Speaker 1: Private talk. We have the pleasure of having Ben Richardi
Speaker 1: on the couch. Hey, Hello, Hello, welcome, how are we
Speaker 1: I am great, It's nice to meet you. Nice private
Speaker 1: talk couch. I feel like we've apparently we've been talking
Speaker 1: before saying we can always so many mutual friends.
Speaker 2: It's like two degrees, you know, it's a couple of degrees.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like we know each other, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know each other a little bit more
Speaker 1: on private talk. I love that so know and my
Speaker 1: listeners out there and I get to know a you
Speaker 1: little bit more.
Speaker 2: Let's it go.
Speaker 1: So, tell us a little bit about yourself. What do
Speaker 1: you have going on? I know you're a brand and
Speaker 1: social media specialist. What kind of things do you have
Speaker 1: cooking up with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I live kind of like multiple lives. So
Speaker 2: I own a full service digital and social agency working
Speaker 2: on the corporate side of stuff. So we work with
Speaker 2: the Didas Sprinkled c four Uh. I have a staff
Speaker 2: of about twenty five. So that's kind of the agency side.
Speaker 1: Is that like your baby, like the main one, and
Speaker 1: then you're gonna like seg.
Speaker 2: My off or that's what that's current, that's what you know,
Speaker 2: brings in the majority kind of the dollars for the
Speaker 2: business side. Then I have my following on social media,
Speaker 2: which has that whole world. And then I this year
Speaker 2: I got super into crypto and NFTs, but I don't
Speaker 2: really post about it just because it's kind of still
Speaker 2: new to the world. So it's like trying to but
Speaker 2: like I've dove into that. So I kind of work
Speaker 2: three jobs, don't really have a manager, so I've just
Speaker 2: been doing it all myself. So it's it's been an
Speaker 2: interesting ride, but it's been a blast.
Speaker 1: So as you say you're doing it all yourself, is
Speaker 1: like and you going and kind of stepping into these
Speaker 1: new endeavors, like how did you know? Did you just
Speaker 1: get interested in it and that you de developed into
Speaker 1: a company and something you became into, or is just
Speaker 1: kind of like you knew, how did someone calling?
Speaker 2: I'll bring it back. So I was a music manager
Speaker 2: for like fifteen years managing music artists. I also was
Speaker 2: an artist's way back way back when, and when I
Speaker 2: stopped managing, I kind of knew I never wanted to
Speaker 2: manage artists again. They're a little crazy. As of my.
Speaker 1: Probably experiences that you've had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was pretty brutal. Some amazing people
Speaker 2: that I worked with, but it was it's a tough,
Speaker 2: cutthroat industry. And so I started this agency with fifteen
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to my name. Uh, and I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I just know I don't want to work for people
Speaker 2: like that ever again. So I started. I was in
Speaker 2: a ten by ten room in my brother's office of
Speaker 2: popular demand, no air conditioning, no heat, super depressed, being like, yo,
Speaker 2: let me just figure this out. But I love to market.
Speaker 2: Marketing and branding has always been my passion. And I
Speaker 2: started hired one person than two then before I knew it.
Speaker 2: About six months in, there was like eight people sitting
Speaker 2: in this ten by ten room, no air conditioning, no heat,
Speaker 2: and I looked around. I'm like, it's getting we're all
Speaker 2: getting sweaty in here. Yeah, let me let me upgrade
Speaker 2: you an.
Speaker 1: Office, uncomfortable and be really great at what you do exactly.
Speaker 2: So so from there it grew and it's just been
Speaker 2: growing and growing and growing. But what's wild is, you know,
Speaker 2: we grew really big. Had had Adidas as our main client,
Speaker 2: we had a bunch of others, and we were cranking
Speaker 2: going into the pandemic. Pandemic hits, my whole world changes.
Speaker 2: Right that day, all my clients were like, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: gonna like pause on everything. And so then I'm like
Speaker 2: staring into the wall again.
Speaker 1: Going there make you feel is it?
Speaker 2: Like uh?
Speaker 1: Because you just have such an entrepreneur mindset where you're like,
Speaker 1: oh I got this, or you're like fuck the world,
Speaker 1: then like what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2: So I have you know, I think everybody in life
Speaker 2: has their like spidy like they're they're like superpower, right,
Speaker 2: and I have a couple of superpowers. I think one
Speaker 2: of my superpowers is I could just get beaten to
Speaker 2: a pulp and like I'm like, literally, they're just beaten up,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'll figure it out. And so I've
Speaker 2: always kind of had that mentality of like, yo, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get destroyed, but I'm gonna wake back up and
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna figure it out right back up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And so when this happened, I literally flipped into that
Speaker 2: mode and I'm like all good, no ego about it,
Speaker 2: let's go. Had to make some changes, had to downsize.
Speaker 2: I had my baby was my office. I had this
Speaker 2: eleven thousand square foot office had a basketball court in it,
Speaker 2: movie theater in it. I used to you know, it's
Speaker 2: my area to flex. People would come in and be
Speaker 2: like your man cave. It was kind of like my
Speaker 2: business man cave, right, And everybody would come in and
Speaker 2: be like, Yo, this place is so dope. And I
Speaker 2: had to give it up. And I had to like
Speaker 2: call my landlord with my taible between my legs and
Speaker 2: be like, bro, I can't pay you twenty five thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a month right now, Like that is not happening. Luckily,
Speaker 2: he had some like YouTuber squad that was like begging
Speaker 2: for my office for years, and they took it mid lockdown,
Speaker 2: mid pandemic. I got out of it scot free, so
Speaker 2: that was like dope. I was like, oh good. And
Speaker 2: then like little things would happen and I was taking
Speaker 2: jobs for like a couple grand that normally I was
Speaker 2: getting paid like fifty to one hundred grand prior to pandemic,
Speaker 2: just going like yo, if I can pay a few
Speaker 2: of my people, keep everybody active. Then I got that
Speaker 2: PPP loan that helped me a little bit. But then
Speaker 2: I just started battling, and second half of last year
Speaker 2: started like really perking up, and then the end of
Speaker 2: last year we got lucky, had a couple of our
Speaker 2: big clients come back on in twenty twenty. This year
Speaker 2: has been our biggest year to date in the last
Speaker 2: ten years, and it's been unreal. It's been a blast
Speaker 2: and it's been a whirlwind. But but you're asking about
Speaker 2: like the crypto and NFTs and like that world. I'm
Speaker 2: just a huge risk taker, Like I'm a dude that
Speaker 2: like when I get excited about something, I'm going head first.
Speaker 2: And with crypto, I was like, yo, it.
Speaker 1: Developed into like a hobby. It was like it was
Speaker 1: a hobby, which it was like a financially it's great.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was just getting into those things early on,
Speaker 1: because that's the thing, like you said, you don't really
Speaker 1: talk about it too much people when you have those
Speaker 1: conversations you know, myself included, and you don't really know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of foreign and then you almost think it's
Speaker 1: make believe. And then when you realize that it's actually
Speaker 1: real and has a meaning to it and there's some
Speaker 1: kind of substance or a total cu blockchain, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, that it's like, oh okay, it comes
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But it's you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: the reality that we're living in. You see, you know,
Speaker 1: every other day there's a new headline of like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it was the Staples.
