                                         I really wanted to be a player boy in my adult.

                                         To expose an alleged predator and the rotten industry he works in.

                                         For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story.
                                         
    
                                         And what I heard wasn't good.
                                         
                                         You really f***ed last night.
                                         
                                         It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout.
                                         
                                         I was trapped in addiction.
                                         
                                         You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls.
                                         
                                         And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story.

                                         You usually skip the live ones because they're not as good as in person and you're jealous of the people that are there.
                                         
                                         And you should be.

                                         That's not the nicest way to say it.
                                         
                                         That's actually.
                                         
                                         How was that the nicest way to say it?
                                         
                                         I love how that was me covering up.
                                         
                                         That was honestly the worst way to say it, but that's how it feels.
                                         
                                         I was like, I never want to make someone do anything against their will and so when I look at people I think early on in my
                                         
                                         stand-up career I realized when I would look down at someone like a nervous girl that would be just
                                         
                                         like judging my boots and um if you have any questions poshmark uh $39.95 plus shipping and uh
                                         
    
                                         but yeah I would just see a girl judging my boots and then I she would like
                                         
                                         see me see her and then she would just go and it was just like oh no I just like raped her into
                                         
                                         that like it just felt like she gave me something the same way it used to feel when men would be
                                         
                                         like smile and I would always do it because I'm like this is the least I can do to not get raped
                                         
                                         right now like what what might you do if I don't?
                                         
                                         I would just be like, it's the tiniest little rape.
                                         
                                         And so I don't like to do that to anyone.
                                         
                                         So, oh, and I do like to say that although we are, you know,
                                         
    
                                         doing this live podcast and I can see all of you and, you know,
                                         
                                         there's cameras around, which, you know, people on the podcast know.
                                         
                                         I don't know why they're here.
                                         
                                         We have no idea.
                                         
                                         We're so confused that cameras keep following us, but it's happening.
                                         
                                         I want to just extend to you, everyone here,
                                         
                                         if you want to go to the bathroom at any time,
                                         
                                         we are not going to be like,
                                         
    
                                         oh, look at this guy taking a shit.
                                         
                                         Like, we're not going to call you out.
                                         
                                         I promise you I won't even look at you.
                                         
                                         Now that I've said that,
                                         
                                         everyone will think you're taking a shit,
                                         
                                         but I'm not going to be the one to say it.
                                         
                                         And I just feel like I have to say that now at my live shows because people get so especially now with COVID
                                         
                                         being over and everyone being so you know inside for so long which really behooves some people's
                                         
    
                                         like you know lives I remember my parents kind of talking about when things were first starting to
                                         
                                         open up and we had the vaccine,
                                         
                                         they would go, you know, um, our friends, uh, they don't want to go out there. They're just scared of it. And I go, are they vaccinated? And, and, and you guys, and it's like, well,
                                         
                                         you know, who's going and everything. And they go, no, they're, they just, they're scared of the
                                         
                                         COVID. And I go, no, they have social anxiety. That's what they have. Like that it's the COVID
                                         
                                         is the best thing to ever happen to people with social anxiety which is not it's not a judgment but people have it so when people venture out to go to my shows
                                         
                                         and i think i especially attract fans who might deal with mental health issues especially anxiety
                                         
                                         and going to things i ask people to go alone to things i'm asking a lot of people to come out of
                                         
    
                                         their house and then they might get seated in the middle of a section of the audience and I've been with Andrew we went to go see Dear Evan Hansen
                                         
                                         do you remember that story I remember that story on Broadway Andrew and I went to go see Dear Evan
                                         
                                         Hansen and I had never known this about Andrew but he had a lot of anxiety about being stuck
                                         
                                         you know like being not being able to get out and it's a common fear that I've never known but
                                         
                                         a lot of people related to it and I was like wait what's going on and he was just like very scared
                                         
                                         that at some point he would have to go to the bathroom have a panic attack and it would disturb
                                         
                                         the show and then it would just so he so then that makes his anxiety even worse so i like to always
                                         
                                         consider that person that might have that and say you can do whatever the fuck you want during the

                                         this is my home now and I you know for the time being I'm loving it like I remember the apartment
                                         
                                         the you know in the high rise that you got in New York that you were paying so much for that you
                                         
    
                                         never got to live in dude did you ever go to
                                         
                                         that place I didn't but I knew about it yeah um I am reluctant to talk about that place my mom
                                         
                                         still has nightmares about the money that was spent on that apartment for those of you don't
                                         
                                         know I moved to my parents house during COVID because I was I signed a lease on an apartment in New York for March 1st, 2020.
                                         
                                         And I was in LA until March 14th.
                                         
                                         So I was not even to be living there until the mid month.
                                         
                                         And I had decided at this point in my life,
                                         
                                         I was making good money.
                                         
    
                                         I was having a fantastic, this was gonna be my year
                                         
                                         as which my agents have said for the past four years.
                                         
                                         And then once it's your year, is the next year not your year like that kind of bummed me
                                         
                                         out I'm like I don't want any here to be my year I wanted to just just keep
                                         
                                         pushing it but it was supposed to be my year and and I'm so sorry about it
                                         
                                         because my year I really fucked up my year for everyone I think it was it was
                                         
                                         my responsibility and I don't know what I did. But so I got this place, so much money.
                                         
                                         You know, whatever you're thinking it was, double it.
                                         
    
                                         Like, honestly, it's disgusting.
                                         
                                         And the reason I did it is because I don't have kids.
                                         
                                         I don't, like, buy a lot of expensive things.
                                         
                                         I was just like, people in my life were just like, treat yourself.
                                         
                                         You deserved it.
                                         
                                         You deserve it
                                         
                                         Nikki that's what I hear a lot you work so hard you are so hard on yourself I lived in like shitty
                                         
                                         apartments for so long I decided to spend four times as much I've ever spent on an apartment
                                         
    
                                         and I got rid of all my furniture that I have accrued since like college but it was all crap
                                         
                                         and I was like I'm gonna start over with a designer I hired this woman that did secondhand um designing so she only found salvaged materials which there's
                                         
                                         only one woman in Manhattan that did that so that is someone get into that job because like green
                                         
                                         stuff is like I couldn't believe there was one I think she charged me a eight to eleven grand for
                                         
                                         a lamp she found like for all the work that went into it she did
                                         
                                         the whole place so she did a lot of work and I got an invoice for like eight somewhere around
                                         
                                         eight to eleven grand I remember I don't know why I don't know the specific number it's just too
                                         
                                         painful and um and I'm really bad at looking at money but then all I got it was a lamp out of it
                                         
    
                                         but I was like you know what I learned a lesson just do it yourself next time i never

                                         I'm like, I don't want to deal with that.

