    • I got the setter up here. And you got to be pretty close to the mics on these. Okay. How's that? That's better.
    3:37
    Can you hear that? Can you hear this? Johnny. Hmm. Alright, why don't we go to a game we did. No way he's ever seen probably. Let's go to Torpedo Alley. How about that? If I can get this thing set up. We're hearing the wooga wooga wooga right now from us. Let's see. Let's see if this switched over.
    4:01
    I gotta say, it's pretty busy. It's a party, and look at this place. Man. So are we going to see the machine over here? I'm pulling it over there. Give me a sec. Here comes the video. Let's see. Bring my posses over there Look at that Waddle Jr. Hey What's going on Alright What are we watching here Brian Shepard We're watching Torpedo Alley In the Right Go ahead What do you think What are we going to do Let's try that Alright How's that Is that better That's better Alright I've been watching Torpedo Alley, and I know absolutely nothing about this game. Did you play it today yet? I played it once, and that was it. And I said to myself, I'm not going to play this thing again. I haven't played it yet. No. I mean, it's pretty brutal. And hence why Brian Shepard just showed it to Finger. I mean, you saw it right there. I mean, he got pretty pissed.
    5:06
    I like this. Look at this. We have, like, this whole screen, and it shows Brian Shepard. It shows his picture. Look how happy he is. You know, and he's from Westerville, Ohio. Yes. Yeah. And we're seeing what score he's got. That's his best score in this game so far. He's got a 2.1 million. Wow, 2.1 million. I think it's actually pretty high already, isn't it? He's 18th place.
    5:25
    But he thinks he can do better. We'll stick with this for another game. We have a player called Wayne Sager coming up on it.
    5:34
    So we'll find out where Wayne's from because I have no idea. Yes, Waddle, I believe Elwin does have a gameplay video up of this. And this is actually Elwin's game. He was kind enough to lump us. Let's see. Wayne is from the Tucson, Arizona area. Hey, Wayne.
    5:51
    What is he ranked? I mean, I don't know. I don't have the ranks in here just yet. I ran out of time. This setup has been quite a bear to get up and running.
    6:02
    12 games full. Look at that. You can blackout. Anyways. All right. So, yeah, that's what happened to me, by the way. The outling drain. It's pretty bad.
    6:14
    This thing is really wide over here. I like it. I like that. Yeah, you got that. You got it. Really wide over there. And there he goes again. Look at that. Two balls. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm not playing that game again. I mean, it's just frustrating. You just start playing and you're back. Is Laser War any better? I think Laser War is a little bit better than this.
    6:39
    I played Laser War twice. So, I don't know. Thank you, Steve. According to Steve Daniels, Wayne is currently ranked 1,586th. Hopefully, I'll get all that information on the broadcast tomorrow if I have a little more time. I just need to populate my database.
    6:54
    Cool. And this is Carl D'Angelo and Johnny Mulligan. Oh, yeah, we've got the camera right there. Yeah, they know who we are. Come on.
    7:06
    So, as we saw there, Wayne just drained all three balls from the right outlay. And those outlanes are just horrible. Just deadly. They are, indeed. All right, well, let's give it one more shot since they're such short games. We'll watch, let's see, Mr. Brian Shepard again on this. Going back for more pain. Come on, let's go see little Brian. Wait, scorekeeper's taking the score for Wayne. And he really thinks he can do more than 2.1 million. Okay. Yeah, it seemed like a decent score. Wow. Who else will we have in there? Let's see.
    7:38
    Look at that. Pinball Joe saying hi. Hi, Pinball Joe. Of course we have to wait for the score to show up Mr. Narcissist of course as always So Carlito what do you think about this tournament so far? I'm exhausted that's all You're exhausted? Well do Red Bull This is what you need man Want some coffee? It's good. Coffee and chocolate, sugar rush Alright we're back to Brian now He'll be stepping up All right.
    8:14
    No video, DJ Crazy Nice. You don't see any video? There should be video by now. Anybody else have any issues?
    8:23
    So far, so good. All right. So here's Brian. Quickly into a multi-ball. I really should have been paying more attention. Okay, so I guess you get a quick multi-ball if you put one of the balls in the upper scoop right away. Okay. Right? That's like an instant two. At least that's what I got from reading the card. And what are you shooting for on this multiball? I think you kind of go, I don't know. I was going to say something, but then I'm like, no, I just don't know. I always hate when people are talking on the camera and they don't know what to do on a game, and here I am. Yeah, well, and we're the same way. But at least we admit it. Come on. You know, get some credit for that, right? So I guess maybe shoot the flashing lights. But I know at one point, once you hit enough stuff, it lights up a jackpot, and I guess the jackpot is worth something. Yeah, because the scorer, I mean, he's only got 51,000, 52,000. Yeah, he's not doing much. Not worth very much. Right. So I guess it's one of those, like, you know, try to hold the ball and then... Okay, so he's going for the ramp. Okay, so there you go. So that is one of the... I think that's one of the things to get a multi-ball. So he got another multi-ball. Yep. Did he? We got the Awookas going again. Okay.
    9:28
    Dive, dive, dive. By the way, you can't change the rollover lanes with the flipper buttons. Right? Right Well he did something good there Alright nice great separation Oh people are offering me money Like a dollar Is that a tip?
    9:59
    Where are you going to put it? Huh? We get tips So see I guess for multiball it's not really It's more like just trying to hold that ball And just trying to advance What torpedoes? Yeah I'm thinking it's something with these targets Where's that my circle Yeah you got those and you got the blue ones on the other side Yeah Ryan kept shooting for those I think at least he was Oh and look at that I mean he's actually bumping the ball Into the scoop on the upper left corner It's kind of Man, another Another multi-ball I mean, he's really Alright, Steve is helping us out Yet again From the rule card Jackpot is to destroy Any color ship Four times To life The jackpot Well done Maybe you should be over here, Steve I know, get over here
    11:02
    So I guess now what? He's Trying to do the same thing, right? Try to lock the ball And try to get another multi-ball Right at least that's my assumption like a nice little bump to the middle yeah nice nudging to get that alright let's see yep he is trying to go back up there so he's on course to pass this 2 million score that you were saying why is he doing I guess yeah hats off so let's see he's in 18th position right now on this game that's over on the tournament and there you go with another multi-ball by the way Is there another multi-ball or is it just trying to give him an epileptic attack?
    11:42
    Looks like the epileptic. Epileptic attack? Can you say epileptic three times? Two or three hours of sleep, I don't think I can.
    11:55
    And tonight, oh man. Another 45 minute drive home. Yeah, that's right. Although, I did not cancel my hotel in time to... I have a hotel for tomorrow You're already down $200 and something dollars or what?
    12:11
    Let's not talk about Tournament expenses He's definitely passed his score To my $7 million That's good Wow Now what are the High scores for this right now?
    12:26
    You want me to change these? Of course, come on He's in 18th position You just have to know that he's improving Okay, he's improving.
    12:36
    We're not going to know how much he needs to get first or anything. We just know that he's improving. Just for you, Donnie. Just for you. There you go. See, you have another window open. Come on. I know, I know. I've got a lot of windows here.
    12:48
    Let's see. See, where is he at right now? He's at $2.7 million. That will put him around 13th place. So, what's number five? Number one is $8.5 million. the owner, Mr. Elwin. So to be in the top five, he needs about $4 million. So I'm thinking that's probably what he's thinking he's doing. He looks like he's getting it. It's crazy. I mean, the way he's playing it makes me want to say, hey, wait a second, I could do it too.
    13:21
    But then we go do it and then we don't. So it's really all nudging at the top to get it over to that scoop. There's a lot of nudging. So I guess it is pretty forgiving. I haven't seen any warnings yet.
    13:33
    By the way, isn't that like a wholesome picture of Brian Shepard? I mean, look at that smile. I made him take it. I made sure that that was when I took it, okay? I'm taking credit for that.
    13:47
    More wugas. Dive, dive, dive. Who made this game? What is this? It's a dead east. It's the second game, I believe. First game, Laser War. Then came Torpedo Alley I mean, these are more I've seen But this I've never seen You've seen this before? No No, I still have yet to play it I didn't even give it a shot And I really should Because you know it's Yeah Who knows who You know One unique thing we do here Is the top qualifier Can choose to take out One game from the main bank They can pull a game From the classics bank this year And remove one of the games One of these 12 games In the bottom bank Yep Last year Dave Stewart was not very happy when... Gagno. Right? Right. I think he changed the... He removed Johnny Mnemonic and put in Flash Gordon. Yes. Because he did not want to play Johnny Mnemonic, I believe. I think it was Robert.
    14:48
    Oh, God. Man. And Brian, he's just... Waking up these multiballs. It almost looks like it's pretty easy to get them. Ah. To the outlane. Very nice ball. Yeah, well, I'll have to look up whether... Oh, he's at $4.1 million right now.
    15:07
    With bonus. The bonus is actually pretty significant. $350,000. $4.4 million. So, he broke into the top five right now.
    15:16
    Indeed. Let's see. You are right. Secret Service was after Laser War. My mistake. Laser War, Secret Service, then Torpedo Alley. Ah. How could you not know that, Carl, huh? I know. complete failure me one thing but you come on that's it run as a uh... because he's on brawl three-year-old he's not done yet a pretty ringer and again worrying about what it right this is when you have a little happy moment because in the case top five and stuff and you get this big smile on his face.
    16:04
    All right. So you get to talk a little bit. You get a little adrenaline coming and you're like, okay, I got to play another game now.
    16:18
    So very nice for Brian Shepard. That probably moved him up a little bit. Where are you going in the standings right now?
