In which I go out to SEA!!! Join me, lads, to the open waters whereabouts the rumblings be dark and beefy and the lungfish grow to a ripe old age. I talk pings and nuclear threats and then pop on a five year old (almost to the DAY) Chad Classic from the vault, perfect for any voyage.

Get up, it's 2025 and we're plungin in. You're not in the Birdcast anymore, the news is too bleak, it's too freaky out there so we decided to portal to Pinball City and totally took you with us, sorry. I'm goin all in on my love and allegiance to the silver ball with an entire month of pinball madness, hijacking your usual programming with my favorite thing you humans have ever done and also figure out what Irony actually is. Then we go back in time to April of last year when I dropped some hard history about Chicago and Pinball and decided that Chicago should henceforth be known as "Pinball City".

GET TO CLASS!

Check out the stream from this week, it was LIT!

I'm goin all in on my love and allegiance to the silver ball with an entire month of pinball madness, hijacking your usual programming with my favorite thing you humans have ever done and also take a moment for David Lynch. This week I climbed Pinball Mountain to the summit, to Stern Pinball HQ itself, humbled and honored, to hang out with the legends themselves: Brian Eddy, Dwight Sullivan and Chuck Ernst

I'm goin all in on my love and allegiance to the silver ball with an entire month of pinball madness, hijacking your usual programming with my favorite thing you humans have ever done and also probably dunk on Microsoft. This week I got to hang out with my good pals (and yours if you watch my pinball streams, which you should do) Arunas Ingaunis and Nicholas Davis of the illustrious Logan Arcade and we talked pins in depth so take notes! And then don't forget to vote Logan Arcade "Best Pinball Bar" of the 2025 TWIPY'S
