FunTranscript
00:00I'll be lying in bed and I'll text the band group chat and be like,
00:02Hey, you guys up.
00:04One big sleepover.
00:05It's a giant sleepover every night.
00:06I am reliant on coffee for a good show.
00:08No coffee, no good show.
00:10Which makes the late night snacking moments a little bit tough
00:13because I'm like, oh man, all we have are pita chips.
00:45Oh, hello.
00:47Welcome to the Rhyme House Tour Bus.
00:49Come on in.
00:50Hello.
00:51I'm Zenday.
00:52Will.
00:53This is my friend, Will.
00:54We're in the band.
00:55We're friends.
00:56Sometimes.
00:58I play the drums.
01:00He sings, plays the guitar.
01:01And right now we're on the 2026 Runaround Mini Man Tour across the U.S.
01:07Hey.
01:08Across the U.S.
01:09Hey.
01:10It's quite exciting.
01:10Yes.
01:11Would you like to see some more?
01:13Okay.
01:14Follow us two steps this way.
01:15Yes.
01:16We are in the front lounge, as we call it,
01:19which has a lovely little kitchen section.
01:23TVs.
01:24We just got gifted these beautiful beanies from our friend Meg.
01:27And she got this in Wilmington as a little reminder of Wilmington, our time filming there.
01:34These came in clutch because we're going to be going to some cool places.
01:38So very much, very much stokey.
01:40Yeah.
01:40In addition.
01:41So as you notice, we have a TV here and a TV there.
01:46We actually sync up the TVs so we can have friends sitting here and friends sitting there.
01:52And we watch the same thing.
01:54And we've been doing some movie nights.
01:55We've been doing some movie nights.
01:56We just did a little Wally.
01:58Wally.
01:59We've been enjoying the children's cartoons, re-watching them.
02:02They have good messages in them that we like to take on the tour.
02:07You know, Rango, chameleons are cool.
02:10That's the message, right?
02:12Indeed.
02:12Wally, roadblocks are cool.
02:14We really enjoyed that.
02:15So as you can see here in the kitchenette, as I throw my orange peel away,
02:20we've got an espresso machine.
02:21Yes.
02:22Me, I am reliant on coffee for a good show.
02:25No coffee, no good show.
02:27So for that reason, espresso machine.
02:29Keep some pods in this area here.
02:32Throw those on the rider.
02:33Make sure you get those.
02:34Some tea for the singers of the group.
02:36I enjoy tea.
02:38Tea.
02:38Throat coat.
02:39Gotta have it.
02:40Yes.
02:41Is it?
02:42It's like, you know, more like our Tupperware kind of vibes, you know?
02:46It's not.
02:47There's really no snacks.
02:48Our snacks are more like here.
02:50This is our snack cabinet.
02:52They're a little limited at the moment.
02:53Yeah.
02:53So on the rider, we're not a very picky band in terms of what we ask for,
02:59but we are trying to be conscious about not getting too much junk food,
03:04which makes the late night snacking moments a little bit tough
03:07because I'm like, oh, man, all we have are pita chips.
03:10So we got, let's see what we got.
03:13Pita chips.
03:14This is pretty good.
03:16We got some potato chips here.
03:18Jalapeno.
03:18Oh, that's going to be enjoyed later.
03:20We got a lot of tortilla chips and we get like salsa and guac.
03:24But sometimes I don't know how old our salsa and guac is.
03:28Got to watch out for that.
03:29You got to be mindful.
03:30Be like, what show was that again?
03:32And we got, you know, some dried fruit here.
03:36Stay stocked on nuts, which is good for, what's, what, what?
03:41It's all the things you don't want.
03:42Healthy fats.
03:42Healthy fats.
03:44It's, um, we're more of a ingredient based household rather than, you know, kind of snacks,
03:50but it does keep us sustained if we feel like we didn't get a big enough breakfast.
03:55So, right.
03:56So, um, one thing that you can't see pictured right now because we're on a busy Chicago street
04:00is the bus will slide out.
