00:00The loser edition.

00:02We got a dripped out labubu.

00:04Oh my god, yes.

00:05You do a really good job of locking your stuff up.

00:30Yo, what's up?

00:35It's Luke.

00:36And Brad.

00:37And we're from Calling All Captains.

00:39And we're on the Forever Came Calling All Captains tour.

00:43We're in...

00:44It's a great tour name, really.

00:45It is.

00:46Unparalleled tour name.

00:47Yeah, and we're doing two nights in Chicago.

00:49We're going to show you our van.

00:50This is the tour rig.

00:52In all its glory.

00:54The loser edition.

00:56That's custom.

00:58That's custom.

00:59That came like that.

01:01So, this is the front seat.

01:03It's not normally Brad up here with me.

01:05It's usually me and Connor.

01:07Luke and Connor do most of the driving.

01:09And Connor starts in the morning.

01:11And I get us to the city.

01:13And I drive at the end of the night.

01:15You know, when everybody else is tired.

01:17I'm usually wired, wide awake.

01:19So, I'm the one who kicks it.

01:21And...

01:22If you are co-captain, you are basically in charge of music.

01:26You're in charge of...

01:27Directions.

01:28Directions first.

01:29Directions.

01:30Yeah, directions first.

01:31And...

01:32Let's say I need a water.

01:34It's like...

01:35They'll pass it...

01:36Supplies.

01:37Yeah, supplies.

01:38They're the ones who are going to open it.

01:39So, you're not like...

01:40Trying to open shit on the road, you know?

01:42Um...

01:43The AC is dead right now in the van.

01:45So, water supply and misting is very important.

01:49It's true.

01:50It's true.

01:51It's true.

01:52Well, okay.

01:53Corner Drives.

01:54It's usually classic rock.

01:55The Beatles.

01:56Zeppelin.

01:57Yeah, Zeppelin.

01:58Lots of people listening to Zeppelin today.

01:59CCR.

02:02And...

02:03Sometimes we'll listen to podcasts.

02:04Sometimes.

02:05Podcasts are like...

02:06For the ride home.

02:07Yeah.

02:08When we're done and there's no more shows.

02:09And it's just like...

02:1020 hours drive home.

02:11I was on a podcast recently too.

02:13That's right.

02:14Yeah.

02:15Shout out Not My Weekend.

02:16You can go check me out over there.

02:17Yup.

02:18Um...

02:19And then...

02:20What do we listen to when you're driving?

02:21Oh, when I'm driving, we listen to solely what I want to listen to.

02:23Nobody else gets a choice.

02:24That's true.

02:25We're listening to like...

02:26Juice WRLD.

02:27Shout out Chicago.

02:28Um...

02:29Oliver Francis.

02:32What was I doing the other day?

02:33Fit for a King.

02:34Knock Loose.

02:35Knock Loose.

02:38Lots of heavy stuff.

02:39It's usually rap or like metal.

02:40Heavy...

02:41Yeah.

02:42Like hardcore stuff.

02:43First and foremost, La Boo Boo.

02:46We gotta drift out La Boo Boo.

02:48You know.

02:49Gotta keep that freshness.

02:50I have no idea what that is.

02:52Don't worry about it.

02:53This is...

02:54Some handmade...

02:56Um...

02:57Indigenous art.

02:59We have going on here.

03:00I'm Indigenous, if you did not know.

03:02We have a Dreamcatcher over here as well.

03:04This is my Métis sash.

03:08That's a whole thing.

03:09You can check that out.

03:10We got Pokemon.

03:11We got the original three.

03:13You know.

03:14The essentials.

03:15The essentials.

03:16The essentials only.

03:17We got a sleeping Pikachu over here.

03:19Uh...

03:20We got a Tek Tek just in case you had a really long light.

03:22You gotta wanna hit a trick or two.

03:23You know.

03:24Just...

03:25Yeah.

03:26Just keep it fresh.

03:27We got an emergency puffer.

03:29You never know.

03:30You just never know.

03:32We got a JBL speaker in case this thing, like, dies, which it has.

03:38This is super important on tour.

03:40Hand sanny.

03:41Yeah.

03:42At the end of every night, we all hand sanny.

03:44We count our money and...

03:46Money is very dirty.

03:47Make sure the float is right.

03:49So...

03:50Yeah.

03:51To stay healthy on tour and make sure we don't get sick, we have to hand sanny lots.

03:54And no hate to all the fans, but we'd be dapping up and hugging up on, like, everybody

03:58who supports us.

