ANKOR - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2211

We only do Pepsi and cereal. Those are our drugs. I mean, you could do it, but then you would have to empty it, which is disgusting. Welcome to a Spanish bus. Hi everyone, we are Ankor and you are going to see our bus today. I'm going to introduce you to everyone on board today. We have Julio here, our bass player. Fito, guitar player and the goofy guy in the band. The goofy. Eleni, our drummer. There you go. David, our guitar player. Mark, our tour manager. And I am Jessie, singer in Ankor. And we're going to show you a little bit of our bus today. Some destroyed things. We could start with this. Well, let me tell you first. Let me tell you what we're doing. We're on tour. This is our first US tour. And we are supporting Bloodywood. We're very happy to be here. And we're also playing with The Pretty Wild and Ladrones. So, four very different bands. It's amazing. All the crowds have been amazing so far. Very open-minded. And we're having the time of our lives. So, a great tour. So, as you can see here, we have two TVs. Two amazing TVs. We were so excited to have two TVs. We were like, oh, we can play games on one. We can watch films on the other. That only happened for a couple of days. Because our sound engineer was standing here or sitting. I don't remember. But the roads in the US are very, very bumpy. Very bumpy. So, representation, can you show what happened? He was picking up the tablet so we can play some songs. And then he was like this and a really big bump. Bumpy road. Yeah. And the TV broke. So, we only have one now. We told the company. And their reply was, damn. And then there was another email from someone else in the company that said, jeez. That's it. That's all they said. So, yeah. This is our broken TV. We use it to hang our flag. Sometimes hang towels as well. The one TV that does work, we use basically to play Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Football. Mario Smash Bros. All kinds of video games. We have four or five Nintendo Switch on this bus at the moment. Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, Nintendo Switch 2. There's a lot of remotes. So, we play quite a few games on here. I always beat Vito because he's terrible. And I'm the best on this bus so I always win. Not true, not true. Of course it's not true. It's not true. He beats my ass most of the time. But I still have fun. It's good, it's good. So, yeah. We basically play video games on this TV. We haven't watched anything. Just played. Except for Eleni. She likes watching series. And drinking coffee. And falling asleep on the bus. Only watch. And falling asleep. Only watch, no listen. So, these sofas here basically is where we chill out and where Eleni likes to sleep. Eleni always prefers a sofa or couch to a bed. So, if you are here at 3 or 4 am and you get up, you will probably find Eleni asleep on here. Right? Or maybe here. Maybe in different places. Here? Yeah, it changes. It changes. Yeah, there's quite a variety. But it's much better on the bus. It's funny to see sometimes when she falls asleep and she leans her head on this window, the views from the streets are quite fun. Because you see Eleni completely passed out. No drugs, just sleep. That's all we do on this bus. That's not alcohol. No. It's just that this sofa is soft than our beds. It is comfy. It's way better than the beds. I'm saying you. Since day one. So yeah, this is basically what happens here. Then we have this corner here which now looks actually quite tidy. Because we know you are coming in. Yeah. Yeah, we knew we had a visit today so we cleaned up a little bit. It's normally full. Like completely full of stuff. It's actually quite dangerous as well because when you're sitting here, sometimes bags full. On our beds. So now it's quite tidy. It's not normally like this. Okay, so we're going to show you our cupboards. Some of us have our own cupboard. Others don't. They say singers take up a lot of space. Just so you know, I don't have one. Nothing. I have two. You have two? And you know the thing is, not only singers. They say women take up the most space and we're the only two without a cupboard. No, but you share with everyone of us. No, I don't. I have nothing in here. You're going to see mine. There's stuff. Your stuff. Fito will show you his first. See what you have. Of course. So first of all, I'm going to show you. Yes, it's stuff. That's not mine. That's both of us. I bought that. I paid for it. But it's his and mine. No, no, no, no. This is yours. Who's the Xin Shan book? That one's mine. But show yours. Show yours. No, no, no. There's no kids in the bus. But you have one too. This is mine, yes. No, no. There you go. As you can see, I drove better than Jesse. He's older. More experienced. That's why, yeah. Oh, and there's some socks for my father. Because he was a lorry driver, so I bought him mag socks. In our laps, of course. And then we have here the mini amp, which we use to rehearse a little bit. And then we have here the elastic band to train a little bit. So I also have here some candies they gave me for my birthday. It's because he likes to suck something before he goes to bed. And I don't have Irina, my girlfriend, here, so... I have here... That was a reaction to Irina. Not to Irina, to the comment about