## Quotes and Taglines:

* “Let’s do that ‘Happy birthday, Brad’ song that we all love to do so much. It goes like this…’Happy birthday, Brad.’” (to the tune of Hocus Pocus by Focus)
* “This song is by Sam Fogerty and the Pharaohs and it’s called ‘Put Me In Coach Wooly Bully.’ Ugh, guys. A hundred twenty days in a row…the brain is leaking severely.” (on mashup of Wooly Bully and Centerfield)
* “I can’t remember anything that happened more than five seconds ago.”
* “Guys, If you ever see me trying kombucha or expressing an interest in trying kombucha, just scream in my face to remind me that that is not who I am at my core.” (on potentially drinking kombucha of pre-pandemic houseguests The Mastersons after 20 weeks)
* “The less I know about kombucha the better.”
* “We were doing math, now we’re doing alphabet.” (on upcoming “Appendix” shows)
* “Man, she asked like a thousand times for me to play Blue Monday by New Order every single Monday, and I never did. I never really wanted to. Still don’t want to, but it’s not about what I want. It’s about making the people happy.” (on Kristine Kmr’s consistent request for Blue Monday)
* “You guys all know this song; everybody sing along. And if you don’t know it, just pretend like you do. Just make up the words…that’s what I do.” (on Blame It On The Rain)
* “Very tight. Very 30.” (on Mary’s comment that it had been a tight 30-minute show)
* (after camera goes to “final” shot…) // Josh: I gotta pick up all these stickies, then we can go out there and meet (Benari), I guess? // Mary: We should order something. // Josh: Oh yeah, that’s a good idea. Mary: Indian? We usually get Indian. // Josh: Yeah, maybe. I don’t know. Let’s ask him what he would like to do because I actually don’t know how long he can stick around. (pause) Argh, so many stickies…grrr. (another pause) That Hocus Pocus was, like, super fun. // Mary: That was super fun. // Josh: Oh, my God. I am glad I bothered to take the time to learn it, finally. // Mary: Hey Josh, we did it. // Josh: We did…yes, we did 120 shows. // Mary: I love you so much. // Josh: I love you. // (Josh and Mary kiss) // Mary: OK, let’s go be brave. // Josh: OK, let’s do it.
