🎵 I'll trickle low, yeah, with nobody else. Yeah, you know when I trickle low, I prefer to be by myself. Now every morning just before breakfast I don't want no coffee or tea Just me and my good buddy Wiser That's all I ever need Cause I drink alone Yeah, with nobody else Yeah, you know when I drink alone I prefer to be by myself Hey guys, Drew here with the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. I just wanted to say thank you, Ian, for all the wonderful episodes, all the great editing, everything that you've done to help this podcast become something really amazing and fun to do each and every week. We are going to miss you a lot. I'm going to miss you especially. It definitely will not be the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast without you. I don't know where it's going to go. I've said that before, but I want to keep going with something. But once again, Ian, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you've done. What I've done here is I've edited together a bunch of clips from the beginning of our show, the intros to our show. I thought it was kind of a fun thing. I'm going to do a few of these clip shows just kind of to get some content out there for everybody to keep us on the airwaves. I thought there's some funny stuff, some good stuff. I do have some new original content in store, but while I'm kind of working out the kinks and learning some of the editing and all that kind of good stuff, I just wanted to get a few good things out there. And over the next few weeks, I hope to get more and more of this content out for you guys. So I really, really, really hope you enjoy it. And Ian, take care of yourself. Enjoy a few drinks. Spend some time with your family. Play a little pinball. And we will talk to you soon. Hey, everyone. This is Tim Lee and Rachel Lilge. We're from Tribe Multiball with Rachel and Tim. And today we're here to celebrate Ian. How about it, Rachel? Heck yeah. Ian of the Poor Man's Pinball Podcast. Absolutely. Ian, I just wanted to take a minute here to say I am very appreciative for all the episodes you've put together over the last two years. It's been a great show. I consider you a friend. It was great to get to know you. I loved everything you've done. You've made me laugh a lot. You made me shake my head a lot. And my wife really enjoyed seeing you in a kilt, which kind of bothers me. But man, I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Glad you brought me on board. And I owe you a lot, buddy. Next time I see you or the first time I see you, beers on me. That's so nice. Ian, thank you for making me laugh, for bringing me joy and all of our listeners. So many of us listen to podcasts while we're in the vehicle, at work, on the treadmill, out in the garden, doing other things in life. and it's great to all of a sudden have this big ha as something that you have said. I've also really enjoyed the Twitch format as well. I'm not going to argue with Mrs. Lee singing a kilt. It's kind of fun.
