00:00Yo, what the fuck is up DTB? We are out here. We are The Paradox. I'm Eric. I'm Celan. And we are

00:16going to be showing you guys our shitty ass van. So messy. Right now we are on tour with games we

00:21play. We just left Detroit, the land of Motown, and we are now in the land of Fallout. Boy,

00:26Chicago! So here usually we have our boy Ron who is our driver. He will sit up here

00:34and drive for hours on end. He runs off coffee and hopes and dreams baby. In this

00:39seat where Celan is we have our TM Annie who's usually doing some like super

00:44adult computer work type type type. That's all she does. Some shit we don't

00:48understand. We don't understand that shit. I don't even understand the shit we do.

00:51So when we want to like listen to some tunes we have a shared Spotify just jam

00:57session. Everybody picks a song to throw in there. We'll sometimes show original

01:01music. Annie makes amazing fart sample EDM. It is the best shit ever. No pun intended.

01:08So apparently I was sitting on RTM's Fox and probably... Beanie Baby! It smells like

01:14farts and shit. Sorry about that. We also here we have our Nintendo switch charger which

01:23keeps our switch running. Without it we don't run. I love beating these guys in

01:27Mario. And what we have here is what the internet likes to call us. Our industry

01:33plant. Courtesy of Annie. We've been taking care of this on tour. It has been our tour

01:38plant and it is still alive. Thriving. And surviving. Oh yeah. Alright so over here we

01:45have our bass man Rayman Donald the God. We also have PC3 over here chilling. He's not

01:53sweaty right now. Now you see him like this. He's dry. He's dry. We have my guitar which I got

01:59here on tour. It's a Fender Red Dog. I don't know how to say that name but I love

02:05this guitar. It's so little and it's portable and I write songs in this band.

02:09And mostly he writes songs about my penis. I love to write songs about his penis. So

02:14usually Donald will sit here. Sometimes I'll kick it up here with him. I tend to

02:19move around depending on where I want to go. I could sleep anywhere. PC will be laid

02:24out here. He's been using this chair as a footrest almost where Zeeland's sitting.

02:28I need the foot reality here man. Where you can see back here Zeeland has his bed made up with our tour

02:35honey pack over there. I'm probably going to use it tomorrow. You showed him the

02:40Oh on me baby on me. You showed him the industry plant? I did. I had to see it. I had to see it.

02:44It's thriving. Alright this is my little area right here. I got my switch for Mario

02:49Kart and all that. Got my little water bottle stuff over here and the greatest man.

02:54You got it. You got it. Keep the fiber in your gut. Stay healthy kids. Eat your greens. That's right.

02:59Most of the time I have a remote job. So I usually work with my laptop right here. He's a responsible

03:07adult. Yeah. I have my work laptop and I use a hot spa for my phone. So I'm always busy.

03:13But I do get to sleep a little bit. He does. Not as much as these fellas but. These two right here.

03:19They're the sleepers. I be knocked out. I be knocked out of here. I be what? Snoring.

03:26Slobbing a little bit. I wake up like this. This man needs 20 hours to sleep or something.

03:33Right here. Look. We got the jerking with jerks. We got passport over here. We need that.

03:43Keep that on me. And then a pillow man. That's all I need. That is a fucking blanket.

03:47That's my pillow. This is a pillow for me. Well who bought this? This is mine. This is mine bro. Oh shit.

03:53Yeah. You fucking up my area. You fucking up my area. He has a little. Don't fuck up his pillow man.

03:59I got hell of a shit on me. It's a little loop. Alright. Don't mind me. I'm going to just be over here. Sleep.

04:05Hide in water bottles too. Hide in water bottles. Maybe hand my little dad.

04:09Look at that. You know. 420 baby. The biggest problem would actually be the seatbelt. This fucking seatbelt right here.

04:17Yeah. That'll get it. Cause like you can't put it that way. You put it this way still on your side.

04:22So like the only way is I'll go this way with it. Boom. I'm facing this way seatbelt here.

04:28Feet up there. Kosher. He's planned it out.

04:33One of his most comfortable seatbelt.

04:35Yeah. Zeeland. I'll be in here. Evidently bro. He has a bed.

04:40Alright. This is where the magic happens.

04:43I was about to say that.

04:47Alright. If you come in here.

04:50Got my book bag right here.

04:52Usually I use my book bag as a support.

04:55To put it back here on this door.

04:58So my pillow can go right here.

05:00And I also put this in between to have support.

05:03Yeah. This is from Chick-fil-A from today.

05:06So I'm kind of mad about that.

05:08So you put that in between.

05:10Close that door.

05:11You have a good little support system right here.

05:14It's locked and loaded.

05:15This is my whole sleeping bag.

05:17I lay down.

05:18This is not really like the best place to sleep honestly.

