool as orbital Albert. I love that and respect that. But not only that, why don't we have cool shots like this anymore up on the back glass a physical actual small puck shoots across the screen and you can see the light and then like it goes into like this actual glass you know picture of a goalie definitely wasn't Patrick Waugh because he would have saved that shots but anyways let's keep going on here now he didn't write back for a bit so I thought ah he might have figured out between ice fever and igloo and ski lift uh he might be uh that Mike might be figuring out I'm not for real. So Mike writes, waits forever. And then I say, BRB, which stands for be right back. I got a message about another pinball table from someone local H. Now, if you're from North America, you remember the horrible band local H that only had one or two hits back in the day. He probably doesn't know that. So he just puts it into a, again, I was trying to think out of the box here. If he puts this into a translator, it's just going to say local. He won't know what the hell the H is. It's not going to bring up the band from the nineties. so anyways he writes back right away all right all right dude okay he didn't say dude i added that then i wrote back okay he already in all caps already sold his don's pinball pod table it's don's birthday i was chatting with him back and forth while i was talking to the scammer so i was just i had don on the mind and i thought you know if he's a real if you if you're anyone who's anyone don got like fourth i think or did he get third and take out kaneda did he get no kaneda like tied for second or something? I don't know. But Don was very, very, very close to Kaneda's points. Like, not very much. Like, if Don gets like 20 more or 30 more listeners this year, and Kaneda loses 20 or 30 more, which he probably already lost from being so frickin' rude to Kale and Rachel, instead of just being... I've thought about this for a couple days, because I was coming in pretty hot with the last one. This is literally what Kaneda should have said. Alright, I'm shocked they won, because they only do a podcast once a month, and I feel like I do probably put in more work. But he should have came to the conclusion, wait, they run two of the coolest, largest, most rad pinball arcades in the world. Maybe they're a bit busy, and maybe nobody needs daily information telling them pinball machines are too expensive, which is basically all you ever hear over there. Sorry, for two years we heard the chipping and the pooling is horrible, and for the last two years the only thing he's said is that he wants to win the Twippies again. He's a six-time Twippy winner. He loves his car. He loves expensive sushi, and he loves sake, and he's a minimalist who, you know, had a $50,000 Transformer collection. I don't know. Anyways, you make 3K a month from your pinball podcast, American. That's like 5.5K Canadian per month. That's more literally than I make in a whole year profit of doing collectibles. So I do want to say this as well before I finish the convo with Mike. The other day when I was talking about how I did make a crazy profit on that one Charmander, on average, I make 10 to 20% per card. that's it if I buy it for six dollars it goes on my table for eight usually someone offers seven honestly and then and then I even do specials from time to time where it's like buy three get one free so if they buy four cards they get 25 off all of them sometimes I've taken a loss I've taken a bath on many cards I had two of my most expensive cards the cards that sell raw like which means ungraded for say 40 to 70 dollars they came back PSA sixes do you know what those are worth I don't either because there's no comps there's no sales of either of those cards and psa6s that i can find anywhere online and if they were they would be worth like two or three dollars like no one cares so i gave one of them each to my sons and i said before you sell these crack them out of there and sell them raw but for now you can have these as a memory so that's the the nice part of being a collectibles dealer is i get to put some in my pc my personal collection i get to give some to my sons from once in a while if they're crappy ones but i sell all the expensive stuff and just the other day, I had two collections come in of sealed boxes worth $170. Now, just to let you know, you don't always make money with Pokemon. It is gambling. I'll be straight up with that. It's just as much of gambling as those kiddie arcades are where the kids go there and try to win tokens. The only difference is you can actually turn a good profit. Elowen is laying on the microphone cord, which is interesting because she's never done that before. Okay, go ahead. Like, usually it's Franchi bugging me. Sorry, Elowen just pulled down the cord there. Lay down. Go for a nap. It's fine. No, it's fine. I moved the cord. Okay. Let's just keep reading on here. Let's just keep reading on here. Elowen, let's blame that one on Elowen. Okay. So are you, oh, oh, oh, I said, okay, what's next? Let's go. I have to feed my goats and chickens before, before breaking their ice with a Zamboni. and then they didn't respond for a while so i put question mark question mark question mark then mike wrote back are you not serious and then i responded immediately wtf are you wasting my time do you not know who i am you already sold my ryan reynolds