Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Live, and we have a show for you this evening. online with me right now I have Surreal and Dice. Gentlemen, how are you doing? Doing well. Doing just okay. How awesome is it when I say instead of asking specifically I just throw the question out there and then you guys have to figure out who talks first so that we don't talk over each other. You're nailing it, by the way. Yeah, we figured it out. you guys figured it out i like it also we have a stream guest tonight who wanted to call in to be a part of the conversation um but decided that was too difficult so hi stream guests hello uh we have uh jayzebel from twitch aka janelle who'll be playing jurassic park with us tonight and Iron Fox, yes, and Chaotix, and is it HansatX or is it HansaTX? Either way, welcome to the stream. Hansa, like, Hansa transmits? Hansa what? Or maybe it's a laughing NSA transmitting. Like, ha, the NSA transmits. I'm not sure. It could be many different things. HansatX. Darn it! I missed it! I missed it! Jeff! We were just talking about you a minute ago because we were purposefully mispronouncing names. And she off came in. Jeff, good evening and welcome. So, yeah, tonight we are going to be doing things. We also have some great questions of which I looked at the questions thinking to myself, oh, great, I can prep. but I said in the notification, nobody knows the question. So I'm looking through them at the same time other people were talking and realized that I probably shouldn't be looking at this. So I thought I'd, yeah, I, I, it's a good thing that I ignored it because I'm going to read the first one here and we're starting off with the top one. Chaotix, drop it a hundred bits. Tears to the good show. Starting it off right. I'm also going to turn up that music a little bit. We've got the midnight playing in the background. All right. This one's going out to surreal and dice first. I like what I did there. What is the best prank you ever played on someone else? And it says you ever played, but I'm actually okay if it was an amazing prank played on you. Or maybe you just participated. Okay. Oh, this one's easy. Okay, dice, go ahead. Yeah, you go ahead. For our senior prank, we went to a local farm and we borrowed a pig, loaded it up with laxatives and then locked it into our principal's office. Oh, no. Wow. I'm sorry. Pig principal laxatives. Those are three key words. I feel like that would get you expelled from any school. Did you get expelled? There's a senior prank. Oh, there's a senior prank every year. They couldn't expel me. They didn't want to deal with me for another year. Oh, wow. I forgot about the senior prank. We usually stole somebody else's mascot. I think that was it. I don't know. It was a really competitive school, and it was Catholic. So, to real, do you have any particular prank? I'm sitting here realizing that I've apparently led a meaningless life, because I don't think that I've ever pranked anybody. Okay. Okay. You know what? The closest thing was that one time at a bowling alley, I convinced the waitress that we had gone to school together. for like 15 years. Okay, kind of loving that one. Let's see if this turns on. It does. We're going to move over there. Janelle, do you have a prank for us? Mine are much more mild. I filled my boss's office with balloons and wrapped all her stuff in wrapping paper for her birthday. and then I, oh, I did wrap my other boss's car in saran wrap. Okay. With his keys, also. Were inside the car? The saran wrap. Okay, in the saran wrap. That's not too awful. So what are you making for us over here? I made a lavender empress gin and tonic, which starts out as, like, super blue, but then as soon as, like, the affinity or something, I don't know, I'm not a chemist. You didn't do that on camera? I did it before. Okay. Do you want one? I would like one. Can we actually watch the process? Yeah, what's your flavor? Oh, so over here we've got agave syrup, triple sec, grenadine, simple syrup, and then lavender, huh? Yep. Can I do maybe like a splash of grenadine with a splash of lavender? Sure. A gren-lavender? I mean, like what is a splash of you? Lavendine. There we go. this is hurting my brain because the uh the left camera is flipped you like that i've got two cameras looking at the same thing and the one you're married not the same it's like slightly similar okay yeah good good splash there with the lavender i feel like lavender needs a bit more yeah yeah there we go there we go okay all right crap you probably should have done the empress first so that way it didn't accidentally change the color maybe we'll see what happens so this goes in blue. Alright, it didn't, it kind of changed it a little bit, but watch what happens when you put tonic in there. My guess was it'll get fizzy. No, it goes pink! It's like the pea, what is that, pea flower? Tea? Yeah, yeah, I know that. Yeah, that. So anyway, if you're looking, so tonight, by the way, is all about gins. Empress gin turns a different color when you pour tonic in it, and then we have two more gins to try out this evening. We have gray whale gin, and this is made with juniper, limes, fir tree, sea kelp, mint, and almonds. And then this, which is my new favorite thing ever, called monkey 47. And this is just flavorful enough to drink gin straight. Okay, I'm going to go check out that. Ryan Reynolds is sobbing somewhere. Yeah, aviation is great. Don't get me wrong. Aviation is awesome. But it doesn't have a lot of flavor is the biggest issue with it. And yes, chaotics. This is a total, we have a fun, dedicated drink set of cameras for this evening. This stream became interesting with audio. D-O-H-G. What is that? Dorkstar, by the way, welcome to the stream. What is D-O-H-G? I do have a second prank I could offer, George. Please, and then I've got a prank as well. At my old office, the one where I was very shortly a software developer for April Fool's Day, I brought in homemade donuts, but I had filled them with mayonnaise. Oh. Oh. What's wrong with that? Yeah, we're... Apparently people don't enjoy that. Who knew? Okay. I know. Is there a butterfly pea flower or something like that? I've heard it changes blue or purple. Retro Game Gal. That's exactly what we were talking about. We don't know the exact name. Somebody's going to have to Google that one. But it's a, yeah, something with pea flower or pea or something like that. And it changes color. Oh, are we doing prank stories? Yes. Retro Game Gal has one. I have one. Worked in a restaurant. Let's switch this back over here. worked in a restaurant for years and we had whipped, whipped butter that we served with bread. After being whipped, it was light in color and looked like French vanilla ice cream. Used to be a thing to offer a big ice cream-sized scoop full of that with chocolate sauce on top to new hires after their first ship. So your turnover rate must have been very high. Right, right, yeah. If that was a common prank. um okay I've got one as well uh has anyone ever noticed how often there is a um uh a window directly in front of a sink now I don't have one here I actually have an opening where a window could go but it's not an actual window uh but typically as I grew up all of my houses had that big window with the sink and there was usually blinds and if you pulled the blinds all the way up, you'd have an extra long cord hanging very close to the sink. Now, there's always that gun that, um, next to a sink that, like, you can press it and it shoots water. I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with that. By the way, Iron Fox would totally try whipped butter with chocolate sauce. Yeah, I'm, it kind of sounds amazing. I, I know initially, like, it would be disconcerting or, a bit jarring to expect ice cream, but it's butter, but at the same time it's butter, right? Like, what's wrong with that? It's great with mayo donut. Oh my god, mayo donut. That is disgusting right there. I'm just imagining biting into like a Bismarck. Mayo donut is really the good one. Dark starts out, mmm. Nope, nope. I think next time I'll use Miracle Whip. So, I remembered it was April Fool's Day. about midday, and I'm like, I got this. I'm going to go pull that cord down, wrap it around the gun, so that way whoever turns on the sink gets sprayed with the water, and then you have to like dodge the water to get in there and turn it off. Well, that day, which happened to be a Sunday, was totally fine, but except nobody went to the sink and turned on the water, and I'm like sitting there watching and waiting. I'm like peeking over the couch from the kitchen, just waiting for someone to do it, was it the cleanest household. So there was nobody actually using the safer water all day. And by late night, I had kind of forgotten about it because I was playing video games. So my mom wakes up early the next morning after doing her hair and getting dressed and ready to go to work and drop me off at school because I went to school an hour away from where she lived. And it was early and she like had just sipped the first sip of her coffee all over her face and her work clothes. And I was like, I think maybe the one time my mom hit me was out of pure frustration. And I still look back at that day like best prank ever for me. And I know it wasn't great. It's definitely not giving laxatives to a pig and locking it. And just saying that right now, I'm imagining it's a literal pigsty in the office there. But it was a good memory, I feel like. Maybe we're the biggest pig we could get. That's awesome. All right, what are we doing here? I don't have a... I don't have a drain. We can draw that part, George. That's what we're doing. We're doing it. I think you know how to do it. I got to restart because it gave me two balls. No. Nope. So is there a chatbot that I need to be programming right now? Oh, what kind of chatbot would you be programming? That makes it real. Maybe some kind of a movie command? I don't know. I mean, if there was a random movie command. Well, that's already done. Okay. We can do that now. Before going into that, because that opens things up, I wanted to walk through a few basics of pinball. With Janelle, who has not played much, almost if any, pinball. That said, you've been playing a lot of virtual pinball recently, right? Not recently. I haven't. I have school. School. Got it. Also, what are you going to school for? Organizational management and business management. And for what, I guess, is what I was... My master's degree. Master's degree. Congratulations. I feel like you're my dad. And what are you going for? Show the class. Okay. Well, working towards your master's, that is awesome. And you're halfway through now? Yeah, just over. Yep. Okay. And I also just signed up to get a new fitness certification. And fitness certification. Well, now that we're here, let's... No, no, no. We're going back to chat. So, what would you do with a fitness certification? I am a hip-hop instructor, so... I'm sorry. Could you say that again? I am a hip-hop instructor. Hip... Hippity-hoppity. Hip-hop anonymous? You teach people how to hip-hop? And so I'm adding more modalities to what I teach. I don't even know what that means. What does that mean? Different styles of dance and fitness to integrate into my classes. Okay. Awesome. I'm crazy because, like, I don't have enough going on. Okay. Yeah. Not enough going on. You thought you'd... Also, you can see the levels here, and that is either too... It is a little quiet. Well, it's a little quiet. Let's see some moves. Show us some moves. Says HansATX. Yeah. Maybe after some more gin. Yeah, right? It's like a personality I wear for my class. There we go. Round three, that personality will come out. George, how do you not know about modalities? Haven't you seen Good Will Hunting? I have seen Good Will Hunting several times. I would not agree with you. Maybe you could provide some insight into the economic modalities of the Southern Colonies. I do remember that now that you say it. Okay. Now, Dice or Surreal, what is... I guess I kind of have... I haven't really thought through. If you're going to teach somebody about pinball, where do you start? And... I would start people with the card. I'm sorry? It's a card that has the rules on it. Oh, right. That's good advice. That is really good advice. Oh, my gosh. So at the bottom left of every single game that you play physically, and you can double-check me here, there is always a rule card that explains how to play the game. If you are playing the game, Retro Game Gal says make George do the moves with you. I'm not a dancer. Just FYI. Show him where you live, George. Show him where you live. Gin makes everybody a dancer, George. This is where I live. Right here. This is how I dance. Dance before Dino. Oh, you do the milk the cow move? That's what that is. I was referencing Hitch. So, looking through the instruction card, if you're going for score, actually, if you're just going to figure out a game, get into a multiball. Assuming it's a newer game, I always say go for a multiball. and you'll find out here that there are T-Rex events and if you shoot the truck, which is that guy, and spell T-Rex to feed the T-Rex, you'll begin a T-Rex event. Now what's interesting is it doesn't tell you that the first T-Rex event is a multiball, but let's go with that. How do you spell T-Rex? So there's the truck and every time you hit that, let me show you what happens. I'm going to hit it right there and