The following is an archived podcast presented by the Branson and Hudson Foundation for

podcast recovery. This podcast is entitled The King of Coins, the Legend of Jimmy Salts. It is the first

and only episode of the podcast. Welcome to episode one. Welcome to King of Coins, the legend of Jimmy

Salts. My name is Ron Solo. In 1983, on this very day, our good friend Jimmy

Salts died in an unfortunate accident slash murder. Jimmy Saults was at the time the greatest

gamer in all of Three Pumpkins, California, and probably all the world.

I was part of a crew of teens that frequented our local arcade, the Coin King.

When you walked by all the machines, you knew who was top dog.

K-U-M.

That was Jimmy Salt's trademark top score initials, and his name topped every high score in the place.

Gallagher, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong, Senior, Gattaca. It was a game first.

Here to help me explain the legend of Jimmy Salts. I'm joined by two of my closest friends,

two friends of Jimmy. First is local legend,

Bomb Pop, aka Thomas Harding, but we all call them Bomb Pop.

Bomb Pop, thanks for joining us, man.

Hey, Ron, I'm glad to see you, boys again.

You know, this day's always a sad time, but, you know, it's also a time that just

really makes me think about the best part of my life, which was being a kid.

I know, I know.

It's always good to get back together, a little bittersweet.

My second guest is the second best gamer I've ever seen

in one of Jimmy's closest friends.
