  SPEAKER_08: You know, Josh, that Jamie then starts overthinking it, and he's like, Well, if I have this person, I have to have that.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_08: So it ends up being like a wedding invitation, so he has to invite everybody, and then you know.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_18: I saw that rabbit hole at Expo because you and I were talking, Ralph, and like Jamie, Jamie's like, I'm gonna go outside for a second, I'll be right back.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_18: And when he came back, and it was like 30 minutes later, he's like, I'm so sorry.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_18: I ran some fans, they wanted to talk and chit-chat, and like he's giving us this whole explanation of apology, and I'm like, it's not a big deal, dude.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_10: Like, I don't know, it's just just my anxiety.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_10: It's a consistent anxiety of everything.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_10: It is just constant.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_10: It's okay.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_10: I had the best time at Expo though.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_18: Oh, yeah, it was awesome.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_18: I every year, it's just like going back and kind of seeing family, right?
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_18: Like you go, you sit down, you you chit-chat, you play some pinball.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_18: Um, I know that like there's a little bit of anxiety for uh at least for me to make some content because I'm like, I'm there, there's a great opportunity to play these games and get some footage, but overall, it's always fun and to uh go talk to all the manufacturers.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_08: So yeah, no, for sure.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_08: I I did I could have done without the the getting sick part, but I could have done.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_18: Did you get the flu?
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_18: I didn't.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_18: You didn't?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_18: You weren't fine, you didn't get anything, you were good.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_18: No, no, and I was I can't remember if I told you guys this, but um um a good friend of the show, Penny Epstein, she gave me a big old hug, uh, and then like she coughed.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_18: She's like, Oh, sorry, I've had a little something, and it's like when you can see into your future of like, oh, I'm gonna catch something aren't I?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_18: It wasn't a big deal, I didn't catch anything, so I was happy.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_10: I got really sick, and then I brought it home and infected my entire house.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_10: And then if the baby got sick, it was just a disaster.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_10: It sounds like it.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_10: That doesn't sound enjoyable.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it was that was that part wasn't fun, but overall it was a good time this year.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_10: It was, it was good.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_10: All right, I had to send some links to people.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I think um this year almost there was there was like so much good stuff.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_08: That was the thing.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_08: It was almost like everything was good and everything everybody wanted to play.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_08: So it kind of kept it, it had a different feel because you know there's usually like uh, you know, I don't need to go over there.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_08: I don't feel like there was an area where anyone was like, oh, I'm gonna skip that today.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_08: You know, it was it was everyone wanted to do everything, so it was uh it was cool because and then the homebrew section was just like insanely cool this year.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_18: So do you feel like it was do you feel like it was more full this year than it has in previous years?
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_18: The homebrew?
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_18: Just everything.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_18: I mean, expo in general.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_18: No, homebrew was packed this year.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_10: It was only my fourth, so I can't really I feel like it was.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_08: I feel like because Thursdays usually kind of chill, and I usually try to film things on Thursday, and I was like, what the heck?
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_08: It almost it almost felt like a Saturday um you know, traffic pattern on a Thursday, and I was like, what the hell is going on?
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_08: It actually was kind of nuts on Thursday.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_08: So I I kind of I kind of feel like maybe they had more people than they did the year before, but that was that's how it felt to me at least.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_18: Yeah, like it was crazy.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_18: I remember going in 2021, right after COVID, and like everyone's like, Do we go?
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_18: You know, it was like kind of the first official event after everything had shut down, and they only had half of that, I don't even think it was a half of that exhibit hall open.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_18: And it was and where the tournament was, that's where the the seminars were at, and even the tournament itself was in part of that.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_08: It was in the room, yeah.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_18: I remember that, yeah.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_18: And it's weird to see how much it's grown and and filled out and how many people are showing up now versus what it was even just five years ago.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_10: So all right, that was great.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_10: That's a question we're gonna ask every guest, Josh.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_10: All right, let's do it.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_10: What is your favorite pinball moment of 2026 so far, and why is it Rob Burke in a bathtub on the round table?
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_18: Because that was totally unscripted, and like there's it doesn't happen.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_18: I don't even know if Rob does Rob even know that you he was in the bathtub when well he had no he was in the bathtub, but he'd even know that you guys are recording.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_08: We're not we don't know.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_08: We really don't know.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_18: We really don't know.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_10: That's a great answer.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_10: We have no idea.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_10: We've never brought it up to him when we saw him.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_08: That's funny.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's all I that that that always leaves me speechless.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_08: I I don't know how to comment further on.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_10: The really funny part is if you go back and watch it, Josh, you can watch Ralph and I going like this, okay?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_10: We're like this.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_10: I was so unhappy.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_10: We're on our phones and we're texting each other, and so we had this great idea for a reel.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_10: Okay, where Rob is there and it's zoop Ralph's texting me.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_10: When are you shutting this off?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_10: Me going, you're not helping.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_10: Him coming back, this is a disaster.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_10: You gotta get him out of there.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_10: Me coming back, you're still not helping me.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_08: But the flip side of that was that like Kale was eating it up.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_08: For for me, I felt like I might be in the room with him.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_08: Like it was that awkward to me that I'm on this thing.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_08: And then, of course, I'm going it going through my head is is like, well, if he doesn't know, but then I'm like, well, he wouldn't stay with three people.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_08: Like, you wouldn't do that in general, so he must know.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_08: But then I never we never really like confirmed that he knew.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_10: So we just no idea it's one of those family reunion things you don't talk about, you just go, well, that happened.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_18: I wonder if anyone brought that up to him at Expo 2.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_18: Like, I loved you from the bathtub scene on JBS.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, I bet someone had to have someone had to have.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_10: Absolutely.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_08: I liked it.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_18: He's a showman, he did it all for the show.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_10: Give me your 2026 moment if you if you don't mind.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_18: I really liked when uh spooky was spoofing off everyone else and doing the the video that Flippin' Out had done for their announcement of whatever of multimorphic or whatever, and then you got like spooky Luke in the above-ground pool and bug and them all doing their video.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_18: That was I don't know, that was a pretty good moment of 2026, in my opinion.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_08: You know that, Jamie, right?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_08: Where they're singing the Bon Jovi song.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_18: Yeah, it was brilliant.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it was brilliant.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_18: Had they even announced Bon Jovi at that point, or was it just being teased?
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_18: I can't remember.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_08: And I think that's a good one.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_10: For a little while, we thought that it was it was baloney and cheese.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_18: The the absolute troll of it was fantastic.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_18: Uh just yeah.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_10: That was pretty good.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_10: Don was good in it too, with his the the sack of dead body.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that was pretty good.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_08: Franchi was good in it.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that was good.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_08: That that was probably what that was definitely in the highlights list for sure.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I forgot about that.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_10: And that the the that it was just very weird.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_10: Greg Bone in the shower.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_10: That whole thing made no sense to me.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I was I I didn't get that though.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_08: Like at first, I was like, okay, why is it?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_08: I didn't get it at all.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_08: Like it was lost on me.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_08: Just I was fine with all of it except for Greg in the shower, because I was like, why is Greg in the shower?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_18: I mean it for really good, but don't you guys shower with your phone in your hand at all times?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_18: So that we know always always don't you do business in the bathtub in the shower like Rob and Greg?
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_18: Come on now.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_10: No, all the time.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_10: It was a weird day.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_10: It that happened the same day.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_08: Rob It was within a day of weirdness, just it was lots of content coming from bathrooms that that week in general.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_18: That would have been it was it was the day before my birthday, so July 24th.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_18: That's that's the only reason I could tell you that I remember it.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_10: So Okay.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_10: I'll take your word for it.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_10: But July 24th.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_10: That was nutty, man.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_10: That was crazy.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_10: Ralph, why we've got you, we're waiting on our next guest.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_10: What was your what's your moment?
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, of last year.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_03: Of of this year, yeah.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: Of this year.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_03: Huh.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't know you were asking.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_08: You know, Sonic, you Yeah, I know.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_08: It's been a busy year so far.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_08: Um Yeah, I'd probably say, I mean, I'm not it's not like a funny moment, but I would probably say going out to do the the Sonic thing for JJP.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_08: Like that was fun.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_08: That was that was a good time.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_08: And that was it, and actually now it's even more kind of cool because Steve Ritchie did retire and I got to spend like a lot of time with him doing that.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_08: And it was interesting because he was kind of talking about he wasn't talking about that.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_08: I actually asked him off camera, hey, are you planning on, you know, do you think you're gonna retire?
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_08: I just because I mean the guy's not young, you know, he's 76, right?
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_08: So I was like, Hey, you plan on retirement?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_08: And he goes, Well, you know, I really enjoy doing this.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_08: And he goes, If you know, maybe if uh in the future, if uh maybe Jersey Jack would let me do this job remote.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_08: But then then he like pivoted the conversation to, but I just got this awesome side by side, and he brought that up in the thing.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_08: He goes, I just want to rip through the the desert on this thing because he's got like this place up in like Nevada or something, and I'll and I he seemed to like light up when I was asking him questions about his side-by-side, so he's definitely excited about that.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_08: So it kind of was like sending conflicting messages.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_08: On one hand, he's like, Well, if I could do this remote, maybe I'd do it.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_08: And then on the other hand, I think he's like, I'm 76, I should just be done.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, he's could he's contributed so much.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_08: He doesn't what else?
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_08: You know, I I think he's good, he deserves it.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_08: He deserves to rest and relax at this stage of his life.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_18: Yeah, oh I totally agree, especially with everything, the influence he has been on pinball, too.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_18: Yeah, you know, just if it wasn't for high speed, do you think Pat Lawler would have ever gotten into this?
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_18: Do you think George Gomez would have ever gotten into pinball?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_18: I mean, Keith Elwin also cites Steve Ritchie as inspiration as well for playing those games.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_18: Like it's one of those things like if the Beatles never existed, would rock and roll music be what it is today?
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_18: I I kind of give that credit to Steve Ritchie for the modernization of pinball.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_18: Because obviously we had pinball before that in the 30s, and it's there was an evolution up to the 70s, but it felt like Steve Ritchie, if you go back and look at all the innovations he had from 70s to the 2000s, it's just insane to see how much of that became staples in pinball.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, not to mention uh he just Yeah, I mean he just he just innovative, yeah.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_08: Like you said, like he's just innovative in every way.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_08: So it's just he's always thinking of some ways to push the limits.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_08: And the only thing I kind of wish that would have happened, I really wish he would have made it would have been cool to get like another getaway game before he retired.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_08: Like, I don't know.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_08: I just yeah a modern one would be so cool.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_08: I know, but it's okay.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_18: Between that or a top gun, because that was rumored for how many years?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_18: I think he originally had that back in the 80s, but that's what F-14 Tomcat ended up becoming.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_08: But and he's such a speed guy, so like the the theme totally suits him.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but danger zone, yeah, all of a sudden it just starts rocking.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_10: Oh it's never gonna happen.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_10: That's the saddest part.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you can't get Tom Cruise.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_10: If you can't get Tom Cruise, what's the point?
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_18: Does Tom Cruise have a brother like Tom Hanks?
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_18: Because you know, Tom Hanks did all the brother did all the voice work for you know, Toy Story 4.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_18: I don't know.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_18: So I think he'll just get Tom Cruise's brother to do all of it.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know if he does.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_08: There's tiny Tom Cruise from Family Guy, but I don't think he's he's fake.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_08: He's not real.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_10: You've said it all.

