Travis Barker on Tom Delonge's UFO Fascination | Joe Rogan

So I have to ask you does Tom talk about UFOs all the time? Well, you know, he's not in the band No, yeah, I know but you know always do that He always did we used to get loaded and just look out the bus window for what and I used to do it with him It's like I don't know. It's kind of a bonding experience. It's like If you wanted to show me bow and arrows whatever we're on tour together, of course I'd sit there and like, you know check it out. So with Tom that was his thing like fucking let's get high and look for UFOs So we would you know, we just sit there and like stare out the bus window Look at UFOs or like he would even go as far as when we're on tour like let's go and fucking look for Bigfoot Whatever it was, you know and he would assemble a crew and they would go do it Oh my god, he never got me on one of those trips because that was just too fairy tale for me But yeah, but I would you know, I'd do that and he was always it's really not something He just got into from the day. I fucking met him He was obsessed with UFOs and aliens and was always very passionate about it to the point where like I didn't know enough to To have any kind of I guess like opinion on it I was just very open and and you know just took it all in yeah But nothing has changed. He's still the other day. I talked to him. He's like I'm on the way to the fucking White House, bro And I don't ask any questions I'd be like as you should be Yeah, what a great response yeah, good luck with that. Yep Wow That's crazy. Yeah, he was a trip man having a conversation with him was very strange because I'm a part of me was like It's guy putting me on like what is happening? He's dead ass dead ass Seem like it and we would look at these videos that were so clearly horse shit and he would be like amazing, right? And I'm like what like you think that that's an actual UFO like that is the fakest fucking video I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, but he didn't see that at all Yeah in his mind. He was seeing a real alien spaceship even on tour I'd be like you'd walk in my room and he'd be like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'll check this thing out. I just made up whatever playing drums Dude fucking whatever George Bush just did, you know, he's just coming at me with some like politics He's been watching CNN or or yeah, like he's just he's always been obsessed with it So he's obsessed with all sorts of like hidden things like not just UFOs but Bigfoot to and conspiracy theories Politics. Yeah, everything very very passionate about all those things Conspiracy theories and politics It's interesting how those things go together because people were always wondering like who the fuck is running things What what's really going on? Yeah, what's happening behind the scenes? Who's pulling the strings? What does it all really mean? Yeah, you know Yeah, but the UFO thing it's like boy boy you got up. I mean I Absolutely believe there could be intelligent life out there, but I haven't seen a fucking single thing That makes me think that anybody's got a picture saying video. Yeah, I feel like it could it could be real I believe but I'm not I can't fucking I'm not dedicating my life to search for it You know, yeah And I give it to a man to like honestly to walk away from your fucking very successful band to go do that shit like I Have nothing but respect for his passion. Yeah, but it's like I couldn't do that. That's insane Yeah, it's like that just it really shows like he's You know, he's very very passionate about it. I hope he saved up some money. Yeah, me too You know survivor man less drowned now he's you ever see that show, huh fucking great show He would survivor man would go out into the woods with a limited amount of things He would say like okay. I've got this bucket. I've got a fucking pocket knife and I got a ball a ball of yarn And I'm gonna survive out here for seven days and he films the whole thing and he'd be filming himself like eating frogs and catching A squirrel and finding edible plants and just living out in the forest and oftentimes going days and days without food Yeah, and then he would have like a point where he'd get rescued seven days in there would be a spot where they would meet him He had an experience when he was in Alaska a long time ago where he was camping And he said he heard footsteps like big heavy footsteps and he heard some sound that sounded like a gorilla like Like something like that. Yeah, and And then it ran off and to this day he's convinced that that was a Bigfoot And so now he has survivor man Bigfoot And he goes out into the woods and just looks for evidence of Sasquatch Well, he should he needs to he needs to hit up Tom Tom will pull up. He'll go with it. He would love that
