Donefor - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2127

If you take a turn at two miles per hour, this becomes an aerial weapon. You have to invest in maple syrup, people. Invest. Well, you get the idea. It's a tax write-off now. Hey, we usually don't let fans on the bus, but you can come on in. Hey, this is Parker from Dunford, and that's Riley. We're from southwest Florida, and we're going up the nation with Aurora Wave right now, and we got a sick ride we want to show you guys around. This is Mr. Driver here. So this is my cockpit. It has absolutely zero lumbar support, so I use this pillow. That was my in-ears. But it's pretty good. Telescopic wheel. I got all the buttons and switches I like to press. I keep going for a stock shifter, even though it's got buttons, so that's fun. But got a rear-view camera, Apple CarPlay, all the dashes in cardboard. They're carboards. In carbon fiber. Pretty swanky. I usually have a co-pilot with me doing the navigation on the CarPlay there, because usually I'm zoned in, because this thing is 7 feet wide, and in these small city streets, that is basically the entire road. So that gets dicey, especially in cities like D.C., which we were in a couple days ago. That was, hoo boy, Chicago, tight streets. But you know what? Getting better at it every day. Well, we got a TV that we barely know how to work, and we've got an Xbox basically falling out the top that also doesn't really work. I don't think we've ever used it, but it's there if we want to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's about it. Yeah, it's aesthetically pleasing, we'd like to think. Do we have anything up here? Do we have? No. Oh, we have a soundbar. Soundbar. Soundbar's sick. Yeah. Yeah. So in the middle of the night, when I want to play my white noise, which happens to be Van Halen, I can just go and blare that baby throughout the whole entire RV and through the parks that we're in. Yeah, this is also Jeff. Say hi to Jeff. It's our AC. This is the bread and butter of the whole operation right here. Without him, we wouldn't be able to do what we can do. And we have an excessive heat warning all across the United States right now. It's like the perfect time to go on a summer tour. We escaped Florida just to go to D.C. It's still really hot in this room, but it's, you know, we got him trucking along here. Oh, yeah. I came up with this part myself. So I tried to fit it through the driver's side window. Then I realized the exhaust for the generator is directly under it. So we were kind of sucking up nauseous fumes, and they're not used to it like I am because I was a mechanic. So I'm used to that. I'm a singer. I can't have that. Yeah, they need to preserve their voices. So I just kind of shoved it outside there and dropped the window on it. And it's pretty solid. It works while driving too, which is the cool part. When the generator decides to be working. So this is our lounge area. We do have two slides out. So it's 12 feet across right now. However, when we're driving, you can see there's kind of a line right here. It goes all the way into here, and then this comes to about right here. So it's like a narrow hallway. Whenever we're sitting here, our knees are touching, believe it or not, on this. But it's great space whenever we have the slides out and everything. We got a little office right there for Zach or our camera girl, Tori. Currently fixing the merch sheet right now. So very double-use space. This is probably the cleanest I have ever seen it. So, you know, we got our tequila that stays on there by our sponsor. He's pretty cool. So, you know, oh no, we have a tequila sponsor. Whoa. Tequila and rock and roll mix very well. So at night, because these close in, we pick this thing up and throw it in that closet, hallway area that divides us from the rhythm section to the actually important people. Just kidding, buddy. Just kidding. Don't hurt me. Guess the sleeping arrangements. Put in the comments, I guess. Anyways, back to this. We got the kitchen right here. We have an… Everything flies off here. In case you didn't know about RVs, if you take a turn at two miles per hour, this becomes an aerial weapon. So what we got here rocking for you is a nice little gas stove right there. We just kind of put a lighter there, and we cook hot dogs and family dinners as much as we can. Got a nice microwave that actually takes more voltage than anything else. In the RV somehow. Nice sink that we use to wash dishes every fortnight or so. These become aerials when we open it out. I'm sure it's going to fall out in 10 minutes when we start driving. Yeah, cleaning supplies, silverware. It's pretty much a home on wheels. Oh, you can't