I'm back with more one of interviews with some truly kick ass women on The Girl Friends Spotlight. I'm going to climb it!

It's badness, hereditary. Let's see how we can stop feeling. I'm not too intimidated by her. What are you talking about? Listen to The Girl Friends Spotlight on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Brief Recess. I'm Michael Foot. I'm Melissa Mabranch. Today we're going to be talking about planking and how it foreshadows the collapse of society. We're going to talk about presidential theater, the RFK Kid Rock music video, how we made all the flatboys days by giving them a dab rig. cathartic trash talk about Christy Nome and Don Jr and Pam Bondi.

We're going to have an interview with prolific adult film star musician Boomer Banks, and all of the tales from the dams are going to answer your questions to stick around. Were you ever smoker?

I was okay, sorry, mom's watching. No, you never smoked. No.

In high school, like everybody. Yeah. Out by the dumpster. No, just smoked. We would like to drive around in front of us.

I just steal my dad's cigarettes. Okay, you told me that. Yeah. My dad smoked Marbo Red Hard Pack, and then he moved over to the soft gold pack. Yeah.

It was better for you. Yeah, it is. You can know it. It gives a little. It's a nicer. It's a smoother. Okay. It's healthy. It's really interesting about the smoking that I did is that I did it because everybody else was.

Sure. You didn't even like it. Not that much. Yeah. I talked about this with Karen and Kelly a Martha Kelly.

And when I was out in LA, we talked a lot about smoking because it was like what we were doing back then. I mean, I feel like this generation is all vaping. It's not about cigarettes.

I'm actually always really surprised when I see a young person smoking a cigarette.

Yeah. Like, oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, you. Okay. Okay.

So I'm like keeping that alive.

“I think the boys from heated rivalry are smokers.”

And I see them like on my Instagram. I think they really. I think so. I'm not just bread information, but misinformation, but I do feel like maybe at least one of them is.

Interesting. Yeah.

Someone sent me like a through social media, they sent me a gift.

And it was like all this smoking perfinalia marijuana though. It was like, I think that's different. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely.

But it was like, um, really complicated stuff. And I'm not that serious about marijuana. I'm not.

“Did they send you actual marijuana or did they send you?”

No. Okay. No. Interstate. Interstate commerce.

No. No. No. No. It was just like, um.

It was like a bomb, but it was like very modern looking. And then something else was like, it was like a metal thing for, I think people do like a wax or some sort of resin that they smoke. And I didn't, I'm not, I'm really not that serious about it. Do you ever feel like we are running out of shit to do ourself? Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. We're running out of shit to do ourself. Yeah. We're running out of things to talk about. We're running out of different ways to like alter our appearance.

We ran out of things to do when we started planking. Back in like 2009. That was when we were like, can't shut it down. Like that's a wrap. Planking the kids is over.

That was it. When I saw an Australian school girl planking on a car on a Toyota. Yeah. No. That was when we ran out of shit to do.

Did you do it? No. I talked about it a lot though. So you never did it. No.

I was too old. I wasn't going to plank in law school. I'm going to quite a criminal law. I don't know. Yeah.

I also planking in the courtroom. You're on our excuse. No.

“I don't even seem like a really weird and uncomfortable thing to do.”

Yeah. Yeah. No one's going to risk your entire body. What do you do with your face when you're planking? Get in the comments if you've ever planked and let us know.

Where'd you put your nose? Send us a picture. I need to see that. But let's not reintroduce that to people. Don't plank.

You look just too bad. Let's get into a sidebar. How's your week been? What's happening? What's going on?

What's happening? What's happening? I decided that I was going to sort of like disengage from the news last week. Oh, how that go? Right as we're entering a war with a rod.

Right. Oh, because of that. Exactly. Okay. I was like, I'm tired.

Yeah. I'm tired of a lot of things. But I am tired of like the incessant cruelty and the violence. Sure.

So it's almost always the people who have the most to lose who lose more.

Yes. I have a therapist once say that the human brain has not evolved to a place where it can

“comprehend mass scale suffering at all times because that's what we're witnessing.”

Every time we look at our phone, every time we turn on the news, we're watching other people suffer at a grand scale. Our brains really are in a quick to handle that at all times without break. The thing is that we now have more access to the violence. Yeah.

So that now I'm seeing pictures, right? Like I don't want to see like another beheaded child. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because you can't unsee those things.

Yeah. And it's the kind of thing that I will think about later. You know what I mean? And maybe that's a good thing, right? Maybe it's good that I'm thinking about it.

But I think it's something about your humanity. If it's bothering you. Yeah. Like I think that's important. If I get to a place where I don't give a shit, that's a bigger.

That's the more concerning. I think a lot of war reporters talk about this where they do end up getting so dissociated. Yeah. That they can. But I also wonder.

Nothing bothers them anymore. That's a way to protect yourself, right? Well, if you're constantly seeing those things, then if you are constantly being upset about it. Your brain's protecting you from the 100%. I saw something today that 95% of Google searches of the Epstein files have gone

down since the war in Iran. Like the distraction is working. Yeah. I'm not going to shut up about it. No, and we shouldn't.

We shouldn't shut up about it. And the other thing that I'm tired of. I'm tired of watching the presence of the United States be. I'm tired. I'm just existing with weird rashes on this neck and hand.