05:22I could have got an air mattress.

05:25I should have listened to the driver.

05:27But I want to be hard headed.

05:29So now like through the rides.

05:31From every city to city.

05:32I'm like sleeping.

05:34I'm jumping.

05:35I'm jumping.

05:35And you know it's kind of hard to sleep at the same time.

05:38My head be bumping.

05:41Sometimes I'll sit down there.

05:42It's like a really comfortable place to like write songs.

05:45So if he's like not sleeping.

05:46I'll just chill down there.

05:47Like read a book.

05:48I'm reading Derek Wibley's memoir right now.

05:51I just met him at Warped Tour.

05:54Never fanboyed so much in my life.

05:55But he wrote Fat Lips.

05:56So what was I supposed to do?

05:58I am something of a hermit.

06:00A gypsy if you will.

06:01I don't stay in one spot.

06:03I like to move around.

06:04Just bounce wherever is just comfortable at the time.

06:07If I want to sleep.

06:08I'll sleep in the seat.

06:09If I want to just sit down and just like play guitar.

06:11I'll do that.

06:12Play my switch.

06:13Just like whatever I can.

06:14Whatever is happening.

06:15I'm there.

06:17Running off coffee and hopes and dreams baby.

06:20So this was.

06:21Yeah.

06:21This was a gift that this lovely man gave to me.

06:25Just for zeal.

06:25So this has pretty much been.

06:27Lucky Charm thing.

06:29That I just keep around.

06:30But I'm going to consume this tomorrow.

06:31Because my girlfriend is coming to the Denver show.

06:35I'm going to be like Steve Austin.

06:36Mixed with The Rock and.

06:38Yeah.

06:39John Cena.

06:39It's going to be crazy.

06:40No.

06:40More like John Cena's.

06:45Hell yeah.

06:46Oh yeah.

06:46I bought this I think the first week.

06:49And I have not even.

06:51Attempted to drink it yet.

06:52And that's why he almost passed out of heat exhaustion in Cleveland.

06:55It was very hot.

06:58But I've been sticking to like water bottles and stuff.

07:00Like I should have bought that big thing.

07:02Shit.

07:02I'll drink it if you will.

07:03So we did straighten up a little bit here.

07:07Because we had a lot of food trash.

07:08We've been running very much on Starbucks.

07:12Dunkin'.

07:12Whatever coffee we can find.

07:14We try to find like niche coffee spots in new places.

07:17Try some place like we haven't.

07:18But yeah.

07:20Anything.

07:21Any coffee and anything we could just grub on.

07:24That is just quick.

07:25So we can just get to the next spot.

07:27Anything to give us some fuel.

07:29Barbecue sauce.

07:31It's spilled everywhere.

07:32All over the sea.

07:33That is my fault.

07:34I apologize.

07:35How about the ice cream?

07:36Wasn't there ice cream that spilled?

07:37The ice cream?

07:38Before we hopped out the game.

07:39I don't think so.

07:41Maybe.

07:41It wasn't mine.

07:42Yeah.

07:43I'm a huge ice cream guy.

07:45I'm known to spill some cream.

07:46You'll see a lot of white stains.

07:47Not all of them are from ice cream.

07:49Me and him like to cuddle up in this back part sometime.

07:52Let's just say that honey pack's not being used on his girlfriends.

07:55So we have our trailer here which houses everything that lets us do our job.

08:01All of our instruments, drums, everything's in there.

08:04So we'll pull up.

08:05We don't have roadies for this tour.

08:07So we're doing everything ourselves.

08:08Our tour manager Annie has been amazing.

08:10And she has given us the most amazing schedule.

08:15And we will literally come.

08:18We are efficient.

08:18We get all of our stuff out, load it in.

08:21And when we are done with the show, we take our stuff off the stage, pack it in our cases,

08:25and it is in there.

08:27And Annie was the one who organized it.

08:29But it is our job to bring it out there.

08:31No, I cut the show.

08:32He's bullshitting.

08:34What's really in this trailer is a whole bunch of fucking baby oil.

08:37We love to get oiled up.

08:39Don't believe all that.

08:40It's all facade.

08:41Okay, okay, okay.

08:42You guys didn't want them to know that.

08:45Yeah, the cat's out the bag.

08:46So we just released our song, Get the Message.

08:51You guys can stream that on Spotify, Apple Music, your toaster, whatever you listen to music on.

08:55We also are going to be playing Warped Tour in Long Beach on the 27th.

09:00We are super excited.

09:02So if you are going to come out there, please check out our set.

09:32People say otherwise about me.

09:34It's okay, dude.

09:35You need your fuel.

09:36You might hate to see it, but this is the makings of a varsity athlete right here.

09:40Peak male physical form.

09:45He felt nothing.
