Podcast
Join co-hosts Brent and Whitney as they share a ‘southern view’ (and some definite drawl) on the vibrant hobby of collecting, restoring and playing the arcade and pinball classics from the late 70′s to today.
The podcast covers everything from the golden age of arcade gaming to the newest pinball titles currently hitting the streets and everything in between. Add in technical talk segments, collecting and restoration stories, interviews and sit-in guests as well as game room updates, forum news, listener mail and twitter questions (with the occasional live streams) and you’ve got a couple hours of your life you’ll never get back!

76: The Zebco 33It's Christmas and New Years all squashed together and what better way to give 'ol 2018 the proper boot than to tell a bunch of arcade-related fishing stories (hence the title tie-in...get it?!?!?) and do absolutely no reflection whatsoever on the past year.

74: I can do that with spray foam!It's all about the "stuff" this month - ColorDMD, new Pinball, Stern Code updates, flashlights and tool boxes! Oh yeah - we spend some money and read some feedback as well - it's the best plumbing podcast EVAR!
72: Chrome won’t get you homeLots of posing, lots of talking and lots of making stuff up. Like the old saying goes "chrome won't get you home" but we sure pretended it did.

Join us for our Friday night (3/2/2018) live stream show from the floor of [...]
64: Wiggle Your VectorsFeb. may be a short month, but we make up for it in freakin' awesomeness! New tools, new music and new projects abound!
63: I have my Bachelor’s in HamIt's winter and what else is there to do except dream about warmer weather and talk about all kinds of pork-related products?? Arcade and Pinball you say?!? Well, we've got it in droves for you this month! Pole Position, Sky Skipper, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Domino Man, Konami 2-in-1, etc. We cover it all.
62: Sounds like Burl Ives!We wrap up the year 2017 with just about anything you can think of - news, eprom programmer talk, Ready Player One, Pinball wishlists and game discussion, Star Wars and of course - Burl Ives.
61: We Are Professional GradeThanksgiving comes and goes so quickly anymore, that it seems like the month of November just flies by – whether we want it to or not. Despite the pace, it’s always important to take the time and reflect on what to be thankful for this year. For us, it’s being back home safe and sound (Whitney) to get back in the studio and for not blowing out a Christmas budget (Brent) by spending too much money – and Whitney invents yet another new word! Did we say we are professionals?
60: Almost a Show…It's a halloween freakshow, but without the freakshow and we're missing the clowns! Special guest-host David Corrigan sits in for Whitney as he visits with Alex for the UK Sky Skipper reveal!
59: #20DollarNotActuallyAWordTake out Summer 2017 in style - with a 50V shock, a Gorf and some discussion about the "good old days"... Playmeter style.
58: Tough as nails but ugly as sinBrent threw down the gauntlet with this episode – if you can find an uglier patch of carpet than what he has in his workroom, then you win absolutely nothing - nada, zip, zilch…basically just bragging rights on the fact that you’re keeping it real while working on your games.
We have the usual gameroom and hobby updates, discuss Fandom Fest, collecting Funco Pops (we even open a few on air) discuss the good/bad on various multimeters, spend some of Brent’s money and discuss a topic that we thought would never be covered on an arcade/pinball podcast - the arrest of legendary pinball designer John Trudeau. All this and feedback too – August 2017 goes down in the history books.
57: They Went Straight to Plaid!This month we talk Star Wars Pinball, the AtariBox, Jurassic Park, soldering equipment, Sky Skipper and more!
55: Gamey McGame and the Double NickelEpisode 55 (the 'ol double nickel) is ready to roll! We talk Sky Skipper, Laser Tag, gameroom updates, pinball lighting and feature Jersey Jack from JJP and his panel discussion from the 2017 Louisville Arcade Expo!
54: Two Tacos and a CigarWe talk updates since LAX 2017, we spend tons of Brent's money and feature operator Jimmy Litsey on the radio!
53: Saturday Night Live at the 2017 Louisville Arcade ExpoIt's Saturday Night's livestream show from the 2017 Louisville Arcade Expo, recorded and streamed on March 4th, 2017!

