We go back to the RV and, you know, we pick up where we left off. And I've been there over the little kitchen counter there and pull her thong panties to the side and I start fucking her. And I'm fucking her for maybe a few minutes and a guy bust in the door. And he goes, what the fuck's going on here? That's my fucking wife. Dude, I'm, you know, my heart stopped. I know before I could even say anything, he starts laughing. He goes, oh, I don't give a fuck.

rode the bikes around the neighborhood capture the flag all that stuff so I don't I don't have any hangups on the actual childhood I mean yeah it sucks my dad passed away I mean no I meant the Orlando do you mind me mention or oh no yeah so no because even when you told me about Orlando you were like you know typical you know typical childhood my father that you know my father okay so I was like that's not Typical. So yeah, no, you're right. So before my father had passed away, I guess he had a, not I guess, he did have an affair on my mother. And I had a half black brother named Corey that played professional basketball in Europe. And he lives in Orlando. So when we're done with this podcast, you're going to see him. I'm going to go to Orlando and go have an early dinner with him before I fly back to Vegas. So that'll be the first time I meet my, my brother Corey. So I'm literally, I'm looking forward to meeting him. Well, how did you end up finding that out? So this is a reason. thing that you figured this out right so i've known i've had him as a brother for like maybe a little over a year maybe two years now we've see he uh uh my real biological i've they're both biological but my brother that i my older brother that i grew up with brent had found out about him and

they had connected and then through that he had reached out to me cori reached out to me on facebook and uh he actually saw my soft white underbelly interview and uh reached out and thought, well, man, you live the wild crazy life. You're a stripper, you know. And I was like, you're the professional basketball player. I was like, this is cool. So I remember him saying he lived in Florida, and I had booked some, some podcast to come out here.

And he's like, I was like, you're in Orlando. It's like, I'm in Orlando. So I'm able to come out, promote the book and also meet my brothers. So it's been, it's been awesome. What was the other, what was the other podcast you were on? I did. So in Orlando, there's a guy named Brent, who has the Wet Slat podcast. and uh wet slap the sweat the wet slap podcast okay yeah is it is it just youtube is it

is it because you showed me a tic talk he has it all he's like uh instagram rills uh youtube and ticot so he has he's got the whole thing right let me see here mike no no white guy that is a white guy were you show him oh yeah so you were pointing me i was looking at logan i was looking at logan paul in the black no yeah that's definitely him that's brant yeah okay okay how was that podcast He sucked. No. No, Brandt was great. He had nothing but good things to say.

Brant Lincoln. He's got another channel too, a small, another small channel. Yeah, so he's got a good podcast thing going on. I actually was turned on to him through TikTok, the TikTok shorts. Okay. It seems like TikTok's the way to go these days, man. Yeah, yeah, sometimes like hit or miss, you know. Exactly.

So, all right, so how did you end up? So you were in Indiana, regular just going about your, life, how do you end up jumping from that to being a male stripper? Like, I mean, did you go to college and did it, no? No, I, believe it or not, humble beginnings, like I said, I get nothing but, you know, love for my childhood, but, you know, my mom and I never got along. I got kicked out of my house when I was still in high school. Right. So there was like a time of my life where I was sleeping on friends' couches and stuff. And my older brother, Brent, aka the big stud back in Greenfield Indiana. Shout out to Brent. He took me in. I was staying in one of his spare bedrooms at his

house in Greenfield, Indiana, and I used to work at Taco Bell. I used to walk to work to Taco Bell and walk back. And I know I sound like such like a, how old were you? A grandpa thing to say. I walked uphill mile back, but no, I walked a mile there and a mile back. I was a, let's see here, that would have been around. I was like 18, 19 years old. Okay. And so, uh, stay with him. And then I had a, uh, left Taco Bell and started working for this, uh, paper goods, uh, warehouse, backbreaking warehouse work at Bunzel. That's why I always like to, you know, you've heard. of this magical guy named Mike, well, I'm the real thing. I'm Magic Mason. But no, I went from Taco Bell to working shifts at Bunzel and I literally, Matt, I just wanted to find a way

to meet chicks and keep the party going. That's literally where my heart was. And I was like, a turning point in my life when I was working at Bunzel was the paper company. I remember I, I worked a night shift. It's got day shifts, night shifts, right? Warehouses. I come in to work one day and I'm 21 years old at the time and they are celebrating this guy's retirement. He'd worked 35 years at Bunzel. And I remember walking

in and I see a cake and all this stuff and I was an alcoholic big time at the time. I was always drinking and not in a happy way. I was very unhappy. And I remember where you used to smoke cigarettes I would go in the back of the warehouse you got this back door and to be by myself.

I remember thanking them. I was crying drinking my vodka bottle smoking a cigarette. because it hit me. I was 21 at the time. The guy was spending his 35 years, and I remember thinking, this guy has been at this company 14 years longer than I'd been alive at the time.

And it just hit me. Something happened. I was like, I don't want this. I just threw it out in the universe one night. I remember crying, drinking a bottle of liquor, calling my brother on the phone, smoking a cigarette, and just being like, this can't be my life.

