The fact that he chose sobriety over pain meds after such a traumatic event is huge. Not everyone is able to handle both emotional and physical pain this well. This is strength.
Wasnt it great the doc said, you were doing so great on the medication and Travis had to be like, I’m doing so great off of them...typical, docs trying to push drugs someone doesn’t need on them to boost their kickbacks from the pharmaceutical reps and companies. Not all, but there’s a fair share of docs who are nothing more than drug dealers in lab coats.
I did atleast 2 perk 30s since 2008. I got clean in 2017. In 2019 i fell off a ladder and broke my leg right below my knee. I told the emt's and nurses and doctors i had a problem and that i didnt want to mess with my sobriety. I woke up during both my surgery's he meds didnt touch the pain. I feel Travis when he said i would wake up in the middle of surgery swinging on doctors.
I think being a dad and also waking up while they are operating cause they drugs they use to operate on you are immune to would have been a powerful wake up call also losing two people you know that could have been you. Tremendous story. He could have went one way but choose to embrace his luck to make chances. Fantastic man.
he did admit trying to convince friends to help him end his life... not trying to take anything away from him, but i think he handled it really difficultly... but still got through it.
When he said he finally got to shower by himself, that hit hard. Folks that have been hospitalized for a long time will understand how huge that accomplishment feels. It’s been 15 years since my nearly fatal car accident and I still remember the feeling when I took my 1st shower post surgeries. I will never ever forget it.
I remember after I had my bone graft. And I couldn’t really do anything for myself and was ridden for almost a month. Which a lot of people have done far longer than that. But really puts things into perspective when you have to rely on someone just to do the simplest tasks. Like showering, getting food or eating, using the bathroom, or even just changing positions in bed. Gets you feeling a little nuts pretty quickly. So I really applaud people with disabilities who permanently have to deal with that.
It's remarkable that he not only survived the crash but was able to turn his life around afterward. I cannot imagine going through that. What a fucking cool guy.
Yes. It can swing both ways and he choose to not go back. I think the fact of waking up while being operated on would have been a huge wake up call. Cannot imagine the pain one must go Through and still does. Peace to him and him sharing this amazing story
He seems really chill and humble and kind. I had no idea but now that I’m watching more and more on Travis and his life I realize he really is very gentle.
He was always rather quiet. I remember when i watch some intervies or something with Blink 182 he always seems so shy and silent, too shy for a rockstar 😊
You never know, he may go back and watch this one day and drop his iPad and in the process when he picks up it scrolled onto the comment section as it fell.
Why because he survived a plain crash? Last I knew he's basically a criminal who plays in a band geared towards simps that think making songs about being a weakling is talent.
@@yishaqdavid2029 I listened to about 30 seconds of it because they sound like a bunch of booty shooters. Plus he has tattoos and everybody knows that tattoos mean crime.
@@TempoDrift1480 LMAO! I went to your channel and realized you are a musician and you were trolling me. I didn't think id get a response back. Thank you for making me laugh.
I have a new found respect for this guy. It’s crazy to me what he went through with the whole plane crash. He lost friends, he was horribly burned, and I’m sure was left with a lot of trauma afterwards. For him to go through all of this without pain meds or any kind of self medicating is incredible. Especially given his past. Hats off to you Mr. Barker
I didn't realize how much Travis had his shit together these days. Wow, he's a great inspiration to anyone wanting to make a positive change in their life and fight through adversity. I'm a bigger fan than ever after watching this episode. Great interview.
As a drummer myself, Travis gets some flack for being mainstream and called “the best” when even he knows he isn’t... but hearing his strength of character, coming back strong from so much, and also learning to play the game and run his hustle to the highest possible caliber is just mind blowing. It’s kinda like when people give Lars Ulrich shit for not being very proficient at his craft. He still understands what will get a crowd going, what will fit a thrash song well, and at the end of the day, he’s worth $300 million and basically nobody else is, so... yeah. Anyway. Point being. Travis is a gangster, he’s a tougher cut than your average human.
To this day, I sometimes forget about the crash. I can go months without thinking about how Travis was once in a crash knowing Blink is one of my top 3 favorite bands. Losing Kobe to a helicopter crash. Jenni Rivera to a plane crash. The guy who made La Bamba and the other guy Buddy Holly losing their lives in a plane crash. Travis could’ve been one of them and he wasn’t. I come close to tears when I think about it but can’t let them out because I still can’t swallow the fact this happened. Respect to Travis being one of the coolest artists in history. Always my #1 drummer.
