FunTranscript
00:00Hi this is Zach with Lobby Boxer. My name is Andrew also in Lobby Boxer. We're on tour with
00:14Foxy Shazam and the number 12 Looks Like You and the Hot Fix Sideshow. It's insane. We're
00:19incredibly happy to be here and this is our van. Hey and that's Knuckles Butt. Yeah we try to split
00:26up driving pretty evenly. It's just whoever's feeling really good that day
00:32will kind of take it and then we'll try and not let them like overextend
00:35themselves and try and pass it off when it feels like it makes sense. It's pretty
00:40even honestly. I think we really try and like all pull the same amount of weight
00:45if we can. So we'll have like a God shift and maybe someone will drive all the way
00:49across Texas. Halfway across Texas. But you know we're pretty we're pretty
00:54reasonable about sharing the duties. Yeah. We try to do co-captains as best we
00:58can. Like we thankfully haven't had any like super killer drives in a minute so
01:02we usually have someone awake up front. Yeah if we're doing night drives we kind
01:06of a rule of thumb that co-captain has to be awake just to keep eyes on the road
01:10and make sure pilots not getting sleepy and all that stuff. We've never had any
01:14issues but it's just a good rule of thumb for us. We're soft people we like to
01:18play it safe. Yeah. We did have the uh we did have a deer clip our back left light
01:25in the middle of the night a couple tours ago. I was driving up here saw it about
01:31in video terms like two frames before it happened and there's like there was like
01:36a streak on the back corner window. It didn't do anything. It was terrifying. Yeah the deer hit us.
01:40Like it was on the side of the van. Going like 60 70 miles an hour. Yeah I was I
01:46remember I was in the back of the van I just heard
01:47That was me. Yeah that was me for sure screeching.
01:56It just sounded like someone slapped the window when the deer nose
01:59Our tour with the fall of Troy last year kind of coincided with
02:04Knuckles getting a show. Our hotel that night the concierge.
02:09He was a god. He told us do you hear Knuckles is getting a show
02:12and it just we were fixated on telling people. He was like so nice to us like
02:18uh just like being very cordial and then he like
02:22divulged the knowledge about Knuckles show and it became like a huge thing for
02:26us that tour. I think it was Indiana Lafayette Indiana
02:29there was like mystery Sonic uh stress balls and we were pulling
02:33you know how you pull Pokemon baseball cards
02:36so the first one was Sonic second try we got the Knuckles
02:39so there are kind of like third and fourth co-captains on us right here at all times
02:44and then yeah later on uh in a different tour we got this Knuckles uh from like a
02:50it was like a package like grab pack another sort of similar thing like what are you gonna get
02:54and uh we're like maybe we'll get tails uh but happy with Knuckles he's he's really rocking it there.
03:00Yeah. Max has been really obsessed with Yu Yu Hakusho right now and will take any chance he can get to
03:05watch it so this is the Yu Yu Hakusho cam and uh.
03:09Well I saw like I was driving and I kind of peek in the rear view mirror he's like hanging off the roof
03:14and it's shaking and then he's adjusting it again and I'm like what is he doing back there like
03:18trying to find the perfect place to clip his phone to watch stuff.
