Presented by Spawn Point Coffee I was able to interview Michael Lepsch on March 11, 2025, at my company function, where we all played a ton of games and had some great food. Michael owns Arcade 92 at the Flower Mound, Texas location, one of their two locations; the other is in McKinney, Texas. You can see more of Arcade 92 at their website: https://www.arcade92.com/ Todd Friedman (TF): Are you originally from Texas? Michael Lepsch (ML): So, I’m a Yankee. I was born in New York and lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a short bit. Tulsa was my first interaction with video games as an eight-year-old. I’ve been in the Dallas–Fort Worth area for now well over two-thirds of my life. I’m not from here, but most of my life I have lived in Texas. TF: When did you decide you wanted to open an arcade and why did you choose these two locations? ML: The funny thing is I want to say that I decided to open an arcade sometime in 2018, and while going through my parents’ attic, I found a box of some drawings I did in the third grade. Inside that box was a drawing of myself that I did, and it says one day I am going to have one thousand dollars, and with that money I am going to open a video game store. So apparently, I had this idea when I was in the third grade, and I just forgot about that. TF: Do you own both locations, and which one did you open first? ML: We opened our McKinney location at the very end of 2019. In fact, we opened on November 29 because that’s the anniversary of Pong. I specifically wanted that date, and we got it to work out. I really wanted to open on that same date here at Flower Mound, but we missed it by a week because of some city inspections, so we opened here on December 4, 2023. TF: How was the reception when you first opened? How is the turnout? ML: In McKinney, it was great. This is like a retirement job. So, when I first had this idea, I was pretty sure this would work. I can honestly say that when it came to opening day in McKinney, I remember unlocking the door after spending an insane amount of money on construction and all those things and being like, this was a good idea, right? You know that that weekend we were packed, and it stayed that way for a while, so that was great. Here in Flower Mound, I felt a lot more confident. It kind of had the same beginning to it, but I felt much more like I knew what I was doing. I think that McKinney had that excited nervousness. Here it was far less, but it’s been great. Both locations have done fantastic, and like I said, McKinney met and exceeded all my expectations, so I was like, hey, why not do it again? We’ve been here in Flower Mound for just a little over a year now in the second location. I’m having a great time. TF: How important is the maintenance of the machines, and how do you handle the wear and tear? ML: When we first got started, I was the technician, and now we have four people who are techs, but I will chime in when things get busy. I kind of Google-taught myself to fix the machines. All four of my tech crew are under the age of 25, so that’s cool because I’ve been able to kind of keep that going. I tried to put out an ad for a retro game technician and no one’s answering those. I go in, but sometimes they must cross-pollinate, but I’ll tell you it is not easy. One of the tough things is when a monitor goes out. You can’t get new monitors, so a lot of times you must sacrifice a game to make a new game work, and that’s a tough decision. You don’t ever want to see taking a game out of circulation. TF: What does it take to keep Arcade 92 fresh, and do you try to circulate different games? ML: We have a general strategy. About every month we recycle three titles. So, three games go out, which makes sense, and it’s easier now that we have two locations because we can swap between those. We have about 120 games at the Flower Mound location, and I’ve got 100 at the McKinney location, plus we’ve got about 30 or 40 games in storage, most of which are working. TF: Do you see yourself expanding and opening more arcades? ML: Maybe. It is kind of like a retirement job for me. I did this because I could never not work, and I wanted to do something fun. I also did this because, you know, my story goes back to when I retired from the industry I was in before. I was definitely working too hard.

