Join Scott and Mark with their guests David Mitchell Jr. as they chat about diving into cryptocurrency and the future of digital transactions. David is a YouTuber whose content ranges from real estate investing to now cryptocurrency. Today, he shares his thoughts on the “crypto as the people’s new currency” movement and how the recent hype of Dogecoin may cause the rise of other crypto forms. If you want to get ahead with digital stocks and currency, stay tuned and enjoy the episode!Crypto As The People’s CurrencyWith the promise of it stabilizing later down the line, there has been a movement to make crypto the people’s new currency recently, piquing the interest of many. David Mitchell Jr. even dove into what it could mean concerning the current economy and the dollar’s value. He believes that certain aspects have to take place. The issue of inflation has often hindered the possibility of crypto becoming the people’s currency. Take the dollar, for example. The dollar also struggles with inflation. It usually has to be attached to something to grow in value, such as gold and oil. Cryptocurrencies are no exception to this problem. The current economy is so linked to physical investments that people would more often than not take out loans for real estate, cars, education, and the like. But now that we live in a digital age where most transactions are done online, cryptocurrency can be the people’s new form of payment. Investors may be turned off by crypto due to inflation now. Still, once companies start incorporating crypto into their system, its value may stabilize because then it would have goods linked to it. Then again, another issue would be regulations surrounding transactions that use cryptocurrency, which is where the Federal Reserve comes in. Either way, many factors have to be considered before crypto can become the people’s currency, but its possibilities are just as endless.The Rise of New CryptocurrenciesIn the last five years, Dogecoin has caused plenty of hype surrounding cryptocurrency. Hence, David believes that we will see numerous cryptocurrencies popping up because of it, especially in 2021. Cryptocurrencies like Doge have already made millionaires in the past few weeks alone so, who is to say it will end there? David, for one, has said that if ever he were to gun for any of the current cryptos in the market, he would hold onto Doge and AMC. According to him, everything else, such as GameStop stocks and the like, is still traditional. And with how things are rapidly developing in the digital market, there is no guarantee that these forms of crypto will hold their own. Then again, David would still preach for people never to invest what they are afraid of losing. While people have often joked about putting their retirement fund into crypto, it is still beneficial to practice caution when it comes to crypto. The issue of inflation is still prevalent after all. That being said, the most significant loss would be if you put everything in, and then it does not take off, but when you do sell it, that is when it takes off. Therefore, patience and perseverance are still the keys to any successful investment, whether crypto or not.Outline of the Episode:•[01:53] Who David Mitchell Jr. is and his range as an online content creator.•[05:06] What got David into investing and the first related project he worked on as an investor.•[07:50] Sharing experiences with real estate and the most significant project David is currently working on.•[10:38] What prompted him to learn more about cryptocurrency, specifically Dogecoin, and his initial thoughts.•[13:40] “Crypto as the people’s currency” movement and what it could entail for the current economy.•[16:06] David’s answer to “Is it possible for cryptocurrency like Doge to be stabilized enough to become the people’s new currency?”•[19:25] The issue with stabilizing Doge...

