He didn’t know what else to say so he resorted to humor I would have done the same I think it’s awkward to have people ask you all these things and compliment you about lyrics which sometimes are so personal it’s like they’re commenting on your life
I’ve been trying to explain to people since from under the cork tree that this band is filled with some of the most forward thinking musicians of our time and this interview just adds to my point. They can do no wrong in my eyes, every album is my favorite album. 😂❤
Zach it’s insane the way you make Pete go in depth like this. Every Pete interview is consistently asking the questions I’m really ACTUALLY curious about. i.e. recording process, family life, googling yourself, comparing and contrasting old albums vs new albums. etc I’ve found this show to be the ONLY show in all of FOB history who gets Pete to go THIS in depth, for this amount of time, without getting interrupted mid sentence. Zach, you constantly ask the best questions to your guests. You clearly do your research prior to your interviews and it’s great. (Also, those Bieber interviews are phenomenal as-well 🙏🏾)
I always wonder how it feels as an interviewer when you ask a question and your guest responds very earnestly with “that’s a GREAT question.” As always this was top tier content 👌
I can’t with all the Mania hate these days 🥲 I love that album!!!! I have to say though, this one is higher for me. But yeah… I love everything they’ve ever done.
Infinity on High is my all time favorite album and when I listened to So Much for Stardust the first time I had an emotional, visceral reaction bc I felt like a kid listening to Infinity again.. I’m so glad I’m not insane
Take this to your grave was the first album I fell in love with, saw them when I was 13 at the House of Blues in Cleveland in 2004 long live that album and that time 💙💙💙💙
Fall Out Boy not trying to be relatable is probably the reason I love all their work so much. Their relatability is true relatability. Not what most popular artists think people will relate to. When it loses that authenticity to it or when the music has nothing to say, I lose interest. And hearing Pete talk on here really shows just how much of himself (and the rest of the band) they put directly into their music. It makes each song and record special, and I love them sm for that lol
I feel like I’ve grown along w Pete (lyrically speaking)… I was so excited about their new album I cried bc it’s what I’ve been needing… hope to see them in July!
favorite clips !! 9:39 : "does amazon know this room exist?" 12:28 "guys are we going to be drinking Celsius or what?" 31:03 "wait, does Beyonce have to wear this?"
I don't understand how Fall Out Boy is classified as Pop. Doesn't make sense. That's like classifying Green Day as Pop. Crazy I love the evolution of Fall Out Boy..Awesome every step of the way. .❤ Pete Wentz is the best
I love the comparison of movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once to the way Alternate music is perceived, I think it was very well put and I totally agree
I love the "does Amazon know this room exists?" I'll keep an eye out for the Celsius but how would I get it to him. Just walk up to security like "hi I brought this drink for Pete"?
I’ve been waiting for this! Literally watched the last interview last weekend because I’m in desperate need for long form FOB content. We NEED to talk about this new album.
Epic interview! FOB is 1 of my fav bands. The only topics I’m curious to hear more about is how he got into bass and how he started writing songs. He doesn’t come across as this hardcore 10 hrs a day practice musician. I get this casual vibe like he dabbles in bass and is naturally gifted that it comes easy for him. Either way big fan and like to hear more stories. If your a fan of Jeff Buckley / Chris Cornell my uncle Gary Lucas played guitar on there records. Truly a legendary song writer that led the way for 90’s alternative bands like FOB with that higher vocal range. Maybe have Gary on the show 1 of these days. He still does Buckley tribute tours. 🎸🙌🏽
Just wanted to say I like his analogy of using the best possible ingredients in a simple pizza in relation to music. That’s spot on. Strip it down to core elements. Less is more and his critique of leaving space like Dave Grohl. However I like how overly complex FOB is at times yet it’s still very catchy and hooky. It’s a gift. It’s so theatrical at points. I’m curious to hear a more “bare bones” approach to there music and see how it sounds. Anything they do it lit. Random I mentioned Jeff Buckley and in another older interview Pete said he almost OD’d listening to the Grace record Hallelujah and a reference to keeping his head above water as Jeff drowned so interesting connection. It’s a nuclear bomb of a record as my Uncle said when he finished recording it and the emotion can break or uplift people to levels beyond themselves. Out of body experience as Robert Plant put it. Another weird coincidence is Jeff vibratos the E string off the edge of the fretboard on Hallelujah Chicago live solo which my fretboard invention evolved allowing you to bend any string off the fretboard on any string. Kirk Hammett had done it on Masters of Puppets solo on high E, Flea has done it on bass etc. lots of examples validating it as a legit yet avante garde style of playing.
It reminds me of RFR (radio free roscoe) a TV show around the same time, that was showcasing indi bands in Canada that I got really interested in and it was a scripted show but took input from there fans. It was broadcasted on the N/Noggin in the US. It was about kids in high school and I was a freshman or softmoore when I discovered both.
Pete did not want to make a throw back album. Thats fair. What I don't think was fair is that they kinda marketed it as one. I mean look at that "Love From the other side" gig at Jimmy Kimmel
Two of my fav groups, fob and bts have some similarities like how they started from the bottom, with no money, genuine love for music and in every video theyre in, theres always comments about how they miss the old fob and bts sound like stfu already. Their old music still exist so just listen to the old records. Sometimes i feel like fans want the two groups to not heal from their inner demons and just be miserable forever. Their lyrics and songs will reflect on where their mindset are presently. Theyre not going to be stuck in their younger mentality all the time. Theyve grown and the fans should too.
im sorry but this dude has been a modern day genius; during the immense & vast changes that modern society continually leaped through.. throughout the entirety of his existence. so sick that he's just spilling anything anyone wants to know on a raw unfiltered personal + mental function kind of level. genuine dude, i'd probably do some crazy stuff to ask him - "what are any three ideas you have/had." rambled a bit there if anyone wants to read my 2 cent, 6 cents.
Pete, not taking any of the credit why people identify what's all out boy today... Yes, we would listen to patrick saying a phone book, but I would much rather listen to him saying pete's lyrics. I love listening to this man answer questions in interviews makes me smile. Just add to drive an hour and a half to lexington turned this on, and before I knew it, I was here... Please have him on again❤❤ saw them twice on Tour Dust!! Really need some answers about twin skeletons.
watching pete fight the urge to have four different conversations at the same time 😭
Gemini behavior
this comment made me watch the chat in a completely different and funny way, thank you
We got that ADHD rep 😤😤😤
That's hilarious 😂😂
obsessed with the long pause after pete gives a sincere album explanation then just goes “does amazon know this room exists”
He didn’t know what else to say so he resorted to humor
I would have done the same I think it’s awkward to have people ask you all these things and compliment you about lyrics which sometimes are so personal it’s like they’re commenting on your life
That's freaking hilarious 😂😂I
I love the way Pete talks in the weirdest analogies and references to explain his points even if I don't understand what he means by some of it lol
can always count on the zach sang show to deliver iconic pete content
i love that the album has a nostalgic vibe while still feeling brand new
"I am a diamond on the inside, just add the pressure
Know it's inside me but got no map to my own treasure"
One of the best song lyrics
That “um” in the beginning. But he’s not wrong at 3:20 about Patrick’s voice. He COULD sing the phone book and I would, in-fact, love it.
Another talk show host had Patrick sing a muffin recipe and it was phenomenal!
This City is still one of my favorite songs he has sung for similar reasons
Pete is so humble. He truly appreciates his success and is so present and real.
Fall out boy making a comeback is one of the best thing that ever happened
Zach: "Why do you keep your hair long? Simple question."
Pete: *gives existential monologue*
Love that Pete acknowledged that I as a long-time fan would fight him on what is their "first" album.
Tttyg obviously
Evening out with you girlfriend lol
I’ve been trying to explain to people since from under the cork tree that this band is filled with some of the most forward thinking musicians of our time and this interview just adds to my point. They can do no wrong in my eyes, every album is my favorite album. 😂❤
What do you think of Mania?
Please get Patrick on! It would be great to hear his point of view of the album. Thank you for the interview!😊❤
Zach it’s insane the way you make Pete go in depth like this. Every Pete interview is consistently asking the questions I’m really ACTUALLY curious about.
i.e. recording process, family life, googling yourself, comparing and contrasting old albums vs new albums. etc

