Speaker 3: you clues, three clues, and you have to guess which
Speaker 3: nick we're talking about. And the game is called Nicknames.
Speaker 3: Do you have any questions?
Speaker 4: No? I feel like the game itself explains itself.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought, Genie.
Speaker 4: You're trying to run through my brain right now to
Speaker 4: think of nicks.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't because I wouldn't. Yeah yeah, yeah, So, nick Meyer,
Speaker 3: do we have your consent to play Nicknames?
Speaker 4: Of course? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Here are your first set of clues. His real last
Speaker 1: name connects him to a legendary comic book family. He
Speaker 1: once purchased a dinosaur skull at auction. He played a
Speaker 1: historian searching for clues on the US Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 4: Nicholas Cage. Okay, well, this is difficult, right because you're
Speaker 4: saying other Nicks. But I don't call him Nick. He's
Speaker 4: not my buddy, you know.
Speaker 3: I call him Nick when I phone him.
Speaker 4: Up, and honestly that is on me.
Speaker 1: Yes, well done, all right.
Speaker 2: Second one, a fourth century bishop from Mira, inspired this
Speaker 2: global legend in Dutch folklore. He arrived by boat from

Speaker 4: Saint Nick.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pause there, alright.
Speaker 3: Yes, good old Saint Nick. Right, Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: I was a lot more worried. I thought you were
Speaker 4: going to do like real people.
Speaker 3: Well, Nick Cage, I'm sorry, Nick Cage, you are a
Speaker 3: real person, but you know.
Speaker 4: Give me another.
Speaker 3: Her image is often associated with shawls, moon imagery and
Speaker 3: witch like aesthetics. She helped turn the album Rumors into
Speaker 3: one of the best selling albums ever. Stevie Nicks and
Speaker 3: sang oh, I don't even have to.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm so sorry. I really I saw Stevie Nicks
Speaker 4: in concert. I was like nineteen years old, jealous. I
Speaker 4: was working at a tech conference in Las Vegas. For me,
Speaker 4: it was like a demonstration with like car company, a
Speaker 4: car tech company. I get off of work one day
Speaker 4: and we finish up and they're like, oh, you guys,
Speaker 4: hey kids, you guys want to go to a show?
Speaker 4: And I was like, I mean, sure, what the hell
Speaker 4: am I going to do at nineteen in Vegas? I
Speaker 4: can't go anywhere at nineteen years old. I get I
Speaker 4: get mean mugged when I try to walk with any routine.
Speaker 4: So I go to this show and they barely let
Speaker 4: me in Jabaria. No one told us beforehand that it
Speaker 4: was fucking Stevie Nicks. Oh my god, no, because they're
Speaker 4: just like, oh, this is just a sponsored ces work
Speaker 4: like whatever. And I'm sitting here going I'm with a
Speaker 4: bunch of fucking stick in the MUDs. I'm trying to
Speaker 4: yap in chat with all these people, and no one's
Speaker 4: having a kiki, No one's having a good time. And
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, Stevie Nicks walks on stage
Speaker 4: and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like Steph Nicks.
Speaker 4: I'm like, guys, do you see this too? Am I
Speaker 4: fucking crazy? And they're like they're like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 4: knew Steve it was what what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: Did we not tell you anyway.
Speaker 1: It was incredible, fucking incredible to be able to see her.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's been amazing.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 3: I know, I know her very well, and I call
Speaker 3: it Stephen Nicks.
Speaker 4: I'm more of a C C kind of guy, you know,
Speaker 4: and don't worry about it. It's like our own personal name.
Speaker 4: You're gonna say, oh, that's not really it's not really
Speaker 4: good name. And I'm gonna tell you, well, you don't
Speaker 4: know like that. Okay, run the number four. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: You don't have to never apologize.
Speaker 1: Bring on the stories. This is it, all right? Okay,
Speaker 1: there we go. Their name comes from a shortened version
Speaker 1: of Knickerbuckers. They play in the world's most famous arena
Speaker 1: in Manhattan. Their colors are orange and blue.
Speaker 4: I want to let you finish this one because I
Speaker 4: felt like an asshole last time the New York Knicks.
Speaker 1: Yes and no, you jump in whenever you know.
Speaker 6: It's all.
Speaker 4: It's not like I get points. I don't know how
Speaker 4: this thing is stored. It's not like.
Speaker 3: Technically technically the all no points.
Speaker 2: Let's see if you can go with it.
Speaker 5: Five five for five.
Speaker 2: It'll be if you get this one, all right, let's see.
Speaker 2: Its name originally referred to a type of early movie theater.
Speaker 2: It's award show once famously covered celebrities in green slime,
Speaker 2: and it's the channel that helped launch characters like SpongeBob SquarePants.
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not too sure.
Speaker 3: Voice.
Speaker 7: It wasn't allowed to watch TV as a kid, you know, Sponderbob.
Speaker 3: SpongeBob is pure.
Speaker 7: Face, absolute the depravity in that television show. Oh god,
Speaker 7: it's got a theme song. It's just just my name.
Speaker 7: A bunch of times.
Speaker 5: People must have said that all the time to you,
Speaker 5: Oh fucking god, every and well, the thing is, I
Speaker 5: love a goof and a gag, so it doesn't bother
Speaker 5: me to it didn't like, doesn't now bother me too much.
Speaker 4: But I am shocked that it still does happen, and
Speaker 4: especially from older people. When I was growing up, everyone
Speaker 4: and their mother did it. You know. It was always
Speaker 4: like he's, well, yeah, that is my name legally, Actually
Speaker 4: that's what nick. I am, the heir of the fortune.
Speaker 4: You nice to me, Come to my spider Man. But
Speaker 4: it's always a shock when I get hit with that,
Speaker 4: like especially at cafes or something like that. I'll be
Speaker 4: like a Duncan donuts in an in an airport trying
Speaker 4: to have a normal day. An older woman will be
Speaker 4: like writing the name of the cap and I'm like,
Speaker 4: you understand, it's seven am and time doesn't exist the airport.
Speaker 4: You know, when I'm at a at an airport, you know,
Speaker 4: I've already got a lot of problems.
Speaker 3: So well now they're going to call me Nick Cage.
Speaker 4: So sorry, Nicholas, not like that.
Speaker 3: You You and CC you, me and Stephen. I'm still confused.
Speaker 3: Well you'll be You'll be happy to know, Nick, that
Speaker 3: is the game is over.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: Five out of five. Honestly, I need to make these
Speaker 3: games harder. They have a go, They have a go
Speaker 3: at me for making them apparently too difficult for the guests.
Speaker 1: I think Atlas is still traumatized.
Speaker 2: For Atlas, he still gets like shipped for it online.
Speaker 3: Well, first off, there are not many people called Nick
Speaker 3: who are well.
Speaker 4: Known for a long time. Anytime you looked at my
Speaker 4: Nameick Meyer or Nicholas Meyer, and there were two people.
Speaker 4: One is American TV yes slash movie producer Nicholas Myer,
Speaker 4: and he still comes up when you look up Nick
Speaker 4: Meyer on IMDb because my ID is not fleshed out
Speaker 4: very well. Oftentimes I'll get especially when I'm doing producer jobs,
Speaker 4: They're like, oh my god, he produced fast and furious
Speaker 4: for like.
Speaker 1: Yes I did.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I was, like I think I was
Speaker 4: fifty fourteen, maybe maybe thirty. Yeah, I was like I was.
Speaker 4: I was. I was running like the navy, you know.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: I was meeting our deadlines like nobody's business, and I
Speaker 4: was the line producer. I'm sitting there budgeting. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't know how much a fucking doll cart cost
Speaker 4: or rent.
Speaker 6: Man, I can't drive.
Speaker 2: It is funny, Nick that you say that, because like,
Speaker 2: I was on your IMDb page looking at things, and
Speaker 2: it does say at the bottom it says not to
Speaker 2: be confused with. He like comes right out and says
Speaker 2: not to be confused with.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, no. I saw when they added that.
Speaker 4: When they added that, I was like me, you sh
Speaker 4: shit hot, Yeah, his page, because.
Speaker 3: I wonder if he does. Have you been on their pages?
Speaker 3: Is it on their pages as well? That'd be rude
Speaker 3: if it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to fuck with Wikipedia later today. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I read that you've been acting since you was sixteen?
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, get more or less?
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, So when did you kind of realize that
Speaker 3: it wasn't just a bit of a hobby maybe, and
Speaker 3: that you were going to actually be serious about it.
Speaker 4: How I got started with performance in general. I was
Speaker 4: thirteen up in Michigan, just north to Detroit, and my
Speaker 4: sister was a longtime singer, performer, et cetera. A year
Speaker 4: older than I am. And this is going to make
Speaker 4: me sound hilariously ridiculous, but thirteen years old, my sister
Speaker 4: a choir show and all of the after parties were
Speaker 4: at a place called Tony Island. It was like essentially
Speaker 4: a more family owned Denny's, and they had after parties
Speaker 4: for all the performances there. And I went, I'm thirteen,
Speaker 4: and I you know, traps in there. I had met
Speaker 4: a lot of the people inquire at that point through
Speaker 4: various you know, having parties at the house whatever, and
Speaker 4: I met the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in
Speaker 4: my life. I didn't know how to say a word,
Speaker 4: and usually I've always been a talker, so I was like, hey,
Speaker 4: you get fries with your burger tonight? Cool? Smooth, It's
Speaker 4: really cool. Yeah, it's good work. I want you. But
Speaker 4: I immediately walked away from that and I ran over
Speaker 4: to my sister and I go, do they are they
Speaker 4: all like that? Are they all like that? In choir?
