Ep 74: 100k by Christmas?! with Zach Meny

“I am taking a step back from the crystals and I will not be a part of it for better orders... I've learned over the last three, four, five years in media, guys, that for some reason, whenever I help create something or something new to this industry, it can be a bit dichotomous on the reception.”

“I feel like sometimes I'm the weakest link by trying to be the strongest link... whenever I help create something, it's like, oh, well. So I'm like, yeah, let's just take a year off, sit in the stands and root on everybody.”

“The curse is over... Stern could definitely produce Laundry Day right now and it would be backordered. Just because, you know, right now, yeah, Keith Elwin, exactly. And you strap a sticker on it and make it pinball, then absolutely right now.”

“people vastly prefer the layout of Iron Maiden, which is why it's harder to get an Iron Maiden than it is to get a Led Zeppelin on the secondary market.”

“If you qualify for a 401k then you can officially say anything you listen to is dad rock.”

“I wouldn't mind it. Would you do a crossover with NSYNC or would it just be strictly be JT? Man, Justin's catalog is plenty thick. Why isn't he in a pinball machine?”

“The dad rock crowd. Basically my generation... If it's something like transcendent, like Iron Maiden, you're not going to sell the numbers Iron Maiden did without an amazing playfield. Like the theme is not going to sell that.”

“I can say here on your show, I haven't talked about it yet, I'm not going to be a part of the crystals this coming year.”

“I got thinking about this the other day, you know, Beatles is a fun game, but I want to, I would say that the cells weren't there... they only made 1,966 of them and they thought they were all produced yet they just ran another order.”

“if it is Rush by John Borg at the current temperature of our industry and market, we will see sales greater than Led Zeppelin.”
