00:00Hi, I'm Harrison Gordon from the band Harrison Gordon. We're here to show off our van for
00:13Digital Tour Bus. We're on tour right now with Free Throw and Bend Quad and it's been the best
00:18tour of our lives. So we're here to show how we're living day to day in our luxury little
00:22apartment we got. My name is Jagger. I play drums. I usually do most of the driving except
00:29for at night. I usually drink. So we got some Coke Zero. Big, big fan of Coke Zero. Way better
00:37than Diet Coke. Some kombucha, half drank kombucha for the gut. This one's a lavender lemonade.
00:45A few trinkets up here. I'm a big One Piece and Ninja Turtles guy so we have a bunch of
00:50One Piece and Ninja Turtles little characters that I keep up here. We stopped in Berkeley
00:56to go pick up some records. So I have a bunch of records and cassettes in here. Some cologne
01:02up front. Yep. Classy. And I usually keep my backpack up here so in case I need a quick
01:08snack when I'm driving. Tuna has been prohibited from being eaten in the van. It's banned. It's
01:15fully banned. So I try to get it in quick when we're at like a rest stop or something. And
01:20then I got to keep the fiber up. So I have these carb balanced tortillas. Very, very high
01:26in fiber. They go to this fucking like 18 grams of fiber which is like 70% of your daily intake.
01:33You have like seven of them a day. So I just I just like yeah I'll just stick my hand down
01:37in my bag while I'm driving and I'll just snack on a tortilla. He never even uses our emergency
01:42peanut butter we have. Yeah I know. Too high in cows. Up on the dash we got a couple hats from
01:47old school hats that are quite silly. And then we have some Ricolas that are mine and
01:54we have a Wally and we have a Bucky somewhere. Yeah. I keep the Bucky up here in an illegal
02:01spot and no one else is really that about breaking the law as me. So usually Bucky goes on the
02:05floor. But he's kind of supposed to chill right up here with everybody. But we have Wally
02:09the Wallaby. Someone's keys are up here. Some AirPods. I think these are my AirPods. No those
02:15are mine. Oh well you know. Not a big deal. We have all of our important information in
02:21our trunk along with some equally important stuff we have in here. We got some of these
02:27guys. Actually a lot of these guys. What else? There's more shit in here. Oh dude. Yeah
02:33oh we have the Eggman. This used to be on our merch table but people kept trying to take
02:37it. So now we just leave it in the van our little Eggman. And a light bulb that you're not
02:41supposed to touch with your fingers. It's been it's definitely been touched. Yeah. I
02:48think I grabbed that at some point. Yeah. It's driver pick music. It's pretty much how
02:51we've always ran. Yeah like 90% of the time. Occasionally on our we have a TM this tour
02:55for the first time. Connor and he likes to play some of the most absurd stuff you've ever
03:00heard in your entire life. Like he'll just play like meme like songs that are like meme songs
03:05that are like eight minutes long. It's really wild. Yesterday he drove like 10 hours straight
03:12and I think to keep him going he hit bad and bougie but once it hit offsets first it just
03:20went offset. Woo woo woo woo. It was about 20 minutes. I lost my earbud so I just sit in
03:26the back and have to just listen to whatever he chooses. But yeah usually it's kind of dealer
03:32choice as far as music goes. And we're not really huge podcast people. Like occasionally
03:37someone will throw something on. But for the most part we're music and and joking around
03:43doing bits. Yeah I listen. I try to I try to like split it up. We honestly don't listen
03:50to a ton of even really like rock music in general. Like we'll go out with like oldies
03:55or country. Or like today like when we got into Chicago I was playing a bunch of like
04:01Chicago rap. So kind of location based where we're at is kind of you know just getting get
04:07in the feel. Getting the feel for the town, the city, wherever we're at. That sort of thing
04:10is usually what I try to do when I'm driving. Yeah. Hi I'm Jake. Hi I'm Warp and Bass.