I'm not going to be this guy. And so I started stripping. In Indiana, there's a couple places, kind of is a weird story. If you rewind back to when I was like 19, I literally had found an ID that said I was 35. The funny part is it was a black guy. So I had a black guy's ID that said I was 35 at 19 years old to try to get in the bars. So there's this little bar, this gay bar that you could strip at, it's been torn down since on the east side of Indianapolis called the Unicorn. And I tried to get a job there, but like being a 19-year-old kid from small town, hillbilly, Indiana, it was just too much too quick.

I remember walking into this bar and you look to the right. You got into the bar with the 35-year-old black guys ID. They didn't card you at first. Oh, okay. Okay. I didn't get to the card stage. I said you buy that. Okay. Yeah, not to you go up to like the bar and I'm sure they encourage you. But I walked in and I remember immediately to my right, I had the black guys ID ready to go to go to. And it's how naive and dumb you are as a kid.

You just, but I remember looking to the side and they had like a shower built into the wall and the sky was just completely nude, just kind of going to town. And you know, you go to sports bars and they usually have like the flat screen TV. TVs, but you know, game highlights, but they had hardcore gay porn. It was just, again, nothing wrong with it. But being a 19-year-old kid from Indiana was just too much too quick. Yeah, yeah. So I couldn't do it. You know, fast forward back now, did the whole Taco Bell thing, did the Bunza warehouse thing.

And there's a place in Indiana called PT Show Club. It's on the east side of Indianapolis. It's a typical strip club, titty bar. They have girls there seven nights a week. But on Saturday nights, they would have the backstage or the back two stages. They would open up for the guys. they would do a Melry View on Saturdays. So you would be dancing next to the girl sometimes, which was great.

I got that place was awesome. So I ended up going one night. I remember there was a guy named Tommy that ran a crew of guys there. And he was like, why don't you watch us for a night? And then if you feel like you want to do it, I'll give you an audition. And I watched maybe one or two songs. And I don't know if it's just because I'm a natural born entertainer. Right.

But I was like, dude, put me up. You know, I'll never forget, ACDC. I dance, what do you, what do you do for money? What do you do for money, honey? How do you get your kicks? So I dance to that song, and I fit right in. They hired me on the fucking spot. And every Saturday night, I was dancing there while I was working at Bunzel.

And then it wasn't until, you know, towards the end, I ended up leaving Bunzel. I went back to the unicorn place. That was a little too much too quick. And I was dancing there five nights a week and dancing at PTs on Saturday nights. And that was great. That worked out great for a while. But then PTs found out I was dancing at a gay bar. and that didn't fit their image

so they fired me they didn't want a gay or fag or that's how they talked back then you know I'm not trying to offend anybody but I come from a different area I talk about when I you know like I'll say punk you know because in prison that's what they call them punks

you know and you know you say there's lots of things you know I didn't grow up with safe spaces yeah this is how just people talked you know just in general and so like they didn't want a guy who supported that working for them so they fired me which sucked at first but then it was kind of great too

because I was making more money at the unicorn and believe it or not i was pulling more pussy out of that gay bar than i was at fucking pt's right there there was only one other straight dancer there and like it turns out when you have no competition yeah you know all the pussies for you yeah i remember at the unit that was the first time i i saw a guy suck another guy's dick i remember in real life i'm thinking like whoa you know get a room but it's they were in a room at a gay bar go to prison you walk by the wrong cell you see it all kinds of stuff i'm sure you know i'm sure you just like this is where you're at now this is what the new norm is for me now and you just

You know, you kind of, I don't want to say get a thick skin, but you just, that becomes your, your normal in a way. So it's not, again, like, we could be doing the podcast right now and a guy could come in here and be blown another guy. And I would just be like, hey, guys could just keep it down on doing a podcast. Yeah, exactly. You know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have the same effect as it did. And when you're done, can I get my car keys?

Like, you're my ride. Yeah, exactly. Just who gives your shit at this point. But being a 19, or 21 year old kid, it just, like I said, it just kind of took you back, especially, I come from like a small town where being gay is not okay, you know. so so what happened so i mean how do you so you keep working at at unicorns and yeah so then my godfather at the time so like i said i never really got along with my mother right so one of my good friends parents had had not legally but had pretty much adopted me gave me life advice gave me a place

to stay when i got kicked out i was able to stay at his house sometimes you know before i got to my brothers just a good family right uh so his name steve and he had told me about this competition called NUDs of Poppin, NAP. It's this big fucking porn star dance competition. It's in Rosalindiana. It's about an hour south of Chicago. And again, cater towards the women, but they have a men's part. So he's like, you've got to enter this thing.

You're stripping and go do it. So I entered the contestant information online, got a song and routine together, and I made the drive up to Rosalindiana and entered that competition. They have scouts there that are looking for talent and stuff. So is it just for scouts, or is it for? Or like I know I'm saying like is there money involved like oh yeah if you win there's money Okay so yeah so like it's it's it's oh yeah absolutely and uh I went in with no expectations I remember the first year there I had met a a dancer named Shailen triple X and uh one second here

for some reason this wants to vibrate there we go I met a a dancer there named Shailen uh uh triple X we entered the couples uh it's called the couples go go routine together we took first place with the routine that I put together again ACDC I put on shoot to thrill ACDC's always been my go to fucking love that band by the way I work out to ACDC

is one of the best rock and roll bands ever exist I don't care fight me for it but we I got runner up and entertainer of the year and I won first place in couples go go so I did a walked away with two trophies and that competition was

in July and I was in Vegas by late August to early September. I mean, why? Somebody hired you? You just decided I'm going full. I'm going to do this full time. A couple things.

