Notable quotes

Baby Yoda doesn't move. The hell if he doesn't, he will move. Just like that shark will eat balls.
Dennis Creasel
Why does the shark no eat ball?
Zach Minney / Community
It sucked... It wasn't a moment. It was much more pronounced now that it is a bash toy than when it was basically a moving scoop.
Harrison Drake (Stern Lead Engineer)
I'm wondering if maybe that's what that is versus the enthusiasm that you sometimes see. I personally think this was a better approach.
Dennis Creasel
You may be 80% plus of the market, but the arrogance to have your podcast not available through RSS is shocking and inappropriate.
Dennis Creasel
There's nothing like that feeling. Whoa, whoa. Okay, all right. I'm ready.
Zach Minney (bidet tangent)
The video assets are what tickled my fancy the most, though. I'm so glad to get all of those video assets. I just don't care all that much about the video assets.
Zach Minney vs. Dennis Creasel
The proof is in the play, not in how he talks about it.
Dennis Creasel
