Thank you very much. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. This show is Don't Panic Flip Iron Fox. Welcome to the stream. Iron Fox, has your name always been Iron Fox Tennessee with a capital T, capital N? I feel like something changed. And tonight with me, I have Surreal. Surreal, welcome to the stream. How you doing? I'm doing well. Hello, everybody.
6:15
Sporefrog, one of my favorite cards from, man, I can't remember the set. Was that Worldwake that Sporefrog was from? Devon Crates, big text, welcome to the stream. It is a recent change. Okay, cool. I feel like we caught the change. And Surreal, you're... Actually, did you say whether or not you were doing well?
6:38
I did, and I am. And you are. Okay. Good to hear. Dorkster... And the reason we do. What's that? No, I was just... Sorry. Dorkster came in. For whatever reason, the first time I read Dorkster, I read it as Dorkstar. so I for, I want to say at least a year, Dorkster, mispronounced your name. Thank you for still swinging by after having so many failed attempts to say it. But I'm saying it correctly now, but I have to say it in my mind incorrectly first before I can say it correctly out loud.
7:13
And, yep, sacrifice to prevent all combat damage. Only a month or two. You're very generous. Also, I am drinking Crown Royal Washington Apple. Check that out. That was a pickup from the liquor store that was kind of a joke. Like, I didn't think I was going to like it, and I fell in love. This drink is fantastic. This drink is very sweet. It's whiskey, apple, cranberry, and other natural flavors, carbonation, and colored with vegetable juice. Sorry, Canadian whiskey, mind you. And, Surreal, are you perhaps drinking anything this evening? Yeah, I'm just having vodka and soda, as usual. Okay. But I think I'd probably be willing to try one of those, but Crown is on the ever-shrinking list of liquors that I can't drink. they still invoke old memories of drinking way way too many you know too many of those i know exactly what you're talking about only recently have i been able to partake uh in the uh in the fun times that is um uh oh my god not whiskey not sake agave tequila there we go Tequila again.

Tequila I had to sort of learn to do again. Crown is one of those bad ones. What is the other one? Malibu. I had a coconut LaCroix and it tasted exactly like Malibu and I just couldn't. Nope. I used to just drink Malibu straight. We would just pull open a bottle and you would drink the entire bottle. Let's see. We've made a lot of good decisions in our lives, haven't we? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think so.
9:13
SporeFrog, good night, if you're headed out. Goran, welcome to the stream. I'm catching back up here. Only a month or two, says Dorkstar. Thank you again for not holding that against me. Wild Dog did the same. Oh, I hear it's real good. This is amazing. SporeFrog already drank all their beer. Goran had a root beer, or root beer. I'm not sure. Which way do you pronounce it? Is it root or root?
9:36
I say root. Florida Evans on Good Times says rut. Rut. Root beer. Okay. Root. Gored. I get it. Ooh, and I forgot about music. So what we're going to do... No, no, no. I think we're going to actually have to do music here. And I want to show... I filled up the fridge. I have all kinds of potential beverages, but we aren't, I think, going to drink any more of them tonight, the pre-mixed ones. We're going to make our own beverages because I got egg whites. We're fancy, and I have egg whites. Oh. So what we're going to do is listen to Baby Shark all night. Oh, my. Just saying that kind of got me all excited. Well, now I'm going to listen to Baby Shark all night.
10:27
Baby Shark all night. Thanks very much, Goran. Hans, welcome. I got my T-shirt the other day. Thanks so much. I'm impressed with the quality. Feels nice. Hey, that's tri-blend. Tri-blend or death. Always tri-blend. Feels nice. Is the whale following a hitchhiker? Yes! It's totally a Hitchhiker's Guide reference. It's this right here. You can kind of, it's hard to see. There we go. So there is the bowl of petunias. There is the whale. And it says not again right there. That's what it's a reference to. I don't think I would ask you why does the shirt have a brick instead of a bowl of petunias because I suck at pinball so it's a brick yes it's Hitchhiker's Guide I'm not great at pinball so let's celebrate mediocrity thing comment the past ok thank you and that was by the way that was with the OG logo too the stream was much more intertwined with the concept of Hitchhikers when I first started.
11:33
But I promised dubstep. Are you okay with dubstep, Surreal? Sure. Good. I haven't had a nosebleed and a headache in at least a week.
11:44
It's funny because I actually realize now that I say that, I don't think I have a dubstep playlist, do I? What is it? Dubstep tease. Well, I have a pre-made Apple playlist. I have a Starbomb playlist. That's really fun. Rip It, Nine Inch Nail, The Midnight, Marshmallow, Logic. I do have a Knife Party Essentials, which we could listen to. The Gaming definitely doesn't have it. Get Funky, Go the F to Sleep. I'm just like listing off all of my playlists right now. Dunk It, Dubstep. I guess we could go with Dubstep Essentials. I just don't know if it's any good because it's an Apple playlist. You know what? We're going to go with dance.
12:32
I'm not sure that there's a wide spectrum of good versus bad dubstep. Dubstep. Of course, it starts off as party rock.
12:46
I don't know that there is actually any dubstep on here. So this is maybe just more fun, enjoyable electronica.
12:54
That is still a little too loud. Is that coming through on your side, though, It's a real. Yeah, I hear it. I have the stream muted, because otherwise I hear everything a second and a half later again. Oh, no, it should be coming through your headphones. By the way, Joe Hills, welcome to the stream. Higher Peanut, welcome. Hans, if I didn't say hello earlier, hello and welcome.
13:17
VonKraft, raiding with a party of three. And he just ran right in. VonKraft, thank you so much. Welcome, raiders. welcome uh raiders if you just came over tonight we haven't even moved off of the main screen yet we are playing some iron maiden this evening and i'm excited because i haven't played much pinball recently and except actually i played rush the other day and i put up 600 million it felt amazing like i kept accidentally starting multi-ball after multi-ball after multi-ball in the newest code i'm really excited to play rush i don't know how much longer i have iron maiden so I'd really like to beat the game. And by beat it, I just want to get to Number of the Beast. I will be very satisfied after that if I can't find a way to buy this off of Man Adams. Also, Von Craft, what were you streaming this evening?
14:10
And the question of the night, and the one I want to keep coming back to is, here, this is good, this is good.
14:18
Name your favorite made-up category for Jeopardy. Like if you could come up with, was it two, four, six, eight hundred and a thousand? So I guess five different questions for a category. What would that fun category be? That's the question.
14:37
Interesting. I immediately am going to, you know, my brain goes to steal the SNL ones. Right. Therapists. Except it's swords.
14:53
stores. Oh my gosh. Those are so good. Turd Ferguson. Yeah. VonCraft spent most of the time trying to get to Wada characters mod of Williams Farrow working on my machine. Hmm. Categories. Interesting. So VonCraft was at a tech stream as you were working through mod installations. That's kind of fun.
15:20
The pen is mightier for 200. Oh my god, two people! Jinx, neither of you can talk until somebody says your name.
15:33
A petite du jour is a pretty good one. Petite du... I don't... I'm unfamiliar with that phrase. Yeah, I don't know what it means either. I know what the joke is, though. Okay.
15:48
It's... Here, I'll tape it. Okay. and dude I don't have any real pins at the VPX mod oh my god Von Craft I didn't even know that virtual mods were a thing I mean that's genius a petite du jour not getting anywhere with that like seeing it spelled out it's not helping there it is oh yeah that's the line yeah therapist is one of my favorite tunes therapist That was another surprising one. Vinnie Blank, welcome to the stream. Okay, there we go.
16:28
That's appet... Yeah. A petite. Okay, so... Oh, what else was I going to do? I was going to go to Droid Cam. I want to show... This refrigerator is no joke. All right? So, headed over here, and I'm on the wireless headset. Thought of that one beforehand. All right, check this out. So we have oat milk for coffee, and we've got the egg whites here for this evening. We've got non-alcoholic beverages here, right? There are the juice packs and pineapple juice and Sprite for Zoe, Dr. Pepper Mountain Dew, and Tonic for me. And then we come down here, we've got the strawberry cotton candy, a few Guinnesses left. I've already made it through two of the Washington apples tonight. No concern there whatsoever. A whole bunch of these pineapple vodka sodas, and then also quite a few of these rum mint mojitos. The next thing we're going to be drinking, oh no, that's right, I'm supposed to make other stuff, but I have sangrias. And then because I was so impressed with this Washington apple, I noticed they had a peach tea. So maybe I'll try a peach tea before moving over to the egg whites. And also some very fresh water. And there we go. That's the fridge, which is upset at me right now for leaving it open so much, for so long. Also, I finally made it back over and found a place that had Empress. This is, so there is, in my opinion, the best tasting gin, which I have, that's Monkey 47 over here. This gin is fantastic. Aviation is great. It's just like, it's smooth. It's amazing. It got me into gin in the first place. But this one here changes color when you pour tonic in it. And it goes from indigo to like hot pink. So that is the one when we make gins I feel like that we will be showing off the details of.
18:35
Very nice. That's that's where we're at right now and oh man I was so excited to be like and we're ready for the next drink we should try the peach tea so Devin Crates so are we counting oat milk as food this time or is this still a no food fridge Devin Crates I finished the last of my food today that's a gray area George's fridge for 600 I like it Chaotix.
19:10
I just went to the store, and I picked up a few items. I don't remember putting them in the fridge. I did. Okay, I remember now. I ended up, I was out to get a coffee, because I only slept for about four hours last night. And I'm like, it's cool, we're going to do a late night coffee, a little pick-me-up, it's going to be awesome. And A, that was after the gym. upper body workout, uh, ended up walking over to the liquor store, got way more than I anticipated because they actually had the Washington Apple stuff there, literally couldn't carry it to the car. I had to, like, I picked up the box and he's like, do you need help out with that? I'm like, that's silly. And I made it about six steps. I'm like, nope, can't do it. Is there a cart? I can help you out. No, it's cool. I'm still a guy. I can't do that. Um, and, uh, threw it in a cart, walked it out to my car ended up walking the cart back it was yeah I'm very happy that we don't have push up or pull up redemptions right now I got nothing left anywhere up here let's see your refrigerator by the way surreal is much less impressive yeah my iron fox in particular has been pushing to get me to create a refrigerator cam. Because I'm constantly turning behind me to get beer or something. Although I'm trying to drink less beer for a little while. Okay. See if that helps with the reduced caloric without impacting my ability to get silly.
20:48
I completely understand that. The Cutwater Vodka Mule is my drink of choice. The Vodka Mule is very good Vinnie Blank. I wasn't a fan of the Mojito. Vinnie Blank, that's like my current favorite drink right now. I think I'm moving between different things. So, Surreal, when you say no beer, is that, are you going to mixed drinks? Are you going to like just straight hard alcohol or no alcohol whatsoever?
21:14
Yep. Less mixed drinks because they usually involve sugar. But Sammy just rated. Sammy just rating us with 12 beautiful people Sammy, cheers Sammy just ran in Hello, good evening And now for Leroy Higgins Sammy, how was your evening?
21:37
How was the stream and the question for this evening? The question is Name your favorite Come up with what you think your favorite Jeopardy category would be Like, what would you own? Just completely destroy everyone at Jeopardy! if it was the category that came up.
21:58
Maybe that's a better way to ask it. I asked earlier, like, what was your favorite made-up one, but what's the category that you would, without a doubt, you would win the first one because you slapped hardest, got it right, and then you would just make it all the way down and go for the Daily Double at the 1,000?
22:15
Also, if you're just bringing us... I would pick Leroy Jenkins. I do like Leroy Jenkins. Oh, yes. Random trivia about late 90s boy bands. Sammy Higgins, okay? Okay.