My godfather at the time that had told me about this competition was already set up out in California. He bought a hot springs. So he runs and operates a hot springs out in California called the lights. I don't know what that means. Hot Springs is like it's like the natural water. Oh, yeah. I know what hot springs are.

Yeah. So he has a hot springs resort. Oh, so he bought one where there's a hot springs. People go there and what they just sit in the water? Yeah, it's a 48. resort with private pools with hotel rooms cabins all that stuff yeah it's called delights hot springs resort okay so in fact i'll give them a pitch it's delights hot springs resort dot com cool so that's that's that he's owned that for 25 30 years so um and i had some job offers and filled out after that

competition i'd filled out some applications to for Vegas and got some offers to come out so i came out i didn't want the high to end because let me tell you man after nudes a pop and ended you know the drive back to greenfield indiana was was very depressing you know i went back to being superstar to Quiet. Yeah, yeah. Back to my brother's spare bedroom, back to normalcy. He's been known to cure insecurity just with his laugh. His organ donation card lists his charisma.

His smile is so contagious. Vaccines have been created for it. He is the most interesting man in the world. I don't typically commit crime, but when I do, it's bank fraud. Stay greedy, my friends. Support the channel. Join Matthew Cox's Patreon. But you're still dancing at the gay club.

You still dancing at the gay club, but just that news of popping was like, hi. Yeah, yeah. Like, I remember when I, first news, the way it ended. This is like a large, this is not, this is not a small bar. This is a massive, a big outdoor event. Okay. Huge outdoor event. And, you know, and you got media everywhere, Cherry Magazine, Inc.

Magazine, Hustler magazine, and they're all there. You're like a fucking superstar. Yeah. And I remember when I was walking off the stage, literally at the end of the competition, and my first news of popping with two trophies. I remember walking by. It's my first experience with swingers, by the way. He's two hot blondes that are topless wearing these thonged bikinis.

I remember one of them, to this dad, I remember she goes, man, you are a sexy motherfucker. I want to suck your dick. And I remember pointing down with my trophy, he's like, well, what stopped me? I'd do it now. She dropped right to her knees and started blowing me in front of like 200 people. And the funniest thing was, you know. It's just debauchery. You know, debauchery, 100.

It's just unbelievable. The security guys had their golf carts and they ran up. And again, I was Sebastian at the time. I hadn't adopted Mason until I came to Vegas. They're like, damn it, Sebastian, you know you can't do that here. And I was like, oh, well, sorry. And the swinger couple had a trailer. When I say trailer was more like one of those like rock and roll band tour buses.

Like you said swinger couple, but it was two women. I'll get to that. Okay. So, yeah, no, it's all good. No, I understand. So we go back to the RV and, you know, we pick up where we left off. And I've been there over the little kitchen counter there and pull her thong panties to the side. And I start fucking her.

And I'm fucking her for maybe a few minutes, and a guy bust in the door. And he goes, what the fuck's going on here? That's my fucking wife. Dude, I'm, you know, my heart stopped. I know before I could even say anything, he starts laughing. He was, oh, I don't give a fuck. And he pulled out his dick and put it in her mouth. So that was my first experience with Swinger couples.

I ran a train on this guy's wife. What are the chances this gets demonetized? Anyway. You know, so I, I, I, um, I, that's how my first news of hopping ended so I went from that high of winning trophies to people wanting to be me to girls wanting to fuck me to now I'm back to normal right I'm back to greenfield Indiana so here and then so I was like I got to keep the high going so so you go to Vegas man and you said your um you said godfather yeah father no it's my godfather so did he put you up or yes I when I first moved out

there for the first I think a couple weeks I went out there I was able to stay uh one of my brothers Ryan let me sleep on. I literally slept on the floor in his bedroom for like three weeks. Right. And then I got my money together and had some money saved up and just got my own apartment. And then it's just been. So where'd you work when you were there? So I started with my roots, went to the gay bars. Right. At first, you know, because the private stuff didn't pick up to about six months. There was a place on the, uh, on the strip called Crave. It was spelled KRAV. It's not there anymore. It's where a Bubba Gump, so if you come to Vegas where you see like Bubba Gump shrimp and all that kind of next to Planet Hollywood. Yeah. That used to be a huge

gay bar on the strip called Crave. What I mean gay bar? I was like gay go-go dancing. But they laughed at me. I lasted there like a week. It laughed at me. It was a hillbilly, they said. I got made fun of.

Got laughed at. Okay. It's like, all right. So then I went to a gay bar called Pirana. And now remember Piranha because one of the gay dancers that the unicorn told me about this place called Pirana. And they took me in there. I loved it because not only could you go-go dance, but I got my tam card, which is

techniques and alcohol management. And I was allowed to sell shots now. Okay. You have to have a tam card to serve alcohol in Vegas. So when I wasn't dancing on the stage, you could either dance with 30 minutes and take a break for 30 minutes or you could dance for 30 minutes

and go sell shots for 30 minutes and that's what I did. I just hustled. And during that time, Sin City Entertainment, or excuse me, Sin City Strippers had hired me and I started doing private parties and I ended up leaving Prana

because I was getting so busy and I've been doing private parties for Sin City strippers for, I've been doing it 16 years, 15 years now. All right. So, so what, how much money were you making just working at piranhas like what kind of money you know on an average night do you make so working at piranha with doing the shots and mind you i was only working there like three nights a week right