forget this. Oh, the side table that we definitely use. Yeah. The more space, the more space, the better because… Can you fix it? So I can't have nice things. Anyways, and then this is our food pantry right… Oh, frick, man! Okay. It'll buff out in post. Got soups. I like soup. I like honey. We got seasonings and stuff. We also have more food storage over here in case you get… There's a lot of storage on this… I can't do anything right, man. What the… He's knocking everything over. Yeah, guys, feel free to look at our haul. So we got a lot of foods that are non-allergenic for our guy over there. Zach over there is allergic to… I'm a lead guitarist and a screamo vocalist. I'm allergic to everything and I'm also really good at Excel spreadsheets. That's my job. Excel spreadsheets fear this man and pouring concrete. And pouring concrete. He's very good at pouring concrete. So anyways, we have a whole cabinet of things you can eat. And we have a whole thing of things you can eat, a lot of snacks. We're really big on microwaved beans. We are a bean team, right? So we have baked beans all the time. Forget the discount thing. You've just got to make it happen. Refried beans. We got a little sweet treat thingy for… You know what, Riley? You deserve one of these even though they've been here at like 100 degrees for the last week. Close your eyes. No, it's okay. Keep your eyes closed. What? You're going to feed it to me? Look at it. It's a natural color, dude. Mmm. Yummy. It looks like a wiener. Dude, so good. I like my sweet treats. I was not expecting him to do that. Anywho, back to the tour. We got a lot of chips, and we got a lot of snacks. In case you did not know, we are a band that loves corn except for that guy. He's also allergic to corn. I'm allergic to corn named Zach Luft. I'm addicted to corn. Corn. Gatorade. We figured that just getting a ton— You go through a ton of water on tour, by the way. Any venue that gives us it, we love it. But Gatorade's been our savior. And a lot of just microwavable meals. We've got pretzels, chips, granola, and yogurt. But the fun part about that, as I take you this way, is because our generator is not our best friend because the heat, as he said earlier, we rely on the refrigerator. Now, the refrigerator, if you notice, has a strap on it. Guess what's not working? The strap. There we go. It's like Liz Clues. We take a turn, and all the food comes out of the fridge at Mach 7 and just destroys everything. It's really fun. And if you can see over there, he's really good at Excel spreadsheets. Name's Zach, really good at Excel spreadsheets. We're reduced to liquids. We usually do a family dinner where it's meat and such, but right now, as you can tell, the only thing we have are non-perishables. Except some eggs, which Riley says is fine. Yeah, it's fine. Because we threw out all the meat, but eggs, I guess, are good without refrigeration. Eggs don't need to be refrigerated. Basically, this is just what we take from venues. Big Egg is trying to cover that up. Conspiracy. But our freezer's been good. I have accidentally frozen my macaroni salad. We usually have a ton of meat, but guess what happened? The generator went out. So we're relying on the venues to feed us, which they— There's some fun stuff— Ticketmaster's good, whatever they tell you, okay? Ticketmaster feeds us. So this, if you guys have ever been to Buc-ee's, this is like my favorite thing from Buc-ee's, the cons. Ask what you had to do to get it. Yeah, I had to do some dirty things to get it. Peanut butter and jelly. We have a little story about the jelly, I guess. We don't have to go into detail about it, but basically, someone put the jelly in the pantry, and then we had a chat GPT conversation to see if it was safe to eat. It was, but it's thrown away now. Got some maple syrup. You have to invest in maple syrup, people. Invest. Don't get that cheap ----, okay? Notice how we haven't used any of it. We're going to use it all tonight. So bathroom also has to be used as storage. There's a trash thing in right now. Whenever we are not all packed up in a venue, there's a bunch of guitar cases in here. So every time you have to use a bathroom, you have to take out a bunch of guitar cases. It's like stuff to the brim. If you have ever been on tour or seen one of these videos before, you know no solids in the RV, only pee. This is our shower, aka storage closet. We got all of our towels here. We have a crew of six on here, five band members and a crew member, Tori. Shout out, Tori. So we got, oh. That's more storage. Yeah, it's just like bedding and stuff and clothes, it looks like, but we have a funny story. There's a water pump on this thing, so we can use