That's right everyone - we're leading up to the 2024 Louisville Arcade Expo and Brent sits in with showrunners Corey Stup and Joe Stith to talk all things LAX 2024!  Follow along to hear updates on the show's evolution, what to expect from this year, special guests, pinball tournaments, vendors and more!

January 2024 We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday break and the new year is off to a good start.  We find ourselves at the beginning of 2024 and we’re proud to feature the last installment of our 3-part interview series with David Crane, Dan Kitchen and Garry Kitchen where, over the course of three inter-connected interviews, we explore: * Part 1 – Atari and the Activision years (audio in episode 114) * Part 2 – the Absolute Entertainment years (audio in episode 115) *...

October 2023 The time has drawn nigh – so much so that Brent goes solo on this episode so we can keep the train rolling.  We cover some short updates, discuss our upcoming visit to the Music City Multicon and then get straight to the heart of the matter – the second installment of the 3-part panel series from the 2022 show featuring David Crane, Dan Kitchen and Garry Kitchen where, over the course of three inter-connected interviews, we explore: * Part 1 – Atari and the Activision years...

July 2023 Summer here in KY marches on and we are finally able to get the July show out to everyone… in August. 🙂  Family and other commitments have to be juggled, but we’re here and we’re bringing the heat (bad pun, good use) for this episode, and we think you’ll feel the same. First up we delve into project updates, some new Pinball news with Stern announcing Venom, the triumphant return of “Spend Brent’s Money” with some new soldering aid and general board repair tools and some...

It's July 4th here in the States and we're celebrating the fireworks and grilling with some arcade, gaming and pinball talk.  We catch up on happenings since the 2023 Louisville Arcade Expo, discuss some game rotations and sales (14 games sold between the two of us!!), fix-up project status and some side-talk on 3D printing, MiSTer and the BitKit FPGA boards, tips on shopping a pinball (Brent has been tutoring the next generation) and the elusive hunt for "all the cabarets".   And yes,...

Thanksgiving? √ Christmas? √ New Years? √ Valentines Day? √ Now that we’ve covered all the bases, it’s time to get back to business and talk about some sweet arcade and pinball action.  We’re honored to feature the Louisville Arcade Expo’s own Corey Stup and Joe Stith as they sit in with us to talk about one of our favorite times of the year!  The expo returns March 10th-12th 2023 and we’ll be talking about all the fun events, games and special guests that will be at the show! We...

We trust that November (and Thanksgiving for those that observe it) has treated everyone well.  We're talking project updates, non-updates, travel tools, some arcades that Brent visited on his recent trip to Gatlinburg TN and more. To round out the crazy, the podcast was on the road in October at the Music City Multi-Con and we feature our fist in a series of panel recordings from the show.  This month we're featuring the "late night free-for-all" billed as "Podcasters Unhinged - Episode...

Let's call this one the "After Summer Hiatus 2022 show" :) We're back in the studio after a rather impromptu break over the Summer and catching up on life, projects, more life and toss in some arcade and pinball talk along the way.  Here’s a quick rundown on everything we talk about on the show: *Brent fixes more games *Travel tool pack update - the Milwaukee Packout *Spinrite and hard drive recovery for arcade games *The Retro Chip Tester Pro *Whitney sells some games and picks...

Let's call this one the "Before Summer 2022 Hiatus" show :) Yep, we admit it - the summer got away from us and we didn't get this episode out nearly as quickly as intended.  This one has been "in the can" for a couple of months, and we'll let you decide if we brought any heat... (insert wah wah sound here).  We cover a host of topics from microscopes to power supplies to Rally-X and Toy Story 4 from JJP. Even though the pinball reveal is old news at this point, I don't think our...

It’s the Saturday night livestream show from the 2022 Louisville Arcade Expo and we’re doubling-down on the heat for this episode!

Happy Father's Day to all the Arcade and Pinball Dads out there! We are back with the Friday night livestream show straight from the floor of the 2022 Louisville Arcade Expo!  We've got an almost solid 4 hours of guests, banter and irreverent discussion on all things arcade, pinball, pop culture and whatever else came to mind that night! We had the good fortune of some good friends of the show stopping by (Mike drove all the way from NEW HAMPSHIRE - 22 hours!!) to sit in and make the...

