So we're it's our first tour in the US promoting it. It's been great. And this is our humble abode Did we name? Oh, we got a work-in-progress name. We're gonna go with Wiley for now Yeah, there's been a few names floated Some of them were a bit contentious within the group But I'm choosing Wiley because he gave us a drum throne On this tour. So the first the first stop In Nashville, we went to buy a drum kit because it's cheaper than renting it And the guy that Vin bought some parts off gave him a free expensive drum seat So shoutouts Wiley Drivers so far. It's just been myself and Adam our front of house engineer We do have that there are six of us. However, the company only let four of us On the thing so Angus unfortunately missed out on previous trips. I have tried to take up a fair share Of the driving with Vince, but when we landed and found out about the insurance form I found out I wasn't allowed to drive. So my screen time has been exceptional on this trip, which is unfortunate Oh, yeah, but we yeah, we we have the the pilot and the co-pilot or Couplet, I think it's what we've been saying. That's kind of the system In previous vans you would you would make sure if you're driving next you would get priority Sleeping position which is usually down the back or something But it's your job as the co-pilot to do the settings things like that. We like to keep two hands tend to Also pilot also providing energy or a source of conversation Yeah, if you get into the copilot the copilot position and you decide to have a nap No, no. No, no, you are not going to be doing that. You will Delegate to a different seat if you plan on having a nap or suffer the consequences bullying I I just found this flower before and I I really like the smell. I think it's a lily. So good Anyway, I just chucked that in there before loading. So now there's a nice fragrance in here We have some really really good toilet paper from our Airbnb feel that I don't know we that feels like it's so good Yeah, this is the one yeah, it's it's not a straight edge, which is Very pricey.

Anyway, haven't used it On this. It's also this has a bit of stuff. Yeah, Connor's got a lot of ---- up here. So is Adzi This is interesting. We got this Or I put down a year ago at a gas station in Rock Springs, Colorado where we were stuck in the snow and The clerk asked me if I thought it was real wood And I was quite shocked that he actually thought that this would be real wood Anyway, everyone knows that you should put real wood into a lighter So it's actually it's come along on one two, three This is for international tours that do they come to me? It's come to both your excuse me both us No five Us Europe us Europe us Damn Pretty good. Sorry, but yeah, I want to hold on to this for some reason That's we got we've got a earplug or like air pods equivalent for our sound guy a belt we've got an EpiPen for me so what you want to do is I Will actually inject it now for the camera. So what you want to do is you want to I don't know how to use it Because I shouldn't be using it. So I actually never learned So what you want to do is pull off the blue safety release, which is that? If you can't see that that's blue I have unfortunate news is that you may be colorblind to form fist around the device as illustrated that looks like as it's illustrated place orange end against outer thigh and Press until it clicks hold for three seconds. I'm not going to do that because I will need to go to the hospital but it's even though it rhymes someone had I know a story about someone that had heard blue to you and they Which is incorrect. No, they heard orange to its blue to you is correct yeah, orange to the sky is what they heard and they did that and then stabbed themselves with a Noradrenaline injector, which Yeah, very not good so yeah, it's blue to you not orange to the sky which I don't know which is the thing anyway What's we got the rocker this may only be in Australia so for American audiences, I'm sorry It's just a vitamin tablet with hydration Effervescent tablet tastes good makes you think that you're consuming calories So if you're hungry go for it Tylenol cotton food Then I've finished Feel fine now. I don't know if these worked honestly anyway, rubbish Tylenol supporters Drop a drop a comment. Let me know if you think that Tylenol works for you But empty water bottle with a spoon Gosh Oh massage ball. That's quite good. It's good. If you need a little quick quick Blood flow let's do promotion a blood flow promotion rights On it or something. Oh, there's a bit of chocolate on this seat this morning that transferred onto my pants over here So I'm pretty disappointed about that Here's the culprit over here this this chocolate Anyway, there's an apple on the floor I had a moment earlier When the brakes were slammed on my apple was on my seat and it rolled all the way up the car And I made me think about the scene in The Simpsons where Otto gets the grapefruit It's a grapefruit and it rolls all the way under the pedal and then they ended up I think we were crossing a bridge or near a bridge. So it made me think about that whole Sequence of events in that Simpsons episode, but didn't end up doing that. It just got really bruised. So I will not be eating it I'm sorry Yeah, I don't I don't mean to waste food but an apple that is covered in bruises it's not it's not it's not gonna happen Great should we move into there? We are in the back area we have six people usually we have one two or three four I should say Five and then sometimes six person goes here or even even way back And also we like to call these single seats the lead singer see I don't I can't remember why Was it just because you think you're the best and you're having your own chair? Yeah It's a good it's a bit of a king in the castle. Yeah superiority complex or something. Anyway Jazzy our good friend and videographer He's he's usually claiming this seat and this is his bucky pillow, which is a technically In his eyes, he deems that a rat This is a rat to him he will only call it a rat because a beaver is a rodent or a member of the rodent family and so is a brat so by Definition by definition being a cousin of a particular species means that you are that species as well There you go, and this is also his hoodie shout out Woodward indoor skate parks. Oh, it's more than that It's a freaking institution go Woodward. Um, he's been wearing my glasses Realization Jazzy has been wearing my glasses because I couldn't find my glasses and they were in his hoodie. So, um, he's got an empty beer American wheat ale We don't drink a whole lot But he did take the entire rider last night in his backpack and it weighed probably Yeah, I don't know I don't know pounds you can get you can tell when a band is or like an act is getting low on money or getting a bit desperate because they will take the entirety of the rider and There will just be left over Food and drinks and show that