welcome everyone we're here in sunny somewhat Sunny Riverside California open championships says Raymond Ashby with uh Escher lefkov and Levy Naaman and we're here for some hot pinball action let's dive into it some Arena don't see this game every day ah Arena skill shots very important if I recall so the Crux of this game is you make your skill shot which is this giant thing up here and uh you just need to get in the million hole oh that wasn't a great great Arrow but you can see the gold million there and uh the best way you play the game is you just lock balls and you can feed the in lane and you just keep going for skill shots over and over and over and over again until you make a few where would you lock a ball uh left orbit so you spelled l okay not quite l-o-c-k top Ledger locks you hit the left orbit if I remember light your Locs and then lock it in the left orbits and then you can get to multiple as well which I think is decent points but we're really talking about loking and skill shouting yes it's all about that skill shot if you look at the scores from the last game like right here you can see that a million was the difference yeah right wait that is insane that someone just won by 120 points so this is uh this is the top group here this is not the top group this game's gonna take a little longer we're not near the end so we're going to follow this group because we thought we would see more play there's not going to be as much waiting so people get more action we got Kyle Smith of San Diego with 40 points Zachary Parks love Zach I've been playing with Zach uh Chicago very underranked uh 353rd right now on ifta but uh you got to watch out for him I've been playing with him for like over a decade we are here to start Kyle Smith coming up let's see if he knows where this skill shot is and what is the target uh number of points that they're trying to get in the store you need to get 270 and we have someone with 52 already all right so let's see Kyle's entering the skill shot Derby it looks like he uh kind of knew what he was doing to lose oh that's it nice nudge is that it yep one million I thought you guys to get more excited for that oh well it doesn't matter he made a skill shot so yeah right that you did the most important thing uh and how do you get the ball up into the loc Lanes uh left orbit oh left orbit yeah right that uh opens once uh all right Zach here comes the young man I know for a fact he does not know his skill shot so let's see yeah let's see how he does what do you think is he do you think tend to go over under when they're new to the skillshare well see it doesn't really matter because it kind of goes around and around that looks good oh no not quite focus 25. way under but he will adjust on his next skill shot but yeah

    nice cradle there oh nice you can also shoot the green letters but I don't remember exactly what they do it's been a while since I played this game
    4:23
    oh now it does I think I don't I don't know this game I'm sure someone in chat is probably owned one yep well it's fine we'll just uh watch it we'll just call it as we see it and uh he's currently flailing around hasn't really hit anything since that bad skill shot and the ramp which didn't do anything there we go there we go you got an L so he needs two more to light his locks but the return from the pops was very safe and this being a gauntlet you want to hit the lot look letters yes the lit ones yeah and they go unlit what's he trying he keeps trying to kind of do that what he's just trying to get to a cradle yeah he's just trying to get he's a very controlled player yep and unfortunately he loses it out the left Outland gonna have Tom Graf of uh Wisconsin pride of Wisconsin yep yep Tom Graf has come here to uh show us how to put they've got to have one of these at d82 maybe not no they don't have any God leaves of this era not like they have old Godly well this would fit right in with the uh some of the Oddball stuff they have over there they do have some oddballs and let's see how Tom does on a skill shot you have to spell pit to uh get the uh return for these guys I see so the pit is the green letters you see across the Playfield yeah all right so he went for the spinner not the spinner got a cradle here all right he's gonna go tries for the ramp and the Spinner's lit as well yeah he keeps going back for that spinner when it was lit and uh you can't blame these players for shooting spinner on this game even though the million is truly where the points are at yep because on almost every other Godly from this era lid spinner is the entire game and if you go to the uh leaderboards um everyone's close like everyone's bunched up in skills Yes except for Ron Howell Jr who is running away all right well so he's got these stand-ups behind uh the drops those paying attention at home you've noticed that he's hit a lot of shots for about a hundred thousand versus Kyle Smith who hit zero shots and is ten times the score yep
    6:26
    unproductive ball um yeah he got one uh lock Lane he is ahead of Zachary though and uh Danielle is in this group with the classic mud flap sweatshirt he's reading up right now he's reading up on his tips yep yep yeah no I barely recognize him with his glasses Oh Oh that's oh okay well it's up in the fifth that's 50 000 okay that's not bad let's see if he makes his first shot you could have been going for that ramp yeah you have to notice that there's these giant Yellow rubbers on almost every shot on this game yeah right those are not Factory those are not Factory at all yeah so he's definitely chasing off of those Lanes at the top yep
    7:17
    it went early once late once that's the ramp now the pit was yes so no yeah you got to still spell pit yeah there we go up to the lock letters got one so it comes on the right let's see if he goes right back up the spinner is kind of the most important shot oh so he just needs to pee right oh that Spinner's good points actually it's like over a hundred thousand yeah and you got to go up there anyway so yeah I mean might as well right nice rock catch one I thought that was trouble but uh that little post saved him [Music] all right all right so he gets he locks two balls on the left orbit oh wait no he got a lock so he's ready to go here we go skill shot I promise it up up okay not bad that's a hundred thousand right no it's something 75 still not bad not quite strong enough oh no that was wrong enough gets his lock it's one more shot I think it just starts multi-ball now
    8:20
    yeah I feel like if I I you really gotta nudge it up there you got those giant rubbers on every single one of those posts you gotta work a little harder so I guess you hit the O and lock and it'll start multi-ball good demonstration on uh what to do on this game he leaves two locks I believe you can steal locks on this game very possible so for those of you who have just joined us this is Arena from Gottlieb and uh just as uh Escher predicted one skill shot is good for first place right now one successful million point skill shot and uh danielli got a good amount of score though without hitting the million oh the the double around oh the master of the skill shot not quite it was a little short you got to be perfect I thought you know he made it look so easy on the last on the last Plunge oh okay you guys Inland lights a spinner
    9:10
    [Music] way too much yeah you don't get warnings on these got live games I don't think uh I think it might flash a little bit I don't know but there's no D bouncers
    9:26
    way too much yeah you don't so yeah you don't see a lot of these games around uh that's uh the benefit of coming to indisk is you know there's going to be some weird games in the banks yep it's like when was the last time you saw a twister in a main bank when was the last time you saw mystery castle in a main bank last year yeah it's back back to haunt us all with mystery what would in disc dare do it twice in a row they did they did Here Comes Zachary all right so he's got more information now about the skill shot he will adjust
    10:04
    the one finger let go and here it comes and oh this is looking good and oh back to the story five cheer up young man you still got a nice full head of hair nothing to worry about all right if you uh you knew Zach back in the day back when he was like 11 and 12 he actually had hair down to his waist and he actually uh donated his hair did he he did very Civic minded exactly it was so surprising seeing him after his hair had changed you see a little little tap over yeah he's just trying to find a way to get the ball to the he's trying to hit that ramp that's a really clean drop catch there all right here we go spinner
    10:47
    okay well he went late so you go a little earlier Nice Shot perfect so it does keep your lot progress nice good oh and he's in no it just it just kicked it out yeah all right let's see if he uh gets multiball or if he gets to plunge I think it's just multi-ball so there should be multi yeah there we go so and is there anything to do here are you just going to the chopper I mean there's no jackpots lights better hit spinner yeah I don't see any jackpot or anything of that nature already up to 410 000 points let's say you're speaking of points pretty fast actually what you can do I want to say you can actually spell pit and lock a ball during multiball well that is the end of his multi-ball and and someone in chat correct me if I'm wrong I'm pretty sure you can actually lock a ball during multiball and then play multiball with the ball you can't Carl's shaking his head Carl knows this game he I feel like Carl's waving off the chat on that one yeah but all right so he spelled pit come on Zach come on buddy come on make it interesting let's go really gotta get that million on this oh he's pointing at it all right he's calling his shot here it comes all right here we go here we go you know he had the right idea on the last one it just went South is that a special on the bottom one oh he gets 50. he's okay well bringing up his score trying to get Danielle at this point but he's far away from his next pit yep that goes I'm curious up and then outline I wonder what this light is on up here sorry Carl I stole your drawing
    12:14
    um ramp something maybe it lights you around ramp value that's what it says all right here comes Tom Graf the pride of Wisconsin
    12:34
    I'm surprised uh no one is going for the direct in or the uh the ones the one spin everyone seems to be going for the second I bet the shooter it's pretty oh nice save no dangers all right his Pit's been spelled I think yeah it should have been because you get the T for free from the skill shot
    12:57
    some drops there it was a really nice sling coming up all right here we go part two all right third attempt let's go everyone is gone so he's going direct yeah I like that way more yeah than going around there's way less that can less friction on the ball less I guess difference of how it all works honestly it's kind of a bummer that Zack stole that multiball I think the two skill shots or three skill shots you get for locking a ball is way better value than all right
    13:31
    gives you that chance to find it and most of these players know once they find that skill shot they could hit it again so it doesn't look like you can jostle this one a little bit it does look like it but uh was it Daniel either tilted yeah yeah but he gave it a real whack all right let's see all right he's trying to go now very direct settle in people
    13:55
    [Music] that's gonna give him the lead yeah he's way in the lead putting the pressure on Kyle to uh make another skill shot which is good and he gets enough right now yeah Zach did him a favor by releasing the balls it gets two more free skill shots you just gotta do exactly what he did before this is looking short yeah that's not bad another 75. you know that's happening it's getting to a million I mean you're gonna be way behind nice drop catch [Music] good patience there's a reason this guy has won he's won more than one World Championships just won a lot of things dude can flip you know nice there to avoid the Allies oh that would have been another skill shot right if he had only pulled that off if he yeah used his Lane you know sometimes it can be harder than it looks yeah especially on the got leave because you have to let the flipper Go in all the way right right because it's in the it's in the uh and the stroke switch yeah he's got his second lock and here is another skill shot and this isn't looking so hot yeah that one didn't kind of like rattled out of the second that's why I really think going direct is your best course of action all right so this is a multi-ball no more skill shotting for now but uh more importantly he needs to get a million ahead of Kyle Insurance yeah exactly make Kyle do more because Kyle has struggled hitting any shots oh it did make that shot yeah yeah I mean Dan he only has scrounged up a lot of points out of the skill shot uh Zone yeah and it was all through his spinner rips
    15:33
    Spinners lit ah oh you get a lot of time to hit that spinner it's still lit oh oh you can hear it yeah I don't know if you guys can hear it but we could hear it they could hear it yeah man spinner is lit again but it's gonna get another one oh no he's not all right he does have that million point lead that he wanted yep so that's uh that's good
    16:00
    that return When you if you just dead bounce like this right here he's gonna dead bounce that's perfect yeah it seems like every time that's gonna work yeah even it rejects sometimes but you get it back so it's nicely fine yep all right here we go one out of three
    16:17
    I hope Tom was watching because he has expended a lot of uh not Thomas sorry it was uh Parks uh suspended suspended a lot of capital trying to get that ball over the right flipper yeah looks like if you just kind of let it drop out of there yeah good shape all right here we go man it was money oh no he switches it away it's like he said he didn't he did or The Flipper go all the way down I mean I don't blame him I would have been doing the same thing and there he goes all right here we go
    16:50
    we're learning how to play it oh there we did he get that he did not get ninety thousand he got 25. I really don't think he did he got some points all right bump over nice nice oh that would have been a really unfortunate way to drain see look at that patience there on the lane changing he's learned his lesson yep all right come on show us a million oh I got a good feeling about this it's not even lit for the million weird or maybe it is so rain Valley zero is it always look for a million Carl no it's not lit for a million oh well there's more to this game than making your skill shot maybe spelling pit is how you like the middle and we've got multiple it doesn't really matter yeah I mean this game is a Grind game right you play longer than your opponents and make at least a million on one of your skill shots you're probably in good shape like every other guy
    17:49
    oh my goodness down the alley almost approaching he's going for that eye nice was the eye so he spelled pit so yeah there's a million is flashing again so I guess he gets the uh this is wall blinking oh it stops wall
    18:06
    good that was big points he got about six thousand yeah yeah he's still pit again I don't know if that gets him anything but another nice spinner rip look at the echo another he's killing it and he has five skill shots worth it oh another another one oh another one it's gonna get him up over 606 million one more one more oh wait another one oh uh that was a very productive ball yeah I think so far so far he's got more got more work ahead of him and his ramp is now lit for a skill shot again which uh I assume he'll take yeah well he's he's aware all right here we go here we go here we go got the million million is lit and ready to go oh what does that one do that one's lit that's an extra ball that was worth what 550. five yeah sure I'll give me a 50 from the producer Carl all right that was a very good ball for uh 400k bonus too it was yeah seven million there for you know I don't think a steel shot gets Kyle there anymore he's gonna need seven of them hey but let me tell you one skill shot locking in second place right
    19:26
