And there he is, the man of the world. Thank you. I never feel so free I'm lost for breath When I feel so free I never feel so free Thank you. What's going on? Welcome to Thursday Night Soundcheck on Flippin' Out Pinball Streaming Network. We had some audio issues on Wednesday, so this is really just kind of a soundcheck stream to make sure our audio levels are coming in hot. We're not skipping. We're not dropping. So if anybody's in chat and can let me know if you're hearing audio, that'd be great.
3:08
Thank you. What's up, Tim? Are you recovered from Expo? I'm still hanging. Bobcatch, what's up, man? How are you? What's going on? Everybody says we're good. Good, good, good. We were good last time, and we fell behind. So I've got a little Munsters pro here that I could dabble with for a little bit.
4:19
Bill Webb is normally with me. He's going to be sticking at home. He's got the baby duties, and then Steve Beatty's out at a pinball night that I was supposed to try to get out to. Hurt my back, so I'm just going to chill out here for a little bit. But I'm hoping he might stop by on the way back.
4:36
I don't know what happened on that day. So this is what I think happened on this day. Wednesday, when I fired up the stream, or when I went to check everything, it looked like Streamlabs OBS said that there was going to be an update. So I updated Streamlabs OBS. This was right before I packed everything that's set up for the stream over at Beattie's house.

Meteorgame
Jurassic Parkgame
5:01
And then it said I had to uninstall my NVIDIA drivers, and I had to perform a fresh, clean install. And if I didn't do that, then I wasn't going to be able to go live. So long story short, instead of doing a fresh install, I just did an update. I was able to go live, but I don't think that was compatible with what I was trying to do because I needed to uninstall all those drivers and reinstall them. So I believe that's what happened on Wednesday, which was unfortunate because there was so much work that went into that. and learning experience, I suppose.
5:42
We're just going to play some background music tonight. Whatever we do with monsters, we're going to keep the audio turned down.
5:48
And as far as I know, I think Twitch will probably block the audio if you go to watch this on video on demand. That being said, I don't think you're missing anything.
6:01
Just a casual night of streaming tonight. See where the night takes us. Yes, streaming is absolutely unpredictable.
6:31
And I like to have everything planned out. I like to be able to check and double check. So I set up a duplicate account today, kind of a double account for Twitch so that I can just put this Twitch key, stream key in it, and be able to kind of watch my own channel without having to notify anybody that the channel went live. From my test today, it looks good, but you know how that goes.
6:55
It was a good episode this week. Thanks, man. It was a long episode this week. It was the longest episode we've ever done. that was not an interview or a panel discussion.
7:07
A lot went on at Expo. It was fun times. Still hanging from Expo, though. Just tired. I think it was three and a half hours of sleep both nights.
7:22
Came home Saturday night, woke up Sunday morning, He coached our Little League team to a world championship of Little League in Pony Lake 13U. So that was awesome. So then went out drinking after that.
7:38
It was a rough, rough week. Yeah, one computer with OBS and another with Streamlabs OBS. Interesting. I just have one computer that I'm using with Streamlabs OBS.
7:57
I got a secret Time to rush She said I'm looking like a bad man Who better know She said my spirit doesn't move Like it did before She said I don't look like me No more, no more I said I'm just tired She said you're just tired I said I'm gonna live on
8:27
We are streaming out of Studio C tonight, though, so it's about half done. So you'll see a little bit of a different setup, backdrop and whatnot. So out of Studio A.
8:53
Yeah, I was adjusting my bit rates. I'll get into that. If anybody cares to even listen. Hey, what's going on, Pinball Land? I'm all by myself in Studio C tonight.
9:18
I've got my flipping out T-shirt. It's my uniform now for the channel, so that's good times. Yeah, this is the new studio at about 50% completion. So as you can see from the player cam, the PinQuest cam, floor is not completed yet. I've got a wall that I need to finish there. I've got more to finish here. So kind of got front and back set up right now. So we'll see how that goes. Anyhow, as you can see, we've got Munsters Pro set up. So I figure we'll dabble with that a little bit and just kind of chill out. I know it's 9 o'clock Central Time on a Thursday. I'm not really sure how many people are watching Twitch and if they are, if they care to watch Flippin' Out. But we'll just kind of have a fun, chilled-out night here for the next, I don't know, maybe an hour or two. I think CBD is going to try to stop by, I believe, but I'm not sure.
10:08
But we will see. Thanks, everybody, for coming in. And, again, the purpose of this stream was so that we could kind of set up for Monday because I didn't want to have any issues on Monday like we had on Wednesday.
10:20
We don't want to mess with Monday Night Pinball. So cheers. Cheers to everybody in chat. I feel lonely.
10:35
You know what? My wife's like, she goes, I'm going to jump on Munsters in a second. She's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm going to go, I'm going to stream pinball.
10:43
She's like, oh, you got people coming over? I'm like, no. She's like, well, how are you going to stream pinball? I said, well, I'm going to go stream by myself. and she just gave me the look like I was crazy. So I don't think she understands. I said, listen, most streamers are streaming alone. This is kind of a different setup with us, but I think she also feels sorry for me tonight. It's the pity stream. Everybody donate one bit. I'm kidding. Let's jump on Munsters and mess with this game. I just set this up. I've got maybe three or four games on it,
11:18
and I don't know. Jerry's still out. jury is still out if you can let me know if this microphone is coming in too loud that would help me out too I don't want to be blasting anybody's ears off and yeah I have everybody to chat so thank you guys so much as Jack Danger would say I love you internet yeah let me know if this mic is if I'm blasting you. I have a tendency to talk loud, so.
11:55
And I've got the sound down on this. I think what I need to do is I need to adjust my stream delay. Well played, thanks.
12:16
I also wanted to check with, we were talking about bit rates. I've been playing with the bit rates for the stream a little bit because I'm streaming 1080p.
12:28
And I think minimum bit rates you need on Twitch for 1080p is around 4,500. So before, I think I was around 6,000, which I'm capable of handling.
12:45
But I think that that would also mean that people that were watching would have to be able to absorb the 6,000 that I'm uploading. So I turn that down. I'm at, yeah, 5,000.
12:58
I think I'm at 4,600 right now, I believe. I should switch it to 5. Guys, I'm not a streamer. I don't know the ins and outs of this, but I'm learning. and every time I fire this stream up, I learn usually about a mistake that I made, but I try not to make that same mistake again.
13:22
Okay, max 5,000. Okay. Well, like I said, I was at, I was up at like 6,000 bit rates or 6,000 bit rate.
13:31
So say, Grimmskin, thanks for the 200 bits, man. Good times. I'm trying to learn and I hope that one day I can kind of pass on my small little wealth of Twitch streaming knowledge to the next generation. Because the fact of the matter is, I'm getting old, man.
13:47
There's the new young group of people that are coming in. I think my biggest regret is that I didn't get into doing a lot of this stuff when I was a little bit younger.
14:00
It's been really rewarding and it's met a lot of awesome people. Absolutely no complaints there. All right.
14:16
Kerry Hardy, what's up, man? Hail fast. Up and down. Thanks for the four-month streak of the subs, man. I appreciate it, Kerry. It was fun seeing Kerry at Pinball Ice Ball. I didn't even know Kerry was coming until kind of the last minute because I would have had Kerry jump in on some things if he was willing. But you know what? Kerry, you were talking a lot. You were helping Penn Stadium. You, like, set up so much of that booth with Scott. I don't know how you guys did that. That was pretty nuts. So mad respect for that.
14:49
Yeah, Tim, 39 years old. That is young. I got about five years on you, buddy. All right. if you guys want to give me some uh some cues here too i can turn this music up a little bit actually
15:33
it's too loud let me know Terry's working on his next expo video. Nice. I tell you what, I admire all you guys with the video stuff. I know TNT does a lot of video stuff. Terry does a lot of video stuff.
15:48
Zach does a lot of video stuff. And it's fun to watch. I'd like to get into some video stuff, but I'm still trying to learn the audio stuff. It's just not conducive to anything great. Hey, Verto Drink.
16:06
Five months. I can't believe we've even been streaming for five months. Thank you so much, man. I love it.
16:18
This game actually, well, with the exception of my bad pinball playing, it flows pretty nice. And I'm not really paying too much of attention right now.
16:33
but I mean just kind of hitting the ramps a couple things that I'm not wild about that big dragula target's a little bit uh interesting
16:54
um let me get hermit going here multi-ball Hit the ball. I like how the multi-ball is set up here. If I can hit the ball and get it out of there.
17:19
Nope. I'm just going to let it go here in a second. See if I can sneak it in. There we go. Actually, the audio on this game is unbelievable. I'm still getting used to Dwight's code a little bit,
17:42
which the few games that I kind of put on this earlier, I was able to get into Monster Madness fairly quickly. so I'm assuming there's like a level two to Monster Madness after you reach the first level.
18:06
Again, I didn't play it a lot because I wanted to go ahead and learn the game a little bit more on stream. So I have got Raven left, which is that left ramp.
18:34
I've got to find my shots here. Sound is great. All right, good. Guys, listen, I really appreciate it. I know we didn't advertise doing a stream because it wasn't really a stream, but I did want to make sure that we weren't sloppy. That Wednesday was really frustrating, man, with that Epic Expo tailgate stream.
19:09
Loading the stream up on the tablet as I do some rowing. Because I'm fat. Hey, you know what? I'm fat too, but I'm just training and drinking beer. That's like the best thing that I can do. It's my workout.
19:21
Can we backhand that ramp? No. Horrible. I need a pin golf on this pin. So we've got the next show that's coming up, I think, is that, is it the Louisville show? And that's in like, in November, I believe.
19:47
Anybody go into that? I don't like that there's not a ball save on that stock. And I won't go into the settings to change it because I know Dwight didn't want one on there.
20:08
But it's frustrating when you get on the spin and you get two house balls. You're like, ah, fuck. I don't know why I'm having trouble with the left rants. I think it's the easiest shot in the game.
20:21
I don't think I've had enough beverages yet. Hey, what's up, Kaz? Yeah, this isn't really an official stream. This is just kind of an audio and video check so that when we stream Monday Night Pinball, On Monday, we don't run into any glitches with Twitch like we did on Wednesday for the epic tailgate stream.
20:50
Wow, I'm playing horribly. Background music is too calm. Like it's too low or the music sucks. Like there's a difference, I think.
21:03
Thanks, Kaz. You like my unfinished floor so far? It's a part in my dust stream. So that's kind of what that is.
21:29
Alright. I'm certainly not going to command the views of me actually playing pinball than just about anybody else that streams. So for anybody that's in here, thanks for stopping in and giving me feedback on audio levels and all that good stuff.
22:00
Is that too loud? It sounds like it's too loud, but it might not be. I like how spot comes out of there.
22:23
I'm draining a lot on this game. Yeah, the wall. Okay, so the wall with the wood effect. I should pull this thing out, right? I bought all this shiplap at Home Depot, and it was unfinished.
22:43
And then I bought one of those big, like, flamethrower weed torches where you just hook it up to a propane tank.
22:52
And you just, I mean, you clear a whole area. So I bought one of those. Kyle, thanks for the bits, buddy. Hey, what's up? What's up, Christopher? So I went ahead and did that to the shiplap.
23:08
And then I went back in and I put polycrylic on there to kind of protect a little bit. And I threw it up on the wall. And the whole project from start to finish probably took about eight hours. It was really easy. And I do like the look. I think it looks decent.
23:30
So if you have the means, I highly recommend doing a burnt or a torched shiplap wall. If you have the means. Yeah, so Jobber was at Expo.
24:05
Hey, what's up, Pink Quest? Expo was a lot of fun. Yeah, so again, part of my dust. This studio's not finished yet. It's about halfway, but it's serviceable for our streaming and podcast purposes, I think.
24:20
And we just needed a change of pace. We kind of outgrew that, our first studio. Steve Beattie is Studio B. in his place, if you saw it on Wednesday of last week, is ridiculous. He's got like 20 pins in that detached garage. It's incredible. I'm pretty jealous, actually.
24:58
I could not restart that Raven. Get Herman going. Steve Beattie's calling. I have no way to answer the phone.
25:19
He's going to have to call into the flipping out hotline. he's probably calling me to tell me that they're having problems listening to the stream that would be pretty upsetting I suppose after this ball, I'll grab that phone. Or he's out front.
25:54
This could be it too. That music just seems really, really loud. Yeah, no, I'm not singing. Not singing. Let's see what the dumpster fire. So what pin are we going to stream next week? Actually, we've got a pretty interesting pin lineup coming up. And Elvira's in the mix.
26:25
Is the Skype? Is the hotline a Skype line? No, it is not. It's a Google voice line. Hold on one second. Let me get a hold of this. Let's do a live call with Steve Reedy here.
26:53
I suppose I could have just called him on the line. Yeah, bud. Hey, what's up? You coming by? I will if you're rocking. Yeah, I just fired the stream up, and I'm not nearly as entertaining by myself. So if you want to come on out, dude, I can just open the door. Just let yourself in, man.
27:20
Okay, cool. I'll be there in like 10. I'm kind of by the Walmart. I'll go. 10 minutes? take your time to get here in like 11 minutes ok alright I'll unlock the front door for you alright right on man I'll see you out there yep good times thanks bye wow Steve Beatty's coming actually this is pretty rude because I have to leave the stream and I have to unlock the front door so if a young Jack Danger. Jack Danger is younger than me.
