00:00What's up? My name is Miko, this is my drummer back.

00:13Right now, we are currently on Nightly Soar across North America.

00:18We're here for seven shows or so.

00:20I have a couple of headlines after that, too.

00:22We're just out here promoting my last EP, Internet Hometown Hero,

00:26and the deluxe that actually drops tonight when we're recording this.

00:29I don't know when this is coming out, though.

00:31But it'll be out, it'll be out.

00:33Let's take a look inside of this, is it a Chrysler?

00:36Chrysler Pacifica.

00:38Chrysler Pacifica.

00:39Sorry, I'm not the one driving, so.

00:42So how this looks, driving, is exactly what you see right now,

00:46because Miko here doesn't drive.

00:48I don't have my license.

00:49So I'm the only one that does the driving,

00:52so I am always in the passenger, not in the passenger seat, sorry,

00:55in the driver's seat, and I have my resident passenger princess

00:58beside me at all times.

00:59He doesn't let me have ox duty, though.

01:01No.

01:02Well, he falls asleep most of the time,

01:04so I put on what I want to listen to,

01:06and then sometimes he wakes up, then I'll play his music,

01:09just to annoy him.

01:11Nightly, Nightly's new album.

01:13Yeah.

01:14It's such a good record.

01:16And today we were playing through 1975,

01:20the live album that came out a couple months ago.

01:22A deeper cut, Tennyson.

01:24If anyone knows Tennyson watching, I love Tennyson.

01:26I listened through a couple of his projects.

01:29Van Camino, we were going through a couple of Nashville.

01:32Chris Barancho was out of Nashville.

01:34Yeah.

01:35Oh my God, dude.

01:36But I suppose it's longer drives,

01:38and half of them usually are me by myself with this guy who takes a nap,

01:42so I'm an album listener through those,

01:45just to make sure there's always something on that I'm enjoying,

01:48keeping me alive.

01:50We were just talking with Nightly.

01:52They told us that they cleaned up their van,

01:54they decorated it.

01:55We did not do anything of the sort.

01:57We kept it messy and real.

02:01Most of it's drinks.

02:02Yeah.

02:03There's actually a Cool Ranch,

02:05a bag of chips,

02:06and then the rest of it.

02:07Oh my God, I haven't opened this one yet.

02:08That's disgusting.

02:13Yeah, honestly, most of this we could clean up.

02:15We could.

02:16There's a lot of empty bottles in here,

02:17but it's just the last thing.

02:18Do you want to time-lapse us cleaning?

02:20Yeah.

02:21This is...

02:22How old is this bag of Cool Ranch?

02:24Too old.

02:25Way too old.

02:26This car has smelled like Cool Ranch for the last three days.

02:30Yeah, and it's been a hot couple of days,

02:31so when that sits in the car,

02:33it's not too nice.

02:35I won't lie.

02:36I honestly don't know why it's still here,

02:37but I'm going to put it back,

02:38because I feel like I should.

02:40What else?

02:41Oh, the liquid death.

02:42The liquid death.

02:43So, just being a viewer in general,

02:46my favorite thing is liquid death sparkling water.

02:48I love liquid death to death.

02:50I hate sparkling water.

02:52I'm a sparkling water, like, avid hater.

02:54There was this one time where I was at Matt's house.

02:57We were trying to run a session,

02:59and...

03:00Oh, yeah.

03:01Yeah, this was like the first time that I had ever had sparkling water.

03:05He...

03:06He has one of the machines at his house,

03:08so...

03:09He poured me a glass, gave it to me.

03:10I was like, huh, I don't really like this.

03:12And 30 minutes later, I had the worst migraine of my life

03:15for the following 17 hours.

03:18Probably not related at all, but I'm going to relate it.

03:21Uh...

03:22You haven't had sparkling water since.

03:23Yeah.

03:24Yeah.

03:25But, liquid death across the board.

03:26Us and our whole team, we all love it.

03:28Yeah.

03:29I...

03:30These are all...

03:31These are actually all the still water ones.

03:33I...

03:34I just like how it comes out of a can.

03:36I don't know why.

03:37I just like the metallic piece.

03:39We're turning this into a liquid death match.

03:41That's fine.

03:42We do love liquid death.

03:43Uh...

03:44I mean, it's usually just in our luggage.

03:45Yeah.

03:46Just to carry it.

03:47I mean, like, yeah.

03:48This run, it's just the two of us,

03:50so there isn't much going on in the rest of the van.

03:54Like, we usually have this stacked with, like, gear.

03:57We push one of the seats down to make room for everything else.

