    How do you run a laundromat and bar at the same time?
    In this episode of #InfrequentlyAskedQuestions, we ask Sunshine Laundromat owner Peter Rose a few questions about this unique hidden speakeasy laundromat. From the weirdest thing they’ve ever found to the ‘best’ pinball machine in the establishment, Peter patiently answered our many questions and offered an insight into this secret world inside the unassuming laundromat.

      Not a bar but a truck stop near me had a cool pinball room in the back that most people had no clue about. I only know because I saw it on my way to the restroom a few years ago. Unfortunately the building burned down last year :(.

    I met Peter 3 years, really nice guy. The hardest working man I've ever met!
    The man has a never ending list of things to fix and always gets it done. He never lets the work get him down either. Thanks for being an inspiration Peter.

    Whenever I see something like this, I am reminded of what a deep and wide collection of humans exist in this world. I don't feel less weird, but I do feel less alone.

    Good God!! I was at the laundry mat today. I'm SOOOOOOO envious! A nice cocktail would have made the whole thing so much more enjoyable! 😆😜🍸❤️👍

      It's truly a great way to kill some time while doing laundry! A nice game of pinball to kick back, relax, and while away the time...

    The pinball / life metaphor question...I was hoping he'd say no matter how well you play, eventually the game always ends.

    What was the [bleep] in "used [bleep]"?

    • @SLLabsKamilion
      @SLLabsKamilion 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      condom. One would initially assume "dildo", but one does not find a "used" dildo, it's always "the dildo" or "a dildo", never "your dildo". Adding "used" could only remove dildo from the rankings; leaving "condom" as the most likely censored word paired with "used".

    I'm a huge pinball fan, this place looks awesome. But the dogs look like the real sleeper hit there. And I will not let those sleeping dogs lie, they must wake up for pets.

      It genuinely does not feel like you're in New York when you're in there. Where does it feel like? We could not tell you, but... somewhere cool.
