  • Pitiful

    Just heard the episode with a message for Stern‘s marketing department, that is one of the most pitiful displays of self-control, entitlement, and selfishness that I’ve ever heard. To the genius that decided to rage that garbage onto a social media platform, I think you got your answer, as to why you weren’t invited. Self-absorbed, yes, self-aware, no.

    Sad

    Here’s a tip: if this hobby… And let’s keep in mind, this is a hobby… Makes you that unhappy, you should find a different hobby.

    He seems a little unhinged. Definitely entitled. It’s pinball man…maybe take a break. Hope you’re ok.

  • Profanity, drug talk, and lousy rep of pinball hobbyists

    When the one host brags about how wasted he and his wife got out at some bars and a restaurant, and then says they drove home, I was done. I’ve lost friends to drunk drivers; I don’t need to hear two middle-aged guys who ought to know better, bragging about and normalizing this kind of behavior.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PNP 671- Emily Reilhan: Women's World Champion
Q: How do you stay accurate across machines you've never played before?
Her long history with pinball provides base knowledge, plus she studies each machine to learn its unique rules, with improved recovery and consistency from experience across many titles.
PNP 671- Emily Reilhan: Women's World Champion
Q: What changes in the last year helped you reach this level?
A combination of recovering post-COVID, re-engaging with the league, and a breakthrough performance at a larger tournament that showed she could compete with top players.
PNP 671- Emily Reilhan: Women's World Champion
Q: What was it like to win both North American and Worlds in the same week?
It felt nuts and almost unreal; the experience was validating and energizing, especially given she was sick during the weekend and still managed to perform at the highest level.
PNP 665- Gremlins VS Goonies+ Pokemon ?'s+ AP Interview+ TWIPYS LIVE Vote!
Q: What are your thoughts on the upcoming Pokemon Pinball?
Albert expresses excitement for the Pokemon Pinball launch, emphasizing the potential for a significant impact given the franchise's 30th anniversary.
PNP 665- Gremlins VS Goonies+ Pokemon ?'s+ AP Interview+ TWIPYS LIVE Vote!
Q: Which is better, Goonies or Gremlins?
Albert argues that although Gremlins may have performed better at the box office due to its Christmas release, the emotional and nostalgic value of the Goonies likely makes it more appealing to audiences today.
