Heffron Drive - BUS INVADERS (Revisited) Ep. 291 [2013]

Hey guys, not good for the pipes. Clog up your bus. That's what she said. I always have a box of cheese that's in my bum. God, I hope they pay you for this. Bus presented in HD. I don't know. Alright guys, so this is it. It's about it, really. I'm just kidding. There's a whole bunch of other buses to see. Automatic doors, pretty cool I think. Alright, everybody say hello to Dustin. Relax and eat some cookies. Hello world. How are the cookies? They're actually really good. So the story behind these cookies is Bill, aka Spacebar, aka Spacebat, he's got a lot of different names. He's a very interesting guy. His parents live in the area and he'd been talking about cookies for a while. So as a gift to me, he got me, he asked me what kind of cookies I liked. I got sugar cookies. So I got a whole tin full of sugar cookies. Homemade. All of these are homemade. There's like seven different kinds. I can't believe she's advertised. Yeah, there's like this fudge one that's pretty good too. It's pretty incredible. And of course, being that it's close to the holiday season, gotta have a Christmas treat. Gotta have a Christmas treat. But that's fine, you know. That's what happens when you buy one of these tipping trees. They're notorious for tipping. That's a good treat. Yeah, but actually, funny story, that's from a fan, isn't it? It is, actually. No, this is from a fan. This right here is from a fan. Oh. But so is the tree. Yeah, the tree was from a fan. She also gave us these, those like Christmas poppers. Which we used for multiple things. Right. This is from Lacey Drogmeier. And she's at little underscore KS underscore Russia. And she gave me this note for me. But the tree is from a fan who thought it was necessary that we have a tree on the bus, which, honestly, I agree, because I usually have one at home. But since I'm not there right now, I don't have the time. What else we got? This is interesting right here. Just a leather, oh. That's weird. I don't know what that's doing on the bus. Anyway, but that. So here's what else we got. Dustin's got his computer set up. Working on some tunage. Working on some tunes using my headphones, you know, my headphones using the beats, right. Gotta use the beats. Everybody walks around with those. Not sponsored, unfortunately. But everybody has them anyway. This is cool. Another gift from a fan. So I have a sugar skull tattoo on my right arm that is pretty much, let me see that. Get it out of that, take the whole thing off. Take it off. So that is a, this is a handmade representation of my skull tattoo, which I thought was pretty cool. Had to keep it. You get all kinds of gifts. I've got a, I watch a lot of comedies, and I tweeted something about one of my favorite shows being Impractical Jokers, so a fan got me the first season on DVD. You know, I really need a new dresser at home. Maybe I can tweet, I need a new dresser, and then the next thing you know, Amazon Prime. I could use a new car, too. Preferably a Ferrari. I don't think they're going to get you a car. Well, here's to wishing. Moving on, something else to allocate, well, the candles. Long story short, there's ten guys on this bus, so at times, it gets pretty musty. Is that a good word? Outright stinky. Outright stinky. Stinky as hell. Sass. Sa. Stinky as hell. S-A-H. It's an abbreviation. So I got these candles, and I'm a big stickler about candles, actually. Can't speak for those, but these two right here, I specifically like to get soy wax, just because when it's finished, you can just rinse it out, and then you have this thing. Hey, cool cup. I mean, when the candle's done with, that's a sipping goblet, if I've ever seen one. So, I don't know, that's just my thinking. And what else we got? So we got that candle, that's important. We got this one, just got these today, here in Chicago. They make the bus smell really nice. But let's see what we got around here. Well, we like to try and eat as healthy as we can. So let me just show you the difference. This is my section up here, okay? Sugar-free, expect, I don't even know what that is. That's like Mucinex, but all natural, right? This isn't supposed to be here. I don't know what that's doing. This is in this section. So up here I got throat comfort, honey lemon, Yogi. Got some whole cot tuna. Because you don't want to get that netted stuff that causes a lot of problems, right kids? Right. And got some chicken tortilla soup 365. Everyone loves whole foods. My favorite though is Pacific Foods. Pacific Foods, all natural chicken noodle soup. It's delicious. Now, down here in my section though. Let's check it out. I've got what I like to call comfort foods. Because sometimes I don't like all this organic stuff. So I have here some Campbell's home-style, Mexican-style chicken tortilla soup. It is microwavable and it is tasty. To note though, no preservatives added. See, I'm stepping it up a little bit. I'm not going to show you what this is because that's kind of disgusting. But I also have some Campbell's chunky baked potato with cheddar and bacon bits made with fresh potato soup. $2.39 at Walmart. Steal, steal. But the most important thing, of course, is... A healthy supply of Cheez-Its. Of all kinds. We have a mother load of Cheez-Its on this bus. And this just so happens to be Scrabble, the junior version. Not sure what the difference is, but they taste great. Something else to note in this cabinet is a healthy abundance of cups. Now, remember what I said about the Campbell's earlier. This, believe it or not, was a Campbell. Now