00:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my van. This is Colonel Mickey. Colonel Mickey has been in the
00:16family of the T-Ward. When I say family of the T-Ward, I mean he's been a member of the T-Ward
00:20crew since 2011. Not very long, but he actually was born in 2007, so he's a used van. But it's cool
00:30because it has already almost 200,000 miles on it. We've taken it about three or four times
00:37throughout the country here. Come with me, I'll show you all about Colonel Mickey. So here we go.
00:43This is the front seat. This is where Brent, our merch guy, sits. As you can tell, he's got
00:47Wyoming cowboy boots. Those are Brent's shoes. He is from Wyoming, and if you want to get a picture
00:52of Brent online, go check him out. Brent Buckingham. He sits here, sleeps here, doesn't have a lot of
00:56legroom, but he does his job. He's spent about 20,000 miles on the road this tour, just sitting
01:01right here. If you come closer, you can see that we have this 140-watt power inverter, and it makes a
01:10lot of noise. You have to hit it with a pencil every morning, so that's exciting because if you don't
01:15go ahead with a pencil, it'll just chirp away like a cricket. It's really annoying.
01:20Anyways, a can of Pringles. I'm wearing an Intel jacket only because Intel sponsored this entire
01:27tour, so thanks Intel. And it's freezing out here in Chicago. Last show of the tour, so we'll be
01:34driving this home tonight, back to Denver, back into the snow world. Alright, so that's the front seat.
01:39Pretty basic, pretty easy. We each get a row here in Colonel Mickey. As you can see, this
01:47is where our bass player sleeps, Josh. He calls this the icebox. This is his row. We keep all
01:54of our, you know, perishables and we keep all of our delicious whatever underneath Josh's
02:01icebox. Okay, follow me in. This is Joel Burns. This is our drummer. We call him Father Joel,
02:07Parish, is what we call this seat. You can see he loves his Dr. Peppers. This is Dr. Pepper,
02:15I think. This is Joey Barbara, the guitar players. We call this the fresh veggie garden, I guess
02:22you would say, because he's a, he's a vegan. And he's always healthy. I bet we can find
02:26some fruits. A whole foods bag. Check it out. Wasn't even joking. Alright. And then, my seat
02:38is in the very back and I like the back because all the kids in school told me that the back
02:42of the bus is the coolest spot. So I took the back of the bus, but I want to show you something
02:46real quick back here. I took two couch cushions and pushed them together and so I don't actually
02:51sit here. They call this the suite because I lay and we'll go in the back and I'll show
02:55you through the back here. So as you can see right here, this is where I sleep and I sleep
02:59from here in my head to my feet over there and it's comfortable. It feels like literally
03:06I'm sitting at home on a couch just enjoying myself while we drive. So I've been sleeping pretty
03:12much consistently every single day in the suite. Alright, cool. So that's pretty much the whole
03:18van and I guess I could show you the most interesting thing about Colonel Mickey is no one stole our
03:33tire the entire tour. And it's just tied on by some bungee cords here. It's a new tire.
03:40Costs about $90 and I'm just glad no one took it. And then here's where we keep all the goods,
03:46y'all and all that used gear and Colonel Mickey. So there you have it. Tour of Colonel Mickey.
03:52Hope you guys enjoyed.