                                         So I paid $8,000 a month for 10 months of an apartment.
                                         
                                         I only went in one time because I needed to get some weed out of an old box that was there.
                                         
    
                                         So I had to go through a box.
                                         
                                         My assistant at the time was living there.
                                         
                                         She had a good time.
                                         
                                         But you know what?
                                         
                                         And something I talk about on the podcast all the time is just acceptance of like your body, yourself, your flaws,
                                         
                                         the things other people say about you.
                                         
                                         I mean, the listeners that are here,
                                         
                                         if you've listened to all the episodes,
                                         
    
                                         you've heard me in some really dark places
                                         
                                         and how I've gotten out of those.
                                         
                                         And that for me, I think my mom can even attest to this.
                                         
                                         You were very upset about that number at the time of that I was.
                                         
                                         That eight number?
                                         
                                         That eight number, yeah.
                                         
                                         I mean, it's a disgusting...
                                         
                                         I'm embarrassed to admit that,
                                         
    
                                         but it had an elevator as the front door.
                                         
                                         Like, it...
                                         
                                         Oh, the door was an elevator.
                                         
                                         You've made it, right?
                                         
                                         The only thing, though,
                                         
                                         that I was actually glad I never lived in there
                                         
                                         is that if someone would have broken into my house,
                                         
                                         like, imagine being in your bed late at night
                                         
    
                                         and hearing something,
                                         
                                         and instead of hearing a guy, like,
                                         
                                         break in the door, you just hear,
                                         
                                         ding!
                                         
                                         Like, you're like, hello like hello like that would be scary so I kind of felt okay about it but I really did just learn you know what that was never my money to have that was always going to
                                         
                                         go to that there was nothing I did wrong there I didn't know a pandemic was coming of course the timing was so inopportune so ironic that I got my lease
                                         
                                         then but that I have to do what I said I was gonna do which is pay my rent and I did it and
                                         
                                         you know I can't wait I can't spend every day going I can't what would I do with that because
                                         
    
                                         honestly I'd probably just buy a Taylor Swift guitar that has a sticker on it of an autograph I already own.
                                         
                                         Which is a thing that happened to me.
                                         
                                         I have a question for you.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         How are your feet feeling?
                                         
                                         Thank you so much for asking.
                                         
                                         Because today was a rough day for me.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to lie.
                                         
    
                                         I don't like to lie.
                                         
                                         I went over to my parents' house.
                                         
                                         And I had a voice lesson with my new best friend Aria and I brought her over to
                                         
                                         you know coach me and my dad on a song and
                                         
                                         She was having me hit some notes that were just not easy for me
                                         
                                         And it just made me feel I don't like doing things
                                         
                                         I'm bad at and I'm I was sounding bad and so much like the dogs left the room like and
                                         
                                         And it was the type of sounds that you thought dogs would come to,
                                         
    
                                         you know, like just screeching high-pitched frequencies.
                                         
                                         And they were fleeing.
                                         
                                         Marion was offended.
                                         
                                         And so I started crying.
                                         
                                         And it was nice because I think the only time
                                         
                                         I can really cry is when I sound bad singing.
                                         
                                         I don't know what it is,
                                         
                                         but I kind of just cry every time I sound bad singing.
                                         
    
                                         And I struggle crying, as you know. I don't know if it's antidepressants or just, like, feeling like, oh, are you sad,
                                         
                                         Nikki? So it felt good to, like, cry. And then later on, I cried again about crying. And I was
                                         
                                         like, oh, my God, what's going on with me? Like, I'm just like, something's fucking up, you know?
                                         
                                         Like, I was just, do you ever have that feeling where you're just like why do I like want to like hurt myself today or like drive into a tree or like a off a bridge
                                         
                                         and then you go to the bathroom and you start bleeding and you're like oh okay
                                         
                                         I thought I wanted to drown my dogs because I was crazy but it's because I'm hormonal and it's it just all of a sudden it was so funny
                                         
                                         because these camera people are following me around and it was embarrassing to cry in front
                                         
                                         of all of them a couple times and then I go to the bathroom and I go I'm bleh I'm on my period
                                         
    
                                         and everyone's just like ah and I'm like off the hook for it it's so nice that's the nice thing
                                         
                                         about being a woman we complain about periods but it gets you off the hook so that being said I was feeling kind of down tonight and like feeling even on the way here I was
                                         
                                         like how am I gonna get it up for this and obviously I feel very up but one of the things
                                         
                                         that contributed to that was that I found out so when we were planning this whole thing I mentioned
                                         
                                         to the one of the people that's following me around with cameras, I don't really know what's happening,
                                         
                                         that I go, oh my God,
                                         
                                         an ideal situation would be if someone were like,
                                         
                                         we got a foot masseuse to rub my feet on stage.
                                         
    
                                         Totally joking.
                                         
                                         Just a comment, you'd be like,
                                         
                                         didn't think anyone even heard.
                                         
                                         I said it to no one.
                                         
                                         And tonight, you texted me
                                         
                                         while I was driving over here with Andrew,
                                         
                                         Mandy's here. And I was like, who with Andrew um Mandy's here and I was like
                                         
                                         who's Mandy and you go the masseuse and then all of a sudden one of the camera people that are
                                         
    
                                         following me around for no reason they go yeah it's a the masseuse that you asked for and I go
                                         
                                         I what that I conjured from saying a thing that I didn't even know I said out loud. And I am so fucking excited
                                         
                                         because how ironic is it that this is happening?
                                         
                                         I did not know this was gonna happen.
                                         
                                         And on the podcast episode this morning that we did,
                                         
                                         I pulled in our foot massager and had a foot massage
                                         
                                         from our machine going during the podcast.
                                         
                                         So tonight I have, that foot massager has come to life,
                                         
    
                                         like Beauty and the Beast,
                                         
                                         and she is going to join us on stage,
                                         
                                         and she's just going to rub my feet during the show,
                                         
                                         if that's okay with people,
                                         
                                         because I am not weird about it.
                                         
                                         It might be weird at first.
                                         
                                         We're going to feel it out.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         every type of musical ever.
                                         
                                         We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements and some people you've
                                         
                                         seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are
                                         
                                         making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed.