pin to someone else didn't you doing the old master bait and switch now i put master space b B-A-I-T. There goes my safer work. Damn it. Doing the old masturbate and switch, aren't you? Now, again, if they're putting this into a word train, I'm not doing this just to be facetious or funny. I don't even know what facetious means. I probably shouldn't use that word. But I'm not doing this just to be hilarious. I'm doing this because I actually find it funny to type that. But also because if they put the old bait and switch into a translator, it's going to tell them exactly what it should. And if they are from North America, they'll be like, what the hell? This guy's definitely kidding because he put masturbate. Anyways, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's move on here. I was trying to do safer work. Do you actually have Deadpool? Can we proceed or not? So here I'm like really trying to give them the money until I'm in a hurry. I have Deadpool. Please can we talk later? I'm a little busy now. I wrote back PayPal? question mark, EMT question mark. So EMT is known here in Canada as email money transfer. I think they use that in the rest of the world, but I don't know. Then they tag, can we talk later? And I tagged, okay, no problem. You messaged me question mark, question mark, question mark. So I thought you still had Deadpool and wanted to do a sale. So then I wrote a final last message figuring out they know it's a scam. I wrote, I have the cash ready. Just let me know where and when to send it. And then suspiciously, I went back on Facebook. I went offline so they could see I was offline. They wrote, all right. So finally they wrote back. So I wrote, have a good day. And if you want to sell that deadpool later, when you're less busy, simply let me know. Thanks. They wrote, okay. And so I loved their okay little thing just to show them it was all good. So then I came back in about 20 minutes and I wrote, not going to lie, if I hear back about another Ryan Reynolds Deadpool pin. Today I will buy it instead. They wrote back nothing. So I'm like, shit, I'm losing them. So I said, shats, I'm losing them. So I said, I can pay the entire 6,900 right now if you just tell me where to send it. And they wrote back immediately and said, when are you ready to get it? I said, I told you I can pay right now. But I have a long busy day here on the homestead and would prefer pay you before I start my day as I am off-grid and don't get any bars on my cell phone once I'm working on the farm in Auger. Joking about the Auger again to dig the holes through the ice, which there is a pond here and I do like ice fishing, but too many kids enjoy skating on it. I'm not going to be out there like, and honestly, I'm not sure if the fish from there are that safe to eat. So probably just keep buying my fish at Costco for now. Wait, Costco's American. Damn it. The Costco fish is such a good price and it's so yummy. That's another thing I can't eat now. Gosh, darn it. All right. Most of the, it's so wild. I use this app called Flash Food, which tells you which sales are like, which foods are on sale because I'm so poor. And usually it's yogurt on the last day, bread on the last day. Nope. It's everything from Florida or the United States. No one is buying anything American right now in all Canada. I think they're putting a tariff on the Teslas for 100%, which is kind of funny. Feel bad for my brother-in-law who has one because like if he has to get a new part for it or wants to trade in for a new one he's kind of screwed but whatever you did I mean Elon Musk had to assume there'd be some negative percussions percussions processions I don't know anyways try not to talk political the whole world is like like basically like I think Americans think that Canadians don't care about a 25% tariff on everything we sell to them but it would ruin our economies like literally people will start dying day one. People are already getting fired. People are already getting laid off. American companies are already choosing not to come here. We kind of are, like I hate to say it because I don't want to get Canadians mad, we kind of are the 51st state in that our economy is dependent. I believe, and don't quote me on this, 84% of all exports from New Brunswick, which I was the champion of that province, it's very, very, very close and near and dear to my heart for that and many other reasons, 90 or 84 of their exports all go to the United States and like 70 of that like Maine and New York State or something Like 90 of their exports or their wood is going there their stuff is going there I be the first to admit our economy is very very dependent on the American economy But if the 24 tariff which is supposed to come into four days, if this guy ain't, if he's not just bluffing, which he probably is, but if he's not just bluffing, like my son will probably lose his job, my wife might get her hours restricted, she won't get hired next year, other families will just keep their kids home because they won't be able to afford to send their children to school. I already live in the poorest county in all Nova Scotia, which is a very, very, very poor province, like other than Newfoundland, but we don't really talk about them over there in Dildo, right? So anyways, this could be very bad. Honestly, the podcast could have to end because of one man and his crazy rhetoric. It could. Like literally, I