22:32
I get that. I'm trying to think of, do I have anything similar that I got really into in the 90s? This boy band was popular in the 90s. Oh, man, if there was a pun with having to do with this hot boy band was very popular in the 90s, right? Like 98 Degrees or this boy band. Right? Like this boy band had no problems singing together.
23:06
NSYNC or NSYNC. I don't know how you actually pronounce that. Man, I'm kind of having fun with coming up with these questions. If you enjoyed this band, one might call you a blockhead, in that sense.
23:21
I don't actually know that one. What's a blockhead? NKOTV, baby. New Kids on the Block. Okay, it's funny, because I was just about to ask, what was that band from the 80s that was a really popular boy band? Was that the 80s? Oh, my God, I'm old. It was the 80s, right? I want to say it was the 90s. Because that was junior high-ish.
23:47
I don't think it was a junior high in the 80s. Okay. No, it wasn't junior. What? 80s, early 90s, says Sammy. Okay. And Sammy would know that was her category in Jeopardy.
24:05
Just have magic Jeopardy categories about your own life. Citrus things. Hey, welcome. Okay. Yeah. Well, that was supposed to tap that just a little bit.
24:26
Surreal, have you spent much time on Iron Maiden? I haven't spent much time on anything. In fact, at TPN, you probably watched me play more pinball than I have in the last year.
24:40
I need to start getting out again. and there is pinball, I feel like, around the TPF area. Ooh, I snuck it back in there. There is some. Twice. Sometimes it's quite a jog. For the dedicated viewers, you might have seen me on the TPN stream get a whopping 2.5 million on Ghostbusters. I was pretty proud of that. I... It was a heck of a show. Yeah, quite.
25:20
I didn't have my rage button that I really wanted. A rage button? Do you have a rage button? I do have a rage button.
25:30
Is this a... You should stop by sometime, George. Many, many new things have happened. Okay, alright.
25:38
Get over there. Five, four, three... Apparently it is, MidHeart, because I achieved it live in front of, like, a hundred people. It was awesome. Is that possible without tilting?
26:01
It was... Ghostbusters is such a tough game. Hey, I found that right round. I'm not sure you're going to be able to sugarcoat that one. I was attempting to. That was just an awful, awful game.
26:19
So, walking through the... Actually, I'm in a multiball. I'll walk through the rules when we're not in a crazy mode.
26:38
Okay. Get there. Get there. Get there. Get somewhere. Do the thing, game. Oh, wow. That was really bad. Okay. Do the thing. Eat the stuff. And here's your bling. Well, feel the rhythm. Do the thing. Eat the stuff. And here's your bling. I'm never going to forget that. It's going to be like the V for Vendetta speech for me. It is pretty amazing. Didn't the rage button break from overuse, asks Razor? Did it break? I think we have several million more uses out of that particular button, so we're good. Now, I love Ghostbusters, and I put up, I felt like, some really awful games, and also some really enjoyable good games. And what it made me think again is buying Ghostbusters for potentially a fourth time. while I was there. Like, it crossed my mind more than once. And I feel like that is slightly embarrassing. That particular machine was gorgeous.
27:47
Gorgeous! I don't know if that's the norm, but... They're often modded to the extreme. Ghostbusters is maybe one of the... Arthur Pendragon, welcome to the stream. Ghostbusters is maybe one of the most highly modded games ever. I'm guessing it's Tron and then Ghostbusters, or Ghostbusters then Tron. So there's a lot going on. But that one also had the armor, but it didn't have the topper. Topper would have set it over the top. I really like the white armor on that, because that's a color that I've never seen on any other pen.
28:20
I like the white armor. Zach Menny did a hot pink version, so basically think the ooze color on his armor. and I would never what it did was open the idea of pink in that game like just oversaturated amounts of like hot pink and that suddenly became my goal every time I owned that game was to put so much pink on the game and the play field and if I could get the armor which I never made happen I wanted to make happen but I did get a topper and you could set the unique light color combinations for the topper which was always hot pink and pink on the sides with pink light replacements and pink plastics. And it was, I fell in love with pink in that game. Everything needed to be pink.
29:10
Joe Hill's. If you're super dedicated, you can always powder coat your own armor. Yes. Well, I mean, take it to be powder coated unless you've actually got the setup. But my point is, like, you know. No, no.
29:25
In fact, there's a guy, his name is Brian. And he is a big car person, and he owned the, man, I can't remember the car, but he's on the pin side. Huge collector around the Denver area. I've bought and sold a couple pins to him and from him, and he does that on the side. And he does all the cool sparkles and stuff. So I even have a connection if I wanted to go get that done. and why is Ghostbusters specifically modded? Try to Tilt, yep, welcome to the stream. I got to meet Try to Tilt as well at TPF. It's because it's Ghostbusters and it also was Zombie Yeti's first artwork piece, right? And everyone is so familiar with the assets of Ghostbusters and the theme immersion of that game was so top-notch. They had the ability to do and use everything from the movie. So modders got out there and created mods to do the stacked books. And the play field was so colorful, there became mods for artwork on the sides, or you could replace the plastic stuff on the pros with physical, molded, and hand-painted versions of the buildings. There was a Twinkie that you could put in the game that lit up during certain modes. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. that's a big twinkie the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the back which was stationary but lit up there was a mod to make him move back and forth like he was walking only during the Marshmallow Man mode which is the fourth and final mode on the right orbit ladder of modes so there was so many because I think the theme immersion was so great and Zombie Yeti's artwork was so fantastic and it was just a very popular game Sammy Higgins, thank you for not judging but I did really, I considered it a fourth time
31:42
Man Adam says make sure the extra balls are turned on after Esther tried to beat that game with them off as far as we can get.
31:53
No. Well, I need the extra balls in order to get the number of the beast. No, no, no. I definitely need them.
32:04
But I did get the sarcophagus lock there. I think... Do I also get an award? I don't know. Loop jackpot. Go all the way around. Yeah. There's a loop.
32:16
All right, so now we have to hit it again to hit the Pharaoh's Tomb treasure. It's not going to time out.
32:29
Oh, but I timed out the loop jackpot. Don't worry about that. So what we're going to do, Chaotix, I completely understand that love and hate Ghostbusters. It was my first game I ever purchased, which was a premium, and then I bought a pro and sold it, and then I bought another pro and sold it, And both of the times that I bought the pros, I had a bad game on it and said, I'm done. I never want to play this game ever again. And slowly, over six months to a year, built up this, oh my god, I really want to play Ghostbusters again. I'm ready for it, especially with the code update. And then one bad game where I'm just like this. Not a game. It was one bad night where no matter what I did, the game was so brutal and evil and mean to me. After I hit the wizard mode, like the night before, I was just like this. Nope, I don't like it. It's bad for me personally. So you rage quit pin ownership? Yes. That's what you're saying? Yes. Oh my god, yes, absolutely. Are you kidding me?
33:28
A game can make me hate it in moments, and it takes a little bit, I feel like, to make me love it. Oh, but rules on this game. So there are, right now we have to spell Eddie, and you can see that up on the LCD. if I could point in front of you over there. We need two more letters. And to get those letters, we need to hit the white shots, and that fills up the letters. Once we get Eddie, we can start a mode. The modes are here, Ace is High, Fear of the Dark, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Hallow Be Thy Name, and Flight of Icarus. So there's five modes. If you go through five modes, it qualifies you to get to two minutes to midnight. That, if you get to two minutes to midnight, gives you the two minutes to midnight card right here. To get to Battle of the Beast, you have to get all four of these cards. So that's one card you have to get. The next card you can get is, oh my god, Cyborg Multiball. And to get to Cyborg Multiball, you have to hit certain types of shots enough times to complete them. And that's these yellow targets in the middle right here. You have power orbits, power ramps, power pops, power targets, and power spinners. And you hit, let's say, to get power orbits, you have to hit the orbits a certain number of times. That triggers it, and then once it's triggered, you continue playing, but every time you hit an orbit, it counts in. And you can actually see it right up here as it's keeping track. So spinner is lit. I don't think I have that one completed yet, but it's ready to be started. and I need three more ramps to start power ramps, 17 more pops to start pops, and five more to start targets.
35:12
That's how you get the second one. And then the other two are getting a super jackpot in the two main multiballs in the game, which are mummy and mummy, which is this one over there, and then this is trooper.
35:26
And we have lit trooper right now and we're also ready to spell mummy so we can start working towards those multiballs. Yeah, Sammy, it was expensive.
35:37
No question. It was like, get this out of here. I'm ready to move on to a different game and never play this again.
35:42
Yeah, no, no, no. Total child moment. All right, so we got two more shots that were lit white, so we finished spelling Eddie. Alright, that should be second ball lock Right, and I'm going to give this a little power nudge here Let it get this bonus axe there And then we're going to start this multiball Or start the mode, which is Flight of the Icarus And I'm going to let the ball kick out And I'm going to start my multiball There we go. Now we're in trooper multiball. I have to get a certain number of jackpots, which then light super jackpot in this really weird location. And that is the entire game. You'll see I just did it.
36:51
Just going to be patient here for a second. Yeah. So you can see in the middle, I've got the trooper card lit up right now. Oh, it's going to give me that back. Cool.
37:07
Nice staging. Thank you. All right. That is something that I have a real problem with, by the way. It is not easy to stage. Let me tell you. And then Escher has this thing he does where if you have two balls over on the right, he wants you to do a backflip where you flip it up but stage the top flipper so it flips up half the flipper and then put yourself into loop jackpots while maintaining the ball down here and then you have another ball up there It is not easy But now I got four balls over here so how do we separate Well, we do that.
37:48
And we just initiated our... The two-button mod. Sorry, you were saying? I don't know. There we go. We got another super jackpot.
38:11
Woo! Alright, we've got a super jackpot in the middle. And we got that super jackpot over there that is normally a really tough shot.
38:22
I don't know how I found it so many times just then. So what are we going to go for? Let's start this loop jackpot. How about that? I'm going to try and stage the upper left flipper.
38:35
That worked out really, really well for me. Now I'm just going to be patient, let this time out. You can see that we've got an award here on the left ramp.
38:46
So I'm going to hit this left ramp and grab my first award. Oh, totally, totally got there. Also notice these guys are flashing yellow here in the middle now. So now I have initiated, and you can see it up here. I've started all of these. I've completed Spinner. I need four more Orbits, three more Targets, two more Pops, and seven more Ramps to complete all of these. And then I get to Cyborg Multiball.
39:20
So what do I need? I'm going to go for this right Orbit and continue trying to spell Eddie and get into my next mode. I'll have you know I completely um panic flipped right then well don't do that don't don't don't do that don't panic flip I'm gonna try this right orbit again what was that there was a weird sound there Tracy welcome to the stream uh huh All right, let's see if we can hit this while Tracy's working on her audio.
40:05
Oh, no. Okay. All right, loop jackpot is lit. Let's hit this right orbit. It should not be that hard.
40:24
Got it. Now, what do we need? We need to post-transfer. Hey, Marty's here. Oh, my gosh. Is it working? I can hear you. Can you hear me? Hello. Yes. We can hear you. Your audio is coming through wonderfully, by the way. Hi, Tracy.
40:40
Hello. How are y'all doing? Really good. Fantastic. Darn it. But we did hit that super jackpot, everyone.
40:53
Cheers. Game Club Central, welcome to the stream. Thank you. I like my hat, too. I had to go upstairs at the last second. Not overly happy with the hair right now. I just shaved the sides. It's very crazy.
