Hey guys, it's Ilamita. We're on the road with Rachel Chinariri and we're about to show you
what's in our van. So the trip has been, we're like a week into the trip and as of now I've
been the passenger princess but I plan on doing some driving. Mostly Brandon, our tour manager,
has been doing the driving and yeah I've just been right here getting the directions in,
getting the cool breeze. I have like the opposite music taste to everybody who's on this *******
tour so like I've been just like putting my airpods on and just listening to my my pop ----
but they've been you know they're all over here like you know studying ******* jazz you know.
I'm like it was cool the first day but after that I was like bro let me put my um my *******
Hayley Williams on. In this brown bag so on this tour we're we're not doing the typical tour life
we're keeping it healthy so we got some biologic strawberries. If you don't know they're the
sweetest strawberries in the world so well I don't know it's the one that's the sweetest
ones I've had. I have some dates straight from Saudi Arabia from Whole Foods. I have two shots
one for um one for immunity and I mean yeah one for immunity and one for just like loading I guess
right and we have some blueberries so we've been kind of keeping it pretty healthy this tour um
besides the couple you know Popeyes and runs that we've been trying to avoid. I just want to say I
did not want to go to Popeyes it was them but yeah we have the Popeyes cup oh here's our parking
ticket we got in Boston so that was fun um yeah oh I bought I had stopped and got some Dubai
chocolate there's just some random ---- I was craving um let me see some honey some tea I have
a portable tea kettle somewhere here so I've just been making tea on the go my little fan um I don't
know what these are I found these in New Hampshire the lady said they were good I haven't tried them
yet so we'll see and then I have my little proteins with me that I've been drinking
there's only four of us but for some reason we have a passenger van of one two three four five
rows amazing spectacular that means we all get to lay down and sleep take turns just like
taking naps and ---- um this is my vanity suitcase I have all my hair stuff and makeup and everything
to do my hair and leggings all that so this right here is an essential it's my asthma nebulizer
um it helps me uh breathe um this I've been having like a crazy crimp hair look throughout
the tour so this is like probably the most important thing if I lost this I probably would
just dip so don't tell anyone but we've been going like every green room we've been going to
so we had these honey crisp apples um mandarins all that and then I don't know who got this but
it wasn't me it actually was me um *******
we got these ******* vocal honey things so like I haven't taken one mind you I just
chugging this like bottle of honey over there in the front and there's this like I don't know
what it is it's like this honey that Rachel Chinnery actually gave to me and it literally
when I was sick in the first couple days of the tour cured me it's like some Asian herbal honey
but shout out to Rachel for giving that to me um yeah I think that's about it there's like uh
I just have this now here because I was getting ready but for the most part Javid takes this row
the second row is Jack and the last row is our videographer Money um that's kind of in our
assigned seats I bought these little like bayside breeze on every row to keep the car smelling good
I'm like I'm a germaphobe and I like when things smell good so I also have this
cotton clean cotton linen um I love like clean scents but yeah I've been big on making sure
that I've been wiping down the van every day I'm the you know clean freak here this is Javid's row
he's our drummer he's amazing he does all the emcee and drummer stuff um he literally just
knocks out I don't know how he knocks out so quick but he be knocking out right here
it's hard for me to sleep in a car so I'll have like a little 20-30 minute nap and call it a day
um this is as you can tell the guitar this is Jack's row um to be honest this ******* van is
so huge we can barely hear him sometimes we have to like have him walk all the way to the front
I actually go for walks around sometimes like literally I mean I actually use the last row
to like stretch and do my yoga back there that's the yoga section um yeah so this is this is Jack's
row this is his guitar his backpack his little pillow I think or I don't know what that is um
yeah that's that's that this last row money just joined us on the tour so he's pretty new so as you
can see his row is pretty empty um the rest of us have you know a whole bunch of ---- packed up but
shout out money to keeping his row clean um this last row like I said it's our yoga section um but
we just have some ---- right here right now because we were cleaning up uh I literally just
come back here I'll just do a couple stretches like so little vibes you know little it's so
******* big in here like you could I could literally stand up it's crazy um yeah so that's
basically all the rows all five rows of this van that we are completely taking advantage of so this
is the back um this is where all our suitcases go when we're on the road um this is our snack cart
okay so I know I said we were being healthy but listen it's not me it's them like you saw me I
have my fruits and ---- they're they're acting up um and then this is a wagon that I literally just
bought from Home Depot because we have so much ---- to carry um as you can see the box but yeah
let me the snacks aren't too bad they're not too bad um these are actually snacks we've been
also stealing from green rooms um listen man any any ******* penny we could save bro
this is my asthma machine I've been using I have like pretty bad asthma especially in cold weather
so I've been just doing this every night my nebulizer um and yeah that's that's about it
we're sharing drums with the other uh opening act busy so usually we've been taking turns bringing
the drum so it would be like just a whole bunch of ******* drum kits in here um and then our
suitcases like it literally gets stacked up to here so you know what I mean and then we'll be
driving and it just you know what I mean be jolting back and forth but all right y'all that was what
was inside our van thank you guys so much for having me um we're currently on the road with
Rachel Chinariri and me and her actually have a song that's coming out on June 6th it's called