Speaker 4: And She's like, look, man, what are you saying? And
Speaker 4: it inspired me to do a summer show choir camp
Speaker 4: hilarious and again ridiculous, But it was mostly because I
Speaker 4: didn't want to do I had to choose between doing
Speaker 4: football again and doing that, and I didn't want to
Speaker 4: do conditioning. I liked playing football, I hated the conditioning
Speaker 4: months in the summer, so instead I went to a
Speaker 4: different place to get sweaty and tired. And then yeah,
Speaker 4: I started, you know, performing at the heighs when I
Speaker 4: got into high school. Then my dad's job moved out
Speaker 4: to California when I was sixteen, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: that's where, that's where are? You know, having a gross
Speaker 4: misunderstanding of what was going to happen when I came
Speaker 4: to California. But I was blessed that when I got here,
Speaker 4: a friend of mine's dad was a talent manager and
Speaker 4: I didn't know this, did not know this when over
Speaker 4: to her house, was hanging out, chatted with her dad
Speaker 4: for like an hour and a half, and my sister
Speaker 4: and their friend were very confused. They're like, Nick's really
Speaker 4: getting along with philm that that was going on. I
Speaker 4: was in there talking to this man about my hopes
Speaker 4: and my dreams and my aspirations and my goals, and
Speaker 4: at the end of the hour and a half, Chatty goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, what do you do? You know? I'd
Speaker 4: asked him a bunch of other questions about life and
Speaker 4: none about work. I was like, you know, where'd you
Speaker 4: grow up? You know you have any siblings' what.
Speaker 6: Kind of trouble did.
Speaker 4: You get into as a kid? For one that I realized,
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I've never asked any normal questions.
Speaker 4: What do you do? And he goes, oh, I'm a
Speaker 4: talent manager And I'm like, really really cool, that's really
Speaker 4: cool man hiring telling Yeah, I was how does that work?
Speaker 4: So now to actually answer your question properly? Ro That
Speaker 4: was about when I started doing on camera at least auditioning.
Speaker 4: Started doing some minor television shows did like Investigation, Discovery
Speaker 4: a lot. I was one of the casting directors Star
Speaker 4: Children anytime they needed someone to be a murderer they
Speaker 4: called me okay, which I was yeah, yeah. Just to
Speaker 4: give context, I was about eighteen years old when I
Speaker 4: was told by a casting director you've come in now
Speaker 4: to read for like the here row. Like a lot
Speaker 4: of times I was auditioning for star football player, nice
Speaker 4: guy and whatever, and it never went well, never went well,
Speaker 4: because that's that's not my type at all. My agent
Speaker 4: manager were convinced that that was that was the line
Speaker 4: to run. And a casting director I saw three different
Speaker 4: times she goes, you understand, you look a little evil, right,
Speaker 4: And I'm like huh and she's like, no, no, no, not
Speaker 4: in a bad way. She's like, you you have like
Speaker 4: a an intensity behind your eyes that you can only
Speaker 4: find in someone who is evil. Wow.
Speaker 3: So it didn't sound by the second time she said it.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, significantly worse. And I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, so I'm evil, good, evil, bad? Nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 4: She's like, no, evil nothing, I'm not saying you are evil.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that you would play evil very well.
Speaker 4: And I walked away from that and I looked in
Speaker 4: the mirror for a long time, and that was when
Speaker 4: I decided to to close my eyes to the rest
Speaker 4: of the world and be illusional for the rest of
Speaker 4: my life. And it's gotten well, it's got it's gone
Speaker 4: fucking well. Started doing that, started streaming on Twitch just
Speaker 4: to pass the time because I was stuck in my
Speaker 4: house anyway, and that started doing pretty well, started paying
Speaker 4: my bills, which was a blessing. And then by twenty
Speaker 4: two I had been berated by multiple people saying, start
Speaker 4: doing TikTok, you're funny.
Speaker 3: To do it, do it.
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I was like, all right, that was
Speaker 4: just your mom, Yeah, that was oh, yeah, that was
Speaker 4: my mother. Oh and your mom too. I didn't know
Speaker 4: that they did a book club together. Yea yeah. And
Speaker 4: I discovered the wonderful world community support between and discovered
Speaker 4: the life I could lead, you know, in a bit
Speaker 4: of a transactional way. I give you me, you give
Speaker 4: me money. And that was a really hard thing for
Speaker 4: me to understand because I from sixteen never didn't I
Speaker 4: always had a job, a nine to five or a
Speaker 4: part time job. There was not a point between sixteen
Speaker 4: and twenty five, twenty four that I didn't have the
Speaker 4: wtube some middle of a manager telling me what to
Speaker 4: do in parking at my faith. Yeah, so I didn't
Speaker 4: understand what that was like. And I know it when
Speaker 4: I say I give them me and they give me money,
Speaker 4: it's not quite like that. It is more of at
Speaker 4: least for Twitch and then for FanHouse for a while,
Speaker 4: and then Patreon, it was a hey, you know, I,
Speaker 4: to the best of my ability to give a shit
Speaker 4: about the well being of the group of support. Obviously
Speaker 4: caring too much about the individual does make it a
Speaker 4: little parasocially, but you know, I'm like, I give a
Speaker 4: shit about you guys. You know, I show up to
Speaker 4: stream almost every single day, posting these videos every single day,
Speaker 4: and there's like there are those like first twenty thirty
Speaker 4: people that supported me that I still have in my
Speaker 4: mind every time and make a video, you know. And
Speaker 4: at this point it's been six years since I started streaming,
Speaker 4: So there are some people that have been in my
Speaker 4: stream since the beginning that you know, we've kind of
Speaker 4: grown with and they're now, you know, finished college. And
Speaker 4: I knew it was going to be a job once
Speaker 4: I was able to quit my day job essentially one
Speaker 4: of the ones that I had at twenty five, and
Speaker 4: so it around when I started Quinn. So maybe when
Speaker 4: I was twenty four. That was when it hit me.
Speaker 4: You know, I grew up. I grew up pretty poor
Speaker 4: in Iowa and in Michigan. We my mom wears a
Speaker 4: seventy hour a week waitress. My dad was in the Navy,
Speaker 4: so he was on a boat for you know, ten
Speaker 4: months of the year, and then after that he was
Speaker 4: working at a sears so for a lot of my
Speaker 4: you know, pre fourteen fifteen, when my dad started working
Speaker 4: for the military again, I I don't know. And even
Speaker 4: when he was reading for the military, work was everything,
Speaker 4: you know, there was you had nothing else but your
Speaker 4: thing that puts food on the table. So unfortunately, as
Speaker 4: much as I believed in myself, I knew I'm like
Speaker 4: you know, I'm pretty good in acting and pretty good
Speaker 4: at this. It wasn't until I could support myself started
Speaker 4: to click.
Speaker 1: That's so cool. Well a little journey.
Speaker 3: How did you.
Speaker 2: Make the leap from acting to that bridge that's Quentin,
Speaker 2: because that's quite a bridge to cross.
Speaker 4: So again, this one starts pretty young. When I was
Speaker 4: fourteen thirteen, I was really into this book series called Aragon,
Speaker 4: the book about dragons, and prior to the final book
Speaker 4: being published, I was very disappointed the book stopped because
Speaker 4: I started reading when there I think three or four,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, man, these characters aren't done. There's more
Speaker 4: of a story that needs to be told. And so
Speaker 4: I wrote the next few chapters for myself, not understanding
Speaker 4: fan fashion, yeah and what it was. So I had
Speaker 4: written these couple of chapters of Aragon, and then I
Speaker 4: was sitting there one day like, I wonder if anybody
Speaker 4: else has written any chapters about Aragon, you know, maybe
Speaker 4: somebody else felt the same way as being. And that's
Speaker 4: how I discovered, you know, a number of different websites,
Speaker 4: and so I began writing fan fiction for those websites
Speaker 4: when I was fourteen, and of course no one knew
Speaker 4: I was fourteen. I was I was loudly saying I'm
Speaker 4: I'm twenty, which no one believed by the way. Everyone
Speaker 4: was like, oh, they're eighteen, saying they're twenty, and I'm
Speaker 4: like sure, yeah.
Speaker 3: Total To be fair, it depends when you voice dropped,
Speaker 3: because that voice is deep. So if it's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh thanks, oh that man, yes, I can
Speaker 4: do a pretty good you know, automated voice voice, you know,
Speaker 4: voicemail voice. And so I was, you know, riffing on
Speaker 4: it on stream, and I jokingly like, I don't remember
Speaker 4: how the Daddy issues hotlines started or where the original
Speaker 4: idea was from, but I was doing Oh, I was
Speaker 4: on stream and I was doing the thank you for
Speaker 4: calling Nick Meyer's stream, thank you so much for coming
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah blah, and someone said, thanks so
Speaker 4: much for coming?
Speaker 6: Are you talking me through.
Speaker 4: In that voice?
Speaker 6: And I immediately.