41:10
Game Club Central, coming in with 100 bits. My hat's off to you. Thank you. Also, why am I here? Learning hurts. Dorster, I'm sorry. Game Club Central just recently streamed a battle with Paladin Arcade, and the level of production value that went into it was fantastic. There was so many WWE or WWF-style intros done. It was very well done. So Game Club Central, my hat's off to you. and appreciate the ridiculous effort that went into that setup. All done, sir.
41:56
I saw if you had it a little ghosty. It is a little ghosty. A little ghosty. Have you ultimately recovered from PPF, or are you still working on that? Ah!
42:13
Oh, my gosh. on a new hangover right now. Yes. As a matter of fact. Cheers. Nothing will pop convention hangovers, though, that's for sure. No. My ankles finally went down. They were very swollen from standing around and walking for, like, hours upon hours without sleeping much.
42:36
Yeah, my ankles and feet were ridiculous. Wait, extra ball limit? No extra balls. factory default set to five. We're going to put that back because Escher was trying to get to run to the hills with no extra balls. And I think he got a couple shots away from it, which is not surprising in the least. Get out of here with that. I know, right? Who does that?
43:01
So, Tracy, it was amazing to hang out and see you at TPF. And speaking about TPF, you got to announce at the Twippies. Like, how awesome is that? That was very awesome. but also nerve-wracking. That was, I don't know.
43:19
I don't know. I couldn't see anything. I'm glad the light was so bright. I could not see who the hell was looking at me. You did a great job. Yeah, you did amazing. Taylor and I, seriously, we were like, oh, shit. We got to say it like this. We're like, okay, okay, let's practice. Let's practice. And I was just like, we can do it there. I don't know. I'm going to get too nervous trying to practice this. Let's just do it live. That's what we'll do live. Fuck it, we'll do it live.
43:48
Fix it in post. What did you end up getting there? What was that? A peach? So this is... What just happened? Jeff! Jeff subscribed with Prime Gaming.
44:04
Doesn't... No, I have to back up a little? Nope. I'm not tall enough. Can't do it. You look like... Next one, Beetlejuice, who got the, just turned from the head. With the really tidy head? Just crippled us.
44:21
Chaotix, dropping 100 bits. Hey, we just hit a hype train. Thank you. Jeff, Chaotix, Game Club Central, you're all amazing. Jeff was just on a call with me recently before this. Game Club Central dropping another 100 bits as well. Thank you. I'm going to try this peach tea.
44:42
And Tracy, I'm not sure if you heard what the question of tonight was. I did not hear it. One sec. Okay, peach tea, not carbonated at all. Very surprised. Interesting. Alcoholic ASMR.
45:01
Okay, so when we were at TPS, I got to have decent barbecue, I feel like, for the first time in my entire life. and along with decent barbecue was actually really good sweet tea.
45:14
And I was genuinely surprised because I have never enjoyed sweet tea. This tastes like good sweet tea with a hint of peach.
45:25
It doesn't taste alcoholic in the slightest. Tracy from Outer Spacey dropping 100 bits. This is for all the salty snacks you've left me. Yeah, my hat's off to you. Thank you. I hear the peachy keen monster is killer. I feel like that's a pun.
45:44
Have you ever had, like, the sweet tea flavored vodkas and stuff? Does it taste like that with some, like, peach schnoffs or something?
45:53
Definitely not. Wait, what kind of vodka? Say it again. Like, there's, like, sweet tea vodka. I've never had sweet tea vodka.
46:04
You've got to get yourself an Arnold Palmer. Okay, I've had an Arnold Palmer. But they call it, like, something else, like the drunken Andy Daly or something? Is that his name? I don't know, golf.
46:17
Joe Hills agrees with that. Well, and Joe Hills introduced me to the Sundrop, which is, like, the Tennessee version of Mountain Dew, or maybe it's just the southern version of Mountain Dew. But I'm so sorry. Tracy, continue.
46:31
No, yeah, I mean, that's just basically it, yeah. Sweet tea vodka, you should try it. Okay, I'm in. I am now excited to have more sweet tea. I've never purposefully ordered sweet tea ever, but I was in Texas and like, you know, when in Rome kind of a situation, everybody else is drinking sweet tea. There's got to be a reason so many people like sweet tea. And in one place, it was perfect. And then I ordered another, I went and refilled and it felt like the second one wasn't as sweet as the first one. So I had to put sugar in the second one. And I don't know if that offended the people working there. because I happened to comment on the fact that it wasn't as sweet. Oh, no, that wasn't at the barbecue. That was actually when I was in South Carolina like a month ago. And I was at a really nice restaurant. Yeah, South Carolina ruining the southern sweet tea. Well, that's the thing is they brought it out. I'm at like a fancy in downtown Charleston restaurant. And my brother's like, you have to get the sweet tea. The sweet tea here is incredible. And they brought out a sweet tea. And I'm like, this is really good. I like it. um and then they brought out another one and i'm like it's not as sweet um and uh and then this girl's like hey i happened to notice that you said it wasn't as sweet you know we have sugar it's right here and i'm like where were you and how did you hear me like that i have no idea i was just talking to my brother like whispering and she popped up it's kind of like Conspiration, conspiratorial, how do you speak?
48:04
Conspirators. Yeah, to conspire conspirationally. What's the, conspiratorially? Whatever. Anyway, I was like whispering like, this isn't as good. Kind of like right there. Conspiratorial. Thank you, Joe. That is appreciated. and Joe, welcome to the street. Joe's listening to me fumble and he's like, I can't, I can't, I can't. I got to get in there and fix this. Conspiratorial.
48:32
Yeah, so I've been having computer problems and I was like, I don't want to join the call because if the computer reboots, I'm going to cut out. I'm like, I don't want to seem rude. But then I'm just, I'm like, I know how to say conspiratorial. You're killing me, George. I was, I was stuck. I'm going to, I'm going to blame, I'm going to blame drink number three on that one. Totally. So I'm there and I'm whispering to my brother And I'm like, it's not as good. Should I put more sugar into it? And it was like, do, do, do, do, do. There's sugar right here. Like, her face popped up in between us. Like, how did you hear me? That was very crazy. So I talked badly about their, I talked poorly about their sweet tea, which is kind of interesting because I thought the waitress was a tad into me until I talked badly about their sweet tea at the restaurant. And then she would have nothing to do with me. for the rest of the evening, which is funny because my brother and his wife were commenting constantly about how she was being overly nice to me at the table right up until that moment. So it became the joke for the rest of the night with don't talk bad about the sweet tea. It's more damning in a relationship than talking to someone as an outsider, someone in South Carolina about their southern sweet tea. I know it now yeah okay so I'm not going to do that anymore I know now Joe how much pride I guess do you have in your sweet tea if you happen to be a sweet tea-ish person I am not a sweet tea-ish person although I do have a lot of pride in Sundrop which as I mentioned in the chat you mix that with sweet tea vodka it is the single best drinks in terms of just taste. And I like a lot of drinks. But, like, I had that for the first time. I just kind of mixed it on a whim because I'm like, Sundrop's great with everything. It was designed to cut moonshine back in the day. And if it can make moonshine taste good, you'd be shocked at what it can do for other things that don't taste like varnish. And, um... You're ordering it right now? Well... Ordering it, no. It's funny. You mentioned that because I was at the store looking at vodkas. and I ended up posting a picture of whipped cream vodka to the alcohol channel. It doesn't exist. It doesn't? Well, I have it, and when you mix it with Dr. Pepper, it's great, but Manu, and I explained how amazing this was to Manu, who's in San Francisco, and he says he can't find whipped cream vodka at all in San Francisco. So I thought to myself, I'm like, Joe's describing this sweet tea vodka. I wonder if I have a picture of Sweet Tea Vodka. So is that its own particular brand, or is that a flavor? It's a brand. I usually go with Firefly.
51:28
Sammy is heading out, by the way. I just want to interject real quick. I'm sorry? Sammy, have a great night. Thank you so much for interjecting, surreal. Sammy, thank you so much for that raid as well. And my hat's off to you for the raid. Appreciate it.
51:42
Vertzilla just subscribed. Vertzilla, by the way, loaned me his camera. So before I had all of my stuff stolen, I had agreed to help... Oh, sorry. That audio is actually going on right now. Hold on.
52:00
It's tied into the same thing as the music, and the music I have to turn up at the same time as... I should probably... I have an unused line in. I think I should change it and do computer audio to one channel and then music to a different channel since I'm not using the line in at all. I think that makes the most sense. Technical details, rabbit hole. Anyway, Vertzilla lent me his A6400 because I had already agreed to do a photo shoot for a friend who had just opened up a new massage office, and we were doing head shots and room shots. Thank you. Ty, a.k.a. Vertzilla, a.k.a. Meat Jell-O. It went swimmingly. Oh, hi. That's Ty. Hi, Ty. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Everybody who was at TPF got to hang out with Ty. That was Ty. I've got your backpack right here. And I need to return your camera to you because that was super helpful. And I also... Filled with goodies? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, it's filled with all of his goodies. Yeah. Super helpful. Thank you again, Fertzula. And thank you for throwing me your primer. That is appreciated.
53:14
All right. Headed back over here. Oh, so, Tracy, the question of the night was... Back to alcohol right now. Yeah, yeah, no, no, back to alcohol. So Firefly... That's like a good, like, Deep Eddie is local to us. And they have really good grapefruit flavored vodka. It's called Ruby Red.
53:36
Deep Eddie. yeah okay if you uh if they sell it over there but it's pretty dang good in san francisco like sweet or something for me it's not bad it's i don't know i just the hardest thing so i'm i'm certain at this point i can get sweet tea vodka what i don't think i can get is sundrop i didn't even know it existed i think that's only sold in in southern states because uh it was in every gas station when I was driving through Tennessee and South Carolina and Texas. I have never seen it in Colorado.
54:14
Yeah, it's pretty regional, George. Okay. Isn't the manufacturing plant for that in Pulaski? I'm not sure. There was a bottling place in Tullahoma where I grew up, but I'm not sure where they actually manufactured the syrup because they don't do that in the same place as the bottling facility. in fact the owner is dr pepper national group sure is now sadly what happened oh my god I cannot type sundrop my phone refuses to allow me to type sundrop it keeps wanting to convert it to syndrome it's like I don't know what's wrong with him but it's hard to spell there we go I can order a 12 pack from oh my god a 12-pack on... It's sold mostly in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
55:10
Oh, my God! A 12-pack is $20. From Amazon. Well, I mean, you've got to keep in mind, water weighs about 8 pounds a gallon. So, you know, if you're getting a 12-pack of water with sugar in it, you know, that's not cheap. Hold up, hold up. I mean, I've got to try the greatest thing ever. Oh, that's why I'm looking at my cart. Be a connoisseur, not a consumer. Well, George, you can also try it the next time you're, like, in Death Through Tennessee, right? Because you're going to eventually need to come get your TNA. Oh, well, yeah. My niece is graduating at the end of May, and then the party is a week later in early June. So I've got to go back out to South Carolina then. But we'll see. I may end up flying and bringing Zoe with me because driving out there with Zoe just seems like she won't be able to do 15 hours of driving or 17 hours of driving straight. That would just be me. Arthur and Dragon. Arthur, have a good night.
