00:00Good evening. Welcome to the Vanobus. We're currently on the Loving and Losing Tour with

00:22Honey Revenge. We're in Chicago right now. Yeah, it's been a blast. It's truly been so

00:27fun. It started raining and thunderstorming today, first one of the summer. Let's fucking go.

00:32This is whoever needs it the most sped. We call it the princess cot. Whoever needs to be the

00:39princess for the night gets to sleep in this lovely royal canopy, you could say. This is the

00:47area where you're less likely to get hurt the most at night. So it's the safest, most loveliest area,

00:54plus you can black it out a bit better. So I'll start off with this thing, which has given me

01:01much of brain injury, I'm sure. Shaking me around a bit. This is Rex. I acquired him at Target. He's

01:09weighted. He's my son. I have many children. I'm a mother of many in this bus. This is Spider-Man.

01:14This is our drummer's child. He is also a great companion to have. Over here we have

01:20comfort blanket number one. Creeper. Oh man. And we also have a dinosaur blanket that I acquired

01:29at a Love's. It's supposed to be glow in the dark. I do think I'm going to file a lawsuit

01:34because I've not seen that happen yet. You will be hearing from my attorney.

01:42Yeah, I think it's bullshit. Um, miscellaneous hoodies corner. Very miscellaneous. Some of

01:54us have the same hoodies, so we really are just, it's a bit of roulette up here. Um, another

02:00son I've acquired, Plague Doctor. Just in case anyone gets sick, we have someone to call. I don't have

02:07health insurance. Um, so I have him. He also has a daughter. This is his clown daughter,

02:14which I relate to a lot, I think. So. The fan got me that. It was lovely.

02:26Welcome to our MTV crib living room area. I'll give you a tour, hey? So we've got the table.

02:36Cod. Which then turns into the cod at night. I usually, this is kind of my area where I

02:42kind of station up the most. As you can see, my dinosaur crocodile, uh, pillow. That's where

02:49I sit. This is a couch. This also turns into a bed at night. Um, we got fairy lights for

02:57some ambiance, um, because the big light is scary. You can actually tell that we've, um, dimmed

03:05down the big light because it's just overstimulating at times. It's a real flashbang when you, when

03:10you go for it. More fairy lights. Boom. This time battery powered because I forgot that plugs

03:15are a thing that you have to be very, very careful about on, on a bus. And this is a Niles.

03:20Hello. He is a guitar player in my band. Bow wow wow. This is also a Harlan. He's also

03:27a guitar player in my band, but the bass kind. Hey, I'm a tour manager. And the tour manager.

03:33And everything. We've tormented the duties. All the time. This is what we do to calm down.

03:40We have to come watch things like this. Um, oh yes. Miscellaneous smells. A stem toy drawer.

03:48Uh, bowl. There's also dishwashing liquid in here. It just kind of fits here I feel like.

03:55Um, there's a carrot cake one that goes very hard. What you want? Would you like to see

04:03my wares? Ten piece. Ten shillings a piece. I got this at Walmart. It's a little, uh, digicam

04:11and it kind of really sings at you when you turn them on. Got it for, got it for like $18

04:18cause it was like the case was broken. I couldn't leave without it. Uh, so yeah, I got that too.

04:23Um, and I have a cat. 3D printed cat that a fan gave me, which is awesome. Cause it reminds

04:31me of my cat at home. Her name is Friday. The horse's name is Friday. I won this at Denny's.

04:37At my friend Denny's house. Just kidding. The breakfast diner. Uh, we won, we like cleaned

04:42out the claw machine, myself and Niles. Um, where are your children? Uh, I think Ducky is

04:50up in the cupboard and then they're in timeout. Unnamed dinosaur guy is somewhere in the back.

04:55We don't talk about him. Yeah. War crimes in short. Um, this is Sponge Robert. Now he's a

05:05called a fugler. I don't like to call him that. It's a bit derogatory. He's my son as well.

05:09He freaks me out. He's cursed. Fucked up. He has a really fucked up. Okay. He can hear you.

05:16He has a cursed amulet. I'm getting to that. So he's wearing an amulet that is apparently cursed.

05:22Um, I asked my fans if they were to get me anything. I would like a coffee shop gift card or a cursed amulet.

05:29So someone came through with a cursed amulet. When I asked what curse they hexed it with, they said success.

05:34So, I don't know what you guys are scared about. I didn't know that part. I'm suffering from it.

05:40Suffering from success because of Sponge Robert. Um, so they live together. I think Gaara and SpongeBob are together.

