Episode 412: Major Champions

“I think getting to the final four is like the hardest part in my opinion because the amount of like things you have to survive early on and like the like risky things you got to do you know like that's the tough part when you make final four i feel like it's easier to like lock in because you're there you're in the finals this is the time to perform right”

“I'm going to say the state of Colorado because I don't know if I can pick one person. There's a few there.”

“I think Iron Maiden's a great one just for learning drop catches, learning loop passes, things like that. It's really fun. I also think ACDC is one of my favorite just to like play and i think it's like that one is really good for like forcing you to play efficient”

“All I'm doing is I'm looking for like a kill shot, an end mode, where if I reach this point, like I just win. And every game has one, if you think about it...So finding your path to that kill shot as early as possible, that's what you try to do.”

“I've been trying for such a long time, you know, been playing competitively since I was eight years old. And, you know, last year I tried my best to get my first major, got top four in all three of them last year. But glad I put in that extra bit of effort this time and won it in June.”

“I wanted to be a world champion. I worked really hard for it in June for the IFPA and that will probably be my greatest win for a while.”

“It meant a lot to me. It was really cool having a tournament entirely in his honor. And at Interium, great job for a first-time event there.”

“Just, you know, knowing every game had to be stellar and knowing that no score was safe. So it was just kind of had to watch with clenched teeth, just like, what's going to happen?”

“I would say just have a plan, whether or not, you know, you think you're going to do the plan. It doesn't matter. Any plan is better than no plan. You know, know that you're going to go for X, Y, or Z, you know, multi-ball this, that, and just kind of focus and try to have a plan going into every ball.”

“I famously forgot the add-a-ball on Jaws in the Final Four at Papa. I forgot it existed. The commentator's like, oh, he's probably doing something. It's like, nope, I just forgot.”