56:16
Okay. You missed my awful joke, George. What was that? I said you missed my awful joke. I said, isn't she too young to drive? She is too young to drive. well done well done um i want to throw out that my cart was really i'm like wow i just added it to my cart on amazon but it's really expensive two things happening one uh somebody showed me earlier it was jedi mcmuffin that there is an augmented reality mario kart device that utilizes your Nintendo Switch to allow you to drive an RC car, but interact with your AR environment or your environment as though it was Mario Kart. And I kind of lost it and added that to my queue. Also, evidently there's a thing having to do with smelling salts that athletes use to help center themselves. And I thought, what the heck, let's do a smelling salt stream where we get like Ty and Paul Hi, by the way, I'm already saying that you're coming over. Elagos, hi, welcome. In order to do a smelling salt stream where we do like half a stream normal and then we all sniff smelling salts to see if it improves our performance for the second half of the stream. I feel like that should be illegal. Yeah, I'm really dubious about the safety here because, you know, you've got a lot of mingled suppliers coming through Amazon. You don't know. Maybe if you get it through a local GNC, at least you know that it's legitimate stores.
57:51
It causes the purity of your spelling salt. If Amazon Prime is rated very highly, I can't select it. Now you've got me a little worried. I wasn't worried until you mentioned that. I'm not trying to be a naysayer here, but, like, Amazon's inventory mingling processes are a bad thing when you get, like, counterfeit luggage. When you get counterfeit things you put in your nose, that's a different tier of problem. And just, you know, as your friend, I wanted to raise that. Well, first of all, I mean. I mean, because I would pay to see y'all do poppers. I would pay to see, like, a really hilarious three. The Pinball Network rating us with a party of four. Hottie, thank you so much. My hat's off to you. And, Hottie, it was wonderful hanging out with you at TPF last week. Thank you so much. Thank you, sir. Yeah, yeah. Hottie, you're amazing. Also, look at that graphic. Like, if this is not legitimate, somebody put real effort into that.
58:57
Oh, it was Jedi? Yeah, it was a fine job if I ever saw one. Well, it also has, I can't zoom in, but 1,123 reviews at a four-star rating right there. Look at that. Listen, I feel like if you're going to test this, what you need to do is knock each other out and see how well it brings you back.
59:18
So what's funny about this one, it's not just this. It's in a squeeze bottle. So you can squeeze. That's super dangerous.
59:28
So you can squirt ammonium into your nose. You're going to stake that for eye drops, and it's going to be a huge problem. Yeah, I'm going to be honest. No part of this sounds safe to me.
59:42
Jedi also was at TPF, and it turns out Jedi was raiding, not Hottie. Jedi, thank you so much for the raid, and also thank you for hanging out and being one of the coolest people I feel like I have ever interacted with, not only online, but also the few times we've met now in person. Jedi, you're amazing. Thank you again. Jedi was great. I will second that wholeheartedly. It was really fantastic to hang out.
60:12
Really quick, how to use. Twist the lid, bring six inches from your nose, and sniff. The harder you squeeze, the stronger the smell. How is this not, like, perfectly legitimate? I feel like we're good here. how? How, like, anyone could say, here, just squeeze a bottle.
60:33
I'll take terrible stream ideas for $300, Alex. I would like to point out, RazorRandon made the point that this is a perfect example of survivorship bias. The only people who leave reviews are the ones who don't die while trying. That's true.
60:49
That's a good point. It's safe for bots, so it's safe for you. There we go. order placed. We don't have all of this by Wednesday. What do you think? TPN stream on Thursday? Get Paul and Ty to come over here and accept this with me? I think maybe next week we're going to know what a egg white slash sundrop slash smelling salt cocktail Yeah, this is going to be like, you're going to start out with some John Daly's, like the alcoholic sweet tea vodka mixed with the lemonade or lemon flavored vodka. Yeah. With like a splash of soda water or a tonic or something. And then you're going to do poppers, right? Oh, sorry. Why do you keep calling it poppers? I'm not calling it poppers. No, poppers are something completely different. What's a popper? Like all I can think of is a jalapeno popper, but you keep throwing it out like it's an industry term for something. It's basically huffing paint for grownups. Oh. Yeah. It's a very, very strong nail polish remover, like K-Ted cleaner. Basically, it's very prominent in the gay community amongst men to loosen themselves up to prepare for, you know, an expiration.
62:18
Okay. But people do it just to get, like, a head high because it makes you really, like, woozy. Sorry, and to confirm, what was it that they were sniffing? poppers. It's just called poppers. But, like, what's the chemical that they're sniffing? It's amyl nitrate, is what it is.
62:37
It is. Poppers are drugs. Okay, higher peanuts. Confirming that it is most definitely a drug. So, you know, for Twitch reasons, we're going to say that drugs are bad, okay?
62:50
Okay, yeah. Okay. But, yeah, you know, you should make yourself some jalapeno poppers every little while.
62:59
Am I the only person that was thinking jalapeno poppers that entire time that you were talking about poppers?
63:08
I mean, that was just adorable. I love it. Razor-rated cheese. Ammo. Got it. Ammo. Okay. And by the way, who do we have? Ask Jedi McMuffin. We have Joe Hills, Tracy from Outer Spacey, and Surreal underscore seven on the stream tonight. You guys, they are... Third billing. Well, I'll go the other direction the next time through. No, no, no. It's fine. No, no, no. But I'm going to do it right now. So if you want to follow everyone here who is just amazing on stream, check out twitch.tv slash Surreal underscore seven. If I could type it, I would right now. Nice. Thank you. It's surreal. Also, check out Tracy from Outer Spacey, which is funny because I always mispronounce... I always thought it was Outer Spacey Tracy. And I'm sorry, but it is Tracy from Outer Spacey. And then twitch.tv slash Joe Hills. Also, it's basically Joe Hills on the internet. Just type in Joe Hills, and you will find him on Twitter, on YouTube, on everything besides Facebook. I think there's Joe. George, I think your shout-outs are stuck. What's wrong with them? Well, one of them worked, and then nothing after.
64:32
Oh, you got a... Oh, interesting. Do exclamation point shout-out. I don't know why the SO actually worked. I don't think I have it programmed.
64:43
Well, okay. I got nothing. Interesting. Right. I'm not so sure if I can do it because I don't think I'm a mod.
64:59
I Ski-Doo was not invited. Hashtag sad face. I Ski-Doo. Man, that is actually a really good point. I don't... I have... I got to get you invited. I got to add you to the group.
65:19
Would you like me to do that? Do you mind, for real? Well, sort of, but I'll do it anyway. Is it just the personality?
65:30
No, not at all. Okay, where... Wait a minute. I just realized how much I hate Discord. Again. No ice skidoos in here somewhere.
65:48
Oh, no. got it all right so we got our first soul shard there we go four i don't know like nine million and change by the way when you complete a mode you're given the opportunity to get a soul shard and the soul shard can be multiplied for some reason. I have no idea how it gets multiplied. But when we were walking through the rule set on this, we actually completed Fear of the Dark.
66:30
I feel like Outer Spacey Tracy, you are the kind of person who would understand or know what makes... what multiplies a soul shard, because that's where the points are in this game. Have a good night. Hi, Higher Peanut.
66:47
Hi, Higher Peanut. And goodbye, Higher Peanut. To be honest, I don't play Iron Maiden quite as much as I should. Is it maybe something to do with combos?
67:01
I'm not sure. With combos? Okay, I like that. I'm not sure. Higher Peanut's got a playfield multi-effect soul shard. Okay. Oh, so you're just going to say multi-effect. Okay, there we go.
67:14
Go for your playfield then. There you go. I don't know how to do something more complicated. Oh, no, yeah, you're definitely in. Hi, Ice-Kidoo. Welcome, Ice-Kidoo. Howdy, Ice-Kidoo. So all I can do is hear you now.
67:30
Because I don't have it on my TV anymore. Because I was testing for my iPhone. Oh. Yeah, that's what you have to do, basically. Ah.
67:42
Yeah, plus I'm on my new computer, so I don't have Discord set up yet. I should probably do that. Hey, congratulations on the new computer. I don't know if I actually said that, but... Yeah, thanks. I found it in this truck in the Texas Kid Ball Festival parking lot.
67:59
Along with a bunch of cool camera equipment. Oh, wow, that was mean. Right there with the dude again. Terrible.
68:08
Nicely done. I, too, also have a new laptop on the way. Yeah. I do. Oh, man. I mentioned it on stream. Yeah.
68:29
That's not indicative of our state. Just indicative of our species. Okay. That's actually, I need to remember that state now.
68:46
Well, I have an alibi. That was a meme. All good. There it goes. If someone would trade you for a premium,
69:09
would you get rid of this? Would you get rid of the pro? Oh, this is the LE. Wait, that's the LE? Yes.
69:18
I am so sorry. I have you on the lowest possible resolution. All good. No, no, no. So... By looking at the money that it was not. This is... Oh, by the way, Hans actually gave us some information about, I think, about the multipliers, which I'll come back to in just a second. But this is a temp trade with Man Adams, who has my Godzilla LE right now. So I'm hoping to get to Battle of the Beasts. That's my goal while I have this. I mean, as you guys are watching right now, this right out lane is just evil. Both out lanes are fairly evil. So I don't know that we're going to make significant progress this evening towards that. But that's the goal over the next probably month or so. I don't know how long I've had it. and how soon Matt Adams is hoping to get it back. I know that he was selling it, and in a perfect world, I really want this game. Iron Maiden is gorgeous. The LE is fantastic. And this game's left ramp is the sweetest shot through the pops I think I've ever... Like, it's so easy to find and hit.
70:35
So, like, I want this specific version, and I feel like it's just the LE that does that. so to answer your question uh outer spacey tracy or tracy from outer spacey darn it see i did it right there uh from tracy but outer tracy from outer spacey is so fun it rhymes it's great it has association with like the galaxy and stars and things like that it's a great name it rolls off the tongue quite well.
71:08
Um, but, I don't actually remember what I was talking about just then. Left ramp. Very nice. Oh! Yep, through the pop. It's very fun. Nope. I had something, like, super important I wanted to say.
71:28
Gone. Nothing. Squirrel. It's fine, we'll come back to it. I want the theme. It's one of your favorites. Do you want to own it? I do want to own it. What's on your trade?
71:38
Oh, I don't know about a perma-trade. You're a fail-poster to this machine. That was mean, game. It's fun, it's great. I still have Hans' comment to go over. Got it. So the hurry-up value starts at 20% of the points you earned in the mode. The collect value can be multiplied 2x or 3x based on where it hits the bullseye target, And this stacks on top of the 2x or 3x playfield multiplier to make 4x, 6x, or 9x collects possible. Oh, it's multiplied. Okay.
72:11
Uncle Ridge. Right, yeah, that makes sense. Sounds lucrative. Ooh, you know, that was great. Speaking of TNA from like, you know, 10 minutes ago How is TNA treating you, Joe Hills? I am really enjoying it, George Thank you so much again for renting that to us My daughter and I, we try and play it Usually it'll be like I put something in the oven You know, or I start the rice cooker or something So, you know, we got something, get ready for dinner We'll stand around and play a few co-op mode games And then I might play a few games to wind down at the end of the night or between tasks during the day.
72:58
But yeah, she's getting really good at it. I'm getting slightly better. So, nice. It's bad. It's just a fun game, though.
73:07
Oh, yeah. So, at TPF, there was obviously a lot of opportunity to hang out with Scott Dinesi, who was, like, mixing crazy music, and he was just everywhere. And it was super easy to run into him in chat. and he's just so personable and such a fun guy to hang out with. I brought up that he's like the greatest dude. And I brought up that you had my TNA, and he got kind of like giddy that you had TNA. He was so excited. He's like, I got to call Joe. So, at some point, my guess is that Scott's going to hit you up.
73:56
Yeah, you know, I was thinking at some point, once I get good at it, like, it'd be great to be able to, like, have him call in for a stream or something if he was available. Because I also know he's super busy, you know. Oh, yeah. But, like, I kind of need to get to the point where that's the sort of thing that would draw a pinball audience and not just, like, my normal viewers, right? Right. I need to not be embarrassingly naive at the table, let's say. Right? You know, before, that's kind of a few months in thing, not a month one thing. Yeah. I got to agree with Tracy here.