28:07
I am not a young Jack Danger. He's got youth on his side. I've got partners on my side. That's it. I've got Bill and I've got Steve and I've got everybody else. So give me one second. I wish I had like a I'll be back in two minutes. But I will be back in two minutes. Like Jack Danger would do.
28:56
Sorry about that. Wookiee Jeeps digging Studio C. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Studio C is 50% done. Oh, and in all honesty, guys, check this out. So most of the studio stuff that we've been doing in here has literally come from Bits donations. So with the Bits donations, I'm not trying to ask for more donations. We're in good shape here. But I'm saying from what everybody was able to kind of contribute when we started, it's gone back into the stream. And we've got two of these wireless streaming rigs that are here. and these are populated. This one's populated here and we've got a third one that we built. That's at Bill Webb's house.
30:00
So Bill Webb will, because Bill's on lockdown right now with the baby, Bill will be able to kind of jump into his basement because Bill's got a nice setup. He's got Promise Land 84. Thank you. Totally appreciate it.
30:15
Bill will be able to just kind of fire a stream up at his place and I'll have a rig here. Steve Beatty's going to have a rig, so we don't all have to converge to get streams going. What I think will probably end up happening is, like Monday nights, we'll be doing Monday Night Pinball, right? But then alternate nights, on nights that we're streaming things that Flippin' Out Pinball doesn't have for sale, we're going to stream those on Special Winlet, because we do have a Twitch channel, and it's Special Winlet Pinball, I think. We started it out, and it went dormant because we started streaming on Flippin' Out. So we'll have both going, but I don't want it to be confusing for what it's worth.
31:05
Forgot I was playing pinball. My bad. I've gotten to the point in my pinball career here that it's like more difficult for me to play pinball if I haven't had a couple drinks. like I feel very early on a lot of things here I need to slow the reaction times I'm not condoning drinking for those that don't consume alcohol but I am kind of used to having a couple drinks speaking of drinks a lot of drinks at Expo promise I need you for it thanks again man too much work carry the rig around. Yeah, you know what? The rig that we had here has so many freaking miles of, all right, hold on, because the grandpa scoop's upsetting me because I'm talking. I'm going to just nail it real quick. All right. The rigs that I had, I mean, had miles and miles of cable, like 20-foot cable, so you would have, you know, 18 cables at 20 feet, and they're all over the place. It's like a rat's nest. I hated it.
32:46
Do I find that it played better with or without sound? I think I definitely play better with sound. But tonight, because we're doing the sound check, we never play any music on the stream because we want it to be available for like a video on demand. So if we were going to stream a pin, Zach wants to be able to have it on flipping out so that customer can jump on there and learn about a game. When we play music like this, it's all licensed. So Twitch will allow you to stream it live, but it normally gets muted out when you go back and you look at the video on demand.
33:17
The other thing is I could go ahead and I could record this, and I could upload it to YouTube, and it's going to be the same thing. Their filters are going to get that stuff. But, yeah, no, I would absolutely prefer to play with the audio, I think. monster madness is lit all right uh-oh all right i do i do benefit from the call outs too a lot of times because i'm not very rule-oriented when it comes to all these games. So any type of an audio cue for me is huge. I know, like, on Star Wars, the audio cue is huge with the multipliers. I mean, things like that would be very hard to do without audio. That's why even, like, the competition players, when they play with their noise-canceling headphones, wow, I'm getting killed. I always wonder how they do that because they're missing audio cues, but those guys are animals. Like, they can play pinball in their sleep, and they know all the rules, and they don't need to worry about it.
34:52
So I'm trying to get Lily here. Because in Monster Madness, you have to hit these shots in sequence before the timer runs out.
35:00
At least that's the way I'm understanding it. Now I've got Spot that I have to kind of complete. The one thing I don't understand at all in this game is how the jackpots work.
35:16
Like that thing's flashing. I'm supposed to hit it for charges, but then I'm supposed to not collect it here. I'm supposed to cancel it. I'm supposed to carry it over. I have no clue. No idea what it is.
35:32
Tim, you miss the monsters in the showroom? It's a pretty pinball machine, man. It shoots really nicely. It's a pretty pinball machine. and I do like Jerry Thompson's audio package on this pin too yeah competition folks are in another world like literally like they're in another world hey make sure you contact Flippin' Out Pinball and I'll even get your Flippin' Out Pinball t-shirt this is our streaming uniform now good times hey high score one what's a good score on monsters actually I don't even know I'm imagining people are blowing this thing up for like the billions and billions of points this obviously hasn't been played very much so good times Herman Champion the one thing that is different too though is like if I'm playing here by myself it's nice to be able to get in a rhythm with your turns because if you drain a ball quick or even if you have a long ball you're not waiting for three other guys to go before you got your turn back. So I do kind of like that. Debating starting another game or just waiting for BD to get here. Yeah, no, the monsters is not mine. It's, it's flipping out pinballs. So what I did is I sold, I sold my collection as I was transitioning everything upstairs because I was turning it over anyway. So right now the only thing that I kept is the, uh, the meteor though. and it's just roached because the meteor is getting the re-thing to the cherry atomic.
37:30
So then what will happen is when I finish this Studio C, because that's all the mini-split that's getting installed for heating and air. I'm in Chicago, so Chicago winters can be negative 20, negative 30. And then in the summers, you can be in the hundreds with 100% humidity. So my big concern with doing a garage studio slash game room is I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to have temperature fluctuations that could work play fields or back glasses, you know, that were screened from the back on older pins or in the front. I didn't want to have to deal with that. So what I will end up doing is going into November, I'll start buying back some pins.
38:11
And from what we've played recently, I really, really like – I think Jurassic Park is a winner. That's a game I'd like to get. because I always have arcades coming in and out of here. I'm actually doing a custom NES arcade that's in a Mario wide-body cabinet, and it'll just play NES games, two-player, two-button.
38:35
Yeah, the wife is thrilled. I'll be scraping windshields. Well, this is the thing. My wife hasn't parked a car in here in about 13 years.
38:42
We moved here. We built this house 17 years ago. She parked in the garage for four years, And then I got into arcades first, so it was a lot of buying and selling and flipping and then refurbishing and then restoring and all that kind of stuff. So that's kind of where that went. So she's used to not parking here. I'm her automatic start. I go out and scrape. I forgot what I was talking about.
39:10
But anyways. Yeah, Nintendo's my sweet spot. Wow. See, that sucks that there's no ball save for that.
39:25
But you know what my ball save is when I do that on ball one? Holding the start button down. Oh, new game.
39:35
And then if it happens again, I just walk away from the game normally. yeah so the i had a uh i i would i wouldn't want to go ahead and and take an original and convert it to like a nintendo nes cab so i had a uh a mario wide body cabinet cnc'd and built from a cabinet company so that gets delivered tomorrow and then at that point i can buy the marquee bracket, the retainer for the bezel.
40:10
I've got a metal control panel for it. And then I've got some custom artwork that I designed for an NES cab.
40:20
What mode am I in? Oh, Grandpa. And then I'm going to put like a 27 or 28-inch widescreen LCD in there because it's not anything that needs a CRT at that point. I don't care about keeping it original as far as a TV in there. So it'll just be like a fun thing to have, multi-cade for NES stuff. And then I'll go in, probably do a Raspberry Pi setup for that.
40:52
But I kind of like that custom stuff. I built a couple custom stand-up Vuelix tabs that take 32-inch LCD monitors, and those are awesome.
41:05
So it's the arcade side of things that really fund my pinball stuff. Because what happens normally is I'll do some custom requests, and then I'll sell those. I'll buy a pinball machine in the $2,000 range, and I'll trade up and trade up and trade up until I get something that I want to hang on to, and then that's kind of where it goes.
41:28
And the hobby, that's part of the fun for me, is I like to chase. I like searching for pins that I been looking for I like finding a good deal without taking advantage of somebody And then I like to be able to go in and refurbish and shop out and all that kind of stuff Is B here?
41:51
Where's B? I got spot going. What's more important, letting Steve in or hitting spot? I guess I can let him in now.
42:04
No, no, no. Skip Daddy, if you're talking about a heart attack, I would not take an original cab and bastardize it, if that's what you were thinking.
42:26
Yeah, a play choice is a great... See, I like having all 700 or so ROMs for myself to kind of play instead of having to swap out a play choice. And when I have something like that too, input lag isn't too horrible. They've got like the zero input encoders that actually work really, really well. It's not like it used to.
42:48
It's not like it used to be. If there is input lag, I don't notice it enough. Let me check to see what stuff...
43:04
What's up? Reinforcement. What's going on, man? Have a ride. Hey, hey. We're pinball streaming, talking arcade talk. Nice. What's up, man? Good. How are you? Good, good, good.
43:25
It's nice and bright in here, huh? It's a little bit brighter, yeah. It's not used to being so bright.
43:34
Oh, I don't know what that is. What's that? Oh, you know what I love? Oh, my God. I was grabbing the Elysium.
43:44
Oh, yeah, don't bring the Elysium. If anybody has, Elysium is like an IPA. You can get it in a bottle or a can, but every time we get it in a can, when you open it, it explodes. I don't understand why. It's a costume special.
44:01
Ready to rock out like two games of Munsters? Hold on, let me get your audio hot there. Right? Give me a test there. No. There we go. Hey. Oh, that chat's so far, Cain. I'll wheel the TV over here. It is pretty hard.
44:25
Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Even worse. It's Steve. Oh, hey. I swear to God, these have been. Hey!
44:38
Oh, my God. You want to grab me a PT? Yeah, that was like half a can. Ah, Steve cut off. So Ken experienced that last night also.
44:50
Something's up with him. Are you all right? Oh, I'm great. Good. No, that was... I was just talking about the exploding beers and on cue. Yeah, this is the session, too. that's never done that. This is a different case too.
45:09
We know what we should do with monsters is if you don't start monster madness you should have to do a shot of Malora.
45:28
Yeah. Good thing the new floor is not in. Dude, like, literally, you were here for like about 70 seconds. I don't know what it is. You exploded a beer all over the place. I love it. The Costco 24-packs, it's like playing landmine. Did you get that at Costco because maybe they have all the exploding beers? That's what I'm thinking. I think it's a clearance. Yeah. You need help?
46:07
Are we the sloppiest stream on the internet, probably? I would assume. It's only 9.30. I'm getting like two drinks.
46:18
Gosh darn it. I would rather have it in your mouth. Hey, now. All right. Oh, I zigged when I should have dragged that one.
46:41
Just try to come hang out, man. Making a mess. I think you're good. That's a trusted ballast point. Does that work? So, yeah, Ken knows Open.
46:57
I thought it was a different beer last night. I don't know what's up with that, man. Not cool. Are we going to go to Colorado's Expo this year? No, I can't.
47:08
I don't have the time. And these Expo trips. I mean, TPF is going to run $1,500. Oh, yeah. At that time, airfare, hotel. Not free. Food, drinks.
47:30
Even Expo, like, I paid for my hotel there. I didn't, and I live close. But the hotel for three nights was like $570.
47:42
There was that. My ticket was conned, so that was good. Get me a little chat going here. I have no local chat. I can pull the TV up. I just have it next to the pen. Yeah, but then you're missing the chat on the pen. Yeah. You got a little chat set up there?
48:09
Yeah, it's coming. So how do you like it with music playing instead of the pen music? It's a little weird when you're playing. I like it. Because it's like... Is the pin off? There's no audio on the pin, no. Cool. I mean, nothing's worse than hybriding pin audio with... That's a good point. Well, I guess for streaming it would probably be confusing. Sure. All right, let's see.
48:31
Yeah, the Hotel Expo was outrageous. It was outrageous for the pricing. I thought it was a little expensive, but I think there might be a little bit of taking advantage of the situation there. They know pinball's coming.
48:42
Oh, yeah, Tim and Tom stayed at the Red Roof. That's the thing, Christopher, says I don't pay $150 to sleep.
48:51
Hey, good point. For the three and a half hours every night, we could have just crashed in our cars. Like, seriously, I could have just zonked out. I was so tired.
49:04
Tom and I stayed at the shitty Red Roof, says Tim. Hey, the Red Roof, I bet you it was cheaper than $570 for three nights. you can turn the gameplay off on Munsters too hey good times we can charge you an Airbnb nice yeah you know some people got good deals at Expo though if you called like a month in advance no because I reserved like three months in advance Yeah, but I think even closer to the show. Right, when they had availability. When they're like, oh, we're not going to sell out. Outer Spacey Tracy's in chat. So I had the pleasure of meeting Outer Spacey Tracy at Expo, so I'm glad she's decided to continue to associate herself with me. So thanks for coming in, Outer Spacey Tracy. Proud Munsters moments at Expo. Combo champ on a turning table and put a grand champ on the floor table, even with tilting my bonus. Nicely done. I don't mean to, you know, one-up you there, Outer Spacey Tracy. But don't think for a second I just took high score number one on a barely played Munsters at 77 million.
50:19
And I was a Herman champ or something for like 22. No, I'm kidding. I know that's not good. But I'll take it.
50:28
All those shitty music on Thursday night made me want to punch somebody. I hope you're not referring to this Thursday night, Christopher. Are your cuss words getting bleeped out like mine are?
50:44
Do I have mine on like EG settings? I have no idea. It's probably a setting that I have in here. She's like, y'all haven't F'd up yet. I'm still following. So that's good. Hey, thanks Outer Spacey Tracy.
