 Mike likes donuts and hotel coffe, and Starbucks coffee aswell, maybe just coffee in general.
 Mike likes to have those little packages of donuts on tour.
 Mike dressed up as a vampire, or as he said "Count Mikeula", for Halloween 2004.

 
Tre's info and facts
 Tré has his left nipple peirced.
 Tré once milked a dog because he wanted milk for his coffee, and the house he was staying in didn't have any.
 Tré was class president for a time when he was in high school.
 Tré is the only person to ever climb the Universal Studios ball (their trademark) in Orlando, Florida. He climbed the ball at the 1998 MTV Music Awards. It landed him in the top 100 red carpet acts.
 Tré loves to golf.
 Tré only has one testicle. He lost the other one in a tragic unicycle accident. He was riding it on a stage at a high school near his home town when suddenly he fell off the stage and landed on the unicycle. His testicle went inside his body, and the doctor examining him took one look and said "hmm... translucent scrotum..."
 Tré played violin in the second grade.
 Tré's dad built Lawrence Livermore's house.
 Tré actually went to a clown college before the band got big which explains his wild antics.
 Tré uses the same drumkit, Slingerland, as the drummer from The Who does, which is Keith Moon. This is also of course Slingerland, and oddly the two drummers have the same wild and crazy stage antics.
 In an interview on Trio, Tré has said that if he were any female celebrity he would be "that chick from the Golden Girls, because she's old and loose".
 Tré once caught a shark on accident, and after beating it with a baseball bat multiple times, it finally died when he hit it with the stump of the bat.
 Tré is the godfather of Billie Joe's kids.
 In an interview, they were asked what kind of music they liked, and Tré answered, " I like Fisher Price music, nursery rhymes, and the alphabet song"................Mike "seconded the motion".
 In the Walking Contradiction video Tre is chased by a bread truck.
 Tré's dad was a Vietnam helicopter pilot.
 Tré likes his shoes.
 On MTV's Wildest moments of the VMA's there's a short Clip of Tré with David Grohl from The Foo Fighters (and previously from Nirvana) singing to Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People".
 Tré dressed as a priest at a gig (in Dublin). It was probably in reference to Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) who is a big fan.
 Tré dressed up as Benji Madden of Good Charlotte for Halloween, 2004.
 Tré made his first records with The Lookouts when he was 12.
 Tré is short for Tres, which in French means very, which makes him very cool by no mistake.
 Tré hopes that if if the band does star in the American Idiot movie, he gets to dress in drag.
