That made me smile as well and made me think of the Single Video Theory "it's Stone's fault"
Anyway, that whole interview was really nice. Seems like they're really digging deep to find stuff that they can play as a surprise. Wellwater Conspiracy's Felicity's Surprise being mentioned is definitely interesting.

Mike doesn't look well at all, it's concerning.
He looks fine to me.
I actually was thinking how great they all look. Every 7 years I get 2 weeks off for the holidays when Christmas and New Years land on Wednesdays. I always put on weight. I can’t imagine being more or less on vacation perpetually and with essentially limitless money to indulge. I think it’s pretty clear Ed enjoys some red wine regularly, but I’d be happy to be in his shape at his age. To be in Jeff shape would be a dream. They all look healthy to me. Two days and I’ll be close enough to tell.

I feel like Jeff is the glue that holds the band together. He is very passionate about the group and their legacy.
Agreed.
Yes, to me, this more than any album cycle, this feels like Jeff's band for some reason. Maybe it's the interviews and his tone, but he seems most excited and surprised by everything they have going right now.

Nobody has asked the obvious question: was he in need of a BM? Not being mean or joking, but it's clearly a possibility.
My guess is there is no dynamic issue whatsoever. You'll see in two days when he's shredding and interacting @ the rail, throwing picks, and pointing to the crowd as always.
"For me, it's all about the time we're having just playing the songs. So if it's kind of a mindless good time, then....."

This looks like it was shot the same day as the Stern show (all wearing the same clothes)
The Stern interview had them all up pretty early in the morning.
Full day of press, plus rehearsals, upcoming tour...
Who knows how many interviews he did that day
Mike was probably exhausted.
Zane didn't have a whole lot of questions for Mike either; as the interview kind of seemed to be dominated mostly by Ed & Jeff
Perhaps Mike was just letting them take the wheel.
He was pretty upbeat during the Stern interview
Who knows

Don’t worry Ed. He’s pissed a lot of us all off too
“He’d start to piss me off a little bit.” EDDIE VEDDER talks working with producer ANDREW WATT on their album “Dark Matter,” and the process behind writing PEARL JAM’s new song “Wreckage.”
“I can’t remember a thing. I really don’t,” Vedder said in a recent interview on Apple Music 1 with Zane Lowe when Lowe asked him what was going on the day he wrote “Wreckage.” Vedder then continued, recalling how Watt pushed him and the band and that he just wanted to get the song done:
“A lot of it I think was written on the mic. I think probably that one was a lot of just... And Andrew would, to be honest, he'd start to piss me off a little bit and then I'd try to do something really good just to say like, ‘Fuck you. Back off.’ Seriously. I would be like... There was one day I said, ‘Look, I need tonight off, or I need to sleep or I need to do something, but you have... Work with Mike [McCready] on this. Just, I'm trying to buy myself frigging eight hours or 10 hours of not... I just need to clear.’ Because we're already 15 days in a row of just, go, go, go. He said, ‘I get it. I totally get it. Little dude, I'm with you. I will stay an extra three weeks, whatever it takes, I will do this, I will do this.’ I said, ‘Okay good, because come on it's going good, but something's going to break here.’
“He said, ‘So how about this? You go home at 10:00, but before you go, if you get the bridge on the Stone [Gossard] thing and then the outro on the other... Oh, and then if we can just do... And stay with us here, we're going to record that other thing..’ So then that was one of those things I was like, ‘All right, give me 10 minutes.’ I went in and f*ckin’ wrote and sang it and I just wanted to get the f*ck out... I just needed eight hours to myself.
“And let me clarify so I don't have to call him and apologies, let me clarify that… that was part of being pushed and we should be pushed. And maybe when you're starting to feel a little shaky and vulnerable or whatever, that could be the opening to access some of the deeper shit that might be normally closed down. It's not like you have just a zipper. It's like you get into these layers and maybe being on edge might be, I think ended up being helpful. And so I appreciate the fact. I mean, look, the whole band we started this group as kind of, where we all picked up instruments, because in some ways it was a f*ck you to authority or parents who wanted you to have a real job or whatever. I think that's always been in us. So to have Andrew gave us a fire, it wasn't we were fighting with him, but it was good to be pushed. And I don't think some of it would've happened quite the way it did if we hadn't been...!!

That was a great section. Reinforced my vote for Watt as MVP of Dark Matter.
