 '''Pat:''' Yeah, with "Hash Pipe" it's strange that they chose the phrase, the two words "hash pipe" as the problem when, y'know, they listened to the parts about transsexual prostitutes that maybe had been a little more troublesome.
 ===I Was a Scientist, This Was an Experiment===
 ''Commentary for "[[Dope Nose]]". Details Cuomo experimenting with drugs during the writing of the song.''
+'''Rivers:''' I don't remember the exact amounts of substances, but it was definitely tequila and Ritalin. I took early one morning, like six in the morning. I was... this was an experiment.
+'''Pat:''' You took some tequila?
+'''Rivers:''' Yeah? I had... What is it--
+'''brian:''' Oh, you had it exactly measured out too, for sure.
+'''Rivers:''' Yeah cause I was a scientist. This is an experiment. This is an experiment in songwriting. So what happens when you wake up at six in the morning and take these substances and try to write a song? And the first morning I did it, I wrote Dope Nose, and it took about the length of the song, three minutes done. And then I was like, whoa, that's cool. So the next morning, I did the same experiment again and I wrote Hash Pipe, and there were two singles just like that. And then, for some reason, I lost interest in that particular method and moved on.
+'''Pat:''' Well let's go back to that method. It's that simple.
+'''Rivers:''' Well, that's the irony of searching for the one method to write a great song, and that's that whatever works once probably isn't going to work more than one, or two times more than that, and then you have to move on. So there's really no point in trying to find the one method.

 ''Commentary for "[[The Greatest Man That Ever Lived]]".''
+'''Rivers:''' My first demo of The Greatest Man, it sounded kind of choppy cause it was basically written in pieces, where every 20 seconds or so, it shifts gears and goes into a new musical world. But I had confidence and I knew once I brought it to the band and we all started to play it together, just keep running through it, it would start to flow, and that's what happened. I think it's quite an accomplishment to compose a song that should feel so disjointed like that one. And because we're a great band, we make it work.
+'''Scott:''' Crazy thing about Greatest Man is there's so much danger in playing it live.
+'''Brian:''' Oh, so much danger. [laughs]
+'''Scott:''' I think we might be gearing up to do that soon, and we rehearse that song for hours, man. Just the vocals alone, you can rehearse for a week.