you can see so it's a virtual spelling. Let's try Okay, we're cool. Try and gain a little Right. There we go. Don't drain. Don't drain, yes. Number two, don't drain. Okay, so I hit it another two times and you can see it up at the top, actually. Nope, not now. There we go. It says T-Rex up at the top there. Now, every game is different as to how it displays that information. What was that again? Information. No, it's displays. Displays, yes. How it displays information. So, next up is accuracy. And there are, I think, and guys, feel free to introduce other ways of doing it, but I have heard two schools of thought on how somebody has accuracy, meaning if I want to hit that ball right there, how do I hit it? Now, my way of doing it, because I'm not that coordinated, is to basically take a bunch of shots at it and keep in mind, did I hit it? And then try to keep track of where on the flipper I hit it. And then I remember that spot for all of the shots in the game, which also is why I'm much better at my own games than other games on location. That's not a great way to do it. The other way is just to be awesome and just look at something and say, I'm going to shoot it and keep flipping it until you dial in the shots, and then you would assume then that you'd be more accurate over time. I'm sorry. But I don't know how to skate. Go that way really, really fast, and then turn. If something gets in your way. Yes. That's also good advice. learning pinball is a lot like planning your first murder. May your aim be true, hit your shots, and have fun and be yourself. Holloway, what's the point? Cheers to that, guys. I love it. She's a teacher, so it's perfect. We're ready to get dino dance. Never lose your dinosaur. So, I'm going to try to accurately hit that shot. D-I-N-O You're just a dinosaur. So, I need to hit it one more time to qualify multiball. Now, the next thing is look at the play field. Usually, flashing shots or anything green are kind of what you want to go for. Green in general in pinball means multiball. That is broken hard in this game. There's nothing green. Oh, here we go. Joe Hill! Joe Hills, you're amazing. My hat's off to you. And thank you so much for that raid. Hey, Tracy's here too. Outer Spacey Tracy is here! Welcome to the stream! And Rosewolf, howdy y'all, Joe Hills Raid, Shaco MC, howdy y'all, Avery Opterix, that's just fun to say, Hard Copalypse, and Rokanshimo, welcome! Thank you so much for joining us from a Joe Hills Raid. We are playing some Jurassic Park this evening, and I don't know Dirty Dirt. Thank you very much. My hat's off to you. What a great name for that follow. Mr. Hardbuck, welcome as well. So we are kind of going through basic pinball skills. And now that we have a real pinball player in here, actually, I'm really happy. Tracy, feel free to jump in and save me if I'm doing it wrong, because I am not the greatest teacher of pinball, because I'm just not that great of a pinball player. But we just went over the thought of checking the bottom left, which was either Surreal or Dice's recommendation to always look at that to figure out kind of how to play the game. And there is a lot of directions here. And then we talked a little bit about accuracy and the two different ways that people might try and become accurate. My way is to find a shot that I want to hit and keep trying until I hit it and find where in the flipper that spot was and just remember that spot so that way I can do it over and over. So I'm trying to combine those two things right now to get into a multiball by spelling T-Rex. And, uh, J Quinn, we're doing well. By the way, this is Janelle, who is a hip-hop instructor working towards her master's degree, and my name is George, if you're just joining us. Feel free to throw out questions. How are you doing? By the way, George, should it arise, I've got a, uh, exercise that I tend to tell people to do if panic flipping or just being anxious about the ball coming towards the flippers becomes a thing. Okay. Please, lay it on us. Do share. Yeah. Well, essentially what I do is I'll flip the ball and then hands off the flippers. And you sit there for 6, 8, 10, 12 seconds while the ball is just sort of bouncing around and not actually draining. Now, of course, I say that, and you'll probably try it the first time, and I'll go straight down the middle. But in general, there's a lot of bouncing around that happens before you even have to really care. That's like when trampolining became an Olympic sport. A lot of bouncing around happened. Okay. Now, does that rule work well? And I'm assuming not in multiball, right? Well, you let it drain, but the whole point is it makes people feel a lot more comfortable about not having to immediately flip and rather they can take their time and make a decision. Gotcha. Okay. Dalton's advice is do a tap pass. Dalton, welcome. Your advice not to do is a tap pass. Tracy! There's Tracy. Hi, Tracy. And that is always Dalton's advice. Tracy. Yeah. Meet Janelle. Janelle, meet Tracy. Hello. Hello. And so, Tracy, what would you say is the next bit of advice to give someone who's new to pinball? Put me on the spot immediately. I have some simple rules that I tell my league members. Don't double flip. Don't go halfway up a ramp. Okay. What else? What else? What else? Oh, gosh. Nudge upwards when it's, like, the bottom half of the play field, usually. Okay. And start a multiball after you start a mode. Okay, so start a mode first, then start a multiball. Okay. I like those. Those are great general rules as well. Nudging. And hit the flashing shots, obviously, right? Yes. Hit the flashing shots. I love it. Also, or lit shots. In this case, we have a bunch of shots lit white that allow us to spell map, and it's kind of coordinated because it says map in the back, and the P is flashing, and it's flashing the same color as the shots on the playfield that let us actually spell map. Now, viewers can't see that it says map on the back of the playfield. I'm just going to go ahead and... Nope, that's... There. You can kind of see right there. That actually spells map. And the third light right there is flashing P. Oh, no. I messed up the playfield camera. No, no, no. We're good. We're good. I'm just going to hold your ball for you. Oh, thank you. I was about to say, George, if your P is flashing, please go see a doctor. you good thank you okay yeah so the other thing i could do would be to to show that there right now you can see it on the back of that camera down there there oh yeah hansa don't use both flippers at the same time that's another really good one so i just said that you did what did you say don't you said don't double flip did did did you say at the same time I'm so sorry. When you said double flip, I thought you meant like that. No, no, no, no, no. That was also my mistake. Yep. No, no, no. That's my mistake. Don't flip at the same time. Hey, I have had a lot of dinner already. Okay. Don't flip both. No hands cleaning. Oh, my God. We're literally the goal of tonight is to go through a basic walkthrough. There you are. Yeah, exactly. Okay, nudging. Tracy mentioned this idea of always nudging forward, and that is huge in terms of nudging because it's a lot easier to nudge forward than to try to go side to side. So what I'm going to show is how you can very easily use a nudge forward to move the ball safely from one flipper to the bottom, and I am going to hold up both flippers when I do it. So I'm going to hit this left ramp. It's going to come down, and on this game, it comes down so fast that if you give it a little nudge at the right time, it will bounce over to the other side, and then you can safely just trap up and let it settle. And trapping is so helpful, especially when you're playing pinball initially. Wow, that was horribly not accurate. Also, don't do too hard on yourself, because I didn't know about nudging really until way later. Well, I knew about it, but I didn't really, like, know what nudging can do for me. You know what I mean? Right. Nudging does come later. And that's a really, really good point. Like, there are people who will play for six months to a year well before they actually get to a point where they get comfortable nudging. And the thing there that I, once you do get there to that point, what I would recommend is if you lose the ball because you didn't nudge, give the game a little nudge. Not an anger nudge, but just to start initiating that muscle memory, even though it's way late. And then try to do it faster the next time and faster until hopefully at some point you're nudging before it goes down the drain. And you're actually nudging it out. So catching back up on chat, Dalton says, one of my biggest pet peeves is when new players, especially little kids, start a four-player game but leave halfway through ball two. Dalton, that's super frustrating. Yeah, don't do that. Nudging info. You're not moving the ball when you nudge. You're moving the play field under the ball. Dalton, huge. Yeah. And when you do, if I do a slap save, you're not, once again, you're hitting it, but you're actually moving the flipper and the play field over while the ball maintains going straight down. It's really cool when you get to see it in slow motion, what's actually happening there. But that's a really good one. Han says, and check the machine if it has a MagnaSafe or any third button. I forget they exist and what they do. really good one for things like World Cup Soccer and Black Knight 2000 does Black Knight the original have a third button? Sword of Rage has a middle button where I was thinking about the hidden side buttons but yes we're getting to the middle buttons sometimes the middle button does things like one of the worst buttons ever I'll say right now like a stave on the outside with action buttons on the middle it doesn't make any sense to me I'm sorry. Wait, Tracy, can you say that again? The action button being in the middle is for a magnus save on the outside. Like on the out lane. It doesn't make any sense to me. No, it's awful. They really needed to put this button on Black Knight Sword of Rage over here. Black Knight Sword of Rage is where you're actually fighting the machine. It is brutal, and it forces you to hit very dangerous shots right up the middle. So think TNA in terms of distance and it forces you to hit three targets that often will throw it right back at you It's brutal. It's tough. It gives you a Magna save that will actually catch the ball Right over here and it used to be that there was a button right next to this other flipper right there That was intuitive and it made so much sense to hit that button because it was right next to the Magna save But now you have to while that's all happening. You have to reach your hand over and hit the middle. Oh my god Leroy Jenkins. The Pinball Network just ran in. The Pinball Network, welcome to the stream. My hat's off to you. Frisco Pinball, how was your stream? And Dalton Pinball, by the way, we all know Dalton because Dalton asks every streamer when he goes on to their stream, and he's a streamer himself, to do a tap pass. That is his thing. He tells. He's telling, it's not a tap pass. It's demanding a tap pass, which is tough but not impossible on newer machines but on an older machine like Starz it's really really easy to do a tap pass and that's where you half flip and you send the ball from one flipper to the other it's like a partial flip so every time you see Dalton Pitbull saying something about tap pass or the tap pass network which is fun because that would be TTPN just caught that that's what he's referring to there okay so this is the most amazing game ever Jurassic Park is awesome for a few different reasons and I'm going to give you my thing that I say all the time on it which is immersion at a level that no other game has accomplished and that is there's a play field right here in the middle and all games have playfields I was just waiting for somebody to be like not every game has a play field we're going to get there but there are a series of paddocks in the middle and there are roads in between all the paddocks the direction you move on the play field, which leads to the paddock you're going to start as you try to capture a dinosaur, is changed by the one major toy in the game. That is the Nata Jeep in the center. The Nata Jeep's direction actually points you... You didn't explain Nata Jeep as well. Did you explain that already? I mean, I got here a few minutes late. No, no, no. Excellent question. It's because of the movie? Well, in the movie, there are Ford Explorers and Jeep Wranglers in Jurassic Park. The problem is Stern couldn't get licensing for a Ford Explorer or a Jeep. So they hired one of their best engineers and playfield designers, in my very, very humble opinion, George Gomez. He's amazing. They hired him to come up with a version that was, like, enough to make it feel like it was in Jurassic Park, a kind of Jeep-ish, without actually being a Jeep. And this is what they came up with. So I'm not going to call it whatever that thing is. I'm sure it has a name. It's just a not a Jeep. Okay. Yeah. Also, Putrig Morg, welcome to the stream. Good evening. And General Yagov, it's a great value Jeep. It's the kind of Jeep you would purchase from Walmart. Absolutely. Burning the Flipper, Dalton. Yeah, yeah. Okay, we're going to get there. So now you have playfield mixed with a toy on the playfield and the direction that going actually changes the direction you move through the Playfield as you progress towards Visitor Center And in the final wizard mode it opposite as you driving back It great Now, if that was it, it would just be okay. But it's also integrated into the game LCD, in that when you are in a paddock actually trying to save people and capture dinosaurs, is all first person from the perspective of being in the Jeep. Like, literally, you are looking through the glass. So the game and the person playing is the person who's driving the Jeep, and you are in charge of changing the direction. It's really freaking cool, and it's a great thought, I guess, that went into the game. And then you just add dinosaurs to that, and it's awesome. Dinosaurs and game memory. Just add dinosaurs, the simple instruction on every package. Just add dinosaurs. Mr. Scoot, welcome to the stream that is clearly a jored fruck. 