  • Episode 39 - Operator Spotlight: Flip a Coin
    Jul 15 2024

    We are joined on the show by Adam 'AJ' Jordan, owner and operator of the 'Flip a Coin Arcade' that they built in the basement of his girlfriend's bakery, the 'Bite Me Cake Company' in Pueblo, Colorado.

    We talk about building a scene in a small town, taking a leap in the middle of covid, and how his day job as an autobody repair guy has bled over into his operating of pins, including spraying new clearcoats and repainting old cabinets in the booth.

    AJ is another very passionate hobbyist turned operator, and one of those folks that we absolutely love talking to and highlighting on the show.

  • Episode 38 - Die on this Hill: Orbitor 1
    Jul 8 2024

    Our pal Jeff Johnsen, the operator of Walt's in LA, is back on the show to defend the last pinball machine that the original Stern Electronics company ever made, Orbitor 1.

    Jeff tells us about the historical significance of the game, including the two pinball outsiders and NASA engineers, who brought their concept and ideas for an entirely new play experience to a company under duress, and convinced them to take the leap and manufacture one of the most hated pinball machines of all time in the process.

    What most people write off as a weirdo art project novelty, Jeff argues that it's actually a real pinball machine and is very controllable and satisfying to play once you take the time to learn it. The internet disagrees...HARSHLY.

    As always, we are adults and speak like them. There are a few naughty words used throughout.

  • Episode 37 - Operator Spotlight: Walt's
    Jul 1 2024

    We speak with Jeff Johnsen, owner and operator of Walt's Bar in LA's Eagle Rock neighborhood about how his father taught him and his brother how to work on games as kids, almost blowing themselves up in the process.

    We talk about the LA pinball scene, pricing games, giving up his route, and how to properly rehab an old plumbing supply store into an iconic LA bar, replete with 10 vintage pins.

    Join us for a chat with one of the wildest pinball operators we have ever chatted with, as we talk about one of the most vibey pinball locations in the country using some choice adult language.
