00:00Somebody got in a car crash!

00:02I'm not gonna say who!

00:03You never know when you're gonna get squirted on.

00:06Anything can happen. You can get squirted on right now.

00:34Hey, what's up? It's The Missing Piece.

00:36We're here on our summer 2026 co-headline tour with Blanket.

00:42I'm Lazarus. I'm Luciano.

00:44Yeah, we're gonna take you on the tour of the van today.

00:47Let me just show you around what we got going on. Let's go.

00:49Yeah, so per usual, we have Max here up.

00:53Passenger Princess extraordinaire right here.

00:57He likes to put his feet up right on the dash.

01:00I like to take naps.

01:01That's how Max sits usually.

01:04Max is in hell when I am right here in the driver's seat.

01:08Everyone's in hell when you're driving, bro.

01:10I have basically a death wish.

01:12My goal is to go as fast as humanly possible in a van without getting in a crash.

01:17So that has been nixed, unfortunately.

01:19So I'm banned from driving.

01:21Alright, well, okay. We gotta talk about Nico's driving.

01:24Best driver in the band right here.

01:26Nico is most certainly not the best driver in the band.

01:31He maybe would be top two, top three if he could not physically drive without scrolling Instagram reels at the

01:39same time.

01:41He has his phone right here.

01:43You don't deserve to make this comment.

01:45You do the same shit.

01:46Yeah, you do the same shit.

01:46Okay, I be doing the same shit, but this is Nico's classic.

01:50Actually, so what Nico does is he takes off his shoes, he puts one foot right here, and he has

01:56his phone Instagram reels going right here.

01:59Sometimes, if we're lucky, he'll, you know, snap a quick flick.

02:03But I'm not going fast, though.

02:04I'm not going fast like you are.

02:05I drive safe while I'm doing it.

02:07You know, alright, well, you know, the unsolicited feet pics on the dash is an added bonus.

02:12Yeah.

02:13I think, who else?

02:15Andy.

02:15Andy's a stable driver.

02:17Yeah.

02:17I don't think Andy has ever driven the van before, right?

02:21You have?

02:22Once.

02:23Yeah, once.

02:23And guess what?

02:24It's not memorable because it's relaxed.

02:26Yeah, it's relaxed.

02:27You're right.

02:28So that does make Andy the best driver because, you know, we have no qualms.

02:32Me, I'm second best, you know.

02:33I'm a little blind.

02:35I wear contacts, so sometimes at night, like, I miss exits.

02:39I miss an exit.

02:39I be missing the exits, and that's okay.

02:41You're going on the wrong side of the highway.

02:43That's okay.

02:44As long as, like.

02:45I drove on the wrong side of the highway.

02:46No, that happened one time.

02:47That happened one time.

02:48I never crashed the van, though.

02:50Somebody, somebody got in a car crash.

02:53No, not a crash.

02:53I'm not going to say who.

02:55I'm not going to say who got in a car crash.

02:57It was not a crash, bro.

02:59Max did crash the van.

03:00No.

03:01Max was involved in damage to the van on two occasions.

03:06On two occasions.

03:07On two occasions.

03:07One time where it seemed like Max scratched a lady's car in a parking lot.

03:16And the, I guess the person was distraught that there was this damage.

03:23So, Max physically went with, with the woman.

03:28Like, driving around to figure out how to fix the car.

03:32Am I, am I telling this story wrong?

03:34I went to the bank with her, too.

03:36Max, Max went to the bank.

03:37I gave her $4,900.

03:39He had to pay her for some stupid little scratch on their Lexus, bro.

03:43Yeah.

03:43That was so funny when I heard that.

03:45I was like, just send her the money.

03:47Why, why did you go with her?

03:49With the person who you scratched the van.

03:53So, yeah.

03:53That blew, dude.

03:54Seven grand in the tank.

03:56Because of some little scratch on some suburban mom's Lexus, dude.

03:59Yeah.

04:00It'd be like that, bro.

04:01Seven grand.

04:02It happened.

04:02Listen to Dax's album.

04:04Top three.

04:05Dax on repeat.

04:08You know Miles.

04:09When we play, you know, it's on like 50 volumes.

04:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:13Who else?

04:15And Dave Bluntz.

04:16Dave Bluntz.

04:17Dave Bluntz, classic.

04:18Shout out, Dave.

04:20Or maybe.

04:21Long time homer.

04:24Fan of the show.

04:26Yeah.

04:27Don't we have like a, we have like a jam.

04:29Like people can queue up some stuff.

04:31Yeah.

04:31We just figured out how to do a jam.

04:33How to do a Spotify jam.

04:35Which was like, usually it would be, I guess.

04:38Was it the passenger could pick the music?