    16:26
    I don't know yet. I'm gonna set up our next camera here we're moving over to laser work okay let's do something laser work stick with the ditties all right right
    16:41
    David her mama from Los Angeles local ah from Los Angeles that's right David I think I met him the other day we were talking they were gonna see each other So there you go. So laser war basically, so what are you doing? Oh, he forgot. He forgot that that ball, when it comes out of that ramp, you better live catch it. If not, you're dead. So Carlito, tell us, what is it that you got to do on laser war? You got to hit three lights from one of the target banks. So basically either he does what? These over here. Right. These over here. Or these over here. And you have to hit the lights. You can't cheat and just shoot the ball in here or in here or in here? Right, right. Okay. On the settings we have it, yeah, you have to actually shoot the targets. The holes will not advance the paints. Okay. And then what happens? Once you hit those three, then what do you want to do? You get into one-two ball? You need to lock the ball in the course-winding color. He forgot again. Oh, man. David, come on. Well, the lights are flashing. Second time, but you should know. They're bright flashing. No, no, no, no, no. unacceptable you're gonna have to call up David and see what's going on first time shame on you honey how's it work shame on you then shimami is that what it is first time shimayu second time shimami anyways it was his fault
    18:08
    ooh it's kind of hitting that like now what do you think for some quick grabbing can you score some quick points by just going ramp ramp ramp or never You can, yeah, you can. If you can consistently shoot that ramp and actually catch the ball, you can score some quick points. Oh, we have our first photo bomb here. Our disjointed camera bomb over here.
    18:32
    Decided to just come over and just leave, just like that. Like a quickie. This guy. So he does have pretty good flipper control. I mean, he's doing okay now. I mean, he's in ball three, but... Well, he's improved his score. That's what matters. Although it's still not that high. No. All right, so he's really trying to... So he's in multi-ball right now. He needs to lock the two balls back, any two, which will then get him to a three-ball multi-ball. Okay. So he's locked one. There he goes. He's locked two. Nice. All right, now he's going to have a three-ball. And he wants to shoot these targets all worth $100,000 each. Well, it is worth it. They increased the jackpot by $100,000 each. Okay. Right now, the jackpot on the ramp is worth 100,000 points.
    19:21
    It's fine. You don't need three balls in this. You can play with two. So you're not going to get three. You're fine. Yeah. So now, what do you want to do? You have one ball trapped on the left flipper. I mean, what do you think? Just try to keep it there? I want to make sure that I can at least collect the jackpot. He's got a 700,000-point jackpot right now. So right now, it's basically ramp. At this point, I'd be shooting the ramp just to get those points. Make sure I collect them. And they're gone. Gone. Just like that. $700,000. So all that work just went poof. Yep.
    19:51
    Yeah, we're looking at you. We're filming all of you. Yeah. Why? Yeah, we're looking at you on the camera. Why?
    20:05
    Hmm. Oh, and he lost the ball. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, blame the nurse. Fool me once, shame on me. See what we think is real. Blame the nurse? Ha ha ha.
    20:18
    Name the nurse? Why the nurse? It's from the American's Most Haunted. 1.2 million. Nice, uh, nice improvement there. Mm-hmm.
    20:31
    Let's see, who's up next on this? It is... He liked that score so much he actually took a picture. He did, didn't he? No, he didn't. Well, I think it's because, look, because... Return to base, you're fine. You like it. Did you guys actually know that Carl had like an inclination to sing? No. I mean, Carl is actually very musical. I'm just going to embarrass myself. No, you did not embarrass yourself. You show people other characteristics. I mean, we're not just about pinball people, okay? All right, let's see who's going to win. We have other skills. Sanjay travels all the way across the country to be here.
    21:07
    And we've gone blurry. Why have we gone blurry? I don't know. The camera is on manual focus, and it went blurry. That's it. Get your money back.
    21:16
    Did he get a house ball? He got a house ball. Yeah. There you go. He's back. So we should probably thank the John Weeks and the Museum of Pinball for allowing us to have this here and setting us up with all these wonderful cameras and TVs. Yeah. If you haven't seen any photos of this set up here, we have TVs over every single game. Oh, wow. Yeah. Two house balls for time, dude. That's pretty rough. Forget Papa or Pimper, man. It's in right here. I mean, we have, we could actually, like, touch the screen. I mean, come on. We could touch the screen.
    21:48
    You're still talking about that? Yeah, I'm still talking about that. This is really cool. I've been looking at that. Old news. You know, I mean, it's really cool. Old news. You know?
    21:58
    This is Sanjay's first game on this. None recorded. See? So, you've got only one way, but up. Is that the right saying? You can only go up, or you have only one way to go that's up? I don't know. I'm a foreigner, so I don't know all these things. Just stop. We get help from people. Come on, people. Like, chime in, you know?
    22:18
    Text the right saying. Who was it that did it? Waddle Jr. There you go. Come on. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Oh, nice little nudge. See that? Yeah, that was a... That was nice.
    22:29
    See, at this point, even if he scores a bad score, he's going to remember, ah, I had that nudge. Oh. Good. Good save. Still alive. It's hard to get, you know, loop that ramp over and over to get up to 5X. Yeah. Now, what was he shooting for there? I don't know. I don't know if he was going for the blue, but... He should have, yeah, but it looked like he was going for the lanes. All right. Oh, that's trouble. So what do you do when you have it on your left flipper? What do you think? Do you try to go for blue? This is crazy. I go for the yellows. You go for the yellows? I like the yellow targets. Really? Don't ask me why, but I go for yellows. All right.
    23:05
    Look at that. Now, does that give you anything? It gave him 24,000 points for that. Okay, but it does not give you a blue. No, it does not give you a blue. It does not give you a blue. All right, right now his priority is, in my opinion, is to relight his kickback. He's used it up. You light the in-lanes by shooting the ramp, and then going over an in-lane switch will relight the kickback. All right, he's locked the ball in the blue. Nice. So I'd be trying to shat the lane, because there's no direct feed into the in-lane. But that's the only way you can relight the kickback. That's the only way. And that kickback is so important. Yeah, but I don't know, man. Shatsy never Well I guess Yeah I guess so Is it a pretty easy Shats or Yeah it's not too shabby Alright I like that little You saw that little You did like a little Drop catch pass over To the red clipper He's got a two Two ball multi ball Yep There you go We're at three now Alright Shoot shoot shoot Shoot the iron Alright Yeah shoot the iron Is it Oh oh oh I thought it was Shoot the iron Get the iron chip Wasn't it Get the iron chip Shoot the iron cannon See and you saw He lost two balls Very quickly there Yeah And if he had Re-lit his kick back He, you know. It would have given him the bag, so he would have been okay. Yeah. So the first thing I do is the kickback has been used. Relight it. Shats. So learn the shats move.
    24:20
    Or as we call it, the alley pass. Is that what it's called? The official name, the alley pass here? Yeah. Okay. Ah. All right.
    24:30
    It's not bad, though. This was just regular rubber rings, Dr. Dave's pinball. No Titan silicone rings. I think the only game with a silicone variant here is Lord of the Rings. I think everything else is... Oh, no, there's some others with some silicone rubber. Hoops. We'll get to Hoops. Hoops is great. Ah, Hoops. Hoops is great. Very bouncy.
    24:50
    And that Hoops, Lord of the Rings with those silicone rubbers that you put over there. But still, it treated me okay. I got a pretty good screen. Boy, I think I have too many camera inputs on my computer It's getting a little chugging a little By the way, thank you Waddle for saying There's nowhere to go but up Unless you're playing hoops You'll never up on hoops But we'll find out Because we're about to go to hoops Should we go to hoops? No, we don't want to go to hoops Where do we want to go? You just want to see Brian Shepard's Lovely profile picture Let's see Brian Shepard's lovely picture Come on Let's see Hoops is Oh Hoops is the one That gave me the camera trouble Was it? Yeah so we don't have any Oh well Sorry No Hoops No no no We can get to Hoops I think We can do Hoops? Okay That's not Hoops No That's Waterworld That's Hoops Hold on hold on It's gotta get over there Oh Come on Go live There we go We're on hoops.
    26:00
    All right, so let's see. So on hoops, he's got, we don't know yet. What are you trying to do on hoops? Well, on hoops, I guess there's a couple of ways of playing it. One way, you could just kind of grind it and just try to get hang time. What's hang time? Hang time is the little green light that you see over here and it lights up Hey what going on with your touch Oh on with the touch No touch no touch You got to ask permission before you touch Something is... No touch at all right now. No touch at all? No. Well, anyways, basically, the way you get hang time is you've got to get the skill shot up on top. You see there's a little arrow all the way on the top.
    26:46
    It's kind of like your skill shot. When you hit that arrow, it lights up hang time for a limited amount of time. Alright, let's see. Does it work now? There we go. So that's your arrow right there that you want to hit on your skill shot. And then... And then it gives you this helpful here. Life special after every 80 basket points. Oh, wow. So how much is a special worth? It's so helpful. It's worth a free game. A free game? How about that, huh?
    27:14
    If it was coin drop, I'd be like, Hey, no. It's not coin drop. All right, we're waiting for the next play on hoops, which is going to be... Oh, man, this is just getting better and better. I just finished all the mocha, and now it's down to the whipped cream. Well, it's got the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup, so this is it. This is where the drugs are, right here. Donnie. What? Wine. It's good. You guys have no idea. We've been here since, what, 11 o'clock in the morning. It's been 12 hours, you know, harrowing 12 hours. 9 a.m. 1am for you, it doesn't matter, who cares about you we're talking about us players not the organizers you guys get paid good money to do this so what are you talking about that's right, you are paying me for this I am paying you for this alright, Phil Burnbaugh currently in 45th position Mr. Phil he's one of our international players from Canada we have a couple of international players We got Canada, we got a couple from Sweden too, right? I thought Ontario was just on the road. No, not quite. No, this is the other Ontario. It's after the comma. If it's before the comma, it doesn't work. After the comma, yeah.
    28:31
    We got Sweden and we also got Australia too. We got a couple, I think we got one from Australia. So, hey, not bad. Yes, pinball narcissists. These pictures were taken today. Everyone was subjected to release forms and to taking a picture. We also did the fingerprinting, blood test, and urine test. There you go.
    28:53
    Always taking it just an extra step. Yeah. And by the way, those pictures are taken right after the urine test. So, I mean, you know, you get a little bit of relief right after the urine test. So that's why they look so satisfied and smiling.