                                         This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations.
                                         
                                         Like I'm Pete Bill, chatting up with hit maker Sam Holland,
                                         
                                         sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe,
                                         
    
                                         and I've had pleasures of doing one-on-one conversations
                                         
                                         with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA.
                                         
                                         These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else.
                                         
                                         So make sure you go back and

                                         We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop.
                                         
                                         Wow, very powerful.
                                         
    
                                         I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist.
                                         
                                         When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
                                         
                                         I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry.
                                         
                                         I really wanted to be a playboy model.
                                         
                                         Lingerie, topless.
                                         
                                         I said, yes, please.
                                         
                                         Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator.
                                         
                                         You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.
                                         
    
                                         He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
                                         
                                         He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
                                         
                                         It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.
                                         
                                         Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
                                         
                                         It's not just me.
                                         
                                         We're an army in comparison to him.
                                         
                                         Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app,

                                         I started to live a double life when I was a teenager.
                                         
                                         Responsible and driven, and wild and out of control.
                                         
                                         My head is pounding.
                                         
                                         I'm confused.
                                         
                                         I don't know why I'm in jail.
                                         
                                         It's hard to understand what hope is
                                         
                                         when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction.
                                         
                                         Addiction took me to the darkest places.
                                         
    
                                         I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.
                                         
                                         But one night, a new door opened,
                                         
                                         and I made it into the rooms of recovery.
                                         
                                         The path would have roadblocks and detours,
                                         
                                         stalls and relapses.
                                         
                                         But when I was feeling the most lost,
                                         
                                         I found hope with community,
                                         
                                         and I made my way back.
                                         
    
                                         This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery.

                                         Can I have it?
                                         
                                         I want to use it.

                                         last night I woke up a while ago.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah,
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I slept fine.
                                         
                                         I guess I,

                                         didn't hear you watching bachelorette.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Every night.
                                         
    
                                         Um,
                                         
                                         yeah,
                                         
                                         you've been alone the past couple of nights.
                                         
                                         I don't, I don't cry when I watch The Bachelorette.
                                         
                                         What are you talking about?
                                         
                                         What are those sounds then?
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I mean, I cannot get through The Bachelorette.
                                         
    
                                         I am so bored by it.
                                         
                                         And this season, there is a guy on there.
                                         
                                         I talked about it earlier,
                                         
                                         but Mom, did you see The Bachelorette?
                                         
                                         There's a guy who got caught with notes
                                         
                                         for how to win on The Bachelorette.
                                         
                                         First night.
                                         
                                         Yeah the first night.
                                         
    
                                         And I feel so bad for that guy
                                         
                                         because the guy just wanted to be prepared
                                         
                                         for this weird show he's on.
                                         
                                         He doesn't know what he's doing.
                                         
                                         So he drew up some notes
                                         
                                         and these girls go in and they're like
                                         
                                         room raiders this is the thing we always do
                                         
                                         except it's not.
                                         
    
                                         It's definitely a thing that one of the producers
                                         
                                         while they were producing him and being like what are you gonna wear on your first night they were
                                         
                                         like wait he has some fucking notes over there they probably took a sneaky picture of it they
                                         
                                         went back to the producer tent and they go guys we have no they went to the tent well i was i was uh
                                         
                                         behind the scenes on f-boy island i know there's uh tents all over the place there's a lot of
                                         
                                         tents i don't want to i don't want to blow anyone's minds right now or ruin the shows,
                                         
                                         but they got tents, okay?
                                         
                                         There's tents where there are conversations
                                         
    
                                         happening. So I'm guessing
                                         
                                         a producer went back and he was like,
                                         
                                         guys, I saw notes.
                                         
                                         This guy has tons and pages of notes,
                                         
                                         and I saw at the top it said, how to succeed on The Bachelor.
                                         
                                         And they're like, well, how are we going to get those notes? That seems
                                         
                                         like an invasion of privacy to steal them.
                                         
                                         Oh, let's just create a thing we've never done where two of the old contestants go in and kick the guy out and go through his room and go through his stuff.
                                         
    
                                         And so they find these notes.
                                         
                                         And then, oh, are they going to bring it to her right away and go, there's a guy on this show that has these notes?
                                         
                                         No, they're going to let her go on a date with him and have a little fun and have her be invested in him
                                         
                                         and then they're gonna be like hey we just think it's only right for you to know he has notes
                                         
                                         and bt dubs she didn't even like this guy to begin with this is the tricks of all this show let me
                                         
                                         just say because when you go back and watch it all of the all of her like she goes on the date
                                         
                                         and they show like her so whenever you watch a
                                         
                                         reality show i still want to blow your mind but anytime the character like the main character is
                                         
    
                                         talking in like a one the one person thing where they're just making commentary alone they're doing
                                         
                                         that way after the fact of everything come on don't give it away i know i come on but it doesn't
                                         
                                         even even i get tricked knowing that sometimes i'm oh my God, they don't know what's coming
                                         
                                         and she has so much hope.
                                         
                                         She is talking about this.
                                         
                                         She's like,
                                         
                                         I don't know,
                                         
                                         he's checking all the boxes.
                                         
    
                                         And she's on the date
                                         
                                         and you can tell she's like,
                                         
                                         oh my God.
                                         
                                         But in retrospect,
                                         
                                         they wanted it to seem like,
                                         
                                         oh, she had a lot of faith in him
                                         
                                         so this note seems like,
                                         
                                         oh,
                                         
    
                                         but she didn't like him at all.
                                         
                                         So now she's phoning it in.
                                         
                                         She's like,
                                         
                                         I don't know,
                                         
                                         he brought me to an ice cream truck.
                                         
