Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah, get it on, get it on, get it on. Thanks for tuning in, thanks to my friend, Dr. board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, guest in studio today is a model, pornographic film actress, former nurse, Ebony Mystique, good to see you. Thank you for having me, what an honor.
Starting point is 00:02:11 You know, turn your mic a little this way and I'll turn my mic a little that way. That's a good call. So interesting background for you. You were a registered nurse and that was your business and then you got into the adult film business. Correct. Now I don't get why, because every time I hear
Starting point is 00:02:32 about nursing, I hear that's a pretty good job. Oh, you guys, the poor list. Microphone's on. Yeah, oh, you gotta put that on the list, Myron. Shut off microphone. But registered nurse, pretty good gig, right? It is, it is. I love nursing. I'm still a nurse. I just retired now.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I'm not active. But I'll always keep my license here. How long does it take to get to be a licensed nurse? I took the four-year route, but I believe they have, like, an associate's degree program also, but I wanted my bachelor's, so four years. And you're making decent money and I guess always employed. I always hear there's always jobs for nurses. We overwork, I think, sometimes. Overtime is we fight for it, I think.
Starting point is 00:03:20 There's nurses who even travel and make good money, right? I did that too. You did? That's the biggest money. Right. Sure. How would that work? Oh, well, you go on an assignment for a matter of weeks, work a hospital shift the same way
Starting point is 00:03:35 as if you worked there and they pay for your housing and your room and board. You get maybe like double what you would get if you were probably in your local hospital. So then why get out of that into the adult film industry? Actually COVID-19, I had just got into a different position at my job, which was Kaiser. And because I didn't have the seniority, I was gonna have to be one of the nurses to take like unemployment, and because everybody had to be at home.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I wasn't in the hospital setting anymore. I was in the advice call center. So when we all had to quarantine, we had to too. So I wasn't in my position long enough to be one of the nurses to stay on the phone. That was scary for me. So you went home, you got bored, thought about pornography,
Starting point is 00:04:28 it must've been something you were thinking about before this. Well, I've worked in Vegas as a nurse too. Most nurses, women, we still like to put our makeup on and be beautified, it's just not the place for that, the hospital setting. But if you talk to some of the nurses at night, once our patients are well, we all wanna be sexified. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And so you start from scratch? I mean, like you're just sitting home on a Wednesday night and you think, I'd like to get into this industry No, I thought about it. I thought about being like a exotic dancer Google dancer a playboy model And so what's your first move?
Starting point is 00:05:16 I call one of the legendary porn stars pinky triple X and I tell her that there's a possibility that My job security right now, because you know, Corona, COVID, that we will have to stay home. And I need to make some money because what I'm being offered isn't going to be enough, which was maximum unemployment, but that I lived in LA. Wasn't going to work. What is maximum unemployment in LA? I think it's like $1,600 a week.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I think they were offering or1,600 a week. I think they were offering or something like that, but totally not enough for my bills at the time. 1,600 a week unemployment, like from the unemployment? From the government. Eh. Not bad. You would have taken that.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I mean, I thought that was via Kaiser or something. I didn't know that was via Kaiser or something. I didn't know that was what the government was offering up. Yeah, but sadly not enough in LA. So I just caught her, I used to joke with her about the thought of like, I can do what you do, but she always say, you know, just stay in there. So I probably, it was in my subconscious mind,
Starting point is 00:06:24 but this time she decided to shoot me and we did very well Very very well and at that point she has started me on only fans Not to promote them is that okay? She shot you with a solo with a boy or how to work It was I did two scenes for her in one day So I had two guys in one day, but different scenes. And she just said, like, I want you to, I got a couple of guys, they're pros. Yes. Was it weird at the beginning?
