Join Scott and Mark with their guest, Alex Velluto, as they chat about different cryptocurrencies and why Alex hates all of them. Alex Velluto is an actor, a writer, and a comedian on the rise. With two Dry Bar Comedy specials and millions of online views, Alex has performed in the top comedy clubs across the country in over 60 cities as a member of the Dry Bar Comedy Tour. Today, he shares his thoughts on healthcare, billionaires, and nudity-backed crypto. You don't want to miss this, so stay tuned and enjoy the episode!The Existential Crisis Behind CryptoWhen asked about his short-lived crypto journey, Alex went on about how much he hated it. Alongside investing and billionaires, cryptocurrency is on top of his “It can die in a fire” list. After investing a few cents into Dogecoin, he ended up with a lot less than he had imagined. And so, he pulled out whatever investment he had in Doge and swore never to do it again. However, this is not the only reason why he is bitter about cryptocurrency. At first, Alex jokingly said that he hates crypto because he wishes he had gotten into it sooner. But soon after, he also shared his experience talking about crypto with people he knew. In this experience, he intuitively realized that crypto is based on the value people put in it. And so, if crypto is based on the value people give it, then the same can be said for anything else—stocks, real estate, other people, etc. Hence, with cryptocurrency, Alex Velluto is constantly reminded that everything in life is meaningless, the one thought he tries to forget, even for a little while. And yet, here he is, talking about different cryptocurrencies in today's episode of Amigospc. The Aftermath of Decentralizing Big CompaniesOften, the goal of cryptocurrency is to decentralize large businesses such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Then again, while discussing how Helium plans to go up against The Internet, Alex posed the question, “What happens after they succeed?” Like the concept of anarchism, crypto's goal to take down big companies could only mean that crypto seeks to take their place, which is arguably just as bad. Later in the episode, Alex best described it as “taking down evil corporations by being more evil.” Of course, while this is a joke, there may be some truth to crypto's means to decentralize ventures in power. And while Mark tried to counter it with “what if crypto becomes sustainable,” it still begs the question, “who would be responsible for its regulation then?”. What would the distribution of resources be like then? Will the value of crypto be sustainable when, at its core, its value is based on what value people give it? So far, sustaining the value of crypto has already proven to be impossible. Hence, Alex's concern over the aftermath of crypto's success is still valid. Either way, only the future holds the answer to his question, and the number of existential crises in this episode is enough for one day.About Alex Velluto:Alex Velluto was named “Best of Fest” at the Golden Spike Comedy Festival. Alex also won at the Finger Lakes Comedy Festival in Ithaca, NY, and got into the finals at the Boston Comedy Festival. Since then, he has performed at other top festivals globally, including the Big Sky Comedy Festival and the Seattle International Comedy Competition.In 2016, Alex was voted “Best Comedian” by City Weekly Magazine. Now, his debut comedy special "Alex Velluto: Spurious" is currently streaming on Amazon. He is also said to appear alongside the cast of JK Studios, formerly known as Studio C, in their series Loving Lyfe. Not only that, he will be hosting a comedy walking series for NordicTrack despite being vaguely out of shape, according to him.

Jay Light joins Jimmer Lowe for an Episode of Heckled. Jay is a regular performer at famed Sunset Strip institution the Comedy Store, and co-produces weekly live editions of Roast Battle. He credits the latter with helping him tap into his true comedic voice, become a better joke-writer, and elevate his confidence as a performer...not to mention score the opportunity to open for Dave Chappelle. Onstage Jay may look like the clean-cut, naïve boy next door and readily admit, “I suffer from camp-counselor face!” But as crowds quickly learn, he doesn’t shy from discussing his sheltered religious upbringing or the formative lessons learned along his path to sobriety. In addition to making the finals of Comedy Central’s Roast Battle II: War of the Words, Jay has appeared on the network’s Not Safe with Nikki Glaser and HBO’s Project Greenlight. Most recently he’s honed his improv skills at emerging L.A. venue The Pack Theater, and in 2018 became both a contributing writer for Pete Holmes’ HBO series Crashing and staff writer for the Discovery Channel’s BattleBots reboot. Aside from touring clubs, music venues and colleges across the country, other stand-up credits include the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival, the Motor City Comedy Festival, the Golden Spike Comedy Festival, the Blue Whale Comedy Festival, and South by Southwest.In the podcasting realm, Jay puts his film degree to use every Monday morning on Blockbusting with Jay Light. The show first invites top comics and filmmakers to discuss industry news and the latest box-office results. Guests then dissect a successful mainstream movie they don’t consider a personal favorite – no gimmicks, no remorse, no punches pulled. Everything may be subjective in comedy, but on Blockbusting unpopular opinion rules.

After an upbringing and young adulthood in rural Alaska that could generously be described as "some Story of Job shit", Lauren Murphy found herself hopelessly addicted to drugs and near the end of her rope. She had taken just about as many punches from Life as she could take. So she decided to punch back. Now Lauren is a happily married mom and professional MMA fighter in the UFC with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses, and, far more importantly, she's clean and has been for years. If her story doesn't move you, then you are probably dead. And not just regular old "oh I'm dead inside" type dead, but literally dead. We met Lauren at The MMA Lab in Phoenix where she taught us how to kick and punch (badly, but that's not her fault) and then we sat down at the Phoenix House of Comedy to talk about fighting. Fighting addiction, fighting your demons, fighting for your life, etc. (We talk about actual fighting too.) Before the interview, you'll hear a conversation the three of us had on Saturday at the Golden Spike Comedy Festival in Salt Lake City. Being in the heart of Mormon World had religion on our mind, so be ready for some blasphemy in this un. Enjoy!