• 23:30
  SPEAKER_08: We're having this conversation, and and and and and we're like, we're gonna be each other's accountability partner, it's gonna be great.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_08: And then uh then I'm like, hey, how's it going, Jamie?

  SPEAKER_08: He's like, uh, I think I'm up like three, three to five pounds.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_08: I was like, yeah, uh I am too.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_08: So it just didn't work.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_08: Like we screwed it up.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_08: We didn't, we weren't, we didn't hold each other accountable.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_08: How what happened?
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_10: Um, I don't know, life got in the way.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_10: But if I get cast on Big Brother, I think that's uh that's pretty much uh gonna make it happen.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: You would you would think, but I don't know a single one of us that has been like, if we get cast, we're gonna get in shape, and then anything happens.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: You just gotta find the confidence.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta just go as you are.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_08: We'll get you, Gene.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I know it's all gonna be good.

  SPEAKER_10: Come on, big.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_08: Well, they actually are casting that, or you're just saying that you are.

  SPEAKER_10: I'm just saying it, Ralph.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_08: I'm it I'm saying.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_08: I wasn't sure if they put like a bulletin out for we need a dad bod, grampy, whatever you just said.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_10: I'm half Puerto Rican, I can fill a lot of gaps here.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_10: It was very specific.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_10: Hunt was like dad bod.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_08: Uh Grampy, half Puerto Rican is very important.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_08: But he doesn't be a New York Yankees fan.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_10: Big Yankee fan.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, there's a lot of demographics I can handle.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_10: So we'll see.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_10: Mel, we're asking everybody this, okay?
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_10: Give me your 2026 so far pinball moment.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_10: Don't lead the witness.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and it can't be um you being on my episode prior or you being a guest on the JBS show, because that was in 2025.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: In pinball, and it was just like a personal achievement.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_10: Anything you did, what what what struck your fancy in 2026 at your life?
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it's actually really easy for me.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because in my seven years in pinball, I s I started putting stuff online a year ago this week.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, very, very sporadically, and then really kicked it in in 2026.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: So the highlight for me was really like meeting all of these other people in the community that aren't in Nashville or aren't necessarily tournament players, um, and getting to talk with them and like learn so much and get invited to these events like Media Day, where like I got to meet you, Ralph, and um and Pinball Expo.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like this is, I think, the first year where I kind of went like all in.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'd sort of been living in my local arcades and looking at stuff online.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: So I know that's more than one moment per se.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh yeah, I mean it's it's hard to articulate anything more than than that.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_10: No, I knew it was coming, right?
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_10: Because we had a conversation prior, and I knew that you were gonna start doing a lot more content creation, and you're killing it.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_10: By the way.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's fun, it's a blast.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_10: It's a blast.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_10: And and you know, when I had to start over, I was like, do I really want to start over?
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_10: And I was like, Hell yeah, I want to start over.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_10: This is fun as hell.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_10: I'm having a blast.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_10: And then of course I met those idiots and then the rest is history.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think it's also like definitely the most I've ever traveled for pinball.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I work freelance, so you know, I understand that's like a luxury to be able to do.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but when you do a lot of remote work and when you have breaks in between, like um, you know, I I took more pinball trips this year than I've ever than I've ever done.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you started Chicago alone.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_10: Pinball at the beach you did last year.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_10: Are you doing it again?
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not certain.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_01: I know I won't make the tournament unless wait list goes nuts.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but um I have been the first the last two years, absolutely adored it.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I am doing the Texas rodeo women's tournament like a week before.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I'm kind of trying to figure out what my work schedule is gonna look like if I'm can swing the beach or not, but I've never done the rodeo.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_01: So that was that took priority for me this year because I've been meaning to do that for a long time.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_08: No, they they do a really great job over there.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_08: Do you think we could get you to Texas Pinball Festival in 2027?
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's very possible.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that'd be cool.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's very possible.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um I haven't been in a few years, and it was honestly, it was the first time I went to a pinball show.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_01: So I was just walking through like the baby and baby's day out.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like I was just taking it all in.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, what the tournaments are separate?
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_01: What is this?
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, so it'd be fun to go back and experience it again, knowing where people know and um kind of knowing a little bit more than the land.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_10: You you get mobbed, don't you?
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_10: You do.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_10: You get mobbed.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_10: She gets mobbed.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh it always feels good when when um you know, I try to take the approach when I'm making stuff of just like make what you want to put out there, and the people that aren't gonna like it aren't gonna like it, and the people that are are.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so I try not to think too much about that stuff, but it feels really good when you go somewhere and someone comes up and is like, hey, I learned how to do the King Kong like secret cat mode from your video, and now every time we go to the arcade, I like show my friends how to do it, and it's so much fun.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like it is really it feels good.
• 29:07
  unknown: Yeah.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_10: That's our currency.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_10: We're not making any money.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_10: That's our currency.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_10: I feel like you stole that from me.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_10: I think you stole that from me.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_08: No, I said it and then you ran with it, and now I can't say it anymore because now it's like your thing.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_08: Because everyone's saying, I moved that into my vernacular.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_08: You moved it and it straight in.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_08: It was quick too.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_08: You're just like, it's mine.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_08: You trademark it.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think this is where you have this is where you go back and then you edit the first time one of y'all said that into this clip.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_01: Like run the tape.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's true.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_10: I think I said it first.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_10: That sounds Jamieism more than a Ralphism.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_10: I don't think it is.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_08: We'll see.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_08: We'll ask him.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_08: I need to tell Mel something because this was so I was like um we did they did their content creator panel, which we didn't get to go to, unfortunately, because ours was like booked over it or something.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_08: And uh we were talking like Mel and I were talking a little bit, and I was like, Yeah, I I I tried to really prepare the last time, and then um that one, unfortunately, for whatever reason isn't on YouTube.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_08: I don't know why, it's not on the pinball thing.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_08: So I went and watched your other one, right?
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_08: And and I was like, Oh yeah, Mel, you know, just I'm just trying to give you some tips, like prepare a little.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_08: Not that she wouldn't have, and then stop I watched Mel's panel.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_08: She's like, Oh, live via satellite, she's pulling people, man, different video feeds.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_08: I'm like, what the fuck?
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_08: I was like, she like nailed this thing.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_08: She did scripts, outfits, I was like, changes, wardrobe change.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_08: I'm like, all right, like, never mind.

  SPEAKER_01: I'm a theater kid.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_01: I am such a theater kid at heart.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, you know what was hysterical about that was um someone that's become a good friend and champion of mine in the pinball world.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_01: I won't name their names just in case, but they they knew I was excited to do this panel.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_01: And they said, Hey, I just want to, I just want you to brace yourself.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of times people don't show up to these things.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want you to get your hopes up.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_01: Because I told them I'm I'm wearing a costume, I'm making a slideshow, and they were like, also, your time slot is the worst time slot.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like, just prepare yourself.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, if there are three people in the room, they're getting a show.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: And I think there were about three people in the room.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_08: Oh.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_08: Really?
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_08: My my first panel I ever did, uh well, it wasn't it wasn't pinball related, it was like arcade because I was like kind of covered in that for a long time.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_08: And there was like four people in the room, and I and I did the same thing you did.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_08: I was like, I had presentation, I had music, I had wheeled a speaker in because I wanted to play music in the room and stuff.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_08: But yeah, there was like four people, and I think one of them was my daughter.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_08: So that's really sweet.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_08: Did she get up and leave?
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_08: And she's like, Dad, no one really knows you, huh?
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_08: I'm like, shut up.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_01: You're like, don't rub it in.

  SPEAKER_01: But I have five people.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_05: Doing good, more than me.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm sitting there putting like statistics on like how my things have grown and my like how my demographics have changed, and I'm like, uh, you can figure out.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's like like this should just be a group discussion at this point.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_01: But they got a show and they did film them all, which was fun.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was a tough time slot.

