FunTranscript
00:00Some underwear on the router the other day because we had no laundry for a couple days.
00:04As a bonus, it does have a window, which is unreal.
00:40What's going on? Come on in.
00:42What's up, guys? We're Driveways from Boston.
00:45We're playing tonight at Bottom Lounge in Chicago.
00:48We've been on tour now for about three weeks on our first big headlining tour.
00:54We've been in band for 10 years, so we're celebrating that.
00:57I'm Ryan. I play drums in the band.
01:00With that, with the guitar, and then you try to sing.
01:02Derek, play bass.
01:04As you can see, if you watched our last episode, we've upgraded now.
01:09Boys are moving up. Boys are moving up.
01:11We've got a nice Pullman now. Luxury.
01:14We'll show you a little bit around here.
01:15As you see, a little lounge here.
01:18Our couches. We've got two TVs here.
01:21Usually, this one is...
01:23We can't get this one to work.
01:26I don't know. It worked the first couple days.
01:27Now we're doing the work.
01:28Yeah, I like background music.
01:30It comes on.
01:30So just a clock, usually, or scenery.
01:34This one usually has YouTube videos on it,
01:37or Pat will be sitting here playing Doom for countless hours.
01:42And then the new Halo.
01:43Oh, a lot of Halo.
01:44Oh, and you and Pete play a lot of Madden in that.
01:47We smoke Pete a lot.
01:48I've got a couple things, you know, Pete's Switch.
01:51We've got a lot of Switches laying around.
01:52Michael. We've got Michael over there, dude.
01:54That's a big kid.
01:54Yeah, we've got a little fan gift here.
01:56Michael Myers, so it's pretty cool.
01:59He just stays right here, you know,
02:00just in case someone wants to try to get on the bus, you know?
02:03Baby Mikey.
02:04We've got all our cubbies up here.
02:06So we've got this is mine.
02:08A little shower caddy here.
02:10There's a couple dirty clothes back there.
02:12Some Coke, Red Bull.
02:16Let's see.
02:17Nice blue for Red Bull.
02:19Yeah.
02:20This is awesome.
02:21Mine, my backpack, my slippers on the way around the bus.
02:25What else do we got?
02:26We got...
02:26Oh, yeah, this is all my shit.
02:29This is Pat's.
02:30As you can see, some Xbox controllers.
02:34Ripped up bags of guitar strings.
02:36Tide Pods.
02:37Tide Pods, but eating.
02:40And we got all of our beautiful organized luggage right here, as you can see.
02:45It never falls out.
02:46It never falls out.
02:47It's fun.
02:48A little Mickey hat here.
02:50I think Kayla from Black Rose is about to wear this last night on stage.
02:54So this is a collector's item now.
02:56We got my duffel bag, my suitcase, Derek's suitcase, someone's sweatshirt,
03:01and then everything else from here on over is hats.
03:04Just a bunch of shit.
03:05As you can see, a lot of backpacks, hats, suitcase, dirty clothes.
03:12There's some dryer sheets here just when we do laundry.
03:15A couple handy.
03:16We always wake up and something is on the floor.
03:19Or most things.
03:20Most things are on the floor when we wake up.
03:22So, yeah, we got all the other companies here,
03:25which I actually don't know what's in this.
03:26Oh, the Xbox is still in there.
03:28Oh, Xbox stayed up there.
03:29I think that's another hat from Pat,
03:31so you never know what you're going to find from Pat hanging around here.
03:34Uh, just more stuff.
03:37Matts.
03:38Matts, yep.
03:38That's all Matts.
03:39Front of house.
03:40Can't skip over the Bath and Body Works.
03:44Football season, great scent.
03:45Got to get it while it's in season.
03:47Yep.
03:48Makes the bus smell okay.
03:49What else do we got?
03:50We got, oh, Derek's Healthies.
03:53My little snacks.
03:54Just a bunch of creatine.
03:55D's been out on a health journey.
04:00What else do we got?
04:01RX bars?
04:02Look at that.
04:03Some protein bars.
04:05Creatine.
04:06Fiber, because I'm really old.
04:09Sugar-free Oreos.
04:12Granola.
04:13What the fuck?
