Varials - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2201

One day I'm gonna pull up on a fish on this tour. Got a suitcase in the way. I'm assuming that's Mike's because it's the biggest on the wagon. Two up, moving the ball. Yeah, that's very inspirational and that's kept us going through a lot of ----. Come on in. Yo, what's up? I'm Skyler. I do vocals and barrels. I'm Sean. I play drums. And this is our home for the next month and a half. Over here, we got our kitchen. We got half-drink water bottles. My lemonade from maybe like 20 minutes ago. I have no idea whose coffee that is. MacBook charger, coffee creamer, coffee cups, air fryer with nothing in it. Now you get a nice bagel in the morning and you just pop it in there and you let it just warm up in the air fryer while it's heating up to the right temperature. Perfect toasting ability right there. We got some tequila. We like to have a couple drinks every night after the set, you know, on the drive. We got these socks the other day from St. Andrew's Hall. It was a sold-out show. I've got my Colombian coffee grounds. It's really cheap, but it gets the job done. Up here, we've got our TV, which we have yet to use because it's so ******* bumpy in these things. This is an extra display because Michael hyper-focuses on his laptop like 95% of the time and he can't get off of it. He literally fell asleep on the couch holding it last night right there. He's for sure a laptop guy. Why don't you give him the real reason you got that? No, no, no, no. I'm this guy. My spare MacBook, my old MacBook. Within 48 hours, somehow the screen breaks. So he has to use that as a portable display. But he brought it for a reason. He brought it for a reason. He didn't break the laptop. PS5 controller, no PS5. I'm not sure what these are. In here is where we keep our set list. Thank you. Yeah, so we grab these every single day. This is where we take the stage. Got a suitcase in the way. I'm assuming that's Mike's because it's the biggest on the wagon. All right, we got our fridge right here. Pop it open. Refrigerated things, dude. Check this out. Ah, I thought that was just regular Chick-fil-A sauce. But we got some different flavors in here. Zesty buffalo sauce from Chick-fil-A. Can't go wrong with that. You got hummus. You know, you got ketchup here. A funny thing about this bottle, right? I have a keystone on my knuckle, which represents Pennsylvania. A lot of people ask me if I have the Heinz ketchup logo tattooed on my finger. And I'm gonna just start saying, yeah, I do, dude. It's ******* sick, isn't it? We got ginger ale. Raspberries. And a bunch of other random assortments and things in here. You know, wine. Feeling a little frisky. Carrots. Help your eyes, man. You know, blind us out. I didn't eat enough carrots when I was a kid. Up here we got the freezer. We got waffles. Other things. For the air fryer. Yeah, that's the fridge. Well, in here we got plates, silverware, extra chips, coffee maker. Keep you energized when you wake up. Yeah. Okay, here's an actual thing. So we found these, right? Well, Michael found these. So when you get an air fryer for your bandwagon, you get one of these nice things. And you pop this out. And then you put your food in this into the air fryer. Because we already know how much of a pain in the ass would be to try to clean this thing on tour. So this, like, actually, like, being for real, like, if you get an air fryer, invest in some of these bad boys right here. It'll help you out a lot. Yeah, we got some hacks going on. We got, like, the Gorilla Grip, whatever this is. We got the parchment paper for the air fryer. We got the little, like, silverware. All, like, little individual ones so it doesn't fly around. Keep that OCD in check. Some random miscellaneous ----. We just watered down here. Up in these cabinets, we got bread, bagels, me and Sean's portable fishing rods. Because, like, on the off days. Shout out, Morgan, for getting those. Where my real anglers at, right? Y'all thought I was playing. Hold on. One day, I'm going to pull up on a fish on this tour. Check me out, right? Right behind the goddamn bagels. The Rodman. I keep seeing that dude on Instagram who makes the rapping diss tracks about fishing. Pull up on me, bro. I'll outfish you any day. Got my little reel right here. You slap that on there. That's all you need. Go get you a hog out on the creek somewhere. I do have one thing before we, like, push back this way. So every day we wake up, it depends on who it wants to be. But we always go in here and we pop one of these guys. These things are, like, basically, like, daily inspiration cards. So I'll let the man behind the cam grab one. And then you just pop it. A possibility was born the day you were born. And it will live as long as you live. That's a good one. That's actually one of the best ones we've had. So we grab this. And then we come over here. Stick it right in there. Week one's almost done. So then we'll put those back and collect them. And then this is all our, like, caps for how many drinks we've had. Obviously, when you get fucked up and hammered, you don't really think to keep putting them in there. We're trying our best. Just so we've been tuned up. This right here is, like, the staple quote of this band. Do up, moving they ball. Yeah, that's very inspirational. And