Alright, guys. Chill out. Thank you for the follow. Okay, I balanced the crap out of this thing, see? Was the left out lane like a big thing? I will say I did open up the outlanes. I didn't want to leave those. Those had to be opened up. So good thing I left the ball stable. So the... Yo, Fox City Pinball, what's crackin'? Gary Stern will be here in about 10, 15 minutes. I had to tell him how to get into the building. Tremendous fan of this pin. Oh, right on. Outlaying all night, baby. That's what it's seeing. That's what I'm seeing. What am I shooting for here? You have to like... I'm hitting the locks and they're not locking. They're not like going solid. Oh, that one did. Demon! Demon multiball! Ho ho ho! Shoot the blinking things! Oh, the bounce to the left out lane is a real big thing. Okay, good to know. You're going to learn to hate the left out lane. This code, you also hit Gene's mouth to advance the lock. Oh, that's good. So, five is terrible. Let's try Black Diamond. Okay, I'm seeing Demon advance as I go inside the mouth there. Whoa! It's been so long since I've played with a Ball Stave on, that actually sort of scared me. Yep. Okay. Oh, here we go. Hehehehe. Alright guys. So there's a lock. Black diamond is the right loop. I caught some veils in my dream. What's that? Balls. Yes. Black Diamond, that's Kiss Song. I'm not sure I've heard this song before ever. So, oh, that rolled right off the slipper. So I think I have all three box slits? Gary Cux? Oh my god, yes he do. Alright, Demon Multiball. Good night, son of mine. Easy peasy. Oh. What am I shooting for? Yay! Checkbox. Doctor Love. We want Gary. He's coming. God, you guys are impatient. Jeez, I please. Five bucks, C&K, you don't even know what Gary's turn looks like. I could have my mom come in here and you wouldn't know the difference. JK. I love you, Steve. Oh, that sucks. That right ramp is a pain in the booty. Do you know about the Love Gun multiple yet? Oh, totally. So you want to beat up Star and then get it up the right ramp to start Love Gun, I believe? Or you can get it in that little saucer back there, if I'm not mistaken. Hi, moms! He's on his way. That is a fun but ridiculously tight shot. Shin-P, what's up buddy? Thanks for coming, man. You just won something, didn't you, over in, uh, Ghoststream? Uh, Translate? Wow. A kill. A kill. All right, that Starchild shot is radon. Nasty hard. Can we see the camera? Yeah, I'll show it to you. Um, I'll have to figure out how I'm going to do that real quick. That was my fault. What's that big black K? What was that for? Oh. Do you have something to say to me? Black Diamond! More arc. More arc. The fake real Josh, exactly. Dear fake real Josh. But. Oh, I got a replay. I also turned the knocker off on this thing. I'm not about to listen to it since it's sleeping all night. Thanks, DJ. Yeah. Uh-oh. We're eight minutes away. from a good time with Gary. You guys have your questions ready? Because guess what? I ain't letting you ask. No. Unless it's about My Little Pony. Then you're allowed to ask whatever you want. There's only one hype, and it's My Little Pony hype. What the ships was that? What was that? That was a nasty feed out of that. Show Gary your dance moves. What is the highest donation? What do you mean? Dutch Monkey, I don't know what that means, brother. If you mean today, no one's donated today. You could be the first. You will be the first. How do you get to the plate bill? That's a great question. Yeah, that's the one connection Gary and I have as we talk about motorcycles. Oh, yeah, suck it. I like it. Juice, alright. Juice seems like money. Damn, that ramp is nasty hard. From all time? Ummm... Like 250 bucks I think? I think it was about 250. Thunderstorms is kicking, gonna delay traffic. Right on Dan Brown. So you're staying to nudge while you're in there? I don't know if I feel alright with that. Woo! Goosey-goose. Jack, serious? Watch your money. Vito ordered the kiss for you and paid with my money. Chicago! This is the day! Yeah! Come on, Chicago. Chicago, let me hear you say yeah. Damn, that is a tight, tight, tight shot. Star Child? Ooh, wait. Oh, I'm flipping like an idiot. Yeah! It says Chicago. Yeah. I wonder if Gene Simmons is coming also. Could it be? Mean Gene? So where is the shot? Because that is... It's like a one degree separation of making it and just missing everything. Okay, let's not... PRAI MUNDO! Welcome to the League, brother! You're amazing! Ladies and gentlemen, can I get some flippers and butts up for PRAI MUNDO, please? I love you. Shh, shh. Don't speak. You've already said too much. I love you. Thank you, buddy. That means a lot. I love you. Shh, shh. Don't speak. You've already said too much. I love you. Thank you, buddy. Let me block. Get ready to rock with Gary Stern. It's gonna be so great. Gonna kick my butt at pinball tonight. Alright, so what's... What's a good mode to play on this, guys? Clippers and butts. Welcome new sub! I'm feeling like I'm going to know a lot of KISS songs real quick. I just want to keep hitting Star Child. Is there a Gary's Paragon? I don't know. Oh, ZZ Top, he's on his way. We told him 5.30, so it's not quite 5.30 yet. He's a businessman. Ramp loop, ramp loop. The middle ramp? I know the middle ramp is for the mode. Does this game want to let me play? Yeah, there is no skill try yet, I guess. I want that freaking ramp so bad. That. But the ramp says no. Oh my god. It's like 97 degrees. Right. Fit-wise, that's not unclassy at all, man. Maybe it does not need one. Oh, a skill shot? Where would it be? I mean, there's nothing even... It doesn't say even anything about a skill shot. Uncle Gary is going to be here any minute now, guys. Hold your houses. You guys were not kidding about that freaking left outline. Holy moly. That thing is gnarly. Oh, he made it? He's eating on my... Okay, can I ask you something? When you were watching Joe play this, was he getting a lot of those left-out lane drinks? Because it's happening. A lot. Like, a lot. Shoot ball! Alright C.A.K.! Alright C.A.K.! That's it. I'm gonna joke fan your ass, but for real. Alright C.A.K. that's it. I'm gonna joke bang your ass, but for real. Uh, Seepwalla. I think I just need to warm up to it man. Like I said, when I first started playing like Metallica or Walking Dead, I didn't like the game. So it just takes a minute for me to... my brain needs to figure out where the shots are. That's why I'm just shooting for the same stuff over and over again to try to find out where it is. That, though, is good. You want a Christmas pin to play through Christmas time? You think this is floaty? No way, man. This is steeperino. The left outling struggle is real. It is. Complete kiss targets to activate left outling boxes. Oh, that's a real thing. What happens, um, setting the slingshots a little higher, What happened to... Setting the slingshots a little higher, that is brutal. Some might say rude. No, I made sure this thing was not floaty at all. Because when I stream this thing tomorrow, we're going to blow it up on hard mode. That is something that's sort of bugging me a little bit. I want to trust that kick out from the scoop, but it's just draining me immediately. Alright, well we know where that ramp is. Alright, we know how to lick it up. I've licked up... I think I've licked it up enough. I think I've licked it up enough. Oh, you can change your song? Hell yeah. I'm all about that. That is a hard return. It's something, I'm not even sure... So, there's something glowing that says kiss. Someone is working on a I've never seen before. Same thing. It looks interesting. Wow. Does it remember your locks? Does it default to Chicago? You seem pretty raged. I can see that, man. I can see that. This game is... Um, it's fast. It is pretty... It's a Steve Ritchie game, so it's gonna be fast. It's also... pretty brutal. What happened to the big Lebowski pig? What do you mean? Uh, Universal Studios wouldn't let me stream it. I think he needs sound effects when he does it with his tongue. Oh, hell yeah, I made that shot. Black diaper! And by Richie, I mean John Borg. Thank you. Big Pat, how are you buddy? Any moment now. Oh, the DMD is a little blurry, huh? Let's fix that real quick. There we go. John Borg. Whoa. Show up the spike boards. You haven't seen one? I think they're all over the internet. Deacon, everyone's here. What's cracking? Whoa. Ah, yes it does. Uh, Jody, if you're watching, which I think you are, what I like to do is remove a couple of the lights out from around the flippers just for the camera's sake. But it is a gorgeous freaking game, man. I can't find that shot. Oh, that's the feet I was looking for, baby. Is it possible to get the left lane for deuce with the plunge if it's slow enough? Maybe. You mean the right lane? Yeah. Okay. Oh, that is tough. But rewarding when you hit it. Snowboarder, they release code when they can. They don't have a set date that they're like, oh, it's new code Friday. Okay? Homonymous, hell yeah dude. So Love Gun's ready. Oh, where is that ramp? Gary Stern, where are you? Gary Stern, I need you here. That's not possible, but I backhanded it. Hey, everybody, my name's Gary Stern. Oh, I meant Jerry Starn. Remember guys, real time is 900 times slower than internet time, so what may seem like an eternity to you really is only 5 or 10 minutes. I love you though I'm in love with you we could have made out but you won't return my calls so you know well that was crap he's right behind you he will be here I built it. He's coming. Get your grandma out of here. Whoa! Okay. What do I do in this circumstance, ladies and gentlemen? What do I do with that? When it just... Straight feed, straight feed. You'll be getting a very stern look from me. Alright, here we go. I like the shots on this thing. They feel pretty frickin' cool. I just, uh, can't find them. Also, opening up the outlanes really wide on this, I'm starting to see is a big punishing effect. We got a text from Gary Stern, ladies and gentlemen. Stuck in traffic, rain was going, take Harley, but it was pouring. He was going to ride his Harley and he didn't. Wait, it's raining here in Chicago? Folks, it looks like we're going to be streaming later to compensate for the time lost here. That's okay. We licked it up. Field of Dreams. Call your mama. Alright, what do I shoot in the multiball? What do I shoot in the multiball? The middle? The middle thing? Four jackpots left. One, two, three. I have no idea what I'm shooting from there. Ah, the outlanes are real. Some might say too real. Please? I'm starting to think that maybe there's some sort of a carom move we can do to get into Starshield maybe? Nah. Red lights homie, red lights. What? How did I get that? Yo, this goes out to my boy, MBS. You know who you are, bud. So you have to shoot for the outlanes. Is that what you're telling me? Outta here! Rock and roll? Okay, yes, because that's a shot I want to figure out. We're going to go with rock and roll all night. You know what it is, this game just demands more ball control out of you, I think. Look at this. You just gotta, yeah, just require some more Ball control! Damn that is a tight shot. Nailed it! Oh my god! Nailed it, rocket ship right back. We want Andy. Gary's on his way, folks. Don't worry. And I'm talking every day. Rock and roll. Uh, right on. And I'm talking every day. Rock and roll. And I'm talking every day. Rock and roll. Oh, right on, dude. Right on. All right, cool. Oh, that thing sped at you. Again, folks, I don't have a lot of time on this pin, so this is like the maiden voyage for me. So who said something about shooting Kits for something? Kits Army Spinner. Oh, what? Okay. If this has a juicable spinner, this game just got way more exciting in my book. Is that the right term, juicable? Yo, Water Polo, good to see you, bud. Thanks for coming back, man. Thanks for coming, Batman. I think Gary's really Batman. Guys, Batman's here, and Gary is not. Oh, come on! Alright, let's get those kissies. Oh, love you! Okay, love you! Nope. Oof, duh. Ah, the left out lane. That drain is so frickin' real. freaking real. ETA to spinner banking. Jucible is the new pinball vocabulary. So you're saying to plunge slow to try to get, uh, to cheat out of that or something? Alright, let's start Kyle. Hell yes, that worked. Yo, Kyle, what's up, buddy? Thanks for coming back. Caboose. Yo, snuff. What's up, buddy? Thanks for the follow, man. I'm going to need you to follow me home, too, because this is a pretty sketch neighborhood, if that's okay. Everybody out. Okay, let's get some ball control going here, because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Oh! I got juiced! Now what was the anaball there ladies and gentlemen? What was the anaball that brought that? Was it a straight number of scoffs that I hit or something? Stay alive, baby. Stay alive. Give me one break. Just one of them. That wasn't so bad, that felt pretty good. Oh, yeah. Back take pass, you understand me? New track. Oh, I'm ready. Okay, I thought I hit the ball. I'm ready. Oh, I'm ready. Okay, I thought I hit that. Yeah, this game wants all your attention, and that's good. Good morning, Afterkill. What's up, buddy? So that should be all my locks ready. Oh, that, I should have slapped. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Big Top of B-14, ladies and gentlemen, Chuck Jackson. Okay, here we go. Control. Control. I was thinking I'm going to have to figure out a little thing now because I can't find it. What the fuck? That multiball went really quick. So what does Backstage Pass do? Is that like a... Ah, Gravine, sorry buddy. Move, I can be a jerk. What was that kiss, hurry up? How do you get spaceman? Oh, nevermind. It's a mystery scoop? Okay. I can hear something. Big Papa C-14, this is for you, buddy. M.F. Bama, he's on his way. He texted me. Don't sweat it. He's coming. I'm sorry if you have to sit on the Internet longer than you want to. Oh, Chuck, no gang affiliations in my chat, please. We don't need any spice breaking up. Thank you. Okay, the Tilt-Pop works. The Tilt Bob is worse. Oh, yeah, that spinner is pretty. So is that... Is that a love gun? So you can get it with the scoop in there, okay. Spitting on top of the internet. That's all good. I'm too afraid to do some ball control here because I can't find the shots. So I should give it back? No? The ball stays turned on. That was weird. That was weird. The ball stayed blank turned on but it didn't give the ball back. Oh, shards. Okay, so I have three heads right here lit up. Do those count towards juicing the spinner? The spinner that I have not hit yet? Oh, protospartan, that's awesome dude. Make it burn! Make it burn! Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho! Yeah, I like that. I like, I like all that. How much money did I make off of that? So, what's this army stuff doing for me? The ball save site mode? I'm trying to spell pretty much anything right now. So it looks like the pop poker is one of my sentry. Is that something? Oh dude, when this, you know what? If you could find the shots, this game's got some crazy freaking flow on it. crazy flow. Push your butts up! So I guess there's an instrument... Oh my god, I want I spend that all freaking day. So where's, oh no. What ball was that? Cause I have a lot of this crap lit up here. Let's start a new mode and skip. Oh, okay. Whoa, we have a ball save. Ding dong. Oh, so the progress that you built with Kiss, Army, and the Faces is only for that ball? Only for that ball. Hello. Wait, you can start Love Gun in the mouth? Okay guys, let's be adults about this. Let's be adults about this and keep draining everything. Ugh! Thought I was gonna have to deflect that. I was wrong. Holy science! I put my little gun into his mouth. Yes, okay. Love it. Alright, so I'm gonna plunge this really slow. Nope. Nope, that didn't even make it up. Hot time, sabba dabba doody. Train, hurry up. Wait! What? Uhhh... Yeah, I got pretty wrecked there. That was for sure. Gene Simmons said no. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. See? Oh, Gary Stern. Oh, okay, he's not there. Thank you. Thank you. We also just picked this up from your place earlier. I knew that. Yeah, and it looks great, especially on camera. Have you played it before? Just briefly at a lunch party. Okay. So a quick cap of what's going on here. This is the camera that's on you. This is the camera that's on the play field. Are they working right now? This is the camera. Yeah, there's about 142 people in here. Hello there. Ladies and gentlemen, Gary Stern. Stern pinball, obviously. Hello. I got dressed up actually. I got to tell you, I didn't get dressed up for you. I got dressed up for Chubb. Chubby? Oh, Chubb. Chubb. The pinball dog. Yeah, he was over today. This is going to be drooled all over the glass. That's what I'm... He was very drooling. Well, that was, he'd already done all the stuff. The gentleman I sent over to pick this machine up, he's like, I just thought of like a pit bull playing pinball or something. Yeah, it's an English... Bulldog. I want to see what that looks like because I don't really understand the... He's adorable. He's mostly watching and barking at the ball. Yeah. And when you say play pinball... The guy posted a video. He's like, Chuck, you want to play pinball? And the dog just rocketed downstairs and then stood on the pinball machine and just waited. He's not playing here, but this is Chuck. Ah, Chuck. Yeah, he's adorable. He sets these rules a lot. Thank God he has a cocktail. Well, that's, you know, I think he learned it on his own. Maybe he can go back, but I'll create an Instagram page. We have it on ours. We have it on ours. Am I supposed to talk to this? So this microphone is picking up everything. So I'd say where you're standing is probably the best where you're trying to be. So that's where I am. Yep. Look at this. Talk to that. You don't need a haircut. You look great. The thing is, I'm much taller than all other people. So I'm going to drop this dead. That's why you've got those eight-panger. Yeah, absolutely. I couldn't ride with the eight-panger. I know my girl tried to sit on that thing and she's like if I could touch the controls, I can't reach the handlebars and vice versa. Later when we're done with this, I'll tell you why I didn't buy that bike. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. But I love that. That's my favorite bike. Pretty sure Jack has his laptop showing the chat. No, you guys are here. Wait, did Chubbs go to the Sternfacker? Yes. John Chab? John Chab, the artist that... Is Josh on here? So that is not the real Josh. Sharp. People are speaking baskets on the internet. That's another Josh Sharpe. Yeah. That is not the real Josh Sharpe. Which Josh Sharpe is that? Not the Josh Sharpe. I'm pretty sure that guy's name is like Mike Ed Robertson or who even knows. Yo, Mike, tell us. What's up? Who are the friends? Alright, folks, this is Gary Stern. His daughter, Lindsay. Hi. And her boyfriend, Ryan. boy who found Jack on the zone yeah totally on his own yeah just watching which yeah yeah we were asked if you brought the drink which we brought the beer we don't know where with that solely yeah they brought the dischutes oh yeah well okay so do we talk or can we play pinball all of the above yeah but first I have to tell whoever's watching I am old and slow I'm lousy nobody cares okay part of the job of working in a pinball company is you must play pinball there during part of the design process some of you've heard this we have to play 15 minutes a day and that's so we can percentage it I play my 15 minutes and I bring the percentages down but if there's a purpose in this most of our games are in bars. If not in your homes, they're in bars all over the world. We're more than half-operated games, half-homeowners, less than half-homeowners. Bars have people who drink beer. Oh, yeah. I represent Sober, the guy who's had a bucket and a half. That's how I play. I'm old and slow. I'm going to fall. I need to do something. Okay. Why do we have the keyboard? Oh, this is how I can drive this stuff. You know, you're like, hey, we're going to an intermission. Or now we can look at the freaking play field and places. Can you see how many people are watching? There's about 154 right now. And does this get re-broadcast to other people? People can host us so that it shows on their stuff. And then this broadcast also is backlogged so people can go back and watch it. So you can go back and critique how you played and figure out what you did wrong. Oh, God. Like, wait. We are on free play. We don't usually have ball saves or extra balls or anything like that turned on, but I didn't have time to turn any of that stuff off. To me, it doesn't matter. First rule of pinball is keep the ball on the plate until second row score a point. you people it's make all these modes and everything you think you think everyone on the internet real now that's me how about how about this man that's actually my friend will Which one? Oh, I was wondering why you put that on. Hi, Mia. Alright, brother, we'll pair it up. I bought some shoes. You guys can sit down and do anything. So, you guys related clips? Well, apparently not. For those of you who are in Chicago, it rained. Yeah. People should get hot and dry. Alright. I haven't played this game in a long time. I haven't played it in a long time. No, I haven't. I don't even remember. To be honest, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. Oh, I don't have to know rules and stuff. I have to know where the points are. But I don't remember what I do for Martha. I've done a lot. I don't have to read. Do you feel good? Yeah. I feel good. I remember that. I hope nobody from work is watching this. And that was what my dad did. He was really like, he was really like, he started out hustling for a little bit. And then I was like, maybe he should move a little bit more to the left. But then, so she was having such a long time. She was like, I made it terrible. She was like, Oh! That's okay, brother. We had a pool table in the basement. And its purpose was... To hold your clothes. No. No. My younger, older daughter's friend brought a ping pong table top over. I'm sorry, I'm busy. Oh, yeah, you can lay those down on there. Yeah, well, that's what you play beer for. When it went away, I had to cut plywood sheets for this one to put on the table. Who's the second player? Dude, you've done in one ball what I couldn't for the last hour. Gary, what pins do you own, is asking the internet. Oh, I own, I own, well, I got one of these in the factory, and I got a lot in the factory. They're home right now. I don't have one, because I have a small apartment in the city, but I am taking home, I'm probably talking too loud. I am taking home a Game of Thrones, because I am, Steve Ritchie is out there. It is absolutely fantastic. Right on. I'm going to take home a pro. First of all, I'm more of a pro player than deep into the more advanced games. But also, I can't get an LE. They're sort of in great demand. And I don't want to wait for a premium. So I'm taking home a pro. You want it now. That's it. Yeah, that's it. Oh, it's Brazilian. Yeah. Which is, you know, at the end of the month, we'll start selling export orders, and then off we go domestically with a pro, and then sometime soon with the later in October with the limited edition. I was just, you know, hoping you'd ride up here in a big truck with a big old Game of Thrones in tow. Well, we'll have to bring one down here. No, you'll work. That's what they used to call Las Vegas, kidding on the square. Who's the third player? We put four up. It's a very slow way to play. All right. Put your ear down. Thank you. We put pinball. Oh, I was about to say, you got pinball. Oh, yeah, that's smart. Okay. The machines that are leaving are the ones that don't have pinball. You see, real pinball is the ball. Yeah. That's what pinball really is. Gary is killing it. Yes, Gary is killing it. This is not fair! Wait, wait, wait. Okay, I really look better than that. The internet is asking if you were going to have Game of Thrones at next year. Wait, wait, wait. Or play Ryan. Ryan. Oh, of course we will. Of course we will. Of course we will. We'll be shipping before that. I am going to go... I have to leave Sweden for the... for the European IAPA show, which is called the ES show. So on the way there, I'm going to go to Belgium, which is where the European IAPA, European... Shut down, man. I'll go stop there. I've never been on the stage that I wanted to be because of Tim Gossman. Please are holding this during the informal. I'm first. I'm up. You're also destroying all of us from the... Yeah, well, that's luck. I'm not playing the second game. Dad, folks, we wanted to know what your favorite game is. My favorite game? Okay, I can answer that. I'm trying to think of what we were building today. I think we were making some Metallica premiums, so therefore that's my favorite game. Typically, it's always what's on the line. I wouldn't make it if I didn't like it. That's a great answer. Pretty soon it's going to be a game of thrones. Everyone's asking when the My Little Pony pinball machine is coming out. Oh, did you see the... Roni, Roni, yeah. We created like a BS graphic for an announcement for Stern. And the internet was wrong. Like in a good way. In a good way. In a very good way. Well, when we were at the licensing show, Jody and I, he took pictures of me in front of all kinds of people. It was the best way to poke people. People were having a great time. He did take my picture in the throne, but he didn't show it. Hold it, hold it. Hold it, we're over a second. You've got to wait. See, I did lousy on that one because there's busy talking. Wait, Nintendo's K-360 has a discussion. What's your proudest accomplishment at David Easton's Sega? No, no, no. We will be 30 years old next year. That is amazing. There's a lot of other great companies that made pinball. They were public companies maybe that wasn't a big enough business for them. We were tenacious enough to stay with it through a lot of ups and downs. we have a lot of great people who make their living but it's their living it's more their application they are pinball people that was very well stop listening to me and pay attention because if you don't pay attention they lose a year off how much we play for? I forgot the answer no we're getting the practice games in then the dollars come out I'm going to see how much you share if you carry that I'm actually proud Gary needs to read those I can use the practice games That was a biker noise. Ryan, you're up. No, wait a minute. You have to turn balls over. See, they play like professionals, so they turn off all the balls. I am very upset. All right. Okay. So, Ryan, you're up. All right. You're coming for foolishness. All right, this is where you tear it up. So what's the deal with Lizzie? You play better when you're drunk, Dad. I double clutch better when I have had a few drinks. Well, I did not know that. Double clutch? No, that's... She wouldn't. Can you still double clutch at home? We're doing a new and modern thing. You can. Yeah. Double clutch. Yeah. That's how you jam it in place a little over here when it's not synchronous. Do you know Jack Fessman? Yeah, Jack Fessman. You're a great wrestler. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Bitwise was first with the Catholic. Oh, that's awesome. I think Bitwise is looking for a job. Bitwise? Do I know who Bitwise is? Who are you with, though? Tell us who you really are. Bitwise, give me your social security number. We'll also need some bug samples. I wish I could see the food bowl and the writing book in my eyes. I can't play food bowl. My one year anniversary of doing this streaming stuff comes up in a week. I will be in San Francisco for the big convention for the streaming website. Oh yeah, okay. But it's not due... like when is Expo this year? October? Yeah, October 15th, 16th, 17th. Expo will be at an event, like our very first big thing we ever did was Dream Walking Dead. Oh, okay. That's that old. Okay. Yeah, I've come back from my early childhood. Now, so you're going to be the Amazon that ever... Yeah, there's like a big TwitchCon convention happening in my home. My earlier course was getting a great deal of attention from Mark. Mark used to work for us. Mark was the software engineer at the time. He worked with us. We started a company. And he was... I love him. The M.A.T.? Thank you for coming! It's very, very fun. Oh, really? I'll check it out. The cool thing about the Twitch content is that if you want, come to Facebook, Cisco, and set up your thing in a corner, we'll find you a part of the thing. And I'm like, well, my streaming isn't just playing a computer game. I need to actually love, like, someone. Like a quickie. I'm not going to find someone willing to drop a machine off for me in San Francisco to creep out. Well, I mean, unless we're talking to the man over here. Do you know someone? Yeah. We've got some operators there. Bartimus, thank you for subscribing. I love you. Ladies and gentlemen, can I get some flippers and butts up, please? Flippers and butts for Bartimus. