Joey went live on Instagram earlier today! He reminisced about spending time in Anaheim in 1989 when New Kids on the Block were starting to get famous. He remembered going to get cheeseburgers at the McDonalds across the street, so he decided to get lunch there again today.
Joey was wondering where his slippers went. Turns out Donnie took them! (From Joey's Instagram stories at the Los Angeles show)