later. We've actually got the bag out of a preview for the part two I just like to touch on this really quick So this is coffee news This is a little I guess Newsletter more or less that we thought only existed in our local Area, where was it in in Mornington? Like we're all in a tiny area in Australia Turns out it doesn't exist only there and it exists all over the world Okay, so yeah in this coffee news, there's uh, there's Trivia, there's did you know facts? There's jokes and there's also some weekly horoscopes So we've just been we've just been advised that the the person filming this is a cancer So as the weekend approaches, you may feel a sense of contentment. It might be a good time to kick back and relax Relationship issues could be easier to resolve now. Your lucky numbers are 1 16 17 22 30 and 33 So there we are. So everyone that's a cancer That's watching this. Let's kick back kick back relax Anyway, we found this in a Tim Hortons in Somewhere I can't somewhere in Canada. Sometimes you stop in a place. Sometimes you stop in a place and you spend maybe nearly two hours there and you have no idea what the place was or Whether you'll ever be there ever again This is a neck pillow. I believe this is other Jordan's or sound guys. I dad's looks like ads ease. It's been it's got a lot of wear and tear. Yeah, that's soundy As he bought a pen earlier Clock it you shoot like wait, it has it. Okay. Yeah. So I said that's that's a disarmed pen and then that's an armed pen That's a pen This is ads ease hoodie, which is our own merch Which he tends to lose a lot. He's lost a few of these. I think that's his third or fourth iteration of that This is a card for something Premium chrome sticker. Oh, that'll be like a gas station sticker crapper I can go back on the floor where it belongs. Just just a bit of rubbish This is our rubbish bag that you sometimes use Evidently not today We have some cucumbers and some chips, which I threw in the bin this morning at our accommodation But they managed to find their way back into the van Because someone really wanted it that was that was that was jazzy afternoon. Okay, so This is our first tour with the trailer we We had our management ask us if they thought that 15 merch boxes plus our gear would fit in This with six people and we said no So they thought well, why don't we get two vans and we thought no So they thought let's get a trailer and we thought that makes more sense so in here is Usually our personals our drum kit Yeah, pretty much just those things When we're crossing borders, we were a bit more strategic with the carnets So forth so every all the other gear and Merch goes in the trailer. We have our our stack Set up and then a lot of miscellaneous ---- such as underwear The host the Airbnb that we stayed at in last night They've been booked had a sauna in one of the lounge rooms and a jacuzzi So there are various wet or semi wet underwear sets everywhere such as in here It's a pair of mine That's these are soaked Are they maybe these are George? All right, this is a Bucky's bag that we bought specifically for food and ---- One of these sunflower seeds or something we have a big box of popcorn. Oh, okay. Let's talk about these Digestive digestives. We really like this biscuit Except usually it's a brand called McVitie's Which we have we've only found one One convenience store had in Canada in Canada, but Angus found this brand Which looks really funny It's mainly the digestive. Oh, yeah See, I saw that and I thought oh, that's funny, but they may be okay. We are yet to try them. Oh This is a tour must to some Cholula hot sauce This is bottle number two So we'll probably go through a few of those on the tour for other we go for fans of Tabasco We we've also got you but Cholula's The oops, this has been a game-changer for the rider Medjool dates because they're really expensive So if the venue is willing to buy them, it's that's great Bananas, you know, I feel bad at the top. Okay. Yeah, they're probably bits good. I Would be my rice noodles, I bought way too many Tea bags Keep it in the tea bag is very hard to come across in the US. I wish the tea was more of a thing honey also a must You need it for the coffee? Because we don't really like the creamer and stuff. You just get black coffee and creamer has no milk fun fact We looked into it and it's various vegetable oils and things like that. There's Essentially no milk in that. So if you want if you want a milk alternative, I guess that's good But I think people probably are under the impression that it is milk. It's not It's not milk. Okay, there's the beers we were talking about last night that contributed to Josie's bag being really heavy No, this is Adam's chocolate, oh you might you want to be oh, yeah, do you want to steal a bit? No, oh, yeah, it's fruiting that you can't have it. I can't have that. Otherwise, I'll need the pep Um, oh, okay. This is a good find. We have a toothbrush and We have a fresh packet of toothpaste. Someone has not been brushing their teeth Which is disgusting This is good of all the sensations you can experience Throughout life going at night and a morning without brushing your teeth has got to be one of the worst That's slimy feeling where your teeth are soft and you can cut into them with a butter knife Awful, that is terrible. You don't want that. Okay, what else have we got in this? What's in this bag? Yeah, we got some water. So we saw that's all water. That's all water We got more water here we've got a rain jacket Vince made a comment about it earlier but a lot of the stuff that is piling up is our sound guys and I think it deserves to go in a bag at this stage because This entire chair is dedicated to loose items It's the junk chair if you will, but or the junk bunk equivalent except we don't Like to do that. It's usually what's the saying that Mark says something about if It's something about survival if you I it's something about if items are not in use they will be in your bag Yeah, it's something it was put in a way. There was a lot more memorable than and military sounding like No, ****. I can't. This is my hoodie. This is from a tour we did last year with Dayglo Shout out to Dayglo. Thank you Dayglo That's my hoodie, we've got a drum. We have a drum that's broken the hoop is Dented we didn't realize when we bought it, but luckily we have it another one. We have we have a scooter Myself and my friend or our friend Justin our filmer he and I well I used to be pro at Scootering he still is so he brought it along because there's a few spots he wants to hit on the tour So, thank you once again for checking out our van Wiley This has been Vincent and Angus from teenage dads. We're here on tour promoting our album major domo Great indie rock band. It's been sick. We love it in the US We like the u.s. And we will be back Terrible last words if I was to die and that would be my last words. I would I wish they would end it sooner Fantastic