  SPEAKER_08: Uh and I and like you.
• 32:26

• 39:23
  SPEAKER_16: That's a good one.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_16: You know, and it's like I always we always love the Stern uh media days.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_16: That's where we it's so funny because we were sitting there, we were watching there, like they're on that um at expo, they were had the 40th drinks with Jack.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_16: You know, and I'm sitting there, we were kind of towards the front.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_16: I was like, you feel like you know all of us.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_16: Whether they do know you or not, they they recall us to some degree, but they don't know you know you, you know.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_16: But you're sitting there like you're watching friends talk about pinball, even though, you know, because we've had Gary Stern, we've talked to him a lot, and we've talked to Seth and George Gomez.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_17: And Jack and Jack.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_16: But it's it's hard.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_16: One one I don't know.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_17: I think my favorite one was the last media day we were there, Jack walked past me and said, Hey buddy, and I made a comment about it on our show.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_17: And so when I saw him at Expo, he walked up to me and said, Hey buddy.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: So that's what I'm big time crap.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_16: The other the other one, um Jack Danger, like two years ago when they were in that autograph session, we walked up and I was like, and and Jack Danger was there, and I was like, Where's your it's all Jack Danger?
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_16: It was like, Where's where's your he was talking about that one that he made, that little the spinner game?
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_16: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_16: Which I I told him I call it strangely addictive.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_16: That's what I think the name of it should be.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_16: But so he drew this little, he took a flyer from the table next to him and drew this map.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_16: And I was like, Well, now you gotta sign it.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_16: And he signed it.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_16: So we have this this thing for like uh framed with his where like a map to where his spinner game is and his name.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_16: So then this year, I went up and I said, Crack through Sally says, Your spinners are a different spot, so we need another map.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_16: So he drew a three-dimensional map and then signed it.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_16: So like we're gonna just have each year, we're gonna make him give us a map to his like spinner game.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_08: Awesome.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_16: That's yeah.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_08: I can't believe I missed that this year.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_08: I didn't realize he brought it back again because that thing is super fun.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_08: You could just sit there and keep playing it.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_08: It's cool.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_16: I literally, it's because now he added one thing, because now it has the auto shoot, like now it has an auto kickback, so it does that and it does the the the buck, and then it has like it never ends.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_16: Like, no matter if you drain, it just goes into the buck and throws it back, and you just keep going forever.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_16: It's it's this madness, you know.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_16: But well, thanks for it.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_16: We always enjoy we always we enjoy going to Stern a lot.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_16: Um I I wish some of the other companies would do that.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_16: I mean, and maybe they do, but they just do it with like you know, different, you know, different groups.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_16: But you know, I would love to see some of the way some of the stuff is made at these other places.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_16: You know.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_10: Well, I I'm not gonna be able to tell you barrels of fun for a long, long time, so don't worry about it.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_10: Not fans of Jamie.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_16: You know, we we really uh we don't really stir the pot so much.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_16: We just kind of sit back and and we let the aroma hit us, but we don't really stir it.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_16: We just go, you know, I used to start whatever she wants.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_10: I used to do that, and then I joined a podcast called The Round Table, and that all changed.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_16: I have been uh living vicariously through your drama.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_16: I have been like listening and and I watching, I was like, you know, you know, wow.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, what are you gonna do?
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_16: It'll be okay.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_10: We'll get through it.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_10: We'll get through it together.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_16: So, question for you.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_16: You know, I have gone on air a couple times now saying that I feel that right now we are in the heyday of pinball.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_16: Now, I'm not being short-sighted, I I read a lot of history books about pinball, and I think comparatively, I know everyone says the Bally William days and all that stuff, but I'm kind of like, eh, this might be the new heyday.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_10: It might be.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_10: And and time will tell.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_10: We sure as hell have a lot of manufacturers, and we sure are getting a hell of a lot of machines every year.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_10: So a lot of them are bangers, so it's been pretty great.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_16: Even the bad ones are still shh okay.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_16: You know, that's the thing, it really isn't like a race.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_08: It's a bad game.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_08: Like, we the you really have to reach to say, like, oh, that's a bad game.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_08: Like all the major manufacturers are making pretty fun games, like across the board.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_08: So I agree with you.
• 43:28

  SPEAKER_08: I was that's what I was gonna say.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_08: It's like Tim steers the bomb now, you know?
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_08: I'm not getting in any trouble.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_08: I view Tim, I view it as like satire.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_08: It's funny.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_08: You just gotta laugh.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_08: Maybe there's a little bit of truth in the satire, but it's still good.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_08: I have I've been really enjoying uh the Tim Sexton heel turn.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_08: It's been awesome.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a heel.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I'm a heel, man.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_08: I'm just kidding.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_08: I'm kidding.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know where this came from.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think I just I just put some references in my videos, and everyone's like, what?
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: You can't talk about stuff that's not pinball.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_10: I love it.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_10: I know it's been really fun.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it's been a really great ride that you're on, and I keep please keep making these content.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_10: It's absolutely fantastic.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_00: All right, because of you, Jamie, I'll keep doing it.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_10: Thank you very much.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_10: I never really got a chance to hang out with Tim at Expo.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_10: It was a bummer of mine.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_00: I saw Ralph for a second.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you made a video.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_10: Did you know that you're on that video?
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, I know.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I heard Ralph.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_00: Ralph came around the corner, right, when we were setting up.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: And uh he was doing something with Mason.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: He was talking about like, where's the Halo?
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's not here.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I heard him, so I went over and I was like, what are you talking about?
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_08: And I was genuinely like, how is this happening at this very moment?
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_08: And then he was a really good part of that video.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_08: It's excellent.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_00: Can't wait when we don't have it next year, it could be a running game.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_08: Well, I well, I hope that's not the case.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_10: Whatever it is, whatever the game is.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_10: Whatever the game is, we can't wait to see it.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_10: Uh I'm hoping it's TPF, is what I'm hoping.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_10: He's not here.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_00: Just next year, you're saying 2027.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_10: This year, this coming year.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_10: That would be so awesome.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_10: That would be really cool.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_10: Ralph's addicted to TPF now.
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_00: I've never been to TPF.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_08: Really?
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_08: I think if you went as a guest, like and didn't go there and decide to play, like me, meaning you go to the show to just enjoy the show and not play in a tournament.
• 46:35
  SPEAKER_08: I think you'd find it, it's just got a very like relaxed vibe to it.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_08: Even though there are uh all the manufacturers are mainly there, it just feels more relaxed.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_08: And the there's carpet, so it's comfy.
• 46:47
  SPEAKER_08: Like you just want to walk.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_08: It's great.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_08: And the the lights are all dim.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_08: It's not like bright conference lighting.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_08: It's pretty cool.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_00: That is a really good point you bring up after your expo.
• 46:55
  SPEAKER_00: The way your knees feel, and I'm not that old.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_10: After three days, were you hurting?
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I woke up with a Charlie horse on Saturday.
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_00: Like, oh my god, you know, just paid the price.
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_10: I I was wearing sambas thinking I was hot shit, and on Thursday, and my feet hurt so bad, I switched to the dad shoes.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_10: The hook is I said, screw this, man.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_10: No, no.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, never been to Texas.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: I never I think um when we did Black Knight, me and Steve, we launched at MGC, which is like right after Texas, and that's close to us, that's in Milwaukee.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_00: So we did uh people were asking, like, what about Texas?
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it just wasn't in the schedule, but once you kind of hit Texas, then it's like all the shows are run right after that.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh expo kind of ends the show season, so then it's like now we're in a lull.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_00: But MGC's a big one, and that's not just pinball, that's just uh the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's a total gaming show all over.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_10: Have you been to that, Ralph?
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_08: Which one?
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_08: The Midwest Gaming class, the one you just mentioned.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_08: No, there was like a couple of times where that yeah, that I was going to, and I never ended up going.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_08: No.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_08: The only other one I go to that I was going to consistently was Southern Fried Gaming Expo, but I I Xnade that one now, just because I can't only go to I can't go to I don't know.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_08: You're not something that's not a good one.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_08: You don't want to be like that content creator that goes to every single one of them.
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_10: You don't want to be first anymore.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_08: You're too big now.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_08: No, that's just what you do in the beginning because you think you have to.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_08: You feel like, oh, the only way I'm relevant is if I'm everywhere, and then you realize like number one, that's unsustainable, and you don't have to do that.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_08: So it's like kind of crazy.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_00: You guys ever wish you could be those Orlando content creators who have to go to a theme park like every day and cover every new food release and every roller coaster and every event?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_08: But would that be cool, maybe?
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I think you get right.
• 48:49
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't you get bored of it?
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_00: It'd be like how many.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's true.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_08: But they get so many more views on it.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_08: They get so many more views than we do.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_08: That's true.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_08: Especially if you cover Disney theme park stuff.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_08: Oh my god.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_08: Um Tim, I'm bummed that you uh in your one of your videos, you put the funny like uh Chicago Bears little thing at the end.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_08: And I in my comment I said, I want more case keenum.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_08: And I thought you'd laugh at that because remember when he was like just a couple weeks ago, I was like, oh my god, but that game was pretty awesome.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_08: That was actually awesome.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_08: I was I was like, holy crap, to come to not have played football in so long and then do that, he like blew it up.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_08: It was so fun.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I also I don't really engage with my comments.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_00: I just feel like I'm done.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm just done.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: The video's out.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_09: You don't engage with the comments.
• 49:39
  SPEAKER_00: I won't expect it any bad then.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't I just don't know what they're talking about in there.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they just gotta go off, and I'm just like, oh, okay.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_00: Do you read them?
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: I sometimes, if there's a bunch of them, I'll read like the gist.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'll like wait till they kind of come in and I'll get the gist of them, and then I'll I won't I won't read them all.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_00: Even on YouTube, I don't read them all.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_10: Really?
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_10: Wow.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_10: Jamie and I obsessively responded to them.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_10: We obsess over them.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, potato head, it ruins my day.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't know.
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_00: I think I've also like made a lot of stuff on the internet where I'm trying to just get some kind of reaction.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like I've made non-pinball stuff.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_00: Pinball people don't watch it, but I like tried it for a little while and I was like, I don't care what these guys have to say.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: I made like a video about AI in 2023.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, this is never gonna work.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_10: And I still I'm still holding it.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, it's not gonna be good.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's that was the point of the video.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like it's still not I agree.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_00: Like with myself from three years ago, it's still not good.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_00: I see those billboards on the side of the restaurants, and I'm like, ugh, god.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the art perspective is pretty rough.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, the art is pretty bad.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_08: Every pinball thumbnail now, well, not everyone, but a lot of people are moving that way with thumbnails, and I I hate them, Tim.
• 51:03

  SPEAKER_08: He could do it.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_08: He could do it.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_08: Mason could be he should he was the thumbnail guy in the arcade scene, so he just needs to become the thumbnail guy for pinball.

• 51:46
  SPEAKER_10: Check out my thumbnails.

  SPEAKER_00: They don't put a different smile on your face that you've never made before.

