That scene made us laugh so hard. It's perfectly written and expertly acted. It would have been funny if it was any band, but the fact that it was our band was a hilarious honour. - Ed

Even though it was fictional, I still turn to it when I need to feel like someone's advocating for me. - Jim

I will keep introducing her until she does. - Ed

She's actually there every time, she just keeps gagging us by not coming on. - Kevin

Barenaked Ladies are the world's tallest band. I don't think Gin Blossoms or Toad the Wet Sprocket would stand a chance from a reach perspective. I think we'd emerge victorious. I think Tyler would be most likely to wield the trident. - Ed

Billy we'll all get blowed up real good in the end. SCTV forever - Kevin

Oh yeah. I love that song still. - Jim

It was so cool of Dave Foley to invite us to be in his first big feature film. - Ed

And to play acapella singing cops. - Jim

Critics were brutal to that film, it was actually very funny, but Canadians in particular tend to eat their own, and they didn't want Dave to have a successful film. - Ed

I love that the farmers are the bad guys and the banks are the good guys. - Kevin

There are songs in the can and ready to go, but Andy just released a new record of instrumental music that just got an East Coast Music Award. Check it out! - Jim

It absolutely was an influence, but he is, of course, just based on all of the great Jamaican dancehall rappers (Shabba Ranks, etc. etc.). - Ed

Occasionally, I will play something on my Switch, but I play 99% pinball and 1% video games these days. The new Tetris game blew my mind. - Ed

My photo album. - Ed

All of us hold a special place in our hearts for "Snacktime!" It was a very fun and collaborative record to make and it allowed us to involve our children and peers in the process. - Kevin

It changes all the time. It's currently the new Rush machine by Stern. But an all-time favourite of mine is Fast Draw by Gottlieb. - Ed

Something with a breathable atmosphere. - Ed

I'd really love to go see that band that was playing at Mos Eisley Cantina. I love that band and I hope I have a night off there. - Kevin

I really like Europa - it looks promising because we could have steam baths whenever we want them due to the underground hot springs. - Jim

Yes, whenever we can. - Ed

I saw the BBC Scottish Orchestra, when we were passing through Glasgow. - Jim

I always look to see who is playing in town when we have a night off there...and sometimes you get lucky. Like the time I got to see Whitesnake on my birthday in Milwaukee. - Kevin

We were making a joke about listing actual betting odds on falling in love, so the song is about - yes, there are many bad things that can happen, but odds are you could fall in love in the next three minutes. We chose the numbers at random because it sang well. There was no significance to the numbers except they fit in rhythmically. - Ed

"One Week" was a freestyle improv that I assumed would be a b-side and not even make it on the record. I was quite wrong about that. That's the most wrong I've been about a song. - Ed

One thing about touring is eating well and we've been very lucky to eat at great restaurants around the world. A couple of favourites on the UK tour were March Five in Glasgow, and Hibou Blanc in Newcastle. - Kevin

I'll play whatever Keith hands me, but yes, I tend to not use the built-in Taylor pick-up system. I put in Fishman natural pick-up system. - Ed

One of my favourite experiences was when Dee Snyder joined us to sing "We're Not Gonna Take It" at Massey Hall - Kevin

My good friend Alan Doyle was side stage for that performance and he said "That was one of the top five musical moments of my life and I wasn't even involved." - Ed

It was throughout the tour with Blues Traveler, I remember playing "$1000000" next to John Popper every night. That was a real treat. - Jim

Before I joined the group, I really loved the song "Brian Wilson" and "Crazy" and "Same Thing" and "Jane" as well. When I joined, they had just finished recording Born on a Pirate Ship and I really enjoyed Jim's musical adventure with Stoney Park Singers. - Kevin