Episode 41- The Black Hole Notebook Ghostbusters?The words ‘Back in the saddle’ has a lot of connotations, but we all know what it means in the land of BT – EPIC show at EPIC normal length! Smile
We roll out of April and into May returning to the studio and catching up on all things arcade and pinball since our livestream shows at the 2016 Louisville Arcade Expo. We sit down and catch up on hobby and project progress over the past six weeks, talk tech, catch up on quite a bit of pinball news and in an unprecedented display of shrewdness, showmanship and podcasting sound effects, Brent spends both his – and Whitney’s - money this month!
We also have the opportunity to hear from the ‘King of Flow’ himself – Mr. Steve Ritchie in our first ‘seminar segments’ from Louisville Arcade Expo. Steve talks about pinball design, the state of the industry and the economy, Game of Thrones and more. I apologize up front a bit for the audio – it required a good amount of post-processing but it came out really well all things considered.
Episode 40–Saturday Night Live from the 2016 Louisville Arcade ExpoIt's 'Saturday Night Live' @ the 2016 Louisville Arcade Expo! We feature a host of live sit-in interviews, talk to the MixLR chat room and have a great time talking about the show day!

November 2015
As we roll out of Thanksgiving and officially into the Christmas holiday [...]
Episode 34–12…It’s The Magic NumberAs we bring October 2015 to a close, it’s time to start looking towards the upcoming holidays, time with family and friends and hopefully some quality game restoration time! We’re definitely looking forward to the same and to help kick off ‘our favorite time of the year’ we have a new episode to help get you through some of that oh-so-quiet garage time applying bondo and huffing magic eraser suds. :)
One thing that never ceases to amaze is just how much you can accomplish, even on a short schedule. Both Brent and I were on the road most of the month for work and vacation, yet we still managed to cover off on a lot of topics:
Brent goes to Disney and gives us the low-down on Disney Quest, he makes some great progress on the Burgertime and gives the Big Guns the boot.
Whitney gets another Satan’s Hollow, wishes he had worked on the Zoo Keeper, laments starting on the Rally-X and almost drops an R-Type to its death.
Add to that we cover off on everything you’d ever want to know about rebuilding a G07, respond to a boat-load of feedback, Brent finally understands why magic marker isn’t OEM on the Burgertime and talk about why you don’t take Whitney fishing.
Episode 33–Who Didn’t See That One Coming?Fall is in the air and with that comes the upcoming Holidays, family time and (hopefully) some good garage and playing time, as well. Speaking of playing, it’s an interesting point to consider – if you could have any arcade games you wanted, what would make the cut on your top-10 list? Brent and I answer that question this month and dive into the titles that win out over all others. It’s a fun and lively discussion and it’s a segment we’ve been meaning to do for months and we’re happy to slot it in for this episode.
Personally - I was glad to see that Brent loves Donkey Kong so much… I knew he’d eventually come around.
Once Brent came down off his Donkey Kong high, we were able to get back to business and discuss some game room updates, new reproduction parts for this month, respond to a TON of feedback (thank you!!), do a mini-review of the movie Pixels and we learn a little about Brent’s multi-game cabinet… great story and one that will certainly hit home for anyone who shares the hobby with their family.
So grab your favorite Oktoberfest and warm up with a good blankie while episode #33 gives you more insight into our psyche than you probably ever wanted!

