Introduction and Podcast Revival
00:00:11
Speaker
You're listening to Unmotivated and Unprepared, a podcast where we take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle to muse about life, liberty, and the pursuit of randomness. Now here's Greg and Ross. What's up, everybody? I'm Ross. And I'm Greg.
00:00:38
Speaker
And we are here. What are we here for, Greg? We got a podcast, right? We have a podcast. This is a continuation of a podcast we kind of started about two years ago that we got through six episodes and lost momentum. But, you know, based on people finding it, 140 people or so trying to find it in their, let's be honest, it was 22 people.
00:00:57
Speaker
They found our podcast, and we decided we needed to do another one, but they changed the format a little bit. Ross, fill them in on the history of how we got here. How did we even start a podcast in 2020 in the first place?
Origin Story and Early Challenges
00:01:12
Speaker
Well, we were incredibly bored during the pandemic. Greg, you and I used to work together, same company, and every morning we would
00:01:24
Speaker
we'd finish our workout and go get some breakfast. And while we're eating breakfast, we ended up just talking about completely random stuff. And the kind of start of our first podcast was you and I have some
00:01:40
Speaker
very different viewpoints on things. Not that we don't agree with them, but me being an introvert, you being an extrovert, it always seemed to have a completely different lens. And we're like, hey, that would be a good podcast. Talk about topics from our different viewpoints. And like you said, we had some...
00:01:56
Speaker
I mean, double digits. I mean, if you take my family out, it was like three people, but we had some serious listenership and kind of fizzled out because, you know, life happens. But, you know, here we are. And like, why don't we just kind of talk about some random topics and see where that takes us. Now, the name of this podcast, what's the name is unmotivated and unprepared, which
Podcast Identity and Setup
00:02:24
Speaker
I'm not sure what I think about that. I feel like I'm a fairly prepared person, Greg. Am I the unmotivated one? No, I think in general, we're just making fun of ourselves with the fact that we only had six episodes and it fizzled off. That's the whole idea. That's fair. We were unprepared for listenership, then we got some, and then we're like, nope, run for the hills.
00:02:42
Speaker
Well, I mean, quite frankly, I just don't want to have to have any advertisements. So if we keep the numbers low, it's more of an intimate setting. And I don't have to, I don't have to pitch any products. Now, you know what? We get over, we get over 300 people off to do some ads. So don't tell too many people. All right. Yeah. So here, so here we are.
00:03:01
Speaker
The topics are gonna i can't really tell you what the topics gonna be because we're just gonna kinda make it up as we go. What is the pursuit of randomness right i mean that's what it is the pursuit of random things that were existing in obviously you live in san antonio and i live in charlotte north carolina and we don't get to see each other like we used to and so this is really just a chance for us to. Record basically what we would do if we had a phone call.
00:03:24
Speaker
Mm hmm. But we're too high tech for that. Yeah. No, no, we got to I got to I got to make it more. I got to make it difficult. I got a big microphone stuck in my face. I can tell my audio is really low. Greg's is really high. So I can't make him laugh that much. Don't laugh so loud. Clipping is a real thing. It's a problem in society. Audio clipping is a bad thing. I'm seeing Greg.
00:03:44
Speaker
No one's going to get any of these jokes for us. Like they're not going to get any of them. They might. We might have some nerds listening to this. They might. They might. So, um, speaking of, speaking of nerd, self-professed nerd, no, I don't want, I don't want to lose our three viewers or listeners here. You, you just went to something fairly nerdy or nerdy early on today, didn't you?
Comic Book Convention Experience
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I went to the, I went to the comic book convention.
00:04:10
Speaker
I was looking at the Charlotte calendar of events and it showed up and it said, hey, today is the hero's convention. And I was like, well, let's spin the wheel on this 20 bucks and find out what we can do. And yeah, it was what I expected, but larger. So I'm a fan. Like, I'm not a huge comic book guy. I don't know why, because I feel like I would be.
