Episode 20 - Matt O/Brien / Livin' On A Prayer (as usual)
Comedian Matt O'Brien joins the show! You've probably seen him pop up in your algorithm on Instagram.... we did too, so we invited him on to talk about his new found love of pinball. His "silly" videos were so compelling, Stern even sent a machine to his house! In addition, we talk about the latest and greatest in pinball, except NOT Fallout because at the time of taping, we hadn't seen it yet! That will be on the next episode, and yeah, it looks pretty dang cool.
