Transcript
00:00Hi, we are Definitely Maybe on the Hot Mess Tour with 408 and Telltale.
00:14Tonight we play with Crooked Teeth.
00:16I'm Courtney.
00:17I'm Ian.
00:18All right, we're going to go take you on a tour of our excursion.
00:21Let's hop inside.
00:22We don't take shifts while we drive.
00:24We have a driver.
00:25His name is Sawyer.
00:28He also drives the base and the tracks.
00:32There we go.
00:33It's nice back here.
00:34It's spacious.
00:35It's pretty roomy no matter where you're sitting, which is nice.
00:38And then the usual seating arrangement is Sawyer and then me, and then that's usually
00:42you, no?
00:43Yeah, Jules.
00:44Ian.
00:45I'm in this back seat.
00:46And you normally can't see out the back window because it's packed to the tippy top.
00:51Just about every square inch has been Tetrised, like, to shit.
00:55It's wild.
00:56Yeah.
00:58It's super packed.
00:59But we've got everything that we need with us.
01:00A battery.
01:01This thing has, like, saved our asses so many times.
01:04Half of you guys are working from home.
01:06Oh, yeah.
01:07Yeah.
01:08We're remote working, so we've got to use this for our laptops.
01:09Yeah, Courtney and I run our laptops off of this.
01:12Hopefully we're down to, like, two to three hour drives now for the rest of the tour.
01:17But we just got done in Nashville, and that was quite a long drive.
01:19So a battery like this is definitely crucial.
01:23You know, the phone holder for GPS is very classic.
01:25I'll demonstrate.
01:26Also doubles as a tripod for TikTok.
01:29True.
01:30At some point, maybe we'll get the DVD player working.
01:33Four player Mario Kart on that thing is pretty banging.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Nintendo Switch is also definitely a crucial tour item.
01:39For entertainment on the drive, for Nashville, we just did music.
01:44I'm a big podcast girlie, so I would probably want to do podcasts soon.
01:50Generally IQ the music.
01:51I'm the front seat driver.
01:53It was pretty good, though, for the Nashville trip.
01:55It was kind of like a...
01:56You just passed the phone around for a bit.
01:57I passed it around.
01:58It was nice.
01:59It's not like you get one hour, you get one.
02:00We just feel it out.
02:01So I can, like, feel the energy.
02:03We started pretty quiet, too.
02:05We don't always play music.
02:06Yeah, the first two hours, we did in silence.
02:08It's kind of nice, you know, when you get done with a show, like, everything's been
02:12loud for hours already.
02:14So just letting it kind of breathe is a good thing.
02:16I got to hear her purr.
02:17I got to hear this car.
02:19Yeah, it's pretty old.
02:21Maybe see the back bumper at some point.
02:22Yeah, this was my childhood car.
02:24Like, what we drove to family vacations.
02:26Yeah, so we're trying to take good care of her, for sure.
02:28She's super old.
02:29Um, but we did listen to the Justin Bieber Tiny Dusk on our way home from Nashville,
02:34and that got us through the last leg of the drive.
02:37A little bit of YouTube streaming.
02:38Yeah, that's a lot of YouTube live music.
02:40Absolutely.
02:41Well, as you can see, she's seen better days.
02:44Um, I don't actually know what happened here.
02:46Yeah, your dad did that.
02:47Probably my dad.
02:48My dad also probably did that.
02:49I think that used to hold change, but we don't use change, so we don't need it anymore.
02:53And that's fine.
02:54I put a sticker on here when we went snowboarding in, like, 2012.
03:00And it's still there.
03:02What was this?
03:03I actually just threw away the sticker.
03:05Oh, I don't know what that is.
03:06That was changed.
03:07Oh, this was changed.
03:08That's gone.
03:09None of the outlets work.
03:10I don't think.
03:11Hence the battery.
03:12But they have a cool little flippy.
03:13This is empty.
03:14This is probably 20 years old.
03:16I don't know if that even still smells.
03:19No, definitely not.
03:20And this is new.
03:21This is the radio and the CD.
03:23Well, it has a CD player, so we replaced that.
03:26Oh, the air also doesn't work.
03:28Well, it kind of does.
03:29It has on or off.
03:31It's on or it's off.
03:32And it can't make up its mind.
03:34And the butt warmers definitely work because this one turns on automatically and I forget
03:37every time.
03:38And then a half an hour into the drive, I'm like, why am I so fucking hot?
03:41Yeah.
03:42Alright, so now we're going to bring you to the back seat.
03:44This is normally where I sit with Julian.
03:46Uh, you know, for most of the trip, we're kind of taking turns.
