Before setting the record straight, host <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/james_corden\">James Corden<\/a><\/strong> explained that folks in the U.K. say, &#8220;One-Eight-Two,&#8221; whereas people in the United States say, &#8220;One-Eighty-Two.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think when we&#8217;re over there, we&#8217;re okay with people saying, \u2018Blink One-Eight-Two,'&#8221; he told the <em>Cats<\/em> star. &#8220;And in the States, it&#8217;s always been Blink One-Eighty-Two. So, I guess it&#8217;s just, like, where we&#8217;re at, like, when we&#8217;re in Europe and the U.K. they&#8217;re saying, \u2018Blink One-Eight-Two.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Defending his pronunciation, James quipped, &#8220;But it is One-Eight-Two. It&#8217;s not One-Eighty-Two \u2018cause otherwise you&#8217;d say, \u2018One hundred and eighty-two,'&#8221; to which Travis replied, &#8220;Yeah and that would sound really weird.&#8221; After hearing his explanation, the musician agreed, &#8220;I guess because, you know, the way you just kind of explained it to me, it could be Blink One-Eight-Two.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"59.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"9\">\n<p>Travis and James were also joined by <strong>Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong>, who teamed up with the Blink-182 star for his new single &#8220;Bloody Valentine, and he posed an interesting point. &#8220;Baby Yoda would probably call it 182-Blink, so there&#8217;s so many different ways to approach the name of this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m like a Blink Hundred-Eighty-Two. I like to say the word \u2018hundred.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"60\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"10\">\n<p>Laughing at the &#8220;Bad Things&#8221; rapper&#8217;s response, Travis chimed in, &#8220;I think we&#8217;re all in disagreeance here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the musicians caught up with James and shared how they&#8217;re faring while practicing social distance.

Like, I can&#8217;t do anything. I can&#8217;t go anywhere. I just have to sit in my own head and see if I like myself or not. And the work that I&#8217;ve been putting out amongst this quarantine has been my most well-received work yet, so it&#8217;s like what a concept.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Travis said, &#8220;I really love quarantine\u2014minus the coronavirus. I&#8217;m all about it,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I feel like just being able to laser focus with no distractions on music, being at home with the family, it&#8217;s like the best. I think Kells and I were both in our studio quarantine way before this quarantine just, like, making this album like 20 hours a day in the studio, which was awesome.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1149184\/travis-barker-settles-heated-debate-is-it-blink-one-eight-two-or-blink-one-eighty-two?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
