    Yeah, and he played a show in downtown Aspen and then went to play the belly up until almost 1 a.m. and then jumped on a flight after being up super late and went and played SNL Saturday night. All in the same day. It was awesome. And holy crap, what a show. He killed it. I got higher than Godzilla's butthole, played Hogwarts Legacy, and went to see Cocaine Bear twice. Yeah, he is legendary. And Dice, I guess Godzilla's butthole is pretty high. Reaper, welcome.
    7:38
    What did you think of Hogwarts Legacy? And I also went and saw Cocaine Bear on Saturday night. I really thought Cocaine Bear was hilarious. It was very funny, very, like, there's pop-up scary moments, and overall pretty enjoyable. I wasn't going in there expecting one of the best movies ever, so yeah. Peter Steele saw Ant-Man. Peter Steele. I saw Ant-Man last weekend, and was pleasantly surprised despite such awful critic reviews. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I feel like the critics made it out to be, And I love the bad guy, who I know is also in the new boxing movie, Part 3.
    8:24
    Creed. Creed 3. So he's the bad guy in Creed 3. I'm kind of excited to see that. Despite the fact that I thought Creed 1 was great, Creed 2 seemed kind of derivative. And Creed 3 seems like, really, do we have to go through this fight again? But I'll see it because I like the bad guy. I adore Hogwarts Legacy. I'm on my second playthrough. I'm going to get through all four houses on a playthrough each, and then I'm going for 100% completion in the achievements. Yeah, the game is doing pretty well for itself right now.
    8:56
    Kiwi Frenzy watched three consecutive streams this month and sparked a watch streak. Kiwi, congratulations.
    9:04
    I don't know if you guys can see those notes, but that's great. Creed III, the bout for more money. Yep. Look at Kiwi. Okay, Dice, you can see that. Aw, Kiwi doing the thing. He's from my neck of the woods in Central Texas. Went to high school at a rival high school. Okay. Kiwi's a winner. Jonathan Majors. That's his name. Okay.
    9:27
    So what do we have in store for everyone tonight? Well, we made our way back. We're back in the car again. Or we're back on TMNT.
    9:40
    What is the... Oh, it's just pink. and TMNT I do not have yeah, higher peanut Twitch is announcing streaks there we go TMNT is kind of it's an interesting one I'm ready to play it again but it feels amazing by the way and this is if anyone here owns pinball machines I just want you to know the feeling that I'm guessing some of you have had some dice when you have so many It's a little different, but I have three completely functional, very fun pinball machines. I am ecstatic to move between each. Like, I wanted to play Mando tonight, but I kind of wanted to play TMNT. And I'm not done with Rush. Like, I still want to play that more, too. Reaper purchased their first new pin, the new Foo Fighters. Congratulations. Which model did you go with? The LE, the Premium, or the Pro? a big steaming pile of tmnt that's what's going on tonight even though i thought you were going to hit us with a misdirect and you were going to be showing off foo fighters dice yeah that's uh not me um premium reaper congratulations we get to see the playfield tomorrow so i'm holding off until i see the uh the the playfield tomorrow no le available at time of purchase okay now if foo fighters was was that bad for me like if foo fighters was the queen and queen was being done by a manufacturer i felt very comfortable with or if perhaps it was tenacious d um that that that that would be a purchase site unseen uh but i'm not there anymore dave grow could be, Dave Grohl could absolutely be in the Tenacious Deep end. I would imagine should be in the Tenacious Deep end.
    11:39
    That said, so this one is likely, what is it? Tanya Kleiss, Jack Danger on design and Zombie Yeti on the art. That has the makings of what hopefully will be a great pinball machine.
    11:56
    Also, he starred in a movie recently with Glenn Powell called Devotion. I was on the varsity lacrosse team with Glenn Powell. Quite wild. Oh, my God.
    12:05
    I'm assuming you're not talking about Dave Grohl, but you're talking about Jonathan Majors. Nice. Talking about Jonathan Majors. We brought it back around. We got there. Hard sell for me. I don't understand the Foo Fighters' love. Yeah, I get it. Foo Fighters, I feel like, if I had to guess, the Foo Fighters love is more about the person than it is the music, more often than not. Maybe not. Actually, I don't feel comfortable with that statement. I think for some people, Dave Grohl seems like a fantastic individual, like a truly awesome human. And the music is good. It's not bad. I just don't feel, it's like, I don't know, it's like CCR or something. Like, it's music that was there, and it is there, and there are better songs, but there are a lot of worse songs, and it's just rock? I don't know, it's like you can't go wrong, but also you could have taken a bit of a chance. There's nothing wrong with Foo Fighters. Like, CCR, they, sorry, I'm, hold on. Pinmonk Good Evening. Everyone says they want new unlicensed themes. This is that. that's that that's all everyone is is is hoping for is is unlicensed themes so you'd say they're not the best the best the best um uh reaper love foo fighters and zombie yeti did alien artwork and pass for roswell so show so i'm sold the ff number two band muse number one see reaper muse i could get behind Muse would be a sight unseen purchase.
    13:49
    Still think we need a big four thrash machine. Blink-182 is a pin I could get behind. And we talk about this, I feel like, all the time. But Beastie Boys, Mr. Hardluck, good evening and welcome, is another music pin that's like sight unseen purchase. And then you could go weird and go Pink Floyd. um pin monk i uh evidently the beastie boys are very hard to to work with on licensing um and stern has to be at a point right now after bond where they're just like we don't want to deal with any difficult licenses let's let's do easy for a few and we'll wait for elwynn to do another hard one uh green day got a musical but still aren't good enough for a pinball machine i i'd be fine with green day uh hollywood sure has made it seem like CCR soundtrack, The Vietnam War with Fortunate Son. Yeah.
    14:41
    Need a license. Steamboat Mickey, Black and White Machine, or E.T. That's interesting. Mickey. Can't see a Beasties game due to license. I know. Yeah, Kiwi. Yeah, exactly. The licensing on it is going to be tough.
