Patrick Stump - Synesthesia, pranks + ADHD

Protect Patrick Stump at all costs! The Fall Out Boy frontman caught up with Kerrang! Radio Breakfast host Sophie K, and chatted all things Fall Out Boy.
Patrick spoke in detail for the first time about his synesthesia (how words, letters, and even FOB songs have colours in his mind), how Pete Wentz's prank career has changed over the years, his most cringe moments, the "elder" emo phenomenon, his love for I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, how his ADHD diagnosis has helped him, his ultimate collab, and much much more!

As a 5'2"ish woman who has met Patrick, I can confirm that he is much shorter than you would expect. He gives wonderful hugs. 10/10. Would recommend 🤣

[@insomniousluci2931]

Patrick Stump gave me the single best hug I’ve ever had in my life

[@chelseahulmston9056]

I've neve been more jealous in my life of two Internet strangers......you both hugged Patrick....so jealous.

[@marys.9367]

Oh man, I'd love a Patrick Stump hug

[@IcYsTaR8]

Going in being a 6'1 woman gonna give him a hug at the concert in June and I can't wait but will squat down for him

[@whyjordie]

I’m 5’9 and he is so tiny irl - but yes he gives the best hugs in the WORLD

[@HunterPanoch]

He's happy, he's healthy, he's fucking adorable 🤧💜 I've missed him so much

[@solarcynicism]

he's so regular like i feel like i could sit and chat with him for hours i looove when huge celebrities r just.. normal !!

[@Bastet32]

My inner 13 year old heart was smiling throughout the whole thing, high vibes, cute joyful interview, open hearts

[@chasingstars4]

just hearing his voice makes me feel so comfortable and safe i love this man so much 😭

[@jeremywaygay]

Hearing Patrick talk about his ADHD was really cathartic.....also i teared up at him hoping that the fans would be making the same movie too 😭I loved the album and I'm so happy that he and the rest of the band are proud of it

[@CirclingTheDead]

It’s so good to hear from him in such depth after 5 years with no record. Patrick just radiates so much genuine positivity and this interview was incredible!!

[@Greysona]

Patrick describing having seen “clips” from tiktok like it’s a movie is so funny to me

[@melindamontoya9457]

🥹

[@tetehenkes]

He radiates such Winnie The Pooh energy! It's so cute🥰

[@becca4425]

the fact that he got arrested for a liscense related thing im laughing so hard

[@Tomukami]

Back when I was 10-11 I met fall out boy at some kind of meet and greet. I’ve had ADHD my whole life and I remember my mom telling them and they all said something along the lines of like “oh we have it to, and tell him that” and some other follow your dreams esc stuff. But that moment really stuck with me and I felt alot closer to the bands music from that day on Edit: I’m 18 now and I think about this daily

[@starprintshop3151]

That's dope ❤❤❤❤

[@Greysona]

Love how they collectively have ADHD, that’s so neat

[@rachelmorgan7565]

lmao as someone who also has adhd i think that’s why we all relate to them so much

[@wazzup1212121212]

he is just sooo sweet and charming i could listen to him talk forever

[@Amira-qk3td]

He has such captivating eyes 👀

[@PaigeAKAPaper]

Patrick is just always so kind. Just a truly great dude

[@Feedyourchickens]

Hearing him talk about his ADHD makes me feel so seen because I always thought there was something wrong with me when I got my diagnosis

[@beth_walker9]

patrick having adhd reads so hard cause I love him so much and people nothing ive ever been passionate about has ever been neurotypical

[@Tiffmidon]

I also have synesthesia. For me, Love From the Otherside is a deep red, burgundy maybe. Heartbreak is a light blue, and Sugar is a mix of yellow and orange but mostly yellow.

[@Luzruem137]

LFTO for me is like a dark navy blue - HFSG is like a dark yellow-ish color, and Sugar is burgundy-ish!

[@anastasiawhite605]

23:47 this part is funny because MY embarrassing moment that I always kick myself over is MEETING Patrick stump. I made a complete fool of myself and i wilt everytime I think about it

[@twerktospec]

This video isn't about you

[@Unhate]

same lmao😭😭😭

[@turinturambar9846]

nah now you gotta tell us what went down 😭😭

[@willbennett7993]

@@twerktospec jesus christ go find something else to be mad about. we all love fob and patrick so calm down (you’ve been negative on multiple comments now which is the only reason i’m even acknowledging you) normally i wouldn’t reply to haters like you

[@tomaeto]

I was so shaky and quiet when I met him >_

[@malenalombardi4766]

cutest interview ever 😭

[@dinialim1698]

i could listen to him talking for hours 🥹 thank you for this interview!

