Joey: I remember just giving them what they wanted that day because we wanted to get the hell out of there.

Donnie: I was caught off-guard on that one shot and they cut my head and put it on that. Cause I had a Red Sox jersey on. And they were like, “That ain’t Christmas” and I was like, “Yes [it is], it’s red.” I tried my best to hold out.

Danny: We were kinda told get on the sled or you’ll never make another record again.

Jordan: We were in a rush, we were on the road, we had to get it done. And that’s what happens.

Donnie: You know, your record cover – most of the other stuff, when you’re making a record for the first time, you don’t think “One day I’m gonna have my own sleeping bag!” But you do think, “I’m gonna have my own record.” At least you used to. And to see that record in the record store... well, it sold well. But it’s pretty gut-wrenching to look at.

Danny: Yes.

Donnie: But we’re happy with it now. Now we appreciate it. Now Joe, you were the right one. We look back on it and we say you know what Joe, it was a sweet, innocent album cover, we should’ve just went with it.

Joey: You went with it alright.

Donnie: Your innocence was pure and golden, Joe!