  SPEAKER_08: Or you you like don't even look like yourself.
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_10: All right, we're asking guests what is your favorite 2026 moment of pinball so far.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_10: And it's not being a guest on my show, you can't say that.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_00: Although this is I was not prepared for this question.
• 52:18
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite moment.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what moment struck your fancy in 2026?
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I think it was cool actually just seeing the reaction Steve got, like announcing his retirement, the standing ovation.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad he was able to do it, like get a game out, and then be like, this was got the game out first, and then was like, this is the last one.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, he's had I mean, it's undeniable, he's had 40 plus years of the industry.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's kind of came and went, but it's like that was cool to me that he got like a big, you know, hey everyone, congratulations at Expo.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I did two games with Steve and you know, friends with him, so it's like it's cool to see like he got to go out on the way he wanted to go.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I he says he retired from coin op.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see him back at the shows, but I have a feeling like Steve's not done.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_00: He's just got too much energy.
• 53:08
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is just speculation, but Steve just every time he's kind of left pinball, he's come back.
• 53:15
  SPEAKER_00: Like 97, he left, came back, and then left after like Stern for a while, came back.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_00: So he always he always kind of finds his way back into it.
• 53:22

• 53:23
  SPEAKER_08: Did you uh Jamie?

• 53:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like, hey, Steve, Steve and I went up to Pentastic.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_00: It was after I think it was after Black Knight again.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_00: So it was like a year after that, and then I don't know, that one did well where we just kind of like talked to some people on the factory floor, and like, hey, this is this person, he's in play field tests.

• 1:12:31
  SPEAKER_19: You know what happened?
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_19: I realized when we set the back box up, we must have pinched one of the cables.

  SPEAKER_03: That's a rookie move.
• 1:12:42
  SPEAKER_09: Is is this why all the all the long faces behind you?
• 1:12:46
  SPEAKER_09: They can't play Pokemon.
• 1:12:48
  SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
• 1:12:48
  SPEAKER_19: It was like one of the cables was like trapped, so it was like pulling down on some of the wires that were going into the monitor.
• 1:12:56
  SPEAKER_19: So I think just over time, I think that wire is just probably chewed up inside.
• 1:13:02
  SPEAKER_19: And I just need a new cable.
• 1:13:05
  SPEAKER_09: That happened to me.
• 1:13:06

  SPEAKER_09: Wow very much.

  SPEAKER_10: Can I because I just didn't because if it goes off the rails, I can always edit it later.
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_19: Yeah, it's a rookie move.
• 1:14:00
  SPEAKER_10: You think I should have gone live?
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_10: I could have put in money.
• 1:14:04

  SPEAKER_19: It's just so much easier.
• 1:14:11
  SPEAKER_19: There's like no editing.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_19: You almost like self-edit as you're going, and then even if you stumble a little, no one cares because it's live and you just get so much more respect.
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I've I've noticed that.
• 1:14:22
  SPEAKER_09: I think that's a good move.

  SPEAKER_09: It saves you time, it feels good, it feels right.
• 1:14:27
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_19: Yeah, because I would like do 25 minutes and then have to like listen to it all over again just to do tiny little edits, and I'm like spending an hour and a half to do a 20-minute show.

  SPEAKER_19: It's like the potential is all there.

  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, no, no, you're right.

  SPEAKER_03: Jeff.
• 1:21:53
  SPEAKER_10: We're asking some people this question, but we didn't get to it with Canada because he had his kids in the bed.
• 1:21:58
  SPEAKER_10: It was a disaster.
• 1:22:00
  SPEAKER_10: What is your favorite moment so far in 2026 of pinball?
• 1:22:07
  SPEAKER_15: I'm wholly unprepared for this.
• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's okay.
• 1:22:13
  SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna go with the original themes that are coming out.
• 1:22:16
  SPEAKER_15: I'm not I'm not a fan of the remakes and remasters, so I wanted to give a tip of the hat to every company that's releasing a new IP.
• 1:22:24
  SPEAKER_15: I think that that's the way forward for pinball, and I appreciate all the companies that are doing that.
• 1:22:30
  SPEAKER_10: Bravo.
• 1:22:31
  SPEAKER_10: Earlier today, I was talking uh to Foghorn, Leghorn.
• 1:22:36
  SPEAKER_10: No, actually, Josh Roop said, do you think that this is like a the 90s was like a golden age of pinball?
• 1:22:44
  SPEAKER_10: Do you think we're at a golden age right now with so many great machines being released?
• 1:22:49
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, I think every now moment is the golden age of pinball, right?
• 1:22:52
  SPEAKER_15: Because pinball is constantly being innovated, right?
• 1:22:55
  SPEAKER_15: Like it is whatever technology is new is being put into pinball.
• 1:22:59
  SPEAKER_15: Every person that's making a pinball machine is trying to out, you know, not outdo, but make something better and more improved than the previous one.
• 1:23:07
  SPEAKER_15: So from a technology standpoint, I think every every year is the golden year for pinball.
• 1:23:12
  SPEAKER_15: But I do think there's a lot of companies taking risks.
• 1:23:14
  SPEAKER_15: We've got more independent film style pinball companies than ever that are doing just weird things in pinball.
• 1:23:21
  SPEAKER_15: You've got, you know, the homebrew scene is just popping off with like insane ideas.
• 1:23:24
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, like uh obviously this attack on Titan did such a buzz from Pinball Expo, and for good reason.
• 1:23:30
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, it's like they're just putting ideas into games that hopefully that stuff starts to drizzle down and get into games that are being manufactured.
• 1:23:39
  SPEAKER_10: Awesome.
• 1:23:40
  SPEAKER_10: Well said, well said, sir.
• 1:23:42
  SPEAKER_10: Uh thank you, Jeff, for coming on.

• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, really?
• 1:24:26
  SPEAKER_09: So I have to like have to switch every time a new person comes in, I have to go switch the input.

  SPEAKER_15: I stay on top of him.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_15: Is that the crossover?
• 1:25:17
  SPEAKER_15: Do you imagine if Back to the Future went into the Goonies universe?
• 1:25:20
  SPEAKER_15: Like, is there a world where those two themes cross over?
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_15: I think so.
• 1:25:26
  SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
• 1:25:27
  SPEAKER_07: As long as one of those doesn't have a Corey Feldman, I'd be happy.

  SPEAKER_15: Is there a pizza?
• 1:25:38

  SPEAKER_10: No, we're gold.
• 1:34:02
  SPEAKER_10: Carrie Hardy, thank you so much for joining the 100th episode of the JBS show.
• 1:34:06
  SPEAKER_10: We're we're we're getting five to ten minutes of everybody, and I thank you so, so much for taking the time out of your day.
• 1:34:12
  SPEAKER_10: I know you're busy, brother.
• 1:34:14
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, no problem, man.
• 1:34:15
  SPEAKER_12: I was about to eat, and then I was like, oh, that's right.
• 1:34:17
  SPEAKER_12: My alarm went off to remind me kind of thing.
• 1:34:19
  SPEAKER_12: I was like, I better get in there and start booting all the games up and everything.
• 1:34:22
  SPEAKER_10: Well, it looks really good.
• 1:34:24
  SPEAKER_10: You're you're really taking streaming to another level here in 2026.
• 1:34:29
  SPEAKER_10: You're good.
• 1:34:30
  SPEAKER_12: A lot of other better people out there than me.
• 1:34:32
  SPEAKER_12: I've only started, so it's a skill set that I have yet to even uh come near mastering at all.
• 1:34:39
  SPEAKER_10: Well, the guy to your left is kicking some ass and taking names and streaming, Kale Hernandez and Surge.
• 1:34:47
  SPEAKER_10: It's fantastic.
• 1:34:48
  SPEAKER_10: But that's different.
• 1:34:50
  SPEAKER_09: Competitive streaming is a different animal.
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_09: True.
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_09: I th I think they're separate categories.
• 1:34:55
  SPEAKER_09: What what do you say, Carrie?
• 1:34:56
  SPEAKER_12: Well, I think definitely with competitive, you know, you've got your people that are like, you know, voicing over what the person is playing, so that's merely it.
• 1:35:05
  SPEAKER_12: I don't normally see a lot of like, you know, chat back and forth discussion with the player.
• 1:35:10
  SPEAKER_12: Now, with the moderators like yourself, Kale, and everything and stuff, I could see you guys interacting with chat, or do you normally interact with chat or not?
• 1:35:16
  SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
• 1:35:17
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah, totally.
• 1:35:18
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:18
  SPEAKER_12: So you guys are doing the moderating as well as monitoring chat, doing that, whereas the player is just trying to do the best that they possibly can on that game.
• 1:35:27
  SPEAKER_12: Whereas on regular streaming, you've got you know, them collaborating together.
• 1:35:31
  SPEAKER_12: The player is interacting with chat, and that's where I think definitely the skill is required to be able to keep up with chat as well as play well enough and be entertaining.
• 1:35:39
  SPEAKER_12: That's hard.
• 1:35:39
  SPEAKER_12: You yeah, it's like I could definitely see where it can be challenging.
• 1:35:43
  SPEAKER_10: I've I'm already experiencing that all the time, and I leave the wrong camera on and I do this, but my audience is is patient with me, so God bless them.
• 1:35:52
  SPEAKER_12: Well, do you like my first one?
• 1:35:54
  SPEAKER_12: Was like streaming with Sonic, and that was like then they dropped the brand new code, and everything was working, and then I start the stream, and for whatever reason, my audio is not working coming from Sonic, and I didn't know that evidently that new code resets your health, your headphone jack back down to zero.
• 1:36:09
  SPEAKER_12: So the whole time I'm doing WSS, which means wiggle some shit.
• 1:36:13
  SPEAKER_12: I'm like, you're like, where am I losing my connection?
• 1:36:15
  SPEAKER_12: And I'm trying to figure out what's going on, and then like after the stream was over, I continue, and then that's when I realized that my volume was just turned down.
• 1:36:22
  SPEAKER_12: Such a rookie mistake kind of thing.
• 1:36:23
  SPEAKER_12: And I was like, oh my god, all that yeah.
• 1:36:27
  SPEAKER_10: Which that's why you get paid the big bucks, brother.
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, if only that's why we get paid the big bucks.
• 1:36:34
  SPEAKER_10: So I'm asking people their top 26 2026 moment in pinball so far.
• 1:36:41
  SPEAKER_10: What what what is your favorite moment that you've rocked so far in 2026?
• 1:36:45
  SPEAKER_12: My favorite moment in 2026 in pinball.
• 1:36:49
  SPEAKER_12: Besides lunch with us.
• 1:36:51
  SPEAKER_12: Besides, that was a good lunch.
• 1:36:52
  SPEAKER_12: That was that was definitely very nice.
• 1:36:54
  SPEAKER_12: I I enjoyed that.
• 1:36:55
  SPEAKER_12: I'm trying to think of like, you know, a particular moment.
• 1:36:58
  SPEAKER_12: I I think that's where I guess being a little bit on the inside of the industry, it's difficult for me to say that I was like surprised or thrown back or something that was just like, wow, because I typically see things before they come out, anyways.
• 1:37:13
  SPEAKER_12: So it's the same thing with Expo.
• 1:37:15
  SPEAKER_12: Seeing them playing the games, people ask me, have you played this game?
• 1:37:17
  SPEAKER_12: And I'm like, Yeah, I did a feature ed on it.
• 1:37:20
  SPEAKER_12: Got a I was like, Yeah, like I I did to play the game.
• 1:37:23
  SPEAKER_12: So, as far as like the biggest moment, I don't know.
• 1:37:26
  SPEAKER_12: Now I kind of wish I would have had these questions in advance because this is a challenging one.
• 1:37:30
  SPEAKER_12: This is a banger of a year, or at least when some of these well, what we're about to get is definitely some bangers because they're they're tapping into the nostalgia.
• 1:37:38
  SPEAKER_12: So I think it's definitely hitting a good demographic right here when we got Goonies about to drop, in fact, the future's about to drop.
• 1:37:45
  SPEAKER_12: I guess a good moment for me it would be uh getting my first spooky game.
• 1:37:50
  SPEAKER_12: Uh, thank Beetlejuice, when I got that game, that was a big moment for me kind of thing, because I I didn't know if I was ever going to own one of their games.
• 1:37:57
  SPEAKER_12: But uh that was a good moment for me right there.
• 1:37:59
  SPEAKER_12: And I'm looking forward to getting the next one.
• 1:38:02
  SPEAKER_10: Are you gonna get a Goonies?
• 1:38:03
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I I think I'm gonna have to.
• 1:38:05
  SPEAKER_12: Uh the wife's a big fan of it, and the kids watched it and everything, so but yeah, I think I will.
• 1:38:11
  SPEAKER_12: But I gotta move Beetlejuice out before I can do that.
• 1:38:14
  SPEAKER_12: I'm gonna have a designated spooky spot type of thing.
• 1:38:17
  SPEAKER_10: That's pretty cool.
• 1:38:19