420 BHP and gets 69 miles per gallon. I love it. By the way, Mr. Scoot, we have Tracy on the streams, the real dice, and here with me, because she didn't want to call in on Discord, we have Jenna. Hello! I don't even know what I was looking for there. I just wanted to look over and somehow wait for you to do something. The wave was perfect. Yeah, but like I just disagree with the explanation of why I'm here. Okay. We'll continue that as we continue drinking gins. By the way, Mr. Scoot, we have three gins to try tonight. We already have our first one. We've got two additional gins to drink. One of them... I mean, I've had my first one. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on. if I went with a secondary camera we could cut too while she makes another drink wouldn't that be 50 yards? I tried so hard to drink the whole thing I couldn't do it it's like chugging wine yeah it really is so I am going to the crowd can't do it can't do it oh my gosh so let's just get this drink all the forest superb nice no pepsi I take it I'm so sorry. Like, that is the shift. I don't know why there needs to be so many callbacks on that. On that scene in sequence. Because I will never forget. See, I'm a Wild Turkey 101 type of lady. Wild Turkey. My verbiage was, I don't know whether to be angry that the mixer of choice is Pepsi or that the liquor of choice is vodka. Oh my god. To each their own. To each their own. That's what I say. Okay. I like it. I'm not so wrong. Retro Game says I'm still learning and this is helpful. Retro Game. I'm so glad to hear that. The Paleontologist Network. Vinnie Blank. I could honestly get behind the Paleontologist Network. I wanted to be a paleontologist. Like, I'm imagining many children do. My daughter right now is huge into the Camp Cretaceous on Netflix. And Arthur Pendragon, welcome to the stream. Okay, moving on. I'm picturing you with a mask tied around your neck, George. Sorry, with what? I'm picturing you with like a handkerchief or something tied around your neck. An ascot? Like through pharmacologists. He's got an ascot. Yeah. I wear, instead of a mask, I wear a handkerchief because of Jurassic Park. There also happened to be a stream a long time ago where I literally dressed up as the Jurassic Park guy with the handkerchief and a blue shirt with a big hat and everything. I mean, it was, oh my god, one nudge. JC got two balls. What? What do you expect from a game that doesn't have a tilt ball then? all right so we are gonna switch over to drink mode here while we wait uh wait oh no no you come over here and play are you gonna make i don't trust you to me no i'm not making strong you make good dreams i feel like that tilt is totally justified because your dinosaur is still shaking that flying dinosaur is still flapping its wings it's on it's it's a heavy weight at the end of a metal rod. Like, it's going to continue shaking. It's an accident. It kicked out two walls. Oh, Retro Game Gal, I did just move. So this is my new abode. Anyway. Just do it. Do it. You can't actually see what I'm doing with my phone right now, but I'm spinning in a circle, so it makes me feel like you can see what I'm seeing. Retro Game Gal, George learned a very important lesson about not setting pinball glass on marble, didn't you, George? Yes, I did. still, still picking up glass all over the place. You know that little, like, pool noodle trick, right? The what? Pool noodle. A pool noodle? Oh, no. So you pick a pool noodle and you slice it in half, like, lengthways. Yep, and it goes on the bottom? And then you put, yeah, you rest the glass on there. That is a lot of work to take off glass. I mean, I love the trick, but it's, like, one extra step. Well, look at what happened when you didn't do it, George. That's safety. Here's what you can do. That's going to be safety. You went and pulled Pez Johnson and made that glass disappear. I did. It disappeared and it exploded. Like, I was holding it and I set it down and it just was gone. It even fell out of my... That is a Pez move right there. It was very crazy. Okay, so if you pull back the plunger really hard, it's going to send both balls out. and just let them both drain, it will kick out one ball, and then you can start playing. But a huge part for me in playing pinball is thinking ahead. What is the shot that you're looking for right now? So what's the first thing you're going to shoot? The truck? There you go. Go for the truck. You need to know about skill shots because that's like number one. I did not tell her skill shots. I said initially just go to try and get into a multiball. Skill shots. can be huge. Yes, there are lots of them. And in this game, there's quite a few. But the easy one would be, before you plunge, there's that red-white flashing shot there. If you can hit that on the plunge, you get your skill shot. And what's fun is, it's actually a four-parter. Because it wants you to hit that one, and then it wants you to hit the ramp, and then it wants you to hit this thing over here, and then it wants you to hit the O-shot. The O-shot is the hardest shot in this game, but very satisfying when you can hit it. It's very tight. Well, 4-0 shots are very satisfying. There are many satisfying shots, absolutely. So let this drain. Yeah, so do a full plunge and let them all drain. It's okay. It's going to kick out another one. And now play. Okay. Almost hit that truck. That counted. Nope, that did not. Also, don't forget you do have another flipper. Okay, excellent C-shot there. Obviously on purpose. Loving what you're doing right now. So take a second while you have it trapped up. Look up at the play field. What is it telling you you absolutely need to hit right now? That left rim. You want to give it a shot? I say go for it. Can I just say that she dead-bounced like a boss? Yeah. I only really started doing that maybe like two or so years ago. It took me a while to be comfortable doing that. What accuracy, and yes, Tracy is absolutely right. Dead Bouncing is nailing it. Yes! Good. Okay. Next up, what's flashing? That one is flashing, but what else is flashing? Okay, that green one, too. That is actually the dinosaur that's trying to kill the people you want to rescue. Do you see the orange rescues? Yes. Your job is to hit those shots before the dinosaur moves closer. Look. It's going to get that rescue. You better save that person. Seriously. Oh, my God. He's going to die. I can tell. Well, that one survived. You got to get that other one, though. Nice. All right, you spelled R in T-Rex, but that dinosaur is about to get that dude. You're going to let him die? Oh, wow, way too early. Oh, no, he's on the rescue. You have such a short amount of time. Also, check out the play field. Sorry, the LCD. Not now. In a minute. it's first person which I just absolutely love wow look at that death bounce Tracy are you seeing that oh I hit it I'm in awe oh no I'm in awe he's dead sorry Jim he's dead it's okay you're going to get that back click in the other clipper to like calm it down like all these moves are pro moves you're doing great that was really good you had multiball lit it's lost though and gone forever you'd have to wait until the next game in order to activate it still really good MPT3K stop mansplaining pinball George that is the focus not mansplaining this is the focus of tonight is to explain the basics of playing pinball and we are taking feedback from everybody I'm gonna make a drink alright thank you we're on thank you Tracy to ball number two and we're gonna pause for a second Oh my God, she's doing awesome. So we're going to switch to bar over here. I got to restart this guy. We have a whole new camera set up just for this. But this one is weird. I need to make this easier to get into. So that should start up in a second. Okay. Welcome. You're doing it again. Wait, why are you doing the Empress again? We have other, we have other gems. I like the Empress. Okay, that totally makes sense. Oh, I should probably finish my drink. So, what do we have this evening? We have Empress right here, and this is the cool stuff, because it's a blue... Yeah, well, it looks purple here, and it looks really purple here once you mix with... The lavender on the bottom. Oh, man, I feel like you need to show it again. Like, we have to make another Empress drink, just so that you can see it. Tracy, Empress is amazing. If you can, you want to just show what happens? Yeah. Okay. So. Is that enough? No, you're going to have to put in a little bit more. Can you see that? No, it's not enough color. That's what I said about the color. Yeah, okay, that's good, that's good. So it's kind of bluish purple, and check out what happens when you put tonic in it. Oh. Oh my god. It goes pink from like a bluish purple. So it's a quinine maybe? Very nice. I'm not sure. Maybe it is a quinine. Citric acid. Oh, citric acid. There is an acidic element. Okay. And so Empress is amazing. That's a new absolute regular. Ooh, nicely done. Yeah. Okay, cool. So you have a new drink, and then we have others. So I just picked this up today. This is gray whale gin with juniper, limes, fir tree, sea kelp, mint, and almonds. And then this is my new favorite gin of all time because this has so much flavor you can just drink it. It's called Monkey 47. And this is just like gin with ice in it. It is fantastic. George, what happened to the first 46 monkeys? the seven like he's got to them yeah also i i do have to throw a shout out to aviation a it's ryan reynolds and b um it is it's kind of like it's a baseline oh yeah i should totally finish this so hold on does he actually drink that and does he actually use mint um mobile i have i have questions about his businesses i don't know but that last vip was amazing ryan reynolds strikes me as the kind of guy that would absolutely be on Verizon. I mean, you guys drink gin or you guys drink, Tracy, you said you are a wild turkey person. Yeah, I like gin. I'm trying not to really drink so much because I feel like the medication does not like it. So it's very rare that I drink anymore. But I do like a nice bourbon or, you know, Tennessee whiskey or whatever. But I like gin as well. And you can't hate on vodka because gin is basically vodka plus juniper. Like, that's what gin is. Okay. So... Vodka and pine salt. All right. What do I put in here? I feel like I shouldn't mess with this. Like, just tonic and gin? Do I try that first? Egg whites, egg whites, egg whites. Oh! We're doing that. There's the ninja. It's out. I have all of the stuff to Do egg whites this... Oh, you know what I don't have? So I don't have lime juice. I was hoping you were going to say egg whites. I have egg whites. No, no, no. I always have egg whites. I have lime juice! Yes! I knew I had all this stuff. Tap into your former goth phase and use egg darks. Oh, my God. You've been hanging out with your kid. I snorted. That was obviously an accident. Okay, I need to put that over here. do you want to go hang out in front of the 7-Eleven and smoke a coke wait who's that with the and there's much rejoicing is that not Dave no that's somebody's intro alright I gotta try this really quick my intro didn't play is that Taylor main camera quality poor poor quality yes what about poor quality Quality, poor, poor quality. It's poor quality. I got it. Yep. No, no, no. I like it. Actually, this is amazing. With just tonic and the Monkey 47, this is so good. Meta Knightman, yes. We are in the kitchen, and we have the dual camera set up. When I said the Colorado, you were definitely going to feed me all that gin. Oh, yeah. Tracy, would you come out here? Yes. Yes. There will be gin whiskey. Are you asking us a question for every drink you make? Yes. Can I ask it? Absolutely. Let's hear it. My thing is really dumb. My voice is not... I don't know. I'm going to turn you up. Hold up. Turn it up. I don't actually know which one yours is. Try talking again. Hello. Hi. Hi. Hello. Hello. Okay. You're at a 13 now. I'm at a 10. Okay. I mean, whatever. It's a tie. It has been a long time. Well played. What conspiracy theories do you believe in? Conspiracy theories such as aliens, the moon landing was faked, celebrities that have been killed off and replaced by other celebrities, dead celebrities who are not actually dead, i.e. Elvis, Tupac. So I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Dice actually has some really good ones. But the one I'm most interested in is Surreal. Surreal. What? I am so curious. What conspiracy theories do you believe are accurate or true? Let's not get too political, please. Let's not get too crazy here. Keep it. That is actually a really good point. Yeah, let's