It looks like we had a bit of an incident in Virginia at a “No Kings” protest. Joseph Checklick Jr. was charged for “driving into protestors”. Thankfully no injuries were reported: Joseph Checklick Jr. was charged after driving into protesters in Virginia. No injuries were reported, but police investigation continues. https://t.co/37OEWeGCPw — WUSA9 (@wusa9) June 14, 2025 Here’s a quick summary of what we know so far: A 21-year-old man, Joseph R. Checklick Jr., was arrested in Culpeper, Virginia, after allegedly driving his SUV through a crowd of protesters, striking at least one person. The incident occurred during the “No Kings” protest held in a Walmart parking lot, part of a nationwide movement called the 50501 Movement opposing what organizers call “authoritarian” policies of President Trump. Culpeper Police officers witnessed the act, stated it was intentional, and arrested Checklick on reckless driving charges. He is currently held without bond. The protests were peaceful and wrapping up when Checklick allegedly accelerated into the dispersing crowd. No injuries were officially reported by late Saturday. Culpeper Democrats sponsored the local protest and thanked the police for responding quickly and ensuring public safety. President Trump addressed the protests earlier in the week, stating he does not act like a king and highlighting the checks he faces from Congress, framing the protests as based on a misunderstanding of his powers. Police are seeking witnesses and video evidence to build the case and determine if additional charges will be filed. The incident is under investigation, and community leaders are urging cooperation with authorities. Local WUSA9 had more: Officers with the Culpeper Police Department were in the 800 block of James Madison Highway monitoring a peaceful protest taking place. As participants were leaving and crossing through a business parking lot, police saw an SUV speed through the crowd of pedestrians. Based on what they witnessed and initial investigation, officers said Joseph Checklick Jr. intentionally accelerated his car into the crowd, hitting at least one person with his car. However, police said there have not been any injuries reported at this time. The person hit by Checklick did not identify themselves to police. Checklick Jr. was charged with reckless driving and after appearing before a magistrate, he is being held without bond. Additional charges can be filed in the future if anyone comes forward to report any injuries. Anyone involved can contact Det. Payne 540-829-5530. Checklick seems to have misunderstood two key things… One, you’re in Virginia, not Florida. And two, even in Florida, you don’t just randomly look for a crowd to plow into!  That’s not how this works.  That’s not right. You can drive your car through protestors in Florida when they illegally occupy the street and start to surround your car and you fear for your safety. You don’t just point your car at a crowd and accelerate! That’s not how this works! RELATED: Gov. Ron DeSantis Says It’s 100% Legal In Florida To PLOW PROTESTORS Illegally On The Street! Gov. Ron DeSantis Says It's 100% Legal In Florida To PLOW PROTESTORS Illegally On The Street! Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is not playing any games when it comes to anti-ICE rioters attempting to take over U.S. streets. In a recent podcast interview with Dave Rubin, DeSantis shared that if rioters surround your car and they are making threats at you, then you have a right to drive away.  Drive through the crowd if necessary. DeSantis added, if you end up hitting a rioter while fleeing, then they had it coming. 100% common sense!  YES!! I have a 100% foolproof way to NEVER get hit by a car on the highway, you want to hear it?  Almost nothing is a sure bet in life, but this one is.  Works every time, no exceptions.... If you don't want to get hit by a car while "protesting" do not "protest" on a highway, interstate or any kind of street of any kind! You're welcome, problem solved! I haven't always agreed with Ron DeSantis on everything, but he nailed it here. If the mob is coming at you and circling your car, you do NOT have to just sit there and wait to get assaulted or killed. START PLOWING AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! Legally, of course. You don't go looking for someone to ram into, don't get it twisted, but if your life is being put in danger by "protestors" illegally on the street and they start to surround your car, that's called self-defense if you ask me! Per Yahoo News: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) assured drivers in his state they will not be held liable if they hit protesters blocking roadways when they are fearful for their lives. “If you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety, and so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you,” DeSantis told podcaster Dave Rubin in an episode of “The Rubin Report” released Wednesday night. “You don’t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets.” “You have a right to defend yourself in Florida,” he added. The Florida Republican spent much of the discussion with Rubin focused on protests that have rocked Los Angeles and other major cities in response to President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Some demonstrators in New York City, Chicago and elsewhere have created traffic jams as part of their anti-Immigrations and Customs Enforcement efforts. DeSantis, who is term-limited and unsuccessfully sought the GOP’s presidential nomination against Trump in 2024, touted past work from law enforcement in Florida to quickly disperse crowds that have attempted to block roadways. “You have no right to commandeer streets,” DeSantis said. “First of all, it’s just wrong; second of all, that has huge impacts on people’s quality of life.” “We have an absolutely zero tolerance policy for that,” he added. DeSantis DROPS BOMB on Rioters! "If a mob surrounds your car & threatens you, FLOOR IT! You have the RIGHT to flee. If they get hit, it’s THEIR fault!" pic.twitter.com/opcWnY6xt2 — Jesus G. Navarro (@realjgnavarro) June 12, 2025 Now, just a precaution, DeSantis is stating this should only be done in self-defense. In Los Angeles, an anti-ICE rioter was seen running in front of an ICE vehicle while it was driving. Take a look: In case you were curious. ICE running over this idiot protestor is what triggered tonight’s chaos. Maybe you shouldn’t get in front of a moving SUV next time. pic.twitter.com/NS5wpdc66y — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) June 8, 2025 Per LA Taco: An unidentified protester who put his body on the line to prevent a white SUV full of more than a dozen detainees from being driven away was knocked down by the driver of the truck as he attempted to stop it. The event happened at around 2 PM and was broadcast on both KTLA and ABC as federal agents detained more than a dozen workers at Ambiance Apparel. This massive apparel company boasts being one of the largest West Coast suppliers of fashion resources to retailers worldwide, with a branch in China as well. Instagram users are already flooding the company’s Instagram with comments denouncing the raid. The mass raid was just one of many reported to take place today in Los Angeles. Earlier today, a northeast Los Angeles-based Instagram account posted a video showing more than a dozen armed agents walking up the sidewalk at The Home Depot, located at 2055 N. Figueroa St. More than a dozen migrants were reportedly detained there. ABC News confirmed this second raid earlier in the day. The raid was documented by helicopters, much like broadcast news covers live pursuits. That's what I think and that's what Ron DeSantis thinks, but what do YOU think? YES or NO ?

