Episode 288: TWIP Pinball University

“We're trying to bring new people into the hobby and trying to grow the hobby, going into Pinball University with kind of the idea that there's no stupid questions. We were all super new at one point.”

“pinball has, I think one of the big areas that pinball can improve a ton is to be more friendly to beginners. Because it is, it's a tough hobby to get into.”

“I can't believe that Gary Stern had mentioned on that WGN interview that there were some 5,000-plus back orders. That had me a little concerned. That's incredible. Sam Stern, which is the master of manufacturing, if they're that backlogged...that's pretty telling.”

“my favorite part of the weekend...it was just having it feel normal for a while. Like we were traveling during the pandemic...just to go down and play pinball and see people and just talk pinball...it was one of those unforgettable experiences.”

“if you have a podcast or Twitch stream or website that you frequent, that you find value in, please support those people because we talk about the good old days with Coast to Coast or Head to Head or whatever podcast. And at some point, I don't want us to be talking about the good old days with Pinball Profile or Twip or Pinside.”