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, those are mine. Those are your butts, Buck Honey. So if you subscribe to me, I like slippers and like slipper things that you can put in the show, like if people want to brag about how bad you did, you know, through graphics. But I also put butts in there just because the internet like... It's fantastic. It's fantastic. I love the butts in other comics. I have them. So Deadfoot started off as just a pinball league and I developed this like streaming thing. For once, I actually... Look at him, and I think how great I am just by looking on the Internet. My buddy Nick now lives in Michigan. He got married. My buddy Dave got married. Cleveland, yeah. Whoa! What the hell happened here? Whoa, wait. What the hell happened here? What the heck happened here? I got... No, it wasn't this way. multiball, multiball. And I pretended that I... I haven't moved since the first ball. so we're quiet he's quietly playing while we're all that's right, focus focus, like you guys are chatting and drinking in the background bring it in, bring it in 178 people on the middle of the screen wait, actually I think I brought the bottle in the vodka condition what? oh, there Gary, the vodka is in here though yes, I knew that I knew that. I was right over there. Jack, what's Gary's favorite curse word? Um... You can... I'll make up for it later. Gary doesn't curse. He doesn't eat you. He just gives you a squirt of ice. Whoa! I got your name up there! He won't stop saying it, actually. I blew it. I blew it. That's done. All right. All right. Number two. Number two. Number two. Jack, turn down the music on the table so we can hear you guys talk. Is it too loud? Cool? There. You're fine. That should be fine. Gary Stern is a saint. Okay. I used to wear all my friends in high school had pants that they wore around school that but Gary started my hero. That was my hero. Yeah, I'm going to turn it back up. This is too quiet. It's hard to play with that. What a great stream tonight. Thanks, Bartimus. Thanks for resubscribing, buddy. You can return my calls. We'll make out sometime. Whoever you are. I'm not picky. Alright. This ramp is so freaking challenging. I love it Like it's deep I haven't seen anything that speak in a very long time Yeah, we're going Something nobody can do keep them. I don't even know what's happening. Oh Jason. We're drink Thanks Gary for giving me a ride home from the airport. Oh Oh, God. That was years ago. Wait, would you give her a hand, Walt? Can't you word trick? Is it someone you know? Yeah, word trick's the... I have his playing card on my fridge. Yeah, he... Does he live in Park Ridge? I don't know. I haven't been to his house. You live in Park Ridge? It's your turn. It's your turn. That's right. My now wife knew... Word trick way before I did because of my real estate. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. because of my real estate stuff. Was it coming from a apartment or something? I can't remember. You remembered! You remembered! You remembered! You remembered! I remember. I remember. Uh, Ryan just slaying right now. Yeah, he's the winner. That's not going to last for long. We'll keep trying. We'll try to win after the game. Yeah, Doug. Let's go ahead and play. You got to play. Yeah, man, because there aren't many who's care about this. So it would be really definitely awesome. Yeah. Not for long. I can tell you that much. It'll be short-lived victory like that. Oh, you'll get that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm Twitch Pinball. Oh, that's probably the greatest phone call ever. Something Twitch Pinball. Gary can't, it's against Twitch rules. What, take your shirt off? I don't even know. Show us your melon. Oh, come on. Oh, that's that game. The fun thing about the internet is... You don't have to read everything that it says right there. I'm still going to read it. I'll consider it. Jack won't let me, though. Toxic Alien, how are you doing, buddy? Jack, are you going to have the Stern clan sign your machine? Well, being that this machine still belongs to Stern, they can do whatever the hell they want to. Yeah, you can sign his own machine. I feel like you did, though, with this video. Right, it's pretty much already on here. He's talking about my little pony on the phone right now. Exactly. So, okay. Since you won, you're going to go first. Gary's on the phone, but he should be going second. I'll go third, and then you go last. Yeah. We try to give the person that didn't do so hot the advantage of going last. Okay, cool. What does that mean? That means I will go last in this game. You go first, my friend. Four people. Keep it going. Keep it going. Keep it going. There you go. I work for a gaming company called Zingbox. Yes, wait, what do they make that is super popular? Farmville? Farmville, I work with Farmville. Oh, yeah. And I work on, they have hot dogs. Oh, yeah. They have like, hidden oranges. Are you a pro? No, no. I want to go with White. Oh, nice. White? Alright. Ooh. Um, I shall go next. Your father, if he makes it back, will go third. If not, you shall take his place. Doctor of Stern. So the city does nothing except for call-outs now, which is pretty rad. What? Call? So like if you're in Chicago, it's like, Oh hi Chicago, what's up? Yeah! Unless it just says that every time you play. I don't know. Good times. Whatever. What foot disease? The internet is truthful about everything, I swear. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. You read it on the internet, it's true. Someone who still has a job at Zango, what do you mean? Oh, internet. Did the skitties ever do anything? No. Now I think it's just collage right now. But you never know in the future. Obviously they're going to make Chicago the most lucrative one. Yeah, who else is that good a guy? Yeah. Oh, but... It's worth a deuce! This song just reminds me of pooping at all times. What's up, buddy? Make sure to follow, man. Apparently you guys, this thing called the demon multiball, you can do it with that. It's kind of scary, but it's not called a pinball. That is, uh... It's sarcasm. See, look, if this thing is there, that means immediate sarcasm. It's some guy that used to work at Twitch and now they use his face as sarcasm. Yeah, and like, she's like not so happy about it. I'd love it man, that's hilarious. Oh, I'd love it, it's great. It's worth a do. Something's happening. Poins are coming. So Ryan, where do you, do you normally play pinball brother? So I play pinball because of her. Okay. No actually both of you, I don't know if you're doing chat or not, but she has a dude on at home. Oh nice. And that's where I first really kind of played it a lot. Now of course his dad has gotten me at it and we're not worthy but. Yeah that's kind of how it got started and then we started dating a little more than a year and a half ago. and she destroyed me in pinball on our first date. Well, yeah, but they tried to teach me pool, which didn't work out. And you're like, no, this isn't a thing. Check this out. Pinball. But then our next date, I was like, I'd have to school you in front of the Redfield Road. And I pretty much got up on the first ball and I was like, yeah, check that out. It was like a million. And then, like, first ball, she was like, 28 million. And I was like, alright, I'll sit down. Yeah. Don't play for money, Jack Steves. Was this death saving? Well, death saves aren't allowed, but if you're playing for money, you're already breaking the rules. So I have to play for money? Yeah. It's just all about keeping the ball alive, kid. Whoooooo, crap. Yeah, I would, uh, I'd be all about doing some animations this turn. I did in the past do some, I did the Wicked Witch animations on Wizard of Oz, the pinball machine, for Jersey. I've done, I helped John Papadiuk a little bit with Magic Girl before that turned into a catastrophe. But I have not worked with Stern yet. He's alright. He's alright, dude. No big deal. Let's get a Gary Stern Teenage Pinball. I think that's a great pinball machine in the making. Heck yeah. All white. All white. All white, yes. All white, sponsored by Stoli. You can knock down the Stoli cup. Yes, this is being made immediately. So if we could get like a demo reel for the animation. Yeah, right. Ah, butts. Stay alive. Oh long ball, here we go. I wonder if I'm mad at anyone for working with Jersey Chips. Pinball, right? Guys, pinball isn't a big enough industry to get mad at people. Can't burn too many bridges. With bobbleheads. Yeah, like, wait, with my bobblehead. I don't know. Uh, yeah, Lindsay, take it over. Not only did I get $28 million. Yeah, multiball. Alright. But, like, I, okay. That's how I ended up for $35 and that was the first time. Blackout multiball. Yeah, that's it. Please dance with the ladder, thanks. Uh, guys, we have guests, so I'm not going to do any ladder dancing. Your part. Not many guests left right now? I don't know that. Uh, I'm going to get a beer. Yeah, me too. Do you need one? Yeah. Alright Internet, he's gone. Say what we will now. We should focus. No, I have to distract you. You're on it now. No! You see what Will said? It's okay, Lindsay. Why don't you try to play? That hurt. Okay. Alright. Guys, riot! Dad's gone, uh oh! Your dad's sitting... He found my vest. And he's sitting at my chair. Is he going to your paper? My mouth is like... He's rioting and like, going off of your own mouth. Like, uh... Nah, this is all wrong. No, I'm here. No, what I was pointing out was you have all the chairs. I'm sitting in the chair. I'm sure it's the best one. Who's up there? I am. I'm up. Oh, shit. Who's who? That's me. I screwed up. Yeah. Everything belongs to Gary. You're right. I'm sorry. Gee, I don't remember. I need one of the guys here to tell me what I'm doing. That guy. The only thing I'm doing is getting multiball and calling it a day. I think that seems to be the winning strategy. Yeah, well it is, you know, unless you're really... I got a light locked. Oh, thanks Friggers, I appreciate the, uh... Oh! ...strategy, man. Gary, favorite GE or Sega pin? Interesting. Uh... He's trying to destroy us guys, hold on. You're distracting me. Wait, I should answer the question, it gives me an excuse. God damn it. God damn it. Ah! It looked like a seal. living like a seal my favorite stirring forever and I could never find it with stargazer here I think this is me right? me right? Ah, you're first. The late James Earl of Phoenix? Yeah. And he really doesn't mind. He has pinball. He doesn't acknowledge. He is a damn good mechanical engineer. Oh, no. So this is a children's charity that has pinball and a couple of arms projects. And I raised $20,000 for them in about two hours. for their rent, and they have to make a draw for them. Do you know about this charity thing? I don't have any. Pinball Outreach Project? Pinball Outreach Project? So the primary stream in the pinball outreach project is pinball. Yeah. Who's that? It's me. Oh, it's me. Thank you so much. All right, let's cheer it up. Do you want me to shoot the ball for you? Oh, God. That would be an interesting way to compete. Let someone else play for you. Yeah, no kidding. Wait, did that term come about because of pinball? Level the playfield? I'm guessing no, but it makes a lot of sense. It is now. Yeah. We've reclaimed the term now. Listen, anything you say on the internet becomes truth. So, like, guys, hey, did you know that the term level the playfield became a thing? after the first pinball machine came out. You get up! All right, we are missing all the things. Abraham Lincoln playing the first pinball machine. Yes. Who played the first pinball? Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln. Actually, I did. The first pinball was probably shortly after. It was back to Bagatelle. It was 1980s. It was a French, who's up? Yeah, that's you. Too many buttons. Yeah, it goes back to... Too many. It was sort of a one-sided... It was the first player, okay. Why are you doing that? No, no, Jax doing it. Yeah, Jax is trying that. And I'm in far the last place. What was the first pinball game... Wait, what was your first pinball game to ever play? Mine? God, I don't know, man. I mean, I could have been like two and played a pinball game, I don't know what it would have been. I actually did get one for like my second birthday, there's one of those basket ones. Oh yeah! I want to stream one of those one day. I think you probably need to adjust your setup a little bit to that. That might be on the floor. I'm prepared. Put it on top of the other floor. Ah, trying something. Gary is, oh sorry, we'll wait until Gary's done playing Ask a Question. They know to ask right when you step up to the camera. You guys are really hyped about this My Little Pony thing. Well it's coming out in a few months. I'm gonna use the announcement. Oh, there you go buddy. Checked all the uh, everything's nice. Yeah. I designed the machines, um, the animation proof shit. Well, they're written for you. For a player like me who just swiped between the flippers, there's you guys who are good. You're aiming at everything. We're trying to survive. Oh! I don't know what I'm supposed to do. No, still waiting for cover. Good players, really good players in multiball. Hey, don't like, strap up and think about it. Yeah. Oh, he might be a little bit faster. Oh! Did you say multiball? I wasn't even in there. multiball is actually... No, but I can't remember. Remember, I'm too old to remember anything. I'm sure you remember. You guys were talking about Easter eggs. This is it. I'm Gary Blades. No, I'm not. There probably is an Easter egg in here somewhere. But it ain't mine. Uh-oh. Motherball's over. Now what? I need that ramp. No, too late. I missed it. Oh, shit. Gary Nugget equals good player. I'm not much of a nugget. I know. I'm here. It looks like you're moving the crap out of it. Okay, got it. I can't remember and I can't read the goddamn thing. It's not my glasses. What's going on? What will the next thing be for Stern after GOT? Guys, GOT just got a note. Oh, oh, oh, but I could have saved it. It was my fault. It was not quite straight down. Someone has a username, wetbuttonbees. And by the way, my favorite game on the entire internet. Who's first player? That would be Ryan. That's me. Oh, you're soft as can. I at least a tough guy There you go No this is both of us We both in that same miserable boat It the same thing It's the same thing. So, why is he still not getting trouble here at College College? Lindsay was in college. And