FunTranscript
00:00It smells like lemon pepper seasoning in here, I'm not gonna lie.
00:03Yeah, which is pretty cool.
00:04This is how I watch Love Island hands-free.
00:07Can I smell your dick?
00:08Yes.
00:11That's a great song.
00:30Hi, my name's Regan.
00:41I play drums in Leisure Hour and we're currently on a full US co-headlining tour with our friends
00:48in Arcadia Grey.
00:49And this is our friend, our van, Shontavia Laqueve Jones.
00:54Yeah, so she's got a lot of bugs on her.
00:57We've been literally all over the country from California to New York and back.
01:05And now we're back in the Midwest.
01:06And you guys know it's that time of the year for the bugs to come out.
01:10So I don't even know if she can fit through a car wash.
01:13We've never put her through a car wash.
01:15Only thing, I've washed her with a dirty t-shirt and some car wash solution I got,
01:23which still might be in the van.
01:24I don't know, that was like a year ago.
01:26So I think the bugs really add character.
01:29It shows that, you know, sometimes in life things got to get a little dirty.
01:33You got to keep pressing on.
01:35So yeah, welcome to the inside of Shontavia Laqueve Jones.
01:40I usually do a lot of the driving.
01:44Isaiah here will help too.
01:46We kind of go a little bit back and forth when I want to drink really.
01:50It's when I don't drive.
01:51It's when I want to get fucked up.
01:53So, you know, that's our sober DD driver right here.
01:57We also have a bunch of stickers.
02:00I started a sticker collection of all the fans and just people we've met along the way.
02:07Yeah, we've got a bunch of stickers.
02:09It's her tattoos, we call them.
02:10Yeah, it's our tattoos.
02:12I really, really fuck with it because it's just a nice reminder of memories we've made along the way,
02:18playing a bunch of shows with a bunch of cool people.
02:21I like this palm fret one.
02:22It's funny.
02:23My son plays guitar in palm fret and I am so proud of him.
02:26That's funny.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Our Katie Gray's there.
02:29We play with them.
02:30This is ET sticker.
02:31This is our photographer and our alternator mechanic.
02:35They helped me fix our alternator yesterday.
02:38It was pretty awesome.
02:39That's in there.
02:41I don't know if you can see it.
02:43One of my personal favorites is the Tobey Maguire meme one here.
02:49Because sometimes you just feel like that.
02:52And I really like looking at it all the time.
02:55I also really like the Goku guitar lessons one from, I think that's combat.
03:00Our friends in combat.
03:02So those two are probably my two favorite.
03:04So this is our Bluetooth FM transmitter here.
03:08It's called Monster.
03:09It's called Monster.
03:10Monster.
03:11Usually doesn't give us many issues.
03:14Sometimes people's, sometimes people's AirPods and shit get connected to it.
03:19That, that's the only time it's really, or when we're in a big city like we are today.
03:23Sometimes the static.
03:25Yeah.
03:26It's pretty crazy.
03:27As far as listening, I'm pretty much playing my Sean Tavious greatest hits,
03:32which is...
03:34Can I smell your dick?
03:35Yes.
03:36Um...
03:37That's a great song.
03:39That's a great one.
03:41Leo Love the Sluts by Monaleo.
03:44Night Owl.
03:45Night Owl.
03:46Night Owl.
03:47By Auntie Hammy.
03:48A lot of baddies music.
03:50A lot of baddies, a lot of ratchet anthems.
03:52No guitar.
03:53We don't listen to guitar music.
03:54Yeah.
03:55We don't really, when you play like 30 shows with lots of loud guitars, the last thing
03:59I want to get in this van and do honestly is listen to guitar music.
04:03But we will usually, our friends sometimes will leak us music that we listen to that we really
04:09enjoy doing that.
04:10Um, and we also just enjoy like new drops and releases from people in the scene.
04:15So we will listen to that.
04:17But for the most part, pop bangers.
04:20Always.
04:21That's what it is music wise, but Reagan's also like a YouTube essay fanatic.
04:26Yes.
04:27So there's a lot of YouTube essays going on.
04:30Yeah.
04:31I've learned a lot of things being on tour.
04:33Specifically about Tupac and Biggie.
