I called Flip N Out pinball this morning to get Escalera pricing and got to speak with the man himself, Zach. Could not be happier with our conversation, and I think the approach they are taking with SDTM is perfect. I'm excited to see their continued videos and streams, and also happy to say that Zach comes across on the phone as the exact same type of what you see is what you get average Joe guy as you see on SDTM, and that is truly refreshing. I'll be ordering an Escalera from him very soon!

Thats where my business is going! FYI, get the Longer (66) Escalera if you get one and make sure to get the large wheel kit. I did the shorter one and wish I went with the other. Just much easier to control on stairs with the longer load triangle.

Yea the 66 plus big wheel plus forklift is what I’m planning on.

I really enjoy SDTM's videos. I just hope recent developments don't affect the show's ability to be objective. Especially when reviewing new games.
Best of luck to you Zach!

Huge fan myself and highly doubt much will change keeping in mind they have always presented Their enjoyment of a game not necessarily any recommendations on buy or not to buy. Add to that most of their show sponsors never minded the honest opinions and that never lost them any credibility with supporters. Plus they have shown their credibility/honesty is not for sale like it or not.

Do you know when you’re ordering escalera this week? I might order this week.

Thanks Zach. Email sent, no rush.

I was basing all my buying decisions off SDTM’s reviews. Now I’m not sure if I can trust them knowing Zach works for the man (or is it men?). Not to mention the hate of mustard. He cannot be trusted!!

That escalated quickly

Honestly I'm just glad that Indiana is finally going to be selling something besides corn, watermelon, cantelopes, John Deere tractors, and Red Man chewing tobacco.

And let us Not forget that ridiculous game they push on everyone Corn Holing! Its called horse shoes for drinkers!

He’s a bastard....that’s all. We shall call him Zach Snow from now on

It tough over here

Not a bad game but I’m blown away with the obsession lol

But why corn hole for the name, huh? Of all my really early youth slang terms from when my friends and I thought “doo doo” and “pee pee” and “pregnant” were on the list of seven things you can’t say on television, “corn hole” had such a bad reputation as a specific euphemistic act that every time we hear someone say “Let’s go corn holin’ today we cannot keep a straight face. Ymmv.

Those Indiana boys take corn holing very serious I've heard.

And don’t we know it @who-dey... we only grew up right next door in Ohio.

Thats only cause most of them are related!! Best watch my statements, I am counting on continued awesome business with Flippen Out Pinball! My Munsters LE might be just a box of corn husks when it arrives....

I dont think you will find a better bunch of folks than in the KOI Tristate... Lot of pinball memories there.

All joking aside i heard that if you buy an LE that Zach will throw in a free John Deere hat and a pack of Red Man with it.

I know Bubblehead. ...scary! Isn't that where they filmed that movie Wrong Turn at?

Hmmm, sounds different then the deal I got? He said I would get a picture of a Red man wearing a John Deere hat? I assumed he meant Bublehead?

Come on, everyone knows Mail Pouch is the best Burley chew out there... But nothing runs like a Deere.

Mail Pouch is what the old timers in Ky used to chew. You gotta be a special kind of man to chew Mail Pouch Bubblehead.

All this talk about corn and the fun you can have with corn hole has me confused. I understand what the hole is for but In the South we prefer drinking our corn. Zach pedaled pinball cologne so I expect it is only a matter of time until we see his new product - pinball moonshine.

Greg makes it and delivers it to Zach in the dark of night. Zach’s wife rebottles it and adds a label with her pic and the printed “guaranteed to fix what ails ya”. One bottle per customer, Flippin Out is a catchy title for your corn squeezings and the family recipe.

I know thats a lie because Greg would drink it all on the way there!

My grand dad, Elmer Ison (RIP), from Isonville, Kentucky, a tiny little town in Elliott county named after his great great grandfather (and my great great great great grand pappy) Archibald Ison, chewed nothing but Mail Pouch. He also grew it. I forgot to add, he made moonshine as well, but almost all the farmers back then did.

Flippin’ Out Moonshine. You got a brand going right there.

I want to again wish Zach and his wife the best of luck in their new endeavor, we need this kind of energy (and humor) at the distributor level if we are to keep this pinball resurgence thing surging.

G'day Greg this is really old news so you probably already know about it , but if not you should check out the beginning of Cop Land with Sylvester Stallone it was on TV the other night and the first thing that came to mind was you . And congratulations Zach on your new venture I hope you do really well I'd love to buy pinball machine off someone as passionate about them as you .

Another great episode. I hope the Twippy did not cause an allergic reaction on Greg’s neck!

Good review and pretty accurate too i think. Fathom is a beautiful game. Did you guys see the one at Pincinnati? That game was top notch and stunning!

Love the Fathom review guys! Must watch stuff in my opinion. Speaking of must watch.

Read, watch, skim... whatever, the Odyssey Zach. **Slaps forehead** I think you like Tolkien stories, right? It is somewhat similar stuff. Its only one of the greatest stories in the history of human works.

Sorry brother. Not trying to throw shade, but you surprised me on that one.

I like the changes to your Flip N Out sponsor video, eye catching. It's the only time I've ever have gone back to the beginning to look at an ad one more time after I have finished watching a review. A+

All i know is, if i buy a new game from Zach i expect him to throw in a free John Deere hat, a bushel of corn, pack of Red Man, and a free Pizza King pizza. I dont think thats too much to ask for!

I’m excited for a website revamp. Zach doesn’t do anything halfway, so it should be good. Hell, just put that video ad on the front page and things are already looking up.

The key to being successful in business is simple. Be honest and trustworthy and dont lie to people or bullshit them. Everything else will fall into place on its own if you are that type of person. There’s no doubt in my mind that Zach will be all of those things and be very successful in this business.

And a hat and Red Man go a long way also....

Ha ha I bet he could make it happen!

No love for Big Chief?

It’s THE BEST.

Hollywoodbone could be a merman

Is that a candid pic of Greg walking around his house. His bedroom wallpaper looks a little elitist .

That's him at the local pool last summer...he's the lifeguard, and insists on wearing that.

Greg in a Mullet. Only an Indiana Merman could pull that off. That picture looks like Merman meets Michael Jackson. lol

Yet another B minus grade handed out from Greg for a game rating. Who could have seen that coming?!

I for one am shocked.

Ok ZMeny , don’t want you to feel left out. You could be a merman too.
