Pete Wentz | Fall Out Boy, So Much (for) Stardust, Take This To Your Grave

[@marisoltbh]

watching pete fight the urge to have four different conversations at the same time 😭

[@Sunnychuu]

Gemini behavior

[@TomRenti]

this comment made me watch the chat in a completely different and funny way, thank you

[@Greysona]

We got that ADHD rep 😤😤😤

[@LorelaiLevin]

That's hilarious 😂😂

[@user-uo2ww2co4s]

obsessed with the long pause after pete gives a sincere album explanation then just goes “does amazon know this room exists”

[@GlennJimenez]

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

[@LorelaiLevin]

That's freaking hilarious 😂😂I

[@boopmcgoo]

i love that the album has a nostalgic vibe while still feeling brand new

[@fleetwoodmak]

can always count on the zach sang show to deliver iconic pete content

[@AdamZugone]

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

[@RyanStorey1231]

Zach: "Why do you keep your hair long? Simple question." Pete: *gives existential monologue*

[@xtheyan]

Fall out boy making a comeback is one of the best thing that ever happened

[@Teresa-jf8eb]

Pete is so humble. He truly appreciates his success and is so present and real.

[@rtaisoaa]

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.

[@MommaBird1772]

Another talk show host had Patrick sing a muffin recipe and it was phenomenal!

[@randyslegacy99]

This City is still one of my favorite songs he has sung for similar reasons

[@jessicanorton6183]

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. 😂❤

[@maisensaxton5435]

What do you think of Mania?

[@cate3680]

"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

[@DiscordiaCosplay]

Love that Pete acknowledged that I as a long-time fan would fight him on what is their "first" album.

[@xpoppyseedx336x]

Tttyg obviously

[@petalchild]

Evening out with you girlfriend lol

[@jessicahalas1825]

Please get Patrick on! It would be great to hear his point of view of the album. Thank you for the interview!😊❤

[@ZAY________]

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 🙏🏾)

[@slrandomperson]

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 👌

[@Prettyguardian2k]

Fall Out Boy not being intentionally relatable is crazy. Love them so much for just being genuine 💕

[@daliasaravia1443]

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.

[@anikokatona-kis3]

I agree with you. I like Mania too. Every album has an own personality. And I love them all.

[@saraellero4413]

mania is genuinely so good! gets better with time 👌

[@540gordo]

I liked mania but folie a deux was my absolute favorite. Every single song! Not a single skip!

[@hellokitty17602]

loving petes use of the word "like" and zachs use of "sister"

[@-_Emily]

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

[@tanigesbrianna94]

SAME 😭

[@meljstephan]

Fall Out Boy has gotten me through some really hard times. I couldn't even put into words how grateful I am for them.

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

I could listen to Pete talk all day long

[@kaitlynleeanna425]

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 💙💙💙💙

[@Greysona]

LFTOS was such a gorgeous song, Pete was right on the nose with wanting it first.

[@Dmarie210]

I could listen to Pete talk on these pod casts and various interviews literally forever 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@riz8462]

possibly my favorite fall out boy interview from this era, thank you zach!

[@Lausaurine]

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?"

[@tiffanyroth1066]

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!

[@777FOBfan777]

So... like 70% of the time when Pete said: "You know what I mean? " I didn't know what he meant.

[@prettyballerina]

this interview is so lovely to watch because it radiates compassion and sincerity ^_^ thank you for making this

[@cj10109]

Fall out boy was the first rock pop band I actually liked! They have soul! I’m glad they’re still around 🔥

[@firebolt95]

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

[@kelbystewart4325]

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

[@kigenanimation5824]

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

[@pebblebrainmac]

The scream I just let out, I'm so excited

[@zachsangshow]

haha!

[@evanneclaire]

The way everything is a metaphor 😭

[@polinasapetto7160]

this is a really great interview! with just the right amount of chaotic energy, matching Pete's vibe quite perfectly. well done!

[@shakiraghassani688]

safe to say that Pete's an amazing storyteller from this show

[@MrCottonball99]

IMAGINE your dad PETE WENTZ has you text him his lyric ideas while in the car 😭 but because hes your dad its lame

[@laurahemphill2115]

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

[@chasingstars4]

not even a minute in and he's already referencing an 80's movie ofc he is

[@dearjox]

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.

[@ani-jd2gp]

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

[@Yappa1996]

''Take This To Your Grave'' is the quintessential pop punk record, not a single skip on there.

[@Sonia519]

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"?

[@BrandonWillWin]

Hey teenage/early 20 something post- hiatus fob fan, Take This to Your Grave demands your attention

[@prettynpetty8342]

Pete's vistor pass on his hoodie is kind of iconic. I thought it was part of the design.

[@groovefretboard]

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. 🎸🙌🏽

[@groovefretboard]

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.

[@georgechronas]

this room is full of dorks! love it!

