Hey Goofenbachers,
A bit of a different vibe this week. Instead of READING an article, you’ll be tasked with LISTENING to a podcast. Can you handle it? We won’t be sure until we get done with this thing. If you start to feel queasy or want to get off this ride — tough shit!
Wormhole Pinball is an arcade in Houston, TX — a notorious pinball party hub. Over the last few months, they’ve also developed a helluva podcast and production studio. They helped premiere BoF’s Labyrinth. They’ve interviewed tons of pinball notables and wanted the Nudge treatment. And when I say they “wanted it” I mean that I “emailed them until they let me on.”
That said, Jamie and Donovan couldn’t have been cooler — and they’re literally the first people to research Nudge before having us on, so that felt professional. What follows is a winding interview that will teach you the murky origins of No Days Off, why our Hardbody Shoot was so fun, and why we get such good contributors to the mag. Enjoy!
Here are a few reference pics for those who don’t know what hardbody is.
Enjoy!

Next week? Pros are cool?
Rick Brewster about to drop into your inbox with an answer to the eternal argument: are pros ACKSHUALLY better than premiums? Until then, NO DAYS OFF.