    that's why I'm gonna keep saying that the direct skill shot has got to be the way or maybe one rotation there's just something in human nature you want us you want to create extra attention you want to watch it go up you know what I mean it's like a lotto ticket that has three games on it yeah exactly you just wanna get the dopamine of watching the so you can't help themselves so you can either alley pass or he can hit the eye and re-light his skill shot that was a really scary alley pass uh you can't postpass on this thing I I guess not as I think Zach tried but gave up on it yeah Zach was really trying to move things with that there you go let's watch his alley pass again because that was about as late as you can go there he comes early so early no that was just how we drew it up yeah very nice fast that's how you do it all right let's see it again
    20:22
    uh uh you know he's not not really not grounded he did it exactly the same thing again he did
    20:29
    feels comfortable with everyone at home right now go practice your alley pass this will not be lit now yeah no million lit but at least he can get practice I guess but it says Ram Valley is 115k so if he gets the outsides you get that let's see if he actually gets 115k he's at seven no wait he's at 1.3 yep yes yep sorry this is ramp value okay nice nice That's How We drained on ball one is that exact Mist down the middle
    21:00
    all right nice left catch all right here we go second in lane for his uh lock here big shot oh nice nice you needed that in Lane then hit a spinner
    21:16
    all right let's see if the alley pass is the exact same way see you third time's the charm maybe he gets scared and goes like a little earlier or man why mess with perfection oh see really early that time all right he was gone yeah
    21:39
    I gotta tell them I think that's that he deserved that drain there because he really should have just got his bouncy ball he had a shot that he was Finding and he I think he should have stuck to the plan because Zach is one skill shot away from just passing him all I know is that he is very happy at this moment that he got that first skill shot yes and it may or may not be enough depending on what happens right now I got a good feeling about this one oh it's looking good oh okay a little lower he could have bumped it off that post there's a little more there all right so Zach's got work to do let's see if he's learned from watching uh but he's got on the right right now big spinner rip nice so it looks like his million is not lit so even if he gets his skill shot here anybody remember how you get that Lit uh spelling uh the green hit ah great all right but uh you can do that during your multi-ball you can and um and if you don't miss the spinner like you know like that all right let's see if he was watching I bet he Ali pass is here yes yep and there's like a little gate open so oh that sucks let's see if he was watching the dead bounce he was until
    22:53
    um yeah okay all right Tom graph once again is one skill shot away from making it really interesting not for Danielle but for the other two people right now
    23:06
    yeah yeah when the ball is on That Metal outline post there's really not much you can do and you know it seemed like it had been pretty friendly uh when it had some speed on it yeah the rattle Miss on the spinner was very friendly for a lot of other people but uh not so much for uh Zach there well Tom is trying to claw his way out of last place well and if he does it right the heat doesn't even need a flip yeah perhaps get a little five eggs
    23:38
    you know bonus for Danielle it was 400k and he had a decent amount of X I wonder if Tom hits this million I think he might already be ahead of Kyle 4X already 5S yeah all right because four plus one is fine all right here we go here we go here we go looking promising nice guys that's gonna put him in a second no whatever not yet let's see very close a little bit to get to first I don't know if you guys could hear him I heard a very audible woo from across the other side of the room there was a big woo tries the alley pass a little early so maybe hit that ramp right bonus rally is 25 000. do we know if that's multiplied I don't I wouldn't trust it but that spinner should get it good job he uh he did uh move his flipper in time and he's going up there all day very nice you got it you got it all right it's only 58 000. I don't think it matters when he plunges he gets there unless even if he gets to 25 he has it a bonus yeah now he's got the Italian champion and his sights yeah he's got a long way to go oh that's not the Run he wanted I'm pretty sure any of the other ones were good but you don't really want to nudge it here yeah I would think by now in bonus yeah yeah for sure it was another plunge yeah until he gets past Kyle he wants to just touch a feather yeah no matter what he plunges here he's ahead that is true [Music]
    25:12
    you know that's a really Brave nudge I don't think I'm nudging there I'm just taking my I'm taking my second place because uh Daniela is I wouldn't say unachievable but not in it's not worth it it's not worth it tilt there no not worth the millionaired all right here we go which hasn't been super good for anyone so far this game I don't know
    25:37
    it was like a milk that was a lot of points all right not quite a million but look I like the music I think you can spin or rip your way to get I mean that's how Dan yeah that's how Daniella got there yep Danny only had one skill shot I don't know what the other six million points had to come from somewhere
    25:56
    it's a little it's a 6X Playbook right now in multiball the multiplier oh the multiplier is not bonus it's uh see yeah play field multiplier you know I uh mentioned to my dad earlier that I was pretty sure that the Playfield was a Playfield multiplier and I was told that I was wrong immediately so I'm glad that I feel Vindicated Vindicated by our producer thank you Carl and I can only assume the chat all right and uh so he's in seven X play field yeah only a multi-ball apparently but oh get him I spin a rip here it's already turned out that was worth a hundred thousand points though if he has 700 multiple yep uh-oh so oh it nearly came back achievement hey you can't be too upset with second here Danielle I ran away with this game all right so uh this is 7531 scoring so uh Danielle is going to go up to 47 points Tom Graf will go up to 45. uh Kyle will go up to 43 and then Parks 41. yep wow that was exciting I don't know about you guys but uh it's not a game you see that often no I think we see it just enough which is I guess I think the last time we saw it was at Adam Becker's barn and ifpa give me one of those liquid deaths we got some if you come to the New York City pinball championship in October probably you can have as much liquid depth as you want yep I'm looking I might be out there big Whoppers big money no big Glory it's hard to get out to New York is the only problem yeah it's hard to get out here oh especially when the FAA makes it every Cancer started canceling everyone's flights but I think most people were able to make it out here though that was a huge hiccup though yeah I went up to Carlos and I asked him hey about 16 hours he's like yeah yeah in Denver so what happens now we wait we wait for the next round it might have been the last game I'll have a look oh that tends to be the longest game right with all the uh oh then Hilly's playing Daniel he's playing you know go for it you know it's a warm up for Classics tomorrow yep
    28:11
    he's so money on that spinner shot yeah he's probably like 80 90 accurate that's where it's at yeah anyway what about the skill shot oh nearly 75. good enough
    28:25
    how's everyone doing out there in chat land well we enjoyed Danielle's last ball Victory lap Victory lap oh 6X Playfield if you have any questions we do have some time we'd be happy to uh answer them oh yes is that six million points no it's only one million I thought he started multibally needs one more alive ah well whatever that's a million points ain't bad yeah uh closing in on 9 million he'll get oh he missed his skills or his Lanes you know he had it too I thought he thought he'd put that to bed yeah
    29:08
    how old am I I am 19 I turned 20 in May and uh Levy we have a question for you um would you come back to 82 uh District 82. uh sometime soon um it's been a while you're not gonna be out there in February no no I'm uh I've got to save my time off this year I might go to Europe to go to the whole thing yeah I'm I don't know if I'm gonna do the whole two weeks you're not gonna do the full two weeks meanwhile I can pull it off I might I'm not sure [Music] um I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do the full two weeks I gotta see with school and right when everything is maze are hard month but
    29:54
    and uh mercifully that game of arena is over so there is an interesting question in chat why are we not playing in this event um and I actually had an entrance ticket because I bought the all-in pass and I gave up my entry I think four days ago uh the reason I did that is that uh main qualifying is going on right now as well as high stakes and uh Classics match play uh last year I played in it and I had to play a few games that weren't even the main reason I wanted playing it is I wanted to warm up on the classics games and a lot of them didn't even end up there right yeah and I played on four games in a row that weren't in the classics bank and I went last last third or something and so I ended up dropping out not to like pursue preserve my rating or anything but right I just wanted to start playing in Maine well I'm with you on that I don't really want to do the Play Just Because I want to dive into this thing here yeah and yeah I know I've probably played you know I played five games in high stakes and I think like 18 games in Maine and this isn't even done yet and everyone even if you're mathematically eliminated from the tournament you're still you're not supposed to have to play and you can't bail out right so where are they gonna stop you can't force you to play yeah that's true so for me I um decided I need to make a division now I'm top 250 and I've been cruising around in B division and I need that extra day in qualifying for open I love this this is the funnest event I think here the classics the classic match right I love this event I didn't want to miss it if you really want to qualify for Maine and get more time in you got to play on Thursday yep and especially because the cues are so much lighter when there's 120 people playing over there exactly yeah it does beg the question why why are the three of us in the booth right now not playing uh practice over there I'm on a really good ticket right now and I need to cool off and think about it I needed to take a break uh I was getting into a void hole yeah and I have a decent ticket going nothing great but maybe something good enough to qualify it's a high speed is like 2.7 solid at high speed it's mean uh yeah yeah and the surfing Safari like 27. not bad and what was the other game I put oh Tron 39 nice scores that are like those ones you will qualify right the ticket I'm on I have 2.7 billion on World Cup soccer which I hope yeah I haven't had a chance to play yet uh I got 1.7 billion on twister that's just pretty good and then I have over 200 million on Revenge from ours nice so I might play uh bad girls in twister I'm probably gonna round out my uh card uh yeah I'm not a big fan of bad girls personally baby games it's the ultimate baby game it's a baby game for everyone yeah I suppose so yeah yeah I'm not a big fan of God leaves personally I'm more of a you know Arena I like Arena Arena just never drained for me and when I had to play it at World Championships in uh Adam Becker's Barn oh that was at the barn it was it was in the very back next to class of 1812 and walking dead right so what's up we do unfortunately have to wait for the whole Bank to uh figure out and then I'm sure Jeff's gonna find an awesome game to find uh play to watch Charles running yep so what's what's the big picture here Ron Howard's running away with this thing yeah let's hear it let me check he he finally didn't get a first last third last round Albany assassin
    33:22
    he's still playing it looks like he's still at 52. oh never mind he won surf camp he's at 59. so he's at 59. we have 70. we need something as soon as someone gets to seven what do you get for when four seven seven Ah that's all he's got to do is win two more of these things and it's all over yeah if he wins the next one then you can get second like he can ease off a bit all right the rig is rolling uh I see it it's got an umbrella attached which is nice anti-glare no surf champ is what uh uh that's a big game surprise surprise big game oh wait no we're on the next round so uh we'll take this this moment to welcome you to indisk this is the first of many events that are going to be streamed uh every day so stay tuned uh and it's not too late to come here if you're uh not too far away from an airport you can get here tonight and you can play in this thing tomorrow um looks like it's gonna be an awesome tournament the venue's great things are playing bigger Airy plenty of space uh we are unmasked this year in accordance with the local regulations yeah um for the first time since 2020. uh 2019 actually uh it's it's looking and feeling a little bit more like uh in disk yeah no it's the games play great uh they sure do yeah you know you can tell that Jim belsito put so much time into all these games yeah you know and then on that high speed when you lock your balls they just go up the ramp I know and then never all right they don't come back and drain and your multiball's over full plunge you know does it and the kickback puts it in the upper flipper every time so well we've got a treat for you it's cheetah big game big game oh we get to see uh big I mean cheetah I would call it a big game all right you don't need to know too much about this one you want to spell big up top you want to shoot the spinner on the left you wanna there's two spinners on their left and those are both worth hitting especially if they're lit uh but you're gonna see most players just try to shoot that left uh spinner and uh what do you do with the left flipper generally on this one uh left flipper try and get a bottom left flipper you can actually post pass believe it or not sure you can bump it off that other flipper yeah um but uh the right is where you want it to be so you can shoot that you spinner you shoot the left spinner right here the big game shot uh you shoot that it goes back to the top lanes and you get more letters and um yeah there is Ron Howard with his 59 points oh yeah [ __ ] of the Walk yes and uh Neil Leslie and Danielle so uh the uh one other thing you want to do in this game is you want to get you want to spell big game completely right um I'm forgetting right now it lights your five thousands everywhere I'm pretty sure yep so you spell big through these big and then game you get by the two inlands and the two uh there yeah so the one Crux of this game that makes me not like this game personally is that those in Lanes you do not get to control you cannot you can alley pass they're incredibly difficult and they rattle most of the time and you can't get it and it's just not realistic to Alley pass so either you get them or you don't and if your opponent gets them and they hit half the shots as you they'll still win but if you don't so that's why I don't like this game but at the end of the day whoever hits the spinner the most will probably win right right yep so don't don't sweat the m and the E too much so my biggest issue with this game is that whenever I'm looking for to light the spinner these lights are always out on the ones I play yeah now I believe it's based off a switch yeah yeah um here comes the old Graf we just saw Tom graph we get C Nails now yeah all right the young graph it's funny I think they're yeah they're tied right now at the same points like father like son
    37:20
