well, you know, Bri, it's like the thing about like repeating bad behaviors is like it's so much easier said than done when when you don't change the common denominator that led to the bad behavior, right? Because it's like, you know, and you you ask people who have like like serious drinking problems. Uh I don't I don't I just there's times when I don't know when to stop. And that's that's always the problem is like you know everyone look everyone goes into everyone I think everyone goes into most things in life with good intentions and you know it doesn't always end up that way. So, I think um you know, I'm happy to say here October 25th, 2025 uh that I've you know, Don said this word yesterday when when people asked him about doing a show with Canada because I I knew it's hard for Don to do that show. You know, I I I know it like I know it's hard because of things I've said in the past and what we've said to each other. I know it's hard because um it got personal, which it shouldn't have. I also know it's hard because there's people that follow Don and look up to Don that are disappointed in his decision to do a show with me, right? And I know that and I, you know, and it's like and I also have like Canad fan members who don't want to see any any reconciliation. I I I have dudes are like, "Ah, they want me to go at everybody all the I'm like, you it's easier for you to uh coach me to be stride in and and lead me to war against individuals when you don't have to suffer the consequences of what those feelings are, right? Canada, go after like this guy. Canada, go after this company. Canada, go after him. like I don't want to live. I don't want to wake up always putting out negativity or anger and and and and you don't have to like deal with any of the consequences of of what those actions might might bring to me. Especially guys, you got to remember like on top of all this pinball stuff, which I love to talk about every day. I've got two little boys. Two little sweet little boys that I want to set a good example for. two little sweet boys that look up to me, that I'm their hero, and like if I do something stupid in the pinball space that puts me in a bad mood and makes me close up, you know, because of my own stupidity or just an like whatever it is, just being in a bad mood, right? And then I got to go downstairs and these two little sherubic angels are so excited to see their dad. How how asinine would it be for me to take the hobby that I love and then do stuff that would make my interactions with the people I love the most suffer because I made my hobby and the communications within the hobby create uh you know disruption in my peace of mind if you will. And look, that's why Ralph was like, I just I, you know, if if Canada is like creating disruption to my peace of mind, I'm just going to avoid Canada. And he did. And he, you know, look, and and I know like the whole, you know, disclosing that you got paid in a potter was like kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back, but you just got to disclose that stuff, you know, and then we're all good. And no one cares. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. You know, in the end it's like Potter is a great game and everybody loves it. And you know, it's selling so well for JJP and if Ralph said, "I got paid in a Potter machine to make that video," I don't think it changes one person's point of view about Harry Potter. I don't even think it changes one person's point of view about Retro Ralph. I think in the end, all it does is make people happy to see content creators actually getting paid for putting in the work. Kale Hernandez, baby. the Building Bridges tour. Kale, it's beautiful. You know what, Kale? What's funny about as I as we we've been calling it amongst ourselves, the Building Bridges Tour, is it's it's it's interesting because I think there's some people out there that would absolutely love to see me cancelled. Colin Albert and um what's annoying to those people is how when you kill them with kindness and you actually behave in a way that is contrarian to their agenda of cancelling you, they don't know what to do. You know, they don't they they really don't know what to do. You know, I heard um somebody told me Albert said like, "Wait, do Canada hears that Don got hired by Spooky? He's going to go off and he's going to go crazy and he's going to be so mad." When I heard that Don was working with Spooky, I sent him a note congratulating him and I thought it was great and I thought he has a lot of good ideas for Spooky and I know how passionate he is about Pinball and their company. and I know that he loves roller coasters and other thrill rides that he wants to sort of infuse some of that thinking into pinball. And so I said, I think this is great and I think good ideas can come from anywhere as long as they're good ideas, right? Why would I wish ill upon a man who's kind of got a dream thing going on for him? And I don't look at Don moving to Benton with any envy. Here's what I think. I think Don is very happy with his family. I think he's very happy with his life. And so am I with my life. I wish um I wish my you know I wish the real estate prices were the same as Benton. Um but you know everything's relative. Everything's relative. But what's not relative is you know happiness. Like happiness is like it's not like happiness in Benton Wisconsin, happiness in Rouad in Connecticut, happiness in Kyoto, happiness in Vancouver, happiness wherever you are. Like happiness is, you know, it doesn't change what makes you happy because you move from here to here to here. I mean, sure, there's some environmental things that can change how happy you are, but you know, ultimately it comes down to how do you feel about yourself and how do you feel about the decisions you make and how do you feel about the people you've surrounded in your life? And I've said this from the very beginning. The true value of this hobby is in the people that