Transcript

00:00In a car wreck, you don't need an airbag, you just need a Buc-ee's cover.

00:03I've been watching Law & Order the entire tour.

00:05I've gotten through about five seasons.

00:07I've heard it's a pretty popular Gen Z show.

00:09There was a claw machine where everyone was a winner.

00:12And I wish they were all like that.

00:40Hey, I'm Chelsea.

00:42I'm Erin.

00:42We're in a band called Wilt.

00:44And right now we're at our Chicago stop for our tour with Taylor Egghorn at Lincoln Hall.

00:48Yep.

00:49This is Van Invaders.

00:50Bus Invaders.

00:51No, Van Invaders.

00:52Oh yeah, we don't have a bus.

00:53Someday.

00:54Someday.

00:55This is the fourth to last date of our tour.

00:57We've been on tour for over a month.

00:58Um, the van looks like we've been on tour for over a month.

01:02There's also nothing in it right now.

01:04I would say now is about as good as it's looked in a very long time.

01:07Yeah.

01:08It's been looking pretty bad.

01:11So, Dan, our drummer, does most of the driving.

01:14Um, the van is in his name.

01:16So, we like him to stay up here and be Big Papa at the front.

01:20Um, otherwise, Erin drives a good amount.

01:23So does Frankie, our bassist.

01:25And Val, our tour manager.

01:27Andy, um, drives when he's not doing something more important.

01:30Because he's really important.

01:31Andy does the night drives.

01:32He does the night drives, true.

01:33I think he's done every single, after a show, I think Andy's done every single drive.

01:37Yeah.

01:37Yeah, he has like three beers at the show and then just, okay.

01:41Yeah, maybe not that part.

01:41We don't drink and drive.

01:43We don't, we don't do anything and drive.

01:45The person who's driving is always sober.

01:46The person who's driving is always sober.

01:48Yeah, so usually the driver or the passenger is on aux.

01:52Um, we've been listening to a lot of like Elliot Smith and Heatmiser.

01:55There's been a lot of that.

01:56A lot of like classic albums.

01:58We've listened to a lot of the Beatles earlier on in the tour.

02:00Um, I don't drive, but whenever I'm up here, I usually put on, um, this artist called Suzy

02:06Clue right now.

02:07She only has three songs and I'm obsessed with all of them.

02:10What have you been listening to?

02:11Somehow we haven't like run out of albums yet.

02:13Yeah.

02:14Which is crazy because you'd think that driving 10,000 miles, you would run out of albums,

02:19but.

02:19We're not a podcast band.

02:20There's been a few repeats.

02:21I've noticed that Val's put on Pine Grove like three times now.

02:24Val's put on a lot of Pine Grove and Elliot Smith.

02:26We've also been listening to a couple of Audio Tree sessions, which is cool because we're

02:29here in Chicago right now.

02:30Huge, huge shout out to Audio Tree.

02:32Yeah.

02:32So first thing we have here, um, our wonderful fan Sierra, who runs our fan page, made us a

02:38Buc-ee's gift basket that I have back here and I'll show you in a second, but this is

02:42my favorite thing in the gift basket.

02:43There's these little, there's one in your thing too.

02:46Um, a little like, yeah, it keeps us safe, um, in a car wreck.

02:49You don't need an airbag.

02:50You just need a Buc-ee's cover.

02:53Um, going up here, we have a Wilt hat.

02:56This is for whoever's in the front.

02:57If the sun's in their eyes, um, this is the hat they put on if their hat is not accessible.

03:02And then we have some duct tape.

03:04You never know when you're going to need duct tape.

03:06This is a little, um, like, shark grabby thing that a fan brought me and it's definitely

03:11like my fidget toy and it makes a super annoying sound, which I really like.

03:15Um, we have this TV man.

03:18Okay, so this is funny.

03:19So Angie tried to get like one of those mystery boxes and it was a skibbity toilet mystery

03:23box, which I don't even know what that means, honestly.

03:26And we thought we were going to get something funny, but it was just this TV person.