00:04:36
Speaker
But there's something about the whole paper aspect of the comic. I've tried to read comics on my iPad or whatever tablet device I have nearby. It's just not the same as the holding the comic.
00:04:51
Speaker
Is that, are there just like stacks and stacks of comic books there? And just like, is it like vintage stuff? Is it new stuff? Or is it just, is it like the sneaker scene where it's just people obsessed with comics and collecting them? Or does it actually like they're looking for the material?
00:05:06
Speaker
So I went there on a Sunday. So you got to take that with a grain of salt in that on a Sunday, it's not necessarily going to be as packed as it might be on a Saturday. But yeah, it's stacks and stacks of comic books. State Farm was there. I thought that was exciting. State Farm getting into the comic book scene. But yeah, so it was it was a bunch of different booths, much like any conference you expect to be at. And in those booths, there was stacks of comic books in those boxes, some hanging on the sides. Definitely
00:05:36
Speaker
A lot of artwork, obviously. There was some fantasy stuff. There was a little bit of cosplay, not as much as I think there probably was yesterday. But yeah, it was an interesting event. I definitely was out of my element in the sense that I was not familiar with some of the newer comics that are out there. And of course, there was lines and lines of people waiting to get their comic book signed, et cetera. Okay, so yeah, the comic book celebs there.
00:06:04
Speaker
There were, yeah, that I knew none of. I didn't know any of them. Sure, sure. You got to be a little bit more deep into the scene. Now, you said something that's intriguing to me. You said cosplay. Now, you're laughing, I can tell. Cosplay is an absolute art form, and it's impressive to me how people can totally transform themselves. But my question is, I want to get your opinion on this.
00:06:33
Speaker
cosplay is it oh Hey, I think I would look good as this person or is it more of a like oh, I'm gonna target this person I'm gonna turn myself into that person because I always thought I've always looked at cosplay that I don't think I could pull that off quite frankly, I can't pull a lot of things off but You know these people transform themselves. I'm like you look nothing like The Hulk and then they turn themselves into that. I'm curious your thoughts on the whole cosplay thing. I
00:07:00
Speaker
Well, Ross, I think it's the same thing as what we talked about when we did our podcast about introverts and extroverts. I think that you pull off what you convince yourself to be able to. You have the confidence, you put the character on, you can do it. I have a very low humiliation threshold, so I don't think that it would matter what anybody asked me to be in. I would probably be in just about anything. However, I do think that
00:07:29
Speaker
From the cosplay that I saw, the majority of people don't look anything like the characters they're portraying. They're illusions, or hints at, or an illusion as an A, not as I. They lead two.
00:07:46
Speaker
Yeah it's an homage to this. It's kind of like fat Batman. Like you don't want to see fat Batman. I mean I'm not judging him. I'm happy that he's out there but fat Batman isn't exactly Batman from the comic books. Yeah that's fair. Now what? I've got to think about this. I'm going to ask you the question first. Who would you cosplay? If you were going to cosplay who would you be?
00:08:09
Speaker
So there's an interesting question, because I think for me, I saw some steampunk people at the event. And I can totally get down with steampunk, because it's like 1920s, 30s meets the mechanical era. Or actually, in some ways, it's like 1880s. And then they have like Art Deco, so they're getting the 1920s. Actually, I don't think they know what era they're from. They're just nuts. Yeah, you're getting way too cerebral for this. It's like nuts and bolts, man. Yeah, it's like, yeah.
00:08:38
Speaker
If you could be an automaton with a top hat, that's basically steampunk, right? I think that would be cool. I saw some fawns, that's a new thing. The goat people, I saw them. Rams horns and all. I don't think they're actually goats. I think they're rams. I think they're rams horns and yeah. But for me, I think
00:09:03
Speaker
I think it's hard because Cosplay for me, I'm not enough into the comic book world to know what character really fits who I am or who I want to portray. Your personality. Yeah. Like someone asked me like, so I'd be Rocky Horror characters for sure. Rocky Horror Picture Show, I would dress up for those shows all the time. Hang out with those weirdos. Yeah, I want to see that. I want to see that. Yeah, I could do that. But dressing up as Batman or Superman or Spider-Man, it was a lot of Spider-Man today.