04:03Um, right here, you can, you can see clearly there's a mirror and the mirror goes kind
04:07of till here, so the bus will move all the way out and then you can have epic dance parties
04:17in the middle.
04:17It's quite nice.
04:19Moving on, little fridge area, that's where you keep your refrigerated items.
04:23We have a lot of olives because we love olives and vermouth because we love vermouth, not
04:27for martinis.
04:28Yeah, not for martinis.
04:29Um, we have old food that we probably should throw out.
04:32Yes, stuff that shouldn't be here.
04:34I don't even know what that is.
04:35Is this beer?
04:36Not much going on.
04:37I'm not a big beer guy at all.
04:39Not drinking much beer.
04:41Um, moving on.
04:42This is where we write, um, the big secrets of the tour that no one ever gets to know.
04:46We wiped them for this video.
04:48It's, it's low key more for scheduling and stuff.
04:50It's the schedule.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Yeah.
04:52It's like, all right, load in here, sound check here, show here, bus call.
04:57But they try and help us know what's going on.
04:59Oh yes, this might be interesting for the viewers.
05:01We have bus call each night.
05:02The bus normally takes off at around 3 a.m.
05:05Um, so sometimes you might be tucked in bed and you don't even know that you're moving.
05:09But, um, I have a hard time falling asleep after shows.
05:12So, honestly, like the show lands around lunchtime for me.
05:16Yeah, lunchtime.
05:18Not today though, because I woke up bright and early.
05:20Today's weird.
05:20Oh, we, we want to see bathroom.
05:22There we go.
05:24Here you got your bathroom.
05:26Look at that.
05:27Wow.
05:27That's where all the business goes down.
05:29Nope.
05:29Nope.
05:30No shits on the bus.
05:31No shits on the bus.
05:33Otherwise, people will be very angry at you.
05:36So, here you've got the bunk hall.
05:38This is where we all like to collect sleep for the, for the, the, the coming day.
05:42This is my bunk here.
05:43Zenny's a good one to display because he's a neat person.
05:45I'm not going to show my bunk right now.
05:46A lot of people's bunks are not as clean, but mine is very clean.
05:50So, this is my bunk.
05:51It squeaks at the moment.
05:53So, I'm trying to get that fixed.
05:55But other than that, I'm quite happy with my bunk.
05:57It's cool.
05:57We got like a cubby over in that corner, as you can see.
06:00And then like a little thing.
06:01Mine's on the top of my bunk.
06:04And then we have two air vents.
06:05A couple air vents.
06:06To make sure that we're staying nice and cool on the long rides.
06:09Those like the blast.
06:10Yes.
06:11It's like nice white noise, you know.
06:14And the bus rocking when it's moving.
06:16It's kind of like falling asleep on a ship.
06:18You throw all your shoes down here in the little shoe compartment.
06:21Although, low-key we don't do that because the poor...
06:23No, you don't do that.
06:23The lower bunk people might smell my smelly shoes.
06:26I do that.
06:26I put my shoes down.
06:27Sorry, Axel.
06:28Sorry, Axel.
06:29So, there does happen to be a junk bunk on this bus.
06:32It's this one.
06:33Not tonight, though.
06:34Because AC is joining us.
06:35Not tonight, because our manager Alex is here with us.
06:37And we've been giving him grief because we very much enjoyed the junk bunk since he left us at the
06:41beginning part of the tour.
06:42We were able to store a lot of stuff in here.
06:44As you can see, there's some backpacks, some paper bags.
06:47I see one of my bags in the back there.
06:49But Alex will be joining us tonight.
06:51He needs some sheets.
06:52In slumber.
06:53So, he's going to be...
06:54We're going to have to remove all our garbage from here and put it all throughout the bunk.
06:59That's not great.
07:00Now, bunk selection.
07:02As you can see, the middle bunks are most conducive to easy access.
07:06However, we, being the kind, humble young men that we are, decided to select the middle bunks for our older
07:13crew.