03:59So, we gotta make sure that we're staying really vigilant and maybe somebody doesn't even

04:03know they're sick.

04:04Yes.

04:05It's really easy to get sick on tour.

04:06Very easy.

04:07Yeah.

04:08So, uh, behind the original three, we have, like, a health basket.

04:14We got some throat coat teas.

04:16Throat coat.

04:17Very important.

04:18Neocitrine.

04:19This is, like, good for vibes.

04:20You know, you can just, like, spray that.

04:23Let's put some down there, too.

04:25This is, uh, stress relief essential oil mist.

04:29And we got masks in case you get very sick and you don't want to be coughing on anybody.

04:36Oh, we got another style.

04:38Oh, wait.

04:39Vitamin C's.

04:40Yeah, vitamin C.

04:41Very important.

04:46Can't elaborate.

04:47They just got the Chrome Dino.

04:49Very important.

04:50Uh, pass me all the bracelets.

04:53Bracelets.

04:54Fantastic bracelets that the people have made.

04:56Some fan gifts.

04:57This as well is a fan gift.

04:59For pics.

05:00For pics, yeah.

05:01Shout out Buc-ee's.

05:02Get the Buc-ee's sours.

05:03We love Buc-ee's.

05:04Big fan of Buc-ee's.

05:05We don't have that in Canada, so.

05:06Yeah.

05:07You'll see tons of Buc-ee's stuff in this van.

05:08Even, uh, right here.

05:09It's about 50% Buc-ee's.

05:10Right there.

05:11I got Buc-ee's earrings.

05:12You know.

05:16We got a Buc-ee's umbrella right here.

05:18We got a change.

05:19We got a change thing right here.

05:20And it's full of Canadian money.

05:23It's supposed to be for tolls, but our money is no good here.

05:26Yeah.

05:27What can you do?

05:28Just a noise maker.

05:29What are you gonna do, man?

05:30Driving Crocs.

05:31This is a new development.

05:33Driving Crocs.

05:34Yeah.

05:35Yes.

05:36We're gonna track that out.

05:37Oh, uh, these can go back up there.

05:39Those are- oh, you gotta check that out.

05:41Remove the bag.

05:42Remove the bag.

05:43There's hacky sacks in there.

05:44We play lots of hacky sack.

05:45Ah, yes.

05:46When we have time before the shows and the weather permits,

05:49we like to play hacky sack.

05:51Yeah, and we have a fun game called death where you get to throw it at your friends.

05:54So, that's always fun.

05:55Yes.

05:56Only the real ones know death.

05:58That was actually super hard.

06:00That was a hard line out of nowhere.

06:02That was.

06:03That was.

06:04Yeah.

06:05Oh, yeah.

06:06Check this out.

06:07Buc-ee's band-aids in case you get hurt.

06:10In case you get hurt.

06:11And we got a sticker on the side.

06:13Brisket for the brisket.

06:14Brisket for the brisket.

06:15Fresh brisket on the board.

06:17You know what's up.

06:18Yeah, we love Buc-ee's.

06:19You know what's up.

06:20A little too much.

06:21Yeah.

06:22This is all of my clothes in the middle, unfortunately.

06:25Yeah.

06:26Oh, a Squirtle.

06:28Hello, Squirtle.

06:29This is good for when you want to like nap on the road.

06:32Obviously not in that seat.

06:33Obviously not the driver.

06:34Not in that seat.

06:35Obviously not the driver.

06:36But when you're over there, you can just, you know, it's good.

06:39Connor's bag, which, you know what?

06:42Check this out.

06:43He doesn't have it attached right now.

06:44But this is super useful.

06:46This is like a, uh, it's attached to the van.

06:49It's a theft prevention mechanism.

06:51Yeah.

06:52So you can tie this onto the bag.

06:54So if somebody, if the door's unlocked or somebody wants to smash a window and grab something

06:58quick, they'll have some trouble.

06:59There's no way that's, they can't take it because, you know, like.

07:02Unless they want that bag.

07:03Yeah.

07:04That one's totally loose.

07:05Get it.

07:06Yeah.

07:07I don't have one of those.

07:08But Connor's bag will be safe.

07:09And that's where important stuff lays.

07:10Yeah.

07:11Yeah.

07:12This is my bag of random crap.

07:15Next.

07:16Yeah.

07:17Oh, my towel.

07:18Ugh.

07:19It's hot.

07:20It's so hot.

07:21The touchiest little.

07:22Oh, yeah.

07:23We have the most sensitive horn.

07:25It's crazy.

07:26In the entire world.