    and they're both wearing blue and gray yeah I've noticed that they wear the same kind of clothes oh nice save families are weird all right there's one way to get over here that's your shot that's the shot you're looking for and uh he just bounced it over there nice and you want to hit the unlit Lanes on this seeing as how it's not a godliness so the EV estimated value of an inline there is insane like if you get that inline you're still playing and now you've gotten one of those two in parts and it carries over for the game that is like the value you get from that Inland is like the game all right here comes the wet California's own Leslie Ruckman and she's having a very good match Target match play so far he is 47 points so far and Striking Distance and all these players want to uh nice lap save all right so the one thing is we're gonna cradle on this game you gotta be careful when you drop it down yeah the upper flipper actually hits the ball and pushes it so the timing is a little off so a lot of people I guess I I've seen it where people just drop it and it just it just flings the ball out so yeah here watch you have to watch it yep you see how it pushes it just a little bit and she went she went late she was ready though yeah oh nice nice very nice save
    38:39
    all right nice you got a set of drops down the cards are decent in this game but they're not really what you're going for you really want to hit that collect scoop on the left but she's got her a and the g on the left so the scoop is worth even more now nice bomb it's a lot of stuff like that where if you're not paying attention you didn't see it but she actually bumped the game up when it went to that sling completely getting the danger like away that's right kept it away from that nasty Outlet nearly late on the spinner once again a nice sweep on the drops he's got so many sets of drops done her bonus will be solid
    39:15
    let's see what she uh does from the left here see if she goes through the post bass also just sending it back up especially on ball one you get all that bonus you got 2x yeah oh that was very nice oh it went up and I think I've ever seen that before oh all right all right here we go Leslie off to a very nice start here on big game a little early but she did do the correct thing which is not not flip that upper flipper when you're shooting at that spinner nice job catch oh my goodness I'm taking place fast that was a good ball though let's hear a bonus so she was at 78 okay 40 something thousand times or 20 000 times two solid which may be the difference in this game all right here comes danieli he's vaulted himself into the top Group by virtue of his strong performance of Arena is that pin tips danielli
    40:12
    yep I think I would run over and go tell him how to play it but his English has gone a lot better since I first met him I think I met him maybe Papa 17 Papa 16. he makes a concerted effort when he's hanging out with us uh I know Yanks to uh and to pick it up I mean I appreciate it so much seeing foreigners learn English and especially because I mean he kind of did it just to come to these tournaments and I mean he has Johnny Monica of course to translate for him but um and she just acts he just actually asked Leslie something as far as translation from the pen tips it looks like there you go cool all right problem solved let's get your fingers in there I know it would reek of getting Cube Cube tilt the boss that is true you could just throw the game if you don't know uh on Stern uh solid States if you tilt without hitting a switch it gives you the ball back so you can't tilt through and nobody wants to make it a habit of it though I I guess I get that plus plus you never know like a switch could go off or something just a loose switch and you get 10 points and you've drained your ball all right let's see what he does from upper left upper left is the worst flipper you can be honestly can't post past that over there no from that top flipper no you can't what do you think would happen I sometimes try an alley pass oh boy that spinner already put them ahead of uh Neil yeah no not quite thinner was decent but unfortunately went up and then went straight down the one thing I like to do but I don't think a lot of people do is just dumping the ball from up here up there because if you can get the alley pass it's great if you don't yeah at least you're on that side of the Playfield now right the Mana the man of the hour right now here is our leader Ron Howland he's really having a great match play so far oh you know and he owns I'm sure he owns this he worships the old Stern I know he usually puts a stupid custom ROM in them so he might be expecting something in this game that his doesn't you seem like you have a lot of experience that as well he loves Stearns and he loves custom roms you know he did not love that ball but unfortunately he's got two more Neil's probably surprised walking into this ball in second place at 38 000 but I've seen a lot of low scoring games of uh of uh big games not just a snowball all right let's see what Neil does from the upper left oh okay this is the other thing you can do the little drop down yeah you do the post pass you know who's the greatest postmaster is on big game is uh uh Helen Urban that was a very nice post pass there he pulled it off nice not quite when the sphere's not lit there's not much oh that was Brave it was lit though you got 40 000 for that one oh it was yeah all right all right he's gonna do that post pass again he's just tapping it over from there like a little tap pass I don't know I I I'm worried about a um that's what you need so then you're gonna have to flip from the ride in a uncomfortable manner nice oh there it is you got the m so Annie has the E already oh he does yeah so that's funny he just needs the two on the left nice lap nice here what you get from flailing and then the eye will get eventually by hitting the spinner they don't have this game at d82 so they do not uh there's a lot of these around though I'm sure Neil Neil does play the bulk of his game okay so that makes me think he isn't comfortable in this game because he just shot the spinner from the upper flipper yeah which is a nearly impossible shot but he's getting good points considering he hasn't made a single scoop shot and he's very solid on this uh post pass let's see if you learned his lesson he did not oh he's still trying he did good game oh he already got the G he only needs to hit it when he just hit the g that last shot I don't know if I can especially it was a nice tip he just did okay learn your lesson Neil stop there you go oh you oh you got it all right so what does that mean exactly he just needs the eye on big oh another left right there all right here we go this is a huge shot this is the biggest shot of the game so look at how many points he gets from that scoop look at that it was like 20 30 000. come on go in the end he wants it in the eye oh not quite doesn't matter though because nice drop catch getting some parts come on and Neil is now in the lead I like that I like that that's creative it worked it works oh that was that was a late that's to keep the ball in play thankful for those keep track at home that is his fourth left in Lane this game all right let's see if he just okay that works I guess that did work and unfortunately when these slings are super high oh yeah whenever it goes down here it's usually gone all right Leslie um having to follow that but had a good ball one and she's still sitting in second and uh no one can get that eye well you know it's it's not inclined so oh nice nice nudge I thought maybe you should let that nice
    45:32
    it's so important because the ball is coming down here you have to bump it this way because if not it's out that was a it was a great save from her and necessary but she has so much bonus and the X holds and the card so she tilted in her 45 000 there right which which would have put her on close to the lead close to lead and well in the lead if Neil gets oh he gets his eye very nice sir all right here we go
    46:01
    good reaction oh we got his M very nice it's only fair oh and I know that was not lit but yeah not lit but a big rip oh good reaction I thought it was gonna die oh nice and Daniella is playing very well right now all right let's see what he does from upper left not too steep this game it's kind of floating around giving people a chance to think about what they want to do some time and he's gonna just drop it down to the bottom flipper there standard post pass that was a very nice oh he wanted that spinner Spinner's so juicy put some that spinner might just oh he got both of his inlays he's ready to go if he gets that b oh it also just makes that scoop on the left rise positions there oh slings nice drops it down and just perfect keeps it up all right control so this will put him above Leslie I think just from the value of the letters each letter is one thousand each oh it almost gave him the B oh he might get it right now there it is it's nice okay so now he oh he got his he got it okay so this makes his scoop at the top 35 000 and the lanes at the top 5 000 each plus an extra spinner is lit and that spinner is just going to stay away it stays lit awesome uh yeah nice five thousand right there oh no it's five thousand once he spells big I'm pretty sure yeah well he's got bigger fish to fry mainly either of those juicy Spinners on the left the left spinner is so valuable right now it's because it's 35 000 for the scoop and it's lit more often now because if you have it trapped on the upper left flipper what do you think of trying to backhand that middle spinner there ah I can't condone it no just set it back down and try and get it back to the right yeah you really want it on bottom right to hit that super juicy you're you're a shot here we stay in that scoop Oh I thought yeah it looked like a good shot well now it's not lit it's still worth shooting it's still 50 000.50 000 yeah
    48:06
    boom all right so let's see he's over 200k with that and that's gonna give him the lead currently we lost danieli again unfortunately we can see his Playfield yeah yeah that's 5 000 right there it was need some in Lanes extra score nice drop catch
    48:29
    and uh yeah Danielle is feeling it now you can tell oh yeah this really wants to hit that spinner when it's lit on the left so yeah as uh Levy pointed out this is currently lit so every single line is going to be 5 000 in bonus at the end big big coins right there he's up over 300. yeah you can see this you just run away with points in this game once you get those in Lanes like right if he didn't get those two in Lanes this ball none of this would really be happening right right wow he's already up to 330 000. he can't hit that spinner when it's lit
    49:14
    and uh I was looking at the camera right now you know if you're wrong you're thinking I gotta like come out of this with second place yeah we got down yellow again Ron is probably just thinking let's have a better ball than last ball yeah let's do better let's get into four five digits yeah and then go from there just completed another line all right let's see if he post passes he's got great value on that spinner maxed out I don't know what happens when you spell big game twice I don't know if I've ever done it before maybe like extra special up over 550. there are 50 000 there 100.6 wow like you said once you get this stuff lit up this thing really starts to pay off oh yeah almost to 600 now all right here we go bam oh that would be dialed in all right let's see what he maybe backhands the spinner now I feel like that it really does that is the uh well that was 20 000 points yeah 100 000 is so much in this game and even when it's not lit if you get in that scoop it's just huge huge yeah nice to have that was a very beautiful surprise patience he's playing so good right now oh a little too patient they were bound to happen eventually but 700 000 nothing to sneeze at and in the situation that he's in yep man both games we've seen just danielli run away with it on ball too that's right as he's as he's clawed himself back into this number one group and uh
    50:50
    I think it goes one three five eight maybe okay so these aren't necessarily uh oh I think this is the top group but it's just it's a little different yeah all right welcome to the five digit Club Ron let's go for six
    51:05
    I was trying to settle down here get in the groove get some drops all right and so unlike everybody else he just shot it up there and he likes that's wrong I I think I want to try to if I can condone the you know we're watching Neil play with his food and get it to the bottom right right and it was working out it seemed like Anna was working out for Danielle and it worked out for Danielle as well and well Ron's gonna get one more chance he does he uh remembers how that one ended up you know and this is one of those games where you can just keep playing forever you can snowball your momentum and uh
    51:39
    wow look at that and he's up over 300 yeah man that's another 30 000 in big game letters yep he really wants that eye keep in mind this event is not even close to over definitely a foreign so Bowen I believe was at 54 which is uh not quite two away another riff nice he's up to 400 and Danielle he looks achievable he just really needs his eye but he's not bumping or flipping yeah I mean you could if if you just every time it seems like it's if you just let it jump out of there nothing's gonna happen so the two things you can do to influence a scoop kick out in pinball is you can either nudge it on the lanes or when the ball is sitting in the scoop you can flip your flippers to change the power of the scoop which is kind of sort of coined the Josh Sharp and uh Neil really should be just trying that like any try anything else because there's no other way you can get it to the eye skillfully so he is a quick learner don't forget uh you know just a few minutes ago he was still trying to shoot that spinner with the upper right flipper so he's definitely uh nice nice oh man he wants that eye though I know it nearly rewarded him with the eye for all his troubles I think if he just didn't flip there I think yeah it bounces to the left and back to the right but it's always scary when it's right at the tip though because it could just go like that and I think a lot of people have this imprinted memory of like double flipper games like Sinbad where if it hits the crook it just it's going right down the middle but you know what going into that ball Neil had not that much ahead and now he's now he's got almost 500 yeah very nice game for Neo 470. um yeah I've seen I've seen plenty of games a big game where that would win oh yeah oh nice nice Leslie has a lot of bonus right now it didn't register no no it's lit it's just going away
    53:35
    how much is that 5 000 each per line wow and I think it's multiplied as well yeah it is so that's a little early there you might be actually pretty close to Neil yeah and she's look so keep in mind her ex is one away from another full card she tilted last ball too all right well you're right but you didn't have the more score lit I don't think well hopefully she remembers that really oh nice backhand nice backhand well if that spinner was lit it would have been huge it would have been boomy but uh as it is she's at 200 and uh which one is the one do you know off the top of your head the one the one the one I want to say is that yes it is oh yeah this one right here
    54:24
    oh she nearly did that backhand again that's 30 000 points right there right so how much is a full card do you think it's nine times five times two nine times five is 35 so 70. was it the two the 2x yeah the 2x now 3x all of a sudden she's got huge bonus really close he might be one spinner shot away from Catching Neil Hoover to hit that scoop it's not lit now special's got to be 100K so that left yeah 13 lines oh that's enough from the special Outlet let's look at the bonus that gets her there right and we're gonna find out she's coming to in second place oh man if she could have poured a little more on there it would have been so hard up in danielli land I don't know if the 5 000 multiplied but she had a lot of lines I'll say it was very nice listed by a few thousand because of last fall still yep all right well Danielle oh nice shot in value town he was up over 800 yeah and I would not count Ron out he's been hot today he's been hot all day just pour these points on oh okay what happens now oh is so the scoop is worth 70k and now he has a special hit on the uh left orbit oh nice backhand beautiful he just learned that from Leslie yep that's funny I keep missing it is that the upper Flipper the lower flipper lower or upper left flipper I'm pretty sure the reflex flip yeah the reflex flip just come in here and goes boom right yeah