never would have thought I could have said because of Donald Trump, I'm sorry, I have to stop the pinball podcast and go back to work and get a full-time job because my wife and my son are no longer employable where we live. Like, it's crazy. It is crazy. I will go work at McDonald's. No, not McDonald's. It's American. I will go work at A&W Canada if I have to. I will sling little junior double burger, what do they call those little buddy burgers? I'll sling buddy burgers all freaking day long if I need to. I will. But we will be fine. Don't feel sorry for me. I'm just spending my money on scammers. And no, I do not have $6,900. but what I do have and I knew the scammer was going to just ask for the shipping what I do have is $345 so I said but you said you were not too busy to take my money so I figured you just didn't have it so what if I just simply pay you a five percent deposit for now just to hold the table until I shall return whenceforth finished my catfishing for the day so I've already mentioned multiple times that I'm fishing, so I just added catfishing. So now at this point, I'm pretty sure even if English isn't their first, second, third, fourth, or fifth favorite language, they will have figured out that catfishing is like, I'm probably a scammer. But we're still having fun here. So they wrote back right away, and I never thought they would. All right. I said, okay, that total is $345. Okay, great. Thank you. Said, I'm heading out to start my homesteading once my Angra alpaca coffee is done. So could we please get going on this? Where do I need to send the deposit? EMT or PayPal? And then they, I guess this is normal, but I accidentally, I meant to hit control V, which is copy and paste. Well, it's pasting, but instead I just hit V. So there is V there. just to be open and honest with you guys. I don't want to leave out any part of this conversation. So I wrote, at Mike Classic, I'm not even going to read this out loud. You guys can see it on the page here. I don't even want someone to chance sending this guy an angry message from me or something. If you're going to scam him, do what I do and take up his max time. Don't just be angry. Be funny. Be like Don. If you're going to make fun of Kaneda, be funny about it. Okay? Don't just say, oh, that's rude. I hate that. You know, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do that. But be funny about it. And then we as a pinball, we'll usually accept it as long as there's some humor included. Okay? Okay? It's the same thing with Conan. He's going to be doing the Grammys this week. We will accept some political talk. But make it funny, Conan, my favorite redhead on planet Earth other than Jeff Teolas. All right? So, okay. So, I knew this person was going to write back and try to give me PayPal or Zelly or one of these weird ones. So, I wanted to pretend like I gave them the money through EMT in Canada, which if they're in North America, because I used to work for the bank, I know it all goes through CertiPay, which happens to be in North Bay, and then the money would get to someone in North America in honestly 15, 20 minutes, maybe half an hour. But if they were lying to me and they weren't North America, it could take three to five days, and I'd probably have to do a wire transfer because EMT is not available. So here I'm trying to get them to admit that they're not in North America, or at least admit that they're scamming, or at least apologize, or at least admit to me they're going to take down their Facebook page, which would ideally be the best thing for it to happen. So before I report them to Facebook and I unfriend them, I want to make sure I've done the most amount of max damage and spent the most amount of time. So I said, okay, I sent $345 Canadian to at Mike's class, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Thanks and have a rad day, Mike. Now I went offline for like half an hour after this, knowing this guy would shats bricks if he found out that I sent this to the public address where he probably doesn't want me to send it because you don't put your public address public facing and then ask money to it because you know you're a scammer right so anyways uh I don't know what Mike said but I can see Mike's pinball machines unsent a message then Mike's pinball machines unsent a message. And then they said, hold on when I done. Nice. Nice. Definitely, definitely English is your first language there. The translator couldn't even say, could you please hold on until I am finished? Except for hold on, hold on. I got to scroll up again. Hold on when I am done. No period or anything like, I don't know. Anyways. So then I said, did you, I went offline for like 10 minutes and said, did you get the payment? I said, if you're in North America, you should get it within 20 to 30 minutes. And I waited another five minutes. And then I responded to the hold on when I am done. Hold on when I'm done. Oh, oh, okay, sorry. And then I waited another 20 minutes, didn't hear anything. So I said, my bank says it was delivered to your account. Yeah. Or I meant to say like, yay, but I think I put, yeah, okay, have a nice day. Thanks, Mike. you're even better than Elwin. Again, if he's just a scammer, probably doesn't know who the hell Elwin is. Maybe, but probably not. Said, by the way, 6,900 is a fricking steal, my duder. Never stop being rad AF. Now the invoice balances 6,545 Canadian