And the disgust is so overwhelming. Yes. I'm tired of how crooked he is. Yeah. I'm tired of this sort of like how disgusting he is to look at.

I'm tired of like how he's still pretending to kind of be a president. Like he's giving a state of the union address. As if everything's normal. As if his approval ratings aren't 29%. I mean, particularly.

So, but the reason he has to do that, right? Yeah. Because in order to sort of like, that's the part of the grift. Right? Is that I'm going to act like there's nothing going on.

And on the contrary, I'm going to tell you, my numbers have never been better.

Yes. Everybody loves me. We're doing phenomenal job. This is incredible. Really incredible.

And it's the speech they give you like right before layoffs at a company.

Yeah. Yeah.

And it's just like a society.

Christy gnome. And like. Oh. What's his name? It's just too much.

It's too much. Yeah, it's just. Who's the guy who did like one pull-up. He's like the head. He's like that.

That head of defense for America. I think it was Pete Hikesett. He did like one pull-up. All right. You know what?

Let's take a break. Let's get into your algorithm as shown.

“Because this is straight from your algorithm, I think.”

And it came up on mine, too. This is the other thing that I'm sick and tired of, right? That weird as a video that RFK did with Kid Rock. That's the start of every gay porn. I'm sorry.

Those Kid Rock and RFK. We can't get a porn. Today we have 100. That's how my mind. Yeah.

I did. We got boomer banks. Yeah. We got a bad bassar on the weekend. Let's ask him about RFK Jr.

And that's honestly like a less weird intro to probably some of the gay porn that boomer has been a part of. Yeah. I mean, the thing about it is is like, okay, let's just for for the sake of whatever. Right.

Let's assume that we think that RFK is doing a great job and we like him. Yes. Let's just say that. Sure. Is there any part of watching that video that makes people feel uncomfortable?

Like, I feel like I'm looking at something that I shouldn't be saying right now. What? What's going on? It's like, someone air dropped me at this. Yeah.

Right. And then what did I say? Newton's Law at Lost Physics.

It's always the person you don't want to see.

In the gym locker room. In the lock strap at the lock strap part. Yeah. Shlanging and banging. Yeah.

It's always like that. It's like a rock-looking mother fucker. And that RFK looked like dude. But yeah. I watched that for like.

And I kept them going back. I was like. And then for the ear notes. And your work. Because I was like.

I was just going to actually we're just going to circle back to that. Yeah. If we could refer back to that. Why is why am I not seeing anybody? Echo.

How fucking weird it is. It's weird. It's so weird. The times did like a breakdown of it. They were like, what is this?

So we're also what is it promoting? It's like something. Remember when the report was going on? Right. Point.

Some like reporters from the UK. BBC reporters went undercover in North Korea. Mm-hmm. And like filmed the weird things that would happen in North Korea. It was like that.

Like some of the strange footage that was like lost. And he got into an ice bath with his jeans on. I mean, I don't want to like bought. I don't want to like get into body shaming anyone. Oh no no no.

That's not what it is. That's not what it is. It's not that weird. That's weird.

“And also I think I also don't know what the point was.”

What were you trying to show us? Right. Are you showing us maybe that RFK who is in good shape? Sure. Versus kid rock who is in not in good shape.

And maybe we're trying to get kid rocked. Right. Like what is it? What are we trying to tell here, right? What was this like?

I honestly wore there any words with the video. It was just like, I know. I know. I know. What's it?

I know. What's it? And then you get out of the ice bath with your jeans on. There's nothing worse than a wet pair of jeans. I'm sorry.

I've done a lot of drugs and alcohol in my life.

And I've never gotten a fucking bath tub with my jeans on.

Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely.

I know what we talked about this. I know. But like history of murder. It's like a matter of course that people just jink a lot in new drugs. I never did.

But I'm not saying that it fucking trophies in the mail. No, no, no, no, no. I don't mean that for you. You have all your natural teeth. Yeah, I do.

Nice. Must be nice. But no, I'm not saying it that way. I'm saying that it's really interesting. I was so uninterested.

Yes. And that's what I mean. Oh. Was the only thing I was interested in? Interesting.

Yeah. I mean, I was in a small town. There was nothing else to do. Especially if you were gay as shit. There's nothing else going on.

There's no other gay people. I'm there. I'm the gay people. You just didn't know. My only friend committed suicide.

Oh, no. And I was like 15. Oh, that's awful. And it was like the only other gay person I knew. Yeah.

So we're going like weird dark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll trigger warning me. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

TW. But yeah. So it was like, I'm also not going to fucking do. Let's hit the bottle. Yeah.

When I was like younger.

“So that's why I was like smoking and drinking and experimenting with drugs.”

I guess I wasn't addicted to drugs. Which is good. Yeah. Which is why I'm not triggered when people mail me all sorts of drug or something.

I was so random. Nobody mails me shit. I would like something. There was so much. I could have given you some of these.

I don't want that. Okay. Well, there were two bombs in the one bomb looked like a coffee cup. It was like, you flipped the straw up and that was the, it was like, oh, that's kind

But I was like, I don't really smoke out of a bomb.

“So I was like, there's this area in my apartment building where you leave things.”

There's no one anymore. Wait, is it gone? So I was taking it downstairs. And it was on Saturday night. Because I went off ride a night.