  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I wouldn't want to do it.
• 1:53:58
  SPEAKER_06: If I did do it, I would want to do it probably like the website, kind of like in and out quick, but like frequently.
• 1:54:04
  SPEAKER_06: That that would be my niche, I think.
• 1:54:06
  SPEAKER_06: I would be like, here's what's happening now, five, ten minutes out, you know, and then like, but do it like a couple times a week or something like that.
• 1:54:15
  SPEAKER_10: That's what we do.
• 1:54:16
  SPEAKER_10: We make magic happen here on the JBS show, and that's Kale has given you a brilliant idea, and we can't wait to see it.

  SPEAKER_10: Let's bring in Kevin Manny.
• 1:57:26
  SPEAKER_10: Hey, there you are.
• 1:57:27
  SPEAKER_10: How are you?
• 1:57:27
  SPEAKER_10: I was watching the World Series.
• 1:57:29
  SPEAKER_10: Perfect timing.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_10: What's the score?
• 1:57:32
  SPEAKER_05: Because I've been on since seven.
• 1:57:34
  SPEAKER_05: Four-nothing brewers.
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_05: It's looking good for the brew crew.
• 1:57:36
  SPEAKER_10: We we gotta root for the brewers, right?
• 1:57:38
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, no way we're rooting for brewers.
• 1:57:40
  SPEAKER_10: As AL East fans, we're not rooting for Tampa Bay.
• 1:57:43
  SPEAKER_10: No.
• 1:57:44
  SPEAKER_10: No way.
• 1:57:45
  SPEAKER_10: And they're in St.
• 1:57:46
  SPEAKER_10: Pete, they're not even in Tampa Bay.
• 1:57:48
  SPEAKER_05: I know, exactly.
• 1:57:49
  SPEAKER_05: And half the fans at the stadium are are Brewers fans, anyways.
• 1:57:52
  SPEAKER_10: That's embarrassing, isn't it?
• 1:57:54
  SPEAKER_05: This is really bad.
• 1:57:55
  SPEAKER_05: It's really bad.
• 1:57:56
  SPEAKER_10: It's really bad.
• 1:57:58
  SPEAKER_10: It's such a bad look for Tampa Bay that it makes me laugh.
• 1:58:03
  SPEAKER_10: And I have a bunch of fraternity brothers that jumped on that wagon when they got the team, and I'm like, they're giving me all this kind of shit.
• 1:58:12
  SPEAKER_05: Well, the problem with Tampa Bay is like half the people that live in the area are not from there, so they bring their fandom with them from wherever they're from.
• 1:58:20
  SPEAKER_05: That's why when the Yankees play there, it's basically a home game every time.
• 1:58:27
  SPEAKER_05: But, anyways, congrat- that's baseball.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_05: Congrats on a hundred episodes, Jamie Birchel.
• 1:58:31
  SPEAKER_10: Thank you, man.
• 1:58:33

