The Lents Pinball Pinball Podcast

Late night ramblings from an insane man who plays pinball.

More on the retro game market, and the Oregon city game lot

4 years ago today I started operating pinballs.

I adventured after work to look at five games to purchase. It didn’t go well. Got some GCs tonight.

Pinball is tough all over

Beach, camping trip and a new game. Fun weekend picking up at Williams.

Title by Nikki G the stinky poor

Nikki G is a wedge head fanatic and has a lot of love for the gator queens., the G might just stand for gator. The thumbnail is me getting the high score on team one.

I’m now operating 21 games! That’s the most I’ve ever had out in public in the history of the business!

Olympia trip and a clogged ear. Freaky Fridayed phone call.

Wet head dog and a private party at Wedgehead.

Past due Nikkisode. Deadline not met, but she’s not fired. Yet. Coming to you a few days post recording.

This episode is brought to you by Coca Cola and The Ambulance Company. Mad respect and fresh sips.

Part 2 is you can’t read French.

Harold went poo and I accidentally ended the recording. First two parter!

Road tripping baby listening to Nathaniel Ray live the night sweats. If you’re jealous get over it. Talk to text for this while I drive to Seattle.

Lents Pinball Party at my place Nov first.

The Bally King, Ty Palmer complimented my games. The Postman reference about Tom Petty happens in the sode.

Lents Pinball Pinball Podcast greatest hits episode. Death.flip has shipped! #2 coming soon.

I keep forgetting to mention this, but Nikki is now an official cohost of the podcast. At least for 50 episodes which is when her contract is up for renewal. She is traveling now and we will be putting out some solo sodes documenting her out and about flipping pinballs.

Things I forgot to mention in this long ass sode. -Apprentice is now a cohost of this podcast and will be putting out a few solo episodes while in Seattle this week. I legally retain all ownership of this podcast. -Lents Pinball is hosting a retro gaming market at the Zed on October 5th. More details coming soon. -I swear too much in this sode and a going to work on cleaning that up. -Thumbnail for the ep is Nikki G in action under the hood of Charlie’s Angels.

My neighbors house caught on fire! I fixed my sink. Nikki shopped Charles’ Angels.

I lied to y’all originally, but it wasn’t a lie at the time. I said I was gonna bring 8 ball champ to ground kontrol. I had an issue and couldn’t bring it. So high hand came instead.

Nathan and Nikki G go back for another pinball machine! Today’s roadtrip playlist includes Get Ur Freakin On by Missy Elliot, Sunday Morning by Margo Guryan, and The Drum by Ohama!

We picked up a CA and are headed home feeling like pinball royalty.

Here are a few of the cool songs we listened to on our drive: London by Noonday Underground; On The Beach by Neil Young; Police and Thieves by The Clash. Add these to your playlist if you went people to think you’re cool.

Nathan Stellhorn, me, the host of this dang thing talks about the Portland Royal rumble and some Pinball history. Then I cleverly titled the episode after an OutKast song in the form of a Natalie portmanteau. I’m on fire today.

Harold just ate something off the sidewalk. I talk about the new sponsor in this episode and that I did an update on Reddit. The episode thumbnail is my Apprentice, Oscar, and Emily all from Lents Pinball flipping at Roscoes last night. I was on the hunt for the shadows GC and I got it.

Just walking Harold.

Nate and Harold are walking and needs talking about a bunch of stuff. It’s mostly stuff that happened at the PNW classics clash.

Nate found some windows in the dumpster while walking Harold and also talks about death. Flip.

I forget to do all the regular podcast stuff and then ramble about death flip prints being ready.

No notes today.

My apprentice is on this episode. She is the best. Probably the coolest part of Lents Pinball.

It was actually a premium not an LE!

I’m going to pick up a Led Zeppelin. In this episode, I talk about it. When I was a kid, I used to like it when this jockey is on the radio would say “and now he’s a little Led for your head” that’s why I chose that title for the episode.

Fixed Police Force for Mitch and fam. I crushed the GC on King Kong at Wedgehead last night. That’s the image I’m using for this episode.

Headed to work on a league players new Police Force!

I found a Snoop Dogg and Tupac poster on my walk with Harold.

I think Kurt Vile was on the Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse tour and just left it maybe ended their summer tour. The flaming lips canceled shows today because of some kind of family emergency and I have tickets to the Modest Mouse Foaming Lips shows next month here in Portland. I hope everybody’s OK. In this episode, Nate airs out his frustrations with Black Knight, swords of rage and being tricked by the Left Out Lane ball save flashing, but then not getting a ball save. Y’all I have to learn that you only get that if the insert is lit solid. The image for this episode is a picture of the wood that I found to make those shelves from the picture from the last episode.

I’m going to start telling stories on the podcast about Portland Pinball of the past. The people, the events, the venues, the interesting stuff and none of a not interesting stuff. First stories about how I met, my friend Terry. The dude is a Portland Pinball legend. The image for this episode is of some shelves that I built yesterday. Live edge redwood that I found on the side of the road. I didn’t have any other pictures to add to the episode so that’s what you get.

I think more people should have little tiny micro podcasts like the Lents Pinball Pinball Podcast. Small things are cute.

Harold is ok. Nate has that gene where you stay calm in tense situations and protected his baby pup. Chris Coyle is a local Portland pinball legend.

Night walking

No ramps, No Ball Saves, No Bullshit

Harold and I go on a walk. I have pockets full of apples to take home and juice. I forgot to explain to listeners that this podcast is always over in under 3 minutes and now I have extreme anxiety that listeners will be confused as to why the podcast was so short.

Gortlieb is fan fiction. There is a currently a Gortlieb coloring contest happening in Lents.

Harold went to Big Eddy on the Washougal.

Huge win at the wing off with the Gortlieb Dill pickle wings! The Lents Pinball Apprentice Nikkie makes her first appearance on the podcast. Rad gal.