Irina. Plenty of magnets from each state here. From each state we come across to. A lot of them. Then some games that fans gave to us in Lubok, I think it was. In Lubok, yeah. And then here I have a lot of small cereal boxes that they gave me for my birthday. And he's not allowed to share them. My bag of dirty clothes, of course. And Ivana hoodie I get in a Walmart for just 10 bucks. I mean, look at this. Just 10 bucks! My Nintendo Switch, which is now in the TV. And that's all. Most important. Toothpicks. Okay, so in the common one, what do we have? I always thought, I thought someone... Because someone opened this yesterday and there was food inside. I thought someone was stealing food and keeping it. But apparently... Ah! Was this on the bus already? Yeah, but this is from Ale. This is a weird thing. Food. Okay, food. A tablet. I've never opened this before. Okay, it's not very interesting. It's basically food. Yeah, it is hidden food. It is. It says Ale. Ale, our sound engineer. Ale, we got you! Bastard! You're gonna have to do some explaining later. And Kia, okay. That's fine, that's fine. Because she paid for hers. Okay, but that's not very interesting. This one I think is gonna be better. Be careful, Jessie. This is the dangerous one. Be careful with the TV, yeah? This is Pusil's cupboard. Pusil is Arnau, our photographer and videographer. In Catalan, the word Pusilga is basically... How would you say Pusilga in English? The place where pigs live. Yeah, the place where pigs live. So basically, something very untidy. Oh, no! Oh, it's not too bad. Now, he has very important stuff in here that he uses for work. Like his cowboy hat. Very important. Games. Mario. Oh, Mario Strikers. Ah, it's not called Mario Football then. It's called Mario Strikers, right? I said that wrong. Dude wipes. Because he's very manly. And he can't use normal... Dirty clothes! I have been attacked! Clothes. Clothes. He also has a bay on his own. More hats. And then... A Nintendo Switch. So we've counted two. Fito's and Arnau's. Another hat. You can never have too many hats. And he's bought all of these on the tour. All of them. And I'm sure he's bought more. This is so untidy. Socks. Terrible. Okay, this is... This is the cupboard we don't open. Because... There you go. Things fall from it. So it's dangerous. And now it's quite... Now it's half empty. Now it's half empty because I think he's taken stuff upstairs. But... Normally I think he has his laptop in here as well. Cameras. Loads of things. So... And he's also stealing food. Or Arnau. Arnau. Okay. So that's Arnau's. I can show the common... This one? No. Well, yeah. Maybe. This is mine. Julio and Puya. Yeah. So this is like another common one. Laptops. Recording stuff. Tickets. A lot of tickets. Interface. Because we also record during tour. Money. Also we have there the... The mini keyboard. But yeah. A lot of Visa documents. Yeah, documents. Yeah. This is mine. Wow. Pretty untidy as well. Yeah. To be honest, not the best day to show. Or maybe it is the best day. Ah. Yesterday's Nintendo Switch. So we're sharing. I only have one coloring book and Fitos and one Nintendo Switch in there. That's all I have in the cupboards. I have mine here. But to be honest, I have a lot of things. All this. All this stuff. Things from Japan. Because we flew directly from Tokyo to San Francisco. Because we had a couple of shows there. And of course, if you're in Japan and you're a ******* nerd like us, you have to buy everything. No, it wasn't me. Just kidding. Ah. Some presents from Crunchyroll. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we visited the Crunchyroll studios in the office in Dallas. And they gave us some presents. A goodie bag. Yeah, a goodie bag with a lot of things. A microphone for recording. I don't know. A jacket. How are we going to pack all this? I think that's it. Some headphones. Yeah. Not much more. More games. More games that a fan gave to us. Yeah. Films. Yeah, we're getting a lot of presents in this tour. Which is nice, of course. But I think that's it. Julio things. I'm not sure. No. Julio. Look at what Julio has. I see food, Julio. It's a gift or a fan. Yes. I love this ******* comic. Tissues, of course. A lot of figures. From Japan. Amazing series. Yeah, Dandaran. Love it. Momo. And Okarun. A Shonen Jump from Japan. Shogoku. Ah, my favorite figure in the world. What's the name of the tournament? 23rd Tournament. Yes. And my iPad support. But you're not saying what I've seen in there. What is that? It's Jesus' fault. I don't put it here. Yeah, right. He's stealing all the croissants. Jesus, who is not here, it's his fault. Maybe Jesus or Alan or now. Of course it is. Jesus is our driver. I don't know. He's our driver and he always is in the front. So it's probably his fault. For sure. All right. Norman. I prefer chocolate croissants. So, as you can see, this bus is not very short people friendly. So apparently I have to climb every time. I need to find something. And that's where you put my jam? I was looking for it the whole morning. See, it's coming now. Thank you. I'm going to give this for later. So this is a jam I really like. Apart from that, we have all the food here. Bread and more bread and more bread. It's a boring cereal, super boring. This is the discovery of the tour. Yeah, it's the best. Lucky charms with