Joel uses Mentadent toothpaste.

In high school, Joel was "attacked" with Ben Gay by some football players. They rubbed it all over "a place where Ben Gay should not be rubbed." They would grab him in the locker room after showers and such. I thought this was a one time deal but it seems to have happened frequently.

Lars from Rancid tattooed 'Journey To The End' under Benji's Rancid tattoo.

Benji's best subjects are history and English. His worst subject is math.

Joel's pants fell down during the June 23rd show of Warped Tour '02. During the 2nd song, which was "Festival Song", the button on his pants broke. Everyone saw his Spiderman boxers. He stuffed a towel down his pants to cover up, and he was blushing the entire time.