[@dhiaalfa]

helo

[@SoMuchForStardust_]

Hey , listen them on Spotify!

[@theoboegoddess]

He genuinely has one of the most satisfying voices ever.

[@Nerd1090]

Kerrang always has the best Fall Out Boy interviews. Now I need to know what Patrick's favorite ITYSL sketch is

[@makennareavis2682]

i MUST KNOW

[@willbennett7993]

i love how they changed the background to blue when patrick talked ab it 😭😭 i love him sm

[@marys.9367]

He's so sweet and genuine, thank you!

[@MariaDanieladelaRosa]

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!! My cheeks hurt from smiling. I love him so much, he really has my entire heart ahhhhh. GREAT INTERVIEW! the interviewer was dying as well... God! I'm never going to get over the most gigantic crush I have on this man. Whether I'm 13 or 27... (him biting his lips at the end? goddamn)

[@willbennett7993]

i love listening to patrick’s interviews sm ❤❤

[@carrielynnliston]

This man has been doing a ton of interviews lately!

[@twerktospec]

Must need the money

[@bronstonpickle]

could also be something to do with promoting his band’s upcoming album

[@LakeOfRageAndFire]

@@twerktospec Lol he’s getting paid regardless

[@Amira-qk3td]

And nobody is complaining he’s so talented

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

He's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable

[@janetlewis7381]

So cool how he explains here why Pete writes the lyrics, and then he makes the music for it....❤

[@CTFC44]

I have severe depression and I struggle to talk about it most of the time, but Patrick, you have inspired me to be more open and honest about my mental health difficulties, because you are such an honest, open, down to earth and humble human being.

[@vee4maffu]

i loved this interview it was so nice to hear Patrick talk iv missed him and i love when the interviewers are fans they just understand more what to ask and they actually listen and just wait till they can ask there next question

[@saraheklund1099]

Patrick is such a good human. I met him on the concourse at the concert in Rogers in August. No one recognized but me and my brother in law. He did seem surprised.

[@greenade5669]

Sophie is so intelligent, smart and delicate interviewer. Her conversations are so enjoyable to watch. And undoubtedly, Patrick is incredibly talented person.

[@mattgannon7113]

pat being an ITYSL guy makes him that much better

[@JuneleSebastian]

20:44 Patrick is the cutest 😊

[@f0kxi]

15:44 The most humble way of saying "I'm a Based God"

[@newhumantype]

just the notion that patrick has ever been on tiktok had me howling lmao. i would've bet my life that he'd never used it.

[@lunarwoolf_doctorwho]

Patrick's expressions are so adorable. I love it when he bites his lip. He's so adorable ❤

[@boopmcgoo]

wow she is such a great interviewer! those questions were so thoughtful and unique

[@nikitaashok3818]

What a fantastic interview! Patrick was smiling throughout and so at ease and interested in the questions! Speaks to Sophie's skills as an interviewer. Loved the bit where they turned the background blue to match Patrick's vision of it lol. Good one to watch again when I'm feeling down, it's over and here I'm still smiling :)

[@carcrashheart]

He is the sweetest person in existence :) I love him and his face and voice so much.

[@moonatomic8074]

Patrick!!!! 💖💘💝💞💕💓 Ahhh he’s such a sweetheart but can melt your face off at a live show with those vocals

[@katej2284]

How are there not more comments about his La Vie En Rose moment? :)

[@j0p117]

This is amazing. I went through life never having heard of synesthesia until I got to college and an art professor explained. That’s when I learned I had it. Patrick is explaining it exactly as I have it. Except my W’s are not blue lol pretty cool we have different colors for words/letters

[@Daanii.Official]

I have synesthesia when I was in college. When I heard Gene Shinozaki's singing voice (not beatboxing), I feel blue and his song is colorful like a rainbow. I understand about his diagnosed of ADHD but I still support him so much! 🙏

[@rbcghost]

currently riding out a chronic illness flare up n this just made my pain a bit more manageable n lifted my spirits tons! this n all the other recent fob interviews are keeping me company during bed rest :3 patrick u r the best!! ^___^

[@AlyPicon]

he’s so cute😭 loved this interview!

[@nancybernard955]

Fabulous interview. Patrick Stump is brilliant, literally, a genius, and not conceited. Amazing.