it's a sipping cup. And recently I got some mugs to drink coffee out of because you have to distinguish your mug. You don't want anyone using your mug. So I got this mug. Something cool, earthy about it. I got another one. I've been eating soup out of this one. This is my soup mug. You couldn't tell we like soup around here. Well, because it's easy. The microwave, you know, all that stuff. And everyone's got a cup up here, which is good because, honestly, there's a lot of coffee drink in this place. What else have we got around here? Well, this has become a staple on this tour. And we have our George Foreman grill that our front-of-house guy Chris brought out for us. And so far I've made a ton of bacon. And we grilled some chicken. Made some chicken breast. Made a chicken sandwich. Something to note about this is that there's no drip pan, as you can see. So we just take a plate and put it under there, and it drips. I actually heard recently that, what was it, Adventure Club. Josh was saying that Adventure Club doesn't use a drip pan. They just drip it into the sink, which, hey, guys, not good for the pipes. Clog up your bus. That's what she said. Anyway, so note to self. Use a drip pan, especially when making bacon. And that's the great thing about a George Foreman. Fresh bacon on the bus, which everybody knows makes everybody happy. You can never go wrong with bacon. We got a toaster. Toaster, hot water heater. Some tea kettle. This is for Vic. Vic is our security guy. Of course, he has the muscle milk because, you know, he's the muscle. Now, oh, something about this bus. This bus drove me nuts for, like, what, a week and a half, two weeks. So when you're on a bus, imagine you have the... Let's just do this real quick, okay? So this is my water. So good, tasty. Mm, chug, chug, chug. Ooh, how was that? Good, I'm going to throw this away now. Okay, throw it away. Being responsible and recycling. Oh, wait, that's not the trash can. Really frustrating because on every single bus I've ever been on, this is always a trash can. So for a week straight, I would get up and do that same thing and just go... Here's where the trash can is. Really? I got it now. Well, first, of course, like any introduction to somebody's home. Oh, this is like, yeah, this is like the Cribs version. Yeah. They always show you what's in the fridge. Or if you can't, you know, a similar show like that. Here's what's in the fridge. Hot sauce, of course. More hot sauce. Hot sauce. Some balsamic. Just like to make my plug for Taco Bell. Something interesting, and it didn't really happen, I'm kind of disappointed. These are Cascade Pellet Hops. So everybody on this bus is of drinking age. We're all adults. And occasionally we like to have a brew, as any adult should. So one of our crew happens to be a brewmaster and was going to make homemade beer on the bus, which I think was just exciting in general, because there's been a lot of homemade stuff going on, like turkey for Thanksgiving. Oh, Kendall made a turkey. Cooked on the bus in a turkey oven, right there on the counter. And then what else? We made a roast. Made a roast. So basically we're saying we're homemade kind of guys, you know. So Chris was going to make some beer, but it was really cold and didn't really ever work out. What else have we got? Jam. Oikos. Some three-day-old mac and cheese. Yep, which we'll probably chuck that soon. Not looking too dandy. Got some important blueberries. Oh, some hummus with the lid off. So I'm going to go ahead and just... Hey, you found a trash can. Yeah, I got it. Some soggy lettuce, always good. And that's pretty much it for over here. Let's head on back. Yeah, come on. So it's really clean in here. As I'm sure you probably know, every bus has what they call a junk bunk. And this just so happens to be our junk bunk. It's nothing in it. Yeah, no, there's nothing in it. We tried to make it look presentable, but let's face it. Let's just show you this. All right, so we got, well, we got some Nerf gun boxes, which I'm not quite sure why we're still keeping them. I don't know where that one went. I just bought that and I don't know where it is. Oh, look at this. Still got another one. There's three in here. Oh, I've been causing havoc with this. Oh, yeah. You got a dart anywhere? This is a frequent thing in the junk bunk is a lot of throwing people's stuff around. Oh, here we go. Got it. So I picked this up because it looks really entertaining and more entertaining than a Nerf gun because it does everything by itself. And I was like, you know, getting pretty good at this. Let's see. Actually, I'll show you real quick. So let's see if we can get a bullseye here. Here we go. Ready? Bullseye. So I've been causing a lot of problems with that on the bus. I've been shooting everybody, and I really don't think they like it. Sorry. Let's head on back to the junk bunk. Leave the bag. So, yeah, anyway, that's the junk bunk. My bunk looks like a junk bunk because I was just trying to make it look clean for you guys. Eventually just sprawl everything out. Come on back. This is my bunk here. This is where the magic happens. By magic, I mean this is where I sleep. Let's just show this. Oh, yeah. This is what Dustin wears when he gets up in the morning. I found this amazing onesie, and it's Michelangelo from the Ninja Turtles. I think it's pretty awesome, if I say so myself. I would say embarrassing. I went to breakfast wearing that today. I didn't. He sat next to me. He's lying. So, anyway, yeah. Oh, wait. What else you got in here? Oh, my gosh. That's so weird. What is this? It's so