00:09:33
Speaker
I don't have a kinship with those characters. So I don't think I would dress up as them because it takes an amount of investment that I'm not willing to make. Yeah. And I would argue that a lot of, uh, a lot of cosplayers are the same way. They want to relate to the character like me after a lot of deep thought in the last two minutes while trying to, of course, actively listen to you. I think I would be, um, have you seen the Pixar movie, uh, inside out? Yeah.
00:10:01
Speaker
I think I'd be Bing Bong. Hey, don't laugh. Don't laugh. Bing Bong was very loyal.
00:10:10
Speaker
Yes, very. You know me, Greg. I'm a loyal person. Very, very. And if I cried candy, people would love me. That's true. That's true. That's true. I wonder if there's ever, I'm sure it exists, somebody can Google it. I'm sure there's some probably pretty incredible Bing Bong cosplay, but enough.
00:10:32
Speaker
Dude, even if there was one Disney booth, there was one Disney booth at the Comic Con and they had turned the characters from Disney into like much more active. Remember, image comics, way more active, like straight lines and much more in your face characters really took it to a different level. Oh, I thought you're going to say like like bulked up Disney characters. Oh, they've done that. Well, everybody was like like so. Yeah, I was having this debate. I what?
00:11:01
Speaker
I'm glad that that we're in a female empowerment movement and I'm glad that we're at a point where like women and sexuality and like they can be free and be out there and whatever. Oh, yeah. But like every comic book character is the same. They're all in one one. They're in bodysuits. They're all in bodysuits and they're all proportioned in a very strange way, which makes it almost impossible for any woman to like
00:11:22
Speaker
be their character, which I feel bad for, right? I feel bad for. I mean, I guess it's to say these drag queens, right, like putting padding on your sides and stuff to make yourself have the hips if you don't have them or, you know, getting a bigger bustier if that's what you want. I said bustier, like, how old is that phrase?
00:11:37
Speaker
Wow, Greg. Yeah. They're in proportion. I feel bad because there aren't enough women characters that are there. I think Guy's same thing. Most of the Guy characters, even Spider-Man, like it's Peter Parker. As Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire was a good person to play. He's very skinny, very whatever. But then he becomes Spider-Man. He's got muscles in his suit. Yeah.
00:12:01
Speaker
I mean, they're very hard things to live up to. So cosplay is one of those things where if you feel like the character and you want to be that and you want to be who that is, you want to be fat Batman, be fat Batman, man. I have nothing to hold. If you feel cool and you get to walk around and say justice all day, I'm cool with it, man. I want to be fat Batman. I want to be fat Batman. You want to be fat Batman? Yeah. Filthy rich and fat. I love it. Yeah. That sounds great. So obviously,
00:12:28
Speaker
I was thinking about this the other day because we do at work, we'll do these brackets, college style brackets of fun stuff like candy brackets and all these other things and people get rage quit over which is better, Butterfingers or Snickers,
Communities and Niche Interests
00:12:44
Speaker
those type of things. I was thinking about this, a good category, and this is what the comics suffer by this,
00:12:49
Speaker
Passionate people bracket. In other words, people who are passionate about something. So as an example, I own a Peloton. Yes, I'm bougie. It's fine. Peloton. Peloton folks are very, very passionate about Peloton. And I'm really just saying Peloton because I'm testing out my pop screen filter right now. But to drive a point home, who's.