07:27Oh, yeah.

07:28I got, I just got this the other day.

07:30Sheets.

07:31Real tree camo.

07:32Crazy.

07:33What else we got here.

07:34Oh, my God.

07:35Some deodorant.

07:36Because it's hot as hell down here right now.

07:37Second deodorant.

07:38Super important.

07:39Yeah.

07:40Oh, no.

07:41Second deodorant, yeah.

07:42Yeah.

07:43What else we got in here?

07:44Oh, look at this.

07:45I didn't even realize.

07:46Look at the Bucky's cup.

07:47This is where he holds our extra Sharpies.

07:48Yeah.

07:49Speaking of which, we should probably take some.

07:50Yep.

07:51Need those for tonight.

07:52Yep.

07:53Oh, and this is a wonderful picture.

07:54Of Maddie and Connor.

07:55Yeah.

07:56Some tour memories.

07:57Keep it.

07:58Yeah.

07:59Just, uh.

08:00I know that lots of people think that our front is hectic.

08:02And, uh.

08:03That may be true.

08:04But, uh.

08:05I love it.

08:06But they are correct.

08:07They are correct.

08:08And we have some, like, Kleenex over here, too, just in case you need to blow your nose

08:09while you're driving.

08:10We've had police and EMTs warn us before that they're not going to be in the same place.

08:11Yeah.

08:12Oh, and this is a wonderful picture of Maddie and Connor.

08:13Yeah.

08:14Some tour memories.

08:15Keep it.

08:16Yeah.

08:17Just, uh.

08:18I know that lots of people think that our front is hectic.

08:19And, uh.

08:20That may be true.

08:21But, uh.

08:22I love it.

08:23But they are correct.

08:24They are correct.

08:25And we have some, like, Kleenex over here, too, just in case you need to blow your

08:27We've had, uh.

08:28We've had police and EMTs warn us before that having all of this stuff on the dash is deadly.

08:34And we should not do it.

08:36But.

08:37But he stays in the back.

08:38Here we are.

08:39Yeah, but he.

08:40We live on the edge.

08:41Yeah.

08:42To be honest, this is all crazy up here.

08:43We even, like.

08:44Even up here, we got, like, license insurance.

08:46Or, not license.

08:47We keep those on us.

08:48But insurance, registration.

08:50We really try to keep vigilant with our receipt keeping and bookkeeping.

08:55So, all of our receipts throughout the day go into our little receipt folder here.

08:59We write on what day it is.

09:01What it was for.

09:02What currency.

09:03Because we're.

09:04We operate in two different currencies.

09:05Being a Canadian band.

09:07So.

09:08Oh.

09:09Just gotta make sure to keep everything correct.

09:11We've got more art up here.

09:13This is a camera.

09:14For the front.

09:16And the drivers.

09:18Just for insurance purposes.

09:20We've got the Garmin over here for directions.

09:22Yep.

09:23And this is a.

09:24Google Maps is great.

09:25It's dope.

09:26Sure.

09:27We use that also at the same time.

09:28Sometimes we have, like, three going.

09:30But this is really, really handy.

09:32Because it.

09:33Keeps it logged.

09:35And.

09:36On the highway.

09:37It'll let you know.

09:38If you have a gas station coming or not.

09:40It'll let you know the next towns.

09:42Like what.

09:43So you can just.

09:44It's yeah.

09:45What's coming up.

09:46Instead of just saying, like, you'll get there in three and a half hours.

09:47It kind of shows you what's along the journey.

09:50So that's really useful.

09:51That's a.

09:52Shout out Garmin.

09:53They didn't pay us.

09:54But where she goes.

09:55Oh yeah.

09:56Check this out.

09:57Hey Garmin.

09:58Find.

09:59Edmonton.

10:00Alberta.

10:07Sometimes she don't want to listen.

10:09Hey Garmin.

10:10Find.

10:11Edmonton.

10:12Alberta.

10:13Let's see how far away we are from home.

10:20Would you like.

10:21Oh my gosh.

10:22One.

10:23One.

10:24Going to Edmonton.

10:25Alberta.

10:27That.

10:28We are 2,300 kilometers away.

10:32Because we have such limited space.

10:34Everything is compartmentalized in the van.

10:36There's a space for everything.

10:38Down here we have extra straws.

10:40Forks.

10:41Napkins.

10:42Garbage bags.

10:43Garbage bags.

10:44And.

10:45Sunburn lotion.

10:46Yeah.

10:47Connor.

10:48Connor is extra white.

10:49And driving on this side.