Speaker 4: That kind of put the worm in my brain. So
Speaker 4: when I was filming tiktoks a couple of days later,
Speaker 4: I made the video. And that was back when I
Speaker 4: used to record, Like I used to post three videos
Speaker 4: a day minimum, and so I'd record six to eight
Speaker 4: at once, batch them all together, and then record, you know,
Speaker 4: post him as I could. I posted that one at
Speaker 4: seven pm, close my phone. I don't open TikTok. I
Speaker 4: used to not open TikTok like after I posted, just
Speaker 4: let it, let it sit, so I didn't become neurotic.
Speaker 4: Didn't work. Yeah, yeah, So I woke up to a
Speaker 4: bunch of comments that are like, I'm gonna suck your
Speaker 4: cock clean off. I need that. Yeah good, I need that.
Speaker 4: And the fast forward is, you know, people started tanking
Speaker 4: Quinn and my stuff eventually, you know, at first, I
Speaker 4: but I'm a negotiator at heart, the value of interest,
Speaker 4: and so at first they were like, oh, you should
Speaker 4: apply for Quinn, like there's a portal to apply, and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh wait, and they're like, wouldn't that
Speaker 4: be like really good? You know, it's it's you know,
Speaker 4: be consistent yet YadA, And I'm like, oh wait, I'll
Speaker 4: wait for them to reach out to me. And I
Speaker 4: did not a not a cockywaight at all. It was
Speaker 4: because for me, I had started doing FanHouse, so in
Speaker 4: my head, I was like, I'm already comfortable doing my
Speaker 4: payball platforms direct to listen, you know, direct to the fan.
Speaker 4: When I said I'll wait for them to come to me,
Speaker 4: it was more of a I'm not too keen on
Speaker 4: stopping doing specifically on like FanHouse or Patreon. It was
Speaker 4: not like I'm a bad bitch and they'll come to me.
Speaker 4: It was purely just I'm having fun with what I'm doing,
Speaker 4: and if I'm going to switch what I'm doing, i'd
Speaker 4: like it to be you know, I'd like, I'd like
Speaker 4: for it to come to me. I don't want to
Speaker 4: I don't want to hunt down a new job when
Speaker 4: I don't feel like I'm done with my current one.
Speaker 3: That's sort of how I felt at.
Speaker 4: That's that's how he began. And ironically it was they
Speaker 4: didn't even know about like my writing fan fiction or
Speaker 4: anything like that. They had just listened to my stuff
Speaker 4: on fan House, and I was like, you can, you
Speaker 4: can do this very well. You know, you do the
Speaker 4: director listener very well. And the rest.
Speaker 1: Is an over three million plays.
Speaker 3: You sounded like you were all like confident in yourself
Speaker 3: growing up, moving into audio erotica. You know, what's what's
Speaker 3: the story? What's the young Nick? Who was he?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: You guys want to see him?
Speaker 8: No, that sounded dodgy and expecting a picture just to
Speaker 8: pop up on Oh my god, that is another second
Speaker 8: time I've made a potentially sexual joke with no intention
Speaker 8: of being sexual.
Speaker 1: Literally like a kindergarten school picture.
Speaker 4: Oh thank god, thank god.
Speaker 3: Just just to be clear, we are looking at a
Speaker 3: picture of a young Nick, not yes.
Speaker 6: Anyway, we didn't need to clear that up.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. I have so.
Speaker 3: And you're never going on into the podcast.
Speaker 8: Are you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, yeah, no no you are this is gold?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: So going back to young Nick, Young Nicholas, Yeah, young Nicholas,
Speaker 3: were you a confident person?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say any of that confidence struck until probably sixteen,
Speaker 4: and even that it didn't like strike. I was a
Speaker 4: very goofy looking kid. I was born to and a
Speaker 4: half months early, so I was born cross eyed with
Speaker 4: a crooked smile.
Speaker 3: And oh I'm British, your teeth look amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I was, you know, born crossided, crooked smile.
Speaker 4: It was always was a very goofy kid. My parents
Speaker 4: are very goofy, very silly, very funny people. But I
Speaker 4: was the youngest of my family by a mile. You know,
Speaker 4: my cousins are all older. I'm the youngest of my siblings.
Speaker 4: So I was a very shy kid. Didn't really spend
Speaker 4: much time out about, didn't have any friends because we
Speaker 4: moved around so much as well, you know, being in
Speaker 4: my dad being in the navy, so I found a
Speaker 4: lot of solace in like video games and legos and books.
Speaker 4: So I read a lot. I was three four books
Speaker 4: a week kid until I was, you know, fifteen. I
Speaker 4: didn't get out much and having moved so much, I
Speaker 4: didn't really have firm ground to stand on, so I
Speaker 4: was always going to a new school, meeting new people.
Speaker 4: Never really got to discover that confidence. I was always
Speaker 4: like the new kid, I'm not super comfortable. It wasn't
Speaker 4: again until when I moved to California. One of the
Speaker 4: things that I really leaned heavily on was, oh, I've
Speaker 4: always hated being the new kid, but now I can
Speaker 4: just choose who to be now, you know, in a
Speaker 4: weird way, it was a what are the things about
Speaker 4: myself that I like? What are the things about myself
Speaker 4: that other people like? And I had this conversation with
Speaker 4: myself when I was moving to California. I was what
Speaker 4: do I want to leave Michigan with? And what do
Speaker 4: I want to leave in Michigan? And one of those
Speaker 4: very serious question I'd ask myself because when I got here,
Speaker 4: I didn't really know who I was. You know, when
Speaker 4: you're sixteen, you don't fucking know anything. You don't know yourself,
Speaker 4: you don't know anybody else. I was just like, what
Speaker 4: things made me feel good? What should made me feel bad?
Speaker 4: And so when I came here, I was I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I've made good friends in Michigan. I found some elements
Speaker 4: myself that I'm proud of, you know, singing, performing, acting, whatever.
Speaker 4: Let's lean on that, you know, let's focus on that.
Speaker 4: So rather than I'm an amorphous blob who likes to
Speaker 4: read and play video games, I am somebody with direction.
Speaker 4: I'm someone who wants to be an actor and will
Speaker 4: be an actor and wants to perform and will perform.
Speaker 4: And that resolution is what gave me confidence because now,
Speaker 4: no matter what anybody else thought of me, I was
Speaker 4: still something. And yeah, that's where the confidence came from.
Speaker 1: That's that's an incredibly young age to embrace that kind
Speaker 1: of confidence, like to step into I mean at sixteen,
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty five, Like, what do you attribute your ability
Speaker 1: to be able to do that at such a young age?
Speaker 4: I would die. Two things. I would say reading really helped.
Speaker 4: And also because because of my older siblings and because
Speaker 4: I was the youngest, we had a very tumultuous childhood.
Speaker 4: We had a very rocky childhood for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 4: One of the things that my siblings did was they
Speaker 4: observed the bad things that the adults in our lives
Speaker 4: would do and just kind of take it as bad
Speaker 4: and walk away from it, And for me, I saw
Speaker 4: how that hurt them. You know, they took on the
Speaker 4: weight of everything that everybody else was doing in their life,
Speaker 4: and instead I took it as like a learning opportunity
Speaker 4: of this is this is what's going to ruin your life,
Speaker 4: this is what won't ruin your life. Here are the
Speaker 4: good things I can pull away from this. Rather than
Speaker 4: just having like an end all, be all parent, who
Speaker 4: is your role model for everything, I instead went, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm going to take the good and bad from this one,
Speaker 4: and the good and bad from this one, and the
Speaker 4: good and bad from this one, from every person in
Speaker 4: my life that I could, you know, find some understanding
Speaker 4: or life knowledge from. And it led me to become
Speaker 4: a far more introspective person because I was always placing
Speaker 4: my current personhood and my actions to those adults in
Speaker 4: my life and to those people in my life. So
Speaker 4: by the time I at sixteen, I was already every mistake,
Speaker 4: every decision I was making, I would immediately go into
Speaker 4: unfortunately it was a bad thing at the time it was.
Speaker 4: I would go into a spiral of was this was
Speaker 4: did my actions align with my current morals and values? Yes?
Speaker 4: Or no? And I'd asked myself that question a million times.
Speaker 4: If I hurt someone's feelings, or I rejected somebody that
Speaker 4: asked me out and I felt bad, or if I
Speaker 4: said something rude to a friend and didn't realize, I'd
Speaker 4: constantly be asking myself, where is this align in my
Speaker 4: values and morals? So by the time I was hitting
Speaker 4: that age, I was already I was already beating myself
Speaker 4: black and blue for every mistake I made. I was
Speaker 4: already going in and diving in thinking about every action.
Speaker 4: So once I was doing that. But the reason I
Speaker 4: was able to have that knowledge is, oh, if I
Speaker 4: can hurt myself with my thoughts and my feelings, you know,
Speaker 4: if I can like make myself feel so bad for whatever,
Speaker 4: and I could also make myself feel pretty good. Like
Speaker 4: I could also at the same time control my thoughts
Speaker 4: towards a positive one. Didn't get rid of the depression,
Speaker 4: didn't get rid of the anxiety, didn't get to the ADHD,
Speaker 4: none of that. But I was able to go, Okay,
Speaker 4: there is some merit to your mind. Is you only
Speaker 4: exist through your thoughts, you you know. And that's how
Speaker 4: I got to the point where I could say, at
Speaker 4: least I can be an actor. At least I can
Speaker 4: be a performer. I want to take that.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. No, it's so good. I mean that usually
Speaker 1: takes people decades of therapy to get there.