It’s our big (ok, not really *that* big) 30th episode and we’re in the studio [...]
Episode 29 – 1To1 with David CraneThis is the fifth and final episode in our coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo and we’re excited to be bringing you this very special interview with David Crane.
Episode 28–The Internal Magic of the Atari 2600This is the fourth episode in our coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo and we are proud to bring you the audio (and video) from the David Crane seminar entitled “The Internal Magic of the Atari 2600”.
Episode 27 – It’s Happy Hour (and then some)!This is the third of a whopping five special episodes that encompass our live coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo!
This show’s format is what I’d like to think of as “unplugged” as we camped out in a hotel room with the mics and portable recorders and 12+ people joined in on the fun where some beers were consumed, gaming was the topic and the Expo was the backdrop. It was a great time and is something we’d definitely like to do more of.
Episode 26 – Saturday Night Live from the 2015 Louisville Arcade ExpoThis is the second of a whopping five special episodes that encompass our live coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo! This show was recorded live on Saturday night, March 7th, 2015 and includes coverage from the expo floor and several sit-in guest interviews from friends of the show (Shawn & Sharon O'Shea, Steve Ridge, Patrick Wall (sons Andrew & Davis) from GameroomJunkies, David Paul (sons Ben & Jason ) from LifeUnderGlass) that were in attendance, as well as Whitney's daughter Grace and Michael Ridge!
Episode 25 – Hear the Fool, Be the Fool, LOVE the Fool!April 1st is a day of jokes, gags and fun so Brent and I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to poke some fun at ourselves and compile a collection of outtakes from previous episodes, as well as some bloopers from some of our past live shows!
It takes a lot of mistakes to make up a show episode (trust us, we generate tons of them every month) but we picked some of the best for everyone to enjoy and thought it neat to put out a mini-show between regular episodes.
We trust you’ll get a few laughs at our expense (as it should be) and enjoy the show. We’re holding a few more back (hey, we wanna put together a 2x show for next year!) so rest assured there’s more then enough tomfoolery (#20dollarword) to go around!
Episode 24 – Friday Night Live from the 2015 Louisville Arcade ExpoThis is the first of a whopping five special episodes that encompass our live coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo!
This show was recorded live on Friday night, March 6th, 2015 and includes live coverage from the show floor and several sit-in guest interviews from friends of the show that were in attendance.
Episode 23 – My Bucket Runneth Empty*whew*... we just barely made it in under the "short month" deadline for this episode.. weather here in KY has been nothing short of "tough" the past several weeks and getting together to record has been a bit of a challenge due to that. BUT - we found a decent day break in the -10 temperatures and took advantage of it and had a blast putting together this month's show.
Episode 22 – I love them, but they don’t love me backWe're ringing in 2015 with a bit of flair by way of some updates to the podcast, and we trust that everyone is as excited as we are for some of the changes we're making for the New Year!
With the Holidays now squarely behind us, we take some time to revisit the year for a bit and also cover what we've been up to for the past month - which turned into far, far more than either of us had originally thought. I've (Whitney) been hammering on the ZooKeeper resto project and cabbaging as many tube swap candidates that I can find. Brent on the other hand has been BUSY.. so much so that I thought we'd have to split his updates out into a separate episode! Speaking of, he goes on the road for our first interview - New Years Eve @ The Place, Retro Arcade and not only talks with owner Cary Chaney and world-record holder Estel Goffinet (and laments why arcade games just don't seem to like him very much) as well as some of the most important (and often under-appreciated) people in the hobby - Arcade Wives!
In an interview double-header, we sit down with the guys from the Louisville Arcade Expo and cover what to expect from this years' show as well as catch up on general happenings in the show circuit and discuss the special guests (David Crane and more!) that will be making an appearance in Louisville in March 2015.