she was talking to his sister Erin, who was older. over. And then she says, oh, somebody's at the door. They're delivering my pinball machine. I gotta go. And Erin says, what? She says, they're delivering my pinball machine. Click. Ding, ding, ding. That's Erin calling me. Lizzie got a pinball machine. I didn't get a pinball machine. How come she got a pinball machine? Big trouble. Big trouble. So then, So then, Lindsay had the pinball, we shipped it from IU back to Chicago where she was living and it got lost for a couple of months. Uh oh. Well, it got to me though. No, it got lost when it got to you. What machine was it? Uh huh. What machine was it? A Batman. Oh, hey. So then, she moved. So now, they can't take the machine. That's just because she's a big boy. No, like, they're taking it. No, they couldn't. Oh no. No. So Erin calls me, can I, in Lindsay's case, can I have the triple ball with you? So then, so then, so I said, okay, fine. Lindsay calls me, you gave away my triple ball. So I was in trouble with Erin, and then I was in trouble with Lindsay. I said, someday when you get a bigger house place, we'll get one. She had tournaments, she got a high score on them. Oh, like I did an experiment? Like I did a people walk. Ladies and gentlemen. You went to your house. Great kid. You met him. Yeah. Great kid. And he would go all the time. No, no. I'm just saying. He wasn't in the forest. That was his golden promise. He went to the forest preserve. He was in the environmental stuff. He ran by people. And then he asked, did you go to work for any parks here? Yeah. And I never heard from him. He said he parked one here for a while. Who is it? And I never heard from him. That's the guy who he was like, ring the bell in our Indiana news. So you contacted him, that's right. And I contacted him, and I'm like, hey, my dad likes football. All right, this one goes to Jeff. I think, now, Gary's still got a ball. Gary's still got a ball. Start a family argument. Give everything for the minibus. What was that? Start a family argument. Yeah, family argument. Oh, geez. Start a family argument. Day one. Yep. Ladies and gentlemen. When we left. You know, we have... What you should have brought over is you should have borrowed our 78 bills. Oh, God. We got the right one. It's a pretty nice one. Oh, I thought. I was there. It's like, isn't it right next to your other place? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's beautiful. I had that bumper when we started. You guys gotta have my here. And it's the same artist, Kevin O'Connor. Yeah, you have the same pop-up for cats. Same pop-up for cats. The back lamp is actually very, very similar. Yeah. And the pose is the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. It's the same. and the poses are a little different, but it's similar. They actually kissed one of the same artists. That's awesome. That is really awesome. That's a little factoid for you all pinball people. Kissed one of the same artist, Kevin O'Connor, who did the game. I kind of dig that where the licensees were. Where did he meet her? Like Metallica, they wanted their own artist. C&K only have one answer, so make it count. I don't think it'd be very nice if you had a favorite employee. That's a question. I have favorite employees. You can't not have favorite employees. You can't tell anybody. No, I have a favorite employee. Okay, that's care number one. He is an employee. Shelly Stacks has been with me for 30-some years. Well before this comes. Since 1980, they're bond bouts. We love you, Shelly, if you're watching. Aw, is he still in the parking? Alright, give it back! The feed, the feed! Aw, there's a slow-on from him. Quiddly Dee! Quiddly Dee! Thank you for the ball, buddy. Quiddly Doo! Can he have the ball to the Kitter Machine? No, no. Oh, Jesus! I do have a legit question. Are those Sternworks shirts for the anniversary ever going to be made again in any way? I want one badly and pissed out. Oh, the short-sleeved button shirts? I think I know what you're talking about. The shirt should mean, I want one. So I don't get any of that stuff. I get shirts that you wear at trade shows. This is short-sleeved because it's for China. I'm going to die here in a moment. Long sleeve. This is my kind of work. It's first brothers. There you go. 49, I'll take it. Yeah. All right, so that goes Jack, Gary, who was third? Lindsey and Ryan, as I called it before. Wait, so I was third place? Yeah. At least. Alright. We're doing the Pinbird rules. So if you get first place, you get three points. The points mean nothing is pretty much whose line is it anyway. So go ahead and throw four people in. Oh, someone asked for more drinks with us in the future. We are fun, but we're having fun. I'm glad you are. It's not that I don't care. I mean, we make these gigs because we want you to have fun. Guys, listen, Gary and I are coming out with a TV show where we ride motorcycles across the country. Whoa, that's... Let's go. I'm bounced. But I can't ride your bike, I guess. You can just get on the back of mine and mine will look great. That's going to show up on the internet tomorrow. We're not talking anymore. Immediately, conversation over. Lindsay won't ride the T-Mobile. Fair enough. You've never been on my new bike. No, first of all, this is, I mean in a car, he's the worst driver in the world. Are you ruining my game? He once hit a cop who was in an undercover car and the cop got out and was like, you've hit me. And he was like, how do you know you need to stop the car or something like that? And the cop was like, I'm a cop. And he was like, I hate you. Yeah, okay. You're right. You're right. Whatever you said, buddy. He was a cop detective with a PhD. He wasn't undercover. His Mercedes was being fixed. And he had a loan thing. And he had a loan thing. And luckily I got a lot of these scarves because you would distract me. What model of Harley? I have an 04 Harley Road King. With about 16 inch ape hangers and everything chromed out. Even the freaking floorboards are chromed out. Yeah, and Road Kings are a little big for me. He has Road Kings Classic, which is my favorite bike. I have a Heritage Softail, a 2011 Heritage Softail, and I've got a City Bike. I haven't ridden at all, but it's a sports car, 1200 feet. Second player. I love sports cars, and fortunately, I am just too big to do sports cars. I can't fit in any of them. Who's third player? Third player. My mom told me you were my father. You're not that bad. You are Batman's dad. It's a dark night. Okay. Who's the third player? I'm trying to take the link. I gotta turn this off. Well, the kids are here. Someone left a donation for the message. Ghostface, thank you for your donation. It was terrifying. Um, where's the URL? Just try not to read the internet. It would be more exciting actually if he does. Oh my God. He's right, it's the exaggeration. Oh, that was so weird. Alright, alright. Alright, Mama, have a good one. So Mama's gift to you right there is, he lives in Budapest. Oh, he lives in Budapest. The guy with the red mayhem. Nice. Okay, I went to, you know, Zen from, oh, yeah, that's twice now. Wasn't it where your mom was just a Buddha? Yeah, she was. Yeah. For a land. I thought so. No, no, no. I was a Buddha. And I went to a pinball. Put nine years in my head. A Buddha? Yeah. Yeah. There was a pinball. So anywhere the pinball machine or disease complains that there are those. There aren't a lot there. But our, we sell about, for operations to Blue Box, they're meeting at gary.stern and stern.com. We sell probably of each model, half a small container, we have 15 games of the model there. And they operate them. Oh, you're up there. Kill it. ACDC is the best. ACDC is a very good seller. His company is a company whose factory is, which I will answer and say it's much better. Oh, yeah. He has a walk-in closet and a bathroom in his office. Which I don't use. I prefer to... The public. Okay. My partner thought... That should be cross-fitched. Okay, wait a minute. There's something about... It's good to have collisions where people get together, they're running to each other they talk yeah and Dave gave my partner's idea was it well as a coffee all in the kitchen the kitchen will be it's his kitchen be the collision room the actual collision room is a mail room it's the men's room so I I prefer not to use my private bathroom but I go to the collision room so I could run into people and talk. Nice. Yeah, this office. That is now the great name for the committee room. This was actually all like offices and stuff, and I poured everything out so that everyone was working in the same space. Yeah, yeah. Because no one wants to be like, you know, if you're sitting in an office all by yourself, depending on like your hospital. Oh, yes. And then you miss out on it. That's boring. I'll say it's boring. My office is also my office. Yeah, Ryan works in offices. Me with the people, Gary for President. Oh, I see. Me with the people, Gary for President. Which is very, very, uh, thank you. Work is a home, I've done that. And it's a great skill to go to work. Me with the people. I said it's a great skill. That would be me. Well, we actually have a great working class. What do you do, programming? I'm in IT. Oh, IT. Hell yeah. old Maddie, good old Maddie oh, hard dog, that's a little good that's really a commitment hard dog oh yeah, so she she lays by your knee now you're going to get your own dog Gary has spoken you shall get your own dog Oh my god, she's all for the floor right now. That's hilarious. Who's strong enough to do that? What do you do for a living? I'm an animator by trade. I've been an animator for close to 15 years. And I've had this studio for about 5 years. opened it up with a bunch of really good people and I'm just making all those commercials you guys turn off all the time. And my little funny machines. And my little funny pinball machines. Who's that? Player 3. Is that me? Yep, that's you. Your followers, audience, whatever you call them, are very nice. Not too nice. Too busy talking to pay any attention. You can stop and run, that's just pinball to me, I'm not a pinball guy. The thing I like most about streaming pinball is, like, when people come in here, it is just people hanging out. You want to read as much as you can, but usually it's just, yeah, you're supposed to be playing. Don't you do most of that stuff with your two alums? It would be me by myself, and I'm trying to invite, like, artists and bands and stuff to come in here. Like, when Ryan says it's going on, on the one star, three months in a row, thank you for maintaining membership. Totally glad you're here on. Bust the numbers up, please! Um, I'll just keep my people on the line. It's good, yeah, it's pretty good. And I usually get a lot of people that have nothing to do with pinball, they don't know what the hell it is, but play and they're like, this is great. And then, like, three weeks later they're like, there's a pinball machine in the bar down the street, you gotta check it out. And I'm like, that's exactly what I'm looking for. So you can keep going to this stuff. Sorry for yelling. I apologize. My ears! My ears! Flippers and butts, nerds. Flippers and butts. I love you, buddy. I hear the suckers getting drunk. Which should be better. Wait, what? I only get better when I'm intoxicated. It's like bowling. I don't know. I've never been. I'm going to switch over to... What do you plan to do at TwitchCon considering having a table there to stream on would be unlikely? Uh, I don't know, Barbara. We'll see. We're out of here. We'll see if Gary can sneak some strings to be pulled. What did he want? What did he want? Oh, they're just wondering what I'm going to do at that Twitch convention if I can't get it. Oh, no, you need to have a table. You need to do this. You need to do it. You've got to give me the information on it. Email and go. Email Jody and me. Man, I'm going to sort that out. There's a good thing Jody, there's a good chance Jody's watching. Jody, if you're there, he may be busy with his kids. Dammit, Jody. Jody. Yeah, I know. That's my child. That's my child telling about me. I made the ramp you like. I just made the ramp you like. I think we gotta go farther back. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, that's what we can do. You like the show? Ah, man. We want to give a shout out to... Whoo! One... Two... Three... Gary has spoken. Make it so. Ha ha ha. Ah! I didn't know that! How did you know that? Gary, make JetFlip the envy of all the video game streamers. We're doing a pretty good job, guys. We're doing a pretty good job. I don't know any other video game streamers. You work with Lethal Frag sometimes, right? So, Lethal Frag, him and I are meeting up at TwitchCon to battle. So, that's how Ryan found you. Oh, nice! I told you that you should leave a pinball club. He wanted a video too, a pinball video. I just happen to have a crap load of room with people that need to play some pinball. Yeah, so why not? But Lethal Frag is a guy who, he sort of, like Papa put pinball on this whole streaming thing. But Lethal Frag figured out how to make it sexy looking, and I figured out how to make it super interactive. and we're all just sort of... Not Jack versus Lethal Frag. Lethal Frag's my boy. But Lethal Frag and I are going to be screaming a battle against each other in San Francisco, depending on if we can find something to do that. No, we only need the one. I'm into it. It is the 25th, I think. I think that's in this month. September? Yeah, I know. Give me a lot of time to look at it. Listen, Gary's the man. He'll figure it out. We're all good here. Which is also, uh, uh, Sexy Flip is that thing. Oh, really? That's a French show. Ooh. I need to go to some of these overseas tournaments, man. Some of these shows and stuff. Eventually. You're welcome. You're welcome. The show's taking off and uh... Lindsey just tired me out and said she needs to go too. Alright, so you're gonna buy Lindsey and I a ticket to France. Lindsey is on the football at that stage. I'm not the one. I was at the conveyor belt for the TV. