Sicksense - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2156

As we're walking through the gift shop, Quackers here was just staring at us. The fridge smells weird, even though, even if you don't have food in it, it smells weird. We've been playing a lot of Bill Murray cranking hogs up here in the front. That's something I like to do personally. Come on in. What's up, everyone? We're Sixth Sense. We're currently on tour with Calvin Louise. We are in Chicago and it is our last show of the tour. This is our RV, our touring vehicle. We had an incident late last night where we overloaded the main power in the RV. So the RV right now has no main power. We have the generator running, which for the purpose of this video is a little useless because the generator powers on the microwave. And well, not even the AC, because that's the main battery power right there. But long story short, I can't turn on the lights. I can't show you guys some of the cool features that this has. We can't slide this whole panel out so you can see what it's like when we're parked, unfortunately. But this is how the vehicle is when we're driving and has no power. This is the cockpit area. This is our driver, Robbie, co-vocalist in Sixth Sense. He doesn't let anyone else drive. Except Rich, our bassist, also drives. Sometimes. Doesn't let him drive. He wants to drive, wants to do it all himself. This is our Bucky's dashboard plushie. Emotional support plushie. Emotional support Bucky. We the last tour we did, we did six shows in Texas. This one we did two shows in Texas. So we had a lot of Bucky's. Oh, while I'm driving, I like to focus sometimes. So sometimes I won't have any music at all. If not, we've been playing a lot of Bill Murray cranking hogs up here in the front. That's something I like to do personally to start off every trip. I also like to try to drive at nighttime so that I avoid traffic as much as possible. I'm a big believer in the nighttime drives. And then when we wake up in the mornings, our bassist Rich, he'll take the wheel and he'll drive in the mornings. He likes doing the morning drives. These are the jump cables we bought yesterday to try and fix our problem. But the problem wasn't the battery, so we bought them for nothing. This is what is this? USB chargers, someone's water bottle. Assume that's yours. Yeah, just the regular stuff. We have the gas receipts in here and some batteries and lock for the trailer or the chain. This was me intervening. Bought a little shoe box because the previous tour, we just had shoes stacked up everywhere here. So I bought a little shoe box and I forced people to put their shoes there. And here we have engine oil. Because we do our own oil changes. I do all the oil changes. We have a fourth one to do before we head home back to Arizona from here. Because Arizona is like what? Two thousand something miles from here. So three days away. So tomorrow we'll be doing an oil change. Well, he'll be doing an oil change and we'll be watching him and asking if we if he needs help and he'll be like, no, I got it. Yeah. So this bunk up here with the lovely curtain is a sleeping area for two. Let's see. Or just one. How's it going, guys? Sam drummer for six cents. So, yeah, up here we got one of the extra sleeping spots. You can fit two people up here at night. It's you know, we got the pillows, we got some extra blankets and everything. If anyone needs it, we'll have two people up here during the day when we're moving. This is actually a storage area. So people will get their overnight bags, their extra bags, their chargers, whatever. We'll keep those up here and we got a little safety screen that we can buckle up so that nothing falls out. Buckle up, Sam. Buckle up. Keep it safe. And yeah, this is actually one of the more sought after bunks in the bed. It's a little one of the wider ones. It's pretty comfy. So, you know, I like to hug it all to myself. So, oh, yeah, a ladder. I can get out if I'm allowed to. But, you know, it depends on the day. Depends on how well I played. Every day is different. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then, you know, had our issues not quite happened so early, we have one TV up here that can swing out, which I do believe was one of the culprits of our issues last night. I think a little a little extra Mario Kart and Mario Party was a little too much for the battery. So it ended mid game. And well, the power went off mid game and I was winning. So we were tied. I was winning. I had more points. Not to say that I would have won. But at that moment in time, I was winning. The game is saved. God bless Nintendo Switch. It's halfway through. We don't actually know exactly. We got to figure something out for the ride home. So this living area, you have the booth here with the two couches and you have the futon couch or jackknife sofa is what it's called. So this flips open and becomes a bed. I believe there's storage underneath. Yeah, some people see throw their pants and socks and stuff like that under here, you know, stuff they don't want to deal with. This table is a culprit. This table had on the