50:58
Good times. 200 mil, yeah, that's a good score. You want to play some monsters? uh yeah i'll play some have you played this pin a little bit like a long time ago when i came out yeah i don't know much about it yeah shots are still the same so yeah just shoot well yeah i'll hit the you want to light it's so you'll learn the game in two games it's you're lighting each character by hitting those shots and then uh when all the when when you hit all the characters lit all the inserts, Monster Madness is lit. You hit the scoop and you start Monster Madness. You can usually do it by ball, too. All right. You want to go first or second? Yeah, we'll start it up. All right, go ahead.
51:45
Expo was so much fun. Yeah, Kaz, it was fun. Characters? Kaz is a lot more of a friendly guy than I thought. He seems very business-oriented on his Special Olympics Football Podcast, American Football Correspondence segment. He's a happy-go-lucky guy. No sound. Yeah. I know, right? It's like it's broken. Yeah, right.
52:10
Hey, operator. Yeah, cancel the jackpots. I don't even. Yeah, how do you cancel? I bet you there's probably. I think you hold down the button. Button, yeah. But I think there's probably like an audio cue that we're never going to hear.
52:28
Yeah, Jabber St. Cosden himself hung at American. And they saw the next game from American Pinball. Pretty impressive. Cheers to that. Cheers to everybody in chat. I'm a little bit stunned that we have as many people in here as we do right now on a Thursday night at a quarter to ten. Is everybody off work tomorrow or what's going on?
52:51
Don't break the wireless rig. Isn't it nice, the cable management? I mean, I just need some ties, but it's so much more clean.
53:03
Yeah, because someone's going to kill themselves. But once I get the wireless transmitters set up and then the receivers over here, boom, like all this gets eliminated too. I'm pretty excited. And thank you, Twitch, because of your efforts, we're able to upgrade this stuff. So thank you. So, yeah, this light wasn't on the other night. Is that going to be a thing? I don't know. I mean, it's just...
53:32
Oh, yeah, that's dark. Because the mood changes completely with, you know... But for streaming purposes.
53:50
that American Pinball showed the next game. They did not show their next game at Expo. But they did show their next game to Ryan Cosner.
54:04
And I saw a picture of it. That's right. Oh, you know who I talked to today? I talked to Dan from American Pinball. Dan, the world's strongest marketing manager for American Pinball. Stands off. So he invited us out. That sucks.
54:25
Well, you know, I think it's a great garage light. He invited us out to American Pinball because I guess they have some huge update that they did with improved animations. So I told him that I didn't know if it made sense to go to American Pinball to kind of cover that from a podcast standpoint, but I offered to stream Oktoberfest with the new updates and new animations. So there's a chance we might sneak an Oktoberfest stream here in October, as ironic as that sounds.
54:57
Let's talk about the streaming schedule. We've got a nice surprise coming in a week from Monday. Monday's pin is still undetermined. It may be Munsters, but it's holding out on something. But a week from Monday, we've got a pin that nobody's streamed yet, which I think is going to be awesome. And then I'm hoping the following week we have an Elvira in here.
55:22
A little House of Horrors. Sneeze if it's a licensed theme. I don't know what that was. Hey, now. Ken, you and Steve should go stop by. They were really nice. I've been to American Pinball before. They're always nice over there.
55:43
Monday is back doing the helicopter for four hours. Could be. I like the updated music on Oktoberfest. More traditional and fun to me. Yeah, see, like, we opened our streaming with Oktoberfest on Flippin' Out. That was the first thing that we streamed. It's been like five or six months. I'd like to see how the game is. It's not Pony Factory, I'll tell you that.
56:01
It is not. It is not Pony Factory. Showgirls. Yikes. So 1998. So there's exciting news there.
56:18
Let's see if I can get a little... Oh, yeah. What else is going on? There was something else that was pretty major that I wanted to talk about.
56:32
Oh, oh, oh. And then Stern has another release in their pocket, man. And I'm convinced that we see this before the end of the year. There's no way that they show all their cars or end their hand on the beginning of October for 2019. There's just no way.
56:57
What the heck is that, man? Streaming Thunderbirds. I thought Monster Madness was like the easiest shit. I got rattled when somebody spilled a beer all over my... I do, so did I. I was like, oh, uh-oh. Here, let me hand you the next one. Let it sit out for 20 minutes. No, but you did the same thing with the Elysium. Like, it was sitting for like two hours, and we opened it and it exploded all over the place, though. Where are you buying your beers, man? Costco. Maybe you've got to stop buying beers at Costco. Because isn't that where the overflow ends up going, usually, or no?
57:32
Oh, come on, TMNT. says PennDuby23 looking for some teenage Newton's Turtles. It's not a sizzle.
57:48
And it's not You know, the way we play, we might want to move the table closer to the game. I'm getting my steps in though. Yeah, right. Let me get my Fitbit going here.
58:04
That's a cool setup out here, though, man. I'm digging it. Ooh, how about this? No music. No pinball noise. I wish you could backhand that ramp, or maybe you can, and I'm just not able to do it.
58:34
I'm like scared to open my next beer because I need one because half it made it to the floor. Ooh, when in doubt.
58:56
Bon and David out. I don't know. You know what? I think I was supposed to cancel the jackpot. I have no freaking clue what is going on with the jackpot stand. I'm not comprehending it.
59:39
But I know that's going to be key to scoring. Sure. Oh, hey. It is what it is. This is impromptu stream.
59:47
These are all the late night Twitch guys and gals. I like it. Yeah. This is like the true after hours.
59:54
Over some of your Expo highlights. Oh. Expo highlights. Shoot again. Oh, that's right. Outer Spacey Tracy, let me ask you this. Have you ever listened to the podcast that we host? It's called Special When Lit Pinball Podcast. Because we literally just uploaded a show that was two hours long that talked about a lot of our expo highlights. That being said, I'm happy to discuss them here. Sorry about that. This is a long podcast.
60:22
It was fun, though. Recap. A bunch of shout-outs. The way that it works, myself and Bill Webb, he's my normal co-host on Special When Lit. He just, him and his wife had a baby, so Steve co-hosted the show with me last week.
60:39
Steve's been on the show before. And we just talked about Expo, from what we can remember. Yeah, I might have had some days mixed up there, some details mixed up. But, man, what a good Expo.
60:52
What a good Expo. All right. Dino's telling us how the multipliers work. Well, we better write it down because I'm not going to remember it.
61:22
No, Crystal was on the Slapstick Pinball Podcast with Jason Fowler and Matt Kanan. Oh, yeah, that was good. Head Boss Hong's like, no way. That was great. Another Thursday night drink fest. Yeah, we already got a half a bottle of the Lord in us, so. Woo!
61:41
I'm kidding. The new studio. Yeah, we're in Studio C upstairs in the garage. Yeah, well, it's unfinished Studio C. Unfinished Studio C. Looking good, though. Although, Meanie Crystal Gemnick was pretty fun. And she used to be local because she was like a tech or elite tech at Logan Arcade. Crystal was. I didn't know Crystal then. So the first time I met Crystal was at Expo this year. And she had since already relocated to Texas where Marco's specialty is. And she's doing stuff for them there.
62:14
Yeah, good times. Yeah. I always get you guys mixed stuff, Star. It's a very common thing. I get e-mail for Slap Save in our stuff all the time. And I think they get our e-mails too. So let me bring everybody up to speed on how this works. This will take 60 seconds. Ken Cromwell and Bill Webb, Special Unlit Pinball Podcast. I'm Ken Cromwell. Bill Webb's not here. We've been doing Special Unlit since July of last year, so a year and a few months. Jason Fowler and Matt Kanin are out of St. Louis, and they do Slapstay's Pinball Podcast.
62:55
I don't know. Something happened because you were player one, right? Oh, that's a good point. I have no idea what happened.
63:08
Steve's a great addition. Absolutely he is. So Steve's getting transitioned in. It's good times. In the case of deafness. No, it is confusing because the truth be told, there's like 30 pinball podcasts at least. Oh, yeah. And there's another one coming out every week. Yeah, every couple weeks there's another offering. PenQuestNeil says, each time you complete a mode, it activates the jackpot. Okay. To collect the jackpot, you hit it in that dumb impossible left dragula shot. Okay. I don't like it already. That's awesome. That's the quote. It should be on the rule card, right? To collect the jackpot, you hit it in that dumb impossible left dragula shot. That's awesome. On the bottom of the screen, it'll show how many jackpots you have ready to collect. And if you hit it into the Dragula and you see the jackpot animation,
63:58
you can hold down the start button to cancel until you have at least three jackpots filled up. So, yeah, the start button or the action button? Action button. So how do you know how many jackpots you have built up? So you don't want to collect jackpots. I thought you were trying to collect jackpots the whole game and then cash them out like in Monster Madness. You're kind of waiting.
64:21
Steve, the bead man, beady. The bead man. All right. Right. So now this is where it gets ultra confusing. Almost as confusing as Zach's whole deal. We stream under Flippin' Out Pinball because we started our special Wendlandt streaming channel, and we did the Jersey Jack game number three reveal tailgate stream, and that was awesome.
64:47
And then Zach approached me, and he said, hey, do you know anybody that would want to stream for Flippin' Out?
64:53
And I'm like, I have no idea. I don't know. But this is what he said. He said, if you know somebody that wants to stream under Flippin' Out Pinball, when every pin that comes out, I'll ship it to their house. They have to be able to stream and know how to do all that. And then when another game comes out, we'll rotate the old pin out. And I was like, wow, that's pretty awesome. I'm like, let me think of somebody because I'm sure somebody would want to do that. Hang on a minute. And then I started thinking, yeah, wait a second. I would like to do that. So I talked to Bill Webb, my podcast partner, and I'm like, we have Special Unlit, our Special Unlit Twitch channel. Yeah. And then I hopped in a couple weeks later. Yeah, and then we brought BD on board, and we've been the three amigos now. So we threw Monday Nights under Monday Night Pinball, and some of you might recognize Monday Night Pinball from this.
65:51
Well, it's Monday night The week has begun I turn on switch First I'm still in my bus The preacher's over my top I'm in my dream Ken, Bill, and Brady They can tell us the truth I'm from Chicago We're just a big fly Monday night pinball's Coming on tonight.
66:23
Are you ready for the Timber? A Monday night party. It's the midnight. I'm about to get the truth. I'm starting off. Loving Timber, bro. I don't want to be right. All my mountain friends are here for Monday night. So was that audio muted for that Monday Night Pinball?
66:52
Because this is literally we're testing everything right now. Oh, no. Thanks, Outer Spacey Tracy. If it was muted, let me know because there's audio there. And this is why we're testing everything right now. We're making sure everything works. Did you hear it? Like we heard it.
67:11
Okay, so Kaz heard it. Could we hear the blatant ripoff? We can hear the blatant ripoff. Obviously it's a blatant ripoff. I don't think people understand what a parody is. A parody is... Parody's flying over everybody's head lately. It's something that's already been done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going past.
67:30
Play it again? Play it again, anybody? Unfortunately, no. It was not murder. Can't tell, play it again. It was muted? Was not muted.
67:41
No, it was not muted. It was not murder. I hope we didn't murder anybody with that. That'll get you in trouble one day. You know who murdered it? Zach murdered it on that opening. Hell yeah. Okay, so to clear this up, could anybody hear the audio?
67:59
The Monday Night Pinball theme music. Was that something? I'm dumb so I don't get it. You're not dumb, Skip Natty.
68:07
Okay, so we stream pinball on Mondays. and so we do Monday Night Pinball. So we absolutely just kind of do the parody because as we're streaming Pinball, like Monday Night Pinball is going on. It's not about being stupid or anything, but it's just like you're kind of pointing out the obvious that it's a blatant ripoff because it's supposed to be a blatant ripoff. Like that's, you know what I mean? That's kind of the thing. So I don't know. Maybe we're not doing a good enough job explaining what's going on there.
68:38
But I appreciate all the feedback. I heard nothing. I think he put his shit on mute. Yeah, I heard the audio.
68:50
Oh, Skip Natty, you're killing me, man. You're making me nervous. You're always here. I don't want to upset you. Please don't get mad.
68:59
Okay, but I'm still not understanding if that was muted or not. No, I think we're good. We had like eight out of ten say they had audio. Can you hear this?
69:18
I think it was muted. It said Dirty Toes. Dirty Toes is here. What's up, man? I don't trust anybody in chat at this point.
69:29
Oh, this is the Thursday crowd. I know. The brutal Thursday crowd. All right, good. What else can we test here? Let's test this. I want to make sure this is working for Monday. You ready? Now, we usually get pin-quick. You know what? The way the camera's positioned, it makes me look like I'm shorter than you. I need to be up here. I need like a phone book or something.
69:50
I need to reposition that. Let me just one foot up here. We murder beasts, that is out of speech. Give me those paper towels. I'm going to sit on top of them. Yeah, okay. So you heard the Unsolved Mysteries.
70:03
All kidding aside, could you hear the Monday Night Pinball promo? Because if it's not, I have to go back in and I've got to figure out why that's not working. Because that's vital.
70:12
This is the test stream. But what we normally do, too, is when we play Monday Night Pinball, we get what promo?
70:28
Thanks, Tim. I think somebody needs to open up a beer and spill it all over the place. Skip Natty's Boston Pinball. I think any beer that I have in my cooler would probably settle there. All right, so check this out.
