Just kind of sit down on that and you kind of just lean back and we're keeping a tally of it
And then we're going to see who jacks off the most because you got to keep your t up

Come on in come on in man
What up everybody yo, what's going on, uh me and toby morelli here
Yeah, we're just chilling. Cheers having a couple buds. Uh, we're gonna show you where we live man
We've been on the road for how long we've been on the road?
Well, it's almost uh, it's like four weeks or so. We got like two more two more weeks burn it out
Staying alive
Man we've just been going going going. Yeah, it's like no time to sleep just like hanging out all night ******* playing shows
Yeah, great. So yeah, we got this. Uh, we just bought this actually
Paid in cash. So let's sit. Yeah. Uh, oh ----. We got shots. Oh, yeah, we got shots. All right. Cheers, man. Yeah, man
Oh, yeah. Yeah, man. It's ******* been a wild tour
Well, you know what? Let's just show you how we live man. Let's show you how we live
All right. So let's start where we start. That's the thing. I don't even know where to start
You know what? Let's start here man. So right here. We got the j-o-t and j-o-t stands for jack off tally, right? So
Basically, whatever we're doing is like whenever we jack off then we're keeping a tally of it
And then we're gonna see who jacks off the most because you got to keep your t up, right?
Toby look at toby's high team and toby is soaring with the t brother and then i'm coming in a close second
But I gotta add one actually I did jack off just upstairs
At the house of blues house of goose, dude. That's what i'm talking about. Then we got spin. She's doing pretty good
Let's see dean is kind of lagging behind a little bit brett's doing. Okay change the driver
So he might be pumping off up there a little bit, but that's kind of dangerous, dude
We got our merch girl channing. She's not playing the game fair enough. She doesn't want to play
She doesn't have to play it's a gentleman's game or you know adrian. He's our ld. He's our larry david, right?
So he's coming up in here. He's got about five. I think six maybe jack offs and that's in the last
Four weeks, so he's really got a low t brother. So that's our jack. I think that calls to celebrate
I think we gotta celebrate here. All right another shot
All right
Yeah, sometimes it's a bit hard to jack off in some of these bathrooms because my testicles hang so low my spodum just droops down
into the toilet water
It's like real lots of skin down there. You know what i'm saying? You ever gone to a backpack on acid brother?
It's like that. It's just layers of layers, you know, it's just endless layers. So anyways, well, what else we got going on?
Oh, what's the bag? Well, okay. So the bag, uh, well
The bag is a little tricky, okay, so we're gonna let you in on a little secret
So you can't use the toilet on the bus for anything but pee. Okay, so if you have to ----
You gotta do what's called a hot bag, right?
Yeah
Hot bag in the bag and you sit in the bag you line the toilet
With the with the bag and you ---- in the bag and you tie it up
The problem is none of these venues want us to dump all our ---- into their dumpsters
So basically we gotta just kind of we're trying to you know, we we just gotta pile them up
Until we can uh get rid of them. There's no proper waste control in most of the city
So I think you know all the all the venues are giving us bananas and blood lights
So, you know, we're tearing through this ---- and because we only have two we only have one bathroom
We got one bad, you know if two guys have to go we just have this out here
Just in case something so you can just simply, you know
You just kind of sit down on that and you kind of just lean back
And then there you go. All right, and so from there you wrap it up and voila. You got something like that, right?
So anyways, like that's oh i'm stuck
So that's the hot bag and then let's let's see what's in the fridge
Come on down man. We like to keep it, you know, I don't mind the drinks
You can grab one if you want if you're thirsty or we got okay
So sometimes if you got a real stinky one, dude, then you know, it's kind of gnarly so we gotta refrigerate it, right?
Otherwise that smell gets to you and when you're drinking man, like you will throw up if you have to smell that ----
So we got your basic ---- in here man, we got kimchi
And a half a sandwich and you know, that's about it man like hot sauces, right?
These are probably not helping the hot bag situation, but they taste good. So, you know, what are you gonna do, right?
We haven't been eating too much on this tour. We've just been kind of full going. You know what I mean?
Yeah, you think sometimes when you're in the tour zone, like you don't need to eat that much right or sleep or anything
Well, we got other ---- in here too. Come on down here. What do we got here? Okay. We got another *******
This one
We got canned meatballs these are plant-based that's gonna make you ---- yourself
That's kind of nice brother. All right, what else we got?
Yo, this is the foosball table that we like to play because you know what you set it down on here
And then you feel like you're god, man
It's like you're god watching over a soccer game, dude. It's ******* nice
Yes, that's really good. Yeah, and then
We got that the tv. We don't even need it, man. We just talk. Yeah, we talk a lot
Most most nights we just talk for hours and hours and hours
So it's ******* you know, we're just trying to keep the momentum going. You know what i'm saying?
Oh, yeah, we got this here. We got if you check these out
These are uh stick on tattoos of our drummer spinch right there. So that's kind of nice
So, you know because we love him. It was his birthday. Happy birthday to spinch, man
Oh, okay. He's not dead. This is where we keep all our coins, you know, we got dirty ball
Who's dirty ball?
That's gene lamb because he fed his wife out of a dirty bowl one time and our manager brett saw it and he won't let
Him live it down. We got bed bug walk. That's a little rude. That's toby morelli because he had bed bugs
Uh, and i'm not going to say the other reason
Uh, this is me here less fat, but still fat and bald
That's because I gained some weight and I lost a little bit of weight, but I still got some weight and i'm bald
Circumcision that's spencer. That's because spencer's the only one in the band that is circumcised
Adrian, that's just his name
Shane that's his name, right?
We got joel. We're also known as joel. So joeliosis because he had an eye problem
Uh also jail, uh, he is our sound man
He makes all that happen count pegula count peg is our merch girl
And we call her that because she has pegged someone in the ass before so let's continue right along. Did you see my pager?

Yo hit up
Hit up spencer. You'll meet him outside. I'll meet him up. Yeah. Yeah, grab cash in there

Oh, that's like a solid log right there. Yeah, she likes to keep her hot bags
I guess in her bunk. I don't know. That's *******

Okay, and then if you come back here like this is kind of where we do a lot of the jacking off, you know

Keeping hydrated is really important. What else we got in here? And then you know, we oh, let me show you this. Uh,

uh, yeah, I don't know what else to say man, like just just living the dream like
You know for anyone out there who wants to get into like ******* playing death metal man, I would say this is it
It's like the best feeling ever like what it is, you know such a rush from playing and you know
It's amazing like go over you can just you can do whatever you want basically like come back you get on stage
You feel so powerful, you know, and then you just come on here and it's just like a good time all the time

To get to this point, you know, and and it's always just like it's always go go go
And before you realize it you're like you're doing it, but it doesn't feel the same
You know like when you were young and you were like
Just play in front of nobody and now we're here and now you get a little bit
Of notoriety and then all of a sudden like everything becomes bigger and more and more and you constantly need more
And then before you know it like you're trying to you're hitting this ******* top