Speaker 2: Center seven hundred million less.
Speaker 1: For sure, you know, it's it's crazy. But it's also
Speaker 1: again one of those things I feel people are just
Speaker 1: now kind of in the brink of people understanding and
Speaker 1: this like a scraping of it even because they're seeing
Speaker 1: these big numbers and want to be attached to it,
Speaker 1: but just don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think mainstream the next five years,
Speaker 2: it's going to it's going to really be a much
Speaker 2: more mainstream topic. But but for me, like I had
Speaker 2: always dabbled in it, I learned a lot about it
Speaker 2: over the last four or five six years. I had
Speaker 2: so many of my my poker friends and all those
Speaker 2: guys that were always like, why aren't you doing this?
Speaker 2: But my worry was like I had this business that
Speaker 2: was that was not even incredibly stable. It was like tough,
Speaker 2: so cash wise, it was like, oh, I can't just
Speaker 2: start like.
Speaker 1: Throw it into something that you don't really know exactly.
Speaker 2: So I was always learning and in the beginning of
Speaker 2: this year, I was like, yo, I want in and then.
Speaker 2: But but with me, it's kind of this is how
Speaker 2: I lived life. It's like I don't like dip a
Speaker 2: toe in. I'm like, you're going, I'm diving into the
Speaker 2: cold end, and I'm gonna get crushed. And I got crushed.
Speaker 2: So my first like two months into crypto, people are
Speaker 2: giving me really bad advice, and I was investing in
Speaker 2: these shit coins, which are you.
Speaker 1: Just basing it off of, like you know, word of
Speaker 1: mouth and not doing your own like research, because that's
Speaker 1: also sometimes it was a make.
Speaker 2: Sure of both problem. It was a mixture of both,
Speaker 2: but like I didn't understand things enough deep enough to
Speaker 2: know like, oh, if they don't have a large enough
Speaker 2: liquidity pool, wheneverbody tries to take their money out, there's
Speaker 2: no money to take out. So a lot of these
Speaker 2: like you know, I'm not even talking bitcoin etherory in
Speaker 2: any of that stuff. I'm talking like what are known
Speaker 2: as shit coins, and so like I got into some
Speaker 2: and you see your number go way up and then
Speaker 2: drop and it's chaos. And I had some rough goes
Speaker 2: of it, people screwing me, getting screwed, all good, some
Speaker 2: rug pulls things like things like that, But.
Speaker 1: I learned, but it didn't discourage you because.
Speaker 2: I studied and studied and spent night after night after
Speaker 2: night learning talking to people that knew a lot, and
Speaker 2: then I just got deep. And then I started marketing
Speaker 2: different cryptos and that went really well. And then have
Speaker 2: have always been watching the NFT space over the last
Speaker 2: year and more and more and more because I've always
Speaker 2: been on the design side of stuff and really learning it,
Speaker 2: and it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating. I feel like NFT things, you know, I've
Speaker 1: definitely dabbled myself and doing whole marketplace stuff and it's
Speaker 1: it's just creatively like a genius thing. And it's one
Speaker 1: of those things that feels like it's almost when you
Speaker 1: want to say, like it's kind of almost like like
Speaker 1: why did it take so long? But not in a
Speaker 1: sense of like this whole like unexplainable, like universe type
Speaker 1: of thing, but in a sense of like the art
Speaker 1: behind it, like what really like manifested, like what these
Speaker 1: people are creatively can do, and it's being showcased, I
Speaker 1: think in a really cool way, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to like see what is all
Speaker 1: unveiling to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think one thing that people lose sight
Speaker 2: of is NFTs are are I think it gets lost
Speaker 2: on the why of why using NFTs and it's the validator,
Speaker 2: and I think blockchains validates things. Right, So if you
Speaker 2: buy a baseball card that's worth a certain amount of money,
Speaker 2: but it ends up being a fake, you have no
Speaker 2: real way to know if it's real or authentic unless
Speaker 2: if it's been authenticated. And NFTs are being authenticated by
Speaker 2: the blockchain. And the more that those types of things
Speaker 2: happen and over time, then this is going to be
Speaker 2: something that's in our whole life. Kind of similar a
Speaker 2: guy explaining this to me. It's similar to how Bluetooth.
Speaker 2: When we were first coming up with Bluetooth, people were like, wait,
Speaker 2: you're gonna like connect things with your phone and everybody
Speaker 2: was like that's gonna be a fad, And it's like,
Speaker 2: can you imagine today if there was no Bluetooth, you'd
Speaker 2: be like what, No.
Speaker 1: Like, we have so many ease.
Speaker 2: For everything, but you don't even think about it, right,
Speaker 2: And NFTs, over time will really become that you're going
Speaker 2: to Coachella, your ticket's going to be an NFT, like
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen things at you know, when you go
Speaker 2: to these shows, or when you go to events, or
Speaker 2: when you you do almost anything, they're going to turn
Speaker 2: into NFTs just because it's going to be validated through
Speaker 2: the blockchain.
Speaker 1: So for sure, what would you say is the best
Speaker 1: advice you've ever gotten?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man? That that's that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: Is that you're one of those people you don't tip
Speaker 1: one toe, you put all ton in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one. But but I think you know, I
Speaker 2: do a lot of sell. I'm in sales a lot,
Speaker 2: but I'm also just in like business development and working
Speaker 2: with clients. And you know, the biggest thing to learn
Speaker 2: is to kind of drop your ego and know that
Speaker 2: whatever you're working on is about the other person. And
Speaker 2: I think it's even in friendships, right, it's even in
Speaker 2: anything in life. The more that you stop thinking only
Speaker 2: about yourself, the more you think about others, both in
Speaker 2: business and in personal so much more is going to
Speaker 2: come back. Right. So, Like when I deal with clients,
Speaker 2: I try to really go like what's their goal? How
Speaker 2: do I get there? And how do I get there
Speaker 2: even further than they were even thinking and then this
Speaker 2: is the hardest part for everybody, letting them take all
Speaker 2: the credit for it, even though maybe you were the
Speaker 2: mastermind behind it. It's like let them puff out their
Speaker 2: chest because it only helps you in the long term.
Speaker 1: For sure, you go as a big, you know, big
Speaker 1: killer of a lot of things. And I thought, like,
Speaker 1: that's why people maybe don't even get to that stuff
Speaker 1: is because they can't take a shared accountability. It has
Speaker 1: to be a singular type of thing. So like, I
Speaker 1: agree with you there. If people came with the warning label,
Speaker 1: what would yours.
Speaker 2: Be, I'm a lot, I'm a lot, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Your T shirt's gonna say I'm a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm a lot, you know, the warning label, Like just
Speaker 2: just be prepared for me to also tell the truth
Speaker 2: and be honest in way. We like the truth here exactly.