    14:56
    Razor is here somewhere. Hi, Razor. Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Metallica exists. Anthrax did the music, by the way, Peter steal for um uh black knight sort of rage so we kind of have two of those four in pinball black sabbath now black sabbath a lot of people are calling for ozzy and black sabbath um five hit pinball welcome uh black sabbath pinball would be awesome hollywood polo my day was great thank you for asking uh i get to uh i get to announce tomorrow that i have a uh that i have a new position slash job at work and that's going to be tough i'm fairly embedded within my team and my and my developers and and my people and uh and i'm moving into a new position so i'm both looking forward and not looking forward to that yeah dice got it figured it all out got they eventually they didn't cave i just asked for something and they gave me the thing i asked for and they got it approved so i i i want to go into oh it was an arduous two weeks of back and forth negotiations it wasn't i'm like this makes sense and they're like you know what that makes sense okay let's make that happen um we do not have a mission impossible pin that i know of that would be really cool though um pin monk fun box number three i don't have a number three yet not yet they drove a hard bargain they had to take a bite out of your brim to make it to make it happen yep um let's see here i can't i can't help it with the five hit pinball i don't want to say it like the it's five hit that's from now on it's five hit i'm so sorry i i know i know what it is you want me to say when saying your name, but I don't feel comfortable saying it. So at this point, you're five hit. I hope five hit pinball that that's okay. And Hollywood Polo, thank you. Those four bands would make the big four of thrash. Okay, good. So now I understand. That was Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer, I think. The Last of Us could be a sweet one that calls back to video games while being a current hit. The five-hit combo? Yeah, five-hit's fine, I feel like. That's short enough.
    17:30
    Oh, you thought that fun box number three was the new position. Got it, got it. Yeah. Tiny Tim Pinball, when?
    17:41
    Tiny Tim? Nope. George, it could be pronounced Shy Tee Pinball. Okay, okay. Man, Peter Steele, here's the thing with The Walking Dead. I really do want The Walking Dead to be re-released and I want comic book artwork. And on top of that, I want it to be black and white with red blood. I feel like that is just... Don't change anything else, right? Like, updated cartoon or comic book artwork. Do the coloring right. and that, I feel like that would sell at least a couple thousand pins. I would like that.
    18:25
    The voice that never, oh, I know who you're talking about. That was a good rough description there. Oh my gosh, I can't think of his name, but he did an interesting mix of something about the rainbow, like a Wizard of Oz song and something else. Man, David Bowie pinball would be fantastic. Yeah, Pin Monk, comic overlay for the win. Even the new Mickey Mouse shirts are pretty funny. They give off Ren and Stimpy vibes. Nowadays would be a cool pin and bring in lots of people outside normal pinball people to purchase. Reaper, you're not wrong. I mean, I don't personally want Mickey, but Mickey is timeless. There's nothing wrong with Mickey.
    19:09
    I love the black light glow in Stranger Things. Could be cool on Walking Dead. Interesting, I like that. give me a DuckTales pin or give me something else uh what is it oh my god, TriBlender death there we go, give me TriBlender, give me death okay we're gonna do the thing we're gonna play some TMNT dice, thanks for the length of merch I will have a shirt at one point that says give me TriBlender, give me death or just TriBlender death I'm not exactly sure which, but if you are not familiar with TriBlend t-shirts, A, we sell only TriBlend t-shirts at this point if you're going to buy a shirt. But treat yourself at some point because it's, I mean, this is actually not TriBlend. This is SmartWool, which is very soft, but it's not as soft as TriBlend. and if you haven't experienced TriBlend you've been missing out and yeah it is very soft it's like you're wearing a shirt that is constantly caressing you throughout the entire day we do need Bruce Willis on a machine I mean I would do Die Hard I guess a Die Hard series would be really good but Bruce is in a tough place right now that seems like it would be a tough thing to make happen Peter Steele sorry you said it right there Die Hard machine. David Bowie pinball. You select the Bowie era at the start and can only modes based on the era, like Ziggy Stardust. Totally makes sense. Tri-blend is the most comfortable fabric I've ever worn. Each shirt has one of George's shawweet emotes on it. And if it could make this hideous chub look okay, imagine how great it'll look on you.
    21:01
    Reaper could get behind a Die Hard pin. The question is, Would Die Hard 1 be a Christmas movie in the Die Hard pin?
    21:10
    Sounds a bit of a pornographic shirt, George. I'm just saying, like, what if your shirts treated you as well as your significant other? That's making some pretty big assumptions about how your significant other is treating you.
    21:28
    Solid start. That's like, I like where the game's head is at. All right, we got to find that shot under the van down by the river.
    21:52
    Got it. It's very close to the tip of the flipper. Hey, Peter Steele, have a great night. Thank you so much.
    22:00
    You know what we need? A tri-blend quadruple set shirt. that feels like cheating with a shirt right because it's that good it feels it feels that solid all right what do we got to do we're in a mode let's hit that shot got to give it the old power nudge there just so that way we can trap up Don't start fights. Everyone knows Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Okay, Reaper. I mean, Bruce Willis says it is not a Christmas movie.
    22:40
    All right, can we backhand the left ramp? We can. Oh my gosh. So is Gremlins. Gremlins is definitely a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis has dementia. We can't believe him. That is so rough.
    23:04
    And he did say that. Okay, yeah, Reaper and Dice both jumping on. The statement was made at a questionable time. It was actually done at QDL Good Evening.
    23:15
    Batman Returns is a Christmas movie, okay? Oh my god, speaking about that. Yo Oh Keaton Michael Keaton is playing Batman again in the new Flash movie I wasn I really didn care about Flash And as much as, as excited as I am that, sorry, something Gunn, the new CEO of DC who's going to reboot the entire DC everything, it's not Jason Gunn, it's the guy who did James, James Gunn. That's his name. I feel like I have that thing where I've said it so many times. Now I've lost the... It's James Gunn. Anyway, the guy who did Guardians of the Galaxy, I hope he's making the right choice. And right now I'm leaning towards yes, I will go see The Flash, despite the fact that I haven't really enjoyed anything that's come out of DC with the exception of Shazam because Michael Keaton's in it. I'm excited. I'm excited again, I should say.