(Also, those Bieber interviews are phenomenal as-well 🙏🏾)
I always wonder how it feels as an interviewer when you ask a question and your guest responds very earnestly with “that’s a GREAT question.” As always this was top tier content 👌
Fall Out Boy not being intentionally relatable is crazy. Love them so much for just being genuine 💕
I can’t with all the Mania hate these days 🥲 I love that album!!!! I have to say though, this one is higher for me. But yeah… I love everything they’ve ever done.
I agree with you. I like Mania too. Every album has an own personality. And I love them all.
mania is genuinely so good! gets better with time 👌
I liked mania but folie a deux was my absolute favorite. Every single song! Not a single skip!
loving petes use of the word "like" and zachs use of "sister"
Infinity on High is my all time favorite album and when I listened to So Much for Stardust the first time I had an emotional, visceral reaction bc I felt like a kid listening to Infinity again.. I’m so glad I’m not insane
SAME 😭
I could listen to Pete talk all day long
LFTOS was such a gorgeous song, Pete was right on the nose with wanting it first.
Fall Out Boy has gotten me through some really hard times. I couldn't even put into words how grateful I am for them.
Take this to your grave was the first album I fell in love with, saw them when I was 13 at the House of Blues in Cleveland in 2004 long live that album and that time 💙💙💙💙
I could listen to Pete talk on these pod casts and various interviews literally forever 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fall Out Boy not trying to be relatable is probably the reason I love all their work so much. Their relatability is true relatability. Not what most popular artists think people will relate to.

