00:00Sometimes we get Eric's text messages in here, so we listen to those too, so they're really funny

00:05I got this little bodoc sauce here. I use this for everything. I got a vape here. It's not mine

00:09But yeah, we stay vaping. We stay vaping

00:30Hey, what's up everybody? We're dwellings. I'm Isaac. This is Thomas. What's up?

00:43We're gonna do a little demo over a band or a band

00:47Yeah, so follow me. All right, so for the most part for driving we all kind of split off

00:52We do about like three to four hour drives

00:54We always have a co-pilot always designated on the aux, snack time, opening in waters, whatnot

00:59Navigating

01:01We try to drive as much as we can after shows to beat some traffic and make some headway on it

01:07Yeah, driving's probably the worst part, but we all enjoy it. It's fun. It's part of the part of the whole thing, you know

01:12Yeah, up here in the cockpit we got a little solar power generator for one of our little batteries

01:17Which we're not really getting a lot of power out because it's overcast-y

01:20This just holds our phone lots of cables. Cup holders. Cup holders got this little

01:24armrest doodad thing that kind of holds more cables, some toilet paper if you're getting sneezy, cleaning supplies

01:31We actually converted this into one of our beds too. We'll take like either a piece of plywood or some like a mattress foam

01:37And so we can sleep right up front here nice and cozy. Yeah

01:39And then we have a ton of like these little window block things so that way when we're parking in and sleeping out of Walmart

01:45We just block out all the light also helps with like heat reduction and stuff like that

01:49We have like a collective playlist a lot of the time

01:51Sometimes whoever's in the co-piloting seat they have their own like mix or you know

01:57Whatever they like to listen to on Spotify and yeah, they'll work with it

02:00Sometimes we get Eric's text messages in here, so we listen to those too, so they're really funny

02:06Yeah, maybe we'll get to some of those afterwards, you know, we don't know yet, but

02:11But yeah, yeah, yeah, well if you like the front let's check out the back. Let's check out the back. Marco loves his sunflower seeds

02:18That's his thing. He eats these like literally 24-7

02:23Yeah, he's supposed to feel something, you know, just a little tip that take the edge off, you know, so

02:29Yep, the flavor is

02:32Cracked pepper

02:34For your enjoyment now, it's the middle of it got marks and Marco over here

02:39It's got the the chill zone, so we're doing much the driving people come back here hanging out

02:43Doing some reading sleeping as much as possible. We have ET on VHS. We got ET on VHS can't quite watch it, but we have it there

02:50Bought these little guys for us like little storage units, you know, that way we're not losing as much stuff

02:57Built this little storage container so that way it's got shoes down below and other materials some snacks in the middle

03:02Top comes off the whole thing comes off and slide it around if you need to

03:05It's a nice and modular

03:06I put my feet up on that all the time too. This is my spot right here where marks is

03:10I get like a body pillow in there

03:12I make it like five pillows deep, you know, where I'm just like fucking just cushioned up, you know, like this makes me fit in there so well

03:18Yeah, it turns into a great bed too because like that's very cozy put your feet up on here

03:23You have the doors right here and people can still get in and out which works out really nicely

03:26So a lot of the stuff that's like in just like around someone's sitting space is like their personal stuff

03:31They have like their personal bag

03:33Maybe like extra pair of like slip-on shoes or something and like, you know, like whatever else they might need like I I got this little bodoc sauce here

03:40I use this for everything people have been giving me shit about it, dude

03:43But I brought this to you to eat so you know, I'm gonna use it. Um, but yeah

03:48We got more vapes here just like small little small little things that you might need we oh, we have a little trash can here

03:55That we throw away stuff. We don't have bags for it right now, but it's we just cleaned it out. So it's cool

04:00We got a lot of fans here because it gets really hot in here

04:03So there's fans throughout the whole band

04:06There's a fan over here and if you look up here

04:08We actually have some little like Halloween colored lights

04:11Yeah, we got this dude right here

04:13They shine a lot in the dark, so it's pretty lit

04:15We got some crossword puzzles when you get bored, you know, just go at it

04:19Um, yep, and then we also have like charging ports like at every side of the van, so it's very convenient

04:24Everyone in the van has a has access to charge their devices

04:29Um, yeah, we got a switch. Yep. Yeah, we got a switch. That's Isaac's switch. He says I could play it

04:35I haven't played it yet, though. I didn't bring mine this tour

04:37You could play it. Yeah, we stole he stole it to share, so it's all good for me

04:42I'm like the smallest person so I I can actually fit everywhere, but I

04:46Prefer to be up here because like this is like the smallest section

04:49So like I'll take the small spot people with like longer legs can actually like stretch their legs out and like sleep on at a longer thing right here

04:56Um, we call this the gulch

04:58Oh, we got Eric over here. He's hiding. Hi. Usually Eric stays there all the time

