So it's a little bit north of me because I'm in Mountain View.

San Francisco is about 38 miles north.

Not to be exact.

But the Pinball League, 100 people, we all compete at this lovely print shop that has 50 pinball machines in the front by the name Free Gold Watch.

If you go to San Francisco in the Haight-Ashbury, please go check it out.

It's wonderful.

But yeah, it's a it's a match play style of competition where you are randomly put into like, let's say if this was our group of four, you play five games over the course of the night, you get points based on how you finish each game.

So we play the first game Conan, you get the best score Darcy, you get the second best score 7531.

So you accumulate those points.

There's a big finals at the end.

And we actually have a former world champion in our league who won the big enchilada back in 2013.

No, no, I'm kidding.

Well, I think the biggest thing, I think that one of the biggest things that I tell people sort of, you know, to try to break down pinball into, I think, what is a key element is patience.

And I think one of the things that a lot of people do, you know, for most people, it is a very random thing, right?

You play pinball, you put your money in, the ball goes, it kind of goes where it goes.

You're sort of at the whim of physics.

Well, not necessarily.

So, and this is something I also wanted to talk about is, you know, a lot of people think that you are not allowed, like that it's cheating to move the table, right?

Not against the rules.

You can do stuff to the table?
