Hello everyone.

I wanted to announce The Slap Save Pinball Podcast and give anyone who might be interested, some information about who, what, why and when. Myself, and Chris kidchrisso , have recently just posted our 4th episode that discusses the hobby and community that we both have come to focus so much on and enjoy. We are located just outside of St. Louis, MO. We feature shorter episodes (30-45mins max) on a weekly basis, and really keep a fast pace that doesn't take ourselves, or pinball for that matter, too seriously. We are not in this for cash, quasi-fame/notoriety, drama, or any sort of benefit other than sharing our enthusiasm.

As guys who soak up any feedback we can, including keeping tabs on discussions here on pinside about podcasting in the hobby, we are aware that this isn't everyone's "cup of tea." For those of you that despise them, we will never try to shove this down your throat. If you might be one who DOES enjoy podcasts, just know, we would love to have you participate and hopefully have a laugh or two with us. This thread will be the only place we will personally announce, discuss or talk about the podcast. We always welcome constructive criticism and feedback, and there are several options to contact us listed below.

Both Chris and I know that the pinball podcast landscape is crowded with people who have set the bar very, very high and you all have a LOT of great sources for this sort of thing. We respect the hell out of any and all those who provide any sort of contribution to the hobby, podcasting or otherwise, and hope that at some point, we can be an influence to another show down the road, if and when, we have proven ourselves. We wanted to wait to announce it till we had a few episodes established so anyone interested could get an idea of our intended format.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you will consider us on a long commute, sitting on the crapper, or just trying to fill a pinball void you may have. Just don't let the seat hit you in the $*@^ while you are listening on the throne.

-Jason (and Chris)

Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate each and everyone of you that have given us a shot. We are having a blast doing this.

Episode 5 just just dropped for those that might be interested. https://slapsave.podbean.com/e/ep-5-pinball-sale-deal-breakers-awful-facebook-sellers-and-steve-ritchie-digs-one-of-our-wives/

Lol. Thank you Ice! Trust me, with Chris around, there is no shortage of expletives that I have to bleep out. I had the pleasure of being in Chicago last night and met up with Ken and Bill of the Special When Lit Podcast and had Ken rolling when I told him I can visually identify the word F@$k in it's waveform from Chris's mouth without even listening. That is no lie.

Zach. I love ya like a brother, but I think you may find yourself in the minority on the pro B&W side. Enjoy your bright orange Camry.

I appreciate the feedback and that is a terrific idea. While a podcatcher app will resume, for those folks who would prefer to use YouTube, it will be uploaded there starting with the next episode. Thank you for the suggestion. -Jason

Coz, thanks for listening and giving us a shot. It is sincerely appreciated.

Just posted Episode 6. This week's release was slightly delayed in an attempt to wait for the Munsters reveal. A sincere thanks to all the people giving us a shot. We are blown away by the early numbers!

Find it here: https://slapsave.podbean.com/e/ep-6-munsters-reveal-our-thoughts-undercabinet-lighting-more-of-the-usual-shenanigans/

We are also available through your podcatcher of choice, Apple and Google.

Damn! I've still not been able to try it. I agree about the prospect of buying it, but I'd love to give it a few games.

kidchrisso

Oh I'm not buying it, nor Munsters. I'm awaiting other old fart games. Fingers crossed for Highway to Heaven or Hee Haw.

My opinion? It's deep. Too deep for me. The character selection is absurd, the rule set is complicated, which I don't usually mind, but excessively so in this case. The theme is a miss for me as well. It's lack of assets is glaring and it feels dated already to me. It would be like someone releasing a Scream theme now. That ship has sailed, pun intended. I love jjp, and I have played it extensively and it's still a miss for me. I love the Hobbit, when setup well and with the latest code, and I know some people despise it though, so to each his own I suppose.

Thanks for the listens and the feedback guys. We enjoy the longer podcasts for certain, and listen to them regularly, and they all have their place. We saw a show length that was being ignored though and thought there might be demand for a shorter, succinct show. It seems to be hitting home for more people than we ever anticipated this early in the game.

We may do the occasional double episode if circumstances call for it but we plan on sticking with the 30-45 min length for sure.

Thanks Ken! You guys set the bar high as hell!

Beer. Must. Happen. Soon.

As always everyone, thanks for your continued support. The buzz and feedback we are getting has only fueled the fire for Chris and I to continue to make an ass out of ourselves across the "internets" for your entertainment... and to piss off our wonderful wives.

Just posted and live is our lucky number 7 episode! We are giving away a set of Pinstadiums with UV+Glow and invisishields for any machine of your choice. Listen to this episode to find out how to enter.

In this episode, we talk slingers, Chris vents about 500, err 600 Munster LE's and we talk about what we look for in used games. There may be a mention of Dutch hookers and Greg Bone's back problems, although we do not believe they are related. In this episode's easter egg, which may be a thing moving forward, there is a guest voice of a caller who thoughtfully called in to our voice line with his articulate review (edited for length and entertainment purposes.) Houston... you have a problem.

Koos destroyed my dreams when he cleared up the fact that Amsterdam is the lone place where this happens. Thanks bud!

We just posted our latest episode after a pretty incredible ride in a stainless steel under-powered sports car with a food processor on it. The notes are below if you are interested. Thanks for listening and joining us in our shenanigans!

Ep. 8/60: Back to the Future
January 22, 2019

In episode 60 of the Slap Save Pinball Podcast we look back at 2019 and summarize the current state of pinball. Chris has somehow still avoided a temper induced aneurysm, and this time goes off on a tangent about the announcement of a game he's not thrilled with. We tackle Sterns Wifi updates and it's consequences, tournament hacks using the same system, the effect of last years Sales Tax and talk about A LOT of games that have hit the market since we started this jalopy just over *1 year ago. We hope you enjoy this unique, special edition of our podcast and thanks for joining us on the ride.

HA! I am afraid that you will not be alone in your confusion. A lot of us who listen to podcasts multi task when doing so, and I can imagine this might cause "War of the Worlds" type hysteria.

I'll be giggling on the sidelines.

Thanks for listening my friend! Glad you enjoyed it.
