"And now I'm not surprised. I mean, he's bought a lot of games recently, and he seems to buy a lot. Now, he's also sponsored by Mad Pinball, which is a distributor. So I highly doubt that Don is paying 13,000 for it. [...] And that's part of what you don't hear him really talking about it very much, which is I don't usually he's much more like enthusiastic about his purchases."

"This man is put in the hard work and Don over at Don's Pinball Podcast. He is the only guy after all these years when Kaneda's been winning. He's the only guy that came out and followed the same playbook. [...] You do like two to three shows a week and they're like 20 minutes long. That's what Don does. Go on Facebook Live. That's what Don does. Let people into your home. That's what Don does. [...] everything I've done, Don has followed it and guess what people? I'm not mad about that. It works. It's smart and he's enjoying himself and that's the way you should do it."

Kaneda praises Don for copying his successful podcast format and approach, saying he's not mad about it because it works.

"I told him, I'm like, bro, you're getting some credibility and then you make a move like this. You don't want to do it. [...] It's like being a pinball poser. It's just, you don't do it. [...] It's like kids are used to put the V8 emblems on their Mustangs when it was a V6. It's like, who are you fooling? You're just making yourself look silly."

Kaneda calls Don's pinball modification move something that makes him look like a 'pinball poser' and damages his credibility.

"We're going to end this episode with a moment of silence for Don over at Don's Pinball podcast. I was ribbing him today. By the way, we're friends. This is all ingest, so don't be like, oh, Kaneda, it's his game. [...] Don took his Elvira. I think it was an Elvira premium because there were no pros. He had it transformed into a makeshift Elvira 40th edition game. Only problem is it's not the accurate decals from Elvira 40th. And so the Lollipop rails are going over her name and it's just something that I don't think anyone should ever do."

Kaneda is playfully criticizing Don for modifying his Elvira pinball machine with inaccurate decals to make it look like a different edition.

"This is Don's pinball Podcast. Don, I gotcha. I gotcha. Don's been going live to like eight views. Eight viewers. Eight viewers. We got over 100. Saturday morning, Don. Don, nobody wants to spend 90 minutes on a Friday night listening to you. Look at yourself. Because we can feel you looking at yourself. It's like you're catching yourself in the mirror. You got to get comfortable. You got to know what you look like, Don. We know what you look like. I love you, brother. Keep up the good work. Don's at over $40 a month now. He's got... He's climbing. He's climbing."

"Don's fun because he captures, he's got that sort of neo-fight"

Kaneda begins to explain why Don is entertaining, mentioning he has a certain fighting style or attitude.

"Don has been wasting his time with merchandise nobody wants. Don, what are you doing? Don, why are you selling $25 T-shirts to get back like $3.75? Just give it up, Don. No one's gonna be buying your merch."

Kaneda criticizes Don for wasting time on merchandise that nobody wants and advises him to give up on selling merch.

"I mean look, two days from now you're going to get a new show from Don's pinball podcast because after I do my show he just does another show where he does my show in a much nicer way. Don, I love you, but see now you're going to do this. He's got no rumors."

Kaneda suggests Don's Pinball Podcast copies his show format but presents it more nicely, while noting Don lacks rumors/scoops

"Don's pinball podcast is here Don welcome to the party brother. I'm enjoying the content you guys are not listening to Don I highly recommend it.

"You don't even know anything about pinball yet. You're like, you think Andrew McBain is like a good guy? He's not. Like seriously, you change the decals on your alibi."
