Quotes and Taglines:

 * "Welcome to the 7th-Inning Stretch. It's a day. I don't know what day it is. It's 6 o'clock a.m. Eastern Standard Time. We do this show every Monday at 3 p.m. and apparently we sometimes do it at other times. So, like, I'm here now doing it…"
 * Conversation:
 * Josh: Oh, I already have some (coffee), thank you.
 * Mary (extending mug toward screen): Oh, right. Here, would you guys like some coffee?
 * Josh: I don't think that's how it works.
 * Mary (laughing): I actually don't know how it works anymore, Josh. Thank you for making the coffee. This is fantastic.
 * Josh: Well, I don't know how a lot of things work. Like I don't know how time works, but I'm pretty sure that you can't transmit coffee through an Internet video feed. That much I think is still reality in the universe we live in right now.
 * Conversation:
 * Mary: Well, that was a super-early fanfare. I'll take it. I feel like that might be one of the earliest.
 * Josh: It might be one of the earliest. There was that one I did at 1 a.m. Does that count as late evening or early morning?
 * Mary: I can't remember. Did we talk about this before?
 * Josh: Probably…
 * "If there's some good ones. And you know what I mean by 'good ones.' It's just shorthand for, like, 'not bad ones.' Because 'not bad ones' is three words and 'good ones" is two words, (so) that's shorthand." (on whether Mary should take song requests)
 * "Let's do the Stretch, shall we? Every episode, we do the Stretch. I play Take Me Out To The Ballgame. It's my personal I Got You Babe. It lives rent-free in my head, to say the least."
 * "Normally you have a regular work schedule and you go to certain places on certain days and that helps you remember what day it is. As opposed to me; I never go anywhere or remember what day it is. If it wasn't for Mondays at 3 p.m., I would be completely untethered to the illusion of time. But now that you're on vacation, you're realizing that things are foggy..." (Josh, speaking to Mary)
 * "As to whether or not I have worn it at any time while I sleep during this pandemic, I'm going to plead the fifth. You guys know about pleading the fifth, right? I plead the fifth, which means I can choose to not to say something that would incriminate myself. It's a constitutional right, apparently, although it's not like I'm on trial or under oath. But I try to be honest with you guys, anyway. I try to be straightforward and honest about what's going on here." (on question about whether he sleeps in the Red Sox jersey)
 * "We'll be back Monday at 3 p.m. Will we be back between now and then? I'm not sure. I'm going have to look at the calendar and see what day it actually is. Here's an appropriate one to close out, in celebration of Groundhog Day. Is 'Roll Out The Barrel' the same as the 'Pennsylvania Polka?' I can't remember…"
