What's Ed say at start of Who Ever Said

Just listening for the first time in hi-def with headphones - can anyone else make out what Ed says before the lyrics start? Starts at about 00:24.

    I heard some talk in one of the songs. Don't remember at the moment which one.
    "Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"

    I keep thinking I hear "March 26...mumble mumble" towards the end of Quick Escape.

    I was wondering if anyone had isolated this yet.  I thought it was like some type of mission control type dialog as this is the part where they are blasting off to Mars

    That's what I've thought too. Definitely thought I heard mach and 26.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    He says "hit me with your rhythm stick".

    Its a bit clearer on the hi res version. He says it funny, too. Emphasis on the word "stick" when he says it.

    I’ve listened to it a few more times.  The more I listen the more it sounds like Ed is saying “Fax me some halibut.”

    He's saying when the 10C singles will be shipped out but no one can make out what he says.

    Johnny? Johnny who? Johnny Carson? Did Ed insult Johnny on The Tonight Show?

    Idk if it’s because so read this before listened with headphones, but this is what I’m hearing too
    "Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."
