old canon is new to me, you guys

So I had never seen this interview with Pete Wentz, but it's pretty much solid gold. It's from when they were touring for Take This To Your Grave, which, okay, anything from that far back is kind of hilarious in hindsight? But seriously, this is awesome.

HIGHLIGHTS:

+ Pete would be anal probed by aliens, because he's experimental like that
+ He HATES underwear, because it's like a leash
+ Also it reminds him of how he looks funny naked
+ COBRAS are his favorite!
+ His jock-ness and sports love is the lamest thing about him
+ He mentions porn, like, half a dozen times
+ He mentions HIS MOM even more times than he mentions porn

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

YOU GUYS.

(shoemaster: random googling = "pete wentz" + porn y/n?
pearl_o: ACTUALLY NO
pearl_o: I was googling to find out what his actual height was
pearl_o: To see if he was short enough to be a jockey with Frank and Brian Schechter and Patrick

SO THERE.)

That interview is hilaaaarious. Although, dude, I feel like such -- in his answer about bringing words back, I got to 'crucial' and totally got taken back to, like, '96. I used to use that word ALL THE TIME, wow. *facepalm*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. *pets you gently*

Is he actually 5'6", or is that just fanon?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Google tried to tell me 5'7", but that seems ... unlikely.

[restless-jedi.livejournal.com]

I...concur. But a friend I have who met him seems to think that is right. Huh. I thought he was shorter.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think it's mostly confusing simply because in pictures the height difference between him and Patrick doesn't seem that large.

[restless-jedi.livejournal.com]

Well, Patrick is what, 5'4"? It's not actually a huge height difference. And Patrick's hats probably pad his height a little.

MY FAVORITE PART IS THE ACTUALLY NO. IT'S NOT A DENIAL SO MUCH AS A "SURPRISINGLY NOT!"

and he's a midget, too, yo.

IT WAS A GOOD GUESS! I HAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT!

ILU, PETE. My favorite was the part about all dudes being a ninja, a pirate, a detective, or a zombie. If he's the pirate, Joe Troh's gotta be the detective, and idk, Patrick can be the zombie because it's the coolest and Andy's the ninja. Det. Joe Trohman!!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

MAN, he would make an AWESOME 70s detective, right?

You're right--this is a really interesting pre-famous interview: lots of references to "what if you were famous?" bits that are pure gold.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely! Limo rides, man.
