00:00What's up?
00:11I'm Derek from Driveways and I play the bass.
00:14I'm Ryan from Driveways.
00:15I scream and play drums and we're on tour right now with Bill Murray with the American
00:23Motors Tour.
00:25It's going great.
00:27Halfway through now.
00:28Halfway through now.
00:29Yeah, we made our way over here to the Midwest, Chicago tonight.
00:33It's been awesome shows.
00:36Everything's sold out so far.
00:37Bill Murray's been fantastic.
00:39Those guys are great.
00:41Such a good time for them taking us on tour and yeah, I can't say enough good things about
00:46those dudes.
00:47Such good times right now.
00:49So this is our van.
00:50It's not ours, it's a rental, but it's ours for the next two weeks.
00:54Nice 15 passenger transit.
00:56Yeah, so let's jump in and we'll show you around.
00:59So you're looking at the two drivers right here.
01:03Pat is the passenger princess, is that what they call him?
01:06Yeah, he doesn't drive, ever.
01:07Not that we want him to drive, he's not that great.
01:12But yeah, me and Ryan drive.
01:14We go until we're too tired, which is normally 20 minutes or a half hour.
01:21Yeah, we have no specific rules, kind of just whoever's feeling the driving on the
01:26morning just jump in and we kind of just go until we don't want to go and then we'll swap
01:30off back and forth and we're always co-piloting each other.
01:36Basically and Pat will just hang out in the back with his headphones on, play video games,
01:40just get driven around, you know, it's nice, it's a nice life.
01:44So on most of our drives, believe it or not, we just silence, a lot of silence, no music
01:56or anything just because we're just sick and tired of hearing it and we do a lot of talking,
02:01just a lot of talking, probably constant conversation, which is really nice.
02:07We do play music though and we do listen to podcasts, a lot of Mr. Ballin.
02:13Love the mystery, murder mystery, crazy stuff that he brings over there, so that's nice,
02:18we listen to that.
02:19Yeah, music is like a wild card.
02:23Yesterday we went from Bone Thugs to Bloodhound Gang, so I don't know, that's just...
02:28And then a bunch of early 2000s Nu Metal playlists to finish off the drive.
02:32Yeah, that was a good playlist.
02:33Real good.
02:34And then right back to silence, because we had enough of that.
02:37Yeah, so we get like some charging options.
02:40This one's okay until you leave the phone up here and it overheats like mine did yesterday
02:46right in the sun, baking down on it, but you can pull it over here.
02:49Got a lot of other chargers, one charger right here, USB-C. All of us got a Google Pixel
02:54phone, so plug those in.
02:57We get our refrigerator, little fridge plugged in up here and that will be sitting there
03:02in the back, we'll get to, a couple of hand sanitizers.
03:06Bath and body works, always.
03:07Got to do that, and always stocked up with the Orbit gum.
03:11That's always nice.
03:12Yeah, we got this, this was the most exciting thing of the van, a little air freshener.
03:18It's a skeleton that's right up our alley.
03:20Nice.
03:21And then that's pretty much it, we don't really have much else up here.
03:25All right, so yeah, this would be mostly Pat's row that he sits in, lays in, gets chauffeured
03:32around in, but this is, yeah, we all have steam decks to pass the time.
03:36This one's Patty's, Patty's pillow that he may or may not have borrowed from the last
03:41hotel, but there it is.
03:44Yep, big chomp band, we like the chomps, keep those right there.
03:52We're also a big Target, Target band, love the snacks.
03:56Big presser, guys.
03:57Very boring, but here we go.
04:00All right, we got pretzels, we got more pretzels, cashews, some more pretzels, big pretzel band.
04:14Yeah, you got to do the sticks, you know, the big sticks, popcorners.
04:19And then this was like the wildcard, this was like the most exciting thing on Pat's
04:23day the other day, was getting some churro mix, yeah, but yeah, we kind of limit the
04:28snacks to just this bag so it doesn't make a big mess, but yeah, big pretzel band, big
04:33Target band, big chomp band, yeah.
04:35Oh yeah, yeah.
