00:00ah, buongiorno! Johnny from Carcosa, come on inside, come check it out! We are Carcosa,
00:20you might have seen us before, we did this, oh what was it, two years ago now? A year and a half,
00:24something like that. We were in a van, so this is an upgrade, and we'll get into the wonderful
00:30upgrades that this beautiful RV has in store for us. We are on tour right now with Alluvial,
00:36Aborted, and Heartspire. We're having a blast, we're here in Chicago, just ripping it up,
00:40having a good time, and we're going to get into the guts of this vehicle. All right, so on this
00:45tour we have our good friend Sam behind the wheel over here, he also takes pictures of us and makes
00:50us look cool when he gets enough sleep and is able to do that as well, we appreciate it,
00:55but he's mostly up here pretty much all the time when he's driving, and then when we play the show
00:59if it's a long drive, he hops up here to go to sleep and snuggles up with Duber, and yeah,
01:04that's kind of all that's really going on up here. At the moment, these are the only working
01:08outlets in the RV, which I'm sure we'll talk about soon, so they're treated nice with the only
01:14working AC and power up here, which is cool for them. All right, so usually when I'm driving,
01:19I'd like to listen to albums just because I feel like it helps pass the time a little bit better.
01:24Lately, Noacon's been a big one for me, but once we're up here, we have a lot of shared power,
01:32you know, we have one long USB-C lightning cable, we have a couple of USB ports, and
01:37for some reason we haven't invested in one of these cigarette light holding
01:41charging parts, but we'll get there eventually, hopefully, I hope. So we have the illustrious
01:48and wonderful Duber here with us drumming on this tour. You might remember him from the last
01:55time we did this. Yeah, so some of you awesome fans and followers of mine might recognize me
02:01from the last episode where I look like this. I don't anymore. I'm awake now.
02:09That's an upgrade for me. All right, so this is where I sleep.
02:12There's no sheets because I'm a man. I don't need them.
02:20I sleep back here mainly because this comes off and I'm a rather large man, so I get nervous that
02:27this is going to bend down because anxiety. So I sleep back here, but little did I realize,
02:33or little did I know, this actually like hangs over the driver, so like for some reason if we
02:41like, like if Sam's just doing his thing and like hits a bridge or something, I like, I'm the first
02:46to go. So that's really cool, but it's nice, you know, the little prison mattresses reminds me of
02:53my time in Corcoran State Prison. Really good times. No sheets again because like I said,
02:59I fear nothing, and yeah, every day been waking up in a pool of my own sweat, which is awesome.
03:05I love that because this doesn't work, so that's cool, and yeah, basically everything's fucked.
03:13All right, so in addition to Sam and Duper sleeping up here, we have a few other places
03:17where the rest of us sleep. Cooper, our other guitarist, is sleeping here. He's not with us
03:21right now because he's doing merch, making us money. Thank you, Cooper. But this basically is
03:25a table where we all kind of sit during the day, maybe go on our laptops or game or whatever,
03:30and then at night you can lift this up and fold this out so it makes a nice little bed.
03:35He's the only person that doesn't have to share a bed with anyone, but it comes at the cost of not
03:39being able to go to sleep until we all decide to fuck off, so pros and cons. Then we got cabinets
03:44for everybody, so I believe these two or this one is Sam's right here because, you know, he's right
03:49there. Then we got Cooper over here, and then Duper over here. You should mention the mood lights that
03:58Oh yeah, I'll get to that. And then we tried to, you know, give some decorations with this
04:05LED strip here, but as we kind of mentioned, there's no working power, so it's now taped here
04:10for no reason, but maybe one day it'll work. And that's kind of it for this area. So this is our
04:16kitchen area, and while we really value electricity when it works because all of these things are so
04:23awesome when they work. So I always tour with a kettle now. I love having a kettle on the road
04:30because I always tour also with a French press. So I got some ground coffee. I would heat that
04:39bad boy up if it worked, and then I would drink coffee if I could, but I can't. This is a Keurig
04:44that Baina brought from home. Puts his little Keurig pods in there. Once again, he can't have
04:49any of that, so that's cool. I'm way too lazy to do three different appliances for coffee. This does
04:54it in one. Well, when it works, it does it in one press of a button, and I'm a lazy man, so that's
04:58better for me. I'm a coffee snob, so I'm particular. I grabbed this little toaster because I like
05:04having bagels and cream cheese in the morning. Once again, can't have those. We would use this toaster
05:10for multiple things, eating bagels and then maybe throwing it in the sink, but you know, it's not
05:15really going to do much right now. Not the desired effect anyways. Cooper brought his air fryer with
05:21him, which is honestly great. In other bands that I've toured with, we've also brought an air fryer,
05:26and it's actually awesome. It's so much better usually than this because this will really heat
05:32up and get hot in here. This is a little bit more in a different area, so it doesn't spread around
05:37and make everyone hot as hell. Once again, it doesn't matter. What usually gets the most work
05:44is the microwave. Something that also sucks about being in a moving vehicle is these plates can
05:50just fly out and explode, so keeping the microwave closed at all times and hopefully on its little
05:56wheels keeps that from happening. I don't think you put it on the wheels. It doesn't matter. Okay.
