Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

I thought it said tilt, tilt.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

So that's the natural consequence if you move it too much.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

So you got to know the sort of cadence of the game in order to move it how you need to.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

Because sometimes the ball is coming straight down the middle.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

You got to do something.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

Well, there's one thing you can do is give that game a good shake and then you can make it happen.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

So if I shake it, it won't say tilt?

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

You might if you do it too hard.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

Yes, yes.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

You got to have like that finesse.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

But yeah, but the patience element that I wanted to mention was in terms of, you know, when the ball comes to the flippers, I think it's very, and I'll demonstrate here, is that as soon as it gets down there, you just start going crazy.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

You're just trying to get the ball right back up to the top, which is, you know, natural inclination.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

A lot of times, one of the key skills I think you want to build is what's called the dead flip.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

And the dead flip is essentially you watch that ball.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

If you see that's coming to one of the flippers, you let it strike that flipper without flipping and let the natural carom of the ball go to the other flipper.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

And maybe even you hold that ball, then you can cradle it, you know, hold it in sort of stationary position or, you know, just at least get a slower shot off.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

So you can control your pace of play.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

So you cradle the ball.

Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Limp Paddle With Special Guest D’Arcy Carden

You can cradle the ball, yes.

And then, yeah, you figure out that sweet spot on the flipper.
