00:00We're from Norway, so we run into every kind of gas station, and we buy a lot of candy because
00:04it's like wow all the new candy
00:06You can actually lean the seats back
00:09Isn't that amazing? I love Chicago now because they're shameless. It's also a really nice city
00:40Hey, I'm Anna up north, and we are here in Chicago
00:43We're doing our last show on this part of the tour, and then we're going to the West Coast
00:46So now we have to pack up the car or clean the car and we're out of here
00:52My tour manager Hans and drummer and everything man. He sits here
00:57and this is Heather's carpet that she brought. She's driving and selling merch and
01:04Then the rest of us have the back. I think like
01:08People sitting here are kind of like separated from the ones in the back, but they are listening to music
01:13But I haven't really heard it. They're like I'm sitting so far back. I'm sitting like in the the backest
01:18of the back in the back in the car
01:21But we all are kind of in our own spaces when we travel we are boarding and then
01:25We talk
01:27But it's hard for me to communicate with these people up here because you know far back
01:31I think this is the like most boring like serious place of the car though. So maybe not. These are
01:38like
01:41Stefan's my guitarist
01:43drink from like two days ago, so
01:46Let's see if he cleans that out
01:50And I'm sorry, but like it's so clean here now. We should have been here earlier
01:55This is where Stefan sits and we're lucky enough to have like one and
02:01You can actually lean the seats back
02:04Isn't that amazing?
02:09One of the bigger cars we've had actually we are like six people traveling together and
02:13And four of us are from Norway and then we have a bassist from L.A.
02:18Chad
02:19I mean, this is
02:22Stefan's old subway
02:24Still from the
02:25You saw the his soda water earlier. But yeah, so that's a
02:29They're kind of small though
02:33So
02:34So
02:36Jed
02:37He's a bassist
02:39He usually just like listens to music. He goes really quiet in the car. I feel or maybe it's me
02:45going quiet. I don't know
02:46But like he he listens to music all the time feel. He's a producer as well. So maybe he's working
02:52a lot
02:54Stefan is playing they're playing chess. They're playing chess together. They're like old friends from like so he's from
03:00I think he's from Chicago where he lives in L.A.
03:04Stefan is from Norway. They met like
03:0620 years ago or something or
03:08Yeah, so this is like the first time seeing each other in like such a long time and now they're
03:13playing together, which is awesome
03:16But yeah, not like
03:19Not much fun
03:20Here you have that
03:24Stefan's skittles or something. I'm pretty sure Stefan is the most messy one though
03:29I think around
03:31Him there's like always a lot of candy
03:33Because like we're from Norway, so we run into every kind of gas station and we buy a lot of
03:37candy because it's like
03:38Wow all the new candy
03:40So I've like had a lot of a lot of cheddar like
03:45Chips and stuff like that and then there were like some sombrero chips
03:48Chatter on
03:50I like this one
03:52So this is the one without
03:55But I do prefer the one with but then I've decided to never eat cheddar again because I get so
04:00dirty
04:01And like I had to like cut my nails and scrub my fingers yesterday
04:06Yeah
04:06And then these are kind of boring look
04:09I like the cheddar once more
04:11And then these are yeah
04:12So here these were the ones that were kind of ruined my nails
04:16It was good though
04:17But yeah a lot of chips
04:22And I always sit
04:26I sit here
04:30In the back
04:32Then I sit like this
04:38And that's me
04:39That's what I do
04:41But yeah I know I like sitting
04:43Just close to the window
04:45And also this seat is like an amazing car
04:48You can
04:51Yeah, you got it?
04:53You can like
04:55Push it back and forth
04:56But you're also, I think you're also gonna
04:59You know
05:00But yeah so it's kind of only my stuff left here now
05:04This is garbage
05:05I can clean a bit now that I have to
05:08Clean
05:10And yeah and then Thomas my sound engineer is next to me
05:14There
05:15And he
05:17We are both lifting like serious
05:19I'm actually like obsessed with like Shameless
05:21And then we're driving here and like
05:23I got kind of like emotional
05:26Because like it reminds me of the characters and all that
05:29And then tomorrow I really wanna go and see like
05:31All their places
05:33That you know like
05:35The house
05:37Gallagher house
05:38Bars
05:39All that stuff
05:40So I hope
05:42Hope I get the band to go with you tomorrow
05:44So it's kind of like emotional driving into Chicago
05:46Because like you know
05:47I love Chicago now because of Shameless
05:49It's also a really nice city
05:50Feels like a cleaner New York in a way
05:53So we were all saying like we
05:55We would
05:56We could live here
05:57This is where we're gonna live if we're gonna live here
05:59Essentials
06:00So like I had to run like I'm from Norway
06:02And I'm usually
06:04I'm usually
06:05Like well dressed or like not well dressed
06:08But like properly like for the weather dressed
06:11And I didn't have like this was the only coat coat I brought
06:14This this one the leather one
06:16So I had to go and buy a new one
06:18So this is my essential now
06:20I'm like always in this one
06:23And of course my power bank
06:27I have like one little purse for like
06:31Like inners important stuff like camera
06:35My brush that I maybe should have used before I met you
06:41But next time
06:44Another camera
06:46This is a beer but it's not allowed to drink beer in cars here
06:49So we didn't do that
06:51And then
06:54Yeah and then
06:55Now this baby that I also had to buy because it's really cold
07:01Some toiletries
07:02I love doing Soruko
07:05So this is my book I haven't gotten to four stars yet
07:10So this is
07:11I need to get smarter
07:13I have a book that I've been reading a bit
07:18I'm really tired on tour though
07:20So mostly like when I'm not like doing stuff I sleep
07:23But this is a good Norwegian book
07:26Or it's not Norwegian
07:27It's I think it's Swedish maybe
07:32We
07:33Yeah he's Swedish
07:35Is he Swedish?
07:39It's definitely based in Sweden
07:43The book like the story
07:44It's called Damn the Men
07:48Fuck you men or something
07:50It's about all the men
07:52He's a man himself
07:53Man man himself
07:54But it's all about like
07:55He's the father figures he's had in his life
07:58That has not been really nice to him
08:00So he's kind of angry at men
08:03I love men