70:41
So for those of you that are new, on Mondays, PinQuest sponsors the channel, right? So we get these PinQuests, and every week we get five PinQuests. And if we achieve the quest, PinQuest donates some bits. So I'm going to test the opening here for the PinQuest challenges.
71:04
All right, so that's the pin quest challenges. Were we able to see that graphic? Pin quest is the best. I saw it.
71:15
Looked good. Okay, so good. So you're seeing this on your, because you're kind of redoing, you're seeing this on your side. All right. Yeah, Courtney, man, it's been a while, buddy.
71:27
All right. Get those umbrellas. Come on by. Yeah. What graphic? Where's the fan button? Skip Natty. Oh, my God. The band hammer. You just don't understand because Skip Natty, this is what happened. On Wednesday, we had audio, video, sync issues, and literally half the people had the issues. The other half didn't, and I was going nuts. I know. So that's why I – this is the whole reason I launched this stream was to make sure that – Did you redo your drivers? Yes, I redid everything. But, like, I get stressed out now because Skip Natty's like, I don't hear it. But I don't know if he's serious or not. He's not serious. I don't know if he's not. Take your sleeves off, Kerry. I don't know. Hello and goodbye, buddy. Some fancy production you all got. Thanks, Otter Spacey Tracy. Hey, you got to come into Chicago and stream with us. That'd be fun.
72:14
Okay. Thank you, Pinquest. Looks and sounds good. Perfect. Take it easy, says Kerry Hardy. You are not going nuts. You are already nuts. That's actually true. Good times. Oh, you know what else I got? Check this out. Oh, yeah. We're not on air yet. Wait, wait, wait.
72:33
A little on the air sign. I kept it off because it looked like it was sitting on top of my head. I have to reposition it. There's going to be a big monitor that's going to be right here, like a big 65-inch monitor here. Yeah, what are you going to put on that monitor? I don't know. And then this table is getting replaced because we have a big, long 12-foot table that I'm building. The bar. That we'll be able to have, you know, have like five or six or seven seats and mics. Yep, yep. But I need a wide-angle lens because I can't do all this with this camcorder.
73:07
Let's go, all right? Little pieces. It's looking good out here, man. I like the vibe. You guys need to learn your Twitch global emotes to interpret sarcasm. Yeah, dude, I have no idea what that is.
73:20
So are we going to be an indesk? No, we're not. I'm sorry. I wish that we were. A big monitor with a picture of your face. Yeah, we would need an 85-inch for that one, Jabber. Hey, you.
73:33
Press start. You want to play? Yeah. Start it up. I'll go first? Yeah. All right. That's good. That's right. So Otter Spacey Tracy did commentary for semis. She's on stream for the women's finals and played some good games. Yeah, that's awesome. On TurboGrafx. Oh, she streamed with Ryan Kuiper. Nicely done. I'll be back.
73:56
I'm here. Drinking beer. I tried to drink a beer. Now my hands are all sticky. The floor is sticky. The table is sticky. There's like flies and maggots in here that just appear. I have to get some water out of here, man. I'm sorry. I don't know what's – you're right. I bought some like exploding beers.
74:15
That's two different brands of exploding beers. It is, but it's the same taste. I'm wondering if it's the purchaser. It's a multi-pack. And not the beer.
74:27
The bleep of the murder west. See, I need to try, like, wire, wire, wire. Shed hole? Maybe one of those sheds? I'm still early on my movements, man. It's like I'm playing with the leg.
74:43
Yeah, no, I didn't see any meter. You know what I saw, though? Neil was right down the middle, bud. Oh, yeah. Let me get one of those right down the middle. Mm-hmm. All right, the meter, yeah. There's a lot of... You know, I'm also realizing we don't need these headphones for anything. Why do we wear these during streams? It's because the machine is loud, right? Like, I'm trying to remember why we do this. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a really good point. Okay.
75:14
All right, so now I'm in Lily. Hey, Loser Kid is resubbed. Thanks, Loser Kid. Josh Roof. Five months. So check this out. We've been streaming pinball for five months on Twitch.
75:32
It feels like 14 months. I'm not going to lie to you. It feels longer than five months, but it's been fun. Thank you.
75:43
It works a lot better if you don't yell. Am I yelling? I'm sorry. Head Boss Hawks. Just wear the headphones. You look more professional.
75:56
But I just really don't need to use the headphones. Wow, it's like I can hear a lot. That's fine. You cannot last 420 episodes.
76:07
No. Well, if I did episodes five times a week, where would I be right now? I'd be at about 300 episodes.
76:18
Once a week, 75 episodes. And with multiple episodes in some weeks, though, we've not missed July 4th. We've got July, August, September, October. So we've gone 15 months, okay, especially with the football podcast, gone 15 months. You know about this? 15 months without missing a podcast in any week. And that's sick, babies being born, dying, expos, TPFs. So we're at 75 episodes, but 15 months. Just in case that we don't need these, but you sit down and you just want to put them on. You know why? It's like a comfort thing now. It is. It's because it's a little chilly.
76:58
Is that your mouse? Is the action button blinking? It is, because I think it's saying you can press that and launch that ball. Yeah.
77:07
Hasn't it been just a little bit longer that you've been streaming because you have to get affiliated or something for subs? affiliate status requires you to have a minimum amount of uh streaming hours in a week a minimum amount of followers and uh that sort of thing so i highly recommend checking into it uh without shroud ninja twitch needs a new hot fortnight stream where they go mixer right mixer's the new is that what they want yeah well i like twitch it figures i just learned how to stream on twitch and then everybody else hits the mixer. I don't know if there's a pinball deal on mixer. I don't know. I'm sure there is. You two going to TPF? Steve's not going to TPF because he's going to Bohemia or something, right? Where are you going to go? Bohemia.
77:56
I don't think that's a place. Another running joke is, Ken's just going to stay a country. Other than Thailand.
78:06
He's going to Thailand at that time. Bohemia. Pinquest is trying to make us Munster Pros, bros. Uh, yeah.
78:21
Yeah, there's another category. There's another category on Grindr. There's not a pinball category on Mixer. Don't worry, they hate pinball. Well, there is. But it's like Nintendo pinball. Why? Who wouldn't want to stream pinball games?
78:40
You know what? There's always got to be a first, right guys? All right, see you all on Mixer. Is this player two? NES Pinball. Yeah, I saw that one on Mixer.
78:53
It's player two, that's me. Yeah, I don't know Mixer. I don't know. It must be hot. What's their two faces do there?
79:08
Making meals. Wonka time, dude. Yeah, enjoy Wonka. Wonka's a great game. I actually got in on that Wonka beta test.
79:25
Looking forward to that. Oh, so you're beta tasting. Is it Bluetooth? Beta testing. Beta testing Bluetooth.
79:33
I'm beta tasting. Actually, that would be a pretty good marketing campaign for them. Beta tasting, right?
79:41
We're on a stream. We're on a something. My other thing of the week was, remember what I was talking about? Like, so,
79:50
women are taking sheds, and they're making them into like their little, like she sheds, you know, like men do sheds, they do man caves. What was your domain name? And women make sheds, like she sheds. So I was like, my domain for my company, if I was selling sheds, And I was targeting women for a she shed would be that's what she sheds. Yeah. Dot com. I'm sorry to take it. Yeah, sorry to take it. I'm not selling sheds. That sucks. That's so close.
80:23
That's right. That's what she said. Hey, bye, Head Boss Hog. Thanks for coming in, man. Have fun with Wonka. Looking forward to getting an Ellie Wonka hopefully here shortly. oh grinder's another one yep yep oh shit wanka i i still like wanka a lot she sheds i do not like the sound of that no it's like it's it's a shed like put into you know you erect a shed and then you make like a little man cave space but for women it's called a she shed He sells she sells by the seashore she sells by the seashore that's just that's jacksing up she sells by the seashore she sells by the seashore she sells she says by the seashore rubber baby bunny bumpers rubber baby bunkie bumpers rubber baby oh my gosh she sells she says by the seashore. Outer Spacey Tracy just blew my mind. Outer Spacey Tracy.
81:40
Outer Spacey Tracy. There you go. She sells she-sets by the sea. That's what she said by the seashore.
81:53
Let me bust out my tiny chat. Tiny chat. Picking up a game Soon, says Entrons. Let's have new JP and dialed in. What's everyone's thoughts? Vote. Wow, this game is killing me, this one. Considering the longevity. JP or dialed in, Ken, what do you think? What do you think in chat? That's a great... I have more time on JP, so... I've got more time on dialed in because I own a dialed in LE. You did. But if somebody said you could take a dialed in LE or you could take a Jurassic Park LE, right now, I would take the Jurassic Park LE. So would I.
82:36
But you would not go wrong. But granted, I still want to dial in LE. I actually have some trades going on. Oh, you got a little dialed in in your future? Well, no, yeah, I got my toilet up, and dial in's one that I want. Huh. The dumpster fire by Flarecade, Ken called a universe under glass. I don't know any of the references.
83:03
JP. It's a Jeff 9 free. God damn it. Whoa Steve you all right there I mean I good That was a brutal game
83:26
I don't want to make this a late stream. Let's play one more game and then we'll go to a quick after hours and we'll shut this thing down by 11. Do you have the phone set up on here? Yeah, it's all set up. We don't even have to do after hours. I didn't know if you were set up.
83:41
No, it's set up again. Preliminary stuff. Again, just making sure we're good for Monday. I do look shorter than you, though, so I have to get up here. Every time you say that, you know I'm just going to go. I'm just looking at the perspective here.
83:55
Yeah, this is great. Oh, wait. Hang on. Check it out. No, we're on the same. Why are you so high? That's so much higher than I am.
84:08
I don't understand. I'm going to come over here next time. Are you taller than me? I know I'm going to be like five inches shorter. Ken's going to be swapping chairs and chopping my legs down.
84:17
I'm going to hook up a nice little 60. I can barely get over the table. Holy cow. Are you taller than me? I never noticed that you were. I always thought I was taller than you. We hung out quite a bit, and I don't know. We're sitting on what I thought were the same chairs. I'm like 5'11". And you're like towering over me right now. Are you like 5'5"? Did I shrink from the expo? I might have drank and shrank. You might have like the worn-out chair.
84:47
I don't know what's going on. I will promise you this. By Monday, we won't be having this. Oh, I guarantee. We won't be having this trick of the eye. I'll be sitting there or something. Going down with my feet. I'm going to get you like a little lawn chair.
85:01
So you're going to be like just a little head over the table. I don't care, man. Give me a hammock over here. Stay no to drugs. Just chilling. Up shots make you look bigger, fellas. Yeah, no, where we got down shots going right now? Makes me look thinner. Look how big this Bonin Viv is. But really, it's fast. See that? Camera tricks. Yeah, that's it. So, did you know that Pat Lawler's wife is named Pat Lawler? And that is absolutely correct. Whoa. Hey, Tiki Pinball! Tiki! Had a great time hanging out with Tiki Pinball at Expo.
85:35
Yeah, definitely, man. I'm forming scoliosis. We saw Tiki quite a bit. That's the curvature of the spine.
85:42
Hey, we've got some new bits coming in. Tinky Pinball and the 100 Bits. Tinky with the 100. Thanks, man. Thanks, buddy. Didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it. Good times at Expo, too, right? Good times. Tinky Pinball, what did you win at Expo during the Dwight Sullivan feud without the family? Because I know you walked away with something.
86:00
Somebody walked away with like eight Frisbees. Yeah, what was up with that guy? That guy pissed off Dwight. Dwight was mad at that guy. Yeah, because he hoarded the Frisbees and he was trying to get more, and Dwight wanted none of it. Yeah, he's like, no, no, no. And then he would make a joke, and Dwight's like, I kicked that guy's ass.
86:17
Let's get a two-player game on Munsters and let's start it off. Can we stand up next to each other for a second? Sure. All right.
86:37
Man, you gotta go up here. Here, back to back. Damn, I'm taller! So why am I shorter than you? You're like lifting your calves up.
86:51
I can go like this. I like the flip-a-lops here, by the way. Thanks. We got uniforms. We're supposed to wear them.
86:58
Oh. We're wearing uniforms. Did you get a uniform? I left my polo and slacks in the house. I wasn't planning on coming by, man. I'm just reinforcements right now.
87:12
He gave your frisbee away on the elevator. I can't hear you, buddy. Are you talking some hype smack back there? No, not at all. He gave my frisbee away on the elevator. Yeah, Tiki gave it to his frisbee. Is that all you got? Was the frisbee Tiki Pinball? I thought you had something else. You weren't on any of the winning teams?
87:32
One of your cameras was flipped, says Skip Natty, who's probably bullshitting again because it looks fine.
87:40
Don't listen to Skip Natty's feedback. He's busting my balls right now. I know he is. He gave me a panic attack twice.
88:05
Oh. He's told me it's those black spandex body suits with the Flippin' Out logo. Oh, Zach needs to make those.
88:16
The banana hammock. Oh, behind the edge. We're on different sides from the game cam and the table cam.
88:43
Oh, shit. I think you're right, dude. You might be on to something, Skip Natty. Can't really see that. Hang on.
88:55
Man, that ball was just determined to drain itself. That's a little disappointing. What's with it? Yeah, yeah, okay.
89:15
Penn's pin quest cameras. Flippity-flappity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might be having some, Skivnadi. About time, buddy.
89:34
We both dismissed you so quick. You want that? So your center cam, your pin quest cam, is flipped. What?