03:30Um, and it doesn't stand up in the car, so it just like sits, like, over there.

03:34It's like a radio head.

03:35It does kind of look like radio head.

03:36And we do love radio head.

03:37It makes me think of radio head.

03:37Um, let's see.

03:38Over here, we have some masks.

03:40I like to mask up when I'm sleeping and in the car so that the air doesn't, like, dry

03:44out my lungs.

03:45Oh yeah, this is a fun one.

03:46We just got this at the world's largest truck stop, um, on Iowa 80.

03:50It says, born to fish, forced to work.

03:52And the work is music.

03:53Um, we are forced to make music.

03:55We'd rather I'll be fishing.

03:56None of us fish, by the way.

03:57Um, we have some ducks up here.

04:00These are from Buffalo, New York.

04:02We went and got buffalo wings with the Taylor Acorns crew.

04:04And there was a claw machine where everyone was a winner.

04:07And I wish they were all like that, because I've spent a lot of money on this tour and

04:10not gotten as many stuffed animals as I should have.

04:13But we have some ducks up here.

04:15This one's like a little bat guy for Halloween.

04:17Another skull, because we were on tour during Halloween.

04:20Um, over here, we went to Niagara Falls.

04:22We played our first ever Canada show.

04:24So this is from Niagara Falls.

04:26And this is a little bear that was supposed to be scented from Massachusetts, but it's

04:29not scented.

04:30And we like to just, like, place them in doggies.

04:32And they're having some fun.

04:34Um, some black ice.

04:35This is from at the beginning of the tour.

04:36It smells like nothing now.

04:38What's over here?

04:39Just sunglasses.

04:39Yeah, I think, like, some glasses.

04:42Here, I'll show you my really cool ones.

04:44They're 2006 Dior.

04:46And I feel really fancy when I wear them.

04:49Over here, we have some bracelets that fans made us.

04:53We have some, um, sunscreen.

04:55Aaron likes to wear this because he doesn't want to age when he's driving.

04:58He's really scared of aging.

05:00He's like Peter Pan.

05:02Um, we have some miscellaneous gum.

05:06This is, okay, this is actually the biggest, biggest recommendation.

05:09I can have for anyone that's going on tour or just doing a road trip.

05:13This is, like, a car inverter.

05:17Pissfowl.

05:17It's called Pissfowl.

05:19Um, and it goes in here.

05:20And we charge our computers.

05:22And also, I do my hair with this.

05:23It just turns on like this.

05:25And it's super helpful.

05:26Super helpful.

05:26Super helpful because everyone likes to do their work while we're driving.

05:29Oh, yeah.

05:30What is this from?

05:31Is this from?

05:31What city?

05:32Is this from Allentown?

05:33We go to Empanada in Pittsburgh.

05:34Pittsburgh.

05:35Yeah, because Pittsburgh's known for their empanadas.

05:37Yeah.

05:37It has a little mustache.

05:38So, I love pierogies too, but this, this was actually an empanada.

05:42And that was a good catch because...

05:43Do we have a name for him?

05:44No.

05:46Um.

05:47What should we name this?

05:49Let's let, let's let the comments decide.

05:51Yeah.

05:51The name of our empanada.

05:52Shout out the name of the empanada.

05:53Yeah.

05:54This is mostly my shit over here.

05:55We have some hairspray that I haven't used at all, but I lost the cap to.

05:59This was from Denver, except I don't think it actually made any difference.

06:01But, you know.

06:04Ooh.

06:04This is from Jacksonville.

06:06Unfortunately, our show in Jacksonville got canceled, so we got to go to the beach.

06:10I've never been to Florida before, but I collected all these shells.

06:13Um, they're pretty sandy.

06:15I'll show you my favorite one.

06:16It's this, um, little red scallop shell.

06:20The tiniest little baby scallop shell.

06:22Um, in, we're from LA, and in the beaches in LA, there's not really, like, full shells.

06:26So, this was very exciting for me.

06:28We also have a cliff bar.

06:30Looks like a reusable bag of some sorts.