    24:32
    Alright, left ramp. Let's get there. We're gonna go under... I was going to say we're going to go under the van down by the river.
    25:08
    But the ball that was locked got popped out. So we're going to try it again. A little early. it's just a little bit... It's a little bit closer to the tip of the flipper. There it is.
    25:27
    Let's see here. I can't support... Yeah, I have heard some really bad things about Ezra Miller. But DC is backing him up with the hope that evidently he's taking things seriously.
    25:42
    Alright, got the twin Psy done. We're fine game. No reason to freak out here. Oh, man. There we go. We're going to try for this right orbit. Got it.
    26:18
    Not good. Really good. There we go. We're going to backhand that left ramp. We'll complete our second episode. Hey, Razor, thank you so much for hanging out.
    26:42
    Up and around. Too much. Wow. I feel like we might have a bit of a right lean there. I'm not saying that I climax when I watch the trailers, says Mr. Hardbook. The world does not need more Batman, says Higher Peanut. That's a bold statement right there.
    27:08
    The world always needs more Batman, says QDL in response. At least they haven't tried to CG Adam West into anything posthumously.
    27:20
    Sorry. Okay. And earlier morning, night all. Thanks for streaming, George. Razor, thank you again. Have a great night. They're far too busy being realistic to attempt to remind people Adam West Batman was a thing. Dice misses the comic book in my comic book movies. You know, that's interesting you say that, Dice. One of my favorite comic book movies is actually the Eric Bana Hulk. I feel like that is the most comic book-y film made so far that also was a well-done superhero movie.
    27:54
    What is the thought about the new Foo Fighters teaser? Kirk Hobbs waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow I think we get to see the play field, and that's for me where it's at. I don't dislike Foo Fighters. I enjoy most of the music. It's just not a band that has ever been high on my list. and with Galactic Tank Force coming out with JJP teasing Godfather which I have no intention of ever owning that really seems like a weird theme. There was a moment where Jersey Jack made it sound like they maybe got the license to Harry Potter and that's a sell the car in order to get whatever the best version of Harry Potter is and Dice Boo down with Godfather up with Scarface I think I don't understand at all. Like, it's so flabbergasting in my mind that JJP would pick up Godfather as the license. I just don't know what to do with it. Like, that at no point can I even think of how Godfather as a theme would work as a pinball machine.
    29:04
    Drain the ball, take the cannoli. Yeah. uh i'm still not buying godfather is not the code name for hp or matrix oh pin monk commenting on the fact that you you i'm assuming pin monk you think that godfather is actually the godfather nothing from jjp rumor mills sounds good outside of hp um i i mean it's no joke if it's if it's hp that's that's a i i sell i sell whatever i have to to if it's a thirty thousand dollar pinball machine i'm in uh maybe they'll get the license but got jp with it and make it its own thing uh pin monk oh you think it's not godfather jk is uh jk is too alive to support an hp does anybody care at this point about jk rolling like what what her opinion is on anything she is zero, I feel like, social backing right now whatsoever.
    30:04
    I need to book in services for my Australian distributor to ensure I get the best possible Harry Potter. It could be a Whitewood, and I would buy it, almost. It makes zero sense. No, no, no.
    30:18
    It makes zero sense for JJP to be making a Godfather. Godfather is a great movie. I never saw any of the sequels, and I only know it's great because everyone tells me it's great. Honestly, it did nothing for me when I was a kid, and it's, like, Casino and Heat and, um, man, what are some of the other good fellas? Like, those were the movies that I was old enough to appreciate. Not Godfather. So, evidently, I, they're targeting someone else. I don't know what to do with that. There's people that refuse to buy play HD Legacy because of the things she said. Yep, no, I understand.
    31:04
    But I feel like my big issue with that is separating the artist from the art. There's, like, you know, somebody mentioned Ren and Stimpy earlier, and that's another one that would be awful if... There's just a lot of situations where I feel like artists aren't always the best people. And that would suck because there's a lot of art we wouldn't be able to enjoy.
    31:31
    Pinmonk, exactly. The Michael Jackson conundrum. I still think they're trolling with that seat at the table teaser because that could still apply to HP. True. Is there nobody who lives close enough to JJP to run into the factory slamming picks as fast as they can to get the real details? Not to mention the rampant anti-Semitism built into the world and the story of that game. See, I haven't made it far enough, but I keep hearing about the anti-Semitism.
    31:56
    I'm interested to know more about that built into the game. Maserati is waiting on Thundercats. Can't separate it when you fund the politics with the purchase. I don't... Yeah, that's an interesting one, right? Like, specifically in that case, that would be... Oh my god, what's the name of the chicken place? Chick-fil-A. I literally struggle to buy chicken from Chick-fil-A because it's funding the politics. In the case of HP, I don't know that it's really funding anything at this point. Like I said, she's lost all social credibility. She's a bit of a... Sorry, what's the word for someone who... Nope, almost had it.
    32:46
    It's right on the tip of my tongue. A pariah, thank you. Kirk Hobbs, nailed it. Yeah, so she's a pariah right now. It's the whole goblin thing. People have been saying for a while that goblins are a parallel to... Oh.
    32:59
    Oh. Interesting. Yeah, I never really thought of that. Okay. You don't need credibility. You just need money and right-wing politicians. She does have... She has a lot of money.
    33:14
    And right. She has more money. You can't... I don't... She has silly levels of money. but that's an interesting statement higher peanut when you talk about the uh if you're funding the artist and the artist is somehow using those funds to push an agenda that's when it becomes a problem and i was just thinking of a perfect example which is the the chick-fil-a issue hey look a pinball machine thank you yeah wow we really got into social stuff there, but it's hard not to with Harry Potter. So, ball three.
