Right. When I was a kid, it was tickets. And then you could trade that in for a big price.

Okay? I take them now multiple times a week. I took my oldest son last week, the Dave and Busters at 8 o'clock at night. He had the time of his life. And he's learning the art of saving points. Because he realizes, am I just going to go up to the cashier and get a stick of gum? Or am I going to save it to

0:22.8

eventually get a PS5? Which you could. It takes a lot of time, but you learn the art of saving.

0:28.8

That's actually really good. I like that lesson. I like that lesson. Well, here's what I'd like to

0:33.6

propose. Dave and Busters, you're a beautiful big company. RPM raceway, you're a beautiful

0:38.1

big company. I think we need to have a point sharing system. I think all of these big arcades

should transfer points to each other so that when you go to RPM, which is a great place,

1:20.0

lose their PS5 to a person who spent more money on beers at Dave and Busk. Exactly. You're spending

1:24.0

money to play at the arcade there. And let me explain why it would actually benefit them.

1:28.9

If I have to make a decision now, if my kids are like, hey, we're going to the arcade tonight and I'm down with it.

1:34.0

I'm leaning towards Dave and Busters because we got more points.

1:37.1

So now RPM's all loop out of luck.

1:39.8

You know what I mean?

1:40.7

But if there was a sharing system, I'd still go to RPM. Why? Because it's closer?