89:48
Check out your video. See if you notice anything. Dude, is there something wrong with the video? Right, Tiki?
90:01
Dwight Seminar was badass. I was having a good ball and I got distracted. Okay, so look at your center video. Yeah? And look.
90:10
Pinquest is right there. No, but look at, now look back this way. Right, they're both looking toward this wall.
90:19
But one of them is opposite. What? I have no idea what you just said. Okay. Hang on. Oh, wait. Okay, I hear you saying it. No, wait. What am I saying? You're seeing it. Okay, so look. I'm pointing.
90:41
Yeah. No, maybe you're bad. I don't know. No, that's right. I think he's right. Yeah, it's like a mirror. It feels like a horizontal flip. It's a mirror image. Feels like a horizontal flip. Well, this camera is horizontal flipped because it's upside down.
91:01
Oh, look at that. Oh, so that's why it does it? Yeah. Is there something wrong with the PinQuest logo? No, but you could change that probably in the camera settings.
91:11
Well, I did. It was upside down, so I had to go into Streamlabs OBS, and I had to rotate the image. Now he's pointing, and it's making sense to me now. I'm fucking tired. No. Okay. Okay, so they're just standing.
91:27
Like, I'm on the left on this, but I'm on the right on this. But they're both looking this way. Right? The details that count. The camera is upside down with a 180 flip. Okay. That's why.
91:44
Now he gets it. That was a good pickup skip, Nettie. Interesting. Okay, I can see. Because Kenda was over there starting to point, and I was like, hang on.
91:57
What the fuck? Looks good now. Let's get shit. Ooh, flipping. Flipping out. So, yeah, that means the player cam. The one over there, right? Everything's backwards. Your shirts are red backwards.
92:32
Neil. Yeah, I think there's got to be a setting on that camera to flip that. The continuity. Oh, my gosh. Whoever.
92:46
Sorry, are you like watching movies? You're like, hang on. That last scene, the cup was over there. Now it's over there.
92:53
Yeah, no, good catch on that though, guys. The continuity is off. I think I'm about ready to explode another beer on Ken's table or his floor maybe. Let's see where this one goes.
93:08
So is my stuff spelled backwards? I think so. Yeah, I think your shirt will be flipped. But we are on the flipping out channel. Is this shirt backwards? Then I'm like terrified to open a beer. All right, so I have to.
93:29
Yeah, all right, I know what I need to do. It's like Twilight Zone. All right, good catch. Hey, that's what this dream is for, right? We've got to figure out what's going on. Yeah, no, that was a good pickup. But if I take this shirt off and wear it inside out, I think it corrects itself. Or if you put a mirror.
93:49
Somehow we can do like a mirror situation. All right, Ken, what do you think? What's the percentage of this beer exploding? It feels kind of, literally, it's been sitting on the floor for ten minutes. I don't think this is my ball. Did you get an extra ball?
94:07
Play again. No? I thought I had started something. I'll be right back. I'm going to go open this over the garbage because I'm like freaking two for five of exploding beers.
94:27
I'm trying to. I think we got messed up. I'm literally going to go. Oh, please don't open another beer in here. Yeah, open it over the garbage. Oh, my gosh.
94:44
All right. The plate feels bad. The play field says, uh, Sretznam, uh, Ehet. That would suck. Yeah, Skip Natty, I'll be honest, you've blown my mind a couple times tonight. I'm not sure what your agenda is, but I love that you're here, man.
95:13
I think the problem lies with me, brother. I'm like a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to putting this stuff together, and none of it's ever perfect. It's far from perfect, but I still try. So just trying to get some help and some feedback here.
95:37
You've now entered the Twilight Zone. Player one is playing. All right, Ken. Outer Space D. Tracy. Because I'm like, is he player one? She goes, player one is player two mirrored in the Twilight Zone. Holy shit. Oh, in the mirrored world. Oh, gosh.
96:01
Ken, you need to be DQ'd from Tournament Play. Pretty much every time we're playing, others fall. Okay. First of all, you're absolutely correct, and I would be DQ'd.
96:14
But I just, I innocently walked outside after I got a beer and stepped up to the game, and it wasn't my turn. I don't know how that works. I blame Steve. Steve, he's spilling beers and making me play out of turn. It's your turn, right? I don't know. It's my turn.
96:29
So here's, here's like normal Monday nights. We have our rotation. We know who goes first. We always start, you know, left to right.
96:37
Let's keep that. All right. I just started a new game. Perfect. Let's try to keep it fresh here. Buy all my pins from 2-0 in Pilt.
96:57
Ladd Knit. The Mirage Flippin' Out Pinball. Oh, my gosh. That was so quick. These are stacking up quick. Hey, and not to plug my own stuff on my boss's channel here. Yeah, you're player two. I'll be player one.
97:16
Got new special elite pinball podcasters. If anybody's looking for one. They're like a nice ocean blue with a hint of purple on them. Oh, you're an arcade guy. Yeah, when there's tokens on the floor? That's right.
97:32
No agenda. Just a Twitch chatter, having fun. but I can be serious when I have to. Good times. You're left to right or right to left, whatever it takes. Just playing Steve, that sounds easy. That's what I'm doing, teaching pinball. I'm just playing with Steve.
97:49
Hey, Jarvis is wearing one. Atta boy. Anyone else curious why Marlboro doesn't sponsor pinball tournaments? Seems like a requirement to smoke to deal with the stress. Are there a lot of heavy smokers in the tournament player area? All right, come on, Munster. Is there a lot of smoking going on? I never thought about that.
98:11
It's my ball search. You probably need to start a new game, and that means player one starts again. Seriously?
98:25
We have some technical difficulties here on the Flippin' Out Streaming Network. Did you find the ball?
98:42
It's up there, man. Where is it? Why are you giving me another ball? Hey, do me a favor. Open a beer over the play field while you're getting a ball. what's better than Novus 2 and Apocalypse IPA need help no ok I'll get it where's Adam no I had him yeah he's fucking cradled up in his arm oh really I haven't seen that before new mods elbow arm the bicep deflector All right.
99:38
So we need to start another game here, right? And let's flip up player one and player two just to make it even more confusing. Sounds good to me.
99:53
Is that it? Wait, you turn it off? Just hold the start button down. It starts another game. Oh, rookie mistake. It's on every pin. Like, ever. Listen, as long as you're not in the middle of your first ball, after the first ball drains. It was the second ball. And it's third ball, too. At any point you hold the start button on, it just restarts the game.
100:18
So you don't have to do a hard boot. I was in the middle of my first ball. Player two. Don't worry, it's still going to start.
100:31
Player who? Player two. Good stuff. What's the story of this game? Where are you all at? I came in late. All right. So Tiki Pinball, normally we are streaming from our original studio. I'm doing a garage into a game room studio conversion. I'm in the middle of that right now. So this is the new Studio C, but it's in its raw prototype phase. As you can see, there's unfinished floors and stuff all over the place. But we thought it would be fun to kind of break it in and stream up here tonight. And then I also wanted to check to see if we were able to correct the issues that we had audio-video-wise that had plagued us on Wednesday because we had some fake issues. Yeah, so far so good, I think, right? Yep, and thanks to Skip Natty and his guidance, we've been able to figure out all the problems tonight. We're good to go, and we're streaming out of the Twilight Zone. Flip a camera, we're good to go. Perfect, yeah.
101:29
All right. You ready? This is the last game of Munsters, and we'll do a quick after hours if anybody wants to do it. You still look freaking taller than me. Hold on. I have good posture today.
101:47
How you been, man? How's it going? I do feel like I'm just kind of like propped up. No, but you're not. I can't understand why you're taller. I wonder if the garage... Oh, there's something going on with my chair, too. Even the way you're hitting here is... I'm wondering if the garage is kind of sloped for drainage, and I'm on the bottom end of the slope.
102:07
Yeah, all foot of that slope and three foot. That could be crazy. It's all about the she said. That's what she said. She shed both. She sells she sheds by the seashore. Tell us all she sheds by the seashore. Sure.
102:24
Fellas, when the green is legal for rec use, will you see a special enhanced matchup? No, not for me. Man, how about that? Not for me. I'm also passing. Back in the day, maybe. I was going to say, I had my fun days. Yeah, back in the day. I can't hang anymore with that, man. If I were to partake in more greenery, it would put another 25 pounds on this frame of munchies. It would get so quiet. It would be like the most boring stream ever.
102:51
You're just like... But watch, we start tearing it up at Penn and just become tournament players. Don't talk. What are you saying? You have to smoke weed to be a tournament player? Maybe. I don't know. I'm saying maybe. Take the edge off.
103:09
All right, you ready? Glad to see you. Thanks for joining us on the Flippin' Up Thursday Night Soundcheck.
103:17
Soundcheck. Video check. Got some tunes going today. I like the tunes. So the tunes aren't going to be a normal addition, right? No, just the Thursday Night Soundcheck. Okay. Because we don't want any of this audio making its way into the interwebs anyway.
103:42
Yes, as soon as you've thrown some copyrighted. Edibles. my neighbor just went to Colorado to drop his daughter off and they had some edible gummies up there and he said that they were they did not realize how intense that was going to be and they started freaking out a little bit yeah I went to Colorado over the summer and I was like yeah I could swing into one of these shops but I can't hang anymore man It's funny because I used to hug.
104:24
What's my phone ringing? That's her wife. It is. She's probably like, are you still streaming by yourself? I'd be like, no, I called somebody.
104:35
Reinforcements. I probably should take that call, though. Yeah. Yeah, maybe it's this ball. You want to... You know what will inevitably happen is I'll have the ball of my life on this, and I won't call her back for like five minutes, and then I'll get in trouble.
104:54
Now I'm looking to be careless and dream. Hey, I can't pull it back. No way. Yeah, that's your alarm sound? That's funny how this works.
105:19
Sorry. That's fine. The Mary Joanne. You know, it's funny. If my wife paid attention, all she really would need to do right now is log on to Twitch, get in the chat, and let me know what you needed. Let her know. To reach me next time. If she was there, she could throw some bits and maybe tub with her Amazon Prime, but nope.
105:49
Nothing. She's not going to do any of that. But I'm supposed to sacrifice my Munsters ball that's lasted 92 seconds and answer the phone. Yeah, big ball.
106:03
Does that happen to anybody else? Like when you've got to leave, you've got to be somewhere, and you're waiting for your ride or something. You're like, I'll get a quick game of pinball in. and then all of a sudden you're like 12 minutes in and you're on the wizard mode and the ride's waiting outside. I've been late to work many a times. Yep. Because you're having like the game of your life, right? Quicker on a pinball.
106:23
Man, morning pinball. Some of them are my best playing. I'll tell you what, though. I'm getting a lot of favorable bounces right now.
106:48
And that's because I'm on the clock. That missed call is going on two minutes, man. You've got to be careful.
106:57
It's going to be a no-drainer. It's like, oh, every minute that goes by. The Q-Views? The Q-Views. Oh, man. I'm still coming off that expo high. I'm not going to lie. Here, take over my ball. We don't need it. Hurry up. Take it over. Oh my God, he's serious.
107:50
I'm just going to hang on to his extra ball because I think he's going to have a good game here. How many jackpots did you have build up? I don't know. Where am I looking here?
108:13
Oh, the meter. Two super jackpots. Yeah, not much, dude. All right, I'll actually get to check this out, see what's going on here.
108:42
So we're in level one. Level one, level one, level one. So what does he need? What's that on the top right there?
108:58
Grim Tim, are you out? Hey, man, good seeing you all last weekend, dude. That was a good time. Good time, Tim. Thanks for coming on, man.
109:18
Alright, Ken. Should have brought my freaking drink over. Ah! Okay, so left of the meter. All right, so you got the combo meter, the super jackpot meter, the multiplier. Yeah, I'm holding it here. Oh, you held it? Yeah. The coil didn't burn off? Yeah. Wow, nicely done. Oh, maybe it did. It's a little smoke. Yeah, what's that smoke in the monster?
110:02
Well, now there's no urgency for me to have to get off this pen, so I should drain any second of it.
110:11
There was an emergency because the Amazon TV wasn't loading. Oh! Well, I'm glad you took care of it. Yes.
110:21
Who's sitting over there? I'm like, hey, shut up. I should have brought my beer. All right. See?
110:29
Every time. Had to go upstairs, though, because in fixed head, otherwise I don't get my allowance. You get allowance.
110:43
Hey, Huckweed, thank you so much for the 50 bits. Wizard time. Oh, Huckweed, what up? Outer Spacey Tracy barely remixed. She doesn't remember who she met at Expo.
110:54
Now, Outer Spacey Tracy, were you having cocktails, or was it just so busy that you don't remember the name?
111:02
To Mexico. Yeah, that's true. You're not putting anything less than the Strokes on it. Working. two jackpots you have an extra all homie
111:34
so it's funny so i was playing pinball and and i'm i'm having like the ball of my life on monsters getting ready to clear everything out and light monster madness on ball one.
111:46
Phone's ringing in the background. Check my watch. I saw that it was my wife. I made the decision to not answer that call.
111:58
And then within two minutes, you hear, the studio seat door opened, and I looked and I made eye contact with somebody that needed help.
112:14
And it was the wife. And it was because the Amazon Prime, or the Amazon TV was playing. So Amazon TV was playing her shows at like 1.5 speed and she didn't know how to turn it and I didn't know how to turn it off. And she's like, it's because you're streaming that Twitch downstairs.
