South Arcade - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2236

I went to a Ross for the first time and I've now been to like four and it's the best. I haven't got a secret stash of Ross purchases. You hide your Ross dress for less purchases in the bathroom cupboard. South Arcade, we're currently on tour doing the summer school tour. Yeah, we are Adobe Radio Summer School. We are three and a bit weeks into five weeks. We're in Chicago, which has got some crazy air and stuff going on. It has, there's been some wildfires so it's not very fun outside. So we've been using this even more as a safety, safe haven from out there. And this is where we've been living for like three weeks. Yeah, I only recently worked out how to use the Wi-Fi. So it's been a very, let's just say we haven't been using, we were about to send a complaint and be like, it doesn't even have Wi-Fi. And I literally found the route and I was like, guys, no one's even plugged it in yet. So that's been, we use the TVs to watch the World Cup when, when we were still in it. We go, oh, ouch. Oh, very sad, very sad props on cue. Yeah, that was not a good. At the time of filming this video, we lost to Argentina yesterday. It's still very fresh. It's still in a period of mourning. Yeah, yeah, it's time. Yeah. I also, we also had some made some DIY. Well, I didn't make that. I bought that. These, in case you can't tell, were made with some Crayola. You know, you never know when you need to, you know. We're so, we don't need to get, we love to game, but we haven't. We've got creative. Yeah, we haven't had a chance to game. We actually usually do like a bit of like a, we do. We use racing game or something like that. But we've also, I don't think there are any games on here. No, I don't think there are. So we've been deprived. We'll cut that out. No, we've been doing compilations of 2000s hits though on them, haven't we? That music. Yes, we have. We did have some stimuli, but it's all like the, you know, when YouTube don't really have the rights to do the right playlist. So it was just 2000 songs, but it was just pictures of Lady Gaga's face. There you go. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, like the ones where they made it in Windows. And it was like some guy's Instagram who was like DJ star sunglasses and he kept saying his name like it was crazy. Shout out to him. We should do that in our cemetery. We should do that. And just so people remember who we are. We can just start going through all the cabinets. Keep it, keep it open. Oh, sorry. So that's it. You've got to. We've got some shoes in there somewhere. Loads of storage for all the necessities. Lots of crisps. You've got to have like multivitamins and gummies and things. You don't want to get unwell on the road. So it's really important to stay. Yeah. I think we've got more snacks up here as well. Things like water. Yeah. It's mostly just storage, to be honest with you. Empty space. There's so much real estate. I won't lie, I think something might fall out this week. Oh no, watch out. These are all snacks. It's just for snacks. It's just really important to stay healthy and hydrated on the road, you know? I actually like, my favourite is the Rehab. You are? I was drinking and commiserating our football loss yesterday. And so these have got electrolytes in and they're flat. They're lovely. Lovely. Very nice. I'm your standard, basic, yet kind of gal. So I like the one. However, this is new and only over in the US. Called like Punk Punch, which seems very on brand for us. And that one's pretty good too. You like that one, don't you? That one's pretty good. What about you, Harry? Rehab, good for hangovers. Rehab. Yeah, that's what we've learned. That's important when you're on tour. I haven't, I haven't tried this. Electric Blue. It says it's shockingly smooth. Should we give it a crack on camera? Oh, I'd love to try a lukewarm one. Let's do it. Thanks. Oh, I'm so sorry. Fresh ones. Smooth. Amazing. How so? It's made with real sugars. Oh, that's good. That's a thing. Let's give it a crack. Oh, it's looking pretty luminous down there. It is pretty luminous, but it's quite nice. Oh my gosh. That's like when you have like candy store, store candy shop. Like it feels like. I can tell it's real sugar. That's one for when you're. If you froze that in like the freezer. That's another story for the bus actually. Yes. Wait a minute. I felt like you were about to. I was going to, I was going to say. Speaking of freezing. Speaking of freezing things. We did freeze a monster. But it went everywhere. And actually that one. I don't want to keep it open for too long because it looks like it might explode. I think we should get it out. What? No way. It's actually usually got all our speakers and Harry's laptop over it. Because we're unorganized and we love to make sure we're writing on the road. But we definitely could have done it at home. But you know we don't like to sleep on releases. So we've just been trying to cook up the next song on this table. To be honest. It's mainly singing and making the next songs on a laptop. Songs, videos, whatever. And making Craig Davids. Craig Davids which are. Which is a. You don't have Craig Davids over here do you? It's a shot of tequila followed by a shot of pineapple