    56:08
    oh nice all right let's see if he that the flashingness of the special you know makes him think maybe no way there's no way no yeah not when you're getting 150 000 points every time you go up there that's over a million yep I want to say you had the number one scoring big game one year in Classics here yeah I don't remember what it was but I remember because I was chasing it and I I certainly didn't know the rules like you do but again it doesn't take whatever you know if I just keep shooting that left you just keep shooting that left scoop good things happen yep and that's why Danielle is not distracted by that special well 100 000 is a hundred thousand it is yes and I I feel like I would shoot oh so he's so good at that nudge
    56:58
    Carl is working once again to keep the player cam working Charles it's in a weird spot he mentioned in chat he has different um transmitters for tomorrow so tomorrow will hopefully be and that's the end of the game but a very nice that's gonna bring him up to what 1.3.2 ish
    57:26
    green line has magically appeared all right this has turned out to be uh a really exciting game of a big game and up steps Ron Hallett to try to get some points so uh you know he's aiming for Neil right now he just wants to get on the board yeah he will get zero points if he one point one point for okay which is uh really important that he got second at least in this game because uh it puts him in Striking Distance next game so if he doesn't if he gets third or last in this game he can't end the tournament next round
    58:06
    all right that one is a write-off last of the tournament uh okay now I believe we're going to bring in another crew for the final two rounds is that what I'm hearing um I do not know I don't really shift some things um when when I last checked it was just me so yeah if uh Jeff has a decision well no all right I'll tell you what I'm going to hit the restroom really quick and if one of my replacement shows up just tell them to sit here okay that's good should I get up as well Carl okay and we'll be back shortly all right we are back guys we're going to car hop we have lost Escher and Levy for the moment I think we all thought it was eight but it's only seven it's an early night yeah lovey comes back cool so and if Esther want or you want to join who's who are you my name inside Petey I'm Jeff teolis I uh Levy will be back he's just gonna play a game of bad girls and I know we were trying to get Sanjay in here he's score keeping so he'll be here yeah and DJ as well for Pittsburgh so just haven't seen him yet he I think we are a little ahead of schedule so that's probably we are ahead of schedule I thought it was a my leg was cramping so I was dealing with that so I didn't see the last round I saw daniele show me how to play Arena that was pretty exciting uh Danielle he just showed us how to play big game did he yeah and how did Ron do on that so yeah last I think okay yeah so at least two more rounds that's pretty exciting yep oh hi hey Carl thanks very much for everything you do with ie pinball thank you Jeff for everything you're helping out with like subscribe follow bits he uh has no shame he'll take it all yep
    59:58
    we appreciate all you guys for tuning in yeah we're gonna have four days of pinball it's pretty exciting six different playoff rounds tomorrow we're going to be watching the classics one that was won by Robert Byers uh I believe yeah Bob Matthews is also winner so we'll try to get those two in the Stream and uh the big days are really Saturday Sunday so Saturday morning we start with the women's correct correct 9 A.M yeah that's gonna be yeah full day Saturday and then we immediately go to the playoffs of Classics too Sunday uh again this is all available on IE pinball uh check it on Facebook and you see the stream schedule and everything but Sunday's the big day that's the open that's they're playing for this big beautiful trophy right here maybe a brand new Stern uh premium Ninja Turtles game and uh the pride to get your name up on the band and you can kind of see them in the background we'll show them uh it's very exciting and then we end it all with someone who better be buying dinner uh when they win the high stakes because they are definitely High yep I was we're going okay we got car hop and uh who invited this Italian over here we're glad he's here but my goodness and and he's fueled up I had barbecue with him about an hour ago what did he eat so I can make a note barbecued chicken barbecue ribs he specifically wanted the mac and cheese as a side so good group here danielli we've got will we've got Bo and Karen's nice to see Bowen back here I know there was a conflict uh timing schedule last year and Ron Howlett who is uh not really surprising me with his incredible play he is uh he's really stepped it up made it in the top 250 in the last uh year or so so uh Ron is an excellent player good group of four
    61:53
    so we have started a feature let's see what he's going to choose we got Bullseye around we got wave we got count up bonus he's gonna go count Upon Us Raymond what's your favorite favorite selecting there what do you like um I like Bullseye round it's a million I think each time you hit the uh the center Target there I played it once at paddle okay
    62:17
    again with with Jim and Jay and Carl and Bob and the whole staff here at indisk done the selection of games the quality of what you're seeing and the variety not just in the main but as we're seeing here in this Classics Target match play
    62:35
    so Danielle is still got his first ball getting some drops my stead pass against the left gets a loop you better have that flipper off that left flipper when you're making that Center shot because it's going to come pretty quickly Ward's uh extra ball looks like it might have been worth some points he's up to 1.7 million like is this a scary scene Danielle he's now got glasses he wasn't good enough now that he now that he actually see the ball it's gonna be some scary stuff this week we're all in trouble Carl that's all I know Dalton did confirm the EB was worth one million Dalton's in chat don't know why he's not here getting ready for the state championship in Georgia Dalton's won before he's definitely one of the favorites over there so he's dialed into that center Shot just Lupine it's not worth all that much looks like 2000 a shot if you make the shot it's certainly a safe catch and and both look at both these shots
    63:40
    past post Passover to me Danielle and I I can't get inside his mind but I think he's finding the shots right now and uh okay that's there uh he just Shrugged his shoulders I'm thinking he might be trying to figure out what to actually do um because yeah he's shooting shots in he's getting two thousand a shot so you gotta do something else and he has gained some drops sure he got a bullseye and the way these drops are set up it's it's kind of nice too because you hit one side you could chance you're gonna bounce over to the other set of five drops Spinners worth a decent amount it looks like so he's got time left with the drops going on so it looks like he wants to complete the drops and he'll get some nice value
    64:25
    nice dead Passover from the scoop gets the right set two seconds left one second left he is out of time but now
    64:42
    how are we gonna get that jackpot it's up at 9 million what do we do Carl knows does Carl now I don't get to play the games here I just come and visit you know yeah how dare you um now I do know that the popsicle is in the middle is like what mode you get I just don't remember how to actually get to that
    65:07
    all right I'll check my notes yeah time to home I was told there was no homework supposed to be on vacation you know I'm I'm sorry I don't know everything that's okay let's see I usually can figure it out too but this game is very tough he's back in a like time mode he's trying to get these drops he has that bottom left one to go is that two seconds one second and ding ding ding does not get there I always find I don't know about you Raymond when when you're reading up on a game whether it's pintips.net or if you look online you read some quick little maybe three things to do yep when it takes you longer to read it than your actual ball play there's nothing frustrating then oh bad it is I gotta read faster so he did complete so he's got his scoop slit now he does have his Scoops lit to uh choose a future I believe and he noticed it he's in Heat Wave play for three million points fastest Heat Wave apparently has not happened he looks like he has to shoot these Suns it's up to 2.6 million
    66:18
    I I know Heatwave is kind of the big thing here it's that three million W score that's what he was in and unfortunately he didn't get there he's getting a hundred thousand for popsicles though he's got great um progress in the game and he's at 3 million now jackpot Jared did point something out in the chat which is the drop Target and the upper right is not coming up for some reason okay so it's possible that the minor malfunction on this game this yes that drop yep because normally you hit that and that like the spinner so you do a one-time shot into the spinner after the shot target oh boy now it is uh Quite a feat to get this many games for 120 person match play on classic so having the games up flipping and playing as well as we can nothing's perfect
    67:06
    and here comes uh Will McKinney we haven't seen him tonight yet player two from Arizona Phoenix
    67:24
    nice spinner ten thousand to spin ten thousand the spin is not bad value he's got his features lit with these arrows hit the saucers pretty easy to stick those saucers too with these flippers you've got a little bit of wiggle room if you if you're not 100 accurate
    67:41
    this is one of the games I believe we're going to see in the classics tomorrow whether it's picked or not I believe what Jim told me was this is a this is again am I not supposed to say that we don't know where the classics are yet oh yeah of course kids
    68:02
    so he is in heat Rave play for three million so he has to get eight I think um shots eight something like that you know that doesn't do it I'm lost those Suns look pretty bright and something's something's going on there yeah well he shot the orbit it didn't seem to do anything he's shooting this orbit that one did something it's up to 1.4 million Bullseye why people love in disc so much is is again I talk about the variety of the games but it is what made things like Papa and pinberg special you get to see games you don't normally see and uh it's certainly easy to see a lot of the new games that have come out in the last five ten years but the collection and the uh the quality the the fine tuning of these older games it's exciting um and you have to learn on the fly yeah yeah there there's no way to learn 150 different involved machines if not 200 plus like it's hard enough to keep up with the new games I see uh it's halfway to Daniel he scored for will so far I see some of my favorite players Carrie wing for example she won the Women's Championship last year Kerry uh has this little notebook and takes notes on games and and it pays off she does her homework Carl is aware that we uh lost the scoring we don't know what mode we're in it looks like heat wave again and unfortunately loses it down the right out lane he is going to get a little bonus B probably under 2 million there we're gonna uh see if we can pause them
    69:50
    Bowen's about to step up so I don't know if they'll wait I don't know if Carl can get there in time he's Carl is trying to jog over there but oh and wait wait Bowen if you're listening Bowen's got his glasses off he's looking at stuff he's trying to figure things out come on boys wants to do a tutorial for us right it'll be nice all right I'll take it and here is the band of this stream Carl D'Angelo throw up your emotes for him he has done so much for this tournament for this stream bringing pinball to you guys all right so it looks like uh well McKinney got about half of what danielli got last round now I played a match of this in pinball at the lake or at the lab with uh I believe it was Bob Matthews Escher and I forget the third player might have been Johnny might have been someone else low score was 15 million oh boy I sure thought he was safe and we all came back and just blew it up if I recall correctly is that in September because that's part of the pro uh it might have been the year prior to this year okay that was the last time I played this and that's why I'm pretty Rusty on it but
    71:09
    I don't believe I won either I believe we all just like blew it up basically all right Bowen short Plunge getting some uh drops I'll tell you if anybody knows the game it's this gentleman right here oh no he's gonna go for the scoop I believe unless he's switching modes or something
    71:32
    and unfortunately we do not have the score we are aware we're working on it yep Hey listen we're gonna probably see Mystery Castle this week so get used to not seeing the score it's great to have that wonderful game back there I've got us
    71:59
    throw up the skeletons everyone because that's what we're watching Bowen trying to blow up this game he's currently in the mode where you have to hit the Suns apparently but we don't know how many times or why timing out yeah yeah he's but poet's like done and I think he's timing it up
    72:25
    no you can hear it three two one he's he is not happy with this boat and he is uh now out of it okay
    72:41
    Buffalo pinball thank you for the subscription let's go more pinball Bowman left flipper and thank you Buffalo for all your streaming as well
    72:54
    I saw Jack tadman with a buffalo pinball Jersey uh hoodie nice yeah that's a one thing here as we watch uh go and try to hit us offer he gets it uh you see a variety of different pinball leagues and and streamers and podcasters it's very nice so what do we got here so this is the pick the mode and this is the bullseye every shot is one million boom he's at one million Bullseye that one missed unfortunately that didn't hear the ring did hear the ring that's two oh nice friendly in Lane there that's three so he has now passed danielli and this was really the mode you wanted you get 15 seconds yeah to hit the bullseye for a million a pop so as far as we know the scoring is three million plus for Bowen well McKinney had 1.6 danielli had 1.3.2 and just to let you know Carl is standing behind Boeing right now ready to to fix the camera whether it's a battery issue but we uh thank you for your patience all right um you know that's that left sling is deadly tournaments are tournament games are set up difficult and you wonder the best way to set up difficulties you see people maybe put on Lightning flippers or pull all the rubbers or pull posts you want to make a tournament tough keep the tilts obviously tight but not unreasonable yeah the slings are the best advice you make tight slings you gotta you got a good tournament one of the biggest mistakes I I I tell every player once they start getting into the game whenever the ball hits this thing nudge it because these slings are designed to get the ball to the out lanes so you could pay more money for the game that's what they're designed for you want to make sure you move the machine and try to find a way to get the ball not in the outlands
    74:57