@@paola6812 Randy's death could've been prevented. Their tour bus driver got drunk and decided to steal someone's plane at an airfield, and he took a few of the band members for a ride. Unfortunately, it didn't go as well when he gave Randy a ride.
When a rockstar who liked to party with hard drugs suddenly quits and doesn't even touch alcohol or weed, not even a beer for 10 years! That is pretty mind blowing
He's probably not Bipolar then. People who are Bipolar feel like a normal person on the meds. He went through an incredibly traumatic experience, of course, his mood will be erratic.
Im a chronic pain suffer from a on duty patrol car accident. I get told all the time weed will make the pain stop. Im like ahhhhh no thats not how it works.
He thinks everyone loves weed like he does. Weed does not go with drumming. I’ve tried. You’re like damn these things are loud. Let’s go play PlayStation and hit the pantry.
The pain this dude has went through is something I know I could never ever get through. He deserves so much more praise and respect then he gets I my opinion. Recovering from that accident sounds so horrific and traumatic and just unimaginable. He is a real life bad ass superhero. So inspiring. I always think of him when ever I think I an going through something to realize how much worse it could be.
Well I almost lost my mom, actually I did lose my mom to these kind of pills. Her entire life she had struggled working and rebuilding herself after the war in Yugoslavia, here in Denmark. I know of no women that has endured more suffering then her and yet still had the capability to build a family and future for me and my sister. There came a point in her life where she injured her back and kinda fell into a depression. I guess for her not being able to work (cuz that is what her life always had been) was kinda tough for her. The doctors decided to put her on these kinds of anti-depressent drugs that turned my mom into a mere zombie. Within a short period of time I lost my mom, and I was suddenly along with my sister left for ourselves. The drugs made her have no emotions, she had no feelings, and would sit staring into a wall for most part of the day. People would tell me how sorry they were for me, as they saw her walk the streets like a ghost. This lasted for about 8 years and became worse when they wanted to treat those symptoms with more drugs, that eventually made things worse. So i did lose my mom. At the age of 23 i developed cancer and had been miss-diagnosed for about a 1 year, allowing the cancer to spread into my body. During this time I finally gathered the courage to convince my mom to face the darkness that she would meet once she stopped the pills. I told her, that I needed mom my back, because I would not survive my own disease without the help of my mother. Short story, was that my mom helped me recover through cancer treatment and has recovered herself. She is now once again the loving humanbeing that sees other people before herself, helping where she can and always trying to do her best to leave this planet a better place. As for me, i am lucky enough to still be able to sit here and write this message, for that I am thankful. - I would advice people to meet the darkness full force, instead of avoiding it, the darkness is the best molder in life, if one is to surpace the pain that it brings, it is life changeing. I eventually also came to understand that the darkness we meet is ourselves, and a reflection of our own thoughts and ego.
@@Villainous98 yikes. Just keep loving her dude; you only have 1 mom while you're here so let her know you love her. Even if she cant show that she does you, too.
Just seeing the pain in Travis eyes when talking about the accident kills me inside. I remember hearing about it. Guys my hands down favorite musician. God bless you man!
Travis Barker is amazing. You have to decide to overcome the things that will drag you down, prove people wrong. I was told at twelve years old that I would be in a wheelchair by twenty and I'm sixty one and still walking. Go Travis. Respect.
this hit home. I went through two bad motorcycle crashes in the same year and the healing from my 2nd crash was brutal. Im walking again and never though I would. Sending good thoughts to anyone needing a hug
Wow Travis is so inspirational to me. After my motorcycle accident I feel okay to let all the meds go and continue my life.the story of the plane crash was in and out of the media so fast I didn't know how bad it was.
I admire him x100 more, this is incredible. I don’t like taking over the counter pain pills for simple things so the fact he literally was in real deep pain and decided nahhh when came home is phenomenal!
I was a terrible stress-drinker, and once I finally got distance from all the things causing me stress and I cut back on drinking, it really does feel like I was reborn. I was like "God, that all feels like a another life." Even now, a year on, I feel like I'm still figuring out who I am again and how I relate to the world around me.
