Taylor Hanson: No, this is leather, leather. That right there is a baby cow. That is an entire baby cow. PETA is about to call me; they're going to come to my house. I am a fan of good leather.

Isaac Hanson: Was that John Cirpess or Lord's or somebody?

Taylor: It wasn't Lord's… It's terrible, I don't remember the name of the designer… It was a small boutique downtown. You basically need to have a couple thousand dollars to throw at your look. We had a really good friend who helped us do some styling. She essentially would knock on as many doors as possible and say, "Hey, do you wanna dress these guys?" I love that jacket too — that's a fantastic jacket. Still have it too.

Isaac: That was the photographer's dog.

Zac Hanson: And the photographer's name was Amy Mary…

Isaac: James? Cannot remember her last name.

Zac: The dog is in the band. His name is Apples. He's in the studio right now.

Taylor: We have an Apples pillow; we have a dog pillow that we keep in our studio.

Isaac: It's a Boston terrier; it's a reference to "How do you like them apples?"

Zac: It had to do with the fact that I'm — and especially when I was younger, I was really obnoxious.

Taylor: Because of sugar. He responds to sugar in a very distinct way.

Zac: I'm not sure if Taylor's defending himself or attacking me.

Taylor: This is what happened: We were standing there in London, at Trafalgar Square. Zac was standing probably over here and did one of those, "Hey, guys!"

Zac: You may think it's Taylor grabbing, pulling me, but it's actually Taylor trying to save himself from falling.

Taylor: I'm being victimized by Zac.

Zac: There's just something wrong with everyone. Taylor's nose looks like he's got some sort of fungal infection where it's growing.

Taylor: It's next to the Wizard of Oz.

Taylor: I'm just the mistreated Hanson.

Taylor: I was left out of that, again.

Zac: Hold on, hold on. Notice that my shirt has four stripes? And is a T-shirt, V-neck? Isaac is wearing a zip-up — green, with three black stripes and three white stripes. Not the same shirt. His is a pullover.

Taylor: The truth is, the stripes, that was such a thing. There are some key style choices. I'm like, "Hey, I'm playing sports here but I'm really loose here." Isaac's more like, training in his tracksuit.

Isaac: Do you remember that? I have no idea what that is.

Taylor: We were given that by someone during a press tour.

Zac: You know what it is? That has got to be a homemade statue of the man from Milwaukee.

Taylor: You're probably right. That is exactly what that is.

Isaac: That is exactly what that is.

Zac: This is a fan-made, probably clay, statue of the character from the bonus track off Middle to Nowhere.

Isaac: I blame the photographers. They were always like, "Do something!" and I'm like, "I don't know!" What I really wanted to do was give the finger.

Taylor: Why is this so weird? As a fan, I think it's just us recreating the Beatles cover.

Isaac: It's also the Anthem cover.

Taylor: The thing about photos taken of you over the years is that they take on a second life because they go on to someone else's Photoshop thing.