So Saturday night was the night of rest. Okay. We're a Christian household household. Sure. And so we're cut in the elevator.

And it's like a group of frapp boys in the elevator. And I was like, oh, okay. Do you guys want this? I was like, do you guys know what this is? And they're like, oh, yeah.

We know what that is. That's like a bomb. And they like took in there, like took out of the packaging.

They're like, are you sure you don't want this?

It's like really expensive. And I was like, yeah, I'm like, I'm good. Thank you. I learned how to roll a joint in 10th grade. I'm like, that is how I'm smoking.

I think smoke. And they were like, so I hear them leaving the building. And they're like, yo. And then they like yelled the name of the brand. They were like, it's this brand.

Oh my god. It's like, whatever. Yeah, it's puff code. They were like, it's puff code. Did you?

Oh my god. That guy gave it. It was so funny. I could shoot them like leaving the building. It'd be the brand now.

It's going to be upset with you. But you gave away their thing. No, I think they were like, they just sent it. They were like, I don't think they were like, you must. No, no, not you must.

But like an ounce. Well, I feel like if somebody is sending you merch. Yeah. They would like for you. I think I think they wanted me to like post about it.

Correct. And now instead, you've given it to a bunch of fat boys. Michael is an in-great. Me, however. You know what?

I made those fat boys night. They're still talking about it. They're like, you did.

“Remember that bald guy in sweatpants who just like gave us this.”

Like, oh, wait, what guy? No, the old guy? Yeah, you know, like on his late 30s. Jason, stay thumb. Who was it?

It was that guy. Wait, oh my god. Wait, my algorithm. Yeah, what's your algorithm? Yeah, what's your algorithm?

Like talking about like dark stuff. I don't have a PSA. I saw yesterday that there's. There's a report that DHS and I are moving pregnant migrants to Texas. So that they don't have to provide abortion care.

Because in Texas, it's basically illegal to get an abortion.

It's almost impossible, especially if you're at a detention center. Right. And so there's been this like big expose that they are indeed doing this. And I thought it was an important opportunity to talk a bit about. Well, there's this term that came up in the report called a pregnant child.

That people have really are hung up on rightfully so. Sure, a pregnant child. Child and they're usually survivors of sexual assault, trigger warning. Yeah. I think it's really important to talk about because I saw a lot of comments.

People sending it to me asking me about child pregnancy. What that is, why that is and to sort of like do a breakdown of that. So I think it's important to highlight. Yeah. That rape survivors are oftentimes not afforded abortion care in Texas.

That's very real. That's a women's issue. Yep. And it's this like awful crossover episode with what's happening in immigration in America right now. Yeah.

Because they're sort of like forcing these survivors of rape to carry out a pregnancy. That oftentimes my experience when I have migrants helping me for help as their lawyer and their pregnant. They're fleeing a regime where sexual violence is sort of like a part of the culture. Right. Part of the humanitarian crisis in that country.

Right. They're coming here for asylum relief to get away from that. Right. Humanitarian crisis to a country that's supposed to be recognized as a place where we have basic human rights. Yeah.

And especially women's rights and women's care.

“So I wanted to highlight that because I think I hear this a lot of like, well, why are they here?”

There's just like a lot of not understanding like why migrants are here, why there are so many migrants in America. And I will say that it's because we are our location is a place where people can access America. And it's one of the places where we're supposed to have these rights in this care. And they get here and oftentimes they're held in a detention center that is in worse conditions than the country they're fleeing. So this sort of like misconception around, oh, well, why don't they just go home?

Or you they wanted to move here because they wanted to be a rapper in a music video. Right. No, they're 13 and they were raped and they're now pregnant. Yeah. And they're coming here to get away from their family or their asylum.

There's more horrible conditions of yeah. I had a client who is an adult now who I was representing. And a part of the military regime regime when they were growing up in their central American country was that sexual violence against children was a part of a military strategy.

And it was documented and institutionalized in the government and military.

“So I think what people are like, why do they want to come here or a judge will ask my client, what do you want to do when you're here?”

What's your dream job? And it's like, no, baby. We're literally just trying to survive. I'm trying to survive. Like, it's not.

I would like you to survive. I'd like the opportunity to live provide a certain standard of care for my family. For my family and myself. Yeah. But that is exactly the kind of thing that I'm sick of.

Do you know what I mean? And I understand that I need to hear it, right? Yeah. But sometimes I just need a break. And take that break honey.

Do you know what I'm saying? I mean, something because people, so many people contact me like, hey, I'm burning out. But I watch your videos because like, you get me hope and it's a little bit of insight. But I'm not anxious. It's not the doom scrolling.

That's a little bit of a disruption from that.

And I'm always going to take a break.

Yeah. Go to yoga. You also provide the information with some humor, right? Thank you. You do?

I try. No, I try. But sometimes it gets really serious. You definitely also have your serious moments.

“But it's, I think that that's what makes it palatable for people, right?”

Is like, oh, this guy is obviously smart. He's talking about, but he's also, like, funny. I guess so uncomfortable with compliments. I'm sorry. It's not anything.

It's not you. I know. But when you're very welcome. It's hard for me to like, that is, it's hard for me. Well, compliments are hard for a lot of people.

But somebody said something to me once. They had said something to me and I was like, no, whatever. And they're like, you know what? That's actually really fucked up. Like, take the compliment.

