## Quotes and Taglines:

* Conversation:
	+ **Mary:** Hey Josh Kantor, do you notice anything weird about the room today?
	+ **Josh:** Not yet…I haven’t looked.
	+ **Mary:** Well, Chloe Jr. has gotten a little distracted and she didn’t set up the broadcast properly so everything’s all backwards today. I don’t know if we can change it…
	+ **Josh:** Wait, you’re throwing her under the bus for that?
	+ **Mary (laughing):** That’s actually my job.
	+ **Josh:** Ladies and gentlemen, today as always, I’m joined on the program by the one and only Reverend Producer Mary!” (plays Mary fanfare)
	+ “And of course our resident hippopotamus and production assistant and network liaison Chloe Jr., who took most of last week off but then she showed up at the end. She had a day off; she had earned some comp time. And just now Reverend Producer Mary acknowledged that we are backwards today, and that was not intended and I didn’t even notice — and I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t said anything. But you said it. I mean, I think we should just keep it as is, right?
	+ **Mary:** I think we should…
* Conversation:
	+ **Josh:** Did I play (the Game Of Thrones theme) on TV theme theme day? I can’t even remember if I’ve played that song before on an episode or on the show.
	+ **Mary:** Did we have a TV theme theme day? That seems so long ago…
	+ **Josh:** That was a long time ago. We did 120 episodes in 120 days.
	+ **Mary:** What were we thinking?
	+ **Josh:** We weren’t thinking. Although we did remember to at least flip the camera around each day, so we were thinking that much. Now we’re thinking even less, now that we’re doing it weekly.
	+ **Mary:** That might be true…
* (Mary) “I’m 130 comments behind, which means there’s a really a long queue today. On Episode Q.”
* “I assume that most people who are here do like the show, especially the names I see in the chat they’re regulars who keep coming back. So unless it’s some sort of weird Stockholm syndrome situation where you’re strangely compelled to watch this thing that you don’t want to watch. Or maybe your significant other makes you watch it, like ‘Come on, honey, let’s watch that show together that we love.’ ‘Oh, you mean the show that you love?’ ‘Yeah, the show that we love.’ ‘Okay…what are they up to now, Q? Are they gonna finish with Q or are they gonna go all the way to Z? They’re gonna stop at Z though, right, or they’re gonna keep going after Z? ‘Cause, like, seriously, I know that days are just a false construct at this point, but the Monday thing is not doing it for me with this 7th-Inning Stretch. And then the other person’s like, ‘No, no, it’s great.’”
* “As Mary says, you can stretch however you want. If you want to stretch backwards or stretch in any direction, it’s just all about the stretching. And the singing. And the group experience. And the song. And the waltz feel, And the traditional things that it evokes about American culture. Those are the things that it’s about. It’s also about 36 seconds long.” (on Take Me Out To The Ballgame)
* “Why are you guys requesting all these TV theme songs?”
* “Guys, it’s not drugs. We’re not high on drugs when we do these shows — or ever. But we’re definitely flying high on sugar right now.” (after mid-show cookie delivery and consumption)
* “Now you know what it’s like to perform for only 100 people, which I what I do most nights.” (to Fenway Park PA announcer Henry Mahegan, after Josh called him mid-show and got him to give a little “Fenway flavor”)
* “Thank you for reminding me that people don’t want to hear my voice in that situation. ‘Cause I forget — I’m chatting with Henry — (and) I forget sometimes that he’s, like, the Voice Of God. I mean, it’s always a sonorous pleasure. But you know what I’m saying. I forgot. I was like, ’Oh, we’re palling around like when we have other guests on,’ but this guy, he’s the Voice Of God, let him talk and let other people (listen) because, lord, you have to listen to me all the friggin’ time. What a drag. What. A. Drag.” (on Mary interrupting Josh’s phone conversation with Henry Mahegan)
* (Mary) “Don’t Google ‘giant ass.’ Do not do that. I do not want to be involved in that.“ (on Brian Daubach/Giant Glass sign story)
* “Oh, I get it… Q for Quarterflash because it’s Appendix Q. I always forget that, you guys, that I say the letter of the episode and then you say things that pertain to that letter. It’s what you guys do.” (on request for Harden My Heart by Quarterflash)
* “What’s the count on that? I think it’s like a 19. Yeah, ‘cause it’s like four bars of four, so that makes 16, and then there’s a bar of three tacked on. It’s tricky, especially tricky because I don’t have a beat programmed in here that’s like a 19/4, so I played the 4/4 and it sort of turned upside down on itself, so that’s why I played it twice so it would turn itself back.” (on chorus of All The Young Dudes)
* “Eh, it would’ve been better if I learned it proper. And/or if there was a live drummer, that would’ve probably have made a big difference. It doesn’t even have to be Keith Moon, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt — I mean if we could revive him.” (on trying to learn The Who’s A Quick One, While He’s Away mid-show)
* “Just because I don’t like this song doesn’t mean it’s not fun to play.” (on Only Time Will Tell by Asia)
