Mark has always been my favorite member of Blink, so it’s always nice to see interviews with him.

What I appreciate most about this is the fact that it’s one continuous shot/conversation. So many videos now a days are chopped up and heavily edited for purposes of making things more interesting for the viewer, but I really dig that you just hit the record button and vibe together. Makes it feel much more genuine. Mark and Jim- thank you both for being such a big inspiration to so many of us

Just randomly stumbled upon this and had to give it a listen. Xfest was one of my first big concerts and Blink, the Offspring, 30 seconds to mars were headlining. Didn't know Jimmy eat world would be there as one of the openers and I really only ever heard the middle and sweetness on the radio and I liked those, but they absolutely killed it. All the other bands were fine before them, but they really kicked off the night. One of the best bands I've seen live. The offspring kept that going, and unfortunately 30 seconds to mars really killed the vibe with an acoustic Rhianna song, which is fine, just not the night for it, and they just totally lost the crowd for their set. Blink brought it back around though and made it all worth, lol. One of the best events of my life thanks to these to guys and their bands.

Jim Adkins and Mark Hoppus. Feel's like I've done got every gap in THUG just to unlock this interview. Seriously, awesome

The ending of feeling this is a perfect showcase of what great songwriters these guys ended up becoming.

Pretty sure Mark ended up interviewing Jimmy

Wow, this is my new favourite thing! Live sound engineer here, long time fan of both their bands and since lockdown I have gotten into podcasts. Go Jim! I have so many guest whishes. Billie-Joe (Green Day), Fat Mike (NOFX), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Deryck (Sum41), Chino (Deftones), Corey (Slipknot)...

This is so cool. 2 of my absolute biggest influences talking about their creative processes is crazy. For me this is heaven.

Mark rockin "There's Something about Mary" do 😂🤘

Two legends right here! I recall years ago when Jimmy Eat World got into the Live105 (norcal) elevator with me and I was in the middle with nowhere to lean on. I said "damn I'm stuck in the middle", and one of you guys said "I think there's a song named that" LMAO!! Best memory ever!!

This is such an interesting dynamic. You'd think since they come from the same era, became popular around the same time, and even toured together that their aesthetic would at least be somewhat aligned. Jimmy Eat World has always been a really authentic working band, always touring, always respected and always putting out killer albums, and I think that comes from maintaining that hands-on, DIY approach (even thru the major labels). Blink 182 on the other hand, is such an enormous enterprise that just by virtue of having Mark's voice on it, makes it a Blink song, even if they have a lot of people touching the songs before they go out these days. Not saying one is better than the other, I just really appreciate the dynamic and forthrightness of the process with these dudes! Also: JIM'S GOTS KIDS?!

Ahhhh! Loved this! It’s always fascinating to me to see a small glimpse of another artists mind and thought process. Can’t wait for the next one!

Thanks Jim & Mark. I loved this conversation. So refreshing hearing two of my favourite artists talk about the creative songwriting process. It also gave us mere mortal fans a bit of a sneak peek behind the curtain of the more common press interviews, which always cover the same topics and questions. This was so real and genuine. Thanks for creating this and I look forward to future episodes. I'd love to hear similar episodes with Tom Delonge and Travis Barker, just because I'm a massive Blink fan. I'm busy getting back into recording my next album and this interview inspired me tremendously. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa.

This was actually really interesting hearing about your guys’ processes. Can’t wait for more episodes

This is such an unexpectedly awesome video. Great thoughts, advice, and real conversation. Thanks for sharing this!

This was such a beautiful well-articulated conversation between two extremely talented musicians. I love how humble and thoughtful you both were with each topic, I feel grateful to have watched this! I’ve been a huge fan of blink for years now, and with their current comeback and the after math of Mark’s health scare, this was a very inspiring video to watch. Travis is my favorite because I’m a drummer, but I’ve always had this strange soft spot for Mark - you can just tell he loves music and being creative, and he seems so down to earth despite being such an influential rock star. Great video!

So great! Two of my favorites!!!! It's so nice to see a different side to the music scene. Can't wait for the next podcast!

I'm a sober (now) artist, I get it , I've struggled with heroin addiction, brought on by having RA and Lupus and being on pills since I was a kid. I subscribed to the belief that I needed to create and even surmount my wounds, then cauterize it and open them again. It was a gnarly time, lost my thumb, using a soldering iron when I was loaded. But, I created a lot. In sobriety, sometimes I feel like there's not enough chaos, or that reflection on my past and not still living it, but documenting makes me a hypocrite... Idk. It's cool to see your idols break down their process, especially when they've also gotten straight. 🤘💜

This was around 2007-08, I had a songwriting publishing deal and I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to write and record a song with Justin. I didn't get to spend much time with him, but he was a nice dude and had a lot of energy.... probably as you'd expect. I remember coming into the studio and he had a part he was already showing the producer and then we wrestled it all into a decent song. The song turned out ok, and we didn't become best friends, but he complimented me on my Arrested Development shirt and I forever get to say that one of my favorite singers sang a chorus I wrote.

I really enjoyed this!👍🏻 Hope for more to come! 😊

This is totally awesome! I hope to see another episode soon!

Jim! This is great! I'm so excited you're doing this. A. My favorite two rock artists of all-time chatting in the first episode?? Are you kidding? B. I'm a hobby song writer myself. Super stoked to see more of these vids.

Honestly, this conversation helps a lot. I struggle every day thinking those things Mark said, those toughts "this song sucks/this will never work / you suck at this" i mean it may be truth, but you at least must give yourself a chance to proove those little voices wrong
