Special Guest Matthew Talley

On this very special episode of Modern Man in Search of High Scores, Dean and Lawrence have traveled down to Lynn's Arcade in Seaside, CA to interview Matthew Talley. Matthew is well known in the community for his work (and play) at Lynn's, as well as his appearances on PinTech Live on the Marco YouTube and Twitch channels. He has been up and down the coast of California, teching for tournaments great and small, and we got him to take time out of his very busy schedule to put down his nut-drivers and pickup a microphone.