06:01It doesn't need to be. I just, you know, don't lead by example, right? So yeah, microwave is great once
06:07again when it works. Up here is just random stuff for the most part. We have a lot of paper plates.
06:13We do have a sink, which means we could use it, but we can't, so paper plates is always good.
06:18Instead of having to wash dishes, you just toss them like a frisbee. We've got some solo cups
06:23that I've never seen anyone use. I have my coffee up here. Not very illustrious. It's just Starbucks
06:29breakfast blend, but it's honestly pretty good. So this has been a stupid little coffee cup.
06:38It's cool. It's fine. He's got his Keurig cups up here, and then I have this illustrious coffee mug.
06:44I don't know if you can read that, but it says Buck Ease, and it's Latin for heaven, I think.
06:50I don't really know. Bain has his little coffee cups for the coffee that he can't make.
06:55Paper towel, which is probably the most used item in here, honestly, because you won't believe it,
07:03but we did just clean up before this, and it didn't look like this. And then over here,
07:09we have, I guess, the only thing that's left that's still important, which is the fridge
07:14and freezer, which for some reason still work. I guess they're run on propane and not electricity.
07:18Hell yeah. So we pretty much only have beer and water and stuff that we thought we were going to
07:26eat, or mostly John, I thought he was going to eat when the other appliances worked. So those
07:30remnants are still in there, like cream cheese, as he very lovingly mentioned earlier.
07:35But yeah, for those who are just beer and water, we just take that from the venue at the end of
07:40every night. And Captain Morgan. And Captain Morgan. So as Bain had mentioned, there is
07:44mostly beer in here. Our rider is only beer, so we just get 24 packs of beer a night, and
07:50we just can't keep up, so it's just always full. But we're Canadian boys, and I love my Canadian
07:56beer. It's actually French, but it's only pretty much sold in Canada. I stockpiled these because I
08:01love drinking them, and they aren't sold in America. So when we go back into Canada, I'm
08:06going to get like 42 more of them, and then the fridge will only be Kronenberg Blancs.
08:10As God intended.
08:11Just as he intended. So we're looking good there. I also just want to note that our
08:16driver, Sam, bought Lunchables. I don't know, it might be unbeknownst to him, but everything in
08:21here is frozen. So the ham will be like ham discs, the cheese will be cheese discs, and
08:26I'm really excited for him to enjoy that frozen treat. In the freezer, you might think we're 12,
08:33but we're actually in our 30s, but it's only pizza products. And different kinds too. Not
08:39even just like one kind. We got fucking like whatever this is. Okay, some Giuseppe stuff.
08:45There's going to be some Canadian things in here, so sorry Americans that don't know what's going on.
08:50Bagel Bites, they're making a comeback. So this is both Cooper's things.
08:53You're keeping them, or Cooper's keeping them in business.
08:55Yeah, Cooper is keeping Bagel Bites and Giuseppe in business. Good for him.