    33:59
    Did not mean to do that. Fliptronic, welcome! Thank you for that tier one. 35 months! Oh, we're in a multi-ball.
    34:16
    Jordan, my hat's off to you. Thank you, and welcome. I am very excited to see what this play field looks like. I don't like... I enjoy Foo Fighters, but it is definitely not a take-my-money band for me. even though it's stern. And all the right people, I feel like, are on it.
    34:52
    So I am excited. I'm ready, and I can't wait to see it. Dr. Curly Tech, panic flip me in this economy?
    35:06
    One more month. Oh no, somebody just did... Tice! Gifting five tier one subs, Blue Hat Wearing Penguin, Sound of a Tone, DJ Roddle, Elagos Cheesy Buddha.
    35:31
    You guys each just got subs. Dice, you are fantastic. Thank you. Okay. Guys, I'd take my hat off if I could right now. I just saw... I saw just buy what you like, ignore other people's opinions, and what you think your money will be supporting, because in the end, you are .0001% of anything to that. Love your life, be happy, and handle what you can for yourself.
    36:13
    you ...JP Home Pim. He should be going nuts with the full Cornerstone bomb. Yep. Uh, no. What'd he call you for? You local Austin... Okay, so this is all on local Austin stuff. He called the buck getting in. A little trouble with saying he was selling them. No big issue. Okay.
    39:19
    I'm in a multi-ball right now. There we go. Man. Alright, so we're out of that multiball. Man, what a waste that was. Alright.
    40:08
    I'm going to try a little post-transfer here. up and in uh onida actually called me today they got 45 bucks in free play next time i go in that's awesome reaper also picked up uh the oh that's right yeah reaper you were talking about it and fliptronic i'm assuming i'm assuming you also picked up a premium oh right there yep signed up for a premium so crossing fingers for a good game yeah i'm i'm oh wow rain city pinball leroy jenkins they just ran in welcome rain city pinball my hat's off to you welcome how was your stream how are things what were you streaming and if you're just coming in uh from rain city we're playing a little bit of turtles uh chatting about uh uh you know pinball related things you know what else i want to do is turn the volume up just a hair oh there we go there we go um uh music could be any dude no problems with enya i think i think i'd be down with an enya a pinball machine. Just matters if it puts me in a happy, good-feeling mood while playing. Yeah. Yeah, I've done a lot of the band stuff. Iron Maiden was a struggle. Like, it had to turn off the music. Rush, turning it down is just fine. That game is just awesome. Like, I am still in love with Rush. Despite the fact that I find it frustrating every once in a while. Uh, Bloodhound Gang, that Bloodhound Gang would be awesome. Um, Retro game gal welcome to the stream cell processing welcome uh oh cell processing just ordered their topper topper for which game um yeah fliptronic that's the really cool thing is rush definitely has a uh like a like a momentum feel to it you start building you start uh getting awarded things that make uh multi balls easier and suddenly you feel like you're you're just you're just constantly bringing multiballs into different modes. The modes are tough.
    42:40
    And self-processing, commenting. I love Jack, you know that, but I just can't play a pin until I flip it. There's a lot of people who are like that, so I totally understand it. I just want to see the play field.
    42:53
    Ah, nice, self-processing. This topper is amazing. It really is awesome. Uh, it's got the little eye that moves around. It's great.
    43:07
    The only issue is that it resays TMNT, and then the, the, the art, the, the Translate also says TMNT right below it. So it says TMNT twice. But it's a cool topper.
    43:21
    Merch. Um, yeah, and that's the thing. Like, after, after Spooky, I'm, I'm so not ready to, to take a risk. that said it's a few exceptions i would take a risk for for hp and uh i will i will go sight unseen if it happens to be an amazing theme from stern uh retro game gal been saving forever used to be a t-shirt stickers are cool too though oh merch that's right retro game gal just redeem stickers retro game gal hit me up on discord or dm me directly i didn't no well yeah the Redemptions don't show up on the chat window that I have here, but it shows just to the left over here. But, um, RetroGameGal, either DM me on Twitch, or hit me up on Discord, one of the two, and let me know that you got stickers, and we'll take care of it right away.
    44:15
    Thank you, Dice. Been saving forever. Used to be a t-shirt. Stickers are cool, too. Hey, I, uh, I completely understand.
    44:25
    QueenDarkLady, how close are you? Why am I in Donatello? 140.9 says higher peanut oh my god I need Jackson Guy to hurry up QDL is at 124.7 oh higher peanuts higher peanut are you going to make me get an emote or do you want an emote?
    45:26
    I have a feeling there's going to be like four or five requests for tattoos very quickly. Alright, so there's our multi-ball. Full Tom Bombadil back piece. Hit a shot.
    46:22
    Cool. That works. Alright, so we need to go center, see if we can get Mondo. Yep. Really? Alright, that kind of sucks. Whatever. I'm going left ramp.
    46:52
    And I gonna try and hit that shot Got it Do not drain on me Don you die on me All right, what do we need? What do we need? We've got Donatello.
    47:23
    Oh, man. We got the Mondo jackpot eventually. I have not figured out where that shot is on the flipper. I know it's earlier than I keep flipping it. I would make you get a tattoo of egg whites.
    47:45
    What was it Becca said about the egg white drink? It was okay? Was it that it was okay? higher peanut i don't know i never thought i'd get this far same here same here it's okay yeah um get the uh get the same jar jar binks tattoo from fanboys movie seth uh seth roger character oh wait fanboys uh seth rogan not seth roger and uh jar jar binks tattoo i don't remember the Jar Jar Binks tattoo, but Fanboys was great. Have you tried the Scandal re-rendered? Yes, I have. Cell processing. It's fantastic. I haven't tried it, though, with Insider Connected.
    48:33
    Okay. I need to get another drink. So we're gonna go to the screen. That way you can see the wonderful background that is the background while I walk over here and go grab another drink.