04:40Nah, it's always the driver.

04:41It was the driver could pick the music.

04:43Yeah.

04:43But then we, we got a little fed up.

04:45Cause Niko would drive a lot.

04:47And he, he just would.

04:49Bro.

04:49He wouldn't play normal music.

04:51Like he would just be playing.

04:52You're saying that cause you don't like Ken Carson, bro.

04:54No, no.

04:55He's, I mean, Ken is cool.

04:56Yeah.

04:57That's what I'm talking about.

04:58What are you talking about?

04:59He's obsessed with playing like, you know, or like.

05:02Mmm.

05:02You know, like.

05:03He likes that meme shit.

05:04Yeah, he likes meme music.

05:05But it's keeping him awake though.

05:05It's keeping him awake.

05:07I guess it's keeping him awake.

05:07Cause that's what we need.

05:08We need, we need drivers that's going to stay awake and not crash the car.

05:11Actually, that's also a funny story.

05:13Right.

05:13Niko and I recently drove straight through from DC to Mobile, Alabama.

05:20And I was like, Niko, I'll take over.

05:24Like hour, hour like, hour 10 I'll take over.

05:27I'll do like, you know, the rest of it.

05:29Whatever.

05:29So at hour 10, I take over.

05:31And within 30 minutes, I'm falling asleep at the wheel.

05:34Like I cannot stay awake.

05:35And so I was like, dude, I can't do this.

05:38So then Niko took back over and just drove us the whole way.

05:41But, so I, I bitched out.

05:43I couldn't do it.

05:44I couldn't do it.

05:45Niko is the, is the lock-in king.

05:47I will say that.

05:48Niko can do long drives.

05:50The 20 hour, the 21 hour.

05:53Those are pretty, that's pretty nutty.

05:55That as well.

05:56That would make me suicidal.

05:57Like without, without stopping?

05:58Like you don't sleep or nothing?

05:59You just keep driving?

06:00Nah, I just, I just keep it up, you know?

06:02Nah, you sleep, bro.

06:03You sleep.

06:03That's what the scrolling, there's where the scrolling comes in.

06:06The scrolling does not help with that, bro.

06:07The scrolling, it's like a dopamine hit.

06:09It's like, you know, you know, when you do like cocaine, for example.

06:12And we don't, you know, we don't endorse that.

06:14But like, you know, it's like a dopamine hit to your brain.

06:16New, new scroll, new meme.

06:18Yeah.

06:19You know?

06:19So it's like a boom boom stick.

06:21Yeah.

06:21It's like a boom boom.

06:22Yeah.

06:23Niko got me this as a gift.

06:24I forget why.

06:25Yeah, I got, I got that as a gift for Max.

06:27Let's play a song.

06:27What's a song you can play along to?

06:29Well, I gotta, wait.

06:30You gotta tell the story.

06:31Tell the Lord.

06:32So like, you know, I love Max.

06:35Like, I love Max so much.

06:37And one thing that I know really like, you know, that, that, that really makes him feel

06:43fuzzy is when he can play around with sounds.

06:45So we was in Guitar Center, we were getting strings, picks and everything for tour and I saw that.

06:49And I wanted to surprise him to make him feel, to make him feel good.

06:54Anyway.

07:01Classic.

07:03Easy.

07:04Boom.

07:04And also make her, uh.

07:08Hey, yo.

07:09Bro.

07:11Bro, you gotta be skilled.

07:12You know.

07:13He's trying to make him moan.

07:14That's level four.

07:15That's level four.

07:16Yeah.

07:19I did little birds one time.

07:25That's good.

07:25The bird is subbed.

07:26Yeah.

07:27Here's where the power bank lives.

07:28This is where everybody charges their phones.

07:31Um, Laz is usually in the back watching hentai.

07:33So we plug in his, on his iPad.

07:36So we plug in his iPad using the power bank.

07:38I'm watching anime.

07:39It's not hentai.

07:40It's thiant.

07:41There's a difference.

07:42What else?

07:43Uh, we got this burger here.

07:45There's a little bit of a story behind it.

07:46This is a rubber burger from 7-Eleven.

07:49Uh, every time we stop to get gas, we have a tradition where I get Laz, the most diabolical

07:54thing in the gas station.

07:55Uh, whether it's like a chili cheese, like double spicy bite or something like that.

08:00So this I kind of got as like a memoriam to that tradition.

08:04Uh, and like that.

08:05So we keep it in here sort of as like a totem.

08:07I'm going to say my favorite was like the double shaboing boing, uh, chili cheese dog

08:12with the jalapenos on it.

08:13That shit was hard.

08:14What?

08:14That shit was hard, bro.

08:16What the hell was that?