funds, which will be paid COD in three or four biz days. If it is not delivered by April 1st, my fave day of the year here in Homesteadia, I will be unfathomably, I tried to use fathom, which, I don't know, unfathomably upset, and I would consider it a Freddy nightmare. By the way, shout out to Josh Roop from Loser Kid Pinball Podcast. He's doing these really cool rad market updates. Actually working with our buddy here, Ted Finley, who is a tribe member, very proud tribe member. So go check out pinballprices.com and also Loser Kid Pinball Podcast, where he was explaining about market manipulation, which is really interesting because I've actually been delving into market manipulation that's been happening somewhat not usually by me even though arguably with some lower end Pokemon cards they are starting to become gradable so I've actually been really listening to this and one of the top guys on collectibles on market manipulation is also an avid pinball collector his name is Rudy from Elf Investments if you just type Elf Investments and pinball into YouTube you will find him very easily but more importantly go type up investments and market manipulation and you'll see that he talks about it very often and when it's allowed when it's not when it's okay what I mean right now you can go buy you could go buy and it'd probably be a smart thing to do you could go buy every Elowin pro in the United States that is under 6,000 or 6,500 or whatever 80% of them are you could go buy them all you could put them in a warehouse make sure it's climate controlled make sure they're played every once in a while make sure they're maintained or better yet, just go like put them on location and make money. And almost all of them would be worth more money in three to five years if they weren't beaten down too bad by, you know, what they were looking like. So anyways, let's get back into this though. Mike's pinball has still not responded. So I said, if it's not delivered by April 1st, my favorite day of the year here in Homesteadia, which is April Fool's, by the way, I will be unfathomably upset and I would consider it a Freddy nightmare. Oh yeah, so in Loser Kid, Freddy's Nightmare Pinball, whatever, that's why I thought of that. I guess it's doing really well. I don't care what the market says. It's a horrible game. It looks horrible. It plays horrible. It's not fun code. The multiballs are easier than a JJP, and that's all I'll say. All right. I will not have cell phone access again until lunch. Thanks. I'm trying to bait him into responding and wasting more of his time. And then I waited a bit, and I said, Please, packaged my gorgeous Georgist, Ryan Reynolds, pin very, all capitals, well and warm. We don't want any shrinkage. I said, plus, due to Ryan Reynolds' Robert Blakeman Lively sit, which I think I meant to say something with an H in it that I don't want to say on today's show, he is a bit of a little bitch because Rape Meow, and I had that in my head from Kerry Hardy. Kerry Hardy, sorry I stole your little bit here, but I think, again, Kerry Hardy is not a little bitch because I know that if he had a problem with me doing this content, talking about the content he talked about yesterday, he would private message me and not ban me from a forum. Hopefully I don't get banned. I'm on Pinball Enthusiast 2.0 now, or at least I applied. So if you don't see me on the regular Pinball Enthusiast, I guess that's because I probably got banned there as well. I was a rising star on there, and now I get banned. Great. Great. Plus, due to the Ryan Reynolds, Robert Blakeman Lively stuff, I'll just say, he is a bit of a little bitch right now. Rape meow. so may need some Canada goose down to prevent the flux capacitor from freezing. Oh, and I'll be sure to give you a shout out on the world's 20th favorite pin pod once I get it and can check how friggin' worn down that shooter McGavin rod is. Did you get the money? I hope you're not scamming me. And then they went offline and they've never written back. So please, guys, if you go to Mike's Pinball Machines Facebook page and you send them a friend request and you want to F with them, Don't give them any of your real information. Okay? Now, sing it with me, guys. Bonne fête à toi. Bonne fête à toi. Bonne fête à toi. Bonne fête à toi. Bonne fête à toi. Pardon. All right. That was in French. Let's do it. Let's Do It For Dawn in Dutch. I don't think I've sang in Dutch since Mrs. Pin's birthday or something a couple years ago. Lanzons a leva, lanzons a leva, lanzons a leva inza gloria, inza gloria. Oh my God, my son Hayden's sleeping. Oh God, and the computer's dying. Two catastrophes at once. Inza gloria. Hip hip hooray. We'll just imagine hip hip hooray in Dutch. but yeah hip hip hooray i wonder how don is he looks like at least five to ten years younger than me and i know he's like newer in his career he did mention on my show he is a manager at the local burger king there so i do wonder though is he also a scammer like how can he afford to have bought and sold 18 new pinball machines his first year in pinball all new in box like how could he have done that if he's just the manager it seems weird to me but he is being honest he does say oh yeah, I got to work the night shift. He's also, didn't he travel to Australia like a month ago and then go to the beach like two weeks ago? Wasn't he in Houston like a week ago for the