    29:07
    So, anyways. Oops. All right. So let's get back to how you play Hoop. So there's lanes up here at the top. Let's see. I'm going to try and stretch my arm here. Yep.
    29:18
    That lights your locks, whatever the other one. The flashing arrow you see right there, that lights the hang time. That's right. Hang time is basically it gives you points. And there you go. He just hit it. So it gives you points for hitting. Yeah, and he just raided. But yeah. Go ahead. No, no, no. That's fine. Go ahead. No, no, no. You go ahead. No, no, no. You go ahead. I'm done. You need some glory. Come on. It's not over with me. Come on. You can get some glory. Come on. So talk about hang time. What happens when you get hang time? Basically, you switch. It's increased value of your hang time bonus. And you collect it at the end of the ball. Or you can also roll over the right end lane, which then collects hang time bonus on the captive ball. Now, it doesn't remove your hang time bonus. You actually can collect it multiple times. Mm-hmm.
    30:05
    And this game's been playing pretty mean. And that's this guy right here, right? That is correct. Now, how do you relight that once you hit it once?
    30:14
    I believe that's the right lane. Ah, the right lane, which is this guy right here. That guy, huh? All right. Here, I'll fix my whiteboard. All right? We're going to change it to yellow and make it look like it and have it be thick.
    30:27
    All right, now. Isn't yellow much better? All right, let's load up the new player here. All right. One more game on this. Hey, Phil. Come here a sec. All right, we have a local on here. Brian Dool, I believe. Brian Dool. From Huntington Beach. Coming in the middle. First game on Hoops. Right, right. Why are you subjecting people? Oh, why not subject them? I mean, they're our subjects. Hey, Phil, so as an international player, I mean, and after that game of Hoops, I mean, how do you feel about that? I kind of sucked. Yeah, actually, you kind of did. We saw it, too. But, you know, we figured we get it firsthand from you. We get it what? So we get a percent from you that you sucked on that one, you know? All right. I'm glad I could help. Yeah. No, no, absolutely. I think I should do better in the future. So what are you going to play now? What am I going to play now? I signed up for something. Water World. Now, are you going to suck there, too, or are you going to be okay? I've never played it before. I've got to figure out how to play it. I've never played it. So you're probably going to suck, too. I'm probably going to suck there, too. Because I've sucked in all the time. Well, that's okay. You know what? I've got leaves. Thanks, Jim. Yeah, thanks. Appreciate that. And don't worry, we'll keep filming you Even though you suck at soccer Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of Thanks for having me Focus, Johnny Forget about the Frappuccino Best advice you're going to get all day Right there, right there on the screen I'm not going to forget about the Frappuccino This is very good Frappuccino You guys understand, we are in the middle of nowhere We're like where the tumbleweeds are like Ryan's in a three ball multi-ball here So what he's trying to do is lock all three balls in the three scoops. Now, he's just lost one. If he locks all three in the three scoops, one... Super slam.
    32:11
    Those three, he gets a super slam, which is worth $3 million. Now, when you have two balls, if you lock two balls in any of the three scoops together... Why is he waiting? ...then it's worth $1 million.
    32:20
    Why was he waiting? Okay, there we go. So now he has a chance. So what is he doing? He's trying to get his hang time bonus also. Why? Because I believe hang time is more valuable when you're in I would still get a million though. Yeah, I would still try to go for the million too. Yeah, especially when you got both balls cradled. Nice nudging there. Yeah.
    32:41
    And this game has had a post-foot move just above the left slingshot. I know. Very, very evil. Thank you, Steve. Brian is ranked 988. Yeah, but he's playing pretty good. He's got some pretty good flipper skills. So I don't know why he's shooting that because that was old. Wow. There's no rubber on that post. There's no rubber.
    33:03
    So he's going for out of you. So he doesn't know the game. Maybe not. Yeah, he doesn't know he should be locking those balls. Because you shoot one to left that lock and then shoot it in one of the other two. Shoot it. Shoot it up. Backhand it to the upper scoop. No, yeah, he's not familiar with the rules, which is fine.
    33:19
    Hey, Anonymous, how you doing? I mean, he's got good flipper skills though. I mean, he's got good control. By the way, great picture of Brian I haven't seen all these pictures yet. It's kind of funny to see the faces people put. It's awesome. I like it. I did see Jermaine put a funny face on the all, but we'll have to see if we can get him on. Yeah.
    33:43
    There you go. Very nice. So he actually, you know, put the ball back up. He got the hang time lit again.
    33:49
    And he relit the lock. Let's see what he's going to go for. Is he going to play hang time or lock? I think he's just going for hang time. He is going for hang time. He just lived the hang time collect, which is he's got $240,000. It's not really. Yeah, you've got to build it a little bit more. So let's see if he's going to try to. He's breaking it. I don't know if he's going for lock or. Wow, backhanding it. He's going for hang time. So the best way to build hang time is via that spinner on the left where you see the big green flashing lights. There you go. He locked the ball. He's done a bad thing. Now, to start multi-ball, you have to have both locks lit. That's a setting in this game. Here's your short plunge, Johnny, that you were asked about the other day. I'm telling you. I think it might be worth it. I mean, maybe not in this case because he doesn't have the lock yet. I think once you have all locks and basically you have nothing else to shoot up there, I think I would go for a short punch. Maybe.
    34:40
    Nice little pass over there. Nice nudging. Very nice nudging. See some good skills for someone we don't have an area of. I know. From Huntington Beach in our area. He's unranked. Well, no, he's unranked on this game. Oh, on this game. He's ranked... Oh, he's... Okay.
    35:00
    He's overall ranked somewhere. Look at that backhand to the top. Man. He's got some skills. Very nice. He's got good skills. Look at that. He just got lock and he lit the hang time. So at this point, what is he going to do? Is he going to try to get the other lock or is he going to try to build more hang time? I got to see where Brian is actually. Alright, let's see what he's going to do here He just got here Why is he shooting for alley-oop? He doesn't know the full rules of it Oh man If you're not knowing the rules, he's actually doing very well Well, yeah But imagine if he knew the rules So the thing, it's kind of hard to see But way over here are your number of baskets And that gets calculated times A thousand? No And it's times Times a hundred thousand Excuse me. Times 10,000. 10,000, yeah. 530. That's right. 100 baskets equals a million points. That's at the end of your last ball, you'll get a million points. So you better not tilt on your last ball. That's right. He's still on ball one? No, no, no. He's. Where is he at? Yeah. He's on ball one. And he's getting alley-oops. Come on. Who are you going for special?
    36:13
    Oh, my gosh. All right. So now his hang time timed out. So he doesn't have that anymore. All right. So he'll be. I assume he's just going to be shooting for the right orbit to get back up. If he understands how the hang time bonus works. But, man, he's got the collect lit right now. How much is his hang time right now bonus? He's got to be pretty up there.
    36:37
    Still going for... Ah, and that's what happens. That's that rough... Yeah. But still, let's see the bonus over here. 700, not a lot. But you see how much ball time he had and yet he only ended up with 1.2 Imagine the difference if he knew the rules
    36:56
    The rules Yeah, so that that shot thought worth No, it's not worth anything. He's shooting it, but I feel like I should walk over and Someone tell him how to play the game. I know maybe we should get him afterwards Because the other scores he's got He's got an 812 on Twister And 93 on High Speed Those are the only two modern games he's played So we got a question here Does collect bonus time out? Yes, collect bonus does time out You want to catch it You want to get it Nice back end of the ball He's got flipper skills He does Now he's He's pretty low on the On the rankings So that means that he's not going to be restricted to 2A or anything Ah I fumbled He fumbled Oh well Still I played for a while Now here comes the basket bonus And look at that It's going to give him a million That's going to put him at about 2.3 Not bad at all. Alright, alright, let me get this switch, sorry Had some, uh It's fun having all these different hats, you know Alright What hats? You mean like these hats over here? It's gone, ha! Oh, come on, I was touching the screen Man Uh, let's see What haven't we shown? Everything, just about Um, what else is odd That we haven't shown? Waterworld, right? We wanted to go to Waterworld Alright, let's see Waterworld Oh, let's see if I can actually do this This is a DMD game, so it goes on this setup, and I want two, two, one.
    39:14
    And Waterworld up here. Oh, we're going back to Phil. This is crazy. I mean, this whole setup over here, we got mixers on the right-hand side. I mean, if only you guys could see the setup. We had Phil, it looks like, at least.
    39:30
    Ah, Mr. Phil. He just finished, I think. Waterworld. This is one of Jim's machines, huh? Yes, this is one of Jim's favorite machines. All right. So what do you got to do on this thing?
    39:40
    Scoop, scoop, scoop? Oh, Phil is just starting his game on it. Excellent. Oh, good. Yeah, you're going for the scoop. You want to try and get a three-in-a-row on the board in the row, the grid of three-by-three? Okay. Three-in-a-row will start the main multiball or light the main multiball, the Sink the Deez. The Sink the Deez. Is that lucrative? Yeah. Wow, did I just spit all over the place? You did, thank you. All over my monitor. Right now. And the microphone, too.
    40:14
    All right, Johnny, you're by yourself. I've got to look for tablets here. I ran my battery on one. They got missing? All right.
    40:23
    Don't kill the broadcast. So I have free ring. This is cool. Oh, no. I'm going to go crazy here. Uh-oh. And that's a problem. When you start having one of the iPads go off,
    40:37
    you start seeing the hands come up, you'll start waiting and getting frustrated and saying, I want to play. Why am I not playing? I want to play.
    40:45
    Oh. So I'll just read this ball. So let's see. Where are we at? We're on ball two. I'm going to apologize in advance because, you know, I just finished my coffee, so.
    41:11
    Holy shit. That's okay. By the way, we saw you on here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You played for a while. Yeah, but you didn't know what you were doing. I didn't know what I was doing. I know. I was like, just shoot the scoops. You know again. Come on. And we were trying to, like, we wanted to go over there.