09:00Then we got some just straight up three cheese pizza pops, which, okay, so these are pizza
09:07pockets. These are McCain's. I don't think, oh no, they do sell them in the US. These,
09:11in my opinion, are far more superior than these. These are quality, it's got quality ingredients,
09:17the shape is fun to eat, and I'm just having a good time when I eat them. And then, I don't know,
09:21this is some other shit that Cooper had. It's been in there the whole time. If the RV ever works
09:27again, maybe we'll eat this stuff. We have pizza for a fucking week apparently. It's just going to
09:31turn into fossilized pizza rocks. We could throw all of those products in one thing and it would
09:36be like the same. Yeah, and that's the kitchen. Yeah, pizza and beer. Oh shit, we should talk
09:40about the merit board. Cooper, you should talk about it. I'll swap. Yeah, okay. So, this is the
09:48merit and demerit board and also the info for the show that we all have on our phones, but I just
09:55like to feel like I'm doing something every day and I write it down. We have the quote of the day,
10:00which today's quote is, this RV can eat me from the back, from me. We're playing in Detroit
10:07tomorrow. Don't get shot, smiley face. And then, just general info. We play at 7 50. It's
10:13going to be great, good time. Anyways, the merits and demerits. If you do something rad, you get a
10:20fucking merit. If you suck, you get a demerit. Can you provide an example? For example,
10:27Andrew Baina, internet superstar, it says right here. World's best guy ever, right?
10:34Where's he going? Left the laptop at the venue the other night.
10:40What does that get? Demerit. It gets a demerit right there. That's why he has that.
10:47Example of a merit. Sam has the most. Sam has the most. Okay, so Sam at first had a lot of demerits,
10:54but then he... What did Sam do? What did Sam do? He fixed the luggage bay thing. Oh yeah. He
11:01literally lock picked. Okay. Another prime example of a demerit is Andrew Baina, internet superstar,
11:08broke the key to our luggage bay in the slot. And our lovely driver, Sam,
11:16got the key out. So he got all of his demerits removed, because this is a democracy. And
11:24he then got them replaced with merits. So there's that. I only have one demerit,
11:28because I'm fucking awesome, and I don't fuck up ever. Johnny's got one demerit,
11:34because Johnny's awesome. He's lacking in the merits though, but he doesn't really do anything
11:38bad. He just kind of... I'm just here, man. I don't know. I just work here. Cooper should have
11:45more demerits, but he doesn't. I love Cooper's nickname as well. Yeah, Cooper's nickname.
11:53Everybody has a nickname. Johnny is pasta, because he's Italian. Carcosa's drummer's name's
11:58Travis. You met him in the last episode. I'm filling in for him. So my name is thus Fat Trav.
12:05Baina is internet guy, because internet guy. Cooper is Cooper. And Sam just doesn't get a
12:11nickname. Sam. Sam. He's Sam. I'd also like to state for the record, we didn't give Duber that
12:16nickname. He gave that nickname to himself. Yeah, that is mine. That is mine. Okay. I'm fat. I can
12:21make fun of myself. Okay. That's my pass. Also, side note, while you're over here, all of this,
12:29you know that stuff they were talking about that didn't work? This is it. So if you do this...
12:35Watch it work this time. Crazy. It doesn't work. Yeah. Water, all that fun stuff. And yeah, that's
12:44a day in the life of fucking super awesome superstars. This is where the magic happens.
12:51Whoa. Check it out. I actually don't know what size of this bed. What is the size of the bed?
12:57It's a double. Okay. So it's double the fun, because it's me and Andrew. We get to sleep
13:02butt to butt back here. Absolute blast. Especially when there's no AC. That means him and I are just
13:08hot buddy boys hanging out. This morning, that pillow over there, it's gray. This morning,
13:13it was dark gray, because my neck was sweating profusely. I also drool. This is a new thing in
13:19my life. So there was drool and sweat just coated all over the place. So I woke up in a frantic
13:25fright, because this is like hell. Yeah. So this is Baina's bed. It's very nice. It's got dirt all
13:32over it or some shit. He also has an Arctic tundra sleeping bag. It's an Arctic tiger theme,
13:39actually. Tiger? Look, it's tiger stripes. No, but the sleeping bag is like- Oh, yeah. Well,
13:44here's my plan, right? So we started out in Canada, and it was actually pretty cold still,
13:49as Duber would attest, in May, June. It was fucking freezing. Thank you. Don't listen to him.
