Notable quotes

“I released it prematurely. I was playing with one of the other podcasts, putting it together, and unfortunately I pressed the button I probably shouldn't have.”
George
“I wanted to blow Chicago up.”
Dave Christensen (quoted)
“We can do it again to talk about other classic pins. We got into arcade games. We can talk about classic and add-a-ball games.”
Dave Marston (quoted)
“I'm not going to be mean when you have a game for sale. I'm not going to be mean and trash on it because I think it makes it harder for you to sell the game.”
George
“Do you think a four-hour layoff hurt the guy? Yeah, of course it did. You got cold.”
Dave
“Shoot it up the middle. No. Do you think either our audience is saluting you or shutting off the podcast?”
George and Dave
“There's a town in New Jersey called Wycoff, and the phrase always was... Wycoff when you can sneeze.”
Dave
“I'm honest. I don't mean them any ill will. I'm just pointing out certain things.”
George
