    Pinball today: it's wild, it's wonderful, it's... expensive as hell. In this episode, we break down the pros, the cons, and the weird in-betweens of the current pinball landscape. There's a lot to celebrate, a lot to question, and—let's be honest—a lot to buy if your wallet can handle it. Let's catch up, kick back, and have a good ol' fashioned pinball chat. No fluff, no filter—just real talk from one obsessive fan to another. Want more chaos?
