The following video is not sponsored, but I do want to give a special thanks to Flip N Out Pinball for this machine. If you're interested in getting yourself a pinball machine, especially this one, then give Zach a call at 812-457-9711. All right, guys. Probably wondering why I have all of this instead of just unboxing this right here. And that is because I'm going to be doing something that I haven't seen anybody do yet when it comes to unboxing this particular game. But I'm going to be doing this a little bit different than those of you that may have seen people eat pizza while unboxing this. And I'm going to be doing what they did in the actual cartoon, which this game is based upon. And I'm going to be making pizza slices like they did. So we're talking peanut butter and tuna. We got yogurt. We got guacamole. We got oatmeal. We got jelly beans, marshmallows, and licorice. And honestly, I'm more scared of the licorice than anything else. I do not like licorice. I have a feeling that this is not going to go well because of mainly the licorice. Now, we're going to have basically six different types of slices, and that is going to be determined by the roll of a single die. And whatever side it lands on every three minutes is going to be a different slice of pizza, unless I just get really shitty luck and get licorice every single time, which I'm hoping that doesn't happen. but it really is going to be a roll of the die to see what slice I'm going to be ingesting. So we're going to get all the ingredients prepped up and then we're going to start unboxing this bad boy. Let's get started. all right ingredients are prepped essentially to easily make on a quick in a hurry got the lovely wife right here so this is what's going to be if i roll a one marshmallows and pepperoni if i roll a two jelly beans and sausage if i roll a three guacamole and marshmallow and i'm to tell you right now this marshmallow this guacamole is disgusting that little brought there that's me putting my finger in it just to taste it and it's nasty so I'm hoping that I don't get that either I usually love guacamole they're all for tuna peanut butter and yogurt if I roll a five pepperoni and pickles now if I roll six it was gonna be granola but evidently that wasn't on the shopping list so we're gonna go with oatmeal and licorice oh here's all the ingredients right here there's the oatmeal all prepped up no ingredients added to it just water heat it up stir it up that's what we get what are you most afraid of oh the licorice but i'm also afraid of this guacamole now because that tasted horrible so if i get anything like that i i'm not going to be happy about it all right here we go all right every three minutes starts now Space in the right direction All right, good There's the leg Yeah. You're the man that raised the police. Better. All right Let start getting these legs By the way. I would have gone with the drill, but I know people are saying I be cheating. So we're doing this all manual mode. Those eight-plate bolts are a little bit tighter than the old ones. Why is this one so tight? Alright. I have to come around and set my tools down somewhere and then forget where I put them. I'm bad about that. three minutes all right roll it down here we go three guacamole Is he going to eat them all at the end? No, I've got to eat one. Oh, it's ready. Oh, they're ready? Oh, then I've got to eat another one. Oh, no. oh god that guacamole is awful oh being hungry does not help power through I mean look at that for the thumbnail right there oh god oh I wonder if Murphy wants the crust she looks worried I'm worried that's not really what it's like to eat bad food am I eating you in time? sorry sorry I'm going to go over here, because that's the flat body from the stern time again. Why are these back moves in so tight stern? Thank you Mark he over here just lying Look at that. I'm going to get this next piece. Is it going in? Oh my god this whole time I'm fucking... This is not cool. That was my knuckle. That was my knuckle. Oh yeah, you know what motion I'm using, guys. Here we go. Ouch. All right, roll the dice, Tom. You on it? Two. Jelly beans and sausage. That sounds a little better. All right, time to cut this. Everyone look out, this thing can sometimes shoot up. It didn't sweep. Could've got uppercutted. I could have got uppercutted. Bon Appetit! I'm breaking a sweat here. Are those the every flavor beans? This is much more tolerable. Get one of those skunk fart beans or a vomit bean on there. Now to transport it and turn it on. Was there a licorice bead in there? I think there was. Alright. Oh boy, this thing plugged in and powered on, dude! When is it officially complete? Whenever I'm able to start a game. Mm Are you on Are you on? Was it already on? Oh. It's already on? I thought I flipped the switch but evidently I did not. I'm not sure what I flipped but it wasn't the switch. Damn you. Got to make sure I wipe off my balls. That's what I was forgetting, the microfiber cloth. Time. Ah! So close. Still got my balls in my... Roll the die, here we go. Three. Walk the marshmallow. God! No! No! Come on! It could have been worse. I picked up the weighted die. It could have been yolk plate and tuna fish. Alright. Bon appetit. Oh my god. You put the guac on there way too much. You hear that? I'm going to have to go get my food. I'm going to have to go get my food. I'm going to have to go get my food. I'm going to have to go get my food. You hear that evil laugh? Why couldn't I get yogurt or something? Ice isn't that the bomb? Oh! I still think you should have done Da Bomb and black licorice. Oh god, no. Disgust the whole bottle? This would be so good if the guacamole was good, but it's not. Didn't you buy the guac? Yeah, but I can't taste it when I'm at the store. I should have stopped by Chipotle. Man, I would have been looking forward to them. Yeah, they do have some good guac. Murphy, you okay? He wants some food. What is on my glass right here? I just realized I'm not recording any of these. I don't know. You've actually been fucking in the... What? Do you want to get some close-ups yourself? Since I know you think I have shaky hands. No, this guy is still gone. He hasn't started a game yet. Oh, you're right. He's got to put in a free play. Free play is on. No, not service mania. I didn't mean to hit the bed. Stop. Go away. There we go. I was wondering what it was. I was trying to play with the stuff. Why did I just close that door? I don't know. That is horrible Choose your time Time Woo Leonardo Now you gotta get the high score or Donald Trump.
