EP15 Retro Ralph My Journey Into Pinball

“my grandfather... he always wanted to like take an interest in whatever I was interested in. So he would encourage me if there was like something that got me excited, he would always like double down on it.”

“I would go down there and I would always... I would look at it and I saw it covered with stuff and every now and then I'd get like ballsy and I'd maybe move something off of it but I was too scared to even ask them like can I play”

“I watched someone lock three balls in the building. And then when the building came down and started playing the blue oyster cult music, I was like, what the hell? This is the coolest shit ever.”

“To go to Galloping Ghost is like, that's the mecca. He has everything... it's all authentic so it's all real CRTs the power in that building is insane”

“I think that's why some people gravitate toward their first machine being a stern, because they tend to be like workhorse games. They're reliable. You don't have to touch them that much.”

“the thing is, that's all in our head more than it's in theirs... they're probably excited watching you... be excited about pinball”