                                         I'm thinking he's the one.
                                         
                                         And then, of course, Tasha and Caitlin come in,
                                         
                                         and they're like, oh, my God, he has notes.
                                         
    
                                         She goes, and she makes him go.
                                         
                                         The notes were a little creepy.
                                         
                                         Let's be honest.
                                         
                                         Yeah, they were weird.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And at first he was like, my friend's wife wrote them,
                                         
                                         and then I wrote some too.
                                         
                                         And she was like, well, which is it?
                                         
    
                                         And then i ate
                                         
                                         the dog and then what he ate the dog he just tried to get out of it i i i think uh if you had a guy
                                         
                                         though taking notes he watched all your specials i would be so flattered really if i was on a show
                                         
                                         where but they were like outline and like and uh you know the numbers and i would want to see his spelling and if he

                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         I have not seen it.
                                         
                                         You are obsessed with it.
                                         
                                         Uh-huh.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Anything else?
                                         
                                         No thoughts. Okay. Yeah. Anything else? No thoughts.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         No, I have a couple.
                                         
                                         No, the ending I thought was terrible.
                                         
                                         I think you should have got on the plane.
                                         
    
                                         Well, don't.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         Oh, I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         You're telling me he doesn't get on a plane?
                                         
                                         I'm just fucking with y'all.
                                         
                                         There's a tent or something.
                                         
                                         Am I going to watch the first episode and be like,
                                         
                                         I know he doesn't get on the plane, and it's going to ruin it for me? You said you wouldn't watch it. I'm I going to watch the first episode and be like, I know he doesn't get on the plane and like,
                                         
    
                                         it's going to ruin it for me.
                                         
                                         You said you wouldn't watch it.
                                         
                                         I'm never going to watch it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It seems too like,
                                         
                                         I'm going to be nervous.
                                         
                                         And I,
                                         
                                         yeah,
                                         
    
                                         you know how I feel about squids.
                                         
                                         Mickey goes,
                                         
                                         are there squids?
                                         
                                         Like,
                                         
                                         that's what her big worry was.
                                         
                                         I thought it was going to be like octopus teacher or squids were going to be like eaten or something.
                                         
                                         Do you ever watch mukbangs where Asian women are eating live octopuses and stuff?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe that's porno.
                                         
                                         All the time.
                                         
                                         No, that's a real thing.
                                         
                                         Wait.
                                         
                                         Why is it squid?
                                         
                                         Why is it called squid?
                                         
                                         Because it was a game that, I don't want to give it away, but this is the first episode.
                                         
                                         And then he didn't get on the plane in the last one.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, Andrew.
                                         
                                         Dude, one time I told my buddy who Kaiser Sochi was
                                         
                                         before he watched,
                                         
                                         and it was probably the most shitty thing I've ever done.
                                         
                                         But in retrospect, Kevin Spacey taught me.
                                         
                                         He got me.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he really, he was like,
                                         
                                         oh yeah, you're gonna give away who I am in that movie?
                                         
    
                                         Wait till you find out who I really am.
                                         
                                         You would wish
                                         
                                         I had a limp.
                                         
                                         That one's coming.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that is...
                                         
                                         Dark. Okay, anyways, the show's great.
                                         
                                         Yeah? Yeah, I recommend it.
                                         
                                         I think the first episode
                                         
    
                                         is probably one of the best first episodes ever.
                                         
                                         I love this guy. He's like
                                         
                                         downtrodden.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you claimed that he was the best actor
                                         
                                         you've ever seen in your entire life today.
                                         
                                         Who's seen the show?
                                         
                                         Who?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         How good is that actor?
                                         
                                         Is he really great?
                                         
                                         What's his name?
                                         
                                         What's his name?
                                         
                                         Oh, Noah.
                                         
                                         Oh, thank you, Noah.
                                         
                                         Thank you so much, Noah.
                                         
                                         Daniel Day-Lewis, I think it is.
                                         
    
                                         That's the only actor in DiCaprio and Shia LaBeouf
                                         
                                         yeah and Shia LaBeouf
                                         
                                         but I just wear his wardrobe
                                         
                                         do you like this guy's wardrobe?
                                         
                                         we know that you tend to just kind of rip off celebrities
                                         
                                         but I wait for them to die
                                         
                                         you wait for the opioid crisis

                                         wait how did you do that how'd you cry at a sunset like i've never seen you cried something so
                                         
                                         beautiful and he goes what did you say i thought it was you cry at a sunset? Like, I've never seen you cry at something so beautiful. And he goes, what did you say?
                                         
                                         I thought it was actually pretty.
                                         
                                         Well, I thought of my mom because she, this is sad, but she has emphysema, which is COPD,
                                         
    
                                         which is, I got to keep going.
                                         
                                         It's just a lung disease, which she has to be on oxygen.
                                         
                                         So she can't travel that much.
                                         
                                         And she definitely can't swim in the ocean because it's not a scuba tank.
                                         
                                         It's a oxygen tank.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It doesn't work that way.
                                         
                                         I tried.
                                         
    
                                         I pushed her in.
                                         
                                         But she just sank right away.
                                         
                                         It was weird.
                                         
                                         You thought it was the same thing.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It was weird.
                                         
                                         But she's still going.
                                         
                                         But yeah.
                                         
    
                                         But you were like, yeah, my mom just like, I just realized I was getting to do something
                                         
                                         that my mom will probably never, ever get to do again, you know?
                                         
                                         And I go, oh my God. And I almost started tearing up. I was just like do something that my mom will probably never, ever get to do again, you know? And I go, oh, my God.
                                         
                                         And I almost started tearing up.
                                         
                                         I was just like, that is, like, really sad.
                                         
                                         I was like, so did your mom, like, did she, like, love swimming?
                                         
                                         And he goes, no, I don't think I've ever seen her go in the water.
                                         
                                         She never, we lived on the water, and she didn't go near it.
                                         
    
                                         Like, pre-oxygen.
                                         
                                         I'm talking when she had all her lungs.
                                         
                                         She was still not swimming at all.
                                         
                                         It was so funny.
                                         
                                         She hated the beach, actually.
                                         
