Notable quotes
“There's a reason Hardcore History only puts out like two a year... It's a great show by the way. Check out Hardcore History. It's my favorite podcast. It's nice to have a favorite podcast that only puts out a couple of times a year.”
“I lean into [being wrong] a lot as I'm going down on the discourse... That's his thing. It's a perfectly valid thing.”
“We're more niche than a standard video game podcast would be or a pinball podcast would be, and that's what we accepted going into this.”
“The goal of the Italian bottom is being met... that's why I gave it its own category”
“I feel like I need to write it [the Italian Bottom article] now before we start a whole new wave of people thinking that anything that doesn't have two symmetrical slings is not an Italian bottom”