Take the compliment. Because now you're making me feel bad, right? No, no, no, no. That's what you're doing. So when somebody gives you a compliment, just say, thank you.

I appreciate that. OK, let's take a break. So I can not be so red. Hi, I'm Danielle Robe, host of Bookmark to the podcast by Reese's Book Club.

In this podcast, we pledge to feel back the layers and spell out the truth. One Greek letter at a time. Pludges and actives, rush chairs, and ritual keepers.

Some call it the best time of their life. While others say it's a nightmare. From a perfect rush to recruitment scandals. What is really going on behind the doors of those sorority houses from Alpha to Omega? We're taking you inside sorority row, including the chapter room.

A ranged marriage is basically a reality show. Except the contestants are strangers and your entire family is judging. You're sitting coffee with one maybe, grabbing dinner with another, and praying your carmy can or Barbie appears before your shelf life runs out. Trust me, I've been through this ancient and unshakable tradition.

I jumped in hoping to find love the right way, and instead I found chaos, cringe, and comedy. And now I'm looking for healing. Boys and girls dives into every twist and turn of the arranged marriage carousel. For me, talk world, the near misses, the heartbreak, and let's not forget all the jokes. Listen to Boys and Girls on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, it's Alec Baldwin this season on my podcast.

Here's the thing I'm speaking with more artists, policymakers, and performers that compose in Mark Shaman.

It's the pleasure of hanging out with the people that you're with.

You know, Robin Eye was always a great hang.

We would sit in kibits for hours and then eventually get around to the music.

“That's what I mostly think of when I think of him, the time together, laughing.”

Lawyer, Robbie Kaplan. The great gift of being a lawyer is the ability to actually change things in our society in a way that very few people can. You can really make a difference to causes, and I say to you, if you bring the right case at the right time. And that's your quality. Yeah, when there's the perfect example.

And journalist Chris Whipple, every White House staffer, they work in a bubble called the West Wing. And it's exponentially more so in the Trump White House. Listen to the new season of here's the thing on the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 10, 10 shots, 5, City Hall building. A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene.

From iHeart podcasts and best case studios. This is Worshack, Murder at City Hall. Could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that! July 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons, and in less than 30 minutes.

Both of them will be dead. And everybody in the chambers of dogs, a shocking public murder. A scream, get down, get down, those are shots, those are shots, get down. A charismatic politician, you know, he just bent the rules all the time. I still have a weapon.

And I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was affected flat now. That may have been not a bit political, that may have been about six. Listen to Worshack, Murder at City Hall, starting on March 25th on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Did you see the thing that I'm making the scene posted where she's down?

Some of the movies that cost us, because you know, she's $20 million ad, can't pay much for all the time or barbie.

Talk on measures, dude. My father said my father said my father said. I can't keep making my cane. Where's his going with anything? Where do you fall on the political spectrum?

Because now she's what is she talking about Christy Nome and how expensive the plane was? I mean, sure. Yeah, I guess so I'm sure that it was our like budget hawks. Yeah, and but also I think, you know, she loves to talk about her father. My father is my father that it's actually really frustrating.

I do the permit feels like we just let that man rest in peace. Please, because I'm conjuring him up again. If I die you in my permission to go on the book circuit just with, you know, we can't have earnings.

“Me, whatever you have to do, dancing around with me on string.”

Done. I got you. You've got my express permission here on the show to go for it. You sell those tickets. I will sell those tickets.

But I think that her father is one of sort of the last Republicans that we had been used to. He was not like this new kind of Republican, right? Yes. He would sort of like, I remember he would just surprise people with his votes when he was the spring. The swing vote.

Yeah. Who are we like? Yep. Exactly. Different actually.

And people would never really know.

I think somebody who were the agree with him or not had a certain standard of ethics that he subscribed to. And because whether you agree with those ethics or not. Correct. Right. They were there.

They were there. They had them. He had them. But like you said though, I think that he was Republicans tended to be fiscally responsible. Yeah.

Yeah. This is, this is not. This is the actual opposite of that. This is the actual opposite of that. What were the movies, CJ?

It was. Openheimer. Openheimer. Barbie. Talk less than the plane.

Top Gun Maverick. Do you? And the Batman girl by she will be in person at some point. I certainly hope so. I certainly hope so.

Yeah. Ready for the trial of it's going to be. I'm going to watch. And he's in and like I said, like he's going to throw these people under the bus. I mean, he already stole the view from the of the undercarriage of the M 15.

“It truly, that's what's going to happen.”

Because I mean, how many scaramoches did she last? What was that? 37.2. 37.2 scaramoches. She lasted.

That's actually pretty good. I love that scaramoches and measurement. It's a measurement of time. I'm going to be about three scaramoches late, like. I'm running the marathon and how many scaramoches.

So inside or say, Trump was angry when Christina revealed in testimony that Trump knew about

This was so how stupid. I'm actually insulted that she and her friends thought that we were stupid enough that we wouldn't find that her friend created an ad company.

Nine days before the no bid contract was awarded to set ad company to a friend that was so easily traceable back to Christie. The fucking this frissel on the magic school bus. I found that shit. Like there is no way that anyone was going to sneak that in. There were no shell companies, there were no panel of papers this was.

“But I think that this is exactly what they do, right?”

