This podcast will always be over in under 3 minutes and will focus on pinball, my dog Harold, and a fictional humanoid pickle named Gortlieb. Don’t expect much more and be prepared for a good time. Have you experienced podcast heaven? Let me take you on a 3 minute tour.
Aaron Nelson the godfather of Portland pinball tournaments talks about how it all started! My first interview!
The Wedgehead King Kong is setup perfectly hard. It’s mean and has gaffled me for weeks haunting moments in my day that should be used for daydreaming. New Gortlieb came out today.
I got a call from a pal about buying some games a few hours away from Portland. Too good to be true?! Maybe, but dang I hope not. I GCed the Sorcerer at Black Water yesterday so I made it the image for this episode as a brag.
We are coming close to the end of season one of the podcast. In this episode, Nate talks about a good pinball day and the end of season one of the podcast. He also explains how season two is gonna be chill and will be a chill time.
Robert Vandezande’s High Hand that was purchased at. Bishop Dwenger High School charity auction in 1984 is making its public debut in Portland. Robert is my grandfather and I “inherited” the game when he passed a handful of years ago. Inherited is in quotes because the game was almost given away with a pool table after my grandfathers passing. I quickly scheduled a freight pickup and had the game shipped to Oregon. A lot of history in this machine. I’d love to tell the stories in more detail. Also I have new Gortlieb hats.
Poor Harold is having some issues after his neuter. He is ok. I pre ordered nudge magazine #5. I didn’t mention this in the podcast, but Nudge, I hate that article about beating good players by talking to them between balls. Please send me both bumper stickers.
Today we talk about having an apprentice. Help the people get into the Pinball industry. I need to be more aware of the three minute time. I went over today and it’s only episode three. Need to be more thoughtful and wrapping up these episodes as we get more and more popular people are gonna hold me accountable..
Harold’s story. The time I called Jack Danger Jack Sharpe while drinking at Pinburgh and then repeatedly called him Death Flip. Sorry Jack Danger. Thanks for all you do for pinball.
In this first episode we talk about Gortlieb, Harold the Lents Pinball dog, and this podcast.
