Quotes and Taglines:

 * "Welcome to the 7th-Inning Stretch. We do this every day, apparently. No, we don't do this every day. We do this every Monday at 3 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard Time, but that's not what right now is. This is a different time. Sometimes we do pop-up episodes — like when it's the evening time in Korea, for example. Or when it's 5 a.m. in Chicago, as opposed to 5 a.m. in Korea, which is the normal time that we do this."
 * Conversation:
 * Mary (laughing): Josh, are you broadcasting right now?
 * Josh: Yes.
 * Mary: It's, uh, it's 6:05 in the morning.
 * Josh: No, I know. But I just figured, like, for some reason I had that Groundhog Day song stuck in my head and I was just like, 'Maybe if I play it, then it will be exorcised from my mind and it won't be stuck in my head anymore.
 * Mary (extending mug toward screen): Guys, do you want coffee? Okay, well, this is a lovely, unexpected surprise.
 * Josh: I mean that's how it works, right? If you have a song stuck in your head and you just keep playing it, then it's no longer stuck in your head. I can't even tell how these things work now…because as somebody said, every day's blursday.
 * Conversation:
 * Mary: I think that might be the earliest fanfare I have ever gotten in the morning. Yeah, I think that might be.
 * Josh: Well, there was one time I gave you one at one a.m. Do you remember that? But did that count as the night before — was it the evening — or did that count as the morning?
 * Mary: Well, that was on Jean (Korean viewer's) time…in the weird understanding of time.
 * Josh: What is Jean's time?
 * Mary: I don't know.
 * Josh: Well, Jean's time is the future. We know that. How's it looking in the future, Jean? Guys, time is elastic. Every day is the same.
 * "If there's some good (requests), you can write those down, I guess. You know what I mean. It's just shorthand for 'not bad ones,' right? 'Cause 'not bad ones' is, like, that's three words. 'Good ones' is only two words, so that's shorthand."
 * "We should do the Stretch, I guess. Every day…what's a day? I don't know. But every day, every time we do this show, I play 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame.' It's like my own personal 'I Got You Babe.' And maybe it is for you also, if you watch regularly."
 * "This is a good song, while we're on the topic of the elasticity and illusionary-ness of time. I don't even know what day it is." (on Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce)
 * "I feel like I've played that song before — I mean, I know I've heard it before — but it feels kind of familiar. Like I played it fairly well, so I feel like maybe I've heard it recently or played it recently or something because I don't usually have that one so locked in." (after playing Time In A Bottle)
 * "If it wasn't for Mondays at 3 p.m., I would never know what time it is. That's the only thing keeping me grounded is to be, like, 'We've got a show to do for these weirdos.' How's it going, weirdos?"
 * "This seems like a fitting song to go out with. Is 'Roll Out The Barrel' the same as the 'Pennsylvania Polka,' or is that a different song altogether? I can't keep it straight." (N.B. It is a different song altogether, and he played the former.)