    41:31
    Yeah, he's like, come on. It's okay, I'm going to teach you right afterwards because you got skills, man.
    41:43
    We're just talking to Brian right now when he was playing at the... We got Mr. Bob Matthews over here overlooking.
    41:54
    Want to join in a little bit? Oh, you got to play? Okay, he's got to play. See, nobody wants to do this. Only I'm doing this. I don't know why I'm doing this. I mean, I should be playing. Yet here I am just yapping.
    42:11
    So let's see. What has he got going on? He's got... He just relit his scoop. But he wants to try to hit it.
    42:22
    See if he can hit it. Nope. He just got dirt. At least he got dirt. So what a filling up with. Yeah, their bonus is 20 million. 146? No, that's not gonna be enough. But, it's his first score, so at least he's got something.
    42:48
    Alright, who we got playing next? We got Mr. Germain there. So how do you switch the players? There we go. Oh, you changed it. What did you click?
    43:05
    Magic. Oh, magic. I clicked magic. I lost my scorekeeper. What happened? He went on strike? He vanished.
    43:15
    Well, dude, you don't pay him enough. That's the problem, man. Come on. I upped the payment, you know. Oh, you're paying him union fee or you're still on union? What's going on? We were doing what? Two entries per hour. last year, which is crazy. I don't know.
    43:30
    Oh, you got another one. Ah, I see. There's always greedy people in the world. They're willing to work for almost free. Alright, thank you.
    43:41
    Awesome. Okay, what did I miss? Jermaine just started. Okay, Jermaine started, so but Phil, he didn't do too much. He got 146 mil. That's not too bad, but eh, it's also. So let's see. So you got Jermaine. He got a skill shot, I believe, and that's how he got the multi-ball. The easy multi-ball, right. The easy multi-ball that's not really worth anything, but let's see if we can do something with it.
    44:08
    Drain's so easy out those out lanes. Oh, yeah. And that's why he'll don't last anything. That's to mention you don't have a boss either.
    44:15
    Let's see. He's going for the scoop. And every time you hit the scoop, it awards you whatever. Wow, look at that. A comeback from the dead. Just like that. I can't remember what the awards are on the grid, though.
    44:30
    Yeah, there's a color. Look at this. You could do a three in a row, but the problem is that the moment he hits a switch, it's going to change.
    44:37
    So the only way you could do it is not that way. Is the orbit and fly catch. I actually went to the D's. He's got three in a row now, doesn't he? Doesn't that three in a row count? I don't know. That's diagonal, so I don't know if it counts. Yeah, it does. The dive is lit. Yeah. So he wants to shoot back at the scoop. Boom. There you go. Sink the D's. The book turns around. And now it's locked. Four balls? Yeah, four balls. It's a pretty easy shot. It's not a hard shot. Yeah, the ramp moves. Feeds the left flipper.
    45:07
    Cradle. Shoot the ramp. So he's got two of them. Now, how lucrative is this sink the D's? I keep spinning like I'm the screen. This is disgusting. You did it last time. I had to clean this thing. I know. No, no, no, no. Oh, okay. Just let it be now. All right.
    45:27
    Man, why did I invite him? You know what it is? It's because I floss. You know, when you floss, like, you know, spit kind of spits out from between your teeth and stuff. So, advice, basically, don't floss if you're going to go do commentary.
    45:41
    All right. So, now shoot all the lit shots, which will, after he does all that, he will light the super jackpot. The super jackpot is lucrative, I believe. That's where the points are. That's where the points are? Okay. So, how much does he have right now? He's got 145 million. He needs to hit that one shot left, right? Yeah. And he did. But he won't have enough time. But it doesn't matter. Yeah, there's no grace period on these got leaves. So that shot gave him, what, about 10 million, I believe? Yeah. All right. Okay, so now he's back over to die for treasure. Now, I did this die for treasure. I almost finished it, but I'm not sure what you get when you complete it. And it's kind of a scary mode because look at the nice nudge. Oh, boy, that orbit just left. It's a and then it's out
    46:25
    Three kilos of dirt. Yeah Your shot for the jackpot 188 that's actually a really a pretty decent score ball to especially you got the skills shot. So you got a jackpot for a whole lot of Now I'm honestly surprised your main claim because he's at ninth position. He has 288 million There are loads of games here that I'm sure he has worse scores on So why is he playing Waterworld? Why is he playing this? He just likes it.
    46:55
    Maybe he just likes it. I'll ask him later. Once he finishes. Gottlieb didn't have grace period technology. You're hilarious. Unbelievable. Oh, and he fumbled it.
    47:11
    That was a fumble. Alright, Dirt Bones is Dirt Bones, right? Huh? No? Okay. I don't remember. I got like 70 million off of the dirt bonus at the end of my game. Yeah? It adds up. That's why I wonder if you want to trade in dirt for stuff. I guess if it's a multi-ball, but... Move your arm, buddy. I got to get into the mouse. No, go ahead.
    47:34
    Unless you want to control this. No, I don't want to control it. Come on, you can do it. I don't control it.
    47:39
    I just talk. All right, let's go to Twister. We have yet to see Twister. Another oddball selection here by Mr. Belsito. All right, let's see Twister.
    47:48
    A lot of loboggers. You know, I haven't played Twister, actually, so far. And we have Mr. Matthew Pollock.
    48:03
    One of the two. Jermaine. Get over here. There's a mystery. Come here a second. Get a little closer. Get in the middle over here so we can see you. So, there's a mystery. You got, like, the ninth top scorer? Yeah, ninth score on Waterworld. On Waterworld. So what the heck were you thinking playing it again? Waterworld? Yeah. I can see me getting better. You can do better. You got ninth. So you're saying that all your other scores, you probably have all the top eight, right? That's what you said. I play games in sequence. Like I've been playing the older one, then the DMDs, and I've been playing the Gottlieb games. So I've played whatever the other Gottlieb games are. Oh, Hoops. And now I'm playing that one. Okay. Trying to get used to the flippers and the type of machines, that kind of thing. Okay. So there's some kind of formula that we just don't understand that you have in mind that it's going to make you... I play Machine in a row. I play like 4 World in a row and I'm moving something else. I haven't picked up the light yet, so I'm going to try that. Okay. All right. Well, thanks for your input. I mean, I still don't understand, but it's okay. We believe you. I know. I could be 500 million.
    49:09
    That's the goal. All right. Anyways, what are we watching here? We're watching Twister. Alright, what are you trying to do on Twister?
    49:21
    Twister, I believe you want to get a multi-ball. You don't say. Yes. Really, a multi-ball. Yes. No way. And it's about hitting shots over and over, right?
    49:35
    So you got the left. So you got the drop target up at the top. You see the orange light flashing. Behind that is a lock. You knocked on the ball. He has a multi-ball. So you're saying this one over here? Yep, that one. Okay. The other multiball is the ramp, I believe. Is the ramp enough times to light all the lights? Right. Five ramps to start, seven on the second one. What about the left orbit?
    49:58
    That's another multiball. Yeah, I think so. Is it a cow Jim was telling me? Honestly, again, another game I don't know very well. Yeah. Sorry, fellas.
    50:07
    We played this, what was it, at Pimata Lake or something? You might have. I didn't. Yeah, it was at Pimata Lake.
    50:17
    So Matt Pawlok, he's one of the LA people. West LA. Yes. So basically there's two gangs here in LA, Orange County, right? So we have a big feud. What is it, the Inland Empire versus LA? Always, yeah. Right? Of course. So what's the deal? The Inland Empire, they're more like aggressive competitors. Like, ah, you know, I'm going to kick your ass and that kind of stuff. Hey, hey, hey. Butt, butt. Kick your butt. Family. Kick your yeah, I could say but rear pick your rear
    50:53
    Your hiney So I have to take care of something Let's see, so he's got one ramp and it's one of those
    51:12
    Ramps can like the laser war just I could have saved that, but I don't know. So he's on a multibar right now. And I think in this multibar you want to basically hit what, the orbits? Or at least that's what's flashing. Maybe the ramp too?
    51:30
    Let's see. Okay, he's got a nice little cradle. Nice separation. Try to hit the ramp. Didn't hit it. Of course you got the little spinner right there in the middle. Let's give you a little whirlwind flavor.
    51:49
    And there you go. Nice, Crater. Now he's going to go for the ramp, and he misses. Okay, let's see if he can do it again. Another chance. Oh, and he wants to hit it on the fly. He doesn't even stop. He's like, I'm not going to stop.
    52:02
    No, he's got it from the stop. Aim, count to ten, focus, fire. And that's what happens when you focus and you're in control. You see? You get the shot. So always be in control.
    52:16
    You make it sound so easy. Ah, it is. You're kidding? It's just pinball. Or as a lot of people say, ah, it's only luck.
    52:26
    It's all luck. You do have a lot of luck. There we go. Nice separation. And now he wants to relight the jackpot right with the orbit.
    52:37
    And he hit the orbit. And more orbit. He needs switch hits, right? This is switches. Is it switches? Oh, it's not orbit. Okay, but the orbit is not a switch. 20 more switches it would have been. And then it lights the ramp for Jack Black. Gotcha.
    52:49
    So at this point he done so now he wants to start a different multiball So he going for the 5 ball multi The 5 ball multi the one behind the target over there I surprised he trying to short punch here because there is a ball save And he just wasted the ball save And he's going to pay for it He is going to pay for it Oh man Nasty Knowledge of the machine That's a big thing Still he's doing okay I mean, $495 million, I mean, that's pretty good. Is it?
    53:22
    Is it, Johnny? Well, I don't know. He's in 20th. Let's take a look. Let's find out. What are Trisha's scores like? So he just broke a half a billion, so he's got a multiball ready. $500 million puts you in the mid-20s, or no, low-20s. Low-20s. Low-20s means 21, 22, or? No, 28, 29. See, why do they call it low-20s? The low 20s will be 21, 22, right? Well, you're going from the top to the bottom, not from the bottom to the top. Well, yeah, but then low 20s will be like 29, but isn't that like high 20s? Think of the order you're going in. It's reverse order. It's illogical. I don't know. It doesn't make sense. Okay, you're Italian. Yes. Oh, I shouldn't say that. It's illogical. Why am I saying that? That's it. Come on. You guys are with me, right?
