oh we got a few people before their Thanksgiving lunch I guess some people do a Thanksgiving lunch all - Thanksgiving dinner a little bit of Turkey and stuff though sometimes but there's a few of you I doubted there was very many people who's gonna stream today so I figured you know sitting around waiting for her lunch waiting for dinner to get done waiting to go shopping whatever you're gonna do I figured I'd do a little quick stream just add a little pin ball to the turkey day hey you a longer happy Thanksgiving man a little lost world for you guys I play some last night - it's kind of a shitty stream but it was whatever I turned you on some lost world in the background this is gonna be all all about giant turkeys giant Birds dinah Souls I don't I don't think very many people like this game with me but we're gonna roll with it anyways she's not I'm not fan of Metallica and I don't know I don't guess I've overplayed the walking dead yet but I figured what better what better thing on Thanksgiving then dinosaurs nothing not The Walking Dead game down hey what's up poohbear how are you doing buddy happy Thanksgiving man them to you and your family Oh sink got the nice gracious ball save like stirring to do hey Happy Thanksgiving turbo to you and your family sir I put the turkey in the oven this morning early one of the turkeys I got two turkeys and a hand I go with a smaller turkey I have heard that a smaller turkey if you can keep it between 12 and 15 pounds that it's going to cook a lot more even and be a lot more juicy than if you go with like a 25 30 pounds ient bird so the smallest that I could find I guess because everybody's obsessed with a big turkey was like 16 pounds so I got two 16 pound birds and stuff like a big giant one so stuck one of those in the oven got a stuffing up there he's getting ready to be cooked got a hand that's still got to go in but I'm getting ready so I had some down time my stuff is cooking the wife had to work today so I'm doing most of the cooking my my mother came over she never seen that rocking up like yeah um she's upstairs with kids throwing a couple other things on she's the stuffing maker oh I'll get in there but I'm excited by my turkeys I did a uh for those that care I did a compound butter with sage and lemon pretty simple but you know very effective sate sage and poultry go very very well together so I'm excited about that it's my first time I've done that do it on my chicken thighs all the time but I've never done it on my turkey oh oh [Music] turbo dude I can't wait man yeah you know I got kind of lucky like I said like my mine is not I was just a really cheap Dale that I bought for work because I've never played on streaming or messing with any of that I just bought it cheap when I'm running I five seven or I three I'm not running an i-5 that's what have you worried but it's a seven Jim and it holds up decent I'm not sure how it's gonna do like if I go with like a Sony Handycam or something and do a capture card but I'm hoping that that that it'll handle that too for for the most part it I'm worse decent and I do recommend that turbo man like if you if you can afford it and go with it go with a handycam with an HDMI capture card for at least your play field it's quite a bit more money up front but I think that you're gonna be a lot happier with it then with those those nine 22s like I got it's just it's just a lot more fluid not that this 922 s are bad but those those handy camps are just quite a bit better way too much how's everybody else that's just joining in how's everybody doing this fabulous Thanksgiving here in southern Indiana we've got some decent temperatures today I think we're gonna hit I think movie are what we gonna hit today buddy what we getting up to like 50 something today it's gonna be a nice day I know some of you guys up me or Chicago I think it's pretty cold and you're expecting some snow which I guess that'd be you wouldn't it turbo that you're getting some snow up there or supposed to maybe set in some snow I know what if you think skipping said it's it's snows we used to have a big family Fred my own family and we'd go the grandparents house and all that kind of stuff we have we have annual Thanksgiving football games and I remember playing a few of them in the snow yeah it's gonna be nice today I normally go out Black Friday shopping ever since I'm kind of a electronics nerd and I would always stand in line for the nice TV deal or something and so I've done that for four years and I think that this is the first year that we're not going to go out Black Friday shopping the whole the whole Thanksgiving thing kills it I'm not a big fan of that going on we're getting ready we're gonna have a good store off of this site B I think [Music] yeah we are I used to always hit it off that I with just to the left of the tee there and I've started going to the tee it's a it's a little less risky that's awesome oh yeah so see what I did there was I was about to drain on that side P and I had a little bit of time left so use my spark missile and winning survived both people and you really gain nothing off of these multi balls you know it's not like a lot of other game oh yeah a lot of other games with there's a lot to hit my switch didn't register it's you literally have to hit the jackpots randomly do that this is I'm using OBS xsplit is not that much money but I think it's like two dollars or something a month and I think that it honestly may be a better program but OBS is really easy to use and it's I haven't been doing it for very long but it seems less finicky now than what it was when I first started streaming [Applause] get in there here we go now we got to hit that Raptor shot which is