previous tour, it had this like vinyl, whatever this is, sheet wrapped around it. And it got so hot when we were in Texas or something and it just started ripping. And so we tore it off and we painted it poorly. But that's because it's not real wood. It's just like particle board. But since we did that, we also well, I also ordered these like cup holders and drilled two more in here and initially only had two. And they were small ones. It only fit like a water bottle, nothing else. So I'm like, well, we're doing this. So we drilled for bigger holes and put in the cups. So the table is like the main area that people work from or just hang out from. You know, someone sits here and here and opens up a laptop, have two laptops open. Our photographer, Brian, likes to sit there very often, has his laptop here and photos all night. Occasionally other people to, you know, turn on their laptops and work from here or we just hang out. We have our drinks, you know, just it's our hangout space basically here. one, two, three, four, five, six. And then these two chairs can also turn around so it can become like a full lounge space for more people, which on the last tour, how many people did we have in this at one point? I knew our record was six VIPs plus five. We're hanging out with the other bands and everyone. Oh, right. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. We had eleven people in here, I think. We were more, but there were this was extended and there were people just like standing here and drinking. I think we were like 15 or 16 people. The other bands decided to just like hop in here and hang out with us. Yeah, this is the kitchen. Currently have the fan plugged in because we have no AC, so this is helping a little bit. Cutting board sink. We have drawers here with like some cutlery. Oh, it's a mess. Bunch of paper towels and napkins that we get from, you know, food places. We needed to change a tire on this tour. So whoops, roadside assistance. They helped us out with that. That's a medicine in here. Benadryl. What's this? Daytime cold and flu hot sauces. It's just a whatever door. This one has Velcro. All right. Hey, ramen. Got ramen and more Velcro and towels and stuff like that. We don't really use this too often. Technically, we can cook this stove top area and oven run on propane. So we could turn on the propane and cook on this tour. Unfortunately, we haven't really been doing it because there's been a lot of drives, overnight drives. And any time we stayed at a campground, we just ordered food at the campground. It was just easier time wise. We can on the previous tour. We cooked a pizza in here. You know, it is certainly possible. But for this tour with the crazy drives that we've had to do, just no cooking. Microwave. So let's check out the cabinets now. This is mostly for our plates and cups and stuff like that, which are all toppled over because we were driving paper plates. There's some fruit in here, some snacks. Our main snack cupboard, though, is this one. So cleaned it out today because the peanut butter spilled everywhere. But up there we have chips and beef jerky and stuff like that. Here we have a coffee maker that we pull out and make our own coffee, granola bars. And then down here we have all like the nuts, trail mix, cashews, almonds, stuff like that. And down here we have some vitamins and liquid IV and Tide Pods for when we do laundry. The fridge currently is not working because. Yeah, but it's not working. It's not working. There's no light. I think the engine needs to be running for the fridge to be running because the main power button is not working. It's confusing, I know. And the fridge smells weird, even though even if you don't have food in it, it smells weird. Now we do have food. It's still cold. But, uh, yeah, mostly drinks and our leftovers from yesterday went to Olive Garden. We have some leftovers. And then in the freezer, we just have some booze and ice in the cooler so that it's not like all over the the freezer. It's just concentrated in one space. And then here we have extra sodas and waters from the venues that we take at the end of the night, restock the fridge. And then here we didn't check. This cabinet are the cleaning supplies. I think up here is mostly personal belongings. Laptop, stage laptop, one of them. Yeah, personal belongings, the switch and yeah, some people's laptop stuff and this needs to get fixed. This is bad manufacturing because this is just like crazy glue and it's coming out. We need to fix that before it falls. And we have another damage in here. So I can't turn them on right now, but there are lights up here. There's lights down here. There's lights here as well. The ones we do like are the party lights that are actually above this trim and they go all around. So the whole thing illuminates, but nothing is like blinding you as you're hanging out. Those are the cool ones. I want one gentleman over here just hanging. So pretty no, no frills going on here. But got our little bunk, got a TV stand without a TV, of course. Got a little bit of power there. Nice, bright light. Oh, never