## Quotes and Taglines:

* “I think we figured out the trick for how to get you guys to stop showing up, which is to do it at unscheduled times. … Look at all these people — what the hey hey?”
* “Maybe we should switch this to Fridays…it’s got sort of a weekend, skipping-out-of-work kind of vibe going on.”
* (discussion on naming of episode) Mary: I have a question about the spelling of Appendix I Point 2, Mr. Librarian Affiliate. Josh: Librarian Adjacent. Mary: That’s what I meant, yeah. Because I think it would be way cooler if it was “Episode I point lower-case ‘ii’” Josh: (shakes head) No, I don’t like that. I like that for the sake of confusing people, but… Mary: Yeah, that’s what I’m about right now. Josh: No, I know. I’m about that, but I’m also slightly more about not confusing myself.
* (to the tune of Don’t Know Why) “Sing along: ‘Something, something, something else/Don’t know why I didn’t come…’ B-section!”
* “Back when we were daily, (Patrick G.) said, ‘It’s Friday, how about some Van Halen?’ And I said, “Not only am I gonna play that, I’m gonna get that as a tattoo.”
* “I wish I could remember the thing that I was trying to remember that I was talking about. It’ll never happen.”
* “(Dawn) wants to hear a song that none of you know, but I know it. [pause] Do I know it? You probably don’t know it. Sing along if you know it, but you probably don’t.” (on Over The Rainbow)
* “Let me get that in really quick. That’s how I’ll stall to try to figure out how Mr. Big Stuff goes. Gershwin, right? Another song I should know, but don’t. Maybe that’s the book I should write — all the songs I should know, but don’t.” (on request for I Got Rhythm)
* “Let me finish this rant…” (on Bruce Springsteen’s birthday being down the list of importance among other musical greats who share that birthday)
* “I should have played it right away. Kids, they shouldn’t have to sit through 40 minutes of me being a doofus before they get to hear their song, right?” (on a child’s request for Take On Me)
* (on the Boston Music Awards) Josh: They’ve added a couple of categories in the last couple years that I’m especially excited about. One of them is the Session Musician of the Year — which is sort of like the behind-the-scenes people, the unsung heroes, the side players, which is a lot of the people I get to work with. Eight of the 10 Session Musician of the Year nominees this year are people I have played with. Super awesome. I’m so excited for all of them. Did I get nominated? Was I in the top 10? I was not. Have I been nominated in the past in the top 10? No. Even, like, that one year when I was crushing it, did I get in the top 10 nominations? No, I did not. Boston Music Awards… Mary: I’m just getting prepared to remind you of what Neko Case would say at this moment. Josh: Shut up, dickhead? That’s what she would say to me right now. Mary (laughing): She’s given you lots of great advice, including, “Music’s not a competition.” That’s not an original thought that came from me; that came from Neko. Josh: There’s no baseball category in the Boston Music Awards, unfortunately, because I might be able to crack the top 10 for that. Like me, Bronson Arroyo, Lenny DiNardo for best Boston baseball musician. I could probably crack the top 10 for that, maybe — although who knows with this nominating committee?
* “Maybe that’s what it’ll take to get us nominated for a Boston Music Award is to enter the (cultural) zeitgeist on the level of, like, we have a whole new birthday anthem that is soooooo much better than that bland ‘Happy Birthday To You’ song…”