right next to that stand-up target we gotta hit this Raptor it's that in orbit and in whatever that the jackpots on is what we'll get just like we did guys this is uh this is gonna be a [ __ ] stellar game on this oh hello yes ball one with 11 million Maya my high score on this damn thing is only uh 21 million come on let's get it one more of this in it Oh [Music] four million sight beam whoa feeling good about this Sara Sara oh yeah it's gotta underwhelmed by this movie when it came out but I kind of enjoy it now oh it's not terrible Oh nobody cared about those what did I lose I lost my freakin player cam [ __ ] I need a piece of tape better piece for that damn thing Bob rated me off they're bitter bitter shape now I think I got my tape out in my truck I saw the bad thing we lost that we lost some viewers can't be losing viewers you will learn when you start streaming that electrical tape is your your best friend square awesome we're back no huh the tilt Bob's in there it's just that that damn thing like that shaker motor uh who was the tongue to door Scott or somebody last night was talking about hi he just picked one of these up and he switched the way the shaker motor spins where he said that they're their opposite and his shook like mad to this damn thing I mean when you go into multiball or anything to shakes like crazy and he said he turned one of his bobs around where they were both in the same direction or something so I kind of thought about doing that it's just I didn't have it on there very well on that head switching switching back and forth from games that it where's that tape out there's no real good place to mount anything with this it's got a really weird head on it's the second B&B or the Sega showcase so it's like this weird box that's not like a normal head so it's there's no place to really mount a clamp or anything on the damn thing boom I wouldn't I wouldn't that rough with it food beer okay now that freaking throw me off get back into this I'm having a hell of a game we're gonna set a GC on this bastard and right now what I want to go for is I want to get site B going again but I'd like to hit that left ramp and get a GPS going and then you see that a flashing there then get my my mobile app I didn't want to your ex but like again it freaking skoufis so finicky I don't like I don't like messing with it and advances towards another multiple which is a bad very very well laid out game it really is there we go if I just hit those orbits oh good you spins oh that was a squandered ball yeah it is you know that that one there food beer that one's a little rough you kind of get the gist so you have to come over one day and play mine the one at wreck bars a little the flippers are a little loose and some of the steps a little a little weak with it not knocking the games really or anything but you know how condition is with with some pins if you like the thing I thought it was decent there then you'll you'll actually really like it here okay so GPS I'm gonna hit this ramp over here and hopefully hopefully score some big points aha it's gonna make me so upset oh well that's the way the cookie crumbles watch the movie on there [Music] hey food beer about had exact talking to buying an alien he'd talk to somebody I told him about it Larry's and I said you know it's a pretty pretty and fun pin and somebody else he was talking to was talking about their alien about had him talked in the violin anyway I'm gonna have plenty of food man been pinball in Turkey you can't ask for more I got a I got a bottle of scotch too I like a little scotch on the holidays break that bastard open them after dinner do something with yourself do something with yourself nasty snack Oh stay ready I don't know if I knew that was a direct quote from this that movie cuz it says it even when you activate the snag around here I guess I remember being [Music] part of it I remember the snagger obviously but not not that exact line haha yeah you know I used to like some bourbon a drink you know some Woodford or something some smoother stuff and then I had a buddy who bought me a bottle of scotch for my birthday one year and then I remembered tasted scotch is like a later teenager and I was like man some disgusting [ __ ] and my buddy bought me that that uh that bottle and I was like yeah I'll drink it I don't want to hurt his feelings all I have some and then it kind of it kind of grew on me a little bit cuz scotch gets better with a little water and then ice you know an ice and stuff Oh grilling a bourbon and I gotta have bourbon on the rocks so that Scotch match is a little bit better with with water than what the Bourbon does both fantastic though you can't not drink bourbon and not be from this area have you uh you tried I don't know how much bourbon you drink food beer but uh have you tried larceny that's a pretty damn good bourbon especially for the at the price point it's a damn good bourbon Oh hands mad dog 20/20 that's some nasty [ __ ] Milwaukee's best look Milwaukee's best is uh just like it's a few scores under a PBR I have a I had a grandfather who that's all he drank Milwaukee's best yeah now all these best is better than natty light though probably but we don't even drink it we make it that's how bad it is [Laughter] yeah I think that's why either like really young people drink it or really old people I find that not many young people drink at a Milwaukee's best this PBR Nabby light I think I think Milwaukee's best is reserved for the older folk who drink a lot and are on a budget that's the only way I started drinking PBR cuz we can go on vacation and [ __ ] beer would be outrageous and we'd sit on the beach and drink freakin a ton of beer all day long and