05:04He can't let himself out the bed. I'll sleep

05:06Someone has to let him out the bed. Yeah, you have to let him out the bed

05:08So he's trapped there for now

05:10I sleep here most of the time or here depending, you know, you can fit two people up here

05:14So depends on who wants to, you know, share a bed. Yeah, yeah, so for the most part

05:19We kind of rotate a lot of our spots

05:21Uh, Isaac always gets to sleep here though because he has to put his feet up on this thing

05:24And for the most part marks is up front, but other than that everyone kind of like rotates in and out like whatever's clever

05:29A lot of times whoever's driving throughout the night

05:31They get kind of the last pick of the spot

05:33Unfortunately because everyone else is already knocked out and has the best spot

05:36So whoever's driving kind of gets like the short end of the stick

05:39Um, but we make it work. Uh, yeah, there's two bunks down below. Eric always gets that one rotate in and out works out pretty good

05:46So typically

05:48I just get in here. I put my legs up like this. I'm fucking just kicking it, you know

05:52People are driving. I instantly fall asleep. They hate that shit. I, uh, I fall asleep talking

05:57I'll be like, hey guys. Yeah, you want to go to the mental and I'm like

06:01It's fucking out like a light. Yeah, it's insane

06:04Uh, but yeah, I like to put my like my ipod or my sorry my ipad right here

06:08It's got this like clear thing right here, you know, and then I can like watch anime and I'm watching demon slayer right now

06:13I'm watching it so I can watch the movie when I get back home with my wife

06:16Uh, you know, I got a vape here. It's not mine, but uh, yeah, we stay vaping

06:23We stay vaping. Don't smoke it. It's bad for you

06:25Yeah, this is also like uh, because like we have a co-pilot, but whoever's here is co-co-pilot

06:31Yeah, that's true

06:32And then and then it goes on, you know, co-co-co-pilot and then just whatever else is about pilot

06:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, I usually have a huge body pillow too right here

06:40But yeah, this is my spot usually these are covered too by like one of these guys as well

06:45Uh, but yeah, the curtains like they're good, but when you're driving they have to be removed. Ah, but yeah

06:51Thomas set that up. That's pretty sick. Yeah, Thomas did a lot of the diy-ness and you can see mella over here

06:56Uh, they're just chilling

07:02There we go. We got we got something from him. Yeah, but anyways stop looking at his boys. Um

07:06Welcome to the gulch. One thing that's super nice about these doors too is you can either walk them so they stay in place

07:13If it's windy or you can unlock it and swing it all the way around if you need to which I can right now

07:18That way it just gives you extra space when you need to be moving around stuff

07:21Uh, so obviously back here. This is where most of the sleeping is done. Uh, nice and cozy back here

07:28Ripped out some of the seats back here and then my dad and I built the the frame for this

07:32So basically it's just like some two by fours goes down the middle and then it's just all like plywood up top

07:37Uh, and pretty sturdy and it kind of like branches out towards the sides. It's on the frame of the van as well

07:42Um, so yeah, I usually sleep a lot down here or Marco does kind of rotating it out

07:47And this is a bunch of like foam pads and like insulation stuff because it gets very hot down there because it's right over the drivetrain

07:52So as the car is going it starts to get smoking hot down here

07:55So some insulation some fans and then got the top bunk up here

07:59Which is probably the most cozy spot to be but it's kind of terrifying as you're driving

08:04Not the best for that

08:06Hi, my name is Eric. Um, I really like it back here because it's nice and cozy and it's like your own little domain

08:12And it's like an escape from like everyone else a little bit and there's a lot of snoring and talking that goes on there

08:17So I just like to play pokemon on my phone like right on my and just like I have a charging station too right here

08:23Got this little charging port right here

08:25Charging port right here so I can charge like a lot of crap, you know

08:28And then yeah, I just play pokemon on my phone. I get really comfy. There's a

08:32Portable fan right here that is really nice when it gets like hot it gets heat gets like trapped in here

08:38So it gets a little bit hot all right

08:40So usually I know one of the guys I was like can someone get the gulch doors for me and so so I do a little bit of this guy

08:47And just kind of usually I'm a lot more sleepy

08:51Two so I can sometimes stumble on everything and almost fall and eat

08:57Huh, yeah, I've hit my head multiple times. Yeah, and here

09:00I am, you know, it's really annoying to tell the guys to open the doors for me

09:05And I feel bad whenever I do it, but yeah

09:07Someone's got to see if he can't even get out because we're not even at the van

09:10So when the doors go close, he'll let me have a crawl through the little

09:13Oh, yeah, and like shimmy his way through the whole van

09:16This wood slash is very tight

09:18But I've learned to like go through it and go out that way if I want to if we if we're like driving and I want to just like

09:24Like see light, you know

09:27Like I'll just go through to the right and then all right. Oh, all right

09:30It's not all darkness, you know, and then I see some of my homies and friends, you know, and I remember out, you know

09:35So yeah, yeah, so this is our van. This is the Gulch. This is greater Gulch, and yeah, we're dwellings
