Ep. 46 Expo 19 roundup featuring interviews with D Sullivan & K Gemnich Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

In episode 46 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast Matt and Jason discuss their experience at Pinball Expo 2019 and sit down for a great chat with Krystle Gemnich and Dwight Sullivan! We talk about our thoughts on the show, our itinerary, the fall of pinball, the stern tour, females in pinball, the fact that the JP art is "Crap" and not "Yeti," and even some banjos.

Sorry for the poor sound quality relative to our normal standards but it was recorded with a potato. I like potatoes.

Bonus Episode: Driving To Expo Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

**This episode is unedited and may contain mature content. Not sure.** In this bonus episode Matt and I randomly hit record and talk about what we are looking forward to this weekend at Chicago Expo while driving through the corn fields of central Illinois. The sound is bad, there is no editing, and there is no bells and whistles like Intros, Outros or sponsor ads. This is rough, unfiltered Slap Save. This was posted so quickly I can't guarantee that it is appropriate for all ages of ears. I honestly can't recall if we made sense even. Ha. Either way, we thought it would be fun.

Hope to see some of you at Expo! More to come!

Sorry for last weeks click bait. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have done that. It was a bad way to illustrate a point. My intentions were good. -Jason

Show notes

Ep. 44 Value In Pinball? Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

In a slightly shorter episode 44 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Jason talks about the elephant in the room. The value of pinball has always been questioned by outsiders. Recently, more and more have spoken out about a perceived lack of value in the machines that are being created. We dive in with our thoughts and possible repercussions if it continues.