Episode 20 – Welcome To My InterventionMerry Christmas everyone!
This episode sees us amazing even ourselves on the sheer amount of content we can pack into a single month’s episode. In short, this month’s show should easily outlast even the longest of ‘Griswold-esque’ family get-togethers and equal about 2.7 stocking stuffers!
Episode 19 – The Village and the IdiotWe’re back in the studio to recap all things related to Pinball Expo 2014 where we run through all the announcements, give our thoughts on everything we saw and discuss the most notable parts of the show. We then discuss what we’ve been working on in-between travels over the past month and Brent recaps his progress on the Burgertime Project (the winner in the “Put Brent to work” poll) while Whitney finally (*finally*) gets one of the games he’s been after for years (a grail?!?!?) – Zoo Keeper!
We are fortunate this month, as we have two interviews – our first guest is Andrew Heighway of Heighway Pinball and we talk about all things related to Full Throttle and get some info on the upcoming Alien Pinball. Gerry Stellenberg of Multimorphic Pinball sits down with Brent for our second interview and discusses the P3 pinball platform while we get some scoop on Lexi Lightspeed and Cosmic Cart Racing!
We announce the winner of our first listener contest, play some voicemail, respond to some feedback and talk a bit about another upcoming Chicago trip where we go back to Stern for a factory tour!
All this and more and Brent finally gives us the answer to the question we never asked – purple. My answer was 42, so we had to come up with a compromise. ;) I don’t think Brent ever found his dancing shoes…
Episode 18 – Whole Lotta Pinball Going OnThis is part 3 of 3 of our coverage from Pinball Expo 2014. This episode is a recording of our livestream show on Saturday, October 18th, where we recap the weekend and talk through everything we’ve seen and what really sticks as we wrap up the expo. We talk about several of the more unique games at Expo, we give EM’s some love and talk about the afternoon’s autograph session (where Whitney goes all fanboi for Steve Richie).
We also spend some time talking to Patrick Wall from Gameroom Junkies to get his input on the expo as well as listener Shawn O’Shea - who gifted us with some awesome #FAARPARR shirts during the podcasters panel and was a big help to us over the weekend.
Episode 17 – So Much Canned Cheese… So Little Time…This is part 2 of 3 of our coverage from Pinball Expo 2014. This episode is a recording of the panel discussion we participated in entitled “Covering the World of Pinball, One Podcast at a Time”, held on Saturday October 18th. This was a moderated discussion led by Expo organizer David Fix.
Episode 16 – So Many Shiny ThingsThis is part 1 of 3 of our coverage from Pinball Expo 2014. This episode is a recording of our livestream show on Friday, October 17th. We take to the show floor and discuss the sights and sounds and score some great interviews in the process.

Episode 14 – Someone got a smoking deal…Brent and I return to the studio after several “shows on the road” as we settle back in front of the microphone and catch up on happenings since our last studio episode…which by my count is actually three episodes back… man… time does fly.
We recount the happenings from a few of our Cincinnati road trips as well as our closing thoughts on the 2014 edition of the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo. We also catch up on our latest acquisitions – which actually turned out to be far more than I think either of us expected - and we read through a good amount of listener e-mail and feedback, as well as talk about some of the latest news and discuss some reproduction parts. Keep the feedback coming as we really appreciate it and it helps the show tremendously!

Episode 12 – Live from SFGE 2014 – Talking with the Arcade Legends – Panel Discussion 2In this episode, we are live from the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo in Atlanta, GA where we have the privilege of hosting a panel discussion with several of the “Arcade Legends” in the scene today.
We delve into many topics on this panel and cover everything from what it takes to be a world-class gamer, to the inspiration behind the Twin Galaxies trading card program to some insight into the production of the movie “The King of Arcades” by Richie Knucklez.
We cover a lot of ground, so get ready for some really insightful discussion!
Episode 11 – Live from SFGE 2014 – Pimp Your Ride: Creating Custom Vids and PinsIn this episode of the podcast, Brent and Whitney are in Atlanta, GA for the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo and have the distinct privilege of hosting a panel discussion on the topic of what it takes to create custom arcade games and pinball titles in today's gaming industry.
We delve into game development. how to get published and make a name for yourself in this scene, as well as discuss Pinball development, Pinball 2000 modifications and how brand new games (and transforming existing games into new ones) gets done. You'll also hear the world debut of the breaking news – which was live at the expo – on the upcoming “Python’s Pinball Circus” "re-envisioning" (as in being made the way Python Anghelo wanted) that is being done by Circus Maximus!
Episode 10 – Live from The Place Retro Arcade with John Salter and Estel GoffinetWe take the show 'live on the road' to 'The Place, Retro Arcade' in Cincinnati, OH to talk world record-setting with Armor Attack marathon record holder John Salter and Donkey Kong contender Estel Goffinet.