Speaker 2: So like yo, and that's why you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. I was a little nervous about coming on
Speaker 2: this podcast. I mean it's a little bit the truth.
Speaker 1: We want the truth, the.
Speaker 2: Truth exactly, so you know, with everything, it's just like,
Speaker 2: what was okay?
Speaker 1: So why were you intimidated to come on the podcast?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was intimidated, hesitant, mean, alexis you
Speaker 2: are you are a badass. You know a lot of
Speaker 2: a lot of people know you for for a very
Speaker 2: long period of time, you know.
Speaker 1: But is that because that's such an alpha that you
Speaker 1: were intimidated to have a conversation with an alpha? Or
Speaker 1: adult movies at one time and you like probably like
Speaker 1: maybe watched one and you can't look me in the.
Speaker 2: Eye or absolutely look you in the eye. And absolutely,
Speaker 2: I'll go I'll go on record absolutely, come on, no, No,
Speaker 2: I actually love alpha females. I am one that enjoys
Speaker 2: both dating, business anything working with alpha females. I'd actually
Speaker 2: prefer it over anything else because a strong woman does
Speaker 2: so much damage. Like they are badasses. Yeah, honestly, I do,
Speaker 2: like like so many of you know, the number two
Speaker 2: person and I'll even say, she's probably the number one
Speaker 2: person above me in my company as a woman, and
Speaker 2: without her, you wouldn't want me on this podcast because
Speaker 2: I would definitely not be successful. I'd be you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know where I would be. So, uh, that
Speaker 2: part I was I was excited about the other part
Speaker 2: you were saying, is you know a little bit you
Speaker 2: know off my normal beaten path to that the world knows.
Speaker 1: Are we speaking of? Truth to Texas? Is that the
Speaker 1: part of the company.
Speaker 2: You know where I'm going, you know where I'm going.
Speaker 1: But hey, you know, like I said, you know this
Speaker 1: is not all about the TV like the nitty grittia
Speaker 1: of things, but we want to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I know what you feel comfortable
Speaker 1: letting us know. So it's all up to you. But
Speaker 1: we you know, respect, honesty, and you know anything you
Speaker 1: want to ask me a fair game.
Speaker 2: Hey, let's rock. Let's right, And first off, like I'm
Speaker 2: all for you know we were talking about of only
Speaker 2: fans proud of this. I've helped a ton of my
Speaker 2: friends with their ofs. I love where the new age
Speaker 2: of adult you know, business is going. And I'm not
Speaker 2: I know we're like jumping around a little bit. But
Speaker 2: like for me looking at it as like a marketer
Speaker 2: and a business person, I think it's awesome to watch
Speaker 2: women women and men but like adult stars and kind
Speaker 2: of amateur women and men going like yo, like Vivid
Speaker 2: doesn't need to take all the money, Like I can
Speaker 2: go rock this on my own and be my own creator.
Speaker 2: And I think that that's rad So for.
Speaker 1: Sure, I think it's a cool, you know concept of
Speaker 1: the finally to the point where it's finally the people
Speaker 1: who are doing the talent are actually benefitting off of
Speaker 1: the monetary value where people were not as much like
Speaker 1: using your manipulating you to get other things that weren't yours.
Speaker 1: And so with this, I feel like the platforms. There's
Speaker 1: other ones as well, but it just gives you a
Speaker 1: way to be your creative how you want to. And
Speaker 1: also it's a simpler way because before theoretically people who
Speaker 1: had their own sites as the same type of thing,
Speaker 1: but to get to that step, a lot of people
Speaker 1: didn't know those things. So this is more of a
Speaker 1: plug and play type of thing, which makes it easier.
Speaker 2: For and I actually think this is where a lot
Speaker 2: of industries are going to go. I think the music
Speaker 2: industry is going to go there more and more. I
Speaker 2: think a lot of a lot of creators in general
Speaker 2: are going to go there because you know, the white
Speaker 2: guy sitting there, that the old white guy was taking
Speaker 2: home way too much of the money, and I think
Speaker 2: it's exciting to watch.
Speaker 1: I think there is more than just one.
Speaker 2: But yeah, lots of hands, yeah, lots of hands taking money.
Speaker 1: But here, what would you say is your social media
Speaker 1: weakness that you just can't live with? How you just
Speaker 1: maybe fall down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos, Twitter, Instagram?
Speaker 2: See for me this question, I'm gonna have to flip it.
Speaker 2: And it's actually more difficult for me because, like tell us,
Speaker 2: social media is just I have a massive love hate
Speaker 2: relationship with it because first off, it's a lot of
Speaker 2: my day to day business work, and then it's also
Speaker 2: such a huge part of our world now. So like,
Speaker 2: for example, you know this, this brings us to like
Speaker 2: a situation like this, right, who I am on social
Speaker 2: media only shows one side of me, and there's a
Speaker 2: whole other side that like the social media world doesn't see.
Speaker 1: Because that's why we do podcasts like this to talk
Speaker 1: with Alexis Texas, and we give your fans and your
Speaker 1: listeners what they want.
Speaker 2: Damn it. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 1: Because you know, I feel like I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people do hide behind social media as far as
Speaker 1: like you know, the cloud of this on whatever. But
Speaker 1: even with my social media, it doesn't portray who I am.
Speaker 1: But talking to people, you know what I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like getting to know each other more and getting to
Speaker 1: see a different side of you with like just genuine
Speaker 1: conversation for sure, and zone stop hiding the truth from
Speaker 1: your fans, damn it.
Speaker 2: So you know, but with my socials too, it's like,
Speaker 2: I think one of the more difficult things is it's
Speaker 2: hard for me to find time to film content of
Speaker 2: myself that I really love because I'm so busy doing
Speaker 2: it for others that then my content becomes almost throwaway
Speaker 2: content that I enjoy. The message, But when's the last
Speaker 2: time you posted? I posted my assistance here? I posted yesterday, right,
Speaker 2: somebody posted I posted yesterday. Somebody posted, no, we did
Speaker 2: it together, damn it. I actually posted that one. He
Speaker 2: helped me though. But uh, but you know, I would
Speaker 2: go like a week not post anything anywhere, and it's
Speaker 2: just it's frustrating to me because I would love and
Speaker 2: I think one of my goals for twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: is to really kind of take the power back a
Speaker 2: little bit of what I want the world to know
Speaker 2: about me, because there's so much more than me just
Speaker 2: being quote unquote motivational guy, which is hard because it's
Speaker 2: tough to get on there.
Speaker 1: But it's about vulnerability and it's not easy for anybody
Speaker 1: and even myself included with you know the podcast with me.
Speaker 1: This is the first time people got to hear my
Speaker 1: voice and my like what I really was saying and
Speaker 1: not filtered what they assumed, what whatever, because I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't give a lot out. But I also felt
Speaker 1: like it I needed a time to see another side
Speaker 1: because it's only one image, and I feel like vulnerability
Speaker 1: is really important, especially like the older that we grow
Speaker 1: is because like you said before, it needs everybody needs
Speaker 1: to grow and help each other.