I was like I'm not gonna go Burling even even Miller Lite and Bud Lite [ __ ] was you know fairly expensive so about the only thing that we felt comfortable buying and then we could afford with some PBR so it just kind of become a ritual to drink PBR on on vacation and for whatever reason PBR tastes very good pinball I started doing that too because I go to a bar Kate or something I want to pay high dollar for a beer over price so that you always get PBR for cheap in a bar I'm just a tight-ass hey Ronald yeah man I think we are like I said I've talked to the owner we're pretty good friends over at Zanzibar and he actually has a Batman suit 66 super Ellie so I'm gonna go over there and I want to stream that I think that's gonna be my first stream that I do from over there is that that 66 super Ellie I'm gonna talk to him see if he's updated it yeah we got to do cuz I heard that that that code really helped that game and Zach still hater on it but I mean I kind of like the shots and I kind of like the game so I'm anxious to play the code myself but yeah we're gonna revisit that and then on our anniversary or our anniversary of the show is coming up in February so what we have talked about doing is doing one whole show dedicated to all of our reviews and revisit those reviews and and not do super detailed but just go through opinions and thoughts and things that may have changed over the last year just because the things like having a Metallica at home I'm not as fond of that things like Batman 66 with the code update things like Rob Zombie with a massive amount of code update and everything that went on with that because that games grown on me tremendously - Rob Zombie has so we want to revisit some those games and things that have changed give our opinion and why it's changed it and what's going on which I think will be super freaking cool switch it over to the beast oh yeah you know what that a food beer that might not be a bad idea either man a New Year's prediction that's pretty good yeah it's just I mean you know you know how pinball is I mean it varies so freakin much on you know whether you own a game you know what kind of condition it's in you know if you played it on route it are on location so so much goes into it that that can affect in your opinion and then just so you select with Batman 66 the the code updates and stuff I think that that's changed a lot of people's minds with that game and hell you even take Guardians I mean if they don't create out code updates fast that might be one of those things aware that which we have technically reviewed it we gave a pretty detailed lengthy first impressions but but like even something like as new as that can be affected decent score then I'll lose it I'm excited about that that revisiting show and you guys who ever went on here last night we had I announced last night to our select few twitch viewers that a part of our holiday extravaganza or happy holiday giveaway is what we're actually calling us the happy holiday giveaway is we are giving away a full set of pen stadium lights and we are going to be giving away some marcos stuff we got a couple mugs and things Larry from flipping out pinball is going to I believe give us some more swag and some more cool [ __ ] that we can get away and we are also going to be giving away some SDTM logo t-shirts and stuff so we're gonna we're gonna make a pretty big spectacle out of it you we're gonna give away a lot of [ __ ] man and we're gonna do it like what we did with those those trans lights that we had those pet Lawler tranel trans lights we're going to there's going to be code words bastard spread out between our platforms so you'll get a code word on our YouTube video maybe two YouTube videos you get a code word

or more on there like you cannot beat a free freakin set of PinStadium Lights if you win so it's a pretty damn cool I'm excited about it and I should be getting a set soon I just haven't ordered them yet how you liking the poohbear you enjoying them I'm probably gonna put them on kick people be so man I'm probably gonna put him on my lost world though but I'm having interchangeable set and everything so whatever I scream I'm probably gonna have just so I don't have to have crazy overhead lights and stuff cuz they really are fantastic for streaming oh you don't even stalled you get turbo no excuse no excuse they're they're so quick and easy to install Zach loves this man like Zach Ness where's Bob haha yeah I don't blame you ma'am you know this [ __ ] burns me out too I got to take a break when I missing something too much okay they are they look really good they look really good at X though that a detective Mars we streamed look fantastic it's nice that you can save your your different settings and stuff for your games just because ah especially if you are switching back and forth and stuff because that way you don't have to readjust everything once you find a setting of you like yeah he's uh he wanted me we talked at Expo and he actually wants me to to install a set on his his Waze he wanted me to order a set and we're gonna put him on his watch that's what he wants him on just cuz it's so it's not an incredibly dark bar there but it's you know how it is it's it's dark enough especially with a why's that it it's just it's gonna benefit from it like crazy see if we can't get a rafter yeah come on I completed Raptor a handful of times [Music] now I can't he's a good guy man got a really nice place there there's not there's not cleaner games anywhere around that's for damn sure [Music] throw one more game on here let's make a good one I'll do upstairs go stairs and get back to the cooking it's across the kids have left me alone I saw a little bit