Join Scott and Mark with their guests Dave Vadala as they chat about reviewing movies and working as a stand-up comic during the pandemic. Dave Vadala is a comedian, filmmaker, movie critic, and podcast host known for his dark humor, which sometimes gets him in trouble. Today, Dave shares his thoughts on how annoying friendly neighborhoods are and why Australia could be The Matrix. You don’t want to miss this, so stay tuned and enjoy the episode! Why People Love Movies In this episode, when asked why he talks about movies in his podcast, Dave answered it with the reasoning behind each episode’s format. He admitted that he always liked the escapism that movies provided. Hence, like movies, he would start the show with a cold open, comedians making a minute or so of jokes about the movie or not. Dave would then continue to the bulk of the episode, which was the movie review. Movies have always been a passion of his. But what seals the deal was how accessible a touchstone it was, making it all the more relatable to talk about in any setting. And now that several movies are going straight to streaming services and many people are staying at home, movies stayed true to what they always were—a form of escapism anyone can rely on, that even the worst movies are still fun. Never Be Friends With Neighbors Most people would think that having friendly neighbors is lovely, and, to some extent, it is. But, if you just want to go about your day without interacting with anyone, you are not in luck if you move to Arizona. While there are pros to being friends with your neighbors, it can be awkward when you two get into a big fight because you would have to live with each other. Later in the episode, Dave and the hosts talk about why you should not be friends with your neighbors. First of all, it is never an ideal setting to suddenly stop in your tracks just to talk to a neighbor you happen to pass by. Not only would you get in the way of other people also trying to go about their day, the awkwardness of just standing in front of your house, talking about the most mundane things, can get real old, real fast. Second, as mentioned before, if ever you do get into a fight with your neighbor, it would just make being in that neighborhood annoying at best. And third, don’t get me started on nosy neighbors, especially the ones with whom you had a strongly-worded argument. And so, remember, never be friends with your neighbors if you do not want to get canceled in the most boomer way possible, real-life gossip. About Dave Vadala: Dave Vadala is a Boston comic seen often active online these days. Dave also hosts The Comic’s Feature Podcast, where he talks with comedians about movies that hit streaming services. Dave’s comedy is primarily silly and fun, but it is limited by his intelligence or, in some cases, supercharged.

134. Dave Sarra Comedian and co host of Comedy Stains

Join Scott and Mark with their guests Dave Sarra as they chat about comedy club stories, conspiracy theories, and the age of shitty sequels. Dave Sarra is a stand-up comedian, podcast host, Twitch streamer, and Youtuber known for the most random types of humor. Today, he shares his thoughts on comedians, politics, adult sites, and Antarctica. There’s a lot to unpack, so stay tuned and enjoy the episode! Comedians and Connections In this episode, Dave shares countless stories about comedy clubs and how most of them nowadays are just there to get your name out. Back when Kill Tony was still a thing, it was a way for most up-and-coming comedians to enter the scene. But, more often than not, newer podcasts trying to emulate Kill Tony only want to bring on big names like Joe Rogan, which Mark pointed out that podcasts are not about connecting with more prominent comedians but with an actual audience. After all, an audience is what makes a star and not just the people you know. Funny enough, Dave made the same point later on, saying that it is not about fame but about having fun with the audience and your peers. Unfortunately, while Joe Rogan’s ideology that all comedians are peers, Dave Sarra believes otherwise because if it were that simple, then it would not be difficult for aspiring comedians to enter the stand-up industry. While Dave made an attempt and failed, he still tries to connect with other comedians because he genuinely enjoys the company of others like him. In the end, the connections that matter are the ones where you have the most fun. Conspiracies on Antarctica and Giant Culture Later on, Dave is asked the usual “Is Australia real?” question, which, interestingly enough, spiraled down into a discussion surrounding Antarctica. While he immediately confirmed that Australia is real, contrary to Flat Earthers’ beliefs, he still questioned why Antarctica surrounds the Earth on all its edges. For a moment, this question confused the hosts to the point that they thought Dave was a Flat Earther. Luckily, he was not, but that does not waver his concerns around Antarctica. Now, when he was asked what his favorite conspiracy theory is, to the hosts’ surprise again, Dave did not answer Antarctica but rather Giant Culture. At first, the three went on about a documentary-like show about giants, spiraling down once again into how redheads and dinosaurs prove that giants could have existed. While numerous studies have either debunked or proven it, giant culture remains a conspiracy that will always pique Dave Sarra’s interest. Outline of the Episode: [01:18] Dave talks about what he does and how he met Kelsey Hudgins. [06:50] How podcasts like Kill Tony were a way for up-and-coming comedians to be seen. [08:22] Dave’s experience being on Kill Tony and how much he sucked the first time. [10:55] What comedy bars are open in Los Angeles, and which ones charge too much. [13:03] How comedy clubs nowadays are about getting your name out there than connecting with an audience. [16:17] How long he’d been doing stand-up, and why comedians are not the same. [19:19] The Green Room and Dave’s stories of hanging around big names like Bobby Lee and Joe Rogan. [22:45] Dave’s notes on previous guests and how the background music trips him up. [26:01] Their thoughts on magic and Dave’s Magic Castle story. [29:27] Growing up in the age of shitty sequels and why Dave loves them. [31:40] Recent movies they saw and why not having been to theaters made even the shitty ones good. [34:24] What the best Star Wars movie is and why it is not The Force Awakens. [38:21] A discussion on wrestling and politics and why Dave loves getting involved in both. [40:53] What Dave Sarra’s favorite adult site is and why he made an Xvideos account. [44:02] Their answers to Dave’s question of “If you’re stuck on an island, which pornstar’s entire videography would you have with you?” [46:01] Dave’s countless experiences in his younger years and how some of them still turn him on. [53:02] Dave Sarra’s answer to “Is Australia real?” and his question of “Why is Antarctica surrounding the earth in all edges?” [57:29] Dave’s favorite conspiracy theory and why he loves Giant Culture. [01:00:27] Why Dave is concerned about Antarctica’s existence and how conspiracy theories around ‘child pornography’ are often dismissed. [01:05:06] A continuation of the Giant Culture discussion and why redheads and dinosaurs prove it. [01:11:38] What pieces of information Dave has learned that he would think should be illegal for him to know. Catch Dave Sarra!