03:20Yeah we got this phone holder uh during like right before the Fall of Troy tour
03:25we I we we got the van detailed on the inside it's all like nice and clean
03:29but they like apply this stuff where you can't like stuff doesn't stick to it
03:33so we tried to get the suction cup one and it fell we tried to get the window one and it fell
03:36and the the cup holder one turned out to be like the most reliable solid van phone holder
03:43and it's like not in your field of vision while you're driving so I guess that's a bonus um yeah
03:47I just hate how it's my one complaint is the like time left is right there so I'm driving five hours
03:55left driving 450 I wish I could just like get the directions and not be thinking about the time
04:00that's my only only complaint yeah because I guess if you lock your phone it still shows up
04:05like yeah yeah so uh Apple Maps Google Maps if you're listening you know uh your customers
04:13really appreciate it if I don't want to perceive time look it's it's a simple toggle option like
04:19it's just we just like options yeah we need those for entertainment while we're driving it's a lot of
04:25music um it's a lot of music we really like and a lot of music that we don't like that we like to
04:30listen to for pleasure in making fun of it uh which I won't say what that is while we're I mean
04:35maybe we're gonna divulge a few things but I wouldn't even say it's don't like there's just
04:39music that is like like silly music that no one would like actually appreciate but we found like
04:44the little things about it that are actually kind of good and we became obsessed with it so like yeah
04:48there's like stuff like that in terms of music that we like me personally I'm a big hair metal guy so
04:54I have a playlist of all my favorite curated hair metal singles um and then I'm also a big like eight like
04:59prefab sprout this like uh new wave sophisticated pop band from the 80s their album langley park to
05:05mem from langley park to memphis is like my all-time favorite album it always gets played every tour
05:11um this tour I've been listening to a lot of seal human beings and I was listening to paul van dyke
05:16uh he has this album from the 2000s it's like a trance music progressive house music album that I've
05:22been really into that's me personally we're all very different we're all over the place I wouldn't say
05:26there's like a lot of podcasts I think the last few tours I still put on music but I've really
05:31enjoyed like some more silent driving at times you know like I don't know what it is about just having
05:36a more like relaxed state and sometimes maybe um here's a thing um jazz albums and dynamic music
05:45that's not compressed um we need the like compressed version for road trips when you're driving fast on
05:52the highway because I want to listen to this awesome jazz album and the engine is roaring and
05:58the wind is it's even something contemporary so I'm just riding the faders here and you know it's
06:02funny because there's speakers up here and there's speakers all the way in the back so you're like
06:06what sounds right and man I'm not really this is what I want to listen to but it sounds sounds kind
06:11of you know it's not ideal to listen to music in that way when it's very dynamic in a loud van
06:17we need the the van the van version with tooth yeah we need also we've been there could be a
06:23device a compressor yeah like get some like onboard gear here maybe there's like a rack mounted thing
06:29here and it just like compresses those old jazz records a limiter and maybe like a three band EQ
06:34so we could like I mean there's like the EQ in here but we only have bass and treble so you have to
06:39like either turn it up and turn down the bass and like boost treble a little bit or some weird vice
06:44versa thing we've gotten pretty good you kind of have to EQ on a song by song basis but I don't
06:50want to think I want to have my onboard jazz and dynamic music compressor right here and whoever
06:56can make that will buy one will be your flagship artist yeah DOD because you have the best enclosures
07:02hello welcome again welcome to Eugene Eugene land Eugene's bowels don't get blinded by the matching
07:15shoes too hard right now yeah I know mind the mind the J's mind the Tatum 3's we just happened to put
07:21on the same shoes when we walked out the door today and it was kind of embarrassing but we're just
07:26rolling with it okay so this row is kind of the social row yeah the social row so like you're gonna
07:37get a lot of the van like the the driver and co-pilot conversation you're in on the banter yeah in on the
07:44banter back row is kind of the island yeah it's where you go for more solitude so if you really need
07:50to zonk out that's where you go this is the spot you have prime like foot foot rest situation here
07:57always pillows cup holder right behind your head so you're like you can hit one of these just put it
08:04right back you know just normal stuff of course this is this is flexible uh today I wasn't feeling
08:11so good when I woke up so I got my pillow right here um I have a like an eye mask that's in my it's in
08:19my backpack that's inside I'm sorry I didn't prepare for that um you were rigged up and then
08:24and my blanket put a mask on let's see if get the wireless buds yeah oh here's my mask actually
08:36here we go yeah so mask on
08:38get the buds
08:42I'll see if I get a mask with my eyes closed stay safe this was when he was on on sick watch
08:50because he was he woke up and he was feeling a little scratchy and then he needed to take a