leave, like, the Gates Foundation and all that out of this. I mean, yes, Jillian, I'm definitely Jillian, so I agree with Jillian. How much time do you have? Jillian! See, I knew it. I knew Dice was going to come up with quite a bit. But like I said, I think I'm interested to know what Surreal might believe. Well, in general, I tend to go for Occam's razor, which is the simplest answer that tends to be the correct one. so in general when a conspiracy theory involves tens of thousands of people being real quiet about a lot of stuff that seems completely not possible because you go to a party with a group of friends and by the end of it everybody's talking but also you think about the game of telephone and how some things might be interpreted properly and some things might be twisted a little bit and also how stupid everyone is. I think those are two factors you really have to consider to make even that kind of plausible. That's true. I mean, in general, I think that aliens exist because mathematically they must, but also it doesn't make sense that they visited us temporally because time is very, very, very long. Having said that, I'm pretty sure that the earth is indeed flat. seeing that we're just trying to piss people off huh oh yeah yeah that was that was that was well done that was that was a good amount of trolling also Goran is my newest Facebook friend and that was I don't I think I was talking with you on the phone when I got an invite from somebody first name I'm not gonna say but but it said Goran I'm like oh my god is this Goran I just got friended by Goran. You did. I thought you were making unintelligible sounds. No, I'm like, no, no, it's Goran. Yeah. Again, unintelligible sounds. Their first name's not Goran? It's Goran. Goran Goran. I'm very Goran. Matrix is a documentary. Documentary. I feel like I know nothing about Goran, and I just imagine Goran as some, like, weird, like, Doctor Who entity. that's not human and is just like floating somehow it's not pale or magical it's Gorn that's who Gorn is to me I have no idea who Gorn is other than seeing the name in chat and talking about pitbull I don't know who they are Gorn, Gorn, Gorn anywhere, everyone we are Gorn, we are one yet we are many Oh, my God, yes. So, it's Goran. His ATM password is 1818. Frisco Pinball. These drinks are fantastic. I can't say enough things about Monkey 47. That is my new favorite alcohol. Was it inexpensive? Okay, so here, I'm going to get, I just went through for the first time ever and looked at them like, I just looked at the gin thinking to myself, you're not playing. So we're going full screen here. But I looked at the gins and I'm like, well, what should I get? I don't know. Let's open things up and figure out what's good. And if you go to the whiskey section and you do that, it's dangerous, right? Like, whiskey gets really expensive. Gin does not. Like, the upper end of gin is like the lower end of the okay stuff in the whiskey aisle. If you're not including Jack Daniels or whatever the stuff that gives you, like, super heartburn. like the stuff that we bought in college. Like water ball or something? Yeah. No, no, no. There is inexpensive whiskey. No doubt whatsoever. I'm just saying like the upper end of gin is nowhere near the upper end of whiskey. At least on the shelves are really good. By the way, MPT3K needs to come to Colorado where they have real liquor stores because MPT3K can't get whipped cream vodka. Whipped cream vodka. Yeah. We have all different flavors. They have so many. I went over, I almost took a picture and sent it to him just to say, na-na-na-na-na-na. We have all of these flavors. I went a vodka that tasted like, oh gosh, it was like lemon-lime or something, and it was Elvis-themed for some reason. Okay. I don't even know. It was New Orleans that I went to talk to them about, which makes sense there. but they have everything and every single liquor vodka, gin like they're so creative today these off days good good I just love the way that she was describing like oh you know that drink that we drink as college kids and immediately I knew what she was talking about really without saying much yeah did anybody else drink way too much fireball? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, in high school it was Boone's Hill Strawberry, Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. Okay. Many a blurry night spent with Boone's Farm. Yeah, I'm keeping quiet from now on. I told too much with that, like. Oh, chaotic. Mad Dog is where it's at. Mad Dog. Oh, gosh. All the neon colors. The first time I had. I was drinking toys when we were ice skating. That and peppermint schnapps. Sorry, is there a reason it was ice skating? Yeah, if you take some MD-2020 and you put a little bit of Kool-Aid powder on your hand, you lick it, and if you take a shot, it makes it taste better. I'm sorry, what kind of powder were you putting on your hand? Kool-Aid powder. Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid. I've been seeing your hand for a week. I heard Kool-Whip powder. Maybe it was just because we keep saying Kool-Whip. But, Janelle, you're up. You want to take over that? Yes, I am. they definitely have pinnacle whipped cream vodka all over the Bay Area. Oh, I'm surprised no one said anything about Jägermeister, by the way. We don't talk about Jägermeister, kind of like we don't talk about Bruno. We talk about Bruno. Oh, shit. I just realized I never answered your question, George. Oh, yeah. Sorry, it wasn't my question. It was Danelle's. Hey, cool. This is one that was primarily based off of a joke, but the more I talk to people online, the more I believe it to be true. I think the pictures are actually accurate, and Bigfoot is just really blurry. Did you notice that everybody took about three seconds to process? Like, the amount of brain power required to get to the point where that was funny creates blurry pictures. That's awesome. Thank you. Bigfoot's just really blurry. Those pictures are perfectly in focus. I was a shooter girl at a club, and I had to buy drinks at 75 cents, and I sold them at 275. And they were in tubes, and one was Jägermeister, one was Goldschlager, and the other one was Peppermint Schnapps. That used to be Three Wise Men, but it was Rumpelmint that we had instead of Peppermint Schnapps. oh man i mean i was 19 when i did that i work in a bar i know about women hey somebody just did something nobody talks about jagermeister but me it's the nighttime coughing sneezing stuffy head fever all you can catch liquor says mr hard luck wait a second nighttime coughing sneezing stuffy head fever so you can rest. Like, I love that. That's awesome. Also, uh, Captain Ducra, it's been a while. How was I not following you already? Captain Ducra, don't feel bad. I, there's like four people I thought recently in the past two weeks I was already following, but apparently, evidently, sorry, I can't say apparently, um, I haven't been following. One of them was earlier today. I saw Lobster Sticks to Magnet streaming pinball, and it looked good. Like, there's four different cameras, lots going on, a really cool video playing at the top left. Like, I was impressed. I don't know, I think he was at 69 followers, and I was really surprised that I wasn't already following. And on that note, here with us in the stream, there are three people that you should follow for if I can get Janelle to start doing early morning hip hop workout lessons on Twitch at some point here in the near future. But there is first and foremost, let's go with Surreal underscore seven. Squalito, thank you so much for that follow. My hat's off to you. Surreal streams really cool integrations and with software and streaming and lighting and sounds and it's like jurassic park levels of immersion but in stream redemptions which is really cool by the way i can't give you enough props uh surreal on that crazy level of immersion and integration with just that one with just that that one uh ghostbusters uh redemption it is so freaking cool and you nailed it. The only thing you don't have is a fog machine. I feel like going off in the background to create the scene in preparation for it, but it's great. I thought about that, but my office is very small. I knew you did! And Squalido is, JP my favorite pin. Without a doubt, JP is my absolute favorite pin. I love this. This, to me, has the flow, the rules, the immersion and well-thought-out theme that every game should try and match. It's awesome. So, I'm just here waiting for Pez. Don't panic, Blitz. Hop, dance while you play Pinball Chaotix. I am not Bumper Nugget. He was here last week on the TPN stream, but we don't have a foot cam, so no matter what I do, you're not going to see that, as much as I love that foot cam. Who was it that was on stream with you that you kicked? That I kicked? Oh, my God. I've kicked Ty and Paul and Nick. aka the Pinzomniac at least 20 times a piece. The red bearded dude. The red, oh Dave, I totally kicked him while he was sitting here just recently. Yeah, that's why I keep backing up. The foot cam is for OnlyFans. The pinball is for 10 billion. Well played, well played. George doesn't have a good habit of donkey kicking every person he plays pinball with. It's every once in a while that one shot and I really gotta get the kick out. Apparently, darn it, evidently nowhere near as animated as Walt from IE Pinball's stream at Indus this week. And I got to see little bits and pieces of that. Who, like, dances and does spin moves while playing. I'm, that, Walt needs to stream pinball. There's no question. Yeah, Walting, Walt, Meta Knightman. We need to, we all need to petition Walt to start streaming pinball. I want to see it. I want cameras all over him from every angle. I just want, I want that to happen. He plays at Blizzard's Leagues. Meta Knightman? Walt is plays with oh my god Lord Howard Hurst Lord Howard Hurst, welcome Walt became a hero this weekend, he did and he plays with K-Mac sorry, Z-Mac and K-Mac and Pet obviously, Pez is out there as well okay, so going back, because I'm remembering things so far right now no guarantee I'm going to remember them and be able to come back from segways, like multiple tangential segways. I love that, by the way. Multiple tangential segways. Dice, that needs to be the name of your next band. Moving on from Surreal to MTS. Yes, yes. To I Only Seek Eurydice felt very weird. Dice, you're going to have to link yourself in the chat. Surreal did the thing. Thank you. Surreal, you're awesome. So check out Dice. Click the link. Click the follow button. Dice and here's your bling. Dice is amazing. Dice is super fun to chat with. Amiable. Really enjoyable. Like, just to listen to. I mean, I like hanging out with Dice. I keep trying to get him to come out to Colorado. We're going to make it happen for the stream. I get to talk with Aiden, by the way, at Pinball Jones. On the drinking stream. Yeah, on Wednesday. It's not just a drinking stream. I'm going to do everything possible to turn it into a massive IFPA tournament. But you have to drink. Is that going to be like everybody's turn to come out? I don't know if this is enough time for you, George, but I may have a spot in my schedule in about five weeks. No. I'm sorry. I'm looking at May, I think, at the earliest. I really want to give people time and prep. Make sure it gets IFPA approved because nobody under 21 will be allowed. Because it will be a requirement that you have to take drinks. if somebody buys a shot and you're selected randomly to accept the shot. And by random, I mean people literally can choose you and increase the chances that it lands on you after they purchase a shot. You know what shots we shouldn't have? The one we invented in college. And then, finally, we have Tracy from Outer Spacey, who just said, O-M-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G. Click the name, click the follow button. Tracy streams, I feel like, tons of stuff. I have seen games, I've seen cooking, I've seen just hanging out and chatting, and pinball. Instruments? Wait, I haven't seen... Tracy, what do you stream that's instrument or music based? It's kind of synthesizer-y. Oh, Tracy's eating, so Tracy's not going to respond. I'm sorry. Guys, go ahead and can you create a picture with your words? Sorry, I just have to pause. Tracy, as a person with metaphania, thank you so much for tapping out when you wait. Metaphania is a person who is extremely, has anxiety disorder due to mouth sounds. Okay. Also, I'm eating guitar and synth stuff. YW, you're welcome. Okay. Sensory sensitive too. Okay. I think you and Tracy would get along. They're doing ASMR answering for you guys. Oh my gosh. I'm just going to sit here for the rest of the stream and just eat a bag of pretzels in a microphone. Excuse me while I go long. I can't find any shots or play pinball at all. How is that different than any other day, George? You are absolutely correct there. The only difference being that I have had a lot of gym shows. And now you have company. Yes, and I have company. I get a lot of people in the chat. Goran says, if I hosted a big screen VR watch of the 90s Nickelodeon game shows, would you join? You feel like the type of... I am definitely, Goran, into VR watching of 90s Nickelodeon, as long as it includes the slime 90s show, and then we also need Carmen Sandiego. Double there, figure it out. You can't do that on television. Yes, you can't do that on television. Double dare? TC Punk, you, you, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yes. George is drunk. I'm sorry, I'm not drunk. Not a nightmare says George is drunk. But I'm not drunk, right? You handle your liquor very well. Thank you. I'm not drunk. You're drunk. It says you're drunk. Um, Tracy says I'm thinking of getting a pinball arcade. Oh, I lost it. Nope. So this here is the mouse, and it has... Oh, my God, that's a mouse? Thank you so much for telling me. I would have never known. Sorry. Oh, the middle side. There you go. There's the link to the Discord. By the way, guys, did you know Jordan has a Discord? And then, well, Andy's got merch. Thank you, guys. I mean, that was intentional. But, yeah, wow. Yeah, hard to say. Pam, merch, LMAO, wow, nice. I love it. Mansplaining, pinball princess Jillian. That was absolutely intentional. Remember? You remember, Celia. I remember. I'm a manager for a tech company. So, yeah. And George knows that I'm a manager at a tech company. You see, mansplaining is when a man condescendingly explains. Oh, my God. You see, mansplaining. Gimme, gimme. Oh, I hit it on the second try. Condescending. That's when you talk, Helen. Oh, Jukegrass said congrats for pronouncing his thing right. Oh, cool. For her. Sorry, that's incredibly sexist of me. Then. Oh my god, I'm sorry I didn't realize my dog turned on cat's block. I have to remember that one in business meetings, by the way. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize my dog turned on cat's block. You have a dog, George? No. Yeah, exactly. Since I'm pretty sure you were adamant that you were never going to get a pet. Nope, no pets for me. That is entirely too much responsibility, exactly. You barely hang on to your plants. Hey, I watered my plants two weeks ago. I'll have you know, they are still alive. That is... I'm trying to unpack that, George. I watered my plants two weeks ago. I am an amazing parent, and that is the, like, all of my responsibilities. Between that, streaming, the job, the second job... I feel like you were handed a gold mine in the parenting division, like, pretty often. Yeah. There's no question that Zoe is amazing. Aw. Tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt. And I get the privilege of being the one who carries it. At least kids can scream if they need water, says Tracy. I fed my kids twice yesterday, so they're far stronger. Okay That's why George puts his plants in the corner They're there That's why they're not named baby Yeah Okay so At this point we have walked Oh you know what we haven't done If you can get to a trap I want to show you how to move The ball from one flipper to another As that post transfers Okay I have that effect George wants to get a woman into a trap What has this dream become? Oh, my gosh. Yes. You said soft plunge. On this game, that does... When did I say soft plunge? You always say soft plunge. Oh, my God. Dice, back me up here. How often do I say soft plunge? To be fair, you are playing with old soft plunge. Dice has called me soft plunge multiple times. All right, try and trap up. It's okay. You got a ball thing. There's two. And it gave you two. so drain one of them it's fine okay now great you've trapped up over here it's getting hot in here yeah exactly it's getting hot in here so water all your plants don't breathe breathe we're good we're good you have to snort and add an uncle physicist who would every time you say it Anywhere he laughed he tried to every time he breathed in while he was laughing Okay let me take over here for a second Why? No, why? Because I want to demonstrate it. It's my turn. No, you can work. George, enough mansplaining. I'm sorry. I wanted to demonstrate the post-transfer and I can put it back for you and then let you try it. So, what I'm going to do... I mean, I feel like this is not teaching. Nope. That was not teaching at all. I will get it back. You just took over the game. No, you are absolutely right. Yes, this happens every time George teaches. He says, here, I'll teach you how to do this, and then he plays for 45 minutes. Oh, my God. I just trapped that. I told you I was going to get it back. Oh, my God. I'm going to get it back. No, no, no. We're good. Here we go. So. as long as he's not letting you to play you want to go water those plants for him i mean i wasn't really playing anyway they're all talking to each other connect sprinklers to a channel point okay it's the same thing that the goal ignore the chat yeah yeah okay dice you're on it yes dice you're on reading the chat so what we're going to try and do is post-transfer and get the ball. Imagine you need to hit this left ramp, like you do, because it wants you to start the mode. But you can't do it from the left flipper. You need to get it over to the right. So what you need to do is flip quickly into the bottom, and it will transfer over to the other side. Then you flip up the flipper, capture it, and then you're trapped. Like that. Okay. Okay? Now it's over on this side. You can put it back over to the other. But what do you do when this flipper has a delay on it that I've noticed? That flipper doesn't have a delay. Okay. There is no delay on that slipper. What are you on about? Okay. Oh, that was too much. You're right, George. That slipper does not have a delay. This play field is not in the best shape right now. By the way, you are ready for a multivol if you can hit that left ramp. Post-counter! Wait, what? You post transfer. Post transfer. Show me. I think I post too much. Ah, you made me nervous. I wish I were playing with you. That's what you want to do when you're teaching somebody something new, George. You want to yell at them. I'm a great teacher. I'll have you know. I am. I'm sorry, I'm drooling all over myself. This is fantastic. I'm so sorry, let me get the mop. You do realize that you are carrying... Let me get the mop. I'm getting the mop. You have a portable microphone with you, so when you go to the bathroom, they would hear everything. I'm getting the mop. I'm not going to the bathroom. Oh, please let us have a police squad moment. Yep, that was a spit tank. We're cool. We're cool. Am I tired of talking? You know, I'm doing pretty good. Oh, my God. Tonight's stream is sponsored by Swiffer. Did you actually spit all over the floor? I tried to catch it in my cup as much as I could. Wow. This stream is definitely brought to you. Is that an actual Swiffer? That is a wet jet, CC Punk, yes. Yes, that is a Swiffer. There you go. This stream brought to you by Swiffer. I know my cleaning products, George. Oh, I wouldn't touch the bottom. Yeah, you need to change the pattern. I need to change the pattern. That's just good life advice in general, George. This is why men don't have periods. Oh, sorry. That was too much. Oh, my God. Little buddy. TC Punk Amazon Prime going. It'll be tomorrow. Excellent. I'm sticking. Captain Duke. Wow. Okay. Okay, look at the clip after dark. That's true. Remember, George, I would not touch that. Remember, I live alone. Did you see how quick and easy that cleanup was? Okay, not soft plunging because it's a heck of a ramp. Yeah, you want to full plunge. Full plunge away. You got this. in a delton here you got it this is the first thing I'm trying to watch as I'm trying to get ready for sleep metamon we're sorry metamon that is sorry that is my bad you got a vault aid it was an antilazor I'm just saying green can we see how well she's playing yes absolutely I blame that one on jay-z sorry that's her What do I... What... Oh, you're in a mode. Oh, fuck! No, no, no. All right, trap up again, and I'll explain this all. It's not mansplaining if I'm just trying to help you. That sounds exactly like something a match for her would say. That was hilarious. I'm going to come on your med bike just to see that. I'm just like... Wait. I'm sorry. Once again, you are on a mobile microphone. I know. You can't, like, dodge it. You can't avoid the microphone. I'm not doing that. Okay, so. Thank you for wrapping up. I don't think I'm still enough for this. You can see here that you're in a mode. You have the first paddock. This is the brachiosaur paddock lit. You're inside. Your goal is to not allow the dinosaur to kill the people you want to rescue. Oh, my God. You just did a beautiful post-transfer. Well done. High freaking five. Yes. Okay. Now you want to hit the left ramp in order to rescue one person. Oh, my God. Yes. Okay. If you can trap up, that's great. Oh, yeah, beautiful. All right, hold up. Next thing you have to do, phase two of this, is you have to rescue. Sorry, you have to set the trap to capture the dinosaur. It's either that stand-up where the yellow arrow is pointing to or this one over here. You can hit either. They're both tough shots because it's these tiny little stand-ups. They're very small and vertical. Dad, did you have post-transfer again? No, you don't. You can hit them both from the left flipper. You just have to be accurate. Bob! Wow. No. Okay, okay, you're good. This is called recovery. This is an opportunity to learn. I know, it's just a real suggestion of removing your hands from the play field so you don't panic flip. Well done. Yes, Captain Jukera, Janelle has not played much pinball, So tonight is all about learning both basic pinball skills while at the same time learning more about Jurassic Park. I feel like there's a lot of learning happening tonight. Like that last incident. Yeah, my next tip. And George, you're hilarious. You're a good dude. Would you have a drink in your mouth? Maybe keep it there. Maybe he's in the middle of saying something. George, you're a good dude. I know that. And you mean well, and you are always learning, and I like you because of that. So the learning moments that you're having, even though we're laughing, it's freaking hilarious. Like, I know that you'll, like, look into it and understand why. That's why the two ladies specifically were laughing hysterically at your explanation for, like, your reasoning behind why you were explaining things. J.J., I got to back you up. Yes. I do feel it. Thank you. And I, I will, I promise I'll get there. But there's still learning to be had. Yeah. Oh, my God. I used to, like, playing board games with George for, like, 15 years. Yeah, 15 years I've played board games with George. I used to, like, tell everybody to shush because George is a really good explainer. Yes, I am basing my ability to explain things on others solely on Janelle's often reassurance that I am actually good at explaining things to other people. I'm sorry for the crinkles. There's a bag of ice I need to get to. Oh no, that's not good. Dice, what was it you were saying? I apologize. I honestly don't remember at this point. Oh, that's cool. I actually can't hear Janelle. You can't hear me? I can hear Janelle. Yeah, my thing is so low. That did not work out. It's a clip from this stream. Absolutely. Go ahead. Yeah. Parkstonian, can you... Honestly, it doesn't bother me even if you post clips from other streams, especially if it's from other streamers, or if it's a fun meme, or if it is some sort of, like, informational thing that we can all learn from. Honestly, you just post your clips. It's not mansplaining if you're healthy. Oh man, that's going to go really well. Hey, where's my drink? Are you making another drink right now? You finished it, dude. Okay. Evidently, I have a new drink coming. Thank you. What kind of board games did you guys use to play? I love board games. Retro Game Gal. Man, you name it. Settlers of Catan? Yep, a lot of Settlers of Catan kind of early on. One of my, I almost said Confluence, but that is a documentation application that we're using constantly now. Concept is maybe one of my favorite party games. Watch out, a TPN might drop you based off this sandal. I'm sorry. Thank you. There you go. Sorry. No, no worries. Are you already doing that tournament you were talking about, George, where, like, if someone draws your number and buys you a shot, you have to drink? Tracy, come on. Yes. Because I feel like that should happen, right? Tracy, not only are we doing it, but I've done it twice before, and it's usually small, but that's not the case. So what I want to do is get actual competitive players in on this. As opposed to, like, we've just gotten completely schnockered. And what I want to do is reward good playing with the necessity to drink. So as you win, your chances of being given a shot are going to increase naturally. And then anybody on stream can buy shots. and every time you win, your basically piece of the pie on a random spinner gets larger and larger and that's how we've done it in the past. So what I'm doing is on Wednesday, I'm going to start talking with Aiden. I want to set up something for May and what I want is, A, Bumper Nugget has been doing streams out of the original, the OG Pinball Jones in Fort Collins and he's been doing it by running a 50-foot Cat5 cable. If I do 100 feet, I can reach every game in there and not have to worry about internet because the Wi-Fi in that place is just horrific. At that point, now I can stream from Pinball Jones. They have 36 games. They're all in amazing condition. And they host tournaments regularly, including some pretty large ones. So what I'd like to do is set up an actual IFPA tournament that requires drinking. I think maybe that's the best way to put it. Oh, we just lost dice. Aw. Can I call in to that one? You can call in. You are also welcome to join. Yeah, you should come. We've got nice guys. They're real. I suppose that might be possible if it's that far out. Parksonian, dropping a thousand bits. You're amazing. Tracy, you can stay with me. It's time. Oh, no. You're still there. Tracy, you've got your cover. It's stuck. Maybe Doug's having some sound issues. He's rejoining and rejoining and leaving and rejoining. Oh, no. Hmm. Do you want the third question? Captain Ducra, they... Yeah, it's going to do that. That's not good. No, it's just... Ooh, what is this? There's some color. I added some lavender in it. Oh. Great coming. But which kind of gin is in here? The whale. The whale gin. There is a lot of flavor in the whale gin. Okay? Okay? Yeah. Now, do we want to take a second and show everybody what the whale gin is? Sure. Okay. We're going to do that. Also, you have another question because we made another drink. Yep. Let's do that. I'm going to switch over to this, and we're going to go turn on the other camera. Who do you think would play you in the movie of your life? What actor would play you in the movie of your life? All right, this has to go out to Tracy first. Tracy. Yes, I believe in aliens. What? What actor would play you in the movie of your life? Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. Metaflion. sorry who is that I love her she's the slums of Beverly Hills and what's the movie the show she has Russian Doll yeah oh my god you guys are both naming the same movies at the same time yeah but that's Natasha Lyonne why do I wait she's in Orange is the New Black she's like she's got a big red hair wait was she from 10 Things I Hate About You yes she was She was in 10 Things I Hate About You. I really like her. Oh, she was also in American Pie, right? Possibly. I don't know. She was in a lot of my 90s films. But you know who we're talking about. Yes, I now know who you're talking about. That is who Tracy is saying. Sorry, sorry. Would play her. Oh, yes, Tracy. Yeah, absolutely. I can totally see that. Okay, moving over to... Boom, there we go. They need a super top-shelled version you can't buy. The White Whale. Higher P. Higher P. Welcome. Whale Gin. Big Drop. Big Drop. Oh. TC Punk. Is that like a play off of T? Okay. Surreal. Who would play you in the... Wait, is it a movie or is it a made-for-TV movie? I don't know. It's just a movie of your life. Okay. choose got it surreal that's on you um I was trying to think of uh I don't know probably Neil Patrick Harris oh my god that's awesome wait wait wait like like Doogie Howser like early 90s Neil Patrick Harris or like How I Met Your Mom in my youth I looked a lot like him or he looked a lot like me I don't know who's older No, Starship Troopers Neil Patrick Harris can be absolutely forgotten in my mind. We both have done magic. That's a thing. Nice attempt at a post-transfer. I don't know. That's all I got. Okay. Fish? Ryan Felipe. Why? Because I think we looked at one point very similar. personality similarities? I don't know. He always plays like a psycho serial killer, so I have no idea what he, what kind of personality similarities there might be. He wasn't in Cruel Intentions. He was, well, he was definitely, he grew as a person, which is what made the movie Cruel Intentions so awesome. Yes. Well, I'm a dangerous liaison. Captain Ducras, as you were saying. Meta Nightman says, Headed to bed, night all. Hey, Meta Nightman, if you're still here, have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out tonight. Tarstonian says, Oh, gin made from real parts. Real whale parts. Fancy. Retro Game Gal says, Whale? Gin? The movie you're basing the character on is important. Okay. And Janelle, who would be your person then? do this? Um, Marion Collier. Sorry, who's that? Colliard. Uh, she plays, uh, Fanny in The Good Year or, um, uh, The Wife in Inception. Nope, I got nothing. Or, um, Personality White? I mean, it just depends. Uh, oh, uh, Yennefer? Oh, yeah. The Witcher? Totally Yennefer from the Witcher. Yep. Looks-wise, Yennefer, but personality-wise, Kate Winslet. Oh, personality-wise, I would have to choose Stephen Wright, I guess. Wait, for Janelle? Or for me. Captain Jerka, I loved visiting Pinball Jones when I lived in Colorado. Which location are you hosting? Oh, sorry, Captain Ducra. I meant to say, and then I think I got distracted. They closed the Elizabeth location. So it's just the Old Town location now. And that was COVID. Tracy, do you have a difference between Natasha Lyonne and her looks and her personality? Or does she capture you entirely? Um, I have been told there was similarities, um, in the way I look, but I don't, I don't know. I don't really see it. Is that just the hair? I think the smart-ass-y, like, no-shit type of personality is, uh... Colorado. It's not like that. earlier I detected a bit of a northern accent in you now I know you're part of is it okay can I say that you're part of not literally that pinball yeah that you absolutely can but not location without asking permission first yeah the bell I run the auction bell who shines so but I detected a northern accent in you earlier so I imagine so that's interesting i have lived in florida pretty much my entire life but my parents are from south africa so there's a little bit of weird and questions in my voice and even though i can be an asshole sometimes i just sound more like an asshole than actually being an asshole but yeah i don't know it's kind of like a a weird mix also because my jewish background and stuff my mom also is like she lives in germany most of her life so it's like a weird mixture of stuff happening there that is a that is a great mixture jc my father's in and like i But I think, like, fandom, and I don't want to say girl crush, but, like, grows the more you talk. Oh. Well, that's very nice. Pretty phenomenal. I don't know how to take compliments. I am going to be awkward, you know. Anybody knows how to take compliments? Because, like, I mean, even, like, manly. Okay. Even, like, what? Like, when I get a compliment, I'm going to pull my hair and walk away. way. Mike dropped just George Costanza it, like, just leave the room. Yeah, we're done. I got my compliment. I'm just gonna move my skirt down a lot. Uh, Captain Duker, did any of the tables from that location get picked up by the Old Town Square location? So it was a mixture between, I think, the, um, three different owners who, who owned all of those, and all of the ones that Kim owned. You You got a ball set. Stayed in the Old Town location and, oh, no. Are you 14 kidding me? I would never 14 kick you. That was some BS. I like that. Oh, I read the next one. I like it. What's the next question? Read it, read it, read it, read it, read it, read it. All right, all right, wait. Did everybody answer that? Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah. Everybody answered that. We lost Dice. I know. Dice, are you still in here? Are audio issues unspeakable? It appears to be AWOL. Yeah, I don't know what happened. He said he was super stoned, so maybe he just needed a nappy nap. What? That happens to me. Yeah, nappy naps happen all the time. So what is your favorite good deed? Janelle, what do you mean by this question? What would you describe as a good deed? Uh, something that enhances somebody else's day. Okay. Um, and not necessarily to the chagrin of your own, but just something that, like, is, like, your go-to for, like, making somebody else feel good. Right? Okay. Uh, do you have, do you have an example? um so for i mean it could be like i was gonna go into like what i do but like so i could be like i don't know you like in a long line of cars you like let the one car in who's waiting right like you're that person or you open the door for people or you know like if you're tc punk asked I open doors for people sometimes. Is that a good deed? I would think that is. And I think it's one of those things that's just like, what made me think of the question was actually the opposite of a good deed, was like a guy opened a door for a girl, and she was like on her phone, and she just walked through, and he like went back, shut the door, and pulled her out, and like brought her back out to the sidewalk, and shut the door and went in. See, what I'm saying is, like, it's a good deed, I suppose, but I feel like that's, like, bare minimum. It's, like, there's some, like, level of, like, minor responsibility that's, like, not an inconvenience to you at all, really, by, like, two seconds, if that. I feel like... Yeah. Like... Yeah. There's some minimum ask right there. It's just, like, hold the door for a second longer, like... Right. I don't know. I mean, it's good. I guess in the sense that the opposite would be bad. Boys are cutting out or, like, studying at honors would be bad. Yeah, definitely. So, Tracy, what is your, like, something that you like to do that is just, like, a little bit outside yourself? I mean, I try to text people or, like, send them pictures or stuff. I don't know. okay i mean i guess every now and then okay yeah no i'm thinking about them or whatever maintaining communication as much as i can with you know everyone's going through their own shit so like you know i'm obviously going through my own shit but you know i try to when i can you know reach out just randomly or like even like post an old picture or something like that yeah no I get that that's huge especially in this like information era where like we are inundated with just everything and and somebody reaching out to you um who's the world um I just like I want to ask a real like what his to be this but I like I just like this is like it's a personal thing like like I I was divorced a little over a year ago and I just like eventually like people stopped reaching out people stopped I stopped anything. Oh, I let that drain. And it sunk. And it got lonely from time to time. So those memes and those pictures and stuff like that mean a lot. So, yeah, that's awesome, J.P. So, Rio, what's your good feeling? Um, I don't know. I have, I guess, two. At work, this doesn't sound like this is such a good deed, but sometimes it isn't really done when it's supposed to be done. I really try to go out of my way to acknowledge people that are more junior than I am about the work that they do. I like that. Because I think it's important for people to have positive reinforcement, even if, you know, I think it's much better to try to help people improve in a positive way. So I tend to emphasize credit before I take it for myself, I guess. I like that. Whether or not I succeed at that, it's at least a cognitive decision that I make. and the other is that I haven't done this in a while because I haven't gone out of my house in two years but on occasion I would give a big tip for a specific reason and I would just try to find something about somebody who is doing a good job at being a waiter or a waitress or whatever. Just be like, you know what, here's another. And I would tell them, I'd be like, I'm putting another 20 on here for your tip because you came and asked me three times if I needed soda when I was left. It just totally doesn't matter. Throw away stuff. But I've found that that really seems to put a smile on people's faces. That's awesome. Compliment them as often as possible, like whenever you talk to them and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Before I go to George, I want to go to some of the chat stuff. RetroGameGal says that they like to compliment people on their appearance as much as possible. There was something about opening doors. George combed his hair. Um, maybe I missed it. And yes, Kirk Hobbs, I did move recently. This is the new house. Um, yeah, I don't think, sorry, Kirk Hobbs, as far as like people picking sides, I don't think that's the case. George and I used to be a part of a very large friend group. At one time, over 20 people in this friend group. What? 20? Really? Yeah. Really? I counted. Okay. I can believe that. And just over time as we became more adult-ish, some of those communications fell by the wayside. and when I got divorced, it's not so much that people picked sides. I think it's just an artifact of life. And people got caught up in their own stuff. George, what is your good deed that you like to do? I mean, I like to get people coffee. In a silly way, like, I will show up with a Starbucks coffee or a Daz Bog or something like that. That's always fun. Another thing is I grew up in a ridiculously competitive household. so uh it took it took the majority of my 20s to get to a point where i could do things like not get upset about losing something as stupid as a board game and then a lot of my i feel like 30s perfecting the art of not really caring about competitive things so i feel like uh and this doesn't seem silly, but when I see that competitive nature in other people and how important it is, figuring out how to, I don't know, create situations where people can have that awesome moment, right? That it was close, came down to the wire, but let's... You're supposed to get going and you're going to get stuck. I don't know. It's... I like that. I like that a lot. Like, trying to create memorable, awesome, great moments, as opposed to caring so much about winning or losing. Because I don't... Being able to look back on a really fun time, or a really enjoyable experience, and I think that's just me getting older, in general, is so much more important than what actually happens there. And maybe that's also being a parent. You get to a point where you occasionally want to feed your kid a win on something, but at the same time