Twippies? This, this guy travels a lot. I feel like maybe Don, I feel like you were being, I don't want to call you out on a show. I already thanked you for your hilarious skit, but I feel like maybe, were you trolling me when you said you were the manager of the Burger King or maybe the manager of the Burger King? Maybe it's like the biggest Burger King and I don't know where Don lives, I thought, like near Wisconsin. He almost came and visited me. Why didn't you visit me, Don? I drove 18 hours. You couldn't drive one hour to Wisconsin to hang out with me. Come on, my guy. Anyways, seems like you'll drive everywhere else for everyone else. Everyone but Orby, right? Anyways, I've got Don on a special project with his 3D printer. We'll talk about that later. I've gone over an hour. I've gone way too long. Thank you to Kerry Hardy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I stole your story about the scammers and kind of copied it. I don't want to touch the pinball enthusiast thing. I don't want to. I'll curb that enthusiasm for later. Okay. I don't want to touch that with my four inch pole. All right. I wouldn't do that. Cold anyways. And I was talking about a round, not length, but it doesn't matter. We tried to keep this. We tried to keep this. This isn't safe for work. It isn't. But I tried to keep it with less swear words which maybe it's not safe for work but maybe it's safe for like driving around or maybe it's safe for like probably not public transit I don't know who cares my show doesn't have to be safe I'm the 20th favorite that's good enough for me anyways pinball nerds I love you I'm in love with you go play some pinball um February 22nd I'm gonna try my little heart out I do have a collectible show in Moncton but it's a sports cards one I don't do as well at that one I'm gonna try to keep my head down and just deke out of the show at 1130, about an hour early. Honestly, no one shows up much past noon at that particular show. Oh, and if you're listening, one of my newer listeners, who I've been friends with for like five years, Rod, but is now listening to the show, if you're listening there in Moncton, Rod, you tried to come to the other collectible show where they nail you for five bucks. That one's mostly Pokemon. I actually think you'd enjoy the sports cards and comic book show more anyways. So that one is at the Knights of Columbus on February 22nd. come in the morning because I'm going to be out of there by 11 or 11 30. Hopefully Owen is coming with me to play in his first pinball tournament in like four years, five, six years. I don't know. Family Day many years ago, Julie Dorser's obviously friend of the show, Mike Dimas, Pinball Shenanigans friend of the show, and also Sean Russell friend of the show all finished in the top four with Owen. Wait, maybe Owen took Mike Dimas out, but Owen got third on Family Day of like 20 people and he was what like 12 so how many years ago is that he's 17 now that was five six years ago maybe he was 11 so like yeah six years ago owen has not played a pinball tournament six years he's played in a couple home tournaments here with us but he's just been very busy with sports since he got here and his girlfriend and his side hustles and he's he's also a shoe flipper like what i do with cards he does with shoes so it's kind of cool but owen will be with me at that show but he's also more importantly coming to flippins so if you live on the east coast of canada i'm looking at you david dennis why didn't you go to that pinball tournament five minutes from your house come on uh no i'm just kidding i'm sure david dennis was uh very busy i know he's super busy and he travels a lot probably david dennis might be the only canadian that travels almost as much as don of don's pinball podcast so but david dennis get your butt out there i'm talking to you doug parsons from halifax i know you said you might come you better get your butt down there. All the Monctonites. What do you call someone from Moncton? Someone from Halifax is called a Haligonian. What's someone from Moncton called? I have no flipping clue. But anyways, also, oh shoot, the date. The date, I better go, the Pinball Degenerate Awards. Pinball Degenerates. That's a site I'm probably not going to get kicked off of, hopefully, because, I mean, it's called Degenerates. If Cliff Albert is not getting kicked off of the Pinball Degenerates page. I probably won't because this man is the trolliest of all the trolls. He can troll better than nobody else. Oh, this should be pinned at the top or something. February 24th. Okay, it's probably, you know what, I'm probably on the wrong, I almost guarantee you I'm on the wrong page because there's probably a separate page set up just for the D-Jennies. But I'm probably going to try to have Joe on the show, okay, between now and then. And maybe it's over here in the pinned. It's in the featured. Joe's good. He knows. Featured. Oh, go listen to his new podcast. I haven't listened to his podcast. Just for me forgetting the date of the D-Jennies. I'll be back with more podcasts. I'll be back with more podcasts to announce it. Go yourself over to the Pinball Degenerates page. Ask to join respectfully. There's 2,300 RAD members over there. Oh, my God. It's still recording. What the hell? Okay, guys. I'm so sorry. Have a good day. Until next time, Pinball Nerds, remember to eat, sleep, and breathe. My computer died.