Damien Oshea bro one time this dude dropped his spork at lunch and didn’t even pick it up. Do u understand what kinda bipolar meds and pain killers I needed for years to come? And yeah. The mean green machine streets of west linn.
I like him.He is so strong mentally.I give him so much credit for overcoming his demons.I wouldn’t blame him if he couldn’t have quit drugs.He’s been through hell and back.He’s a likable guy.Joe did a great interview for sure
Joe needs to learn more about adhd, bipolar, depression, etc. Normally I don't mind Joe giving his opinions, it's his show. However, when he starts talking about serious mental illness it usually comes off as comically naive.
Yeah omfg it was so annoying listening to him trip out about the bipolar meds. It’s like Travis was swinging fists at Drs, didn’t understand what had happened to him, was suicidal, in a semi state of psychosis.... yeah they’re gonna give him a bunch of mood stabilisers (bipolar meds). Good for him not needed them. But of course they’re gonna give them to him.
Travis is the real deal. Such an impressive guy that has lived through so much. I heard another interview when he talked about his mom and dad and beginning drumming at the age of 4. Wow! I am looking for all his interviews after he and Kourtney married. He has a fascinating past and I am so glad that he and Kourtney found each other. Team Kourtney and Travis...I am excited about their pregnancy.
So sad,thankfully hes a resilant man and wants to live life after such trauma....absolutely dumbfounded how he walked out with such strength and continued grace and zest for life....incredible stuff right there if u ask me...continued 🙏's to him
@@questiontime9957 yeah...not funny at all what hes saying,its sad and traumatic and u say LMFAO? Is there something wrong with you "Paul" I'm assuming that's your name? I'm trying to be polite,although that was incredibly ignorant to laugh at,so I'm not trying to go out of my way to be polite,just normal...because your comment doesn't even deserve that honestly 🤨👎
I am amazed at how mellow he is and how he totally kept his composure while talking about an extremely emotional and traumatic experience! He is a testament to sobriety! 👏👏
At the time, I was working for a limo company, and was summoned to be the driver for Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) the night before. I was there at LAX in the morning before noon, waiting for my queue, to meet him at the arrival waiting area, when my boss had called me back to the office to tell me the news. I had been his driver for nearly a year, even for special events in the LA area. Including after the accident. I was really saddened once I had heard he passed, almost a year after the plane accident. Last time I saw him, was at the airport, and he thanked me for always being there for him. Miss you Adam.
This story is probably one of the most important interviews of how doctors always assume of what their patience need, but in the end they are wrong in so many different ways. Thanks Travis stay strong man and I hope your still doing the other type of therapy I love which is playing drums
that last part Joe talked about before the video ended really hit hard. It felt like the past year I've been 5 different individuals, but all in a good way with self improvement
3:15 I cracked my head open skateboarding and ever since I have had bi-polar and ptsd symptoms. I think just head trauma alone frequently causes emotional issues like ptsd and bipolar disorder, even in people who were not predisposed with these conditions
Female veteran 83-92. When the 101st at Fort Campbell, Kentucky went over to multiforce observers, my unit was on a plane that went down over GANDER, NEW FOUND LAND. The plane's wings were not de-iced properly and it went down. I remember the fkd up feelings of loss, and guilt from not dying with them. Then came deployments to the middle east. It's crazy what the mind can overcome. Praise be to God for my life! Insanity for sure. Good job on keeping that sobriety that's a rare thing, bruh! God's blessings and keep tapping them drums you are a master drummer!
I’d say Travis suffers with survivors guilt, the movie fearless really opened my eyes to the psychology of those who survive a near death experience, particularly a plane crash
I live literally 3 minutes or less from where the plane crashed, I remember hearing it and then soon after the entire fire department I live beside rolling out. I remember how the hill I passed every day for work and school was burned for so long. I think it’s crazy I was so close to this.
Travis was inspiration for me to even be on a band. The day of the accident I had a show in Brazil. and I could barely play... I was shaking the entire time til we played a Blink cover. It is always so good to see him well and go to concerts and hear him play and talk... Still my inspiration.
bipolar medication is also used as an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug so it would be to deal with the extreme depression that he would experience. bipolar is bouts of extreme depression and extreme happiness, all antidepressants do the same thing pretty much.. just different strengths and whatever.