    48:49
    Wait, what if the movie sucks? Oh, I'm assuming that was a reference to the Jar Jar Binks thing. Who am I paying on PayPal right now? why did i i just paid google three dollars i got nothing uh oh right when so he got the tattoo before seeing episode one got it retro game gal thank you yeah there's lots of banners we've got arcade machines i just got a bookshelf over there for some board games. Now I actually have a table so that way Zoe and I and others can actually play board games. The Google tax, right? Yeah, just randomly. It's like $3. What are you gonna do?
    49:55
    What you gonna do? Google charge for extra shipping weight on the real doll, lol. What's the real doll? David Cross is going to be in the new season of Umbrella Academy? Really? huh okay I could you could put anybody into Umbrella Academy including David Cross why am I involved too no I mean David Cross is already in all of our dreams and on George's face thank you so is Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman. I did hear about that today. That was in my Facebook feed.
    50:46
    Wow, that was very quick. Alright. Nope. Too early. Too early to complete the training. Too late. There we go. Got it.
    51:12
    David Cross should have been MODOK. I don't know enough about the comics to know if MODOK should have been a cooler character, but he was pretty awesome in Ant-Man. I was pretty happy with MODOK.
    51:28
    Seems like the kind of character, though, that could have been more. I don't know what I'm doing here right now.
    51:44
    All right, backhand. There we go. Making all the backhand shots. Got it. And... Try it again. Get up there.
    52:11
    Darn it. We're going to go left ramp. Totally fine. And let's backhand. Got it. Blue hat wearing penguin, welcome to the stream. Sorry to say, I'm looking forward for more Sony Spider-Man stuff than the MCU. you. That's okay. Spider-Man's pretty good. Tom Holland seems great.
    52:53
    Got it. Okay. Get in there. Go somewhere. We're fine. We're all fine here. Go to your home. Also, reverse.
    53:17
    I think I want it to go that way. Oh, you guys get to see it move now like that. That's right. I put the camera over there. Get...
    53:31
    All right, there we go. And there it is. Found the shop. I know I know where it is. He's the ultimate weapon. What's not to love? Sorry to... Oh, right. And all I can hear him right now is in Small Soldiers. You put munitions, chips, and toys? Yes.
    53:57
    Small Soldiers was such a good movie. darn it it's here's a good question so is Small Soldiers has it been riffed yet?
    54:15
    uh, Fliptronic, I have spent about maybe an hour and a half playing Hogwarts Legacy, I wish I had more time uh, have not had the, I have prioritized other things, I should say. It's not that we don't have time. It's that we prioritize other things.
    54:44
    Please don't... Ugh. Ruined it. Yeah, it's very cool. Oh, you're only at 60 hours. I will never let you go I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you forever Even if I'm saving you someday I will never let you go I'll stand up with you forever Man.
    55:45
    There's that. Come on, give me that Mondo jackpot. Mondo, Mondo, Mondo, Mondo! Oh! I think we got a double there. And.
    55:57
    We don't have 2x running. Wow. Alright, you are not allowed to drain. Do not drain. Alright, what do we need here? We need to backhand a left ramp, forehand that ramp, and we're going to post-transfer,
    56:42
    hit it right under the van down by the river. River? River. I was amazed at how dark some of the storyline was. I don't think I paid attention to NPC dialogue as much as this game. Okay, we've got an extra ball.
    57:07
    Really? Control. I'll take it. Got it. And left ramp. no idea what all that was about that was just crazy uh let's see here um also seeing muse tomorrow night and evanescence opens for muse congratulations fliptronic that sounds like an amazing show um i know that feeling rpgs normally are not my thing but it's been a delight oh this song reminded you got it was there a falling out for pinball companies and dreamworks because outside of the one Shrek, nothing since. Good IPs, Kung Fu Panda, how to train... Oh, man. How to train your dragon, I think, would actually be a really, really good pinball machine.
    58:02
    Would have been better than Toy Story, in my opinion. meh uh i think i could get down with uh how to train your dragon pin h-t-t-t-y-d i think that was the start of the pin decline and then movies stopped getting pins with releases yep that's too bad too i mean shrek was a was a re-theme uh from family guy and it's fun I have played a decent amount of Family Guy is a really enjoyable pin that layout is awesome wow that's how you put the ball directly into the out lane I'm flipping a little early
    59:16
    very fast in my most humble of opinions what is that uh jgp pirates is family guy 2.0 let me think about that for a second i think i like that somebody somebody just just did the hero thing a second ago hey uh dunk me thank you very much for that follow and welcome family guy didn't capitalize on the show's comedy rick and morty excel at this it did it did rick and morty was a lot of fun and the integration with the show was top-notch.
    60:05
    Oh, it was the code, unfortunately, on Rick and Morty was the tough part. That wizard mode was ridiculously unsatisfying.
    60:21
    I really enjoyed the layout. Alright, so we have a multiball ready, and we're in a mode. Let's do it.
    60:32
    What? We brought a multiball into a mode? Alright, so we beat Shredder. And just get there. There we go. All right, now we're going to do a fun thing here.
    61:33
    If you're ever on TMNT and you have Jack Pato Grande lit, I suggest you get two balls over on the left.
    61:44
    Just like that. And you do that. Don't drain the ball, though. Like, if you could do that without... Wow, double draining? Totally worth it.
    61:59
    or triple draining even. We'll do it without all that stuff. Praetor Zero, TMNT theme song stuck in my head. That's why I don't play it. That's why I play my own music and disable TMNT. Otherwise it gets stuck. Have they since updated it? I haven't played much Rick and Morty. I know Eric kept updating it, though. I'm not sure. That would be, I'd be really interested to know if there were any changes to the wizard mode on that.
    62:35
    Fliptronic, I don't know. Maybe. We'll see. I do get a new pinball machine, a new old pinball machine, I get I think this week at some point. so I've got to get rid of a game if not two because I'm also right now stars is technically I sold stars I just need to contact the buyer and see if they're still interested I totally dropped the ball with Scott and it's somebody I've bought and sold games with before amazing person and I just got busy the past three weeks and I have not followed up in the least. So I got to send a note off to Scott tomorrow and see if he's still interested. But either Stars or Rush, I think would be the two games to potentially go. And if that's the case, then yeah, then I would drive out to Texas with those.