Starting point is 00:06:56 No, because I didn't have all the jazz that I know now on set. It was just her cameraman and the guys and me. Now it's like 12 other people. Oh really? Mm-hmm, on the bigger productions. I mean, they have a big company in itself, but I mean like bigger productions. There's so many things for production. Yeah, I always feel like the weirdest part
Starting point is 00:07:18 is not really the sex part. It's just the dude standing there and cut-offs. Holding the boom. Holding the boom mic. Or even the guy not holding the boom mic or even the guy not holding Yeah, just standing there, right the so-called grips Yeah so Drew asked some questions, I'm done so I am going to turn over all my cards for you because I
Starting point is 00:07:36 Had an interesting experience because we've had so many people come in here over the years They go I'm a nurse and we find out they took like a biology class in college and I went here over the years and they go, I'm a nurse. And we find out they took like a biology class in college. And I went, yes, a nurse, prove it to me. And you have a, you're an RN, which is, which is, you know, at most when people say they're a nurse, they'd come in here, they're a CNA or something. But RN is top of the heap, highly trained. I'm surprised you had trouble finding work during COVID. Is that because you were a Kaiser employee? You're stuck with Kaiser? I was, but I love Kaiser, the company in itself or the organization rather. It was just that I was so new in the position and I'm glad I kind of took this course because LA was like the last place during the pandemic to open back up. So job security, like, I don't know, I just felt like I
Starting point is 00:08:23 needed to do something that I could make some good money for. And so you know. I just felt like I needed to do something that I could make some good money for. And so you know what I'm talking about in terms of people presenting, I'm a nurse, they're not really a nurse. Do you have any feelings about that? I mean, maybe they just manifested. Okay, fair enough. And what was your favorite kind of nursing? Oh, I love critical care. Did you ER also?
Starting point is 00:08:42 I did. I had a start in ER too. So ER and critical care have a similar feel to them, right? Yes. Yes. I loved it just more or less because, I don't know, you saving lives for real. Or you don't, like a lot of them don't, right? And one of the things during COVID that I had a huge question mark over my head was these nurses coming out going, so many people are dying.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Am I dying? I work in ICU. You work in ICU, people die every day. I mean, most people don't leave the ICU. They live in a box, you know, that's it. Why all of a sudden were people all worked out? I thought it was the traveling nurses maybe that weren't used to being in an ICU.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Is that what it was? And it was just the influx of people that were coming in, scared, fearful, really actually sick, dying. However, I feel like they were recording them crying and stuff, so maybe it was about a little bit of clout or just attention. Maybe sensitivity to the subject, you don't get it at home, so I put it on the internet.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Because why are you crying and recording it? Right, it was odd to me. It was interesting. There was an interesting time period, but it was also. There was an interesting time period, but it was also an interesting sort of zeitgeist or look into the mind. Like, when they were doing all those January 6th hearings,
Starting point is 00:09:56 they would put a whole bunch of Capitol Police guys up there, and then they'd have them get up there and they'd go, I was terrified for my life. I didn't, and it's like, one kind of fed the other and they bought into it and then whatever. Nobody went like, hey, you know, there was pushing and shoving, but we're trained for that. And I didn't see any weapons or hear any gunfire.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I didn't see a knife, so we were good. Like they didn't, but almost weirdly. Mass formation. Yeah, like when a kid sees another kid talking about something and crying and the teacher's going, oh, are you okay? Are you okay? The next kid will go right into it.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And COVID did a ton of that. There was like a ton of, and it also made them, they aired on the side of them being heroes and stuff like that. There was a big mass formation, whatever. You never heard anybody go, some people were sick, but some were fine. You've never even heard that.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It was just like, oh yeah, I have to grim, I have to go home every day and deal with this. And stuff like that. And it was a mass formation sort of hero bullshit thing. In that, it happened, COVID happened, and so did January 6th, but didn't mean every one of, half those cops were walking around the halls like opening doors and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:16 They weren't traumatized or being beaten, but soon as they put a microphone in front of their face like, oh, I thought I wasn't getting out alive, then that's what just happened. You get cred for it. All the reinforcement, part of it. Would you call it the zeitgeist? The zeitgeist.
Starting point is 00:11:33 So you get out of that, you start making adult films and with your friend who's in the industry, Pinky Triple X. You got it. But here's a question. How did you industry, Pinky Triple X. You got it. But here's a question. How did you know who Pinky Triple X was if you were just a humble nurse?
