00:00Alright, come on in guys, come on in. How are you guys doing? Alright, so this is our bus. This is where I spend most of my time here on the road.
00:26Alright, this is my old year. Hawaiian country reggae artist. Been on the road for some time now. But anyway, yeah, so this is our bus. Where you guys are standing right now is where the driver is. His name is Todd and he's a great driver. I love him. We love him.
00:48If you want to come inside, this is my lovely fiance right here and my son. He comes on the road with us. This is his first tour too. Like I said, he's the original rock star.
01:02So I have two TVs here, two Samsungs. Right now I'm watching 50 First Dates. It's one of my favorite movies right there. Super good.
01:11This is the lounging area. This is where I do my work sometimes. I have my meetings and everything like that. It's kind of where everybody just hangs out, chills. This is our kitchen. It's kind of messy right now.
01:26But we've got our hot plate here. Coffee, hydrogen water, tea, and look at this. Good old cigars. This is my stash right here. Nobody sees that.
01:39Alright, so this is where we do our cooking. I don't really do the cooking she does. Yeah, so I should cook up all kinds of stuff, man.
01:47Cherry, steaks, whatever, you know. So yeah, that's where this is done. And of course, we do cooking in this. Can't go anywhere without microwave.
01:57Let's open this up here. Actually, I might be surprised. I don't know what's in here. Honestly.
02:04Okay, cool. We got a speaker and some protein. And right next to it, rice. So yeah, you can see that I'm decently healthy.
02:13This one. Oh, look at this. Pistachios. Chips. Right here. This is the secret sauce. Chick-fil-A sauce. Goes good with all kinds of stuff.
02:24Right here. More protein and speakers. And what do we have here? This is ours. Oh yeah, look at that. Look at that.
02:36Look. Oh, look. I shouldn't have shown this. We got my leftover bottled tequila right here. My favorite. Don Filano. Don't tell anyone. Perfect place to put it.
02:46And this is where our cups is. That's where the tequila goes. Right in there. Here is our ice box. I wouldn't say I have the most healthiest stuff in here, but I'm trying to keep it decently healthy.
03:00Milks. Some good sodas right here. Guinness. Fruits and stuff like that. What we have on the right here is number one, tequila. We have that. Gotta have that.
03:11And then we have like sandwiches and chips and stuff like that. And some of them, actually most of it goes to the other bus, which I'll show you guys later.
03:19But this one, I usually shop at Whole Foods for this stuff. So yeah. Freezer. Yep. Let's look at this right here.
03:26Gotta have the ice cream. Look at this. Mochi balls. Look at that chocolate chip cookie dough. This is actually hers.
03:40That's cool. This is where the boys get to use the bathroom. This is more of the boys spot right here. And we do have these drawers down here.
04:00Which this is the water drawer. Here is empty. Vitamins and supplements and stuff like that. What else we got here?
04:12Oh, look at our cups, our bowls, paper plates. We don't like to do dishes. Here we got more shoes. So this is the boys shoes right here. This is where they get to stay.
04:24I get to keep my hands over there. And here is clothes. Also the boys. But my shoe collection goes right under here. And as you can see, it's kind of messy. But I got my running shoes, my other boots and everything like that. More running shoes. And because I'm from Hawaii, we like to wear slippers, also known as flip-flops.
04:52So this bus. So this bus, it's a slide out. So this part actually, when we're on the road, it comes more in the middle. But when we're parked, we extend it out and there's a lot more room here. So I like to tour in these kind of buses.
05:09So I want to take you in to the bunk space. So I don't travel with too much people with me. They're usually on the bus bus. But I have my two guys here. My good friends. He's opening up for us, so I let him stay with me.
05:29And the other shit is this. I call them junk bunks. And we just put all of our shit that we don't want to have in the room. There. More junk.
05:42Look. The diapers even go here. I like that.
05:46Our laundry. Everything. And we've got another one up here.
05:50See? He's put all of our stuff in there. Flashlights, paper towels, all that stuff.
05:57And yeah, this is pretty simple.
