- Stern's Batman 66 pinball machine is 'a fucking snooze fest' with boring jazz music and poor shot design.

Notable quotes
“I can say without it coming across as conceited, that it was one of, if not the best podcast ever.”
“I'm a dealer, right? Let's cut the bullshit. I'm a dealer. I make money. I make a livelihood in pinball, selling pinball machines. Period.”
“I think Stern's Batman 66 is a fucking snooze fest. It's boring. It's jazz music. None of the shots are great.”
“The problem is what if I really believe that toppers are cool or that Stranger Things is great because I do. That's the problem that I always face.”
“Not one manufacturer has ever reached out to me to say, hey, wait a minute. We're putting you in the icebox. No, not once because I think we have a mutual respect and understanding.”
“You out of your mind? What are you doing? Why would you pull something that is doing so well helping you?”
“I quit my day job as a psychologist because of it.”
“When people recognize the best is when people think that a really highly paid production company did it or the company themselves did it. And they just kind of blow over and they're like, oh, I love what Jersey Jack did there. And we're like, that was us.”