    54:06
    Actually, we increased our viewers. Look at that. 60. We're up to 60 viewers. How about that? We've stolen the Papa TV channel. That's why. Well, yeah, but we were at 13, now we're at 60 I mean, should we cut the commercial or what? Like, you know, get a word to our sponsors and stuff Do we have any sponsors?
    54:23
    No sponsors? Move your arm Sorry Why? Because I have to operate the mouse Alright, go ahead, operate Come on, we have some sponsors, right?
    54:35
    We have a... Boy, this thing is just chugging along here Nifty LEDs Nifty LEDs, custom pinball lighting How do you contact it? We don't know because there's no website or anything. NiftyLED.com, right? NiftyLED. Okay, fine. NiftyLED.com. And Modica. So there you go.
    54:54
    So there's a little plug for NiftyLED, which we got paid lots of money for. Oh. Actually, they are giving gift certificates to the top players. To the top players? First place, I believe, in every division. Oh, there you go. And we have four divisions, Classics A and B and Open A and B. Yes, we actually have a B, a Classics B division here. Okay, so then we can't say nifty, ugly, cool. Because we're cool. So, we're done with Twister? What are we doing? Let's go over to, how about the doctor? The doctor? The doctor's in the house?
    55:28
    See some Sonic booms. Oh, somebody's frustrated. We just saw somebody jumping around. Let's see, Doctor Who, Doctor Who. Goodbye. And now it's Derek Niazga. There we go.
    55:47
    The top eight qualifiers get a bye. Yes. So we have 24 finalists for the A division. Top eight get a bye. And then we have eight finalists for the D division. Mm-hmm.
    56:00
    All right. We're waiting on the next player. Yeah. On Doctor Who here. Derek just got $130 million from Portland, Oregon.
    56:10
    Currently in 31st position. Mm-hmm. Game position 30 or something Okay, have you played any games so far or what? A few Anything worth keeping? Yeah, a couple Okay So secretive, huh?
    56:32
    You can go to NeverDrains.com 2016 to view the standings for the tournament I like the tone that you use to do that Is that the plug you were looking for? You just went close to the mic and you can go to... You put the Carl... What?
    56:52

    57:18
    Boy, this is the only problem with Doctor Who is it takes a while for the scores to show up. Yeah, and that's where they're waiting, waiting, waiting.
    57:26
    Wine. All right, coming up next on Doctor Who will be Stacy Moritz. Hey, we just dropped to 51 viewers. What the heck? We lost like nine viewers. It's late, Johnny. It's 10-10. So what? No, no, no. That's unacceptable, guys. Come on. Call up your friends. Call up your family. Tell them you've got to log in to NeverDreams.com. Is that correct? Yeah, that's right.
    57:57
    Did I say it with the right tone or NeverDreams.com? Yeah, we're at 1080p right now. Maybe tomorrow I'll do a 720p with a 60 for a second or something. And for Sunday, there's going to be an industry first. We're going to be broadcasting at 4K, okay? 4K. You're bringing the horsepower? No.
    58:17
    Next year, 8K, okay? Yeah. Your hamster wheels are coming in? Filling the whole building with them? Hamster wheels?
    58:30
    Phil says he wants the broadcast to follow all of his games. Let's see, where is Phil next? Phil is going to be on Lord of the Rings. No, we're not going there. I like it though I was playing it and it's actually surprisingly easy to get the Return of the King multiball alright let's start over here we have a request I'm Carl D'Angelo this is Johnny Modica we are at the Museum of Pinball for Arcade Expo 2.0 and this is the It Never Drains in Silicon Southern California Tournament Silicon what? Silicon Valley? oh it's this Johnny It's late Silicon Valley Second New York?
    59:16
    He's over with the second New York Oh really? We were just informed that Zach Sharp has run through Two save New Yorks on Godzilla Unbelievable Should we switch to the Godzilla real quick? Nope We're waiting? No? We're staying here? We've got Stacy coming up Alright Here we go Zach is done Yeah he's done Alright So we're going to have a Game of Doctor Who here Everyone starts with the sixth doctor for the multiple player. Is it just Sonic Booms all day? You know what? I was playing it, and yeah, I got almost $700 million with Sonic Booms. You miss those shots, and you get toast, don't you? Yeah, but you know what? It's not too bad. Oh, man, this ball is just... It's going. It wants to go out.
    59:57
    Yes, this is at Arcade Expo in Banning with a massive amount of games. I wish I had an external shot so I could just, you know... How many games are here? Like 900? Is that right? Is that? No, no, no. It's somewhere around 500 pinball machines and 200 or so arcades, I think. Is it? It's more than you want to count. Okay, but they did the Guinness World Record for the number of pinball machines playing at the same time? I think it was last year. Yeah, last year.
    60:23
    So there's a lot of machines. So if you want to play pinball, come to BAM. So that was a quick ball going for a Sonic Boom. Okay, there you go. Now, the interesting part about Sonic Boom, that ball comes out always different as it comes out of that little hole. So you have to be ready for it. But if you're ready, you can hit it. You see, it's not that hard to hit it. So Sonic Boom, after you get the 10 loops, the ball will continue down. There he goes. There's Sonic Boom. Let's see. There you go. She nailed the shot. Nailed the other one. Oh, missed it. You still got time? You still can do it. Come on. Oh, missed the shot. And so the Sonic Boom value is $10 million, plus you typically have a 4X multiplier going after shooting that side ramp so many times. Right. So you're getting $40 million a shot. That's how most people like to play this. Yep. So, I guess another strategy would be to, uh, multi-ball?
    61:09
    Correct. Multi-ball is another. Yeah, and, uh, video mode. Video mode is okay, especially if you have your multiplier maxed out. Video mode is great if the pop-bumpers aren't so active, but the pop-bumpers on here are super active. I got two video modes. I got two video modes when I was playing it, but... I want to cut to the big deal. Do you have your D pop-bumper-inator like you? Well, it's funny because the pop-up parade actually popped it back in. So it was coming out and then it hit the pop-up parade and put it back in. But I don't know. It's not too bad.
    61:44
    All right. Well, we have some improvement here. We can play it. Let's see. She had $77 million. Now she's got $85 million. So definitely some improvement. Always good to see. All right. I think we'll stick on this for one more game after this. These are relatively short games. Yeah. And another Portland player. That's kind of nice. Yeah. We had a lot of out-of-state players here. Yeah. Very nice to see. Yeah. A lot of support. I have to thank everyone for coming out this way. Yeah, this is great.
    62:07
    Ooh. Ah. That happens. Oh, well. But still, she improved, right? $100 million, so... Yeah, a little. It won't be much, I don't think. Yeah. But still, considering that she's probably not restricted today, that puts her in a good position for me. See, her best score was 77, so she did improve.
    62:31
    All right, coming up next is going to be Zachary Parks. I believe Zachary Parks is our youngest competitor this year. Oh, yeah. 13 years old, I think. 13 years old. Man, oh, man. I think.
    62:44
    He's here with his mom. Is it Alisa? Aaliyah? I think it was Aaliyah Parks. Oh, I don't know. I'll find out later.
    62:53
    Anyways. So what's going on in our feed? Anybody said anything? No, not really. All right, here we have Zachary Parks. All right, the youngest player yet.
    63:10
    Currently, he's in 29th position on this game, huh? So he's got $152 million. Let's see if he can go to that. So that was curious. What is he going for? Is he going for video mode?
    63:23
    No, but he picked Doctor No. 3. What's Doctor No. 3? What is that, a limited minute? Does he know his doctors? I believe he does. He looks like he knows what he's doing. Well, why is he doing Unlimited Millions? Or maybe he doesn't. Yeah, Unlimited Millions is not the choice I would think.
    63:44
    At the same time, I don't think you score a hundred and some odd million on this game by accident. This game is so easy to just score, you know, two million or three million. Yeah. Unless you start nailing the ramp and you can get the sonic booms, I guess.
    63:59
    Well, yeah, he's not really going. I think he was going for multiple. I mean, not for multiple. For video mode. I really do. I think he was shooting for the rescue targets. Okay. Wow. And he just dreamed. Is that all three balls? Yeah, that's all three balls. Very rough. Rough. Sorry, Zach.
    64:16
    And, yeah, we see Steve Bowden right in front on getaway. Let's move over to a different game at this point. What do we got? Let me do it over here.
    64:32
    Well, why don't we see Steve since we're right there. All right, let's see Steve. Let's see. Get away. Seven and seven and eight.
    64:49
    Mr. Steve Bowden, the IFPA Player of the Year, I believe, right? Was he? Wow. You don't keep up with anything, do you, Johnny? No, I don't. He's in red line mania. I think I saw he was on ball one, too. He's on Redline Mania right now. Oh, very nice.
    65:06
    See, we're just cherry picking. We're like, see whoever does good. And we're like, okay, there we go. Really? Is that what we've been doing?
    65:14
    So, let's see. We're in Redline Mania. So, what do you want to do when you're in Redline Mania? Super jackpots?
    65:21
    Yep. Like that? Super jackpots. One more time. He almost got it in there. ah, lost one ball yeah, that's fine, let it go focus on when you need to focus keep the one cradle he's not going to flip, right? he's going to just let it come down let's see oh, there's a little bump there, huh?
    65:53
    at that speed, it looks like it might be nice little ah, and then lost it All right, back to first gear. Got 120 million.
    66:08
    There you go. So, is he going to try to go for RPMs? I'm thinking RPMs or burn rubber. And, nope. He'll just go for the outline drain. And you can see the desperation.
    66:26
    Not desperation. It's more like frustration, huh? Well, that's a successful first ball, I'd say. Yeah. 120 mil? Yeah. You got three times? You're good.
