00:45we cook with microwaves. Pretty cool stuff. We have a blast. We have paper towels. You
00:53know what we need those for, you know? Anyway, yeah, let's keep going. Say hello to Alex.
00:59I'm going. Say hello to David. And this is Kat over here doing a lot of work. And just
01:06having a blast. We just got here in Chicago. We're coming from New York. And here we have
01:10your cups. We have cups. We need that. What else do we have? We have our coffee, some teas
01:17over here. What else do we have? Don't open that one. Don't open that one. Don't open that
01:22one. Do not open that one. Oh my God. Pretzels. And Fritos. Our favorite. What else do we
01:31have? We have peanuts, Nutella, healthy stuff, and so on and so forth. As you can tell, we
01:38try to eat right, but sometimes we can't. Long drives, a lot of time available. This is
01:44very important for those of you that have never been on a tour bus. This is a very important
01:48feature right here. Number one, yes. Number two, never. For a lot of reasons. So, and here
01:57we go. Say hello to this. Howdy. Listen to the man. And here we go. We continue. We got
02:04a nice fridge over here, nicely stocked with drinks, et cetera, et cetera. It's pretty comfortable,
02:10you know, considering that we're moving so much and we're covering a lot of miles. On
02:16the bulletin board, we pretty much have the set list. As you can tell, the Daisies, we're
02:20going to, it's the first song, Take Time, Evil, Washington, Fly, Lock and Load, Miles in
02:25front of me, and Helter Skelter. That's how we close the show. And it's a great set, man.
02:30It's very powerful. In your face, rock and roll. We have our dailies here. And then it gives you
02:37a plan of what's happening after the show, so we, everybody kind of knows what's going
02:41on. What's happening after the show? Say hello to Richard. Hello. Hello. We are driving
02:45to Indianapolis, I believe. Yes. And so, I guess the hotel info, three hour drive, et cetera,
02:52et cetera. We usually get off stage, clean up a little bit and go do some signing, but today
02:57it's raining. It's going to be a wet one, so we still don't know. Nevertheless, we hit catering.
03:03We have a little dinner, and then we hit the road for three hours, essentially. Now we
03:08have bunks over here, and we have the fattest singer on the planet right here, Mr. John
03:13Steven. Say hello to John. How you going? The Dead Daisies right here, man. Yeah. Killing
03:19it. We are killing it. We have, this is our second week actually. We're going to finish
03:24up in the West Coast in LA, San Diego, Phoenix. Looking forward to that one. DeadDaisies.com.
03:30Check out the, there's some free downloads and a lot of stuff going on, so. Yeah. This
03:35is where we sleep, brother. So we sleep. Bunks. Action Jackson here. Broken leg. Broken
03:43thumbs down the middle here. Came over from Australia to America. Straight out of hospital.
03:50Got out of hospital at 8am. Was on a 1 o'clock flight, Sydney to New York, 22 hours later.
03:55It's like, damn. It's been a tough couple of weeks, but it's been a lot of fun performing
04:00for all the crowds and playing in America for the very first time with the Dead Daisies.
04:05What a, what a blast it's been. And I should be good by the end of it. I mean physically.
04:10I'm sitting in my dance steps. Having a blast, man. Kicking it. Mr. Man over here. Over here.
04:16And then, uh, in addition to, some of the buses don't carry this feature, just a shower for
04:23those of you that, uh, for those of us that would decide to take a shower after. Usually
04:27we have a hotel room, so we go there and clean up. We have another bathroom here, again.
04:32Pretty comfortable, as you can tell. Number one, yes. Number two, never. You get in trouble.
04:38And then there's a back lounge. This is where some of the quiet folks come out and hang and
04:43sometimes don't sob, have a drink, have a talk and, uh, read and all that stuff. So it's
04:49comfortable, as you can tell. There's another flat screen. There's all, uh, the audio stuff
04:54that you can imagine. It's having a blast. We're having a blast, you know. It's, uh, they
04:59try to make it as comfortable as they can for us to be on the road. Some of us have been on the
05:03road for a long, long time and, uh, it's part of our life, you know. It's pretty cool.
05:08And then we get to do the best thing, the best job in the world, right? Playing music for
05:12a living. It's like, wow. So, yeah, bus invaders, you are the guys, right? Thank you so much
