PeteFOB1: Hey
ScottBinMusic: hey
ScottBinMusic: so where are you right now?
PeteFOB1: In my parents house in wilmette, il
ScottBinMusic: how close is that to chicago?
PeteFOB1: Like 15 minutes at most
PeteFOB1: Pretty much every john hughes movie ever was filmed here
ScottBinMusic: i heard you and gerard from MCR went to a mall there and got chased...
PeteFOB1: Haha we went to the mall... It wasn't that great of a chase. He's a smoker and I have short legs
ScottBinMusic: ha
ScottBinMusic: has he ever tried to drink your blood?
PeteFOB1: Hahaha nah... I don't think I eat enough healthy stuff to have good blood to drink
ScottBinMusic: ok, some chicago questions...
ScottBinMusic: If you had to pick...
ScottBinMusic: Naked Raygun or Smashing Pumpkins?
PeteFOB1: Naked raygun. I thought I was gonna die when the wall of death was coming at me
ScottBinMusic: Alkaline Trio or Kanye?
PeteFOB1: Impossible choice
ScottBinMusic: yeah, thats a tough one
PeteFOB1: Kanye destroys everything but fob wouldn't be a band with out alk 3
PeteFOB1: I say make up and pink polos
ScottBinMusic: totally
ScottBinMusic: now that chicago has been thoroughly covered
PeteFOB1: Haha
ScottBinMusic: You're a Momma's boy. True or False?
PeteFOB1: True
ScottBinMusic: your mom is hot, true or false?
PeteFOB1: Hahahaha I dunno... I seen some old pics that looked pretty ok.
PeteFOB1: I think I might have checked out my mom in this old photo album by accident
ScottBinMusic: wow
ScottBinMusic: Where does the name Fall Out Boy come from?
ScottBinMusic: im sure you have never been asked that
PeteFOB1: Ahhh some kid yelled it out a show? Want a more interesting story
ScottBinMusic: yes please
ScottBinMusic: something that involves a govt conspiracy of some sort
PeteFOB1: Its really long to type but it involves airboats in the swamps of north florida, robotic alligators and two hookers
ScottBinMusic: love it
ScottBinMusic: are you emo? is fob an emo band?
PeteFOB1: Yes. We play emotional music
ScottBinMusic: Do you wear a back pack and old man sweaters?
PeteFOB1: Hahaha no way backpacks and argyles are for kanye west. This is kanye wentz
ScottBinMusic: hahahah
ScottBinMusic: people ever cry at your shows?
PeteFOB1: Probably... We chop onions and spray lemon juice out of cannons. Then we show pictures of dogs getting hit by cars behind us on a screen
PeteFOB1: We then drink the tears
ScottBinMusic: you're like gwar meets green day
PeteFOB1: Wow that's probably the best compliment we have ever gotten
ScottBinMusic: you ever cry at a get up kids show?
ScottBinMusic: like, oh my god, i'm so moved, this band so speaks straight to me...
PeteFOB1: No. I went to the last get up kids show ever in chicago and they kicked me out
ScottBinMusic: soooo not emo of them
PeteFOB1: I was like "don't put your hands on me do you know who I am I own this town" and then I got thrown in the gutter... Or wait it may not have gone like that
ScottBinMusic: you could prob take those guys
ScottBinMusic: they're old
PeteFOB1: Yeah but something to write home about is one of the good ones. So I wouldn't mess with those dudes
ScottBinMusic: this is true
ScottBinMusic: People ever complain to you how they can't understand any of the lyrics from Sugar?
PeteFOB1: Nah people just kinda fake the middle of the chorus. Its funny to watch
ScottBinMusic: Tell me about the new video for Dance Dance.
PeteFOB1: It rips pretty hard
PeteFOB1: I mean since we couldn't get eric roberts in a video I guess we had to come up with an idea on our own
ScottBinMusic: does it involve roller blades or rattails?
PeteFOB1: They made me cut my rattail for the video - totally serious answer
PeteFOB1: What a summerbumer
ScottBinMusic: video would have been way better with it
ScottBinMusic: prob would have won an award or something
PeteFOB1: Hahahaha....
ScottBinMusic: Are you surprised about your success?
PeteFOB1: Yes and no
PeteFOB1: I always knew what we were doing mattered. I just never thought it mattered to anyone else
ScottBinMusic: you ever think it would matter to jay-z?
PeteFOB1: No way... Not to the point where he would call us on the phone or invite us to a party
ScottBinMusic: you have a posse yet?
PeteFOB1: Yeah
PeteFOB1: Mines awesome though.
ScottBinMusic: is it made up of a bunch of harajuku girls?
PeteFOB1: Hahahahaha. They wish
ScottBinMusic: totally
ScottBinMusic: FOB rules the fashion world, not them
PeteFOB1: I'm not sure if the fashion world has heard of fob hahaha
ScottBinMusic: speaking of fashion
ScottBinMusic: heard you had your own clothing company, or are about to
PeteFOB1: Yeah
PeteFOB1: I do
ScottBinMusic: is it called FOBU?