They really think that the American people are stupid. I love the uneducated like they keep on and that's what it is. And the other thing that I find so fucking galling is that they all think that they're the ones. They're the clever ones. They're going to be the ones who get away with it.

It's like the senator who thinks that he's not going to get caught propositioning somebody in a bathroom, right? John Jr. The day after the Iran War bought all this stock in a drone company. Like you have the same last name as the president. It's your, it's the same name.

I hate that very much. This is what I'm saying.

It's like, it's like not even, it's not even clever.

Just sit on dumb bitch juice like freshly squeezed. And then the abstinence files are still in the news. Yep, they are. I hope because I'm keeping them there. Yeah.

Pam Bondi, our friend Robert Garcia, friend of the friend of the pod. I'm the pod. Just subpoena Pam Bondi and we'll continue to fight for survivors, which we love to see. Yeah. Yeah.

Especially subpoena Pam Bondi. This is the same woman. These are the things I keep me going. So, like, keep them for work because you're so tired. But these are the things that I hear about the energized.

No, I hear you. But this is the same woman who there were some obscene survivors sitting in back of her.

“And when she was being, when she was testifying and they're like, will you turn around and look at these women?”

And she absolutely refused. She like pretended to take notes and stuff. Like I said, the cruelty and the stupidity is like overwhelming. The paper is just like a doodle. It's just like a script.

She's just writing her name. I remember the ex, the S that we used to do in the 90s. Like three lines, three lines. Yeah. Yeah.

Everybody did that. Yeah. It's, it's that sort of thing. Yeah. Yeah.

It is. I would love to see her and orange jumpsuit, too. It's truly become like Hollywood East is DC. It's really become just like an entertainment movie making machine. Yeah.

It's just so ridiculous. If the internet, when we were all dunking on Christina, last week when she got, she got God. That was some of the most beautiful memography I've really seen in a long time. Not memography. We got to bring back the national endowment of the arts to support the memography.

That I saw last week on the internet because that was beautiful steps this work. It was. It wasn't happened to a nice person. That is. That is a cautionary to tell about fillers. Christy known. That's the other thing I want to say.

Be careful. Put down the pump because Christy known how old to she. She's got to be really. No. No early 40s, 30s. I think if you know him as my age, yeah. She's 54.

Wow. Okay. Yeah. So maybe it's not a cautionary to tell the fillers. No it is. It is.

It could look her. Again, and, and, and it's, forget how we feel about her, but it's sort of again. It's like this idea of when you do a medical intervention on your face. You don't know how your face is going to. What? You don't know.

You don't know how your face is going to react. You know what? It's a medical intervention like it's a stint.

“Well, no, but I mean, like people do that's what they're doing, right?”

Like these sort of like cosmetic interventions. Right. When you when you like interrupt what the Lord was working with and then with. And I and I and I. And I.

And listen, I completely understand the desire like you look at your face. And you're just like, I wonder if I just. Yeah, yeah. A little.

But the problem is that you don't know how your face is going to react.

And isn't it better? I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. Isn't it better to just sort of age and look like yourself then to sort of. And now her face is like a roadmap.

It's like, oh, like. No, but it's, but it's not. I'm not even trying to be mean like I'm just saying. No, but it's, it's like Caroline, what's her name with her lip filler. Is that what the.

The injection dots. The dots. Is that, wouldn't you be better to have? It was like lighter lip. It was like the cracker barrel to connect the dots on the kids menu.

Yeah. So remember that? Very bad. That's why only change your hair. I'm coming in with an 18 and chewing her bundle next week to the pod.

Okay.

I'm going to be a different person. Are you really? Nope. Hello. I do.

We talked about if I went to Turkey and just got like a full head. A hair. I don't know. Came back ginger. Yeah.

I don't even know if I'd be able to look at you right in the eye anymore. You would look so different. You don't know this about Melissa. She does that with anyone with her. She won't look them in the eye.

But it's actually like my problem with somebody in front of me.

Like does something to their faces and I'm always like.

Like, I'm like, do I look, do I not look my dad? Do you want to? Yeah. My dad. The biggest yenta in the world.

Would see somebody. And say something. And but like, but like, look at me. And be like, Melissa. Look.

Look. Look. Look. Look. Look.

Look. Look. Look. Look. Look.

Look. Look.

“But that's what happens when somebody's got something distracting”

on the face. If you can't keep it, you can read your little face. You don't have a poker face. I'm not for that. I don't.

I'm just like. And then I do this thing where I feel like, okay. So I'm going to look at them for a beat of two. And then I'm going to look. Look.

I'm not a rhythm method. Because not the counting. Oh, my god. Not the rhythm method. Melissa.

And we all know the rhythm method. It works. It works. Because we were like, why is most accounting to herself? But like, it's just got my phone.

Because I feel like I have to like try and balance the like the normal eye contact with the night. So speaking of me,ography. I saw Chris Jenner's face lift. I've seen this.

Someone put a meme out there. That said, they stepped on her back and yank to when they told her and they did her face lift. Because she really does. And someone did a cyber sight.

It was like 55 and 56.

And she looks incredible.

She looks so good. Kathy Griffin talked about how that doctor. She wouldn't say the name. But it's a million million dollars now. Yeah.

That face lift. Because she looks so good. She doesn't look at it. But here's the problem. Chris Jenner looks good.

“Who's to say that I'm going to look good.”