Starting point is 00:11:50 Oh, I knew a lot of porn stars. I still ask myself this myself. I think it was just, I don't know, maybe to go into the strip club. I know a lot of people, I'm not sure how that happened, but I know how I met her, and I was at the strip club in Atlanta And we never lost contact and so she was able to open the door. Yes for this and And your backgrounds kind of interesting right your parents were both Black Panthers
Starting point is 00:12:19 and your dad was the head of the West Coast Division do we call it? Chapter, yes. Chapter? I guess you have chapters, like Hills Angels have chapters. Your dad looks like Richard Roundtree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:34 People tell him that? I don't know, I never asked him. But yeah. Well, there was a whole shaft look. It's definitely a shaft look. It's just a natural fro, mustache, leather jacket with a turtleneck. You had to have the shaft had the turtleneck under.
Starting point is 00:12:51 That's funny. Find Richard Roundtree from Shaft, I think, and I think you're gonna see some similarity. So your dad, he, what, so what were his duties as a Black Panther? Well, he was the chief of staff, pretty much going through the different chapters in the nation that they were building, their chapters and making sure that things
Starting point is 00:13:19 flow appropriately, people were kind of doing their job. He was the chief of staff, so he was like staffing, or the staff, he was making sure they was doing what they were supposed to do. Where did the Black Panthers get their funding? Oh, a lot of people. I know Jane Fonda was a real big... So private donations. Yeah. Private donations. Are the Black Panthers still in existence? Maybe in the mine and in the textbook, but not active. So it's kind of weird because you have to officially, you know, when you run a dry cleaner, you may open in 1979, then you close in 1987, like March. Like you're out of business, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Then there are other businesses that just sort of coast because I don't know, there's never an official announcement that today there's no more Black Panthers. So I wouldn't have, you know, you would have told me, I'd go, well, I guess they're at the height of their powers in the late 60s, into the early 70s, and then someone would go, well, what about 88? Were they still around?
Starting point is 00:14:20 And then I would go, I don't know, but I'm not in the Black Panthers. But were they around? Like, do you think they... They, the organization in itself just started to dwindle off as just as a unit. You know, a lot of people was going to jail, people died, people were infiltrating,
Starting point is 00:14:42 government, drugs. We have a side by side, I feel like, you're Dan. With Richard Roundtree. Oh wow. Same outfit. I do, that is crazy. That is crazy. I am the first person that brought this up to you.
Starting point is 00:15:00 It is, you are the first, so do you know what that mean? I look like Richard Roundtree, too. Yeah'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. Should have heard before. You're very good at this. Very good at it. Now your dad, I'm not calling your dad a poser, but I think Richard Rowntree started the look and people followed along. Could be.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I think there was an element of that because Shaft was probably 69. Really, I thought it was 70s for sure. It could be. It felt that way, but man, it may have, Was probably 69 really I thought it was 70s for sure it could Felt that way but man it may have I I don't know we got a we got a look I Right in 69 70. I don't know when your dad. I think it was like 64 so it's around the same time. Oh your dad may have proceeded Oh July 71 Drew's right. We gotta figure out where they got that look from. That's interesting, right?
Starting point is 00:16:05 Her dad established it. Richard Roundtree may have ripped off your dad's look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Well, I mean, when you're playing a part, you do go down and look and see how people in that community dress, and then you rip it off. It became a staple look for the Panther Party
Starting point is 00:16:20 for them all to kind of have. Oh yeah, your dad, well well what year was your dad born? Do you know? I think 51 or something like that. 1951. 51. And when did he join the Black Panthers? Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:16:34 I believe it started in 1964 if I'm not mistaken. So he joined when he was 13? All right. Uh, maybe 68. It's in the 60s for sure. Okay, in the 60s, later 60s. Maybe it was 18 or 19 or something like that. 66 I believe, yes they were young.
Starting point is 00:16:51 They were teenagers when they started. Yeah, all right. And do you know who we sitting next to there, Drew? We're looking at a picture of your dad at a press conference We're looking at a picture of your dad at a press conference. I do not. I will give you $10 if you know who he's sitting next to. Does anyone in this building know who your dad is sitting next to? You ready?