06:33Oh, hell yeah.

06:33This is my head massager that's gone a little messed up, but I think I've used once.

06:39Um, it has been falling out a lot.

06:42And then we have, um, a smell-proof bag for, you know, and another black ice tree that will

06:49not get used because we are done with tour in five days.

06:51Now we're here with Dan, our drummer, and Andy, our other guitarist.

06:56Dan, you want to take it away with, um, this seatback organizer that I bought?

07:01Yeah, Chelsea, uh, made a great decision of buying both of these seatback organizers, um,

07:07and, yeah, this is actually a really new organizational, uh, addition.

07:13Um, yeah, our bass player, Frankie, he, um, he, he got a lot of taco pounds.

07:19So, so many taco pounds.

07:20They basically cleaned out a Taco Bell.

07:22Yeah.

07:22Um, all their sauces.

07:24Like, yeah, he came out with a bag.

07:25We thought it was his food, but it was all sauce.

07:27It was, like, literally two pounds.

07:29So, yeah, you know, but you'll use a lot of them.

07:31Only with Mild and Fire, though, so.

07:33Yeah, there's some pot in there.

07:34There's some pot?

07:34There's some pot.

07:35Okay.

07:35It's because I use all the Diablo.

07:37I take all the Diablo sauce, so.

07:39Yeah, with his boy's slop, which we'll get to.

07:41Oh, yeah.

07:41Oh, we'll get to that.

07:42Um, this is a big, uh, a big thing for Chelsea.

07:46My favorite Buc-ee's snack.

07:47Yes.

07:48They have the best banana taffy.

07:49Um, oh, my goodness.

07:51A lot of these, like, tamarind snacks that I haven't eaten one of.

07:54I think those are Frankie's.

07:55No, they're mine.

07:56They're yours?

07:57I haven't seen him eat a single one this whole time.

07:59There's, like, 20 in there.

08:00Yeah, yeah, they're good.

08:01They're good.

08:02What else you got?

08:03Um, a water bottle, because, yeah, of course.

08:05What's in here?

08:07I picked some stuff up off the floor.

08:09Oh, yeah.

08:09To put in these things.

08:11Okay, these are great.

08:12This is, uh, Sierra's cat.

08:15Um, within our, like, hair package.

08:18Right here.

08:18Um, she threw in all these pictures of her cat.

08:21I didn't see that.

08:22Very cute, yeah.

08:24Little tabby.

08:25Yeah.

08:25Sierra got us this fin, um, this package of all these Buc-ee's things, which is so awesome.

08:29We got some beaver nuggets.

08:30I love these dill pickle potato sticks.

08:32She works at Bath & Body Works.

08:34We got a bunch of Bath & Body Works stuff, which is awesome.

08:36Um, super nice.

08:37Got us some gift cards and some awesome bracelets.

08:40Some gummies that we ate.

08:41Wait, let me hit that.

08:42The gummies?

08:43Yeah, the gummies.

08:44Yeah, you can finish those.

08:45Sierra's the one that runs our fan page.

08:47Yes.

08:47And she's the best.

08:48And also this fidget toy that I really like, but I haven't used yet.

08:51But, yeah, so this is where I usually sit.

08:54Um, in here we have, like, a bunch of lighters, because there's three smokers in the band.

08:59Um, my favorite ones that I'll show you, we have this Where the Hell Have You Been Loka,

09:04um, lighter that I got in Nashville, I think.

09:07I had an Edward one, too, that had, like, this is the skin of the killer, Bella.

09:11Um, but I lost it.

09:13And then we have just, like, a bunch of other, like, various lighters.

09:16And also some pimple patches, because your girl gets pimply with the different climates.

09:21We have this bag of babies, um, that Sierra also got us, of all different colors.

09:26Super nice.

09:27We have some, um, generic brand Dayquil.

09:31A fan, I get real sweaty.

09:33Um, this is from a dispensary in Buffalo.

09:36They gave me some freebies.

09:37This is also from a dispensary in Buffalo.

09:40This is the most important thing.