04:16This is we usually are commandeered up here. This is my spot on the right. I just we shut the
04:21door and I just shove as much shit down there. And it falls out when I open the door. Every
04:25time. Every time. He's insisted on his bag being here. My book bag and my laptop sits there. The
04:30pretzel bites too. The pretzel bites. This is actually really light. Usually we have like
04:34a bunch of stuff right here. So to get out from this spot is like an Olympic sport. Every
04:39time I have to get out. Yeah. I have to climb over everybody. Or like you'll get out and you'll
04:43put your pillow like right here. And I like step on it. You're like dude. Yeah. Even though you
04:48put it like where I have to get out. I have my oh shit handle. Um. This is my pillow.
04:54My neck pillow. Cause I don't have anything like lean on. So this is a god tier. Um. The
05:00pretzel bites. The aforementioned pretzel bites. I think I've. Oh. Those have been. I bought
05:04those last tour I think. Covered in water. I think I bought those on our last tour. Oh no.
05:08The can of dries exploded. Okay. I'll do that. Yep. One of them exploded. Oh my
05:12calamity. A calamity for this feature. Oh and my fucking phone charger. Now this video
05:18just turned from a documentary to a tragedy. Yeah. Oh my god. Anybody want to explain your
05:23spot? Uh. You want to explain yourself? Uh. I sit here typically. Um. I've been playing
05:31Nintendo Switch a lot. I've been playing a lot of Mario Kart and Phoenix Wright. Uh. Instead
05:37of. Up here they don't listen to podcasts but I've been listening to a lot of podcasts. I've
05:40been listening to Mike Duncan's Revolutions series. Um. And I also have this book that
05:45I've been reading. Uh. It's a big one so I don't have to bring like 50 different books.
05:50Uh. Cause I like history. I was a teacher before this. Um. But yeah. I sit here. I have
05:56my trusty pillow. And I sleep a lot. They make fun of me for sleeping a lot. Like they're
06:01like remember when this funny story happened? I'm like I was probably sleeping. What?
06:05I think? Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm always sleeping. I'm the sleeper. Oh yeah. Yeah.
06:11We got. Oh yeah. Yeah. We got. Some slides. I have not seen the light of the day yet. My
06:15gym. My gym bag. My gym bag. My gym bag. My gym bag. My gym bag. I don't know. I don't know
06:19what this is. I don't know. I see just all of our stuff. We have like a floor mattress.
06:21Auto emergency. We have an auto emergency. We have an auto emergency kit that I didn't know
06:26we had. So that's good. Grab my gym bag. There's a whole bunch of. I keep this. This
06:31is my. Every touring band out there needs to know. A portable charger that is like actually
06:36a portable. Not just like a small one but like a real battery is the nicest thing to ever
06:41have on the road. I can charge like eight things on this at once. It's got like a whole flashlight
06:44built in. Uh. This keeps me sane back here. Uh. Cause I let it die on our big road trip we
06:51just had. And I just basically sat back here and thought about things for like eight hours
06:56straight. Uh. Which was not very fun. Horrible. Horrible if you're a guy like me. Horrible
07:00if you're in a Nemo band. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I mean great for the record. Great for normal
07:04people but for a guy like me I don't want to be thinking for eight hours straight. I want
07:07to be doing things. Yeah. Let's get into this. Uh. So we've got some Cheez-Its. A big bag
07:13of Gardettos. Uh. Peanut butter pretzels. Two different kinds of Tums. This is important. This
07:19is really important. Tums spread. Chewables and normal. Uh. Liquid IV. Protein bars.
07:26There's some loose. Looks like clean underwear. In there. Hopefully clean underwear. It's
07:30not. Yeah. A magnesium supplement I have not touched. Some popcorn. Uh. But yeah. This
07:37is sort of my back little bunk area. Uh. I'm a big lay down guy. I don't usually sit. Funny
07:44fact if I am sitting like straight. I'm sitting like this. It just hovers over this phone like
07:51right here. We usually do it after sleep when I do that. True. Uh. Or you comment on my
07:55Bellatro runs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have. I always have things to say. Big Bellatro. You've got
07:58more hats back here. This one's our hat and this one is uh my hat. Uh. The milk me daddy.