so you'd bring it anywhere between 300 bucks to 600 bucks a night cash so you could you could pay your bills with it right you know to me again small time hillbilly yeah yeah coming from taco bell and bunzel this was all this is this is all amazing to me this is like i'm rich now yeah and Vegas is i'm sure a massive difference yeah i tell us small town i tell a story in my book one of first chapters and I told the story on soft white underbelly about the one of the first parties I did was for like a cross dresser guy he wanted to have a mocked bachelette party I remember him looking just like Princess Diana I remember the the party was crazy is that it was at the wind tower suites and those you've never been to the wind tower suites it's amazing

and he had like the two story suite um what I don't talk about on soft white under bellies you know I do the whole show the guy ends up getting fucked in his ass with a strap on which was one of the first times I'd seen that in my life and I don't know how I got through it I went to stripper autopilot or something was just okay this is I'm not in Kansas anymore make a joke like Dorothy you know I'm not in Indiana anymore and definitely not in fucking Indiana anymore for sure so but after the the party was done um he retreated to himself obviously he had came and came back out like normal polo shirt golfing slacks and took the dominatrix and I and her friends to a steak dinner at steve win steakhouse of course so it's like a hundred fifty dollars two hundred dollars a plate

and I remember just thinking to myself and drinking the best liquor you know I think you probably had Johnny Walker on all the good shit you know I went from working an hour and a half if you want to call it work making almost double when I'd make working a week at Bunzel and I traded in my baloney sandwiches for a steak dinner at Steve Wins again I've that kid from Indiana hit the fucking jackpot man I was riding high on success in my opinion right that was success to me I got out now I'm a hired guy in Vegas working at the fucking win eating steak dinners, I'm not this pallet operator forklift driver anymore in Indiana. It was fucking fantastic. So, and you've been doing this for 16 years? 16 years, man. So, I mean, do you,

do you have a girlfriend? I've had girlfriends, but no, nothing. Doesn't last or? No, the only time I, I find that it kind of lasts is if I, if I, if I date somebody in the industry. Right. And I don't mean to, to, to stereotype people, but I call them nine the fivers. Yeah, yeah. It's really hard to have a relationship with a nine and the fiver because, again, they always think you're going out. and getting laid. And I do. There's plenty of times where, you know, these parties turn into sex. But I, again, I've done this for so long. I don't have to. Right. Fuck. But your normal nine, the fiber is not going to understand that. They're going to go worst case scenario in their mind the whole time. They probably think I'm getting laid and getting fucking. But if it's somebody in the industry, even if they think he is doing it, but it's really entertainment. It's just a part of it. It's like being a porn star dating another porn star.

They get its work. Right, right. Yeah. So you were saying like they're, uh, I saw a clip where you were saying that, like, a guy will pay you to fuck his wife. That's like a big thing now. It's called cucking or cuck holding. But, I mean, listen, listen. So, Facebook. Me at 16 or 17, no internet. Really, internet didn't come out until I was, like, graduating, where I was in the middle of college.

And even then, it was, like, email. No, and there wasn't, like, internet, like, porn or something. And when you did have the porn and you cook on a picture, load, load, load. Yeah, so, so it's not like with a constant bombardment. was sex and drugs and everything now. Connor, you probably don't know this, but I just said it was telling, I remember when Facebook came out,

you had to have a college ID to have an account. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, oh, MySpace you could do. But when Facebook first started, you had to have a college ID to have a Facebook because that was first started to connect college people. Right, obviously it blew up to where, you know, so I come from the Myspace days to where the old joke used to be.

Remember you could have your top eight friends? I mean, no, I don't remember because that was. have the MySpace? I didn't have my, when MySpace came out, I was on the run. I just got to start off on the run. So yes, you're not going to have that internet presence. Facebook came out just like six months before I got caught and went to prison. Okay, I got you.

Yeah. So when MySpace came out, you could customize your homepage and you could put your top friends on your front. I remember the whole joke was there was a T-shirt out going, your mom's on my top eight. I'm going back in the day. But you have a cuck holding. Cucking is like a whole thing. Now, I have a lot of husbands that watch and they pay me to fuck their wives.

100% I just don't understand like you know I could understand like did you ever see American Gigolo no but I saw something

on Amazon the other day or did that come out again is there a new season there was a new thing it's not a season it was the original was was Richard Gear when he was young

he's like 23, 24 maybe 25 years I gotta watch that bro it's you know it's a great it's a great movie and then the other thing is in that movie

I remember watching that movie where a guy had paid him to have sex with his wife and watch his wife and I remember saying like why would someone do that and this is pre-Viagra Cialis so this is an older guy

who's like in his 60s who's got a wife who's probably in her 30s and he can't really have sex with her anymore and so he hires this guy to have sex with her and he's there to watch and you know like so to me I remember thinking

well that's something that's probably pretty much petered out because now you just go take a pill you're good but you're saying you're shot at your shot these shots now too you can inject your dick boom i see on porn sets all that i've been doing i've been doing porn for i'm a new to the game but i was nominated for a t um i i've done porn for major companies i've been doing porn for a little over a year that's been opened my eyes to a lot of stuff too you know you got this right you shut right to the base of your dick and you and you just rub it real quick and all of a sudden your dick's hard for six eight hours oh that's insane yeah right i've never done one i mean i'm not

against it, but I, uh, I seem like it to be dangerous. Yeah. So like I, even with the, uh, because like, you know,

I don't have a problem performing, but you know, when the lights are on and your perspective of the poor, I always keep Vagor on me just in case, but you don't want to take a whole one. No.

