00:00Hey guys, it's Johnny Craig here, I'm standing in front of my van, which I tour in.
00:14We are on tour right now with Call Me Charisma, beginning of the tour pretty much, only like
00:19six or seven days in, couple difficulties, but we're working through it, it's getting
00:23smooth, it's starting to sound real nice.
00:25This tour is pretty much just promoting a lot of the new music that I'm dropping for
00:30my new band, Bold Flame.
00:32So we've dropped at least three singles before the tour and I think we have one more coming
00:36up.
00:37Alright so, this is obviously the passenger seat, driver's seat.
00:41It's funny because I own this van and the trailer in my name, but they don't want me
00:46to drive, they think that I'm going to kill them, but I think I'm a great driver, but
00:50they think otherwise.
00:51So mainly the people that drive, we have a driving schedule already planned out before
00:56we left, everyone pretty much drives except me.
01:01And then obviously we always have someone sitting here making sure that the person is
01:06awake.
01:07We would normally be playing music and stuff like that, but we can't use the radio, anything
01:13other than our CD player.
01:16So we went and we got some beautiful CDs, Wild Wild West, I know people remember that
01:21beautiful album.
01:22O-Town, come on now, that's one of the greatest albums I'm playing.
01:25And then Rascal Flatts, come on, who doesn't like a little three part, six part, seven
01:29part harmonies, man, we love that shit.
01:32And then we got a bunch of Matchbox cars.
01:37On this tour, I told my son that I would get him one in every state, and so I put it on
01:43the rider and they've been giving them to me every show.
01:47So we have a bunch of these in here right now.
01:49Kid gave me this, he was actually driving the Ford Focus RS, beautiful car, he let me
01:55whip it a little bit, it was nice.
01:57So every band, every band I'm sure that's touring uses these, we have to have power
02:04straight to the back for the person in the back to charge their phone, computer, whatever.
02:08So we have a little 400 watt one, easy, super simple, lots of cables, charge your phone,
02:14all that.
02:15On the dash, we got a poster that I wanted to save from the Iowa show, I just thought
02:21that it was a really nice poster and I'm going to hang it up in my house when we get home
02:26and we open it up for you.
02:28It's just a nice poster, it has Iowa City on it, I think that's really cool.
02:33It's nice, big, and it's the paper that it's on is why I chose it to hang up in my house.
02:38It's like real nice poster quality.
02:43Water, always water, everybody needs water.
02:47That's about it, that's the front seat.
02:49So, door's a little jammed, a little funky, it's alright, when it does that you just gotta
02:55kinda give it a good yank.
02:58So, this is my bunk, doesn't matter what van I'm in, doesn't matter where I'm at, I always
03:04sit in the front because for some reason in my brain it makes me feel like it is going
03:08to be the safest if we crash.
03:10If anyone asks me why I think that, I don't know.
03:16I got this last night for my son, I won it on a claw machine at Denny's at like 2 in
03:21the morning.
03:22Yeah, pretty much I have my gaming system which I keep in here, it's inside, it's a
03:26ROG Ally.
03:28Yeah, the ones that I'm playing, I got an emulator, pretty much what I'm playing is
03:32just a handheld computer, it has better graphics than a Playstation 5, it can play anything,
03:38I've been playing Resident Evil, Call of Duty, but I'm playing right now on an emulator,
03:44a Playstation 2 game called Sukuren, it's just like an RPG game, I'm really into that.
03:49So, I got all 5 of them on there and I've just been burning through them because they're
03:54just so much fun, so much fun.
03:56We stopped off at a store in Iowa, was across the street and I picked up a couple books
04:03that I've been looking for, I read a lot of comic books.
04:06This is actually a real book that I read and I wanted to re-read it, you know, with
04:10some illustrated goodness, so I already burned through this, a lot of people probably know
04:16this one, Last Ronin, it's about the Ninja Turtles and all of them are dead except for
04:21one, it's really good, I smashed through it in like a day, it was amazing.
04:26And then of course, I've been looking to start this for a while, the comic, you know,
04:32The Walking Dead, it's pretty much the complete first one, so that's what I'm reading at the
04:39moment.