Speaker 4: And I still struggle with it. It's not a I
Speaker 4: still have a very hard time with you know, that spiraling,
Speaker 4: that overthinking, et cetera. That doesn't change. But I at
Speaker 4: least have had the tools, I think, to chip away
Speaker 4: in it. Now it's incredible.
Speaker 3: So your confidence sort of grew and your self introspection
Speaker 3: and your growing up. Where did you find this the
Speaker 3: confidence sexually to then move into order erotica? Was that
Speaker 3: a different type of confidence?
Speaker 4: That's very that's a good I haven't thought of that.
Speaker 4: I haven't really, you know, I've thought extensively. I should
Speaker 4: say about how I got to the comfort. I guess
Speaker 4: it's less about the confidence and more about the comfort.
Speaker 4: I grew up in a very open minded household my parents.
Speaker 4: My parents, I'm not going to say, talked about sex
Speaker 4: all the time, but my parents were not opposed to
Speaker 4: us understanding how sex worked. You know, what adults did,
Speaker 4: and how to stay safe. It was. It was integral
Speaker 4: in my understanding of consent and safety when it came
Speaker 4: to sex, because I was exposed to it at such
Speaker 4: a young age. And then my brother's seven years older
Speaker 4: than I am, So I was seven when he was fourteen,
Speaker 4: and he was going through sex ed and had his
Speaker 4: first girlfriend, et cetera. So I was by proxy kind
Speaker 4: of learning all the same stuff at seven years old.
Speaker 4: And I would say that the sexual confidence kind of
Speaker 4: came from realizing also at sixteen, when I had my
Speaker 4: you know, started having my first sexual encounters, I realized
Speaker 4: very quickly that sex was just was just interest. It
Speaker 4: was interest and observation. And because I was already doing
Speaker 4: so much observation of everybody in my life, when I
Speaker 4: was having my first sexual encounters, I was like, I'm
Speaker 4: just in there with my mouth between someone's legs, looking
Speaker 4: up at them like is this good? Fun? Is this good?
Speaker 4: I just look at it and I and so when
Speaker 4: I when I finally became you know, fully sexually active
Speaker 4: as an adult, I realized how how well that perception
Speaker 4: or that you know, that observation of the other person
Speaker 4: could help with sex. So I think the confidence again
Speaker 4: didn't really come from any stroke of like, oh, I'm
Speaker 4: the I'm the best booker in the world. You know.
Speaker 4: It was more of okay, you know, if I'm able
Speaker 4: to learn how somebody works, because that's how it is.
Speaker 4: That's all. That's all sex has been in my life
Speaker 4: is I I may I may be an awful you know,
Speaker 4: I may be awful in bed for some people, to
Speaker 4: some people because like we had a one night stand
Speaker 4: or whatever, and it's all, yeah, it was awful. It
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, because I didn't learn you. I didn't
Speaker 4: learn you. I I you you have, sure you have
Speaker 4: like your your five things you always do, but I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't learn how it worked yet.
Speaker 9: Or seven five seven six seven seven seven seven seven
Speaker 9: seven seven seven seven seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The confidence isn't just this like resounding understanding that
Speaker 4: I'm the best ever. It's more of a I'm willing
Speaker 4: to learn, and honestly I've I've ren into that a
Speaker 4: lot with Quinn, you know, with once I branched out
Speaker 4: from my own personal experiences or my own stories I
Speaker 4: wanted to tell because I did my first you know,
Speaker 4: one hundred something audios with no no other input. I
Speaker 4: was writing them all or greating them all, editing them
Speaker 4: all and over the last I want to say, almost
Speaker 4: a year now, so around thirty five forty audios. I've
Speaker 4: had a co writer for a lot of them, or
Speaker 4: who helps me with specifically the premises, who will send
Speaker 4: me over scripts or ideas and stuff like that, and
Speaker 4: that has helped because one it's made a collaborative process,
Speaker 4: which I really enjoy. I love working with other people,
Speaker 4: with the team, with whatever. But truthfully, I only one person.
Speaker 4: Can you can only fuck so much on the time,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can.
Speaker 4: Only you can. The average twenty seven year old individual
Speaker 4: can only have had can only you know they even
Speaker 4: if they had sex every day, you know, eventually, like
Speaker 4: you run out of way idea that you know sometimes,
Speaker 4: like I said, you've got your five things you always do.
Speaker 4: And I realized after doing one hundred audios, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm doing this far. It was like I'm really just
Speaker 4: falling back, especially on the days where I was like
Speaker 4: rushing to get an audio and on time or something
Speaker 4: like that, and I'd fall back on writing. I'd do
Speaker 4: far less writing and much more just living out a
Speaker 4: sexual experience in my head and voicing it as I went.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, yeah, I know, I know how
Speaker 4: I am in bed now, you know, obviously because I've
Speaker 4: done the same fucking thing, the same physical act, three
Speaker 4: audios running, and I'm like, okay, guess yeah.
Speaker 3: So that was when you thought yourself, I'll probably need
Speaker 3: some help, probably need some yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 2: What was your comfort level like the night before your
Speaker 2: first audio ever dropped?
Speaker 4: My first audio was the Neighbors. It was the Strangers
Speaker 4: to Lovers Neighbors audio. Yes, yes, slat tire Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: I was nervous as fuck, But because I had started
Speaker 4: doing it on FanHouse, I don't think I was super scared.
Speaker 4: So I guess a better better answer, a better question
Speaker 4: to answer is how I felt when I first heard FanHouse,
Speaker 4: because that was I wasn't doing not safe for work
Speaker 4: stuff on FanHouse, but I was doing as close as
Speaker 4: I could get. So I had done this stranger like
Speaker 4: the Neighbor's audio to a degree with none of the
Speaker 4: explicit stuff. It was everything pre explicit explicit, and I
Speaker 4: wrote I changed the story quite a bit and made it,
Speaker 4: you know, very different for Quinn. But I knew going
Speaker 4: into Quinn, I was like I needed to do something
Speaker 4: that I've already been thinking about writing or working on
Speaker 4: the confidence going into that. I was just kind of
Speaker 4: fucking around. That was the time in my life when
Speaker 4: I was you know, doing on social media like so
Speaker 4: much as social media. It was just me like throwing
Speaker 4: a camera on for two hours and recording over like
Speaker 4: random shit until I got so comfortable that the last
Speaker 4: thirty minutes was just you know, flowing out all of
Speaker 4: the video ideas. And so with the audio audio erotica. Honestly,
Speaker 4: for a long time, the first year of doing Quinn,
Speaker 4: I didn't write a single script.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: And I still even when I like when I would
Speaker 4: do my own recordings, I don't write a script and
Speaker 4: you can unfortunately, and some of my early audios you
Speaker 4: can tell. You can tell I don't write a script,
Speaker 4: and it's hard to get card to fucking follow sometimes.
Speaker 4: So I had the conra. I was really really nervous,
Speaker 4: and I had just walked into it and I was
Speaker 4: just fucking around at the time, just throwing out seeing
Speaker 4: what hit, laying it on the wall. So I was
Speaker 4: actually I was nervous about it going out there. I
Speaker 4: wasn't super nervous making it because I was just like,
Speaker 4: you know, I've already seen what works and doesn't work,
Speaker 4: and throwing shit out on TikTok and Instagram whatever, on
Speaker 4: YouTube and just seeing if it works, see if and
Speaker 4: it fits, and then also on streaming, I was kind
Speaker 4: of doing the same thing. I'd be live for upwards
Speaker 4: of ten hours a day, so you'll get to a point,
Speaker 4: you know. I was doing anywhere from four hours to
Speaker 4: ten hours almost every day on Twitch. I was like,
Speaker 4: you get to a point where once someone can see
Speaker 4: you and perceive you for that long, you're gonna bomb.
Speaker 4: You're gonna make You're gonna say something that you think
Speaker 4: is hilarious that no one find it's funny. You're gonna
Speaker 4: say some ship yeah, and you're as you're gonna put
Speaker 4: your foot in your mouth. You're gonna be uh, you know,
Speaker 4: insensitive and stupid and silly and bad and unfunny and unsexy,
Speaker 4: and all those things are going to happen. It's just
Speaker 4: about acknowledging when they do. And so doing Quinn, I
Speaker 4: was just like, Yeah, I'm just sitting in front of
Speaker 4: my microphone and I'm trying to see what works, what
Speaker 4: sounds good, what makes me feel sexy. I'm gonna keep
Speaker 4: talking until I get turned on and then everybody else
Speaker 4: I get turned up and eventually it it. You know,
Speaker 4: we landed in a general ballpark of it works. What good? Oh?
Speaker 4: This time it is because it's because I didn't call
Speaker 4: it my wiener?
Speaker 1: Was there a Was there a moment when you realized
Speaker 1: that people aren't just enjoying your audios, but that you're
Speaker 1: actually affecting them emotionally the listeners.