04:35And also specifically 90's Nickelodeon lore.
04:39And also very into true crime stuff.
04:43So like they'll be asleep and then they'll hear like some crazy shit.
04:48Like he murdered her in a staircase.
04:52Um, but I mean, you can find a frickin five hour video essay on YouTube.
04:58And when you're driving seven hours, you're like, hey, I got time to get up here.
05:03I got a lot of information to learn.
05:05Yeah.
05:06So this is like our table you could think of.
05:08This used to have groceries in it, but then we decided like to eat nothing but shitty food all of our lives.
05:14So now we don't really do that.
05:15This is where we usually keep like important stuff that we want on tour.
05:19Like this is the new Awa record that we've had.
05:22And it actually just came out today.
05:25So that's fucking cool.
05:26We've had that for a while.
05:28Um, and then now there's just like car stuff in here.
05:31I took out all the other stuff.
05:32We finally bought jumper cables for the first time at the touring van.
05:37This is an ashtray that Grace bought.
05:38So if we buy something on tour that we want to keep safe, we put it in here.
05:42So if you're going to steal from us, that's where you go.
05:45Oh gosh.
05:46Liquid IV.
05:48There's some seasonings in there.
05:50Some seasonings.
05:51It smells like lemon pepper seasoning in here.
05:54I'm not going to lie.
05:55Which is pretty cool.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Our favorite, our favorite sauce is buffalo lemon pepper.
05:59So if I'm going to get a whiff of anything, at least it's that.
06:03Um, looks like I have an old bottle of Dove's Men Care in here.
06:08You never know.
06:09You never know.
06:10I might need to take a shower, you know, while driving.
06:12We keep our drinks here.
06:13There's some deodorant here.
06:15Boxes and stuff.
06:17Um, registration and important stuff in here.
06:20I keep a bunch of trash bags over here.
06:23These have been awesome.
06:24I like the bags more than the cans.
06:26They take up less space.
06:27Then you can just throw them away.
06:28I usually have napkins right here.
06:30There's oil.
06:31This is the book I'm reading.
06:32Farewell to Arms.
06:33Ernest Hemingway.
06:34I haven't gotten to the sad part yet.
06:36And I'm really nervous about that.
06:39But yeah, it's kind of my door jar situation.
06:42We also have this QT coupon for a free drink.
06:47This is going to come in clutch one day.
06:50I don't even know whose this is.
06:52But I might have to fucking cash this one in.
06:54Because we love quick trip.
06:56We also love sheets.
06:58Up here is uh, it's kind of like our filing cabinet you could think of.
07:02This is where important things go.
07:04This is where important documents go.
07:06Right here.
07:07So this is uh, a printout of a Leslie speaker that my Uncle Terry got for me.
07:12Because he was explaining it to me.
07:13And then get like printed it out.
07:14Which is pretty cool.
07:15This is fucking-
07:16This is a set list from a band called Dogs on Acid.
07:19That I found that they left at that-
07:21What's is-
07:22No Fun in Troy.
07:23They left it on stage at No Fun in Troy.
07:25And I-
07:26I got that.
07:27That's-
07:28This is an In-N-Out.
07:29Um, it's not a menu.
07:30It's like-
07:31A placemat.
07:32Yeah.
07:33We're not from there.
07:34So we like to go there a lot.
07:35Oh, look at this.
07:36This is a Moose Creek Park poster.
07:38Yeah.
07:39So this is an important, important uh, filing cabinet for us.
07:43We don't want the papers to get lost or crumpled.
07:45So.
07:46This is where usually like, if we have another member with us.
07:49Or our booker.
07:50Or someone else.
07:51This is like the guest bench kind of.
07:52You know what I'm saying?
07:53It's a-
07:54It's a rotating phenomenon.
07:55Also sometimes Grace's huge suitcase goes here.
07:58It's massive.
08:00It's-
08:01So that goes here.
08:02And then all like our other stuff.
08:04It's kind of like also a storage area right here.
08:07It's the longest bench in the van.
08:10So you can put a little bit more room in here.
08:13So if you're a little taller.
08:15This-
08:16This bench or this bench is kind of ideal.
