Howdy, howdy, howdy. Come on in. Hey, I'm Morgan from Seven Dose. Hey, I'm LJ and welcome to our home.
This is where we live and where we pretty much spend most of our existence is on a place like
this. This is the front lounge. It's popped out. Normally, when you ride, you come this way and see
if it would pop into about right here. So the couch would be right here. See, we don't have that much
room, so it's good to have an extended thing, would you say? Yes, very much so. Not too much going on up
here, you know. Everybody is doing interviews and stuff today. I do drink Passport Revenge.
In the drawers here, this is some fish oil, a little magnesium. This is good for the
soreness without the chemicals and all that stuff. I've got some ball spray right here. Who uses that?
This is, you know, I think that this is Bobo's. See, why do you even need that?
The shower should be plenty. I was thinking, that's nasty, right? To me, that is. This is kind of the
beverage of choice in the bus. A few of the guys love the Diet Coke. Go through a lot of that.
Cracker or brews. Yeah, we like craft brews a lot. Just being this guy, we get into the craft brews.
Or beer connoisseurs. Actually, when I get home on this break, I'll be brewing my own beer.
I think I'm gonna call it Broken Welcome. I like that. Do some more Diet Coke.
Gatorade is always good for with your vodka drink, you know, hydrate yourself a little bit while
you're getting all bent. This is our freezer. It definitely does it that way. Let's close that.
Now, we just left a town, in Massachusetts, Northampton.
And everyone took very, you know, is that New Hampshire? Or is that Northampton Beach?
Hampton Beach. And they brought us out spaghetti, meatballs, and we had a big feast. We had lobsters.
So there's some leftover stuff in there. Nothing too exciting. Check this out. This is convenient.
And I think something that once you get to, when you get to Appleboss, God knows we worked real
hard. Because we started in a van, and we were in a van for years, and went through like 62 RVs.
So I'm okay with this. It's awesome to have a shower on the tour bus,
especially when you're on a tour where there's no showers to be taken and to be had,
and you get off the road. And, you know, you might play outside a lot of these tours,
and you're sweaty. It's cool to be able to come to the bus and take a shower and relax, you know.
What'd you say? I concur. So, you got some dudes in the van that like to
tear up on the protein there. Me, usually this is probably just good enough.
And look, I was so excited because no one else has tried the new McDonald's wings
for a limited time only. These things are great, like the McRib. So I guess this has
something in it that's like the McRib. I don't know if it's like some type of crack or something,
but I've only had them several times, but they are good. Shout out to McDonald's.
Been around for a long time. It's going to be here just like the dinosaur bones.
This is like cereal, cereal area. Oh, wait a minute now. We got a little bit more of this stuff.
Cups and, you know, it's kind of boring around here. Coffee, cereal. I usually don't eat until
two or three and a half. Microwave, get down, cook it like that, you know.
This stuff here is nothing major. I think there's probably chips and, you know,
stuff there that's not interesting. You know, I would rather back in the old days,
the buses used to have the running lights, and this is a little boring for me. So,
but it gets the job done. This is usually where it is and all this stuff. Look, that's you.
All this stuff. Three o'clock, LJ and Morgan. That's right now, bus invaders. My girlfriend
was here last night and she thought it'd be real cute to put a little line on the threes,
you know, and make it boob, LJ and Morgan, you know. So, does that mean boob? Just
adolescent behavior. So, does that mean boob? Like boob, boob. Yeah, that's on his ear.
That's weird. Yeah, it's just, you know, just absolutely unacceptable behavior.
So, yeah, that kind of gives you like an idea, but really in this world at some times on this
tour that we've been on, none of this really matters because it all changes. Yeah, come away.
This right here says 905 and 945. Chances of that happening are zero. This is where we sleep,
or what you call trying to sleep, in the bunk. This is my area. It just so happens that it's
not the absolute worst today. Usually. Got my pajamas ready to go. Got a little, you know,
you've seen all the TVs with DVD players. I broke that the other night because I got this.
Got pictures of your loved ones in here. I got my girlfriend here. I got my kids here.
Keep a little folder with my kids and everything in there.
Sometimes, if you even knock on a curtain, you knock on a curtain like this and you open it up.
Yo, it's Clint Lowry now. See, that's what I talked about earlier, being considerate. You see,
there's Vinny, y'all. Say hello. That's the boss man. Clint Lowry down there.
This is nap time. Now, I'll show you my bunk. I just have something special before we go to this.
This is a new term that I've heard only one time and it was screamed very loud by
a gentleman and he said, open the back galley. You remember that? Who was that? A police officer.
Oh, yeah. Before we go to the back galley, we got to put on my new birthday present. This is,
since I turned 41, I feel a little older and this hat makes me feel all grown up.
Is it cool? Welcome to the back galley. This is my little man with a hat that's cool.
Back galley filled with tons and tons of cases. It's not that bad. Actually, it's not too bad.
I had somebody deliver some of this to me the other day. Oh, she said I was supposed to have
some of that. I said I hadn't seen it. Now, of course, I won't get any of it. A little peach
rum, a little blueberry rum, a little strawberry rum. I did confiscate the peanut butter cookies
that everybody's looking for. You know what? It doesn't really matter because the tour is almost
over. I'll buy some of that when I get home. He's so mad at me right now. I'm going to really drink
the rum. We're going to drink that rum. Let's try something. Usually, this back is filled with tons
and tons of cases. Today, it's not too bad. You know what? This area back here, a lot of times,
I'll have a lava lamp out. The incense will be burning. Some music will be playing. It's really
cool. This is hilarious. We call him the heat. The heat's been out on tour with us since the
beginning of this year. This is all roadworthy. This has never been used before. Look how beat
up it is just from sitting in the back. It's never been played with. This is our road dog.
I bring things out like this. I say it's good luck once you have something out. It's fun.
I don't know. This car is destroyed. This is it, man. Sometimes, when you get back here,
you're able to pop the couch out a little bit if you want to relax a little more.
Collects treats and trinkets on the road. I'm a manteeker. You'll find things like these.
That was given to me from a lady in New Orleans. What's this? That's Gandalf. This is
his shirt. Only cigarette use only. That was a gift to me too. He called him Gandalf. He's awesome.
That's it. That's all I have. What's up here? Towels for the shower. That's baby Gandalf.
I didn't think you were going to find that. That was classic. Not one of those things.
That was good. A lot of TV gets watched back here. A lot of ridiculousness. We love Rob and his show.
We just try to pass the time. People bring out their laptops, hang out, go to the gym. We just
try to keep sane out here on the road because you are in a small space. We try to keep it clean and
smelling good. It's bringing things from home as much as we can and having our families out
here every now and then makes it a lot easier too. Yep. He said it. That's it. I'm still trying to
get over the baby Gandalf. Thanks a lot for coming in. I'll say your name again. I'm Morgan.
And I'm LJ from Seven Dust. Thank you for coming and invading our bus and our home territory. We
enjoyed having you. Bus Invaders, it's been a pleasure for you guys being here and we hope to
see you guys again and we hope that we gave you guys a little bit of how we live out here on the
road and what we do and how we like to be. So next time we'll see you guys. Peace.
