Episode 124 – We’re Back and Soon to Be Better Than Before

Jess and Jeff are back together and have a new direction for the show…and we want your help and input! But first, hear us struggle through a few explanations and emotions. Thanks to all who supported both of us through the last couple of months of our ups and downs. It has meant a lot.

We need your help coming up with a new logo. With the new direction for the show, we’re looking to slightly rebrand, so help us out and we’ll reward you with CASH MONIES (actually gift cards, but whatever). Listen in for details.

Episode 123d – Pinburgh and Continuing Adventures Recap with Jimmy Nails and Secret Guest (It’s Bowen)

It’s a little later than other recaps, but this one is worth the wait! Jessica teams up with Jimmy Nails to recount their Pinburgh experience and the pinball road trip that followed to Chicago-area arcades, Stern Pinball, Spooky Pinball, and all sorts of little places in between. Bowen Kerins joins in to give some insight into how Pinburgh went for him as well, and there might be chickens. There are chickens.

Episode 123 – FedEx Freight Sucks

Sorry for the lame episode title, but a little negative SEO is about all I can do here…

Anyway, Jessica is down in Australia, but that doesn’t stop us from punching out another episode. We recap the Northwest and Denver shows, talk about some upcoming events, vent about the awful FedEx Freight ham handed delivery, and discuss other goings on in pinball. Oh, and face #4 is finally officially announced for Mount Plungemore.

Episode 120 – Let’s Chisel Faces in Mountains

Episode 120 is here, and we’re probably delving into something regrettable. After a bit of talk about what we’ve been up to, news, and super on topic banter, we introduce our “Mount Rushmore of Pinball” project. We’re looking to poll the pinball community and find out which four people in pinball history would deserve to be immortalized by having their faces carved in rock. After that, we’ll not carve rock, but maybe a t-shirt!

Here’s the link to vote on your nominees: https://goo.gl/forms/Cd3bZp1b99Z1nToG3

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Mt. Rushmore, President, Sculpture, Landmark, South Dakota