08:18The back bench is reserved for Grace.
08:21If you're in this bench, you don't have any leg room.
08:24We do not have a trailer.
08:25So y'all are going to see some magic in here.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Courtesy to Grace Dudas in the back who you will meet shortly.
08:33But yeah, we put all of our shit in here.
08:36All the merch.
08:37All the merch.
08:38All the gear.
08:39All of our gear.
08:40Drum set.
08:41Drum set.
08:42My drums are here.
08:43We don't play no business when it comes down to this van.
08:46And we're definitely, if y'all know it, having a trailer sucks.
08:50And I just don't want to, you know, I'm okay with just being able to whip it.
08:55You know?
08:56Without needing to focus on killing us all.
08:59So, introducing in hotel room one, two, four, five, six.
09:04This is ETH, our touring photographer, content person, etc.
09:09Yeah!
09:10Yeah!
09:11Yeah.
09:12So, the moment I don't have the most room, kind of how it goes, the beginning of the tour,
09:17everything starts clean.
09:18And then it doesn't.
09:20Um, but I, you know, I did a lot of sleeping this morning.
09:25We had a long, early drive.
09:26Um, but this is where, kind of like, I, uh, we wake up and then I'm on my little laptop
09:33and, you know, editing the pictures from the day before.
09:36Um, I need to go back to, Isaiah said earlier that we changed the alternator.
09:41We changed the fucking alternator.
09:42We don't know shit, and Isaiah and I just got a new alternator and put it in the car
09:46and it works now.
09:47Like, that is crazy.
09:49Second addendum is, Reagan uses YouTube music but does not pay for it.
09:55So, I have to hear so many goddamn ads for YouTube music because Reagan plays all the
10:00music and I, like, literally have offered so many times to pay for Spotify or YouTube
10:04and they will not accept it and, like, yeah, that, uh, that's me.
10:08Hey, I typically mute it when the ad comes on, y'all.
10:12Okay?
10:13I do.
10:14That's true, that's true.
10:15I turn it down.
10:16These Red Bulls, they're a bunch of caffeine addicts.
10:18I don't do this stuff.
10:19Not for me.
10:20But you know what is for me?
10:21Bare Naked Granola.
10:23Please sponsor me.
10:24I've been DMing you on Instagram.
10:26This is pretty much the only thing I eat on a regular basis.
10:30It's fucking delicious, especially the cacao and cashew butter crunch.
10:35Um, this is Grace's Squishmallow.
10:37I normally buy a Squishmallow on every tour, but I'm kind of broke right now.
10:41And Grace offered it, and so it's been a nice pillow.
10:43Um, we got, there's about 17 guitars.
10:47We got some Arcadia Grey setlists.
10:49Um, they're, like, up and coming, and, like, we're just trying to, like, help them out.
10:53No, I'm just kidding.
10:54They're awesome.
10:55Actually, this setlist, um, they, no, not this one.
10:58Well, one of these, they, like, played, like, literally all my favorite songs, and I was,
11:02like, cutting in front of all their fans and being like, yo, you better get me that setlist.
11:06Um, they're real ones.
11:08Um, what is it back here?
11:10Uh, we have some Narcan.
11:12We like to put that on the table.
11:14Um.
11:15Uh, oh my god.
11:19So, the other day, we were at a gas station.
11:21Some dude was, like, clocked us as a band.
11:23Was like, are you guys a band?
11:24And we're like, yeah, guilty as charged.
11:26And then, within, like, 20 seconds goes, uh, do you guys want this, uh, 16 channel mixer?
11:31And then, by the time he hands it to us, we see, like, cartoon dust, and he's gone.
11:36Uh, he just gave us this.
11:38We're definitely a part of a crime now.
11:41Yeah, I would not, I would not sell this to a pawn shop.
11:44It might set something off.
11:45If you're missing that, we might have it.
11:47We, I, we'd like to, like, we'll give you half off.
11:50Um, what else is here?
11:53Mostly just trash.
11:54They kind of stick me with the trash.
11:56I got this thing.
11:57It's like a sleeping bag, but you, like, you gotta hand inflate it.
12:01And everyone, like, we're all getting ready for bed.
12:04And I'm just going, like, this for, like, five minutes.