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

Me & You is one of my heart songs 😭😭😭💜

[@apeybaby]

Exactly!!!!!!!!! Patrick could sing the god damn phone book, ABC’s, the fuckin pledge of allegiance I don’t give a Gawt damn. If I got him singing WHATEVER, Pete licking his guitar and looking into our souls, Andrew just blasting off into outer space behind everyone and Joe… acting like Joe with his crazy ass faces being just joe… I will always still connect, love, and resonate with you all. On a real note, like a real real note, I was 14 when I heard sugar and I TiVo’d it lmao, deleting my dads Sunday morning fishing shows and my moms Ellen and Oprah episodes… I said fuck that mom and dad sorry TiVo fucked up I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️ and they would delete it then I would go to mtv on demand and continue deleting and re-recording that music video. Annnnd then I found your first album.. we’ll kind of, I found Evening Out With Your Girlfriend in a Spencer’s in St. Louis… fell in love but knew that wasn’t FALL OUT BOY so before I got home i went to 3 other malls and got Take This to Your Grave and From Under the Cork Tree. Sooo I had an hour drive home from St. Louis (St. Clair MO) my mom and I listened to every. Single. Song. From every single album we bought that day until we went to bed then I used my 5 disc cd player and played those albums over and over and over until they came out with infinity on high and basically continued the cycle with every new album. I recently (summer of 2023) counted my FOB concerts and tshirts. And I have about 60 tshirts and 40 concerts not to mention the random purses, bags, stickers and fan gear and of COURSE the fucking “ACTION FIGURES OF THEM ALL” I had a shrine in my bedroom before I graduated highschool and not gonna lie I brought it all to my house and yes. Yes, I still have it all on display at my own house with my own four children and they all know ALL OF YOUR SONGS .. May or may not be a fan girl

[@only-just-then]

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"

[@apeybaby]

P.s. see my previous comment first. But YEA I’m like a lawyer with the way I’m always trying to get you off WAS DEFINITELY A HIT FOR ME. When people would ask me my favorite song, I would answer with that. 😂they would look at me crazy and I’d say (you and me)

[@cyphertongue]

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.

[@_moonchild0613]

Really enjoyed this interview... just the right balance of depth and chaos lol

[@willsmonsters4497]

been waiting for this one for a while! HYPE

[@grchseagle08]

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.

[@randyslegacy99]

One of my favorite concerts was F.O.B./Blink 182 in 09 at MSG. Mark Hoppus shaved Pete's emo hair on stage

[@ryvlaw]

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

[@mlpdisneylover]

good shit to listen to while doing school work

[@morganrussell6996]

Awesome interview, thanks

[@zachsangshow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@leahkristine]

I was influenced to go get a Celsius from my fridge while watching this -- Celsius, sponsor Zach!! Lmao

[@elainevivi]

amazingly insightful interview as always

[@YepOkay]

great interview

[@victoriamartinez597]

This was amazing

[@Villiriated]

This was a great interview

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

Don't cut it yet! Wait til you tour Australia first 😂😍

[@notenoughstardust]

9:37 💀

[@thissadghost3904]

Yes Patrick could sing anything and I will be obsessed with it

[@benjaminryan5876]

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.

[@Dmarie210]

All these cooking references got me hungry 😂

[@HUNGRYblue]

23:15 i'm like a lawyer IS a hit!!!!!!!

[@desanticarden]

This was so great

[@e50e1]

i love the way his brain works!!!!

[@kuromi8384]

31:02 the change in thought is killing me

[@farahabuawad7984]

I FUCKING LOVE HIM👹

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

They told me this year is my masters and the doctorate is next .... brooooo .... no you missed my other assignments

[@redblue7162]

“Was that just a telescopic camera nod”

[@jthomas5o158]

Take This To Your Grave will forever be their best album, in my humble opinion.

[@prettyballerina]

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

[@queencorf]

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. ❤

[@Depp99ful]

“Thank you. Does Amazon know this room exists?”

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

I spent a whole summer with kami garcia bro

[@CMPFETZ]

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.

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

My brother says thank you 😂😂😂

[@annalea9924]

That other guy looks more like Pete then Pete does I’m confused

[@itsangbruh]

Florence does have great pizza.

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

We have a budget for big hero 6 bro

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

I was trying to get her picked as a potential major picture but my iPad was hacked

[@Elena-qt7ne]

Pete is such an ENFP I love it

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

They tried to short me

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

I can prove it to 😂😂

[@CameronForrester]

Breaks my heart to essentially hear we'll never see a return to my favorite FOB form :(

[@hopelessly.hopeful]

7:40 🥵

[@TomRenti]

31:59 and have a what??

[@The_real_JulieKelsea]

Radio support? You mean pay to play?

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

I should be finished .... i finished in 2017

[@ChrisLauren]

Don't love the interviewer but I'll watch pete in anything, so there's that.

[@B-55]

It’s amazing when the interviewer isn’t a diversity hire. The questions are profound great interviewer! Bring back Meritocracy!

[@Depp99ful]

Did anybody keep a “like” counter? I love my muffin man, but he talks like a valley girl.

[@backtoblood]

Yo, we would listen to Patrick sing the phone book. Love these guys!
