hey welcome welcome welcome come on up
non points bus all right so uh we're
currently out on the million Watts tour
uh with headp sumo cycle in Varsity uh
it's been a great tour so far a lot of
sold out shows uh that you're hearing
right now is the train passing by uh cuz
today we are in Chicago at the bottom
Lounge so uh you're in the front cab of
the uh bus right now this is where Jacob
our driver uh drives he's an excellent
driver is part of the uh AP coach uh
company always get good sleep on here
cuz uh we got a good driver but this is
where he lives take it back to the rest
all right we got Adam herey people Adam
base filler he can tell you all about
his Bas inness yeah Bas
player average in air not
extraordinaire uh this is where I spend
most of my time I'm a front lounger he's
a back lounger this is kind of the way
we divide it up but uh yeah we share our
space we really explore the space you
know and welcome to the front Lounge
yeah so obviously eating we sit here to
eat but this is often times where Jason
our leadar player likes to let upside
down
likes to get his art on Pence that right
there that's one of his
newly works of art and this is all his
stuff so we got this guy that was made
for us years ago so that's pretty much
the template we always throw on our drum
heads to make the lines nice and clean
and just all kinds of Joanne Fabric
stuff
and that's often taken up by Jason but
uh it's well worth it because he does
all kinds of cool stuff there's a spare
drum heads right there that are all
blanks that he'll draw all over and
Rashid will do some as well um I've done
a couple but I'm
terrible mostly YouTube um we were
watching football earlier Jason's a a
DieHard Lions game which they just
Beed I don't even know what uh this
world was but yeah we're always goofing
around YouTube try to pull up coms stuff
or uh um occasional Netflix and we have
uh Amazon Prime loaded up to but yeah
and I will sit in any spot available all
right so here we're in the kitchen area
we got some of our delicious uh
Wisconsin brew that we uh enjoy um
really cabinets are normally spaced
out particular person stuffs their stuff
in a particular corner you you
definitely want to put your name on
stuff stuff uh because uh things get
eaten and drank when there's not a name
on it um you know so we we try to keep
uh you know out of other people's stuff
you know it's it's it's hard to eat well
out here so normally you make stops at
Walmart or stops at some grocery stores
to pick up food and uh you don't want
nobody eating your stuff put your name
on
it uh here are the refrigerators we have
uh two of them uh because the full size
doesn't fit here so as you can see
Canadian beer uh that's for the driver
keep him awake and alert um but yeah
this is basically the kitchen do a lot
of tea a lot of coffee and a lot of
microwave stuff cuz that's that came
with the bus thankfully yeah worked out
great going to go Ahad and shut that off
I don't know why that turned on on it
too um this is the uh the basic closet
uh we got some drum heads Big drum heads
and uh practice guitar here for uh one
of my guitar
players the latrine or the head since we
are in a vehicle this the uh the toilet
this is where we do all the stuff as you
can see we try to keep it as as clean as
possible you know no grosses no baddies
uh sure yeah uh main rule for the
bathroom is uh you pee on the floor you
clean it up nobody wants to be cleaning
up your pee so don't don't pee on the
floor
or clean it up yourself uh this
is uh the closet here um as you can see
someone is is disgusting they they don't
know how to clean up after themselves
this is a big giant no no and this is
the reason that's a no no is cuz that's
how you get ants nobody wants ants the
bunk area this is where our band sleeps
uh we got upper bunks middle and bottom
I'm a bottom bunker back lounger so I
like to go back this is what we call the
bus the bus scoot yes you have to scooch
past each other uh cuz no one fits
shoulder to- shoulder through these
things but uh yeah you got your curtain
try to keep it private this is basically
your apartment so nobody allowed in
anybody else's apartment unless you got
a key so right now currently we have 11
people on the bus there are 12 uh bunks
so this one currently is the junk bunk
uh where we toss extra bags or you know
jackets and stuff like that you usually
not shoes though e all right then we
make our way into the back Lounge area
uh this is where a lot of work gets done
uh as you can see there's computers out
there's cameras out um do a lot of our
social media a lot of our marketing our
ad workk our uh our strategies our mind
mapping all that stuff branding ideas
all come from basically this station and
then uh we basically watch the the Apple
TV freeze thing at all times there's
never anything on on this television
I've seen Dubai a billion different ways
I actually can name which one of the
cars watch this this one's a Bugatti
that one's a no yeah but this is this is
basically what I've seen for uh for the
last two weeks and uh this this is the
back Louch like to keep it warm in the
back Lounge uh it's best for the voice
and uh keep things classic back here as
you can see my my my dear friend Sean uh
let me borrow these two guys to listen
to cuz we have we currently have
Nonpoint cassettes and cassette players
uh that connect to Bluetooth speakers so
um I had mentioned that I had this tape
uh this Andrew Dice Clay tape it was one
of the first tapes that I ever bought as
a job and he said he had it I was like
man can I borrow it and then he brought
this bad boy Paul sure uh to comedic
Geniuses and uh I'm going to check these
out later so this will be back Lounge
fun later on today uh well back Lounge
is usually quieter uh we're doing stuff
back here and it's usually me and our
content creator Drew and then someone
else on their phone CU they want a
little quiet privacy front Lounge is
normally a little louder and
conversations are going back and forth
but back Lounge is normally a little
quieter because I got to sing later on
at night so I really don't want to be
talking to BU all day long oh it could
be not a lot it could be usually it's
pretty boring it's it's all of us eating
and stuffing our faces and drinking late
nights like oh where'd you get that I
want to go eat that uh crew hangs out up
there mostly um there's occasional late
night video games uh baseball is a big
one on uh place what do they have up

much of a video game guy um so once that
kind of busts out I'm like I'm out see
