Tonight we face our most daunting challenge yet: our are wets wet enough to out-wet the wet-loving Ian Horner? One the one hand, he's known for an adventurous palate and a willingness to like unexpected things (see also: Dump Trucks of years past).
On the other hand, Graham made Thicc Tang.
Watch the VOD to find out if Ian succumbed to the Wets!
Even when there's a lot going on - perhaps especially when there's a lot going on, it's important to make time to show love for your bey...blade. And that's exactly what we're gonna do to celebrate just having reached the $11,000,000 lifetime total raised for Desert Bus!
Let's get rippin'!
Beys of the Day:
- Logan v Julie (in Matt "Cat Enthusiast" Wiggins Memorial Stadium)
- Rachel v Max (in The Litterbox)
- Ian v Logan (in The Litterbox)
I thought this was supposed to be a bus, but y'all just keep on TRUCKING! Trucking all the way to $11,000,000 lifetime total raised in the history of Desert Bus!
We've been running Desert Bus for 18 years, and every single year brings new milestones that can only be described as humbling. No, on second thought, there are other ways to describe them: jaw-dropping. MIND-BLOWING! It is our honor, our pleasure, and our absolute WHAAAAA-face to be part of a community that together has been able to raise $11,000,000 for the children.
$11,000,000.
$11,000,000.
You all just bussed all the way up to $11,000,000 in lifetime donations! WHAT?! You're wild! Monstrous! Outta control!
Oh, and just in case we didn't make it clear: THANK YOU!
Did you know that if you watch enough Night Watch, the future will come true? Just like the Simpsons! That's what the Simpsons are famous for, right?
You can shape the future for yourself, too, at least insofar as you can make cool art and maybe get a free t-shirt out of it. A really cool t-shirt! Inspired by our nightly couch gags, we want you to draw our Night Watch members as Simpsons versions of themselves.
Send your art (in .PNG, .JPG, or .GIF format) to contests@desertbus.org with the subject line " Night Watch Simpsona " before 10:30pm PT. We'll pick one favorite to win a free shirt!
Here on Night Watch, we are absolutely committed to raising money for the children and absolutely careless about our handling of the bus. For the second night in a row, we took the wheel only to drive it top speed off the road. But that won't stop us from getting up to antics as long as it raises money for the children!
Speaking of which, we've just passed a road sign that says we're nearing that $11 million lifetime total. Will this be the shift where we hit that goal? Perhaps we can interest you in these fine prizes to help us all get there together!

Desert Bus for Hope would like to thank sponsor Bateman Labs for their prize donation of their Envy Gaming Chair and accompanying accessories. Bateman Labs was founded by brothers Sawyer and Andrew who set out to build a desk designed for computers. Their first product, a lap desk for the Ikea POÄNG chair was a hit, which inspired them to create the Envy Armchair and its many accessories. Thank you Bateman Labs for the best seat in the house.