If I had this. Does I'm saying, you don't know what your face is going to. What your personal face is going to do, right? Do you ever do a divine corpse in our class? No, what is that?

Okay. You fold a piece of paper up in each person draws a little part and then you. Where did you go to school? I went to, I went to unaccredited boat that sank. I was never heard of it.

I've never heard of it. Okay. We don't need to go into my education. Wait. What is it called?

A divine corpse. You basically fold a piece of paper and pass it around the room. Divine corpse is coming up as a Christian. Excuse a corpse. Okay.

You said divine corpse. Okay. What is it called? Exquisite corpse. What were we talking about?

We were talking about plastic surgery. Oh, yeah. The surge. There was something plastic surgery on my feet as well. The ear hair removal.

Look at my, with wax. Turkish, the Turkish ear hair. Yeah. Yeah. That's so satisfying to me.

It is. Because it looks like a really fucking hurts. I'm sure it does.

The guys are always like, "I hate you."

Anytime you put hot wax on your skin and you yank the hair out, it's gonna hurt. Right? That's gonna hurt. I get waxed every four weeks. I've been doing it forever.

It's still fucking hurt. I want your eyebrows. No, I thread my eyebrows. Is that? That's very painful.

It's very painful. And it's different from plucking how. I don't know. Okay. We're going to research that in my back.

Yeah. Was there sexual chemistry energy from that RFK video that you saw? No. Were you feeling like? I was, I was so overwhelmed with disgust.

It's not down in the distance. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's just you feel like something really cool.

I've never felt dryer in my life. Like to close the door. It really brought you back to your sex eye class from the nun. Yeah. That's true.

Yeah.

“I hate that I don't remember that so clearly.”

It's true. If I would remember, if I were taught sex effect from the nun, I would remember. My typing teacher was just a Nancy and we hated her. A week's class.

Sister Nancy. Sister Nancy. Did I say it funny? You said it. What did it?

I have my book take. Oh, really? You were like sister Nancy. This is a Nancy. Um, we used to call her a sister shift bitch.

She was horrible. You know how to type right, though. Yeah. You know what? Type in our guests name on your work computer.

I won't. Our guest is a prolific gay porn star. Yep. Boomer banks. I'm so excited.

I met him a party a couple weeks ago. He was really fun and he came on. He's a DJ now. All right. Okay.

So, this is a new crew shift bitch. Hi.

[music playing] [music playing] A silver 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. From EyeHeart Podcasts and best case studios. This is Worshack, Murder at City Hall.

How could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that. To lie, 2003, Councilman James E. Davis arrives at New York City Hall with a guest. Both men are carrying concealed weapons. And in less than 30 minutes, both of them will be dead.

[music playing] And have everybody in the chambers of dogs, a shocking public murder. They scream, get down, get down. Those are shots. Those are shots, get down.

You know, he just bent the rules all the time.

I still have a weapon. And I could shoot you. And an outsider with a secret. He alleged he was effective flatbound.

“That may have been not have been political.”

That may have been about six. Listen to Worshack, Murder at City Hall. Starting on March 25th on the EyeHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [music playing]

Welcome back to Brief Recess. I'm Michael Foot. Today we have the extraordinary prolific household name, famous Catholic pastor, Boomer Banks. Also known.

We're covering Catholic. [laughter] Are we on? Also known as an extraordinary adult performer, entrepreneur, entertainer, DJ, anything else?

Coma? Anything else you want me to add? I could do a submersault. Yeah? Okay? We love that. Do you see that in subject-tole videos?

No. That's a poet opener. Yeah. Just I mean, I'm just-- I mean, I think that would hurt. [laughter]

That's what would hurt. That's what would hurt. That's what would hurt. That's what would hurt. And that's all you need to know.

That's all you need to know. Well, thank you so much for joining us. I thought it would be fun to have you on. I want to talk about the adult entertainment industry,

“your experiences in it, your life is just fast.”

And it's a complete different, like, from what you guys usually have on it. No, we have everyone. No, everyone, yes. But yes.

This is our first time really diving into this,

but I think it's so interesting because I think the adult entertainment industry is opaque. A lot of people don't know what happens behind the scenes. They don't know that these are paid performers. These are contracts.

As a student. But you don't see it. Well, much of that. Everybody watches it. I'm there for no matter what they say to you.

No matter what they say to you. And also, they seem to think that we are health care professionals. Really? They ask the most craziest questions. Like, if some of you comes to HIV positive,

okay, me to know something, which I do. And which is crazy. So to further that, I did become well educated. Sure. With my sexual health because people would come,

and I didn't want people of color not to have. I won't ever give anybody. I am not a health care professional. I will let them know, hey,

“this is what I know, but you should ask your.”

And that's great. But a lot of times in rural like Ohio, there is no queer doctor for them to go to. So, you know, I give them some sort of guidance. And that's all I could do.

But it's very interesting how much they think we know. They want to tell us things. That's interesting because like that is not at all what I would think. Like if I were. A lot of us grew up.

Very okay with their sexuality. Sure. And one, I don't know about all of us. But there's a lot of people that are okay with sexuality. And they don't need to center themselves in that sexual arena.

And be like, oh, they know. Yes. Do you think it's because people have watched you? That they feel like they know you. And therefore feel comfortable sharing something with you.