04:36So this seat would be Derek's seat when he comes back here, he jumps on his laptop, does
04:42some finances for us, does some booking for hotels, school work when he's, you know, resetting
04:50a bunch of passwords for the kids, and that would be this row.
04:55Sometimes he jumps up in this row, but, you know, he kind of likes it back here, and then,
04:58you know, maybe Pat will jump in the front seat with me every once in a while.
05:02Other than that, what we got back here is we got some laundry detergent, that's always
05:07good, a lot of shoes, big shoe band, everyone's probably got like, I don't know, five, six
05:15pairs of shoes in there, and some New Balances, some Crocs, some Ofos, some more New Balances,
05:25big New Balance band, got one pair of those, got another pair of those, got these ones
05:31right here, yeah, big New Balance, guys.
05:34Other than that, you know, got the Disney hats, always got the Disney hats in here,
05:40a lot of dirty laundry right now, we haven't done laundry in a couple days, so hopefully
05:46we'll get to that in a couple days, you know.
05:49Other than that, this row doesn't really get used, besides, if you want to come over
05:54here, we got Derek with the fridge, got some chocolate-covered cashews, those are always
05:59good.
06:00Zero sugar Reese's for myself, always have the Liquid Deaths, big Liquid Death band,
06:06love all the flavors, Waters, Diet Coke, some more Chomps, gonna try the Chomps a little
06:12cold next time, the turkey one, I believe, yeah.
06:15Oh, yeah.
06:17A couple fast-switch, get the energy drinks for the long rides, and, yeah, that's pretty
06:22much our big accessory for the van, is the big fridge, oh, yeah, big fridge.
06:27Unfortunately, only one door is able to open, I don't know if that's gonna be an issue,
06:31but we can...
06:33Open it pretty wide, yeah.
06:35There we go.
06:36Cause this will open like a smidge.
06:41All right, yeah, so, mostly, like, some, a little bit of extra merch, just cause it's
06:46in the way of the trailer when we're unloading, but some vinyls, a little travel pillow.
06:54This was one of the most recent purchases, probably the most, one of the most important
06:58purchases on the tour, we actually just used this and hook it on the side of the van to
07:03play a little hoop in the parking lot.
07:07But this is, actually, this bag is really important to driveways cause we spend a lot
07:11of time in parking lots and rest stops playing catch with the football, the frisbee, we got
07:19a basketball just in case, a tennis ball, and then we also have fun with the Nerf Howler,
07:27this thing's great, whistles like a whistle.
07:32Big whistle.
07:33It's a big whistle.
07:34Big whistle, guys.
07:35But yeah, this bag always needs to be towards the end because I think we do this more than
07:41like play music, we play with the balls.
07:43Yeah, pretty much every rest stop, yeah, every rest stop we just get out and try to get a
07:48little catch in every once in a while when we can, you know?
07:51Gotta keep it moving.
07:52Oh yeah, for sure.
07:53And then just our suitcases.
07:59This is like a big part of my daily routine is I bring a K-cup machine with me and some
08:05non-refrigerated oat milk so I don't have to worry about keeping it cool, but yeah,
08:11every morning I gotta have a K-cup.
08:13So it's just like I try to get into my morning routine as like, that's exactly what I do
08:18at home.
08:19First thing I do when I wake up, have some coffee, so that's just a little taste of home
08:22while I'm out on the road.
08:25Yeah, we gotta vacuum though, this is way too dirty, this is way too dirty.
08:29We have to vacuum this, but yeah, these are just some boots for the trailer in case some
08:36thugs trying to snatch the trailer, they want to lift like the 5,000 pounds of equipment,
08:41probably two of them, but I'm just really paranoid about the trailer, so we hook those
08:46on all the time.
08:47Yeah, so we're recording a new album again, well EP probably.
08:52It'll be out in October if you can guess.
08:55Yeah, somewhere in the fall, yeah.
08:56A big fall band, so that'll be coming out.
08:59Got a Halloween show, hometown Halloween show, we started it like a year or two ago, kind
09:05of like a little tradition hometown thing, so we'll be doing a big Halloween time show
09:10October 26th, right?
09:12Yeah.
09:13So that'll be getting announced real soon, might already be up.