04:15Um, flavored creatine.
04:16K-cups.
04:18My vitamins.
04:23Protein bars from the UK.
04:25I mean, um, and I'm really proud of myself.
04:28I said I would take this as a, a desperate snack, and I've been three weeks without taking
04:33it, so, without eating it, so that's been great.
04:35This is our table here.
04:37As you can see, a lot of drinks just spread out.
04:40Most of these stay here all night long, and they will end up on the floor in the morning
04:44because it's super bumpy.
04:47Uh, we got some Stan's Donuts from Chicago.
04:50Went in Chicago.
04:51Another little fan gift.
04:53This is great.
04:53I put this on every night to go to sleep.
04:56A little nightlight.
04:56It's a good vibe.
04:57So, yeah, as you come out here.
04:59Um, we got Starbucks gift card.
05:02We got this for a fan gift.
05:03Thank you very much.
05:05Some more creatine.
05:07That's our driver's piece.
05:09Uh, let's see.
05:10We got up here, we have more snacks.
05:13We got a lot of snacks up here.
05:14We got trail mix, granola bars, Fruit Loops, more trail mix, pretzels.
05:25Always need these.
05:26A good pack of Sharpies.
05:28Put those over here, actually.
05:29What do we got in here?
05:30Uh-oh.
05:31Oh, yeah.
05:32Mystery bag.
05:33The Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets.
05:35Oh, no, dude.
05:36Can never, I don't think you can go on tour without going to Buc-ee's.
05:38Unopened.
05:39No, they are open, but the thing is, like, these are great for, like, three seconds.
05:45And then you never want to eat them again.
05:47But, like, they give you the gigantic bag.
05:48I just want a tiny little bag, but, hey, now we got them.
05:52As you want them.
05:53We were talking about, we upgraded from the old, uh, you know, Bustin' Beers to now, similar
05:58with the Ryder.
05:58What was our old Ryder?
05:59It used to be...
06:00Gummy Bears.
06:01Gummy Bears.
06:01Diet Coke.
06:02Diet Coke.
06:02Liquid Death.
06:03Liquid Death.
06:04Now we have a lot more.
06:05Now it's a little more.
06:06But, a lot of snacks.
06:07As you can see, a lot of trail mix in the Ryder.
06:09Uh, granola bars are on there, I believe.
06:11And as you see, the trail mix has been piling up, so.
06:13Uh, granola bars are almost gone, though, so that's good.
06:17Um, there's some pretzels in there.
06:20Those are good.
06:21We get chicken salad on the Ryder, so a little scoop, you know?
06:24Yeah, a lot of the Ryder.
06:24Fruit's on the Ryder, but that usually, you have to have that in the venue.
06:27Yeah.
06:27This cabinet, oh, let's see, do we have any?
06:32Cookies, yeah, yeah.
06:33Oh.
06:35Cash, what a bread in there.
06:37There's a few left.
06:38Oh, there's a couple left, yeah.
06:39Yeah.
06:40Driveways cookies.
06:41We played at the Marquee Theater in Denver the other night, and they gave us custom cookies.
06:46As you can see, they're all gone, almost.
06:49It was a lot.
06:50Now they're gone.
06:51Yeah, a bunch of bread that goes on the Ryder.
06:53Oh, yeah, so as we talked to the Ryder, yeah, that's...
06:56Bowl cuts was big on the Ryder.
06:57Bowl cuts was big for the first week, in that we had 20 pounds of cold cuts in the fridge
07:03that we had to throw away, because they just piled up so much.
07:06So there's a lot of bread, and there's nothing to put on the bread.
07:10So, Darry, this is your station over here.
07:13Oh, yeah, so right here we got the K-cup machine.
07:15Shout out to Angelo, my old man, who let me borrow this for the tour.
07:20Every morning, got to have a K-cup, so it just feels like home.
07:24But, yeah, it's really difficult to do it when it's driving, but I guess the job's done.
07:29And then I stick my hand under there, and it just burns.
07:31The little splashes just burn out.
07:33But, yeah, got to have a K-cup machine.
07:37Bought Bath & Body Works.
07:39I thought this was suitable for the band.
07:41And obviously some hand sanitizer.