Speaker 2: Let's go, then, let's go.
Speaker 1: You can do it.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: So stop being scared. I know, right, stop being scared.
Speaker 1: Do you have a moment that you would wish that
Speaker 1: you could relive and maybe get a do over?
Speaker 2: Man a little bit. I mean, Jesus, there's a few times,
Speaker 2: Oh man, I was gonna says a few times in Vegas. No,
Speaker 2: but but uh, you know, career wise, if you're going
Speaker 2: like the business route, there was definitely times in my
Speaker 2: last career where I would have like, I would have
Speaker 2: gone like and stood up for myself a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Whereas I didn't have the confidence back then. Maybe people
Speaker 2: thought I did, but I would have like gone back
Speaker 2: and been like no, like, let's do this this way.
Speaker 2: Had I had a music artist I worked with, and
Speaker 2: there was just a lot of manipulation from everyone involved,
Speaker 2: and I got manipulated a lot, and I just wish
Speaker 2: I could have gone back, because like this dude should
Speaker 2: have been a superstar, should have been a household name today,
Speaker 2: and there was a lot of manipulation that made it
Speaker 2: not happen.
Speaker 1: And stand up for whatever you believed and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And so I've learned as I've gotten older
Speaker 2: to do a lot more of that and like now
Speaker 2: I do it now. It gets me in trouble sometimes because,
Speaker 2: like you know, sometimes you got to tell people what
Speaker 2: they want to hear. And that's hard for me. Like
Speaker 2: even when when when I think there's a better route
Speaker 2: to stand up there and go like hmm, I think
Speaker 2: this would do a little bit better, it's tough because
Speaker 2: people don't always want to hear that. People want to
Speaker 2: hear what they kind of want to hear. Some tough.
Speaker 1: So do you have any go to strategies that you'd
Speaker 1: get to like achieved those goals like to that'll help
Speaker 1: you get to there?
Speaker 2: Well, explain this to me more talking like a go.
Speaker 1: To strategy of like maybe mantras that you do or
Speaker 1: things that you clear your mind. You like, you know,
Speaker 1: extra sase daily. Do you have like kind of daily rituals.
Speaker 2: That you do. Well, there's a couple a couple of
Speaker 2: things where you're going there. I'm a trainer now five
Speaker 2: times a week. This is all new for me since
Speaker 2: my birthday. My birthday was in September and yeah, so
Speaker 2: I've been going really hard and.
Speaker 1: Like what's changed? Like what made you do that?
Speaker 2: Because what kind of I wanted to I wanted to make,
Speaker 2: you know, I think we all have our level of
Speaker 2: excuses on what's that?
Speaker 1: How old did you turn?
Speaker 2: The people don't know that?
Speaker 1: I want to know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's hit the thing you may want to try.
Speaker 2: Why do people not know getting the truth?
Speaker 1: But why do people give you You're not it? Like
Speaker 1: that's usually I've never heard a man not give their age.
Speaker 2: Damn it. Next question, I was told that I don't
Speaker 2: have to answer everything. No, I don't know. I'm forty one.
Speaker 1: So what made you switch at that point? You know?
Speaker 1: So it's like now, I mean, you know, are you
Speaker 1: always kind of working out here and there exactly?
Speaker 2: Like fitness has always been one of those things where

Speaker 2: where I was like, let me just like do this,
Speaker 2: like financially I could. I was fine, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like, yo, you have to become a lifestyle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I know for myself I needed that level
Speaker 2: of a trainer to help me with accountability, comes to
Speaker 2: my house five times a week and just beats the
Speaker 2: shit out of me for sure, and I love it.
Speaker 2: I'm like enjoying it a lot right now and it's
Speaker 2: been going great. And uh so that that was a
Speaker 2: big change that I made. So and then the other
Speaker 2: thing is is right, I wake up every day glass
Speaker 2: half full and just like yo, as much as like
Speaker 2: the day before, I may have gotten just my ass kicked,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wake up the next day and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: try to I'm trying to work my tail off and
Speaker 2: just just win the day. Today. For example, this morning's
Speaker 2: been rough. I've just been dealing with a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 2: the food part, I'm a foodie. I'm Italian, Like I
Speaker 2: love to eat.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that, But I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a balance. That's the thing. It's like you have to
Speaker 1: either really put in the work.
Speaker 2: That's always can really eat. But straight up, it's always
Speaker 2: been a struggle for me, Like, I'm not a great
Speaker 2: balance guy.
Speaker 1: If I put pasta or some like you know, big
Speaker 1: heavy meal, you're gonna all be all in.
Speaker 2: No, I'm good. I'm like, I'm good. I'm good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm good good.
Speaker 1: So it's not that mich m gil pleasure. I mean,
Speaker 1: what is your guilty pleasure? If it was in front
Speaker 1: of your face at the table, you just couldn't resist it.
Speaker 1: There has to be some.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm obsessed with the sushi spot that I go.
Speaker 2: I've been going to for three times a week for
Speaker 2: the last five years. And you want to obsessive, you
Speaker 2: want to know that, you want to know the fucked
Speaker 2: up part about it. It's literally one minute from here
Speaker 2: and I already had my like horrible lunch that like
Speaker 2: I'm on right now. No, because I'm not going to
Speaker 2: have it because like I'm on this keto diet, I'm
Speaker 2: cutting rice right now.
Speaker 1: So you're really upset right now, is what you're saying,
Speaker 1: That you're that close and you can't have it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I totally would go, like what is second kazu? Okay, yes,
Speaker 2: hand roll bar, It's incredible. I'm obsessed.
Speaker 1: I've been there, like twice.
Speaker 2: They know me. Oh god yeah, Like that's my squad,
Speaker 2: Like that's my people.
Speaker 1: It's like your cheers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: You always get the same thing mostly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is there only Is that the only location?
Speaker 2: No, there's one in I will sure. Where are you
Speaker 2: it's it's owned by Sugarfish.
Speaker 1: This is the only one that the hand rules.
Speaker 2: One is the only one six of them. But I
Speaker 2: used to come to this one, so like I became
Speaker 2: homies with three of the managers, all of which have
Speaker 2: left by the time. I'm still my obsession keeps going.
Speaker 2: People like, you'll get sick of it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I used to go to Sugarfish like three times,
Speaker 1: like a week for lunch with my girlfriend. It was
Speaker 1: like our ritual thing. It was it get you.
Speaker 2: I got sick of Sugarfish.
Speaker 1: Me too. I haven't been in almost a year.
Speaker 2: God I haven't gone sick of it all. Like, I'll
Speaker 2: go to Sugarfish one way.
Speaker 1: They're your tone changed, I could really serious this love
Speaker 1: this love affair of yours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that.
Speaker 1: So what is your dating life? Are you single? Married?
Speaker 2: I am making single single.
Speaker 1: Mingle or are you just you know, just doing your life.
Speaker 2: I'm always mingling, But I'm single.
