Salutations and tithings everyone, we trust that you are healthy, safe and ready to kick 2020 in the hiney to see it out proper. Speaking of "we" (as in not we, but he) Brent does this show solo (for reasons we'll get into in January) so please give him the virtual "hug" and let us know if you liked the focus on this month's show. It's clear that he has spent some serious time over the past several weeks going "console crazy" and he told me in discussion it was like climbing a mountain -...

We hope your Halloween pumpkins were stuffed to the brim this past month. To celebrate "All Hallows Eve" we go old school with a long(ish) episode this month and the all references on this show run as deep as they do wide. We'll leave it to you, our astute listener, to unpack everything and make sense of it all (pretty much the same as every other month). We dig into quite a few topics this show: Parts and tool storage solutions (summoning the inner ratchet strap on this...

As the "year of strange" marches on, we try to get back a sense of normalcy with this month's show and and spend some quality time with our listeners. To that end, we embark on our first ever "mailbag" show and respond to some long-waiting feedback and answer questions posted to both our Facebook page and our Twitter account. Somewhere along the line, we lost count as to just how many we read on-air (20?) and we've easily got that many still in queue for "mailbag vol. 2" so let us know if...

August 2020 - it took a lot from us. The news of losing both Chadwick Boseman and Curt Vendell hurt and hurt badly as their contributions to the collective community are as meaningful in both number as they are in prolific and lasting impact. With that, we reflect on the respective contributions from both and pay our due respects, then it's back to business as usual with gameroom updates, spend some of Brent's money, discuss the new Pixel Planet Arcade that is opening soon in TN and...

With continued unrest all around us and uncertainty at almost every corner, there are two things that we can count on to make the world a smaller (and better) place - our children and inclusivity. Both of those themes are front-and-center in this episode as we spend some good time listening to the “kids of the show” (Grace Roberts & Gareth Milwood) as they continue to grow up (way too fast, btw) and we get some fantastic insight from Elizabeth Gieske into women in pinball with a heavy...

It’s amazing what 6 weeks will do from a “perspective” perspective…when this was recorded, the nationwide COVID-19 response hadn’t even kicked into gear and we had no idea what was in store for us. It’s our hopes that if you weren’t able to join the live broadcast (or if you want to re-listen) then this (and the upcoming Saturday livestream show) will bring some cheer to your shelter-in-place regiment – whatever that may look like. On this episode, we had the distinct good fortune of...

February 2020 88 MPH...this is a once-in-a-podcast opportunity, and we're not going to waste it... so you (our beloved listeners) are squarely along for the ride! (see what we did there!?!) BTTF references aside (and trust us - we love them), there's right at 4 hours of podcasting goodness for you this month and we cover so many topics, we thought it best to just list them out for you straight away: Project tool storage IKEA furniture (another first for the show???)

It may be January here in the States, but the (NBA Jam) heat is on! We talk gameroom updates, Getaway restoration, metal aprons, art blades and get a visit from Joe Stith & Corey Stup @ The Louisville Arcade Expo, as it's the 10th anniversary show this year! We also "podcast after dark" with J. Patrick from Pod Casserole and Cale Hernandez from Marco Specialties. Yep - it's all in there.

December 2019 Here we are – at the end of another year and with that comes a bit of reflection and some looking forward to what we hope will be an excellent 2020.  We have a bit of a mash-up show this month as we draw December to a close – we square off on our monthly updates just as normal, but we then detour a bit and get right into what we think is some great “New Years Eve humor” courtesy of Cale Hernandez (of Marco Specialties) and Mike Vinikour (of Stern Pinball) as Brent and I had...

November 2019 It's time to officially kick off the 2019 Christmas Holiday season and there's no better way (that we know of) than to give all our listeners a whopping 5+ hours of "back in action" podcasting to chase off those holiday blues. Fair warning on this episode though - although Whitney is back in the studio with Brent this month and discusses his recent hiatus, it does tug on the heartstrings a bit in his update segment. Outside of that, it's everything you've come to know and...

It's a whole lotta September and little bit of October for this show! We have guest-host Jim Hale sitting in for Whitney this month and Brent drives the bus as they cover off on 10+ topics that range from thoughts on Stern's Jurassic Park & Elvira, the lament of Suncoast Pinball, the Pontiac Fiero catching fire, the new "Star Wars" Arcade 1Up machines and how cast changes to the Dukes of Hazzard scarred them both for life. All up, just another normal episode!

Ah August....we barely knew ye. There's so much that transpired this past month, it's hard to get it all in a blog post - fortunately for us (and to everyone else's dismay) we have 3 hours and 20 minutes to tell all you fine listeners all about it! If the math is right, that should be about 1.7 O'Shea Commutes. #WINNING All joking aside, we've got a pretty jam-packed episode for everyone - we discuss the latest play field clear coat issues that has taken the pinball internets by...
