Notable quotes

“Nine years this month. That's the really cool part. The bittersweet part of that is it's also nine years this month since we lost Steve Charlotte.”
Spencer
“But having a new Back to the Future pinball machine would be awesome because with the technology we have, with the video clips we could use, the music would be iconic if we could get the Alan Silvestri theme.”
Mark
“I'm just not going to eat that much food. So it came with a big plate of beans and rice, which I love, and then a taco. and that and that and the soda did it for me now that was a perfect size dinner for me so yeah not only am i i like utilizing the senior discounts now i'm also ordering off the senior menu now”
Spencer
“I think that Back to the Future, just kind of the, you know, maybe the triple rule set thing would be more of a JJP style thing, probably less of a Stern style thing.”
Dan
“I had a job at an arcade in the 90s But it was really more of a pool room So that job was basically just cleaning pool tables all the time and handing out flyers.”
Spencer