Speaker 1: How do you find time to mingle if you are
Speaker 1: with all these businesses that you have going on? I
Speaker 1: mean dating apps?
Speaker 2: Are you you know, I've been on a few of them.
Speaker 2: Dating apps?
Speaker 1: Are you swiping?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: So how here's one of the.
Speaker 2: Reason I'm on dating apps? Right? So social media is
Speaker 2: a wild thing, right, And I think the perception on
Speaker 2: social media is rough because like a woman, especially in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, may look at who I am on social
Speaker 2: and I don't know where their head goes, right, Whereas
Speaker 2: on a dating app, they have no clue who I am.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they do. Sometimes they're like, wait, is this a scam?
Speaker 2: Like is this really you? And I'm like, yes, it's me.
Speaker 2: But like it's kind of cool to just be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you just saw my photos, read a couple of sentences
Speaker 2: about me, and you still are like down to.
Speaker 1: But do you think that that's where it stops? Like
Speaker 1: do you think that people like google you or like
Speaker 1: in that situation like dating apps for me, I can't
Speaker 1: do because a they think they're getting catfish and won't
Speaker 1: allow like an account anyways, or to I just feel
Speaker 1: like you're gonna look me up and like it's just weird.
Speaker 1: I'd rather meet you on like like authentically for you
Speaker 1: to just go home and figure it out, give you ammunition.
Speaker 2: AUTH is difficult right now, especially like I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm not being mingling. I can't remember the last time
Speaker 2: I went to like a bar or club and was like, hey,
Speaker 2: what was good? Like, I don't remember the last time.
Speaker 1: It's but I also think too of like it's like
Speaker 1: people are more people who are getting together people that
Speaker 1: they've already known, people like kind of been friends kind
Speaker 1: of before.
Speaker 2: And then the other problem is it's like I've had
Speaker 2: people try to set me up and that's never.
Speaker 1: That's never it like you've had a horrible setting up history.
Speaker 2: I mean I just more or less like you feel.
Speaker 1: Obligated for it to work because it's like a friend
Speaker 1: setting you up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you're like, uh, what do I do?
Speaker 1: Like now, I like, what's the worst date you've ever.
Speaker 2: Had in that in that scenario? I mean I've had
Speaker 2: some bad dates in other scenarios.
Speaker 1: But in like a setting up situation.
Speaker 2: Ah, I've just kind of like told people not to
Speaker 2: do it. So you haven't had a lot, no, not
Speaker 2: of that. I've had some bad.
Speaker 1: Dates they tell us a bad date story.
Speaker 2: I mean, I have no pro like, I just think
Speaker 2: you gotta look like your pictures and like your catfish.
Speaker 1: It replotely looking like the picture.
Speaker 2: I've been catfished a handful of times. And here's my thing.
Speaker 2: I'm super sweet about it. I will go to dinner,
Speaker 2: I have a great time. But like, to me, honesty
Speaker 2: in dating is one hundred percent the thing. And here's
Speaker 2: the thing. Like some of them, they're they're beautiful in
Speaker 2: their own way, but like, I just think you gotta.
Speaker 2: You gotta like my photos. I think if you saw them,
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, that's him. Most most women have said,
Speaker 2: like you look better than your photos. I'm like, thank you, okay,
Speaker 2: and I'm like cool, but like I just think you
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta be careful with that. And then I
Speaker 2: would say the majority of poor dates I've gone on
Speaker 2: first dates is like the moment they sit down there
Speaker 2: like asking me for social media? You help, Like, what
Speaker 2: should they do on their social media?
Speaker 1: After going on this?
Speaker 2: Like five minutes into the no, no, no, this is
Speaker 2: just in general. This is just in general, and it's
Speaker 2: like it's just a tough thing. When you work like
Speaker 2: a ten hour day you're going out and it's like,
Speaker 2: so how do I get my followers up? And I'm like,
Speaker 2: can we do this on like date four? Like maybe
Speaker 2: date five? It's it's all good, but like date five, maybe.
Speaker 1: Date So that's that's what this is the story we're
Speaker 1: going with. It's just that there's more, there's more in there.
Speaker 1: You're not telling me the goods, Like that's I mean,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, Like that's really I feel like
Speaker 1: embarrassed for them to do that on the first day
Speaker 1: because I feel like you're just stilswering through people's what
Speaker 1: they're like, what your profile is, and saying, who can
Speaker 1: help me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the worst thing that somebody like, I'm
Speaker 1: also not to get too drunk because you don't drink,
Speaker 1: So did somebody like over indulgh.
Speaker 2: That's happened. That's happened. Yeah, I mean I've had some
Speaker 2: people get drunk drunk on first dates, where like I
Speaker 2: have to like the first date. Yeah, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: here's my thing, I being a guy that doesn't really
Speaker 2: drink a lot, I'll have a shot with you. The
Speaker 2: other thing is kind of frustrating when a girl asked
Speaker 2: me like fifteen times to drink and like I'll have
Speaker 2: a shot with you and I'll be like, okay, I
Speaker 2: have one shot, and then they still just perpetually try
Speaker 2: to get me pusher. Yeah, and I'm just like yo,
Speaker 2: like you can drink as much as you want, but
Speaker 2: like me, like, let me live, let.
Speaker 1: Me live, damn it. What is your biggest pet? Peeve?
Speaker 2: Flakiness? I just hate when people are flaky.
Speaker 1: Biggest strength of yours?
Speaker 2: You didn't say that with much of you, No, No,
Speaker 2: I mean I would say my biggest strength is it's
Speaker 2: definitely being able to get back up after being knocked
Speaker 2: down so many times. And then I think compact and
Speaker 2: like really just just just really thinking of other people,
Speaker 2: like walking in other people's shoes and trying to understand
Speaker 2: how other people are feeling.
Speaker 1: Empathy nice. All right, Is there anything that you want
Speaker 1: to plug for us at private talk before we get
Speaker 1: to one of my fun favorite parts as.

Speaker 2: Anything I want to plug? No, I mean you can

Speaker 1: going to go through each one of them and get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: That's all right.
Speaker 2: You're shuffling them, I mean at least, I mean I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get them all so.
Speaker 1: I know, but I make some more you know, hearts
Speaker 1: A romantic question. Okay, would you consider yourself for romantic.
Speaker 2: I think I am, but I think it depends on
Speaker 2: the setting.
Speaker 1: What is the most romantic thing you've done for a
Speaker 1: partner since you are romantic? Okay, look there's a lot,
Speaker 1: there's a list you're filtering through.
Speaker 2: I mean, first off, I've been single for six years,
Speaker 2: so like, so you have.
Speaker 1: That, What does that mean that you do romantic? I
Speaker 1: would still say six years for summer.
Speaker 2: No, No, absolutely, I've still done some stuff. But but
Speaker 2: like my ex love Disney, and like we definitely had
Speaker 2: like some very romantic times at Disney where I would
Speaker 2: like pull out some certain stops to make Disney stops.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know, I get she'll talk about
Speaker 1: for a lifetime.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And she was obsessed with dogs and I gave
Speaker 2: her a pup and like it was a rescue and
Speaker 2: she fell in love with this dog and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: So you're a gift giver? Is that your love language?
