00:00It's way better than just trying to do the baby wipes. We're all snackers. Obviously no number twos allowed
00:07That's good shit, man
00:30Well, hello there. Come on in. Welcome to the Word of Lives. We call it a little stub bus. We're in a Pullman coach on this tour and
00:52Here are my guys. This is a this Marcus our tour manager
00:58Logan Jose play guitar Kingsley tattoo artists our friend vibe hyper upper and
01:05This guy over here is Devin. He's getting tattooed and
01:10We are on the eyes above tour right now our headliner with TX2 and unwell
01:16And yeah, we're we're in a new Pullman coach. My friend Jeremy started this company and
01:22Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, which is where the band is now located
01:27So it was perfect for us doing a long set every night
01:31You know wanting to be able to make sure our band and crews getting to the shows not only safe but sleeping well
01:37We've had some pretty bad luck with RVs the last few tours
01:40So Jeremy stepped in and was like let's make sure you guys are good for your headliner. So here we are and
01:45and
01:47the this is so different from you know your typical bus or
01:52RV or bandwagon in that you come in and this whole wraparound front area normally
01:58We're not getting tattooed in it
02:00But it's it's nice because no matter which place you sit you get to watch movie or watch Logan play video games
02:07Which is pretty common?
02:09occurrence
02:11so I mostly am on my own playing Elden Ring or Sekiro games like that but
02:16Sometimes me and Devin throw down some NHL and I whoop them over and over again and
02:22Other times telly and Devin are screaming at each other playing Madden. So yeah, we have you know
02:28We like to have fun here. We like to get mad at each other
02:31We actually do need a rematch
02:33We do when you're when you're done. We need a rematch
02:38You won by one point
02:43The last second field goal as time expired no I actually had one second left and I was like go fuck yourself
02:49Here comes the comeback king
02:52I'm the comeback, comeback king
02:55Oh
02:56I mean Washington capitals all the way through I'm from outside DC and
03:03And this guy over here is always Detroit. Yes, yes doesn't doesn't help out his bad playing you know what I mean
03:10Okay, all right
03:12I'm from Detroit Michigan so I've always got a rep Detroit teams and I feel like golf is one of the best
03:19quarterbacks
03:20there is in the NFL
03:22so
03:23Yeah
03:25And I I normally play with Cowboys, but I'm boycotting my own team because Jerry Jones is
03:32Such a terrible owner and he has brought me nothing but pain and grief for the last like 30 years straight
03:39We're ruining this franchise
03:41So I'm boycotting
03:44Pullman's got all these sick cubbies around and pretty much everybody has claimed one
03:48I claim Dumero uno
03:49Let me show you what I got
03:51Got some shoes
03:53Some magic cards
03:55Protein powder
03:57Oats
03:59Snacks
03:59My snack box up here and the essentials
04:03Some gum
04:05This is my backup toothbrush for when I inevitably lose my main toothbrush which I did yesterday
04:11It's called revolution
04:13Yeah, this little guy came handy and saved the day always keep your shit fresh everybody
04:18And I don't know whose stuff is in here
04:21Oh, wait
04:23Oh, not all of us keep our areas as tidy as everybody else
04:29That's just random shit
04:31Don't you worry about what's up in there
04:33My backpack
04:35Some raw cane sugar
04:37Well, yeah, that's the most random one
04:39Yeah
04:41This is where we keep some necessary supplies for the day
04:45We've got plates bowls
04:47Clorox wipes so we can keep it clean
04:49Honey for everyone
04:51Some oxygen
04:52We just went and played Colorado and that elevation is a killer
04:56So we tried to get in these like oxygen things
04:59This is a menthol one
04:59Maybe I'll hit it for you on on tape real quick
05:02That's good shit, man
05:10Yeah
05:12I'll notice how he's still going to have it in mine and he grabbed two things
05:16Yeah, Mr. Frontman with his two habits
05:20Oh, call him John Atuka
05:22Okay, it's very disorganized right now
05:24Um, because I just threw everything
05:26What is great that's in here
05:30I just got this vintage meatloaf shirt
05:34From what's the vintage store called in Des Moines
05:38We went to?