Speaker 4: Mmm. My favorite Quinn comment ever, which became a running
Speaker 4: joke amongst my friends for a long time, which was
Speaker 4: ie opening in the Little Scary at the time, whenever
Speaker 4: my husband watches the game I get my nicktime was
Speaker 4: essentially the comment mm hmm. And I it was my
Speaker 4: first few months at Quinn, and I sat back and
Speaker 4: I went, Oh, my content, rather than just being something
Speaker 4: you see when you're scrolling, or that you see on
Speaker 4: a bad TV show somewhere, this is something that people
Speaker 4: are dedicating time to go listen to, that they see it,
Speaker 4: they wait for it to come out, and it's having
Speaker 4: an impact on their sex lives, whether it's someone who
Speaker 4: is filling some gaps or somebody who is enhancing what
Speaker 4: they already have. That comment was whenever my husband goes
Speaker 4: to watch the game I get my nicktime, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is a married this is a married woman who
Speaker 4: is you know, using my audios in a in a
Speaker 4: supplementary way or an anti way for it to their relationship,
Speaker 4: like maybe they'dren't getting anything they want sexually. And that
Speaker 4: was when I went, oh, this isn't just a quick wink,
Speaker 4: quick rub yep, this is potentially impacting interpersonal relationships. You know,
Speaker 4: this is a this is a My twenty four year
Speaker 4: old boyfriend found Quinn downloaded on my phone and he's pissed.
Speaker 4: You know. It's stuff like that. I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: this can this can have lengthy, you know, lengthy impact
Speaker 4: on people's lives. So I would say that was when
Speaker 4: when it clicked, like cluse pretty early.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So after that, did the relationship that you had
Speaker 3: with your own voice change when you realized how people
Speaker 3: responded to it and what it could affect.
Speaker 4: Yes, and no. I think the element of my life
Speaker 4: and that was affected was actually my sex life a
Speaker 4: bit more than anything else. With doing Quinn. Knowing that
Speaker 4: I was having this impact on other people, but I
Speaker 4: was also kind of in a way giving a piece
Speaker 4: of myself to them because so much of my audios
Speaker 4: were improv I wasn't just getting a script and reading
Speaker 4: it and depersonalizing from it. They were deeply personal to
Speaker 4: some degree. So a lot of my sexual energy was
Speaker 4: being used on these audios and it influenced my ability
Speaker 4: to kind of, you know, perceive myself in a sexual
Speaker 4: way that wasn't on Quinn. So as far as my
Speaker 4: voice goes and seeing the impact, I still don't understand
Speaker 4: sometimes about like it only being my voice. I'm like, no,
Speaker 4: it's not like just the voice. It's like they're writing
Speaker 4: and the editing and yah yah yeah, yeahda YadA. But yeah,
Speaker 4: it's uh, it's it's very odd. It definitely has had
Speaker 4: a lot of it lasting impact on my sex life.
Speaker 4: It's I'm in a good way, you know for most
Speaker 4: of most of the part. Most of the part it's it's good.
Speaker 4: But some of it is like now the whole world
Speaker 4: knows how I come, you know, especially after like my yeah,
Speaker 4: like after my Ramble audios and stuff like that, like
Speaker 4: those especially, I'm like, oh, yeah, now that these people
Speaker 4: aren't just listening to me like act it out like
Speaker 4: I'm actually doing any thing, you know. So it's definitely sound, Yes, yes, cats.
Speaker 1: And what is that like for you? And like to
Speaker 1: know that people are hearing the authenticness?
Speaker 4: That part is a little difficult because if I will say,
Speaker 4: and this is an easter egg moment, there is only
Speaker 4: one ramble audio where I'm actually getting off, but I
Speaker 4: and I will never say which one, because they were
Speaker 4: like five four or five on my Quinn. You will
Speaker 4: have to just guess. Because I've gotten so good at
Speaker 4: sounding like I'm actually getting off, you would not know
Speaker 4: either way. But the cat's out of the bag, and
Speaker 4: in the way I've given that element up, I think
Speaker 4: doing Quinn in general, I didn't have I don't know.
Speaker 4: You gotta gotta put you gotta leave the shame at
Speaker 4: the door. You know, you really do. You got to
Speaker 4: leave your shame in the embarrassment at the door. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I think the cat, I think it was out
Speaker 4: of the bag by the time I started.
Speaker 3: You know, can I ask it what won't be a
Speaker 3: difficult question, though, Why did you do a reality ramble
Speaker 3: wang where you actually came that if you were you know,
Speaker 3: what was your mindset? Why did you do it.
Speaker 4: To see what it was like? To see what it
Speaker 4: was like? I wanted to to get to get off
Speaker 4: in general. It was actually my first time exploring my body.
Speaker 4: I've never touched it before. But the answer to the
Speaker 4: yeah right page of twenty five, I finally decided to
Speaker 4: see what was going on?
Speaker 3: What is happening?
Speaker 4: What's happening? I'm feeling taller when I'm laying down. Uh right.
Speaker 4: One of the questions I had received for a long
Speaker 4: time prior to doing that ramble was does it turn
Speaker 4: you on to know that people are getting off to
Speaker 4: your audios? And the answer was always no, And I
Speaker 4: still don't. Like. It's not like it turns me on.
Speaker 4: It's more of like it makes me happy, Like it
Speaker 4: makes me feel, you know, joy, like I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: glad that I could help. It's more of like that
Speaker 4: satisfaction you feel when you help a friend move. You know,
Speaker 4: it's not like holding upen a door, because it's a
Speaker 4: little more important than just like a common act of
Speaker 4: courtesy and kindness. But it's you helped someone pack up
Speaker 4: a U haul. You know, you walk away from that
Speaker 4: that with a sense of I helped them do something
Speaker 4: that was difficult. Yeah, And that's what That's what Quinn is.
Speaker 4: It's I'm you know, maybe you don't have the best
Speaker 4: relationship with your body or your sex life where you're
Speaker 4: you're not as in tune with your ability to finish,
Speaker 4: and hopefully this helped. But the reason I did the
Speaker 4: the the actual audio where I actually did that, and
Speaker 4: why I'm going to say that you would never know
Speaker 4: which audio it is, and maybe I'm lying and saying
Speaker 4: that I actually did this is all mystery. But the
Speaker 4: real reason was I wanted to see if, like it
Speaker 4: actually was something that turned me on. You know, this
Speaker 4: the aspect of like someone is going to listen to it,
Speaker 4: And I realized very quickly it doesn't make me uncomfortable,
Speaker 4: but it also does not turn me on. Like it's
Speaker 4: not something that gets me really like really gets me there.
Speaker 4: It's like, because I had done rambles where I sounded
Speaker 4: like I was getting off before mm hmm, I didn't
Speaker 4: really like I realized it's like, oh, this is all
Speaker 4: the same feeling. It gets all the same feeling because
Speaker 4: my stories that you're listening to are my characters, and
Speaker 4: I right to the vampire that works at a blood
Speaker 4: hotel specifically made to get your blood sucked. All of
Speaker 4: that's great, yeah, but it's all still me, you know,
Speaker 4: So whether I'm actually getting off, or I'm not getting off,
Speaker 4: or I'm doing a ramble or I'm doing a fantasy story. Sure,
Speaker 4: you could be a tag listener, you only look for
Speaker 4: stuff that falls into the tanks you like. But if
Speaker 4: you're listening to me, you're listening to me for me. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so either way you're getting off to Nick a little bit.
Speaker 4: Whether or not I'm getting off doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: No, I agree. I know that I've grown sexually in
Speaker 3: my desires and what I want and my confidence and
Speaker 3: my comfortability around lots of different conversations around sex since
Speaker 3: listening to word erotica, and I would be naive to
Speaker 3: think that the creators and not doing the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it absolutely is happening. I've explored far more ironically
Speaker 4: I had. I had already like explored the S and
Speaker 4: M space and stuff like that, went to a lot
Speaker 4: of different parties and events and stuff prior to you
Speaker 4: in Quinn. That element I didn't really grow into, but
Speaker 4: the I don't know, the comfort level definitely changed. Actually,
Speaker 4: that that'll that'll be my questions has been on Quin
Speaker 4: influenced to your guys's sex lives, and I'm not asking
Speaker 4: in an imposing way or a fishing way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, oh yeah so much. Yeah, Jewels didn't know
Speaker 1: she'd liked to be spanked and call someone daddy.
Speaker 4: Welcome to the club.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you. Als enjoyed spitting now, yes much.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 2: My husband's very happy also, thank you.
Speaker 3: I've been I've been kinky secretly all my life, since
Speaker 3: I was about maybe twelve thirteen.
Speaker 4: I've known that the proclippity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I didn't come out of the kinky closet
Speaker 3: and we're open about it ntil I was fifty to.
Speaker 1: Say yeah, same, I mean I was. You know, I
Speaker 1: was raised in a very repressed household where you know,
Speaker 1: sex was dirty, Sex was bad, the people who did
Speaker 1: it were dirty. Uh, not something you talked about anything
Speaker 1: like that. Even though I kind of shook my family
Speaker 1: up when I came out as bisexual and married a woman,
Speaker 1: it was still very much like you didn't even think
Speaker 1: about or talk about people having sex, which really kind
Speaker 1: of think rattled my family because inevitably, for some fucking reason,
Speaker 1: when someone hears of someone being in a same sex relationship,
Speaker 1: all they think about.