you don't want them to ever get to a point where they expect or see or feel a win that isn't warranted. Like, somebody worked for it, and they deserve a win because of the effort they put in or the training or whatever that is. And I'm good with that. I don't need to win anything, I feel like, for the rest of my life. Like, I just would. I'm, yeah, I'm good. You're winning at life, George. Chaotix. Yeah, Chaotix. that they treat people with respect. And that's awesome, right? That's huge, right? Like, that's the baseline. Just treat everybody with respect. Chris goes, I just agreed to coach a six-year-old girls soccer, and I'm bringing all my pinball lessons and lingo with me. I like it. Chris, go pinball. That's huge. bring it alright you're up trap up that ball shoot it into the big giant scoop wow that question kind of gave me all the feels I don't know about you guys yeah that was a good one oh I didn't go into my good deed huh? my good deed oh my god Jill what is your good deed? wait a second there now please I like to, I'm a listener sometimes, or I pay attention to what people say sometimes. And I like to show people that they're important to the world and to the individuals around them by pointing out things that, like, maybe they said just slightly under their breath, or, I don't know, just picking up details in what people say and stuff like that. It's just... You do a really good job of that. I do want to throw out, like, Janelle is borderline eidetic memory, especially for things said or words or feelings or situations. Like, you will pull that back years later and contextually make it important or seemingly make sense in a given moment. And, yes, you do that really well. Yes. I don't know. I just know it feels good to be seen. And sometimes helping people feel that they are seen and heard is my good deed. I can confirm this. hanging out with the two of you just for an hour or so. It was really apparent that both of you were kind souls. It was really fun having drinks with you two, Drea. It was. And we had cheese curds, and they're good. Well, I lived in Wisconsin for many years. So, yeah. Okay. I'm going to move on to the next one here. And this is a really good question. Total change of subject, by the way. Retro Game Gal, thank you so much for those bits. And also all the feels. Death Save Dave, welcome to the stream. And, okay, we're caught up after that. So this is the fun one, and we should just jump into this before there's too many feels. But Zombie Apocalypse movie team, you need to choose four famous people to be on your team. Who are they? I'm going to go to Surreal. All right. Surreal, you're first. Four famous people? I have to pick four? Yes. Oh, geez. I probably start with Napoleon Dynamite for his computer hacking skills Awesome Cool Makes total sense The Rock because we need muscle That was my number one right there. I have no question. The Rock was there. That's a pretty good one. Yep. He's also the babysitter. He's really good with kids. Yes. That's true. He's just like the Jews. He can play a Tooth Fairy as well. Yep. Ha! Petro Game Gal has some rockin' tom Antonio Cruz. Okay. Oh, sorry. I didn't. Thank you. Death Save Dave. I feel like I should pick somebody who's really... Oh! Who's slower than me, so when I'm running away, I can make it. Just trip him. you want someone to bait on your teeth exactly I need a Jack Black oh my god that's a Jack Black Jack Black is surprisingly nimble what about his brother Kyle me and my brother Kyle we're walking down a long and lonesome road I don't know and then I guess for the fourth one and it would have to be Anne Hathaway, because I want Anne Hathaway to be with me during the zombie apocalypse. Oh, now we know who your free pass is. Yeah, exactly. You mentioned that before. Okay. I don't remember. Is that your number one? Yeah, she's probably number one on the list. I don't know. I mean, the list, usually when I'm trying to go on with the five on the list, It starts with Anne Hathaway and then it just trails off to nothing. So I guess that's it. It starts with Anne Hathaway. Right. Where Anne Hathaway will, she Hathaway. Was that five? So we have The Rock. That was four. Do I have to have five? I'm the first, I guess. No, sorry, four. It was four. Sorry. Yeah, it was four. You had The Rock. Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway. Napoleon Dynamite. Oh, John Heater, who is from where? He's from here. Sorry, he's from what? He's from Fort Collins? It doesn't matter. Any B actor. Okay. Okay. Okay. Kevin Hart. No. Not a B actor. Also, Kevin Hart is ridiculously thick. Yeah. He would outrun you in a second. Oh, my God. I've seen his fitness stream, like, on Insta. Yeah. So, like, I don't know. Jonah Hill. Oh my gosh, did you just put me up and down? You kicked your foot. Okay. Jonah Hill, done. Okay. Eloise also might be an actor. So, Tracy, four people. You're up. On your zombie apocalypse team. Oh, gosh. You would think I'd have time to think about this, but... Can I pass? Yeah, you're pretty good. I gotta really think about this one. Okay. I gotta think really wisely. I gotta think really wisely, yeah. I'm, okay. I'm going then. I'm gonna say The Rock. No question, he's my number one. I'm also gonna say Dave Bautista, just in case The Rock turns out to be a jerk. Like, and you need to have that big fight and the separation between people. Like, I'm going to choose either one or the other. Yeah? Sorry, do you need to mute it? Yes. Okay. So that is that button on the side. Interesting strategy to assume that your team is going to split. Oh my, have you ever seen Dawn of the Dead or any other situation that involves multiple people? Hey, Jay-Z. Yeah, I guess that's a good point. Hey, guys, let's go check out, let's split up and check this out over here. Jay-Z, hold up. You should come back out here. I just don't trust the mute button on those. Let me see it again. No, no, no, no, don't take that off. There you go. Oh, wait a minute. No, that's the wrong thing. I can't remember the theme song anymore. We're just going to leave that there. oh my god it's not muted we can just have save dave thank you exactly so dave bautista the rock is there is there like a really smart very muscular person can i get the best of both worlds somehow i don't know oh how about okay sorry instead of dave bautista i go john cena So, John Cena, The Rock, and then I just need a really, really smart person in general. I don't know why, but Emily Blunt always seems to me to be, like, one of those ridiculously intelligent people. How about Stephen Hawking? Oh, wait, he's passed away. Yeah. If zombies can exist, he can also exist again. Okay, I mean, wait, wait, well, I feel like it changes things if we can pull from history. From everyone who could potentially, like, wouldn't at that point he just be a zombie? Easy bait, high chair, slow him down. That's a good point. That's a really good point. Wait, wait, Retro Game Gal, are we doing actors or specific movie characters? Because that may change things. I'm going with actors. well does does neil degrasse tyson count then he did cosmos he did he's also not a very physically fit person so he'd be great you didn't ask for somebody physically fit you asked for oh yeah i guess he did ask for both didn't you yeah if if you have to pull somebody back as a as a zombie, zombies are, like, technically possible, and I'm gonna go with, um, the, um, there was a great book series done, uh, not what else she came, it was, um, The Girl With All The Things. It was a really fun book series, and it had to do with, um, zombies being a, um, like a fungus infection. And there are proven and existing types of fungus and animals that can perform a pseudo-mind control zombie thing on insects. Yeah, zombie ants totally exist, yeah. Yeah, zombies do exist. We just don't have a way that we know of, which is really interesting because there are types of bacteria that they evidently are questioning might be doing things like making us want more sweets. Like it's subtle. It's nothing significant. It's not like you're going to eat your grandma, but it might make you appreciate sweets more than normal or something like that, which helps keep it alive. So, who knows how much our, like, gut bacteria actually impacts how we think and do things. So, at the end of the day, I don't think zombies are impossible. And it wouldn't surprise me if it does happen at some point in the future. I just want to be prepared for that situation. Did this conversation escalate? No, no, no. It was the question as to, like, for whatever reason as I was describing that. Are zombies really possible? and I do think there's a precedent in... So... Go ahead. Sorry. There is a fungi that takes over spiders. Did you put the microphone back on? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Yes. Chasey, serious? Yes. Oh, wow. Yeah. So there is a fungi that makes zombie ghost spiders. And I have a picture of it because I was reading. While you were in the bathroom, we were talking essentially about that. No, horrific article on zombie ghost spiders. And then we went to Portland. Yes. And then there was like an empty like animal thing, but there were zombie ghost spiders in the thing. And so it's like a fungi that takes over the spider's body, like the spider touches it or whatever. and then it like eats the spider's brain and kills it and then it reanimates it. Whoa, whoa, Taylor throwing out very complicated names. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. Is that the zombie ghost spider? I'm guessing that's what it is. It's either that or that is the name of Tool's third album. Which is actually lateralis. All right, Maynard, you've got it. Maynard has been a tool since the Agermeister. Yeah. So, yes, there is, like, I mean, yes, nature is more scary than what our minds can conceptualize. Like, it's horrifying. Whoa, I wanted a smart and intelligent person on the team. Dolph Lundgren knows seven languages, fourth degree black belt. Oh, that's true. Had the master's degree in chemical engineering, and he was awarded a Fulbright for MIT. I'm guessing Fulbright is some sort of an award that allows you to go there for free? Yeah. Like a scholarship? All of that's true, by the way. Okay. I don't know why I didn't think of that. The Rock and Dolph Lundgren. Right there. Making that happen. Dolph Lundgren. And then I'm going to go with Emily Blunt, because she seems very intelligent. Is that because she's British? yeah maybe that's it I don't know I just always like when I think about intelligent actors I think of Emily Blunt I don't know what to say about that she played her role as well she which is funny because um sorry there was a movie she did that was basically Groundhog Day but with aliens it was called Die Tomorrow yeah lived I repeat lived I repeat or sorry uh um surreal you actually said the real name before they before they rebranded Edge Edge of Tomorrow Edge of Tomorrow which is a great movie with Tom Antonio Cruz right yes I need I need Emily Blunt from that movie and I know earlier we said actors and actresses or the characters they play but in this instance I'm cheating and saying I need Emily Blunt from Edge of Tomorrow and yes He was He-Man, Retro Game Gal, in the live-action He-Man movie, which gets crapped upon, because I'm not going to swear, but I actually loved that movie as a kid. I thought it was excellent. Yeah, He-Man and Masters, or Masters of the Universe. He's got English timbers. I'm so sorry. It's hot in here. Maybe it's under. I don't know. It's the gym. Well, I'm going to hit play twice. Why don't you get us going here? And this is, let's say, the last game while I bring up... Sorry, you need to come up with your four people. My zombie list? Yes. Oh, no, I'm so sorry. I didn't come up with the fourth person. Welcome to Jurassic Park. Not so easy, is it? You have your hot person. You have your muscle. I have two muscles and intelligence. who's the intelligence? Yeah, so pick the hot person. Ian, you have another hot person, so are you going to go the surreal route and pick a sacrificial lamb? Like, just somebody I'd like to hang out with and, like, learn more from? Yeah, just, like, entertaining and intelligent? You know what? I'm going to go... So, Emily Blunt, The Rock, John Cena, and the character who played um, Dade Murphy from Hackers? Oh, uh, sugar, Johnny something. Oh, yeah. Did you know he and Angelina were actually... What? He was married to Angelina Jolie? Yeah, for like a few months. Oh my gosh. Johnny Lee Miller. Thank you. Yes, Johnny Lee Miller. That's Who I'd like as the last person on my team. It was either that or Angelina Jolie. Honestly, I was vacillating in my mind back and forth between those two. And I got to go with Johnny Lee Miller. I had no idea. You picked Zero Cool, and I picked Napoleon Dynamite. It's Chaotix. I almost said Keanu Reeves, just for fun. Oh, that would be good. Yeah, Keanu Reeves would be a cool one. I think I'd want Emily Blunt. is very popping and it's not being a podcast so she's got it in that bag that's a good point retro games y'all what did you say tracy in that case i choose felix felix the cat he likes oh my god we're going cartoons wow you're well he's like his bag looks like magical Does no one know about that? Am I the only one? Nope. Yeah, no. Sorry. Oh, man. So... The cat had, like, a medicine bag type thing. It opened up and you could all drink a bunch of stuff out of it. No. It was, like, bottomless. Um, so... Oh, I was totally thinking of the other cat. What was the... Never mind. he's Cliff or Garfield no it wasn't that either no it was the not Garfield Fritz Fritz yeah it was Fritz um I would not bring Fritz I would not say James I would not say the universe is I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend it who who wants it ow chaotic text text uh hot open a window laugh out loud yep true uh I think I'd want Emily oh you said one already Keanu Reeves yep he's a really good person he has the energy of it keeps the team level-headed yeah the bag of tricks um uh so I Matthew Lillard got it that makes sense alright he's also a huge He's a D&D fan, so I think that he has the ability to engage in critical thinking. Like, he's not lacking in critical thinking, because just being able to play D&D is not that... Nothing, I'm not going to say anything else negative about Matthew Lillard, because that's a trigger. He's a free pass for me. Okay. Wait, is he your hot person? Maybe. I mean, one of them. Charlie Theron. Ooh. Good thinking. He's the hot person. He's also a good pick. Yeah. And she's also kind of a humanitarian a little bit. And she is, I don't know. And then I'm going to diverge from actors. And, gosh, the Rockets is, but I just, can we say one of the Gracie guys, the Gracie brothers from MMA wrestling? Just the kids you have to fight with. Yeah, are people really the big issue? Yeah, so like one of those people, like the MMA fighter, somebody with skills. The Bracys are all I know. I don't know. Is Uma Thurman an answer? Robocop? I think Uma Thurman works. Are we saying they're fictional characters? yeah I mean they they are you afraid to do it either yeah that works well then sugar snaps uh so Matthew Lillard uh Charlize Theron but definitely her from the uh Hitchcock movie um I don't know like a slice between her from the Hitchcock movie and her in Monster. Like, I just, like, hold heart, like, super powerful. And Fury Road, I feel like she kicks ass, so. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be good, too. That's why I choose Tank Girl. Yeah. Oh, my God. Did you say Hit Girl? Tank Girl. Oh, Tank Girl? Oh, my God. I love that movie! Lori Petty, is that her name? Yeah, Lori Petty. I was, yeah, I, like, loved Larry Petty for forever. Who didn't? Gloria Petty was great. Yep. He was a kangaroo in that movie. Mm-hmm. The only time you ever wanted to be a kangaroo? And I want a doctor. Oh, doctor would have been genius. That's really tough. a physician. Like Dr. Phil? I don't know who that doctor is. You're being chased and he'll just be like, you are so dumb. Oh, Dr. Fauci. Wow, you're just, screw it, go Fauci. Wow. I would be a Star Trek doctor if I needed a doctor. Oh, what was the lady's name that has a thing right here on her cheek? Revenant 9? From Enterprise? Oh, yeah. Jerry Ryan. Revenant 9 is on Voyager. Oh. I feel like this has shifted just a little bit. Like, early on, we didn't really pick characters from television shows, and then it switched to characters from television shows. Like, I would choose Dr. Manhattan. Yeah, I think we go first. Yeah, yeah. We chose actors and not the characters, but I'm going Dr. Manhattan at this point. All right. So were you saying Seven of Nine? Is that, like, the person you would choose? She's definitely pretty smart. Or are you talking about someone else on Next Gen? No. I don't know any of the people you're referencing because I've never seen Next Gen. if we can pick characters I think I'd like to and pick Jack Torrance if you need somebody to act through a whole bunch of zombies he's your guy is that the 24 guy it's from The Shining oh well played it wouldn't be in a snowy backdrop though Ray, because I feel like that would be troubling. No, I'm imagining that it's Muggy. It's Jungle Terror. Muggy. Muggy. So, Tracy, you haven't answered this question yet. Do you feel comfortable going at this point, or do you want to skip? I'll stick with Steel is the Cat. Tank Girl. Oh, God, I had to a couple minutes ago, and I totally lost it. Oh, goodness. Jackie Chan. I'm sorry? Ooh, Jackie Chan is a great answer. Yeah. Yeah. Wonderful. Or Bruce Lee, which obviously is like, you know, the OG, right? Yeah. Right. Yeah. I mean, are we even dead or alive? I'm tired. I can't remember who else. I feel like I would go more like brains than brawn. You know, dressing 10 to kick butt, paint girls on my back, Josie Katz got a side of the trick, and I think, you know, your suggestion of a doctor is a good one. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go, speaking of Voyager, I'm going to go with the, hologram. I'm going to go with Molas was one of his names. The emergency holodeck doctor. I was trying to remember the hologram's name from Red Dwarf, but it wasn't coming to me. I haven't watched much of that, and I haven't seen what I have seen in freaking years. That's one of the things I have to get back into. What just happened? We lost a camera. Oh, we lost a face cam. Uh, hi, face cam. Is it hot? Did it overheat? Y'all are just too hot for it. Yeah. It overheated because of you two. Is that seriously what just happened, though? Oh, the HDMI cable looks like it's a little ajar. Hold on. Oh, you're back on. There we go. It doesn't say anything about overheating. But you touched it. Hmm. It was just low-main. Yeah, that was it. Oh, sugar. Somebody, something happened. Oh, my gosh. It is 1230. We have exceeded our standard time. All right. Wait, Trissie, your three were Felix the Cat. Yes. And then I was distracted after that. Felix the Cat, Tank Girl, Jackie Chan. Tank Girl's awesome. Okay. And the EMH from Voyager. The Emergency Medical Hologram. Okay. Yeah. That's also good because there's no fear because he can't be killed. right as long as he's not as hollow and bitter yeah oh and he also you know what's great about that is he can't be turned into a not just not killed but he can't be turned into a zombie if he's an android retro gang gal says that was a survivor theme brains versus brawn cf beauty 2 I think versus beauty 2 I think chaotic texas only fans I ran out. Dorkster says, I wrote an essay on Hawkeye Pierce in high school English. The teacher told me to look at other things he did. I remember Hawkeye Pierce. I don't even know that name. I thought you said Black Eyed Peas. This is from MASH. Chaotic Texas says, I love MASH. My wife thinks I'm weird since it wasn't really in my decade. Born in the 80s. But I love the show. Nobody picks the Stay Post first moment. And this is a surprise. Alan Alda. Thank you, Dorister. Yeah, that's really good. Alda. Alan Alda. All right, this is our last game. All right. No, take it. I'm not going to play. No, no, no. It's the last game, not the last of all. but I'm asking what is our what's the last question no don't conclude that there's actually two more questions oh two more questions so one is what is it that what event or thing that you think would break the internet I mean right we've seen like Facebook and Twitter and everything like that shut down for an interim period of time. So what would break the internet? When Batman the... Oh, no. George is nude. That might, Tracy, I might be on board with you there. Oh, my gosh. Just because, like, how, like, why does that even make sense? Exactly. There we go. And because, like, oh, my gosh, nakedness is just, like, What is going through his head? Like, really? Like, this is not something he would do. Might be a hundred years. Some could be. Mr. Scoot in a bathtub full of Pepsi with whiskey, drinking a bottle of whiskey directly from it. George Storch says Karen. Karen. TikTok in general might break the internet at some point. So this is like what like inspired this question when I wrote it down was that I was listening to NPR the other day and it said that the people in the Olympics are being encouraged to have burner phones and not their primary cell phones while they're in the Beijing Olympics because of the data that is collected while in Beijing. And so the Olympics officials are encouraging all of the players to have burner phones while they're there to utilize. And even like higher up team management or whatever are handing out burner phones to the players. Wow. To not utilize their primary phones because just like the infrastructure. And I don't want to get political, but. Interesting. So what would break the Internet? Wisconsin Cheese Curds for Life says Chaotix China Monitoring Everything COVID Quarantine Batman, Lieutenant Commander Data Doctor Doom, Saitama, One Punch Man Oh man It just changes things if it's the characters themselves By the way Mr. Hardluck and everyone If we're talking about Book and movie characters I would have four very different people I think that question gets a lot more interesting though My bad I got some freedom with that one. No, no, no. There's no bad. You're good. Yeah. China wins more due to lack of other athletes. They aren't allowed on the hub either. Chaotix, you are amazing. Thank you so much. My hat's off to you. Good night. I don't know what would break. I mean, Ralph breaks the internet. It's a whole internet thing. I know, but like what would, I mean, Define break the internet. Like something that gets 10 million hits? Like shuts it down, right? Well, I mean, a denial of service attack on DNS literally shuts down the Internet. Right, so demands have more demands than any server can output. A coordinated attack from multiple sources. A distributed denial of service attack. Boom, DDoS on Amazon. There you go, Dorkstar. That bringing down AWS would bring the Internet to a crawl. How about a gamma ray burst pointed at the Earth? That would do bad things. Yeah, let's not even talk about that. I don't think I have any of these acronyms that you're saying. I'm lost on this random assortment of letters. Okay, I can explain that one. A denial of service attack means that you do something that exceeds the limit of what a server can handle, and when it hits that, it typically breaks. So if you can perform that on DNS, DNS is the domain name system. It's the system that allows you to type in something like google.com and get to an IP address. An IP address is how Internet traffic is actually routed. It's a set of numbers, but we can't expect people to remember numbers. So we use DNS in order to get there. So if you can attack DNS, the Internet stops. and what happens to major corporations who expect millions and hundreds of millions of orders a day if you can bring down the ability to get to their internet-facing websites for a day, for half a day, for multiple days on end? It could be a hack-anonymous then. There you go. That sounds like... Would it be a hacker logging into Amazon and marking everything as free? So that's interesting. that, not that specifically, but that's... Yeah. You're going to say it on Twitch right now? Anonymous, get on that, please. Yeah, yeah. Make that happen. I know what everybody worked to make happen with GameStop. Let's do that with Blockbuster and reverse it with Amazon. I'm just saying, like, I think that's what would shut down the internet, is somebody hacking Amazon and making everything free. And so, like, locally, just, like, a little backstory, like Dunkin Donuts was not always here, right? Dunkin Donuts was not always here. But then they opened up. And when they opened up, they hosted a private event for like certain individuals who contributed to whatever. But somebody posted online because one person happened to, not even before their soft opening, one person like went through the drive-thru and like they were like whatever just give them donuts and one person went through the drive-thru and then posted online that like Dunkin Donuts is giving out free donuts today and that created like havoc everywhere like everybody in Fort Collins oh sorry do you have you I've multiple times that's up yes everyone knows I'm in Fort Collins uh like just like went to Dunkin' Donuts and just like shut them down. When they were like having this like private event it went out again. Oh wow. We lost the whole camera this time. It's fine. You know what we're going to do? We're going to switch over to this to finish things up. Yep. That's a black screen right there. We're going to get there. Oh no. No, no, no. We're good. That's what he said. Jay-Z over here. The plane is on fire. That's why. The stream is just hot, hot, hot. Yeah, exactly. Amazon's coming in and turning us off here. That's what it is, actually, yeah. Gotta be it. That's what I think would break the internet, is somebody hacking Amazon. Okay, I like that. Surreal, do you have any thoughts on what would break the internet? uh well I just had a gamma ray burst oh that's right I'm sorry then that goes off to Tracy do you have any thoughts on what would break the internet um gamma ray burst by anonymous by anonymous okay I like my totally like I feel like an honest Indian. I think they could do it. Is that like Lex Luthor hijacking the sun? So before we sign off here, yeah. We have some amazing people with us. I'm trying really hard to get Janelle to set up a Twitch account and start doing her dancing stuff first thing in the morning. and by trying really hard. I've only been talking about it for about two years now. So we're going to make that happen. And at the same time, if you have not checked out Surreal underscore seven or Outer Spacey Tracy, please do so. Surreal has yet to shout out himself here. Yeah, Surreal, please shout out yourself.