04:40And yeah, I'm just going to lay back, I've got my pillow that I stole from the hotel,
04:45everybody knows, we steal hotel pillows, this is just a random hat.
04:50But down here we've got some real goodness, we've got a brand new 2020 MacBook Air, it
04:58was in the box, in the plastic, we bought it because I needed it for the stage and it
05:05has to be plugged in at all times.
05:07But it was brand new and it's just the battery never got charged at the start and so it just
05:12kind of shit out.
05:13I had to go buy a whole other one, but now we just have this beautiful bad boy just sitting
05:18here.
05:19I know everyone loves MacBooks and Johnny Craig and I've got my gaming controller in
05:25case I want to play, you know, Need for Speed or something.
05:28I have the Xbox Pro, super, super, connects real easy.
05:34And then, yeah, just backpack full of things you need, chargers, my medicine, all that
05:39type of stuff.
05:40So yeah, that's my bunk, that's pretty much what it is.
05:43Well, they kind of shipped around a little bit, but we'll just go with where they were
05:47today.
05:48This is Joe, he keeps it pretty clean, he's a pretty clean guy.
05:53Obviously, we've got Red Bulls on here, this is super essential for touring.
05:57He doesn't really keep much in his bunk, he likes to keep everything in his bag, real
06:00neat and tidy guy, which I like that, obviously.
06:06Third one is pretty tidy too, man.
06:08Like I said, it's been cleaned a little bit.
06:10This is a new guy that we are working with, his name is Alec, and he is pretty tidy too,
06:15man.
06:16He keeps his chargers, keeps everything, not much down here.
06:20Another thing is when we go into venues, we bring our stuff inside.
06:24I know that there's a lot of stories, people getting vans broken into, and we just don't
06:28want to take the chance, so we make sure we bring everything that we find valuable, we
06:32just bring it in.
06:33It's not hard to carry it in, it's easy.
06:35Don't be lazy, carry your stuff inside, you'll thank me later.
06:40And the back here is our guitar player Aaron, and he might be the messiest one.
06:49He's having a hard time right now, going through a breakup, so his stuff is a little messy,
06:55his towels, blankets, this.
06:59Like I said, we kind of share these bunks, really not every single person has their own
07:03except for me, because I guess I own the van, so I was like, I need to be in the front at
07:07all times, I want to feel safe.
07:10We just kind of bounce around.
07:11Sound guy comes back here sometimes, that's a lot of his stuff as well.
07:14He's new.
07:16Over here, you know, we got somebody that wanted to keep a poster or something, let's
07:21take a look at what it is.
07:23Yeah, just a show flyer from Madison, Wisconsin.
07:29Same thing, somebody wanted to take it and bring it home.
07:34Yeah, you'll find a lot of those in my van.
07:35We used to have the whole rule of like the, you know, if you're driving you get the back
07:39or whatever, but we have like the perfect amount of people in our van right now, six.
07:45And so, we haven't had any arguments, nothing like that.
07:48The only problem is, I'm starting to see a lot of people don't want to be back here,
07:52because it's hot.
07:54In the summertime, the air is not reaching us, like if you're sitting in these bunks,
07:57you got these bad boys, right?
07:58You got one right over your head in each one.
08:00This one, there's no air, so it does tend to get a little hotter back here, so I have
08:05seen them avoiding it lately.
08:08This is the back here.
08:10Nothing too crazy, nothing too special.
08:13A lot of storage.
08:15Kevin, our TM, likes to wear sick basketball shoes from the 2000s.
08:24You know, when we get stuff from Walmart and stuff, and you don't want to put it in your
08:27bag, you can just toss it back here.
08:30You know, it's out of the way.
08:32Some of the leftover Ryder from the last show.
08:34I like vitamin waters.
08:36Just so anyone knows they want to bring me some, I like vitamin waters.
08:40And just some Ritz crackers in case, you know, someone's feeling a little nauseous or something.
08:44All right, guys.
08:45Thank you for checking out my van.
08:48And what I want you guys to do is go to Spotify.
08:50I want you to type in Small Town Liar.

09:02sure you check out on Spotify.