                                         Maybe that's why I was crying because I was like, man, I hate this too.
                                         
                                         Just like my mama.
                                         
                                         It was so funny.
                                         
    
                                         Just you being like, no, I never even saw her step foot in water.
                                         
                                         Not even a bath.
                                         
                                         We grew up in Florida.
                                         
                                         Like, there's no excuse.
                                         
                                         So then we just started saying,
                                         
                                         like, a bus would drive by
                                         
                                         and I'd be like,
                                         
                                         I can't believe your mom
                                         
    
                                         will never get hit by a bus again.
                                         
                                         That's never even an option for her
                                         
                                         because she, like,
                                         
                                         I mean, it just,
                                         
                                         you can turn it,
                                         
                                         you can make it anything.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's, yeah,
                                         
                                         I mean, you know,
                                         
    
                                         she'll never, you know,
                                         
                                         you know, something creative.
                                         
                                         She'll never something creative.
                                         
                                         Again.
                                         
                                         You know?

                                         It's like tingling.
                                         
                                         You know what?

                                         I'm not hitting on her.

                                         Excuse me?
                                         
                                         Masseurs.
                                         
                                         Licensed massage therapist.
                                         
                                         That's so long.
                                         
                                         LMTs.
                                         
    
                                         But that takes out
                                         
                                         the hand job part of it, right?
                                         
                                         Masseuses, you think,
                                         
                                         she's going to give me something.
                                         
                                         Wait, you think that is what adds the...
                                         
                                         Well, I think that's why they go licensed massage therapist.
                                         
                                         You know you're not going to get a happy ending.
                                         
                                         They're going to just...
                                         
    
                                         I guess that's what the license is all about.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         The places you used to frequent might not have...
                                         
                                         Yeah, they were very unlicensed.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.

                                         Like, why?
                                         
                                         Like, this isn't me asking.
                                         
                                         First of all, you offered me money.
                                         
                                         At first I did, and then you go, I don't want the money.
                                         
                                         I don't want the money.
                                         
    
                                         And then I didn't give it to you.
                                         
                                         But that was reverse license massage psychology.
                                         
                                         I wanted the money.
                                         
                                         I obviously always want the money.
                                         
                                         Who doesn't want it?
                                         
                                         I will pay you.
                                         
                                         You owe me $700.
                                         
                                         Okay, I will pay you for massage.
                                         
    
                                         Because you said $100 massage.
                                         
                                         I've been keeping a tally.
                                         
                                         You do it for two seconds
                                         
                                         and then when I start going,
                                         
                                         ow, you dig harder.
                                         
                                         It's like that's your sign.
                                         
                                         You know when you have sex sometimes
                                         
                                         and you're like, oh, that's great.
                                         
    
                                         And then they keep doing it,
                                         
                                         but they change it.
                                         
                                         Women do it too. I hear it as a common complaint on Reddit. It's like, if sometimes and you're like, oh, that's great. And then they keep doing it, but they change it. Women do it too.
                                         
                                         I hear it as a common complaint on Reddit.
                                         
                                         It's like, if we tell you we like it, don't change it.
                                         
                                         Like, I think that's a thing that happens.
                                         
                                         That's what you do with massages.
                                         
                                         Like, you'll go harder and you really do torture me, which I love.
                                         
    
                                         You could go harder, bitch.
                                         
                                         I don't want to hurt your hands, but it doesn't hurt your hands.
                                         
                                         Do you have to do exercises?
                                         
                                         I mean, you've got to build up endurance.
                                         
                                         You build up endurance.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         To get ready for that mountain of a bunion.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I mean, that's a pretty big bun, right?

                                         It's like a pregnant woman's belly.
                                         
                                         I have to rub like oils on it and sing to it at night.
                                         
                                         It's like the animal from Spaceballs.
                                         
    
                                         So it recognizes my voice.
                                         
                                         Wait, did you.
                                         
                                         Does it ever come out of the skin though?
                                         
                                         Have you ever seen a protruding.
                                         
                                         At night mine does.
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         And it comes in your room.
                                         
                                         And it gently just nuzzles your head.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         No, it doesn't... There's no...
                                         
                                         You want to ask...
                                         
                                         You ask me about bunions.
                                         
                                         Don't ask her.
                                         
                                         She's busy.
                                         
                                         I know about bunions.
                                         
                                         Okay, has a bunion ever fully come out of the skin?
                                         
    
                                         No, it does not come out of the skin.
                                         
                                         Your skin can hold a bunion in.
                                         
                                         That's the rhyme that every podiatrist learns.
                                         
                                         No, they don't come out of the skin. We gotta get to the news.

                                         I went down a path.
                                         
                                         I was faster than my parents,
                                         
                                         and I kind of went off on my own.
                                         
    
                                         It was very scary.
                                         
                                         I was rescued by some gnarly ski bums, dude.
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         You had to be dragged down the mountain or whatever?
                                         
                                         Not dragged, but they were just like,
                                         
                                         what's this 12-year- old girl doing by herself at the bottom
                                         
                                         of the you know King Tut
                                         
                                         lift or whatever it was
                                         
    
                                         and yeah and they scooped

                                         And so we nicknamed him old 12 falls.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         that was stuck
                                         
                                         on the mountain fall,
                                         
                                         I guess.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And I ended up going down.
                                         
    
                                         It's a 10,
                                         
                                         it was called.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         And I didn't know what 10,
                                         
                                         I didn't know what that meant.
                                         
                                         Like a black diamond?
                                         
                                         No, it was 10 kilometers.
                                         
                                         So it was just a green
                                         
    
                                         that just slowly,
                                         
                                         so by the time I got down, it was like nighttime. And my was just a green that just slowly. Oh, that's like seven miles. So by the time I got down,
                                         
                                         it was like nighttime.
                                         
                                         And my friends,
                                         
                                         my friends were all betting
                                         
                                         that I was dead.
                                         
                                         And then,
                                         
                                         and then they were like,
                                         
    
                                         we're going to go
                                         
                                         helicopter skiing tomorrow
                                         
                                         because Andrew's slowing us down.
                                         
                                         And so they were all happy
                                         
                                         that hopefully I was either,
                                         
                                         or like broke a leg.
                                         
                                         Oh my God.
                                         
                                         And then they saw me just,
                                         
    
                                         what's it called when you,

                                         Always just talk about your feelings and never ask a man how he feels unless...
                                         
                                         Noah?