00:13:17
Speaker
I'm trying to think of what's the most passionate group out there. You've got like comic book fans, you've got sneaker fans, like sneaker heads are big. You've got audio files who are going to judge this recording if they ever hear it. But like I was going through the Rolodex in my head. I'm like, there's some really passionate like niche or Jeep, Jeep drop. My dad owned a Jeep Subaru drivers, right? Subaru owners are pretty, I mean, they're pretty passionate. Um, yeah, I,
00:13:44
Speaker
A lot of niche groups, right? They are. They are definitely our niche groups. And there's people who like people that are love a YouTuber and they go to that. They're just completely in love with specific YouTubers. However, I do think that when it comes to at least guy culture, there is only one thing that guys are the most passionate about that they're not part of a niche group of sports and we're not part of it. So we're like, okay, cool.
00:14:09
Speaker
I mean, I like, I love, I love live sports. Like I like going to live sports, but I can't, I can't get into like watching it on TV for too long. I don't know. I get burned out seeing the same camera angles. I like as being an introvert, you would learn this in the other one.
00:14:27
Speaker
I don't really enjoy the large crowds of people I don't know. But if I can fade into the background at a sports game, nobody cares about me. Everybody's watching this, these people on the field. Get yourself a seat by yourself on a Tuesday to appeal to a global audience. I'll say pitch. Get a seat by yourself on a Tuesday. That's, that's what Ross does. He just goes to the sporting event by himself in the, yeah, but I think, I think comic book, it was weird to see because comic book people are
00:14:55
Speaker
really passionate about comic books. And like still the hard kind of book, not just the characters, they want to know the whole story and they want you to be true to it and background and everything. And I do think it's good that the resurgence of the superhero movies has come because kind of book people are actually weighing in, as opposed to the cartoons that dominated our childhood, that they got completely wrong from stories, right? They just completely just took the characters and made up all these stories about them. So I do like that they are like they have their own audience and they have their own thing. I
00:15:23
Speaker
Not sure I'll go back to a comic book convention. I'm not sure that's really not sure. It was okay. It was that wasn't bad. Is there anybody like. Would you go with somebody because I feel like there's certain things like going solo. You're like meh. No, I look so I went and I found myself talking to people, right? Oh my gosh, that sounds exhausting. Yeah, I just I well, I ended up buying one comic book and the guy goes like this. He says, hey, man.
00:15:52
Speaker
He's like, hey, dude. He's like, hey, so having a good show? I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's fine. He goes, hey, can I talk to you about my comic book? I'm like, yeah, sure. He goes, he said, The Punisher meets Rocky Horror Picture Show. And I went, sold. How much is your comic book?
00:16:06
Speaker
Nice. So then you're like, so he got you on the pitch. He probably never read it to you. I'll probably never read it, but the fact that it's Punisher versus Rocky Horror Picture Show. And then there was another guy that was way cool. Like this dude was the absolute passionate, like weird guy. And he wanted to sell his art deco game with bird because the bird city it's okay. It's a crime game with cards.
00:16:41
Speaker
Well, I'll find it. I'll figure out what the name of it is. But it's about something about the crowbar, right? It's about the crowbar as in like the joke of play on word that there's crows and the bar. And it's like, yeah, it's an investigation game. But what was great about it is this guy was like our deco and he's excited about it. He's wearing suspenders with khaki pants, which I thought was a strange look because they were like denim khaki pants. But like he was way excited about his material, spent like years doing it. He had his prototype out there.
00:16:56
Speaker
You just told all our listeners his sales are going to blow up. Keep going.
00:17:05
Speaker
And I was like, wow, way to go, man. I'll buy your card game because you're so impassioned. And I do think going to shows like that's awesome because you do get to meet all these really interesting people and find out really interesting things.
00:17:18
Speaker
All right, so for our listeners, obviously we've
Creative Sound Effects and Humor
00:17:22
Speaker
mentioned this. Greg is the extrovert of the bunch. And I got this little app here, and it actually allows me to have sound effects, which is really cool. And Greg doesn't know this, everyone, but I made a sound effect right before he joined.
00:17:39
Speaker
for things such as, oh, I went to a comic book convention. I just like, I enjoyed meeting a bunch of people and just chatting it up with people. And to that I say, that's so Greg. You're such a dork. Exactly. I am. I would record, I would record a clip of that's so Greg.
