Jesus! Whoa! Nice drop, buddy! Holy frickin' crap! That was awesome! Flickin' crack, frickin' crack. Whoa! Nailed it! Nice! I'm going to have the only under 5 million score.
0:32
You're going to have the only under 1 million score. Yeah. I'm just going to tilt my next two balls away.
0:40
Jason, we got door die yesterday. Nick nailed it. We haven't received door die yet here today. Nice shot. I don't even understand that.
0:55
Wow. Got is not a word, kids. Go time. Just straight spinning them spins. Um, you got a lot of money.

You want more? He's coming back for you, buddy Come on, bud My suit is better in every way My name's the Iron Monger Oh, you know what he's shooting for, ladies.
2:00
In the words of ACDC, bro. Ward machine. Oh, dude. This guy's just like a massage therapist over here.
2:14
Finding it. Kit Cristo! Thanks for the follow, buddy. Come on! Seriously! You join us every time to see me get my food is quite... Jesus Christ! It's like stupid early, dude. It's not post-pass early, but it's stupid early.
2:32
Not quite that early. How do you collect the puffs? Wait, how did you even do that?
2:45
Yes. Heaven is driving the truck. Oh! Monster. I guess one more time, right? I should probably hit the board machine, though. Because that's like... Or you can leave it for an awesome quarter ball. There we go. Oh, flip. Flip did. Flip did nice, T. Martha flipped it. This dude's about to just run a clinic.
3:20
Is that like he's in the safe place? I'm doing this for the kids, man. Oh, Buffalo, I watched that. What was his name? I want to say Logan, or I can't remember. But he was annihilating all of you guys.
3:40
Seven-year-old just taking it too hard. That's the thing with kids, man. They have that brain advantage. Whatever you call it. Learning. You got another one?
3:55
That's your second chain pot. Oh, flip or drop. So kids, all he needs is whiplash. In the same position I was, all he needs is a whiplash. To get to Dooberdie. doober that. Oh!
4:16
And the U-target says, you're done playing. All right, so... Nice ball, Gavin. Thank you. I am in no position to do anything. Gavin, you're doing it wrong. I got to win. You got to get second. Or else it's high.
4:34
927,000. Hold on, put my name up so everyone can laugh at me. There we go. I got you. Yeah. That's my score. Ball one. That was on ball one.
4:51
All right. There we go. So here's my approach. Monger's ready. We're going to lift him up, hit him in the crotch. He's going to scream in agony. We're going to shoot a spinner, hit him in the crotch six more times, shoot into his house over here. I believe that's his house. and then you have to do all sorts of other we're just going to beat the mongrel for now bogeys might be nice actually I haven't done anything on this board excuse me it's just one of those games kids That is pretty sad, Internet. Oh my lord It takes one ball man Just one ball Yo Lance Armstrong that shit That right Donate to kids It only takes one ball
5:50
Alright, here comes whiplash. Oh, that's all I tried to do the first time and I didn't get it. That was a good slap. Oh, double days are early. Oh, that was a good slap. That was a good slap. Rule number one, don't explain strats ever. Rule number two, refer to rule number one. Man, you can... We both made it this time. Egonomics. I will tell you, over-explaining and then immediately draining is... That's my middle name.
6:14
That's the dead flip motto. That's what we do. That's how we learn. Explain to the drain. Well, you have a Jericho.
6:30
So make sure you hang on. Oh, you have a ball. Add a ball also. In the December GameWorks tourney, I was playing with Josh Sharp and Roger Sharp. Yeah. Josh was able to hit whiplash flashing on his game. How? It tells you how on the display. You have to shoot 900 shots in two seconds? It'll just keep hitting whiplash, and it tells you how many more shots you've got to do. That's annoying. Whiplash is the dumbest multiball because they cranked down the ball save time.
7:02
That and like, oh, 250,000 for that shot, okay. What? It's only super dangerous. No! Hey, Craig. Oh! Lazarus! I hit it! Get your shot glasses ready, kids. Wow. That was pretty.
7:19
Kid Criso fell asleep at the wheel. That's my life. Disembario. I was working on a Mario Kart last night as well. Really? Mm-hmm. I didn't know you were going to do that. There you go.
7:36
Hit with flesh again. No, because I got... Now you got... Jericho. All right. Jericho. Here comes Nick's money maker.
7:53
Nailed it. That's a new target? Yeah. Oh! Oh, that felt good. Jason, the outing post is set as wide and open as possible. They're not out, but they're open all the way. Yeah, they're not out, but they're all the way open. What do you do first on Jericho? Top hole. Just complete bogey ramps, complete Iron Man, complete War Machine, complete Iron Bunker, complete Whiplash. What do you do? Oh, everything. I get reed.
8:22
There you go. Yeah, you hit no spinners. No spinners. Nothing. First off, don't do spinners. Oh, God.
8:31
It wants War Machine first. Let's tell it. Oh, Iron Man, Iron Monger. You can do whatever you want. Ah!
8:39
Oh! Oh, my God! I haven't hit anything. This is... Doink-a-koe. Oh, my God! Oh, my God. Fudge! You know what? My one million, I don't feel so bad.
8:51
Yeah. After that Jericho. Yeah. Do I get credit for that Jericho? You got 1.587 or something on Jericho. so Jack still scored more during his two crappy balls than you did in Jericho. I'm just going for a monger next time. Yeah. Donate to kids. Oh man, I gotta have a monster ball. Monger. It's pronounced monger. Monger. Oh monger, that's it. Take it off fellas, see you tomorrow. Alright, Crystal. Bye bye. What are you, Crystal? See you Thursday. Is she coming here tomorrow? She's coming here tomorrow. Are you prepared? I'm ready. Ooh, tip off. Drop it. Beautiful U-target shot.