  SPEAKER_10: Thanks for having me on.
• 1:58:36
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
• 1:58:37
  SPEAKER_05: We never got there with the bro show.
• 1:58:39
  SPEAKER_05: After like 10 years, we never we never did 100 episodes.
• 1:58:44
  SPEAKER_05: Because we only did one a month.
• 1:58:46
  SPEAKER_10: One a month.
• 1:58:46
  SPEAKER_10: One a month.
• 1:58:47
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:58:48
  SPEAKER_10: So what's going on there?
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_10: Give us some inside baseball on uh bro.
• 1:58:52
  SPEAKER_10: Do you even talk pinball?
• 1:58:53
  SPEAKER_10: Is it coming back?
• 1:58:55
  SPEAKER_05: Nick decided he didn't want to do it without me, so no more bro show.
• 1:58:59
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, I can't blame him doing it without me.
• 1:59:01
  SPEAKER_10: I can't blame him either.
• 1:59:02
  SPEAKER_10: I was uh I wasn't auditioning for a guest host, though.
• 1:59:06
  SPEAKER_10: I was gonna try to audition today.
• 1:59:08
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 1:59:09
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, if if you basically like ran the whole thing, he might do a show with you.
• 1:59:14
  SPEAKER_05: I think that I think that was the main holdup.
• 1:59:16
  SPEAKER_10: Well, yeah, you did everything, right?
• 1:59:18
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:59:18
  SPEAKER_05: I mean I mean it's a lot of you know this, it's a lot of work.
• 1:59:21
  SPEAKER_05: You gotta promote it and record it and upload it and thumbnails and descriptions, and then put it on all the social media channels, and then before the show, you gotta prepare it and uh put a whole rundown together and or find a guest.
• 1:59:35
  SPEAKER_05: I I you know, I you know you're putting together all these guests for this hundredth episode show.
• 1:59:40
  SPEAKER_05: It takes a lot of work, and uh, you know, after 10 plus years, it was like, okay, we're good.
• 1:59:44
  SPEAKER_05: I think we I think we said what it needs to be.
• 1:59:47
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you gotta give it to yourselves.
• 1:59:49
  SPEAKER_10: You had a great run.
• 1:59:50
  SPEAKER_10: It it was really one of the most entertaining podcasts out there.
• 1:59:54
  SPEAKER_10: Uh, and I love that it was on Twitch that you can join live if you wanted to.
• 1:59:58
  SPEAKER_10: You didn't have to, but you know, it was a great podcast.
• 2:00:02
  SPEAKER_10: Congratulations on that.
• 2:00:03
  SPEAKER_10: Don't yeah, so you're making a hundred.
• 2:00:05
  SPEAKER_10: Who gives a shit?
• 2:00:05
  SPEAKER_10: It was great.
• 2:00:06
  unknown: Exactly.
• 2:00:07
  SPEAKER_05: And yeah, the Twitch thing was fun.
• 2:00:09
  SPEAKER_05: It uh um that was always kind of our main platform, so it felt like let's do it here.
• 2:00:14
  SPEAKER_05: Nobody was really doing live podcasts, at least in the pinball world when we started it, so it was kind of a new thing, and it was it made it more fun because then you got that like instant feedback from the chat uh of like, you know, what are people think?
• 2:00:27
  SPEAKER_05: You know, we're saying one thing, what are what are other people saying?
• 2:00:30
  SPEAKER_05: We could like go to the chat and answer questions and kind of keep the conversation going, yeah.
• 2:00:34
  SPEAKER_05: Uh and bring in some other perspectives, which I always kind of liked and and appreciated.
• 2:00:39
  SPEAKER_10: Alright.
• 2:00:40
  SPEAKER_10: We have one guest, but they're being a pain in the ass.
• 2:00:43
  SPEAKER_10: So hold on a second.
• 2:00:44
  SPEAKER_10: So what I'm gonna do is have you just join me for the next 20 minutes.
• 2:00:47
  SPEAKER_10: Is that okay?
• 2:00:48
  SPEAKER_10: While we bring in some other people?
• 2:00:50
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, sure.
• 2:00:50
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, it's gonna be a party.
• 2:00:52
  SPEAKER_10: All right.
• 2:00:52
  SPEAKER_10: It's gonna be a party.
• 2:00:54
  SPEAKER_10: Let's see if I can get one guest in on a little early.
• 2:00:59
  SPEAKER_10: This has been a nightmare, and I'll never do this again.
• 2:01:02
  SPEAKER_05: Dude, I can I can't imagine the logistics of trying to coordinate all this.
• 2:01:05
  SPEAKER_10: You know, I thought I learned my lesson, Kevin, from the Twippies.
• 2:01:10
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_10: And because that was a logistical nightmare.
• 2:01:15
  SPEAKER_10: I tried to do it all live and all this, so that's why I didn't do it live.
• 2:01:20
  SPEAKER_10: Kale was just on, he was giving me shit for not doing this on live on YouTube.
• 2:01:26
  SPEAKER_10: I just couldn't do it.
• 2:01:27
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 2:01:28
  SPEAKER_05: At least the recording it, you can like, if something doesn't go perfectly as planned, you can edit it out or whatever.
• 2:01:33
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, there's a lot of echoes because Kale's Riverside was giving him some problems, so every guest he brought in, there's like an echo for 30 seconds, so I've gotta go back and I've gotta edit all that crap out.
• 2:01:45
  SPEAKER_02: Oh fuck.
• 2:01:48
  SPEAKER_10: But it'll be alright, because we're almost we're almost done, and then I've got uh uh the World Series while I'm editing.
• 2:01:56
  SPEAKER_05: There you go.
• 2:01:56
  SPEAKER_05: It's always sports, it's always sports.
• 2:01:59
  SPEAKER_05: It's always sports, exactly.
• 2:02:00
  SPEAKER_10: You know, sport I was saying to my buddy today Sports and pinball, it's just so few of us, right?
• 2:02:08
  SPEAKER_10: Me and you talk about this on the podcast.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_10: You were guests on this year's podcast on the JBS show.
• 2:02:13
  SPEAKER_10: And I finally got Kevin on.
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_10: But sports is the only live TV that I watch.
• 2:02:21
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, right?
• 2:02:23
  SPEAKER_10: So I don't watch anything else live, and so I never we're getting bombarded in Texas with these fucking ads for political ads.
• 2:02:33
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, it's awful.
• 2:02:34
  SPEAKER_10: It's awful.
• 2:02:34
  SPEAKER_10: It I I don't know how bad it is in New York.
• 2:02:36
  SPEAKER_10: It is just terrible here.
• 2:02:39
  SPEAKER_10: It's terrible.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I I listened to a news program the other day and it was talking about all the different uh political ads.
• 2:02:45
  SPEAKER_05: This this guy had like watched, he made it his job to like watch all the political ads, and I the the stuff we get in New York is like nowhere near like a battleground state.
• 2:02:54
  SPEAKER_05: When it's a battleground state, you just get absolutely bombarded constantly.
• 2:02:58
  SPEAKER_10: Well, Texas is in play, right?
• 2:03:00
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:03:01
  SPEAKER_10: And so we're totally a battleground state, and we're just getting almost oh yeah, I can't imagine.
• 2:03:07
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:03:08
  SPEAKER_05: That that's the downside of watching content live.
• 2:03:11
  SPEAKER_10: But yeah, it sucks.
• 2:03:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, for for the hundredth episode, uh I feel like we need to learn a little bit more about Jamie.
• 2:03:18
  SPEAKER_05: Should we should we do should I interview Jamie?
• 2:03:20
  SPEAKER_10: Go ahead.
• 2:03:21
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 2:03:22
  SPEAKER_05: So, like, I how did you, you know, we did the like we talked about me last time.
• 2:03:26
  SPEAKER_05: How did you get into pinball?
• 2:03:28
  SPEAKER_05: That's like the go-to question.
• 2:03:29
  SPEAKER_10: Like, how did you how did you get it trapped into this crazy hobby that we're John Spaits, my buddy at Eureka Heights, who runs the Eureka Heights, uh got me into it.
• 2:03:41
  SPEAKER_10: And about how long ago was that?
• 2:03:43
  SPEAKER_10: 2018.
• 2:03:45
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 2:03:46
  SPEAKER_10: So fairly new, fairly new.
• 2:03:47
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, not that long ago.
• 2:03:49
  SPEAKER_10: And I was already doing a soccer podcast.
• 2:03:52
  SPEAKER_10: So when we started the old joint, it really made sense because we were starting the stream, kind of showcasing the joint, and then John's like, you just need to podcast, and then that's when it kind of really took off from me.
• 2:04:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's cool.
• 2:04:07
  SPEAKER_05: So did you play pinball like as a kid?
• 2:04:10
  SPEAKER_05: Before that, before you really got into it?
• 2:04:12
  SPEAKER_10: Not as much.
• 2:04:13
  SPEAKER_10: I was a video game nerd, you know, with the consoles.
• 2:04:16
  SPEAKER_10: I was a big console nerd, and uh and I would go, I would go when I was 16, I moved to Florida, and Orlando had a huge arcade attached to the contemporary mall.
• 2:04:31
  SPEAKER_10: Contemporary hotel, excuse me.
• 2:04:33
  SPEAKER_10: Yes, at Disney.
• 2:04:35
  SPEAKER_10: Do you remember the hotel, the the fucking Monero store?
• 2:04:39
  SPEAKER_05: It was like always a childhood dream of mine to stay there, and so we just did it in 2023, 24.
• 2:04:45
  SPEAKER_05: Because I wanted to go around.
• 2:04:47
  SPEAKER_05: You might be able to tell that I'm a fan of Tron.
• 2:04:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 2:04:49
  SPEAKER_05: They opened the Tron Coaster.
• 2:04:51
  SPEAKER_10: Tron coaster.
• 2:04:52
  SPEAKER_05: And I was like, COVID was over.
• 2:04:54
  SPEAKER_05: I was like, we're going to ride the Tron Coaster.
• 2:04:56
  SPEAKER_05: And I was like, we're gonna stay in the contemporary hotel because I've always wanted to stay there because you can ride the the monorail, monorail, all that, and they still have an arcade there.
• 2:05:03
  SPEAKER_05: And I put up a high score on uh Guardians of the Galaxy, and one of my local buddies went down there and he's like, Is this your initials?
• 2:05:10
  SPEAKER_05: And he like stayed in the arcade for like hours trying to beat it, and he eventually got me.
• 2:05:15
  SPEAKER_05: So I absolutely love that.
• 2:05:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I love that.
• 2:05:17
  SPEAKER_05: So I tagged the machine.
• 2:05:18
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, when I was 16, I moved, and that was the place that we had an annual pass for Disney.
• 2:05:26
  SPEAKER_10: If you were a local resident, you can get an annual pass.
• 2:05:30
  SPEAKER_10: It was like 400 bucks, right?
• 2:05:31
  SPEAKER_10: Which crazy not bad in 90.
• 2:05:36
  SPEAKER_10: And so my parents would drop my ass off at the contemporary, and that's it.
• 2:05:39
  SPEAKER_10: My brother and I just played and I played pinball a little, but they had like a shooting arcade on that arcade.
• 2:05:46
  SPEAKER_10: They had everything.
• 2:05:47
  SPEAKER_10: It was the Contemporary Hotel arcade.
• 2:05:50
  SPEAKER_10: I don't remember the name of it.
• 2:05:51
  SPEAKER_10: It's just awesome.
• 2:05:52
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there is a there is a lot of crossover between video games and arcade and pinball.
• 2:05:57
  SPEAKER_05: I I grew up like my dad was into pinball, and that's he like, you know, we would go to the arcades and we would play both arcade games and pinball.
• 2:06:05
  SPEAKER_05: I had to home consoles and all that, and what hooked me, what hooked me was the pinball arcade game.
• 2:06:12
  SPEAKER_05: Because so the video game version of like the real machines.
• 2:06:15
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it would it they would and I was like in the mode where I was like addicted to getting the gamer score and the achievements on the Xbox.
• 2:06:22
  SPEAKER_05: And to get the achievements, it would step by step tell you, okay, on uh Space Shuttle, if you want to get like the 8X bonus, here's what you have to spell USA, you know, whatever many number of times it was.
• 2:06:36
  SPEAKER_05: I was like, oh, or if you want to get the spinner value up, here's how you do it.
• 2:06:39
  SPEAKER_05: And he would walk you through step by step, shoot this, and it would show you an arrow.
• 2:06:42
  SPEAKER_05: I was like, oh man, there's like all this stuff to do in these spinball machines.
• 2:06:45
  SPEAKER_05: And then the the more the like 90s games, there's a wizard mode.
• 2:06:49
  SPEAKER_05: So that felt yeah to me like you were progressing through a video game.
• 2:06:51
  SPEAKER_05: You're like, oh, if I beat these levels, I can get to the final boss and beat it.
• 2:06:55
  SPEAKER_05: And that was like that was the light bulb moment for me.
• 2:06:57
  SPEAKER_10: That was my light bulb moment.
• 2:06:58
  SPEAKER_10: John was standing over and I was playing World Cup soccer, and I'm just shooting goals, right?
• 2:07:03
  SPEAKER_10: And he goes, Hey, dude, you gotta build your cities.
• 2:07:07
  SPEAKER_10: Come here, let me show you this.
• 2:07:09
  SPEAKER_10: He goes, You see that word build?
• 2:07:11
  SPEAKER_10: I'm like, Yeah, he's like, that's important.
• 2:07:14
  SPEAKER_10: Let's hit that.
• 2:07:16
  SPEAKER_10: And he just stood next to me, and then I went, Oh, that was it.
• 2:07:19
  SPEAKER_10: That was I was absolutely hooked in 2018 from him just teaching me that there's a method to this madness, it's not keeping the ball alive, and that was it.
• 2:07:29
  SPEAKER_10: I was screwed.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and then then from there, the like the world opens up.
• 2:07:34
  SPEAKER_05: You're like, oh man, every one of these machines has different rules that I can learn.
• 2:07:38
  SPEAKER_05: And I know.
• 2:07:40
  SPEAKER_05: And then you're like, oh, the I see the the tournament players doing these crazy like flipper skills and stuff.
• 2:07:44
  SPEAKER_05: I need to learn how to do that.
• 2:07:46
  SPEAKER_05: And then I went down a I need to play competitively, and I I need to tell everybody I know about how awesome this is.
• 2:07:52
  SPEAKER_05: And that's uh that's how it gets you get crazy into doing podcasts and stuff.

• 2:10:59
  SPEAKER_10: Here, I'll move for you.
• 2:11:00
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, if you don't if you can do it, I have no idea how to do that.
• 2:11:03
  SPEAKER_14: Now this way you want to.
• 2:11:04
  SPEAKER_14: How are we doing?