112:38
I'd go stream and Twitch. Does it make your Amazon movie go to one and a half feet? I'm sure it's in the settings, so I couldn't figure it out. Hey, that's my podcast. Yeah, me too. You want to fly through some movies. I physically unplugged it and plugged it back in, and I just ran downstairs. So there's a very good chance I'm going to have to go back upstairs if the hard boot, hard reset didn't work.
113:08
Steve, you're playing my extra ball. Now, Steve would be disqualified from tournament play. You know what's funny, too, is because I'm kind of blown to shit on two. Yeah. Do you know what it feels like?
113:25
Definitely not sucking on that extra ball. Nice. I'll be sure to drain it. We need Raven. Okay, hang on. Who would be disqualified? Would it be the person that stepped up, I believe. Would it be the person that walked away from their extra ball? Wow, that was a really fast Raven multi-ball there.
113:46
That's a good question. Yeah, no, I think if you play out of turn, you're just... There's got to be some timeout sequence where if you walk away from your extra ball for a certain amount of time, you force it. I walk away and do the multi-ball. It's like chess. If you take your hand off the piece, you've already sacrificed your turn type of thing. I don't know. These are all great stories, but I know nothing about tournament play.
114:07
Yeah, we're just making shit up. It's like split flipper, but it's taken a lot longer. I got all my stuff parked in the Dracula thing, and I just got the special.
114:15
Are you even gone yet? No, this is still ball one. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, player two, you're at zero. Oh, I was nailing all my shots until I got grounded because the Amazon's not working because I'm streaming Twitch.
114:33
That's awesome. I got a gift story for my podcast now. Well, this dude is playing 1.10 times faster. I think we're just going to unplug it and plug it back in. Oh, snap. You should unplug it and plug it back in.
114:49
I thought she was going to be like, I don't know, I'm upstairs and everything's like a mirror effect. Like everything's in reverse. It's like, oh, it's happening upstairs, downstairs too. All right, so if you play somebody else's ball, you get a zero. Somebody in your group should tell you. depends on EMS and solid-state games leave them on all right cool enough
115:17
yeah this is true hold the zap button to cancel oh I collected I'd say I held it down though I have no idea why I'm in another multiball.
115:42
You know what would be great, man, is if we started learning the rules in some of these games. Yeah.
115:48
Like, I'm actually glad the multiball's over because I had no idea why I was in it. Extra ball? I'm going to wait and see. Yeah, an extra ball.
116:01
Extra ball, all right, you go now. Yeah, oh, my turn? Yeah. Woo, all right. I could have played that last extra ball, and you could have played this one.
116:15
All right, so this is Monster Madness. I'm ball one. We always blame the machine, Outer Spacey Tracy.
116:31
It's hard to hit these shots because you've got all these balls in the way. Because right now I've got to hit that Raven ramp. Ball syndrome.
116:56
Dude, that button just flashes and I just hit it. Woo! Ah, crap. Yeah, skip that. You know, it's not weird. Somebody was talking about making emotes for the channel. Yeah, we need some emotes. I had somebody that said, I can help you out, and I contacted them, and then they wanted like $800. I was like, oh, I'm going to take a bath.
117:46
I'll do it for $700. Thanks, man. I'll do a bottle of the Lord. Right. What else do we got? I'll do it. I'll do one for $700.
118:04
No, it's got to be like, it's real harsh, kind of like, is it 8-bit graphics? I mean, it's... Like a dude? Yeah.
118:23
Hey, GRVO935, what's going on, artists on Twitch? We do Chibis and Emotes. We'll do them for like $15. That's a lot better than $800. It's slightly better than $800. Oh, that's still beer emoji. That's a good one. Floating beer emoji. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I want to be reminded of that, though.
118:47
I think it's two streams in a row now. It was like two beers in a row. You know what? This is fake Costco shit. That's what I'm saying. Stop buying Costco beer.
119:00
It's probably like a truck tipped over and all that shit's all over the road. They're like, yeah, pick up the Costco.
119:09
No, it's like literally the truck tipped over and they just need to sell it at Costco. Because it's like you got it cheap enough, so if you complain, they'll be like, quit your bitching. You got it for nothing. Penny's on a dollar. Drink what wasn't spilled.
119:23
Oh, that's hot. You're going to spill half of it on the floor, so you're really paying for it. Yeah, that's right. The discount is on the floor, dude. That's awesome.
119:36
It's been a while since I've been scared to open a beer. And then you go to a garbage can and be like... I'll be honest, I'm also scared for you to open a beer. Oh, me.
119:48
Can I ask you, is it wrong that I'm bored right now? I don't want to play this anymore. That's what's good. I believe it was a cancel player too, though.
120:01
Oh, there. Woo! All right, you still got that extra ball. Oh, my gosh. Just play it. You want to play it? No.
120:16
It's like, how many extra balls is that? Three? This needs to be, I think you need to set this up to limit your extra balls.
120:25
Yeah. Dude, this is still ball one. If I actually knew how to use these multipliers, I'm just hitting it when it flashes.
120:44
No, you want to collect those. Those are the zaps. You're collecting, like, whatever zap things. Anytime that flashes, you want to collect it. Okay. I think. And then when it goes into the drag-a-ball, you want to hold it down to cancel. Yeah, when it goes into the drag-a-ball, you want to hurt your mother. Press it. Oh, dude, it's a multi-ball.
121:16
Napjack pop. That's what that is. Napjack pop. Okay. Right now. There's the zapjack pop. Maybe. Oh, my God. Is that done? Woo!
121:29
Hey! Yeah. Yeah, we're going to play a nice ball. Yeah, we're going to play a nice ball, I guess. It's not as fun with the sound off. I have no idea what's going on. Yep.
121:47
So Outer Spacey Tracy has like a whole array of emotes. Jackpot. Come on. So we need to get some emotes.
122:10
Oh! Yeah, the rule. We covered the rule cards earlier there, Neil. I usually read those rule cards right when somebody's on the way to pick up a pin that I just sold. Like, oh, I'm curious what the rules were on that one.
122:32
You ever do that? Yeah. You have a pin for like two months, and you're like, how do you do this? And you just glance down at the rule card. It's like the second thing on it. You're like, oh, that's what I've been doing. Probably should have checked that out.
122:44
I'm a different kind of collector. Skip Natty's got some cool. emotes. I see Mario in there and Pirates of the Caribbean.
122:59
Good times. Guys, thank you so much for joining us on Thursday Night Soundcheck. I think this is what we should do on Thursday night. Just play music and play pinball.
123:12
Hell yeah! Yeah, right? Jobber's like, wait a second, if I read the rule card, it's going to tell me how to play this game?
123:23
I thought it was just copyright stuff. Wait, I got to read to play pinball? I'm glad we called this the last game.
123:47
You ready? Are you ready? Are you flipping ready? So what happens if you... See? How freaking ironic is that?
124:05
House wall. Right? Just when I was motivated. It's like, nah, we're just going to take that away from you. You sound so motivated. Be careful for what you wish for, Ken. piece of garbage.
124:19
Going to complain about a good ball one. I'm going to drain you real quick on voltage. Hey, Pink Quest.
124:26
Thank you for the $100. Hey, Pink Quest for the $100. Thanks for the $100. Neil's been overly generous since he started sponsoring Flippin' Out. I'm not sure that he feels that he made the right decision or not sponsoring the stream, but he's always here and he's always supporting us, man, so I appreciate it.
124:46
Thanks for coming in, man. And Skip and Addie with more of these emotes, I don't even know what I'm looking at.
124:53
It looks kind of like a I don know what that is The two of those together look strangely odd to me Chaubert, thank you so much for the 100 million bits, man. That was pretty freaking awesome.
125:10
Give Daddy 100 bucks. We'll see. That's my, that's my pinky pinball. Thanks for the 100 bits, buddy.
125:21
I really do appreciate it. That's my whole thing. If I pretend to get excited about $100, then I feel the person that donated the 100-bit seal is obligated to give the $100, which is like 10,000 bits. You know who gave us 10,000 bits once or twice? It was Joe Fox.
125:41
Like lit it up. I thought I drank too much. I thought I was doubling on zeros. It was crazy, crazy, crazy. He's probably like, oh, shit, I didn't mean to add that extra zero. Those are gasms.
125:52
I don't know what it is. That was sarcastic. That's a little look like Skip Daddy. I hope the audio is down on those. I hope the audio is muted.
126:05
GRVO935 with 100 bits. Thank you, buddy. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate it. Or woman. Thank you for contributing to the Flippin' Out the Ball streaming network. All the money goes back into the stream. we do appreciate it.
126:29
Check your whisper for the only player card you need. Outer Spacey Tracy, I'm not going to lie, I don't even know what that means.
126:36
Grandpa. I think that means that Zach Many, who runs the channel, can get a whisper. I'm just dreaming up with his Twitch key.
126:48
You guys should get some special alerts for cheer amounts, like a hot alert if we do this. 69, dudes. So, okay, so this is the thing. I appreciate that, Skip Natty, because I went in and I was customizing the widgets and I had different, like, noises and stuff and sounds for different things and it aggravated a lot of people. I was like, but it's fun. I think it's cool. Would you like a hand grenade? There's no, no. Please open that over my bathtub, bro.
127:16
And let me inflate my raft before you open that beer. GRVO, thank you so much. I really, really, really do appreciate it. What are your tweets? Messenger thingy.
127:28
Yeah, but I'm not signed in on Messenger under Flippin' Out. But on Streamlabs OBS, I have the Flippin' Out chat here. There's not a whisper for me to check. Thanks for whispering. I wish I could hear it.
127:43
Is this ball three? It is ball three. There we go. It's fucking exploded. Did it really? Yeah. What? Woo-hoo! That game hates me now.
128:09
You know what? Once I got a little too cocky, the game's like, oh, all right, Ken. You know what? No, you don't have to. We're going to get you right off this game real fast. That's your first ball. All right, that's it. So this is the late night Thursday crowd in the Flippin' Out Streaming Network Thursday night sound check. Did anybody get a chance to check out? I know Buffalo streamed tonight. I think they had their live podcast tonight. Come on. I wanted to watch that, and I could not because I was at the store buying food for the family.
128:46
So what's the verdict for those that have been here? Do we like the background music or do we prefer the pinball music?
128:55
Because I can turn that down if you want to hear the last ball of monsters. Oh, and lastly, if you don't mind, because I forgot to ask this. As far as the play field camera goes, are we skipping frames? Because it should be 1080p at 60 frames per second. but on the monitor that I'm looking at this time, it looks like that I'm skipping frames, but I'm not getting notified by Twitch that I'm skipping frames. So if it looks out of sync or if it looks like it's skipping, I appreciate it. Hey, good job, Steve.
129:37
Yeah, you like to hear music and sounds from the machines? Okay. I totally get it, Ventron. Thank you. On Monday Night Pinball, we will absolutely do that. On Thursday Night Soundcheck, we're going to do this music medley up here.
129:53
Outer Spacey Tracy, Tiki Pinball, says it's fine, awesome. Birdo Drink One, I like music. Birdo Drink One and Tiki Pinball, I've got to hand it to you both. Thanks for coming in. You guys are like regulars. It's like coming in to cheers, and everybody knows your name. I appreciate that. And I hope Outer Spacey Tracy's a new regular for us.
130:17
I remember the... You know, Outer Spacey Tracy's first Twitch stream that she met us on was the Mallorca stream. Oh! Which was deleted quickly by the... It's welcome. I know. Horrible bunch of madness. Did you catch me, though? I heard. Yeah. No, did you catch me score-wise? No. You got an extra ball or anything? Get off. I'm going to play my ball the way that I played your ball.
130:43
Oh, player one. High score four. Go throw to your name. Come on. You're not getting out of it. Put your knee shields in. We'll call this the Joyce ball.
131:01
Yeah, no kidding, right? Oh, the Malert stream. How about this? We'll do a little outer, spacey, Tracy on that one. Nice.
131:24
All right, so we had... Are we using a CX-405? So we have two CX-405s, a CX-455. Make sure the camera is to 60 frames. Yeah, no, it's not that way. No problems.
131:45
First stream I officially introduced myself. Yeah, sorry about that. That was an interesting evening.
131:54
And everybody that knows Zach Metties, I mean, Zach's not one to shy away from anything. No, no, dude. That stream was deleted immediately, and I didn't record it on my end. And at one point... I think he texted me. He was like, hey, bud. I'm getting a little tired here. I think it's time. No, he's like, ready to shut it down? I think it's time. As soon as I said it, I shut it down so fast. Oh, yeah. Okay, everybody. Thanks for coming in here. That was it.
132:22
But then at one point, I went into the channel, and I was checking the analytics. Somebody clipped something, and I think it might have been Zach. And it was myself and Steve singing Closing Time.
132:37
Not very well. It was like we were just on a pirate ship. Did you remember that? Yeah. That is what it is. Glen 0570, what's up? Welcome. Hello.
132:51
Good times. My baby, Chad. Why don't we do this? Pay some bills. Let's ask Chad. Did we go to after hours for a little bit, or did we just shut this thing down? It's already 11 o'clock, 11.05 here on Chicago time. I can only imagine that it's probably 12.05 on the East Coast. I've got to get out of here soon. But if anybody wants to call in. We can end it now and forever hold our peace. Or we can do a quick call-in segment. Or the Malort.
133:24
Too legit to quit. Great song. Not going to happen. No, there's going to be no Malort. Actually, Malort's been banned from our stream, Jim.