00:18:08
Speaker
I'm definitely not going to strike up a conversation with a random person at a comic book convention. Not saying I'm not just like everybody there, just not my thing. Well, I thought to myself, Ross, I was like, either I have a face that just looks like I'm crying for help, someone please talk to me, or I just have a really friendly face that looks like it's easy and he won't reject me. I'm not sure which one it is. I'm not sure which one it is.
00:18:33
Speaker
I like it. I have a cry for help face. Please talk to me, please. It's like an RBF, but it's a crying help face. That's a new one.
00:18:43
Speaker
It's got a CHF. What's that? It's a crying help face. Can someone help me? Yeah, so that was how it felt. Yeah, it was interesting. It was interesting to walk around. And it starts to look all the same. And you also realize that there are such niches, even within the comic book community. There were Star Wars people. There were people that were strictly Marvel people. There were people that were really big DC people. And it was just interesting to see the dynamics.
00:19:11
Speaker
and see the art and see the artists there with their wares and what they sell and so on and so forth, anime, people really big into anime. So you forget that those kind of outlets still exist, those outlets exist for people. And it's great. It's awesome that they do. And I think
00:19:26
Speaker
That's one of the things, as we talk about life, liberty, and the pursuit of randomness, I think encouraging the few people that might listen to this to go out to something that they may not ever do, that they would never have thought of doing. Hence the reason, like, hey, kind of book convention. Yeah, let's go do that today. Good preparation for the podcast with Ross.
00:19:44
Speaker
Yeah, let's hit that up. That'll be good material. We'll see based off of the reviews. 2.3 stars. He made fun of my game about crows and bars. No, he said it was good. He bought the thing. Yeah, I got it signed. It was great. Oh, sweet.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, and I think there's always this element with comic books and superheroes. Everybody wants to, it's this dream of having a superpower. Have we talked about superpowers, Greg? No, no, we've never talked about superpowers. Everybody talks about what superpower would you want. But I like to flip the script and say, what's the lamest superpower you could have?
00:20:27
Speaker
And I think like I was I was thinking I was thinking about this somebody's asking about superpowers now What's that? What's a lame superpower and I would like to be able to? lift really heavy objects But very very slowly so it would take
00:20:46
Speaker
Like so I could lift like a house, but it would take like months. So I'd be like, well, that's super lame. Exactly. Lift things very slowly. That's my, that's my lame superpower. Cause everybody's like, Oh yeah. I'd like to be able to move things. I'm like, yeah, move them slowly. Yeah. I think that's the same. That's probably the same as entertain people for hours with dad jokes. I think that's, that's, that's, that's pro there's someone out there with that superpower. Like that's not the, I don't think that's a good one, but I think that's probably dad's everywhere. Like, Oh, I've got that one.
00:21:14
Speaker
I can, I can entertain for hours. No waiter is ever safe for the dad show. You think you can entertain for hours. You just think that. So that's a, that's a super power one. So if you think of any other good lame superpowers, please let me know. Please, please do. Yeah. So yeah, I,
00:21:32
Speaker
So you hit up this, you hit up this convention and now is it a, was it just like walking distance? Did you, did you Uber there? Did you like Uber with someone dressed up as Daredevil?
Engaging Conversations and Music
00:21:45
Speaker
No, no, no. I dressed up with a guy that was having an argument with his wife about fans, something about taking fans and they needed to get more fans. And so the whole old eight minutes was this guy just talking to his wife about getting fans.
00:21:58
Speaker
He's getting fans. The driver was? The driver was. I didn't get to talk to him at all. He picked me up, didn't even say anything. Just like stopped. That's the best Uber ride ever. For you. So you talk to your, you talk to your ride share drivers? Yep. Talk to him all the time. And on the way back, I had an actor. Apparently he was an angels and demons and he was a contract player and they liked his look. And so yeah, he was way excited about telling us about his, his acting job.