crazy. What is this? Why do you sleep with a Heffron Drive pillow? You know, I just can't get enough of myself, and the best thing to do is just sleep with myself. And, you know, honestly, pretty cool. It actually is really, really cool because inside the bunks, there's an air-conditioning little bed that comes down that keeps my pillow cool, which is always important, as you should know. Oh, can't forget this. I always have a box of Cheez-Its in my bunk. God, I hope they pay you one day. Okay, now you see the bunks. Let's go check out the back. It's a pretty cool lounge back here. Hey, guys. It's a space bar. Aren't you supposed to be doing load-in right now, or...? What time is it? It's in the afternoon. Somebody else should probably take care of it. No, no, get to work. Here we go. Come on. This is what we deal with on a daily basis. So this is the back lounge where people lounge and should be working. And look at that back here. Let's check it out. Could you hand me some of those Cheez-Its? Oh, yeah. We have a motherload of Cheez-Its on the bus. This one says, for Kendall and Dustin, from Cali Mace. And space bar. Space bar. It doesn't say space bar anywhere on it, but you can have them. Thanks, guys. Come on, get out. Go, go, go. Get to work. Get to work. White cheddar, just in case. We've got a closet full of stuff. Yeah. Let's see, we've got a... Spare blankets. We've got... Oh, Dustin was giving this... A fan gave you this, right? That's true, they did. Taco Bell crunchy taco dinner kit. I can't make it on the bus. We haven't figured out a way yet, but... What do you have to...? Well, you have to grill up hamburger. Oh, yeah. Oh, well... But as soon as I get home, I will. And then the cool thing about this particular couch... Some buses have, like, a bed in the back, like a star lounge or whatever. Everyone's in bunks on this one, but the cool thing about this is that... Dustin, it's already out. You want to demonstrate? Let me demonstrate to you the power of the King 2000 bed. How are you feeling over there? Are you comfortable? Worth every penny. Done. We've also got... This is important. Kendall's air filter. I brought this from home. I put this in my suitcase, actually, because I needed to have it. I'm not sure how much it actually helps, but it makes me feel better. We've been documenting the tour, so I've got this case that has a bunch of GoPros in it. We've been filming things. GoPro Hero 3. And all over the bus, there are apparatuses to attach those cameras with. Yes. Now, we don't watch tons of TV. If we did, I would say movies and stuff like that. Oh! I don't know if anyone would notice the... Those aren't ours. They came with the bus. No! No sex whips and fur handcuffs for us. You know what? Some fan out there is going, I gave that to them, so it's not our fault. Oh, I know something we've got in here. Found this. This is pretty cool. I actually brought with me a portable Super Nintendo with all the games. So... Got the connector cable. You can hook it up to the TV. Got the chest mount for the GoPro. We've got tons of GoPro stuff. Star Wars collection. Star Wars. Trash can. And an extra cooler. But nothing really in there. Let's see what else. Oh, there was a problem in the beginning because there's a few bigger guys on the bus. Right? And everybody wanted to have the middle or bottom bunk, not the top, which I personally don't mind. My bunk's not that high, but still, I have to jump up to get into it. So, everybody picked these, and then Vic, our security guy, came on the bus, and he's the larger guy, and was like, Where's my bunk? And they were like, Well, right here. And he was like, No, it's not. And he's like, Who's here? Or, wait, he sleeps here? Yeah, Vic's down here. And he was like, Who's here? And our keyboardist was like, I'm here. And he goes, Is this your first tour? He goes, Yeah. He goes, We're sleeping up top. So you got the boot real quick. That was squashed really quickly. No debate. This is my doing. You'd be amazed what gaff tape can do. Like I said, because things get so stinky, I prefer to have things smell good. So I get one of these reed diffusers, and just gaff tape the hell out of it to the wall. And the good thing about gaff tape is, normally, it shouldn't leave much of a tape residue. Oh, also something to note about my bunk, is the, I have a portable air purifier right here, that is also gaffed, to all get out. I really hope it doesn't ruin the finish. Well, it pretty much wraps up everything. Oh, and we can't forget the loo. This bus luckily has a shower, which I took one earlier today. It's really nice. And, I install, as every time I go on tour, my filter for the water, because you never know where that water's coming from. I want to make sure. I can tell you where it's coming from. A truck stop in Illinois somewhere. Which is exactly why you want to filter it. There's a grinder on the bus, so let's just say you can go. If you've got the flow, you can go. You can go. And that's what we're lucky to have on this bus, because not all buses have that. A lot of times there's a no solids rule, if you know what I'm saying. Well guys, I think it's been really fun. We've pretty much showed you everything that's on the bus. I think so. Uh, basically what you've learned is that there's a lot of cheez-its, candles, and dudes. And junk. Dudes and their junk. You know what? Feels lived in. Feels like home. So I hope you guys had a good time. But unfortunately, we need to enjoy our space now. So if you don't mind, yeah, go ahead and open up that door and just skedaddle! See ya! Woo! Alright!
