Kaneda's Pinball Podcast

"I do three shows a week. I stay on top of all the news, all the rumors, everything that's happening. I try to capture it. And then I do all this Facebook work and all the content and the lives for free."

Passionate defense of podcast quality and work ethic

"If there was a pinball manufacturing company in New York City that had manufacturing going on and people had been waiting for their games for over a year, I guarantee you, Kaneda would do a Facebook Live in which I would go to the company, knock on the door and see what happens. It is not illegal to do that."

Prediction: Kaneda would do a Facebook Live going to a pinball company to knock on their door and investigate if there was a manufacturing company in NYC with delayed games.

"I guarantee you I will shut my show off for a month for a month if we get to the end of this year there will be no Kaneda's pinball podcast between January one and the end of January I will shut my show off for a month if you c"

"I didn't cheat. I didn't buy votes. I haven't done anything but make 750 plus shows every single week, day in and day out. This is where you go to to get your news, rumors, and speculations about the pinball hobby. I don't quit on you. I don't talk about what I did over the weekend. I don't talk about what I had for breakfast."

"All this is coming very, very soon and I guarantee you I will be on top of it every single week giving you this show. If we get a teaser today, trust me, I will put the mic back on and I will talk about the teaser for Stern's game."

Prediction: He will continue providing weekly shows and will immediately cover any Stern game teasers that are released.

"I've enjoyed doing this show over the last six months more than I've enjoyed doing the show over the last six years. And I go back to being an expo and burning the hatchet with Zach Meny and just deciding that I love talking about pinball."

Kaneda is enjoying the podcast more than ever after reconciling with Zach and focusing on creative control

"And in five years from now, people are going to be saying we really miss Kaneda. They're not going to be saying how do I get a Halloween? It's not going to happen."

Prediction: In five years, people will miss Kaneda's podcast and won't be asking about Halloween pinball.

"I am going to go on the record and say I believe this is going to happen and you are going to see this and I am not going to change my mind on these things right now so what I say you can hold me accountable to these statements and I guarantee you I will get some of these correct and there might be a few that I get wrong"

Kaneda explains why his show is popular - it's entertaining and fun, not necessarily accurate

"This show is rooting for pinball machines to become more masterful like I want masterpieces... I want these companies to give you what you're paying so much money for"

"I'll correct you in one aspect. And I've heard you say this on a lot of the podcast where you use Jack's name... Jack may not have been the driving factor behind announcing Pirates when it was announced."

Kaneda keeps blaming Jack personally for business decisions

"I will say I think you should steer clear of comedy. I don't think that you're strong suit... To be honest, you're very funny on your own. You don't need to add jokes. You don't need to add laugh tracks."

Kaneda should avoid comedy - it's not his strong suit

"I didn't say what I'll do with that Oktoberfest. I buy, but I'll buy one. You heard it here first. I will buy it. I will buy it from Joe Newhart at pinball star. Or Chris from CoinTaker. One of whoever has it, I'll buy it."

"I want to give the honest answer that I think it's can be this pinball podcast... this show is so bad it's good though seriously like this show is so bad it's good"

Kaneda's Pinball Podcast is the worst pinball podcast

"All right, I will happily go on any of your shows and talk pinball with you and you'll see what'll happen It'll be a great dialogue. I guarantee you it'll be one of the best interviews you had"

Prediction: If other podcast hosts interviewed Kaneda, it would result in great dialogue and be one of their best interviews.

"Let's get all of them on to this podcast for some amazing banter out of the most prolific and outspoken pinball personalities out there on the forums. Let's see if they accept that challenge... because they've always got so many excuses, let's give them to the end of June to accept that offer."

Challenging other podcast hosts to accept a group interview or be exposed as making excuses

"I cover the entire pinball industry right no one has ever sent me anything to to indicate that there's any real problems at Jer"

"And if I came back on pinside, I guarantee I will stop the personal attacks. I will do it. It's the moderators that won't let me back on."

Prediction: If allowed back on Pinside, Kaneda will stop making personal attacks.

"They ignored him on purpose. Let's be honest. They ignored him on purpose. And he knows why. And he almost should have got ignored for what he, his constant tirade"

KPG should be ignored by Stern for his constant attacks and thread spam

"He went off on his own tirade and his rants against Stern consistently. I'm not sure where the relationship broke down with him and Gary Stern. Is it because he went on Pinside and constantly said how unhappy he was, and didn't give Stern a chance to solve the issue? Because he was talking to Gary. So I am, I would love to hear from KPG. At what point did Stern just cut off communication with you and did they say something to you? I really think his constant moaning and groaning on Pinside is what led Stern to sort of blacklist him."

KPG shot himself in the foot with constant ranting against Stern

"I also will not go into any J.J.P. threads about the Hobbit and do any trolling. So you have my word, you heard it here on the podcast, and I look forward to hearing you guys review the pin, which it sounds like will be in the middle of next month."

Prediction: Kaneda will not troll in J.J.P. threads about The Hobbit pinball.

"Negative three."

Kaneda will never become a Pinside moderator

"But this guy, come on KPG, you gotta stop. I don't know if you saw what he did recently, but he put up an open letter to Gary Stern. Two pages, I read it... Your obsession with getting your new playfield is gotta simmer down, bro."

KPG needs to stop his public campaign against Gary Stern

"kpg you should be fucking ashamed of yourself Gary Stern reached out and you didn't go right back to him you decided to turn the pinside"

"I will guarantee each and every one of you that has not joined the Kaneda Club that it is the best way you could spend $5 a month."

"he's only like how many pinball machines? Four and a magic fucking girl. And you guys listen to this guy, you consider him a credible source in the pinball fucking hobby"

Kaneda only owns four pinball machines including Magic Girl and has no credibility to host a pinball podcast
