cashless

Tokyo Cheapo Co-founder Greg Lane joins the boys to talk about a new Harry Potter theme park plus unmanned convenience stores. BTW, did you hear? JK Rowling says that just because they're "unmanned" doesn't make them women.

Also, Ollie recommends a river cruise that, on the one hand, is profiting off of racism, but on the other hand, has gathered a bunch of racists in one, pretty vulnerable location. Just saying. Plus, Bobby lets a bunch of angry river cruise shachos yell at Greg for 25 minutes.

Topics discussed on this episode range from:

• Tourism/event related business woes
• Bobby's t-shirt
• Overcorrecting perceived racism
• The (main) difference between Michelle Obama and Bob Sapp
• The plans to open a new Harry Potter park in Tokyo
• Why Disney Prince is such an appealing career option
• Why any modern business plan needs to be at least 50% the answer to the world's political and environmental problems
• The liquefaction issues at Disney
• How to make disaster prevention whimsical
• Theme parks going contactless to prevent transfer of germs AND Sexual Misconduct accusations
• How nice it is to have cashless.
• Sorry, I meant how to "have a nice cashless."
• Japan's weird order for technology adoption
• Unmanned convenience stores
• How all of the self-checkout technology either feels like shoplifting or lends to it
• How going "personless" is still pretty meaningless because we all still end up touching each other anyway

Topics discussed in the extras range from: 

• How Ollie has bonded with the call center people
• How travel companies and affiliate sites are splitting up that tourism money
• Greg's insight into the tensions between the old guard and the new guard in the Japanese tourism industry
• Behind the scenes in how the money gets handed out in the talent industry
• What Greg has learned about the differences between how our Asian neighbors and our Western family members travel Japan

• What Greg said to the family of four who wanted to book a night in a manga kissa
• What the real work behind running a site like Tokyo Cheapo requires

In Session 19 unterhalte ich mich mit Michi Wimmer. Er war Sänger von Cashless und liefert ein wahres Feuerwerk an Anekdoten und unglaublichen Geschichten, die er mit der Band erlebt hat. Neben all den spannenden und witzigen Stories geht es aber auch um die Abläufe und das Netzwerk rund um Cashless, Widerstände mit denen die Band zu kämpfen hatte und wir werden mitunter auch etwas persönlich, schließlich sind wir beide mittlerweile "Punkrock-Familienväter". Das Ganze ist mal wieder mehr bayerisch, als deutsch, aber anders zu sprechen hätte sich für uns einfach mehr als seltsam angefühlt. Deswegen hoffe ich einfach, ihr seht's uns nach und könnt uns folgen. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, es zu probieren! :-)

In dieser Folge erfährst du unter anderem:

…wie man an Booking Agenturen und Labels/Managements kommt (Tipp: Unbekannterweise einfach irgendwelche Leute anschreiben ist nicht der Weg ;-))

…dass man niemals ein Punisher sein sollte, wenn man auf Shows mit bekannteren Bands gebucht werden will (man kann es nicht oft genug sagen)

…wie man als DIY Band eine Australientour organisiert und wie so etwas ablaufen kann

…dass man nie etwas öffnen sollte, wo „DO NOT OPEN WHEN HOT“ drauf steht

…dass Entfernungen jegliche Bedeutung verlieren, wenn man lang genug in einer Band spielt

…dass man als Band lernen muss, mit der „Punkrock-Polizei“ umzugehen

…was es bedeutet 65 Konzerte im Jahr ausschließlich an Wochenenden und Feiertagen zu spielen

…auf welchen skurrilen Veranstaltungen man als junge Band so landen kann

…warum man sehr bewusst entscheiden sollte, wie regelmäßig man in seinem Heimatort spielt

…welche unerwarteten Wendungen sich auf DIY-Touren ergeben können

…warum das selbst organisierte Touren als junge Band eine unbezahlbare Erfahrung fürs Leben ist

…etliche, unglaubliche, mega unterhaltsame Anekdoten

…warum man als Sänger besonders auf seine Gesundheit achten sollte

…unsere Gedanken zu aktueller Popmusik, Spotify, Vinyl und dem Hörverhalten der Jugend

…Einblicke in unser Leben als Punkrock-Familienväter und wie spießig wir wirklich geworden sind

…warum wir unsere Frauen als echte Superheldinnen betrachten

…warum das Anprangern von „Kommerz“ niemandem weiterhilft und oft kurzsichtig und ungerechtfertigt ist

…dass es Menschen gibt, die nicht Game Of Thrones schauen

Und vieles mehr...

Viel Spaß!