Join Scott and Mark with their guests Steve “ShortBus” Krause, as they chat about how to get into comedy and why there needs to be more genuine comics in the industry. ShortBus is a stairclimber, motivational speaker, and comedian from Pheonix, Arizona. Today, he shares what inspired him to get into stand-up and why he thinks aliens are real. There’s a lot to unpack so, stay tuned and enjoy the episode!Still Having Fun, Even in DisabilityIn this episode, ShortBus shares why he jokes about disability as an opener for his performances. While some would get rightfully offended by it, other people who sometimes have disabilities often come up to him and praise him for his work. They would tell him how included they felt and how brave he was for representing people of disability, showing the world that anyone can do comedy. ShortBus also does it because he believes he is already at a disadvantage when he goes on stage and is in a wheelchair. After all, any comic is immediately judged the second they walk out the door. Being disabled takes it to a whole other level because people would either feel sorry for him or expect him to make the same unfunny handicapped jokes. And so, ShortBus takes his disability and uses it to his advantage by breaking the ice with it. He lets people know that he is okay with being disabled and that if he doesn’t feel sorry for himself, you shouldn’t either. In the end, the audience has two options: they use their God-given legs and walk out or sit there and enjoy the ride. For ShortBus, his audience often chooses the latter.Mental Health Among ComediansWe all know mental health is an important issue everyone should address. Here, ShortBus asked the interesting question of “Why mental health is not being addressed in the comedian world right now?” and answered it best. According to him, comedians do what they do because they either hate their lives or are more screwed in the head than average. Often, comedians use their unstable mental health as fuel to the fire that is their performances. But once the fire is out, where does that fuel go? It stays in there, in their head, either until their next performance or until they burn themselves out. The worst part is, people often pretend it doesn’t ever happen and move on. ShortBus addresses this issue because the last thing he wants is to see one of his good comic friends pass away because nobody offered to help, that or they are expected to funny all the time, which should not be the case. In the end, people should see comedians are not always who they are on stage and are people too.Outline of the Episode:•[01:53] Why ShortBus uses his disability as an opener in his lineup.•[09:00] How he deals with people who get offended by his jokes.•[10:43] ShortBus, Fastpass, and his expensive fun time at Disney with his family.•[13:52] What inspired him to get into stand-up comedy and how he got started.•[20:41] Why we need more genuine comics and performers.•[25:27] How ShortBus manages to work from home and help his kids with their online classes.•[29:01] Parenting, Gaming, and Why his stepsons won’t play with him.•[32:56] The struggle of coming up with a username on Twitch and streaming.•[36:00] ShortBus shares a story about a hooker being recognized and called by their fake name.•[40:50] What ShortBus’ favorite adult site is and why it’s HBO.•[42:59] His thoughts on the conspiracy theory “Is Australia real?”•[45:33] Why Shortbus would gladly fly to Mars if given a one-way ticket to it.•[48:29] What his favorite conspiracy theory is and why our pictures of UFOs suck.•[53:56] If he wasn’t doing comedy, what would alternate universe ShortBus do?•[58:12] ShortBus shares how he survived the darkest time in his life.•[1:06:29] His advice to people who also want to quit their drinking habits.•[1:09:55]...

Join Scott and Mark with their guests Vizunary and Joe Audio as they chat about their song “Midnight GetRight” and their thoughts on different music genres. Vizunary and Joe Audio are music artists under Brown Street Entertainment, whose genres range from HipHop, Rap, Dance, and even Electronic. Today, the two share where they draw inspiration from and their plans for future releases. Stay tuned and enjoy the episode!Music Videos Then VS NowNowadays, you may have noticed the music videos playing in fast food joints and gyms. Most of them, if not all, are just people dancing for no apparent reason. While some would argue that it was a creative choice, it can be hard to believe when you have seen the same “creative choice” made for every music video. In this episode, Vizunary, Joe Audio, and the hosts talk about how music videos have changed through the years, from costing almost billions of dollars to make to only needing a phone with a good enough camera and someone to hold it. The barrier to making music videos has gone down, which means anyone can make a music video with the right equipment, software, and idea. But with an era saturated with nonsensical music videos, how can anyone stand out from the rest? Find out more in today’s episode of the AmigosPC Podcast!The Future of RapVizunary believes that today’s Rap has reached a plateau because he keeps hearing the same formula played on the radio in the last five years. It is the same process over and over, tweaked in subtle ways here and there. While some of them do sound a bit different such as Post Malone, who they consider a breath of fresh air, everything else stayed the same. Some artists tip