00:00What's up? I'm Jason from Warforged. I'm Max from Warforged. We are here on the Midwest

00:15Metal Quest Tour with Summoning the Lich and Carry on Veil tonight at Reggie's. This is

00:19the last day. We're here to give you a tour of this son of a bitch we've been driving

00:23in for the last ten days. So why don't you come on in and check it out with us. So this

00:27is the inside of our van. I usually do most of the driving. Jason does a good chunk too.

00:32Otherwise, we kind of split it up. Typically, we like to drive during the day. We do drive

00:36at night when we can, but all of us fall asleep really easily, so we try to avoid that. When

00:42we're driving at night, we'll take shifts and stuff, but usually Jason's the man for

00:45the night drives. He'll bust through those and pound some energy drinks and whatever

00:50and make it happen. Yeah, not fun. I mean, it's one of those things where you're on a

00:57tour and you have a ten-hour overnight drive. That's the thing. You either have that or

01:00you're like two-hour jaunt to the hotel or somebody's going to let you stay a little

01:04bit out of town. But yeah, I do my best to suffer through it. Usually, you just listen

01:10to a Jesse Ventura podcast of him saying some crazy-ass shit, or we just listen to music

01:16that's jarring enough to keep you awake and just pound those 300 milligrams zero-sugar

01:21energy drinks, which will probably kill me in a few years. But you know what? It's worth

01:25it for the rock. Yeah, we're trying to bring music to you guys. The toll we're taking on

01:30our bodies is fucking caffeine and pills to fucking stay awake. Yeah, pretty much. A little

01:37bit of that juice to keep you awake. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Jason and Alex will

01:40drive to our other guys, but it takes some convincing sometimes from them. Usually, it's

01:46like if I'm capped out on an overnighter, we'll do a rotating thing. Sometimes we've

01:51had tours where we have two overnights in a row. I'll try and do one of them all by

01:54myself. Usually, I'll wait until the sun comes up, and then he's good to go. I feel

02:00like this is my base in the van. This is my home area. So usually, I got my backpack here,

02:05my water bottle. They're in the venue right now, but I got this big boy. Always key to

02:08have a nice water bottle because I drink like 10 of these a day now. And then Alex is usually

02:14sitting here. He's the co-captain. This is like his permanent chair. In our old van,

02:19he broke the lift for the seat. It was always stuck in one spot, which is cool. So it was

02:24kind of his spot. And we got a Baja Blast bottle. Pounded this earlier. This is my caffeine.

02:33I don't drink coffee, so I'm always pounding these guys. We don't have too much stuff up

02:38here right now. We've kind of been cleaner on this tour than past tours. Even though

02:41this doesn't really look that good. We have a lot of napkins strewn around. The thing

02:44is this is the last day of a 10-day tour, so it's like we haven't been that conscious

02:48of cleaning it this time around. And on top of that, it's just like everything is sort

02:52of like in a weird space at the moment. We have this little AC adapter here, so if people

02:58don't want to use this Bluetooth speaker, like a radio connector and charger, we have

03:01something where you can plug in this. So we'll charge like GoPro cameras, our phones, or

03:06sometimes laptops when we're working remotely on tour. So it's nice to kind of have that.

03:10On the door here, we have some hand sanitizer right next to a piss bottle, which I guarantee

03:15is excellent. I'm a pee-shy person. I cannot pee in a van while it's moving. It's very

03:21hard. Sometimes I can't. If I'm fucked up enough, I can do it no problem. I have to

03:25get in the back though, because I'm a bigger guy. Alex, however, will just do it anywhere

03:29and anytime at any given moment he needs to. Like we'll be on the highway, and he does

03:33it from here. He'll do it. He'll literally sit down and pee into a bottle like. And it's

03:37cool. Yeah. Honestly, I'm a little envious because I do like to urinate. I don't like

03:42to urinate, but I have to go a lot. And sometimes I kind of wish that I was able to just enter

03:48that like zen flow state of piss. So I could just, you know, make it happen. But now I

03:55always have to stop. Like overnights, if I'm doing it, the best part is, is like I'm driving,

03:58so I could stop anytime I need to. And if you're on like a weird highway where nobody's

04:02on, you can just pull over and piss on the side of the road. It's great. So we also have

04:06hand sanitizer right next to it to try to like make it. I did pick up that piss bottle,

04:11so I am going to use the sanitizer right now, but I think it makes it a little cleaner.

04:16We also have a little tool kit here, um, as well as, I don't know what this is. It looks

04:21guitar center. Uh, we bought a speaker cable and we're going to turn it. Oh, okay. So we're

04:26going to skip our center. So we're doing that and lost it. So we had to buy a new one. Yeah.

04:30I think that's pretty much all the, uh, accessories. We have this little lighter up here. I don't

04:34know why. I don't even know if it's still, it does work. Take it, man. No, I want to

04:39keep it in here. Here we have the inside of the van. Um, this is my bench. Usually, uh,

04:48I like to stay up here cause I like to be a part of the action and conversation when

04:52it's possible. I usually shove a lot of stuff underneath the bench. I have a spare pair

04:56of shoes. This is all of my like toiletry stuff, like deodorant, hairbrush, shampoo,

05:00conditioner, all that. Um, I bring like a big ass bag on tour and I don't like to lug

05:05it everywhere. So I leave it in the trailer and I have everything easily accessible. Um,

05:10I have some pillows wrapped in a garbage bag cause I'm ready to bring them home. And, uh,

05:16we got the second bench. Usually Jace, our guitar player will chill here or anybody will.