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. He was at a trade show in Israel. Your name Pounce? Yo Pounce, are you gonna buy a Pounce? I was working. You can't go to a trade show. A trade show. One bed of chairs, please. Yeah, live! I'll take it. How about Norway? Yeah, let's go to Norway. What's in Norway? Not much. I don't know. Hold down. There is a wonderful beautiful event in Norway that's been to us that I know of. We have a very good friend, Ulam, also known as Ali, but his name is Ulam. He is a white Queen Elizabeth. I can't That's a great name, Queen Elizabeth. Well, she's Elizabeth, she's the queen, and not just that. Fair enough. Look, you look like... like a young street urchin that turned into a very magical... I just want to put your phone right now. Like, dude, I'm just trying to keep you in. I got a bartender in there who is the dog in family guys. There you go. And your other bartender is Mark. Yeah, he's Karl Marks. So he's a Karl Marks. That's a great way to remember names. The only thing is I can't remember which is which. Are you Karl and Mark? No. I'm terrified how you remember my name. Right, you know that... Am I? I don't think so. Someone named Awkward Boner wants you to know that, Gary, they love you. I think the entire internet feels the same. Awkward Boner? Awkward Boner. But they love you. Well, they're very awkward. They appreciate you and that's awkward. gentlemen it's not that hard to hear what I'm saying do you know awkward boner 2? or 3? or 4? I mean are there multiple awkward boners? the answer to that is yes but are there multiple people using there has to be the best thing I've ever heard do you know awkward boner 1? the second the second awkward boner what happened Um, it is your... Alright, I'm three. I'm three? You're doing very well. Wait, that can't be me. I don't think I was doing so well. Okay. Um, LCD displays on future titles, Team Gary. That's probably... But things... We got tater salad, fix the screen cam, it's fine. Oh, sorry, the DMD got moved. Return of the outward motor. Patience is a virtue. There you go. Because it has to be done right. Not a big TV screen. It has to be done right. Absolutely. So we've done a few things and discarded them. Amoroku says thank you for keeping pinball alive, Gary. I totally agree. Thank you. I'm not. The idea is important. Modernize. But the game is still on the plate. Yeah, absolutely. And we have to have a game that is both a pro for the casual player, whether we have games on the street, operators use games, and a more detailed and inclusive game, premium and LE, for the enthusiasts, although some of our pros are really great games for enthusiasts. Gary, can I work with you to figure out how to put inputs on this so we can stream directly from, like, the DMD? I think pinball streaming is going to turn into a huge thing. I really hope so. With Spike, there's so much more we're going to be able to do. Excellent. Spike is a scalable, Spike is our new electronic system. I updated the code on this. It's a cute little thing. Oh, it's teeny-dee-dee. But the board's here. It's a bus system instead of a matrix system. And so it will... Sorry. Ask him at his time. Alright. Who cares? Lindsay, why don't you start us off? Lindsay's first. Metallica Pro is amazing. I completely agree, Waterfella. Yes, I do. Although I have to say, there's something magical about, like, when you come out with a game. Like, when I played Walking Dead when it first came out, it was a fun game. Now I want to play Walking Dead after all the code updates. That game is... We just did the Walking Dead code update. That's the game that you just had here at the studio that we replaced with his game. It is what Lyman has done. So anybody who didn't get one because they were making... Yeah, you know, we have them. We're still making them. We are like prior pinball manufacturers. We don't give up much. We keep making them. I like this. Jack, talk more shop. Gary, give him a job. Gary, you're right. I'll kill it. Company, you're right. Yeah. Animation is very lucrative, I have to say. I have to say. I guess I could make pinball maybe as much money as that is doing out there. Me too! I have people that run this for me. How many people do you have here? It scales between 6 and 12 people depending on how big the jobs are. How do you do on filing? What freelancers you can find? I'm friends with all the freelancers from Chicago because I was one for many years. Ah, Jesus Christ. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. 2015 is a good year for Jack to help with the planning. Were you over today picking the game up or did somebody else pick it up? I had someone else pick it up because I was actually swamped with work today. So I really need to see if there's something you can do for us because we do need more people doing stuff. I'll holler about it. If you need voice actors, hell, you can take my photo and put it out on the street. I'll do whatever you want, buddy. I think it's more animation than voice acting. Unless you're an approved sound. You keep talking to me and I blow my game every time. Then it's working. Can you fire up Stargazer before I leave? Absolutely. Yeah, I've got to fire up Stargazer. I think Lord Clifford might be a touch weak, but it's still playable. Okay. Who would be second? I shall go first. But I want to play Stargate because it's been a lifetime since I've seen one. God, that game is so good. We're not going to scream it. Oh, no, no, no. I'm just going to fight it. Yeah. That game is phenomenal. Phenomenal. Ladies and gentlemen, obviously Chicago. And obviously... Dude. Oh, wait. I've got to interrupt you. And here we are in the back. Oh, God. In the back. Are you guys ready? I got a warning. I got a warning. I got a warning. I got a warning. Yeah, we got the George Gomez one. Do you know who designed Daddy Simpson's? Simpson's? Which one? The Daddy East one. The first one. Yeah. Joe ran the studio, and it was all pretty much done. Okay. Under his direction. Whether he had... Borgie was coming up at the time. Oh yeah, do you need a new pinball designer? I'm more than happy to figure that out. The answer is that at some point, we'll need some younger guys. I'm sure. Oh, it's your turn, I think. It is my turn. I don't believe it. Pair to be underwhelmed. Yeah, I love Morgan. I love going out to launch parties with him and he's like, I'm not allowed to smoke cigarettes and I'm like, neither am I. Let's go to Steve's Cigarette House. Hang on, I'm just like, oh shit, I love people. I just want to tell them, they've got quite a designer. Yeah. He and I, we spent a lot of time going back and forth to Harley. Because he designed the Harley thing. Oh really? Yeah, he pulled it. Come on. Yeah, it was the second design. It was like a T-pass or something? Uh, we made that game from the 90's on. I don't know who won. Two and a half tips. Was that like your best-selling game, then? No, it was three. Who went first? It was a lot. Who's first? You, buddy. Because the score sucks. Totally all the scores are the same. Actually, I think ladies first. Oh, right. Ladies first. Yes, yes, yes. Ladies first. And then Jack, and then I've got it. Bringing up the rear terribly. He's playing for a more vault-edition game. I'm sorry, Lindsay. You were saying something to me, but I'll wait until you're done. No, someone just wanted to know. Yeah. Someone just wanted to know what you would want to design if you got your choice. Oh, um... For a pinball. I want to see a Lego pinball machine. Okay. Because everything is awesome. Yeah. Hold on, let's get away from the way. Oh my god! That's okay, you're still in business. I know. You're still in business. Wow. That's rough. Oh, this is awful. That's rough. That's rough. So that happened. You want a drink? This one's vodka. Whoa, 100 seconds. That's mostly vodka. That's a weak drink. It's mine, I've been drinking it. No, you're number two, you're number three. I've got several. I've got Boston. This is mostly Boston. A square ball for Lego. Hard, hard, hard. I've been talking secretly. It could either be an amazing thing or very bad. Yeah. That's an oxymoron. Yeah. Me talking secretly. Gary told me to stop staring at him. Jack's not coming back on screen. Gary just bought the screen guys, I'm out of here. Oh Jesus, come on, give it back to me. Right between that screen, I gotta learn not to do that. I had a good game at the beginning, I should have stopped then. No, he doesn't use suntan lotion, this is normal. And he gets it from being on his boat. I have a boat, a Harley, a convertible. Here. Look. That thing about you can't tell a book by its cover is wrong. You can't. You can't tell a book by its cover. Ugly. Beauty's only skin deep, but ugly's to the bone. Leafy. Beautiful. Okay. Oh, shit. Brutal. Donate to kids. What's your favorite machine to make Gary... A convertible Mercedes. It'd be okay. What? I don't believe Gary doesn't want you staring at him. Make a better life, G.E. Okay. What? Listen, you guys, are you drunk or am I drunk reading things? I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I can't hear you. Drunk Gary is a baller. There you go. That's right. He's not even drunk yet. No. Guys, what's drunk? Gary just gets better. Gary elevated. Transcended Gary. You guys have to understand that pinball comes from bars. You guys are pinball enthusiasts. You play in each other's houses. Thank you, water polo. But it's really all about who's up. I just played... Who's four? I'm four. Yeah. You're up. Cheers. Oh, you've got to get out the... I'm not wearing that ever again. I tried, guys. I was picking the songs. No, we're not even paying attention. No one's even paying attention. I know. We're like Black Diamond. I mean, honest to God, you know? Like that it is. Folks, I sure hope you're drinking along, because we're doing all the drinking for you. Go grab a beer or a soda. I don't care what you're trying to drink. I love you. Let's make out. Also, if we can get five more original subscribers, I think Gary will let me give him a piggyback ride. Someone's going to get the suit. Ladies first. Ladies first. I would never have that one. Gary isn't a rapper, he drinks stoli like a gentleman. Exactly. But you know what the best drink there is? Gin? Yeah! I love an extremely dirty martini, but I don't like to drink it out of a martini glass. It makes me feel ridiculous. But you drink vodka martini. Oh, I'm a vodka martini all day. Yeah. It's dirty. It's dirty. It's like vodka and olive. That's my life. There's nothing like a good blue cheese olive. Oh, my freaking God. That's where we spend all of our money is at. All of the blue cheese. Not the jarred ones, the ones that are out there. No, you don't have to send any money. Your game is broken. Just eat them as you keep going. Your game is broken. Taking back rides for everyone. Oh! The J.K. song is not in game. I don't know what you're talking about. Delicious gin. Pencil for Power Danger? I'm not wearing this Power Danger costume together as Frank does. Oh, wait, wait, please put it on. I heard him. Please, please, I'll only do it when we get one. Number one, way too appealing. Way too appealing. Ah, Jesus Christ. I'm done. I'm done. Stop talking. I'm done. What's your divide? What's your divide? That was much better. Gary? You can lose as Gary's friend. May I please have a job? Also, may I please give you a piggyback ride? He can lose. I mean, I guess I could be a range. How much is it? Are you a man or a pig? Piggyback rides, baby. Oh, Snowboarder 2017, you know? My dad's snowboard. Whoa, who's Snowboarder? Snowboarder is a good fan of the stream, for sure. He's a good snowboarder. He's got the noises when he does it, but it's good. Are they like karate noises? Yeah, it's like, oh, oh, watch out, watch out, it's coming! It's fantastic, it's fantastic. And I've seen all the people over. Lizzie, you're all the snowboarders. In a tuxedo. Yeah, actually, he did. He had my first wedding. What a chance. He had a snowboarder. And I fell. And he did. I got on birdie. I did not. I did not. I got on birdie. You did a good job. It was fantastic. You looked very good last week. The best look. The day before, your sister set me up with Dylan. She was afraid I was going to get lost or something. The box was big enough. It was a long run. I know. It was young. I almost got lost. Danger! Danger! That's his name. I'm sorry. I hit the game. So there's no more snowboarders anytime we go to Vail a lot. Where do you guys go? We'll meet you in Vail, snowboarder. Fourth. You're up front. Fourth? All right. We've been in Vail since 1978. And Lindsay and I just moved from Denver and went to Vail all the time. Colorado. Colorado, man. Whoa. Whoa man. EY, good job. Gary's turn, don't break my game. Hi. See guys, this is me calling you on your bluffs, you nerds. You're not Gary's nerds. Alright, now I'm going to have Josh Sharpe on the screen. Oh man. And we'll shut that down too. Alright, so ladies first, means ladies. One, two, three. That looks like my score. Then it goes Jack and Ryan. Guys, I wasn't last. Ryan, you got a point. Wait, am I last? That's incredible. No, you first. You are actually, the points are concerned in second placement. And pretty close to first. I know who's first. Me. Okay. I'm also keeping score, so I might be cheating. That's right. It was like the banks are in the top. Yeah, right. How many dollars do we need? It's like one for you, one for me, two for you, two for me. Three for you, three for me. Alright, let's get this going. I don't know how late you folks are trying to stay. You're welcome to leave and hit me in the face whenever you're ready to go. Well, I usually don't hit people in the face when I leave. Or slap or caress. I mean, it might be a fun experience. Slapping someone really hard. Oh my god. This is going to turn fire back real quick. Bam! Just right in the ear, pipe club style. You hit me in the ear. You go first. You are in charge, JD. Charles in charge. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. My name is Jack Danger. I do this Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. Central Standard Time. You're watching me play pinball with Gary Stern, his daughter Lindsay, and her boyfriend Ryan. Ladies and gentlemen, the chat looks a little stale. Can you please put your butts up? Thank you. Look at you. What did you call me? You're like, oh, God. But I don't, maybe I don't know you that well. Did I insult? What's that? Sounds like paper, dude. What are you talking about? Liz, please, calm down. That ran. That's our job. So, Jack, what is the little army of little characters? Oh, all those Lego characters? All those are Lego characters. I did my last one. Yep, those are, that is just the most ridiculous amount of Lego figurines anyone's ever seen. Oh, is that Gekko? It's the desk across from mine. And the gentleman that sits there, that's every minifig that has ever been developed. Oh, okay. And they're all just sitting there on his desk. It's insane. I was watching him. It's remarkable. Yeah. Yeah. Lego would slay as a pinball machine. We're gonna be clear I don't know very many shit songs or the words to them. You gotta find a way to fill our jowls with music. Well, when you guys leave tomorrow, I'm gonna crank the crap out of this thing. Actually, we're gonna leave before tomorrow. There you go. Are you sure? No. He said I could clap him in the face when we leave. We have a super comfortable couch. Who's up next? That blanket is all zero. Oh, good morning, all of your employees. Probably not the first time. People probably want to get to go. I actually do have to keep it. We just moved. We got an unpack. We're welcome back. We should check it out. So, sorry, screen. That's what happened Tuesday? Yeah. We got removed from us and whatnot. I apologize to these nerds. Pinball life, that's probably not an answerable question. The first pinball machine you ever played? Oh, that is a good question. Can you name a virtual? I'm so good at golf. Probably, because it's probably in our house. It's probably Michael Jordan or... No, we didn't know. No, Wisconsin. So either Guns N' Roses or Muggs N' Roses. No, we never made them up. And you did it. Limited edition. You did it. It was in our house for maybe 10 years. Lindsay, you did it. Good distraction. I love it. You killed it. You got us here in the store. I actually can't believe you don't remember this. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan. Not Michael. Jack. I said Jordan. You said Jackson. I didn't say Jordan at all. Yes, we made. We made. We made. But we also made it for the Michael Jordan Foundation. This is going to make me lose. Oh, I didn't laugh. It's the music factory. Yeah. So good. So good. Oh, yeah. I like the fake jam premiere. Oh, my. Oh, yeah. This stuff is not for you people. Go. Yeah. They can't hear much. I think that you still have a better clue than I do after that. That was... We'll see. You guys distract us. All right. Who's the player? I think... Did you play already? You're up. I was second player. Were you? Are you sure? No, no. I was second player. Go ahead. Yeah. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. Ladies last. Ladies last for gentlemen's appearances. For the record, she didn't say Jordan. She said the internet. FaceCam licensing has got to be good. The internet doesn't lie. They lie all the time. On the screen here I raised a bunch of money for the children's charity. In about a few hours. I raised about like $20,000. I kept the doors open for the kids. Also had a project pinball here. We did about $400 in two. A very generous crowd, the pinball machine. A very generous crowd, I said. Hubs and smooches. Thank you, Steve. Question for Gary. Do you take into account what fans would like as a new pinball machine? No, they just pick crap at random. Come on guys, we don't pick titles for me. Right. Because being 70 years old and a news junkie would probably do something like Fareed Zakaria. Alright. Go look up what that is people if you don't know. Because you might not. And that would make a marvelous pinball. I'm Ray Davis. That's me. Alright, so we're going to focus. I'm going to play a song. We're going to play Deuce. Okay. because it really wants, I like making that Starchild shot, because I stuck at it, and I want it, and actually we're going to go for a lot. Well, the fun thing about this game is, it demands more ball control, I feel, which I think is amazing. I have none. Like, in that circumstance right there, I let that go, but a pro player would be slapping this thing to get it out, but also we moved the outlanes really wide, because we do that on purpose to make the game harder. You do? Yeah. Okay, great. Who's up? Me. You. Me. Shitty score. Me. I'm barely paying any attention. My dad set me on a hyper ball whenever I played my first game. Oh, my God. A hyper ball. I'm very generous. Okay. Hyper ball. Casually challenged. I love you, buddy. Thank you so much. Hyper ball and what? One was belly and one was Williams. Oh, shit. Whoa! Whoa! Bartimus! Love you, man! Love you, man! You were the most beautiful person on the street. I promise to subscribe to you. Where's that coming from? Bartimus, I love your sexy female robot voice. Um, thank you. I love you too, brother. Keep on coming! That's great. I'm rooting for you. I got a paper that's doly. Come on, guys! JK, the gentleman's strength. It was William. Hyperball media. No, no. Hyperball and Rapid Fire. Yeah. Valley was Rapid Fire. Williams was Hyperball. They both stuck. Valley was busy copying the Williams game. Williams sued them on copyright. but that didn't work because the art was different. And it turned out they both sucked, and they both lost their fortune. I hate that you married him. I think everyone needs to know this. I mean, I don't know if everyone knows that Grandpa was part of it. William. Oh, yeah. I started at William's when I was in Stockton when I was 16. My father, Sam, was William. He and Harry were partners. That's awesome. And then Harry worked for Sam. Um, Bartimus, being married doesn't mean I can't hang out. Wink wink. Oh, there's Jody. He's in bed. Wait, Jody? Jody here? Is that your car? Um, Jody, Gary said I can come in the building and take whatever I wanted. No, Jody, that's not our job. Jody, that's not our job. What do you know? Also, you have to start cutting me weekly paychecks. I'm taking a full-time job. Here's my desired salary bands. Did I miss any Game of Thrones news? If you're talking about the pinball, I don't know what you know. Brittle. I can't answer it. You're still saying anything right now. Yeah, well. Well, if you said something new that you've never heard about. Not with this word on it, it's cold inside now. Oh, this is me. We should have had a... I'm into it. Whoa. Okay. Pinball Viking. Shawty. Shawty Queen. I don't agree. It was a horrible game. Come on, Gary. Norway wasn't that bad, was it? No, I like Norway. I had a good time. I had a great time. Pinball Viking, thank you so much, buddy. The only thing that I found strange was the 67 Chevy convertibles driving by. Oh, really? Oh, really. It was great. That's me in Norway? Huh? Apparently that's not... This isn't the correct Jody, but Jody said I can do whatever I want. So, uh... Okay. Ha! Okay. What's the meaning of Jody? I promise you that's not Terry. No, that's not Terry. Tell us the secret. Um... I'm really tall if we tell you to we have to kill Jax which I'm okay with the infamous Gary Starr the infamous Gary Starr I'm Terry shut up big boy this is not freaking Terry The internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are at BIA. And we're all Terry here. And we're all Terry. Okay, I got it. I've accepted it. My pocket is exploding. I don't know if they'll come out. There's that freaking shot. Come on, baby. So pinball-like games? Yeah. Pinball-like. Hyperball, rapid-fire style games did not catch on? Oh, they were horrible. They didn't. We remember that was the era of, that was the real turnout business when games had to make money. And they weren't won. Besides which, they had another problem. They didn't work. They didn't take it. My father, Sam, used to say, I'd rather make a good game that works than a great game that doesn't work. Those were bad games we didn't want. Yeah, wow. That's just the worst of both. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I remember it was hype. It was old hype. Yeah. The, uh, like, what was it? Oh, nice, hold it. Um Radical wasn that like a weird game that didn sell well here in the States but it tested really well for some reason It tested really bad Radical they made a couple hundred samples a lot The Williams used to make a lot Williams Valley in the day Who's up? I'm moving. You might be in the video. Yeah, yeah. So they made a couple hundred samples, or they made a bunch of samples. It was number one on the replay magazine chart, and it tested so poorly, they didn't make any for the U.S. They only made it over the earth. Yeah, only because they had to use the parts up, I guess. Custom legs and all. Oh, nice. That was better. That was better. That's good. You've got to stop it. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Oh, it didn't stop. Stop texting me. Gary, does Adam's family need a two-shot pin? I don't know if it's a two-shot pin, but it's a great pinball. Oh, pinball life. Okay, here's the deal. Adam's family, if you want to play it for a big score, you only shoot for two hits. Ah, okay. You shoot the chair, you shoot the ramp, back and forth all day, the game just opens up. Most people are super freaking butthurt about that idea that you don't have to play a game to go through all the modes, that you can focus on two things to blow it up. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. Most of us that are casual players don't get modes. That's what you got. We don't get it at all. That game, the geometry and the toy, it's just classic. I was in market research one Saturday afternoon in Paris, going from one cafe to another. What you do is you have a glass of wine, maybe two, and you play the pinball. So maybe after three or four locations, you go home and take a nap. But I found all the lights burned out, just dirty as hell. It was just a great game. I love it. Great game. It had nothing to do with the wine. Then, then is the F-14 story. And I tell Steve all the time, and I should tell you. Ellen Monk says, Gary, the artwork and rules on Metallica are amazing well done. Yes. Yes, I agree with you. Thank you. Well, that's why we're making more Metallica premium. It's $3 enough to see the Game of Thrones premium. I don't know. What do you mean, see it? Here? Patience. You've got to wait until it's like a machine. 8 plus. Head on a quibble. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue. Patience are for the hospital. A little bit longer. That was sweet. That's me. Prepare to be wowed. What time is it? We're burned out and ready to go. Give me the hand signal. No, you can hang out. My wife is on her way. What time do you run? I scream until I'm too drunk to turn the computer off. Oh, I like that. See, I used to go to bars. I used to go to the street next to you. When I'm like clicking and it takes this long to go. Oh, your wife's coming over here. When does she come? She'll be here very shortly. Good. I'm sure I'm going to wait for that. Well, no joke, though, he took me in high school through his old bar, which is why schools call them Lincoln Park. Oh, nice. High school? I'm in high school. No. Yes, I was in high school. No. I didn't do that. That's not legal. All right. Well, no one asked for an ID, so we're all tapped. She visited. This happened actually a month ago, ladies and gentlemen, so keep that in mind. It was a month ago. and he takes me through the bar and he's telling me all about like, oh, this is really global, and this is really global, and that's where I used to sleep at night because I worked really hard. And I was like, and he, it's down the stairs on the cement floor and I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, all right, I used to pass out in the bar. Hell yeah. You know, my father, if we don't have games on the street, this whole hobby and collectability will be gone. Absolutely. Yes. So you all have to go out, put seats in the stools, which is what we say in the bar business, and go have your tournament, leagues, whatever. You go to the bar and say, hey, if you had a game or two here, we'd be here once a week. My father started as a game operator, and then a distributor, then a manufacturer. I was once a location owner when we had games. So I know that part of the church. I have my own part of the Wysfield Club and part of Park West. That's awesome. Yeah. That would have been the early 70s. Okay. I was born in my father's eyes. When were you born? When were you born? I got shoes on. I got shoes on when we were young. I'm not here. These shoes are from the boat I had in 1980. This is over. They are over the years. Wow. But you guys did that so the bar talking was starting to pop up. Oh, right. The next store. There was an antique shop. It was an antique shop. Pop up, it's that one. Oh, there's a pro-belly! Pop-belly! They had a pop-belly stove and they sold sandwiches in the antique store. Oh, no kidding! That is the original pop-belly. I did not know that that was the Chicago Institute. We were 2268, 3270 North Lincoln, so that would have been about 2260 North Lincoln. And there's a sign on that, original pop-belly. That's the original one. Big shout out to the pop-bellies. You know that, I've got that shoe rack thing that's the chair that I have ashtray on in my bedroom? That's him from the podcast. Oh, my God, you're from the podcast? Yeah, yeah. I think the podcast is always easier. I thought you were from, like, the franchise. No, no, I thought that, yeah. Good stuff. Need to convince my wife to get a new in-box pin. Good luck. Have her call me. Have her call me. Talk to Gary. I'll be happy to. You're really a film guy. Have her call me. No, take Gary out. All right, so there was Jack Ryan. No, I'm sorry. Jack Lindsay Gary Ryan. I'm sorry, Ryan. Isn't Jack Ryan from some movie? Oh, my God. People can tell me who it is. I got excited. Why don't you have a pumpkin fist? Look at this. Hold on. Keep pumping your fist. I don't know if this is mine or not, but alcohol sterilizes it. Drink the alcohol. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to play until you all leave, so good luck. Yeah, until you're all asleep and we're passed out on the concrete floor. Jerry, why no... Oh, wait, we've got to play that game. They don't have to see it. They can hear it. We'll plug it in. Plug it in. Well, here's the deal. The problem is maybe audio too, hopefully not, because this is all audio. Yeah, no, it is. I love this game, man. I haven't seen that in a lifetime. They, one of the, one of the, one of the, you guys can't see us, we're coming over here. It's, so when you, the, you want to go right over here? If you walk all the way toward that red door, it's the first door to your left. There's a big painting of Viggo the Carpathian from, you know, supposed to do about that time. Don't let it freak you out. No, just before you come up that door. So Jack will remember this and you all will. The old Stern Electronics games, and this one was on the edge so it's not quite there, they were drop target games. And that's what they were. Yeah, absolutely. Back in the day we made drop target games, single level drop target games. Are you lost? Oh, no, you're not lost. It's my wife! Hello. Laura. This is Gary. Very nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. And this is Ryan. Hi, Ryan. Ryan Anderson. Nice to meet you. Ryan, my name is Jack. Are you on this often? It was your list. It was recently. Yeah. So then you all know. Ladies and gentlemen. See, there it is. Laura! They all know her name. All right. So what we're going to do here is we're going to play this Stargazer. Brother, you play some Stargazer. I'll entertain these kids with some kids here. Hopefully it works. Let me know it's done, Jack. Let's get this done. I can't. I think I put it one at Logan and I did not win. It's okay if it makes you feel it. His walk made you terribly for the past hour and a half. Oh, really? Yeah. So, you know, that's pretty good. They come over the lot behind him. They've got a media. They've got wrestlers. Whoa. He's very passionate about pinball, if you didn't know, guys. Sussex County and Ocean County. Hey, everybody. I love you. You're all great. Oh, this thing. I would do the camera thing, but my phone's dead. Oh, you want me to phone Kim what Gary's doing? I'm making a phone call. Hey, Gary's calling some important people right now. Unless it's Jody. I'm still working, folks. If he's calling Jody, then he's just calling them to blow fart noises into the phone. It's not me. It's not me. He's not calling me. Hello, Mrs. Danger. Where is Mrs. Danger, by the way? Oh, she went to the bathroom also. Ladies, they do it in pairs. Lady stuff. Pooping. Pooping. Pooping. Anyway, you and me, Ryan. You ready? One of us is killed. It's not me. You're done. You're done, buddy. Whoa. Okay. Laura's in also. Laura, look, we got kids. I see that. Also, Gary Stern here. You know Gary Stern, the guy that owns the company. Who's that? I don't know anything about him. Well, I think Gary Stern might be my illegitimate father. I'm not entirely certain. Oh, he's here. I have to be legitimate. Legitimate. He's the father of Endall. I happen to be a giant among stars. There you go. Don't be too nervous. I'm the greatest. I'm the greatest. I'm the greatest. I'm pretty really pretty. Whoa. Toasty. Toasty. I love you, buddy. Woo. It's really fun. It's really fun. Step on up. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Alright, alright, I'm in. Not yet. Don't feel the need of a job, and money, and things. And my little pony. Find me fancy things, and announce my little pony pillow machine. Oh no! Distract me, Jack. That's what happened exactly right there. Very awkward. There's also another Gary Stern. There's another Gary Stern. There's another Gary Stern. There's another Gary Stern. There's another Gary Stern. These guys really are impersonators. Cry Simpsons and give it to me. I don't know what I want to do here. Jody, I love you. All right, come on. All right, I was back over here. I didn't kill it. I think they might be leaning a lot. They're very truncheon-y and happy. Like, a lot. Jerry Stern, over there? Jack Danger? Jack, but he's not a guest. He's part of it. I'm Liz Young, Gary's daughter. It's Ryan, my favorite. Me, et cetera. I am no freaking guest, you ding-dong. This is Laura Danger. It's either your real name or your real name. Oh, okay. Yes. Ryan, Lindsey, that guy Gary over there. He does some pinball stuff sometimes. He makes some loan machines for the most part. Okay, so he actually made the game. Ryan, Lindsey, Gary, good job. I feel like we should have name tags. Make up some names. I mean, it's a good player's turn, but I have to say... Wow, okay. We can make it more confusing. Gary looks like Doc Brown. Who is Jeff Danger? He a ding-dong. He's also a lot better at English than you are. Hi, America. I'm a rocker. Okay, I got it. Who's player four? That could be anybody. It is anybody's game. Ryan? No, I won't share it. We'll share it. We'll share it. Alright, so I'm going to flip her to your ass. No, no, no, no, you play. The Stern game. Yes, yes. Alright, you start. Wait a minute. Ugh! I'm answering it. It's you. I think you're right for the Adam's piece. You weigh about as much as a five year old. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Oh, girl, you a hot five year old. I'm sorry. We're done. We're done with all things. It's incredible. Don't wait. Can you explain to them what you learned about Stoli last year? Yeah, what's that? Okay. I've got to go back to the lines. My friend Mike Miller has a couple more bottles for me of Russian Stoli. solely was purchased by a Russian in Belgium and he moved it to Latvia so you see no longer says Russian vodka on the bottom because it's not it's Latvia it's premium so it's not quite the same vodka I have a bottle I have two bottles of Russian I took one to your mother's house because I drank it just because of what I had unfortunately it's gone wasted and then I see people and then I no no no no you're supposed to drink it calmly like by itself you don't mix it with stuff you don't mess with it okay so then there's a bottle in my house and some people might have been you and might have been Joanna might have been two other people that packed into the vodka and my stoli I got this much Russian stoli left they haven't you haven't been able to find at least by half my stoli when I found them in a liquor store, anything. So I got this guy who owns Delilah's at Bottom Lounge over here, Mike Mueller. You might like him. Yeah, you might like him. Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you. And, uh, yeah, before Joy and I ran into you guys on this evening, you were there. Oh, yeah. She was not your baby. She was over there. She was out there. She was over there. Terry's very serious about his pinball and his bowling. Oh! Well, and a bunch of other things that I like by Harley. His boat. My boat, which is another story. What kind of boat? I have a twin prop Chris Crab with one prop. With one prop right now. He's the dad's boat right now. Well, okay. This is really a funny story. Okay, but can I share a story about the... Well, no. Well, you learned. I learned it's two different boxes that taste different. And so they don't make the Russian anymore. and so I've got a couple bottles waiting for me somewhere. I've got to get back with Mike Miller and Delilah. If any of you are around here in the Chicago area, go to Delilah's and see Mike Miller, a very good friend of ours. Is that what he's serving at his bar? No, that's what he's serving. He's a liquorist. He's a liquorist. I just heard the other night he's serving two more bottles. You see, we really come, we really come from the bar business, from liquor, because they're not fit for the job. You couldn't. You operated with people drank, operated with people collecting games, and I ran for the... Who's number one? You might have had breakfast. Who's number one? Had this what? He likes to have breakfast. I don't know if there's... Yes, there's Jimmy. Jim? Oh, I thought you were Jim. Jimmy. No, no, no. Not Jimmy. Jimmy. Oh, let's point out to the internet. Why? Jimmy Weasley. You haven't told me. I haven't. Whatever. Jack Fawkes. Hi, everybody. Hi. Never mind. Whatever she says, never mind. I didn't say anything. She didn't say anything. Everyone go about their business. We don't need to take her here. Uh-uh. We have a closet full of them. We're going to take them. No, it's not. Enough. Can I see your closet? Let's go. Okay, I want to go through the talk. Yeah. All right, someone's going to play that. All right, you people are watching. All right, one thing. You're watching us drink. I happen to drink often. I'm on a diet, so I shouldn't be. He's always on a diet. I hope you guys are drinking. It's something. It's something. I got a Lizzie with four explanations. Uh-oh. Whatever, Mark. I didn't say anything. She's still the beans guy. I'm still the beans guy. I wouldn't like that it's happening. Lashings. Lashings. Did you guys solidify that Milo Latonia's been made? Jack is making it. So that's good. Good. I'm really excited. Yeah, he's the lead designer. So you're going to be dealing with that for like a few months. So I'm pretty excited. I'm into it. It's all about excitement. Oh, no. Of course not. I mean, Rainbow Dash. No, equivalent. Yeah. Uh-oh. Okay, so I did really well for that ball. Was that you as well? What? Holy crap, look at this. How close that is. Gary is on a mission for Stoli. He's always on a mission for Stoli. This is life. Stoli is life. When Zini's gone, you can tell us now. That's right. Can I come over? Sorry, game typer. But, Baca on the rocks with a twist. That's been his order for maybe like A while. A while. Okay, but not in a while. But just saying. But it's solely on the road. Gin and grapefruit soda is probably the best drink ever. I didn't hear that right. It comes good. Who's two? I don't remember who two is. Which is the group? I took one, and I really helped you guys out. I think Gary was two. You too? No, I'm not anybody. That looks about right. You were somebody. I'll take it because it's me. It's not by the way, it's 5 million aides. Obviously we're not paying much attention. You see this is the thing about pinballs, they're very social things. You don't have to always take it seriously. You see at the top of this window over here with all the cameras, look at the very top. Follow the red text down there. 142. What's it say up there? There's still 142 of you here. 5,000 people, that's incredible. Yeah, right. Keep watching. It'll get more exciting. Donate all your paychecks. Give me stuff to do. We're going to make our own drink. A flat deck and hooker. Damn. Anyway. What's the official death flip drink now? I think it's each schnapps on the rocks. Right? That's not the family drink. That is dangerous. Pepper McStuff. When I was in the bar business, you used to do schnapps. It's only 63, you know, 62, 50%, you know, way low. But boy, that's when I slept on the floor. Judgment, sponsored by Stoli. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to drink a vodka, drink the vodka. Stoli vodka. Your mom. This is me. Yeah, I feel like that's sort of the thing with really eating animals. There's been drinking again. Uh, apple? Yeah, apple. Oh man, that pucker? Holy crap! That stuff ruined lives. You know what? The hardest thing was vanilla vodka and coke. Oh, I can taste it. I can taste it. Yeah, I will taste it. Buttons for life! Whoa! Two dollars for Venetian since... Go away! Well, it didn't say it quite like I said it, but Venetian's been drinking for a while. I didn't quite like I said it, but Vinicius, thank you so much brother. So you need to arm the buddy so that he's right here. Totally. And I thought that I was cute. So I would make like, here, stop, and I'm just like, oh. What the fuck? I've never done that before. No kidding. He's still there, Armadillo, right? You want to get rid of him, Parker? No it was the Bells and Spurs bar. Wow. No it was the one bar. The Bell and Club East was there. It was there. A galley. And Arm and Eddie's at the back. Where's my pocket exploding? I don't know. Arm and Eddie's are coming around. Yeah Brandon's left and I think that one's at the back. Oh, I got it. Well now it's too short, so I think I can't reach it. Oh my God, Gary Stern. Yeah, he's right there. Wait wait wait. You know this story anyway. Yeah, make the face of the camera, whatever you need to do. And I said we had this hidden bar that went into the wall. But I mean hidden in the way that there was a key right next to it. You put it over the key and you take time and lock that. Who did? Zentron. Stop trying to call me a dude. You do? No, no, no. It was a family. The liquor house? Yeah. Yeah. Liquor bar and then pull down into the box. Full of liquor inside. I love hearing these stories after the fact. Timbal, I've had a good night, buddy. I've accepted it, but can you stop drinking the good shit? Because apparently we drank all the fine liquor. It was the same thing with my brother, where it's like, oh, he drank the... We're just playing with it. All of it, and I turned and stopped. You don't have to call the cops or nothing for that. Don't worry about it. What? Huh? I'm saying, like, you learned too many things. You're fine. We have a whole statement on this. It's over. Awesome. Thank you. Yancy says, my power's been out for four hours. You guys are keeping these things thanks to the router battery backup. Yancy, I love you, buddy. You probably know Yancy. I think he's been to Stern working on some sort of product or something. What do I have to hit now? Brother Dragon. So, Laura, you have a multiball. What you want to hit is the things that are flashing. So you won't give me anything to turn into competition. Jeez Louise. I'm about to leave this group. I am telling you. I am not about... Are you hot? Yes. Spin? Spin great? Yeah, I'm getting a real big wave. Wait, come to me. Come to me. In a while, in a while, that food starts to... Oh, God. We're going to have to go eat something. Yes. Yes. Do you guys want to join us somewhere? Where are you going? