FunTranscript
00:00One day, I'm going to pull up on a fish on this tour.
00:02Got a suitcase in the way.
00:04I'm assuming that's Mike's because it's the biggest on the wagon.
00:07Two up and moving the ball.
00:09Yeah, that's very inspirational and that's kept us going through a lot of shit.
00:43Come on in.
00:45Yo, what's up?
00:46I'm Skylar at your Vocals and Barrels.
00:48I'm Sean.
00:48I play drums.
00:49And this is our home for the next month and a half.
00:53Over here, we've got our kitchen.
00:55We've got half-drink water bottles.
00:57My lemonade from maybe like 20 minutes ago.
01:01I have no idea what coffee that is.
01:03MacBook charger, coffee creamer, coffee cups, air fryer with nothing in it.
01:09Now you get a nice bagel in the morning and you just pop it in there.
01:12You let it just warm up in the air fryer while it's heating up to the right temperature.
01:17Perfect toasting ability right there.
01:19That's all you need.
01:21Yeah, we got some tequila.
01:24We like to have a couple drinks every night after the set, you know, on the drive.
01:30We got these socks the other day from St. Andrews Hall.
01:33It was a sold-out show.
01:36Good talk.
01:38I've got my Colombian Coffee Grounds.
01:41It's really cheap, but it gets the job done.
01:44Up here, we've got our TV, which we have yet to use because it's so fucking bumpy in these things.
01:52This is an extra display because Michael hyperfocuses on his laptop like 95% of the time and he can't
01:59get off of it.
01:59He literally fell asleep on the couch holding it last night right there.
02:04He's for sure a laptop guy.
02:06Why don't you give him the real reason you got that?
02:08No, no, no, no.
02:10I love this guy, my spare MacBook, my old MacBook.
02:14Within 48 hours, somehow the screen breaks.
02:16So he has to use that as a portable display.
02:19But he brought it for a reason.
02:20He brought it for a reason.
02:21He did break the laptop.
02:25PS5 controller, no PS5.
02:28I'm not sure what these are.
02:29In here is where we keep our set list.
02:35Yeah, so we grab these every single day.
02:39And this is where we take the stage.
02:41Got a suitcase in the way.
02:42I'm assuming that's Mike's because it's the biggest on the wagon.
02:45All right, we got our fridge right here.
02:47Pop it open.
02:49Refrigerated things, dude.
02:50Check this out.
02:52Ah, I thought that was just regular Chick-fil-A sauce.
02:54But we got some different flavors in here.
02:57Zesty Buffalo sauce from Chick-fil-A.
02:59Can't go wrong with that.
03:01You got hummus.
03:03You know, you got ketchup here.
03:05A funny thing about this bottle, right?
03:07I have a keystone on my knuckle, which represents Pennsylvania.
03:11A lot of people ask me if I have the Heinz ketchup logo tattooed on my finger.
03:15And I'm going to just start saying, yeah, I do, dude.
03:17It's fucking sick, isn't it?
03:20We got ginger ale.
03:23Raspberries.
03:25And a bunch of other random assortments and things in here.
03:27You know, wine.
03:28Feeling a little frisky.
03:31Carrots.
03:33Help your eyes, man.
03:34You know, wine is out.
03:35I didn't even know if carrots when I was a kid.
03:37Up here, we got the freezer.
03:40We got waffles.
03:43Other things for the air fryer.
03:48Yeah, that's the fridge.
03:51Well, in here we got plates, silverware, extra chips, coffee maker.
03:57Keep you energized when you wake up.
04:00Yeah, okay, here's an actual thing.
04:02So, we found these, right?
04:03Well, Michael found these.
04:04So, when you get an air fryer for your bandwagon, you get one of these nice things.
04:08You pop this out.
04:11And then you put your food in this into the air fryer, because we already know how much
04:15of a pain in the ass would be to try to clean this thing on tour.