74:33
I think you're fine. You're personable. You have fun. You have to play the table than the creator of the table.
74:43
I don't know. You know, and this is a constant flaw of mine. and I'm trying to be better about this, but there's a lot of things where I'm like, yeah, I want to do this right, but I'm not ready to do it right, so I'm just going to postpone it. Oh yeah, no, I know that. I know that's a perfectionist thing to do. Everyone calls me a perfectionist. I was like, how am I a perfectionist? I haven't done anything done. Like, what are you talking about? Yeah I constantly doing the best I can with what I have in front of me which is not the same thing as being a perfectionist I basically continuously min and iterating things but I not like almost nothing I do I consider actually like finished I'm like, oh, I could have spent 12 more hours on that, but you know what, it's finished because I got stuff to do. Let's keep going through the hopper, you know? Right.
75:30
That's the, uh, your insurance stopped paying, so I guess you're cured. Oh, yeah. Can you guys hear me better now? I just switched to my phone.
75:44
We can hear you now. Just a little bit. Oh, wow. Well, I was going to say, though, George, looking at the clock, it's almost 1 a.m. here, and I've got to wake up early to get my kid to school tomorrow. But thank you so much for having me, as always. This was a fantastic time. Oh, my gosh. Joe, thank you so much for hanging out. oh always and uh yeah thanks to everybody else for hanging out too it was great seeing y'all have a good night see you thanks for hanging out man I want to see a kiss like TNA thank you I'm sorry say that again I want to see a kiss like TNA thank you Yeah, I don't know if Joe... Yeah, I don't think so.
76:43
It's good to keep children off the internet, that's for sure. Exactly. I know that Twitter is basically built around that.
76:52
Yeah. When in doubt, yes, do not put your children on the internet. It's funny because Zoe has, like, her stream name picked out, and she talks about it all the time. She's like, when can I get on stream with you? And I'm like, when you're 18. Yeah, exactly.
77:13
When you're 18. I'm sorry, what did you say, Ice Ski Dude? I was just copying what he said, and it's funny. yeah did you buy some new camera equipment or are you just using stuff that you already have so using stuff I already had for right now it's funny because I just won what I thought about doing for the playfield camera was switching to the ZV-1 from Sony but the ZV-10 allows you to swap out lenses so there's some flexibility there but I'm trying to decide what face cam to get right now and it's funny because maybe had a couple of drinks and did one of those like, you know what, I know what it is I want to do. I want to, I want to, I want to start working on maybe more, you know, fun commercials or movies or YouTube stuff. And there's a camera that's been on the dream, on the dream list for a while. I should just make that happen. And I sat there, I don't know for how long, like in bed with it in the cart ready to just hit the ready to hit the purchase and it's still in my cart right now and what's funny is the site i'm using bnh video um continues emailing me every day like hey you left this in your cart you know i hate that and and and it's getting to me man it's it's making me think for a second like how committed am i am i am i committed enough that long enough they'll give you a 10% off discount.
78:46
And you usually drop your money on that sundrop, though. That's true. You want to be sniffing salt and smelling salt. Yeah.
78:58
I mean, you need to save up for that inevitable lawsuit that's about to happen. Yeah, right. And the lawsuit being suing my insurance company for not paying me And so what my insurance company is telling me right now is that because I have made money using my camera on Twitch, or my equipment on Twitch, that it has become a business. And by definition, then, I should have had business insurance, and they don't want to pay for any of my equipment.
79:36
But you use it for fun as well. not only that, I by every definition, like legal definition as fun as this is and as much as it is super appreciated what everybody does with like tips and subs it is still by technical definition of the tax laws a hobby so it's a hobby it is not a business so the movement only is turning on every little a piece of paper on that apron.
80:12
This is an abysmal position for your insurance company to be taking on that. Yep. That's awful. We probably inadvertently gave them that out by mentioning everything about footage. Oh, yeah. It's funny, too, because the lady let me know ahead of time that I was recording, and it was very personable. She was very nice, and she asked, you know, so what are you using the camera? Oh, you were at a pinball festival. That's great. You know, a lot of these pinball people are on Twitch. And I'm like, that's crazy. I'm totally on Twitch and, you know, that's why I brought the equipment.
80:50
No. I watch pinball streams on Twitch. You must be one of them. He's just trained to get out of pain. Yeah, yeah. No, and she just asks questions and I'm I am the kind of person who just answers the questions. I'm like, oh my God, this is great. She had questions about Twitch. Well, how does that work? And the difference between Twitch and YouTube. And I'm like, this is great. And then it changed into a conversation about like on Twitch. Well, why would you go with Twitch? Oh, there's subs. Oh, interesting. So there's money. Oh, well, okay. To let you know, because there's money involved in this, we actually can't pay you back for the loss of the equipment. I'm like, are you kidding me? Did that just happen to me right now by my insurance company? And she started it off with like, oh my God, you've been a customer for seven years and you have car insurance, home insurance, renter's insurance. You have like all of these. You do everything through us. That's amazing. We're so happy to have you as a client. That's amazing. Thank you for giving me all your money. You're such a good client. Yeah, exactly. I want to be back.
81:57
You're a movie name, right? How insurance companies be of them? We love that you pay all of your premiums every month. You want to do what now? You want to do a claim? Wait a minute. No. Yeah, why is your insurance company paying for your cameras? Oh, yeah, hey, Game Time Television. So somebody broke into my car on Sunday after TPF and took all of my camera equipment, my Edelkrone mounting equipment, and my laptop out of my car. Kind of sucked. Why I ended a business? We got W-2s and stuff. It was just a hobby. We wouldn't affiliate. Yeah, it's still, so technically by the definition of the current tax laws, if the amount of money you make is under, it's like 2% or 3% of your total salary or total income, It's a hobby by definition, which is interesting because they change. And it's got to change, right? Oh, yeah, yeah.
83:00
There's no way in hell you make it. I mean, you're popular, and you're doing great, George, but I feel like Twitch is really not, you can't really live off of that. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, exactly. So this is not eight pinball machine money is what you're saying. if that's and if you remember uh Manu and I did a stream right where uh and we've done the second string silver balls and uh silver second string silver ball and and a lot of it is the the tech but we did I think episode five or six what we did is we took a step back and said okay if you're going to stream pinball especially it was at the beginning of COVID why would you stream pinball and if it's for any if it's for monetary success don't like if you're also trying to feel good about yourself as a streamer you know don't because pinball's not it pinball is ranked right now i think somewhere between 1100 and 1200 in terms of categories on twitch it is not a popular category if what you're looking for is some level of monetary or Twitch level success, don't choose pinball. If what you want to do is interact with chat and have a good time and do something online that allows you to engage with other people, man, pinball couldn't be better. The community in pinball is fantastic.
84:33
It's so, they're engaging, they're interested, they want to know more. And if you don't happen to be a great pinball player, but you can chat and engage with other people, man, they're right there with you. Because not everybody is Escher-level playing quality, right? Like, I would say the overwhelming majority of us is like, I might hit a wizard mode once a year or a couple times a year, not every single time I play pinball. So it's really easy to sympathize, I feel like, with the average pinball player who enjoys just talking about the sport of pinball or whatever that happens to be kind of popular or the zeitgeist or whatever it is that you want to chat about at the time. But it is definitely not success in any monetary success with pinball.
85:28
I'm catching up here. Sorry. And it's Game Time Television. Thank you. My lifetime earnings is $16 at Jedi. Jedi, who, by the way, has... I would argue some of the highest quality.
85:43
Game Club Central, thank you. And Game Club Central vows to change that. And awesome. More power to you if you can. But Jedi, just throwing that out there, my lifetime earnings is $16. Jedi and I basically had all the same equipment. So I know the investment of money into it in order to provide the quality that Jedi provides in every single one of his streams. And it's basically, you're never getting that back. You're doing it because you're interested in the tech or you're interested in the streaming or interested in providing the best image possible to people as you're streaming and you can geek out about the tech and you can test things out and really get in there. And Joe Hills earlier mentioned the concept of min-maxing. That is, I feel like, one of the key components to anyone who's into tech is, how can I take this cool tech and make it better, either at low cost or what happens, think of it as, oh my god, Tim the Toolman Taylor from Home Improvement. How do I take this really cool piece of hardware and turn it up to 11? Like, what's the absolute max possible you can do? and that I feel like is that's worth celebrating and that's what makes it kind of fun it's not the nobody in pinball with the exception of deadflip and by the way now Carl from IE pinball is besides those two there's nobody else he had a partner? oh yeah he had a partner like during TPF huge congrats to Carl by the way because man that is so freaking amazing and he has been doing it doing it consistently amazing engagement with uh the audience the quality you guys know is there and he is he is one of those great great players yeah he's just fantastic so i don't even know what i'm talking about anymore or why we're talking about things jedi i have no idea what you're talking about it's not like i didn't just play for 90 minutes with a with an 11 second average ball time i'm a professional damn it ellie goes what up game central hey you're number four in my book jedi i think i'm at the four grand mark all in including gear swaps upgrades and whatnot el rocco welcome to the stream jedi that's no joke just think about that for a second maybe max amount paid out by twitch at 16 dollars and total gear spent in order to provide a high-quality stream at the four grand mark?
88:29
See, I take, like, what would be maybe, like, a negative five, and I bring it to maybe, like, a three. That's what I do. Like, I had, like, stands, so I would pile boxes on top of each other and, like, stick holes in them to, like, support.
88:44
It looked really bad. But, I mean, with my 11-year-old computer, I managed to get some stuff done.
88:56
It's... I'm trying to think right now. I can't think of it. Tracy, when was the last time you streamed? It's been a hot second. It has been a hot second. A little bit of virtual pinball, but... Were you also doing the... You were playing Ori, I think, recently, right? I played Ori and I played... Oh, God. There's this one game that was really cool, or still Escape I think it was called? I don't know.
89:26
Where this guy, I don't know, walks around and drums on the guitar and flies around and stuff. It was really great. Oh, I think I played that actually. Yeah. It sucked for that game though because there's a character that mentions pinball and they're like, this is all really fun. You mention it briefly, you're like, oh, sure, we're going to take him all in there somehow. And I'm like, how dare you set me up for a place I hope only to crush it like that.
89:58
It's all really pretty and sounds and looks cool and whatever, but... Oh, get out of here, Game Time Television. Get out of here. Okay, now that I understand the context of the inference... I love you, Rocco. Hi. no game time television because i stream on twitch and there has been income they've explained it as they uh by by their definition it's a business and i should have had business insurance on my equipment as opposed to utilizing uh or or thinking that my homeowner's insurance would have, would have covered it. I think like yesterday's baby, I'm sorry, George. Like I said, it's honestly, it's, uh, it was, what's crazy about that is it's not maybe for about a day. I was like, do I really want to reinvest it? And at the end of the next day, I'm like, not stopping me. I'm doing it again. And I think I'm, I'm stepping it up. And if it helps, the amount of money that, uh, that Jedi mentioned, uh, I, uh, the, the, the amount that they would not reimburse me for was, was an exponent of that, was exponential. That's how expensive streaming can get. So it has, it's obviously all in the hobby.
91:36
It's still not a business, exactly. Exactly. You should ask the girl on the phone how many business insurance accounts they have for Twitch streaming.