                                         That's what she said.
                                         
                                         Dr. Pat Allen said,
                                         
                                         don't ask a man how he feels unless he's on fire.
                                         
                                         They don't want to talk about it.
                                         
    
                                         Have you met this woman in real life?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What's she like?
                                         
                                         Well, I talked to her on the phone.
                                         
                                         Yeah, she just does phone calls.
                                         
                                         She's very, very intimidating.
                                         
                                         And she also did our show, You Up.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         I had a private consult with her one time.
                                         
                                         She seemed like a good time.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I mean, she's almost like that Dr. Ruth kind of character.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         I got to change because that's what I want in a relationship.
                                         
                                         I don't want to be the one that's like, I think this.
                                         
                                         So it's interesting that you say that I think and I feel so women are instructed to only
                                         
    
                                         speak with I feel.
                                         
                                         And it does.
                                         
                                         And I've said this before.
                                         
                                         The book you start go, you go, I have to live like a goddamn handmaid.
                                         
                                         And the truth is, yes, but not forever.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Just until you get the guy, and then he dies.
                                         
                                         And then you get to go back to the way you were.
                                         
    
                                         But at first, yeah, you gotta do all these rules.
                                         
                                         But what you do learn is, like,
                                         
                                         you're actually,
                                         
                                         because Noah, we batted up against this a lot
                                         
                                         with this book of, like,
                                         
                                         now we have to dress sexy for men
                                         
                                         we have to wear uncomfortable clothes so that they look at our bodies and think of us sexually
                                         
                                         and then we can't have sex with them and then we also have to always speak with our feelings
                                         
    
                                         and we can't ever tell them what we think even if we know what what's better we have to just go what
                                         
                                         do you think i should eat for dinner and then they tell us and you go, oh, I feel like that's a good idea.
                                         
                                         And it's just like,
                                         
                                         oh God.
                                         
                                         But the thing is,
                                         
                                         it actually honors
                                         
                                         what you,
                                         
                                         how you want to be handled.
                                         
    
                                         And it taught us
                                         
                                         how to set boundaries.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         And those are...
                                         
                                         That's very hard
                                         
                                         to set boundaries.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it is.

                                         Like that's the,
                                         
                                         that's what you would think would happen.
                                         
                                         Right.

                                         knows what she wants and she can say I don't have to say it in a way that's like you would ask for

                                         secretly gonna resent you for asking for this thing that I actually know that you know I want and I didn't
                                         
                                         know that worked with sex so I feel like if I ever have a daughter I'll drown her and wait for a son
                                         
                                         but if I am forced to then have a daughter uh yeah I'll name her Zevia no I feel like the sex
                                         
                                         talk I'll give my daughter is you know don't ever do anything
                                         
                                         you don't want to do which i think men go duh why would a girl do something she doesn't want to do
                                         
    
                                         but you don't understand how we're conditioned in society to just be people pleasers even the
                                         
                                         ones that are like someone like me who people go wow you're so confident and badass and it doesn't
                                         
                                         mean we've been manipulated by people.
                                         
                                         We're just, you know, guys want to have sex.
                                         
                                         And so if we like a guy,
                                         
                                         we want to just like give him what he wants.
                                         
                                         That's why when my mom used to say to me,
                                         
                                         Nick, save your sex.
                                         
    
                                         Save it.
                                         
                                         I never knew what that,
                                         
                                         that was a weird way to say what you meant.
                                         
                                         But save it, Nick.

                                         who's my uh good friend we couldn't get over that that um words of wisdom you gave us and i remember
                                         
                                         at the time being like but i like sex mom you're. You're a prude. You don't like sex. It's easy for you.
                                         
    
                                         The thing is, you like a good banging, right, Dad?
                                         
                                         You enjoy it just as much as the rest.
                                         
                                         But you learned to respect yourself and say, listen, I'm not going to give that to you
                                         
                                         until you, like, you know, prove to me that you take out the garbage.
                                         
                                         And she's still waiting for that, Dad.
                                         
                                         That's all it takes.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit of a tangent,
                                         
                                         but the funniest thing was I try to,
                                         
    
                                         I really try to live by this in my life
                                         
                                         of like communicating with feelings more than think
                                         
                                         because I don't even like to boss a guy around
                                         
                                         and be like, I think you should do this.
                                         
                                         I'm really careful about that
                                         
                                         because that's something that I do in my business life and
                                         
                                         in a relationship.
                                         
                                         I don't want to be that.
                                         
    
                                         And someone I was using.
                                         
                                         You should try to do it in both, you know?
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         You should try to bring it over to business.
                                         
                                         I'm glad you had fun with that.
                                         
                                         Why do you have to be so weird about it?
                                         
                                         I feel hurt by what you just said.
                                         
                                         No, no, no.
                                         
    
                                         I didn't understand what you were saying.
                                         
                                         Oh, this got weird. No, no, no. I didn't understand what you were saying.
                                         
                                         Oh, this got weird.
                                         
                                         No, no, no.
                                         
                                         It didn't.
                                         
                                         How's your feet?
                                         
                                         No, my feet feel great.
                                         
                                         But the problem with the think thing, I don't know if you've run into this.

                                         We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop.
                                         
                                         Wow, very powerful.
                                         
                                         I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist.
                                         
                                         When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
                                         
                                         I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry.
                                         
    
                                         I really wanted to be a player boy in my dog. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please.
                                         
                                         Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator.
                                         
                                         You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior.
                                         
                                         He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
                                         
                                         He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
                                         
                                         It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.
                                         
                                         Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
                                         
                                         It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I started to live a double life when I was a teenager.
                                         
    
                                         Responsible and driven and wild and out of control.
                                         
                                         My head is pounding.
                                         
                                         I'm confused.
                                         
                                         I don't know why I'm in jail.
                                         
                                         It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction.
                                         
                                         Addiction took me to the darkest places.
                                         
                                         I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.
                                         
                                         But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery.
                                         
    
                                         The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses.
                                         
                                         But when I was feeling the most lost,
                                         
                                         I found hope with community.
                                         
                                         And I made my way back.
                                         
                                         This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery.