05:40Uh, Goldeneye
05:42Goldeneye
05:44Yeah, Meatloaf was a band that my dad would always play
05:46So I saw this and I was like
05:48I want to get something that reminds me of my dad
05:50So I came up on this shirt
05:52And yeah, this is very disorganized
05:54Oh, I will have some of these
05:56Okay
05:58This is, I'm glad I came again now
06:00So
06:02It's kind of slammed right now
06:04We got stuff for the show
06:06Acoustic, we're playing an acoustic song on this tour
06:08Me and Logan do a rendition of our song Slow Burn
06:10And so we keep the acoustics up there safe
06:16And just like random stuff that gets pulled out every single day
06:22So above my head I keep my hats because I'm bald
06:28And I love hats, I just got this one
06:30I'm not that much of a New York fan
06:32But I really like their merch
06:36Um, yeah, so I have a collection of hats
06:40And then some rice, some mac and cheese
06:42Yeah, so that's my tiny little cubby
06:44And we also keep the Xbox in there
06:46So it's a sacred, sacred cubby
06:50There's a few things, so it rotates
06:52It's either
06:54We have a shared schedule
06:56It is like a shared workspace
06:58Yeah
07:00Time shares
07:02It's either usually me, Jose
07:04Or a content person mac
07:06Editing, Jose does ads
07:08I do a lot of social stuff
07:10Then it'll rotate
07:12He's tour managing Marcus
07:14Doing all his stuff
07:16Taking care of us
07:18And then what takes up
07:20I'd say 30% of the chunk or more
07:22They're trying to increase their shares
07:24Is the magic squad
07:26Thank you very much for playing four person commander
07:28At this bad boy right here
07:30I got enough space to set my map yonder
07:32And put all my dice out
07:34You know what I mean?
07:36And you can get four bad boys
07:38Spread across this sucker here
07:40So I like that
07:42I mean I'm trying to get everybody into playing magic
07:44Just got Logan involved
07:46Marcus has played a game
07:48Jade, Mac, and Blake
07:50Who are all our content
07:52Front of house and guitar tags
07:54So I'm trying to get everybody
07:56Hooked on the drug
07:58Not telly
08:00He's too cool for it
08:02Listen, it's not that I'm too cool
08:04I like the photo, I like the pictures
08:06I just like to watch
08:08I like the pictures
08:10I don't like to read very much
08:12Exactly
08:14See I feel the same way about you guys playing NHL
08:16In the end
08:17Of course
08:18I'd be able to watch this
08:19Yeah
08:20I'm not a sports guy
08:21Yeah
08:22So
08:23That's
08:24Yeah
08:25There we go
08:26I think that that's really good
08:28Because we can fit so many people at one time
08:30You know
08:31So it's like other
08:32Everyone wanted to get involved
08:34We could
08:35Like we have ample space
08:36You know
08:37I'm able to like set up my printer
08:38I can do my computer
08:39Phone charging
08:40Like all that
08:41And someone else can still work over here
08:43Like I think the space is great
08:44Yeah dude
08:45Why is my girlfriend on your phone?
08:46This is your phone
08:47That's your phone
08:49Why do you have my girlfriend on your phone?
08:53Yeah
08:54I like when you put your printer out
08:55And my magic mat on top of that
08:57I put some dice out
08:58Yeah
08:59Yeah
09:00But it works
09:01It works
09:02Okay
09:03So
09:04This was a little bit
09:05I admit
09:06Disorganized
09:08Prior to your arrival
09:09Because
09:11We had
09:12Four bags
09:13Of
09:14Fita chips
09:17A couple bags
09:18Of these sweet
09:19Spicy chili
09:20So I just combined all those
09:22Because we will get multiple bags
09:24And everyone's eating them
09:26So I did clean up a little bit
09:28But
09:29Snack
09:30We're all snackers
09:31All of us
09:32We snack heavy
09:33So this is normally just covered in snacks
09:36We're devouring them throughout the day
09:38This is about as nice as it gets
09:40This is Jade's little mixer
09:42Jade's our front of house
09:43You know he's a resident magic player
09:46He also makes a very good whiskey sour
09:50And
09:51Margarita too
09:52Oh yeah and Margarita
09:53And so he'll
09:54Every once in a while he'll
09:55Make us a drink or two
09:57And then we have
09:58The good thing about this
09:59The good thing about this
10:00Obviously a microwave that's nice
10:02The best thing about this
10:04Versus almost
10:06Any bus
10:07Or bandwagon in particular
10:09Or RV
10:10This is a full size fridge
10:12And freezer
10:13Very nice
10:14Very big
10:15And I'll let Jose
10:16Show you what's in there
10:17Let me show you the pull out
10:19Look at this
10:21That is a deep dish pizza
10:23And a deep dish freezer
10:24A couple bottles in there
10:26You know what I mean
10:27Deep dish pizza
10:29I'm pretty sure this came from Dollar Tree
10:31This is probably Blake's
10:32He likes to buy these quick meals
10:34Because he works
10:35A lot
10:36And all day
10:37So
10:38Get a quick little snack
10:39Also
10:40I think Jade stocked this up
10:41On popsicles
10:42For the rest of the tour
10:43There's a lot in here
10:44So
10:45Want a sweet treat
10:46You just cut the top off
10:47And
10:48Get to sucking
10:49We got a big fridge on this rig too
10:53Which is very nice
10:54Got a bunch of condiments here
10:56Got some coconut water
10:57Which is
10:58Me and Telly
10:59We drink these everyday
11:00Um
11:01You know
11:02This is a Monster Zero Sugar
11:03This is for Logan
11:04But this is not the one he wanted
11:06I'll tell you that right now
11:07He's a Mangaloco man
11:08So
11:09If you ever want to get him a sweet treat
11:10Bring him a Mangaloco Monster
11:12He would love you forever
11:14Um
11:15Sriracha
11:16Got some nice stuff in there
11:17What's this?