It makes each song and record special, and I love them sm for that lol
this interview is so lovely to watch because it radiates compassion and sincerity ^_^ thank you for making this
safe to say that Pete's an amazing storyteller from this show
I feel like I’ve grown along w Pete (lyrically speaking)… I was so excited about their new album I cried bc it’s what I’ve been needing… hope to see them in July!
favorite clips !!
9:39 : "does amazon know this room exist?"
12:28 "guys are we going to be drinking Celsius or what?"
31:03 "wait, does Beyonce have to wear this?"
Infinity on High is my absolute favorite and helped me through the rough parts, and I do feel the vibes on So Much for Stardust are similar
Fall out boy was the first rock pop band I actually liked! They have soul! I’m glad they’re still around 🔥
possibly my favorite fall out boy interview from this era, thank you zach!
So... like 70% of the time when Pete said: "You know what I mean? "
I didn't know what he meant.
I don't understand how Fall Out Boy is classified as Pop. Doesn't make sense. That's like classifying Green Day as Pop. Crazy
I love the evolution of Fall Out Boy..Awesome every step of the way. .❤
Pete Wentz is the best
I love the comparison of movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once to the way Alternate music is perceived, I think it was very well put and I totally agree
The way everything is a metaphor 😭
The scream I just let out, I'm so excited
haha!
not even a minute in and he's already referencing an 80's movie ofc he is
I love the "does Amazon know this room exists?" I'll keep an eye out for the Celsius but how would I get it to him. Just walk up to security like "hi I brought this drink for Pete"?
this is a really great interview! with just the right amount of chaotic energy, matching Pete's vibe quite perfectly. well done!
pete!!! when i first got into fob me & you was on repeat for me. may not be a hit to others but it is to me
''Take This To Your Grave'' is the quintessential pop punk record, not a single skip on there.
Hey teenage/early 20 something post- hiatus fob fan, Take This to Your Grave demands your attention
Pete's vistor pass on his hoodie is kind of iconic. I thought it was part of the design.
I’ve been waiting for this! Literally watched the last interview last weekend because I’m in desperate need for long form FOB content. We NEED to talk about this new album.
IMAGINE your dad PETE WENTZ has you text him his lyric ideas while in the car 😭 but because hes your dad its lame
this room is full of dorks! love it!

Me & You is one of my heart songs 😭😭😭💜
25:00 he must be thinking of Kanye's verse "when they get money they dont ball out boy they just buy tight jeans till they nuts hang all out boy"

One of my favorite concerts was F.O.B./Blink 182 in 09 at MSG. Mark Hoppus shaved Pete's emo hair on stage
Yes Patrick could sing anything and I will be obsessed with it
good shit to listen to while doing school work
Take This To Your Grave will forever be their best album, in my humble opinion.
Don't cut it yet! Wait til you tour Australia first 😂😍
been waiting for this one for a while! HYPE

great interview
23:15 i'm like a lawyer IS a hit!!!!!!!
I was influenced to go get a Celsius from my fridge while watching this -- Celsius, sponsor Zach!! Lmao
9:37 💀
This was amazing
amazingly insightful interview as always
Awesome interview, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a great interview
i love the way his brain works!!!!
31:02 the change in thought is killing me
They told me this year is my masters and the doctorate is next .... brooooo .... no you missed my other assignments
All these cooking references got me hungry 😂
Columbus, Ohio show; March of 2024! I'll be there with Green apple and cherry Celcius!! I'll attempt to leave it at the entry doors. ❤
i'm like a lawyer is a hit to me it's gone triple platinum in my house even my mother likes it T-T
This was so great
I FUCKING LOVE HIM👹
“Was that just a telescopic camera nod”
Pete, not taking any of the credit why people identify what's all out boy today... Yes, we would listen to patrick saying a phone book, but I would much rather listen to him saying pete's lyrics. I love listening to this man answer questions in interviews makes me smile. Just add to drive an hour and a half to lexington turned this on, and before I knew it, I was here...

I spent a whole summer with kami garcia bro
My brother says thank you 😂😂😂
“Thank you. Does Amazon know this room exists?”
Pete is such an ENFP I love it
We have a budget for big hero 6 bro
Florence does have great pizza.
I was trying to get her picked as a potential major picture but my iPad was hacked
That other guy looks more like Pete then Pete does I’m confused
7:40 🥵
Breaks my heart to essentially hear we'll never see a return to my favorite FOB form :(
I can prove it to 😂😂
31:59 and have a what??
They tried to short me
It’s amazing when the interviewer isn’t a diversity hire. The questions are profound great interviewer! Bring back Meritocracy!
Don't love the interviewer but I'll watch pete in anything, so there's that.
Radio support? You mean pay to play?
I should be finished .... i finished in 2017
Yo, we would listen to Patrick sing the phone book. Love these guys!
Did anybody keep a “like” counter? I love my muffin man, but he talks like a valley girl.
Nope.can’t watch this guy. Not Pete.
pookie