[@Whooadizz]

His face 😙 he has that Chris Evans's charm smile. I can't help it 😍

[@andreabeykerbolanos4746]

Patrick the best voice in the world

[@25Abril95]

Oh Patrick 💖 we love you so much!

[@sarawalsh4660]

Patrick is the sweetest human on the planet. I could listen to him talk for hours, such a genuine guy

[@reaganmccoy5501]

I literally love him so much!! He just seems so sweet and genuine and wholesome and just an all around great person

[@MiissMandii]

god he's so sweet

[@giulia3041]

Sophie was a wonderful host, so many cool questions!

[@misspeta7937]

I loved him then and love him now such a wonderful human ❤

[@deadhappy620]

I'm a proud elder emo! 🖤

[@7373mish]

Always thought Patrick had obvious amazing acting skills in FOB's music videos. Especially the earlier ones !

[@rvzilly]

Ugh I needed this so much ❤I’ve missed him so much

[@lavendyre]

amazing interview i love him sm

[@jessespanol9877]

He is an angel ❤

[@peaceofpiety]

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! This interviews is lovely. Thank you.

[@sarahschall4017]

What a lovely interview! I have synesthesia as well and it's interesting hearing other people's experiences.

[@FallOutBoyIsOxygen]

I love this KING ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@MarielW.]

He’s so adorable. Always!

[@anniehubbard5159]

he is the most wholesome human being ever 🤍 i love patty

[@mflor4544]

Every new interview and new thing I learn about Patrick I love him more and more he's always such a good person

[@Mustard649]

18:02 love how he can just casually break out in the most beautiful singing ever

[@katz3339]

My favorite pretty boy ♥︎

[@kintaro_f]

my favorite artist. 😌🤘

[@crystalwolcott4744]

They should colab with Janelle Monea. Sonicly she's kinda similar, as well as being a bit similar of a personality, not to mention that he worked with her on one of her albums before he died. I've been saying for years that FOBxJanelle Monea would be incredible, and somehow this just confirms it.

[@Mllmllmo]

Love u patrick!

[@makennareavis2682]

finding out patrick’s favorite show is the same as mine has made me feel invincible

[@JamieSmith]

appreciated the blue bg

[@Mooncatkait]

YESSS FALL OUT BOY AND PAUL MCCARTNEY!!!! I WOULD LOVE THAT SO MUCH. love you Patrick, see you in Columbus!! :)

[@derpymidnight]

19:20 i think he was listening to Headfirst Slide (supposedly). I just wish he could confirm; that's one of my favorite songs

[@ebonie_._]

🔥 Patrick Stump 🔥

[@frnksfrthmmrs_]

I want to hug him

[@rachelmorgan7565]

about the synesthesia thing it’s actually very common in neurodivergent people! lol i experience it too and i also have adhd 🤩

[@bandlover341]

That’s my man

[@Bastet32]

The airplane story 🤣🤣

[@xorcis]

im pretty sure he actually got arrested for drivng without a license in the mid 00's too so that story is extra funny

[@Karina_moscow88]

Wow. I guess that was the nost personal interview with him and I enjoyed it. I wonder why he is not recognised by the people

[@primaballerina2146]

He’s right, Sugar we’re going down is so red

[@rorywilliams8187]

When they were talking about the new singles, I was thinking Love From The Other Side would be yellow and Heartbreak Feels So Good would be purple. Well, orange and blue are close enough!! I love feeling like I’m on the same wavelength as Patrick 🥰

[@rachelmorgan7565]

agree!!

[@razziechkn]

I’m with him on the adhd stuff

[@josrodsedre5142]

Kerrang! is green to me

[@kuromi8384]

Loveeee that he loves i think you should leave

[@Clippetz]

Nice guy, indeed

[@mackenzie5353]

Stoooop he’s so cute

[@Chemical-Kid]

heartbreak feels so good is green, and love from the other side is purple. sugar were goin down is pink-ish/maroon. patrick is blue. kerrang is orange. these are the correct answers. thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[@hbshined]

20:32 norah jones is one of my favs besides fob. what a crossover

[@SL.D]

Not Patrick forgetting he was on House? 😂

[@fluttershydiscord]

i need subtitles :(

[@alisharo58]

Same! I’ll email them. I really want to watch this

[@clau_asp]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@alisharo58]

Can you please add captions?

[@182Burritos]

Oh man I wish she would have followed up on the airplane story and asking what happened with Patrick attempting to explain himself. Lmao