9:48
Crystal, we'll take some extra spicy chili. I'm just saying. Oh, here comes Jericho. Again. With double scoring, no less. Why is it double scoring? Because I completed Iron Man the second time. You did that on purpose, yeah. Second Iron Man is double scoring. What, for the whole table? Yep. Except it's counting down right now.
10:14
Oh, boy. Oh, it was counting through the... Yeah, it wouldn't let me hurry it up, but... Uh, if you don't tilt... Oh, no, you're definitely on the board.
10:31
Yeah, you're on the board with that. Alright, that Jericho is a little bit better than yours. Gavin slathers his dirty initials on our machine. Woo! Did he make it? Yeah, he made it with 55. 54 is when you made it. Oh, I'm knocked out. No, you might be fourth place, because 53 or 52 is... Oh, gotcha. So I'm in what's called jail or...
10:55
Screwed? Screwed. I'm not even going to explain what I'm going to do. Why don't you set it up and go for the Hail Mary Ding Dong and go for the Jericho Almighty... What do they call it? Dude or die Oh god Dude and dies The dude or dies
11:36
Got this, bro. Breathe, focus, chi. There's also the, you know, hippie garbage. What? I didn't mean to flip at that. Get the bag.
11:55
Clean? Oh, I love you. Oh, shit. If you tilt on me, I will... I will light you... I will light you on fire. I won't light you on fire. The owner's here.
12:22
Nice hit. Take that in the face, monger. That's a face hit work to you, huh buddy? In the face. That's a face hit work to you. Oh, don't even do this to me right now. Get out of here. I'm going to bogey this stuff.
12:41
200,000. Not bogey. Oh. Whoa. Nice save. America. Do it for America. Good punch. I am a real American. Yeah, yeah. Fight for my... We're playing pinball here to protect you from them over there. From them over there.
13:17
Vague, vague, vague. Oh, I wanted a non-fly backhand. Oh, you totally did that. Oh. I could have just slapped it and I freaking pulled it.
13:33
That's a pretty brave move for being on double danger. Okay, Internet. Did I say brave? I meant foolish.
13:41
If I beat Gavin at $55 million, then we will be, thank you, Jack. A three-way tie. It's too hot for that shit. Yeah, totally.
13:53
It will be a three-way tie between the three of us. Oh, my God. If I do not make it past Gavin, that means Gavin wins for tonight. No. Yeah. No. Afraid so. No.
14:05
If I take... Oh, wait. 25 minutes. Shit. All right, you donate to kids. Donate. Kids. If Jack was a slug, he would be dead by salt now. That is true.
14:23
My brain stopped working there for a second, and I shook at the game. Oh, no, you shook-knighted it. I shook-knighted the game.
14:35
Oh, man. I might be done playing pinball, but I ain't done drinking. 200,000. 400,000. Oh man, I was feeling it. I know, it's looking good. Are you looking good? This is ball three. This is ball three, man.
15:03
What, should we turn it to four ball play? In the middle of the game. Loving every bogey moment. Oh, that's right. You already went through that mode on once. Yes. Let's go. Oh, you are. Oh! JD the hell up. Oh, backhand. Backhand. Catch. Holy flip. Now, the question is, do you complete Iron Man and get double scoring before you go for it? For bogeys? Yeah. Oh. That means every shot's going to be about two plus. That's what I would do. Two plus mil more. I'm just saying. I mean, I got to go for it. Or do you believe Gavin's not lying to you?
15:49
One more hit. Oh, no, this guy's... This guy showed up. Hey, guys! Who invited you? Hey! Bogies? Bogies. Can I get Iron Man after Bogies or after Monger? You can get it after, sure.
16:11
You have to complete Monger so it'll disable it, though. Yeah, to get rid of him. Not hit a ramp. To get rid of him, you've got to defeat him. Now it's enabled. So one more hit, we'll start double scoring.
16:25
Now you've got double scoring. Now I train. Now I finish. So what's two? Oh, man. Gavin. Put in his gnarly initials. Sneaks in.
16:42
Went for the double. Gavwant! Don't even fucking do it. Will it fit? Okay. It's not enough characters to... Good. Oh, you can tell by the size of the letters? Yeah, well, entering initials is three or ten. So, I need at least twenty to do pew pew pew! Typically I like to put in Jack beat Gavin ass on pinball machines Because I like to put in Gavin beat Jack ass Because it fits Because it fits but there has to be tournament play Remember, Colgate to kids.
17:19
So Gavin is the big winner tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Gavin freaking Gavin. We were all a point away. The skunk leaves his mark, says Jason.
17:33
So yeah, Gavin got eight points. I got seven, Nick got six. This is going to be great for my IFPA scoring. Yo! You mean your DFPA. Oh, we meant to tell you about that. What?
17:48
Well, let's do the math. Three people showed up to the tournament. One game. You had to play one, two, three, four, five, six games. We did, for sure. So that would leave us with, I got to get the spreadsheet out, But I think we get the winner gets like a quarter of a point my man
18:08
Magical points because with three people here, it's automatically cut in yeah, it's turned into garbage way down These aren't pretty close
18:21
Fifty five seven fifty nine five. Oh, I think you get 54 And then 73 is Who knows what that is? I don't know who that is. That's when we all started putting deadflip in. That was like a year ago. Yeah, that was a while ago. Well, folks, thanks again for another awesome fight. This has been Iron Man. We'll see you guys tomorrow, 5 p.m. Central. Thanks to Gavin for showing up. Thanks for Gavin kicking our butts.
