If so, I will give you a chance just like pretty much every other pinball podcast.

This can mean only one thing ... crossover!

If your first guest isn’t Chris, you’re wasting our time.

He needs Chris, Pete Rose, or some random dude that's also named either Chris or Pete Rose.

You should interview Miguel Jones.
Quoted from TheLaw:Tro-bros
lmao ok thats pretty funny
Quoted from dugmar:See, that is how you do it.
So instead of retorts you go for the personal attack? You follow your master well...
You also thought Chris was a consumer champ and knew what he was talking about.. so we already know your evaluation skills are garbage.

PS: It is just an opinion about, wait for it... A PINBALL PODCAST. LOL!
1 week later
I was told about Pinside by a couple cool guys in the pinball industry, and they told me to check it out. I did. That ends today.
Majority of members on this forum are amazing, knowledgable, friendly, and cool. But there a is a disease spreading on here taking over a big chunk of Pinside and it’s Kaneda Derangement Syndrome (KDS). You guys are super obsessed with him, and I get it, he’s an amazing podcaster, #1 in the world of pinball. He has a great life, he’s intelligent, he has a beautiful wife, has a bunch of twipy’s, he’s a great looking guy. I get it, people are jealous of him. You know what I like about Kaneda, he’s not a schill for anyone. So if the fact that I’m not a sheep and go goo goo gaga for every new pin makes me a Kaneda, then I’ll wear that badge with pride. I don’t listen to any podcast, as I don’t have time for that in my personal life, and I also don’t have the attention span to listen to someone talk about pinball, but if I did, I’d sure give Kaneda a listen since so many people on here think I’m him, and would love to hear someone who speaks his mind about the industry. Seems like every intelligent post I make, gets “your Kaneda” response, so I guess he’s a smart guy! No wonder why so many people talk about him. I’m going to google twipy after this and find out how to vote for him for best podcast.
So this Kaneda Derangement Syndrome (KDS), has annoyed me for a bit, as I enjoy to discuss pinball, its fun, but why so serious? Almost every post I make, gets met with, “Hey you’re Kaneda”, or “shut up Chris”. So it got annoying after a while and my ignore list grew larger and larger and larger, to a point where threads are starting to look empty. I don’t mind people confusing me, I get it all the time, people always say I look like Brad Pitt 
, but I’ve repeated many times that I’m not Kaneda, yet, people have KDS, and must miss him or something, and they need their savior. I am not him. Sorry to break your heart one final time, but I’m not Kaneda. But the issue is, a lot of people for some reason hate him, and I get angry messages from people that think I am him, and I just ignore them, as I’m not him. Then came last night when Graysonsdad, decided to say “I hope your family gets Covid and your baby gets autism”, not cool Dean, totally unprovoked and it got me thinking, how bad is KDS here? Why are people so obsessed, and what causes someone to say that to another human being? I started to step back and rethink... is Pinside really worth it? I was really disturbed someone would say that. That’s the most rotten thing I’ve ever read. It also got me thinking, what does Kaneda go through daily? do people send him these kind of messages too? And why? It’s pinball, it’s suppose to bring fun and enjoyment to people. I came here to join a community and talk pinball, where we can be critical of machines and also celebrate machines and successes, but it’s been very hostile towards me lately. Now, I know there are a few screwballs in other forums, no forum is safe from them, but wishing ill will on people’s families unprovoked is a new low. Never have I experienced that in my life, I thought all the messages from various people calling me Chris was crazy…which by the way…is super weird…think about it…you have me saying I’m not Chris and Chris saying he’s not me, we had a little tiff many months ago, so you’re telling me, Chris had a tiff with himself…and somehow this all sounds normal to everyone? That’s some crazy soap opera stuff, and a lot of people here believe and swear by it…sorry, but that’s such a stretch and so illogical and crazy. Hence, the reason I’m leaving. I thought this was a forum about pinball, but it’s a full of KDS. Mind you 99% of you guys are amazing and it was pleasure, just that 1% ruined it for me and that percentage was growing daily, and getting more and more toxic. I’m going to enjoy playing on my pins now. I hope people stop being assholes to one another. I hope people stop being assholes to Kaneda, we a humans who enjoy pinball…don’t know how wishing ill will on a family is an appropriate response to not liking Led Zeppelin’s art work…think about how insane that is. For that reason, I’m out. Good luck Chris, I feel for you, I don’t know what motivates you to keep going, but you deserve a twipy for putting up with this BS. Happy Holidays everyone, and may you all find a pinball under your Christmas tree. Spread love, it’s free!
Side note, people with autism are f’in awesome, I’ve met many people with autism and honored to be friends with them. Bless the parents who do everything for their child and face those challenges with their child and create an extra strong bond with them and overcome extra obstacles together to live like everyone else. We don’t need people like Graysonsdad attempting to use it as an insult, I was more offended with his Covid remark. For those interested check out Robert Gagno, tell me he doesn’t kick ass!!
Well, if Graysonsdad really did write that to you through pinside messenger or in a post, then that's basically an immediate ban, or at least a temp-ban. So I'd report him and forward his messages to a mod. Also, if you don't know why some people hate Kaneda, then you need to do a little research. Kaneda's basically said and done the same things that you complain about others doing to you. If you do some research, you can uncover a lot of awful things that he did.
Kaneda may be a bigger/nicer person these days, but it still doesn't change the fact that he was throwing drinks in people's faces at the NYC Pinball Championships as recently as a couple years ago. That does tend to give one a bad rep.
I like, but don't love, his podcast. And I think K's mellowed a lot lately. So I personally like him well enough, but I get why others don't.

