Enema of the State song is kind of like a tattoo, like a moment in time, but it aged well. It's not like one that you're looking at like, Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed. It's something we're proud of.

Usually, if I'm coming to Europe, I'm on a boat for seven days, so I spend the seven days doing a bunch of things. I'll do cardio for an hour or an hour-and-a-half and weights, just light weights.