Speaker 4: A sex all they think about it.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 4: Like it's it's the street man looking a game man
Speaker 4: going who's the top, who's the bottom, and like.
Speaker 1: A who's going and who's Yeah, it's like it doesn't
Speaker 1: there's so much more to it than that. It's like,
Speaker 1: why is that the first place you go? So so yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was quite earth shattering for my family
Speaker 1: to be like, oh my god, but wait a minute,
Speaker 1: how I'm like, you don't need to know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: certainly since Quinn and finding this community and other people
Speaker 1: who were comfortable talking about sex and listening to a
Speaker 1: variety of audios and going, oh, like we were joking
Speaker 1: with jewels, but like, I didn't realize I liked that.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't even know that other people like that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that was okay. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's opened up conversations between my wife and I
Speaker 1: that I mean, we always felt like we had great communication,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to this, I'm like, I let
Speaker 1: her listen to some audios and we're like, oh, okay, yes, sure,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's been a really important tool in
Speaker 1: the relationship. For sure.
Speaker 4: It's so wonderful thing. But I do think stuff like that,
Speaker 4: the exploration of that is the natural progression of a
Speaker 4: committed relationship, going into like the different, different dark parts
Speaker 4: of what your desire is I think is part of
Speaker 4: a truly committed relationship in the lot and an ongoing
Speaker 4: healthy one. So if it's missing that, then I'm happy
Speaker 4: to know that that is an element that's being explored
Speaker 4: with the help of Quinn. Real.
Speaker 1: Happy to hear that, absolutely, I mean, it gives you
Speaker 1: the courage and the permission rights. It's almost like audio
Speaker 1: erotica has been this permission slip for so many people
Speaker 1: that they didn't even really realize that they needed. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Like, as res people talk about
Speaker 1: long term relationships, it's like, oh, sex is the first
Speaker 1: thing to go and blah blah blah, and it's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you let it, or to your point, Nick, if
Speaker 1: you let that deepened relationship that you've better for so
Speaker 1: long be a safe place where you can then explore
Speaker 1: more or different.
Speaker 6: And yeah, just does it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's well, that's I think I think truly, you know,
Speaker 4: so happy to hear that because in that relationship, that's
Speaker 4: where you say the really weird shit you never wanted
Speaker 4: to say that talk about.
Speaker 6: That's where you talk about the.
Speaker 4: Way you humped pillows as a you know, when you
Speaker 4: were first exploring your sexual id ideation, and you talk
Speaker 4: about it, and you go, you know, I actually haven't
Speaker 4: humped a pillow in like ten years, do you know?
Speaker 4: Watching me hump a pillow? You know, like that's that's
Speaker 4: the point of it, you know, that's the point.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, mine was calling me the right school so people,
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Well that thing your partner can get one.
Speaker 1: You can get ropes up, get.
Speaker 3: The yam climbs a rope's summit.
Speaker 4: Wrong, it's an evacuation.
Speaker 6: I need to weigh out.
Speaker 3: Is there is there anything you wouldn't touch of an
Speaker 3: audio or.
Speaker 4: You know, there are the guidelines on Quinn. But I
Speaker 4: also I have I have a very strong moral foundation
Speaker 4: when it comes to what I create and just how
Speaker 4: I engage with the world. I mean, just in general,
Speaker 4: I'm not I don't laud myself is the most morally
Speaker 4: sound or like the best person ever or anything like that,
Speaker 4: or the kindest whatever. It is just strictly that I
Speaker 4: have my my little rules, and when I break my
Speaker 4: rules or somebody else breaks the rules, that like, not
Speaker 4: that I'm imposing on them. I'm like, oh, why would.
Speaker 3: You do that?
Speaker 6: Like, you're not supposed to be a bad person, You're
Speaker 6: supposed to.
Speaker 4: Be a good person. So with audios the same way
Speaker 4: where I I don't, I don't touch a lot of
Speaker 4: the common tropes in porn, in modern current porn, So
Speaker 4: I stay far away from the step. This step that
Speaker 4: I stay very far away from. That's oh yeah, Actually
Speaker 4: another big one. This is a very commonly requested one
Speaker 4: on spaces that don't have guidelines, is like stuff with
Speaker 4: C and C and everything like that. There are certain
Speaker 4: things that as a creator, I can never get consent.
Speaker 4: I don't get consent for my audios. The consent I
Speaker 4: get is somebody clicking on it and listening to it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there are certain things that you can never really prepare
Speaker 4: someone for. You know, you couldn't prepare them for that,
Speaker 4: even with a title and a tag, You can't prepare
Speaker 4: them for the feeling that they have or how I'd
Speaker 4: do it right. So I would never do something that
Speaker 4: is so deeply complicated and potentially messy as C and
Speaker 4: C or as you know, anything like that. So I
Speaker 4: think that's pretty that's that's a hard line that I
Speaker 4: can think of. Off the dome, you know, off the
Speaker 4: top of my head. But other than that, I'm kind
Speaker 4: of a I almost missed doing personal audios because back
Speaker 4: when I was on FanHouse, you know, I was doing
Speaker 4: individualized on a Patreon because I kind of got yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: So I used to do and I still I still
Speaker 4: do at times, Like you know, there are some people
Speaker 4: that I still that like still reach out every now
Speaker 4: and then they're like, hey, can I get an audio
Speaker 4: of this? And I'll still do it because I'm not
Speaker 4: interacting with them as fans. It's like an invoice and
Speaker 4: receipt and I'm like, a, here is Yeah, here is
Speaker 4: your eight minute audio of me doing some shit that
Speaker 4: I'm never gonna I'm.
Speaker 1: Never I was gonna say. You've done both MF and
Speaker 1: MM audios. So from a performance standpoint, does the dynamic
Speaker 1: change at all for you with the way that you
Speaker 1: approach the character or the energy of the scene.
Speaker 4: I try not to let it because I do like
Speaker 4: the you know, homogenization of the genders, you know, this
Speaker 4: idea that everyone you know can be the same and
Speaker 4: is the same. At the same time, though, I'm realizing
Speaker 4: in making my MM audios, the people who enjoy m
Speaker 4: m audios on Quinn have a different goal in mind
Speaker 4: potentially in this this is a broad assumption, so I
Speaker 4: guess I'm painting with broad strokes here. But if you
Speaker 4: are a masking individual or a man on Quinn looking
Speaker 4: to find mm audios, maybe you have a different like
Speaker 4: I feel like, maybe they have a different idea of erotica.
Speaker 4: But for the most part, I don't take the approach differently.
Speaker 4: You know, I've had I've had sex with women, of
Speaker 4: had sex with man of had sex with everybody, so
Speaker 4: like not everybody ever, But I was going to.
Speaker 6: Say every yea, yeah, yeah, I didn't. You're like, I didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't remember what I said, only only only.
Speaker 4: So much sex. Okay. Coming to terms with my sexuality
Speaker 4: and my gender was was kind of like a Floodgates
Speaker 4: moment where I'm like, oh, I've got to I've got
Speaker 4: to go find out exactly what I like from everybody.
Speaker 4: So I but ultimately I realized in those experiences the
Speaker 4: times where I was expected to take a different approach
Speaker 4: actually made me more uncomfortable. And I understand everybody's different.
Speaker 4: So I would say I approach every sexual encounter with
Speaker 4: a new person differently anyway, you know, gender included or not,
Speaker 4: you know y. So for me, it was never like a, oh,
Speaker 4: this person uses specific pronouns, so I have to approach
Speaker 4: it differently. It was more of a I'm already it
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. I could go to two different women who
Speaker 4: both identify as SIS, who both you she, her and
Speaker 4: I am in completely different ballparks. Baby, I'm I'm with
Speaker 4: one that Yeah, I'm with one that's scared of getting
Speaker 4: head because of something that her boyfriend from five years
Speaker 4: ago said. And I have another that is that is
Speaker 4: suffocating me for three hours. You know, so already I'm
Speaker 4: in a different situation. Yeah, I'm gonnapproach it differently, but
Speaker 4: that's because you are a different person, not because have
Speaker 4: a different leaning. I will say the typical like West
Speaker 4: Hollywood gay, like the very common when you imagine like
Speaker 4: a cis white gay dude. There are those situations can
Speaker 4: be a little tougher because it does, you know, it's
Speaker 4: a lot more judgement It could be a little more judgmental.
Speaker 4: They care a lot more about your physical rants, you know,
Speaker 4: et cetera. It's a lot more like I'm you're nervous
Speaker 4: to take your shirt off because you're like, are you
Speaker 4: about to fucking notice everything?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You better be ripped.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, but again I'm painting with broad strokes.
Speaker 4: I think I don't approach differently. I just approach it
Speaker 4: differently in the way of every audio is different, every
Speaker 4: section en counter is different.
Speaker 3: I think that's exactly how it should be. It's not routine,
Speaker 3: is it. I mean, like you said, everyone's got their
Speaker 3: five things.
Speaker 4: I didn't know, by the way, that was an arbitrary number.
Speaker 3: I was trying to think when you said it, I
Speaker 3: was like, you do that, Oh, I already got the three.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: I was actually going to say, it's more likely two
Speaker 4: or three for me, Like I got the three. That
Speaker 4: that like, you know, most people would enjoy, and you
Speaker 4: always enjoy, so like if you roll the dice, you're
Speaker 4: like ninety percent of the time you're going to like.
