Pinball Expo

"There's a reason why they're marketing, why do you think they're marketing labyrinth at Expo? Think about that for a minute. Just why do you think they're like marketing labyrinth at pinball Expo, the old game?"

"Can say that, Kaneda, please don't come to pinball expo Kaneda. Manufacturers don't want you there, Kaneda."

"Rolling around Expo as the Kaneda army. Let's show Rob Burke that there's a lot more people that are excited about my presence than who don't want me there."

"Probably 99% of the show. Only Rob Burke don't want Kaneda at the show, but Rob hasn't spoken to me recently about not going. So I guess that's a good sign. I'm just gonna take the silence around my attendance as a good thing."

"I can't wait and get ready for Pinball Expo. We're going to have a lot of fun there. Rolling around Expo as the Kaneda army. Let's show Rob Burke that there's a lot more people that are excited about my presence than who don't want me there."

"So as we head into Pinball Expo in just two weeks, I will be there. If you are going to the show, let's do this. I'm absolutely gonna organize a hangout, a happy hour, I always do. I'm absolutely gonna pick up the tab for some Kaneda fans or all the Kaneda fans that are there."

"All right, everybody. Thank you for being a member of Kaneda's Pinball Podcast. More shows are always coming. We're definitely going to be back for the Saturday morning spectacular. I can't wait and get ready for Pinball Expo. We're going to have a lot of fun there."

"And the crowd, my gosh, the crowd of these seminars, dead. Dead. They just sit there. You know, I've been to seminars, man, where people should have been standing up and booing people off the stage."

"I wanna be on my best behavior over the next two weeks, so I don't do something stupid that makes them not want me at the show again. I have already been asked not to attend a few times, but I'm going, my tickets are booked"

"That's what you're dealing with, with pinheads in person. You know, it's funny when you read Pinside and everybody's so tough. Everybody's so stride and everybody's convictions are so loud and proud on Pinside. And you know what? When you see these guys in person, they're in the corner wearing the cargo shorts."

"These hour-long seminars at Pinball Expo are inane. Have you been to them? Like, they sit there, hey guys, is the microphone working? Let's upload this PowerPoint slide that we spent no time on"

"And I think we're going to see a teaser for Beetlejuice at Expo. I think that's going to start to get people very excited."

"The Walking Dead Remastereded in a month at Pinball Expo. Is that going to save the day? Will that game and all of its full Spike 3 glory win us over? I don't think that's going to be the answer."

"So speaking of panic modes, I know I said that there is a possibility. And again, none of this, none of this is confirmed, but there is a possibility that we are not going to see Big Bang Bar at Pinball Expo."

"If you just throw it on the show floor, trust me. You're going to have the same lukewarm response and sales that avatar had."

"If you want to sell doon machines at pinball Expo and give people the cinematic experience to like really see how your game is like playing the movie, you cannot just have the game on the loud show floor and have that experience be interrupted by the noise and the distractions of a show."

"Like if expo doesn't become like a watershed moment for them, I hope that's the right phrase. I think they're in trouble because then, you know, but the problem is, you know, now they're going to be up against Star Wars and the Walking Dead Remastereded."

"You guys need to get a private section at pinball Expo. Have a doon room. Have a doon room that is pitch black where this game can come to life."

"When I went to Expo last year it was a lot of fun and what Rob doesn't get is this and this is a point about a lot of these Kaneda haters. I always ask them one question. Do you even listen to the show?"

"I'm a 48 year old man who's made 1132 podcasts about Pinball. I think I've earned the right to go to your pinball show. I'm not going to cause any drama. I'm not going to get in a fight with anybody."

"You know like look you're going to watch the way Kaneda rolls through a show is nothing but good vibes. It's nothing but good times. And we're going to figure this out. We're going to get some dinners going."

"I was telling Melvin we're not going to waste our time like every minute in Schlomburg wherever the heck it is. We're going to go find a really nice omokase restaurant in Chicago. I'd rather take a 40 minute Uber and have an epic meal with some of you guys out there."

