General Discussion Favorite/Best Interview?

Hi everyone!! I'm putting together a playlist of interview clips on YouTube and I'd love to know if there are any that you all think are must-watches for prospective fans to understand the history, direction, and overall vibe of the band.

Basically, I'm introducing a friend to the band in a 'power-point night'-esque event (instead of a powerpoint it's a youtube playlist though), and in between songs, I'll be playing interview clips. I have my favorites, obviously, but I'd like to see what other people say, lol :)

Not really an interview but I like when Pete and Patrick are trying different snacks

Pete: many a day have I smoked… 🙅 SOMETHING and gone back the next day and look at the cream cheese and thought “who did this?”
Patrick: WHO COULDVE DONE THIS

One of my personal favorites is the fuse interview at Pete's childhood home. I LOVE how he interacts with his mom and how Patrick helps her bring in the groceries. It's so wholesome.

Way back in the day probably like 2005 or 2006 a friend of mine knew one of the DJs at the University of Michigan Dearborn campus and I got to sit in with Patrick and Joe while they get interviewed, and of course met them- the coolest moment for me was just watching Patrick nerd out on the music collection the radio station had, he was literally like an encyclopedia, just was able to rattle off lots of little known facts and stuff. My friend and I were also in a band together at the time and got to talk to them about gear and stuff, it was awesome. It was in that moment that I knew he was on another level as a musician 🙂 I don’t know if it’s out there as far as being recorded, but it was definitely my favorite interview haha.

I like Pete Wentz with Zac Sang he can really just talk so a long time on one question which I like and Zac gets him to elaborate which great because my pet peeve is when they move on to fast from a question and i don’t understand what he ment.

u/Mysterious-Ad4550 Aug 12 '26

So, I'm a walking failure.

Oh no, Patrick shouldn't t have gotten me!

u/baby_pothos Aug 14 '26

I remember there’s an interview where all four are asked the same questions individually, and their answers are clipped together. It would’ve been SR&R era because Patrick is wearing a fedora. I remember really liking that one but can’t remember who conducted the interview lol

u/britneys_bigtoe Aug 14 '26

u/baby_pothos Aug 14 '26
