Notable quotes

“They can't keep up with production, and that's the bottom line. They can't keep up with demand. And they've increased their production by 25 percent, and they still can't keep up.”
“Weird Al is one of those guys that is probably personally bigger than any of his songs.”
“if you go in to buy a car, what do you want? What's the one thing you want? You want the out-the-door price, right?”
“multimorphic has a hit on their hands... in the marketing department excluding the pricing... multimorphic is a top three company when it comes to their presentation”
“it looks fun. You think this looks fun. Yes. Will this sell Multimorphic? Supposedly, they're all sold out of the LEs.”
“the one thing that I'm concerned with is this reminds me a little bit like a game system so and game systems have lifespans”
“I still haven't bought my ticket. Can I just tell you how stupid the price – like the one flight that is perfect coming back to Utah, they want $750 for a round-trip ticket.”
