Dave said that when Jon called him to join the band, he had just been accepted to Juliard. Dave said "I worked my @$$ off to get in." Dave also talked about the band being unsure of fans responses just before Crush was released. Since it had been a while since their last album and the music world had changed. Dave made some remarks about critics and he said the band's victory lap was Giants Stadium last year.
The critics also got another jab from a DJ that was interviewed, sorry I can't remember his name. It made me feel good. He basically said critics are jealous people and don't like artisits who write catchy lyrics or who have good looks.
Jon also talked about his "gray" period the summer of 1991. He went to a therapist and was late. He wanted to spill his guts and the therapist said his time was up he would have to come back the next week. Jon said that is when he decided he would figure himself out on his own. He also made this gesture by flipping his hand off his chin (So Italian, it was great!)