Oh, fuck though. I'll take a quarter of a one. I still feel lightheaded sometimes. That shit will fuck you up. Yeah. So even taking the Viagra sometimes is, I don't like doing it, but even you're doing it for work,

you're doing it for work. You know, when you're on these sets, you know, it's like, especially being the mental talent, you know, and they're doing pictures. Like, they'll say, okay, do pictures and you have your clothes on. And okay, pictures with your clothes off, get hard.

Right. And you got a camera guy, set guy, their assistant. Oh, no, I'm going to need, you got to light some candles. We need some soft music. I'm going to need, I'm going to need Jess to rub up against me. They want you to, they do the blow job scene and then stop. You got to do pictures. Now you got to fuck.

Stop. We got to do pictures. Now you got to fuck in this position to stop. I remember one time I had to fuck a girl through a glory hole. I was a security guard on the red carpet. I had the fucker through this hole Then I'd have to give me a blowjob Upside down

Then I had the fucker on this box And I had to constantly stop I was on set for like eight hours And you're constantly being You have to stay hard The whole time And it's like again my hat goes off To all the metal porn

So it's like You ever notice if you watch porn You see the same handful of guys I don't know if you've noticed that I'll watch porn But yeah If you watch porn you'll notice Yeah because those are the guys

That can show up and get the job done Yeah I you know And I get that it's stressful And it's hard and everything But you know And I want to feel bad for you No don't I don't Don't.

So, yeah. Don't. It's fucking porn. I'm new to that. Like I said, my book is catered towards like my main income and my, and my job has been an adult entertainer. Right. I call me a stripper, but there's more that goes to it. Like, I feel like it's more of an entertaining thing.

Yeah. So what, so what, um, there's obviously a definitely an entertainment aspect to, to any type of, you know, any type of, um, performance. So my, my question is, like, has anything ever gone wrong? like do you ever not get paid do you ever have there ever been issues boyfriends show up getting random phone calls from angry I mean I'm just spitball in here I can only imagine I can touch and all that I was gonna say in 16 years you've got to have some so there's in a couple times so one that sticks out to me when you talk about violence and I remember I did this party once it was a birthday party it was like a 50-year-old

birthday party and a real nice house in Vegas locals and they got everybody there When I say it was a mixed party And in the industry When we say mixed crowd party It's guys and girls That's what mix means Right So you get straight guys

And they're girlfriends So it all starts normal I'm in the back porch There's a ton of people there And usually when these things You know I bring the energy So these things get going And obviously once you're done dancing

For the birthday girl Other girls will start sitting in the chair Or the audience will start You know the crowd I'll start throwing girls in And I'm there to just do a job You know we do these handful of moves Where you pick them up

Spin them around blah blah blah So I remember dancing for this one girl and I'm doing my dancing like this and all of a sudden I felt pressure on my face and the guy had punched me and obviously he didn't hit my button everyone's got a button and used you just spaghetti called the wet noodle so but he obviously didn't hit my button and I remember before I even had a chance to react the other guys in the party had grabbed him and threw him on the ground and were apologizing to me profusely right said fuck this guy he's had too much a drink he's just a jealous asshole yeah they tip me extra and they escorted me to my car but when I when you think

about getting hit I think about that Um, in fact, you just, why would a guy, why, you know, like, well, like, first of all, if you know there's going to be a stripper there and you're going with your girlfriend, like you, you already know what to expect. Like, you can't go there and decide, hey, I'm going to have a bunch of drinks be a dick. And then again, I'm there for entertainment. Like I'm not, it's different. Like, you know, if she's a single girl and she ends up coming to me after the show and we exchange numbers, great. But during the actual performance, I'm as professional as you can get. I'm there for you to do a show. I've done this so many times. It's like muscle memory to me. Go and do the same routine every time it fucking works. But you did bring up something. again the guy just didn't hit my button I mean I got an angel looking out for me something but back of my PT days going back to Indiana I was one of the guys that worked at PTs with was part of this Mel Review group that traveled

and they were doing a bar gig and I've never worked with the Mel review before so they're doing their stage show and I'm working the crowd I didn't know I wasn't supposed to work the crowd while they were doing a stage show and this one guy who was big dude on steroids just hated me again I remember dancing on this girl and I felt

pressure on my face he clocked shit out of me. But again, didn't hit my button. I just went like this. And I remember I was by a pool table. I grabbed that fucking pool stick and went to go after them. And I remember the bartender grabbed me and those, that wasn't as nice. Those bartenders and stuff grabbed me. I remember it like the movies. They tossed me out the back fucking door and like that and told me to get the fuck out of there and all that stuff. But I do that. That's crazy. I've forgotten about that till just now. So that when it's violence, I've had it a few times. But luckily, I haven't been hurt. Yeah. They just didn't hit my button. They just

didn't know how to punch or they just off balance, because, again, everyone's got a button. All right. Yeah, absolutely.

I always get, so whenever I go to these things, I get my money up front. Right. It's always up front, so I get the base fee that I call it, and then I give them my spiel on what I expect to make in tips. Now, of course, it's tips. They could give you nothing, but I give them my spiel.

