Notable quotes
“Where is Zach? This is really bad. Maybe Dennis should be replaced... We don't compliment Zach enough. We missed him dearly.”
“If somebody thinks... using the resort's towel as ownership of the chair. No, no, no. That's like a double negative. It cancels each other out.”
“Jaws is still kind of the one that people are ordering... Godzilla Premium is starting to get a little dry. If you are thinking about getting one of those, I would snatch one of those up sooner than later.”
“It's $2,000. Even I'm like, damn, that's a lot of money for a topper. But it's a cool topper... people bought the shit out of this topper.”
“Saturday was weird... that's not a good sales day to launch something. But they had some event... That's about the notes that I know when it comes to this thing.”
“They said, unfortunately, we had leaked pictures and stuff like that... we may adjust. We may have to roll immediately with this.”
“Shipping was not going to be over $1,000... Everything's going to ship from the USA Hub.”