it has brought into your lives. We spent an inordinate amount of time discussing these companies and these games, right? But here's the thing. We've all we've [clears throat] all seen enough of these companies and these games to know that they're not really going to surprise us or elevate this hobby as much as the people in this hobby will elevate your life. And when you understand that that my life and my happiness will be elevated by the incredible individuals I meet in pinball, then you can start to somewhat put the product itself where it belongs as a toy that is just a conduit to much more valuable things that we all need as humans. You're not a bug. Um, and and when you when you when you realize that, it's a beautiful thing. And look, I I I don't think you guys always come here to hear this kind of speak. I know you want me to like talk about Mystery House. And do I think it's going to go up in value? And I'll get there in a little bit. Um, no, I don't think it's going to go up in value. I think it's an amazing game for the time. I think it was perfectly launched and I think there's a starving bunch of collectors out there that would have slept with any girl that bought them a drink at the bar. That's what I think. I You know what I'm saying? And like when a girl walks up to the bar and you haven't been laid in months and buys you a drink, if that girl is a six, you're looking at her like she's a nine. Okay? Now, I'm not saying, you know, Winchester's a six, but what I'm saying is you've got thousands of pinball collectors that haven't been laid by a game in years, and Winchester's Mystery House just bought them a drink. They didn't see it coming. They didn't know that girl was coming into the bar. They didn't know that girl was gonna, you know, do something different and actually make the first move. And man, 525 horny collectors just got laid by getting their deposit in. Now, what I've been saying for the last few weeks, I think when Beetlejuice drops and people are asked to pay in full for Winchester and they've never played it and you grew up with Beetlejuice, you're going to see spots open up. I think people will regret if they're if if there's any scalpers out there, they're going to regret not flipping a few of these Winchester spots right now. Now is the time to get out. You always get out when the hype is hot. You you know, it's going to it the hype is not This is the thing is like hype is is is usually early on. You know what I'm saying? Like it's not going to get stronger as the weeks and months go on. It's going to get quieter. Like look how good Harry Potter is right now, right? But no one talks about it much anymore. Nobody cares in it. Now it's just like, you know, the windows, the hype window's gone. Now it's just like make them. It feels like an old game. It feels like we've seen it for years. We knew about it for years. Same thing with, you know, and that's the thing about Winchester, the benefit it has is like we haven't talked about it for years. We haven't we haven't been expecting it for years. Um, but will it will it ma like maintain a an indelible bond with collectors that they won't let them go often? I don't know. Maybe again like may again like I would be a jerk and prejudice against barrels if I told you the answer is no it's not. No it's not going to do that because it's not my opinions that determine those things. It's the market and it's the consumer reaction to a game right now. No consumer has it in their home. So I don't know, you know, all I can go off of is other people's firsthand experiences on things. So that's like, you know, it's like, so like I formulated a lot of my own feelings around Harry Potter by reading about what so many people's opinions about Potter have been. And then I jump on the machine. I played it myself. I opened up the coin door. I saw all I I literally played Potter for a half hour straight and kept using the coin door ball save to see the entire game. And there's like some really cool stuff in there. There absolutely is. Um, but you know, I I was also like, man, this game's like, there's no way people are going to see a lot of this because of how hard it would be to get to a lot of this. But that's, you know, that's JJP, man. You know, you got to own the game for years and you still don't like Guns and Roses like you're never going to on a three ball game, you're never seeing no sympathy for the devil. Never. No, no, no, no. the the outlane drains on this game are the the slingshot drains on the outlanes in this game are just so brutally hard. I mean, this is a brutal game. I I I sometimes think like, you know, G&R gets indicted for being clunky. I indict it because I hate the outlane drains from the slings. I just think it's brutal. I think there's too many of them. And, you know, because there's no flow. You get frustrated because there's a lot of trap and go in G&R. And what sucks is Guns and Roses music is so high energy and so fast, you know, like when you when G&R songs are playing and you've got this more like stop and go clunky game. That's really the big issue with G&R. Like if Guns and Roses is shot like Elton John and when Welcome to the Jungle's going, you're getting into a rhythm and you're like banging like ramps and combos and this and that, you know, like almost like, you know, and that's what Guns Res does not have. It's like the game play and the music are so disconnected that it it it's only like the music and the lights are really connected, but the game play is kind of like so unfulfilling in in a sense of like you really are just wanting this rock and roll gameplay and instead you've got this kind of like trap and go and you Oh, I don't know. Like then you get like it's just it's you know the game play keeps slowing you down while the music wants to speed you up. And and I think that's the big miss on Guns and Roses. What Eric should have done in this game is opened it up more. He absolutely should have opened it up more.