Run for your lives America, the new “deadliest, most contagious” variant of Fauci’s gain-of-function flu is spreading like wildfire. Be sure to remain on lockdown in your home, close any small businesses (especially holistic ones), social distance at exactly 35 feet, and take any spike protein jab the “disease experts” on the Counterfeit News Network (CNN) and the World Hate Organization (WHO) recommend. Article by S.D. Wells, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com “Deadliest, Most Contagious” Variant Fearmongering: The media and health agencies (dubbed “Counterfeit News Network” and “World Hate Organization”) are accused of exaggerating threats like “Pirola,” “Eris,” and “Nimbus” to push lockdowns, business closures, and mRNA “spike protein jabs” despite questionable severity. Nimbus Variant Hype: The new Omicron subvariant “Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) is framed as another engineered scare tactic, with its “razor blade throat” symptom and 10.7% global spread cited as evidence of ongoing pandemic theater—despite WHO admitting its “low risk.” Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Mask Rhetoric: The text mocks public health measures, urging readers to ditch masks (“face diapers”), avoid mainstream guidance, and instead use “wormwood cleanses,” vitamin D, zinc, and hydrogen peroxide gargles to “detox” from COVID “bacteria.” Conspiracy-Driven Distrust: Claims the CDC/WHO are releasing “gain-of-function viruses” intentionally, with calls to follow alternative sites like plague.info for “truth” about pandemic lies and Pharma corruption. New COVID Variant “Nimbus” Emerges, Fueling Concerns Over Summer Surge A new COVID-19 variant, designated NB.1.8.1 and nicknamed “Nimbus” by health officials, has been detected across the U.S., Europe, and the Western Pacific, raising questions about its potential impact as summer approaches. The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that Nimbus, a descendant of Omicron, was first identified in late January and now accounts for 10.7% of sequenced cases globally—up from 2.5% in March. While Nimbus carries spike protein mutations that may enhance transmissibility, early data suggests it has not led to a significant rise in severe illness or hospitalizations. Symptoms include a notably painful sore throat—described by some as “razor blade throat”—alongside fatigue, congestion, fever, and, less commonly, gastrointestinal issues. The WHO has assessed the global risk as “currently low,” emphasizing that existing vaccines remain effective against severe disease. However, experts warn against complacency. Dr. Rajendram Rajnarayanan of the New York Institute of Technology told Salon that Nimbus is “a strong candidate for the summer surge,” echoing concerns that the virus continues to evolve despite public fatigue. Historical context underscores the unpredictability of COVID-19 variants. Since Delta’s emergence in 2021, successive waves have been driven by strains with increased immune evasion, though vaccination has blunted their deadliest effects. Nimbus’s spread follows this pattern, testing the balance between societal reopening and viral adaptation. “I know that everybody wants to forget about this disease, but it’s not going to allow us to,” said Pharma shill Dr. Janko Nikolich of the University of Arizona College of Medicine, in a statement to ABC Action News. As health agencies monitor Nimbus, the variant serves as a reminder that COVID-19 remains a dynamic threat, according to fake news—and one that demands vigilance even as the world moves forward. Got a sore throat that feels like you’re swallowing a razor blade? That’s Nimbus. Better go get some wormwood parasite cleanse, plenty of vitamin D and zinc, and then throw your Covid mask in the trash and gargle with some hydrogen peroxide 3 percent to kill all that bacteria that huddled in your mouth, throat and lungs from wearing that face diaper.
