Notable quotes
“It Never Drains at the Black Knight always happens while It Never Drains Southern California is happening and streams It Never Drains Southern California on a TV or some TVs around the space.”
“There was something strange in the neighborhood. You were the person they called just to be clear.”
“Remember these names at the end of the season, Schlubs, Harlem Globe Flippers. Let's talk about whether that made a difference at the end of the season because I have a feeling those might be very big wins.”
“If any of them fails to meet the obligation, such as it were, then A.J. Gould would find himself entered in the tournament. That said, if he didn't, he'd be driving a bus right down there in B.”
“Paul likely will not be attending the finals, which means not driving that second bus. Instead, Courtney Wetzel and Sam Hall are both tied at 81 points. There will be a tie break between them for determining who drives that second bus.”
“I think when later we talk about what the first game with auto-launch was, that Getaway might actually be a really good, or Fishtales, one of those two might actually be a really good possibility for the first one.”
