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.

135 Dave Vadala Comedian Host of The Comics Feature

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. Outline of the Episode: [01:31] Dave Vadala talks about what he does on his podcast, The Comic’s Feature. [04:17] How long Dave has been doing comedy and a discussion on dark humor. [12:33] What drove him to talk about movies on the podcast and their ranking system. [17:30] Their thoughts on Entourage and Dave’s podcast idea “Upon to Rage.” [25:03] What it was like working as a stand-up in New York amid the pandemic. [27:22] Living in different states and how annoyingly friendly it is in Arizona. [32:17] Why you should not be friends with your neighbors. [36:29] More on Dave’s New York trip and how he became a joke junky. [39:46] How difficult it is to find avenues to work your craft as a stand-up. [44:50] The pressure and excitement of performing in different states in front of new crowds. [47:08] Dave Vadala’s answer to “Is Australia is real?” and why it could be The Matrix. [50:13] Dave’s favorite conspiracy and why DJ Khaled is not “real” either. [55:20] A piece of information that Dave has learned that he feels should be illegal. Catch Dave Vadala!

137. Brandon Gooch Hahn Las Vegas Radio Host Komp 92.3

Join Scott and Mark with their guest, Brandon "Gooch" Hahn, as they chat about “branding” in music genres and cancel culture. Brandon Hahn is an afternoon radio personality, an accomplished stand-up comedian, and a raging hypocrite from Las Vegas. Along with Dennis Huff and Petar Spajic, Brandon also hosts the best podcast in the universe, at least according to them, “Rise To Offend.” Today, he shares his thoughts on how similar music genres are and why flat earthers are stupid. There’s a lot to unpack, so stay tuned and enjoy the episode.
The Magic of Music on the Radio
After talking about segregation among music genres and fans, Brandon shares why he loves radio. He believes that there is a certain magic to playing requested songs. After all, no one knows what is coming up next. The variety of music on the radio gives listeners a chance to find other genres of music they might grow to love. Song requests on radio break listeners out of their echo chamber and, in turn, see what else is out there. It is then that they get to see if there is anything else that can eventually inspire them. Sometimes, all people need to get into a different genre is a “hook.” This “hook” can be a theme, a lyric, or even a melody. But once they find it, they can look for it in their usual genre or deep dive into another. It can even lead to what can be their favorite song someday. In the end, music is for everyone, and radio is what can bring magic to them.
How to Deal with Cancel Culture
In this episode, Brandon admitted to having his fair share of experiences on cancel culture. He then shared his best advice about it. Brandon, for one, does not engage in any forms of cancel culture, which is the first step to dealing with it. For instance, if somebody comes at you, confronting them only makes matters worse for you. As a result, instead of invalidating their claims, you end up helping their case. Hence, Brandon highly suggests ignoring them because eventually they will either run out of breath or look like the bad guy instead. But let’s face it. Ignoring them can be easier said than done. After all, the most challenging part about living in this world now is not reacting but just understanding that some people want to be validated so much that they will go extreme to do so. They invalidate others because they find comfort in knowing what they say or do matter when in reality, we all matter. Cancel culture is just a competition of “whose opinions matter more.” But again, people often forget that opinions are just that, opinions. And it is best to look in a different direction and go along with our day.
About Brandon "Gooch" Hahn:
Brandon "Gooch" Hahn started his radio journey in 2000, where he managed to score an internship without accruing insane amounts of debt. Thanks to being too dumb for college. Eighteen years later, he's in the same building where he started, holding down the afternoon shift for KOMP "The Rock Station." The jokes and personal philosophies he unleashes on his audience have been known to bring about either laughter or confusion, depending on the listener's sobriety level at the time. Brandon is also an accomplished standup comedian who performs mainly in the southwest and over the Vegas strip. His hobbies include playing guitar, Madden, and anger management.
