Greg Bone is back from vacation, and just in time for Episode 31 of the Flip N Out Pinball Podcast!

Ken and Greg had originally planned to coordinate this episode with Stern Pinball's official reveal of AC/DC Remastered. Unfortunately, the anticipated reveal never happened! The guys discuss the unexpected delay, the challenges of coordinating a major product launch during Pinball Expo, and what they're hoping to see when the game finally arrives.

Speaking of Pinball Expo, Ken and Greg preview the 2026 event and discuss the incredible lineup of games attendees may have an opportunity to play, including Cirqus Voltaire, Sonic the Hedgehog, Bon Jovi, Fallout, and more. Ken also shares where you can find the Flip N Out crew during the show.

Fright N Out October continues with an update on our Halloween festivities! Our Elvira Facebook post is approaching 40,000 views! The guys also discuss whether a modern Tales from the Crypt pinball machine deserves another shot.

We've also been listening to your feedback! Ken introduces Custom Callouts, a new way for listeners to submit questions, comments, and show suggestions that could be featured in future episodes.

And before we say goodbye, turn down the lights for the second installment of our original Fright N Out pinball horror stories!

Thanks for listening, and don't forget to take some time out of your day and play some pinball!

Greg has apparently mastered his first magic trick: the disappearing act.

With Greg off on vacation, Ken is flying solo this week with a packed episode of the Flip N Out Pinball Podcast.

Then Ken gets a little more thoughtful about something that came up this week: what does it actually mean to be a valued customer? Price and discounts are easy to see, but there's a whole lot of value in a good distributor relationship that never shows up on an invoice. Ken shares his perspective from both sides of the counter, including customer expectations, loyalty, trust, service after the sale, and why sometimes the best advice he can give a potential customer is to keep buying from the distributor they already have.

October has arrived, which means the Flip N Out Pinball Podcast officially becomes FRIGHT N OUT!

Turn down the lights as we close the show with the first tale from Fright N Out:

Grandpa's Pinball Machine

Something has been sitting quietly in that basement for a very long time.

Maybe it wasn't as quiet as everyone thought.

And finally...

Ken provides updates on games currently in stock, what's shipping now, and what customers can expect in the weeks ahead.

With the final months of 2026 upon us, Ken and Greg break out the crystal ball and take a look at what the pinball industry might still have up its sleeve before the year comes to a close.

The guys start with the reaction to Stern Pinball's Fallout before working their way around the industry, talking production schedules, rumored titles, possible remasters, upcoming releases and what we could see from Stern, Jersey Jack Pinball, Spooky Pinball, Barrels of Fun, American Pinball, Multimorphic, Pedretti Gaming and more.

Could Stern have another remastered title coming? What games deserve the remake treatment? Could a Treehouse of Horror version of The Simpsons Pinball Party be the greatest idea nobody asked for? And just how many NEW pinball titles will be announced before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve?

Ken and Greg set the over/under, make their predictions and probably create a few rumors along the way.

It's Episode 29 of the Flip N Out Pinball Podcast: Pinball's Year-End Crystal Ball!

American Pinball has officially pulled back the curtain on its reimagining of the Bally classic Cirqus Voltaire! Ken and Greg take a first look at both the Classic and Ringmaster Editions, break down what's new, talk pricing, features, artwork, and that wild interactive topper, and share their initial reactions to this new chapter for American Pinball.

Classic or Ringmaster? Let's talk about it.

Ken and Greg are back from a road trip to Spooky Pinball, and while there are plenty of things they can't talk about just yet, they can at least say they left Benton with smiles on their faces.

The guys recap the trip, talk about what's happening behind the scenes at Spooky, give some love to Luke and the crew, and revisit an incredible night that ended with someone walking away with a FREE Beetlejuice pinball machine.

Plus, Keith Elwin dropped a very interesting Total Recall image this morning. Is Stern making a Total Recall pinball machine...or is Keith trying to tell us something else? Ken did a little detective work, and two words might explain the whole thing: two weeks.

There's also some Patreon talk, pinball news, terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions, and the usual assortment of nonsense!

Three new games. Two days. Plenty of opinions.

This week we're catching up after one of the wildest stretches the pinball industry has seen all year. We dive into the launches of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Ender's Game, and Bon Jovi, discuss why some first impressions completely changed after seeing the games in action, recap the buzz coming out of Gen Con and Southern Fried Gaming Expo, and touch on Sonic's momentum, new announcements from American Pinball, and what could be next for the hobby.

It's an honest, unscripted conversation with a few laughs mixed in, just the way we like it.

Barrels of Fun has officially revealed Bon Jovi Pinball, and before the game makes its public debut, we sat down with Founder, CEO, and Game Designer David Van Es, along with Prototype Engineer Luke Underwood, to learn the story behind the machine.

In this interview, David and Luke discuss:

• How Bon Jovi became Barrels of Fun's next title
• The creative process behind designing the game
• Translating one of the world's biggest rock bands into pinball
• Gameplay philosophy, flow, and unique playfield features
• The music, artwork, lighting, and audio experience
• What players can expect when they step up to Bon Jovi for the very first time

This conversation gives the designers an opportunity to explain the vision behind the game in their own words.
