00:00oh you made it come on up to our fantastic tour bus we're really excited

00:19that you're here again I can't seem to get rid of you people you're here 15

00:23years ago I heard so welcome back this is our tour bus and I'm my name is JR I

00:30play in less than Jake and I'm here to give you the tour so right now less than

00:35Jake is on the summer circus tour with our friends the suicide machines fishbone

00:39and bite me Bambi we're gonna have the band cat bite on and the next leg on the

00:44west coast we're out all summer we're also playing the vans warp tour maybe you

00:49missed the one in DC but we got one in Long Beach coming up and then we got one

00:52in Orlando in November so we're just always on tour but this tour is the

00:57summer circus 2025 and we're excited to have everybody out well now you know

01:02people always want to know the features of the tour bus so the first feature that

01:06we'd like to show you is our television this is a 55 inch TCL television that

01:12none of us know how to work yet but I'm sure within the next three weeks we'll

01:16figure it out until then that's all we got so right here this is where the magic

01:22happens this is the snack section as you can see we have a variety of used and

01:29new snacks and we also have some cups here just in case we need to pour

01:34something from our fabulous cooler that's right we have a fine variety of Miller

01:39lights and all kinds of stuff because this is where the magic happens yeah I

01:44don't think there's a preference to anything anymore we used to have

01:48preferences to certain kinds of IPAs and certain kinds of beers and you know now

01:54we're pretty much a liquor band so the beer is for guests mostly yeah so here we

02:02are again this is our front lounge this is where we lounge and this is where the

02:07magic happens in front mostly and as you can see we have these wonderful

02:12cupboards also where the magic happens that's the bagel magic that we have buddy

02:16has a little creatine because as you get older you need you know energy powder

02:22form and this is the real magic this is the booze section I will have to remove

02:28the clothes steamer but as you can see we have a wide variety of alcohol this came

02:35from our friends in the suicide machines and they drank most of it so thanks guys

02:40for the gift that you drank this is also where the magic happens this is Matt our

02:47drummer and it is making magic happen right now as you can see just his presence

02:53I'm watching the magic yeah and so now to my immediate left your right is our

02:58kitchen area and this particular machine is our DeLonghi Magnifica coffee maker this is

03:07arguably the most important thing on the bus probably more important than most of

03:12the band members because if it wasn't for this we wouldn't be able to do that and

03:16by that I mean the thing you want us to do so this is easy just wake up in the

03:23morning you press one button boom magic and everybody's happy this is an item that

03:28we own we keep in our storage unit and it comes on every tour with us we also have

03:34one in Europe that we store we also are in the process of buying one in Australia

03:40but we don't go there that often so but this is the most important thing on the

03:45bus that isn't a band member you know we don't really keep a lot of snacks up here

03:50this is mostly coffee and coffee mugs we do have you know a little bit of peanut

03:56butter because occasionally somebody needs protein first we also have a lot of

04:01these liquid IVs because well you know world so you got to make sure that you're

04:07hydrated properly and yeah okay this is the microwave as you can see it's very

04:18clean because our driver just cleaned it but before that it looked like there was

04:23nuclear fallout this is the freezer where we keep the ice and the ice cream that we

04:29didn't eat the other night chocolate is also kept here because it melts this is

04:35the refrigerator and it is stock full of mostly salsa it seems and butter there is

04:41a ton of butter and more orange juice you would think we're all diabetic with the

04:48amount of orange juice we have on this bus but we're not we're not but we do cater

04:52to diabetic people so we do have a writer it's called the catering writer and so

04:57that just is the items that we need to cater to our needs on a daily basis the

05:02things that we use the most are water and that seems to disappear but as you

05:08can see we are very poor at drinking all of the water so we will take some of this

05:14undrank water and put it in the coffee machine now you're probably thinking why

05:19would I take somebody's poisonous mouth fluids and put them in the coffee

05:23machine we're trying to figure that out too but you know what it makes sense to us

05:26we don't like to waste water so water is the most used thing also bananas they

05:31seem to really just fall into the ether because people eat them so much that

05:36potassium thing again get older you know and what else do we eat a lot of that

05:41seems to disappear hmm you know cream cheese is one of those things that we go

05:48through a lot of for whatever reason I don't understand that also this is

05:52coffee mate Snickers flavor and we go through bottles of this I don't drink it

05:57myself but Roger I think he just pours a mug full of this and then spits a little

06:02coffee into it in the morning that's how he does so those are the things that we

06:06use the most on the bus this of course is really where the magic happens this is

06:12the bathroom and you can barely fit in there here I'll show you because there's a

06:17full-size toilet you know maybe art yourself a little bit sometimes but you

06:23know water works and you know it's a toilet you just can only do number one

06:28not number two so it's enough of that come this way come this way this is where

06:36the magic happens by magic I mean sleep so this is our bunk area this is my bunk as

06:42you can see there's not a lot of what we would call space in here but you know

06:48when you're really tired and you need to sleep this works you know that's about

06:53all it works for so there are obviously three bunks that you can choose from the

06:58top bunk the middle bunk and the bottom bunk each one has its positives and each

07:04one has its negatives and most of the negatives are around how many cocktails

07:11maybe you had that particular night climbing up into a top bunk while flying

07:16down the highway at 65 miles an hour could be a challenge getting in up from

07:22the bottom bunk in the morning at 50 years old can also be a challenge your

07:28best bet is a middle bunk luckily I have a middle bunk there's only four of them

07:33band members kind of get the middle bunks and everybody else they can just sort of

07:38figure it out but as you can see we have space for 12 we carry 10 so this is my

07:47bunk you can figure out where everybody else lives normally by the smell so keep

07:51coming this way and you'll see further this is where the magic happens the back

07:57lounge everybody wants to come into the back lounge except for me most times but as

08:03you can see we have all kinds of things this is where we create custom drum heads

08:08and symbols this is where our friends drop off toys like my friend Tim Baron this

08:15is where we have real important things like rider items that get hidden right so

08:23there's certain rider items that people find that they hide and M&M seems to be one of those things

08:29we also have a square reader here so we can easily get your money from your

08:35checking account into our checking account from buying wonderful

08:39merchandise there's a guitar we have some storage area but it's mostly just

08:44mirrors so we can see how good we all look yeah so I mean I guess the question

08:48is you know what's the difference between the front lounge people versus the

08:52back lounge people the front lounge people tend to be the work people the

08:56people that are working on the day-to-day things and the back lounge people tend to

09:00be the other people that are on tour just kind of having a good day and so

09:07that's you know when you're trying to have a good day you come back here you

09:11relax a little bit quiet a little bit warmer than maybe the front of the bus and

09:18you know it's a good place for everybody to kind of meet and talk about

09:22everything that everybody in the front of the bus is doing yeah it just seems

09:27like a meeting spot a meeting of the minds you could say and sometimes it's

09:36quite a meeting but that's it there's really no huge difference other than this

09:42is smaller that is bigger well I want to thank you for coming back to our bus and

09:49seeing all of the things that we have it's been a wonderful time and wonderful

09:53having you but unfortunately our time has come to an end so with that said thank

10:00you digital tour bus now I've got things to do catch you later