And so I've never been stiffed on the walk-in, but sometimes you get cheapies. Yeah, yeah. You know, that think they took care of you. Like, I remember one time I had these girls from London when I was giving my spiel on tips, and they said they had piles of cash for me. I said, okay, piles of cash. I was there for like an hour and a half and I think they tipped me $30.

I was like, I don't know what piles of cash are where you're from, but that's, this is pathetic. And it's still, in my mind, it sticks out to me because I was one of the most pathetic tip parties I've ever done. Absolutely.

Okay. So how did you get to the point where you thought, so you wanted to write a book? Yeah. You just, just, what people kept saying, you should write a book,

and you one day just said, I'm not, I'm not going to knock this out. Basically, I was just thinking myself like, because I, you know, people ask me about my job, you go to bars and stuff and your friends, and then just I'll talk to him like I'm talking to you. You'd give them fucking stories of, you know, I've done this party. I've done that party. I've done this. And they're like, wow, man, you know, you should write a book. And I was like thinking like, you know, I should write a book. And I was in the kind of process of doing one, you know, being lazy about it, but still in the process of doing one.

And I did that Mark's show, soft white underbelly, and I briefly, excuse me, I had briefly brought up that I was in the middle of writing a book. in the comments just came pouring through, like, when's your book, when's your book, when's your book? And that just let a fire under me. And the book is done. Right. It's out.

You know, you can go to Masonnox.com. That's M-A-S-I-N-O-X. Dot com, and you can pre-order the book now. Every book comes with a free audible download card. So I did my own audible, which was hard. Right. That was 14 hours. I did two seven-hour days in the studio.

So, you know, when you read and by yourself in your head and you mince-pronounce words, whatever, you know what you meant. Yeah. But to get the tone right and pronounce it, yeah, man, that was that was hard. So I put a lot of work into that. So again, doing Mark's show really got that going. You got the fire underneath. Got the fire underneath.

And it got me introduced to you. And now I'm, you know, like I said, I flew out here to Florida to do a few podcasts and just going out and doing a little book tour promotion. So if, oh, so you're going to put out the book, you know, let's say the book, not the book has to do well or or even badly. It doesn't matter. It's really what's so funny about that is like, you know, it's actually has. having something written down that you can hand somebody, a producer, or whoever, that they actually have something, they can read it and say, okay, now I get it. And it's written down. As soon as you write it, your story down, like you tell me your story now doesn't create this as intellectual property.

It's only when it's written down. Exactly. Now you own it. So somebody could watch the podcast and do a whole fucking thing on you. And you're like, well, hey, you can't this. You can't, you know, oh, no, I, you know, I kind of, I can. I can. But now you actually have a written piece of intellectual property that's been published.

So my idea is, or my question is, what are your thoughts? Like you did this, you have this, this book. I mean, nobody's making, unless you're James Patterson or, you know, John Grisham or whoever. John Grissom, I remember reading the client. Right. So unless you're, you know, unless you're one of them, you're not going to make millions on the book. What is your, what is your goal for writing the book? like what is your what would be like the top thing you would want to happen well first off i'd like

to say never say never yeah okay i never put that in the universe you know uh 50 shades of gray was self-published i'm not saying never i'm saying you know it's the guys that make millions or john grisham and those kinds of guys and the guy he wrote 50 shades of gray that was his that was their first book and he put that out a chapter at a time that became a big movie uh another one that was a big one that came out a long time ago was you ever heard of john tucker must die of course john tucker must die no john tucker um are you remember the guy that wrote uh uh i hope they served beer in hell i think so yeah yeah yeah right and that turned into that turned into john tucker must die yeah yeah again so it can happen but i get your point but again i don't like to throw that in the

universe my whole goal i'm saying is what i'm saying is if it doesn't have to be a bestseller no to still have like to still have major developments occur just because you have a book yeah so Like, again, I got to get on, I got to come here and meet you because of the book. Right. I got to go do this other podcast because of the book. I'm going to go back on soft white underbelly here in a couple weeks, you know, not because of the book, but Mark, you know, he's got a nitty gritty show. But this book has allowed me, like again, it solidifies.

It makes it real. Yeah. You know, it feels good. I know you've written some books. Yeah. It feels good. Yeah. And just my hustling state of mind, just being a hustler, it's another way I can make.

I mean, again, not to sound shady, but it's just another way I can legally make some money. right you know and get my story out there and you know in the worst case scenario when i sell a couple hundred books i make some money i got to do some podcasts and tell my story right great best case scenario becomes a new york time as best seller i'm living in the hollywood hills well i never moved to california but that's a different story but i'm living in like a big mansion in in somewhere and well i never get a big mansion but you know what i mean i'm going on you know so i mean i'm saying like i mean like to me like the books that i've written i want to help i want them to be developed into documentaries into, of course, you know, or, you know, be turned into a series or a movie.

You mentioned off camera before. You mentioned Vice, the network. So have you ever, one of my, I'm a huge pro wrestling fan. Not so much older, but I love, I call wrestling. Right. Grew up on Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan. All right. Yeah, Sean Michaels.

