Chester: There was another time when Mike was in a really foul mood and we had to make a pit stop so he
could use a porta potty.
Mike: Chester?!
Joe: I remember this one!
Chester: Anyways, Mike went to use the porta
potty and we were waiting inside the RV. It was Joe's idea, but we all got out and started to rock the thing back and forth.
We didn't mean to, but we ended up tipping the porta potty over while Mike was in it!
Mike: That was so not funny.
Joe:
Yeah it was, you should have seen the look on your face when you got out of there!
Rob: Mike was covered in crap. He had
to strip down before we let him back on the bus because he smelled so bad!
Chester: Then we attacked him with air freshener.
Brad: Lysol!
"What was the hardest part about making the album?"
Mike: Sitting in the same room with Brad for
two months. But then we got on tour and it just got worse.
Brad: I didn't shower a lot then.
Mike: He showers less
now.
"Is there any female influence in particular to any of your songs?"
Mike: Musically, I'm a big fan of Dido.
I also like a ton of female groups from Kitty to Madonna to Sneaker Pimps. Portishead. If you ask Brad, he'll tell you he
loves his Britney Spears.
