I hope to see you sometime whether in California, Celebration, Lakeland, Walt Disney world, anywhere.

There was a video within the last year or two that John put out that Adam was in in the background at some kind of bar arcade. I love it when some of my favorite KZreadrs crossover. I haven't even started watching it yet and I saw this comment.

That place is a reminder of what it used to be. I like to go somewhere to play some pinball.

    My brother and my husband used to love playing the Contra 2 player video game. The one player could only advance so far with the other player following. My brother was the more aggressive forward moving player and my husband would be the follower and lag behind and always hold him up. They would yell at each other and it would make me laugh. Sadly, my husband passed away 7 years ago. Thank you for this wonderful memory 🙏🏻

I remember seeing it for sale in 1996 for $400 and asked my dad if I could put it in the basement and he said no because it was an old game and they break, so I'd be wasting my money. I should have just bought it without asking, it's not like I was old enough that he could kick me out of the house 😂