    63:42
    Higher peanut. RNM is kind of high and dry for changes since the network got a new owner and stopped playing ball. Ah. um yes fliptronic i have rush le it's so funny because actually i i don't want to get rid of rush i think i'd like to keep rush i just want a pro i don't need a i don't need a premium or an le hmm this by the way tmnt is going swimmingly this evening
    64:17
    Up and around. There it is. Premium plus cash. Maybe. Thing is, I really don't even need the premium. I have played the Pro and the Premium, and to me, the Pro is perfectly fine.
    64:58
    Okay. I'll take that. That was fine. Maybe, though. Fliptronic, let me see. Honestly, I never even thought of that as an option, so I've never really considered a Premium in cash.
    65:15
    Yeah, exactly. The pro is fine. I would probably... While I was out at District 82, I got to play a decent amount of... No, was it District 82? No, it was while I was out in Indiana. uh i got to play a decent amount of uh oh my god what's it called give me a second because i just need to trap up i obviously cannot think and do things uh james bond pro i kind of there's more flow in that game than i feel like i i actually got to enjoy now the big issue is that shot between the ramps doesn't always clearly make it through the top that it's supposed to orbit, I think, more often than it does. So if I could fix that, or I got to play on a pro where that was fixed as opposed to another pro that I played that wasn't as bad, or it wasn't as good, I think, assuming the rule set gets where it's supposed to go, I think that would be a fun pin. I don't know if that's a long-term owner, though. Mullet over. I need to bring a trailer anyway, so I can always bring it along. Okay, cool. We'll do. I did not like 007 when I played it. It was bland. Reaper, there's no question. It's definitely not the most amazing of pins.
    66:49
    Wow. That just flipped right off the edge there. So I'm going to try and get a Foo Fighters LE tomorrow after the countdown. Anyone got tips not to miss it? Oh my gosh.
    67:01
    Lord BBH. Welcome. uh it usually sells out in seconds lord bbh uh my my hats off to you welcome thank you for bringing 179 beautiful individuals over to the stream uh y'all if you're you're joining us just now uh we're playing uh some teenage mutant ninja turtles and uh chatting about pinball machines um lord bbh how is the stream how are things uh reaper uh i don't think it i don't think you actually get to see a countdown it's just a time um it's on the insider access page on stern site uh and it goes on sale sale tomorrow at 11 a.m central we're talking about right now is the new Foo Fighters pin that was announced. The LEs go on sale tomorrow directly from Stern's website at 11 a.m. Central. Well, well, well. If it ain't, don't panic, Flip. And this is my first time to see you stream. Hey, Morton Martin, welcome to the stream.
    68:10
    Nice. I heard they were doing more rock tables. They are. They definitely are. They just did Rush, which I have over here.
    68:18
    Fantastic pin. Amazing rule set. wonderful kind of rehash of an existing layout, which was X-Men. And what else? Queen just came out from a different manufacturer. I got to play that a little bit. I'm really excited to play it again because it was super floaty and the rule set was awful and the play field was just like, they had the game set up at Expo last year to not be as playable as it should. You only got two balls instead of three. I can't say enough negative things about that entire experience.
    68:55
    Exactly. Fliptronic. It is technically a pinball machine. It just sucks that it happens to be a non-standard manufacturer who got the license to what I would argue should be one of the greatest pinball machines ever made. Queen is such a fantastic license.
    69:13
    Queen is one step above Spinal Tap. Big disappointment. in. Fliptronic, there's, for whatever, Jordan, I know that you can't wait to play Spinal Tap. For some reason, that makes a lot of sense. I get it. I completely understand.
    69:30
    Morton Martin, know you from Lick Arcade. Well, hey, welcome. Any ideas what the price of Foo Fighters LE? My guess is it's going to be like 13k or 12.9 or something like that. On a scale of Thunderbirds to Bond. How much of a disappointment. Well, thank you. Let's see here. What do we got? Ball two. Okay, so walking kind of people through what's going on here right now, I want to get into an episode, and I want to fill up the bottom of this board. You see a light here and a light here. Well, there's an unlit one here, here, here, here, and here. So I have four unlit episodes, five because I can't count, and I have one that's flashing over here. So I'm about to start episode three. There eight episodes total and to qualify or light an episode to start I need to hit right ramp left ramp So let do that There right ramp and let see if I can on the fly hit the left ramp We going to trap up and now hit it under There it is. Under the van, and that actually starts our episode. So now you can actually see the episode starting. In this case, I'm fighting Slash. Now, when in the episode, there's certain things I have to do. The cool thing is I timed starting that episode. obviously on purpose with starting a multiball. So I'm starting Ninja Pizza Multiball while in the mode, meaning I'm going to have... Oh, I have lots of gummy bears. I'm going to have, I think, eight balls. This is going to be a very wild multiball with the hope that we just hit all of the shots.
    71:15
    And every shot we hit, hopefully, is a mode-based shot, and very quickly we complete this mode just by having fun and being kind of wild.
    71:32
    And at some point, when this flashing light under the flippers stops flashing, I need to play a little bit safer.
    71:51
    All right. It's capturing a bunch of balls over there. I've got my 2x running. I've got an extra ball. I am on my last shot for the mode, so I only need one more, and I've got four balls stuck on the right flipper. So I've got to try and get one of these off so that way I can make a shot.
    72:13
    That did not work out well. So how's that? There we go. Got it. We completed and beat Slash. Now I'm going to try and hit the middle shot. Totally got there.
    72:47
    Okay. This is great. we've got Jack Pato Grande. I'm going to try and move another ball over to the left flipper.
    72:58
    Just like that. And then hit it up there. I've got Jack Pato Grande. Oh no. That's crap. And I'm going to hit that shot.
