Notable quotes
“The rumor is still John Wick. That's still the most front-runner for rumors. I've not heard it's not John Wick. I've not received any confirmation that it is John Wick.”
“I'm just itching for something new. There are rumors out there that it's a designer that we don't know of, really. A stealth designer?”
“I think the topper is probably in large part responsible for driving this because it is one of the most popular toppers that has come out of any major pinball manufacturer.”
“I'm assuming it's based off of demand from distributors, so it's probably a good idea.”
“Of the 6,000 listeners to this show, I believe that 16.6 repeated percent of them... buy a brand new in-box pinball machine, at least one every year. So 1,000 listeners.”
“I would put it at no higher than 10% of the listener base, and I think it's closer to 5%.”
“There's just something about a new Stern title that just gets my pinballs magnetized if you know what I mean.”
“We're still waiting for Venom accessories and Jaws accessories. Those are really kind of the thing that enthusiasts are most looking forward to.”
