00:00Hey, what's up, this is Liz Selfish from Brat.
00:12Sprinter from Brat.
00:13We're on tour right now.
00:14We're on the Summer Slaughter Tour and this is day 28 or something, I'm not exactly sure,
00:21but we've made some upgrades to the van.
00:23You may have seen our last video, so we want to show you all the new spiffy improvements
00:27that we did.
00:28And so this pretty much looks the exact same as last time.
00:32It's pure chaos in here.
00:35We had White Castle Day.
00:36We've been very pressed for time today, so didn't have time to tidy up at all.
00:41We've got a bunch of bags of laundry.
00:44We haven't been able to do laundry in God knows how long, so it's bleak.
00:49This is obviously where we keep the drugs, I'm just kidding, beauty essentials.
00:54All my trash up here on the dash, multiple hats for whatever occasion you're feeling.
01:01Yeah, mostly just like leftover food and things up here.
01:05Usually your hair lives up there too.
01:07My hair extensions live up here as well.
01:10Everything that you need at your fingertips, right here.
01:13So I do most of the driving.
01:16This tour, we've changed it up a little bit.
01:18Our merch guy, John, has been doing a little bit of the driving.
01:23He actually just drove the van across the entire country for us while we were playing
01:28Mrs. Hardcore in Philly, so there's that.
01:33Pretty much we've got all our little co-pilots here.
01:36We've got these dudes, they've been my emotional support buddies, so we've got these guys.
01:47Yeah, not a whole lot has changed, we've got these guys now, so that's what's new.
01:52We've been listening to a lot of Dave Matthews' band on this run, much to everyone's chagrin,
01:59especially Hennessy, our bass player, but you know what, Dave rules, and I won't stand
02:03for any Dave slander in this van.
02:05I don't know, Carter Beaufort, best drummer alive.
02:09You can quote that.
02:11What else have we been listening to?
02:14Oh man, I don't even know.
02:17Yeah, just Dave, really, just Dave this tour.
02:20It's been a real Dave tour.
02:22Yeah, and a lot of country music, for sure.
02:24A little country.
02:26Without any further ado, I present the boys.
02:30What's up?
02:32Yeah bro, y'all know about that.
02:34That white trash castle, boy.
02:36We out here.
02:38You know, a little 20 pack, ain't nothing.
02:42Don't worry about it.
02:44Got a towel.
02:46Wipe up your tears.
02:49A rope.
02:51For whatever.
02:53This is my drink cabinet.
02:59Yeah, that's an upgrade that we made from the last tour.
03:01We got these little pouches that you hang on the back of the seats.
03:04So you can have a cup holder, and we have like a little trash can.
03:08Shout out TJ Maxx.
03:10Yeah, thanks TJ Maxx.
03:12You think that we didn't, you know, collect all the trash in here,
03:16but we actually have been, so.
03:18It could be worse.
03:20Then, there's various jugs.
03:22At our disposal.
03:24Mystery liquids.
03:26Water. Water only.
03:30It's pretty chill, pretty much the same in the middle.
03:32Oh, and an overflowing trash bag.
03:36I have my seat back from the last video, if you have seen that.
03:40So I kind of use it as a bed, you know.
03:42I use my suitcase to lay down.
03:44Also, I just got truck nuts for my Crocs.
03:46They're pretty badass, if you ask me.
03:50Yeah, I just hang out back here.
03:52I have my Steam Deck.
03:54You know, I'll be playing Elder Ring on the road and such, you know.
03:56I just play a lot of video games back here until I sleep.
03:58I got my melodica still, so I can torch everybody.
04:06Same old stuff, you know.
04:08We got the bunk. I'll go sleep up there every once in a while.
04:10You gotta give the bunk some love.
04:12Alright, this is the real upgrade back here.
04:14We finally put a bunk in.
04:16We have a fridge.
04:18And a microwave.
04:20You can't really open the fridge.
04:22Look at this.
04:24Most of the time we have stuff here.
04:26Watch my beer.
04:28Watch my beer.
04:30You can only open it to right here.
04:32So you have like a limited space.
04:34But, it's still really nice.
04:36And we have a microwave.
04:38We haven't been using it as much as I would have liked to.
