Fall Out Boy Wants World Record
On Friday, Fall Out Boy will make an attempt to enter the “Guiness Book of World Records” by trying to claim the “most radio interviews by a pair within 24 hours.”
Fall Out Boy’s attempt at the record for playing a concert on all seven continents fell short due to a canceled trip to Antarctica.
Although they may not be facing weather-related challenges this time, current record holders Alastair Galpin and John Stanfield from New Zealand completed a whopping 57 interviews in a span of 24 hours, leaving the band with big shoes to fill.
At 3 a.m. PT, bassist Pete Wentz and frontman Patrick Stump will settle down at Premiere Studios in Los Angeles and begin taking questions from radio stations around the world.
“I have a big mouth, lots of teeth and am filled with hot air. Sometimes I feel like I could talk forever,” Wentz said to MTV News. “In all seriousness, we’ve been watching YouTube videos of that Micro Machines guy for speed, then a bit of Sarah Palin to study up on how to answer any specific question with whatever vague answer we want.”