  SPEAKER_10: You're the moment.
• 2:11:21
  SPEAKER_05: I got one if you want to go first.
• 2:11:24
  SPEAKER_05: I got a thing.
• 2:11:24
  SPEAKER_05: So it's very it you you said for me.
• 2:11:28
  SPEAKER_05: So for me, it was getting to be the guy in the Dungeon Crawler Carl video playing the game.
• 2:11:34
  SPEAKER_05: And they showed it at uh San Diego Comic Con.
• 2:11:37
  SPEAKER_05: So like I'm on the screen at San Diego Comic Con.
• 2:11:41
  SPEAKER_10: Pretty bad.
• 2:11:42
  SPEAKER_05: Playing Dungeon Crawler Carl pinball.
• 2:11:44
  SPEAKER_05: Like, who would have thought, right?
• 2:11:45
  SPEAKER_05: So I I don't think I could top that for a personal moments for me.
• 2:11:48
  SPEAKER_10: No.
• 2:11:49
  SPEAKER_10: That's a that's a big pinball moment.
• 2:11:51
  SPEAKER_10: See?
• 2:11:51
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 2:11:52
  SPEAKER_10: Joe, what do you got?
• 2:11:54
  SPEAKER_14: I mean I honestly just expo just happened, and maybe it's just recency bias, but The whole expo was so overwhelming, and I got to experience it with a very good friend of mine who I'd not seen in a very uh he I'd actually last time I went on a trip with him, it was to Pinburg, and uh we had kept in touch a little bit, but we hadn't really hung out a lot for the past 10-12 years.
• 2:12:18
  SPEAKER_14: And just out of the blue, he had his birthday, his 40th birthday, and I went to his 40th birthday, and we reconnected.
• 2:12:23
  SPEAKER_14: I was like, you know what?
• 2:12:24
  SPEAKER_14: Let's go on another pinball trip.
• 2:12:26
  SPEAKER_14: And we went to Expo.
• 2:12:27
  SPEAKER_14: And so that in particular was a really special moment for me and a friend of mine who's not really into pinball per se, he's into kind of more retro gaming and um consoles and arcade stuff.
• 2:12:38
  SPEAKER_14: But just and again, I kind of told him, like, look, trust me, like, I I I don't know anybody here, but like people are gonna come up, and I'm I want you to meet my friends here who I've met over the many years, and it was kind of an amazing moment every single time just introducing my friend to person X, Y, and Z, who I'd met uh through the many years that I've been in the pinball hobby, and it was just really wonderful to see how welcoming and uh just one embrace my friend and how they uh literally connected with him immediately, and just it showed just goes to show how wonderful a community that we've built and we have in the pinball community.
• 2:13:14
  SPEAKER_14: And it really touched me a lot, honestly, just seeing how my friend connected with these with my friends, and and it was just like, oh yeah, you're one of us.
• 2:13:21
  SPEAKER_14: Like we we embrace you immediately.
• 2:13:23
  SPEAKER_14: And that was like my probably my favorite part of Expo, amongst many other parts.
• 2:13:28
  SPEAKER_14: Uh, but I think that's probably my like honestly, it was a personal highlight for me.
• 2:13:32
  SPEAKER_14: And we know we we stayed up way too late every night watching bad movies.
• 2:13:37
  SPEAKER_14: We should have been sleeping.
• 2:13:38
  SPEAKER_14: We were watching terrible films like Life Force.
• 2:13:41
  SPEAKER_14: I don't know if you've ever seen the movie, uh, the 80s film Life Force, really insanely bad movie directed by Toby Hooper.
• 2:13:46
  SPEAKER_14: We're both film guys, we we knew each other from film school, and um just like he was at the end on the last night, he was doing these AI uh uh tributes to me and how insane I was, like these audio like songs about how I was like uh mistreated at work, but then when my job like this is totally fictional, there's not this is not something that happened in real life, but apparently in this weird alternate AI world, I was a loner, nobody, and nobody respected me at work.
• 2:14:13
  SPEAKER_14: But then when my employer brought in a pinball machine, I showed everyone how to beat them in pinball, and they all gained an insane amount of respect for me.
• 2:14:21
  SPEAKER_14: Again, totally would never happen in real life.
• 2:14:23
  SPEAKER_14: No one would ever gain respect from an employee, a fellow coworker because they played pinball well.
• 2:14:29
  SPEAKER_14: They would just be like, huh, okay, cool.
• 2:14:32
  SPEAKER_14: You got a high score, cool.
• 2:14:33
  SPEAKER_14: That's that's literally that's literally all people would do in real life.
• 2:14:36
  SPEAKER_14: But he did, he kept on and he made a country song, he made like a Daft Punk song, and he I I'm begging him to stop, but he just couldn't stop making these AI videos that were just generated and literally like uh no songs, not videos, audio.
• 2:14:51
  SPEAKER_14: I mean, like, like we were doing this like five o'clock in the morning and like and on Saturday night of expo.
• 2:14:56
  SPEAKER_14: We're dead tired, and we're just in the hotel room just just doing goofy stuff like that.
• 2:15:00
  SPEAKER_14: And he's a dear friend, my friend Jeff.
• 2:15:02
  SPEAKER_14: Um, and maybe I'll see him again in the next expo.
• 2:15:05
  SPEAKER_14: That's right.
• 2:15:06
  SPEAKER_10: I get a chance to meet him.
• 2:15:07
  SPEAKER_10: Great, dude.
• 2:15:08
  SPEAKER_10: Correct.
• 2:15:08
  SPEAKER_10: Welcome to the crazy community.
• 2:15:10
  SPEAKER_10: Well, what I would tell you is it's a cold.
• 2:15:14
  unknown: Okay.
• 2:15:14
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm trying to lure him in a little bit, you know, with like the all the different things.
• 2:15:19
  SPEAKER_14: And uh, you know, it's we'll see.
• 2:15:20
  SPEAKER_14: We'll see how it goes.
• 2:15:21
  SPEAKER_14: Take it easy, man.
• 2:15:22
  SPEAKER_10: Take it easy.
• 2:15:23
  SPEAKER_14: No, no, I'm not gonna, I'm doing the soft sell.
• 2:15:24
  SPEAKER_14: I'm doing the soft sell.
• 2:15:25
  SPEAKER_10: All right, but it's like you soft sell anything, Joe, to be honest with you.
• 2:15:29
  SPEAKER_05: No, I don't think it's capable of doing that.
• 2:15:31
  SPEAKER_05: I don't think it's tough.
• 2:15:32
  SPEAKER_10: I think you're a chip all in kind of guy.
• 2:15:35
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:15:36
  SPEAKER_05: Can I can I I'm gonna throw in a non-pinball moment of 2026.
• 2:15:39
  SPEAKER_05: It was fascination at Darien Lake with Joe Cherovino.
• 2:15:43
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's incredible.
• 2:15:44
  SPEAKER_05: Have you ever played Fascination, Jamie?
• 2:15:47
  SPEAKER_05: So it's like kind of like bingo, you're rolling balls down an alley and it's electromechanical.
• 2:15:54
  SPEAKER_05: It's uh and they got they fall in the hole, the balls fall in the holes, and you're trying to get a line.
• 2:15:59
  SPEAKER_05: And it's like stupid, easy, simple, basically gambling, but it's so much fun.
• 2:16:05
  SPEAKER_14: Kevin was crushing it.
• 2:16:07
  SPEAKER_14: Kevin won like at least a dozen tickets like uh for every single win.
• 2:16:12
  SPEAKER_14: Like I maybe won two, three tickets uh for winning.
• 2:16:15
  SPEAKER_14: And it's so good.
• 2:16:16
  SPEAKER_14: It's literally like skee ball meets uh bingo, yeah, like like electromechanical bingo.
• 2:16:21
  SPEAKER_14: And it's just that slight because the ball that you throw is so bouncy and it bounces everywhere that even if you're trying to throw it at a specific spot, it's just the illusion of of skill, kind of like pinball.
• 2:16:33
  SPEAKER_14: It's like you kind of have the illusion of skill where you're like, Yeah, I was going for that.
• 2:16:37
  SPEAKER_14: That's right.
• 2:16:38
  SPEAKER_14: And uh it's it's so insane.
• 2:16:40
  SPEAKER_14: I loved it.
• 2:16:40
  SPEAKER_14: I was I'm an absolute fascination freak.
• 2:16:42
  SPEAKER_14: Thanks to Kevin.
• 2:16:44
  SPEAKER_14: And uh thank you.
• 2:16:44
  SPEAKER_14: I'm glad we were this year.
• 2:16:46
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, it was a great whole day at Darien Lake up in uh uh western New York.
• 2:16:50
  SPEAKER_14: It's uh awesome time.
• 2:16:51
  SPEAKER_14: We had a video of that online.
• 2:16:54
  SPEAKER_14: Uh I can throw it online, sure.
• 2:16:57
  SPEAKER_05: There are videos of people playing fascination on YouTube if anybody wants to watch it.
• 2:17:00
  SPEAKER_05: Just google it.
• 2:17:01
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:17:03
  SPEAKER_10: You guys are roller coaster nuts, huh?
• 2:17:06
  SPEAKER_14: I'm I'm definitely falling into it in the last two years.
• 2:17:08
  SPEAKER_14: Uh Kevin's always Kevin worked at Darien Lake for like a decade.
• 2:17:12
  SPEAKER_14: How long have you been?
• 2:17:13
  SPEAKER_05: I worked in the arcades, like that going back to our arcade routes.
• 2:17:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I was like, well, I lived nearby, and it's if you've ever been there, it's like out in the middle of nowhere.
• 2:17:21
  SPEAKER_05: So when you live out here, it's basically when you're a teenager, that's where you work.
• 2:17:25
  SPEAKER_05: So I'd ride my bike there, and I was like, of course I'm gonna work in the arcades because I love video games.
• 2:17:30
  SPEAKER_05: So it was totally like chill, and you know, I got to you know, put in refunds and play a couple games.
• 2:17:37
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, I had to give this kid a refund, so I'd play a game on Mortal Kombat, and you know not a bad gig.
• 2:17:43
  SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
• 2:17:44
  SPEAKER_14: Man, a kid in a candy store, working at the candy store.
• 2:17:47
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, that's a dream job.
• 2:17:49
  SPEAKER_05: Joe has gotten way as much as he is into pinball, he is as into roller coasters, like he knows all the manufacturers and the different turns and the thing.
• 2:17:58
  SPEAKER_05: I I'm a very candidate.
• 2:17:59
  SPEAKER_05: We call them elements.
• 2:18:00
  SPEAKER_14: Sorry, sorry, we call them elements.
• 2:18:02
  SPEAKER_14: See, exactly.
• 2:18:03
  SPEAKER_14: And the element is not a loop-de-loop, it's a vertical loop, okay?
• 2:18:08
  SPEAKER_14: You people just kidding.
• 2:18:10
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 2:18:10
  SPEAKER_10: Are you gonna start a podcast of roller?
• 2:18:14
  SPEAKER_14: There's got a YouTube channel.
• 2:18:15
  SPEAKER_14: He's got a YouTube channel.
• 2:18:16
  SPEAKER_14: Uh I'm doing some just POV.
• 2:18:18
  SPEAKER_14: I bought MetaGlass.
• 2:18:19
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, I'm I'm not a creep.
• 2:18:20
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, I did buy the meta classes, but as Kevin will say, it's creepy.
• 2:18:25
  SPEAKER_14: It's really weird and creepy.
• 2:18:26
  SPEAKER_14: It is, and so I only use them for three things.
• 2:18:28
  SPEAKER_14: I use them for uh POV shots of videos of riding roller coasters because you're literally on some of the more intense rides, you can't wear bring anything, like no GoPros, no cell phones, nothing.
• 2:18:38
  SPEAKER_14: So you they let you wear your glasses because they can't let you not wear your glasses.
• 2:18:42
  SPEAKER_14: So if you got meta glasses, they'll let you on.
• 2:18:44
  SPEAKER_14: So I do that for um uh roller coasters, pinball.
• 2:18:47
  SPEAKER_14: So I'm doing also of like videos of POV of me playing very poorly at pinball, and luckily m most of my ball times don't last more than three minutes because you can only record for three minutes at a time.
• 2:18:56
  SPEAKER_14: So that works out pretty good as not being a very good pinball player.
• 2:19:00
  SPEAKER_14: Um, and then also just food.
• 2:19:02
  SPEAKER_14: I'm doing really weird um food uh reviews where like it's like a P of POV of me eating a hamburger and just like the hamburger going into the the camera.
• 2:19:12
  SPEAKER_14: So I don't know if anybody's doing that yet, but I'm kind of trying to pioneer that space of like POV food review.
• 2:19:18
  SPEAKER_14: What a trailblazer.
• 2:19:20
  SPEAKER_14: What a trailblazer.
• 2:19:22
  SPEAKER_14: It it may be absolutely disgusting, but then again, a lot of food review, like mukbang and stuff like that, is pretty disgusting.
• 2:19:29
  SPEAKER_05: If those can record in like stereoscopic vision, and then I can watch it in VR.
• 2:19:33
  SPEAKER_05: VR?
• 2:19:34
  SPEAKER_05: It's like I am Joe Cheravino eating the cheeseburger.
• 2:19:36
  SPEAKER_05: What a nightmare.
• 2:19:37
  SPEAKER_05: What a nightmare.
• 2:19:39
  SPEAKER_05: I love it.