Awe man. Bless his heart. I’m sure that while he was in hospital, he had to block out so much to survive..... and then to be hit with the reality, yeah. I can imagine he went a little nuts. I can’t imagine going through what he went through.
tbh i forgot about Travis' accident until i recently watched the clip of joe and travis talking about tattoos, and they talk about his burns. fucking insane that he went through that, and that he actually survived. very, very lucky to live through that.
its mind-blowing what he has gone through. always seemed like a solid dude since day one. much respect Travis. and rest peacefully to those we lost that crazy night
Once you pass your 30s, you will have just as much experience under your belt. It sounds scary when you're in your teens/20s/young adulthood. Tragedies will affect you less and less as you get used to them.
@@LauraLush0 thats true. im 47 now and people seem to pass every week or two. its still sad and tough. But it makes you appreciate the simple things and let the BS go
@@STRAIGHTP Oh, wow lol. There are usually mostly kids in the comments these days. I'm sorry, but am glad to be communicating with another adult. I just turned 37 yesterday! Anyway, I think my brain was programmed from the beginning that families/relationships are temporary, because I was the outcome of an affair; put up for adoption at birth; ward of the state; orphan; transferred though foster families; etc, so I think I just might be that much more jaded. I feel like my entire life has been saying goodbye to people not counting the fact that I additionally lost some really close friends at very young ages & even had a stranger die/OD in my lap while I was waiting for an ambulance at age 15 (lss). My best friend died in 2017 and I will never be the same from that for sure...
@@LauraLush0 very similar for me. i dont think i have ever told anybody aside of my sister about dealing with a strangers life being lost and trying to save them and do what i can before there were any paramedics. And ultimately, he passed away in my hands.That really messed me up. I have to block it out of my mind. And i too lost so many close friends at young ages. I am running out of room to tattoo their names. I'll tell you one thing. I wake up happier nowadays and make the most out of the oxygen i absorb. ;)
@@STRAIGHTP Omgosh!!! I have several memorial tattoos and will never forget an elderly relative coming to my high school graduation party and at one point asked me why I have so many tattoos. I explained both the happy ones, as well as the memorials. I will never forget him telling me that if he got a tattoo after every loved one has passed, he would be covered from head to toe. He was probably in his 60s. I was 17 and asked him, "How many of them died as children?" Because mine were all very close friends and they died as minors...... I slowly began realizing just how non relatable I was whenever little convos like that would come up.
For a few years after he came back out in public and started playing drums again he didn’t seem right and seemed kinda out of it, even in pictures he seemed off but now it’s so great to see Travis looking and acting totally normal the way we all know and love him. People hate on this man and his drumming and that it’s all show and no skill but this man has truely been a pioneer for this kind of music and the style of drumming he brought to this style. So many drummers in the pop punk/scene bands emulate Travis and his set up and the way he dresses and talks and drums. He’s truely an iconic figure in music. He was so original and was so different than every other drummer back then. His funky hip hop style to punk music has been very resfreshing. Some of the beats and patterns he came up with over a blink riff is iconic and so amazing. Such a great writer of drum parts and making simple music with simple guitars and bass sound more complicating because of his beats.
The fact that he chose sobriety over pain meds after such a traumatic event is huge. Not everyone is able to handle both emotional and physical pain this well. This is strength.

@@Villainous98 yikes. Just keep loving her dude; you only have 1 mom while you're here so let her know you love her. Even if she cant show that she does you, too.
Just seeing the pain in Travis eyes when talking about the accident kills me inside. I remember hearing about it. Guys my hands down favorite musician. God bless you man!
Travis has a Ice Cube shirt and Slayer hat on. I love it
Travis Barker is amazing. You have to decide to overcome the things that will drag you down, prove people wrong. I was told at twelve years old that I would be in a wheelchair by twenty and I'm sixty one and still walking. Go Travis. Respect.
this hit home. I went through two bad motorcycle crashes in the same year and the healing from my 2nd crash was brutal. Im walking again and never though I would. Sending good thoughts to anyone needing a hug
Wow! He is a role model for anyone going through hard stuff. I wish you well Travis.
Joe “I still wanna ask him about DMT” Rogan
Joe: WOOOOOOOOOWWW you would wake up in the middle of anesthesia?
Travis: yeah... so that was a problem
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Czech
Scorpio lol
They way he looked away to relive it for a moment lol
Wow Travis is so inspirational to me. After my motorcycle accident I feel okay to let all the meds go and continue my life.the story of the plane crash was in and out of the media so fast I didn't know how bad it was.