water, which I'm not going to turn on right now. But basically, we turned it on, and the shower was running without our knowledge. So a bunch of our bedding got soaked, pillows, everything. We had to lay them out to get dried out. So that was a fun night. Also, what's fun is the AC sometimes, when it gets really running at night, when we have the generator working. Guess what it also does? It spills all over us. And I wake up not in sweat, but in AC fluid. We have a little vanity here. Just some simple stuff. I'm trying to think of anything specific. Oh, I mean, we have melatonin. We all take a bunch of melatonin before bed so we can sleep. Yeah, and then we've got some storage down here. There's not really much room. That's pretty much it for the bathroom area. I mean, I could show you this thing, right? Yeah, that's pretty important. Yeah, so this is our voltage and stuff. We're using 9 amps right now. We try to stay under 50. At night, we're usually about 30, so it's kind of high because the AC's running. But you can actually see on here, we can test the tank levels. So it looks like holding tank one is full. I believe that is just water for the sinks and stuff like that. Holding tank two is P, fresh water. I guess that's also—I don't know. It's just lights. It's Christmas up in here. Above it, we have the AC where we turn it on, which we won't do because we— The generator will break. Look at me. Look at me, guys. We're in Chicago right now. Gross. And yeah, back—Okay, so this is the rhythm section, okay? They live in this— This is where the magic happens. Yes, yes. For the rhythm section. Bass players and drummers always sleep together. They are attached to the hip. We all know. So I can just speed— These are all my clothes, yeah. A lot of very expensive, really stylish clothes in there. It does not matter. Up in—Why are we wasting this space? Yeah, we— You got to utilize that. Oh, this is kind of cool. So we can't fit much stuff. This is storage. We put a bunch of stuff in here. So whenever—We got stuff in the venue right now, but whenever we go on the road— Christmas wrapping paper. We got wrapping paper. If anybody needs, you know, gifts or anything, we are ready for doing that, I guess. So when Leo gets his one-hour break a week, he goes back here and Doomscrolls and plays Xbox. He doesn't have many good games because he's weird. I notice him playing Forza a lot. Hey, Leo, what games do you have? I got Doom. I got FIFA. I got—I got—I got—I got—I got Star Wars, Republic— You sound like a middle schooler. I got—What was it? Republic Commandos. I got Battlefront II, the OG, the best one. Please, Dice, make the third. Nerd. Nerd, loser. As you can see, I love Star Wars and Doom. Ignore my other white titan top under this. We went— Yeah, we went— I'm fully flexed out right now. This is nice. We went to D.C. and I decided to wear a tank top. No sunscreen, so still hurts. I don't recommend it. So back here, we have the closet. We wanted to use this as, like, show clothes. I saw a bunch of Bus Invaders videos. I was like, this is a really good idea to put show clothes back here. That's what a lot of bands do. But it's all— It's everyone's. It's messed up because the bumps— So we have—there's, like, a shoe thing on the other side of it. I got you, man. Let's do this together. Did you break it? No, it's been like that because— No, it's been broken. Watch out for the guitar. The bumps just killed it, man. In case you didn't know, RVs are not made to be tour buses because— Not yet. Not yet, actually. We're setting a new standard. We have a shoe closet here. All their shoes just fall out. Okay, we're gonna quit. It's not worth it. But you get the idea. It's a tax write-off now, okay. All right, yeah, we also have the necessities. Let's see. I don't even know what's in here, to be fair with you. Alcohol. Alcohol. Hats. So we're actually not really— We're actually not really drinking until Ohio because, as the Skibbity Rizzlers say, Ohio is for lovers. Yeah, anyways, that seems to be our bus. Thanks for coming out to check out our RV and doing our tour bus invaders. We have a new album out. It's our sophomore titled album. Shit, dude. It's our sophomore album, self-titled. Named? Dunfor! Yeah, super easy to remember. Our website is DunforBand.com. And remember to head to our socials because Riley has a firm belief on social media here. At DunforBand on all socials. Instagram, TikTok. Check out our YouTube. And yeah, thank you so much. We really respond to every comment. We will be watching this video to make sure you commented below what you loved, hated about this RV. And what do you think about Leo's game selection? Because we think it's dog water.