09:41This is the most important thing.

09:42Yeah, that's the most important thing.

09:43And you'll hear me ask, where's my pen, about, like, ten times an hour.

09:48Wait, there's an important thing I wanted to mention.

09:50You asked about, like, how we pass time in the car, like, what we listen to.

09:53What show have you been watching the entire tour?

09:56I've been watching Law & Order the entire tour.

09:59I've gotten through about five seasons.

10:01I've heard it's a pretty popular, like, Gen Z show.

10:03Law & Order, SVU.

10:05They make fun of me, because I don't think any other people, like, of my age range.

10:07Yeah, like, who's watching Law & Order?

10:09Law & Order, dude.

10:10I think people watch Law & Order.

10:11It's a great show.

10:12Anyways, moving on.

10:13We have some Tresemme heat protectant that I haven't used once, but it has spilled all

10:17over the car multiple times.

10:19There was some Smooth Moob tea in here, but we used all of it.

10:23But now there's Nighty Night Extra.

10:25Nighty Night Extra.

10:26That's helpful.

10:27I also have some throat coat somewhere in here, and then just some more hair products that

10:30I have not used.

10:33Wait, what about you?

10:34Yeah.

10:34Oh, well, I'll take it away.

10:37This bad boy, if you can see it, I got really because I knew it would be convenient for Chelsea.

10:43I think we're in the middle of nowhere, like El Paso, Texas, and it is a beautiful little

10:47cowboy boot.

10:48It's got Texas right on there, and it holds a lighter.

10:51Boot lighter!

10:52So, whenever we can't find one of our, like, one million lighters, we have the boot lighter

10:55as a last resort.

10:57It's pretty shitty.

10:58Yeah, but it gets the job done.

11:00To bring it on back to the place where I spend a lot of time, I will say...

11:05What do you call that?

11:06Dan.

11:07Oh, yeah.

11:07This I named the bitch seat.

11:09Because it doesn't recline.

11:11Yeah.

11:11Because if you do recline, you're in the other person's lap.

11:13You can't recline.

11:14You don't get a cup holder.

11:16I have, like, a big laptop that I edit on, and it's not even...

11:20It's too wide to fit between the door.

11:22So, all I can do is play Minecraft on the iPad.

11:25A lot of Minecraft goes on in this van.

11:27Like, a lot of Minecraft.

11:29Coming on back here, I have to commend Dan.

11:33If this was filled up and organized, it would all be his responsibility.

11:37It does the best job packing.

11:39But I spend a lot of time back where Aaron's sitting right now, editing videos and working

11:45my day job.

11:46And if I'm napping, I'm only going to have my Lucky's headrest, for sure.

11:50It's quite stiff right now.

11:51And, yeah, something we noticed about the memory foam headrest is when it's really cold,

11:55like it is now in Chicago, they just get rock solid.

11:58They're going to rock hard.

12:01So, you know, you've got to kind of warm them up a little bit.

12:04We have a lot of good stuff back here, good lore stuff.

12:08We've been taking this acoustic guitar around the last 10,000 miles and playing our very

12:14overplayed Bite My Tongue riff on it.

12:17Just filming in about every location that we can.

12:19Either Aaron or I will hop out in a swamp, in a snowy field, wherever is vibey.

12:25Ooh, car crash.

12:26Yeah, car crash.

12:27Yeah.

12:28Well, we didn't do any car crashes, but we did drive past about 20 or 30 yesterday because

12:33we drove through a blizzard to get to Chicago.

12:35It was crazy.

12:37And then, Aaron, you care to explain this bad boy?

12:39Yeah, so usually I'll throw this in the van when we're all packed, like leaving for a tour.

12:44As the door is shutting, I'll just be like, put this in here so I can hopefully twist an

12:49ankle or something.

12:51But this helps me get around.

12:53I remember one time we all stopped at Dairy Queen and I didn't want to get Dairy Queen.

12:57Sonic.

12:58There, oh, Sonic, yeah.

12:59Even worse.