    pretty pretty tense right now because we don't know how many rounds this is going to go I mean it will go uh eventually it will finally end but it could be two rounds because Ron's at 60 right now heck uh Bowen could win back to back and get to 70 right so and then will yeah well two so 70 is that magic number yeah I think we went 13 Rounds last year but I'm not 100 sure 13 is usually the uh oh here we go we got the score got the score so Bowen pulls up 3.5 is currently in first still ball one we got run Howlett you know he what do you think maybe he got some food in him out on the lunch break whatever you're doing keep doing it the guy started off by going seven first place that's got to be a record I was curious if I would even be able to commentate at that point like well we were going to be done almost yeah all right we are in a mode you could potentially if you win every game be done in 10 rounds but it just doesn't happen Ron almost almost did it now Ron saw Bowen time this out and yeah he's shaking his head he's not shot figuring out what to do in this mode time left he's taking shots and like that was worth 24 000 points basically minus whatever he's gotten in slings of time left yep just slow the time out he's obviously not a mode and that's one of the struggles of playing a game that you don't know the rules you've never played because there is the mode which is worth one million in bullseye and then there's that mode which he's at 24 000 points
    76:52
    hits on big points but only if you finish according to pin tips thank you hire peanut for your info we got a mystery award oh thousand that's an insult one slap in the face oh but we're grinding points we're at 237 000. the left mystery has got to be better that spinner though ten thousand a spin he's up to 538 000 points oh okay left spinner mystery it's got to be more than a thousand Ron you're owing denied so yeah these lights indicate what is nice oh what a quick nice he's trying to Alley pass it or pass it over to the other flipper shots if you will yep however you could get it over there oh
    77:41
    pinball Gods give him a thousand give him that saucer on the left is he gonna he does dead pass it over here we go more than a thousand catching up to player two what he's a catch-up mode boo he got a mystery War to catch him up to whatever will McKinney had so what the reason I assume it shows player two is it didn't choose player one who's or player three who was leading it it caught him up to the next lowest person yes well I just said though the karma right he got a thousand on the one saucer he's do something that might have been a little excessive what 1.3 million uh saucer is not what an advantage going forth in this game
    78:30
    danielli oh we've lost the score Carl has lost his hair and uh and we are currently in a mode looks like it's the sun mode again which apparently we need to complete in order to get some big points I also see these are strobing over here so I don't know if that is also part of the mode and uh Danielle is as baffled as most of us because he shoots the sun shot it doesn't go away
    79:03
    shoots the bullseye doesn't go away shoots it and there was a ding ding there and then there was three dings so it sounds like he's getting close to finishing it
    79:20
    that or somebody's playing fire near us and it's over he tried to trust there is a Center Post unfortunately it went wide
    79:31
    all right chat what do you think the score is going to end up for daniele your guess is as good as ours we heard some direct we heard some dings there were the dings points where the dings nothing we don't know
    79:50
    there are standings I will get you the standings in a moment Chad give me one second I see Ray day in the chat Ray day where are you
    80:09
    I got you Chad give me one second working on the phone is funny all right guys I'm posting the link right now neverdrains.com 2023 never mind you guys already have it in chat thank you Chad for helping out everyone we've got the standings for the match play which is currently going until someone gets 70 points we got standings for the open right now and we got standings for high stakes and the women's event yeah four four things going on right now a lot of pinball being had so many people trying to figure out how to score points on games how was your well we are now up with Will we've got a score we've got scores all of those things were nothing 3.4 3.4 that's basically what he had going in would you like a liquid death Jeff is this a water product yes sure thank you liquid death
    81:11
    cheers all right uh well got Heat Wave play for three thousand this is the sun mode will he try to complete it or will he oh nice save well very nice save I did not see anything to uh indicate he danger of the game and looks like he is yeah he's just shaking his head going no clue not going to it but but watching Bowen in other places I'm timing this out yeah I typically will do that too unless I am familiar with the game played uh since we have five seconds left cool four three yeah the way it counts down for you uh I like those 15 Center ones it reminds me of space shuttle too where it says you know things like tilt and yeah kind of a cool thing um so lining up the burgers apparently does something according to uh the rule set here
    82:12
    oh nice nice Center Post and we got a mystery award thousand line them up points so he needs to line up oh what's a million that's a million this is a good one this is bullseye oh well another million
    82:33
    he's caught up he has now taken the lead he's got still a little time left on it oh it's done
    82:48
    wow that was a Lazarus from the grave the use of the Center Post coming back I think he went around it's amazing and look at his you know yeah I meant to do that
    83:01
    that's how they roll in Arizona I guess Raymond yeah Will's been playing for a very long time I know I've seen his name several times and I played in several events with him if I recall it's currently got a mystery on the left it was a good one for Ron
    83:24
    transferring it over to his right flipper left saucer here we go oh denied kicked straight over it and also two more drops you know where they angled you could almost hit the one and it should go to the other side well there you go well he started something right now all right so that's the nice thing go for the drops why not why not well it depends on what what they're actually worth yeah we have no clue to he got him that would be pretty good A Million yep that's really dangerous to four million but no way when you don't know how to do anything on a game I like the guts of will he knows he can't drain anyway do you see that Center Post last he's fine hit everything don't time out just just whale away what's this gonna be select the feature what do you want use it Bullseye around yes that's it the milliona shot right that is the billiona shot up the bullseye 15 seconds if I recall so players watch the saucers and oh there's one warning to see the kick out and and on both sides you're seeing them choose not to flip and let it dead bounce over Ah that's unfortunate good ball though very good ball he's up to six million 6.3 now
    84:47
    and by the way no camera issues on the scoring on that ball well done Carl I don't know what he did he's changed I have no idea what's going on there so I've got a new camera ready to go
    85:01
    nice spinner there that was a hundred thousand a spin yeah thumbs up from Bowling so he is now up too well it looks like close 6.7 he has surpassed well a month wave here we go double your score play for a double your score yeah uh but you're in heat wave yes well it's like oh shoot I'm not doing this nope
    85:30
    he's like yeah I'll double my score and then it's like yeah you get to play this mode which apparently we can't figure out how to work just too many shots too many too much danger like I said I I for some reason the number eight comes in my head and I don't remember why
    85:49
    all right I do like the use of these burgers at the center of the play field with the timer one zero yes all right bones back ready to play
    86:10
    we got two Mysteries left I just love yeah yeah how do you switch those I love these Godly picture uh flippers being able to catch yeah and I you don't have to be perfect you get a little bit of wiggle room so you can switch these around and I want to say that you switch it through this orbit but I don't remember Carl's shaking his head like he agrees so I think I might be right on that well we saw Danielle well he did hit a switch he now's changed it in it this is select a feature he wants the bullseye around and he picks it again nice dead bats dead bounce oh I don't think you got it oh no no ding no million but he is thankfully still in the lead with one player to go on ball two
    87:05
    that spinner Ron has had several balls to look at now and hopefully he has some more understanding of how to play this game
    87:14
    another good spinner hundred thousand a rip great shot Ron yep up to uh player one who is currently in third and he didn't even have to do a mystery to catch up okay here we go he weighs we got Heat Wave no three million play for three million Yep this is the uh we really don't understand this mode or it's just way too dangerous we we understand that we don't want to play it they're so far away from us and we said he doesn't want to play it and all Ron does is not no yeah
    87:49
    again thanks to the many sponsors here at indisk and so many you've seen some of them on the screen uh scoreboard I see uh ifba presenting the uh the big prize we've got uh Ace Golgi with some of the wonderful bounties that's where Ace Golgi and until pinball so again thank you to all our sponsors Gen X Wong is taking some wonderful uh pictures for orange photography
    88:18
    oh no that was it I I could see you hide the backhand to get up here and he hit the drop but he was he was thinking okay am I gonna let it hit the center pose do I trust it not quite gonna be an exciting ball three and look at how close these scores are this is the top group so this will determine uh if we could possibly have a winner next round yep yep is Danielle wins he will be at 61. yeah but but if Ron comes in Ron would have to come in last Ron would have to come in last if Danielle he ends up having the score to win that puts an impossibility I believe Levy is having the longest game ever of bad girls he said yeah just I'll be right there hmm and he is still a bad girls so maybe he is
    89:11
    ooh nice save there nice drop catch gets it into the scoop for heat wave does danieli try to play this and here comes the cradle and the answer is no
    89:55
    I found one of our commentators from Pittsburgh everybody say hi to DJ once he gets his headset on and uh we're timed out so uh hola Beautiful People hi DJ DJ how many times have you played this game um lots and lots of times at Chicago Expo yeah that's right a few years ago when you won that that's right in fact you you won it and when this was in the bank that was this was one of the picks for sure so help us out here uh we know Bullseye is spectacular yep yep there are modes you should time out Heatwave you know the thing about this game is is two things the bullseye for the million points and getting that that uh spinner um well we we saw Bowen do it and Ron do it off the plunge um unfortunately this drop up top is not working so you can't actually relight the spinner oh really yeah so you're only getting it off the plunge oh well that kind of well we're back into Bullseye round so is that my design like they did that or we're not sure okay possible a million well then you're just gonna pick some some million targets yep oh that was close two more seconds you should be able to get another one here oh it just nicked it didn't get it that's it so to light your saucers is it dropping the Popsicles
    91:28
    oh my gosh you won Expo on this game you know it's one of those games where you learn on the Fly you put it in your brain for that weekend and then you just yeah it evaporates right because I haven't played it since yep um we know we've got the symmetrical um uh drops you do one side you need to spell car hop I think it has to do with the drops but it will come back all right we gotta watch this game for a second here needs one more drop Spinners get the 10 000 a spin that's at least a hundred thousand drops doesn't like the sauce starts a the popsicle mode so 500 000 Ward if he gets what all these popsicles but he just needs the one shot there there we go all right five hundred thousand
    92:16
    up to 6.8 all I'm going to say is that you're not going to win this game with 500 000 point shots that is
    92:28
    but look at look at that kick out it's so friendly you can see I did all of my uh my main ticket research last night but I did not do my classic research last night it's we're just trying to figure out how to light the sauces um we've seen him drop the drops didn't do it I don't know if Chad knows um that's not gonna do it I thought it was that that right Loop would also do that but okay but he hasn't shot it yet the right orbit yeah I know for sure it says change ice pop there
    93:16
    that's not gonna do anything oh yeah Heat Wave is also Heat Wave is the drops
    93:23
    yeah I believe if you complete the pop you complete all the Popsicles you get whatever modes currently on the uh popsicle so he's now trying to figure out what what the heck am I going to shoot here Bowen and which one issue and Ron have well got Heat Wave and just let it time out okay maybe because it took too many shots too much Danger All the Above all right so he finally hit enough to get something going I didn't like the sauce that did not and it so I thought that yes you need this drop Target because you need to go up through here
    94:06
    upper right I wanted to say that this this drop Target would would stop the ball and drop it through that light unfortunately I can't clearly tell what it says
    94:22
    nice decision there not to flip oh and he gets robbed he gets looped rimmed out of the saucer there will end with the lead will it be enough though you can't replace the spinner yeah well it's the saucers right so so essentially you have both your uh Scoops lit at the start you want to change them to choose a feature I believe lining up the burgers like the saucer well they're not lined up right now no but it says line up three burgers yeah I mean he's got his sausage here anyway so he's got can he rip the spinner nope didn't get it oh one shot for this fish oh poor will and a right out lane ouch
    95:05
    best he can do is third here oh currently we're at that point where we said hey if Danielle wins and Ron gets a one we have two more rounds possibly there's other people another Well if this is a top group that's most likely correct
    95:24
    he gets a few spins there at uh what a hundred thousand each sauces are lit but it's Heat Wave which you don't really want he's been timing that out
    95:35
    all right oh still shooting for it and I'm pretty sure that this target there changes what's on these I'm not sure about well I know it gives you a hot dog each time you hit it you get three hot dogs and then
    96:03
    you're fighting Joey chest on July 4th I believe I could be wrong
    96:12
    apparently the drop oh oh and unfortunately he loses it tries to keep it out of the out lane worst he can do would be third third yep um
    96:29
    second puts them in 61 points Ron could really make a statement here Heat Wave sauces are lit it is gonna start Heatwave and it's probably worth three million well that's kind of a number he needs
    96:54
    I do believe that's part of the mode though based off of it's only tropes during this mode I'm actually surprised that you wouldn't go for this though it's I think the confusion is what do you have to do in it isn't it just these three shots but we've seen people shoot multiple times now there was multiple D's on the bullseye there was a ding then double ding then triple ding when we saw um Ron play it I think last time or was it danielli and literally they scored no points it was Danielle playing it now when I played in the Expo I did not play for a heat wave I was playing for the the bullseye oh for the spinner yeah is it all coming back now DJ well I mean the spinner part of it yes yeah unfortunately the spinner gets lit by the drop which is currently not working yeah we got a mystery spot Heat
    97:48
    so popsicle's worth a hundred thousand in bonus so he's and I'm pretty sure that this the spinner also has like two levels of value too besides like the base value I think God choose his feature though oh so the slings that's right the slings change what what's currently left mystery has been good ketchup score he's at a thousand one time five hundred all right still needs a lot to get to uh a third place yeah and now how do we light the uh modes plus officers