11:18Water bottles
11:20To stay hydrated
11:21Protein shakes
11:22Skullbrew coffee
11:23I've been doing this thing on this tour
11:25That
11:26I don't know if anybody else
11:27Thinks is as funny as I do
11:28But
11:29I call it the Uncrustable Cam
11:30Where every night
11:31I'm walking out
11:32And getting an Uncrustable
11:33To a fan
11:34In the front row
11:35Whoever
11:36Asks for it the most
11:37Um
11:38Yeah
11:39I don't know
11:40It came to me in a dream
11:41It's a dream come true for them
11:44I'm sure
11:45Yeah
11:46Seems hungry
11:47Seems hungry
11:48Yeah
11:49Got some Corona in here
11:51I was uh
11:52A little uh
11:53Let's just say
11:54Inebriated after one show
11:55And decided at 2am
11:57I needed some Fritos
11:58Jalapeno cheddar cheese
11:59It's still pretty full
12:00But
12:01Let's see what that
12:02Has to say tonight
12:03So everyday
12:04Pretty much we get
12:05A catering rider
12:06Which is like
12:07Basic essentials we need
12:09Or would like
12:10For the show
12:11Which is like water
12:12If we want like
12:13Some beer
12:14Refreshments, coffee
12:15Energy drinks
12:16Just stuff that you go through
12:17On a normal day
12:18So a lot of what's in here
12:19Right now is that
12:20Like this cold brew
12:21We get everyday
12:22Um
12:23Jade in front of house
12:24He likes that stuff
12:25I'm convinced that this
12:26Cold brew coffee does
12:27Absolutely nothing
12:28I can drink like 3 cups
12:29And it feels like
12:30I'm just drinking water
12:31So
12:32Um
12:33We also have
12:34On this tour
12:35A new thing
12:36Is the Uncrustables
12:37It just keeps coming back
12:38Into my life
12:39Some Coronas
12:41Um
12:42We also have like
12:4318 things of promise
12:44In here
12:45Uh
12:46That has not even been opened yet
12:47That's on the rider everyday
12:49Some lunch meat
12:50And
12:51Protein shakes
12:52I think that's mostly it
12:53Chips and salsa
12:54Yeah
12:55Alright
12:56So now I'm going to show you
12:57The sleeping arrangements
12:58So this is my bunk
12:59Right here
13:00I keep uh
13:01I keep Venom in here with me
13:02This is my son's stuffy
13:03I take on the road with me
13:04See
13:05We have like
13:06The lighter sleepers sleep up here
13:07So I don't really mind
13:08Anybody
13:09Being loud at night
13:10I can kinda sleep through anything
13:11So it doesn't really bother me
13:12And then
13:13For people that have
13:14A little bit more trouble with that
13:15We have 6 more bunks back here
13:17Um
13:18This is where we keep type 1
13:21What's up?
13:23Yeah
13:24I mean
13:25I don't even know where anybody sleeps
13:27I don't even spend much time back here
13:29But
13:30This is uh
13:31This is where we sleep
13:32I don't even know why you guys choose
13:33The bunks that they do
13:34I prefer the middle bunk
13:36Because
13:37I can't get all the way down there
13:38My legs are way too long
13:39But
13:40Yeah
13:41This is we got
13:42Telly
13:43And Marcus down here
13:44We have
13:45Devin
13:46And Jose
13:47And then
13:48Type 1
13:49And
13:50Jade are up here
13:51Um
13:52I think these are probably the worst bunks to get into
13:54So
13:55This is probably like last choice for everybody to be honest
13:57Welcome
13:58Welcome
13:59Welcome to the banyo
14:00Check out this here too
14:02This is very important
14:04Um
14:05Yeah
14:06This is the bathroom
14:07It's pretty sick
14:08It's like a full bathroom
14:10So we have a shower
14:11Sink
14:12Area
14:13Bathroom
14:14Here
14:15Obviously no number 2's allowed
14:16Cut the shit
14:18Um
14:19There's some cool
14:20Cabinets
14:21We can like
14:22Put stuff in
14:23Store stuff
14:24Um
14:25There's storage underneath here
14:26As well like cleaning supplies
14:28Or
14:29Dry shampoo
14:30Or anything like that
14:31You might need throughout the tour
14:32This has actually got the nicest shower
14:34I think I've ever used on any
14:36Uh
14:37Tour vehicle
14:38It's got multiple
14:39It's got multiple heads
14:40I've only used the top one
14:41But the hot water is crazy
14:43Um
14:44You know
14:45Just like any bus
14:46Like the tank is only so big
14:47Cause you have to take very very short showers
14:49But
14:50I don't know
14:51It's way better than just trying to do the baby wipes
14:52Or like
14:53A jug of
14:54Unfiltered water
14:56Or something like that
14:57So
14:58Yeah