It's honestly a blessing that anyone survived that crash, it was horrific.
Waking up from anesthesia sounds scary asf!
Slayer beanie.. Ice Cube T-shirt.. with a punk in the middle.. (D) All the above.
*riversider
why u think he's so humble... HE FUCKS with EVERYONE... he sees no color racist shit... if more did that.......
@@rickrolledtruth5834 don't bring race into it ik you don't mean anything bad by it just don't mention race
RICK ROLLED{FaCTz} low IQ = gets triggered and immediately screeches racist. Congrats
@@theotherguy21 tf he can mention whatver tf he wants to stop trippin
"I haven't done anything for 10 years."
"Not even DMT?"
What a strong human being. So much love and admiration for him.
60% of his body burned is about as serious as it gets , odds were against him him for sure
Him and kourtney surprised me
@@VHale-yz7hc yup
he knows what's important... humility
I admire him x100 more, this is incredible. I don’t like taking over the counter pain pills for simple things so the fact he literally was in real deep pain and decided nahhh when came home is phenomenal!
Travis has always been an icon since I was a kid in the 90s, if we loose him the world will never be the same
He joined the band in 98 and enema came out in 99 so how had he always been a icon to u as a kid in the 90s more like an icon for 2000s kids
This fella is a strong person he can help so many addicts and people struggling with addiction and PTSD
He literally has an angel in heaven looking out for him ❤️
Its just his path
Good for Travis Barker.
Seems like a solid dude.
When Travis says “Possibly” at 3:52 , such a genuine response 😎
I was a terrible stress-drinker, and once I finally got distance from all the things causing me stress and I cut back on drinking, it really does feel like I was reborn. I was like "God, that all feels like a another life." Even now, a year on, I feel like I'm still figuring out who I am again and how I relate to the world around me.
He seems like a really cool and strong willed person ☝🏼❤️
I think he's ready to have a mentall breakdown.
kanervatie haha ! I am too so maybe that’s why I vibe with him 😜😜😜😜
Truth Seeker when u have it be sure to upload it on your channel... or better yet u can twerk your problems away ;p
I was a survivor of flight 232, and it was a brutal comeback. Still a struggle...
Let's hear your story. From you, not archived secondhand journalists
I'm a survivor of Malaysia airlines flight 370. Talk about a brutal comeback, I'm still struggling to adapt
Fuck all of that I survived high school man. Shit gets rough out here in Oregon.
+Light Work West linn by any chance? chael sonnen taught us that shit got really rough around there alright!😂😂
Damien Oshea bro one time this dude dropped his spork at lunch and didn’t even pick it up. Do u understand what kinda bipolar meds and pain killers I needed for years to come? And yeah. The mean green machine streets of west linn.
I like him.He is so strong mentally.I give him so much credit for overcoming his demons.I wouldn’t blame him if he couldn’t have quit drugs.He’s been through hell and back.He’s a likable guy.Joe did a great interview for sure
Travis is so so nice. How can he be that patient with this guy?
Joe needs to learn more about adhd, bipolar, depression, etc. Normally I don't mind Joe giving his opinions, it's his show. However, when he starts talking about serious mental illness it usually comes off as comically naive.
DogSpark84 yeh 100% agree
Yeah omfg it was so annoying listening to him trip out about the bipolar meds. It’s like Travis was swinging fists at Drs, didn’t understand what had happened to him, was suicidal, in a semi state of psychosis.... yeah they’re gonna give him a bunch of mood stabilisers (bipolar meds). Good for him not needed them. But of course they’re gonna give them to him.
Same with Bobby Lee. I can't understand how one can he a stand up comic and not have much of a clue.
Dude Ikr he doesn’t know anything. The first page on google would prove him wrong
Time to stop watching
Travis is the real deal. Such an impressive guy that has lived through so much. I heard another interview when he talked about his mom and dad and beginning drumming at the age of 4. Wow! I am looking for all his interviews after he and Kourtney married. He has a fascinating past and I am so glad that he and Kourtney found each other. Team Kourtney and Travis...I am excited about their pregnancy.