    66:37
    All right. He's teasing me out a couple of years, yeah? Yeah. Helps out. Oh, wow. Third one? Yeah. He got a third one. I'm not brave enough for that one. I actually got red light mania by doing that. You know that? By hitting the last RPM?
    66:54
    He's up. Let it drain. What do you call it? The pity RPM? No. What do you call it? No. No? Not for the RPM? No. All right.
    67:04
    All right. He's got his freeways going on. He's got another. So he's on fourth gear. So he relit his video mode. So that's all he's going for is Redline Mania then. That's his goal on this game, isn't it? He's not going for multiball. He's just shooting for Redline Mania. And let me tell you, the RPMs, I was hating them. They're okay. They're not that bad. And even the interloops are not that hard to get. So, all right.
    67:32
    Though I would go for Bryn Brubber. I mean, he gets some nice awards. He's got the video mode, but I assume if he has a chance, he's going to try it. Oh, that was too much. I don't think he needed that. I don't think so either. He kind of overdid it. It's too bad. Well, that was Bunker. Yep. All right. He's going to get that 160.
    67:54
    And he's in qualifying position seven. Oh, game position is 10, so he's doing pretty good. Yeah, just record player one.
    68:07
    We had an issue where someone started two players on a game, so it's just the rule of just plunge those balls, and if you accidentally play it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
    68:20
    It doesn't matter. That was a little rock moment. Should we stick on this for another game? Oh, with Brian Duhl. Brian Duhl? Okay. Let's see Brian Duhl again. Tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt. Oh, yes.
    68:37
    Oh. Let me update the display here. There we are. Brian Duhl from Huntington Beach. Let's see if he knows the rules for this game. He has moved up. He was in 86 last week's time. And now he's in what? 76. There you go. He has played this game before, though. You saw he was 26th on this game right now. He's got 93 million on it. Which, again, is, I would say, play other games.
    69:00
    Expand. Yes. It's like, play the field a little bit, you know? It's like, why do you have to, like, stick with one, you know? I mean, what do you just got to get married right away?
    69:11
    You know, play it a little bit. Those games, they're just waiting for you to play. Does he do that on purpose to try to get the Free RPMs Yes he is The first one maybe not Oh and that one He's not going to get it back Why New York City and work at a skate shop That had this in the back Are you checking out the chat New York City So he knows He knows the game So that's what he's saying. What the heck? 96 million? I got a bit better than that.
    69:50
    Let's see if he can. Nice live catch. So at this point, what do you think? Would you go try to collect those 10 million? I mean, is he at 10 million already? On that, uh, the loop? What do you call that thing anyways? The supercharger. The supercharger loop. That's right. Yeah. And it goes up, what, every time you hit the 1, 2, 3 targets? Is that what it is?
    70:10
    Yeah. Alright. He's got the video mode, he wants to go for me when he's trying for it That means he shot, ah, and then And he just laughs and says, yeah, that's right Yeah, that's a He said to the machine, I love you That's what he said I think so Alright, so he's in ball three here Collecting those freebies Very nice Can you get one more? No, he's like, nah, I'm not going to get another one. I'm good.
    70:47
    Alright. He's going to try to get the video mode. Maybe. This thing seems to be... Let's see.
    70:58
    Alright, let's collect those supercharger. 10 mil. Did you get the 10 mil? Nope, get the 7. Still take it.
    71:08
    Stop. Get the freeway. Nice. Ah, and then that just... Yep. Frustration coming in. I could have done more, but I didn't.
    71:27
    Yeah, that's going to be a void. That's right. I need to cross out the ones behind me. I would take it. What determines whether it's $10 million or $7 million? Well, first of all, it's the 1, 2, 3 yellow lights at the bottom. Basically, these guys and these guys. Once you light up your supercharger, every time you hit that, it goes up by a million, I believe. A million? Right?
    72:03
    Supercharger? I never pay attention to it. But I believe it's those yellow lights over there. I just get it. Oh, we got a new player. Sorry. That's all right. There we go. Tim Moyers. Mr. Getaway. He has a custom getaway that he's showcasing here at the Arcade Expo. That's right. His getaway actually has his picture inside the car on the, what do you call that thing? The back glass, right? The back glass. Yeah. Translate back glass, yeah. Yeah.
    72:34
    Let's see. So he knows the game, and he's thinking I could do. I could do better than 59 million. What the heck?
    72:43
    What is the hidden mode again when there are three cops showing up to ball to lock scene? Well, basically, if you shift, I don't know if it's up or down, three times you get into the hidden mode. And every shot is worth, what is it, $100,000 or $50,000, $150,000? That mode costs me. Yes, that mode is actually a bad mode. Because when you go into that mode, sure, you get into that mamushka type of mode, but you lose your locks.
    73:12
    Yes, you lose your locks. So, unless you're trying to catch somebody. I guess you could use it if you're trying to catch, if you're really close and you're trying to catch somebody in the playoffs. And you're like player four. But otherwise, not worth it.
    73:30
    He's got his locks lit. He's got a freeway, increases RPMs a little bit more. All right, so Libra Trick, they're draining on the punt because on the ball save, you're getting an RPM with every inner loop for free. You don't even have to worry about it. As long as you get your ball save, you're getting a... We've been talking about this. Come here. What's going on? I'm interacting with the chat, Johnny. Someone asked a question. Chat, get with the program, okay? We've been talking about this already. Come on, chat. Come on, Johnny. We've been here for a long time. Johnny, Johnny, do not berate the chat. Why not? I am. I am, chat. Hey. Do better, chat. It could have just come on right now. I can expect something better than you. Do you think people watch this all the time? I mean, like, they watch nothing but this? Look, there are 56 people, so I'm expecting those 56 to be hardcore pinball people, okay? So, yes, I am expecting that. Come on, let's raise the bar here. My apologies for missing the pinball. No, heck no. I'm not apologizing. My apologies. All right. So what are you doing? What is it? Another plug-in for Nifty LED? We're going to something else. We already did a plug for Nifty LED. Well, I only have two ads right now, okay? All right, fine. You have problems, John. I don't know. Maybe I'm getting grabbed. It's like 1030, and I'm here. I'm talking on a microphone when I could be playing pinball. I mean, think about this. You know? That's not right. That is not right.
    74:56
    So I expect thanks from you guys, okay? So come on. I want to start seeing thank yous coming in from our feed. Come on, chat. Let's see thank yous.
    75:07
    Johnny, have you ever watched any other Twitch streams? Come on. I want an honest answer right here. I've watched it whenever it shows that I'm in it. Okay?
    75:21
    Hey, come on. At least I get to learn from the narcissist, right? I think we need to That's going to have to be extracted from this This broadcast We've got Jason Wardrick He's my fellow bubble boy Me and him were always vying for the last spot in the qualifying I know that's what happened last year in Pembroke And neither of us made it So what's he doing here? He's in a taxi multiball? So he's just looking to start another multiball, right? Yep No, the ramp is lit. Why is that ramp lit? Because it's... He's got Godzilla? Oh, yeah, he's got two multi-balls. Okay, he's got Godzilla. He's got Godzilla going on too. So the multi-balls are... That's a taxi. That line of multi-balls. You can see taxi and Godzilla. And Godzilla, that's right. So he's got three more to go. Helicopter and baby and sonar. And I'm sure right now he's probably going to go for baby. That's probably the easier one. What shot's baby? The shot baby is going to be the... Left orbit? Left orbit, that one right there.
    76:25
    And at that point, I don't know if I would keep going for baby or try to hit the helicopter. Because, I mean, he was, what, three shots away from the helicopter. But, oh well, he lost it. So, I guess now it's back to square one. Why, why, uh, okay. He's trying to, he's trying to get his baby. Yeah, you want to go for baby because that's a safer shot. You know what though, if I had it on the right flipper, I would try to restart Godzilla multiple. I mean, what is it, four shots in the left. On the left flipper, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's not that bad of a shot.
    76:55
    True, I do kind of use Godzilla to bring in other things. Yeah. Because it's easier if the flippers are strong. Yeah, it's a pretty safe shot. And right now, especially that he's got the ball saved, go for helicopters, man. Yeah, go for helicopters, yeah. I agree there. I don't know if he did or not, but oh well.
    77:13
    Let's see, so is he getting close to Baby or not? Yeah, he got the Super Pops. So the next one is going to be Baby. and baby are four shots or five shots and so at this point he's close three more shots and
    77:30
    i haven't played godzilla yet i like to play it there you go two more shots let's see if we can hit another one
    77:44
    one more almost ready for it Helicopter He went for a helicopter and paid for the helicopter Yeah, that's what you do You go for a helicopter when you plunge the ball And you still have that ball save I mean, it's a nice, generous ball save on Godzilla, huh? Yeah And you can't turn it off So, use it Don't lose it Use it Come on, come on Don't hold the ball What are you doing? He wants to light his baby's door Alright So now he needs to shoot up that lane that we pointed out earlier. And you know he really wants to because he wants to try to combine it. Which has a big, fat, yellow rubber.
    78:25
    Courtesy of Mr. D'Angelo. Nope, not me. This is not my game. Oh, whose is it? Oh, Jim. So Jason is currently in sixth place in qualifying. By the way, what's going on with these yellow rubbers? It seems that every year they're just getting bigger and bigger. It's like, what is it, like a competition? Like, ooh, look at my yellow rubber. Mine is bigger. Come on, put it on the ramp so you can't do it.
    78:46
    Let's see if he's going to hit the yellow rubber. Watch. Oh, he didn't. He shot it like a pro. Night, Joe.
    78:55
    All right. So we're on the Baby Mini. Multiball. He's going to try to combine it with. Baby Mini. Come on, get the helicopter. Baby Mini. I call it Baby Mini because it's a baby multiball, multiball and it's... He only has that multiball, so it's a mini. Now, all multiballs are for balls. Well yeah but this one he There nothing mini about it What We might as well say taxi mini Godzilla mini Well Sonar mini Well, whatever. You know what I'm talking about. Jackpots are 5 million. That's a mini jackpot. Why is he going for it? Helicopter. Dude, shoot the helicopter. Oh.
