NOW HOW ARE WE DOING IN QUARANTINE?
HOW ARE WE HOLDING UP?
>> I REALLY LOVE QUARANTINE.
MINE US THE CORONAVIRUS.
I AM ALL ABOUT IT.
>> James: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> I'M THE BEST VERSION OF MYSELF I HAVE EVER BEEN, TO BE
HONEST.
>> James: IN WHAT WAY ARE YOU THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF.
>> IN AN IRONIC WAY, ST KIND OF LIKE REHAB, LIKE I CAN'T DO
ANYTHING.
I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
I JUST HAVE TO SIT IN MY OWN HEAD AND SEE IF I LIKE MYSELF OR
NOT.
AND THE WORK THAT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OUT, AMONGST THIS
QUARANTINE HAS BEEN MY MOST WELL-RECEIVED WORK YET, SO IT'S
LIKE, WHAT A CONCEPT.
>> James: THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, HOW HAVE YOU BEATEN THE BOREDOM.
>> I FEEL LIKE JUST BEING ABLE TO LASER FOCUS WITH NO
DISTRACTIONS ON MUSIC.
BEING AT HOME WITH THE FAMILY, IF IS THE BASE.
WE WERE BOTH IN OUR STUDIO QUARANTINE WAY BEFORE IN
QUARANTINE, JUST LIKE MAKING THIS ALBUM, LIKE 20 HOURS A DAY
IN THE STUDIO WHICH WAS AWESOME.
SO I GUESS WE WHERE DOING THE SAME THING.
>> WE FACE TIME 20 HOURS A DAY.
>> James: NOW TELL ME ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP, HOW DOES THIS
COME ABOUT?
DID YOU START AS FRIENDS AND THEN START WORKING TOGETHER?
WHEN DID YOU MEET AND REALIZE THAT YOU-- BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE
ARE YOU AN ABSOLUTE FIT TO WORK TOGETHER.
>> I WAS-- LOOKING AT ME 11 YEARS OLD LISTENING TO THE BLINK
ALBUM THAT JUST CAME OUT AND LEARNINGED WORDS TO WHAT IS MY
AGES AGAIN AND SINGING THEM, I MET TRAV WHEN I THINK I WAS 18
OR 189, I WAS A MIX TAPE KID.
I HADN'T PUT AN ALBUM OUT.
HE INVITED PLEA TO A BLINKER 182 SHOW.
TRAVIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE PULSE OF CULTURE AS FAR AS WHO
IS NEXT TO BLOW, HE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD YEAR.
AND HE WAS ALWAYS DRK DSH I REMEMBER WHEN TRAVIS WAS STILL
SMOKING AND WE SMOKED AND I DROVE HOME.
IT WAS THE WORST DRIVE HOME BUT THE BEST MEMORY I EVER MADE.
WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR TEN PLUS YEARS NOW.
SO THE FIRST TRACK WE DID TOGETHER FOR THIS NEW ALBUM
WHICH INSPIRED US TO WORK TOGETHER WAS BLOODY VALENTINE.
I THINK I'M OKAY, EXCUSE MEE, BUT WHEN WE WENT BACK IN OUR
SEVERES IT WAS BLOODY VALENTINE.
>> James: THE ALBUM CALLED TICKETS TO MY DOWN FALL IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO COME OCCUPANT EARLIER IN THE YEAR BUT WILL NOW
RELEASE IT IN THE SUMMER OF.
TRAVIS, YOU MUST BE EXCITED FOR PEOPLE TO HEAR THIS.
>> I LOVE THIS ALBUM.
I WAS TELL TELLING CALVIN, EXCEPT FOR A FEW PEERNLINGS I
INVESTED MYSELF IN THIS ALBUM AS IF IT WAS MY OWN.
I WAS SOIM PRESSED WITH EVERYTHING HE BROUGHT TO THE
ALBUM AND EVERYWHERE I TOOK HIM AND EVERYWHERE HE GLADLY
LOOKED-- I'M SOIM PRESSED BY HIM, IS HE SO TALENTED AND WE
HAD A BLAST DOING IT AND HE GOT THROUGH THE VERY FIRST
INITIATION OF ME SMOKING HIM OUT TEN YEARS AGO.
SO THAT WAS THE DREAM.
>> NOW I WANT TO-- TRAF IS, WHILE YOU ARE HERE ON THE SHOW,
THERE WAS A DEBATE ON TWITTER, AWHILEBACK, ABOUT HOW YOU PI YOU
CAME BLINK 182, OR 182 OR LIKE YOU CAN JUST, CUZ PLARK WAS
BETWEEN MYSELF AND ONE MUCH THE WRITERS ON THE SHOW, HAVE I
ALWAYS CALLED IT BLINK 182.
HOW WE CALLED YOUIN THE U.K BUT IN AMERICA, IT IS BLINK 182,
RIGHTS?
>> YEAH.
I THINK WHEN WE'RE OVER THERE WE WERE OKAY WITH PEOPLE SAYING
BLIENG 1-8-2 AND IN THE STATES IT ST BLINK 1-82.
SO I GUESS IT IS WHERE WE ARE AT.
WHEN WE ARE IN EUROPE ANDO OR THE U.K. THEY SAY BLINK 1-8-2.
>> BUT ST. ST NOT 1-82 OTHERWISE YOU SAY
182.
>> THAT WOULD SOUND REALLY WEIRD.
>> James: SO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR THIS.
WHAT ARE THE BANDS CALL, TRAVIS.
>> OH ST HARD, MAN.
I GUESS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE WAY YOU JUST KIND OF EXPLAINED
IT TO ME, IT COULD BE BLINK 1, 8, 2.
>> OH.
WHOA.
>> BUT I MEAN 182 IS REALLY ODD.
>> James: THAT IS WHAT I MEAN.
182 IS NOT RIGHT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE PLAIBLGING IT AN, 28.
>> BUT ST BETTER THAN BLINK 18, 2.
>> YOU SEEM PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS, WHAT DO YOU THINK.
>> Reggie: CALL IT 1, 82 BLINKER.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO APPROACH THE FLAME OF THIS.
I AM LIKE A BLINK HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO.
>> WE ARE ALWAYS DISAGREEING.
>> WELL, LISTEN, I'M SO THRILLED THAT YOU ARE BOTH ON THE SHOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU ARE GOING TO PERFORM FOR US RIGHT NOW, AND I AM SO EXCITED