Mario Galaxy. The best croissants ever. Yeah. Did you know that those are forbidden in all Europe? Why? Because of the sugar. Sugar and colorants, I think. Sugar rush. Because we used to eat this when we were kids. And I don't know, suddenly they disappeared. And we found it in a Walmart. And now we are addicted again. But you looked it up on Google and we found out that they're banned in Europe. So you can't find Lucky Charms in Europe. So why do you buy them? Because we like sugar rush. Why do you smoke? Same, but... Same question. Exactly. But you bully me for smoking. The smoker is asking me why we buy cereal. Only during the store, you know. It's a secret. We don't take drugs. Exactly. Even we don't drink alcohol, so Lucky Charms. I see your suitcase is full of them. This is the drug day. I can see that happening. Yesterday was a party here with this. Sugar rush party. They look too colorful to be tasty. Okay, whatever. You do you. Apart from that, yeah, more bread. How much bread do you have, guys? Tortillas. I don't use this cardboard much, apparently. Because it's like I need to basically climb a mountain every time. So I don't even know what's in here. This is the good stuff. This is a very nice snack. Explain what you buy when we go to the supermarket. So when we go to the supermarket, I buy these three packages so we can last. Jam, peanut butter, guacamole. The cinnamon rolls. While the rest of us are buying proper food, like veggies, meat, pasta, potato, salad, eggs. Proper food. The only thing Eleni will buy are snacks. Because she only eats snacks. I have a secret spot. Eleni's secret spot. Look at this. Oh, yeah. Pepsi, Pepsi, we love you. This is Eleni's secret spot. Why do we have this? I don't know, to be honest. Yeah, this is super good. I cannot find those in Europe. We don't drink alcohol. No, we don't. To be honest, it's only a sound engineer. We drink quite a lot of Pepsi, don't we? Yeah, lots of Pepsi. Yeah, that's true. Pepsi sponsor. So, yeah, to continue with the food, we have 90-second fries. Very nutritious. Very useful. I've barely touched it, but very good. I think the guys seem to like it. They eat it all the time. So apart from that, more food stuff. Nachos, of course. And then... No, no, no, no. Yes. Yeah, these are David's vitamins. He's the guilty one. Come on. These are... Open it. You can't... I wish, I really wish you guys could smell a video. Vegan vitamins. Come on. Smell, smell. Like... That's why you wanted me to show all the food, so I would have to be close to you. A lot of vitamins. Very useful during tour. The smell is disgusting, though. Everybody are taking this. Everybody. It's horrible. Yeah. But it's supposed to be good for you. So here are all the disgusting stuff. So creating... Disgusting stuff. The Dragon Ball one. There was a Dragon Ball one. Here. Left. Right there. From Crunchyroll as well. Yeah, that was a present from Crunchyroll. Oh, that's cool. Zefuel, Father, Son, Fury. I don't know what this is, but it looks good. It's basically like... Like vitamins? Yeah. Mango-flavored. Very nice. And very useful on tour. I don't know what that is. This is the good stuff. Donuts. What is the big box of donuts? It's finished. Really? Yeah, of course. Yep. And here. A bunch of noodles. Thirteen? We're nine. Many noodles. And more noodles. There's name on these as well. Oh, Julio. Julio. I don't recognize that name. We don't know why. Tell us why. I don't know why Julio's on there. I can tell you why I have my name on this. Why is there my name anywhere? Because I'm a vegetarian. And some of these have meat. This one doesn't have meat, so that's mine. So that no one eats it. And more noodles. But I don't know why Julio has his name on that one. Maybe you wanted one, and someone wrote your name on it. Maybe this is because you just eat eggs. And we all know that. Not on the keyboard. But I didn't put my name on the Eggos though. I put my jam there. Ah, these are mine. I'm going to put my name on them. If you want your noodles, I get my chips and whatever. And my jam. Let's move to the fridge. Well, and this area. We bought this. I love Jesus. Because our driver's name is Jesus. So, we love our driver. He's the best. We love Jesus. And this is just so that he remembers every morning how much we love him. He's the best. Now. Welcome to our huge fridge. Now, this is the biggest fridge we've ever had on a tour. And that makes us extremely happy. We've been buying magnets from all the states. I was trying to do only the states we played. But I'm missing five already. And then someone's buying just loads of them. I don't know. These are mine. And Bucky's, obviously. Because we love Bucky's now. So, our fridge is actually quite healthy. You'll find potato salad, drinks, eggs, salad. A normal fridge, I mean. There's nothing strange in here. Quite normal. And we have a lovely freezer as well. With, as well, vegetables. And very healthy stuff, as you can see. Because we're healthy people. There you go. And then they say that rock bands and metal bands only do drugs and alcohol. We don't. We only do Pepsi and cereal. Those are our drugs. We're easy people. So, these three banks here, which are the worst. Because of the noise, obviously. We have our videographer, photographer, down here. I'm going to lift his pillow. The other day, it