Alright, y’all. Buckle up, because in this episode, we’re spilling ALL the tea on one of the wildest chapters in Fall Out Boy’s history—yeah, we’re talking about it all. The hiatus, the burnout, and... wait for it... that time 50 Cent joined them on tour.

Another one. This time we talk about Patrick's work with Gym Class Heroes for their 4th album, The Quilt. I've got demos and mixtape pieces galore on this episode of Sugar, We're Going In.

One time, Tyga almost got arrested driving Pete's car while he was on his honeymoon. Did you know Patrick worked on Tyga's debut album? Listen to "Don't Regret It Now" & Swagga Like Wentz on this episode of Sugar We're Going In!

SWGI is officially a year old! We're celebrating with a Philly-centric episode of Patrick's history with The Roots on the song "Birthday Girl". No I did not plan this.