Starting point is 00:17:17 Yeah. Harry Belafonte. No, it's not. Yes, I say Harry Belafonte. Come Mr. Tally man, tally me banana. Daylight come and we want to go home. That is hilarious. Drew just got up and charged the TV set.
Starting point is 00:17:33 He's beside himself. I bet I'm the only person here that saw Harry Belafonte perform. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's Harry Potter. You are so funny. I know better than to question your sensibilities. Well, first things first, why is, okay, why is there 12 microphones in front of one unrecognizable black man, Drew? Because he's Harry Belafonte.
Starting point is 00:17:59 That's what I can't take. But wait, why does that similarity, that isn't, you're very good at this, wow. I'll never get credit for my genius. I'll never, not from the likes of Drew, who didn't believe me. No, no, not that I don't believe you. Do we still not think that's Harry Belafonte?
Starting point is 00:18:16 I know better than to question you, that's for sure. Look, it looks a lot like Harry Belafonte, but there were only a handful of crossover black celebrities back then. Like you could name them, you know, Sammy Davis Jr., Wilt Chamberlain, Muhammad Ali, you know what I mean? We didn't have 30 rappers whose names we don't know. There were a handful of guys.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Harry Belafonte was big into the movement. Oh, yeah Yeah, he was yeah, it makes sense and he was outspoken and he'd be about the right age Yeah, and your dad was just kind of riding shotgun, right? It's like we need to do two looks like shaft I bet you half the headlines were like Harry Belafonte and Richard roundtree sit in on a symposium. Oh My goodness I'll make it $20 Harry Belafonte and Richard Rountree, sit in on a symposia. Oh my goodness. All right, I'll make it $20 if you know. You think it's Harry? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:14 What do you think? What do you think? Ebony, what do you think? I think that's Huey Newton. Huey Newton in the news? Slash Harry Belafonte. You think it's Huey Newton? That's his Newton? You know what Huey Newton looks like? Who?
Starting point is 00:19:29 You Harry Belafonte Huey Newton looks like Harry Belafonte I think she's got it I think she's right God damn it Could be Huey She's right
Starting point is 00:19:44 I don't know. Maybe this is racist, that male. But your dad doesn't look like either one of those. Your dad looks like Richard Roundtree. He definitely looks like Richard Roundtree. So Huey Newton was given this speech. And he would get the 12 mics too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Damn it. Man, you're good. I'm leaving here with how much money now? You're right. I celebrated too early. That was not Harry Belafonte. I mean, it looked like Harry Belafonte, but it looked more like Huey Newton. Yeah, it's Huey Newton.
Starting point is 00:20:15 All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back with Name That Black Guy from the 60s with Ebony right after this. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:21:27 But to your point about her dad's age, I'm having trouble reconciling your age because you look so young. Oh, thank you, Kevin. And you became a nurse in 2007? I was just barely 21. I mean, she started training like 25 years ago. I'm 40.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Oh, you took four years from coming to nurse. So you started training in 03, so it's 22 years ago, right? Long time. Yeah. And now this, this is more lucrative, I'm guessing. But then there was a fashion design moment between nursing and porn. I know.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's a lot. I know, and now I build studios and production studios and Airbnb. I'm just a creative, I get bored easily. You build production studios? Like you design them for what kinds of production? Oh, well, you know, the influencers nowadays are usually the people who utilize them more,
Starting point is 00:22:32 but like adult or... Adult film. Adult film if they wanna rent it out, but YouTubers use them, Googlers, cookers, cooking shows. I feel, it's like a television studio essentially, yeah. Well, yeah, but set production, so every set has a little higher cleaning deposit. Oh yeah, yes. But I'd say hey, I charge the same thing to cooking guys. You know what I mean? It could be a mess.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It could be a mess around here with the hollandaise sauce. That is true. You know? We're not gonna have that. No. No, but if you're just sitting around and. She just got the hollandaise sauce. I'm not gonna have that.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that. I'm not gonna have that We're not going to have that. No. No, but if you're just sitting around and... She just got the whole other sauce.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Took a second. Oh, but if it's just called Middle Age Book Review, I don't need a big cleaning deposit off that guy. You understand? I'm a business person. And your Airbnb and stuff too? I stopped like, what, like seven months ago now. I came back from Vegas into LA,
Starting point is 00:23:27 so that's where I was doing it, in Vegas. Is there, I gotta say this. Is there any excuse for not being able to make money today? I hear it all the time. You know, these people are like, oh, the factory closed, or McDonald's is paying slave wages. Like, there are 700 million ways to make money now.