00:22:23
Speaker
So how do you get that? How do you, for, for the uninformed, like myself, who hopes that their ride share driver does not speak to them. How do you get a vibe check on whether or not they're into the conversation? I know it's like, Oh, they say a couple of words. They talked. Do you just like, just go and just, just all in, just slide off. You just slide all the chips in and be like, Hey,
00:22:48
Speaker
Yeah. You just go, hey, how's your day, man? How's things going? Or sometimes I try to pick something. I just had this guy the other day. But a couple weeks ago, I had an Uber driver. Guy was from Liberia. And he was listening to Joe Boy on the radio. And so I talked to him about Nigerian music, because this is an Nigerian artist. So I was like, cool. We'll talk about Nigerian music. Who do you like in Nigerian music? Who else are you into? And I threw out some different stuff and told him I like Kenyan music and how I'm into Digiboy and all that stuff coming out of Kenya.
00:23:17
Speaker
So you have quite the you've got quite the musical the musical taste. That's usually where I go. Because it's very eclectic. You can relate you know most because you were you were in the music biz. Yeah, I was I was I was DJ and all that stuff. But yeah, like that's the same thing. I remember being in in in Boston, my one of my favorite stories was I think and we may have talked about this on extra intro to extra but but you know that the guy was riding with
00:23:45
Speaker
he was a vendor, he had never heard of like bachata music and I was talking to a Dominican driver and so we're talking about bachata and so like I played bachata music in the car and the guy thought that was cool, we were listening to bachata music and then my friend ever heard bachata music and so like so like my point is like yeah music's an easier angle but I can pick anything I mean what a month ago coming back from the airport I had the French guy and we couldn't speak English
00:24:09
Speaker
Like I couldn't speak that much French and he couldn't speak that much English, but he talked to me about swingers clubs for the 15 minute drive home from the airport. And we talked about it in very little French and very little English. We were able to say Jean-Fi and like swingers club and like that was about it. And like pretty lady, like that was pretty much it. Like that's pretty much he told me about going to clubs and meeting women. And that was it for 15 minutes and very broken English and very broken French.
00:24:34
Speaker
I thought you were going to say like y'all could only communicate via lyrics from popular songs of the 2000s and you were going to be like, I want it that way. You know, pointed like to where he wanted to go because he couldn't, like I thought that's what you, I thought that's what anger you're going to have. But he went swingers clubs. I'm like, all right, well, this is probably more interesting than where I thought he was going to take it. So yeah, it was, it was a, it was one of the strangest Uber rides I've ever, I mean, I had a great time, but like, it was just a strange thing. He's like, I have French.
00:25:00
Speaker
And I was like, that's cool. Like, um, I like said my little bit that I knew in French and he was like, Oh, Francais. I was like, uh, no.
00:25:10
Speaker
I was just about to ask you, Greg, where'd you pick up French? I did not know about it. I only know a little bit of French. I took three years of high school, but like I know only just enough. You don't learn anything. No, no, you learn how to pass tests. No offense to my high school German teacher. I learned nothing in there. I learned how to say I don't know in German. I felt like that was that was probably a good place. My name is Taza. Oh, yeah. Here he goes. He's showing off.
00:25:48
Speaker
You said I have. I said, I'm not going to bust out my Rosetta stone. All right. Try again. Oh man. So, so yeah, I was, and, and to get a little meta here, you know, you meant, you know, did a little music dabbling in music and got this eclectic taste. Now I tried to get you to do our,
00:26:01
Speaker
Tell me you know multiple languages without telling me no
00:26:17
Speaker
to do our intro. I'm like, Hey, you want to dust off the old, the old producer tools, you know, pro tools, whatever it is, and produce our music. You're like, no, I got some, uh, got some royalty free tracks. And then you send me this one that everybody's heard this spicy little number called happy hour. And then you've gotten my nasally coming off a sinus infection, boys swooping in.
00:26:44
Speaker
Right. But it's fantastic. That is the most contrasting intro ever. And I'm like, but you know what? This absolutely works for what we're doing here. I was going to rerecord it, Greg. And I'm like, you know what? It's like seven 30 on a Saturday morning. I'm tired. Yeah. Ship it.