04:17So, this, like, actually, like, being for real, like, if you get an air fryer, invest in some
04:23of these bad boys right here, it'll help you out a lot.
04:25Yeah, we got some hacks going on.
04:27We got, like, the Gorilla Grip, whatever this is.
04:30We got the parchment paper for the air fryer.
04:32We got the little, like, silverware.
04:35The all, like, little individual ones so it doesn't fly around.
04:38Keep that OCD in check.
04:41Some random miscellaneous shit.
04:44Just water spray here.
04:47Fucking short.
04:49Up in these cabinets, we got bread, bagels, me and Sean's portable fishing rod.
04:55It's because, like, on the off days, shout-out, Morgan, for getting those.
04:59Where my real anglers at, right?
05:01Y'all thought I was playing.
05:02Hold on.
05:04One day, I'm going to pull up on a fish on this tour.
05:07Check me out, right?
05:09Right behind the goddamn bagels.
05:12The ride, man.
05:16I keep seeing that dude on Instagram who makes the rapping diss tracks about fishing.
05:21Pull up on me, bro.
05:23I'll outfish you any day.
05:25Got my little reel right here.
05:26You slap that on there.
05:27That's all you need.
05:28Go get you a hog out on the creek somewhere.
05:32I do have one thing before we, like, push back this way.
05:36So every day we wake up, it depends on who it wants to be.
05:39But we always go in here and we pop one of these guys.
05:45These things are, like, basically, like, daily inspiration carts.
05:50So I'll let the man behind the cam grab one.
05:56And then you just pop it.
05:59A possibility was born the day you were born and it will live as long as you live.
06:04That's a good one.
06:05That's actually one of the best ones we've had.
06:07So we grab this and then we come over here.
06:11Stick it right in there.
06:12Week one's almost done.
06:13So then we'll put those back and collect them.
06:17And then this is all our, like, caps for how many drinks we've had.
06:20Obviously, when you get fucked up and hammered, you don't really think to keep putting them in there.
06:24We're trying our best just so we've been tuned up.
06:28So this is this right here is, like, the staple quote of this band.
06:33Do up, moving they ball.
06:36Yeah, that's very inspirational and that's kept us going through a lot of shit.
06:41Yeah, I mean, up here in these other cabinets, you've got an assortment of snacks.
06:47Mike's extra hoodie.
06:49Shane's coffee.
06:51He probably hides because he wants to drink all of mine and then make me buy more.
06:57I don't know what's in that cabinet.
06:59This?
06:59Yeah.
07:00Or just, like, snacks?
07:01Yeah, just random miscellaneous shit, you know.
07:05Extra storage, jackets, shit like that.
07:07This is Dylan.
07:09He's our media guy.
07:10He works at a company called MidVessel.
07:12They do all of our music videos, media content, et cetera, et cetera.
07:16He's a great dude.
07:17He's working hard.
07:19Got the thinking cap on.
07:20My thinking cap.
07:21Yeah, so every day we wake up, it's like the tooth fairy hits.
07:26But it's a per diem fairy.
07:29So we'll wake up with extra money in our envelopes to make sure we're nice and full for the day.
07:35Or you can use it for whatever you like.
07:38I don't know what anybody uses their money for except when we all go out to eat together.
07:42Whiteboard.
07:43This is just to-do list shit.
07:45Like it says, we had to do lights today.
07:48That's every day.
07:50Check the lights because we were having some troubleshooting problems.
07:53Had to get a video done by 3 p.m. to post on Instagram.
07:56Bah, bah, bah.
07:57Keep the marker up here so we know exactly where it's at.
08:02This is the thermostat.
08:03So if you want it nice and cool, you turn it to the left.
08:05And if you want it blazing hot like a fucking volcano, you go all the way to the right.
08:09Normally we like to pop that on for maybe four minutes.
08:12We got more essentials back here.
08:15Sleeping situations.
08:17I keep these on me.
08:19Go birds.
08:20Can't wait to pull up to a Buc-ee's in Texas and post a picture of my feet and say,
08:25fuck the cowboys.