I bet he woke up in the hospital like, “what’s my name again”
dammit,feeling this and down
Lmfao
So sad,thankfully hes a resilant man and wants to live life after such trauma....absolutely dumbfounded how he walked out with such strength and continued grace and zest for life....incredible stuff right there if u ask me...continued 🙏's to him
@@questiontime9957 yeah...not funny at all what hes saying,its sad and traumatic and u say LMFAO? Is there something wrong with you "Paul" I'm assuming that's your name? I'm trying to be polite,although that was incredibly ignorant to laugh at,so I'm not trying to go out of my way to be polite,just normal...because your comment doesn't even deserve that honestly 🤨👎
@@venessahunt405" whats your name again" is song title from.the band that he is in. A simple pun.
I am amazed at how mellow he is and how he totally kept his composure while talking about an extremely emotional and traumatic experience! He is a testament to sobriety! 👏👏
One of the most real people out there!
Eddie Welter realest
At the time, I was working for a limo company, and was summoned to be the driver for Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) the night before. I was there at LAX in the morning before noon, waiting for my queue, to meet him at the arrival waiting area, when my boss had called me back to the office to tell me the news.
I had been his driver for nearly a year, even for special events in the LA area. Including after the accident.
I was really saddened once I had heard he passed, almost a year after the plane accident.
Last time I saw him, was at the airport, and he thanked me for always being there for him.
Miss you Adam.
He truly is a blessed guy and incredible how he turned his life around. Triumph
Rogan is concerned that doctors prescribe pharmaceuticals that we don't need...that's pretty much what the entire industry is built on.
Highly recommend reading Travis' Auto-Biography "Can I Say?" He goes into this and a lot more in such brutal detail. Dude is a living legend.
This story is probably one of the most important interviews of how doctors always assume of what their patience need, but in the end they are wrong in so many different ways. Thanks Travis stay strong man and I hope your still doing the other type of therapy I love which is playing drums
that last part Joe talked about before the video ended really hit hard. It felt like the past year I've been 5 different individuals, but all in a good way with self improvement
Gotta be so hard for Travis to open up about everything. Joe did a great job respecting his story through the podcast
He seems so genuine, love this. Hopefully the full pod will be up soon... been looking for it.
Wow thank you Travis so much for telling your story and honestly giving others hope
I'm glad Travis can talk about this openly. Very cool and helps a lot of people
I really like him . He seems like such a good guy. Lucky Kourtney! ♡
By far my favorite Joe Rogan interview... I re-watch it every couple of month
I am so humbled by his honesty about himself. I wish this talented dude nothing but blessings and love. 😘❤🙏
When Travis was describing waking up during his operation, I had to pause the video. I can’t 8magine that kind of pain. This dude is something else.
Travis Barker needs his own podcast!
3:15 I cracked my head open skateboarding and ever since I have had bi-polar and ptsd symptoms. I think just head trauma alone frequently causes emotional issues like ptsd and bipolar disorder, even in people who were not predisposed with these conditions
Female veteran 83-92. When the 101st at Fort Campbell, Kentucky went over to multiforce observers, my unit was on a plane that went down over GANDER, NEW FOUND LAND. The plane's wings were not de-iced properly and it went down. I remember the fkd up feelings of loss, and guilt from not dying with them. Then came deployments to the middle east. It's crazy what the mind can overcome. Praise be to God for my life! Insanity for sure. Good job on keeping that sobriety that's a rare thing, bruh! God's blessings and keep tapping them drums you are a master drummer!
I’d say Travis suffers with survivors guilt, the movie fearless really opened my eyes to the psychology of those who survive a near death experience, particularly a plane crash
Travis is the coolest guy, Fontana tough. It's hard growing up in Fontana. He's down to earth guy!
I live literally 3 minutes or less from where the plane crashed, I remember hearing it and then soon after the entire fire department I live beside rolling out. I remember how the hill I passed every day for work and school was burned for so long. I think it’s crazy I was so close to this.
Go Travis. His honesty is very refreshing and he seems like a really decent dude.
Perfect glimpse into someone’s soul. Had no idea Travis was anything like this.
Havent watched yet, but has Joe asked him if he's tried DMT?
😂🤣
Haha 😂
few seconds in he asked if hes tried edibles 😂
Joe doesn’t like it when people aren’t into weed anymore for some reason.
@@jxgreen1985 theyre
Let’s take inspiration from this, and get away from our own addictions
He is the kindest, sweetest, most humble and self.deprecating person. He's a really good person.