13:54Anyway, so it was cold for some of the days. So I was like, okay, I have a sleeping bag,
13:57sure if it's cold, so I sleep inside of this. And then when it's hot, like right now,
14:01I sleep on top of it. And I have my little Arctic tiger sheep thing that I just throw on top
14:06instead. So I have both bases covered. Unlike him, whose pillow turns black because he sweats so
14:11much. So who's the idiot now? I mean, if you look at me, I'm a human sweater. So whether it's cold,
14:17whether it's hot, I'm sweating no matter what. There's also actually no outlets back here
14:22either. So Baina and I, when we need to charge our stuff, we have portable chargers, which have
14:27become essential now because nothing in here works. We do have some pretty cool lights back
14:33here that I just love them so much. Yeah, you turn these on if you want to blind yourself at night
14:39for no reason. Since the AC doesn't work, I have been cracking this window open. It's currently
14:46cracked. And that's quite literally been saving my life, I got to say. So yeah, why, like I said,
14:53this is where the magic happens and it's a beautiful thing. Other than that, same thing,
14:58just cupboards. So Johnny has two cupboards. I don't know why he gets two and I get one,
15:02but whatever, I guess. He has a lot of food. I just only bought beer and energy drinks,
15:08so that's fine. And then mine is this guy. I'm paying to fit my purse there, very important.
15:14And then we got MacBook and Steam Deck for entertainment and headphones and extra clothes
15:20and batteries, I guess now. And that's kind of all that's going on back here. We closed this
15:26when we wanted to not see that anymore because Cooper stays up a lot later than we do usually.
15:31So this is our bathroom. It is really nice to be able to pee this time. That's great,
15:36especially for me. But the first thing we did was we got this lovely hang in there poster.
15:40We felt like Johnny really needed it, especially. And now it's an everybody thing, not just me.
15:47And I love this. Also, Sweetwater sent us a snare case for Duber along with the stickers,
15:52so we stuck that on there. Thank you, Sweetwater. Very small little sink thing going on here.
15:57Nobody seems to use it except for me. I don't know why. But I also have an apothecary of everything I
16:03need here. Again, I don't know why nobody uses this except for me. I love it. So that's my
16:08toothbrush, toothpaste, et cetera. And the bathroom in here has a really small shower,
16:13which works but is only cold water. But it's better than nothing. And now that it's hot,
16:18it's actually way better than nothing. And then, yeah, you can go pee in here.
16:22And we got a bunch of towels because there's five of us in here. And that's kind of it.
16:26There's actually... So there's a bag down there. So that bag gets used in case of emergencies.
16:33And that emergency is hot bagging. If you don't know what hot bagging is, usually it's a pretty
16:40bad idea or it's more of a courtesy thing. You don't take hot shits just straight up in that
16:45toilet because our poor driver or whoever has to clean out the tank has to also clean out
16:51someone's poo. So just to cut that out entirely, you put a garbage bag in there, you take a
16:58fast steamer, and then usually the triple bag method is what Duber does. And I think it's
17:04fantastic. Hold on, hold on. I don't do it. I don't like, oh, I got to poop. Where's the RV?
17:11Yes, but have you done it before? Yeah, I have. You taught us about... I know of the method
17:17because of him. I taught you guys because I've been touring for fucking my whole life. That's
17:21true. Anyways, it is a good thing to have because sometimes there's an emergency and you got a blast
17:26and on tour, you just don't always eat super healthy and your stomach will punish you for it.
17:32And if you come prepared with bags to toss in that little children's toilet, then you're set.
17:38Prime example is when it's 5 a.m. and you're waking up and your driver's leaving, loves,
17:45and you go with a little walkie talkie because you're in a bandwagon, you go, hey,
17:49insert name here, can you stop? And he goes, I can't hear you. And then you go, oh no,
17:55what do I do? And then you hop back. You have to. And then you sit there for like 30 minutes
18:02because you're stuck in traffic with poop hanging out the window and you're like, I don't know when
18:05to let go of this because I don't want to get a ticket. But then you go, ah, I don't care. Not my
18:11band. Thanks so much for taking another Digital Tour Bus episode with us. This is a, well, sort
18:20of big upgrade for us, but regardless, we like showing you around. We're on tour right now with
18:24our expired boarded alluvial, but this is going to come out after that. So instead of coming to
18:27that tour, go check us out. We're on Instagram, Facebook, everywhere else. It's just at carcosabc
18:32or carcosabc.com for all new music, merch, and whatnot. And yeah, that's kind of it, I think.
18:39Thanks for having us again.