05:21Sometimes Alex will. It's another spot for sleeping. Um, we also store, usually we have

05:26some hot sauces here actually. Uh, in collaboration with, Oh, these aren't, well these are Jace's

05:33hot sauces. So nevermind. We do have hot sauces that we're selling in the store that we leave

05:37in the van just so they're easy to get to and they're cool. And you know, yeah, we store

05:41them in these boxes so that way it's like a little safer and we'll put them under here.

05:45That way it's not being jostled around by everything else that's in the fucking trailer

05:49there. Um, and then we always keep trying to keep a garbage bag here. So it try and

05:55minimizes the garbage. Uh, and we can throw it away at any truck stop, which is nice instead

05:59of just like having shit always completely strewn around, which happens anyway. Like

06:03we got some zero sugar, Baja blast bottles in your van. Yeah. Yeah. So need the zero

06:10sugar. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it's pretty much it for this interior here. We do have a section

06:14in the back. We have what we like to call the cum zone. I don't really know how it even

06:19got that name. I don't know where this brush came from. That's my brush actually. That's

06:22his brush. Um, but this is a mattress, a memory foam pad. It's a memory foam. It's

06:27an Ikea full size mattress. So we have two, it's a 15 passengers. So we take out the back

06:32two benches and we throw this full size mattress in here. So then that way you can kind of

06:36sleep if you want. We could fit two people back in here. We never really have, but it's

06:40nice for like if I am doing an overnight drive or somebody is, somebody could just come crash

06:45here immediately after they're done. Um, and it's pretty comfortable honestly. Uh, I thought,

06:50yeah, we've, we've seen vans where bands have like air mattresses or something that's a

06:54little more like bouncy up and down. This stays pretty stable. If you keep, I've noticed

06:58if I keep my head towards the middle of the van, I get very comfortable sleep in here.

07:02Yeah. I'm six foot seven. So this bed's a little too small for me. So I gotta like lay

07:06sideways and it kind of sucks. Usually I like can fall asleep. Then we hit a gas station.

07:11I'm up. So like it's comfy, but I've, I can't sleep in it, but you know, it's, I'm just

07:16too big for everything. So it is what it is. Well, yeah, it's pretty much it. This

07:21thing rules. I'm glad that we have it now. We used to not, we used to just have benches,

07:24but it is really nice to sleep in here. We usually try never to sleep in the van overnight

07:28if we can do anything about it. We're advocates of trying to find places to stay. Worse comes

07:33to worse. We'll do a hotel, but if we have a breakdown somewhere, we'll have to spend,

07:36you know, we'll have to crash in the van. It's nice to have this as an option. And that

07:40way it's like the taller guys in the band could still get comfortable in here as well

07:43as guys like me and Jace who are under six feet tall. So yeah, this is our trailer. It's

07:49a nice a cargo mate. We get this from my good buddies, Rich and Matt at a big Tex Homer

07:55Glenn. They let us borrow this thing pretty much. Big Tex Homer Glenn. They rule. We've

07:59had this literally we've taken this since our second 19. Yeah. We've been using this

08:03for like five years now and we've definitely put it through the ringer a bit. I'm grateful

08:08for them as friends that they haven't disowned me yet. We've blown this fender off like four

08:13times. This is like not the right color, but this is what they had left and they just

08:17threw it on there. But, um, this tire is always the one that blows out actually on this tour

08:21of the leaf spring underneath snaps and we missed the show in Dallas because of that.

08:26So that fucking sucked. But like we got it fixed and we were able to drag it over to

08:30a trailer repair shop in the area. But, um, this, this tire has always been fucking with

08:34us, but you know, it's a, it's a trailer we can use and it's sick and I'm super appreciative

08:38of those dudes. And, um, Jace is usually the one who Tetris this stuff. He's a good

08:43height, a good weight, so he can stand on the floors without it. Like when I'm on the

08:46floors, it feels like the things like kind of fucking like fall through sometimes cause

08:50I need to lose weight. But, um, Jace fucking packs it in. He's got the merch bins on the

08:54side and the big rack that we have all of our gear in it in the middle of them, the

08:57drums and all fits in there pretty good. So it's sick. It's a nice trailer and it hauls

09:01all of our shit. Uh, so far so good. Minus the problems we've had, but it's been good.

09:08It's nice. It's very spacious. We can literally bring everything that we need in here. So

09:12sick shit. We have our current record, the Grove Sundial out via Artisan Era. You could

09:16stream it literally anywhere you stream music. You could buy it from us at our merch table

09:20on tour. You could buy it from their website. You can buy it on Amazon. It's available at

09:24any retailer that sells music. Um, we're working on a new record, the sequel, uh, which should

09:29be out eventually. Um, we have merch online. You could find that at, uh, Warforged. What