    79:37
    Yeah, he was trying to. Jason. Yeah. That's it. I'm going to call him up. I'm going to ask him. We're going to have to roast him a little bit Because I mean he deserves it The heck How many tables have cameras? Every table has cameras Every table has a overhead camera and a DMD camera Or a score camera And we have just a couple player cameras Kind of situated around And a screen Every single table has a screen Whose are these screens by the way? These are the Expos Maxwell's freedom the museum the museum with them all the museum of him
    80:14
    So, oh there you go. He started in New York. Oh no helicopter most likely finally winter. I wasn't following I can't believe He got it. All right. I Didn't see him doing the helicopter. I was distracted
    80:34
    Freaking like an old married couple. Oh, yeah Or you know, I could just be cute in both those players.
    80:44
    Feels like it. Mr. Carlito and me, we've been... We've been traveling a lot. So let's see. So now he's got... What is he missing? He's missing sonar.
    81:04
    Oh, I need to drain that. That's too bad. That's really too bad. And he's thinking man could have gotten sonar. I could have gone to New York and I did it I got stuck in the Midwest so you got 137 million More scorky brothers. All right. All right. Are we moving here? Let's move game position was seven so that means I mean he probably didn't improve seven Wow Let's go with 219 219 million. It's not really too high for Godzilla. No, I wouldn't well it but it's a 6-6 right now I want to play Godzilla then What the heck am I doing here What do you mean I'm not allowed to play Jack can Johnny play anything Is Johnny allowed to play pinball right now You know I am 3-3-3 Let's check out some Demolition Man With Mr. Kevin Burrell I thought it was Burrell Burl?
    82:04
    Burl, like squirrel. Burrel? No, burl, like squirrel. Who makes up how you're supposed to pronounce that? I mean, it could be B-rel, you know? The guy that was just saying, not modica, not modica. Modica, yeah, so this one should be B-rel. Since mine is modica, this is B-rel. Two R's and two L's, you're supposed to emphasize B-rel. We'll get back over to Lord of the Rings. We'll get to Lord of the Rings, I'm sorry. It's the same one we had at Xtreme though So Just not set up quite as evil If you remember that Yeah that's right Because now you can actually do the modes The modes are lit You can get the multiballs That's all I was able to score I basically grinded out the multiballs Enough of that We're in Demoman Let's talk about Demoman Try and read the chat Interact with the chat All right. The chat is there. We have people watching.
    83:03
    Can Johnny a headset mic to bring with him as he plays? Nah, this is family friendly, so you definitely don't want to have audio when you see one of these players play, because, I mean, we really get graphic.
    83:16
    Even Carl gets graphic. I'm actually surprised. I mean, he has some very, like, vocal curses, you know. Usually you don't, you know, you look at Carl. I mean, he looked like a very goody-goody guy. Here we go. I mean, look at that, you know?
    83:33
    But, you know, man, he can crush. So Kevin, this is his home in Fall City. What is that? Age 22? He's that young?
    83:47
    He's not that young. Yeah, he is. He's 22 years old. Does he make you feel old, Johnny? He does make me feel young. I'm like twice his age almost. What the hell? That's not right. No, he's lying about it. There's no way.
    84:01
    That's incredible. He's got good skills, too. I mean, look at that. He just did a quick piece. Yes? He's got one more.
    84:18
    Get the computer. So currently he's in Ninth place So he's looking pretty good By the way I noticed That these ramps are pretty nice On this demo man It's playing pretty nicely Have you played it yet or no?
    84:43
    Nope I have not It's pretty good Where are the Neverdame techs? One sitting right here Hello And then Jimbo Cedar is Should be walking around here I don't see him in the immediate view.
    84:59
    What is here? All right. What's going on? Oh, that's it? He's done? That's it. He's done? He did not score better than his previous game. He got $677 million, so it's not bad, but eh. All right. We're moving to Alyssa. There you go. That's his mom. Yes. Whose mom? Zach. Zach. Zachary. Zach. Zachary. The 13-year-old mom. So, let's see. And by the way, you notice from the picture that she's pretty short because she couldn't reach to the camera. Did you take this photo? I did. And I told her she had to stand on her tiptoes. Then why did you not tilt the camera down? Because, I mean, this is more realistic because it gives you a feel of people if they're short or tall. So, she's short.
    85:48
    You know, we're trying to make it real. Come on, people. We don't have to fake it. We're not airbrushing Anybody I mean this is real people real Pima players. This is how you see them. This is us
    86:01
    Appreciate the realness Right No No, Joe, yeah, they're going back to torpedo alley with all the Ugas I keep hearing I like that
    86:19
    Okay, maybe we could go after this one who's playing right now all listen I know, we were talking about reeling here. All right, what's going on? It's having some rough drains.
    86:32
    Not much sun yet. She tried to hit that clock, get it in the computer. No. Oh, she got it up there, though. In the computer. Come on.
    86:42
    She's the first in my tribe that doesn't look guilty. Oh. And every time you miss that. Wow, miss that scoop. It didn't hit the scoop at the top. It did not. She's got the multibot ready, and it's gone. Was that ball? I agree with you, Fed. The screen is too dark. The cameras provided by the museum here are not the best low-light cameras, and it's pretty low-light all around here.
    87:14
    Made it. Glad you made it. All right. We got some people from L.A. representing over here. traveling all the way from the west alright where are we going on oh Kyle we got Kyle Takagawa there we go from Torrance he's one of the newly added member in our orange family Yeah I think there are some LEDs This is Jen's demo man Now Why didn't you erase the camera for Kyle Again we're keeping it real Kyle's not that short Well He's kind of short a little bit Come on He's not super short but I don't know But anyways, it wasn't me taking the picture, so maybe somebody else wanted to make it. I don't believe you.
    88:24
    It wasn't me. All right, so we're probably going to shut this down in about 20 minutes. Jim's going to leave, so I'm going to be the solar remaining tech.
    88:35
    We're going to shut it down so that means we can play. I can play some pinball. At 11, yeah. Ah, finally. My fingers are itching.
    88:42
    Aren't you going to help me run the thing? No, I'm going to play. Oh, no. Remember, I don't know how to fix this stuff. And by the way, you didn't even give me a switch for my broken switch on Lord of the Rings, so why should I help you? You told me to go to Pinball Life and go buy it myself. Yes, and Pinball Life is actually one of our sponsors here. I just don't have any logos for them, so thank you for bringing up Pinball Life.com. There you go. Blog for Pinball Life.com. Thank you. Even though, you know what, I don't agree. I don't agree that they charge $10 on shipping. What's up with that? Did you even go to the site and try to order something? No, but you told me they charge $10 on shipping. If you quit, you would know it wouldn't cost you $10 for shipping. Is that $10 in shipping? How much is it?
    89:22
    Everybody tells me it's $10 in shipping. Just go there, pick first class package when you don't have much. But I was thinking, you need more than just the... Why are we talking about you? Ah, right, fine.
    89:31
    We should be talking about Kyle playing his game. Let's talk about Kyle. He just started a multi-ball. He started the Fortress multi-ball. And he's not using the secret jack quite yet, which means he probably wants to save it for the harder shot. There you go. Like, right now I would use it because that computer shot, it's usually kind of hard to get to. Unless you can hit it. No. Oh, he got it. Cool. So, in this case, keep it. I would try to get this jackpot. Oh, he almost backhanded. Right, hit two more jackpots. Oh, use it now. Use it now. Use the secret. He doesn't know about the secret. He doesn't know it.
    90:05
    He doesn't know it. Oh, boy. All right. I guess you could post-pass it pretty easy nice shot to the top yeah that's right waddle it Johnny would have done that if Todd had shown up waddle it? waddle junior junior says if T-Max pitcher would be just his stomach yes yeah would have been a funny one too alright let's get out of demo man alright no more demo What are we going? Any requests? Chat room. Last chance. Come on, chat. Give us your best shot. What do you want to see? You won't get to see this before the delay is up.
    90:49
    We haven't shown... We haven't shown Grand Lizard. Walking Dead. What about Walking Dead? Walking Dead is so dark. That's the only reason. Oh, it's really dark. Lord of the Rings. We got Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings looks nice. Want to watch Lord of the Rings? It's my favorite game. Grand Lizard. Oh, come on. Now, Grand Lizard is kind of dark too, though.
    91:06
    Grand Lizard, unfortunately, is out of focus. It's severely out of focus. Oh, it's out of focus. So that's not an option right now.
    91:13
    Torpedo, Grand Lizard, TX Hector. There's no TX Hector. He's trying to be funny. We got to go to Eddie Khan. We got a comedian in the chat room. TX Hector. Here we have Eddie Khan. Eddie Khan, look at that picture. Now, isn't that a cool picture, huh? Come on.
    91:29
    Where is Eddie? Eddie Khan, he's from San Diego. Oh, where is he? There we go. We got some people that want to see LOTR. Huh? Favorite game. Excuse the little bump here. I got to switch player cameras. All right. So his best score is, ooh, 6.9 million. There's Eddie. There's Eddie Conn. He's got to do a little better than 6.9 million. Well, this is a setup. The software is on factory. Everything's normal except we've got giant yellow rubber. Yep. And no post on the inlay. Yep. And lightning flippers. Yes. And some white rubber. Very bouncy rubbers, man. Talking about rubber. These are the pinball-like, perfect play silicone rubbers, Johnny. These are the silicone rubbers. Okay.
    92:13
    So this is what they use for condoms as well? These rubbers? Johnny. That's why they're so bouncy and stuff like that?
    92:21
    Is that a bad word? Condoms is not a bad word. In fact, we encourage the use of condoms, okay? So this is a more, the more you know moment. So, yes.
    92:34
    I'm like a straight team, like, by words and stuff. Don't you guys agree? Can you backhand the right ramp? Yes, you can. Can you backhand the left ramp?