PeteFOB1: Fob-unit
ScottBinMusic: YES
ScottBinMusic: i'm so buying a jersey
PeteFOB1: Its actually called clandestine
PeteFOB1: We make clothes that could even make ugly people hot
ScottBinMusic: i need me some of them then
PeteFOB1: I mean not people as ugly as us
ScottBinMusic: what kind of stuff is it?
PeteFOB1: We make a lot of shirts... We have one that says "break dance not hearts" and one that's says "I heart revenge" but then we make one of a kind blazers and high end stuff too
PeteFOB1: We also publish books and what not
ScottBinMusic: sounds cool.
ScottBinMusic: i hear you are a writer
ScottBinMusic: beyond the lyrics that is
ScottBinMusic: and you wrote a book?
PeteFOB1: I just finished one that's called rainy day kids
PeteFOB1: Kinda written diary of a madman style
PeteFOB1: Only a bit more holden caulfield "messed up kid" and a little less ian curtis "disturbed genius"
ScottBinMusic: gotcha. anyone die in it?
PeteFOB1: Not yet
ScottBinMusic: hmmm, anyone do any jail time in the book?
PeteFOB1: Jailtime yes, never prison time though... Like one night holding cell stays
ScottBinMusic: would you consider it chick lit?
PeteFOB1: Definitely
ScottBinMusic: cool, cause that's all i read
PeteFOB1: Wahahahaha
ScottBinMusic: that book about the bees and the detective agency...awesome
PeteFOB1: Hahaha I'd love to have sarah j. as the lead if it was ever a screenplay
ScottBinMusic: you should. even if the lead is supposed to be a dude
PeteFOB1: Oh I am pretty much casually flamboyant shed play me ok
ScottBinMusic: any good celeb stories?
ScottBinMusic: i'm sure you get mad girls
PeteFOB1: Uh I don't really have any good ones
ScottBinMusic: come on. the good charlotte boys are blowing you away on this front
PeteFOB1: That's kinda true
PeteFOB1: Honestly they are prettier dudes I think
PeteFOB1: I think the gold medalist in gymnastics in 2004 said in an interview that she wanted to meet me
ScottBinMusic: that's pretty cool, shes prob flexible
PeteFOB1: True true
PeteFOB1: I guess you pretty much have to be awesome to get the gold medal at all
PeteFOB1: But I don't know too much about sports
ScottBinMusic: Tell us about your record label?
ScottBinMusic: not island...
PeteFOB1: Oh yeah
PeteFOB1: Me and john janick from fbr started a label called decaydance. After I brought the academy is over to him
PeteFOB1: So far we've signed: gym class heroes, panic at the disco, october fall and the hush sound... Oh yeah we also did some stuff for the new fob record
ScottBinMusic: cool, all in a similar vein to FOB?
ScottBinMusic: the bands that is?
PeteFOB1: Uh no the first is live band hiphop and the other is dance rock and a couple have similarities
PeteFOB1: The most important thing is that I can see the ambition in them that fob has
ScottBinMusic: yeah, dont need no stoner bands on your label
PeteFOB1: Hahahaha
ScottBinMusic: but i guess stoner bands seem to tour quite a bit, and aren't super lazy, kind of weird huh?
PeteFOB1: You never know.... Good bands and music come from strange people all the time
ScottBinMusic: true
ScottBinMusic: ok, only a couple more
ScottBinMusic: What's it like being on the road with vegans?
PeteFOB1: Smelly. Kind of annoying because you have to always spend hours finding places for them to eat at. But at the same time. I think maybe I wanna be vegan again and that helps
ScottBinMusic: hard to eat vegan at a 7-11 at 2 in the am
PeteFOB1: Hahaha not if you have the balls to call potato chips a meal
ScottBinMusic: i wish i did
ScottBinMusic: He-Man or Thundercats?
PeteFOB1: Ahhhhh. My first crush ever was cheetara. Evillyn was a close second
PeteFOB1: But honestly now watching both.... Thundercats holds up where he-man does not...
ScottBinMusic: totally agree
ScottBinMusic: and finally what was the name of the song the lawyers made you change?
PeteFOB1: My name is david ruffin.... And these are the temptations
ScottBinMusic: now i can sleep at night
PeteFOB1: The estate prepared to move litigation against us
ScottBinMusic: would be a bummer to have a bunch of young kids checking out the tempations i guess
PeteFOB1: Yeah right? Its not like... Oh well I probably have talked enough sh** in this interview
ScottBinMusic: your publicist there now?
ScottBinMusic: kidding
ScottBinMusic: ok, any parting words for the kids that may be reading?
PeteFOB1: Thank you very much for sticking with us through everything. We can't wait to see you on the road this fall.
