Episode 141 – The Legend of Slippery Douglas

Hi, everyone. We’re back for episode 141. We talk a bit about Rush, Godzilla, INDISC, Jack Danger, Slippery Douglas, and touch on the upcoming TPF show.

We also give our thoughts on the passing of Lyman Sheats, who we lost recently and far too soon. We would love to hear about your favorite memories of Lyman if you have any, what games he worked on are your favorites, or any love you have to share about Lyman and his contributions to the pinball hobby and community.

If you have access to a Monster Bash, you should DEFINITELY play through the Lyman’s Lament hidden mode. Below are the instructions for starting the mode.

  • Start a new game.
  • Don’t launch the ball quite yet.
  • Flip both flippers at once 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 11 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 5 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 6 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • If you hear Lyman say,”Totally!” you did it correctly.
  • Start the mode by shooting the scoop.

To all those who are feeling loss over Lyman’s passing, especially to those close to him, we offer up our condolences. Lyman was a true pioneer in pinball, a genuinely good person, and a genius that accomplished many things professionally and personally. Donations are being accepted in Lyman’s name for NAMI (https://nami.org) as a way to remember him by showing support for those who struggle with mental health conditions and challenges.

Episode 140 – Electric Bat Arcade

Apparently today is hashtag International Podcast Day or something. Well, we’re here to celebrate by dropping another episode. In episode 140, Jessica talks with Rachel from the Electric Bat Arcade. Electric Bat is located in Tempe, Arizona and it’s truly one of the best places to play in the Western United States. Take a listen to Jess and Rachel talk pinball and see if we finally find an answer to how many pinballs fit inside that bumper car (spoiler: we won’t).

Episode 138 – Ugly Gold Couch

We roll out another one of our location interviews this week as Jessica talks to Debbie from Ugly Gold Couch. This location is housed in a private location that is open for special events, corporate events, and quite often to the local pinball community. The game lineup is amazing, and it’s a must-see for anybody passing through the Boise, Idaho area. You can find them online here: https://idahopinballmuseum.com/

We have a new “regular” episode coming up real soon, so we apologize in advance for Jeff’s eventual bringdown of the vibe.

Episode 135 – The Richmond Pinball Collective

Ok, so episode 135 is actually episode 1…and really, with the B/C episodes and bonuses, that 135 is even more wrong. Whatever. But this exciting! We’re launching a new ongoing series within the podcast feed where we’re going to interview location owners, operators, and technicians! For our first episode, we feature The Richmond Pinball Collective.

Let us know what you think about his new series and if you have suggestions for a location or want to be on, reach out to us! We would love to talk.

Please to enjoy.