08:54a hospice nap here
08:55max two
08:59but he's feeling better now folks I am feeling better now folks
09:04buds in I can't see him
09:07I'm dead to the world
09:10it's a cool four hours
09:13yeah so I haven't actually drove yet on the run this is the what second day that we've been out
09:18um when I when I drive I tend to go for things with like a like kind of a steady beat like uh
09:26like world music um like Brazilian stuff like with the clave going that'll kind of keep me grounded
09:34and keep me from going off into la la land I'll listen to knee body there's this uh progressive
09:39jazz band
09:41um there's a guitar player from the netherlands I think named uh Tice Cime
09:47uh I don't know if I'm saying that right but he's a motherfucker I like this band
09:52knower also another like jazz fusion favorite
09:56um yeah just stuff that like kind of keeps me going and like just gives me a little
10:02I don't know
10:04like rhythmic stuff
10:06yeah
10:07uh for me usually when I'm driving like uh sometimes I'll be bad I'll throw in like one little
10:14pod and then I will sometimes listen to a podcast or like a video essay
10:18like my favorites are just like the rise and fall of the gamecube and like you know
10:23why Enron failed
10:25there's another one I'm like working my way through is like why did the blimpy franchise
10:28like the rise and fall of the blimpy sandwich franchise but like in the last like year or
10:33so I've gotten really back into like uh hardcore and slam and just like really loud stupid bullshit
10:39and I think on our last tour with uh fall of troy we were out for like 10 or 11 days
10:44and every shift I would listen to I would put on tortures enduring freedom
10:48um Chicago shout out
10:50um and it got to the point where we were just like listening to the album backwards
10:54because we were like I was like trying to superimpose tool lore onto this random slam band
11:01but um yeah so either noise or people talking about nothing is usually what I go for
11:08so and then the other thing about like we were saying this is kind of like the island
11:13this is where there's you know peace and solitude this is the en suite
11:15uh keep the drum rug here just because it stays clean that way it just kind of conveniently fits
11:21there's not really a reason that's just where it's been for years so we keep it there
11:25but yeah but back here is where we keep all of our luggage and stuff
11:28um usually when we're staying at a friend's house or like at a hotel
11:31uh and then this is a mattress pad that folds up that Zach got
11:35so we can in a if in a world where we have to sleep in the van we can just roll that out
11:39and we can like kind of lay down here uh and then two people on a bench
11:42you can just like scoot your feet under this bench
11:45so it's a nice like tight four person situation
11:48um and then yeah we just dump all this shit in the trailer for the night
11:52and then conk out
11:54yeah normally there's like snacks and stuff back here but like Jack said it's day two
11:59so we haven't accumulated that sort of stuff yet
12:02um but we will if you if you ever catch us at the end of a run this will be
12:06a graveyard of uh plastic bags
12:09once we go to Costco back here you'll give it five big booms
12:14i'm so sorry
12:16here comes our our pack marshal
12:19this thing
12:19it's a big box
12:22it's a five by eight
12:23um yeah i just
12:25i do the tetris because
12:28the thing we were talking about this so we've had a couple of u-hauls
12:31and if you if you've gotten them you know there's different types of doors
12:35and so there's these doors that like swing it's like barn doors where they open there's two of them
12:41there's also ones that pull down like a shutter like that
12:43we've had those before and those are awful because they get stuck and you have to like get your fingers up in there
12:49especially in the winter when it's like got snow and ice and shit
12:52it really gets jammed on the handle
12:53yeah because the handle because like these handles not just not to set anybody out
12:57but these handles if you don't latch it all the way over here and you like let it fall back down when the door goes up
13:03you're screwed it's staying up there until you like get all of the you know
13:09bullshit that's in there all over your hands it's the only way out of that situation
13:13and then it might hurt
13:15this is the fun part
13:16but yeah
13:17we love these doors
13:18these are our favorite doors
13:19yeah
13:20and we have like rolling carts now that we got that like extend and we can put all our stuff on
13:25so we don't have to like lug everything everywhere like one by one
13:28uh so we're saving a lot of time and energy that way but max is definitely our pack
13:33he institutes pack law
13:35yeah pack law it's you know it's a very stringent set of procedures and processes
13:39that uh shadow also this is shadow
13:43you know this pretty much encapsulates the energy of our band as a whole
13:47yeah we're working on a new album right now
13:49um we signed to kill iconic records uh founded by donovan malero of hail the sun
13:55um and we're about we're about to go on tour with the fall of troy
13:59uh if you well that might have already happened but we're doing it again
14:03uh
14:03pre
14:05uh and yeah we have a we have an album out that we put out uh this past year
14:12um and it was kind of the album that saved us as a band it's called head shoulders knuckles floor
14:17uh and it's just kind of uh where we uh were at at the time
14:21uh and we're very very happy to have put it out
14:25oh yeah