08:04Which gets us in trouble a lot in the south when I would wear it. Cause you'd wear it in
08:07Walmart and not think about it. Usually you feel like people kept staring at me in the
08:11Walmart. My usual position is just like legs fully extended out here. Laying like this.
08:16Cheeks. Phone dead. So I'm just kind of sitting here. Head forward. Hopefully something good
08:22is playing on the radio. Or I hit one of these. RTM Connor taught me about this move. It's
08:27kind of a freaky position. But it's very comfortable for a long drive. This is also
08:30like whoever drove for a long time. They want a break. They sit back here. I sit back here
08:34or whoever uh just drove will get the priority spot back here. And then I move up. And we
08:40all kind of move up one spot. I've been finding myself in the passenger seat a lot more than
08:44previous runs on this one. Yeah. From uh from from one of the one of the uh crevices down
08:49here. I did dig up the gym bag. Uh very very essential on the run. So some absolutely destroyed
08:54new balances. And look at the tread on those. Just just cleaned on. Smooth. You're slipping.
08:59And they reek. Uh they reek of shit. Um and then a uh lifting lifting belt. This one uh keeps
09:06my back protected. Um what else do I have in here? Uh some knee uh uh uh knee um uh sleeves
09:13to keep your knees in place. And um I think I got some more. Is there a sock? Um I don't
09:21think that's been in there since before we left. Uh and there's something else down. Oh yes. And uh
09:29wrist straps. Wrist straps for uh the Romanian deadlifts in the gym where uh um I can't really
09:35get a full grip on the bar so you gotta. Dude speak to them. Yeah you got you got you need you
09:40need these. So they they go they go on your hand like uh like such and then you put the bar and you
09:46wrap this around the bar. Oh tutorial. Um speak on the Romanian. That that that uh distributes
09:51the weight throughout the rest of your arms so uh when your when your hands get tired you
09:55can uh just use that. Yeah that's the gym bag in there. Thank you man. You learn. So because
10:03my phone's always dead I spend a lot of time back here. I have two little things. I have
10:06this thing that I like to pull on. And then if you can get back in here there's just a hole
10:11in the felt here. And I kind of just like to put my finger in here and dig around a little
10:14bit. It's kind of one of the other things I do. Those are my two hobbies in the van. Oh
10:18I do like punching that seat. Punch that when I'm sitting there. Yeah when someone's up
10:21front I like to punch the seat uh whenever I someone says something funny. All right
10:26perfect. Let's show off the backpack. So we are no-trailered right now uh which means everything
10:32we have has to fit up here. Uh Benquad's lucky enough to share their drum kit with us every
10:36night. Sips a lot of space but this is this is our big hack for touring bands is uh taking
10:42your merch out of cardboard boxes and putting it into like Ikea moving bags saves you an
10:47ungodly amount of space. It is it is hilarious because you can these these can fit anywhere
10:52versus boxes that you really have to like Tetris. So that saves us a lot of space. They don't
10:57slide around very much uh and we can usually manage to fit all our stuff in here. Uh today
11:03we had a huge re-up in merch so we were all sitting with like big boxes in our lap for like
11:07an hour but you know things aren't so bad. I have this duct taped in right now because
11:13this thing does not stay uh but besides that our van is pretty luxurious I'd say. I think
11:19I think we have one of the most luxurious vans in the entire planet if I had to guess.
11:22So thanks for checking out our van. We're a band called Harrison Gordon. Uh we just put
11:26out a new EP called Sprint and Break recently. Uh thanks for looking around and seeing what
11:31we have going on I hope we can see you sometime out on the road in the future.
11:42You
