Dirty Pool Podcast - Ep37 - Serge from Electric Bat - The Art of Pinball Commentary

That's not the screen we want.

[laughs] Hello everybody, what's going on? Welcome to another episode of the Dirty Pool Podcast.

I am joined by none other than the esteemed Surge from the Electric Bat.

Uh, you know him, you love him.

What's up, Surge? Pork chop sandwich.

How you doing, Jeff? What's going on? Good to be here.

Not much.

Oh, that reminds me, I gotta turn off rewards for our interviews, 'cause we don't roll that way with interviews.

Um, so today we're talking about commentary, and specifically we're talking about commentary during the most important- It's live ... element of, uh, pinball.

It's, it's, it's when you do a tournament stream.

And you are by far, hands down, the best commentator on the internet, and I'm saying it right now, there's, there is none other.

It's you.

Well, first of all, thank you for saying such nice things, Jeff.

They, they make me deeply uncomfortable, you should know, because I don't know what to do with compliments by my personality.

But I do sincerely appreciate that, and, and I also think about, uh, great commentators that I admire, like Steve Boitin and Colin McAlpine and, you know, doing the commentary for the IFPA World Championship just a few weeks ago.

And if I could reach the small fraction of what they bring, I will consider that a great achievement.