05:47In a weird way. They look good together. So, I kind of let them do their thing. They watch over me as I sleep.

05:54They watch over me as I sleep on my crocodile. This is a nebulizer. So, I be using it to hydrate my vocal cords.

06:04Um, it's kind of boring to use. Like, I get so bored using it. But it's really good and you should use it if you're a vocalist.

06:11Even though it's so boring to use it. Um, we put on the Cocomelon at the same time.

06:18This is Niles' child. Oh, he's there. Unnamed dinosaur.

06:23Yeah, we gotta name him. A ducky.

06:26Should we name him right now? Yeah. What is it? Uh, Pablo. No, Pablo. Pablo.

06:33Ladies and gentlemen, Pablo. Um, we also have a bunch of gaming consoles. We have a Steam Deck. I don't know. Who's is this?

06:42Uh, I think that might be Matthew Smith. Miscellaneous. Or his vlog.

06:47We're all fucking nerds. Um, so. Sometimes laptops are up there too.

06:52That's why they fucked that cupboard for. They fucking physically assault me.

06:56So, what we do on overnight drives is we put a little, uh, air mattress right here.

07:02And poor old Harlan was sat laying here. And in the middle of the night, I think we turn a corner and this opens up. Out comes a laptop.

07:13Can you edit flames? Explosion. Straight on the lip, buddy. Straight on his face.

07:22I'm not laughing. Yeah, it saved the laptop from being broken. It was our show laptop. So, like, I, it's what good TMs do. We, we keep the show rolling.

07:32You quite literally take one on the chin.

07:33Yeah, my fucking lips are fucked.

07:36And the worst thing was that

07:37he was like, ach, ach, and Matthew

07:40was just on his phone, just didn't even notice.

07:43I wanted the validation

07:44for my pain so bad and no one gave me it.

07:46And then I just got laughed at.

07:48I'm not laughing. I wouldn't laugh at that.

07:50It's really sad. I wouldn't laugh.

07:51Welcome to my kitchen.

07:54You've seen my kitchen.

07:57This is

07:58not a stove.

07:59It is in fact a storage cage

08:02for loose items that

08:03we don't know where else to put.

08:05You know how people have a junk drawer?

08:07Well, this is our junk stove.

10:50and they cooked us a barbecue,

10:51so we have

10:51various foiled meats,

10:53some corn,

10:56have the chance to cook corn,

10:57we're big corn heads here.

10:59Giant corn heads.

11:01Eh,

11:01don't take it out.

11:02Harlan's a big fan of sweet tea,

11:08so he takes up

11:09a lot of fucking real estate

11:11with his fucking sweet tea.

11:13It's a dual effort.

11:14It's me and Matthew,

11:15and that's how we bond.

11:16We drink sweet tea.

11:17I'll allow it,

11:18this one's.

11:19And,

11:20we've got bread in there

11:21that probably shouldn't be in there,

11:23but hey,

11:25at least our bread is up in one way now the freezer of things that we bought that we haven't cooked yet

11:34it's the just in case freezer for if we're hungry and we're we have no access to

11:38takeaway food so we've got chicken nuggets

11:43fake chicken nuggets because we got vegan we've got pizza world uncrustables very similar to the

11:50ritz crackers situation so many uncrustables but those are actually get eaten and tater tots

11:58this is from a very popular show called spongebob squarepants it's about a sponge who lives under

12:04the sea and he is a fry cook it's very misunderstood i can't remember what their name was a fan gave it

12:11to harlan during one of um their shows so we are letting the uh letting it live through our tour as

12:19well it's also nice you know to be able to look outside sometimes it gets a little dark and gloomy

12:24so being able to see into the beautiful bikini bottom sometimes just cheers you up a bit so

12:31welcome to the other doors that are here in this hallway we have our shower area but because we're

12:38metal musicians we don't use it merch storage we've acquired a drummer

12:45do you shower yes he's lying sorry guys

12:56honestly yeah this is purely used for storage because it's kind of scary to shower in there i

13:01think and we also want to conserve water and this is the bathroom that we use only number two our number

13:08ones not number twos not number twos no number twos only number ones um and this is a very strict rule

13:16welcome to where the magic happens

13:20storage time this bed is similar to that of a of a roller coaster in the sense of going crazy wild and

13:30jumping around and up and down and all unconsensually because of the bumps in the road

13:36and yeah so usually our photographer just like lies here and then he's like complains when he's been

13:43bumped around and we've all been like well you know you're going to be bumped around there he's like