Starting point is 00:23:48 When I got, when I was young and I didn't go to college, you just, you could be a garbage man, you could be a fireman or you could be like a construction man. That's it. Or a police officer. Or a police officer. Or maybe you could get a job at an airport.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Well, there was no doctor or lawyer if you didn't go to college. That's very. Or a police officer. Or a police officer. Or maybe you could get a job at an airport. Well, there was no doctor or lawyer if we didn't go to college. So there was just some man. You know what I mean? The man. And there was like, there were like five jobs that I was kind of could have thought about when I was,
Starting point is 00:24:19 I became a construction man, but I'm just going to a job, driving a truck. There was no side hustle, anything, or downloads, or YouTubes, or whatever. All these, even Uber, I would have been, I would have made good, with Uber, I would have fucking worked 20 hour days, and just kinda got my hustle on,
Starting point is 00:24:40 and saved some money, put some money aside, and stuff like that, I would have just worked. There wasn't any of that. Every, seems like every other business I walk by just has a help wanted thing outside. There's just ways to get paid now. So if you can't figure it out, it's cause you're lazy. It's not cause there's not something to do. Or you don't want to do certain things for some reason.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Oh yeah, yeah. Well, I'll file that under lazy for some reason. But there's a lot of that, like, I don't do that, I don't do this, I don't do that. We were just like, whatever, let's go, let's move. Yeah, I didn't know you had a choice about what you wanted to do. You had to work, so that was it.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Speaking of money, what makes the most money for you? Is it porn fuels only fans? Is that kind of how it works? I would say yes, because mainstream Adele is more about the network. It's grandfathered and it's a big company. They have a lot of fans. And so you get on there and their fans kind of become your fans. So porn is like book publishing. It's important, it's like book publishing. It's a marketing opportunity. Yes. They don't pay as much.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Well, I don't know how much people get paid. I got paid pretty well because I was contracted right off the bat with browsers. But your OnlyFans is more your independence. So you see more of it because they give you a check in the industry. There's no residuals for the videos. Even if you win an award or go viral There's no residuals for the videos,
Starting point is 00:26:05 even if you win an award or go viral, but it's different for your OnlyFans, because it's your own hosting, it's your own content. Drew, you know what I said a million years ago? I got fired from my radio job, or they flipped the format. This is early in 09. And so there was no show. When you started your OnlyFans?
Starting point is 00:26:29 There was no contract. Ah, it's been six months approximately after that. Get it, get it. No, I just turned to everyone who was around me because now there was no contract and there's no job. Yep. And I said, the new world order is a trough with a bunch of hoses going into it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I remember you saying that. You were saying, at the time, you said it's just all gotta drip in. You were saying drip, drip, drip at the time. No. I said some hoses are moving a lot of water, and some are dripping, and some are sucking water out. That'd be my family, by the way. Some are actually removing water from that. You gotta get those hoses out, and you gotta get the drip hose,
Starting point is 00:27:18 see if you can turn it up, but the new world order's 100 hoses. It's not one hose, one job, one contract. That is nut. You working for the post office and then retiring at age 71, that ain't it anymore. You're gonna have 75 jobs. And eight of them will be at the same time.