It's the (hopeful) end of Winter weather here in the Bluegrass and that means the expo circuit is right around the corner.  In that vein, we feature a discussion about the upcoming 2022 Louisville Arcade Expo with organizers Corey Stup and Joe Stith and get amped up for the show - especially coming off of a two-year hiatus!  In addition, we review our gaming, pinball and hobby-related activities for the last month (Brent works on his Championship Sprint, Carnival King and his Tron dies)...

Just what does a Super Hero eat in-between rounds with Doc Ock, Electro and the rest of the Sinister Six?  I'm not sure we have a good answer for you, but we go there anyway.  This month we do an "accidental" fly-by on Spider Man: No Way Home while we discuss some of our monthly updates and happenings in this cold and icy winter of 2022.   Brent updates us on his quest for the perfect tool bag and carry solution, discusses some work he's doing to a Carnival King, finishes up his...

Just in the nick of time, we cross the finish line to round out 2021 and discuss what the past several months has been like for us here at the show. As you know by now, we took a 3-month hiatus and we discuss that happening and what transpired that necessitated the break.  Thanks to everyone who noticed the break, reached out and asked if we were OK - we appreciate each and every one of you! This episode is dedicated to Whitney's father, Housecat. Words will never be enough, but may the...

Summer starts to draw to a close and we often find ourselves asking "just where did that time go?"  We'll discuss that topic on the show and detail what we wound up doing with our time through August 2021.  We'll detail some summer vacation travel (and finally playing some new pinball) along with some game repairs (Zookeeper...Zookeeper... Zookeeper anyone!?!) along with Brent working on his Nintendo VS. cabinet and a new Championship Sprint project.  We revisit the Multi-Pac topic with an...

It has finally happened – the BIG 100!  Yes – after almost eight (8!!!) years of classic arcade and pinball goodness, we’ve hit a podcasting milestone and we are so glad to be able to share this very special episode with our listener family.   This episode is a bit of a break from the norm – in that after our gameroom and hobby updates (which are brief this time around) we jump straight into the heart of the show and reminisce a good bit about the past 8 years under the umbrella of the BT...

April 2021 Unfortunately Hank Hill DOES NOT make a guest appearance this month, but we’ll channel our best stand-in (and we do it a few times, actually) to help us get down to the business at hand – talking all about those sweet arcades and pinballs.  In fact, we even cover off on some arcade and arcade-related accessories (I had to say it) as we go.  Here’s just a few of the topics we stand in front of the fence and talk about this month: * Brent recounts numerous fixes done to...

March 2021 We’ve gone and done it and have ripped off the band-aid this episode by the both of us sharing a few of our “no regrets ragrets” moments from this path month…. in between our monthly updates and gameroom discussion we touched on many topics that had we stopped and pondered a bit, we might have had a moment of regret (buyers remorse, maybe??), but nah…. THERE ARE NO RAGRETS in this hobby! Over the course of this past month, we: * Sold some arcade games, sold some pins *...

It only took 97 episodes, but it finally happened. We were lured in by the promise "of the next pin" and Stern Pinball got us hook, line and sinker. SPOILER ALERT: It was actually just jigsaw puzzles.... *sigh* With that humble pie out of the way, we get on to the business of what was February (??) 2021. Brent finds his way to the game he never wanted - William's Make Trax and concludes the Rottondog saga of working on a High Speed. Whitney shares some lessons learned on nozzles...

Happy little podcasters is the theme of this month's show, especially with us being at MAXIMUM HOSTING POWER now that Whitney has recovered from COVID-19 and has returned to the podcasting studio. We catch up on what life has been like over the past month, hear Whitney's COVID chronicles and discuss some gameroom updates as well. Brent digs further into the console mountain, gifts Whitney an Atari 5200 and some games and then doubles-down in the Tempest coin bucket for some belated...
