Ep.56 Which 5 Machines For 15K In A New Collection? Feb 02, 2020

Show notes

In Ep 56 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast Matt & Jason get the bright idea it would be fun to record a podcast after a night of dinner and a few (too many) adult beverages. Fun? Heck yeah. Good idea? Let's just say, it doesn't go as smoothly as planned.

We tackle a tough pinball dilema. You have 15K and have to start a new collection of 5 machines. What would you choose? We give our plan of attack. We also partake in Flip Bolt or Torch 1991 edition, which come to find out, is one of the worst years in pinball manufacturing! We also discuss an odd smell that Matt claims has a specific origin, but Jason is convinced is just trapped in his nostrils from elsewhere. We also briefly touch on the Stern announcement of Iron Maiden, err Iron MAN Pro double Vault edition and the video released by Spooky showing Rick & Morty's **GASP**, being assembled and SHIPPING! Cindy sits in for a few to laugh at us at our worst! Thanks for joining us, and feel free to reach out.

**Disclaimer: Neither Matt nor Jason condone or advocate the abuse of alcohol. If you drink, get a designated driver. Avoid urinals.**

Ep. 55 Slap Save Interviews Stern's Mike Vinikour Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

In episode 55 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Jason interviews Stern Associate Game Developer, jack of all trades and all around nice guy, Mike Vinikour. We talk Stranger Things, a day in the life of a Stern employee, the respect he has for his fellow team members, great (and not so great) things about the hobby, and his bucket list. Thanks for listening! Now more than ever, be kind to each other. It seems it takes more effort to be a villain than it does to be a decent human being, but some enjoy the work.

Ep. 48 Overcooked Phoenix for Thanksgiving! Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

In Ep 48 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Matt and Jason saddle up again after a hiatus. We talk JP, Deep Root reveals, hatred of other people's games, moving behemoth machines, middle aged guys running through airports, AND we discuss things we are thankful for because.... Thanksgiving.

Thanks for being patient while we did some soul searching in Tibet. The monk there insisted we dive back in because we were a lost cause otherwise. Screw you Bob. Your mysticism was a farce and we want our money back or I'm gonna skewer you on Yelp.

Ep 47 The one NIB Pin we would pick right now. The 10K NIB Challenge! Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

In episode 47 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Jason and Matt pick THE pinball machine that would earn their money right meow, well, actually uncle Larry's money, but whatever. Jason has a few drinks while editing and decides to throw in a new intro, we talk unintentional Stay Puft Marshmallow costumes, subliminal appendages planted in our art, fat Thors, pickles (actually, there are no pickles, that's a lie fueled by scotch) and MORE!! Much, much more. What NIB would you buy if money were no object? Let us know!

We didn't prepare and it is a travesty of podcasting. Don't listen. Really. For the love of pasta, don't do it.

Thanks for joining us! The stream is on hiatus. Sorry. Life. We will get to it eventually. Maybe.
