Context
This comes after several months of silence from the band. During On Cinema and More! In the Morning in 2022, Dekkar, then including Tim, went on tour, using Gregg's VFA Expert Tours Van. Following a disastrous first night of the tour, Tim crashed the VFA Expert Tours Van while Axiom and Manuel were asleep, causing serious injuries to everyone involved. Axiom was temporarily blinded, while Manuel was in a coma for weeks and briefly forgot the English language.
Gregg had dash cam footage of the crash, but opted not to share it after he and Tim began to get along in early 2023. During the 10th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special, Gregg had announced that the dash cam footage had been deleted. Gregg then launched the vfn, a streaming service for classic public domain movies, during the special. Hidden in the site's files, however, was the dash cam footage of the crash, which then was spread on Twitter by fans. It eventually spread into the studio, and Tim opted to play the footage on the set's big screen. The footage reveals that Tim had intentionally swerved the van off the road, in what many viewed as a suicide attempt. After the footage was played, Axiom and Manuel immediately walked out of the studio without saying a word, and Tim had a breakdown.

Synopsis
The video starts with Axiom and Manuel announcing that Tim Heidecker is no longer a member of Dekkar, a group decision that had not come easily. While they recognized Tim's contributions to Dekkar, they had reached a point where they could no longer work with him. They wish him well.
To replace Tim, Axiom and Manuel introduce the newest band member for Dekkar, Corwin Allard. Corwin drops down on the couch with them, and Manuel states he will bring a youthful and fresh sound to the band. They are interested in getting a manager or record label, and state that they can be contacted at dekkaremail@gmail.com.
The music video for “Ride With The Devil” is then played.
