## Quotes and Taglines:

* “Just ‘cause I say the letter P it doesn’t mean you guys have to all start saying songs that are about the letter P or start with the letter P. It’s OK; you don’t have to. I know some people like to do that.”
* Conversation:
	+ (on story about Mary unexpectedly seeing an old friend from college recently)
	+ **Mary:** Sorry, guys. I just haven’t shared this story with Josh, so I can’t turn it off right now. Sorry.
	+ **Josh:** This isn’t part of the show. This is just us having our day.
	+ **Mary:** (starts telling story)
	+ Josh (aside): This is gonna be a long story. I can tell already.
	+ **Mary:** I’m having, over the past couple of days, all of these moments of just, like, feeling again in a way, this welling-up of emotions that just… oy, crybaby, crybaby.
	+ **Josh:** We do this every Monday as our respite…
* “If you like the show and you have the means, the best way for you to show your appreciation for what we’re doing is to make a donation to your local food bank, local food pantry, https://FeedingAmerica.org. If you don’t like the show and you have the means, the best way you can say to us, ‘Your show sucks,’ is to make a donation to your local food bank, your local food pantry, https://FeedingAmerica.org, et cetera. Show us what’s what, give us what for and back it up — walk the walk, talk the talk and donate the donate.”
* “I don’t think that song actually has a key change in it, but I’m just showing off. And I kind of messed it up, too, so I guess the lesson is never show off. Or what’s the lesson? If you’re gonna show off, maybe know that you can actually do the thing that you’re about to try to impress people with. Maybe test run it at least once beforehand. Or actually think about it beforehand. Give it the tiniest little bit of thought before you start showing off, I think that’s the lesson. I Think. That’s. The Lesson.” (on Happy Days Are Here Again)
* “One of you Beatle dorks will correct me if I’m wrong, I know you will. Takes a Beatle dork to know a Beatle dork, tell you what.” (on different versions of Revolution)
* “What if I just segue in and out of every song with Caravan Of Love by Isley Jasper Isley? Instead of doing lightning round, it’s just gonna be Isley Jasper Isley round…”
* “If you’re one of those people who’s like, ‘He never plays my request,’ you should request Caravan Of Love by Isley Jasper Isley. Today. I bet I’ll play it. Bet I will.”
* “Isn’t there a Leonard Cohen song about a woman named Suzanne? I’m pretty sure there is. It’s like one of the popular ones. Somebody will know, somebody will say it. I’m bad at lyrics, you guys.”
* “Guys, this show’s been on for so long that we’re now reminiscing. Maybe we need a clip show that explains all the dumb inside jokes…”
* (RPM) “Knowing stuff is complicated, guys. I might have got it wrong.”
* “Who wants to sing birthday tunes? … We have an official birthday song on this show. We are trying to make it the official birthday song of society. Let’s say Western Hemisphere. Don’t want to get too greedy.”
* “The thing is, in my head, the song I was talking about that was long and boring was the right song, but the song I played was the wrong song.” (on confusing Miracles by Jefferson Starship and You Make Loving Fun by Fleetwood Mac the previous week)
* “Somebody likes this song — that’s why they requested it — and then they’re mad at me because I’m giving the song what for. But like if you have a great chorus and a lousy everything else, keep it short and focus on the chorus.” (on Miracles by Jefferson Starship)
* “It’s OK to like things that are boring. I like lots of things that are boring: Libraries, organs, accordios, sidewalks. I just go out and walk. I’ll be like, ‘Hey Mary, I’m going out for a walk; I’ll be back in two hours.’ ‘OK, fine.’ Come back. ‘Hey, how was your walk?’ ‘Oh, it was great.’ What did you do?’ ‘I walked.’ ‘Was it boring?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Did you enjoy it?’ ‘Yes.’”
* “It’s hard to do lightning round when I just want to play 45 minutes of Isley Jasper Isley…”
* “I’m not stacking the deck, but I am moving the deck around if that makes sense.” (as Josh opened a still-sealed pack of 1991 Score baseball cards)
* Conversation:
	+ (after playing Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons following the infamous Trump campaign news conference at Four Seasons Landscaping Company in Philadelphia)
	+ **Josh:** Contrary to popular belief, Frankie Valli is not affiliated with any landscaping companies. I learned that this morning when I was reading the Internet.
	+ **Mary:** Have you been looking into landscaping companies? Are we looking to do (that)?
	+ **Josh:** Well, I don’t know. People were talking about landscaping a lot over the weekend. I guess probably because it’s been so nice out. It’s been, like, shockingly gorgeous for this time of year.
	+ **Mary:** The weather’s been beautiful. I mean, except for the earthquake that we experienced and the snowstorm a week ago…
	+ **Josh:** No, we’re in a serious climate crisis, there’s no question about that. But I think that the springy/summery conditions of this weekend maybe got people thinking about landscaping. And then you know how it is — what does Malcolm Gladwell call it, the tipping point? When ideas spread and everybody’s talking about it all the time. But it had occurred to me, I wonder if Frankie Valli — I don’t know how I got on that, maybe ‘cause I was thinking of like, ‘How Green Was My Valley?’ or something — and then somebody posted something about it, they’re like, ‘Yeah, no, Frankie Valli was not involved with the landscaping industry. Not even (as a) hobbyist or an enthusiast. I don’t think he even has a yard. I think he just has, like, a parking lot.
	+ **Mary:** Maybe he does houseplants, though. Well, we’ll look into this. We’ll look into this.
* “Bridge! I don’t know the bridge.” (on You Make My Dreams by Hall and Oates)
* “Adam Z. needs one more clue for bingo. I’m not gonna give it to him. Not gonna give him the satisfaction. You shouldn’t have said it, Adam Z, it might’ve happened organically. But now there’s no way I’m doing it.” (after viewer Adam Z. announced in the chat that he needed only “hat” to achieve 7th-Inning Stretch Bingo; note: Josh eventually put on the hat)
