I saw the San Diego Padres owner just passed away. If the team goes up for sale, I wonder if Tom would have interest contributing to an offer to become a part owner?

he would need to get out of debt from trying to find aliens first

He sold the rights to his discography as well as had fans “invest” in the TTS bullshit, so I really am not sure how his financial situation is. I realize TTS appears to be a net loss, but I don’t know if Tom took that on. If he has received decent financial guidance and management, he should have like at least $30-50+ million by now.

So i'm listening to Pod Meets World podcast and Danielle brought up Tom Delonge and Will and Ryder had no idea who he was, Danielle brought up blink and then Will goes "Oh he's the Alien guy!" 🤣 Made me laugh that's how he's looked at by some now lol

So I was listening to OMT and once the album finishes it then goes into shuffle mode, which in turn starts playing Pretty Little Girl. I usually never have DED songs pop up and in just reminds me how much of an oddball release that was.

Curious what they would have made next if Tom didn't leave a second time.

Some of Tom’s solo album were Blink demos, no?

That's what he said. I would've like to hear what New World and Endless Summer sounded like with the full band. I think it would have been a more cohesive release than Neighborhoods.

I wonder if any board members invested in that? I still find that it's crazy that he was asking fans to invest.  All he had to do was just stay with Blink and make another album and tour. The fans would have been happy and he would have had more than enough money to fund some of his projects.

I find it crazy they he sold his discography rights. Was the lump sum a better value than than the ongoing years of royalties? I wonder if he just didn't want his ex-wife to get a slice of the royalties.

Might of needed to so he could pay for the divorce.

I think we underestimate how hard that divorce was on him. From everything we've heard, it really sounds like it crushed him, understandably so

I have the same feeling. I think Tom had a really bad time with this. I always felt like Tom is the typical person that hides his struggles under that goofy image he has. You know, he will always be the crazy ufo guy who quit blink to chase bigfoot. But he's more than that.