                                         This is our celebrity news segment, Why Do I Care?
                                         
                                         What's going on in the news?
                                         
                                         Here are the results of a survey about rich people versus normal people things.
                                         
                                         It's not a...
                                         
                                         Okay, well, we've deviated from the original.
                                         
                                         We're trying to keep it evergreen.
                                         
    
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Oh, right, right, right.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Why don't we just say Rihanna takes quiz.
                                         
                                         Okay, so the difference between rich people.
                                         
                                         If this is normal or rich.
                                         
    
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Living in a house, not an apartment.
                                         
                                         Rich or normal?
                                         
                                         I would say normal.
                                         
                                         Eating out every week.
                                         
                                         What kind of eating out are we talking about?
                                         
                                         Both is abnormal.
                                         
                                         I would say that's a rich thing.
                                         
    
                                         Normal.

                                         It's happened to me a couple times.

                                         Okay, what's been your favorite part so far?

                                         I don't want to put you on the spot.
                                         
                                         So you are going to talk to our fans
                                         
                                         and have them ask questions
                                         
                                         and just kind of be our audience person.
                                         
                                         So I just need to go find this fan.

                                         And so we're going to ask a question.
                                         
                                         What is the question?
                                         
                                         Well, you have to find the person that's going to ask the question.
                                         
                                         Are you my question?
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Here's our first question.
                                         
                                         Ask her her name.
                                         
    
                                         What is your name?
                                         
                                         This is Anna.
                                         
                                         Anna likes making cookies on Sundays.
                                         
                                         Anna doesn't like people telling her what she should do.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Who knows the reference?
                                         
                                         Bob, do you know that reference?
                                         
                                         No. That is from
                                         
    
                                         Love on the Spectrum, where every
                                         
                                         person you meet... I should have known
                                         
                                         that. You should have known it. I really hope
                                         
                                         she doesn't have autism and we're like, oh, that's
                                         
                                         the show.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That would have been very embarrassing.
                                         
                                         Sorry, I should have known. That's that autistic
                                         
    
                                         thing.
                                         
                                         That was great. Thank you. That's that autistic thing. Oh my God.
                                         
                                         That was great.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Thank you.
                                         
                                         That was great.
                                         
                                         Good job on that.
                                         
                                         Okay, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         What?
                                         
                                         That wasn't it?
                                         
                                         No, that wasn't her question.
                                         
                                         That was her intro.
                                         
                                         You know, I don't even know what this Fanthrax thing is because I don't listen to your podcast.
                                         
                                         I know you don't and I appreciate it.
                                         
                                         You told me not to.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
    
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         Thank you.
                                         
                                         Now you told me not to. Thank you for not listening. Thank you. And now you told me not to.
                                         
                                         Thank you for not listening.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         What is your name again?
                                         
    
                                         Anna.
                                         
                                         It really is Anna?
                                         
                                         I thought that was part of the show.
                                         
                                         Wait, why would Anna be a joke?
                                         
                                         I thought it was Anna from the show.
                                         
                                         Well, she just did an intro like people on Love on the Spectrum do.
                                         
                                         So on Love on the Spectrum, every time you meet someone, they're like,
                                         
                                         Michael doesn't like worms and dirt.
                                         
    
                                         He loves the sound of lips on an apple.
                                         
                                         Like they just like describe,
                                         
                                         I don't even know.
                                         
                                         Okay, sorry about that, Anna.
                                         
                                         But she was just doing a specific thing
                                         
                                         of what she likes.
                                         
                                         What did you not like?
                                         
                                         What did you like again?
                                         
    
                                         I like, like baking on Sundays.
                                         
                                         Oh, okay.

                                         Well, get it in front of you.
                                         
    
                                         I'm going to put your logo on one of the tins.
                                         
                                         I freaking love popcorn.
                                         
                                         It was, like, a problem for a while.
                                         
                                         Do you think, like, how do you feel about vegan cheddar?
                                         
                                         Just in general, like, would it be good on a popcorn?
                                         
                                         I think it would be amazing.
                                         
                                         I think I would probably have to eat it with chopsticks because that vegan cheddar
                                         
                                         does get like sticky on your fingers um i am so down for it in fact i think what i would do with
                                         
    
                                         it is i would take um i would take like uh some kind of vegan yogurt and like i used to dip a
                                         
                                         spoon in yogurt this used to be like my weird kind of anorexic snack, but it checks out.
                                         
                                         It's legit good.
                                         
                                         Or sour cream.
                                         
                                         You literally, Fat Fairy sour cream, if you can find a vegan kind, dip your spoon so that
                                         
                                         it covers the spoon, not a big glob, and then you dip it in the popcorn and then you eat
                                         
                                         it and it's like has the cool and the crunchy.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Is that weirding you out?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Okay, so that's what I'm going to do with it.

                                         Trust me.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'll even take some plain.

                                         We use a butter flavor, so it still kind of has a butter, but it's vegan, all the things.
                                         
                                         Great.

                                         Hey, Alice.
                                         
                                         So Lauren and I both listen to the podcast every single day,
                                         
                                         and we always talk about different
                                         
                                         moments yes so one that's been coming up a lot is just on instagram people take the most universal
                                         
                                         liked things like dogs and coffee and make it their entire identity it's very
                                         
    
                                         it's terrible things that everyone likes.
                                         
                                         And you know what it is?
                                         
                                         It's my thing.
                                         
                                         And I got this from my ex-boyfriend over there, Chris.
                                         
                                         He used to say it's white people because we don't have any culture.
                                         
                                         And so we look for identity.
                                         
                                         We can't be like, oh, it's like the homeland.
                                         
                                         Or like, oh, our struggle.
                                         
    
                                         Like we've had none.
                                         
                                         So we're like coffee
                                         
                                         and like just like whiskey and tacos right isn't that we have no culture and
                                         
                                         so we look for identity and things everyone likes stop saying that your
                                         
                                         hobbies are whiskey and tacos those are nouns they aren't even adjectives or
                                         
                                         verbs is what I meant. It's so annoying. Cuh. Cuh.
                                         
                                         Wow, angry.
                                         
                                         It gets me so mad when people are cuh.

