## Quotes and Taglines:

* “I’ve learned that my brain kicks me off…like, somewhere around two hours, 10 minutes is basically where my brain starts punching the rest of me aggressively. Or the other way around — I don’t know. My brain gets in a fight with the rest of my body and it makes it hard to talk, play. It makes my dumb jokes less dumb, which is unfortunate for all of us.”
* “Pretend like I’m like the cocktail entertainment — I’m, like, the piano player over in the corner — and you guys are having a a drink, having a scallop wrapped in bacon or whatever’s the vegetarian equivalent of that.”
* “I appreciate that I’m getting punched by an 80-year-old, first-time viewer right now. That’s actually really fun and exciting.”
* “Just because I like it doesn’t mean I know how to play it.”
* “It’s not on the list, but does it look like I care?” (on You’re Still The One by Orleans after another Orleans song)
* “How does this one go? I love this song.”
* “This is how we do it, it’s Friday night…something, something, something...” (trying to remember This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan)
* “This is one of Keith Moon’s finest works, I would say. It’s not gonna be one of my finest works, I can tell you that right now.” (on I Can See For Miles)
* “I get behind the (drum) kit and I pick up the sticks and I’m just, like, two left feet, three left arms, no left head. It sounds like a forklift falling down a flight of stairs when I play drums. I’m basing that on firsthand experience of having watched many forklifts fall down flights of stairs and listening intently to what it sounded like.”
* “Guys, if you’re a fan of John Cougar Mellencamp, forgive me for what I’m about to say, but that’s a pretty severe dropoff to go from, like, Pete (Seeger)…Bob (Dylan)…Bruce (Springsteen)…John Cougar Mellencamp. Was that super judgmental? Guys, I’m still gonna play the song... That’s the thing, you request the song and I play it. And that’s the arrangement and you’re happy that you get the song played. But you have to pay the tax — the tax is I get to sass you. No I don’t get to sass you, I get to sass your choice. We call that The Sass Tax. Like that expression, “Let’s get down to sass tax.” That’s what that comes from originally.”
* “Classic Kantor.” (RPM)
* “This song has been on the Kitchen Sink list since, like, Day One probably. A lot of these have been in there for a long, long, long time. Because it occurred to me — this might be the last Kitchen Sink, you never know — so I was like, ‘I’m gonna kick some of the ones from the bottom up to the top.’ … Doesn’t mean I learned ‘em, you guys, just means I put ‘em on the list.” (on Christopher Cross’ Arthur’s Theme)
* “You lost me there when you started talking about rules, but that’s OK.”
* “I do not know this song at all, guys, so wish me luck. Let’s get through it together. We’re all in it together.” [proceeds to play it almost perfectly] (on Arthur’s Theme, at 1:47:00-1:48:00)
* “What if, on Episode 120 next week, I give away all my musical secrets? Like, guys, this is how you do everything…”
* “This show doesn’t need to be fleshed out. It’s already too long just doing all the dumb things that we enjoy doing.”
* “Isn’t this entertaining television, you guys?”
* “Messed up the drum beat there. That’s what happens when you try to get clever. Guys, don’t ever try to get clever. That’s the lesson.”
