The past five months have been really crazy for us, ... It's kind of cool because we're hidden on a bus in, like, Omaha, Nebraska, or wherever, so we've never actually seen our video on MTV. So it's kind of bizarre to think that it gets played on MTV and is on 'TRL' all the time.

It's a really limited perspective, but I remember at the time it was very, very cathartic. When somebody hangs up on the phone when you're 2,000 miles away from them, you have no recourse. The only reaction there is, is a pen. There's nothing else that you can do.

It's something we've always wanted to do as a band, just a quick jaunt through VFW halls and venues like that. We'd announce the show the night before or maybe play under some secret names. And we thought it would be cool because we don't feel like any band has gotten to a certain size and still gone on a VFW hall tour. So we'd like to play a couple of dates on the East Coast. Watch out for it.

OK, I can say some more about the video. I got a new analogy for you about it. It's like R. Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet,' meets Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' ... But with the prologue and epilogue still taking place on the Internet. And I'm being completely serious. Wrap your mind around that.

It was just the last straw for me. They are a multi-platinum band. What's the point of going after us?

I totally miss all that stuff. Touring in a van, playing small shows, those end up being the coolest times. Sure, they were terrible at the time, and we slept on a lot of floors next to a lot of cat poop. But when you think about them, they were what brought everybody together. They were like adventures.

They're way different, the songs are way more soulful. They open up Patrick's voice a lot more. On the last record, the lyrics were about 'This is where we're going to be a year from now, and this is what you're going to be saying about us.' But this time, we realized that a lot of bands should spend less time running their mouths and more time writing their songs.

I feel like we've figured out how to write Fall Out Boy music, but I don't really feel like we've written the definitive Fall Out Boy song yet, where I'm like, 'Wow, that is Fall Out Boy.' So I guess it is continually evolving. But at the same time, it's not growth just for the sake of growth. As you get older and you see the world, your tastes change and hopefully your mind kind of opens.

Of course, we haven't spoke to anybody at Island Records about this yet, but you should go ahead and print this, because it'll just make them sweat.

Definitely. If I wasn't ordinary, this wouldn't feel really strange to me. It would feel very deserved and feel like vindication whereas being ordinary, thinking that I'm probably a pretty normal, ordinary person, I feel like we got put in a fish tank, kind of by accident.

It was a white A-Team van, and because it had no windows, it was hot as crap. It had a big flower spray-painted on the side. The brakes went out on it when we were driving down this alley, and I go to our guitar tech, there was a fence and there was this other van, so I go, 'Fence or van? 'Cause I'm crashing into one of them,' and he said, 'Fence,' so I hit the fence and it bounced into the van.

I think that when you spend all of your time focusing on what everybody else wants and what everybody else needs and what is good for the band, sometimes you neglect what's the best for you.

My parents treat me like I'm 14. They make me clean my room and stuff like that. They're always like "I don't care what MTV says you are.
