- benji and joel used to play baseball in highschool and before they got into music, the twins dreamed of being pro baseball players

- benji and joel had worked as shampoo boys at a beauty salon once.  Joel said that if he wasn't with the band, he'd be a shampoo boy:
" I had that job once, I enjoyed it. "

- joel's first kiss was in the 10th grade: " it was horrible"

- joel's worst habit is spitting : " i spit alot.  i spit when i walk down the street all the time.  i don't spit when i'm indoors, but when i'm outside or onstage, i spit alot.  i don't know why. "

- joel likes the coffee in Australia better than in the U.S.  He also likes flat white coffee : "... the coffee here is better than America... more... 10 times better than America 'cause i like coffee and the flat white is delicious. "
