Jeremy played on a baseball team with Dooley when they were ten years old. They didn't talk to each other except when Jeremy made fun of Dooley's unnecessary flip-up sunglasses. Joe's upbringing was balanced between the lawfullness and justice from the cops in his family, and the party-hard antics of Uncle "T". ( On a sidenote, make sure you shave before meeting Uncle T, otherwise he will call you a child-molester, a terrorist or both.....YET HE HAS A WALRUS MUSTACHE)Jay is not a big guy, but can probably eat most of you under the table. I've seen this timid guy dominate 2 full meals and an appetizer at Denny's in under a half-hour. Jay and Dooley went to highschool together, Jeremy and Joe went to highschool together. They all went/are going to college together. They all are avid skin-flute players.
Jeremy is allergic to peanuts and strawberies, which clearly indicates he is weaker than the other members of the band who do not have allergies..(especially Dooley)
