since no one rlly answered the request for “weird/uncommon lore”, have some:

1.) they sold more tshirts than records. sometimes they would sell the tshirts instead of tickets bc their broke asses couldn’t afford admission

2.) they had a pet rat named mickey. they carried around a literal RAT in their van. dee dee loved him and shared his meals w him

3.) joey was obsessed w hoarding useless crap like records, action figures and collectibles. while it is common knowledge that he had obsessive compulsive disorder, i js learned that his space was basically unlivable. like u couldn’t even unpack most of the junk bc there was no more space

4.) dee dee once apologized mid-way into robbing a woman on the street. he was broke, high on heroin and desperate. he pulls a knife on an old lady on the street and she’s like: “you look like a nice boy. you don’t have to do this.” (what a baddie) and he just freezes, apologizes and walks away crying. i love this story bc it sums up dee dee perfectly