the scale now and then, depending on who does something different first. But when an artist does something different, copies of it will follow soon after, creating another formula, another plateau. If anything, rappers nowadays, especially female rappers, are starting to sway back to how rappers used to do it more than a decade ago. Thus, the future of Rap is going back to the root of the genre.About Vizunary and Joe Audio:In 2006 Phoenix, AZ. Vizunary started recording music for his first street album Vizunz Vol. 1: The Beginning. After releasing the album in late June 2007, he realized that people enjoyed his music. Hence, he started performing at weekly shows around the Phoenix metro area. Simultaneously, Vizunary began working with Joe Audio to put out a mixtape called Arizona Vizunz, forming Brown Street Entertainment. Arizona Vizunz was released in January 2008 and started to gain notarization among local and regional artists and fans. After its release, the duo began to perform 2-4 shows weekly in the Phoenix metro area and the entire state of Arizona for the rest of the year. In 2009, the two started working on a new album called Future Desert Sounds with other artists. Around that time, Vizunary also began to work on his second album Vizunz Vol. 2. Upon releasing Future Desert Sounds in September 2009, the group performed extensively for the next six months to promote it. A year later, Vizunary decided to go on a partial hiatus for the next ten years, performing and releasing new songs sporadically. He recently finished Vizunz Vol. 2: Game Face and released it on November 27, 2020.Outline of the Episode:•[01:28] What Vizunary considers himself as.•[02:37] How he got into music and what kept him going since then.•[03:40] Why Vizunary chose not to have kids and would adopt if ever.•[06:29] Joe Audio’s struggle with names and why he does not call Vizunary by his real name.•[08:30] Where Vizunary and Joe Audio draw inspiration from for their music.•[12:53] How the two composed and produced the song “Midnight GetRight.”•[15:55] The movie magic behind their music videos like in “Midnight...

Today, join Scott and Mark with this episode's guest, Brandon Black, as they talk about comedy, how he got started, and his whole thing going forward as a comedian. When it comes to writing his material, Brandon opens up about how he prefers to just go for whatever subject possible, even if that could include anything that hits close to home. Anything for the laughs.Because of the pandemic, many industries were hit and were forced to adjust – including live comedy shows. For Brandon, restricting live events and resorting to online shows has been a real challenge. Far different from the experience people get from live comedy stand-ups, for him, any online show could lack the energy and connection comedians feed off from their live audience.As you get deeper into the randomness, listen as Brandon and your hosts talk more about the whole Funny AF experience, the etiquette needed in live shows, cryptocurrency and mining, Apple products, and so much more crazy theories and stuff!About Brandon Black:Brandon Black is the unofficial-official #HoodHumor king reigning straight out of Los Angeles, who continues to sell out The Hollywood Improv, and he is next to shine on the REVOLT Studios stage. Quickly making a name for himself, Black has garnered online and onstage attention as one of the city's best performers. Brandon Black is an L.A. native-born and raised near Florence and Normandie in the city's South Central section. He first realized he was funny while roasting classmates during lunch at Westchester High School.Even though he was a natural comedian, he was focused on music. He didn't pursue stand-up comedy until many years later after running into a friend outside a club who encouraged him to do an open mic. Some of his influences are the late Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, and Patrice O'Neal. Other influences include Dave Chapelle and Mike Epps.Outline of the episode:•[05:55] The pandemic made me do online shows.•[07:54] On upcoming shows and projects.•[11:10]The story of being a Big Black Sign.•[12:38]Experiencing Funny AF.•[17:20]Is personal life a sensitive subject source for comedy material?•[20:12]On meeting Warren G.•[25:13]Thoughts on how to enjoy live events; Live show etiquette.•[29:38]What Apple doesn't allow you to do.•[35:21] The better pick/brand for mining.•[45:28]Theories theories theories; Should we shelve this episode?•[50:37]What could be going around in prisons.•[57:55]Trash Talk Segment; Brandon's last google search.Resources:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/iambrandonblack/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/iambrandonblack/Follow The Brandon Black Show on:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brandon-black-show/id1545629334Check out Offical AmigosPC Merch at:https://teespring.com/stores/amigospcCatch AmigosPC on:Website:https://www.amigospc.net/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TwoandahalfAmigos/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/amigospc/Twitter:https://twitter.com/AmigosPCListen to the AmigosPC podcast on the following platforms:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-3-amigos-podcast/id1440367116https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-two-and-a-half-amigos_1https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-two-and-a-half-amigos-31154017/