08:27How did you obtain the big bump?
08:28I have like a mild sleeping disorder.
08:31And I tried sleeping up here and it didn't work out too well and I felt crazy the next day.
08:36So I took the big bump.
08:38So usually this is like a couch.
08:39There's like cushions behind it and stuff.
08:41But I got lucky because usually I always get the worst sleeping situation.
08:44But somehow I want the jackpot on this tour.
08:47I got this big Taj Mahal looking fucking thing.
08:50So we'll master that.
08:52This is everybody's junk up here.
08:55But yeah, when we have friends come to see us in the next few weeks, we're going to have to
08:59figure out what to do with that.
09:02It's neat and tidy for now.
09:03Right here, this is where our boy Kags normally sleeps.
09:07He's another media person from Mid-Vestival.
09:10He's a great dude.
09:11Every night we dap each other up from right here because Mike's still probably out on the couch working.
09:17This is Mike's bunk.
09:18Oh, Grandpa Sparky, you're a little thirsty.
09:22Oh, good man.
09:24You okay?
09:25Yeah, he likes to just kind of pop around and shit.
09:29But yeah, we'll leave him be.
09:31He's got some shit to attend.
09:32This is my bunk down here.
09:34I like being the lowest on the floor because it's easier for me to roll out.
09:38I'm kind of like a wide man, so hopping up and down was not in my favor.
09:45This is Mike's charging station that he let me borrow because he's a good friend and he always has to
09:50help me with literally everything because I can't keep up with my own shit.
09:55I've got my bed vape and then I've got my pocket vape that Sean gave me because he didn't want
10:00it.
10:01Over here, this is Chris, our sound guy's bunk.
10:05He's always in bed like pretty early after we like load out.
10:09Might have a couple beers and chill for a little bit before bus call.
10:13This is Shane's bunk.
10:14If I could piss on this thing, I fucking would.
10:17Just fuck that guy.
10:18I'm just kidding.
10:19Love Shane.
10:21All right, Shane sleeps right there.
10:22And then we got Dylan's bunk right here.
10:25See these guys' little fucking schna...
10:28They're literally called schnax.
10:30I don't...
10:31What the fuck are these?
10:32This is the first gluten-free pastry I think I've ever found.
10:35That's insane.
10:36They look good.
10:39And yeah, that's the bunk area.
10:41All right, so on to the bathrooms and shower.
10:44This is our toilet area.
10:48Oh, Grandpa's...
10:49I can't take a shower here!
10:50Look up!
10:53He's just everywhere all at once.
10:55Yeah, we'll just leave him in there for a bit.
10:58This is our shoe rack.
10:59We try to be organized.
11:01Normally, like our daily wares we'll put in here because they tend to fucking reek.
11:05I'll wake up in the middle of the night, maybe spray a little cologne so it doesn't get too bad.
11:10See if anybody's in there.
11:13Nobody seems to be.
11:14So yeah, this is our shower room over here.
11:18We got our sink.
11:19Normally, we just have one water bottle because we don't like to use the water, but you gotta like pour
11:24water on your toothbrush spit and shit.
11:54Looks like somebody's in the shower right now.
11:56Hey, Grandpa.
11:57Where are you, Grandson?
11:59Okay.
12:01And yeah, that's it.
12:03Yeah, we're at Varials from Philadelphia.
12:05Our new record, Where the Light Leaves, is out now.
12:07We're on tour with Bolt Cutter, Unity, and Heavy Hitter.
12:11Like I said, we're out for the next month or so, so feel free to come out to any of
12:15the shows and come kick it with us.
12:17Say what's up.
12:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:18Fuck, Grandpa Sparky.
12:19Get off.
12:19I don't want to be around anymore.
12:21Get off.
12:21Get off, Grandpa.
12:23Thanks for checking out our bus.
12:25We'll see you guys next time.
12:47We'll see you next time.
12:48Bye.