    98:28
    I'm sure he'll talk about it on Slam tilt podcast yep he uh and Bruce so when you're shooting that right Loop now are you you're just getting change pop is that all you're getting though
    98:41
    there is another up here so it's possible that we'll do something so the bullseye spots a letter um is that gonna help I mean okay that that is only about twenty thousand yeah ten thousand a rip yeah it's ten thousand has been so that could be worth a long way to get there if this is okay nice feed
    99:09
    it's not a hot dog all right it looks like he's slowly spelling uh car hop
    99:18
    boy okay so that didn't do anything well he's at this star now
    99:25
    why not take some shots of the bullseye oh there's the back glass it smells car hop on the back last chat right there that's what what's going on but he needs to switch it over to get the pee and that probably is your uh jackpot uh mode a jackpot's worth 9 million last I saw
    99:50
    a lid spinner all right so if he gets like one more sling he could stay safe of course nice save
    100:00
    okay forget about it drop Target action there's a countdown five four three two the award is 500. yeah because you want to hit that for 500 oh I wouldn't go for that no okay
    100:16
    oh look at that the bullseye is almost at the p what switches it over to the P I believe the slings do I'm not taking a shot of the sling it's a hot dog
    100:36
    another hot dog oh there we go that was worth a million yep and his pee is ready he's flashing for a minute oh oh hit that there you go bullseye bullseye hit it oh no come on
    100:52
    we need to see this bullseye oh he said both sides of it will the third time be the charm all right nice [ __ ] usually about eight shots I can probably dial it in after about eight
    101:13
    it didn't register what did not and then he just hit us playing over to the air
    101:21
    all right but he has now he's cleared drops and now he's got his Scoops left oh and it switched it switched over to the nobody likes the he's third this puts him in the third place a chance to win it next Double your score oh yeah but again
    101:44
    but not big points not just Sun just Suns uh yeah it's not worth anything and there's the drain he is gonna get popped this could be interesting does he get past it doesn't get past born okay okay but he does get his three uh did he get he'll he'll get third place so he'll be at 63 points Bowen will be at 61 points oh wow uh Danielle will be at 61. so Ron could win this yeah he has 63. we know that uh but now you've got two other contenders there too right and you know they're gonna be playing each other the way the it works good old Carl D'Angelo's gonna switch things out probably change the battery as well yep and uh thanks for joining us DJ yes absolutely it's good to be here good to be in sunny California yep you know grab yourself a liquid death if you're a little thirsty I've got myself a little cup of water from the barbecue place down the road if you want the liquid death you got one yeah thank you very much
    102:47
    no this is this is a lot of fun so what what do we think is next what's going to be we're going to be following Ron I'm guessing and whoever could be so danieli will be also at 61 points bowling will be at 61. I cannot imagine those three not in the next group although whoever was behind them yeah so and the grouping was really close at lunchtime other than for like Ron and a few others we know will will end with 57 in this round so needs a little bit of help hey that's still a strong finish 120 players in this event
    103:27
    there's my good buddy Levy come on over Levy come on over come on down to the Price Is Right I have to believe it or not finish a seventh tournament the pinball profile played in America tournament oh we did that yesterday at the lab which is one of the homes of the stern pro circuit but the playoffs are actually tonight after that last done so I gotta get all that set up we're going back to the lab because there's not enough pinball DJ there is not no no Raymond you're gonna be there too I have to run over there to play and thank you so much for all the awesome prizes yes oh thank thanks to the great sponsors uh I mean sponsors like in disc like that uh pinball play in America Tour uh yeah you can't do it without Damien has done a wonderful job with that uh it's a lot of work you know from Pittsburgh and Papa and pinberg days what everyone does crazy crazy like you know looking at the setup in here and just you know everything that had to be done to get all this stuff set up it's amazing it's always good to see both you gentlemen but there's somebody that's here that I was really excited to see we're gonna see him on the stream I think tomorrow in the classics and for anybody who ever played at Pin bird or Nova's Papa Kevin Martin is here and it's great to see Kevin here and you know still wanting that pinball pinball bug and stuff and I just said I hope he has the greatest time where he goes this is good I miss it so much let's do it again right come on Kevin yeah anyway we we missed the good old days in Pittsburgh let me tell you yeah no it's good I gotta check out the dojo I hear that's a lot of fun with uh all the great people that run that and I don't want to forget anybody but I know Evan Sarah and John and AJ and yeah yeah yeah I mean they're they're picking up where the the dust is left you know and there's a there's actually there's just no shortage of pinball in Pittsburgh at this point well I saw lots of good locations I saw you at Kickback and yeah that was a lot of fun too we ran an event there yep what a great location is that where the uh that state finals are there day finals are there how do you determine where it's going to be because such a big state
    105:37
    so Doug uh he's the one that is the State Rep yeah and he's the one that makes the sure the choice yep but I'm not gonna complain that it's in Pittsburgh because it's a nice easy uh yeah jaunt um but there's a lot of people so I will say that a few years ago yep you would have had a lot of it would have been Pittsburgh heavy much like Doodlebug Pittsburgh heavy look at this see this is this is this is a quintessential Pittsburgh we're talking about Pittsburgh Doodlebug shows up yeah if I hand comes up next but you know just one thing on the the PA States is you look at the uh the list of players on there's like a good solid like 40 50 that are from middle and uh eastern Pennsylvania now so gentlemen all the best picked up all the best year Levy's gonna join all right all right take care Levy and as um Jeff had mentioned Bowen Karen's Danielle and Ron are in this group along with Josh Sharp so it's not a game unless you get the doodle bug up to 10 grand let's go let's go
    106:51
    DJ what's up dude Ray hey lovey Carl just crushing some like with death you know no big deal oh man you got any more of that we do [Music] all right here it is Ron Howard could win Doodlebug and win right Josh shark or Doodlebug starting player one it's one player games and this and people don't pick these right this is just match plays this is just match play it seems a little Rick because it's doodle book possible last game but no it's all random that was a nice little series there from uh from the veteran Josh sharp yeah
    107:30
    oh it's noodling we're dealing Doodle for 10. oh and we're out I like these one player games really really get to know the players on this one I'm kind of wondering what's going through his mind right now like do you think he's really excited about this game just like I can't believe I'm playing the 7 000s game of Doodlebug of my life why am I doing this to myself all right but uh he wants that hole he wants already got it God bless him good hole good hole so you really the name of the game besides keeping the stupid ball alive is really trying to get that Doodle Bug value up right which is in on this one not easy at all I don't know one two three four would like your extra ball right for the center but I guess we'll find out no reason worrying about oh nice that was big time 5000 in the hole that you'll take all day long oh it lights your lands right and he's got his uh oh
    108:38
    so how did he get that 100 though did he get that from the top not all those hard maybe that oh the green ones Center targets yeah yeah it's better yeah I think it sponsor you okay um oh all right
    108:57
    uh this is big time we're up to 25 000. all four and he needs every hundred he can get here oh tap it if only it was a hundred it's only ten all right he has shut down the bug oh just like a rookie scrub so I wouldn't think this guy's been playing Pinball's entire life Wow all right uh you gotta figure You're Gonna Want 60 70 on this yeah we're at 32 last ball I don't think it's gonna be that high that's a lot to win it uh you're right you're right here
    109:34
    so let's see a toughy game you know what it's a baby game oh they make it look so cute but it is brutal and uh okay 34. I think we can all agree that's not a great score that's not wrong that's the winning score that's not a winning score well I think you're aiming for like 60 or so but I guess we'll see as these players filter through it is Classics Anything could happen right the game could spontaneously combust you could fly away we never know what these things are gonna do these crazy Classics games
    110:06
    I like the the smirks on the players as they look at this game [Laughter] all right I'm gonna abandon my Q thank you I'm dedicated to this game of Doodlebug I'm gonna abandon the queue I appreciate you love it look you and me both man I had to abandon MyQ yeah where were you dude Jeff had to come in here and do mop up dude so so here's the problem I think uh every I thought it was eight o'clock when you guys all left it was only seven oh not much you could do about that there though oh but he didn't have to dick around with the flipper so he was he was noodling yeah he doodled but he forgot to bug all right all right oh there it is saucer there we go actually that spot so that spots a shot is what that does the green one that's pretty money there's two oh oh that's nice nudge that was the kind of Veteran play that we expect from Boeing Karen's gets that three can all he needs was that four to advance himself Advance himself to the hundreds and then get some serious doodling going not trusting anything with those outlands or under the flipper I mean this is a basically you know the ball comes your way and don't Noodle around just flip it back up there hope for the best I would say bone counts off to a pretty nice start here um it's only about two for him fifteen thousand that was smart just backhanded get it out of there and he wants that four though he wants it bad I don't know if he's ever wanted something so bad in his life is that for eign
    111:46
    what's so it's a one player why does it reset like why doesn't it let you just keep all your progress it's a jerk yeah in many ways this game is just a jerk it realized what pinball should be well I don't know if you're Josh sharp how are you feeling right now a lot of nickels back in the day depends on this ball I think yeah this ball is going to tell us a lot of the story I think
    112:15
    real bells in this game it's not chimes and I like the reflex there and the ball was coming right back here and he was able to flip it and get it out from there otherwise it was going to go back under that sling again all four it's about 12 000 short of Mr Sharp right now thirteen thousand yep maybe it's an awesome Love No Love No Love from the hole maybe there it is two
    112:47
    get back to that song Everybody in the history of mankind humankind ever gotten the ten thousand doodle on this thing I I doubt it it seems It seems impossible car Carlos did it on stream yep who what Carlos laserless oh wow sure I'm sure that are we sure about that or was the audience just in a haze no I I watch Carl all the time and I swear he's got the game set up so easy it's only way he's getting all these goals and uh don't look now but uh it looks like sharp is about to fall behind right fellow veteran Bowen Karen's huh 104 needs to get something all right all right he's good that's going to give him the lead currently how many times how many times hundreds of tens of thousands of times like what I'm watching Bob Matthews play and he like drains on Joker poker I'm just like how many lifetime Joker poker drains is that for for somebody's been playing that long
    113:51
    we look at that maybe 60 years of Joker poker yeah it's gonna be hundreds of thousands of drains on Joker all right so that's 130 I'm sorry that's 36 for Bowen 34 for Josh and uh like someone's gonna blow this thing up you know it might as well if there's anyone that could do it I would definitely take danieli right now
    114:16
    all right he's doodling slowly but steadily sad ten ten points at a time I know what you're saying but it is adding up it is adding up no I am doing there's no water doodling um and now he's got to do that again if he wants to get it lit for 100. we're gonna just keep doing that I mean points are points right now and you know that wasn't a bad first ball ten thousand five bucks you do that five times you're done
    114:50
    no saucer unfortunately so I'm guessing uh they haven't had an opportunity to try to find out where that plunge is wishing you add that back almost as if he's never played Doodlebug before ah there we go yeah and as you guys could see in the bottom left there are scores for both Bowen and Josh yep listed I feel like if you've played anything in Pittsburgh you played yeah he's definitely played some Doodlebug but let's see if he learns from that previous mistake didn't dead pass there which is what got him in trouble last time uh this is a tilt ends game isn't it uh I would believe so they're playing for sure he does get Advanced he's at two you know you get three and four and get duel and you will get some points oh man I you know I mean I thought he was gonna give it a little English off of that come on man he's just throwing it back in play he is hungry he wants to get that dueling for a lot of points
    115:56
    um this is his last ball and he's currently in the last place let's see if he can make up a little ground here before the inevitable conclusion of this game Doodlebug oh Doodle Man doodle let's get that three all right get that three that's not gonna do it he isn't currently in well last place yep but uh all right you know so I was wrong nobody's scoring seventy thousand points we we could be done here we could be wrong just needs to get 36 860. you can get 36. and he knows he's got it he doesn't need to get he's got a taste chat chat do you think we're gonna be finished now or do you want to see more pinball foreign
    116:43
    just in case I'm going to go ahead everyone's saying come on Ron so let's go yeah you think it's going to be it yeah I think it's feeling I'm getting an Accu Levy's already saying we're done I'm getting behind here two saucers oh almost a third yeah no messing around he's going right for the doodle oh well somebody dude somehow Josh sharp was just playing pinball here now he's playing pinball on Congo yeah there's a lot of double Dippers in this match play tournament all right gets his saucer open oh and he he is uh just taking a moment to realize he might have gotten given something see this is kind of dangerous you're gonna do this little flip little little baby flip and then maybe up to that too you just don't want to flip it into that little Gap that's it you could do it pretty easily if it's going there you just Panic right and backflip you might there it is there it is Boom very nice got the two just like he drew it up all right I thought he's gonna chill there I thought he was too no he just wants it he wants it he wants it bad very nice oh where's the floor or the saucer get the saucer all right man is doodling right now
    118:03
    I'm just trying to keep it in play trying to get those boom boom boom yeah he's got three more balls saucer saucer that's big although really what's big is you want the 5 000 at this point yep don't tilt it now getting a little aggressive he is but it's just kind of even like little haters two more balls he's about halfway halfway where he's got to be and he's got two more balls to do it so
