> Do you have any special pre-show ritual you have to do before you go on anywhere? Or any rituals specific to do for a particular city or region?

> Scott and I have to play frisbee for at least 10 minutes before every show.  It helps warm up our hands, concentrate our minds, and get us in our own little world.

> How did you come up with the "Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table?" Were you an ECW fan?

> That's one of the two lines on Pinkerton I didn't write.  I took it from an essay of a classmate of mine.  Though the person in question didn't want credit.

Replying to a redditor:

> Hi rivers! I met you on the cruise and you were super shy, as was I.... You are a huge role model to me, and I totally respect your work and your personality. But my question is, what is going through your mind when you meet us? Is it being overwhelmed? Annoyance? Happiness?…

> I usually like to hear what you're excited about right now in your life.  Whether it's a book, a movie, another band, or some new hobby.  Teach me something.  Tell me something I don't already know.
