They showcase their living and working space, including personal essentials, snacks, gaming setups, and how they manage their gear and merchandise while traveling across the country.
This little girl ended up in one of our videos
and became kind of an icon overnight.
That's been sitting in the front for so long
that the coloring is literally sun bleached.
What's up guys? We are out in front.
We're currently on Charlotte Sands Headline Satellite Tour.
We're direct support
for her and we're gonna give you guys a little van tour.
This is Big Bertha. We love her. She is a little messy right now,
but you know driving across the country does do that to a van.
You guys are getting the real deal. A real deal, yeah.
We did not watch this before we did this.
We'll start. This is usually my spot, my seat.
the workstation. This is our drummer Isaiah.
He loves to drive. And drum. And drum. And hit
really hard. Drive and drum.
We're looking a little wild in here, but I usually
like my little Squishmallow pillow.
This is for our driver, our drummer driver.
Um, I have my, my Diva Bleach hat when I'm having a bad hair day,
just toss it in right there.
Um, water bottle, always rocking the Kirkland cold brew.
We're looking for a Costco sponsorship.
Uh, we literally buy like, uh, what are they?
A pallet of these ******* things.
A pallet.
Are we allowed to curse in this?
Okay.
I don't know.
A ******* pallet.
A ******* shitload.
Damn it.
****.
I have, what else do I have?
This is my doctor, Dr. Vox, Dr. Vox,
helping me with my, keep my vocal cords safe.
This is also not sponsored, so.
One day.
One day.
One day.
Got a blanket.
What else we got over here?
Oh, here we go.
Oh, we got our new medicine hoodie.
Yep.
You can buy these on our website.
Sometimes we wear our own merch.
It's okay.
Yep, right here.
Out in front.
Can't they can't see it. Yep, there it is. Right here. Woohoo.
And then, um, Isaiah will always have his Trenta cold brew.
Starbucks. Also not sponsored. This is Phil. This is Phil.
Um, a fan gave this to me at our Rochester show.
So this is awesome. It depends on like the day.
I mean, I think, um, in the, in the morning, sometimes nothing.
I just kind of like.
I don't know, kind of have a game plan
of the day and then just kind of go.
A lot of shuffling, but we would listen to our friends' bands
and any new songs that kind of get sent to us.
And then, I don't know, we recently listened
to Charlotte Sands' whole album on the way to Toronto, which is cool.
We're touring with her right now.
I like Amity Affliction.
I like Born Ashore, all of those types of bands.
And I don't know if everybody else does, but, you know,
so that might be in its driver's pick at that point.
We love them.
But yeah, driver's pick.
But yeah, I love driving.
I like to see all the scenery and the different changes in the
topography as we're going around the country, which is pretty cool.
I just have ----.
She's got a lot of stuff here.
I have some mail.
Got quite the station here.
Ryan has his wrist.
That's where that ended up?
Ryan has his wrist strap.
Got a wrist problem right now.
Somebody gave this to us in Nashville, Bucky's mascot.
Oh, yeah.
Um, we got a- We've got a stick.
Shout out, shout out, we need a sponsor of this as well.
Thanks for- Thanks for-
We also have- I don't know why this is here.
I have no clue why this is here.
Uh, we bought the wrong cable and it's just- it's just living there.
You know? Sometimes things just live in a spot.
Unlike us, we don't live in any spot anymore.
Other than in here.
And then I have my backpack, filled with all my new things.
Last but not least, an extra...
Guitar, tuner.
You can tell that that's been sitting in the front
for so long that the coloring is literally sun bleached.
Yeah, that's ******* crazy.
And we bought this for 30 bucks.
Really?
We haven't used it.
That's where all the money's going.
But yeah, that's pretty much my, oh, I say you got to show this.
I showed it to him.
The Buc-ee's?
Yeah.
The Buc-ee's.
The beaver.
Shout out Tommy.
Here we go to the inside, we have RJ sitting in his spot,
he loves the back of the bus.
Okay yeah, so here's row one,
we've got our album that actually a fan gave this to us,
there is no out in front vinyls that actually exist yet,
so that's actually pretty cool.
That's a spoon, I don't know how that ended up in my hand.
That's the story of the van, though.
Sometimes you just find something.
Oh, we also have, wait, what else do we have in here?
Oh, boy.
This is Isaiah and one of our best friends, John Feist, here.
And we also have this photo here.
It was our first Aragon ballroom show.
This is our friend Zach from When the Sun Sets.
Local band here, by the way.
We're awesome.
John Feist making another picture here.
And Adam, our friend Adam.
Sick.
Um, we've got some, in case we need to eat any food, we,
I don't know if we've ever touched this supply, funny enough,
um, because we normally just go somewhere to eat,
uh, that's just how it goes.
