Waterparks - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2178

I just like sit on the couch, enjoy a message from Lucas. Everybody gets a hammer in their bunk in case of night terrors. You go three just like that right through the reds. That's crazy did you see that? Hey come on in. You know how to close those doors. A lot of people don't know how to do that. Like every time our parents come through we have to like help they get stuck right here. I'm so glad you could actually come back and see us like outside of a van. You know what I mean? In a van we were living in squalor. There was no air conditioning. It was like leaking in the ceiling and stuff. Then you came back when we had a bandwagon and now it's time for the bus. The natural evolution. And we stayed exactly the same. No better, no worse. We are two-thirds of the band Waterparks. 66.66666666666 percent of that band. We are out on the Prowler tour right now. We just put out Any Minute now so go listen to that. Heart Attack Man and Winona Fighter just joined the tour today. It's going to be a good one. So we just kind of keep messages up. Lucas makes us a new one every morning. This is Lucas. Say hi. These are vinyl. I like to you know draw on some of those. You know what I mean? Five or ten of those each show. Let's see, some of the drawers have been kind of stuck. Okay, so this one is where we keep snacks. This is like the hot dog snack drawer. It's kind of hard to eat right on the road but we learned that there are seven grams of protein in every hot dog. And so as long as we eat five to seven of those a day, we're actually getting like almost half the protein you're supposed to have. Would you like one? Okay, well you mean to heat it up or you just want it raw? Let's see what else we got. We were playing hammers earlier. This is Jeff. He's finishing signing posters. Oh yeah, someone gave us this a couple days ago. It looks like Macaulay Culkin dressed as me but I love it. MIDI keyboard here because you know additional production for the album on like you know off days and stuff when we have time. Let me see. Let me jump right in here real quick. I have, I drink a lot of throat coat. You know helps and also arnica tea because it's good for inflammation. Also these guys. I like you know suck on these. It's always good to have extra soy sauce because I don't know like I feel like restaurants don't bring it often. Some like calm things and some like liquid IV type stuff. Actually I was so prepared for this tour. I had like a giant duffel bag that I just filled with like everything I could need just in case because sometimes you learn that things are like regional or like you can't really order these very quickly usually. So I just wanted to roll up prepared. I got this stuff right here. It's like pretty good. I have this big cigar. I've never smoked but it just helps me think at night or like calm down just to be like you know what I mean? I just like sit on the couch. Enjoy a message like this. Okay on to snacks. Protein is important. We keep food in here. Again like seven grams of protein and the bread is good because like you don't want to like over eat before a show but you do want some carbs in your system. Otherwise you get like super lightheaded. Like there have been times I've almost passed out at shows. Like the worst was probably once in Iowa. What city was it? Iowa City. Iowa City classic where I was like actually seeing stars and stuff because I forgot to have my proteins and my carbs and same with there was like an attic in Australia. I believe it was Adelaide. I could be wrong about that. Don't quote me. But our photographer has lost like three teeth on this tour. But anyway all that to say that's why these are important. We get a lot of these on the rider. Just because you know there's a lot to do during the day. We have to like sign a bunch of stuff. We got meet and greets. There's like sound check whatever other like interview things or press or like radio things. Like we just it's good to have these on the go. Clearly somebody was busy earlier. Oh my god this one got overcooked. You ever overcook a hot dog? This is this mic is good right? Can you hear that? Added in post. So weights is usually what we've been using for training before we use these. So we do a lot of work and obviously hammers are like the best tool for work. We've also made up some games with it. I'm really sad. This tour we have way less hammers than the other tours. Because I won last time I get the blue. Okay so check this out. Can you see it okay? Wait wait was it like this last time? Is that how we left it? Okay go. Um let's check out the rest. I think we have more snacks. Some of these are legit like locked. Daryl has like hella snacks. He won't let us touch them. Um okay so obviously a few more hot dogs. The doctor has said five to seven. Um do you go to a doctor? We got health insurance now. Mind if I make a dog? This one got crunchy. Somebody was adjusting something. I don't know anyway. Welcome to bunk alley. How many of these do you think you've been? A thousand? That's crazy. I'm gonna take a picture of you. So some of these we sublet and we're not supposed to open. We got more hammers. Again it's a lot of