Sugar, We're Going In

Scardi + Travie 4 Evr // listen to a long awaited visited from friend-of-the-pod Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes to talk Cupid’s Chokehold, 20 years of As Cruel as School Children, and working with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump PLUS: Hear MOONSHININ’, the newest from Gym Class Heroes at the end of the episode!

This episode is really close to my heart. I’m unpacking Patrick Stump’s Soul Punk live era not just the music, but the risks he took and the brilliant band he built to make it real on stage. This isn’t just about one album cycle, it’s about what it means to create fearlessly, even when the odds are stacked against you.

My recent BBC segment on the relationship between Fall Out Boy and hip-hop. It's short, it's nerdy, it's me,

In this special episode, I reconnect with an old friend I met back in 2011, on a night that felt like a secret handshake between music eras. He was opening for Patrick Stump in NYC while Fall Out Boy was on hiatus, and the energy in that room was electric. We dive into what that era meant to both of us, what it was like to perform during such a transitional moment in the scene, and how our lives and careers have evolved in the 13 years since. It’s a nostalgic trip through memory lane, but also a real-time reflection on growth, resilience, and the unexpected ways the music industry weaves people together. Whether you were there in 2011 or you're just discovering the solo era of Patrick Stump, this conversation bridges the gap between then and now, one shared stage and story at a time.

When Fall Out Boy hit pause, Patrick Stump hit play on something entirely different. In today’s episode, we dive into Truant Wave , the 2011 EP where he mixed hip-hop, R&B, funk, and electronic sounds into something nobody saw coming. We dive into the EP’s collabs (Om'Mas Keith, Idris Elba??), the near-misses (Childish Gambino! Nicki Minaj!), and how this left-field project quietly shaped Fall Out Boy’s future. This EP wasn’t just a side quest, it was the blueprint for everything Fall Out Boy would evolve into later. Let’s get into why Truant Wave mattered more than anyone realized + why it still slaps today.