Speaker 3: Somebody gave you some really good critique and they was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I love that, or they know one
Speaker 3: of one of their friends said oh I heard from
Speaker 3: you did that and they were like, yeah, you go,
Speaker 3: well that's in my back.
Speaker 6: Then then you go every single time.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm checking this on every player I'm.
Speaker 6: This is this is in my carry on oscar moment exactly.
Speaker 2: I love that you were actually trying to figure out
Speaker 2: I know, that's so funny.
Speaker 3: That's so funny.
Speaker 2: That is I can only imagine we're like all having
Speaker 2: this cond Like I.
Speaker 3: Think if I go back on the recording, I think
Speaker 3: I said there's five. Really in my defense, I'm submissive,
Speaker 3: So I have you know mine's like yes, sir, No, sir?
Speaker 4: Really do I say that?
Speaker 8: Do I know?
Speaker 3: Do I brat or do I comply?
Speaker 6: There?
Speaker 9: You go to.
Speaker 1: Stuck on the five.
Speaker 3: Didn't you turn down an AI job and cost your
Speaker 3: and like walked away from your agency?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So, oh mind I spend a year now. So
Speaker 4: last year I was with a talent agency for a
Speaker 4: while that at first it was for on camera commercial
Speaker 4: and then it transitioned over to voiceover commercial as well.
Speaker 4: And in that process I had gotten a few auditions
Speaker 4: from them for voiceover, not many, but a couple, and
Speaker 4: then they sent me a job pretty much a job offer.
Speaker 4: It was pinning for machine learning voices, etc. That was
Speaker 4: paying one hundred k they said upwards of one hundred
Speaker 4: and twenty minimum like ninety and it was for a
Speaker 4: month of work forty hours total of audio, which is
Speaker 4: nothing in the grand scheme for one hundred K. And
Speaker 4: that is just to clarify I was. I am not
Speaker 4: in the position where I could turn down one hundred
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. I don't know, if any I don't know.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine a world where I could be in
Speaker 4: the position to turn out one hundred k. It was
Speaker 4: a very obviously an AI leading job, and I just
Speaker 4: expressed my disinterest or my worry to my agency. I
Speaker 4: was like, you know, I don't really want to do
Speaker 4: an AI job, thank you so much. And it was
Speaker 4: just at the time, I thought it was just an audition,
Speaker 4: So I'm like, yeah, I mean, who would have known?
Speaker 4: Who knows if I would have booked it anyway, I
Speaker 4: just would have potentially gotten it. Yeah, And they were
Speaker 4: toward it and they said, you do realize that this
Speaker 4: is about one hundred k. Your voice wouldn't even be distinguishable.
Speaker 4: You don't even know what the project is. We have
Speaker 4: someone working on this. We can't divulge the name. Name
Speaker 4: says that if you are turning down a high five
Speaker 4: figure to low six figure job, then you're probably with
Speaker 4: the wrong agency and then plane and simple. If for
Speaker 4: a buyout of I'm actually this one, I'll actually fully
Speaker 4: read plain and simple. If for a buyout of high
Speaker 4: five figures low six figures, are willing, you are willing
Speaker 4: to sell your voice, which is not like your face
Speaker 4: or your voice with your name attached to it does
Speaker 4: not impinge which let's talk about the interesting vocabulary does
Speaker 4: not impinge on your earning game any way, Nor did
Speaker 4: you have a did you call to have a discussion
Speaker 4: to hear my logic or point of view? They didn't
Speaker 4: call me, Then I am the wrong agent for you,
Speaker 4: and you should seek another one and we should part
Speaker 4: ways amicably. Dude, you're smart guy. I'm using that you're
Speaker 4: smart guy, but you are still a smart young guy,
Speaker 4: and you truly have to learn to pick your battles.
Speaker 4: I have been nothing but patient and since I signed
Speaker 4: you and you've produced. It's that he goes on to
Speaker 4: say that I've done nothing to support my ownself. Myself,
Speaker 4: there's true, but anyway, just laid into me. Yeah, and wow,
Speaker 4: any level of respect that I had for the agency
Speaker 4: immediately evaporated because the whole the only thing you as
Speaker 4: an actor had, like the only thing you can do
Speaker 4: as an creative is say no, that's the only thing
Speaker 4: we have because we don't get to choose once we
Speaker 4: say yes. We don't get to choose where our art
Speaker 4: goes anymore because nine times out of ten we've sold
Speaker 4: it to somebody. So for me, like even Quinn, right, Quinn,
Speaker 4: they own my audio and perpetuity on contract. I am
Speaker 4: a in perpetuity creator, so they have it forever. So
Speaker 4: for me, the inability to accept and know from a
Speaker 4: client showed me. I'm like, oh, you don't understand what
Speaker 4: we're doing here because I am saying no despite the
Speaker 4: fact that one hundred thousand dollars would change my life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a retiring and sitting there doing audios
Speaker 3: without no worrying about the bills being made.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So that is how it came down to.
Speaker 3: Did you have people from within the voice acting community
Speaker 3: reach out to you and say, well, don't mate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So a lot of good friends of mine did,
Speaker 4: and I ended up getting signed with a really lovely
Speaker 4: management company voice acting Management Company because of it called ACM,
Speaker 4: who's been wonderful and to getting my auditions and helping
Speaker 4: me find work. And then I spoke to NAVA, which
Speaker 4: is the North Americano act Voices Association Voice Actors Association,
Speaker 4: and it's for protection of voice actors because there's not
Speaker 4: a specifically voice accer union. I've met some wonderful people
Speaker 4: through it, and I've been able to get into some
Speaker 4: extra doors that were closed forget AI.
Speaker 3: What would you like to see as a change within
Speaker 3: the audio erotica space as a whole.
Speaker 4: God, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: We do have them occasionally.
Speaker 4: They've been pretty good. As much, they've been pretty good.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Edit that in Yeah, Yeah, do I need a smudgey
Speaker 4: You have wonderful interview questions?
Speaker 3: I think God, class class Daniel embarrassed me.
Speaker 6: What did we just become best friends?
Speaker 4: Yep. I'm also just vamping until I think of an
Speaker 4: answer on what I want to change. I think right
Speaker 4: now is I'm not going to say more money. I
Speaker 4: actually think I'm going to say I'm going to say
Speaker 4: like some sort of like unionization or support. You know
Speaker 4: that that's a that's a dangerous thing to say. It's
Speaker 4: like unionizing and everything like that, and I I'm not
Speaker 4: going to say that I think that is the current
Speaker 4: answer or anything like that. Yet. I just think think
Speaker 4: some more transparency amongst creators for companies like Dipsey and Quinn.
Speaker 4: So you know, kind of know what you're getting into.
Speaker 1: Shall we go to some listener questions?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So the first one is from miss Reagan Moore. This
Speaker 1: is their handles that we're using. What do you think
Speaker 1: is the hottest sentence you've ever said on Quinn?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, this question was asked during the Actors and
Speaker 4: Actors thing and it's something that I have enjoyed and
Speaker 4: it gets quoted. It got quoted a lot for a while,
Speaker 4: which was I hope you know I love you or
Speaker 4: I like you, because what I'm about to do for
Speaker 4: the next hour is going to make you think that
Speaker 4: I don't or feel like I don't.
Speaker 1: I think jewels I've seen that please smudge is very excited.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I mean that line would just flow me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is ironic because I said that in an
Speaker 4: actual encounter, as actual encounter of mine, and I had
Speaker 4: walked away from that and I went, is it wrong
Speaker 4: if I wrote this down?
Speaker 3: That's not no, No, you need you need to share
Speaker 3: things like that with the world. Don't be selfish.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The next one is from She's Orange How did you
Speaker 2: figure out that you can do so many accents?
Speaker 4: Didn't have many friends growing up.
Speaker 6: No, it was it was so you pretended to be
Speaker 6: the move from different everybody.
Speaker 4: I'm well traveled. No, it was I don't get songs
Speaker 4: stuck in my head that I do, but I typically
Speaker 4: get quotes stuck in my head, you know, like how
Speaker 4: somebody says something or what somebody says. So if I
Speaker 4: would hear somebody say something in an accent, it would
Speaker 4: play over in my head like three hundred times a day,
Speaker 4: an hour, really it would. It would be like a
Speaker 4: song getting stuck in your head. So instead of it
Speaker 4: being like mud stuck in my head, instead I have
Speaker 4: like I'll be back, you know. So it would get
Speaker 4: stuck in my head so much and I would start
Speaker 4: like vocalized it to get it out of my head.
Speaker 4: You know. It's like how you have to sing a
Speaker 4: song to get out whatever. So I started doing that
Speaker 4: with the voices and on a whim, like I just
Speaker 4: started for my kind of self entertainment. I would do
Speaker 4: different accents. I like, again a British accent before I
Speaker 4: understood the regionality of the UK and all the different
Speaker 4: accents up and I'm like, I'm doing a received pronunciation
Speaker 4: British accent. Welcome back to the BBC today. We're going
Speaker 4: to be discussing how fat my fucking ass is.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, well it's really done.
Speaker 4: That's my job, guys.
Speaker 3: I know, but I just thought you were lying no.
Speaker 3: Next question by writer k Chase, When and why did
Speaker 3: you start beginning your audios with your unique introductions.