91:48
Right? And that's why I say I'm going, I very likely am going to end up pursuing my insurance because it's worth it good for you I hope some are worth that because insurance companies are no matter what I'll feel better about the situation I'm sure if you had business insurance they'd be like oh I'm sorry that's just a personal hobby yeah exactly No, Jedi, I'm saying that the amount that I submitted to the insurance was an exponential amount from that.
92:39
A lot of sweet-sweet vodkas. Exactly. It's so funny. I feel like I play so much better when I'm not really paying attention and I'm just talking.
93:03
I have that exact same phenomenon happen on my stream, too. When I'm explaining something, I just totally zone out and the game just takes care of itself. Are you done with the game, George? Are you feeling the flow? Are you watching again?
93:27
No! No, especially not now that we're talking about it. We turned that multi-wall into a one-way play. It was going great. I just converted it, yeah.
93:44
So, yeah, exactly. It was... Oh, yeah, look at that left ramp. That was very nice. All right, so we have Mummy prepped.
94:06
Let's see if we can hit this right ramp. Oh, no. Okay, we didn't hit Mummy. We did not hit Mummy. Oof, one shot.
94:20
Ah, it could have gone better. What I didn't want to do is hit the mummy target and start mummy before we had a mode ready to go. So now we're going Flight of the Icarus.
94:34
You're definitely not a child. You know to bring modes with multiple balls, right? Exactly. Come on.
94:42
I am not a child. I lost it all that was the biggest heartbreak because I had to tell Zoe that all of the recordings that we did for the internet series was still on the SD card in the camera that was taken oh no what a bummer I was hoping to at least get the like you know the memory and stuff back maybe not the actual hardware but yeah that sucks and honestly that's kind of the funny thing was Zoe gave me the go ahead she told me last night as we were going to bed she goes I'm sorry that we've lost everything we can do it again but you have to buy another camera that's good motivation exactly i mean maybe that would help your case with insurance coming to you these are our memory is lost can you put a price on that is that is that business to your buddy try to tilt uh who hit me up by the way try to tilt i'm so sorry i didn't get back to you i Remember reading it and totally spaced getting back to you. You were looking for some details on the slider as to what direction to go.
96:19
Okay, I think I'm going to head out, by the way. I'm going to zone out to some Walt's television shows and whatnot. Tracy, thank you so much for hanging out. Thank you. thank you for letting me out and thank you for existing and thank you for giving us hobbies and sharing your hobbies with us on this website where we celebrate our hobbies good night well played Time expires.
97:04
I don't have much time. Five, four, three. Right ran. Got it. Oh, my God. to shine. You gotta carry the show.
97:31
It's okay, we're in big trumps. Hey, Sir Star, Queen Dark Lady, welcome to the stream. If you guys are just joining us, we have Stereel and iSkidoo in the stream here. Tracy just left, Joe Hill's left about a half hour ago. And what time is it? Oh, wow, it is well after 12 o'clock. Oh, that's right. I started at 1030. We're good. We got 15 more minutes. So, ah, I completely spaced asking Tracy the question. So this has got to go to iSkidoo. iSkidoo, imagine you were in Jeopardy. What, hold on, what, um, what category in Jeopardy, if it was announced, would you, would you completely destroy and just own? The Penis Mightier, Alex.
98:28
I feel like that came up a few different times. I'll be in movie quotes. I'd be down for that. That's pretty good. Yep.
98:55
I should just do a... Oh, maybe that's the game that we need to implement here on the stream at some point. It's named this movie.
99:07
Oh, interesting. Just for the series of quotes. Okay. Huh. What's that date that said exists someplace? but is it the actual quotes from the movies because i feel like that's that's a whole different animal no but well yeah that's what i'm thinking like eventually it could be a uh who can who can name the movie that this quote is from okay because another fun part of that would be like we have to come up with the quotes, right?
99:46
Sure, we could do it both ways. Margot Pinball had a catalytic converter. Oh, that makes sense. Sorry, what was that about a catalytic converter?
100:17
Margot Pinball mentioned in the chat that he was sorry for your loss. Oh, thank you. He had a catalytic converter stolen. Oh, that's interesting. I was just reading about that today, that the catalytic converters, because they're made from precious metals, are... Yeah.
100:41
You don't have much time. All right, so we've got super jackpot lit. We've got to hit it. I don't know the easiest way to hit it right now.
100:55
What's the shot? So it's this shot right there is what I have to hit. It's up there. There's a target all the way back there. Mmm.
101:06
Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, Sonora. I need to get more time on this game, I don't really have very many games on it.
101:22
Okay. Well I tried! I do not you know um so I don't stream on a laptop anymore oh that was mean because once I got a PCI Express card that did four HDMI captures and never had to deal with, like, USB overload issues and that issue where if something happens, you've got to unplug and replug it or deactivate and reactivate, none of that exists with the PCI Express. But you lose some of the mobility there, obviously. But with a PCI Express, like, if you are outputting a signal from a device and it is plugged in, it will always work. And it's mind-blowing what that does for reliability of the stream.
102:32
Yep. And Fliptronic and Flipstream both use Thunderbolt docks. Yep. I'm positive that Fliptronic uses a Thunderbolt dock.
102:42
Sir Snarf, thank you. Really hope the insurance will hop out. So effing effed up. Appreciate it. Rock solid. Yeah. Test Bishop. It's fairly rock solid. All right. We're going to get there this time. This might be the last game of the stream. We have 13 minutes. Ice Ski-Doo, are you drinking anything right now?
103:05
No, just Diet Root Beer. Okay, Diet Root Beer it is. I'm going to have... Now is it Root Beer or Root Beer?
103:14
I call it Root. Okay, that is like three or four roots. I call it Root Beer. Really? I do. It was just funny because I hear myself say it and I'm like, don't call it root beer. That sounds awful. But that's how I grew up, calling it root beer. So like root beer, I like the sound of it better, but root beer is what comes out when I'm just saying root beer.
103:41
Okay, so if you have one of those trees underneath the ground, the things that spread out from the tree are called? Roots. No question. They're called roots. Interesting. Yeah. No, no, no.
103:58
We'll call it Birch Beer. It'll be safe. Up and around. Jedi McBuffin apparently is used to calling it Birch Beer from his childhood. Whoa! Birch Beer? Oh, Philly cheesesteak sounds pretty good right now.
104:33
Oh my god. I didn't realize it was different. What is the difference? Oh, it is an entirely different. Okay.
104:42
I thought those two different names were the same thing. Yeah, I kind of assumed it was the same thing.
104:49
I will not. You will die. Jedi, I was just watching your VOD. Love that 30-minute close-up of your beautiful face.
105:02
What? I'm intrigued. Are we talking about extreme close-up material? If it was the one that he just did, he did a close-up to show me the connectors in his back box, and then he forgot to put it back. That was only like five or six minutes. Maybe he's talking about a difference.
105:32
I don't know. Five or six minutes live is a very long time. He says it's like seven minutes. I forgot to switch the scene back.
105:45
Ah, okay. I really want to hit this advanced revive. Right there, there it is. Found it, found it. It's the tip of the flipper.
105:59
Arr. Eww. I'm trying to think. If I was to choose the Jeopardy category, I would have to go science fiction and fantasy novels. I think that's where I would have the greatest opportunity to succeed without getting too specific. Like, if it was Jim Butcher novels, I'd own. No question. Between the number of times I've reread the Dresden Files and the Codex Alera, like, that, I'd kill it.
106:43
Trust me for sure. No question. so that's what I'm going with is my answer let's go science fiction and fantasy got the underworld let's see birch beer is made from birch but root beer is made from sassafras good to know
107:17
I like birches and wood for wood purposes. Man, that was the add-a-ball right there. Evidently, I missed it.
107:44
Could not, couldn't get there. So are you considering buying another one of those sliding camera rigs, or are you going to forego that? So I think no. But what I think I'm going to do is upgrade my camera. so no more sliding rig or if I did maybe downgrade and not do quite the setup I had before but end up going with a much better camera and what I was looking at was the Sony FX6 which is not going to do much honestly for streaming but it will allow me to do a lot more with, like, fun little side projects, like I was doing with Zoe.
108:54
You mean your side business? Not a business, a fun hobby. Where it's funny because I asked Zoe, so Zoe and I sat down and we did, we watched Bluey, and after every episode of Bluey, I asked her to tell me what the moral was, and what did the episode do to teach the moral. And it was great, because it made her think about how Bluey was written and produced. Like, well, why did they do this and that? Oh, well, they set it up where the dad was the one in this episode who was struggling with a moral, and then he had to teach it to his kids, but he learned something about it afterwards. It was really cool. So, uh, that, that's where we went with this kind of like web series that she wants to make about her, about Hug. And she actually, I'm like, okay, so what are we going to do? Let's write up a scene. And she wrote it the first time through with, you know, like Hug is the hero. And I'm like, okay, but how is Hug the hero? What's the problem? What's the problem in the scene? And how are you going to show that, that, uh, that what's the moral you want to show? And you have to show somebody failing at that moral and then show how they can overcome it afterwards. Like, there was all these different things, and it was really cool to see her thinking about how to set it up that way. And we ended up recording, it was probably about two or three hours of recording with her and Hug, and that's some of the stuff we ended up losing out on. Dr. Curly's like, yeah, Bluey is amazing. Which is funny, because I think Jedi actually got me into Bluey. If I remember correctly. And then, uh, and then set me up with, with access to multiple seasons of Bluey, which has just been fantastic. Season three, to this day, Unicourse for the win, which is what I posted. Uh, I posted it to Facebook, uh, recently. Like the, the Unicourse episode is, is just so great. Um, are, are, are either of you guys familiar with, uh, with Bluey, the television show?
111:06
I am not. I haven't heard of it for a long time. Now, you do. I feel like you have kids, but yours are older. Is that right?
111:20
No, no kids. No kids. Okay. Sorry. I misremembered that. Surreal, I know you have kids. How old are yours?
111:31
My son is 12, and my stepdaughter is 20. Okay, yeah, so you're a little past the bluey range, but it's a very cool show. Australian, and it is definitely made for...
111:54
Maybe the best way to say it, like... I don't know. Nope, maybe even earlier. four to probably twelve year olds The Living Arcade Thank you! The Living Arcade Welcome to the stream My hat's off to you. Thank you so much for rating us and for bringing five beautiful people over here Hollywood Polo How am I doing? I'm doing great Having so far a great week which is interesting because in my job I had one day this week that was not filled with meetings. And it got filled with meetings anyways, but a different type of meeting So for the next four days I am in what called a summit From 8 o in the morning until 4 in the afternoon it is eight to 4 8 and a half hours of meetings So it 8 hours of meetings with a half hour lunch Is what that is for the next 4 days. Huh?
112:58
Pass. Oh yeah, exactly. It may sound great but I am a development lead for back end services. Which means I am stuck, being super involved. OldSnake333, thank you so much for that follow. That's what heroes do, and that's appreciated. Thank you. My Hair is off to you. The Living Arcade, how was your stream? What did you stream? And the question of tonight is, what category in Jeopardy would you own slash destroy? What's that category for you? Bluey is made for all ages, perfectly viewable. Oh my God. Dr. Curly Tech, by the way, that's what's so great. Uh, amazing television shows target not only their main audience, right? But they also target adults. And there's some amazing humor in some wonderful television shows that are meant for kids, but have humor that goes over their heads, right? So I wouldn't recommend Bluey to teenagers or early 20 somethings, but if you're a parent and you could be an early 20-something or a teenager and still be a parent, but, and, and at that case, this is for you, right? But parents will love Bluey because there's morals that get taught to the kids, but there's humor and, like, weird levels of, of empathy and sympathy that the main characters have, where they're just, like, sighing at one point. Oftentimes, they get into situations where the parents in Bluey have to be like, no, no, no, your turn to go upstairs and put the kids back to bed kind of things, right? Like, it's just standard operating procedures for being a parent, be it in a couple or single, there are going to be moments for everybody, regardless of your parenting type and style, where you are going to be able to feel like someone else is empathizing with your, sorry, sympathizing in this case with being a parent. And it's awesome. And, of course, there's the occasional fun references to things like Indiana Jones, especially with the No Ticket episode. Unicorps was just hilarious in general, in my opinion. I don't even think Unicorps had a moral. I don't think it had anything positive in it. It was just fun.