Um, up here we've got, we've got a TV, this came with the ******* van,
um, so that's pretty sick, got my Xbox,
this thing's been alive since like 2012, uh, pretty crazy,
2013, I bet somebody's gonna tell me that it came out in 2014
and they're gonna ---- on me, that's okay.
We have the safety vest,
just in case we need to do anything illegal, like parking-wise,
which is pretty standard for out in front.
So we've got our nice vat of snacks here.
We've got some popcorn in case we're watching a movie or something.
We've got the voodoo chips.
Oh yeah, someone in, Tony in New Orleans,
one of our fans, gave us some snacks from New Orleans.
This is a New Orleans kettle.
Potato chip that we've yet to try, which we will.
Aww.
We've got our mega omega power up, and we're feeling low.
And our oats and honey granola.
None of these things are opened.
That's open.
I've been eating that.
That's this one we've been watching.
Oh, this is open?
I've been eating that.
Beautiful.
We still need to eat the airheads.
Yep.
The nerds.
We got some nerds.
I prefer the gummy clusters, but, you know.
Lemonhead.
You take what you get, you know.
Reeses.
This is, um...
And another fork.
Yeah.
We stay healthy.
We stay healthy.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Um...
Let's see what else. We got the pure protein.
These, you know, sometimes it's Costco.
If Costco, anybody from Costco is watching, like you got to hook it up.
Please, please. Seriously. We've got the cooler.
This thing's pretty sick. We got it from one of the,
we coach tennis and we met at a country club coaching tennis.
It was pretty cool. But one of the guys who is a member there.
Got us this this really nice cooler,
which is literally like a refrigerator. So it's
It's got that cold brew.
We were talking about got some Red Bulls in there.
We have my own Doc Martens right now
I'm in my amazing target slides
But when I win shows Showtime's calling I put
these bad boys on right here
These have been with me since the start of this band
Then I got RJ here with me.
He's our lead guitarist on tour. He's amazing
Um, what do you got back here?
This is my bench seat.
I'm a simple man with simple needs.
There's not much back here.
Uh, there's an empty bench.
There's my stuff.
And then I like to keep my hats nice and tidy.
And I also like...
to take this off here so that he's not invisible
so that i'm not invisible and i can be involved
this is actually the best spot in the van
because i got the best view of the xbox yep we play a lot
of zombies mw3 run some black ops 1 zombies
on there like dude nothing's better yeah so i love
hanging out with these guys
and anytime i'm in this back seat is a true pleasure
anyway so he showed you his cool bucky keychain
so of course i had to get the bucky
The nice little bucky pillow so I can just like zombie out straight up.
How do you use it? One more time, one more time for us.
Live action, live action.
I also just found on tour we've been handing out these,
we just released a new song called
Medicine and so to every new fan
or a fan that comes to the show they get a signed medicine card
so we've been handing these out which I just found back here.
Protein shakes, got to get that protein
in on tour as well whenever you can.
We got all of our dirty laundry in these bags right here.
Won't get too heavy with that.
We got lots of this in here too.
Lots of Red Bull, sugar free.
Zero sugar, gotta go with the zero sugar.
We have this amazing tapestry that we got.
This makes us feel like we're at home
because in Ryan's garage in LA,
he has a tapestry like this.
So it's a little piece of LA to travel with
when we're on the road.
Which is awesome. Then we keep all of our suitcases back
here like personal items like for hotels and everything
All right, so fun fact the van came with three rows of seats
We took out the third row and then we shoved the wall forward
And so we only have two rows of seats,
but then now we're able to fit all of our gear in one place
So that was a lifesaver
Shout out Bandico
Oh yeah.
We bought it from them.
We did.
But we can fit every single thing we have currently.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If we ever get lights, we don't know what we would do.
But yeah, for now, every single thing,
including my drums, all the guitars, merch.
Um, every single thing's in here.
It fits really nicely.
Right now, these two are the Tetris guys.
We Tetris it up.
It's a pretty fun game.
Obviously, like, after a certain amount of shows,
you kind of figure out the order of things.
I mean, look how, like, nicely...
Like, it literally comes...
It's a science.
You couldn't come any further out.
Like, and every inch, except this way,
is literally covered, so...
It's, uh...
Oh, my God, can we get it?
Can we get the bear?
I don't know how I'm going to get up here.
Ugh!
Here you go.
Oh my gosh.
We got the bear.
She made it.
Oh my gosh, and the bear's on the ground.
Here you go.
Here you go.
We travel with our trusty mascot.
One of our fans named her Astro,
but we did one video because this is like, Ryan has the
most random stuff in his garage like ever
because his parents are so cool.
Yes.
And this little girl ended up in one of our videos
and became kind of an icon overnight.