03:49Everyone's got their feet up on the center console, you know, trying to figure out how
03:52to get comfortable back here.
03:53Uh, Jules is a big puzzler.
03:55Like, he gets those puzzle books from, uh.
03:57Jules Osco.
03:58Jules.
03:59Shout out.
04:00Not sponsored.
04:01That's why they call him Jules.
04:02That's right.
04:03Oh!
04:04That just happened.
04:05We didn't plan that.
04:06It's not why they call him that.
04:07And so there's a lot of that.
04:08I will definitely be working quite a bit from tour.
04:11Um, I don't tell my boss.
04:12I haven't told.
04:13Oh.
04:14Yeah, so.
04:15But you can absolutely, you know, post it.
04:18He's being very cautious.
04:19So that's what I'm probably going to be doing.
04:20A little bit of cuddling here and there.
04:23Yeah, a little.
04:24A little.
04:25It's a little more than a little.
04:28Yeah.
04:29But, uh, yeah.
04:30I mean, it's honestly, like, it's pretty spacious back here.
04:33It's more than I would have expected, especially considering how crammed the trunk is.
04:37But, uh, you do have to be careful when this lawyer has to break sometimes.
04:41Stuff will definitely fall forward.
04:43So it's a little bit of, like, trying to relax and trying to, like, stay alert at the same
04:47time.
04:48Don't forget about the plasma screen.
04:49Oh, yeah.
04:50Absolutely.
04:51Here we go.
04:52It's a flat screen.
04:53So that's a plus.
04:54Uh, it doesn't stay up without this Velcro, though.
04:58But, uh, yeah.
04:59Who knows?
05:00Maybe we'll get some Mario Kart going on at some point.
05:02That'd be pretty solid.
05:03The actual screen's bigger.
05:06Yeah, honestly, I could just tape my phone to it.
05:09It'd be better quality.
05:10Those were better days.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Uh, what else?
05:13We got some character going on back here.
05:15Oh, you know what?
05:16I can show you.
05:17This thing that doesn't Velcro.
05:19Currently, the, uh, the hitch lives under the seat here now.
05:24Oh, nice.
05:25I'm not using a trailer.
05:26Yeah, so this, this, oh my God.
05:28This, this car is so big that we, uh, we just got done playing in Nashville and there was
05:33a garage where we were staying.
05:34And in order to fit into the garage and be able to shut the door with, like, less than
05:38an inch on either side, we had to take the hitch off.
05:41So that involved muscle man Jules here, like, yanking.
05:45And the whole car was moving.
05:47Yeah.
05:48And he, he, he managed to pull it out.
05:50So, but we are, uh, you can kind of see a little bit down here.
05:54We've, we've been like cramming every bit of space full of stuff.
06:00So this is our hardware storage right here.
06:02Yeah.
06:03So we got the back here, uh, and as you can see, the bumper is completely rusted off.
06:08So when, when we're loading stuff in, you can't even step on it cause it literally just,
06:12it doesn't even support, support your weight.
06:14So we used to use the hitch to step on, but now you just got to kind of go all the way
06:18in.
06:19It's a big step, but, uh, it's pretty spacious.
06:21You could fit like a queen size bed back here, but there wasn't so much shit.
06:25Yeah.
06:26I mean we, all of our stuff or most of our stuff is loaded in the venue right now, so
06:29it's a lot more spacious right now than it would be on, on the road.
06:32I mean on the road, everything all the way back to like when this is shut is absolutely
06:36crammed full.
06:37Like you can't see out of the back window at all.
06:39We have four boxes of merch, the big ass rack, the drum set.
06:43We all have to pack for an entire month and we have to fit all of our shit in the back.
06:48We have three guitars, four guitars, three pedal boards.
06:53It's a lot of shit.
06:54And a, and a full drum kit, which thankfully we're not using on this gig, but, uh, yeah,
06:58it's a lot to pack.
06:59It's a lot.
07:00We're glad that it's, uh, you know, all in one space, you know, uh, trailers can attract
07:06attention and we've heard some stuff about them getting broken into and everything.
07:10And so we're really glad that we've managed to squeeze everything in here cause it's just
07:14all in one compact.
07:15It's easier.
07:16We go through the drive through, we get McDonald's.
07:17Yeah.
07:18You just don't want to go inside without parking that trailer.
07:21Unless they forget your guac at Chipotle and then you go back inside.
07:24This one has to go first.
07:26Otherwise that shatters and that has happened before.
07:29Uh, thank you for watching Pimp My Ride and checking out the excursion.
07:33Um, we are definitely, maybe we're on the road with 408 for the Hot Mess Tour.
07:38We're on it for the whole run.