    118:38
    I mean he doesn't even have him he he at least wants to not finish last can't get any love on that saucer man no the the wrong award that was smart see he backhanded he just flipped there instead of letting it go into that little Outland oh one ball left currently in last not looking good about six thousand behind danielli I guess that's his first order of business here to stay in the mix yep get closer to that 70 that's the goal 500 that's all he's getting on that sauce 500s you know
    119:13
    danielli watching with faded and that's a last for Ron Howard we're going on for another round of pinball and uh Ron's gonna be falling behind at this point uh he's gonna fall behind Bowen Who's Gonna Take the Lead I suppose yeah bones gonna have 68 points Ron's gonna have 64. danieli will have 60 um for Josh goes up to 62. all right nice tight mix all right well um I don't know about you guys but this is an exciting tasty amuse Bouche for this weekend of pinball we're starting out with some Target match play we're moving on tomorrow to women's Classics women's Saturday right uh finals uh Saturday yeah but there is a lot of pinball this weekend a stupefying amount of pinball DJ real there's gonna be match play there's gonna be high stakes there's gonna be women's there's going to be Maine there's gonna be uh sorry open we call it classic classic class classic classic classic classic high stakes so what's next what's the next game tournaments where's the tournament at Monday thanks a lot Ron I was really yeah so many great games too Stargazer meteor Sinbad like it's a lot of awesome games to choose from
    120:32
    what game do you guys want to see well I have no idea what's over there uh well there's the stars in the mix
    120:43
    something there is a star that's fast how about eight ball that's that's a toughie got a Mystic that's usually fast so we're gonna have three players who could I think you could possibly seal Victory this next time around at least three yeah at least three yeah yeah I got a good feeling this is the last round they're playing for all the Marvels and some cash is Sinbad really marvelous I think so
    121:11
    yeah sinbach's right over there you know Chad seems to question whether or not it's great uh it is I've been playing a lot of Sinbad this last couple months and uh I I vacillated between really stupid game to awesome yeah and I'm back towards the awesome the needle is trending in the awesome Direction right now uh it's just cool because once you kind of learn the play once you kind of learn how to work that Playfield with the weird flipper arrangement it becomes kind of a more interesting game than just like like I tend to backhand those uh the three Targets on the right yep I'd like to just no matter what I what I've got going if I have it trapped up there I'm going up there uh you can backhand the left you can go up straight uh for the uh for those five Targets in the top left a lot of interesting stuff is it gonna be a Sinbad or are we just rhapsidizing about Sinbad I mean uh so we're talking about Sinbad I feel like it's going to be the best on this Thursday night you know we have uh how many people are out there
    122:13
    only 339 people all right well welcome all 340 of you to the first of many televised awesome professional tournaments you're going to see this week um so really the place to be all right I see the umbrella over there it could be cheetah it could be China I wouldn't mind watching some cheetah that was here last year I think that's that's gonna be a long year if it's if it's cheetah yep uh okay let's go with uh
    122:43
    maybe some bow and arrow how about lost how about Lost World oh thank you is there a magic here very well could be there was one last year there's a meteor yeah that magic is was a ticket killer oh I love that one I hated that stupid game that's how I got in ticket killer and uh believe me and DJ played on it actually last year I kept falling or something magic here goes the umbrella's moving it looks like it's gonna be a stupid guy no man it's eight ball it is eight ball oh it's eight ball all right boom Ray give me something boom boom it's gonna be eight ball you know it you love it it's eight ball we'll do the super quick uh rules thing is this one uh with or without a Powerball I would assume this is a normal pinball I've never seen a Powerball here in the uh in the index misk mix that's nice yeah that is that they don't do weird silly little fun tricks it's weird enough games has is right except for the permanent spot of Mystery Castle is it back up yet it was down I think that game's had a lot more play than it was designed to have yeah it's it's well past its service so all right this is not the group
    124:12
    gotta wait for them to uh oh no all right so we get bonus pinball basically watching these guys this must be because the game uh went out and uh these guys had to change games so this is still right well you know it you love it it's eight ball uh if you shoot the target in the top right there to let your spinner which you just did a lot of people go for that candy cane up there uh it's a bonus game it's a spinner game it can be a frustrating game it is also the second best-selling game of all time no way really wait uh behind only Adams Family oh nice spinner right guys uh well yes amazing nice shot from Arizona's Rolling Valley must have been doing some really good marketing at that time there was just you know people weren't ready for this digital stuff and this game was blocked I mean you know what are you gonna do play this or prospector it blew much
    125:11
    and who was uh he's like DJ's like in blue all right all right up the candy cane oh she tried for that spitter and hit the post no that shot over by the eight ball that lights your spinner and your Kickback right or just the ball does the kickback and the spinner right right so it's very key A lot of times you just get that off the pop but you really and it sucks because he did get the kickback but it does not give you the double Kickback uh Gray's period of modern pinball machine here comes uh Brian there you go nice freebie there yep one of the many one of the mines behind the Whopper oh he was early and is he gonna get another chance all right how's he gonna get this over there he's not he's just that's how oh he attempted uh you know use the uh the post there to come somewhere and then you know look it's a kickback it's not a save yeah so it's like its job is to kick once Dennis and after that let the let the whatever happens fall where they may yep Here Comes Dennis nice to be back back in the booth with you again DJ yeah man you too
    126:26
    basking in the Afterglow of your classics all right is he gonna go for his spinner Kickback thing yes he is Spinner is lit the kickback is lit that was a wise move oh there's no Kickback I said no one does the candy cane trick I feel like that's not like the double whammy you get the uh points from the candy cane and it usually hits that pie bummer and then goes back into the target for you right I mean that's kind of there's a lot of points up there in that thing right first time we've seen Austin here Austin trend of Oklahoma Sooner uh we do we came into this game already in the middle of ball one
    127:07
    reverse candy man that is a gaping gaping left Outlander he drains you just everything is gaping on this it is why was this game so again I don't understand why it was so popular it's just it was just the first kind of digital game that it kind of had it remembered between the players which was big EMS didn't do that yeah right in this unlicensed Fonz theme people were into oh it's a nice looking game
    127:36
    it's kind of like they pulled a Godly before you know Godly learned how to do that in the 80s uh the HD Gold Wings bone Buster just like pull off the uh unlicensed license Hollywood Heat oh man that ball just died this is pretty sticky app is uh it is gigantic yeah it is it puts creature to shame yeah all right let's see if Brian Shepard gets something going he's uh
    128:05
    not off to such a hot start but uh this is one of those ball games or one ball can rule them all nice little catch there on the left flipper it's gonna go for that eight ball Target he is he's gonna miss it unfortunately not let's go get another shot though I haven't seen anybody go for the candy cane well he reverse candid and has trouble and he he just he knew before it was even gone it's just floating and he's like yeah I'm good it wasn't gonna bounce off of anything and come back it wasn't gonna catch the tip of the flipper ball three you could catch an insert and squirrel away yeah yeah there was something admirable in the way I said see ya all right all right Dennis looking to get some nice spinner points and this is ball three so uh fortuitous bounds there all right come on let's get a spinner rip here need some spinner that was nice and just by virtue of that he launches himself oh and that nudge there just another spirit and that launches himself into second place just like that but as player one he needs every point he can get oh what a nice save there we didn't that's the first time we've seen this oh man it's coming down so slow and he just he wanted to trust that dead bounce and it just went no I'm done it's too bad he was really on a roll right there another another couple spinner rips and he made that awesome save there it was out and he pushed it back in to get that second spinner rip so it gets him almost to first place might have secured him second gonna find out oh there it is off the pop so you're saying just let's just shoot the cane shoot the king and it's probably gonna hit that at that Target anyway I feel like nine times out of ten you're getting it finished dinner it still feels good to actually hit it
    130:09
    that's what he wanted now it's Spinners lift the rest of his ball his kickback is lit until he uses it
    130:17
    nice little spinner all right he's in the conversation now he's also got 18 000 in bonus right now [Music] oh that sounds people keep trusting it he could have just flopped that away and that is gonna put him in last place still yeah third third yeah
    130:43
    I just had a hair on this guy yeah man Roland looking to just get ready got that dude done right before you know in this that's what's he smiling about
    130:54
    he's like maybe he's listening to us he's listening to you yeah yeah okay yeah I didn't tell him to listen hey Roland all right all right we'll be quiet then I guess that's what he wants but it is a really nice dude well I hope you know I hope I hope we're not helping him out by revealing the secrets of this deep rules
    131:24
    all right and Roland is about to plunge out here that is a first I've always wondered if anybody ever listens to this I feel like it's usually got a five second delay it'd be a little weird right yeah for sure it would it would screw up oh no is it gonna be enough though we're gonna find out I know you know I got a little bonus for his troubles there and Shep you know don't count out the ship you're looking at two good spinner rips and you can maybe get there so we're gonna see it's just that simple and it's more than two it means more than two I'd say he needs three you know another thing that uh I would do in this game that I'm noticing others not doing is plunge for this Lane right here you know right because it's it'll fall and hit that pop these Papa guys they're always one step ahead ah he goes through the shots and trying to get it to the right Flipper the Spinners lit Kane there we go come on too weak
    132:23
    oh no oh my goodness oh so yes it's gonna let it bounce out and back he likes it just think it was gonna go to that left flipper and it just doesn't matter Roland and his head of hair does take that one uh very nicely played rolling going up to 48 points there and uh man that was two where Shep just had to bail out this game was very steep the way it just kind of sinks there could also be some magic with those inserts once these games get to be the same we did see some magic on one of Dennis's balls that just like circled up there and thankfully found a flipper all right we are unleashing our producer to find us a new game to stream I cannot believe that guy was that Roland was listening to the uh I've always wondered if anybody ever does that I just think it would be a little too difficult yeah it would it would continue to start to catch things and you know it would throw you off yeah it was great not putting headphones on at all it was funny we were cracking them up yep all right
    133:26
    um so that should be the last game saying that that was uh uh redo basically of a previous game oh okay they they had to bail out yeah they bailed out of another game that was their game that's why we got to get some extra pinball that was nice of our producer to uh come over here get into the mix so we're getting back in the queue then umbrella is moving down to Paragon possibly oh that'll be fine oh please oh where where are we going is it we're going right there and I have no clue what game that is so is it Aladdin's Castle no it's not going to Aladdin's Castle well you know what we're all found out together what the hell that's what we're gonna do you know we can cuss he's not here when Carl leaves the booth we can do whatever we want that's why I'm here keeping his Lieutenant yes to keep us in line
    134:22
    unbelievable he is also listening right now oh uh yeah yeah I was not meeting to do that we're just joking yeah yeah we're just kidding um well this is you know it took a little while to heat up but the pinball action is definitely hot right now oh dude everybody's like mulling about look look what's happening right now all of a sudden it's like round let's go
    134:47
    so what are these games that are on the back wall those are the women's games these are the ones their backs facing us those are free play Captain's auction one it's a really nice replay back this year again you've still got time to get here to indisk oh we're gonna wrap this puppy up on Wizard no man right that wizard is the Italian at a ball version oh okay yeah we are almost gonna wow yeah yeah yeah this is the last game there's no way it can't be the last right any one of these guys is going to launch themselves the winner of this game will win this entire chimichanga right not not necessarily because tiebreaker points Bowen has four points ahead of everyone else in this group okay so Bowen needs to finish second or first to guarantee Victory Cruella third do it third will do it third one third will guarantee a tie break time right and so if if we have more than one player over 70 here we're going to yet another game of pinball that I believe so yes Carl believed so another game of pinball what if two people had 71 points true yeah good point good point so if two if two players finish over 70 we'll have a tie breaker only if they finish at the same point value ah of course if someone's at 71 and someone's at 72 72 wins and I'm not going to attempt that math because it would cause my brains to melt um I'm sure you guys can sort that out so uh we're gonna have Ron playing uh player one and then uh Andrew Rosa the second player two uh danielli's in the mix from Italy so I'm just going to tell you this is a great game yeah this game rules um I own one of these all you gotta do is go one two three and four and hit the lit drop targets it's a little tough sometimes to see which Target is lift but you can see they move in series on the left and right the center one is lit now um getting those uh one two three four series I believe and then hitting the center will advance your bonus value so actually one two three four will advance your bonus value right and here you don't have to hit this value okay if you clear all the targets then hit the center and the bonus fact is what you get for a lit drop Target right yeah okay so all you really need to know you could this is a rollable game when you get on a roll yep um you also can collect that bonus in the outlands yes you it's you you'd much prefer to drain it's one of these guys where you want to drain on the out lane not down the gaping Center yeah but nothing good that happens down there laughs that's a good rule of thumb generally