juice. And it's. Immediately after and it completely cancels the taste out. It's brilliant. And Craig Davids is a UK garage artist from the UK. I don't think he made it over here do you? No I don't think he did. But he got his name because his voice is so smooth. Oh right and that's why it's called Craig Davids. There you go. People always have them in front of the stage. And it's like maybe half the time I can catch them. It looks much cooler when I can catch them. It's just like a massive. I don't know about you but I've just got a massive collection at home. Yeah. But I do keep them all. We do keep them. Yeah. Someone actually made them the other day. I'd never seen it before. One of these. But like because I wear like the belt chains. And they'd made one of like a super super long one that went around. So it was like some really like young girl. Bless her. And then I wore it at the show. I thought that would be nice. I've got another one. Show you. Show the camera these. And now this is a new edition. Hence with all the monster thing. It's stretched to our socials I guess. But these are really cool. Someone's actually made it out of like monster tabs. And made like guitars. I think there's a bunch of them. But this is good. This is. It's pretty. That's creative. Hell. There's also. Oh. Oh my. Wait is that. Oh yeah look at this poster. We got this at the last show. It's so cool. Because I'm like big into anime and stuff. But it kind of looks like a game doesn't it? It does. I'm trying to think what. I like it a lot. Is it Powerpuff Girls? Yeah that's a little bit Powerpuff Girls. Maybe. No it's something else but I can't place what it is. It's pretty epic. But it is very cool. That's one of my favourite things. They were just. A little plug for. IG of course. Brook. Shout out Brook. Brook. And we are. Harmony, Harry, Olly, Cody. You guys are one of my favourite bands of all time. You guys rock. Your music goes absolutely insane. And I can't wait to see what you guys do next. Please do a US Headline Tour. I'll be there front row. At risk of. It's just basically. More of the same. You know. Some beer though. Pineapple juice for you. For you great Davids. We don't need to go. That's fine. This is where you get. Your Tito's. Tequila. It's more adult drinks. With freshly frozen blueberries. Freshly frozen blueberries. For a nice garnish. For like a sort of cocktail vibe. You know. We do love. I love. Whether it's. Vodka or Monster. Or Tequila or Monster. All those cocktails. We went to a Tiki bar yesterday didn't we? Yes. And. Three dots and a dash. You ever been there? It was like. I thought we were. I thought it was like hidden. We couldn't find it. So that's like a good little secret. Yes. No. It was like underground. It was very dark in there. But it was. They had a. You like a sort of rum based cocktail. They had a thing called a sipopotamus. Which was. Oh yes. That was good. A massive hippo glass. It was like $60. It was like a fishbowl. You gotta try it. But we'll have to get. Sipopotamus. Sipopotamus is on here next time. Sipopotamus. Yeah. They did cocktails that you could buy. If you paid more. You could buy the glass and take it home with you. Yeah. Which is pretty cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. So you could have had a massive hippo head. Glass. So. You might not know. But bands get a rider every night. Which is where you ask for. What you want to eat. Slash drink. For the day. And. For text. That's why we have about eight bottles of vodka. That. We've accumulated that over the space of three weeks. We do get a whole tequila and vodka. Every night. And we've had quite a lot of shows already. So I think we're doing pretty well. There is nine of us on here though. Yeah. There is. It's not just us. I promise. So that's okay. I feel like nine people can put a dent in a bottle of. Yeah. Tito's pretty easily. And we have been. Yep. But we also get. A baguette. We get some prosciutto ham. Another dry cured meat. And hummus. Cheeses. We get meats and cheeses. Always pleases. Really nutritious. We get hummus. We get. Turmeric shots. Yes. We're a big. Ginger shots. We're. We believe. They're so savage out here. The ones in the UK are like these cute little. Chilled bottles that go down. Here they're like. You know the immunity ones. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Savage out here. Uh. They didn't work because I got a vanilla. And now you're a little vanilla. Yeah. We move. It's okay. It's fine. And a husk. Yes. This is Alex's bunk. He's our guitar tech. Yeah. Our playback tech. It feels a bit wrong. But. That's just. That's your standard bunk. That's standard. You know. You get a bit of. These are interesting material. I must say. They're sort of microfiber-esque. I like them. I feel like I'm in like a. Same with the. Pipe souped up tent. I'm gonna. I'm gonna out our guitar tech. Uh. This is what's under his pillow. Nicotine pouches. Because you never know when you might need them. In the night. In the middle of the night. When you've had a bad dream. Up there. Under there. Um. Save that one. Is that okay? Save that one. Okay. Oh. This is Ted's. So this is our tour manager's bunk. This is one of the most important elements. This is controlling the temperature on the bus. Because we had