We had a, we've had a wrestler on here. The sexy boy, Sean Michaels, baby. I mean, when I did dudes of pop and I ended up having like the WWE pyrotechnics and stuff, I mean, anyway. They have a show on VICE, and they have a bunch of spinoffs on it called The Dark Side of the Ring, the Dark Side of the 90s, now they're doing the dark side of comedy. Okay. Have you seen any of those yet? No. No, but the way they do them is great.

The way they tell the stories and the way they do the reenactments is amazing. So it would be amazing to me to be able to turn some of these stories I have in my book and turn them into little shorts for a TV series. So in the long run, I mean, if we're talking about big goals, I would love to get a little series made on some of these stories because, again, I didn't think this many people would be. intrigued about what I do but you know when I've done a few interviews people just think it's wild and again I guess it is but I just I've done it for so long you do something it doesn't seem yeah I totally get it I still get excited when I do parties and stuff but I'm not that you know 19 you know 20 something year old kid it's like oh fuck yeah man I'm going to the fucking win got these girls now I'm just like oh yeah cool I get to go to the win again tonight yeah it's just another gig right that's it

still fun but just another gig uh yeah I was yeah I was yeah Trust me. I totally get it. The, like, well, I'll talk to people about, well, I'll tell people what I did, and they're just, like, over the top, like, oh, my God. But then again, I always think, okay, yeah, but this guy works at an insurance company. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's never broken the law. He's maybe got a ticket. You know, when as a cop was approaching his car, he was freaking out.

Freaking out. Right, right. But I'm saying, you never know what's going to happen by doing the podcast. So we had a guy on here, Jeff Turner. He was a counterfeiter. and Jeff ended up getting contacted by a producer, a producer and a screenwriter, and they said they had seen his story or the podcast.

Was it this podcast? Well, he did one here. He also did it on concrete. So there's probably a better chance he did it on. They saw the concrete one. I was supposed to do that maybe. Tyler put me in touch with that. I guess the guy from concrete just had a congratulations to.

Yeah, yeah, he just had a baby. Got another baby. Congratulations, man. So what ended up happening was they, contacted Jeff and he optioned his life rights and they've already written a screenplay. Like me, I've written a bunch of stories, put a bunch of stuff out there, had tons and tons of media attention, interviews, and semi-pushed, not pushed really hard, but semi-pushed. And a few things have happened here and here and here, but nothing huge has happened.

Jeff Turner came here, told his story, told his story again, was contacted immediately, option the film rights has a screenplay written like this is the kind of thing where sometimes someone just kind of you know it just happens

he may end up having a fucking movie I'm saying it's just the way the world works man yeah it's crazy right why do some what do some rock and roll bands write one song

and they're on top of the world and you got some bands that will never ever make it right and it's just you never know the algorithm of life you know what I would say is like you watch

you've watched American Idol like let's face it the top 10 to 20 people are all, all superstars. The fact is, they're all amazing, they're all superstars, only one person wins. And you really almost never hear from any of these other people. And you're like, yeah, but this guy was so talented. The guy number nine was, he was, I've never heard anything like it.

She was amazing. And you're like, so talent alone isn't always enough. You kind of have to be in the right place, the right time, the right person. And even then, if they're all interested, then another 200 things have to go right before you get to that point you're right i can when you talk about american idol how many people you think competed in made the finals i can tell you two people adam lambert and kelly clarkson yeah two people adam lambert's singing for good for him he's and i think he's a perfect match he's singing for queen yeah um i was going to say uh yeah so like with turner you just don't know

what's going to happen you just never know you never is going to watch this right right right you know same with mark you never know i mean i'm sure you you i mean you said you did soft white underbelly as well yeah you know it's just uh and i'm sure you've had contacts i'm sure you've made other contacts and you're able to do more stuff because of yeah we were talking about all the different all the different things i've done you got to and then are and that are still doing you have to like like doing the podcast is is super important yeah this is like uh i was telling uh people that are people that are than me like that don't get it you know it's like you need to get on like this show it's like no podcasts are the new shows yeah podcast are and i again being a being on a band

being in a band and stuff. It's more important if you're in a band to have a hit song on TikTok than it is on the radio. There's more, I mean, it's just, just face it, and even on network television, if you have a hit show on YouTube, that's a bigger deal sometimes

than having to hit show on some of the major networks. It's the world's ever changing. Yeah, I wonder, has there ever been any, like, series that are based on a male stripper? So the only thing that came out, not a series, and I am. It's a movie. Yeah, Magic Mike, and I'm the real deal.

I'm Magic Mason. Right. They did a real, and like the thing about Magic Mike is they did touch on a few things that are really true in that movie, but they, they, again, it's Hollywoods. They want to make everything seem perfect and glamorous. Right. But if they wanted the real, if you want the real nitty gritty story, again, and this is not something I'm flexing on, but, you know, people who do this job don't usually last very long. I can name maybe one or two other guys that started and are still doing it. They're still doing it to this day.

