Voicemail Dump Truck You Gotta Get a Guy With Ben and Jeff

This message is for Jeff Bakalar only: Don't get a pinball table.

If you think the GIant Bombcast spends too much time talking about Not Video Games, you're going to hate this thing.

There's nothing I want more in this world than to own a pinball table

This sure is the weirdest way for them to just send a message to Jeff Bakalar

Buy a pinball machine, but expect to put a lot of time into repairing it yourself or money to hire somebody to do it for you.

I own multiple pinball machines and the maintenance isn't that bad, especially with modern games. The key is to buy a game that doesn't have a lot, or any issues. If you buy a game that looks beat expect to put more time into it.

I always wanted a pinball machine until I worked at a retro arcade. Now I'm convinced that, when pinball machines actually function correctly, it's by pure chance. Their natural state is "completely broken".

I have five pinball machines and picking up 3 more in a few months. They’re awesome when your wife is on board.

They’re not that difficult to work on. Then again, I’m an engineer

I'm still looking forward to Ready Player One weirdly enough. Maybe that's because I've stopped taking video games so seriously.

Jeff's voice is too low in the mix.

@wiseblood: I was just thinking that a few days ago.

@toparaman: I've found a lot of the aftershow podcasts to be way too quiet. Any reason for this, @jeff?