136 John Mazz Youtube Channel Side Hustle Enterprise dogecoin and safemoon opinions

Join Scott and Mark with their guest John Mazz as they chat about his YouTube channel and his cryptocurrency journey. John Mazz is the person behind the Side Hustle Enterprise YouTube channel. Today, he shares how he went from being a welder to a crypto miner and the story behind creating his content on YouTube. If you want to hear more crazy stories, stay tuned and enjoy the episode!
YouTube Out of Necessity
John was a college instructor for a number of years and had a special needs student in one of his classes. Since his student needed additional learning aids, John went to YouTube to create content for the student. What started as making content for a student ended up great for him as he made his content, breaking away from the initial plan of making learning aids. That came into fruition, and his YouTube channel, though all over the place, is gaining traction with currently 1.15k subscribers as of writing. John’s interest in cryptocurrency made him focus on that niche for his channel, so he talks about it in his videos.
Getting into Cryptocurrency
Having a bit of background in building computers on his own, John was thrilled when he first got to learn the concept of cryptocurrency. He got involved in crypto since its conception in 2009 when he just moved to Southwest Florida. At the time, Bitcoin can be mined with a PC, so with a small computer plugged at the back of a welding shop, John started mining Bitcoin. Before he even landed where he is now, John had a few bumps along the way. It reached the point where he sold everything he had and moved 800 miles away from Southwest Florida. Despite his success in making money out of cryptocurrency and as a YouTuber, John does not consider himself a professional trader or proficient in it. He sees himself as a masterclass welder who loves trading and cryptocurrency.
About John Mazz:
John Mazz is a former college instructor and a career welder/ metal fabricator. He considers himself an optimist, a growing entrepreneur, and a workaholic. John started his first business, LLC, Top Dead Center Fabrications, at 17. It has changed direction many times, but it’s still going strong, just like his family, who is the driving force behind what he does.
Outline of the Episode:
[01:44] Starting a YouTube channel out of necessity and stumbling across cryptocurrency.
[03:19] John’s insights on the current crypto situation.
[12:28] Trading strategy and preferable stable coin to use.
[16:47] Thoughts on using a trading bot, so there is no need to watch the charts.
[20:01] What made John get involved in DogeCoin, and what he thinks about it.
[23:29] Doge conspiracies: are they plausible?
[26:41] What John thinks of Robin Hood and its possibility of being among the top ten Doge wallets.
[28:02] Duplicates and reproductions of coins.
[33:08] Frustrations on tokenomics and exchanges.
[41:17] John’s take on crypto mining, difficulty levels on various coins, and setups.
[47:08] What John thinks about crypto.com’s Defi app versus using the app where the card is.
[49:01] The most cost-effective way to mining CRO.
[1:00:00] Is Australia real? Is there something else in Antarctica besides ice?
[1:04:30] John’s guilty pleasure in music; information that feels illegal to know.