Speaker 2: My love language on my side is touchy, but yeah,
Speaker 2: definitely it's kind of finding ways to surprise or make
Speaker 2: somebody happy through things like that.
Speaker 1: Do you like sexting?
Speaker 2: I would say I would say yes, I do.
Speaker 1: Have you ever sent a naughty pick?
Speaker 2: I mean, here's my answer to this question, because like,
Speaker 2: I love when men or women are like, I've never
Speaker 2: done that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, Like if you're like, so, you're
Speaker 1: saying that everybody's lying because they've done it at least once.
Speaker 2: I would say, so I believe that one.
Speaker 1: And I feel like men, I feel like, honestly, there
Speaker 1: are some I would say there's a grayer. I'd say, like,
Speaker 1: there's really ten percent people that probably haven't that it
Speaker 1: just would never kind of thing. But I feel like
Speaker 1: men should be more creative, Like nobody wants to see
Speaker 1: a dick pic, like not saying that you sent one.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I a hundred percent degree. One thing
Speaker 2: that has been wild from talking to a lot of
Speaker 2: women is the amount of unsolicited picks like that that
Speaker 2: they've received.
Speaker 1: I used to before I had my podcast, I had
Speaker 1: a radio show and Vivid Radio, and we we used
Speaker 1: to talk about that that I would get so many
Speaker 1: dick d picks and d my dms. I was like,
Speaker 1: I need a coffee table book. I wouldn't put who
Speaker 1: they were, but it was just literally all kinds of dicks.
Speaker 1: Now I get paid to rate what their dick looks like,
Speaker 1: so it's which.
Speaker 2: All of it, all of it's really weird to me.
Speaker 2: I just think I think that that is a wild
Speaker 2: thaw process. I was talking to a girl the other
Speaker 2: day and she was like on numerous occasions, like the
Speaker 2: first time that they were supposed to talk on face time,
Speaker 2: Andy'd be like, oh, let's FaceTime. She's just like thinking
Speaker 2: it's going to be a normal like, hey, nice to
Speaker 2: meet you, and he's just like, it's just shicks out, yeah,
Speaker 2: just straight up there, and I'm just.
Speaker 1: Like, wow, that's bold. See I don't like I like
Speaker 1: dating is difficult in general, but I have like so
Speaker 1: since I don't go on dating apps, I would never
Speaker 1: FaceTime that person. So I've never been in that situation,
Speaker 1: but that's crazy. I would be very upset, but same
Speaker 1: these like but that's just like what warnant you to
Speaker 1: want to do that, you know.
Speaker 2: I think that people I don't really I struggle to
Speaker 2: answer because that has never been That's always been like
Speaker 2: a stern.
Speaker 1: You have you sent a dick big to your girlfriend?
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you have. It's right, I got your answer,
Speaker 1: But I'm only I was thinking in my head of
Speaker 1: people i've dated, like there's only been one person who
Speaker 1: I would never thought he would have sent to me,
Speaker 1: but he did send it to you. It was the
Speaker 1: best picture ever. But nobody else has ever just unsilicitly.
Speaker 1: Me just talking to THEE.
Speaker 2: I have never sent an unsolicit But if.
Speaker 1: You're in a relationship, I feel like that's part of
Speaker 1: like your relationships. If you're sexy throughout the day or whatever,
Speaker 1: and that's not solicited, that's more like you're being sexy
Speaker 1: engaging your relationship. I'm talking about someone you're not in
Speaker 1: a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. You're just talking what people say,
Speaker 1: people are traveling things like that. I'm not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: For me, I also send the same one to five people,
Speaker 1: like I don't have no shame, like and I got
Speaker 1: paid on only fans for who's stopping me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't really do it.
Speaker 1: I've done it before, but I don't really have five
Speaker 1: people to send it to you at the moment, so
Speaker 1: only like one two maybe to get it.
Speaker 2: And I mean I would think in the circumstance of
Speaker 2: people that are dating you, I would be like pretty
Speaker 2: like frustrated to be like yo, if it's O f
Speaker 2: content like I want some different give me I've had
Speaker 2: that before me at least like a different outfit.
Speaker 1: When I dated somebody in the past, they were like,
Speaker 1: I don't want any of that only fans time. I
Speaker 1: want my own stuff. So I just literally had to
Speaker 1: do the like separate things and they would never know.
Speaker 1: But I generally did do stuff just for them.
Speaker 2: But that's awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean I could understand.
Speaker 2: But I love how. I love how you were like
Speaker 2: and you can't be doing love. I love how she
Speaker 2: was like, we're gonna go really gentle from the start
Speaker 2: and just like went straight to like a fifteen.
Speaker 1: That's not fifteen. This is my gentle Jesus.
Speaker 2: Some of this is not making.
Speaker 1: The lights on or lights off, lights on always, booty
Speaker 1: shorts are thong nothing. What would be your perfect date night?
Speaker 2: Uh, spontaneous traveling cute.
Speaker 1: Like a road trip type of thing, or just not
Speaker 1: saying you're just traveling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like yo, mimia my house, pack a bag
Speaker 2: for the weekend. God, that's like perfect. But and then
Speaker 2: like besides that, it would be just something kind of
Speaker 2: low key like cute romantic. Yeah, nice, next one, Wait,
Speaker 2: so that's like that, that's romantic?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're welcome. Jesus scared ready, hold on, that's a
Speaker 1: kinky one. I don't think you're kinky. I think you're
Speaker 1: scared to be kinky. Just kidding. I don't know you
Speaker 1: didn't say that, but favorite time of day to have sex?
Speaker 1: Hold on a minute, how did you not think my
Speaker 1: questions were romantic? We went from for a perfect day?
Speaker 1: Which question? Did you really not like?
Speaker 2: I mean, we're just gonna keep moving.
Speaker 1: You didn't like it that much?
Speaker 2: Like? Okay, sexting like dick pics are not romantic?
Speaker 1: No, but it went from sexting and then it navigated
Speaker 1: to dick pics. Some people may think that when you're
Speaker 1: in a relationship, when it's like going in a sexual.
Speaker 2: Thing, I don't think that would ever be considered romantic.
Speaker 1: Depends on what you're talking to.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess Alexis.
Speaker 1: The way to my heart is not dig pics. Guys,
Speaker 1: don't don't worry, you know, but it is a game.
Speaker 1: We have a little spicy you know, warming you up.
Speaker 1: Are you back in the saddle?
Speaker 2: Are you righty? I'm back in the saddle. I would
Speaker 2: say that everybody sees like my body language, and I'm
Speaker 2: just like Jesus, Please, none of my clients say this,
Speaker 2: so I would say, uh, favorite time, I wouldn't really
Speaker 2: say I have one.