08:16That shit was hard.

08:17It's two glizzies, two spicy bites, you know, like a 7-Eleven spicy bites, two of those.

08:23They're like, they're each like a foot long, right?

08:26Chili cheese on top.

08:28Onions on top.

08:29Raw onions.

08:30Raw onions.

08:31Jalapenos.

08:32You know, I like it spicy also.

08:33So like that's, that's for me, that was number one.

08:36I also got a little sweet tooth.

08:37So he gets me some honey buns, but like one time he put, he got me like a triple decker

08:42honey bun.

08:43So it was like three different types of honey buns.

08:44That shit was crazy.

08:45I couldn't even finish it.

08:46It was, it was too much sugar.

08:47It was too much sugar.

08:48But besides that, the scratch offs, he gave me scratch offs too.

08:52I got him scratch offs.

08:53Yeah.

08:54Yeah.

08:55So like, I'm, I'm good back here.

08:57You know, I'm living, I'm living, I'm cooling, I'm munching.

09:00You know, I got, I got, I got me some water back here.

09:03You feel me?

09:04We stay hydrated back here.

09:05We got some monster.

09:07You know, we, we, we staying active.

09:09We good.

09:09We good back here.

09:10Yeah.

09:10This is a recent addition for this tour right here.

09:14So it all started.

09:15I actually wasn't here for that.

09:16I flew in, um, when these guys were driving.

09:18Right.

09:19But, uh, we got a couple of these water guns, uh, cause Luke was, uh, traveled separately

09:24too.

09:25And, uh, they get to the hotel.

09:28Right.

09:28And then they pull out these water guns and kind of give them a little surprise.

09:32So, uh, ever since then, it's just been kind of like a constant, like, you know, tension

09:36in the air.

09:36Yeah.

09:37Just like who's going to get squirted next.

09:39You never know when you're going to get squirted on.

09:41Like anything can happen.

09:42You can get squirted on right now.

09:43Yeah.

09:44Anything can happen.

09:45I won't squirt your camera.

09:47They put the, the small guys back here in the third row.

09:53So this is where we all kind of stuff in here.

09:56And who you calling the small guy?

09:58I'm Tom.

09:58I mean, this is where I sit.

10:00You know, I gotta, I gotta sit back here.

10:01That's just, see, I got like extra, look, peep the boot.

10:04Um, you know, I need a little extra room.

10:06So like I get to stretch out my leg a little bit cause I, I tore my Achilles, uh, last

10:11tour.

10:11So I'm just healing up from that.

10:13But yeah, I got, I got me a little leg room.

10:16Luciano doesn't have as much leg room.

10:17Like, look, his knees touching the, the seat is, it gotta be rough for you, bro.

10:21Yeah.

10:22Yeah.

10:22It's, it's a little rough.

10:24I can't really do much.

10:25I try to just like.

10:27You be, you be sleeping.

10:28You be sleeping back here.

10:29I try to sleep.

10:30Yeah.

10:30He sleeps a lot.

10:31I really like being in the front seat.

10:32In the passenger seat.

10:34Mmm.

10:34I think, I think that's the hot commodity.

10:36Everyone wants to be in a passenger seat, but Max has like a monopoly on it for, I don't

10:40know why.

10:41Like he thinks he deserves it the most.

10:44The whole van ride here, I sat where you're sitting right now, bro.

10:47What do you mean?

10:48What are you talking about?

10:49Where you're sitting right now.

10:50This, this is a solid spot though.

10:52Yeah.

10:53No, no, no, but when we left Toledo, you sat over there the entire time.

10:57Yeah, I was sleepy.

10:58So, yeah.

10:59All I know is that after the show tonight, we're in Chicago right now.

11:04Immediately after this show, we are driving 15 hours to Denver.

11:09That's gonna be rough.

11:10Overnight.

11:10That's gonna be rough.

11:11And all I know is that it's gonna get, it's gonna get pretty heated.

11:15Yeah.

11:15There might be, there might be physical violence.

11:18We might have to box for that.

11:18There might be, there might be some, some, some hurt feelings.

11:22And y'all already know if we, if we fight for that bitch, I'm winning a hundred percent

11:28of the time.

11:28Like nobody, nobody can out fight me in this group.

11:31So.

11:31I'm gonna take that boot off.

11:33I'm gonna take that boot off.

11:34Yeah.

11:34I don't, I don't, I only need, I only need one leg to, to beat you though.

11:38Oh really?

11:58But yeah, like all our gear is on stage already.

12:01We got everything out.

12:02But when we're traveling, I mean, it's filled all the way up to the top.

12:06Like one wrong move and it's all over.

12:08Every time we open a door, luggage just flies out.