04:41We thought we were just going to be one of those bands that only goes to the grocery store.
04:51I think next tour it'll be fine.
04:53It's always next tour.
04:55Next year's our year.
04:57That's it.
04:59I didn't realize how annoying being the refrigerator attendant would be.
05:01But it only opens halfway.
05:03And there's always crap back here.
05:05So like, oh, can I get a coffee?
05:07I'm like, man, let me move like ten things out of the way and get your damn coffee.
05:09And then so while we're driving, so then everything falls out.
05:11And we hear them go, fuck!
05:13Everything in the fridge falls to the front.
05:15So you open it up and everything starts rolling out.
05:17It's honestly badass.
05:19It's probably our best tour game.
05:21It's really fucking annoying.
05:23But the bunk is great.
05:25The bunk's very nice.
05:27Yeah, so we also like installed, you know, seatbelts
05:29so that if anyone's sleeping
05:31while the car's in motion
05:33that no one flies forward.
05:35Yeah, and it's really nice.
05:37It's kind of bumpy when you're moving.
05:39It is bumpy.
05:41But it kind of lulls you to sleep, you know?
05:43It's part of the experience.
05:45But yeah, so because of this,
05:47now we pull a trailer we didn't before.
05:49And that's been like a huge game changer.
05:51I know it doesn't seem like we have much space in here.
05:53But it is definitely more space
05:55than last time.
05:57So yeah.
05:59Hold on, we got
06:01the limited edition Sharp
06:03Very rare.
06:05Very rare Jaeger that is no longer made.
06:07Shout out Allison.
06:09Thank you to my sister who provides us Sharp.
06:11This is not sponsored, but
06:13Jaeger, we love your product.
06:15Make more.
06:17It's a hot ginger Jaeger.
06:19We love it.
06:21Basically it's like ginger infused
06:23and it's way smoother and more delicious.
06:25And now that we have a freezer
06:27it's like, I mean, look at that.
06:29Crispy.
06:31Crispy as hell.
06:34Go get a shot bro.
06:36Alright, alright.
06:38Got Wade from Blackwater Sniper, our homie.
06:40Shout out Blackwater.
06:42Hell yeah.
06:44It's good right?
06:46Rock and roll baby.
06:48Jaeger sponsor us.
06:50I'll have another.
06:54Very smooth.
06:56Yeah.
06:58Summer's laugh tour.
07:00You know, just gotta know
07:02what we're getting into.
07:04So underneath the bunk
07:06we've got all this storage space
07:08which is just filled with
07:10our personal crap right now because all of our gear
07:12is out because we just played a little bit ago
07:14but normally all the gear actually
07:16fits in here in very organized
07:18width so it's pretty sweet.
07:20Me and my brother
07:22built the whole bunk so
07:24yeah.
07:26It's a huge improvement.
07:28It was a fun project and now
07:30we get a little bit more sleep
07:32than we did before.
07:34So yeah, it's been great.
07:36Here we've got the Luvs 60th anniversary
07:38truck.
07:40I am a Luvs fanatic.
07:42I'm actually getting a Luvs tattoo at the end of this tour.
07:46But I saw these on Instagram the other day
07:48and I thought
07:50I had to have it. So we're at a Luvs in Arizona
07:52a week or two ago.
07:54I didn't see them in the store so I asked the lady
07:56at the store and she was like, we got them in the back.
07:58So I got one of these puppies.
08:00Gotta show these off.
08:04I'm telling you dog.
08:06These shits, hot mustard
08:08they're like
08:10Chinese hot mustard
08:12with a horseradish kick.
08:14They're very good.
08:16It's like this and sharp.
08:18Ian got s'mores ramen.
08:20We're just eating the most foul shit
08:22humanly possible.

08:34This is elite tour snacks dude.
08:36Very rare.
08:38So in the actual van
08:40stays all the
08:42smaller valuable things like the guitars
08:44and the heads and all that.
08:46In the trailer is pretty much
08:48just for merch. We just have a bunch of boxes
08:50in there and we also keep our
08:52cabs in there because they'll just take up
08:55a fuck ton of space.
08:57So yeah, all the
08:59small stuff lives in there.
