Notable quotes
“There's dozens of us, okay, that like it. I love Cactus Canyon.”
“But screw the premium. I'm telling you right now. That game effed me three times during the tournament.”
“He's okay. Yeah. He does fine. He's all right. Yeah. [Escher's] lucky there's ball saves in games, for sure. And he's lucky that... He's lucky there's flippers on the game, too.”
“Commentating Bond and watching Bond and listening, there was a few different times I commentated, but like Raymond Davidson was sitting next to me one time. Dalton was sitting next to me one time... it felt like the Twilight Zone.”
“There's a little graphic showing the seats. Every seat on that graphic was red except for mine, which was green because [I did nothing].”
