  • Auditioning for NOFX
  • Fat Mike changed his name
  • Learning the bands songs on way to the first show
  • Being non political in a punk band
  • Remaining an independent band
  • How the band has stayed together over 20 years
  • Trying to get into Groundlings

  • Remembering the first time the band could afford a hotel
  • Having crazy fans follow him home