it on the first. The third day. Uh. The aircon stopped working. Oh. The generator. So we had to get a new generator. And we were. It got fixed very quickly. And I actually think it was down to us. So no. No yoga coach is not here. They were very helpful. But it went wrong. And we were in Texas. I should say Brits in the heat in a hot fan. Everyone's temperature is. It was a lot. It was very very warm. Yep. So this is fundamentally you get to choose the zone. So that's in here. Or in there. And you just get to set temperature. And that I find actually makes. We're Brits we don't get to choose. we're not used to the concept of a coat it makes a big difference yes coat hook because although we've been here and it's been one of the hottest countries I've ever set foot in it's also been raining when we were going down the east coast it was like a heatwave in New York and then it was like chucking it down like two days later so you never know when you might need your coat what were you gonna say? I took my suitcase out near coach like two days ago to try and be more organised in my life feel a bit more put together opened everything out, sorted everything and the heavens just went that's such my luck and it's just a sign to not be organised just leave it they're all fairly I feel like I'm in your way why don't you open some of them I'll open some I'm scared, I don't even know what's in mine that's my one this is Ollie's oh this is nice I didn't have an eye mask so our guitar tech bought me headbands that's cute though, that's wholesome but it was too tight on my head so it gave me it felt like my eyes were coming out of their sockets so I couldn't use them but you never know when you might need them also something went wrong with my fan so I was asleep in the middle of the night hold on, mine does have their lights in it's got a badge I was asleep in the middle of the night and then my fan just suddenly did this I genuinely thought I was going into a blender anyway this one is Hannah, our lovely merch person she's got a bit of home from home I don't actually know what she calls her teddy I feel like I should have a bad friend now Lando, let's go she loves Lando Norris is your bunk in any fit state to be this I'm the messiest one if there was an eighth dwarf they'd be called messy I'm not going to stay okay that's where she sleeps I got a lot of clothes and I like a lot of things and I like having pyjamas I treated myself, I went to a Ross for the first time and I've now been to like four and it's the best concept I've ever experienced it's the best thing ever the UK don't have them what else have I got here you've got two pillows I'm a pillow thief why have you got two pillows so you can get to James' bunk hello that sounded ominous okay this is Cody right he's an arts and crafts kind of guy he's really good at drawing like tattoos he is that's not helpful that's quite wholesome actually would have been funnier that would have been really good Bailey this is art Bailey says that behind here oh don't mind me there's a window and apparently it's happened on more than one occasion it's opened while we've been on the road but you know he hasn't fallen out yet we've still got him he's definitely in the green room right we left him on the interstate last one this is James oh James bought his own pillow because he said he went to a Ross he bought a pillow because he wasn't a fan of the they're feathery though it was a firmer pillow it was stimulated no simple guy simple guy not even got a pillow case he's not even got a charger toilet situation is this something you want to know about are you sure up until quite recently there was an art exhibit in the shower it did fall and spray quite badly an art exhibit so that's a shame this is where you wee and only wee don't even think about anything else and this is sorry about me that's fine you can find that these are my purchase that they don't know about that I'm definitely going to need more luggage for in the hold I haven't got a secret stash of Ross purchases you hide your Ross dress for less purchases in the bathroom cupboard yeah there's more if you want to I've got a handbag I've got another one I want some toilet roll was that from Ross dress for less as well I'm a girl under there's where you that's where you bin your toilet paper when you've had a wee we won't go under there what else have we got to show you guys they have importantly microwave this is the final bunk but it actually also got turned storage we recently signed a deal is that clear it was a bunk and so we now we're actually the drummer's actually been so he can't sleep in his bunk anymore but he's pretty comfy up there aren't you dear well well we've been South Parking yeah thank you for coming onto the bus and exploring it with us yep anyone want to plug stream famous now this is easy you're doing really well you're doing great that's going to hurt here we go little dear out you get they always say when you jump into a swimming pool hands on the side of you swivel in thanks bud little monster cat on my other hand you're getting skewered this is good swivel that was so dramatic I've been in there for 40 minutes he texted me about 2 minutes in saying it's very warm in here could you hurry it along I went I'll do what I can