Speaker 1: So you're just ready to go all the time. Sure,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're not gonnan to answer any of
Speaker 1: these times. Okay, this is not so bad. What's the
Speaker 1: most number of times that you've had sex in one day.
Speaker 2: And full, you know, two or three or something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go on. I can't answer you any of these.
Speaker 1: You're not going to answer them.
Speaker 2: Just just try me on a A on the next one.
Speaker 1: I don't know, most uncomfortable place you've ever had sex? Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a mild question.
Speaker 2: That's super mild. Yeah. I mean here's my thing, right,
Speaker 2: like the public thing most the question I'll even ask
Speaker 2: you back this, right, the public thing to me is
Speaker 2: like do you want to get caught or not get caught?
Speaker 1: Because that's but I think that's the thrill for some people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so for me, like I don't really have any
Speaker 2: desire to get caught.
Speaker 1: But like, but like it doesn't stimulate you.
Speaker 2: No, but somebody like watching that's supposed to be watching
Speaker 2: that can be interesting.
Speaker 1: Okay, like a like an observer.
Speaker 2: Sure, but like but like somebody like that is not
Speaker 2: but you're not doing like something random thing or someone
Speaker 2: you could possibly get caught in any like area.
Speaker 1: I'm a mile high club for you.
Speaker 2: No nothing unless it was like a private jet, gotcha. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm never flown on a private jet. So we're not
Speaker 2: We're not looking good right now.
Speaker 1: So yeah, dirty talk yes or no during Yeah, you
Speaker 1: prefer it, you don't care whatever.
Speaker 2: And I'm not like avoiding the question. It's like I'm
Speaker 2: more of like a an action visual type of person
Speaker 2: than I am.
Speaker 1: Like a have you ever been blindfolded during sex?
Speaker 2: Once again, I'm a super visual person. So for me,
Speaker 2: that just doesn't like it's not like on the list
Speaker 2: of like I want to try that same thing.
Speaker 1: You see more of like a very like essentual person,
Speaker 1: Like you're not trying to whips and chains and like
Speaker 1: do things, which is fine people don't. I mean I'm
Speaker 1: not that way myself either. It's just one of those
Speaker 1: things I feel like.
Speaker 2: You're putting Alexis, You're putting me a very difficult position
Speaker 2: because like box hold on, no, no, here's the problem, right, guys,
Speaker 2: We're just gonna we're just gonna level set right, You're
Speaker 2: gonna level set for a second. I love my company
Speaker 2: and I have a wonderful amount of employees that work
Speaker 2: really hard, and I have some really, really, really great clients,
Speaker 2: and I do have to think about if they're on
Speaker 2: the other side of this watching this, going like hmm,
Speaker 2: what did he just say?
Speaker 1: So, I don't think anything that I've asked you has
Speaker 1: been over the line. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll tell you if I answered them truthfully.
Speaker 1: Are you lying to no?
Speaker 2: I think that I'm just giving you my baseline, she answers.
Speaker 2: But what I will tell you, I'll give you a
Speaker 2: little bit of a secret. I'll give you a little
Speaker 2: bit of a secret. The last thing you said to
Speaker 2: me is completely wrong. Okay, I am not like a vanilla.
Speaker 1: I didn't think that you're a vanilla.
Speaker 2: But I'm not a vanilla at all. I don't like pain,
Speaker 2: so like whips and change, you are correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like pain in association.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like pain is not Yeah. Can I flip
Speaker 2: this and ask you a question? And it is such
Speaker 2: a weird thing to jump to the Dave port noise situation.
Speaker 2: The owner of barstool, you don't know anything about this.
Speaker 2: Oh this makes this No, that's fun.
Speaker 1: Sorry, well tell me the story. Maybe I'm horrible with names.
Speaker 2: Maybe I know he's the owner of Barstool. He's like
Speaker 2: getting crushed right now because Business Insider came out with
Speaker 2: this article about like essentially trying to get him canceled
Speaker 2: about his sex life. But there was nothing. There was
Speaker 2: nothing really in it that was at all illegal. It
Speaker 2: was just like he likes rough sex or he likes
Speaker 2: you know, he had nineteen he hooked up with nineteen
Speaker 2: year old girls, and like, there's so many people in
Speaker 2: the world trying to cancel him. And honestly, when I
Speaker 2: like him on this podcast right now, I'm like, yo,
Speaker 2: people are always searching for ways to be like see,
Speaker 2: I knew it ben da da da da da Dave
Speaker 2: da da da da. And I'm not a huge portnoy guy.
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge Barstool guy. But like my issue
Speaker 2: right now is is that a decade ago, two decades ago,
Speaker 2: before social media, you could really just be you and
Speaker 2: like it was all good because it was behind closed doors.
Speaker 2: I think what's behind closed doors now is like it's
Speaker 2: just free game. And I think that's part of your
Speaker 2: podcast and that's why you have people like me that
Speaker 2: you kind of want me on to squirm like part.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to squirm per se. No, I
Speaker 1: just want you to be open to other questions. And
Speaker 1: from my said in the beginning, anything that you didn't
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with that you have you had the option
Speaker 1: to say you don't want to say anything to. I
Speaker 1: just think you should open yourself up. And even if
Speaker 1: you're a business and myself I'm a business too, but
Speaker 1: not on your level of what you do. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, I think that there's no harm in
Speaker 1: letting people know a different side of you, a playful
Speaker 1: way total.
Speaker 2: So back to where you were going though, now, Vanilla,
Speaker 2: I love spontaneity like I love things.
Speaker 1: I think you wanted to us get this out there
Speaker 1: that he's not Vanilla. Okay, we understand.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: I feel like he felt offended by that.
Speaker 2: Not offended. I'm just like you're like.
Speaker 1: Don't put me in this box of vanilla. She doesn't
Speaker 1: give me, give me, doesn't give me at all, taken
Speaker 1: give me.
Speaker 2: You don't want to give me one more out of this?
Speaker 1: Okay, those ones aren't good for you to trust me.
Speaker 2: Spicy right, I love that word.
Speaker 1: Okay, top five porn stars? Do you have any do
Speaker 1: you watch porn?
Speaker 2: Okay, So, first off, this is I'm so glad you
Speaker 2: just asked me this last part. I was literally driving
Speaker 2: here and I was telling somebody. We're telling my trainer's
Speaker 2: brother like, yeah, I'm going to Alexis, Texas porn star.
Speaker 2: And he's like, I don't know who that is. I'm like, sure,
Speaker 2: you don't, bro, And then I was like second, I
Speaker 2: was like and I was like, yeah, yeah, she's a
Speaker 2: porn star, right, or she was a porn star. Do
Speaker 2: you would you still consider yourself a porn star? Now?
Speaker 1: I don't know the adult star than the I mean,
Speaker 1: I haven't done any adult films in over five years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I and I don't like the word retired because
Speaker 1: I just don't think I'm a former adult star.
