Hey folks! Here's that live show. As you may remember, last year we talked to Crazy Levi Nayman about the history of pinball and a very strange company that rose and fell over the last few years. That episode can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/emergency-pod-56023528  This year, we've followed up with Pinside poster Blueberry Johnson to talk about the ruins and remains of what was once Deeproot Pinball, and handed out some Deeproot T-shirts we got at a liquidation auction.   Deeproot thread on Pinside: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/twip-is-deeproot-the-next-misadventure-or-a-pinball-revolution TWOAPW Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WorstOfAll  Theme by Brendan Dalton www.brendan-dalton.com https://brendandalton.bandcamp.com

Topics include the rampant Islamophobia of the early 2000s, the logistics of ski mask ownership in Los Angeles, and the ticking time-bomb of imprinting Jack Bauer’s ideology onto the American psyche.
