    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.** ***************     Need a new pinball machine, or perhaps an Escalera?  Make sure you give Zach Meny a call at Flip N' Out pinball, the Premiere Sponsor of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast.  The guy is absolutely wrecking it when it comes to service, selection and a willingness to go the extra mile.

    In episode 37 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, Matt and Jason announce their plans to work with Project Pinball to place a pinball machine in a St. Louis Children's Hospital named "Cardinal Glennon" that Jason reveres for it's important role in his past.  See the summary below for the details.  We also discuss the trials and tribulations of our first stream last week, talk float trips, family trees that model flag poles AND we have a 2016 edition of Flip, Bolt or Torch!  We plan to stream Gorgar this week to promote our campaign described below.  More details will follow as they become available.   The summary of our plans: Jason and Matt will be donating all funds from a sale of a very special collector quality/near collector quality Gorgar and many extras to Project Pinball to help fund them placing a machine in a local children's hospital.  It will be listed on Pinside and Facebook Marketplace in the next couple of days.   It has a clear coated playfield, beautiful backglass, new flipper mechs and a nearly perfect cabinet.  I plan to list it for sale and donate 100% of the proceeds to Project Pinball for the purpose of funding the placement of a new machine in the hospital.  I plan on asking 2500K OBO in the hopes that someone is generous enough to offer that, or more, to know that they helped make this happen.  In addition to the great machine you will take home, we plan to:   -Provide a premium framed certificate commemorating the sale of the machine and describing the funding and thanking the purchaser.  -A public display of the receipt showing the ENTIRE amount and 100% raised for the machine was given DIRECTLY to Project Pinball.   (A pure donation, not raffle purchases) -A HUGE swag pack of everything I can get my hands on.  Other manufacturers are helping by providing giveaways that can be bundled with the machine to help in interest and encourage a generous donation in its sale price.   I am working on more.  The machine will list very soon!   -An offer, if the end purchaser desires, to be interviewed by Matt and I on our podcast and thank them personally.   -Thank yous, repeatedly, to all vendors, manufacturers, media and collectors that either offer something to bundle with the machine, make a donation towards our goal or promote it through mentions or articles.   -If the buyer wishes to pick up the machine in person, I will put them up in a local hotel, and offer my game room for their use the entire time they are in St. Louis in addition to joining us in person, on a special stream (our stream should be launching this week).   In addition, join Matt and I for dinner and drinks.  We will pick up the tab.   -More that has yet to be determined I hope.  It will be a helluva deal for $2,500 bucks.  I hope so much so, that people quickly make that price laughable.   NOTE: There has been some confusion about the machine being placed in the hospital.  Gorgar is NOT being placed in a children's hospital.  Gorgar is being SOLD to give the funds to project pinball so they can choose the machine that is appropriate for Cardinal Glennon.     If you would like to help us help some very deserving children take their minds off some of the battles they face, but do not wish to be in the running for Gorgar, please consider a donation, large or small, to Project Pinball.  In the memo or notes for you donation, please mention the Slap Save Pinball Podcast campaign or "Cardinal Glennon" so the funds go to this particular machine.   Need a new pinball machine, or perhaps an Escalera?  Make sure you give Zach Meny a call at Flip N' Out pinball, the Premiere Sponsor of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast.  The guy is absolutely wrecking it when it comes to service, selection and a willingness to go the extra mile.

    Ep. 14 Extreme Theme Stunting Pinball Ideas & Bad Location Pinball

    Welcome fellow addicts of the silver sphere!  In this 14th episode of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast we dive into our ideas for Extreme Theme Stunt Pinball (not entirely original, but like Lee Majors, we can do it better, stronger and faster). Chris loses his feces over the state of some location pinball, during which, his loss of $.50 almost causes an inter-dimensional black hole of anger that was thankfully saved by some guy who snapped his finger with a larger more blingy, Michael Jackson-esque glove.   We chime in on the JJP Pirates "debate" that is swirling around like a stale beef biscuit.  We talk pinball, we self medicate our colds the only way we know how, we have too many laughs, too much fun and Chris still hates my creative decisions.  :-D  Our online store featuring T-Shirts and other ways of showing your support of our podcast is now LIVE!  You can find the link on our facebook page, or here: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/slap-save-pinball-podcast PINHEADS UNITE.  JOIN US!  What the flip are you waiting for!? Contact us via any of the following.  Oh, and for god sake, don't do anything stupid trying to impress anyone with dangerous pinball machine playing.  It won't work, and people will laugh at your stupidity.  We would only attempt anything with qualified personnel who are trained EMTs and Jedi masters. Given the Jedi shortage, we may have to settle for playing in our basements standing on one leg.  Email: slapsavepinballpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: Slap Save Pinball https://www.facebook.com/slapsavepinball/ Automated Voice/comment line: 314.529.1875 Instagram: Slapsavepodcast https://www.instagram.com/slapsavepodcast/ Twitter: Slap Save Pinball Podcast https://twitter.com/slap_save_ Twitch (Chris streaming pinball in his ridiculous hats): slap_save_ Pinside: kidchrisso (Chris) sdtminstl (Jason) Huge thanks to the incredible and ridiculously talented DJ Quads for the beats.  Check out his music here. https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads

    In this Episode 13 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, we tear the roof off this mother$%#^@ and lay down the gauntlet on Corporate Paywalls and cheap Alligator Clips on mods.  We also pretend to be civil for a while and discuss the merits of Pinball Charities.  Chris then describes his Munster obsession, we tell you some great places to play pinball if you ever roll through St. Louis and all of this while running from the scary big green guy with the "huge organ."  (Frank from the Monster Bash band of course, where was your mind at?)  While this episode kicks all kinds of posterior cheeks, WAIT THERE'S MORE!  If you sign up for the new SLAP SAVE PINBALL PODCAST Members Only Club for just $200 per year, you will get the following benefits!   Exclusive access to our stream where we record the podcast in nothing but Mork and Mindy suspenders.

    In this 12th episode of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast, we welcome a guest host, Matt Koenen who stands in for a sickly, or possibly federally detained Chris.   We talk about some minor quibbles with a new Monster Bash LE, Jason's early thoughts on a Munster's Pro that he put several dozen games on, the absurdity and sour grapes that have surrounded the TWIPY vote, and Matt and I unanimously torch the same game from the wonderful year of 1993.  Will you agree with our Flip, Bolt and Torch '93 edition?