Speaker 2: There we go, okay, but so he he rattles off
Speaker 2: what you just asked me. He's like, oh, I don't
Speaker 2: watch porn, and I'm like, come, everybody watches porn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it movies nobody's watching.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like that's why you know porn Hub and
Speaker 2: these places are worth like a zillion trillion dollars, come
Speaker 2: on stop.
Speaker 1: People like to watch and look at tanselating things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, And I think that that is is
Speaker 2: totally fine. So so back to back to my answer
Speaker 2: on that, Yes, but I am not like a You're
Speaker 2: not like you know the name based on No, but
Speaker 2: that's but that's just never been me. I would say
Speaker 2: the only time that was me was I was younger.
Speaker 2: Was Jenna Jamison like when I was like young because
Speaker 2: back then there was there was no there wasn't really
Speaker 2: like a porn hub or those types of places, so

Speaker 1: any moment in time have a celebrity of your dreams,

Speaker 2: had this question often. In right now, it would probably
Speaker 2: be There's There's It was always Rihanna for a long time.
Speaker 2: It was always Rihanna. But like I feel like Rihanna

Speaker 2: with Melby on Rayah and I was super hyped. But
Speaker 2: then she moved to London, so I never like met her.
Speaker 2: We never really kept in contact, but I was like, no, what.
Speaker 2: I just read stories about Melby and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 2: she just sounds like a vibe and sounds just so
Speaker 2: interesting and I feel like the conversations would be epic
Speaker 2: and other things would be epic too, So.
Speaker 1: I'm down for it. Maybe maybe she'll come back. You
Speaker 1: never know, You never know, you never know, all right,

Speaker 1: Like favorite place to have.
Speaker 2: Sex, go to another one, because like that's not turn off. Ah,
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna let you rattle a couple more. Big
Speaker 2: biggest turnoff would be just like people not being what
Speaker 2: they say they are, being flaky and just being like
Speaker 2: going one way then going to another.
Speaker 1: Being called out in public for having.
Speaker 2: A boner, never had a happy man. I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm totally striking out look on one of the others

Speaker 2: have you.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna ask me this, You're not gonna answer me,
Speaker 1: but you have.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: Have you ever faked an orgasm? Yes, why because somewhere
Speaker 1: Why I asked this is because I had a male
Speaker 1: friend tell me this. We were at dinner talking and
Speaker 1: he was like yeah, and I was like what that's like?
Speaker 1: Men do this. He's like, what are you thinking right now?
Speaker 1: All the men you've had sexist and then they faked it.
Speaker 1: I'm like there's no way, but he's like I stopped
Speaker 1: because I don't know what did you say? It's actually
Speaker 1: the wrong I didn't think that that could have that existed.
Speaker 2: It's it's not even really like have I faked an orgasm?
Speaker 2: Like sure, but like it's more or less. I've just
Speaker 2: like stopped and just been like, yo, it's just not work.
Speaker 2: But you said that yeah nay.
Speaker 1: People didn't say it.
Speaker 2: They just acted like they did in nicer ways, but
Speaker 2: just being like, yo, this I just don't think this
Speaker 2: is this is vibe. And I felt horrible, but like
Speaker 2: you know, your hour in it's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I've only had to tell us
Speaker 1: one person time, like what are you doing? Please get
Speaker 1: off me? This is this is not for me. I
Speaker 1: would tell you this and I and I wasn't not
Speaker 1: nice about it a.
Speaker 2: Whole nother subject, but like the amount of stories that
Speaker 2: women have told me of like just guys not caring
Speaker 2: about them.
Speaker 1: Oh that's like, I mean, I feel it like most
Speaker 1: men in they're till they're like twenty and they're late twenties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a selfish, selfish fucking going on.
Speaker 1: But yes, all right, is there any question that you
Speaker 1: want to ask me? I feel like you did the
Speaker 1: best that you could do for me, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I I feel appreciate it, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I just couldn't go really hard on you because I
Speaker 1: were suspecting your boundaries. So I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I got what I as much as I could.
Speaker 2: You know what, you know what I want to do?
Speaker 2: What do you want to do? I do another version
Speaker 2: of this if you at some point to go on
Speaker 2: like the back side of your of that like can't
Speaker 2: be recorded, and I could.
Speaker 1: Just like, didn't Kanye just say that everyone fucking takes
Speaker 1: on or whatever?
Speaker 2: I know he just said that stuff. But no, I
Speaker 2: mean I think I really enjoyed this. It's just uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: You know you're being you know, being PC.
Speaker 2: Get it, But you want to know the reason why
Speaker 2: it's not because of me, it's because the other It's
Speaker 2: because the other people that would affect. And that's that's
Speaker 2: the problem. And you know what, I hope, I hope
Speaker 2: it changes at some point, Like I hope, and I
Speaker 2: have this conversation with so many people, and this is
Speaker 2: something I would love to say. I hope sex at
Speaker 2: some point in my lifetime isn't taboo. I just really
Speaker 2: and I know, like that's what you're attempting to do
Speaker 2: when you're trying. But the screwed up part is is
Speaker 2: like it doesn't matter, like what you should read that
Speaker 2: article about Dave. And I'm not saying Dave's the greatest
Speaker 2: dude ever, but like I read through this and I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 2: this shouldn't have ever come out. He did nothing wrong
Speaker 2: in these You know, he did nothing wrong. You're just
Speaker 2: trying to smear him. And my issue is is like
Speaker 2: why does it matter? Like I am totally against mistreating women,
Speaker 2: and I think women should be treated as queens. I
Speaker 2: try to treat every woman to make her feel amazing
Speaker 2: and feel incredible. But with that being said, like whatever
Speaker 2: one decides to do in their sex life should not
Speaker 2: make a brand be mad at at somebody for what
Speaker 2: they're talking about.
Speaker 1: I agree, and I feel like it's not a personal choice.
Speaker 1: I feel like I understand what you're saying respectfully, and
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, there are things that are
Speaker 1: moving and changing, and even myself of you know, rebranding
Speaker 1: myself and going stuff you say that I'm trying to do.
Speaker 1: I have faith that I will achieve it and do it.
Speaker 2: I think you will.
Speaker 1: For me. It's I feel like it's you know, it
Speaker 1: was my choice, and if something it shouldn't define who
Speaker 1: I am. It's only a part of who I am.
Speaker 1: But I feel like there's much more to me, and
Speaker 1: that's why I have a lot of stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: with private talk going on, and I feel like we're
Speaker 1: going to be I.
Speaker 2: Mean, honestly, you're obviously very smart, intelligent, brilliant doing badass things.
Speaker 2: You're a great interviewer. And you know a person that
Speaker 2: I would would say that was this person while I
Speaker 2: was growing up with Howard Stern, who could always get
Speaker 2: stuff out of people that they'd be like, what did
Speaker 2: I just say on that interview? And I think that
Speaker 2: it's really I will admit this wholeheartedly. I said stuff
Speaker 2: on this thing that I did not think I would
Speaker 2: say and to you. I was tame, but still if
Speaker 2: you if you go look at my my social media
Speaker 2: like people will be like