                                         I'll just hear the rev.
                                         
                                         I'm in bed, and I hear it.
                                         
                                         And I just hear, and I just go, by myself,
                                         
                                         just under my pillow going, kuh. I know, yeah.
                                         
                                         It becomes so therapeutic, and almost,
                                         
                                         you can't help yourself saying,
                                         
                                         I kuh'd my canker sores the other day.

                                         like I was on an Island and I haven't had water. Like I haven't, like I was on an island and I haven't had water.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         When's the last time
                                         
    
                                         you drank just water?
                                         
                                         Sometimes water is so good.
                                         
                                         It's been a while.
                                         
                                         It was at the hotel
                                         
                                         I stayed at in LA
                                         
                                         because I,
                                         
                                         the mini fridge,
                                         
                                         everything,
                                         
    
                                         I couldn't open.
                                         
                                         Like you could not open it
                                         
                                         no matter what.
                                         
                                         I gave it to a bunch of people
                                         
                                         that came over
                                         
                                         and I was like,
                                         
                                         you try this.
                                         
                                         And they were all women
                                         
    
                                         like doing my hair and makeup but we could not get it open.
                                         
                                         So I had to use the tap and I said, water.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I definitely was like gross, but I just, I don't drink water either.
                                         
                                         I'm over being, hating myself for not drinking water.
                                         
                                         Final thought, like I can't, I used to get up in the morning in New York and I used to
                                         
                                         chug water until I was sick.
                                         
                                         And that's when I knew, okay, I'm getting enough enough water and then I can just like forget about it for the

                                         people's whole personality is the the recycled water cup thing that you bring

                                         peas getting started um yeah so he ended up being really nice anyway i was intimidated by him at
                                         
                                         first it was my goal because me and my friend emile one we were going to the show in milwaukee

                                         And we both were laughing about how that would be the funniest song to kill yourself to.
                                         
                                         Like, in the history of people committing suicide, there's had to have been like, tonight's going to be a good, good night.
                                         
                                         I got a feeling.

                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I get it.
                                         
                                         It's got to top the list.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's a lot and my goal was to tell him that
                                         
                                         and record it for a meal just to have that like to like because whatever happens if he's like what
                                         
                                         the fuck that's funny because i've shared it with someone and if he laughs then that's even better
                                         
                                         and i never got around to it but um i did do an impression of halsey that made him like me it like
                                         
    
                                         at first he was a little bit,
                                         
                                         and I shared this on the podcast today,
                                         
                                         but you guys are getting it again.
                                         
                                         I, we were hanging backstage,
                                         
                                         and he doesn't know who I am.
                                         
                                         I introduced myself to him,
                                         
                                         because he was like, where are you from?
                                         
                                         And I'm like, oh, I live in St. Louis.
                                         
    
                                         And he was like, oh my God, wow.
                                         
                                         And I go, and I'm just like, I go, I'm a comedian.
                                         
                                         And he was like, oh, cool. Okay, okay, cool.
                                         
                                         And so later on, like, you know, 15 minutes later, he goes, so where in Canada?
                                         
                                         And I go, I know I'm from St. Louis.
                                         
                                         And he goes, but you said you were Canadian.
                                         
                                         I go, no, oh, my God, a comedian.
                                         
                                         Wait, you think I was just like, and I'm a Canadian.
                                         
    
                                         And he thought I was a stand-up Canadian.
                                         
                                         I was like, it's much worse than that.
                                         
                                         But he was like a little bit, you know, these guys,
                                         
                                         when you meet super famous people, it takes a second to win them over.
                                         
                                         They're kind of like, I don't know.
                                         
                                         And then you do one funny thing and they go oh okay now I'm
                                         
                                         comfortable and thank god we were talking about different singing voices and they were all talking
                                         
                                         about how the new voice is just the vocal fry they're all every woman just sounds like this

                                         and finally we were like
                                         
                                         we got one
                                         
                                         and he just
                                         
                                         he holds it back
                                         
                                         and he goes
                                         
                                         bombs over
                                         
                                         motherfucking Baghdad
                                         
    
                                         and I was like
                                         
                                         no
                                         
                                         you pitched like
                                         
                                         and you were like
                                         
                                         I feel like it's hey ya
                                         
                                         yes
                                         
                                         it's Hay-O.
                                         
                                         It's so funny.
                                         
    
                                         But just the confidence of like, I'm a motherfucking man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         That's a guy who hasn't been told no in a while.
                                         
                                         So anyway, he was honestly not like I would think most celebrities to be.
                                         
                                         And I hate to be one of those people like, he's different, you guys.
                                         
                                         He was cool because he was nice to me.
                                         
                                         But honestly, that's the only criteria I need for that statement.
                                         
                                         But at one point, I hit the thing.
                                         
                                         Or someone hit the thing.
                                         
    
                                         And the mic, or no one hit it.
                                         
                                         And the mic just came out, right?
                                         
                                         Like out of nowhere.
                                         
                                         And the director of the show, you could hear the voice of God.
                                         
                                         They were on the mic like, okay, moving on to the next scene.
                                         
                                         She just goes, oh, misfire on set.
                                         
                                         Oh, boy.
                                         
                                         And I just go, and everyone felt it, but no one could say anything.
                                         
    
                                         And it was just like this.

                                         Wow, very powerful.
                                         
                                         I'm Ellie Flynn, an investigative journalist, and this is my journey deep into the adult entertainment industry.
                                         
                                         I really wanted to be a player boy in my adult.
                                         
                                         He was like, I'll take you to the top, I'll make you a star.
                                         
                                         To expose an alleged predator and the rotten industry he works in.
                                         
    
                                         It's honestly so much worse than I had anticipated.
                                         
                                         We're an army in comparison to him.

                                         For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story.
                                         
                                         And what I heard wasn't good.
                                         
                                         You really f***ed last night.
                                         
    
                                         It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout.
                                         
                                         I was trapped in addiction.
                                         
                                         You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls.
                                         
                                         And then, I decided I wanted to tell my own story. I was trapped in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls.
                                         
                                         And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story.