was full of cables. I don't know what this is going to look like today. There you go. Some people say all these cables are because he charges himself during the night. He doesn't sleep. He charges himself. So, yeah. And also, very important, under his pillow, he's going to kill me. He's got his Lego passport. Because everyone knows that you need your Lego passport under your pillow, just in case. Very important. Yeah. And then, I don't want to touch too much. Who knows? This is Mark's bunk. Our tour manager. Mark, is it tidy? Oh, it's very tidy. It's very tidy. Okay. Good. Very good. And this is Ale, our sound engineer's bunk, which is also very tidy. So, they sleep here. I think it's because they sleep through anything, basically. Nothing wakes them up. So, that was easy to decide. And then, we have six more bunks here. This is Jesus' bunk. He sleeps here. It's tidy as well. I don't know how it's mine. Huh? You don't know how yours is? No. Are you scared? No. Okay. Then, Julio's bunk, tidy as well. He's got books, posters. I don't know. It looks good. You're not going to find anything weird, I think. Eleni, maybe Eleni... Oh, ----. This one is more interesting. Welcome to Eleni's bunk. Please. She sleeps with all this in there. She sleeps with everything in there. As I told you, I'm too short to reach anything up there. So, basically, this is my cupboard. Yeah. It's okay. Everything is in there. It's okay. It's fine, Eleni. It's good. Now, Eleni sleeps... She's a strange person. We love her. I love her a lot. But she is a strange person. She sleeps with all these things in here. And then she also sleeps with her light on every night, which is horrible. I'm afraid of the dark. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. Now, this is my bunk. It's not too bad. If you lift it up, just... I don't know. Quite normal stuff. A few pills just in case I have a heartburn at night. Normal stuff. A whistle. Because you never know when you might need one. Very important also when you're sleeping. Just... I don't know. It's not... It's okay. It's fine. Ben, Fito. Bueno. Okay. David's bag is in Fito's bunk. Why? No, it's not mine. Mark, right? Fito, are you stealing stuff? No, they're putting stuff in my place. I'll put it here. That's David's. That's David's bag. Baga. Not bag. Okay. It's not too bad. Yours looks alright. Is it here? So, Fito has a diary and he writes in it every day. You've been very, very consistent. Of course. Always. So, this is the map we have and this is what we've done now. Like, we still have some more driving to do. But this is everything, all the shows we've done up to now. And then, now, I think we're going... Where are we going after this? Around this area? Yeah, yeah. Because we're doing New York, we're doing Pennsylvania. And then we're going down to Tennessee. And then we're going up again, I think. Because the last show was in Detroit. And then we have to drive down again. It's crazy routing, I have to say. As you can see, we are going to do around the world. You start in Spain, go to China, to Shanghai, to the... What's it called? The layover. Then we will go to Japan. Then we're going to San Francisco. Then we're going to Nashville. Then we do this. Yeah. And then we are going to go to Mexico and come back to Spain. Yeah. So... Goodbye. All the way around the world in less than 80 days, which is cool. And this is David's bunk, which should be very tidy because he is a very tidy person. He's very organized. Every time he sees a cup that is empty or almost empty, he'll throw it away. And then Eleni... Eleni takes like six hours to drink a coffee. She'll have a coffee all day or more. So David is always throwing her coffee away. I wait one day. You wait one day? Okay, he waits one day. But Eleni can take more than 24 hours then to finish her coffee. So his bunk is going to be very tidy. Of course it is. Nothing special here. Boring. Lastly, our bathroom. This is the best bathroom we've had on tour. We have a shower. Now, having a shower is a privilege because at least in Europe, we have showers in most venues. In the US, it's a different story. We've had showers a few days, but loads of venues don't have a shower. So having a shower here is amazing. So please come in. It stinks. You can't smell it, but it does stink in here of pee. And I don't know why because we emptied the deposit yesterday, but it's still very stinky. But yeah, we have a lovely shower, which is amazing. I've never seen a shower on a bus before. This is great. A proper mirror, cupboard, toilet. As you probably know already, you've seen many buses. The toilet is only for number one, no number two. I mean, you could do it, but then you would have to empty it, which is disgusting. It's already disgusting emptying the pee. So yeah, this is our bathroom. Thank you very much for watching. Just so you know, we are playing some shows now in June in Europe, loads of festivals. And then this fall as well, we have another big, big tour around all of Europe. That's it for now. We really hope to come back to the States next year as well. Also, if you like our music or if you've seen us on this first US tour for Angkor, make sure you follow us and you see and you know next time that we are here. Because we would really like you to come. So thank you guys for watching. Thank you so much.