    137:38
    and uh quite often uh which uh Inland you guys get is very important on this game yeah why depending on the feed definitely if the game these are older games I've seen games where the one just goes oh right right right oh and one other fun thing you can shoot those top Lanes from the bottom flippers oh yeah to complete your sequence yep and uh you'll see some more experienced players who I think are used to this game maybe try to do that you can get your one and your four that way yep um so it's one of these games where the sooner you can advance that the better so if you can get your one two three and four on your first ball if you can do it twice you're sitting pretty if you're on ball five and you haven't done it yet you've probably got an uphill climb uh beautiful beautiful game um this one this one's in great shape it's so nice to see these where the the light sockets actually work so many of these like those drop Target lights like half of them just don't work yep yep you have no idea what you're shooting at all right here comes Ron Hallett Junior second attempt to get the this done the Albany assassin he came here to win Target match play and chew gum and he's all out of Gump no matter what he's had a great game would he be guaranteed top four at least yeah that's great right well um there's a possibility other but he's gonna blow this up so yeah he's gonna blow it up he's not to a great start the three and the two are the harder ones to get of course um
    139:08
    so he's also a really nice start there's this four and he's Advanced yeah the four is still again he could shoot that with his left flipper if he wanted
    139:19
    and so you know there's some interesting strategy on what you wanted there it is he's Advanced now to 2000 so every little drop Target now is worth two thousand points oh and then hitting that Center Target will reset the drops once they're all knocked down and it moves your bonus up right right right yeah so clearing all your drops will like that Center Target that was about one and it was a good ball one he Advanced to his bonus level but he really wants to start catching in some drops and even if it's not lit knocking all those drops down is big time because it'll help you uh advance that bonus right yep yeah but if you can get a trap then maybe you can get a shot on one of these lit drop targets there it is
    140:02
    what do you think the target score is going to be on this one I think it's got to be 70 80. do you want to win it yeah you might be looking at 90. the scores can get big on this once you you know you get that that value advanced he only has one drop left in his bank and it's lit that's the lit Target there on the right one there one there no it's not let it was the mech yeah that's the mech right there yeah he only has one target left on the lower the last Target is that one right yeah see it's the pull out for the switch Yeah but he does get the one so he's closer to going up to 3 000 for uh oh that's what he wants it's ball three now and now he's at three thousand each oh this is big you've got to reset those drops though that's definitely his top priority right now definitely yeah just nothing to shoot for that bonus value that's good I can post past this you could definitely shots it yeah all right there it is now he's got to get his Center Target so he got 3 000 points he Advanced to four thousand now it's time to hit drop targets there's one Oh I thought I got one oh nice save this is a tilt-ins game so got to be careful but who's these players to not get carried away oh that was a four thousand dollar uh Point uh outline though it was but uh forty thousand he's got a little ways a four thousand value possibly five if he gets that one oh no that is bad oh my god oh and he gets the one any resets he's up to five thousand right now he's cooking he's got forty seven thousand he needs to start hitting some lit drop targets though oh no all right one more one more ball max value for bonus it's got 50 000 points but he needs to pour it on if he wants to win this thing Now's the Time all right he's got that Lit available but he yeah I don't think he's hit a lit drop Target yet
    142:07
    nice drop catch that one no not a lift now he missed the gun nothing so his two is yeah that one is lit but he would have had to pass it over he didn't didn't seem like he was interested he just wanted it because keep in mind he will oh nice save it kind of drifted to the right there a little I thought for sure that was uh does he have a little one yeah he does have a lip one now he does not but he's close to getting 5000 again just for knocking down all of his his drops yep and just 1 000 pops right now man but it's the table is set and the dinner never came out of the kitchen 61. 61 not a horrendous score not not a amazing not a killer though against this caliber opponent that's that's going to be tough to hold the lead I think he knows it yep see he's getting the cue he's doing the same thing getting in the queue no no he's taking a picture taking a picture of the score
    143:06
    everyone give a round of applause and chat for Ron he had an amazing match play yeah seven first in a row that's insane on these classics that will get you to the final round all right here's Andrew Rosa the second a very very good and accomplished young player out of Flint Michigan
    143:31
    and uh he's trying to win this thing another two not looking good to start Oh I thought he was gonna another two
    144:09
    oh oh that was a nice day he got himself in trouble there and was able to bail himself out so
    144:23
    I'm trying to get the uh feel there it is there's the one he's from the right flipper
    144:29
    and when you're this early on in the game it really doesn't hurt to just whack at those drop targets because you want to just get through them as quick as you can I got the three now only the four stands between him and an advance
    144:47
    man that was just now we all saw it coming wanting that four unfortunately does not get it and uh this is ball three
    144:59
    still enough time to turn this around yeah but he wants to start getting getting something something done you know you get you get that four and you get the uh the last drop and you reset it you're up to 3 000 bonus so
    145:18
    all right need that Center Target right here to reset everything and that'll give them a thousand points and more importantly advance to the 2000 and he can start thinking about going for drop targets
    145:31
    [Music] so uh I don't know Ron might look at a little rough at the moment he gets the four at least so he's up to two thousand finally got it up to two oh that was nice that also was nice now we can take that one ah oh tries for the Target
    145:56
    oh his drops are all down okay yep there you go oh and it didn't register wow you don't see that often oh but that'll register up to three thousand and he's still got the advance sitting there on the center Target right yep he needs that to get the drops up so thank you on the fly on this game all right it's all come down to ball five for the young Flintstones no targets needs that reset bad
    146:28
    and and getting to the left there oh my goodness wow
    146:37
    okay one more get that volume up there he needs targets and he needs it there it is now's his chance five thousands let's go come on oh
    146:55
    yeah oh a little low oh oh nice tip over come on bro there it is that's sweet making money now let's go that was not lit but he's close to another Target uh reset and he's still behind Ron a side drain would do it but a side drain would get him ahead of Ron oh he's very close to Ron too close for comfort if you are the Albany assassin it was looking ugly but he started to get it there at the end this is looking good and that's going to put him ahead of Ron I believe he is just ahead of wrong and now he can start getting something done more money oh he's low man you get so few so if you trap and shoots on this yeah you know all right 73 for Ron Hallett I'm sorry for uh Andrew Rosa II and uh just like with Ron Andrew had an amazing day of pinball throw up some emotes for him
    148:03
    it cannot be understated is a great way for all four of these guys to start this tournament um and all of our competitors absolutely
    148:18
    tronline is empty they must be working on it no nobody's playing it
    148:27
    since we play in Tron it is really nice it's a really nice playing Tron all right we're halfway through the final round of this tournament the possibly final round as we've been saying this is the final round uh we didn't we figure out there could be some kind there could be a tie breaker all right but that isn't technically around I'm gonna allow that
    148:51
    all right it's like a bonus ball right yeah it's more bonus pinball and you know what Chad agrees more pinball is good pit ball chat we've got pinball all weekend long yeah you know don't don't burn yourselves out you know I hope they're enjoying this uh sneak preview of the hot pinball action we've got in store there's two pretty terrible for us Daniel is not that uh doesn't have much progress but we saw Andrew like come from nothing to uh catch uh Ron last ball and I gotta tell you Bowman's got to be licking his chops oh yeah these scores thinking he could put this thing to bed here he only needs uh he just wants to go for those drops there up top
    149:41
    so I suppose this game has no lower sling shots but it does have slingshots up there by the drop targets and they can actually knock the drop targets down it's a really interesting uh Playfield design yeah some of you also might be familiar with the hideously ugly team one which is the attaball version which will pop up sometimes in tournaments is a weird game all right to Advanced bonus he has the three left or the one drop and then Center Target oh got this last drop right there can he get the three gonna go over
    150:29
    all right I'm in the cube oh yeah you think this is it huh surfing Safari well it's a pretty long queue too people are starting to come back from dinner they're bailing out of the match play oh all right Center Target we'll get the drops back up and Advance him to three and he needs both what a dig I wonder if he knows that it doesn't go out of its way to let you know you're supposed to hit it does it what's that the Target no it does not um no at that point or you'd be cradling and calling a TD going hey it's not the drug well uh we're on ball five yeah this was the ball five and he's if he's gonna make a run he's gonna have to do it now does he know about those yeah it does
    151:22
    all right it's time to start hitting a lot of draw targets not one
    151:32
    this is a killer game really is yeah whoa and that's gonna put him he's gonna be short no yes yep it's gonna be last but guys emotes up in chat for Danielle from Italy blowing it up this week for the traveled award
    151:57
    uh there might be a German or two lurking around oh all right here he is you know him you love him it's bone Karen's and uh he could put it away right now yep yeah but does he need that like what does he actually need um he only needs second right right so he needs seven he needs second to secure it yeah if he gets third so he would be in a tiebreaker with Andrew all right so his first order of business is to beat danielli's paltry score of 42 000. and that will guarantee him at least a tiebreaker yeah with at least to Andrew there might be other 64s in the other group
    152:50
    the feeds have been uh nice from that top all right there's his that was just his first ball and that was not a bad first ball he's got great progress he just needs this two to increase his value to 2000. all right nope
    153:14
    dancing around that two over there on the left-hand Lane there it is no you can always forget about those uh a thousand pop bumpers they can add up too yeah
    153:31
    as he gets closer he very well might decide hey that's what I need I need 2 000 more all right see he was listening he's going for his path he just got into it I just kind of alternate yeah it alternates from those things oh no pop hits all right here we go into ball three oh take a left hand walk take a little stroll kick an imaginary puppy I've done that before yeah could be a chair yeah we'll never know what he was kicking there in his head so remember if it's imaginary there's no Yellow Card so when you start kicking real things that the uh the flags come out yep oh and this ball is not going back piece of dirt maybe he could backhand that Target on the left there what do you think of that do it right just drop it no no
    154:24
    got his uh bottom right oh I knew that was trouble so he is out of two balls yep and right now 42 000 is actually looking so far away
    154:40
    so Andrew Rosa could win this thing if he is unable to claw his way back into daniele town correct he can um I'm not gonna guarantee it because like I said there could be oh this is trouble there could be another 64 in the other group ah so don't start screaming like a maniac at Andrews one point okay and Andrew takes the seven can I can I scream that he possibly won he could he's gonna definitely be in the max in the mix yes all right Ken Bowen put it together in ball four it's five I'm sorry about five ball five he needs a lot of work yeah he's Advanced one level uh he's got three drops up he was going for that one right there yeah
    155:32
    you know if there was a Target there he'd have another two thousand all right I have to believe he's gonna go for this Target and then reset them we'll go for that one yeah so now he's going to reset his drops go for the one and he does reset his drops and he does advance to three and now he's hits that Center thing is really going to uh get him closer to where he wants to be that's four thousand points right there if he can get it drops are not reset yes he's got to hit that Center Target there it is there it is oh that was huge he's up to thirty thousand just a few drops that's all you need Bowen boom one oh no and he is not going to defeat Danielle and our winner is possibly Andrew Rosa but we have to wait and see what happens in the other groups no I don't think so right no that's it our champion is Andrew Rosa congratulations to the young flintonian man about that you know we were we were wrong predicting lofty scores in this thing and uh I thought he would perhaps the factor DJ real it is it's a long day of Classics but a great final group uh congratulations to all these players and congratulations especially to Andrew Rosa too the second who's going to be on the banner next year nicely done son as the target match play champion [Music] pretty exciting for the first day I I know we're getting set up here I can see that we're on we're going to turn that light on the camera here um I'm very very excited that uh we had that kind of finish I know Bowen it was uh tough for you on Abracadabra I'm glad you're back here because I know you couldn't make it last year you had a scheduling conflict you're one of the greatest players of all time you almost pulled it out there that that darn em hey thanks Jeff but it's been all Em's all day and frankly a lot of games that I normally I'm terrible at uh gave me all kinds of day like uh Doodlebug and sky jump and uh uh Surfers apparently is a different game than a pretty good car hop and uh car hop had a chance there and almost took it down on that game so uh the good part about it is you get beat by players who who played really well instead of like crapping the bed when it really matters so like I'll take that so if you told me to take that score before the game was started I would take it and uh Andy and Ron and Danielle all played excellent on that game and it all matters uh and that's why they're they're in the positions they are at the end of this well a lot of us for watching you in the Stream and like we have for many years we learned something watching you play uh tutorial uh this time a freebie so thanks very much tutorial on how to finish last no no okay that's great there are 116 people who would like to be where you are right now we'll get you we'll get you a plaque here Damian