04:01But, yeah.

04:02Right now, like, it's just a bunch of stuff that we've collected over time.

04:08This bag of M&M's...

04:10For some reason, every single startup tour,

04:13we always get, like, the biggest bag of M&M's on our rider.

04:17And just, it's always the zipper one.

04:20So, we end up getting smaller ones every single time

04:23refilling the same bag over and over again.

04:26Uh...

04:27And just couldn't react.

04:28Yeah.

04:29Collect all the M&M's as we go through them.

04:31It gets really confusing when you start mixing regular M&M's with mini M&M's.

04:36That's not a very pleasant sensory experience for me.

04:40I might be the only one that's bothered by it.

04:43But, yeah.

04:44Other than that, what usually lives here is, uh,

04:47our own, our luggage, sweaters, and the M&M's.

04:51That's, uh, that's a special place.

04:52Yeah, I'm gonna have my guitar sometimes.

04:53Yeah.

04:54Yeah.

04:55Our jackets whenever we don't wanna wear them.

04:57Because this car...

04:58Is this gonna get me...

04:59Oh, yeah.

05:00Yeah.

05:01Is this gonna get me off a Chrysler ad?

05:02Possibly.

05:03This car ad doesn't get cold.

05:04Ever.

05:05So, it hasn't been that fun of a couple days in the afternoon driving at noon, one o'clock.

05:10Um, because the air conditioning doesn't feel like it does anything at this time.

05:14Like, you feel the air, you feel it's cold, but you, you yourself never get cold.

05:19It'll make us appreciate the upgrade that we get next.

05:22Yeah.

05:23When we hopefully have air conditioning in the next vehicle.

05:25Hopefully.

05:26I remember one time we thought we were going to, and it just did not pan out that way

05:31at all.

05:32Yeah.

05:33This is the bag.

05:34Um, so usually we put our rig, all our gear on top, and his guitar.

05:41Um, this, to be very clear, is his manager's.

05:44Yeah.

05:45This is not our bag.

05:46We've been, we've been trying to get a black bag to come with us because this is usually

05:51what we carry merch in because we don't know how to carry merch any better.

05:56Uh, but yeah, we've just been using whatever leftover bags my manager is willing to give

06:03us.

06:04This one's like, uh, yeah, it's, it's garbage for sure.

06:09We, we've broken off both zippers and somehow found a way to finagle it open.

06:13But they're here because merch is sold out.

06:15Yeah.

06:16So, uh, we don't need it right now because they're empty.

06:19So that's why they're sticking in here.

06:21Oh, your luggage is here, actually.

06:22Yeah, my luggage got made into the back today, but usually it's in the middle.

06:26Uh, we honestly are going through, like, we haven't done a lot of tours with other people.

06:36Like, we've had a lot of experience when it comes to, like, headlining and nothing else.

06:41So we've just been raw dogging the entire experience.

06:44And this tour and, like, a couple other opening slots that we've had are, like, kind of our

06:48first exposures to how to actually properly operate.

06:53So, funny enough, this is, like, the first time that we, we purchased lights for our merch.

07:01This seems like something that should be so obvious to us.

07:04Like, putting lights on the merch that you're displaying.

07:06But it's just something that we never thought of.

07:08Uh.

07:09Yeah.

07:10We love you guys for buying it anyways, though.

07:11Yeah.

07:12For all the people that come to Miko shows.

07:13Yeah.

07:14You guys kill it.

07:15You guys kill it even though you can't see what you're buying.

07:17Even though you can't see what you're buying.

07:18Yeah.

07:19Um.

07:20But, yeah.

07:21That's basically it.

07:22It's a pretty bare-bones setup.

07:24Yeah.

07:25This is our little van so far.

07:28Uh.

07:29Not much going on right now, but hopefully there's more eventually.

07:33But, yeah.

07:34I mean, like, this run has been fun so far.

07:36Me and you guys sing along to all the songs on Internet of Hometown Hero.

07:39It's been a blast.

07:40I can't wait for more shows.

07:42If you want to come up to one, uh.

07:44You can probably find one over on my Instagram, Miko Toronto.

07:48Or, uh, on my website, mikotoronto.com slash tour.

07:52That's, that's where you'll find the dates.

07:54Uh.

07:55Yeah.

07:56I know I have a lot of headliners coming up at the end of this year.

07:59But, besides that, I'm sure we'll be on the road whenever you're gonna look for it.

08:04So, keep an eye out.

08:06Thanks.

08:09Bye.

08:10Bye.

08:11Bye.

08:12Bye.
