Popularity rank 81 #9. Watching your friends on VH1

February 8, 2005

RONI: Man. Hard to believe. Kevin Edo, our bassist just two years ago, started "Jumpstart Malady", the most successful rock band in twenty years.
KEVIN EDO: (silent)

RONI: And here we are, still in Brooklyn, watching the "Behind the Music" about him. About Kevin Edo. So weird.
DAN: Shh! It's back on!

VH1 NARRATOR: "For several years before forming 'Malady', Edo toiled in several small unsuccessful N.Y. bands..."

DAN: Oh my God, John, get in here, they just mentioned us on TV!!
CHRISTINA: I... I gotta call m-my mom....

Popularity rank 83 #228. Everyone is a Ghostbuster

April 7, 2009

JOHN: I think you can break down any group of people into Ghostbusters roles.

JOHN: Like with our band: Roni's our Igon, the technical genius. You're our Ray, the heart. Christina's our Winston, the workmanlike outsider.

JOHN: And I'm Peter Venkman, the charming leader who gets the chicks and saves the day.
DAN: That's cool.

DAN: That club owner last night was, like, our Vigo...
JOHN: No, he was our Zuul. Vigo's from 2. Vigo's not canon.
