Funny how Travis (who literally posts everything) didn’t mention it at all. Tom knew it would get him some likes/attention and milked the shit out of it to try and stir fans up once again. He didn’t even have the balls to take a picture of Travis or ask for a pic of both of them, he just teased it sitting there waiting....How sad. 

I don't think Travis was there. I think he phoned him up, told him he'd need him to be interviewed for something, Tom said sure, and a film crew showed up without Travis. otherwise we'd sure as hell have a picture with Travis in it.

I agree I don't think Travis was there.

This TTS stuff is no doubt the beginning of the end for Tom. Within a few years (or less) when this goes belly up or Tom loses interest (Like Blink, AVA, Modlife, Comic Book store, Ebay Auction Site, Poet Anderson etc)

"Investors" are going to be pissed. Once they see they paid $200 at least for nothing more than an email. There will likely be a lawsuit or two. His ability to be an entrepreneur (what little ability he has) will be rendered useless.

Really his only option will be some Blink/BCR tribute. But honestly, I am not sure he is mentally or physically capable of it. I really don't think he is.

Normally I'd say I feel bad for the guy, but he's a fucking asshole, so I don't.

This video came up in my recommended feed the other day. It's odd. it's essentially some woman commenting on Tom's body language. I have no idea how legit body language stuff is, but she doesn't seem to know much of anything about him so I found it a little interesting... she clearly isn't a fan though haha

I've always said there is a strong possibility that Tom ends up doing county fair shows booked under "The 182 Experience feat. Tom Delonge," lol. He's 41 now. He has about 10 more years he can piss away before shitty solo tours will be his only way to make money.

Looks like his business is doing extremely well. I'd say he's still got a lot in him.

It is? Tell me how you get a $300mil+ project off the ground with a couple mil dollars?

Either he just takes the money and does nothing, or he takes the money and blows it on something stupid. Either way, he's fucked relative to what he's promised.

The "coming soon" will only get him so far.

How much money did Apple have to start?

It really depends on a lot of factors. Hopefully there's more to it for Tom's sake.

Did you just compare Steve Jobs to Tom Delonge?

LMAO!

Apple sold a product, that people wanted to buy in droves. What product will Tom sell that will sell like Apple?

 

Steve Jobs was a prick who smelled horrible. He also coasted on the work of others.

Well she points out that he gets 'lost' in his own story, that some of it is fabricated or that he's actually confused himself. 

Pretty much. And moreover, I guess you don't have to be a specialist in body language to see that he turns kind of messy when he has to dig a little bit deeper in order to explain himself or what he's doing. I observed that a year ago or so, in an interview in Comicon?, he just tries to go loud in terms of body expression, using 'funny' words or whatever, but he's unable to be concrete. My conclussion, and I have no idea of what he's really doing, is that he has no clue on what really wants to do and how to do it. Only that can explain how volatile some of his shit has been thrugh the years. Yeah, he may say he wants this and that, and that he's gonna do this and that, but in the end... he only gets milked from authors and the likes of. And in the end, well... it all unveils with no clear direction. Even his idea of that 'transmedia franchise' he was going to create with Poet Anderson is now diluted. Is anybody remembering that? The way he explained the thing was if like he was to release the next Star Wars franchise (movies, books, comics, the whole 'transmedia' shit that he NEVER explained and never happened...). It all ended up being a couple of books and a short movie? Wow.

Same here. I don't think he knows anything special, and I don't think he's gonna do nothing. I do think he has been told some not relevant shit, and he just don't have proof or facts to throw it all and being believed.