that's kept us going through a lot of ----. Yeah, I mean, up here in these other cabinets, we've got an assortment of snacks. Mike's extra hoodie. Shane's coffee. He probably hides because he wants to drink all of mine and then make me buy more. I don't know what's in that cabinet. This? Yeah. It's just, like, snacks. Yeah, just random miscellaneous ----, you know. Extra storage, jackets, ---- like that. This is Dylan. He's our media guy. He works at a company called MidVessel. They do all of our music videos, media content, etc, etc. He's a great dude. He's working hard. Got the thinking cap on. Yeah, so every day we wake up, it's like the tooth fairy hits, but it's the per diem fairy. So we'll wake up with extra money in our envelopes to make sure we're nice and full for the day. Or you can use it for whatever you like. I don't know what anybody uses their money for except when we all go out to eat together. Whiteboard. This is just to-do list ----. Like it says, we had to do lights today. That's every day. Check the lights because we were having some troubleshooting problems. Had to get a video done by 3 p.m. to post on Instagram, blah, blah, blah. Keep the marker up here so we know exactly where it's at. This is a thermostat. So if you want it nice and cool, you turn it to the left. And if you want it blazing hot like a ******* volcano, you go all the way to the right. Normally, we like to pop that on for maybe four minutes. We got more essentials back here. Yeah. Sleeping situations. You know, I keep these on me. Go birds. I can't wait to pull up to a Buc-ee's in Texas and post a picture of my feet and say, **** the cowboys. So I have like a mild sleeping disorder and I tried sleeping up here. And it didn't work out too well and I felt crazy the next day. So I took the big bunk. So usually this is like a couch. There's like cushions behind it and stuff. But I got lucky because usually I always get the worst sleeping situation. But somehow I won the jackpot on this tour. Got this big Taj Mahal looking ******* thing. So we'll master that. This is everybody's junk up here. But yeah, when we have friends come to see us in the next few weeks, we're gonna have to figure out what to do with that. It's neat and tidy for now. Right here. This is where our boy Cags normally sleeps. He's another media person from Mid Vestibule. He's a great dude. Every night we dap each other up from right here because Mike's still probably out on the couch working. This is Mike's bunk. Oh, Grandpa Sparky, you're a little thirsty. Oh. Oh, good man. You okay? Yeah, he likes to just like kind of pop around and ----. But yeah, we'll leave him be. He's got some ---- to attend. This is my bunk down here. I like being the lowest on the floor because it's easier for me to roll out. I'm kind of like a wide man. So hopping up and down was not in my favor. This is Mike's charging station that he let me borrow because he's a good friend and he always has to help me with literally everything because I can't keep up with my own ----. I've got my bed vape and then I've got my pocket vape that Sean gave me because he didn't want it. Over here, this is Chris, our sound guy's bunk. He's always in bed like pretty early after we like load out. Might have a couple beers and chill for a little bit before bus call. This is Shane's bunk. If I could piss on this thing, I ******* would. Let's **** that guy. I'm just kidding. Love Shane. All right, Shane sleeps right there. And then we got Dylan's bunk right here. See these guys little ******* snack. They're literally called snacks. What the **** are these? It's the first gluten-free pastry I think I've ever found. That's insane. They look good. And yeah, that's the bunk area. All right, so on to the bathrooms and shower. This is our toilet area. Oh, Grandpa Sparky. I can't take a ---- in here! Wake up! Sorry, Sparky. He's just everywhere all at once. Yeah, we'll just leave him in there for a bit. This is our shoe rack. We try to be organized. Normally, our daily wears we'll put in here because they tend to ******* reek. I'll wake up in the middle of the night, maybe spray a little cologne so it doesn't get too bad. Let's see if anybody's in there. Nobody seems to be. So yeah, this is our shower room. Over here, we got our sink. Normally, we just have one water bottle because we don't like to use the water. But you gotta pour water on your toothbrush, spit, and ----. Looks like somebody's in the shower right now. Oh, Grandpa Sparky. He's in here training before the set tonight. He loves standing side stage. Anytime he plays some of the new albums, he's just ******* mopping motherfuckers down. Grandpa, give me your best roar. That's a good man. Yeah, and then we got our towels. I know this one's mine because I got a distinct color that I could pick out pretty easy. I love you, Grandpa. And yeah, that's it. Yeah, we're Varials from Philadelphia. Our new record, When the Light Leaves, is out now. We're on tour with Ball Cutter, Unity, and Heavy Hitter. Like I said, we're out for the next month or so. So feel free to come out to any of the shows and come kick it with us. Say what's up. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Grandpa Sparky, get off. I don't want to be around anymore. Get off, Grandpa. Thanks for checking out our bus. We'll see you guys next time.