    73:27
    I've had better. And now let's see if we can hit that extra ball underneath the van. We technically got there. We got our extra ball. I think we got another jackpot there. Tenacious D, make it easy for the... Oh, wow. I don't know where the conversation was going there. I'm going to have to get caught up. But Tenacious D would definitely be a bit of a dream pin theme for me. Man. Alright, what else do we need? We're out of that mode, so we completed our third mode, and now we're ready to start our fourth. We need more Foo Fighters music, George. We should just have a week of Foo. Meta Knight Men, welcome to the stream.
    74:13
    Let's see here. Scrolling back up. I gotta catch up now that we're outside of that. Pinball Geek, it should be $13.2-ish, based on the pricing my distributor gave. Okay. Eight Balls, that's more than I could ever handle. That's turning it from Pinball into Pachinko. Yep. That was... The Eight Ball is kind of interesting. And that's one of the big differences, or a difference, between the Premium and the Pro version of Turtles.
    74:40
    Is the Pro version only has six balls. The Premium has eight. Foo Fighters is going to be a story game instead of collect the members cliche. what other modern bands can they do this with? Gorillas?
    74:53
    Dunk me. Gorillas would just be fantastic. I think Gorillas might be an in. Sight unseen. Technically any if someone is talented enough at storytelling. I was shocked how well the Weird Al Natural History Museum theme worked.
    75:10
    Let's see. Daft Punk has an already established story. Daft Punk, well, and Daft Punk also got Tron. Now, that said, I would have no issues whatsoever with Daft Punk, a dedicated Daft Punk machine.
    75:26
    Could have multiple the movie Interstellar Tron. George, I was playing some Marvel Snap. What did I miss? You have missed some progress.
    75:36
    We're about to hit our fourth mode here, which means once we complete the fourth mode, we will unlock the mini wizard mode. So let's see if we can do that.
    75:46
    Let's see if we can unlock with these button presses. Another extra ball. We did not. We also have a multi-ball here on the right ramp. So, let's hit left ramp.
    76:03
    I can't believe that just happened. That was supposed to... I gave it the nudge. The power nudge. It was supposed to jump over to the other side. I want a Daft Punk with their helmets as a topper. Yeah, I mean, the helmets obviously would have to be in there. somewhere. I don't know exactly the best way to do that. Maybe, oh man, bring back, uh, Darth Gorgos, thank you very much for that follow. Uh, maybe bring back the, uh,
    76:28
    um, sorry, the talking heads from the construction pin. Uh, you could do that with the, with the, with the two face masks. Uh, I wanna, oh, yeah. With their helmets as a topper, got it. What collection level are you? Oh, I would adore an Interstellar 5555 table. and Marvel Snap is dope.
    76:51
    Sound of a Tone, thanking for the gifted sub from earlier this evening. Also, I am... By the way, if y'all are streaming at all, and I am in love with this new microphone. This is... We're combining a mixture of the NVIDIA background sound processing removal, or sound removal, but also I just got the what is it the baby bottle blue microphone this microphone is fantastic it is awesome like I have gone back and listened to it I have tried I want to say about like four or five different microphones recently including like super cardioid the card I don't know how to say that word but super cardioid the Um, the, uh, I did an AKG 420. I have two of the SM7Bs. Fliptronic, the problem with the, with the, um, the SM7Bs is you have to eat the microphone. If you are not talking directly into the SM7B exactly like this, uh, you are not getting the quality that, that, that you could be getting. It really is like, it's a, it's a singer's microphone as opposed to this. I can be back here. I can talk from a comfortable distance. It'd be better if it was actually aiming at me right now. I moved the pin at kind of the last second. But the AKG 420 was decent. It just didn't have the same warm tones that this one has. Now, I just hope the young new designers at Stern rip away the boomer bands from Gary's hands for a while. They're going to have to experiment with the hip-hop table soon.
    78:37
    Just got to put in the right settings for the Shure. Yeah, okay, so you could, I think a lot of it has to do with the gain. And I was talking with Jason from Pinball Party, and he was suggesting a tool. He never actually sent me the link on it. But basically it was like not using the mixer to up the gain, which increases the static-y sound on it, Um, but, uh, but doing something else in it and, uh, it like powers the gain from an actual device. The problem is I need to do all of that from, uh, from a DC battery at like five volts. Um, cheesy Buddha, a Wu-Tang pin ain't nothing to F with. Yep. Uh, welcome.
    79:25
    That's what, okay. The inline booster. Yeah, exactly. so I would need a battery operated inline booster or one that's that could be powered by USB and that was the issue with that there's nothing wrong I mean don't get me wrong the Shure SM7B is the industry standard so no problems whatsoever and the cloud lifter yeah that's it for the Shure and thank you actually like I could not for the life of me remember and And I never got the follow-up reminder so that way I could go pick it up. But what was really cool is I got to go... I didn't realize this, but what is it? Guitar Center. I went to Guitar Center and they had like 30 different microphones all wired up with different headsets. And you could try all of the different microphones. Everything. They have the Shure SM7B, and you could just hear yourself talk through the headphones. And I spent a good hour and a half going through everything at Guitar Center and trying out all the different mics. And at the end of the day, it was the baby blue bottle that I feel like was doing cool things to my voice that my voice doesn't naturally do. Wait a minute, are you wearing a Cookie Monster baseball cap? Yes? yes yes lone mouse wolf uh reaper m&m would be that's also a sight unseen purchase um an m&m as opposed to i feel like logic um yeah just thinking of who else like a wu-tang pin would be fantastic but man there would be a lot of wearing. Um, thank you. Exactly. Cookies. Uh, someone needs to try shock. Oh, fliptronic. Well, that's the thing is I bought an amazing, uh, NTG four plus shotgun mic. Um, yeah. And I had it on the FX three. Now what's interesting is what I was trying to achieve is, uh, it's battery operated, which is the reason I went with it. It's a, um, it's a road NTG four plus I think was the, of the model and I kept it. So it's a great microphone and I think it will be awesome. The problem is, is that I was routing it through the camera and then, um, and I couldn't get the sound quality where I wanted it as opposed to routing it directly through the mixer. I just never tried that because I picked up the shotgun mic at the same time as the AKG. The AKG is out in my car right now because I'm returning it because I fell in love with the baby blue bottle, but I'm keeping the shotgun because it was really cool how I could be like here and you could hear me pretty well. And as I got closer, it was great, but the second I moved away, like the shotgun mic is a, if there's any actual audio engineers out there, feel free to correct me, but it is a super cardioid. And I don't know if I'm even saying that word right, but there's a cardioid which creates like a bubble. And that bubble is out here with a little reverse mini bubble on the backside. And that's where it picks up sound. The shotgun mic, on the other hand, has a much more directed long bubble where it grabs sound and a very small bubble on the backside as well. So it was cool. It grabbed sound really well as long as I was standing here. But if I moved off to the side a little bit, the sound quality got crap. which I think is fine. New product idea. Engineer a mic with range sense that adjusts auto-gain the further you get from it. That would be really easy to do. Great idea. Really easy to do with a sensor. Like, if it literally just knew where you were at any point and automatically adjusts the gain.