"This is not even a rumor that Kaneda is trying to be kept from Pinball Expo. It is true... I'm a 48 year old man who's made 1132 podcasts about Pinball. I think I've earned the right to go to your pinball show."

Being blocked from attending Pinball Expo

"Now look I know there was a rumor. This is not even a rumor that Kaneda is trying to be kept from Pinball Expo. It is true. It's true. Like I literally have been going back and forth with Rob Burke."

"I'm here to confirm for each and every one of you that Big Bang Bar is coming back. It will most likely be revealed to the world this year, maybe as early as Pinball Expo in October."

"It will most likely be revealed to the world this year, maybe as early as Pinball Expo in October."

"Yeah, I did get a correspondence from the organizer of pinball expo to not go to expo. It was, you know, it was like, there's a little like weird."

"So I highly doubt that JJP would be opposed to my presence at expo. So, you know, and he was kind of like, yeah, you know, let me, let me check."

"But you know, I told Rob was like, dude, I just, I literally just hung out with Brett Abyss. So I highly doubt that JJP would be opposed to my presence at expo."

"So he was like Chris, I'm going to have, you know, I want to ask you to like respectfully not come to expo because of people's not wanting you there. So you know, I didn't fly up the handle. I just called him."

"And he, he was very nice. You know, he said that it was Jersey Jack who had the issue with me being there, which I was confused by because I was just trying to think like."

"I could care less, I could care less about lapping the floor, playing games where you can't hear them, it's the worst environment ever to experience pinball, it's the best environment ever to get wasted with your pinball friends"

"now will I go to pinball expo, maybe, do I care about it that much, not really, and do I revolve my life around pinball shows, not at all, the only reason I want to go is to hang out with each and every one of you, that is going"

"I could care less about lapping the floor, playing games where you can't hear them, it's the worst environment ever to experience pinball, it's the best environment ever to get wasted with your pinball friends"

"you know what they said to me, they said that the reason why they didn't want me there was because Jersey Jack pinball complained about me, and I was like wow that's that's strange, and I told them, I'm like you might want to check on that, because two weeks ago I was having 21 year old whiskey with Brett Abbas"

"I got a note where they were trying to keep me out of pinball expo yesterday, I got some correspondence that was like, we would really appreciate you not coming to the show"

Someone tried to ban Kaneda from Pinball Expo claiming Jersey Jack complained

"by the way, I got a note where they were trying to keep me out of pinball expo yesterday, I got some correspondence that was like, we would really appreciate you not coming to the show, and I was like what, wait why, like I went last year, it was really cordial, there were no issues"

"So they'll make thousands of them by the time pinball expo rolls around."

"And so, you know, I think for most of us, the first time we're going to play this game might be at Pinball Expo."

"I wasn't sure I could go Eric is going. It's an expensive flight. We were going to do a Kaneda fundraiser to raise a ticket to get me to Australia."

"Melbourne pinball Expo. What's up guys? They gave my seat to Eric Meunier. No, they did it guys they invited me to pinball Expo."

"I think if we set up a Kaneda go fun me because you know you know my my my fans have raised money for a lot worse causes we could probably knock that in half."

"It was it was other enthusiasts over there they want me to come to the show premium economy now in premium economy do you can you lie down like I what how nice is I because some planes are different some planes you know I just need to go flat though."

"I think if we set up a Kaneda go fund me because you know you know my my my fans have raised money for a lot worse causes we could probably knock that in half."

"he got paid in a Harry Potter CE to make the launch video that's 15k and you're telling me what would be more entertaining Kaneda in Australia or Ralph's video with the keys in the backbox we saw the keys."

"and I love Australia so I got invited to go to the Australian pinball expo and I need to get back to these guys but I guess the thing is this how do I can ask you guys and don't tell them I said this how do I explain to my friends who invited me that I just don't think I could do like a 16 to 18 hour flight in coach"

"think about this and Stern won't even fly me to Chicago think about that they will fly me to Australia and Stern won't fly me to Chicago"

"these guys will fly me to Australia right think about this and Stern won't even fly me to Chicago think about that they will fly me to Australia and Stern won't fly me to Chicago"