Episode 07c – 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo – John Trudeau & Python Anghelo SeminarThis is the third of three ‘special episodes’ that encompasses (and concludes) our coverage of the 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo.
This show was recorded Saturday afternoon, March 8th 2014 and is the audio of the John Trudeau and Python Anghelo seminar session.
What makes this interview and seminar session so special is that this seminar turned out to be the last public appearance by Python before his passing on April 9th, 2014.
Episode 07b – 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo – Saturday Night Livestream ShowJoin us for this special live broadcast of the show direct from the floor of the 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo. This show was recorded on Saturday night, March 8th, 2014.
Episode 07a – 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo – Friday Night Livestream ShowJoin us for this special live broadcast of the show direct from the floor of the 2014 Louisville Arcade Expo. This show was recorded the night of Friday March 7th, 2014.
Episode 6a–The ‘kid’ in all of usWe are back with a special ‘mini-episode’ this week in preparation for the upcoming Louisville Arcade Expo that’s taking place this upcoming weekend, March 7th – 9th, 2014.
Episode 06 – What Time (Pilot) Is It?Brent and I venture into some new ground with the 6-month anniversary episode and respond to some listener requests by hosting the first of a series of editorial segments on ‘what is retro’ and ‘restored vs. refurbished vs. reproduction’ and discuss the merits of each and where we feel each topic has relevance in collecting and preserving our beloved games.
We also do some more in-depth coverage on what will be our first ‘podcast appearance’ with our booth at the Louisville Arcade Expo. We have lots of discussion around that topic as Brent and I will be hosting several panel discussions, doing some live streaming and recording some live interviews as well. We will also be taking up a collection for the GoFundMe drives for Barry Oursler and Python Anghelo.
We also spend some time talking about current project progress, artwork and parts reproduction parts coming available this month and anything else that we can cram in between segments!
Curious about the show title? We pimp Time Pilot no less than 20 times this month (in a number of points through the episode), so we only felt it proper to give back a little respect.
Episode 05 – Who’s BUGging us now?Episode #05 is epic, and I don’t know any other way to put it! Brent and I strap ourselves to the chairs in the recording studio and pretty much let it roll – show notes be damned!
We cover a lot of ground in this episode and there’s plenty of arcade and pinball content this month to please even the most discerning of collectors. Brent and I cover what we’ve been up to over the Christmas Holiday and New Years, talk through some current restoration project progress, visit an EPIC pinball game room with private collector Larry Pavey, talk through the latest available arcade reproduction parts, battle Brent being sick, perform an impromptu Battle Zone joystick grommet test and we even have our first ever ‘cross-podcast cameo’ with Charlie and Bug from the Spooky Pinball podcast!
There’s a lot more that I’ve left out, but you’ll have to listen to get it all! Speaking of that, be sure to swap out your Walkman batteries for a fresh set of Ray-O-Vacs , because this episode weighs in a little over 6 hours (Yep – SIX HOURS…. Brent and I were on a roll). How’s that for value, eh? Just leave a quarter on the toilet and don’t forget to wash your hands on the way out!
We had a pretty large ‘outtake’ selection for this month, so be sure to listen to the Spooky cameo and the end of the show – it’s worth it!

Episode 02 – Lay A Strap To ItWelcome back to episode #2 of the podcast! In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics – everything from classic board games, to pinball mods to moving games to ratchet straps (ah… ratchet straps) to accidentally trashing a classic *and* we have our first ‘in-studio’ interview! We’re grateful to have Ed Lutz, owner of Arcade Odyssey in Louisville, KY – a local arcade and pinball repair business - sit in for a discussion that spans the years and we get to learn a lot about the man behind the ‘elutz’ handle.

Hey Victor!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such kind words, and Brent and I both are very happy to hear that you are enjoying the show! Now that we know about your podcast, we’ll subscribe and begin taking up the back catalog and we’ll put you guys on a link exchange as well. It’s awesome to know we have listeners outside the US – makes us feel good that we are getting some reach!
Take care and thanks again!

Great podcast. There is absolutely no collecting community where I live. People either think my games are just “cool” or they think I am crazy for owning them. Nobody here gets it. You guys definitely get it. I only wish you were able to produce episodes weekly instead of monthly but they are much longer than other (no names mentioned) arcade related podcasts, so that makes up for it.

OregonPacman,
We’re glad you are listening to – and enjoying – the show and we’re happy to help you with a virtual collector community – and I’m glad that you are connecting with the show on the level you are. It’s good for us to hear that other folks are enjoying the format we have the show in and ‘get it’ along with us!
Brent and I have talked about upping the frequency of the show, but for now it would be too much work for us to handle. With the length of each show we are currently producing, there is a TON of backside work on producing each month and we like the fact that we’re able to deliver so much content – that is on point and consistent – each month. We’ll see what the future holds!