Yeah, everybody thinks they know me. You sure they do. Well, I mean, I think I think that people often think that they know. Famous people. Like because if you see a news anchor,

if the person comes into your house every day, your favorite. Yes. Your favorite television stars. So, and if they're watching your movies,

then they will feel like they know you. And I have an interesting relationship with that. That word famous and celebrity.

I always talked to my therapist about it.

And it doesn't even talk about right now. Makes me uncomfortable. I get that at this like ginormous level. Like I am known. It's, I mean, a lot of times it's very clear.

But one of the funniest things is you. I'll be at an airport. And there'll be a man like pushing a baby car with his wife. And he gets flush. And you're like, oh, that man.

Don't watch his cable. Why are you so red, sir? Sir, excuse me, TSA and I'll smile. And they'll just like, not know what to do. But yes, it is, it is very interesting.

But it's also interesting in the way that like a lot of people do know, but they don't want to admit that they know. Right. They'll pretend like they don't know you. Or they've never seen you.

Well, that's more of a, of a gay thing for these gays. It'd be like, oh, what's your name? That's not because you're in a, they do that to me too. And then, and then they, I'll be like, oh, I'm not being a gay.

And then they'll be like, oh, I'm not being a gay. Or they're in your DM messages. Yeah. With various gay people saying pictures. Yeah.

Yeah. That you could see the religion. Yeah. Okay. Our teams are probably a little different.

But some people will be asking.

No DMs really quickly. So I shared the other day that I was like, I was like, I was like, seasonal depression is real. Mm-hmm. You know what I said? What was it?

What was it doing? It wasn't a gram, Lindsey Graham. Oh my God, please. [LAUGHTER] No.

And so, and then, but then, I posted a picture of me and my dog. And I was like, oh, this is my care for season of depression. And I just kept getting all these, like, gaping hole pictures. And I'm like, oh.

Didn't care your seasonal depression. No. But it's like, I just was being vulnerable. Mm-hmm. But I was like, this is what I, and I posted,

I was like, I guess this is what I signed up for. Oh my God. Yeah. You know. Oh my God.

But I just literally just put some guys, like, do you want to see the video of me? I just put a piece of soap up my butt. And I was like, what are we doing? My butt, I was broke.

The pores, yeah. The pores, I hope it was an Irish brand. I would think that would burn. It would happen. Yeah.

I just, I was bringing your skin dry up. Oh my God. You trying to soap scum from Irish cream. I just remember in college when I would hook up with a frack eye.

The whole bathroom would smell like that Irish cream. Yeah. Axe bodies, right? No, well, also that. No, I just bring layered with that.

With Axe bodies, right? Yeah. It's like a, but you can still smell their musk because they don't really clean themselves properly. No.

No.

It's always those used up box or shorts that are.

Oh, my God. I'm crunchy. I'm crunchy. I'm crunchy. No, I'm crunchy.

You're like, what is this not moving like fabric? Do people? So it's going back to your DMs and stuff. Right. So what do you think is the desired result?

“Are they hoping that you will access to you, right?”

Access. Okay. And it is, it is my, I allow a lot of it because I'm very open about my sexual health. About my, I'm sobriety.

So many things that I do about how I advocate for trans and queer. Because I identify as queer. Because to me, what I realize, what actually porn, it helped me realize, is that I don't really identify with the world. We're gay because gay to me was gay white males, right?

And it's become this whole thing. On Twitter, there's LG B, or they don't, they don't put the T or anything else. They don't put in the stuff in. They don't. No.

And I have done scenes with trans men. And they will, they're like, you're straight. You're doing straight porn with women. And I'm like, that is a man. Also, it's not near fucking business to tell me what I am.

Right. Yes. Because someone posted on the scene that I did with a trans man. And they're like, girl. And I'm like, what are you doing?

People and comments are wicked and wild. I can't. Oh, that's not even. I mean, that's, I feel bad for my trans brothers and sisters. Yeah.

And I just block now. I don't even engage anymore. Yeah. But I mean, I, you know, I'm very open about my HIV status as well. And people will tell me to die of AIDS.

Sure. They just flat out. It's almost like, because I don't respond to them the way they want me to shine.

“And now with like the internet, it's almost like if you want to engage with an audience,”

or you want to be an accessible public figure, who, you want people to be able to come and ask you a question, or you want to be supportive of your trans siblings in the queer community. It's almost like the cost of doing business nowadays that you have to be willing to, especially now people are so involved until like,

Well, they, they feel safe. Don't they, right? They're, right? Well, and there's someone in the White House that is allowing them to, they know what I mean.

Yeah. It's a so-so. So, so now people are showing them, or ask this. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

People in my, well, and so to further, I left the proper adult industry three years ago. Mm-hmm. I didn't make a big announcement. I think it's weird. People are like, I am quitting porn.

Cool. Great, good for you. When are you doing it? Yeah. Great.

So we didn't know you started. From the way you, and it before you did. It was a good, uh, over a decade. Okay. Like a solid decade.

And they just, um, last, not this January, but the, January before that they gave me Hall of Fame awards. Mm-hmm.

And I'm only the second person of color to ever win that award.

Mm-hmm. And there's so many beautiful people of color in,

“do you, is there a lot of racism in the porn industry?”

So, racism, to me, I equate hate. Yes. Okay. There's a lot of prejudice. Okay.