133:38
I don't know if it was Zach that banned it or Twitch. You know, we're using it as like a wager. Oh, I bet we're going to hit this. I hope we can hit this number. Jobber's right. I think we do need to test the phones.
133:58
All right. Give us a call, buddy. So let's do this. Pay some bills. We'll get into after hours. We'll just take a call or two, and we'll wrap this thing up. If you're still sticking around here on Thursday night as the fog rolls into San Antonio Bay,
134:12
stick with us here. I was busy today. I had some alert last weekend. What did you think? Sorry. Just call in. Call in.
134:21
Tonight, Glenn, we're at Studio Steve, which is half done, which is why it looks a little rough in here. But we're doing the best we can here on the Flippin' Out Streaming Network.
134:35
We're going to set up the phones. Get ready to roll. Rock and roll. Give us a couple minutes here. Closing time. No, no. Hey, Mike's alive. We're not allowed to drink Malort. We're not allowed to sing closing time anymore.
135:00
Good times. alrighty then so man the Thursday night crowd is some roughnecks I kind of like that a little bit you can call us now at 630-283-2888 and we will do our actually we'll be happy to take your call that's the kind of guys that we are on the Flippin' On Streaming Network and actually I would appreciate if somebody could call because we do need to check this phone line.
135:34
That's fast. Welcome to the Flippin' Off Streaming Network. You're on with Ken and Steve. Well, hello, gentlemen. This is Jobber. What's up, man? How are you, buddy?
135:49
As you may or may not be able to tell, I don't have a voice. I think I went a little too on the, I believe they call it, I don't remember. Hey, Jobber, you always have a voice. It's how you choose to use that voice.
136:06
Yes, it's very true. Well, right now my voice sounds very hoarse. You're still hoarse, huh? Well, let me ask anybody that's in chat here, can you actually hear the caller? And I'm going to ask everybody except for Skip Natty to tell me. Skip Natty is going to be like, yeah, it's in reverse. He's like, yeah, it's like it's in tongues. I don't know what happened. So, Jobber, thanks for actually recommending that we open up the after hours. No, I mean, you might as well test the crap out before Monday. Yeah, we don't agree. I'm assuming this weekend is going to be you just hauling pins up from downstairs using your Escalera hand truck available from Flippin' Out Pinball. Oh, hey, heard it here first. I'd want one. I could call Zach right now at 847-778-4876, if I'm correct on that, right? Or you can contact him at Zach at FlippinUpTheBall.com. That is true. Tell him the jobber sent him. That is true. Tell him the jobber sent him. And, you know, I'll be honest with you. Just now I took the dumpster fire in my virtual pen and set it back up again. And you know that moment when you're lifting a heavy pinball machine, even though this is a virtual pinball machine, it still weighs about as much as a regular pinball. Oh, dude. You got that moment where you've got the stool over to the left, and you're trying to kick it under there so you can support it so you can put the back legs on. Yeah, needless to say, I would not have minded having an escalator at that point in time. Yes. Oh, yes. Well, there you go. You know where you get an escalator? 847-778-4876. You call Zach. Absolutely. Get your escalator. Or you can do what I tried to do, but Zach stopped me. you can try to steal it out of the back of the flipping out van when you are at a show. At one point, you almost walked out with a competition trophy, I think. You had, right? No, what happened, okay, so here's the ridiculous thing of this weekend. Most people realized I was full of crap, so they didn't mind when I would do something like, hey, can I borrow this for two minutes? So I'm sitting in the booth right next to Logan Arcade, and their Twippy was sitting there. and I did what I have done at many parties where there have been trophies in the past, grabbed it and said, hey, I'll be right back with this. So I went up and down media row and said, hey, I want a Twippy, I want a Twippy. Well, needless to say, Ed and I were walking, and I was just walking down the hall, and this one guy from Logan flashes his badge, and he goes, excuse me, and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm just going to take this back. Don't worry. I want that now. flashing a badge. It's like the Stanley Cup. It goes with somebody. Like concerned? Yeah. The Stanley Cup is leaving the building. Chase this guy down. Have you signed out the Stanley Cup? Yeah. This guy was legitimately pissed off, and later on in the night I spoke with the gentleman. I said, listen, I realize you weren't too happy about me taking your Twippy. I was just joking. I wasn't going to hurt it, and I told him stories where I've gone to producers' houses and grabbed their awards from various things that they've done and done the same damn joke. Where you also got beat down by security. Yeah, I was beat down by security. So that's what you're like, yeah, I know, you're going by Twippy.
139:21
That's right, Twippy is like, this thing's more important than an Oscar. No, not quite. Yo, Adrian, he took my Twippy.
139:30
Yeah, I did steal, tell other Spacey Tracy, I did steal all the banners. Did you hear about that banner gate? Oh, yeah, banner gate. I did. I heard it. What was it? The blue hat with the white logo? The blue hat man. Everyone's like, who is this man? He stole banners from Marco and then showed his friends those banners at another location. Oh. Yeah, there's an update. Is he known now? You've got to check on Self Mysteries next week. Another show coming from Zach. Zach Benney on Self Mysteries. Zach Benney and me flipping out. Streaming network. It'll be as received as well as pinball cribs were.
140:08
Yeah? It'll be. I love showing them, Zach. I love these pinball cribs. I didn't mind pinball cribs. It didn't bother me. Well, hey, man, it was nice to meet you at Expo finally. Nice to put a face with a name, and good times, man. Man, I had a little bit too much fun. I wish I could have gotten a little bit more sleep because I'm barely recovered. but I feel as though I'm more of a functioning person. Tuesday, if you would have streamed, I would have been just like, screw you guys, I'm going to bed. I couldn't agree with you more. Yeah. And, in fact, I'm surprised that there's anybody still here on a Thursday night. I'm still kind of like, yeah, we're all driving, man. I had the voice thing going on. We're all in a zonk mode. That is really literally why I will not be going to TPF this year. With the moving MGC up a week.
140:59
Oh, move back a week, huh? I can't do those two weekends in a row. No, I get it, man. It's that and... Oh, my gosh. I'm going to miss both those. Yeah, you're going to miss everything, Steve.
141:10
Thanks for going to Finland, dude. It is what it is. Way to go. Thanks for leaving the country. Thanks, Jobber. Thanks for calling in, buddy. And I look forward to... Hey, catch you Monday, right?
141:20
What's that? Catch you on Monday? Oh, yeah. I'll be around. All right, man. See you, man. More plugging of the dumpster fire. Talk to you later. Bye. See you. Good job.
141:31
Alexa. Stop. That's right. Only here on the Flippin' Out Pinball Streaming Network. Yeah, didn't like that. Didn't like that. But the new series is coming up from the Flippin' Out Streaming Network. Show us a little accent, too. Unsolved Pinstries, where stuff gets stolen at pinball shows.
141:49
And there's going to be reenactments. And people aren't going to understand the parody. And they're going to say that he ripped off another show from Robert Stack, which would be Unsolved Mystery. Robert Stack. Right. Remember Sightings with Tim White? That's crazy. Isn't that crazy what happened? Yes. So what had happened was Emoto was in our Meet the Media gathering, but she could not do her shifts because somebody had come in. They had video footage of this gentleman walking down the hallway. I'm going to do it like Robert's done it. A gentleman walked down the hallway, saw some banners and some other gear,
142:26
took it, looked left and right, brought it to his car, and then came back in to proceed to play pinball in the same room in which he stole the items. If you've seen this man, contact your local authorities. Do not approach him. He's considered armed and dangerous with Deadpool banners.
142:44
So they were pissed off. Do not end up in a Deadpool. Right. It's like, dude, you took our stuff, then you came in, and you played in our room. The Marco booth. They took kind of like a lot of shit, though. But then there was an updated story where there's footage somewhere else of the gentleman showing what he had stolen to other people. And I don't want to give it away in case he's trying to take us off the cold case.
143:20
Anyways, welcome to Ladies and Gentlemen. Skip Natty's out of here. He's like, oh, I got to go. My banner's, I got to go.
143:27
Right, well, that makes sense. Thanks, everybody, for joining us here on the Flip It on Streaming Network. Thursday night sound check. Again, we're in Studio C. We're doing a couple things. We rewired everything, and we redid our stream, and we're making sure that everything's working before we stream on Flippin' Up Monday Night Pinball, which is coming up Monday.
143:48
We have a couple exciting things to announce on the stream, which we can't confirm yet, but I will say this. So Monday we may have – you know what? I don't even know what to say.
144:04
A week from Monday we're going to have a pin that nobody has streamed yet that I know of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's exciting. And it's in the buzz right now, so that's pretty cool. So two weeks from Monday. And then the following week I'm hoping that we have an Elvira here. But the Jeopardy or the Trump card is going to be coming up here on this Monday where we could potentially be streaming this Munsters again since this is not an official Flippin' Up Pinball stream. I don't know. I don't know, man. Either way, it's a good time. It is what it is. I'm digging the new garage. Alexa, play. I understand you're in the midst of the remodel, but that's good. I like it. Yeah, you know what? It is. It's halfway there. I could be like, hey, I'm cool with this every time. You came in the first night, and I don't have any of the studio lighting on, so it's like it's a different vibe versus like we're under these terrestrial lights. Like this. Yeah, it's like boom. It's like right in your face. And it makes me look like, you know, a foot taller.
145:07
Yeah, I don't know how you're so tall. Bring an Iron Maiden. I would like to stream an Iron Maiden, actually. We could probably get an Iron Maiden. I think we could. You know what I'd like to stream is Pirates of the Caribbean. Might be able to get one of those. Probably have to stream that on Special Unlit, though, because Flippin' Out is not an official distributor.
145:26
I don't know if they are, but Pirates of the Caribbean is already sold out. Yeah, you can't get one of those. Why not?
145:32
We've got some local guys that might allow us to bust one out here. We'll talk. Lots of good pins coming out. Lots more in the pipeline. This is what we're going to do. Right. It's been fun. We're at 1118. We're going to end the stream at 1130. We have 12 more minutes. But if anybody wants to call in and talk, shoot the shit, so to speak, maybe talk some expo, talk about what you're looking to pick up, what you are looking to unload, let's go ahead and let's test that phone line here at 630-283-2888. I'm Ken. He is Steve. Bill Webb is on maternity leave. Oh, Bill. You like that? Bill.
146:11
I sincerely want to thank everybody for coming to chat. I expected like three or four people to straddle in here at some point. So I've been pleasantly surprised with the viewer numbers. Yeah, thanks, guys. Yeah, kudos. I was like not even paying attention to the chat. Sorry, guys. I got my freaking phone.
146:26
Phone here. Let me see the McMaden Heath posted. No, I did not see that. The McMaden. I would love to see a pirate stream. And full disclosure, we can do a pirate stream. Like, the wheels are in motion where we could actually do that. Yeah, no doubt. Maybe we end up doing that because I would actually love to do that too. Wild Bill Hickok says, head boss hug.
146:58
Good times. All right. I did not see Bill Webb in chat tonight. Bill, if you're listening, your wife has taken your phone, and you're on true lockdown. He's on baby duty. Just know you're in our thoughts, you're in our prayers.
147:14
And one day that baby won't wake up in the middle of the night and cry because it'll sleep through the night. It's going to be a beautiful day for Bill. Over the games, Chris the pin term struggled on. I want to tip the scales of my honor. I have no idea. You'd have to ask Chris the pin term. Not really sure. Hey, thanks for calling Flippin' Out Streaming Network. You're on with Ken and Steve. What's going on?
147:33
Oh, hi, it's Tracy. What's up, Tracy? How are you? I'm all right, just hanging around. What should we talk about? Remind me where you reside statewide. You don't have to get specific with like a city or an address.
147:50
I'll get specific. I'm in Austin, Texas. Oh, never been to Austin. My home address is, I'm just kidding. I'm in Austin. Followed by a zip code. So, Terry Hardy is out of Dallas, Texas, isn't he? Terry?
148:04
I think so. Do you know Terry Hardy by chance? I might have met Kerry. I don't know. Like I said, I'm awful with names. I met so many people. Oh, I'm the same way. Well, I'm just thinking it sounds like it might be advantageous for you guys to at least know each other locally because Kerry, I believe he's out of Dallas or in the Frisco area. I think Dallas is like seven hours away from Austin. Yeah, but it's within the state. Yeah, everything is. It's fucking big. Yeah, everything, right? Anyways, long story. I'm sure I'll bump into Kerry maybe at TPF next year. Kerry has his own YouTube channel, Kerry Hardy. But he also submits audio or video content to Straight Down the Middle for Zach and Greg. So, anyways, just trying to connect the dots. By the way, great episode with Flapsave. That was a good interview with Dwight.
148:59
Who? Tracy. The bird? No, that was Crystal. Oh, that was Crystal. I was on Backbox recently. Yes. Wait, yes. Hang on. I missed that one. That's okay. No, let me ask you this, because that's a newer podcast within the last three months. Nice. And is it Laura that does that? It's Lauren, yes. Lauren Fraley, right?
149:24
Lauren Gray. Oh, my gosh. Well, I'm 0 for 2. Hang on. She might have talked to Lauren on one of the episodes. The last one was Julie, and then we were on the one that she just released, I think, today, actually. Kelly and I were talking about her new Bells and Chimes chapter. We just had our first league night last night.
149:43
All right, so Bells and Chimes. How many Bells and Chimes chapters are there within the United States?