12:07And, but it's, it was, like, 20 bucks.
12:09So, if we get the whole, I'll just buy another one.
12:11Um, yeah, it's pretty much, I mean, I got my camera bag.
12:16It's really nice.
12:17Uh, the, the, the thing I learned on tour, tour tip, if you're ever touring, um, have a system.
12:24Like, have a spot for everything in your bag.
12:27Because you won't lose stuff.
12:29You'll be able to find stuff when you need it.
12:31And you won't go crazy being like, did I leave that at someone's house?
12:36Or is it just in the van, floating?
12:38This is the last bench.
12:40Technically, we have space for a fourth bench.
12:42But as you, as you notice, no trailer.
12:45Therefore, no room for a fourth bench.
12:47Um, first I'll, I'll start off by talking about this amazing contraption that I bought.
12:52This is how I watched Love Island, hands-free.
12:55It broke, unfortunately.
12:57But I just, I kinda, you know, like this.
13:03Put my phone in here.
13:05It's really nice.
13:07Um, I also have another neck pillow for just sleeping purposes.
13:12Um, this is my other Squishmallow.
13:18Every Squishmallow in this car is mine.
13:20But I'm actually sharing for the first time in my life.
13:23I never would have ever let Ethie sleep on that.
13:25And I did.
13:26Which is like, crazy.
13:28Um, Isaiah's mom made me this blanket.
13:32This is my pillow.
13:35And then, if you look up and over, our booker stole this Walmart basket from, from Walmart
13:44a couple years ago.
13:46And it serves as like, my basket of things that I can keep open beverages that they don't
13:53spill.
13:54Perhaps a can of Dr. Pepper.
13:56Got some books to re- I haven't read them.
13:59It's been four weeks on this tour.
14:01And I certainly haven't read that, but I have been playing this.
14:04I have a lot of crayons.
14:09This is my, my coloring book.
14:13Here, this is a good one.
14:16Very cute.
14:18Very cute.
14:21That's pretty much my life.
14:23I got a lot of stuff back here.
14:25This is my suitcase.
14:27I, I kind of volunteer to stay back here and keep everyone's stuff around me.
14:33Um, and then nobody really just bothers me.
14:36It's, it's nice.
14:37I don't know.
14:38Nobody wants, everybody's like, oh, this bench is too much stuff.
14:40No.
14:41I'm literally back here like, sleeping like this.
14:45Like, perfectly extended.
14:47I just slept from Indiana, like where we live to Chicago and it felt like that.
14:54So.
14:55I've got this mirror.
14:57I can do my makeup.
14:59I have a lot, like a lot of stuff, really.
15:04A lot.
15:06Might wear these shoes later today.
15:09I try not, like the tour starts and the shoes are in the bag, but now they're just everywhere.
15:18I will say that.
15:19But, I do a lot of sleeping back here.
15:22I, I mainly just a lot of this and a lot of games.
15:26And this is what I, I, I use this to color.
15:31Give this TikTok shop moment.
15:34It's, it's glory.
15:36Do some work.
15:38That's about it.
15:42All right.
15:43So, again, no trailer, but we have a Grace Dudas who can pack our van.
15:49So this is what the back looks like, if I could unlock it.
15:53We also have this.
15:57Shout out Ogbert the Nerd.
15:59Shout out Maddie.
16:05All right.
16:06Nice.
16:07Yeah, so this is where we keep all of our stuff at.
16:11Everything that we use to play in this band and go on tour is in here, including our merch, which you can't see.
16:18It's behind the mountain of gear.
16:20We also have some tour flyers that we've kept from shows.
16:25Just kind of decorating.
16:27I don't even know why I just thought I should be putting stickers back here too.
16:30But that moment just, that thought just came to me right now.
16:34But yeah, we got a trumpet case.
16:37Drum kit.
16:38There's most of my drum kits.
16:40Some PA speakers.
16:41Y'all know how it is out here DIYing it.
16:44And we've got all my stands.
16:47All our guitars.
16:49And yeah, obviously y'all just saw the inside of that shit.
16:53So no luggage back here whatsoever.
16:57Just strictly everything we need to pull up to the gig and rock out.