Starting point is 00:27:39 It'll be 75 over your lifetime. It's funny you're bringing this up. I heard yesterday I was hearing a story about Stephen A. Smith, that he's signed some huge contract in ESPN. And I thought to myself, first of all, I thought, wow, there's still places that pay enough to make that worth someone's while to lock themselves into something.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And then I kind of felt bad for him. That's all he's going to be able to do. They will lock him up. So that's like with the contract, which male or female, if you want to, that's considered being like a big star in my industry to be contracted and featured. And that's just how I felt on my contract.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Love the accolade. Very humble, still am. But you can't do nothing else. And I was exclusive to browsers. So I couldn't even get my goal of being like a playboy centerfold till after my contract And that was one of my main goals What is the span between a? male porn star in
Starting point is 00:28:38 Heterosexual sex and a female porn star money wise What does that get guys are really taking over because it's a shortage of people of males that you can they can Sustain the work for years, you know, oh really the guys are getting paid more on contracts, yeah so heterosexual Male porn stars are making more than their female counterparts. Yes some of are, yes. Some of them. But on average, is that? No, not on average, but some. There's always someone, but I'm just saying on average.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yeah, in this era, these guys getting paid pretty good. So they're getting paid more? From what I heard. Really? I gotta look into that. Sustained and what? I'm gonna Harry Belafonte look into that. That doesn't sound correct to me.
Starting point is 00:29:24 They'll tell you. They'll tell you. What does sustained and the workplace mean? I'm not quite Belafonte look into that. That doesn't sound correct to me. They'll tell you. What does sustained in the workplace mean? I'm not quite sure what that meant. Sustained in the workplace like who can be, who can still get the same energy. Their penis still gets aroused. They can go through the hours that is needed to produce the film for years. So it's a young man's game is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And also their body, they have to look a certain way too. Healthy body, make sure your penis don't get broke in certain positions because that could happen too. That's why some men have insurance on it. Does that happen on sets? People are breaking the penis? It has happened. It happens, that's more common than people know. I know. God bless them. So some have insurance on it. On the penis. Oh really? Lloyds of London. When you get your hands registered, why not throw the penis in? I'll see if I can grandfather that penis in. So you say on average male porn stars get paid more. In this era, so what I've heard. I only check my own bag, you know? Uh-huh, you don't know what they're gonna pay.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I don't be mixing, but this is just what it's being told. Does anyone in the industry worry, like the online gambling, eventually they had to start worrying about gambling addiction. Does anybody worry about sex and porn addiction? I think so. Or is it just not really talked about? Not really because we don't really have a platform to be honest with the fans. They want a fantasy.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And we're characters, so you can't really shut them down. Some of them are talkative that way, but they don't want to feel bad about them watching us. So in your OnlyFans, do you ever worry that people are too involved? You have to kind of like, mm-hmm. No, it's not a worry. I'm a magnetic person.
Starting point is 00:31:02 That means that they're going to insist, I got a good fan, a good loyal one. He just talk a lot. Maybe mute him for a few hours. But, uh, we'll be friends. I don't judge. I listen and don't judge. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I just judge.
Starting point is 00:31:16 But I don't listen that much. We know. I do a lot of judging. But the other thing, let me just bring it back. When we talk about the money with the guys, but you said heterosexual heterosexual sex the guys make more because I feel like also the only fans and a lot of the gay men who Can't touch him. It becomes the same fantasy. Oh, they pay a lot
Starting point is 00:31:39 Yes Only fans. Okay. I was thinking more contract stuff. Well, that's what I heard that some of them do, but I'm thinking about it now more or less. There's a lot of gay men. Gay men pay for porn. Yeah. Gay men got money.
Starting point is 00:31:57 No, and they pay for porn. Yeah, that's why I was moving it out of the gay realm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mistake. But it still will be heterosexual sex because they do not touch in each other. Maybe they just wanna pay for a film from him or whatever they pay for them.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Is there a large percentage of the gay community who goes, that guy's straight, but he's still got a hard dick and I'm watching? And I'ma pay to watch him. Watching with a woman? No, a lot of the guys do solos. They might not wanna open up the stuff. Oh, solos.
Starting point is 00:32:33 So look, is that going into the gay world? Yeah, it is going. I didn't know what his mind was going. I'm going into the gay world. Well, if a gay guy just said, "'Here's $8 beat off for me,' I'd go, okay, I think we're getting into the gay world here. I mean, I'd charge more, you know, 12, 15, whatever,
