Notable quotes

I predict that the next Jersey Jack pinball will sell more collector's editions than any of the previous collector's editions made.
Zach
So you just need a lot of something in there to motivate that level of investment because there's so much you can get with $12,500 competitively in the market.
Dennis
A soft reboot for me, Dennis, is almost like whenever some of these people can relate, and this is filthy, so, is like when you jerk off, but then your wife wants to have sex a couple hours later.
Zach
I really, really, really want Stern to put Lyman on another game that has a pro. I'm tired of him only being on this expensive stuff.
Dennis
Stern seems to really struggle with, and you may know more on this as a distributor, but they seem to really struggle with, it almost seems like motivating themselves to want to put out toppers. It's like a big chore for them.
Zach
How about this, guys? How about you get the right fucking information before you air it?
Zach
It's a must-buy. It's completely positioned to advantage your argument.
Zach
You might see a mini spike now that more of the toppers are out. Because there are some people that, I mean. It's weird to hear people, but I saw someone message me this week who said they were seriously considering getting Black Knight just because of the topper.
