The Toxic Twins, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, took some lighthearted jabs at each other on the Jonathon Ross Show. The best part of the exchange begins at around 3:10.
Here's some excerpts from the interview:
Jonathan Ross: So, I suppose one of the last big fallings out you had is when you accepted a job on American Idol and didnt think to pick up the phone and tell one of your oldest friends?
Steven Tyler: Nah I dont think thats how it happened. I think they were just jealous because I was sitting next to J-Lo. Hes always had a big crush on her.
Joe Perry [to Ross]: No, it was more what you said. [To Tyler] But I thought it was a good job for you. You got to dump all your one-liners and
Steven Tyler: And not put them in the songs, huh?
Joe Perry: No, I never thought it took away from
Ross: Now, I dont want to start an argument.
Steven Tyler: Were not fighting!
Joe Perry: No, this is normal.
Ross [to Perry]: But you didnt know, did you? You found out the same as everyone else?
Joe Perry: Yeah, I read it somewhere.
Steven Tyler: And two months prior to that they were looking for another lead singer so I figured Id fix them good, right?

Joe Perry: Well, after Id read in the paper that he was trying out for Led Zeppelin
Ross: So youre saying, I did this bad thing, but only because you did this?
Joe Perry: This goes back a long way. Forty years
Steven Tyler: Lets take it back. Lets see if we can get to first girlfriends.
Joe Perry: I was just thinking about that today. Because there is a connection there.
Steven Tyler: You see this? How epiphanous!
Ross: Who stole whose first girlfriend?
Steven Tyler: We were in an apartment building and we all lived together, and I thought that was the secret to making it. That was the secret: the band being together and writing songs. I said to Joe, Hey man, were together finally, were writing songs! And he moved out in two weeks with his girlfriend. And Ive never forgiven him!
Joe Perry [to Ross]: And this girl was part of his past lets put it that way.
Ross: His old girlfriend?
Joe Perry [to Tyler]: Well, I dont know. You never really
Steven Tyler: I never really told you what happened with that.
Joe Perry: And you know what? I dont really care!
Steven Tyler: It came out in a song called Love In An Elevator. Actually it was I Dont Want To Kiss Your Thing