07:43But, yeah.
07:45We go okay yet?
07:46Oh, yeah.
07:46This is like the little utensils, plates, and something like that.
07:50Which is very important.
07:52I think it's an overlooked aspect.
07:55That is, for sure.
07:56Yeah, but you do need that stuff.
07:59Yeah.
08:01That's the trash, man.
08:02The trash, yeah.
08:03Very important.
08:04Which I empty every 20 minutes, it seems like.
08:08Oh, this is an essential on the bus.
08:10Yes.
08:10Febreze.
08:12Because you got seven to nine people on here daily with their shoes off.
08:16You gotta spread the bus constantly.
08:18Sticks.
08:18Awesome.
08:19Sticks.
08:19This is the fridge.
08:20There it is.
08:21The fridge.
08:22This is very interesting stuff in here.
08:25A lot, yeah.
08:26A lot of leftovers.
08:28Definitely a hodgepodge and stuff.
08:31Some soup that someone didn't throw away.
08:34Disgusting.
08:34We've got the Chilbani, though.
08:35The coffee creamer.
08:37A lot of coffee.
08:37Pat, Pete, and I love the iced coffee, so.
08:40As you can see, it's very not organized at all.
08:45We got some condiments, some fruit, white claws, some beer.
08:51Mixed with some soda.
08:53Yeah, some salsa, some mayonnaise.
08:56Then we got the drawers we've got in here.
09:00Celsius.
09:02These are the essentials right here.
09:04We need the white monster on the rider, 100%.
09:06The random part is light.
09:10And like the last video, we're still ripping the chomps.
09:13Yeah, the chomps.
09:13Still ripping the chomps.
09:14Chomps in the fridge, too.
09:16There was a significant coffee spill in here the other day.
09:20Ryan cleaned it up.
09:21And it spilled again, though.
09:22As you can see, there's coffee currently spilled in the fridge.
09:26So that needs to be cleaned.
09:27There's Dutch Bros, right?
09:29Yes, the Dutch Bros.
09:31The lid.
09:31It's now all of the lid.
09:32A lot of coffee.
09:33Yeah.
09:34You know, some Coke Zeroes.
09:36Some people's leftovers.
09:37Yeah.
09:40Make Bucky's Ice.
09:41Bucky's Ice.
09:42Oh, this is our tour manager, Paul's.
09:44He got this one and said,
09:46Hey, my future self will be very happy one day.
09:48And he still hasn't found this.
09:50He still hasn't cashed in.
09:51I know.
09:52Someone put this in there.
09:53Like weeks ago, and they refused to take it out.
09:56Nobody has admitted that they put it in there.
09:58Yeah.
09:59Random Uncrustable.
10:01What's that we got here?
10:02Oh, okay.
10:03Oh, here we go.
10:04I didn't even know what's in it.
10:05What do we got in here?
10:08Peanut butter cups.
10:11A banquet chicken pie.
10:16More Uncrustables.
10:17Chicken Brogan Ziti.
10:18Yeah.
10:19More Uncrustables.
10:20Big Uncrustable van.
10:21Good stage snack.
10:22The Uncrustable.
10:23A lot of protein bowls.
10:25We got these on the rider the other day, too.
10:27Healthy choice.
10:28Oh, that was great.
10:29All right.
10:30So these are the first three bunks you see.
10:33We use this kind as a junk bunk right now,
10:37which is just a lot of random stuff.
10:40We got some underwear on the rider the other day
10:42because we had no laundry for a couple days.
10:46So they've yet to be opened.
10:48So they weren't that desperate, apparently.
10:52A lot of other stuff in here.
10:54Hats.
10:54A lot of hats.
10:56Bags.
10:57I don't even know who the stuff this is, to be honest.
10:59And then one of our friends just joined us up for the tour.
11:03So he'll take this bunk over.
11:05So we'll have to clear all this stuff up.
11:06Down here we got right now our bass tech.
11:11Tom kind of runs playback and bass tech and guitar tech for us.
11:15So he's down here.
11:17And then this is my bunk down here all the way.
11:19For the first two and a half weeks I was out here by myself.
11:23It was great.
11:24Now people are joining me.
