Transcript
00:00I was charging some stuff with this and it was stuck and I yanked on it and the
00:04whole thing came out. If someone hits the brakes hard, this is my bed.
00:07That's why I sleep on this side because I'm under 5'10", we'll just say that.
00:38How's it going? We're Beartooth. This is our van, the Red Rocket. Welcome to it. Come check it out.
00:46Where we do all of the primary driving, sometimes we like to drive from the back.
00:51You know, that's what cruise control is for. Yeah, I mean it's pretty standard.
00:56This part, we found out the other day, comes off completely.
01:01We found that out because I was charging some stuff with this and it was stuck and I yanked on
01:07it and the whole thing came out.
01:09So we discovered that's what we're moving. Whether it should be or not.
01:14Yeah, we have a cool little $40 stereo from Best Buy in here.
01:19I actually installed that in the parking lot of the Best Buy.
01:23It does have an auxiliary though, so you can listen to an iPod.
01:26It's key. iPods are key because no one wants to listen to the radio.
01:29No.
01:30Yeah, it kind of made it look like we were stealing a stereo out of our own van that day,
01:35but it was fun.
01:37Back here, we got Caleb's currently just sitting on, this is where I sleep, this is my bed.
01:48Right here, if someone hits the brakes hard, this is my bed.
01:54Yeah, then we have a little dungeon area.
01:58We have a floor slash bed.
02:00Yeah, a floor slash bed.
02:01Pretty much this whole van is floor slash bed.
02:04It's a pull-out.
02:05Yeah, and anything in the van is whatever slash bed.
02:08Exactly.
02:10This is our pull-out futon.
02:14My pull-out futon, it's a couple of mattress pads, and this is where our merch guy Vassar sleeps.
02:20This is his domain.
02:21He used to sleep like width ways across, but then he realized that it was more comfortable if he packed
02:26all his pads over here.
02:27And he just sleeps in this little nook with his feet or head under my bed.
02:31Yeah.
02:31We have the, uh, we have our, you know, captain's chairs for one to drive in.
02:37We're trying to hang out.
02:38Maximum comfort.
02:40Or when we're sitting around.
02:40Yeah.
02:41You know, we try to keep it safe.
02:43We have a bunch of garbage bins throughout the van that nobody uses.
02:49They're there for aesthetic.
02:51As you can see, trash just all over the floor.
02:54Brendan's for real milkshake.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Here we have our bunk area.
02:59It's four bunks that our bass player Nick actually built completely.
03:03Uh, you know, he did it with a good friend of ours from home.
03:07There are curtains.
03:08They're sturdy.
03:10They're not moving anywhere.
03:11I honestly have no idea how he did it.
03:13Nick sleeps up here.
03:14Thank God for him.
03:15Caleb sleeps down here.
03:16I sleep in this bottom one over here.
03:18And then Cameron sleeps right in this one.
03:21Yeah.
03:21It's kind of funny though, because the way that they had to build them.
03:24The bunks on this side are actually longer than the ones on that side.
03:28So, unless you're under, like, 5'10", you can't sleep on that side.
03:33You can!
03:34It'll be very fun.
03:34That's why I sleep on this side.
03:36Because I'm under 5'10".
03:38We'll just say that.
03:39Yeah.
03:39My favorite thing about the Sprinter though, is unlike most fans, you can just stand up in it.
03:44So, it serves great for, like, wrestling matches or stage diving.
03:48More so peeing in bottles than anything.
03:50A little game we like to call, What Are You Doing?, where you just touch each other and do really
03:55weird stuff.
03:56You just figure out what they're doing.
03:57And then, of course, whenever Slipknot is turned on as loud as possible, then we start doing our stage dives
04:03and crowd searching.
04:04Yeah, this is the crowd.
04:05Yeah.
04:06This is the crowd.
04:07This is the stage.
04:09And then we just stage dive.
04:11But also, we do have power strips on the bottom bumps.
04:16Yeah.
04:17A little bit.
04:18Down here, in this mess of a bunk, we got power.
04:22We're living large.
04:24We got a little baby generator thing up there.
04:27And by generator, I mean a little power inverter that's like, I don't know how many watts, but it gets
04:33the job done.
04:34Yeah.
04:34You can charge your phones.
04:35You can charge your phones.
04:36You can charge your phones.
04:37That's about it, though.
04:38But, yeah.
04:38That's all you need.
04:39Yeah.
04:40And, um...
04:42That's about...
04:43That's the rig.
04:44Yeah.
04:45So, here's the trailer.
04:46This is Alice.
04:48He's not with us.
04:49He's with Peter, but he's gonna be soon.
04:52I could be.
04:53He could very well be.
04:55Uh, we got a bunch of Red Bull.
04:58It's Red Bull Records giving us that.
05:01Uh, yeah.
05:02When this is fully packed, it's pretty much not full.
05:06It's spread out as much as possible.
05:08That's why I'm here.
05:09We can't really stack any of our gear in our trailer because it's too big.
05:14So, we kind of just spread out all of our gear completely and then have merch on this side.
05:19And also some of the Featers' merch.
05:22Yeah.
05:22First day tour, we were like...
05:23Still not full.
05:24If there's anybody who needs to put anything in our trailer, go ahead.
05:27We have plenty of room.
05:29We really need to fill this up.
05:30We were gonna do the wall-off thing, but we just didn't.
05:34We got...
05:34After building the bunks, I think.
05:37Yeah.
05:37It was just like...
05:38We didn't want to build anymore.
05:41And this is...
05:42This is about literally all there is to show.
05:45Definitely.
05:46Red Rocket.
05:47Red Rocket.
05:48And...
05:48Regular combination.
05:50Yeah.
05:51So...