10:50He sunburnt his arm on the left side of his body.

10:52Whole thing.

10:53So.

10:54We also got fabric spray.

10:55Febreze sometimes doesn't do it.

10:57If the fabrics are stinky.

10:58You need fabric spray Febreze.

11:01Regular Febreze is not enough.

11:02Pro tip.

11:03Truth.

11:04Cool.

11:05Alright.

11:06Shoes off.

11:07We're Canadians.

11:08Yeah.

11:09First things first.

11:10We are Canadian.

11:11No shoes in the van.

11:12This is where we basically live.

11:14You wouldn't wear your shoes inside your house would you?

11:17I think they do that in America.

11:19Sometimes.

11:20Yeah.

11:21Oh yeah.

11:22Bucky's umbrella.

11:23It's crazy.

11:24We love it.

11:25Bucky's hat.

11:26So yeah.

11:27Oh.

11:28This is a kind of a crazy operation.

11:30We got more dream catchers up here.

11:32But here's one of the coolest things.

11:34Turn on the vibe lights.

11:35Yes.

11:36We got some vibe lights for the night.

11:37Yes.

11:38Look at this.

11:39A section of them unfortunately passed away.

11:42Yeah.

11:43They didn't make the tour.

11:44Yeah.

11:45But the back ones work.

11:46It's about three quarter vibes now.

11:48Yeah.

11:49We have food and snacks up here.

11:53Lots of these are gifts from fans.

11:55Fans love to bring us little snacks and water and stuff like that.

11:59Which we greatly appreciate and need on the tour.

12:02One of the best gifts we got were eye masks.

12:05I didn't realize like it's so bright during the day it's hard to nap.

12:10So when you throw one of these on it's really good.

12:12Yep.

12:13We have a cooler over here for water.

12:15Yes.

12:16Oh what?

12:17Fruits and veggies.

12:18Oh and my favorite southern soda.

12:20Cheer wine.

12:22Yeah baby.

12:27Wow.

12:28America.

12:29Um.

12:30Oh.

12:31This is where Tim hangs his sweaty shirts.

12:34After a show.

12:35Shout out Gutter King.

12:37Boys.

12:38And also where he keeps his pants.

12:40This is the latest setup of the van.

12:42We took out the bench here directly behind the driver's seat.

12:45And put in a little foamy.

12:47So this gives us some.

12:48Check it out.

12:49Just to make sure that it's all the same too.

12:51We put in an underlying wood.

12:54Grab that.

12:56Yeah.

12:57Take that.

12:58Yeah.

12:59During the day when we're traveling.

13:02Tim can sleep down here.

13:03I sleep on this bench.

13:05Matt sleeps back there.

13:06Mattie.

13:07Photographer sleeps in the back one.

13:09And.

13:10Luke will sleep up here sometimes.

13:11Yeah.

13:12Yeah.

13:13I'll sleep up there sometimes if it.

13:14If it feels right.

13:15And Connor's an absolute machine and never sleeps.

13:17He just drives non-stop.

13:18It's true.

13:19It's true.

13:20Connor does the morning drives.

13:21He's a.

13:22Absolute legend.

13:23Yes.

13:24And we've also went grocery shopping recently.

13:26So.

13:27These are.

13:28Part.

13:29Our groceries.

13:30And part gifts from fans.

13:31Some of us are starting to get sick.

13:33So we've got some cold medication here.

13:35Um.

13:36The funniest thing I've seen someone bring Tim.

13:38Was bananas.

13:41Tim loves bananas.

13:42Swears by them.

13:43Has a banana before every show to help with cramps.

13:45So.

13:46We always have bananas.

13:47You've never seen monkeys get cramps.

13:49None do you?

13:50That's a good point.

13:51It's true.

13:52Um.

13:53This we love getting.

13:54Quest bars and builder bars.

13:55Any sort of protein bar.

13:57Um.

13:58Lots of times after the show we're really hungry.

14:00And it's like 2am.

14:01And nothing is open.

14:03And all we have is protein bars.

14:05So.

14:06Those help connect us in between meals.

14:08I'm an absolutely unhealthy person.

14:11So.

14:12If.

14:13Anybody.

14:14Finds.

14:15Shin Raymun.

14:16By Dongshim.

14:17Yo.

14:20This is the best.

14:21I'm gonna.

14:22I have plans with this later.

14:23To be honest.

14:24I'm surprised they're still there.

14:26Yeah.

14:27What else we got in here?

14:31Some chips.

14:32Some goldfish.

14:34Goldfish.

