Notable quotes
“Numbers don't lie, is what they say”
“I was overwhelmed. I didn't see that coming to that level.”
“PMT didn't even win an award. PMT became an award. How about that? That's when you know when you transcend popularity there.”
“Well, speaking of coming, with the holiday season here and the last segment of the year, I'd like to personally thank all of our faithful listeners for tuning in week in and week out”
“Spooky took the straight-down-the-middle approach, appealing to their horror-themed fanbase with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and also a more family-friendly theme of Looney Tunes”
“I think Spooky may have two home runs on their hands with these new releases”
“I feel that when you look at it, it looks a lot more, I'll use the word, traditional”
“I think one of these two games is going to be seen as better...And does that have an impact long-term? Maybe, especially if they don't all immediately sell out.”
“I feel like they just want to make one model...guys, can we not? Like, it's easier for us to plan if we can just do all collectors.”
“I bet you the standard sells the least, and I feel this isn't the first time we've said that when we've seen Spooky.”