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I do whatever I want. Shut down! I do whatever I want. What's the kind of stuff around here? Well, Randolph is like that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's right by the road. Yeah, we went to Archibald last night. Oh, nice. Archibald was in his thing. Archibald was in his thing. Archibald was in his thing. It was good. We live like two blocks away from Kuma's, which is voted like a burger. Kuma's, which one? The OG. No, we went to Kuma's the second. We're at the original right around the corner from the house. Kuma's in the Sacramento area. Internet, forget that I said that. It really is good. You have to go here on this. Yo, my girls are top of the list. Oh, I've never played this before. I haven't. It's clear. Oh. Please. I yell at her about ball controls. She hates it, but then she uses it. You know what it is? Look at this. Oh, my God. What? Oh, okay. I got one in there and then one in there now. Brother Dragon, thank you very much. We've been drinking for two hours. We've been drinking for, yeah, about two hours. Two hours, yeah. And somebody hasn't. That's true. That's true. You look pretty today. I feel pretty today. What'd I get? What'd I get? More than me, probably, right? Oh, wow. Damn, you did get more than me, nerd. What did you do? I killed it. Who's number one? So we can get it. Yo, let's wrap this up, guys. Come on. I'll take one ball. One ball? I think, what are you? Nope, I'm number three. I'm four now. You look like a number one. All right, number one. I'm going to turn it down to number one. This has been all over the place. We're going to go all the way. Okay. Oh. Dude, that actually is beyond. I'm going to do it again. So good. I haven't been to Osceola yet. Oh, it's really good, but it... I mean, it's worth the two hour wait if you go get drinks and you have the time. But now it's four hours. Yeah, we've been full four hours. Whoa! And we were like, who said three and a half hours is okay to make it full four hours? It could be your birthday. That's really good. Yeah. No, we didn't do the four hour wait. Oh, wait, this is mine. It was the only good version. All two. Thank you, thank you. I didn't play it for me. You guys play it. Who played our game? He was too, but I guess I'm taking it. Everybody play it, who cares. This game is ridiculous. The spinners, they haven't fucking created the match with these guys. The spinner gun is like, Oh, that's kind of painful. Laurie, you have to play my ball and yours. Okay. See which gets higher. Oh wait, I mean that was terrible. She didn't care anything and pulled the bottle. She's focused. She's focused on destroying the entire thing. Where's Ponzi? Ponzi? Who's that? That's his friend. He's the one who's doing it. Oh nice. Ponzi, where's she going? Who we got here? Pinball Vikings. I love your name. Pinball Vikings go to Pinball Valhalla and they're very good. Oh, waterfall, great idea! The more planet we can make this about how terrible we are, the more it's going to be. Yeah, you guys are doing great. You say that now. Win. I'm winning. This is happening. Thank you. Will this be up? Oh, no! Down the pipe. Will this be on YouTube as well? I would say this would be on, yeah, if it was like streaming stuff like that. Yeah, it's called broadcast. Yeah, yeah, it's all there. That's for when you get to ground and then it comes down to the corner. Right. No, no, no. Oh no, I think from a dog. Wow, was it like that, see the mobile, what was that, um, what was that movie? With, uh, Jack and Ella couldn't get it. Oh God! Oh no. Oh yeah, it was on there. The Hangover. Wasn't that like The Hangover? That's what happened with your dog? Yeah. I remember that. So Ryan works with our dog. We work for home and our dog is not so interested in us. She's pretty lazy and does nothing. She likes to be included in tours and get cuddles and stuff. What kind of dog is it? I think it's a typical animal but we can tell you on that. So she's a mutt? Yes. There you go. I had a dog like that. I'm going to have to see if they're you now. It's the landlord who knew her for a while. She's not a doctor. Nice. Um, but, I am glad that she sees him going throughout the day, which seems like we can just all talk from her own tooth. From her own gas. That's so cute. How old is she? Not much. Where do you guys live? What the heck did I just see? The conference is pretty big. Oh, here's Chicago. Hello. And we got some sweet new internet today. Did you? Brown caps? No, fiber. I enjoy it, it's fancy, you guys can come stream if you bring your pinball machine. Okay. It's not, probably not that hard for me to do. We won? I did? Can you write down that, okay Jack won. I'm on your team now. One, two, three, four. I'm on your team now. One, two, three. You got second place? You did. I got my first and second. Okay. Gary is playing. Don't get me wrong, Kid Tango. I am so proud of my Maddie. But sometimes when we have to apply for buildings and for rent, you have to say different things. And luckily I have something from her paper. She's totally less than like 40 pounds. Yeah. One building told me that they were going to win. And I was like, we're going to put her on a scale and it legit said they were going to win. She's 51 pounds, but now I have to know that she's very musky. She's a little husky. No, she's not musky. She's not musky. You're right. She's a pit bull. I guess so. I was thinking you might have. That was good. She's there. You've been drinking. You didn't get it. So. 50 minutes. A little bit. All right. Alright, am I doing one? Ladies first? No. I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Alright, I'll go first. Okay. Oh! Oh! I mean... They're a little... They're a little floppy. Do I have to do it first? Yeah. You have to hit all the letters again to lock up the pinball. It's how you pinball to a point. Like, try to get me out of this game, or you're going to be ripped. Oh, ho, ho, ho. Brutal. Alright, well... Drink up. No, it's very slow. Are you playing a drinking game? No, maybe. I'm playing a nature game. Biking, pinball, baseball biking. So what do you want to do? Casually challenge? I'm well aware of the love affair. I'm fine with it. Totally okay. Oh, I'm so sorry, Big Tango. Bye, PNK. Alright, come to me. Alright. Alright. Did you decide on a friend? That would be me. Very pretty though, I agree. Oh, that was a death note. Pinball divas? I'm not my hand right now. She's supervising us. We need supervision. Uh, fourth call. Fourth call? Anyone want to take four? Gary, you want four? Gary, yeah, you have a hand in my hand. I have one. Take four. I'm busy playing Radical, which is such a weird thing. I'm such a loser in this day. Ah! Oh, Jesus. Oh, no. Oh, no, I got it back. Yeah, take four. I got it back. It's steady. What is it, baby? No. It's a baby. Oh. It's a baby. It's a piece of history. It's a fun game. It's a piece of history by the way, and he's done really well. It started in Chile. Are you familiar with the meme of Bigfoot? So this is Bigfoot's... Right there, yup. I know his info. Ah, but I got Army. I spelled Army and lost it. Who's up? Who's number one? I'm on. Am I? Yeah. It's a fake store, so it doesn't matter. You're right. Well, Laura's sober, so that can be trusted. She's got like 60,000 more than me. I can take that down. Laura, can you hit number two on the keypad? Hey nerds, thanks for sticking around. I love you. You're doing great. Can you hit zero? Let me do it. That's a fan set. Three. Check that out. That's pretty cool, right? Now hit three. Is she under a tent somewhere? I may have. Is she sleeping under a fence somewhere? Yeah, that's right. She's on the concrete stairwell somewhere. By the way, if you haven't hit the head, it's always that red door table there. There's a couple in Japan I saw at Gizmo. The apartments are very small. Who's been lost in May Square? I'm going to be first. I'm first. I'm in there. You're a nerd. Who's playing here? Who's won? Lindsay. Well, except we played for her. That's okay. All right. I'll play for her. I'll play for her. Can you get number three for me, please? You're a nerd. That's it, Ron. I'm not a nerd. You're a nerd. Well, typically, you're the nerd. Um, but I will be the nerd for tonight. Thanks, Water Polo. Damn, she's close to Love Gun Multiball. I don't want to play this. Never mind. Change my mind! You spilled my drink, man. Oh, calm down, simply kind. Internet, thank you so much for coming tonight. A big shout-out to Gary Stern and the fam. We're dropping by. Stay tuned for the Jack and Gary show where we just drive across the country and beat people up on our motorcycle. Yeah. What we mean, like, pinball related. Yeah. I'm too short. Yo, I got you, bro. I got you. Don't worry about it. I don't have knuckle tattoos for no reason. You got a problem with Gary Stern, you got a problem with me. Well, I dreamt that ball would be in a dig though. Who's player two? Who wants to be number two? Who's two? That's me. Two? Two. I'm doing it! I'm doing it! I'm gonna have to eat soon. Yes. Sorry, everybody out there and wherever you are. Alright, Stream, I'm gonna eat. I think you should not come in here. Stream, what should we eat? I think you should not come in here. I think that he's not coming to work in three hours. You should go to work because we're gonna go get food eventually. What should we be eating, Stream? Oh! I don't know, but I am hungry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Actually. I already saw a tail. What are you talking about, snowboarder? His bike. Oh, yeah, totally. I got two, but the one I mostly ride is a Harley Heritage Softtail. He's got a Heritage Softtail and a Sportster. Yeah, and I got a Sportster, too. Brian, I believe he's starting with Ford. Who's player three? Who wants to claim the $900,000? I don't want to believe that. But we'll go with it. You know, she's kind of like, playing the whole thing. Yeah. Josh Sharpe, who isn't Josh Sharpe, says go to Arby's. Arby's? I'm going to Arby's. Oh, the internet wants you to hear the rest of the F-14 story that you just said. Okay, F-14 story. Wow. Here we go. Why don't you come over here and talk? You can be closer to the mic. Many years ago, first of all, F-14 was a Steve Ritchie game, and it was it was a killer game I mean yeah it kills you the ball you know just kills you so so so I was going to see a new customer in Holland and so I'm meeting him in that street I take the train in the street and instead of putting me in the night's little regular person's hotel next to the train station I take a cab to the High Rise Fancy Hotel. I go check in my room. I come down. There's a bar. There's a bartender. One other guy. Green carpet. And they're football and TV. But they're football. Which I happen to enjoy now, but then I wasn't. So I took a walk and I find a pub. And in this pub, there's a pipe about this big. On this white pipe because pot was legal there. So they smoke a pot. In a pipe. Thank you. I don't, I wasn't smoking. I was drinking vodka. Marijuana, ladies. Yeah, yeah, I was drinking vodka. So I get my vodka. Green tobacco. I go over, there's an F-14. And there's a couple playing the slot machine, fruit machine next to the F-14. And I'm going to play the F-14 with my vodka. There's also a cloud in the room. A cloud of... A strange cloud. A strange cloud. It is all very strange. and they offer me a coke, hit, whatever, up of their cigar pot. I said, no thank you, there's plenty in the air. I don't need that, I'm drinking vodka. I played F-14, the game was filthy, which slowed the ball up enough that you could play the game. I'm not going to tell you the vodka or the cloud had any effect on me. That's before there was a cloud for Internet. this was a clown and I can tell you that I could pass the ball from the lower flippers to the two upper flippers which by the way I obviously couldn't because it's not possible but I remember doing that and I had a great time on that game and I told this story to Steve Ritchie it was the only time I could ever play that game Because that game used to, you know, just a jam. Rocking it back and forth. Oh, God, it was dangerous. It was just death. Who has $43 million on this game? Not me. Not me. I won. Was I playing this? Yeah. I was not playing this game. I've only been playing this game. Whoa. Hey, take it. We have a mystery score. Yo. What up, Internet? Yeah, I've been watching. Whose ball is this? Is this mine? I'll play it. Yeah, you're awesome. I got to call the point. That's on you, buddy. Somebody, you had a few points, but you had love gun multiple already. No, but I also had a few points. Look at this. You have locks? Okay. It's Jack. Everyone's saying it's Jack. It's your ball, Jack. All right, you barber. Thanks for nothing, guys. I like your one position when you're talking. No, you get it back. Luckily, you haven't got to have to turn it. Yeah, right. The ball saved off the other one. I have a question. I have a real idea. Do we, like, pull one at the same time as the other, and we, like, do this, like, eagerly? I do it, too. I'm, like, on the other side. I feel like I'm a kid. Am I really? I have a normal dance? No, no. My dance changes depending on, like, how intense the game is. I don't know what it is. Son of a bitch. Okay, who's going to pretend I'm number two? All right, I'll pretend I'm number two, because I think I've been pretending long enough. Who is number... You were number two. Who does number two work for? Now we're all goofing around. It's not a big deal. You don't know! Laura, my wife, how the frick are you? You nerd. Yeah. I don't think I know her. Why are you so short, Danny? Wait, you were... Look away. I died. Look at this. Yeah. Laura is number three and I think Laura is number four. Well, I don't think that's it. No, she took three and four. Yes. No, that was the last three. No, she took four. I took three. I looked at the record and they didn't let us know. Finally someone referenced Austin Powers. Finally. Yeah! Guys, that's the internet. There's far worse things out there. Yeah, let's go. Y'all go get it. Randolph, walking there, you get started at Randolph. I'll drive. At the beginning of Randolph, there isn't much. Yeah, I'll drive. Yeah, good driving. Gary's not a big enough motorcycle that we can all fit on. No, we're running today. We didn't ride. No, I was going to ride today, too, but I saw the forecast. It was just down the road. I was ready. I was hoping that it came out in the sky. No, it was good. I was thinking about it. I'll tell you my vote. Who thinks it's good? Good job. Good job. It's a good call. What does Laura think of the new PID? I love it. Okay. I think it's great. I'm doing real well on it. Yes, ma'am. I like it. You do like Stephanie. It's all right. Like 45 million. I like it. What are you doing? I don't understand. MOBOT! Do you agree? What, Moobot? Yeah. Moobot is actually a robot. Not real. I know, but they keep writing it as a robot. I set that up to when we swear, it does that cute little thing. Wait, does it? Yeah. Picking ass. Who's player is four? Someone. I have the lowest score right now. Oh I'm four, I'm four. I was playing around. Look at him! Cool, wait a minute. Mine is made out of silica. So that I don't have my finger ripped off. Oh, wow. Is that it? Is that it? Is that turning on? Do you want to make out now? No? No, it's okay. All right. All right. They're all watching, right? Yeah. Player one. I'm guessing. We've given you credit for one. That's how pinball is. Oh, please. All right. Dude, Gary, master of the sword. All right, guys. Internet, nice visiting with you all. Thank you so much, guys. Have a wonderful evening. We have to do this again. I love you. I would love to have you back, brother. Thanks to Gary. Thanks to Ryan. Thanks to Lindy. My wife, Laura, showed up. I'm Jack Danger. I do this Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. Central Standard Time. Come back again tomorrow when it's going to be me hungover, crying into the camera the whole time. Have a good night. I love you. Bye, Internet. Bye. You dumb. Nice meeting you, Internet. Thanks.