After hearing this story i am even more excited to see him play on the blink 182 tour this week. What a warrior
WHAT A SOLID DUDE, MY GOODNESS, BEEN A FAN FOREVER BUT THIS JUST PUT HIM ON ANOTHER LEVEL.
I've never been a huge fan of blink 182 but after this podcast I feel mad respect for Travis. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with
Travis was inspiration for me to even be on a band. The day of the accident I had a show in Brazil. and I could barely play... I was shaking the entire time til we played a Blink cover. It is always so good to see him well and go to concerts and hear him play and talk... Still my inspiration.
I don't understand everything, but Someone saved him for a reason . I'm glad he's o.k.
"im doing good, im off all those meds you said i'd be on for the rest of my life" bruh 😂
bipolar medication is also used as an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug so it would be to deal with the extreme depression that he would experience.
bipolar is bouts of extreme depression and extreme happiness, all antidepressants do the same thing pretty much.. just different strengths and whatever.
Awe man. Bless his heart. I’m sure that while he was in hospital, he had to block out so much to survive..... and then to be hit with the reality, yeah. I can imagine he went a little nuts. I can’t imagine going through what he went through.
I can't imagine wat he went through in that plane crash that's another level right there man, glad he's okay man.
Also love how open he is and honest. Bc though he's famous... he's human. And genuine.
tbh i forgot about Travis' accident until i recently watched the clip of joe and travis talking about tattoos, and they talk about his burns. fucking insane that he went through that, and that he actually survived. very, very lucky to live through that.
WOW my hats off to Travis for turning a corner to a new chapter and second chance at life.
its mind-blowing what he has gone through. always seemed like a solid dude since day one. much respect Travis. and rest peacefully to those we lost that crazy night
Once you pass your 30s, you will have just as much experience under your belt. It sounds scary when you're in your teens/20s/young adulthood. Tragedies will affect you less and less as you get used to them.
@@LauraLush0 thats true. im 47 now and people seem to pass every week or two. its still sad and tough. But it makes you appreciate the simple things and let the BS go
@@STRAIGHTP Oh, wow lol. There are usually mostly kids in the comments these days. I'm sorry, but am glad to be communicating with another adult. I just turned 37 yesterday! Anyway, I think my brain was programmed from the beginning that families/relationships are temporary, because I was the outcome of an affair; put up for adoption at birth; ward of the state; orphan; transferred though foster families; etc, so I think I just might be that much more jaded. I feel like my entire life has been saying goodbye to people not counting the fact that I additionally lost some really close friends at very young ages & even had a stranger die/OD in my lap while I was waiting for an ambulance at age 15 (lss). My best friend died in 2017 and I will never be the same from that for sure...
@@LauraLush0 very similar for me. i dont think i have ever told anybody aside of my sister about dealing with a strangers life being lost and trying to save them and do what i can before there were any paramedics. And ultimately, he passed away in my hands.That really messed me up. I have to block it out of my mind. And i too lost so many close friends at young ages. I am running out of room to tattoo their names. I'll tell you one thing. I wake up happier nowadays and make the most out of the oxygen i absorb. ;)
@@STRAIGHTP Omgosh!!! I have several memorial tattoos and will never forget an elderly relative coming to my high school graduation party and at one point asked me why I have so many tattoos. I explained both the happy ones, as well as the memorials. I will never forget him telling me that if he got a tattoo after every loved one has passed, he would be covered from head to toe. He was probably in his 60s. I was 17 and asked him, "How many of them died as children?" Because mine were all very close friends and they died as minors...... I slowly began realizing just how non relatable I was whenever little convos like that would come up.
For a few years after he came back out in public and started playing drums again he didn’t seem right and seemed kinda out of it, even in pictures he seemed off but now it’s so great to see Travis looking and acting totally normal the way we all know and love him. People hate on this man and his drumming and that it’s all show and no skill but this man has truely been a pioneer for this kind of music and the style of drumming he brought to this style. So many drummers in the pop punk/scene bands emulate Travis and his set up and the way he dresses and talks and drums. He’s truely an iconic figure in music. He was so original and was so different than every other drummer back then. His funky hip hop style to punk music has been very resfreshing. Some of the beats and patterns he came up with over a blink riff is iconic and so amazing. Such a great writer of drum parts and making simple music with simple guitars and bass sound more complicating because of his beats.