And like I said, that's a career at this point. I've done 16 years. I went from walking the work at Taco Bell. to now i got again i'm not flexing but i traded in my night my bonnevilles for bmw's right i live on the strip in las vegas you know i just you know i just it's it's it's take i've done literally from trash to treasures in a sense you know absolutely man so there's something there's something i've always wanted to is is doing some of these podcasts i just like to throw it out there i always thought i'd make a really good bad guy in movies i'm acting all the time like when you talk about

the cuck holding yeah there's tons of times where i have to put on an act i remember there was this one time there was this young good looking couple young good looking you'd be amazed how many hot chicks pay me to fuck them 100% and uh there's this young good looking couple that one had a role playing kink and the husband uh wanted me to be a bad guy i was a gangster bookie and i was there to collect money from him because he placed a bad sports bet but he couldn't pay so i remember i kicked in the door i said you know where's my fucking money asshole well i don't have your money you know i was like well that fucking little pretty little cunt you call a wife over there is gonna have to fucking pay for it with what's what between her legs or some bullshit like that so i again like i'm

always playing a character right now you're always playing a character so i don't know why you got see american jiggle i'm gonna do i'm definitely that's one of the first things i'm gonna watch when i get home you're talking about the richard gear one yeah yeah so again i'm just i'm gonna send you the trailer so check it out when you send me the trailer look it up because before i came over here just like the other day at home when i'll slipping through netflix yeah they came out with something new called american jigolo they either redid it or they turned it into a series oh i'm sure they would make great series but what i was going to say also the other thing that you might is uh consider as a like a documentary like you can like documentary production

is is uh the budgets way way um smaller but it also costs very little money to do and you have to think you have a you can have it you don't even have to be huge but a decent documentary done on you that ends up on any of the streaming platforms and now Netflix hilly whatever you know they'll pick up it according to people see you then now now people come to you and they go, whoa, whoa, listen, we just watched this two hours, or this hour and a half documentary on you. We think we could take this and turn it into a complete series. Oh, you could.

Next thing you know, you've got a whole series. I mean, granted, it'll go off the fucking rails. Like, I don't know if you ever watched, oh, shoot, Orange's New Black. I know what you're talking about, but I haven't watched it. So she wrote a book, a couple hundred, about two, three hundred pages, really, probably I think about 250 pages. She wrote a book. It was a girl that had been, got roped into a.

drug conspiracy for money laundering. Like she basically just somebody gave her money, she put it in her bank out, and then she wired the money to a couple people. Like that's the extent of her, but it was, she did know it was drug money. She knew she was paying couriers for her girlfriend. You know, she just genuinely thought it meant

nothing, but now you're in the conspiracy. So she ends up getting like, I want to say 18 months. She does like 12 months or something, goes to jail, writes a book about it, puts out the book. It does okay, but it happens to get picked up by Netflix, who was just then starting off and it blows up

well after the first season the book the season now the book blows up no no no the book is a bestseller for five years after that it didn't it was okay before that it was doing okay my point is after the first year they're no longer even following the storyline so what ends up

happening is you know people that are in your book end up being characters that now it's completely gone off the reels now they're really oh now there's murders and they're killing people and they're doing this and you're like Jesus you know Jimmy's not going to be okay with this um you know or you know Tammy would never do that you know so anyway yeah you next thing you know there's nine nine seasons later it's turned into something that you never really

thought but you don't really have control of that but i'm saying they can do that once you sign your fucking once you sign that contract you don't have any choice creative creative what they call creative uh what creative license creative whatever creative rights go to whoever you just fucking sold it to yes unless obviously in your contract you got final say so but nobody he's going to give you that right they're not going to put up you know 30 20 million dollars per season and let you have the final say so they're going to give you your money yeah and they're going to say we're taking over now yeah you sit down we'll pay you as a consultant every once while we might call you if if anybody asked about the series say it's wonderful it's

amazing oh yeah you can't reach contract or get their money back right yeah i did i've done a few tv shows i've done the jerry springer show as a stripper are you serious that was one of my favorite shows i've ever done was jerry springer yeah dude fucking i got called in to do that uh i was a runner i didn't make it but i did a rehab stint i was going to do dr drew celebrity rehab the sex addiction okay so I was the runner up for that so they had a guy drop out but then they decided not to use me but to fill my contractual agreements I had to go to rehab for seven days it was like a really fancy one and like that costs like a thousand fifteen hundred dollars a day I remember being in this rehab playing tennis and with these real addicts and again the help that you gets very real but I remember thinking to myself like I'm here because I'm a stripper that likes to have a lot of sex like back in Indiana that's not a problem yeah yeah they'd laugh at you all the way to the fucking doctor's office and then the doctor would laugh at you like what are you here for you get you get laid too much get the fuck out of right but yeah the springer show is my favorite show by far i've done oh yeah 100% that was great well um what else are you you you got the book coming out yes i'm still doing the same thing so i'm i got a handful

more podcast that i have booked so i'm gonna i'm gonna do this for the next couple weeks uh the book will officially be out it's for pre-order now at masonnox dot com but it eventually it'll ship to you on Halloween. So it comes out on Halloween this year. Okay. And then I'm going to do some more podcast and I'm still going to do me. I mean, I'm again, what are we? It's Wednesday. So I'll be back in Vegas tonight and I'll be doing bachelor's at parties this weekend. And you're going to see your brother. And a few hours.

I told him I was going to, if we had time, I'd kick

his ass in a game of horse. We had to laugh about that. But I'm pretty good at horse. I'm sure taking him to the hoop would be a different story. But if we're just, you get free. shots. I do pretty good. But yeah, that's what's next for me. I'm just going to keep working. Hopefully, maybe if the book does well enough, I wouldn't mind doing a follow-up book. I could just do short stories, you know, with me. So, again, when people order my book, just so you know, everyone comes with an audible, but I also do story time with Mason Knox where I talk every chapter like we're talking now. Right.