14:35This was actually a gift from a fan.

14:36We love these too.

14:38We've been snacking on these nonstop.

14:39This isn't the same one.

14:41We actually love them so much.

14:42We went and bought them again.

14:43Yeah.

14:44So.

14:45Once again.

14:46What else do we got?

14:47Oh yeah.

14:48USA.

14:49We got these as a souvenir.

14:53Some pretzels.

14:55The one thing that we've been really messing with lately.

14:57Is trail mix.

14:58Trail mix is like.

15:00Honestly such an underrated snack.

15:03Yeah.

15:04Like this one is my favorite kind too.

15:06I don't think they have this.

15:07This is a Canadian one.

15:08Look it.

15:09Everything also has French in it.

15:11Look.

15:12This is another thing that's super important on the tour.

15:16Liquid IVs.

15:17We sweat a lot.

15:19And it's way hotter down here than it is in Canada.

15:22So.

15:23We sweat during the show.

15:24We sweat in the van without the AC.

15:25Liquid IVs help keep us hydrated.

15:27We have one of these each a day.

15:29One of these each a day.

15:30So these go really fast.

15:32And we always run out of them.

15:33So.

15:34That one's super important for the tour.

15:36Alright.

15:37So this is my bench right here.

15:38So.

15:39This is my bag.

15:40And my jacket.

15:42Pillow and hat.

15:43I'll go right there.

15:44And that's my mister.

15:45Oh.

15:46Yeah.

15:47Look it.

15:48This is a life saver.

15:49Oh my god.

15:50Yes.

15:51Woo.

15:52I forgot about this back here.

15:53But we also have a very special friend.

15:54Our friend Cleveland.

15:55The steamer.

15:56In case our clothes get like super wrinkly we can just like steam them up before it show.

16:14Make sure it stays fresh.

16:16Maddie has a nice amount of space back here.

16:19So that's where Cleveland stays.

16:20Yeah.

16:21Okay.

16:22Let's check out the back.

16:27In the back we have our full size suitcases with all of our clothing.

16:34Extra blankets, pillows.

16:37Skateboard in there.

16:39Yeah.

16:40We got the wheel lock.

16:43This is important.

16:44Yeah.

16:45Bands if you're watching this.

16:46You may do a really good job of locking your stuff up.

16:49We have a steering wheel lock.

16:50Yes.

16:51We have wheel chocks.

16:52We have a wheel lock itself.

16:54We have like, we do everything we can to make sure that nothing can happen to this beast.

17:00If something happened to this I really don't know what would happen to us.

17:03Yeah.

17:04True.

17:05Yeah.

17:06Also, yeah.

17:07This is an extra cot.

17:10This is for Maddie.

17:11Lots of times when we get to hotels there's only enough sleeping space for four people so

17:15one person has to take the cot.

17:18This is a tiny little music studio that I take everywhere with me.

17:28Everything you need to record is all here.

17:31Just pull up to the venue, bring out your computer, bring out this and you can record a new demo whenever.

17:37Some more Bucky swag.

17:39What do you know?

17:40Yeah.

17:41This is a puck lock and so we put a Bucky sticker and now it's a buck lock.

17:46We got two of them as well.

17:48Of course.

17:49Yeah.

17:50Yeah.

17:51So this is the beautiful trailer.

17:53The boys are loading into the venue right now.

17:57I suppose I should help.

18:00They need the merch eventually.

18:03Okay, so Connor, he is absolutely a wizard at this.

18:08Me and him used to work in furniture so we had to load 53 foot trailers every day, all day,

18:14full of furniture, packed to the brim.

18:17And now he's used that knowledge so we can pack as much as we can into here.

18:22So when Forever Came Calling was having van troubles, we took...

18:25Say hi to the boys.

18:26Yeah, say hi to the boys.

18:27What's up?

18:28Yeah.

18:29He took all of their gear, all of Forever Came's Calling's gear so that they can get a new van

18:34and not have a bunch of gear in the van, right, to move it and stuff like that.

18:38So we took their gear plus our gear in the trailer and he somehow made it all work.

18:43So he's definitely the Tetris man.

18:45And then Tim's underwear is there on the side if you want to get that.

18:48There you go.

18:49Yeah.

18:50All of Tim's clothes.

18:51I got a blue pair.

18:52I got a green pair.

18:53All of his clothes are just everywhere.

18:56Mike, my jackets are in the back.

18:58I didn't get to wear many jackets this time around because it's so effing hot.

19:02But that's okay.

19:04So that was our bus.

19:07This was to a digital tour bus.