07:13Except for me.
07:14I have the middle bunk.
07:15Except for what?
07:16Me and Jesse were, we were, we were, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:18This is a nice story.
07:19Me and Jesse, we both wanted the last middle bunk.
07:23And we tossed his coin for it.
07:26And I was lucky enough to win.
07:27Because I got a little bit car sick.
07:28So, I was like, I was, I kind of wanted the middle bunk because it's nice.
07:32You don't get too much rocking from the top and the bottom.
07:37You hear a lot of rumbling.
07:38So, I'm a little bit of a princess in that way.
07:42We got a crew, our tour manager, our amazing stage tech, and our friend of the house.
07:47And it's fun, too, because, you know, I'll be lying in bed and I'll text, text the band group shop.
07:51You're like, hey, you guys up.
07:53One big sleepover.
07:54It's a giant sleepover every night.
07:56It's a good time.
07:56Bunk hall.
07:57And our final park.
07:59And here, the final destination, we got our back lounge.
08:05Okay.
08:05We have a band member sleeping right now.
08:07What we didn't know is that there was a band member sleeping on the bus in the bunk hall.
08:11So, that goes to show bus etiquette.
08:13Bus etiquette.
08:14It's important.
08:15You know, you want to keep the bunk hall closed and normal sleeping hours.
08:19Yes.
08:19This is typically the late night hang, you know, when people are kind of settling down, going to bed and
08:24stuff.
08:24Not much money hanging going on.
08:25We have another TV.
08:28Another TV system.
08:29PlayStation 5.
08:30Gotta have it.
08:31You got to.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:33We're gaming as much as we can.
08:34It gets a little tough with the internet.
08:35Yes.
08:36Sometimes the bus will park underneath like a tree or something and it affects the Wi-Fi.
08:41Therefore, it makes it not super easy to game.
08:44No, you don't want to.
08:44But I've been playing some NBA 2K.
08:47Have you been playing on here?
08:49A little Call of Duty going on back here.
08:50Yeah, he's got a little call.
08:51Jesse has a couple games he likes to play.
08:52Usually in the front lounge, though.
08:53There's PS5s all around.
08:55Yes.
08:55It makes a happy band.
08:57Happy band.
08:57So, I think the last few people that will go to bed, I mean, I'm up pretty late.
09:02But normally, I'll be tossing and turning in my bunk.
09:05Dan, our amazing tour photographer, will be sitting here editing photos until very, very
09:10late.
09:10So, he's kind of got the latest checkout in terms of job duty.
09:13So, he's plugging away right here.
09:15He normally has his setup and stuff.
09:17Some more pita chips, as you can tell.
09:18We are a big fan of pita chips.
09:21We love pita chips.
09:23Very nice.
09:25I guess.
09:25Oh, and then, I totally forgot.
09:28We got a little coat closet in here for all our coats.
09:32It's looking a little bit more empty than usual because we just had two off days.
09:35So, people are kind of like putting their stuff back in the bus.
09:39But, our band and crew really likes jackets.
09:43So, this thing is normally kind of overflowing a little bit.
09:45But, we keep pretty tidy in here.
09:47I think, as far as tour buses go, we're a pretty relatively neat band.
09:52Tidy band.
09:53Anyway, and our tour manager, Sarah, is really good at, like, you know, keeping things calm
09:57and settled here when we're not tidy.
10:03Well, appreciate you watching our bus tour.
10:06We're the runarounds.
10:07You can find us on all the things you can find bands on.
10:10You know, we got Spotify, we got Apple Music, Instagram, Twitter.
10:14You can join our Lelo account.
10:16Ah, that's a good one.
10:17Join the band.
10:18Get special kind of insider scoops on what we're up to and stuff.
10:23And, we're on tour right now.
10:24We just added a couple dates.
10:26So, if you happen to be in any of those cities that have been just posted, we'd love to see
10:30you there.
10:30To the game.
10:31And, keep streaming the new Arrhythmia single and chasing the good times.
