Blink’s self-titled got me through 8th grade and Futures got me through 9th grade. Those years can be rough haha thanks for this 🙌

Mark is looking more and more like a mad scientist lol

My two musical idols on one show? Erm yes, thanks

That vocal harmony outro of "Feelin' This" is one of my all time favourite bits of music, crazy to hear that it was essentially a happy accident by the engineer.

I Think For The Next Guest, You Should Invite Tom Delonge

Would love to see Tom on here, he’s always cited JEW as an influence and apparently they played his wedding years back

People will claim that certain musicians haven’t aged but i think Jim is hiding some secret formula from us here...

Jim wearing glasses is clearly a ploy to try and make it look like he's aged. Great chat, looking forward to future episodes!

Mark, your hair looks like Cameron Diaz in Something About Mary when she puts the jiz in her hair.

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

These guys are my childhood

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

My favorite tour of all time, and the first time I saw JEW, was 2002 Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day, Blink 182, and Jimmy Eat World.

Listening to Mark talk in depth about the Self-titled album gives me a stiffy. Absolutely amazing and unique record and I'm glad he's proud of it!

"If you're not experiencing some level of crippling self doubt, you're just not doing it right" Found my new mantra.

Mark looks like the crazy old guy that yells at you to get off his lawn. lol

Dammit, Jim. You're making me want to buy your guitar now.

Mark is the most relaxed dude ever

Blink182 got some of the best songs ever so catchy so much passion, don't need to shred, shredding like bullet time it's a neat trick but the movie needs to be awesome

This has the best over the phone audio I’ve ever heard for a podcast

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

This was rad man, looking forward to the next one.

"My problems, they aren't problems." Be glad they never will, Jim.

Hey... Dont write yourself off yet.. It's only in your head, you feel left out or looked down on. Just do your best... Do everything you can. And dont you worry what their bitter hearts are gonna say. Live right now!! Yeah just be yourself, it doesnt matter if its good enough for someone else. - These lyrics got me through ages 15-35, Im still 35 and dont plan on stopping. Thanks Jimmy

"Dance with the demons, don't marry them"

I’ve been waiting for a podcast like this! And who better to host it than Jim!

I love the way you do what you do, Jim. You seem like an genuinely honest and kind person. Looking forward to more of these.

I'm not even a songwriting person, just a normal fan, and this was a fucking blast to watch/listen to. And it flashed by. Can't wait for more!

Still think Mark should have asked Jim to replace Tom.

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!

This ruled very hard. So stoked about this and can't wait for more.

This is cool. Two musicians I love discussing music, their works, etc. Would love to see you have Rivers Cuomo from Weezer as a guest

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

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.

jimmy eat world is one of my favorite bands ever, cool to get inside from Jim.

2 of my most favourite bands, how amazing you guys are, thank you for not stopping to make and playing music for us people! A collaboration song by you both would be incredibly mind-blowing!

Honestly, I could watch these two chat all day long about this stuff. So cool to hear about the thought process behind the song-writing. Can't wait for more episodes.

Gotta love Hoppus rocking the "There's Something About Mary" hairstyle 😂

Two of my favorite people talking about one of my favorite subjects. Please do more! You both made the soundtrack to my life. Still do! Love everything you do.

Gah, Jim, you are such a treasure. You are one of such a tiny group of songwriters I can even listen to anymore. Thanks for existing. You rock.

Pretty sure Mark ended up interviewing Jimmy

I've wanted this for decades! You are the man Jim!

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?!

Very cool, look forward to the next one as well! Both really humble guys...

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

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

This was fantastic! Tons of great music and life advice! Love you guys and your music!

I consider "Sweetness" to be the greatest rock song of this century, so getting just that little nugget from Jim @12:00 alone makes this new podcast worth it, not to mention everything else. Beautiful.

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

I look forward to more of these types of discussions. Great stuff!

This is really incredible. I love how absolutely massive bands in the scene still gives respect to Jimmy Eat World.

Mark’s hair... my quarantine feels. Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed it. Saw you guys with blink in Dallas back in 2002.

I just absolutely loved this! Thank you Jim for this channel and the nice reality break it gives me during all this stuff going on in our world.

That was absolutely Brilliant! I can totally agree with the Handwriting thing Im the same thanks so much Mark & Jim...look forward to seeing the next episode!

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

This was AWESOME. I could listen to y'all talk all day.

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!

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!

Great start to what I think will be a fantastic long-term endeavor. I just love these kinds of conversations, particularly about the craft of songwriting. Keep 'em coming, Jim!

I love that story about Blink's untitled album being recorded at a family's house! That's where I listened to it the most...

This was awesome. I'm very hyped for more of these chats. I'd love to see you talk to Jade Puget as I know he's big into producing AFI and Blaq Audio.

This is the interview/ podcast that we all needed. Thank you my good sir!

I love Jim, JEW, and everything mark does. Really looking forward to more episodes!! Thanks!!!

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.

Simply...thank you. I appreciate the process and glad that someone else is also interested in knowing people’s thoughts process when creating. This is so great. Plus I’ve been rocking with you since before there was a 20 in front of the year.

This was so damn good. Thank you for doing this!

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

This is really great. Is there any chance for Justin Pierre on a later episode? I feel like that conversation would be excellent.

thanks for this conversation! great interview jim, you shred in your own way

Jim, you’re great I’m glad you’re starting a podcast. And what a first guest, I could listen to old blink for hours!

I have a feeling that this podcast is gonna be really inspirarional to Jim and after all these talks he’s gonna bring so much to the studio. I fucking love it, thank you so much Jim!

When Mark sang the praises of "Goodbye Sky Harbour", my heart melted.

Excellent episode, can't wait to see more!

Man this is brilliant. Loved it.

I love that this is a thing. As a songwriter and a fan this is so radical. Keep em coming!

This is amazing. You two are awesome. Much love 😁

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.

Thank you Jim for sharing with us your creative process and the struggle that comes with having your emotions and your career so intertwined. It's really interesting and it takes courage to be vulnerable like this.

God damn, thats exactly where the pivotal shift in sound came. Definitely liked the songs they wrote before studio way more. Amazing chat! Both such amazing artists

Wow, I had no idea that Jim had a drinking problem. He totally doesn't seem to be the type.

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!!

More of these please, and thank you

this was awesome- i'm definitely looking forward to this series

This is so good cant wait for more

Just the kind of content I love to find: songwriters discussing the songwriting process. Thank you! Would love to hear of the origin story/writing process of 555, btw. Cheers

Two of my favourite guys from my teenage life shooting the shit. Thanks for doing this, Jim! Really looking forward to the Clarity stream on Friday!

Been rocking the signature Tele for last few years, love it!

So happy you are doing this.

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

Great conversation, love two musicians talk specifics on their process

incredibly inspiring to hear these guys talk so honestly

I have to say. This, Jim, is by far one of your best ideas. I mean, don't get me wrong- 555 was brilliant. But to get to really listen to some of my favorite artists (and you) share thoughts and opinions is meaningful and entertaining. It makes me appreciate you and Jimmy Eat World's music more. So, thank you.

Awesome guys!! Thanks for letting us in on the hang session. 🙏🏽💯😊

Just thank you. This was very enlivening.

Mark looks like a crazy scientist. Still a legend

Love the honesty and vulnerability.

Jim, you are the best for doing this. The concept and focus on songwriting is tremendously interesting. It would be rad if you did a livestream where you write.

Loved it!!! Please bring Mark back on again

Love this. Can't wait for more.