mind, lights don't work. And yeah, I've got my own little little blind there so I can make it all nice and dark. There's a curtain here that closes and then I can sit here and shop for bases in private. It's it's amazing. This is my bunk or I guess the one I've been sleeping the most in. And yeah, I'm usually up here during the drives as well. If I'm not co-piloting, playing phones on my games and that make me watch ads. And when that happens, I looked out of the window. And here's the bathroom. We need to get through the bathroom. Sometimes this door, when you're parked at an angle, kind of gets stuck. All right. So come on in. This is the bathroom sink. The cabinet, we have just basic stuff, toothbrushes, you know, toothpaste, soap, all the stuff. Toilet. Ta-da. And what do we have here? Just more toiletry stuff. Sometimes when we're parked and we're hooked up to water, like at a campground or a Love's or where they have a full hookup, you could hook up to like city water and then we can all shower. It's happened a few times on tour. Currently, we are not showering. So when we're not showering, we use it to keep our cleaning supplies. And these are everyone's towels here. And this is the bath mat for when we do shower. We've been lucky on this tour, though. A lot of venues have had showers. So that's been awesome. And then, yeah, we go through the bathroom to get to the bed in the back, which is kind of crazy that this is always accessible back here. This is where Robbie and I sleep. It's a bed. One thing we did one night when we couldn't find like a travel stop or rest area to stay, we stayed at a Cracker Barrel because apparently you can stay at a Cracker Barrel overnight with an RV. It's allowed. So we stayed there and then we woke up the next morning and had breakfast. And as we were walking through the gift shop, Quackers here was just staring at us. It was only $30, which is crazy given the size of this thing, 30 bucks. So we got him and he's been our merch buddy for the past few shows. He sits at the merch. We put a hat on him. Sometimes he needs to wear his own like bracelet to enter the the venue as well. And he's just, yeah, he's a road buddy now. So first thing I want to say is the main reason I have Quackers there and that like back pillow is to block these drawers. Because when we're driving, you know, the RV takes a turn. You feel all the turns way more in the back of the RV. So it looks like a nice, nice spot, but it's actually not the comfiest spot to sleep when you're driving. And then all these drawers will open up. Same thing with this cabinet here. One night. We OK, let me show you. This is actually accessible right now. So we have some clothes in here. But the main thing is we have our CDs and vinyls here and some posters. So whoever stocked up the vinyls and CDs one day didn't do a great job. And we were driving through some bumps and I was lying down here and these drawers just like opened and all the vinyls came like and attacked me. So I like putting stuff to block these from opening when we're driving. But aside from that, yeah, when we're parked. Sorry, when we're not extended is what I'm trying to say is we can't you can't access everything. So there's like two drawers down there that you can't access as well as this one. It's a little tight. So we make sure to put stuff we don't need every day, like extra storage space back there. The TV, that's cool. It also has like a hidden storage compartment up there. So I like to put some personal items there. And then let's block that off up here as well. Just personal belongings, really just bags, camera, just clothes, you know, nothing crazy. Um, what else is cool about this? There's chargers on both sides. What else? Oh, what's actually kind of crazy. I can't show you too well right now, but this wooden piece it opens up and it's actually the compartment from the outside that we store gear in. So it's crazy. Like you can access it from here and from the outside. I could show you from the outside after that flap right under the bed leads to this compartment. And it goes all the way in. But basically what we store here gear wise is our in-ear rig and our wireless rig. And we have all the other gear and merch in there. And that's because of me. I'm paranoid if that were ever to get like stolen or damaged or whatever. We could always find another guitar, another bass, you know, more drums. How are you going to find an in-ear rig with the settings that you have and all your wireless stuff? So I'm very adamant about keeping it on the RV instead of the U-Haul trailer. So that's why we store that there. Thank you so much for checking out our rig. Sorry you couldn't get the full experience, but we are Sixth Sense. We've been on tour for the past month. It's been amazing. We put out our debut album this year called Cross Me Twice. Feel free to check it out on all streaming platforms. We also run our own merch store online, SixthSenseMerch.com. We design and print all our merch. So if you want to support the band, that is the best way to support the band. That's all I got. Thank you so much for watching.