149:50
Well, according to the website that hasn't really been updated recently, there's over 20. So I'm sure there's probably close to 30 now. I mean, there's one in San Antonio, there's one in Houston, and we just started the awesome. And I think someone tried to start it, I don't know, a while back, but couldn't really get off the ground. So hopefully we don't fail. No, I don't think it's a failure thing. But when did you start getting into pinball, and then when did you realize that you wanted to get into more of, like, the competitive aspect of pinball?
150:20
I mean, I kind of did it maybe 2013 off and on, and then 2016 is when someone approached me and said, You know these flyers we have hung up is not just for intermediate players. So that's when I just kind of started doing league. And, yeah, off and on the past couple years. But getting more back into it again now that I can start my own stuff. Because, like I said, there's some crap happening.
150:50
What crap is happening? I'd rather play in a safer space. Oh, okay. Well, that's unfortunate. But you're back at it. and things are going good. That's good to hear.
151:01
Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is like a booming business. As you saw, there's kids under 18 in the finals of the main event at ESL. So, I mean, it's only getting bigger and bigger. Does Austin have a good pinball scene? Yeah, how is the pinball scene in Austin? I mean, it's pretty decent. There is an arcade called Pinballs Arcade, which is BS right now, and I am more than happy to be open about that. If you put a dollar into their coin machine, they give you three tokens back. Oh. Oh, shit. Sounds like PayPal runs that collection machines. Yeah, and a lot of them are now on card readers. And if you're a VIP member, you can spend $1.25 on one credit of a broken, like, Metallica. Wow. If you're not VIP, it's $1.65. Okay. And sometimes her words don't work, and it's crap. And there's two other locations, but there's a few bars around town. Like Buffalo Billiards is a really good place. There's a lot of machines there. A lot of them have Super Valley going, so that's good. They have a new JP there. They have Iron Maiden and Monsters, Twilight Zone. Cool. It seems like it would be like a hopping city for pinball. You know, I mean, there's a lot going on in Osceola. There's a lot of young people. There's a place called the Cider K that is going to open soon. They actually have more games as well. Cool. Good to hear. Hopefully we can have more of a booming scene there. What drove you to come out to Chicago for Expo?
152:27
I don't know. I've always wanted to see the Expo and being 35, I felt like that was a pretty special moment. And I'm glad I went because I heard it was way better this year than past years. I was so happy that we met because at one point, again, I think you came into our stream during the Malort night, And then I emailed you. Definitely. I don't know if you guys remember that, but, yes, I did that. There was no reply to the email that I sent Outer Space to Tracy. And I was like, oh, my gosh. What do we do? This poor lady thinks that I'm, like, a psychopath. I think we were kind of on our behavior, just very sloppy about being on our behavior. It's always about behavior. I think with that whole email, I think you're like, yeah, like, email us, and we'll, like, send you in time, like, email you. And you're like, yeah, meet me. And, like, that's all you said. And I'm like, all right. I don't know what to do with that. But you stream, though. So, I mean, how can people see Outer Spacey Tracy? Are you on Twitch streaming, Pinball? I mean, do you have a channel?
153:28
I don't have an official setup. Like, every now and then I'll, like, put my camera or, like, my phone on a game. Like, I don't have an official setup. I'm going to try to get together with the guy who has the machines at the bar that I'm running the Bells chapter. Okay. Hopefully we can get some streaming going.
153:46
Hopefully, like, set up a rig and stuff. He said he's got some GoPros, and he's going to look into some cameras and stuff, too. So I really want to grow that. I think you should. That would be awesome. If there's anything we can do to help to promote, or if you have any questions, because God knows I've made a lot of mistakes on Twitter. This guy knows. Yeah, if you have any equipment to donate, if you can send me some cameras, that would be great. As a matter of fact, we may have some things that we can donate.
154:13
Seriously, we don't have any. But I will take any free equipment. I'm going to donate Steve Beatty. So you're going to Austin, and you are on location. I'll bring some Malort. Your first dream. The whole bottle needs to be gone. Yeah, that'll be your last dream. See where it goes from there. You can keep your Malort over there. That's all right. You said you had a shot. Keep the Malort. You had Malort when you were up here, huh? I mean, we have Cheetos, and you have Malort. I feel like that's a pretty uneven thing. Cheetos. Oh, no, that's the top there. Yeah, no, that's good.
154:43
Outer space is crazy. Keep your grapefruit vomit juice over there. Rubber bands. Rubber bands and other stuff. Well, listen, thanks for calling in. Thanks for, like, frequently coming back because, again, I'm glad we didn't scare you off. Yeah, not yet. Not yet. We don't get much worse than what you've already seen. Yeah, you came in at the low. If I can handle you at Malor, I can handle you at the other level. That is absolutely correct. If you stick with us through our Malor, thanks. If you can't handle us at our lowest, you don't deserve it. She's already gone through the low points with this. I've seen your lowest. I've seen the Malora stream that you guys apparently newly deleted, so I think I'm okay. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. That's what I'm thinking, too. It's all up ill from here. Good luck with Bells and Chimes. Good luck with any streaming that you continue to do. Good luck with the location. And, again, if there's anything that we can do, let me know. And even if you want to jump on a special podcast and talk about anything that you're jumping on, we'd love to have you on the show. Awesome, yeah. Definitely. I'll talk to my cohort, Kelly, about that. that we can definitely get more and more word out about those. Absolutely. And I'll send you guys a shirt eventually when we get it going here. I will trade you shirts. Sure, trade.
155:54
That would be fun. Definitely. Okay. Do that. As long as they're new, not worn. No. Well, Steve might have cleaned up a beer that exploded on the table. I think Gary Stern put them all on. No, that's not right. But Lauren's Backbox Pinball Podcast, you can check Outer Spacey Chasey out on that show. And, again, that's kind of interesting because she's covering more of the women's scene as it pertains to pinball. And I think that's something that needs to be focused on and celebrated. So good times. Sure. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Be good. And don't be a stranger. And I hope to see you on Monday. Yeah. Monday? Yeah. We'll see you on Monday. Have a nice night, y'all. Thanks. Thanks for calling. See you. Bye.
156:37
Good times. I need to get down to Austin, man. She was so cool when I met her because she came up to the table. And I'm sorry. I thought this was Crystal calling. Oh, Crystal? Yeah, the bells and chimes. I know. Because you were just talking about bells and chimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was in Chicago and now in Texas. My bad, Tracy. I think Crystal's also in Texas. No, no, it's fine. I'm sorry about that. And I feel bad because I know Lauren does the Backbox of the Ball podcast. so my fault for it's Lauren Gray, not Lauren Frehley I don't even know where I got with Lauren Frehley in any event I appreciate the women's movement in pinball yeah man but on the same token man I'm just kind of, I'm sitting back and I'm waiting where there doesn't have to be a movement anywhere, it's pinball I mean let's I think there has to be an effort to not have, not that there's an effort to have segregation But I hope that at some point the men of pinball and the women of pinball don't feel that there's a rift, and the women of pinball don't feel that they have to have their own separate thing to be safe. That's sad.
157:53
That's even still something that's a point of contention. There's a lot of guys in pinball. I know. It's intimidating for some women to get in, and it shouldn't be. But it's not even an intimidation factor where I think some men just behave poorly. Oh, very much so. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like you don't want to subject yourself to that. That's shitty. So it is what it is. So all I've got to say is fuck those guys.
158:22
Attaboy. They should get out of the hobby. Later. There you go. Hey, new shirt at silverballswag.com. Anyways, nice hearing from Outer Spacey Tracy. We're all equals in pinball, says Head Boss Hogg. I see that. Autocorrect isn't helpful, except for Keith Elwin. Keith Elwin is not, he is like a freaking droid. I don't know what's up with him. He's a droid.
158:44
A madman. At some point, men should stop being an asshole. Until then, well, says Skip Manning. Yeah, you know what? It's outer spacey. Tracy's like, I shouldn't have to be told that I'm sexy while I'm playing a pinball machine.
159:02
That's shitty. That happens to me never. Oh, every time we get on a game. But I totally appreciate where that would be annoying. Like, I totally do. I'm like, oh, gosh. What am I?
159:12
That happened at Expo. Well, I was going to tell the quick story where Outer Spacey Tracy, we were at the media table, and she just kind of came up and she said hello. I didn't know who she was. I'd never met her before. I'm like, hey, how's it going? She's like, I'm Outer Spacey Tracy. I was like, oh, my gosh. So good times. Thanks for calling in, too. Yeah, seriously. That was awesome. And Outer Spacey Tracy was followed. And it wasn't on Twitter. So that's not good.
159:37
You should have called in the Meet the Media security team. We would have taken care of that. What? The Gillette's commercial.
159:47
Oh, man. I don't know. Skip the heavyweight chopper didn't do that. See you next time. All right, guys. We've got a couple more minutes. We're going to rock this thing down. I still appreciate the fact that you guys took the time to hang with us and chat tonight, man. Thursday?
160:03
Yeah, it's... Oh, name that song. First person in chat. Such a great song. An easy song to play acoustically.
160:28
Okay, now it's... Oh, nobody knew that before that? I thought we needed to see something before that. Plain name that tune here. What are you giving away? An explosive beer? Give it away a high five. And then Steve's going to try to open a beer over the Munsters Pro.
160:45
Night, Tiki. That's like a beer. Can't hear anything. That makes sense. Hopefully see you on a Monday, buddy. Hey, Outer Spacey Tracy with Wonderwall. Absolutely. Little Oasis, Wonderwall. Yeah, Wonderwall, Outer Spacey Tracy. What's the story, Morning Glory? Cheers. Here on the Flippin' Out Streaming Network. We're going to wrap it up. You got anything to say in closing here? It's been fun. Norrisky Pinball is chiming in now. I'm glad I swung by to check out the new studio now, too. Because I'll tell you this much. Me playing Munster by myself, this thing is just, look at my hands. I mean, it's just bright. It's like you're getting abducted by aliens. It's good for video. Well, that light just happens to be in that place. It's not good for vibes, though, man.
161:33
I'm like, oh, what are we doing? Some dissection here? What are we doing? Get the frogs going? Is yours sterile? We should have our lab coats on. Like I'm in school. We should have our OSHA blood-borne pathogen kits out. Clean up your beers, actually. We've got to change this, but everything else is looking great. It's hard to have nice lighting, but when you have to have studio lighting, It's a little bit different. But this is a little intense. I will absolutely. Yeah. This is the undiffused.
162:03
I put on a UV-80 block. Oh, I'm dead. I'm going to wake up red as a lobster. Have you been tanning in the garage? Like, no, I've been streaming. Streaming. Streaming, tanning. Same shit. Good times.
162:18
But, yeah, guys, thanks for tuning in. I don't know, Ken, thanks for having me on, dude. This was a great setup. I'm not having you on anymore. You're just part of the show, brother. So I'll say this. Thanks for showing up. I appreciate you. I know you put a lot of work into setting this garage up.
162:35
Could not have set the garage up or at least get the balls rolling without the Twitch donation. So, again, everything that went into Twitch, did not buy myself a dinner anywhere, did not spend it on incidentals. Myself and yourself and Bill, we put it back into streaming. We got our three streaming rigs that are just about ready to go. we got a little bit of stuff done in the studio so it's been almost lucrative because these are things we would not have been able to do on our own so all the support that the channel has received has been appreciated and it's going to go back into a better streaming experience so thank you guys it's very much appreciated who had the best game on Munsters tonight we both did when we split that first ball yeah I think I might have had a better game. Yeah, you did. You played better. Well, prior to you coming here, I think I put up like $77 million, which is not a good game. But it was player one on this slightly played monster. Yeah, I got the monster. The best game of monsters is the one you don't play. So skip Nanny. The cryptic skip Nanny.
163:45
You never know what's going to come out of his fingertips. This is true. As I glance over, we're going to run one more outro here for the Flippin' Up Pinball channel, and then we are going to end this stream.
164:00
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, do you have like a little sign-off call yet? Because when Bill's here, he's like, everybody have a good morning, good afternoon, good evening. No. I'll say, yeah, cheers, play pinball.
164:16
Cheers, play pinball. Play pinball, cheers. Maybe we'll switch it up. Maybe we'll mirror that. How about, hang on.
164:26
Here's to hope your pinball's as explosive as my beer. Because they've been exploding all over the place. Well, not when you've got Bon and Viv.
164:37
All right. No, man. When you come up with something. Yeah, come up with something. Because you need to call off. Because at this point in the night, I'd be like, hey, for Steve Beattie, I'm Ken Cromwell. And you'd be like, here's hoping your pinball's as explosive as my beer. and I'd be like, don't forget to take some time out of your day and play some pinball so long, everybody. Like, that's how we would end. I know, but that's not a good one. So you need to sign off. No, it's not a good one. Yeah, no, figure out a sign off. Easy peasy. Usually I just sign off just, peace! Or, or, I gotta go. When you open these beers, bro, you know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of, like, the vinegar baking powder lava experiment when you try to make a volcano. I get it at my house. Yeah, well. Every time I open them, I'm going to be like, where's the beer stink? Open it up on the Equinox where gravity is pulling its most. No. Because that stuff is going to come out. For Steve Beattie, I'm Ken Cromwell.
165:32
Yeah, if you guys want to see some exploding pinballs. Your beer is wet. Don't forget to take some time out of your day and play some pinball. Figure it out next week, guys. So long, everybody. Monday.
165:49
you
