Notable quotes
“I'll have to get a spinal fusion at some point, listener. for those of you that know the difference between all the different surgeries for the backs.”
“I think the 500s still sell out really no matter what happens with the pricing. But what I think it does is it gives people a context, a number that they're going to compare it to.”
“I think Stern sets the floor whether they mean to or not. I think they end up saying the floor.”
“people have very short memories for shit that they really want... I don't think it hurts anybody. I don't think it hurts a dealer when he jacked up the prices”
“It's the game that I would take to a desert island with me I'll tell you that right now”
“there may be some structural decisions. I don't think he's going to change on the cornerstones and stuff, but there might be some shuffling around.”
“Second place is the first non-winner.”
