There are too many people in the world who do not think about what they want out of life until they are retired and on their deathbed, said Jonnie Penn, a cast member of the new MTV show “The Buried Life.”

He said people should not wait until they are 60 years old to discuss their regrets.

Instead, he said, young people should be proactive and avoid regrets at all costs.

“Figure out what you want to do when you’re young. Now is the best time to experiment and go try things, make mistakes and learn things about the world,” Jonnie Penn said. “Do it with your friends. Go out and do crazy stuff.”

Which is why the cast members, brothers Duncan Penn and Jonnie Penn, Ben Nemtin and Dave Lingwood, decided to create the show at a young age.

“We started this because we were in college looking at our own lives, as well as our friends’ lives, and feeling like something was missing,” Duncan Penn said. “We started to have some philosophical discussions about life and came up with the question: “What do you want to do before you die?'”

In response to their own question, the boys made a list of 100 things they would like to do before they die.

From this list, they have created a show in which they travel the country and attempt to cross off as many items from their list as possible.

In the most recent episode of the show the boys attempted to “ask out the girl of their dreams” &- Megan Fox.

Jonnie Penn said the cast understands not everyone can have a list of 100 goals that they can devote their lives to fulfilling; nonetheless, he said, it is not about the quantity of goals, it is about fulfilling the most important ones.

“Just complete the most important ones because otherwise you turn around, look at your life and realize that you spent a lot of time and put a lot of hard work into something that you are not truly passionate about,” Duncan Penn said.

Jonnie Penn said he admits that even their list is not set in stone.

“Things are added to the list and things fall of the list &- it is kind of emblematic of something bigger. It changes and evolves with us as we grow up.”

Whether it is 100 goals or 50, it all comes down to the main question of “What you want to do before you die,'” Jonnie Penn said.
