How much homework goes into a broadcast? How do you explain a game without talking over it? What do you do when absolutely nothing interesting is happening?Serge has a great perspective on the game from the other side of the glass, and this felt like a good excuse to finally get him on and talk about it. Plus he promised after I tricked him to play Bon Jovi after his trip to LA.🔺 Praise the Great Pyramid:📡 Twitch https://twitch.tv/dirtypoolpinball📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@dirtypoolpinball📷 Instagram https://instagram.com/dirtypoolpinball📘 Facebook https://facebook.com/dirtypoolpinball👕 Apparel https://www.dirtypoolpinball.com#pinball #dirtypoolpodcast #electricbat #pinballart #pinballcommunity #art #commentary