projects going on. A lot of games. Like I said you love to play hammers. I'm ******* awesome at it. I'll put the rules out at some point. But this is just if you're bored or scared or working on something like a project or you want to play hammers. Just come to the hammer bunk. Yeah get a nice spread. Everybody gets a hammer in their bunk. Um in case of night terrors you have. Have you ever had a night terror? Okay how much does it suck when you wake up early sleep paralysis even and this is happening and you feel like you can't do anything about it. Now you can. Hammer. So everybody has a right to a hammer. Lucas has a hammer. Jeff has a hammer. I have a hammer. I also have this massage gun that I actually for real gave myself a black eye with. So I like to hold it against the side of my head and let it like vibrate until like everything goes dark and then I thank God for another chance at escape until I wake up the next day. But straight up it was on my forehead and it felt kind of good. I'm this is I swear on my ******* life. And it hit my eye and I low-key got a black eye and a stye. This is before the tour though. Okay next part of this and my favorite part of this whole bus is that it came with a magician. Hey welcome to the magic show come on in. Come on in. Welcome. This everybody? Yeah. All right cool. So I heard we were going to be on the bus. I decided to bring my guitars with me. You know for me musicians life is just a series of guitars. Wouldn't you say so? Absolutely. You buy your first row six string over the five and dime. I'll do this one right here. Oh. Let's see here. After that you get the one that you save up for you know. Right. Which you pay for with every single gig that you're doing. You know you'll spend uh you'll drive 100 miles. Oh yeah. Take a thousand dollars of equipment and make 50 bucks right. That's about it. You do that for years. Then you get the uh then you get the nice one. You know the one that you buy just before you get married. Because you know your bride's not going to let you buy another one. Once in a gray. Exactly. They do that. That'll be your third one. Jeez. And then. Like Mary Poppins. Right well you know you've got to be right. But the last one when you all that stuff's over. You still just want something that you can jam with your friends with. Right right right right right right. Damn. Have all four of those. Okay. All right. So you guys ready for some magic? Yes. All right I'm going to show you. We can't do a magic show without having a card trick. It's in the it's in my union rules. So here we'll use a little table here. Put it right between us. Have you guys ever heard of the smart dart? No. Inside this case we got a state-of-the-art smart dart. Does anybody here know how to shuffle cards? You can shuffle cards. Good. The table's right here in front of you. We'll pop out and deck it. You can stand or sit as long as you're not blocking this guy. Sure sure. Am I good? There you go. Shuffle them up. Good. Yeah give them a cut if you want. That's cool. Oh no. I messed up on camera. Not at all. Change that in post. Good. All right I'm just going to give a little shuffle of my own. Just like this. And then I'm going to show you these smart darts. Isn't that impressive? Yes. Wait till you see what this thing can do. If I place a card on the table, the smart dart will pick it up and return it back to my deck. But if I put two cards on the table, it picks up both cards just like that. If I put down a pile of three cards, it pulls through the top two, picks up all three at once. It can even count. Give me a number between one and ten. Seven. So I set the deck on the table. I say seven cards please. It gives me exactly seven cards. Count them for me. Deck seven. Hey! Choose one of the seven for yourself. Don't let me see which one you've chosen. I see. Put it on the bottom of your pile. To the camera? Okay. There you go. We're going to bury in the deck just like this. And then I'm going to turn my back if I have room. And you're going to do what I did. You're just going to cut the cards and then complete the cut. So I have no idea how far the card is in the deck. Let me know when you're done. I'll close this up here. All set? Ready. Good. Now I don't know what your card is or where it is in the deck, right? But if you whisper the name of the card to the dart, it will tell me its exact position in the deck. All right. I have not touched the cards. You agree with that, yes? Correct. But according to the dart, your card is on the bottom of the deck. Now I haven't touched them. But tell me if this is in fact your card. Oh! Is it? Okay. I'm going to turn my back again. You're going to cut the cards again. All right. Complete the cut just like you did before. Got it. All set? Yes. All right. Now this time the dart is going to find your card. It's not on the bottom, yes? It's not on the top, right? No. It's somewhere in the middle. The smart dart is going to actually dive right into the deck. It's going to lift up the cards just like this. It's going to give me a nice even break like it did right here. And it's going to tell me what your card is. Do you believe me? Yes, I do. Good. What's your name? My name is Jeff. Hello, Jeff. Nice to meet you. Here we go. A nice even cut just like that. It cut to the... Let's see here. It cut off this card right here. What was your card, Jeff? It was the King of Hearts. The King of Hearts. This card right here. Oh! Actually, the dart can actually read your mind. Yeah. Here. Can you remember this card? Yes. Take the cards, all the cards, and shuffle them for me. All right. This time, the dart is actually going to extrapolate the information straight out of your brain. Okay. So you're going to shuffle up the cards. You're going to take the dart and stick it right on your forehead. Okay. Very good. It's got it. If it's stuck, it should go like this. It should go like this. It cut to this card right here. What was your card? It was the 8... Oh, ****. 