115:21
But there's Bluey. I would also say Kipo and the Wonder Beasts. Avatar, The Last Airbender, that television series was really good, plus the follow-up.
115:33
And The Dragon Prince is another really good one. And I know I catch flack for it, but I don't even care.
115:41
My Little Pony and The Magic of Her Friendship is Magic is, without a doubt, some of the best written comedy and morals for kids. that also transcends, or with humor that they will never get, that you will absolutely love as a parent. There was an entire episode where every moment of it was a reference or a throwback or something having to do with Indiana Jones. That also had, also they have guest stars. So this one had, who's the actor who does Happy, the television show on Netflix that voices Happy? The figment of the main character's imagination. Do either of you guys know?
116:32
Is it Ricky Gervais? Nope, it wasn't Ricky Gervais, but another similar character with a really unique voice.
116:42
I can't think of his name. at all. Let me ask Lord Google. Hey, Lord Google. Is this the show again? Uh, and so, the cartoon I'm referencing is My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, and there is an episode in, there's nine seasons, and it ends so wonderfully as well. Like, there is so much, Patton Oswalt, thank you! Thank you! Yes! Dr. Curly Peck for being right there with me, but there is an episode with Patton Oswalt, and they bring back that character a couple more times. He's amazing. Patton Oswalt is amazing. I love him for it. But the character he played was a person who was a bit of a skeptic when it comes to book series versus the movies. And it's a reference to Indiana Jones, but somebody loving the books as opposed to the movie interpretation of Indiana Jones. And it made fun of so many different things that Zoe never understood as she was watching it, but I could not stop laughing. And there was another episode that was all about Dungeons and Dragons with the Lord of Chaos, A, voiced by O. Is it O from Star Trek? Was that a U, T, what was the one? Q? What was it? Q! Yes, There you go. Queen Dark Lady. Appreciate it. I never got into Star Trek. It's the guy who voices Q from Star Trek who plays the Lord of Chaos in My Little Pony. And the voice could not be more perfect. And his character could not be more perfect. And there's a guy's night where the main six go off and battle some creature. You don't get to hear about it. And the guy's night turns out to be D&D. They call it something else. And, um, and the Lord of Chaos is like, this is stupid. We could go do anything we want to. Here, let's just, like, randomly go someplace else. And he uses his random magic to take them someplace, and they're all dressed up cool, and they're going out, and they're like, no, no, no, we just want to play D&D. And the whole episode is, is, is, is interesting because, for reasons all across the board, but it teaches the kids that sometimes you need to branch out and try new things, right? Like, which is great. And if you've ever had kids and they don't want to eat certain foods or they don't want to try something because it's something new, you get it and you realize how impactful that kind of episode can be and helpful. while at the same time it was Q messing with Geisknight and putting people into these weird situations and eventually creating a real-life fantasy for anybody who has played Dungeons & Dragons where they got to actually live their characters because he has that level of magic where he can literally create and turn everyone into their D&D characters. So it was fun. And there's another one with bugbears that references D&D. There's another episode that has, oh my gosh, Dr., who's the Time Lord in television? Yeah, Dr. Who, there you go. There's Dr. Whovian is his name. And he shows up and he struggles because he can't find his sash or something like that, which I think was an obvious reference to Dr. Who once again. I don't know much about Doctor Who, but it also had the three main characters from The Big Lebowski in it who, for whatever reason, were connected, and there was a connector. I think Sia, the singer, was in that episode, and she was mixing dubstep while the characters from The Big Lebowski were playing bowling and trying to get the main characters, and there was like a whole total Mr. and Mrs. Smith scene. it was a crazy episode that connected like these disjointed eight different plots into a, sorry, the greatest love film of all time is called Love Actually. So it was basically Love Actually in a 30 minute episode that referenced seven different movies that brought it all together and created a cool moment at the end. Like that's somebody, some genius I feel like was a part of that cast and wrote the episodes and got the actors and created and got the licensing or whatever, worked with their legal department to say, like, they're close enough to know that this is an obvious reference without actually being an actual reference, so we don't need a license. But that's what I'm getting at. I will say that My Little Pony, out of everything I've ever talked about, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is by far the best television series written for adults that also happens to be for young kids. And I'm done now. Forever!
121:43
Oh my god! Welcome back. Welcome back! I just got off of a 15 hour day shooting. I'm sitting in my room with a bottle of wine.
121:58
Are you in the bathroom again? and do it all again in six hours. But to confirm, as Surreal just said, you're not in the bathroom again, right? No, I am definitely in my room. I'm in my room room.
122:17
All right. Last, last game, and then we'll call it. I just ordered... Well, I said that I'm making eggs. That's for a small snack. I did order room service. I'm getting the club sandwich.
122:28
Okay. So you are still traveling though right now I have been in Sleepy Hollow since Well it's Tuesday now I have been in Sleepy Hollow since Saturday No, Friday One of the days last week Where we were doing principal photography And today was our first day of full production shooting A solid 15 hour day and now I remember why I don't do this for a living.
123:05
Living Arcade can sympathize with you there. Absolutely, Living Arcade, yes. Honestly, we got lucky. $15 was on the short end. We were thinking it'd be $17.
123:21
How are the covert protocols at the other end? Oh, they're fine. We're good. Our cast and crew aren't... We have a couple of people masked up, but a lot of us are boosted and vaxxed enough that we're not that concerned about it. The one thing I said we needed to be concerned about, oddly enough, that nobody I've ever talked to mentioned before going to sleep here, there might be an outbreak of spider bites? What?
123:51
Yeah, apparently the closer you get to the Niagara Falls area, the more likely it is that, while not venomous for particularly problem solving, the spiders get more bitey.
124:04
Sorry, sorry, the spiders get more bitey the closer you get to Niagara Falls. Yeah, apparently that's the case.
124:13
Bitey McBitey spider. Yeah. And honestly, I think after, definitely after tomorrow with the short... I mean, the stars get to go around the town and see it. It's the cast and crew that really need to be on set.
124:35
We're trying to edit in real time to cut down on the amount of turnaround that we're going to have. So once they're done for the day and they wrap, they get to go do... I'm sorry, I'm still looking at our tape. I had to talk to everybody. So we're trying to get this turned around as quickly as possible, but once they're done, they're on there unless there's some ADR we have to do later, and the rest of the team are trying to get this done color correctly. So pretty good after tomorrow. It's a good thing tonight is cast night because I have a confidence that after tomorrow night, six hours in between turnaround shooting, I will absolutely be unconscious. Well, I'm curious, when you say stars, are you working with anyone you can talk about?
125:33
If nobody, anybody has ever heard of them. Okay. One of them might be, but he's a surprise cameo. Is it Runker Howard?
125:45
No. Um, it's somebody that George has definitely never met, but, um, I'm not sure if it's not your help saying anything directly. Thanks to me, one of his phones is now indelibly a part of one of George's playlists. Oh, really?
126:02
Yes, I was able to get him because he lives in the New York area, and I've met him several times, and he was very kind enough to come and join us and put on a costume and play for Tantrum. I mean, sorry, just to confirm, that's the happy birthday song, right? Indeed it is.
126:21
That's awesome. Yes, Aurelio was very kind to come and play pretend, and he's one of the actors, but he's also been through this entire process before. But he's been a gem. He's going around and cracking jokes. If someone's having a bad day, you're trying to make them feel better. He's really been a boon to this production process. That's awesome.
126:50
Okay, and you have perfect timing, because we are four drinks in. By the way, Dice. Queen Dark Lady? Yes, that is exactly who I'm talking about.
127:02
I've met him several times, but I'm sure after this experience, I'll be able to call him a close personal friend. A 13-year-old me is very happy about that. So great. Also, Dirty Toes, welcome.
127:17
Dice. I cannot say enough good things about basically everything Crown Royal is doing right now with their pre-mixed drinks. It's fantastic. I'd rather mix my own. I get that. But this Washington Apple is awesome, and it's 7%... Wow, 7%. Dirty Toes, what did you think? Dirty Toes finally got to play Godzilla. I am curious what's the oh my god the crown yeah Living Arcade it's not only good the I also have the peach one that's the peach tea and the peach tea each crown royal is it's so good well and I just ordered um squirt from Amazon no wait was it squirt no it's not squirt it's called sundrop it's sundrop so I you say that like you've never had it I well no no no I've had sundrop one time and Joe Hills when I was out in Tennessee made me try sundrop and not made me it wasn't like he had to force me this is the drink of Tennessee you need to have sundrop so I had sundrop and I thought wow that's really good it's Tennessee Mountain Dew yeah it's Tennessee Mountain Dew is exactly how he described it so I got to try Sun Drop, and he says that Sun Drop with Sweet Tea Vodka is that the combination of those two things is supposed to be one of the greatest drinks of all time. Oh, Sweet Tea Vodka is dangerous. So I need to go get Sweet Tea Vodka, and there are two different types. There's one that Surreal recommended, whose name I don't remember, and another one called Firefly, which I'll never forget. Surreal, what was the name of the Sweet Tea you recommended? I don't think that was me oh yeah I'm so sorry I talked all over you guys I just came in and kind of stole the show I'm sorry about that we weren't talking much anyway George I had to keep prying I had to keep what? prying information out of us to talk oh no no no by the way Dice meet Ice Ski-Doo Ice Ski-Doo meet Dice you guys have not met before not formally we've met via twitch text I will throw off see you always say it weird and I was wondering where you got that from it's probably because I'm a mid-weight from trying to talk like an east coaster people around here would say you can't get there from here oh yeah The Dirty Toes was liking the artwork. I thought I would show this off. Oh, Dirty Toes, Honey Jack Daniels. Oh, when I had just turned 21, that was my drink of choice, but I had so many, I can't do it anymore.
130:19
And I didn't even get sick. I just got tired of the taste of it, but it's a fantastic beverage to make a cocktail out of. I like this setup, George. Thank you. Yeah, so check this out. I updated the setup. So we've got the wall stuff to actually hang, and you can see that the colors are all moving here. I also wrote a script that allows me to control it, but I haven't integrated it yet. So I've got to do that. I don't know what filmmaker in chat. He wrote a script. Ha!
130:48
So we've got now the lights also over here, and I've got a table. Hey, my first dinner table. This is what Zoe and I eat breakfast at. We still eat dinner downstairs.
130:59
And... I ain't popping a rave. Oh, is there a rave happening right now? There is a rave happening. You can see it there.
131:08
So we've got lights there. Oh my God, yeah. Nice. So we've got the lights over there. We've got these lights here. Plus, also, don't forget that one. It's really easy to forget this guy.
131:27
And also, this looks bright white, but it's not. There's a lot of colors going on here. I saw a Deathly Hallows sign on the fireplace, and I just have to ask, fireplace, after all this time?
131:43
Always. That little can-looking one was like an Alexa or something. Uh-oh. Nope. There's that. Records up over there. It's funny because Zoe and I actually used the record player for the first time in a little bit recently. We've got to pull that back in. It's just so easy sometimes to play her or my playlist from the Sonos speakers. But anyway, that's where we're at right now.