00:27:07
Speaker
Yeah, it was fantastic. It made me laugh for the whole day. It made me laugh. I even sent it to somebody to listen to. They couldn't open the file, but I wanted to see what their opinion was. Really? Wait, wait, wait. You said you're hyping up the podcast with the intro music. Oh, don't give me any reason to hype anything, man. That's the reason I need something to hype, man. That's actually why I got out of music. Ultimately, why I got out of music was I wasn't really that good at it. I mean, I was okay at it, but it was much better of a hype man than I was
00:27:34
Speaker
at like making it. My stuff is okay, but it was because I was making it for other people. And so I could sell them. And so it was always exciting to sell them. When I lost them as artists, I didn't want to go make new artists. And so I was like, I have nothing to sell. Then this came along and I'm like, Oh, I got this to sell. Let's tell you about this.
00:27:51
Speaker
Greg's all posted on LinkedIn. Check out all my stuff and send it. We have not put this on LinkedIn. We should put it on LinkedIn, but we're not going to put it on LinkedIn. I've never listened to any of our episodes of our podcast. Literally edited it and sent it over to you. They're fantastic. They're so good. They're so fun. Everybody likes them. If I give them to someone, they absolutely adore them.
00:28:13
Speaker
Most of the times they're like, I like the ones where Greg talks more. What? No, that's not what they say. Yeah. Cause you got that, you got that dynamicism. It's like that. Yes. You're the, you're the spicy intro track. I'm like, but you're the funny one. So like it works out for us, for us, you know? I do. I do laugh every time I look at myself in the mirror. No, not like that. Ross pretty funny.
00:28:42
Speaker
So we got to, we're going to have to like, we're, you know, people are, people are finishing up their commute. Now they're, they've switched off by now. I mean, props. If you made it through the first five minutes, Ross, let's be honest, they never got through the first five minutes. They were like, no, those guys are unmotivated and unprepared. They were not ready for this. If they fast forwarded this part, we're going to have to talk. We're going to have to talk some more. I want to hear more about your music stuff. Cause I feel like you've got like, feel like you've got some fun stuff there at some point in time. And then I also wanted to talk to you about like,
00:29:12
Speaker
So I was talking to somebody about bucket list items. And I've got a pretty low bar for bucket list items, which I think is perfectly fine. But I know you've traveled places. You've seen stuff. You've done some really cool stuff. So I want to add some bucket list items to my list that I didn't know I needed to add to them.
00:29:36
Speaker
you know we're going to meet up with you for a trip later this year which is going to be fantastic for reference material as well for this podcast. But I need to pick your brain on some bucket list item because I feel like there's some things that I need to
00:29:51
Speaker
I need to do and put on my list that you've probably done. You're like, oh, no. Worth it or not worth it. So we're going to have to put a pin in that and do that. All right. Well, Greg, thanks for joining me on this fine afternoon after your comic book. I figured it'd be nose deep in a new comic book about some person that got a really lame superpower or something. But you said, hey, I'm ready. Let's do this thing. So appreciate that.
00:30:19
Speaker
Absolutely. Thanks for thanks for doing this. Welcome back to it. Hopefully we get further than six episodes this time on unmotivated unprepared. Oh, heck yeah, we're gonna go to seven. Oh, wow. Just pushing the envelopes. No, no, no, it's like, see, I'm gonna go on. It's like TV series. See, we could go on to a whole nother topic. TV series why they only have limited runs now, which I'm kind of honestly okay with. Because I got a lot of shows that I think have jumped the shark and my wife's rolling her eyes upstairs when she hears me say that. So
00:30:47
Speaker
All right. Well, thank you everybody who've made it through here and bye everybody. Thanks for listening to unmotivated and unprepared. Join us again next time as we continue to meander through random topics at a pace defined by our mood, the weather, and what happened five minutes earlier.