He actually did write that: you can see the screen shot in the Next Stern Pin thread. Totally uncalled for...I don't care what you think about another person. But he's a guy that doesn't seem very happy based on his posts. Gotta feel badly for Grayson. 
Some people need to remember that karma's a bitch.
Its moments like this that really harken back to an earlier time on Pinside.
Everyone enjoys drama, intrigue, righteous conflict. We need a Club where folks can spout off like this everyday.
Quoted from beelzeboob:He actually did write that
This is an uncertain, tight spot that has contributed to hostility among people.
If he wrote that he must have snapped. Now, snapping is no excuse. Just happening with more frequency these days.

TLDR: Definitly special k.
Quoted from RyanStl:TLDR: Definitly special k.
I do find it interesting that he posts his "final" post (but not really) in the Kaneda thread rather than the thread where the offending comment originated. Why show up here to punch out? 
Quoted from BallPin:I was told about Pinside by a couple cool guys in the pinball industry, and they told me to check it out. I did. That ends today.
Quoted from Rezdog:Speaking of punching out...anybody know what happened to gryzz? Kinda miss the guys random posts in the middle of threads.
Texted with him not too long ago. Seems fine. Must just be taking a break from here.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Texted with him not too long ago. Seems fine. Must just be taking a break from here.
I believe he was booted.
Good to hear
That he is doing well, not being booted. Guy seemed complicated but overall a good dude.
Just one that you didn’t know how to take.
Think that’s what made him interesting.
That being said not surprised if he got the boot.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Dang you’re right. That sucks.
Indeed it does. I personally thought the guy was hilarious and he didn't take shit from anyone.
Quoted from Rezdog:Yeah I searched a few weeks ago wondering wtf happened?
Yeah I 'felt' he was posting less lately. I hope his banishment doesn't have anything to do with Alcohol.
bwahhhaha! No worries, if the let o-din back in 40000 times he'll be back.
Allah willing.
EDIT: Gotta be a top 3 Pinsider.
I talked to Gryszzz recently, he’s doing pretty good, just a little depressed about the election results.
So, who's gonna spot K's next dummy persona first?
He obviously can't take it, not being able to blather on and on.
I know you dont need to own a pin to be crazy into the hobby, but he could fit 3 pin's in that apartment.
For a podcaster, it seems odd. Does he even really like pinball?
Or is this just the last hobby he hasn't been tarred and feathered out of?

I so love these people that have to leave a forum/room with a diatribe
Quoted from DakotaMike:
... then that's basically an immediate ban....
Quoted from TheLaw:Since when?
Well, I was under the impression that you aren't allowed to threaten other pinside members, and their families, with physical harm. Seems like a no brainer policy. Let me check the community guidelines. Yep, they specifically state that personal attacks, suggestions of violence, and threats are forbidden. Seems clear to me.

I agree. If you send a PM to someone with that kind of sentiment in it... you should be kicked. Ridiculous if true (no matter who it was sent to)
If I was Ballpin and I truly wasn't Kaneda, I would have just taken a picture of myself or some sort of proof to piss off all the people who were being jerks. Kinda suss.
Regardless if it was or wasn't Kaneda, I don't care who it is, those types of comments that were sent to him way cross the line and are gross and shouldn't be tolerated here. Thats coming from me, a guy who loves edgy humor and being inappropriate. Not cool.
Quoted from TheLaw:Jeez I've got an inbox full of them
So do you blame Pinside PM voodoo for your three cases of herpes and the clap?

Can you still call it "happy hour" if you spend it sending death threats?