06:00You know, it's kind of burglary. It swings down.
06:02And then this is the master room. This is my room. This is where all the magic happens. This is where I sleep.
06:13So, this is the master room.
06:18I got my queen bed over here.
06:21That's where I rest my head every night.
06:24I like to come.
06:26After I just, you know, sweated my ass off in the venue, I like to come here and relax for a little bit.
06:33And then I will head to the bathroom.
06:36And this is where I take a shower.
06:40I got a full shower and bathroom set up here.
06:44Brush my teeth. Get ready for bed.
06:46Got some stuff over here.
06:48My sleep app machine over here.
06:51That's where you put it.
06:52And then we got some space in here.
06:55That's where I got all the stuff.
06:57The Q-tips and everything like that.
07:00She usually hogs this one.
07:05This is some more stuff.
07:06This is where we got to put our...
07:07We got some closets here.
07:08I don't want anything jumping out on me.
07:10But this is her clothes right here.
07:13And we share these ones too.
07:17There's all kinds of space.
07:18Oh, these are the baby clothes here.
07:20I'm sorry.
07:20As you can see, I'm not the guy who does this.
07:23More baby stuff.
07:25And then I got my couch here.
07:28It's kind of where after I take a shower, I'll just lounge and watch my little screen TV right there.
07:35Which we have Bluey on.
07:36Which is my son's favorite show to watch before he goes to bed.
07:42And yeah, so this is kind of my space and where I like to hang out after the show and have my rest.
07:49All right, so now that you've seen my bus, I'm going to take you to the other bus.
07:54This is where all the other band members are.
07:58All right, so just follow me.
07:59Follow me.
08:01So brother Connor right here.
08:03I'm going to take you to the camera.
08:04Kiko Mann, TM, Ian.
08:07My talk's right there.
08:09And here, let me show you the bus.
08:11Come on, get ready.
08:12Getting ready?
08:13Kiko.
08:14Come here, Kiko.
08:15Let's go.
08:15I don't know too much about this bus, all right?
08:19So, let's try again.
08:21So guys, that's cool.
08:23So, this is the lounge room here.
08:26And I guess you could also call it the green room.
08:30Pretty much.
08:32Got some Fortnite going on.
08:33We have a lot of NBA 2K, Madden, Fortnite, FIFA, anything you want.
08:39There's a big competitive spirit in this bus, you know?
08:42Oh, yeah.
08:43Just like who washes the dishes, very competitive, you know?
08:46We have our snack area.
08:48Sure.
08:48So we have just basic snacks, also emergency meals, you know?
08:54Then pain reliever.
08:56Need that because these guys are on my ass every day.
08:59Shoyu.
09:00If you're an islander, you'll know what this is.
09:01Kiko Mann.
09:03If you're not, sorry about it.
09:05Then we got the Keurig here.
09:08This is a little more, you know, just...
09:10Yeah, and then we have...
09:13This is a trash bin down here.
09:14A little extra alcohol.
09:17That's where that went.
09:18If you want to even...
09:19Oh, that's where that went.
09:22That's where that went.
09:23Oh, yeah.
09:24Oh, I just suck at it.
09:26Oh, dang.
09:28There you go.
09:29Okay, and that's where the cleaning stuff because it tastes like cleaning stuff.
09:34So this is our team banjitar bought by the other guitar player, Josh Namba.
09:38It's a guitar-strung instrument, but it sounds like a banjo because of the snare head and the...
09:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, it just tastes...
09:45Badjitar.
09:54It's strictly competitive gaming to keep us arguing with each other.
09:58That's all it is.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Making up excuses for home court advantage.
10:02Like, it gets sickening.
10:03You don't want to hear this.
10:05You don't want to hear it.
10:05This one is free game.
10:08This one's courteous, yeah.
10:10It's all in the back one.
10:11The back table is fine.
10:13This is a drinking table.
10:14Yeah, right?
10:14We'll get to the competitive table eventually.
10:18But, yeah, up here we have a bunch of storage.
10:21A fridge.
10:23This is...
