00:00hey I'm fancy hey good we are on the American spirit tour in Chicago and this is my ride so
00:17up here the cockpit we all take turns driving I've driven a bit my dude Jack drives a bit
00:25everyone kind of takes a turn when they can but me and Jack we've been like locking in
00:29up here learn about music like stuff that I hadn't necessarily heard before I was familiar with
00:34the artists but not their whole catalog and when you're out here you have so much time to just dive
00:38in on people so I've really gotten a big schooling on Neil Young Don Williams I mean I've really gone
00:46hard with Waxahachie this run her album Tiger's Blood is kind of always on repeat in here so
00:54yeah it's this is really school as well it's it's like where I'm learning about music I wasn't quite
01:01familiar with and the aux cord you know it gets shared so we're learning a lot about a lot so
01:06it's really fun all right so I'm a tchotchkes girly so we were just in North Carolina at Merle Fest
01:14and I got this little bird I collect stained glass little tchotchkes from my sunroom so
01:19I got her for my sunroom so this is where she sits so I don't break her and then also I always
01:25have some ketchup on hand because I'm a chicken tendies girly and nothing is worse than when you
01:31go through the drive-thru and they don't give you sauce so I always have my own yeah and then you
01:37know got some cash when you got to stop and get the Red Bull the Celsius the coffee and we keep that
01:43stocked in the back as well so yeah not much going on up here but um the essentials you know
01:49so we got me and the band which is like four other guys we're a five piece and then my opener Abby Cone
01:56who's incredible if you're not familiar you got to go check Abby out she uh she kind of like
02:01piles in the back and like takes that bench row and then my guitar player Greg and my bass player
02:07James share this bench seat and then my drummer Chris he has some back issues so he has to like
02:13lay out right here and like kind of keep his whole thing going down up here he has a whole rig with him
02:19of like things to sit on and like back braces and everything so this is his and then me and Jack
02:26are usually up here so up here we have a tv and there's a ps4 in here um so the guys can play games
02:33and ball out back here while you know other people are driving I'm not much of a gamer if they had
02:39fortnight in here I'd be popping off but they don't so yeah I forget what games they actually
02:44have there's a sports game and a racing game so they kind of pop off on that but I also have this
02:49guy this is Merle he's become our mascot I got him at Merle Fest as well I have an owl in my backyard
02:57at home so I just figured I could take this home and learn how to communicate with the animals
03:01in my backyard yeah it's it's getting wild out here so snackage is you know you gotta have tic tacs
03:13to keep the breath fresh for the fans and the meet and greets um some I mean to be honest I've not
03:22eaten this I bought it it looks like healthy I don't know that it is but there was a cookie dough
03:28one as well and that got eaten and this is still here and then I'm real big on the breakfast bar so
03:35but what the real treat
03:38meat sticks can't leave the house without them gotta have the protein and then I'm actually glad we're
03:47doing this because I just found extra merch so gotta sell these bad boys tonight I need gas money
03:53these are just leftover things from little cold brew action from Costco shout out Costco Red Bull
04:01oh this is a Pacifico good thing this is in the backseat am I right yeah I'm not sure how that got
04:10there but yeah we're pretty much green room bandits we stock up on green room everything so especially if
04:19you're at a bar like we're at tonight Carol's Pub where they're feeding you and you can get drinks at the bar a lot of stuff is just
04:24left in the green room I myself am a diet coke fanatic so there's usually a large amount of diet coke in the vicinity of this van so and then also I just stole this box from
04:37Carol's Pub because I like I said earlier I'm a tchotchkes girly so there's an antique store here in Chicago that I have to hit tomorrow so I stole this to put things in it so I can get it home
04:48always on the writer for us I love a veggie tray has to have ranch I won't eat a vegetable without ranch
04:56um diet coke is an essential I'm I have found out that diet coke is a hot commodity every guitar player
05:05I've ever had has also been obsessed with diet coke so we have to have a lot because there has to be at
05:11least six or seven like set aside for me and then everyone else can help themselves whatever we usually
05:17have vodka like Tito's tequila Miller Lite is it we're pretty easy we're a we're an easy crew so it doesn't
05:27take a lot I need fruit usually grapes is what I prefer doesn't matter what kind that's because it's
05:35nature's candy and I'm I can't have candy every night although I want it I keep it off the writer
05:41so we have fruit on there to replace that yeah we're pretty simple so my drummer has like back
05:48issues and traveling in a van is not even if you don't have back issues you can sometimes leave with
05:55them so he has this whole setup there's like that cushion he has this guy you know you put this there
06:01and then he's brilliant and carries this which you attach to the back of the seat so he can watch
06:06anything whenever however um which makes me very jealous because I was riding back here I'd be doing
06:13this pretty much the whole time catching up on my housewives so and then oh he also has this
06:19he has this whole rig it's like this whole thing that keeps him in pretty good shape so you make do
06:29so this is where we keep all of the gear all the merch everything and um it gets filled to the brim
06:37there's no space left in here by the time we get everything from the show in the in the back and
06:45greg my electric guitar player he is the tetris master he can move everything to make it fit and
06:51it's wild and he's just getting better and better at it which is not a talent I possess so I'm really
06:57grateful for greg and yeah just everything goes back here and it's pretty crazy to see it because
07:02there is not much room I wish it was where I could ride because this feels very nice and private and
07:08quiet but there's no room for me once we put everything in so yeah I'm fancy hey good thanks