Speaker 4: It's been I have not done intros in a long time.
Speaker 4: I missed those. I missed this a lot. I at
Speaker 4: the time, I hadn't been listening to many Quinn creators.
Speaker 4: I didn't listen to any. I think at the point,
Speaker 4: like id like listened to some at the beginning to
Speaker 4: kind of get a general idea of what people were
Speaker 4: getting up on there. Oh oh it was. I think
Speaker 4: it started because I was doing a transition between like
Speaker 4: the intro where they like met outside or at a bar,
Speaker 4: and then to where they were Oh that, yeah, it
Speaker 4: was one of my bar audios. We met at a
Speaker 4: bar and then we went home. But I didn't know
Speaker 4: what to do for that transition, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'll do a like, I'll just do like an intro.
Speaker 4: I'll do a filler, like a filler intro royalty free
Speaker 4: intro music into They're welcome back to this. This is
Speaker 4: called Quinn Gas the outro of. I hope you enjoy it.
Speaker 4: Now go clean up or whatever I want to.
Speaker 2: I'd have to bring him back.
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know what.
Speaker 4: He twisted my arm and it was funny because then, uh,
Speaker 4: then Noble does intros now, I think right, because they
Speaker 4: talked about like the what he drank zac pernactress to
Speaker 4: walk at his web web like he does like an
Speaker 4: intro thing and it's like a tag all the time,
Speaker 4: and I saw because of that, I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: let me like instead of doing the intros, I tried
Speaker 4: like I took it. I took some inspiration from him
Speaker 4: where I'm like, already do the intros. Let me instead
Speaker 4: try doing like a teaser for the sex. I guess.
Speaker 4: So I did that for a few audios. I didn't
Speaker 4: enjoy that very much, but it was mostly because I
Speaker 4: got a bunch of comments that were about exposition. They're like,
Speaker 4: all right, we get it, get to the fucking So
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, if I put like a little bit
Speaker 4: of the fucking first, then I can tide you over
Speaker 4: and you know what you're waiting for. Damn, there have
Speaker 4: been many Yeah, get to the pull that thing out,
Speaker 4: pull that thing out, let's get let's get to the business.
Speaker 4: Let's get to business.
Speaker 2: Put your pants still on, take off your pants.
Speaker 4: I want to see if that shine You're not.
Speaker 3: Okay? Okay?
Speaker 1: From Lindsey goth Heart, what is your favorite thing about
Speaker 1: voicing erotic audio and when might we get that Nick
Speaker 1: and Hector collab.
Speaker 4: That's a good question. My favorite thing about it is
Speaker 4: I'm one of them, is consistency. I'm able to always
Speaker 4: be making something new, and I'm always able to write
Speaker 4: more or record more. I'm always I'm keeping my muscle
Speaker 4: toned and worked. The other thing I like about it
Speaker 4: is the emotional impact that I'm able to have. You know,
Speaker 4: when I was growing up, I want to be a doctor.
Speaker 4: So I was in pre med in high school. I
Speaker 4: wanted to go you know, I was taking physics. In college,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm gonna I'm taking biology. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: going to be a doctor. Because I really wanted to
Speaker 4: help people. I wanted to leave elastic impact. One of
Speaker 4: the things was I realized I could have elastic impact
Speaker 4: with the art is well well, because I would be
Speaker 4: leaving a movie theater and going, oh my god, that
Speaker 4: movie changed my life. I kind of want to be
Speaker 4: able to do that. So with Quinn, I feel like
Speaker 4: I skipped a couple of steps in the Yeah, I
Speaker 4: don't have a movie on a big screen in the
Speaker 4: movie theater, but I am leaving last impact and that's
Speaker 4: a blessing. As for the Hector collab, it is so funny.
Speaker 4: Hector and I we chat every now and then. We're
Speaker 4: just in different time zones. We're just busy. We're both
Speaker 4: very busy. Yeah. But you know what, after this airs,

Speaker 4: the morning because my voice is still warming up. So
Speaker 4: I'll drink like a hot coffee and then a hot water.
Speaker 4: That's typically the start. That's how I start wearing at
Speaker 4: the voice. I talked to my dog a lot to
Speaker 4: wake the voice up. So cute to dog, I know,
Speaker 4: so cute. He's such a sweetie. And yeah, other than that,
Speaker 4: I do a lot of a lot of writing for
Speaker 4: some other stuff I'm working on right now, a lot
Speaker 4: of meetings and getting into the producing side of things.
Speaker 4: So I'm producing a film right now. And so right
Speaker 4: now that's been my day to day is just sitting
Speaker 4: in meetings and discussing casting and do.
Speaker 3: You need a white British woman. You don't have to
Speaker 3: answer now, it's fine. You don't have chance now. And
Speaker 3: I'm happy to audition.
Speaker 4: It's wonderful. I look forward to it. I look forward
Speaker 4: to see your radition.
Speaker 1: Tell us more about the project you have going then
Speaker 1: we can just skip into that.
Speaker 4: For a moment. Yeah, yeah, So I have a couple
Speaker 4: working on a show that's been in development for a while.
Speaker 4: It's that this one's my own personal thing. It's a
Speaker 4: D and D show that has been in the works
Speaker 4: now for a bit. The pilot's been shot. We're just
Speaker 4: pitching it around right now. But the film that I'm
Speaker 4: working on is just a little quiet. It's a it's
Speaker 4: a nice little hour long short film that a buddy
Speaker 4: of mine was developed and then I helped her find
Speaker 4: some funding and so I came on as the executive producer.
Speaker 4: But I've produced now. Yeah, I helped produce a few
Speaker 4: music videos, including like fondest music videos last year and
Speaker 4: year before. So once that started, I realized I've always
Speaker 4: been the Noah guy. Guy always happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the common tropes, or one of the common
Speaker 4: themes online and social media was what the fuck is
Speaker 4: Nick Meyer doing there? Because I well, like when I
Speaker 4: first started doing social media, I very quickly met a
Speaker 4: lot of people because I never really said no to gatherings.
Speaker 4: I'm very quick to adapt to social situations. It wouldn't
Speaker 4: be hard to meet a lot of people. Whether or
Speaker 4: not we're like friends or more than like just acquaintances
Speaker 4: is to be decided. But for a while, yeah, it
Speaker 4: was like like when I was doing stuff for market Plier,
Speaker 4: It's like, what the fuck is Nick doing there? When
Speaker 4: I did stuff for Hot Top Victor like, what the
Speaker 4: fuck is Nick doing? You know? And then when I
Speaker 4: did that fucking social media shot would give me no money,
Speaker 4: they were like, what the fuck is doing there?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: That just kept it kept happening, and it's it still
Speaker 4: happens to this day. Is why is Nick there?
Speaker 3: And then you end the day chilling on a sofa,
Speaker 3: cuddling the dog, playing a little magic caffering whatever it is,
Speaker 3: some card game that.
Speaker 4: I don't know about magic caffering. I like that. I
Speaker 4: like that. I like you with the accent a lot more.
Speaker 4: I think you should be the voice of it. Job
Speaker 4: done done. It would ready be in my movie What
Speaker 4: the He?
Speaker 3: Now? Can I say I'm a voice actor now though?
Speaker 3: Because I'm not done anywhere, I'm not doing.
Speaker 4: You can to me. I'll believe.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you, Nicholas.
Speaker 1: So, the final question we like to rap with when
Speaker 1: we chat with our guests is how do you define
Speaker 1: sexual freedom?
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good question. Sexual freedom is the is
Speaker 4: the ability to me to do what my body and
Speaker 4: my mind once, So every fantasy, every idea. I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm able to act out those things, but I'm also
Speaker 4: I feel safe enough to do so. So that's with myself,
Speaker 4: with other people, et cetera. So the ability to have
Speaker 4: a pure brain body connection with no fear.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out with us for
Speaker 1: as long as you have.
Speaker 4: This has been so oh I know, I look down.
Speaker 4: I was like, it has been almost two and a
Speaker 4: half hours.
Speaker 3: Has it been that long?
Speaker 1: Gone by so fast?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, what I'm hearing is we wore you out?

Speaker 4: It's it's so I just I appreciate that a lot.
Speaker 4: I've had an absolute blast. I think this is another
Speaker 4: little side. One last thing, So, I recently joined a
Speaker 4: book club. I helped start well join a book club
Speaker 4: that a couple of musician friends of mine started, and
Speaker 4: it was spurred on by the fact that they they said,
Speaker 4: we feel stupid, you know, in the in the monotony
Speaker 4: of life, not not actually like in the monotony of
Speaker 4: life and you're going to parties and you're talking to
Speaker 4: like in this world, it's like you're talking to an
Speaker 4: actor or a musician and you're just having a bunch
Speaker 4: of nothing conversations, nothing of substance. I have the time
Speaker 4: for it. Like not diving deeper into your own thoughts
Speaker 4: and how their people feel. It starts to dumb you
Speaker 4: down a little bit. Yeah, and so I started joined
Speaker 4: the book club to kind of resist that quite a bit.
Speaker 4: Nice and I would The reason I mentioned it is
Speaker 4: I was going to say, this conversation has been very
Speaker 4: lovely and stimulating, very so I appreciate you saying that
Speaker 4: I'm brilliant.
