FunTranscript
00:00Cialis right here that my co-worker recommended me to get blood flowing for
00:04the pump. Back here is where the not as cool guys hang out. He brought one backpack
00:09with the clothes and didn't shower the first three days we were here. No, two days.
00:30Hey guys, Bulldozer here from the band Intercept. You're currently on tour with Dark Angel, Sacred
00:44Rike and Hyrax and this is our van. I call it the Mayhem 5. Might change up the name but
00:51this is her right here, 93 Chevy G30 work van. It's got two seats in the front that actually
00:59fit the DOT regulations and then you'll see what I got in the back but got these little
01:04fake steer horns I've put on. Just bought them off the marketplace for like 20 bucks and
01:09I guess I'll show you guys the inside. Most of the time this is where I'm sitting. This
01:16is where I'm sitting. That's Mr. Jace Faiella right here is our driver roadie merch guy and
01:23you know we got all the snack holders, snack and drink holders. Got my Cialis
01:29right here that my coworker recommended me to get blood flowing for the pump while I'm
01:33on stage. Well usually you know we just drive in silence and Blake's got to stay awake the
01:38whole time when I'm driving just to make sure I don't crash his van or anything. Yeah I
01:44got to pay attention to all the gauges too just making sure because I took it to the shop
01:47just before and they told me I got a coolant and oil leak going both and you know I mean
01:53it's a 93 van. It's bound to happen. But I got to make sure all the gauges are doing
01:57alright as he's driving. Alright so up here we got Mr. Germaphobe Jack's baby
02:01wife. He likes to wipe his hands down after shaking hands with strange people. We got his
02:07nasty shirt right back here. Got my roommate right before I left. He got me this for my birthday.
02:14The Tang. Fucking this means war record. Yeah got our little school candy speaker that when we do
02:20play music when we're all in the mood for it. We play it through this and then you know reflects
02:24off the windshield back towards it so we can all kind of hear a little bit. And a few little
02:30bits of trash scattered all throughout because that's how it goes. Alright so back here is where
02:36the not as cool guys hang out. This is Johnny's spot down on the floor. He made sure that we had
02:42everything arranged when we're all packed up. He made sure we have everything arranged
02:46so he's got his little beauty sleep spot. Jack he's either on the front when I'm driving
02:50or he's back here. And let me move some of this stuff aside so I can show them my upholstery
02:55and carpentry skills. I built this bench just added some Lowe's 2x4's right before we left.
03:00And this is actually my bed's old comforter from my parents' house that I took and just wrapped
03:04the thing with. Filled some Walmart cushions in between. It's not very comfortable but what can you do
03:09with like a few days notice. Got this cage right here for when I bought this van. It was a tool van
03:17with a bunch of tool shelves in the back and obviously this here so you don't get beheaded by your shit.
03:22But for us then whenever they're being annoying I can just sit here and just fucking close that up.
03:31Well when their feet aren't in the way but you get it. Yeah so my beauty spot as he calls it.
03:36It's not really that beautiful. I've gotten maybe an hour of sleep in this spot so far.
03:42The camping bag, the sleeping bag works a little bit. You know I haven't broken my tailbone yet.
03:48Got my, this is my cock. There's nothing special to it you know. That's pretty much it.
03:55Yeah it's great. I'm blessed to be here. I love it. Everything's gone smoothly so far.
04:01That's right yeah he's glad to be here. We didn't chain him to the van to make him come or anything.
04:09I swear he's here on his own accord. He's purely on his own accord right? Right? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
04:16Yeah we got this from Lowe's right before we left. We were like, cause we don't got AC. We don't got AC in this van.
04:22And uh on the way up here and now it's also hot so we've had this thing going.
04:27Put a little bit of water in it and I guess it gets a little bit of a little breeze going.
04:31Got some of the waters from the venue. Got a bunch of little snacks here.
04:35A bunch of little, oh there's the coolant. Got some little candies.
04:40Thanks my mom. Let's see what we still have. Yeah. From all these fuckers eating all these things.
04:44So we got, we got some Ritz, nope we don't have Ritz.
04:48We got some peanut butter uh like granola bars. Damn is all this like mostly trash?
04:53We got some Sour Patch Kids. We got some Life Savers Mints. Who's been, no one's been.
05:00Got some Doritos, some Sun Chips. Yeah some, yeah Sun Chips. Just a sort of little snacks in there.
05:08Anabolic snacks. Courtesy of Miss Viola.
05:11Yeah. You can tell nobody's had those mints yet.
05:14Yeah. I mean you can smell it in my breath.
05:17Yeah, yeah. That's why it's definitely so far back away.
05:21This is the back of the van. This one's a little hard to open.
05:25We just have the drum cases and cabs in now. Thanks to Sega Wright, they're letting us use their cabs.
05:30So we don't have to be getting these out each night.
05:32Um, but usually we pack in, you know, everything as tight as we can.
05:35I mean, don't have a trailer or nothing. So we got to be pretty space conscious.
05:40This is all of our uh, accessories. Accessories!
05:43Accessories! That we call them on stage.
05:45We just come out here and change. Or if we got the green room, we go down there and change.
05:49Got some more waters. Right here.
05:51So, uh, we've dealt with having a very sub-optimal setup beforehand.
05:57But thanks to the ingenuity of the four of us, we've, uh, figured out a method that works each and every night.
06:04He started taking pictures of each step of the process just so we can memorize.
06:08And I think the last show we were able to get off stage and fully packed into the van, besides merch, in like 25-30 minutes.
06:14So, we've definitely optimized it a good bit. And now that we have the pictures, we got the same thing every night.
06:20And the beauty space every night.
06:22And the beauty space every night, yeah.
06:24Exactly. After, after that first show, we decided to go ahead and switch out to big ol' plastic totes from Walmart.
06:29We had like 30 pounds of cardboard.
06:31Yeah, we had so much fucking cardboard, it probably would have taken up, I mean, here to here.
06:36Like, it was, it was way too much. So, we got some space for that.
06:40And, uh, who knows, by the end of the tour, once we sell some more merch, someone can sleep in one of the Walmart totes.
06:44And, uh, it should be good, right?
06:46Alright, so, these ladder racks, uh, hold our little merch, little, like, cage thing where we, uh, put our shirts on and stuff.
06:54So, we have that up here. We also got this bag that has, uh, Mr. Hammer's suitcase, which he fucking brought along way too big of a suitcase.
07:02And then his big ol' camping bag.
07:03Hold on.
07:04He brought one backpack with the clothes.
07:06He brought one backpack.
07:07He didn't shower the first three days we were here.
07:08No, two days. Two.
07:10Two days.
07:11So, within a month, then he complains about a suitcase.
07:13Stinky scepter.
07:14Hey, yeah, so anyways, we got these up here. We put these on as we were coming up.
07:19These were actually from our old drummer's van, which he drove into a parking garage without paying attention to how, of the height limit.
07:26So, he just knocked these straight off the top.
07:28Somehow, he left, he still had three of these brackets that came with it.
07:33He didn't have this one right here.
07:35So, we went to Lowe's that day and I took a regular 90 degree angle bracket and me and Jack just stand outside hammering it down on the ground until we bent it into the right shape.
07:44And it's been holding ever since.
07:46So, using the remnants of the old drummer, a little bit of Lowe's, Tomfoolery, and some ratchet straps.
07:52And then that makes up for the extra space.
07:55Once again, we're Interceptor on tour with Dark Angel, Sacred Rike, and Hyrax.
08:00Midnight Violence will be joining us along the way.
08:03We'll be on tour the next three weeks.
08:06Catch us on the way.