    92:44
    I don't know. I haven't tried that. Yes. You can? Really? Although by this time, maybe not. Okay. So let's see what Eddie's doing over here.
    92:59
    Eddie, I don't know Eddie either. On the newer side or what? I haven't seen him play in one of our leagues. And he's been... Forget about it. He's been around in a shelter.
    93:13
    Exactly, Al Anonymous. Exactly, Graven. Thank you. Both of you. You know, throne doctors don't use condoms. How do you know? Come on.
    93:23
    So, con rubbers. I'm going to kick you out, Johnny. I'm just repeating what the chat is saying. What are you talking about?
    93:30
    This guy. Oh, it's Veg. Of course he's saying it. and this is family look look what are we here look hey we're on the Papa twitch channel that's not abused but look look at what dr. Barry Johnson st. Virgin teach your kids it's not a dirty word thank you pretty word you know knowledge it's good all right so he's got it looks like Aragon.
    94:01
    And Gimli left for him. So he's actually got a nice setup for ball one. He's looking he's supposed to beat a score right now. He tried to backhand. Nice little tap save over there. Amazing how many slings he's surviving. There you go. He backhanded the right ramp. Got one of his locks.
    94:25
    And he only needs Gimli for a fellowship, I believe. Yep. The infinite scoop And even that scoop is not that easy Because of that fat giant rubber there What fat giant rubber? It's a fat yellow giant rubber You guys can't really see but it's there It's big and it's tiny And he knows what he's doing He's just going for it Going for fellowship Now at this point You want to get greedy I don't know what he's doing I wonder if he's trying to get greedy and try to start a mode. But he doesn't have the ringlet yet. He doesn't. And he's on... I can't tell with the bloom how many... Oh, man. Oh. Okay. Is he going to try to get the lock? Yes. Missed it. Survived. Trying to do it again. He got it. It's very satisfying when you can hit that right ramp, man, especially with those... Brother left. Man. Yeah.
    95:19
    And look at now. Now he's got two multiballs that are ready to go. So this is cool. See, he really shifts our fellowship because isn't the bonus higher if you get the fellowship? On ball one, absolutely. And the C is on ball one. Yep. But maybe he's trying to get greedy and trying to start a mode. I mean, no, there you go. He was trying to go for it. He got it. All right. Okay, so we're in fellowship right now. So we have the cave trail sequence on. Yep. Director's cut. The only way to play the game. Yeah, which is kind of nice because... Thank you, Keith.
    95:47
    It's nice because basically it's just an unlimited multiball for a short time and you just have fun, you know, and just fling. Yeah, but you gotta make sure you make those shots Because you want that two and a half million For finishing the cave troll Yeah, but I mean, it's cool to have that ball save That you can just fling away, you know I like to fling Yeah, but unfortunately also It's a good time to accidentally use your Palantir And lose your add ball You know, you gotta shoot it up at the tower You know what? I don't know if you can lose your add ball When the ball save is playing No, no, no, no You don't lose the add ball But you lose your Palantir You have to relight the Palantir Correct, that's true Still, I don't know I just like to fling when that happens It's the fling in me. The fling in me. All right. So this is the most controlled multi-ball in the game, I feel. That's right.
    96:35
    All right. So he's got his add-a-ball available. He really needs to shoot it. Oh, there you go. He got it in. Nice. He nudged it. That's warrior style. Add-a-ball. He missed it. Oh, and look at the frustration. Still, pretty good ball And look at that bonus, 3.5 million So he's at 13, so he already doubled his score Right, so playing that multiple I'll give him an extra 2.5 million in the bonus He would have gotten 1 million without starting multiple Exactly, so it is worth it And especially the way this game is playing I don't think there are a lot of high scores I think it's up in the 30s 30s, 40s, 60s You've got the high right now, I know Yeah, I've got the high I think I got like 92 or 93 mil.
    97:22
    Branded it out with the multiballs. And like I said, it's easy to get the return of the king multiball because that ball just keeps going in that scoop. And look at that. He just started his second multiball, his two towers. He didn't combine it with a mode. I would have tried to combine it. Ooh, and the ball just skipped over his flipper.
    97:42
    So at this point, what would you do? Would you save your Palantir for when you have two balls left, or would you? I would just because I'd rather play a longer multi-ball. Although the jackpots are worth a lot more. They are. I mean, you're going to trip that jackpot. But you lose it a lot quicker, too. You can.
    98:01
    And again, this is another multi-ball that I like to fling away and just pop out. You flail, huh? Flail. Flail away. Flail. I like to flail. I focus on the left orbit and the ring shot. Definitely the left orbit and the ring shot because it's safer. You keep the ball away. Well, because it's also switch hits advance you towards the super jackpot as well. I didn't say I wasn't control flail. I'm a control flail, but I mean, I'm still flail.
    98:27
    Not flail. Flailer? Is it flailer or flailer? I think it's flailer, right? Flail? Flailer? Maybe? I don't have the energy anymore. No, no comment. I think Carl needs a Red Bull or something.
    98:51
    I'm thinking Jim said he's leaving at 11 now, and I'm going to be here by myself for the last hour of the qualifying. I know, and that's what we're going to start getting into, technical difficulties. Yeah. And this place is just getting more and more packed. I mean, look at this. Man.
    99:09
    All right, we're at the end. So he's starting that. He should be getting the return of the king then if he can make that leftover shot. Oh, yeah. Definitely. I mean, I'm thinking he's probably like two shots away from Return of the King. So let's see if he can nail it. Now, it's much easier to hit that left orbit than to try to hit it on the... Oh, and he's going for that. Wow.
    99:28
    Surprised because it's actually more points if you hit it on the left orbit. Well, that was a ring of man. He only needs one more man ring to light Gollum. He knows about that? And look at that. He's got that extra ball. I don't think so. That extra ball is... Yes, he does know that. Look at where that ball went. Wow, that was weird. So he's got Gollum lit now. Golem lit and the extra ball, so that's worth 5 million plus the extra ball. Let's see if he wants it. Now, do you save Golem as a multi-ball resurrection? Oh, no. Why? So, no. I'm asking a serious question. Do you save Golem for a multi-ball resurrection?
    100:04
    Yes. I like to. Because it's kind of like, okay, first you have the out-of-ball with the Palantir, and then if you finish up the move. But, I don't know. It depends, I guess, on the score. So in other words, it's only when it happens accidentally for you, huh? Kind of. Because, I mean, earlier I had the golem, but I didn't have anything. I guess if you're close to a multiball, yes, I would try to see golem. Start a multiball. Oh, man, what's he doing? He's trying to start golem. I would just be going for return of the king. Hell no. He's got an extra ball that's worth five million, golem, and then he can start return of the king. Well, no, it's worth two and a half. But you're saying it's going to be doubled immediately?
    100:38
    Did he start a mode? He started a mode, yeah. Attack of Sheep is perfect. Man, if he could get Golem.
    100:46
    Oh, come on. Don't lose it. There we go. Nice. So you put it up. So you're right. This might start. Oh, it didn't go up. It didn't go up. Yeah, I'm saying every time it comes down that ramp, he needs to shoot that left orbit to get on the path of the dead. Oh, look at that. Return of the King is lit. This scoop is worth a lot of points. Forget the scoop. Shoot the orbit. Orbit. Safer shot. Oh. why shoot the scoop? It's so dangerous. Shoot the orbit. Yeah, but the golem, the combination with the multi-ball. Use golem to save your multi-ball. Shoot the orbit. Ah, fine, I guess so. I guess it makes more sense. I don't know. But it's so inviting, those three lights just flashing at me. I mean, I feel like a moth just attracted to it. So yeah, Carlito, he's just the iron heart. That's what I'm going to call him, Carlito. The iron heart. Because you just have, you know, just iron. I know what to do. I've never been called Ironheart before. I'm undeterred by those blights. Submarine is all I know. Yes.
    101:52
    Still, that's a good score for Eddie. All right. We got one more five more minutes about. We're going to move over to Walking Dead to close the night out. Which, Fedge, if you're saying those other games are dark, this one's really dark. Oh, yeah. Alright we'll probably finish up Todd's game here And then we have Mr. Dave Stewart Coming up next and we'll watch his game And then close it out with that I believe And this is now out of focus as well These cameras Eddie Get over here
    102:33
    Get over here in the middle Over here in the middle So we were watching you playing Lord of the Rings, and how did you feel about missing that golem scoop right at the last ball? A little louder. I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you. How did you feel about missing that scoop right at the last ball? Everything was there. Extra ball. You had the multi-ball. Everything was there. I felt like eating my face. Yeah? Sucks, yeah. How do you eat your face? I don't know how you eat your face. Oh, man. I was having a decent game actually, yeah, and then yeah, you're all set up couldn't land that column God damn it, but it was still it was still like an improvement from your other sports I mean, that was pretty good. Most definitely. Yeah, I'm happy with it for tonight. We'll come back tomorrow and rock it Cool All right
    103:22
    All right, so where were we We're watching a Todd from Seattle Todd from Seattle. Man, a lot of out-of-towners, huh? A lot. So what's going on? Oh, Fedge? LA Rams to LA? Absolutely. We're watching the Blurry Dead.
    103:41
    Apparently. The Blurry Dead? Oh, yeah. Very fast, by the way. This is. And no in-lane rubber. Oh, gosh. It's nasty. Yeah. Yeah, I can't say anything either, Graven. This thing, well, it comes in out of focus despite the camera being set to manual focus. That's a manual focus and went out of focus? Yes. Somebody touched it.
    104:11
    No? I mean, if it's bad, then, you know. And it's so dark. And there we go. I think it did get back in focus for a little bit. Yeah, yeah. It's coming in now. Weird. All right, that's going to have to be worked on for tomorrow. All right. Sorry about this, guys. All right, let's move to something else. No walking dead. What do we want to watch?
    104:29
    Grand Lodgers is the same way. What haven't we watched? We've watched all the DMDs, right? Godzilla. We watched Hoops.
    104:36