  SPEAKER_14: Kevin was very gracious to let me go into the box um hotel seats.

  SPEAKER_14: It's the only stadium in the world, baseball stadium, that has a hotel built into the stadium where you can actually watch the game from the hotel room.
• 2:20:13
  SPEAKER_14: It's insane from the outfield.
• 2:20:15
  SPEAKER_14: And uh that was that was such an awesome experience.

  SPEAKER_11: I I I needed that little break, I feel like.
• 2:22:56
  SPEAKER_11: The whole like leading up to opening the arcade, then open and the arcade being so busy and everything.
• 2:23:03
  SPEAKER_11: I was like, okay, I need to scale back, focus on the arcade, and then get back into the swinging.
• 2:23:09
  SPEAKER_10: So you're swinging.
• 2:23:11
  SPEAKER_10: You're swinging.

• 2:23:16
  SPEAKER_11: Wonderful.
• 2:23:16
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it's it's still you know almost two years now, which is crazy.
• 2:23:20
  SPEAKER_11: We're getting pretty close.
• 2:23:22
  SPEAKER_11: And people still love the space, still coming out, dropping quarters, having a good time.
• 2:23:28
  SPEAKER_11: Uh I'm picking up machines all the time.
• 2:23:31
  SPEAKER_11: It's wonderful.
• 2:23:33
  SPEAKER_11: And thank you to Rachel and Kit, by the way.

  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, well they they wanted me to they're they're the absolute best, and they wanted me to give you uh a quick shout out, Kale.
• 2:23:43
  SPEAKER_10: Okay Rachel had to run to the arcade because there was a power outage.
• 2:23:46
  SPEAKER_10: So I mean, these things never end for you guys, does it?
• 2:23:50
  SPEAKER_11: We have a lot of power outages here in Kosh Crove on Main Street, and it's really annoying.
• 2:23:55
  SPEAKER_11: It's not as bad if the arcade's not open, but like these machines are sensitive to these things.
• 2:24:00
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 2:24:01
  SPEAKER_11: So it's a little scary when we get power outages, because I'm like, okay, what machine is gonna not like this?
• 2:24:06
  SPEAKER_11: Um and then you gotta reset all the TVs and like it's a whole thing.
• 2:24:10
  SPEAKER_10: It's a whole all your leaderboards, all that crap.
• 2:24:14
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:24:15
  SPEAKER_10: So uh I'm asking people a question, and it is what is their favorite pinball moment of 2026?
• 2:24:23
  SPEAKER_10: But uh with you, I kind of want to change it up a little, but I don't, you know, uh but I mean this is like a dream come true for you.
• 2:24:34
  SPEAKER_10: Two years in, is it is there anything that you didn't anticipate?
• 2:24:39
  SPEAKER_10: Because you are an organized human being getting to know you.
• 2:24:44
  SPEAKER_10: Was there something that you didn't anticipate you didn't see coming?
• 2:24:49
  SPEAKER_03: Whether it be a positive or a negative.
• 2:24:52
  SPEAKER_11: Um that's tough.
• 2:24:55
  SPEAKER_11: No, I feel like I, you know, I spent so much time thinking about all the possibilities.
• 2:25:01
  SPEAKER_11: Like, I I feel like I went into it pretty eyes wide open.
• 2:25:07
  SPEAKER_11: Um I think you know, you get a lot of looky moves.
• 2:25:11
  SPEAKER_11: That's one thing I didn't quite prepare.
• 2:25:12
  SPEAKER_11: Like, a lot of people come in here and they're like, oh my god, and they give you some long story about how much they love the machines and stuff like that, and they'll talk to you for a long time, and then they leave without playing the game.
• 2:25:24
  SPEAKER_11: That that's been an interesting dynamic.
• 2:25:26
  SPEAKER_11: That happens like every day.
• 2:25:28
  SPEAKER_11: People come in and they're just like blown away that we have altered beast or whatever it is.
• 2:25:33
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, and they'll tell you about like the summer of 89 when they played that every day for the entire summer, and it was the best moments of their life.
• 2:25:42
  SPEAKER_11: And if they could only relive it for one more time, it would make them so happy, and they happen to have a quarter in their pocket.
• 2:25:48
  SPEAKER_11: And if only they can relive that, and then they say, Have a nice day, and then you never see them again.
• 2:25:52
  SPEAKER_11: And they don't play?
• 2:25:53
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, they don't play.
• 2:25:54
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, that's been a really interesting dynamic.
• 2:25:57
  SPEAKER_11: So I'm gonna do that.
• 2:25:57
  SPEAKER_11: I wonder how you charge someone.
• 2:25:59
  SPEAKER_10: What do we do with those guys in cows?
• 2:26:01
  SPEAKER_11: I call it doing the thing.
• 2:26:04
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I mean, we gotta come on, people, you can't just go in there and browse.
• 2:26:10
  SPEAKER_10: Put a quarter in.
• 2:26:11
  SPEAKER_11: You know, it's fine to like come in and like look and like, oh, this is cool, but but like when you tell me like a story like that and then you don't play it, I I I wonder about you.
• 2:26:22
  SPEAKER_11: Like, what's happening here?
• 2:26:23
  SPEAKER_11: What do you do?
• 2:26:24
  SPEAKER_11: What is going on?
• 2:26:25
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 2:26:26
  SPEAKER_11: But overall, no, it's been such a blessing, arcade.
• 2:26:30
  SPEAKER_11: So, like, I I can't say there's anything that's really surprised me or like it it's well actually the there.
• 2:26:37
  SPEAKER_11: That's what it is.
• 2:26:38
  SPEAKER_11: Like the community around it, like arcade family.
• 2:26:41
  SPEAKER_11: That's been a you know, people helping me with just uh every day.
• 2:26:47
  SPEAKER_11: I just talked about this in a video the other day where I was I got this vending machine on the mountain and my buddy Terraman, T, he's a stone trick.
• 2:26:59
  SPEAKER_11: And I was having a hard time because this building's 114 years old, mounting it to this like it's stucco with brick behind it, and it's uneven.
• 2:27:08
  SPEAKER_11: And it was a nightmare for me to try to mount this thing to the wall.
• 2:27:12
  SPEAKER_11: Um, and he came in and he's like, we got this, so he's he just did it.
• 2:27:16
  SPEAKER_11: You know, it's not doesn't want money or anything, he just wanted to help and it took a long time.
• 2:27:21
  SPEAKER_11: It's like a big project.
• 2:27:23
  SPEAKER_10: They will come.
• 2:27:24
  SPEAKER_10: And they have come to your spot, and you have really built a destination arcade.
• 2:27:32
  SPEAKER_10: And that's when we were talking about arcades across America when we we first started Arcades Across America.
• 2:27:37
  SPEAKER_10: Our your goal was to be a destination arcade, and I think you did it.
• 2:27:41
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:27:42
  SPEAKER_11: No, I well, you know, I care so much about arcades and arcade culture, and like doing it the way in my mind is the right way, which is like an old school experience, but like creating more than just throwing machines and building.
• 2:27:56
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it's it's it's in a whole package.
• 2:27:59
  SPEAKER_11: And I will I I felt strongly that if I did it the way that I felt it needed to be done, and that people would come.
• 2:28:06
  SPEAKER_11: And they they trap like uh California, Arizona, Washington.
• 2:28:10
  SPEAKER_11: Love it.

• 2:28:41
  SPEAKER_10: I didn't know if I wanted to go through building a channel again, and I did it, and it's been really fantastic.
• 2:28:47
  SPEAKER_10: And it's people like you that have always supported me that I just wanted to take a minute to thank you, you know, and and we'll do it in arcades across America in 2027.

  SPEAKER_10: So we gotta really, really, really use hand sanitizer in 2027.
• 2:30:02
  SPEAKER_11: There's something that I can be surprised.
• 2:30:05
  SPEAKER_11: It's like the amount of germs that come through the arcade.
• 2:30:07