8, oh, ****. No. Of course. It wasn't. I think it was the 8 of hearts. 8 of hearts. Yes, that's the one. Yes! Oh, my God. I actually blanked for a second. That's my bad. That's okay. That's all right. That was so good. 8 of hearts is sometimes known as the 8, oh, ****. So that's not a problem. They do say that. They do. They really read your mind. Let's see here. We're going to take out a piece of string. Now, for this, I'm going to use my ring. You know what kind of ring that is? Very cool ring. Green lantern. Green lantern ring. That's right. Yes, I have a green lantern ring. I have Batman cufflinks. And I used to have a watch with a flash on it, but it ran fast. He just got that. Feel free to laugh at the jokes at your own pace. Here, I'm going to take the string. I'm going to put it through the ring just like this. I want you to watch it very closely. This one does happen kind of quickly. Can you all see that, Ari? Yes. I have the green string, the green lantern ring. We go one. We go two. We go three. Just like that, right through the ring. That's crazy. Did you see that? Here, we're going to do it once more for you. Just so that you can watch the ring very closely. You're getting very sleepy. No, I'm just kidding. That's a joke. Pull on the ring. Make sure it really is on there. It is on there. We get these ends even like this. And we go like this. One, two, three. Magic breath. Magic. Are you looking for this? Oh, what? Why don't you hold on to this end so that I can't cheat? Hold on tight. Is the ring going through the string? No. Actually, the string is going through the ring. It was a trick question, but it is on there. Now, you're holding on tight to that end. You're going to hold on to this end over here for me. When I count to three, I want both of you to pull. Are you ready? Yeah. Are you ready? Here we go. One, two, three. Oh, back on my finger. That's where it is. Oh. You've got to watch closely, guys. I'll tell you what. We're going to do one more. Let's see here. I'll put these off to the side. I'm going to show you something fun. You ever see one of these things? Yes, yes. Anybody know how to solve one? You don't know how to hit? How long does it usually take to solve one? A while. Well, how much while do we have, sir? As long as we want. He doesn't care at all. All right. So here's what I'm going to do. How about if I solve, instead of one of them, both of them? Yes. All right. And how long should it take me? I would say at least like 15 minutes. But we don't have that kind of time. No, he didn't bring enough tape. Cameraman says we don't have 15 minutes. How about, I don't know, 30 seconds? Let's see it. All right. You want me to solve one or both of them in 30 seconds? Both. And then one at the time or at the same time? Same time. And right here where I'm watching what I'm doing, I'll place them on top of my hat and solve them up there. I think up there is cool. Up there. All right. So let's see. We said 30 seconds. You guys are going to have to start counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15. Shut the f- Yo! Hey, that worked. Well, I hope you guys had fun with the magic show back in the back. Oh my god. Welcome to the back of the bus. This is where all the fun happens. This is where the magic happens. One more time at home. Give it up. I mean, it's always just smart to have a knife. And oh, she's on the bay. Oh, yeah. This is where we keep all our stuff. It's kind of a trash room, but one man's trash. Lucas, can you do it? Instantly into stone. It seemed that Perseus had been led by his angry pride into making an empty boast. No man unaided could kill Medusa, but Perseus was saved from his folly. Two great gods were watching over him. He took ship as soon as he left the king's hall, not daring to see his mother first and tell her what he intended. And he sailed to Greece to learn where the three monsters were found. He went to Delphi, Delphi, Delphi. But all the priestess would say was to bid him seek the land where men eat, not in the land of oak trees. That's pretty much what we got for you. Thank you so much for coming through. I'm sorry. Thank you so much for coming through here. As you can see, we've stayed humble and cool and regular. And oh, are you going to stick around for the show? Oh, yeah. Peace and love to you and yours. Water barks out. Get protein with it. Find a hammer. Call someone you love. Tell them that you love them. You never know. Today could be your last.