13:00There was a subway like half a mile away through a bunch of parking lots and I just booked

13:04it on this thing, so pretty helpful.

13:06Shout out Carver and Kai Lenny, I guess, because it's his signature board.

13:11We all have our various stims when the van stops, so I would say Aaron's is definitely

13:16hopping on the Carver and like laughing around the parking lot.

13:19You jump rope.

13:19I like to jump rope to pass the time.

13:21I don't have it in here right now.

13:23I would say Chelsea's always getting matcha.

13:26I've been making gas station matchas.

13:28Yeah, that's been really cool.

13:29Yeah, I've been bringing my own matcha powder and my, I think it's called chasen, like the

13:33matcha whisk, and I've been making it at the gas stations with coconut water and their

13:37coffee thing.

13:38And unfortunately, all of my matcha powder spilled in the hotel room today, so it's not

13:41in here.

13:42Yeah.

13:42And then when we stop, Dan, uh, Dan is like being responsible, getting gas or like making

13:49a little like a boy meal, oatmeal or something like that.

13:52Yeah, I want to talk about the boy meals.

13:54Yeah, I think this is a good.

13:55There's a food bag right here.

13:57Yeah.

13:57We have most of the food bags in the hotels, but I think this is a little like insight

14:01into the, uh, the boy meal experience.

14:03So, um, I've been banned from eating tuna in the car.

14:07Um, but when I, when I do, um, I like to, I got this teriyaki sauce and just put it

14:12straight

14:12in the can.

14:13And, um, it's a great way to, uh, you know, keep the macros on tour.

14:17Also great with tuna is this, uh, jalapeno Tabasco that I stole from a Chipotle in New York.

14:22It goes a long way.

14:24And then also I've realized on this tour, you really never need to pay for coffee because

14:27every gas station has like a hot water joint and I just fill up my mug and put some instant

14:31coffee in there.

14:33Um, but we're all like big fans or everyone except for Chelsea.

14:37Actually, our tour manager Val doesn't do it either.

14:40It's boy slop.

14:41It's for boys.

14:41We, we have an assortment of like groceries and stuff.

14:44That's like ridiculously easy to make, uh, that when we don't feel like spending money,

14:48um, and you know, we were all various degrees of nutrition filled on like protein and stuff.

14:55So it helps us do that.

14:57Yeah, definitely.

14:58Definitely rice, uh, canned chicken.

15:00Yeah, what's your usual boy slop go to?

15:02Well, so like typically what I'll do is I'll get some kind of rice, like the easiest ones

15:08in the hotel rooms are like the, the packets where you tear a little bit, you know, a minute

15:12and a half in, um, that with like a protein on top.

15:16And then, you know, if you have it, some kind of like vegetable or leaf of some kind, you

15:24know, you got it, you got to keep it balanced.

15:26Um, but yeah, I, I feel like the, the, the starch plus protein combo and just however you

15:31go.

15:32Frankie likes spam.

15:34None of us eat spam except for Frankie.

15:36Um, but yeah, canned chicken and canned tuna.

15:40It smells so fucking bad.

15:42It smells so bad.

15:43Andy does a lot of things in this van, um, but specifically the tuna is the worst.

15:49However, we actually found out recently that there is a snack that we all like that makes

15:53the van smell really good and it's cucumbers.

15:56We all just be eating like plain cucumbers and it makes the van smell like a spa.

16:00I'll say this, like, um, you know, we've all heard of hot boxing, but something that

16:05I've introduced to this band is like, you just take whatever word is going to smell like

16:08the van and it's like fry boxing.

16:10No one likes a fry box.

16:11No one likes a tuna box, but so far, cucumber boxing, cucumber boxing has been awesome because

16:17I'll just like smell it and I'll look back at Andrew and he's got like a, just chomping

16:21on it.

16:22So good.

16:23It smells like a spa in here.

16:24Yeah.

16:24I will say, I think the worst box is probably the jerky box.

16:28No, no, it's, it's the canned chicken box.

16:30I don't know, dude.

16:31The jerky's pretty bad.

16:32Yeah.
