Watch Fall Out Boy's concert from Los Angeles here.


SteveBinMusic: what's up, Pete?
Thnks4memPete: hey
Thnks4memPete: why am i in this sh**ty italics
SteveBinMusic: you're not feeling italicized today?
Thnks4memPete: i am italicized and pink. it's insane.
Thnks4memPete: i think it might actually be making me sick
SteveBinMusic: well, if it makes you feel better, you are italicized but blue on my end
Thnks4memPete: see i am confused
Thnks4memPete: it's boy! it's a girl!
Thnks4memPete: ?
SteveBinMusic: maybe twins? like one boy, one girl in the game of Life.
SteveBinMusic: or you're just in touch with all sides of your personality today.
Thnks4memPete: i used to cheat in Life so bad. my spinner stuck and i could get it to go on certain numbers.
SteveBinMusic: dude, isn't that like cheating in school? you know, a you're cheating yourself type of thing.
Thnks4memPete: yeah, i guess.
Thnks4memPete: it's kind of fulfilling to have a wife and a mansion when you're 14, even if it's just in a board game.
SteveBinMusic: where are you right now anyway?
Thnks4memPete: I'm in Atlanta but people keep calling it Hotlanta.
Thnks4memPete: it makes me want to murder someone
SteveBinMusic: haha. how is Atlanta?
Thnks4memPete: Atlanta is ok
Thnks4memPete: my friend told me about this graveyard where the bodies are buried really high and in the summer, when it gets hot, you can smell them.
Thnks4memPete: i looked for it today kind of. but it's cold out so i couldn't follow my nose, like fruit loops.
SteveBinMusic: alright, much to jump on with that, but first?
SteveBinMusic: when you were 14 and you had the Life wife, who did you imagine it to be?
Thnks4memPete: haha. like what did i imagine my wife was gonna be like then, or did i make up some whole backstory and name for her?
SteveBinMusic: no, just who the girl would be? maybe a celeb crush or girl in school?
Thnks4memPete: haha i dunno
Thnks4memPete: i was really into Cheetara from Thundercats
Thnks4memPete: cause she was really fast
SteveBinMusic: has your life turned out compared to your Life?
SteveBinMusic: any mansions yet?
Thnks4memPete: haha. I'm a bit off course
Thnks4memPete: they don't list my career path in there
Thnks4memPete: the best part about Life is how you could be a teacher with like a 150,00 dollar salary and then be an accountant with like a 35,000 dollar one
SteveBinMusic: yeah, but now you've worked with Babyface and hung with Jay-z, so you are legit.
Thnks4memPete: haha. yeah i got my pass when we worked together
Thnks4memPete: now i can walk through the Bronx untouched.
Thnks4memPete: my dog keeps passing gas. if you lean into your keyboard you can probably smell it
SteveBinMusic: thankfully, i have a bit of a cold, so probably not.
SteveBinMusic: what kind of dog?
Thnks4memPete: he's a bulldog. i mean he's supposed to be 100 percent English, but he's gotta have a mix in there cause he looks like a gremlin.
Thnks4memPete: i think i'm gonna try to get him in Home Alone 13 or something. he has a good look you know.
Thnks4memPete: if i was a chick dog I'd love him.
SteveBinMusic: and if you were a dog, what kind would you be?
SteveBinMusic: i think i'm going to have give away my journalist card for that question
Thnks4memPete: haha
Thnks4memPete: i think I'd be one of those fancy Australian dogs. maybe they're not fancy. just dangerous like a hyena. could be sweet
SteveBinMusic: how's the tour going anyway?

Read on for Pete's tales of life on the road.
