Joe’s famous words about touring with Arma (one of Pete’s bands before FOB) at age sixteen: "I definitely got initiated on teat tour—they would rip my underwear off me every day. I hated it, dude. I should have stopped wearing underwear." And another memorable line when Joe bought a $4,495 guitar over an $18,000 one: " ‘I’m gonna feel guilty about this for a while,’ he says, looking not at all guilty. ‘It’s the Jew in me—like, ‘Oh, no, you spent money!’ " "I hear all sorts of things slung at us. One of my favorites being the boy-band accusation. I’m like, ‘Boy band? I’m fat! If we were a boy band, I’d look good, I’d dance and I’d be charming—so what the fuck are you talking about?’" - Patrick Stump