10:23We're a pretty clean crew.
10:26I mean, leftovers go in here.
10:27We have a rule of 24 hours.
10:29If it's in there, it's got to get out.
10:31Everything else kind of is free game.
10:32We have a bunch of stuff.
10:34Yeah, Ian, our...
10:37Oh, actually, here.
10:39Ian, our TM, just loves Miller High Life, the champagne of beers.
10:43And, personally, it's pretty shitty.
10:45It's kind of...
10:46I think it's a TM thing.
10:47Like, what the fuck?
10:49Freezer.
10:50Oh, freezers.
10:51Oh, yeah.
10:51This is a good spot to be in.
10:53This is relatively empty.
10:54Usually, it's pretty full of...
10:55Drop that extra.
10:57Oh, there you go.
10:57Still strong.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Drop that extra.
11:00This is all Chris's.
11:02What is that?
11:02This is all our front-of-house-man dragon.
11:04All his stuff.
11:05Seriously?
11:06Yep.
11:07Every night, you get one popsicle.
11:10See, I'm learning something new about the band.
11:12Right?
11:12Here we have the first restroom.
11:16Strictly piss, please.
11:19Yeah, it works really nice.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Nothing really crazy to talk about there.
11:25And, here, if you see these, all of our lights are kind of controlled by this touch screen.
11:31There are four throughout the bus.
11:33I put them in myself with...
11:35I just got engineer training and electrical training, so I'm kind of trying it out with
11:39these.
11:39They're working well right now.
11:41Got bunks.
11:42We have 12 bunks back here.
11:44Ten.
11:44So, we have two junk bunks.
11:46Here's one.
11:47This is my bag right here.
11:48It kind of just sits up here in the junk bunk.
11:50That way, I can always get to it.
11:52This is my bunk.
11:53Want to see?
11:54No, no.
11:54You're not going to see it.
11:55This is kind of what a bunk looks like, though.
11:57Six feet by about two and a half, three feet.
12:00It's pretty comfortable.
12:01We have two fans inside.
12:03Two vents.
12:04One for when the engine is on.
12:06One for when the generator is on.
12:07So, at least they're both always flowing.
12:09You have outlets to charge your stuff.
12:12You have storage space for miscellaneous things.
12:18Another temperature.
12:19You can control temperature.
12:21You can control the lights.
12:22Yep.
12:23Here's the second junk bunk.
12:26More shit back here.
12:28And now we get to the real personal space.
12:31And the hog is in his end.
12:34He's in his zone.
12:36This man's thing stays here all the time.
12:39Yep.
12:40He's editing every night up until about 5 a.m.
12:44What's up, guys?
12:45Chris, Molly's videographer.
12:47This is my rig right here.
12:48I film the band all day, all night.
12:52And when I get some free time, I try and dump footage on my laptop here if you want to check
12:56out my little setup.
12:57So, I'm just editing part of today's video.
13:02And then when the show happens, we're going to film that and then dump that into this project
13:07file and then upload it on YouTube.
13:10And then Glenn will approve it.
13:13And then once he approves, it goes right on our YouTube.
13:15So, everything is being filmed, edited, and posted in real time.
13:19So, you guys can relive the experience and kind of see exactly what we're doing behind the scenes
13:24and on stage in real time.
13:27Yep, and so back here we have our shower.
13:31One-man shower.
13:32You can fit two if you're really excited.
13:36Here's another restroom.
13:37And then the fortunate people get to use the storage that's back here.
13:43This is kind of a much bigger storage space.
13:47I think me and CB are the only ones back here.
13:49I don't dry my t-shirts, so I need the hanging space.
13:53There it is.
13:54We have more.
13:55Another PS5.
13:56This one is kind of strictly for one-player games because, you know, it can't really fit too
13:59many people.
14:01And that's the bus.
14:03Let's get out of here.
14:04All right.
14:04First, I want to thank Bus Invaders for coming over here and seeing how we do our thing
14:08and stuff like that.
14:10Thank the fans.
14:11Thank you guys for watching.