132:07
And did you get that double disc Scott Pilgrim set? Not the, so I do have Scott Pilgrim somewhere in here, and it is wonderful.
132:20
Where is it? Is it just the original or is it the double disc? Because the double disc has all the songs written for the movie, but it's Vex versions. So it definitely has Beck's versions. Hold up. Let me find it. Okay, so you did get the collector version. Okay. I think I got the collector version, but now I'm curious. But I know that I have. Where is it? I'm not laughing at you, George. I'm laughing just because I saw Green Day. God's favorite band. I saw Backers. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. That made me happy. This, by the way, was the most expensive record I have ever purchased.
132:57
To get the Hacker's record was ridiculous and worth every penny. Or is it the original? No, that's original.
133:08
Are you kidding me? It's Hacker's. Were you in chat on that night I was in Nick's chat and we were talking about my recent vinyl pickups? No, I was not. What did you recently pick up? on eBay, I got the first two original pressings of Cottonmouth King records, and they were, each one was autographed by every member in the band at that point, and he wanted, like, 30 bucks for both of them, and I messaged him and told him, like, I'm gonna buy these, but these are easily worth, like, 100 each, so I gave him 150 for both. Wow.
133:49
Nice. Well, and this is something you'll come to learn. That's a very real thing, George. Vinyl karma, much like the weed karma, you put out what you get back. I could have taken that at a very easy price, but then later on something down the road I would have wanted, I actually would not have been able to get. Vinyl karma is very much a real thing.
134:12
I have a shelf that looks very similar to that, George, but it's all laser discs. That's awesome. I just realized I really need to listen to some Cold War kids at some point soon. I feel like Cold War kids and Black Keys need to be played together.
134:29
All the Cold War kids with the non-pumped-up kicks? Different song, but yep. Oh, God. Fall Out Boy has... Yes! Oh, my God, Sammy. Thank you. Thank you right there. Fall Out Boy has the greatest hits album. They have two. Fall Out Boy actually has two greatest hits albums. I have both.
134:50
Part one and part two. Real talk. Speed Racer is my pick for most unrelated movie. I never get dirty toes. Speed Racer is up there in my top ten films of all time. The one that was written and produced by the Wachowski siblings, but I think directed by somebody else. Or maybe it was directed by... And starring a male church acting darling who, fingers crossed, someday I'll get to put in a movie. Oh, my gosh. I, anyone in here who has any interest or had any interest in the past of the, either skateboarding or history of skateboarding, and has not seen Boards of Dogtown, Emile Hirsch is in it. He plays, uh, J-Boy. Oh, what a film. Okay. I, you know, I remember when that movie came out. I saw the preview for it. I wasn't interested. But I love, so is Emile Hirsch the main character from, um, Speed Racer? Okay, he is Speed Racer. Great. I loved every second of that movie. It is the movie that I could, when Zoe was seven, I watched it with her because it was wholesome. But it was wholesome in a way that even I enjoyed. The visuals, the graphics, the ideas and morals that were taught in that film. It's a total, I feel like, early 90s throwback to cartoons, except a movie with great actors and really, really well done just across the board. It was such a great film.
136:25
Social Distortion, Mr. Puzzo, hey, welcome to the stream, covered a Clash song for the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack, okay?
136:32
Oh, yeah, that soundtrack is fan-freaking-tastic. All right. well they really nailed what I'd imagined the look and feel of 70s California to be it's funny because it was shot digitally but it even looks kind of grainy it's got that kind of look to it right like almost like it was old school 35mm film like physical film like one of their bodies was just rolling alongside them with a camera one of those kind of things I love it and that was the tagline that got me like back when skating was when they would go find empty pools before they got filled up and that's where skating was born not only were they not filled up as you'll see in the movie and there's a good documentary to go alongside it but they would wait until people would leave town and they heard word that someone was going to be around for a few days they'd drain the pool and then skate in it. Oh, okay. Oh yeah, there was some heavy vandalism involved there because that would just wreck the tile. I was about to say, oh my god, how much damage were they causing in people's pools?
137:50
Uh, it was definitely illegal. Wow. And now that I, George, where do I get that ramen poster? Dirty Toes.
138:02
It was, I'm not going to lie. I purchased a lot of... You can get that right at this link right here.
138:12
It's a TriBlend poster. TriBlend. Oh, man. Well played. Have a great night. Thanks for stopping in. Sorry I didn't get to talk with you a whole lot. I had a very busy day. Yeah. No, no. We've totally got to go find someone to send all this raid love off to.
138:31
Thank you, everybody. It is. It's only a game since I just got here, George. Laser load. I went to bed. I'll let you know. I went to bed at 3 last night.
138:43
And then my kid woke up at 6.30, even though she went to bed an hour late, and came in. And it was one of those moments. I'm just going to let you know what that's like. Like where you're sleeping and you're dreaming about whatever because it doesn't make a difference because you were scared so horribly that you don't remember what you were dreaming. Because what happened was, is that moment, and if you've had kids, you know what I'm talking about, but it's like that moment where you're like, someone's staring at me, and you open your eyes, and there's a face right here, just looking at you. And I moved back. I want to say it was like legitimately a foot and a half. but in my mind I jumped 16 feet and fell the outside my window I was so freaked out at 6 30 in the morning I didn't go to bed till three and the issue was that I had forgotten that Zoe ran out of cereal she ate the last of her lucky charms which is frustrating in its own right because she has one bowl where she eats all of it and then she fills up the next bowl and I keep telling her not to do that because she doesn't eat the second bowl. She just eats the marshmallows out of the second bowl. I don't know how to fix this issue. George, you know you can buy just the marshmallows, right?
140:06
That's not a solution. I don't want Zoe to eat nothing but marshmallows. That is not stooping to that level. Instead, I want her to step up and show me that she can be trustworthy enough to watch cartoons and eat a bowl of cereal from 6.30 or 7 o'clock in the morning until I get up at 9 on a Saturday or Sunday. If she keeps doing that, she's only getting grape nuts.
140:39
Wait, cats do this too. The terror is the same, I think. You fix it by putting it in a high cabinet after she pours the first bowl. Sammy, she figures it out. There's no... No, no, no. If I moved it to a higher cabinet, and she would figure out where it went. Like, that would be her goal. Or she'd come upstairs and wake me up saying, I can't find breakfast. And it fell off the counter, trying to climb up the kitchen.
141:03
Yeah. No, no. No matter what. You can tell her she doesn't finish that second bowl. All she's getting is ketchup.
141:11
I wipe my own ass. God, Big Daddy was such a great movie. And as someone who's never had any interest in having any kids, I have to say the soap dispenser with the milk so they don't spill, that's brilliant.
141:31
What? Oh my god. Like a soap dispenser? Oh, instead of the big thing. Yeah, so they don't spill it, they can just pump it. That's brilliant. I'll have you know that I have solved this issue. You bought a cow? No, I have little bottles of milk. in which to pour milk. Zoe also struggles with dairy. So we have nothing but oat milk at this house. And oat milk comes in a very small container. Or you can do a very large container. So we do... George, show me the tit on an oat.
142:07
In which the thing that you milk in order to fill this... I get what you're saying. I don't know how they milk oats. Emulsified water?
142:18
No, okay. Emulsified water? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oat milk is borderline better than cow's milk. If you have not tried the magnificence that is oat milk, you should. It's basically half and half.
142:33
But there's no dairy. It's fantastic. So I can... This is terrible for you. No. Here, right here. Specially formulated for the creamy, frothy needs of our professional baristas. Oh, this is my coffee milk. Actually, Zoe's not allowed to use this one. You should not be fulfilling the creamy, frothy needs of your choice.
142:57
It's amazing. Trust me. Oat water is pretty decent, says Dirty Toes. Dave, I also cannot do gluten. So I can't do dairy and I can't do gluten. And I'm fairly, yeah, this is gluten-free and vegan. So it's dairy-free and gluten-free. Oat milk is... I'm going to make some white wine. What are the first three ingredients? Oat milk with the most gluten. The first three ingredients are oat milk, sunflower oil, and minerals. There are only four ingredients. The final one is sea salt. The fact that oat milk isn't the only ingredient concerns me. It shouldn't. It's oat milk. Come on. That should be the only ingredient. Oat milk, sunflower oil, minerals, and sea salt. That's it. Four different things in this right here. Yeah. So they don't have to say oat milk. They just say oat milk. Wait, wait, wait. They do say minerals is dipotassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, and tricalcium phosphate.
143:58
Everyone likes sausage, but no one wants to know how it's made. Yeah, sausage is disgusting. It's funny because Zoe figured out how they make sausage, and she doesn't want to eat it. She's like, but the casing they put it in is disgusting. And I'm like, yeah, but the food in the casing is great. And you don't taste the casing. It tastes like sausage. Yeah. I'm like, there is a local butcher shop that makes rattlesnake and rabbit sausage. Oh, rattlesnake sausage is so good. Well, mixed with rabbit. It is amazing, and she loves it. So we went when she was four. She said, because we had this thing where I would always joke and tell her that when we went out and we got like chicken nuggets someplace or chicken fingers or she got something. I would always make up some animal that she was eating and she got really interested. I'm like, oh, you know, we're eating, it was cheetah or cheetah fingers or cheetah toes or something like that. She's like, dad, she would do that funny thing. Well, what happened was the first time we went to this local Cajun restaurant where they sold actual alligator. I'm like, no, no, no, you're eating real alligator. There's no joking. It's not lying. It's not fun. It's not anything. By the way, we never lie. There is a rule hard and fast that we never lie to each other. And I just let her know when things are, when I'm saying something that may not be true. She'll ask me and I'll be very upfront about it. But I'm like, no, no, no, you're eating actual alligator. And she's like, oh, she got all excited.
145:35
What a good. I used to try this cinnamon roll oat milk coffee creamer. What? I don't put creamer in my coffee. Oh! It gets between me and caffeinating.
145:49
Oh, no, I just finished it. Hold on. Wait, where is it? So that same manufacturer is what I just finished this morning. Here it is.
146:03
Oh, there was something. We just threw the trash. Yep. Nope. There's food on this. But anyway, that same thing.
146:13
We're going to ignore what just fell off the oat milk here. But that same Khalifa Farms. Pretty sure I bought another milk based product at one of the conventions I went to. But Khalifa was spelled differently. And then we have Oatly Oat Milk, which is the same manufacturer that we just had a second ago for the coffee. And then I even have more oat milk.
146:46
Oh, this one is the Grey... Well, are you sure you didn't buy it on clearance and they left the G off for goat milk? It is not goat milk because goat cheese, by the way, is... That was a bad joke.
147:04
Nicely done. Oh, my God, surreal. You left to go to bed. What are you still doing in chat? What are you talking about? I've been here the whole time. Going to bed doesn't mean he's not still here. Oh, my God, surreal. No, I haven't gone to bed. I haven't done anything. I've just been sitting here listening.
147:24
Okay, cool. So you're texting. That's fine. And watching food fall off of old meals. As long as we're here, George, you might as well play another game.
147:33
No, I have to go to bed. I haven't slept. I'm running on four hours of sleep and a lot of caffeine I've had zero in the last 72 hours the edges of things are starting to get dancey and I'm still here yeah exactly no no no we're both going to go to sleep everyone have a great night thank you so much for hanging out with us let's go find someone to raid really quick who is streaming is there anyone streaming pinball right now oh yeah there is laserless is streaming pinball because he does let's go raid some laser lows and he is playing Tommy all raids ended laser lows let's go do it you guys have a great night thank you so much and have fun thanks George have a good night have you been inundated with ads and questions related to TPN's now famous homemade pinball pudding line of puddings?