bass that Turkey turkey baster [Music] old Chuck work played that Starship Troopers last night made me want to start ship troopers oh that's blasphemy to everybody hates the same yeah I know yeah he was waiting through a bunch of stuff through the Planning Commission and everything else that they were tied up in but yeah I mean I mean he's got I've seen his stockpile of games it's it's fantastic a lot of the stuff that he's got that he just doesn't have room for at the bar and so I'm super excited about bar of soap opening he said it's just gonna be wall-to-wall games in there and I think they're gonna serve drinks at the lottery man which is awesome and it's nice that's right cross street because then you've just oh you know there's a few games I want to play over here for you new stairs Stephanie Eve's walk cross street play over there the Lobos gonna be a pretty pretty good setup for pinball here soon if Tony getting his games in just a little bit better condition a trek bar and then you take what ANSYS got going on man it'll be a really nice setup for such a small city by the spotters oh [ __ ] sculpt that ball really just doing this I'm surprised he stayed that long played pinball me and so many people when they come in you know you're like hey maybe we'll play some pinball and then they're just so reluctant and hesitant to play like we had a we had a Halloween kind of a Halloween party type thinking it was a 90's party and stuff so everybody was dressed up in their 9t stuff and I had the games and it took people a little bit to warm up but there was a handful of people that literally did not leave the machines they they got comfortable enough that they they really didn't even party they just stayed here and played pinball which I was fine about I thought was awesome [Music] it doesn't take a long like I mean I don't mind cell games and do stuff like Zack goes but cuz I haven't really got anybody in to pin ball around me which I'd like but literally in Evansville small is what Evansville is and stuff like Zack has gotten at least three or four freaking people Hart are pretty hardcore into pinball and they've got some pretty damn good collections now that's what I want to start around me and the main reason I want to so I can just walk right down the street to like a guy's house the neighbor's house to ship and play pinball does that got his neighbor literally like right beside him in the pinball which is nice he'll swap games and stuff and walk over and to play together I wanted that I want people right by me boo beer is not far away I got a crash food beers some time he's literally helped amira dude I think I learned that your man Nate maybe 10 minutes from me so you're not very far at all this will be the last game I'm gonna burn my turkey snitches must be deep in there there we go oh now I'm gonna freakin bust the [ __ ] out of those orbits nothing better feeling when you hit the shots Anita hit no dammit I want to keep rolling with that I normally don't do terribly well on those Jack on those multi balls but me and I broke them up today gonna be it oh say it's gonna be like that one game where we get a lift million in that one ball hey later food beer thanks for stopping by buddy you have a happy Thanksgiving tell your family we said hey pack your team and it's a nice little lineup just a GPS rolling on this ball say that bring there we go got like deja vu from that last game Duran oh nice oh I can't see cuz if damn lights wash it out so bad no swings I'm going I'm hardwired in Iran Accord just to be safe but my wife I actually doesn't do too bad Kevin from Buffalo and we rough it at Chicago Kevin like they made sure they wanted a hard line ran when we did that stream when we battled because he said it's just so finicky but when we were in Nashville there was absolutely no way for us to get a hard line so I ended up we did the whole Nashville stream on on Star Wars from from Wi-Fi and it held up good so I think it's best to have a hard line but if you can't get one I don't think that it's terrible through Wi-Fi or at least mine mine isn't which I don't know give that to my internet provider or whether my computer's card is decent yeah Zack ended up running a long wire for his for for the most part I think it's safe to do you could always try Wi-Fi and see how it does and it might be one of those things where that sometimes it works good sometimes it doesn't but I think hardwiring is is the best [Music] there we go it was this the only thing like I don't I don't know where I mean I'm sure they had fairly strong internet there at that Expo in Nashville but my my router I had it put in the basement so it's literally just the wall behind Mike my games but when I go to Zanzibar no stream Zanzibar like all the the Wi-Fi and all that stuff is upstairs in a weird room and so I can't run a line down to those games so I'm gonna have to rely on Wi-Fi there as well and hope that it works out now we're in rap DeVoe well babe okay it's Audrey going with you okay love you girls like site B again that's ball that could push me over the edge if I get site B going again ball three ah at least I got a cut on the leaderboard with it damn well I appreciate you guys tune in on this fantastic Thanksgiving I hope you guys get your bellies full don't drink too much and have a fantastic day man I don't know when our next episode drops I think we're gonna be filming some this coming up weekend and stuff and that's when we're gonna start our our Christmas stuff and we'll start getting away code ways for the giveaway and all that stuff and as always Oh get your nestea TM t-shirt we got a couple of these enlarged left that's it we've sold out of everything else on these