    Went through a weekend haunted house at Universal and it was imaginative. They could pull it off. Okay?
    83:43
    Yeah? Alright, I'm switching back over here. Shoot. How do I file patents? Go with a patent attorney.
    84:01
    Do not start the multiball. Got it. So we're going to start the episode. And then we're going to start the multiball.
    84:16
    and Jenga. Somebody just did something. Bodega Justice, thank you so much for that follow. And Mr. H, welcome.
    84:46
    All right. Whatever. We've got Mondo Jackpot. I've got to hit this 2x. Totally got it. Got it. That sucks.
    85:13
    Is it going to give me the Jackpot to O'Grande? No. Alright, we got our battle again. That one worked. Alright, so we're still in our mode. We didn't really do much while we were in our mode there.
    85:53
    So I'm going to try and hit the... Something. Alright, control! Thank you. Whew! Alright. Alright, we're going to hit our April hurry up here.
    86:30
    And then we're going to try left ramp. Got it. And now we're ready for our mini wizard mode. Got it.
    86:43
    Wow, my favorite All-American Reject songs. Thank you! Uh, Vans Checkered, Side Rail Armor. Might have to homebrew that one.
    87:07
    Got it. Try that right orbit. Really? Alright, alright. So there goes episode 4. We need right ramp, left ramp.
    87:33
    Just like that. I feel like every time they say, oh, wow, the episodes are lit. Does anyone else think of the episodes having drank a bit too much?
    87:52
    And they have to leave the party early? Makes me... Oh, a warp tour pin? Yeah, with the checkered vans. Old school. Hollywood, thank you. We're making a little bit of progress.
    88:12
    That's what I call music, Finn. Okay, try right orbit. Nope, that did not help. Nah, I go to It's Lit Fam. Okay.
    88:41
    A Now Table would be a nightmare to license unless the stars in the eye is all the musician, right? Like, just make the pin and expect to get all the licenses, kind of like they did with those two massive concerts happening in Las Vegas. They just put big bands on the show and assumed the bands would jump in without actually getting confirmation. Are you tempted to get your name down on any of the new pins announced recently? Pinberg.
    89:07
    The one... Okay, so we get to see Foo Fighters tomorrow. We'll see about that. I've had my name in on Chicago Gaming Company's Pulp Fiction now for a while. So I'm still waiting for that one to get released. The one that intrigues me the most is honestly Galactic Tank Force. I feel like Hot Wheels was a great pin. I just couldn't get into it at all. But this next game is done by Nordman, whose layouts I love. They're typically very flowy. They have some great shots that hit the sweet spots on the flipper for me. So, yeah, I may be in on Galactic Tank Force.
    89:52
    They're still making that Pulp Fiction. That's the thought. Whether or not it actually happens, I'm on the list.
    90:00
    Got it. Let's see on the fly right ramp. There we go. Oh, it went the wrong way. darn it yeah that thing's been stuck in development hell for a while now yep uh dunk me so you can get on a list for any pin it just depends on the distributor so uh i use flipping out pinball and if you contact zach you can say any theme you want to and he starts up a list and puts your name if the list doesn't already exist for that particular theme and if that theme comes out, you're at the top of the list for the particular version you wanted. So I'm in on Venom, Harry Potter, Pulp Fiction, and when they do the rerun of Stranger Things, I'm in on a premium Stranger Things.
    91:18
    Hey, you're going the wrong way. Follow the arrow. Yes. and everyone we're done we're at the end and I get to take my kiddo to breakfast at 7am tomorrow she'll be up at 6.30 I will be up at 6.55 and throw clothes on and go drive her down the street to the original pancake house is it yeah the original pancake house so that way my kid can get a decaf coffee which she just loves whenever we go out to breakfast and a special apple pancake yeah so thank you Morten Martin thank you guys have fun let's go find someone to send all this raid love off to and we'll be back on tomorrow night normally stream Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays I think tomorrow might be some Mandalorian next to us and then Thursday we'll flip back over to Rush and at some point maybe this week we'll be getting a new old pin. So I'm excited to see what happens there. I've got a quick video you guys can check out while I go find someone to raid. Have a great night. Be safe and looking forward to seeing you all again. Thanks.

    Are you familiar with the Pinball Network? If you're not, maybe if you just give me a moment to speak directly to you about what the pinball network is and what it could mean to you. The pinball network is a collection of content creators across multiple media. It's YouTube, that is podcasting, that is Twitch streams. Okay, I'm talking to you. And they do it out of the goodness of their beings, out of the goodness of their souls, out of the goodness of pinball, to further pinball as a hobby and the community. That is the reason they do the things they do. They do it for you. So if you're not familiar with the Pinball Network, you should be. I suggest you check out all of those people who are a part of the network. You should give each of them a follow if what you're interested in is soul-enriching pinball-related content.