11:25But, you know, I always watch these videos and I always say,
11:29Oh man, I want someone to get in one of these to see how it is.
11:31Well, I'm going to show you.
11:32All right.
11:32So this is how you get in the bottom here.
11:35You're going to just kind of...
11:35It's a pro demonstration.
11:36Kind of scoop yourself in like this.
11:38And just boom.
11:40And now you're in.
11:42And this is how it is.
11:43So yeah, it's nothing too great.
11:45You get a fan, a couple pillows.
11:47And that's it.
11:48A little coffin, you know.
11:49And then I also have a little mattress protector here.
11:52Oh, that's nice, buddy.
11:53So a little foam mattress protector.
11:55Kind of hidden right there.
11:57So that's great.
11:59That's how we do it.
12:00It's rolling in and out.
12:01Try not to fall out when you're driving.
12:02This is where everyone else sleeps.
12:06A little tight.
12:08It's a little tight.
12:08It's a little tight back here.
12:10So just because it's a little tight,
12:12I'm going to do what Ryan did.
12:13I'm going to get inside the bunk here.
12:14So I'm bottom down here.
12:16Like Ryan.
12:18I got a little mattress topper thing from Amazon.
12:21I don't know.
12:22There's a couple fans in here that are pretty nice.
12:24They keep you cool.
12:25One thing I did get, this is a pro move.
12:27Got this coolant blanket.
12:29Pretty good.
12:30And I have my one big fucking USB-C charger for my phone.
12:37That's your...
12:37Oh, my headphones.
12:38Got my headphones.
12:40That's really it.
12:41Oh, a little bottle of water back here.
12:43Yeah.
12:44And then usually, if you get up in the middle of the night, if you have to pee or something,
12:47you get up and the bus is moving and you fall over.
12:49And it's really humbling.
12:51That's my bunk.
12:53What about yours, Dean?
12:53Yeah, the next one up, that's me.
12:56Obviously, nice and neat and clean.
12:58Unlike these other animals.
13:00But, yeah, I need a body pillow.
13:02I need three pillows to sleep.
13:04I decorated it with a picture of my kids over there.
13:08A little Polaroid.
13:11But, yes.
13:12Got my backpack in here.
13:14If anybody does watch this video, I'm going to say this is the easiest bunk to probably get in and
13:20out.
13:21And, as a bonus, it does have a window.
13:25Which is unreal.
13:26It's unreal.
13:27You just look out the window.
13:30Get some good scenery.
13:32Views.
13:34It's better than looking at nothing.
13:36That's my opinion.
13:37But, moving on.
13:38This is our front of house, Matt's bunk.
13:41He, uh...
13:42Pretty clean up there.
13:43Yeah, he washes his bunk.
13:44It's very awesome.
13:45He's got, like, a little tablet right there to watch TV.
13:47It's pretty nice.
13:50Um...
13:51This is our tour manager, Paul's bunk.
13:55Um...
13:56A little gaming console right there.
13:58Just kind of pillow and blanket.
14:02This is our merch guy's bunk, Joe.
14:04He's also got the little, uh...
14:07Window situation going on.
14:09And then, our driver, Pete, sleeps down here.
14:12And, he usually sleeps during the day.
14:14And, we just are loud and we probably annoy him all day long.
14:16But, he's great.
14:18So, he drives us everywhere.
14:19Gets us there nice and safe.
14:21So, our tour manager, Paul, is the goat.
14:23And, he bought this shoe wrap for us.
14:25So, there's a place for everyone to put their shoes in it.
14:27We've got powder.
14:28We've got shoe spray.
14:29It gets disgusting pretty quick.
14:30But, we've been doing a pretty, uh...
14:32Decent job making it smell less gross.
14:34And, then, this is the bathroom.
14:37It's nice, but it's a little...
14:40It gets gross quick.
14:41You'd be surprised.
14:42But, yeah.
14:43If you come in here...
14:44So, these towels usually start, uh...
14:46Hung up on here and over here.
14:49And, then, by the end of the drive, wherever we go, they're all over the floor.
14:52Just like everything else.
14:53The soap gets knocked around.
14:55But, the shower is, you know, pretty good.
