**Secret Surprise Special Guest:** Radio Host Peter Sagal of Wait Wait Don't Tell me

## Quotes and Taglines:

* “Let’s figure out how many of these requests I can mangle today…”
* “A little ditty about Jack and Elena/They had to quarantine before their wedding/They didn’t have any real shampoo/So they just washed their hair with whatever they could find…” (improvised lyrics to the tune of Jack & Diane for soon-to-be married Jack and Elena)
* “Guys, I gotta have some creativity here…” (RPM)
* “I used to love this song as a kid. I still kinda like it. I have a soft spot for it. I’m not sure if it’s a great song or not, but I have a soft spot for it.” (on We Just Disagree by Dave Mason)
* “I love this song so much. I’ve probably played it on the show before, but I don’t care. That’s how much I love it.” (on Could It Be I’m Falling In Love)
* “Don’t totally have it, but I’m gonna fake it because I love this song that much (and 11-year-old me loves Van Halen that much).” (on Unchained)
* “Guys, I broke him! I broke Josh! Did you see that? Oh, that was so fun! Because if I hadn’t broken him, we could have been doing this for another 20 minutes…” (on Josh attempting to get Mary to say “Beatles” and Mary saying several different things before finally uttering “Salamanders” and breaking Josh’s deadpan) (RPM)
* “Let’s see…I have questions for you. Is that all right?” (after Peter Sagal had turned interviewing tables on him slightly)
* “There’s good ways to do it and bad ways to do it, as with most things. It often makes it harder to play, which I don’t appreciate, ‘cause you guys know me: I don’t like to be challenged.” (on how Josh feels about songs that change tempo mid-song)
* “This is why the show’s going so long, guys, is because I’m procrastinating on having to do the taxes. That is a hundred, thousand, billion percent true. I didn’t figure it out ‘till just now, but subconsciously that’s obviously what was going on; now it’s conscious.”

* “What can I say? I like mixing it up. That’s just my own weird hangup. I’m in therapy for it, and we’ll work through it. But until then, we’re working on the Night Moves.”
* “Man, we are going off the rails here. How many songs have we played, like one and a half? We are clearly not made for the 10 p.m. slot. We’re gonna have to talk to the network executives.”
* “Guys, I don’t read the society pages, OK? I read the liner notes.” (Josh self-declared tagline)
* “We’re definitely a little wobbly on our feet at 10 p.m. I mean, we’re excited about it. We like the night baseball thing, but…”
* “I can fake this one, guys. We’re in good hands, don’t worry. Are we?”
* “Guys, I’m just so overwhelmed. I gotta just keep chipping away here, that’s what I gotta do.”
* “I don’t know it that well, but again, we’re fakin’ it. Fakin’ it ‘till we’re makin’ it.”
* “I got the bridge, guys. That counts for something.”
* “Nothing against Wham!, but you can only go to that well so many times. There is a Wham! song I really, really want to play. Not tonight, I’m gonna make a note to learn it for tomorrow night and maybe talk about it a little bit. Or maybe not talk about it; I feel like talking about it might take the fun out of it — for you guys, not for me.”
* “I can’t really do it justice, but I’ll do my best.”
* “I’m an eight-bar wonder tonight.”
* “I’m not a particularly big fan of Sting’s solo work, but I think this is a lovely song. Now how does it go?”
* “Yes, there is a 6 in the A.M. I was shocked to find out as well. I’m more familiar with the 6 A.M. that happens at the end of the night rather than first thing in the morning. It’s because I’m a dirtbag musician; it’s a lifestyle thing.”

## Quotes and Taglines:

* “Welcome, we’re so glad you’re here. This is super fun. We’ve been missing it, kind of, and we were excited to do this. We kind of forgot what we were doing, but maybe the muscle memory will kick in. We’ll find out, I guess. There’s only one way to find out — and that’s the hard way.”
* “You guys know this one, right? I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes? Bones? I don’t know words, you guys.” (on Love Is All Around by The Troggs)
* “I am sooooooo chatstracted.”
* (RPM) “God, if we were smart enough, we should have done an all ‘B’ songs show. No, it’s not that we’re not smart enough; it’s that we didn’t care enough.”
* “Let’s get rid of that piano sound. Let’s never play piano ever again on this show. That was a mistake.” (after cueing up piano to demonstrate Stevie Wonder singing like Bob Dylan to show Dylan his part on We Are The World)
* “Hope I remember this, because I like this song. I mean, I always hope I remember (the song I’m about to play).“ (on Cherish by The Association)
* “I wasted my youth in other ways, thank you very much.” (on whether Josh ever saw Survivor play when he was younger)
* “You guys ever heard of Chuck Berry?” [in little voice] “No…” “You haven’t? Well, you’ve got some homework ahead of you...” “I’ve got to play it well, though. If I play it well, then you have homework; if I don’t, no homework.” [afterward] “I played it OK, but no homework. No homework, guys. It’s summertime. Doesn’t mean I won’t give homework next week.”
* “What is a Minus 5 song that I remember how to play? You’d think after all the times I performed with that band that I’d remember some of their songs.” (on a Minus 5 song request for Scott McCaughey’s birthday)
* (on Feels So Good by Chuck Mangione) Mary: That song, you feel so good when that song is played.  I don’t know if I like that song. For real, I don’t know if I like that song. But I just feel so happy now… Josh: Well, I feel like if a song makes you happy, then you probably like it. Mary: I know, that’s why it’s weird. Music’s weird, guys. It’s a weird thing.

International Star Trek Day & International Battlestar Galactica Day according to Josh, who does not like “Star Wars.”

Later that evening, RPM was featured on WGBH Radio’s “In It Together” - https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2020/05/04/in-it-together-5-4-2020

## Quotes and Taglines:

* “Let’s get to the request hotline because for a lot of you, that’s what you’re here for and for a lot of me, that’s what I’m here for, too.”
* “I love playing your requests, I love learning them if I don’t know them, I love making fun of them sometimes…”
* “Do I have any self-respect? No. Is that why I might have to play your request? Yes.”
* “I’m super sorry that I’m playing this, but Robert asked for it so here we go. I aim to please. I’m here for you guys. I’m just the jukebox.”
* “I should learn it and do it properly, but let me just butcher part of it for a second and see if any of it comes to me.”
* “People always request this song. Most of the time they don’t mean it. That’s why it’s even better to play it than to just pretend that they didn’t request it.”
