00:00I will fall asleep at the wheel if somebody is not telling me a story.
00:03I would not recommend using an amp to sleep on, but in desperate times.
00:35Hey, I'm Hunter, and we're in Chase Petra, in the tour, of course, of summer school, 2026, all around the
00:45U.S., five bands, so happy to be out here with all of them, and this is our band.
00:55So, right now, there's only three of us on the crew.
00:59So, we split it up as much as possible.
01:01As much as possible.
01:02Yeah, it's like two to three hours per person, usually.
01:07No co-chair rules.
01:10It's like, when you're not driving, nap time.
01:13Nap time.
01:14Nap time on your phone.
01:15Put your headphones on.
01:17Driver takes control of the odds, listens to whatever they want.
01:20Whatever.
01:21So, Ciara, for me, what I listen to, I'm very, my music tastes is all over the place, but lately
01:27I've been more, like, in the goth realm, so shout-out to my homie, Casca Cassette, favorite album right now,
01:34Reducer, and also, I'll, like, mix it up a bit, like, I'll listen to soul music, or listen to, like,
01:40some shoogays, but, yeah, that's my main go-to's for this guy.
01:45I really like when Ciara drives, because it's, like, for me, it feels like good music to nap to.
01:52Um, I, sometimes I just put, well, put all of my life songs on shuffle.
01:58Um, I've been listening to, uh, Julia Wolfe's album on repeat a lot.
02:05I listen to music really loud, so I'm also not a great person to drive while you want to nap,
02:12but it is what it is.
02:14And at night time, audiobooks, because I will fall asleep at the wheel if somebody is not telling me a
02:21story.
02:23So I'm a romantic-y girly, you know what I mean?
02:26I like sci-fi, I like fantasy.
02:28I recently, I've been listening to, uh, The Night and the Moth, because I've heard really good things about it,
02:34and I'm only, like, two chapters in, so the jury's still out.
02:39But I've learned a few words, which feels like a good sign.
02:43Yes.
02:46We wanted to stay true to life, so we did not clean.
02:51Uh, we've got, this is empty.
02:54A lot of empty bottles up front.
02:56There's a lot of, hey, Giovanni, um, give it to me.
03:01Anyways, we've been drinking a lot.
03:04This is a bag of random, like, just, like, what if you need that?
03:09Like, I want to say scissors.
03:10Um, oh, yeah, you know what I mean.
03:12We got vitamin C up here.
03:15Also, Uncrustables.
03:16For the atmosphere, that's here.
03:19It has, uh, some plastic plants.
03:22I always, I like putting fake plants up front, because it just makes it feel more...
03:27Oh.
03:29We've got a huge bucket of blueberries.
03:32Freshly picked.
03:32Oh, there's a hair in it.
03:34Don't worry about it.
03:35Um, we picked these yesterday, so they're still good.
03:38Would you like some?
03:43They're pretty, they're, they're quite good.
03:46They'll probably be bad tomorrow.
03:49But that's fine.
03:51Um, that on day.
03:54Sweet gummy clusters.
03:57Another half-drinking water bottle.
04:00Gum.
04:02Mints.
04:03Trash.
04:06Stickers.
04:07Sunscreen.
04:11Aquivore.
04:14Even though we have trash bags over there, our trash is still, you know, just spread out.
04:22Yeah, we have antibacterial hand wipes, a first aid kit.
04:27What's in here?
04:28Cups.
04:30And some cutlery.
04:31Cutlery and some scissors.
04:33And one packet of salt and pepper.
04:36You never know.
04:37You never know.
04:38It's where it gets good.
04:41They're the fucking Dunkin' Donuts.
04:44This is just like the...
04:46This...
04:47We're trying to talk about as many brands as possible.
04:49So if any of them feel like hitting us up, we're broke.
04:53So, anyways.
04:56So this is, even though we're not supposed to, this is like our number one laying spot.
05:01And then as well as back there.
05:04That's nap time.
05:05Nap time.
05:06Our friend bought some cutlery.
05:08We have two pillows on deck.
05:10The Buc-ee's.
05:12Sweaters.
05:13My personal favorite.
05:14The Capybara, a.k.a. Chupacabra.
05:17Chupacabra.
05:18Drying bathing suits.
05:20Yeah, drying.
05:20Kind of wherever.
05:22Yoga mat.
05:23You never know when you need to stretch.
05:26We've got weights and colored markers?
05:31Yeah.
05:31We've got markers for coloring.
05:32We have a stash of coloring books under here.
05:34We've got Red Bulls.
05:35We've got free Red Bulls from some venue.
05:38And then someone's emergency meal.
05:41Those are my stir-fry style noodles.
05:43These are our coloring books.
05:45Coloring books on deck.
05:48Cats.
05:49A couple of books.
05:49And a couple of books.
05:52We've got some food bins underneath there.
05:56And also shoes.
05:58Like a lot of shoes.
05:59So, haven't been down here in a while.
06:02We have collagen packets.
06:03Marshmallows.
06:04Pocky.
06:05Oh, a colored marker.
06:08A couple of Ritz crackers.
06:10A bunch of granola bars.
06:13Yerba Madre.
06:15Which I actually don't know what the difference between Mate and Madre is.
06:20And I think there's another one.
06:25Pretzels.
06:26Pretzels.
06:27And graham crackers.
06:31And oftentimes, I forget that these things are actually here.
06:35So, whoopsie daisies.
06:38Pretzels were left over from the Ryder.
06:41Uncrestables.
06:42That's Ryder.
06:43That's Ryder.
06:46I think everything.
06:48Mostly we.
06:48The Chubanis we have on our Ryder.
06:50Yeah.
06:50But mostly we eat the Ryder.
06:52Before we come back into the van each night.
06:55We used to take some, if we had like leftover apples or bananas, we would take them.
07:01But then we accumulated too many apples and bananas.
07:07Yeah.
07:10Except for blueberries.
07:11Except for our bin of blueberries.
07:14So, this is actually where I store this little spot.
07:19It's where my amp goes.
07:21It's a tiny amp.
07:22So, it is actually perfectly flush.
07:24And I would not recommend using an amp to sleep on.
07:28But in desperate times.
07:30So, we keep the amp here.
07:32We stuff our blankets into the little seat belt.
07:37Because they stick out.
07:39And stab us.
07:40We've got bruises.
07:41So, see this?
07:43And then also under these seats.
07:46Yeah.
07:47This is where the shoes go.
07:49Shoes.
07:53Shoes.
07:54Too.
07:56Shoes.
07:57Too many.
07:58Shoes.
08:00And I've discovered some liquid ice cream.
08:02Like what I.
08:03So, we're.
08:05I wouldn't call us a type A.
08:08Group.
08:09No.
08:14It's basically.
08:16So, we don't have a trailer on this tour.
08:19We're fairly lucky to be a small enough crew.
08:23And to be sharing gear in a way that we didn't have to.
08:27That means that we can like.
08:29We go through drive-thrus.
08:30We park anywhere we want.
08:32It's awesome.
08:34But that means that literally everything.
08:36Personal items.
08:37Merch.
08:38Gear.
08:38All goes in the back.
08:40So, it's just.
08:41Every day it's like a different order.
08:43We have like a different system.
08:45Trash.
08:46Just a thing of trash.
08:48All right.
