In this episode, Alan and Alex are joined on the show by long time pinball artist Greg Freres, and they discuss Greg's time working in the late 1970s and early 1980s art department at Bally, a truly remarkable time period for pinball art.Greg tells us all about the different processes that revolutionized the industry, working under art director Paul Faris, and the fraternity bond that he shared with Paul, Kevin O'Connor, Margaret Hudsen, Dave Christensen, Tony Ramunni, and Pat McMahon.Greg tells us some great stories from the absolute peak of Bally pinball, and how this rogue's gallery of young artists came in and completely changed the game with their bold and risque illustrative style.Here's a bonus link to Greg's seminar from the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show that we mention in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChCqJVvGlL8

Episode 4: Bat Sh*t Crazy: The Python Anghelo Story Python Anghelo was an eccentric, passionate, charming, classically educated, combative, spiteful, and caring individual. He gave his all for pinball. Python is a guy who added social commentary to his back-glass art, added Easter eggs to his work, drank a lot, fought with leadership over creating unique worlds under glass. Python burned bridges, tossed insults, and pulled no punches along his life's journey. He was a nut for sure. Join us this month as we discuss Python's upbringing, joining the coin-op industry, getting into verbal fights with co workers, drinking on boats, Steve Kordek, cows, more butchering of names, a poll joke and Python's legacy.

DC’s Mike James and Mollie Ames discuss: Being really bad at reading the signals when someone is interested in having sex with you. (Part 1 of the Podcast only content) The Westbound Label logo on all those old Funkadelic records is as much the letter "W" as it is a lesson in sex education, and other examples of how this show is the only sports talk show that's actually good for your earholes. Andrew Luck retiring garnered a different response from the media than it would have just 10 years ago, even if a lot of the lowest common denominator fans still acted exactly how you would expect them to. Once again learning the hard way that emotions and pinball do not mix. (Part 2 of the Podcast only content, begins around the 1:11:00 mark) Lachlan MacKinnon’s Let Me Tell You A Story: “Obstinate” (begins around the 1:25:00 mark) Rapsody is a total badass but tired ass hip-hop video tropes need to stop, they doing more harm than any good at this point. The Tribe have been able to keep rolling with key injuries so far all season, here's hoping they can do the same now with Ramirez out with a broken wrist too. The "Players Weekend" in baseball clearly appears to be better idea in theory than in reality. Discussing one of the elements that will make next week's special 100th Episode of the Defend Cleveland Podcast even more fucking special! (Part 3 of the Podcast only content, begins around the 1:56:00 mark) Trevor Bauer's comments and this week's Browns Fever official measurement is kind of difficult to determine considering NFL Fever in general is also beginning to set in. Mollie’s Weekly Report: And the winner of the best Minor League Baseball ballpark food contest is... Probably going to be served with a side of beans. (Part 4 of the Podcast only content, begins at the 2:34:00 mark) Rating the world's best sausage: The only way when feverishly proud nationalism isn't a scary and bad thing only occurs when you're talking about who has the best sausage. Getting into the science of swearing (just a little bit). All this and so much more on this episode of the Defend Cleveland Podcast. Enjoy~ Check out Lachlan MacKinnon’s best selling book, ‘Let Me Tell You A Story: Small Stories Of A Large Family’! Thank you to KidForce Pinball for sponsoring the podcast, 91.1-FM WRUW Cleveland for being home to the show, engineer extraordinaire Mollie Ames, and to the city that inspires us, Cleveland, Ohio. For more information about the upcoming Cleveland Pinball and Arcade Show brought to you by Kidforce Pinball, click here. Your recommended listening for the week is Funkadelic's 1975 album "Let's Take It To The Stage" released on Westbound Records, because why should some 15 year old buying a record at a record shop in 2019 have better taste than you do? The intro and outro to Lachlan’s segment is the song “My Summer In Traction” by the band Ohio Civil War , and it’s used with permission.
DC’s Mike James and Mollie Ames discuss: Sting is only fucking himself off when he says he fucks for 12 hours. (Part 1 of the Podcast only content) CHAMPIONSHIP MONDAY! ....WOOOOOOOOW! Huge kudos to Stipe Miocic for reclaiming his heavyweight title by knocking out Daniel Cormier. You know what people who aren't from Cleveland think when they hear Cleveland is a "blue collar" or "working man's" town, right? Do we really want that image? Part 1 - Seeing Iron Maiden live in concert in 2019 (aka, finding common ground with people who still love pro-wrestling as adults) (Part 2 of the Podcast only content, begins around the 56:00 mark) Lachlan MacKinnon’s Let Me Tell You A Story: “And Still Champion” (begins around the 1:13:00 mark) Apparently the heavy metal band Slayer and NASCAR don't share the same "beliefs" with one another, which is to say crazed religious fringe jobs are still wholly untrustworthy when it comes to music and art. Jay Z better step up and act or this whole NFL partnership and potential team ownership is exactly the money grabbing soulless charade we most fear it to be. Part 2 - Seeing Iron Maiden live in concert in 2019 (aka, finding common ground with people who still love pro-wrestling as adults) (Part 3 of the Podcast only content, begins around the 1:49:00 mark) Since Stipe won and is champ again that means the Tribe are also going to win the Super Bowl this year... Right? That's stupid but wrestling, real wrestling, has been given a second life and it's called the fantastic world of MMA and the UFC. Mollie’s Weekly Report: "Log Slice Art", a man dies at an extreme food eating contest and finally makes extreme food eating contest something of actual interest, and you've hear of Mr. Freeze, right? Well make room for The Fridge... Literally. (Part 4 of the Podcast only content, begins at the 2:27:00 mark) Citing the most recent examples of the razor thin margin for error that is the reality the Cleveland Indians' roster face when considering their real chances of winning the World Series. Browns Fever Check, Weekly Tribe Playoff Probabilities, and reapplying for consent and what it means to truly feel comfortable around someone. All this and so much more on this episode of the Defend Cleveland Podcast. Enjoy~ Check out Lachlan MacKinnon’s best selling book, ‘Let Me Tell You A Story: Small Stories Of A Large Family’! Thank you to KidForce Pinball for sponsoring the podcast, 91.1-FM WRUW Cleveland for being home to the show, engineer extraordinaire Mollie Ames, and to the city that inspires us, Cleveland, Ohio.

There's no guest in this episode, we speculate on games that have already been announced or released by now, and..I don't know what else, because we recorded this 6 weeks ago! For the next four weeks, we're going quantity over quality, baby! You're getting weekly releases right up until the NW Pinball and Arcade Show! Consistency is for jerks, so we're recalibrating to a biweekly(ish) after that.

Back in the Barthcade for this episode. Since most of us went to the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show, we go over all the games we played up in Washington. There is a little laser talk and some monitor tech talk. Brian gets a JROK ZooQ board and we play Omega Race as our competition game and we talk about game strategies and cabinet variations. We even went for a pre-show ride in Brian's recently acquired '67 VW Beetle.
On our 30th episode, Skill Shot founders Gordon Ornelas and Brad Hayden return to discuss our weekend in Tacoma for the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show, our afternoon at the Iron Bull, and whatever else (like how Brad got lost in his own neighborhood -- whoops, sorry Brad)!