There's a lot of instilled, um, uh, uh, uh, you know, prejudice.

And it's just a bunch of Caucasians. Like when I started at the studio that I started at, um,

they asked me to be exclusive right after my first scene.

They were like, the president called, and I thought I wasn't, because I'm next addict and every time someone calls, that's higher than me. I think I'm in trouble.

“And I was like, oh my god, what did they do already?”

Oh, no. And they're, they offered me exclusive contract to me, exclusive for this company. And it's one of the biggest gay porn companies. And I was like, what?

And they're, they're basically calling me a really good whore. Like they're like, you're really good at graduation. We should give you more money. Mm-hmm. And it's, and it's unusual to get out.

It's very unusual. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I, it was my first scene. And I did it in my 33, it was, I was 33 years old that day that I did that first scene. On my Jesus' year. Why?

My Jesus' year I did porn. What was that? What was that? Why were they seeking you out like that?

Um, so I, I just, I've always been very comfortable with my sexuality.

Um, and it helped that I was doing a scene with someone from New York that I had known before. Um, maybe I don't know. I just like, even the director, who I call my porn mom, Steve Cruz. Um, he was just like, you're really good at this. Mm-hmm.

I was like, how are you? Good at this. But it's not what you guys think. Yeah. It's not like, only fans now has revolutionized everything.

“Like, you could just, like, film, and that's more genuine, right?”

I guess. Um, then what was present because, like, literally, they have a checklist. I was going to ask you. There's a checklist. They're like, we're going to do oral, but then we're going to jump into this.

And then we're going to go back to this. It's not in chronological order all the time. Mm-hmm. So it's not like, we're just going to film you guys have, you know? Yeah.

Um, so I was not ready for that. Um, but I was, I guess, because they asked me to be exclusive. And I was like, hold on. We just went on one date, like, yeah, right? Um, but there was no one like me on their network.

There wasn't. It was just Caucasian men. And even though they asked me to be exclusive for raging talent, which was the more, um, like, alternative brand that they had at Falcon, um, I was still browner than everyone else.

Mm-hmm.

And the first year I came in.

And I had told them because it was, um, so I also tell the story that, um, I think actual porn stars, like, cease to exist with supermodels. Once there was complete access. Yeah, like Twitter and, and, and, and, you know, Ted from Ohio can show his whole. And yeah, put, I'm a porn star, right?

Yes. Because on Twitter he's showing off. Mm-hmm. Um, that's great. Ted, you could have that word. Right.

I am not that. Right. Mm-hmm. Pornsters to me were like, an accessible, like, you know, on, I watched VHS porn.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So there was a big box porn. Yeah, right. Yeah.

You don't know about VHS's fuck off. Yeah, obviously. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And, uh, so those guys were porn.

I was, um, it was, uh, God, I can't even think of names right now. But one of them, um, was very queer and very open as in was France whilst I got. And, uh, he's just French guy. And, he has this tattoo full head tattoo, like, blacked in. Okay.

And it's like a, like a hairline thing. Mm-hmm. And, um, he's still beautiful to this day. Um, very popular. He did fashion.

He was queer. Like, he was queer. He wasn't gay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

He was fair. He, sometimes you'd see him. Yeah. Was that meant you idolized? And that, and I, I knew that I embraced my femininity.

I knew that I was versatile. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. A lot of things. Right.

But, you know, when I started, I was very pigeonholed into one thing. I was just a top. I, I was just this. And, and I get why. I was like, if that was the case.

And that's why. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

I, I was larger than, probably anybody, not anybody, but a lot of people. Okay. And what they didn't bargain for was this, a personality. Mm-hmm. Like, they didn't.

“And, and that when I told them, like, I, I know that you guys had François as this, right?”

Exclusive before, because do what you did for him, for me. And they're like, oh, well, François, I did a lot. I was like, you do you. Mm-hmm. I will do me.

And literally paper magazine, the New Yorker, timeout magazine, time, the New York Times. They all wrote about this porn guy that knew how to cut tour gown, because I moved to New York for fashion. Mm-hmm. And I was a nightlife.

And like, a lot of things. There was a lot of things happening. And so my first year, I came and got into blazing. And I went perform over the year. My first year.

Mm-hmm. And it was like, it was like, you know, the girl that wins best actress her first year. And then you don't see her.

It's not that you didn't see me after that.

Right. It was just like, oh, he already won. And then like, they just kept her in more wake eyes. Right. And I got, and I started speaking up.

And they didn't like that. Mm-hmm. And I became the loud, aggressive person of color. Mm-hmm. Sure.

And for a while, I was okay with that. Where was your sobribe during this whole journey?

“Well, why was I already nine years clean and sober of everything?”

Okay. When you started when I started. So I made this decision as, like, I literally called my sponsor. And I was like, hey, so, and he's like, I'm surprised you haven't already done this. And I was like, excuse me.

Mm-hmm. And he literally is a straight man at the time. Yeah. I have a gay sponsor now, but he was just a straight man. And he's like, all the guys think you're sexy.

And straight people in recovery are so okay with their, like, saying, stuff like that about their dudes. And I was like, who? [laughter] What?

Did you? This is really interesting to hear. Did you have a hard time accepting that as truth? That somebody else could look at you and say, yes. Mm-hmm.

Because today, Michael and I were talking. And I gave him a compliment. And he got squirmy. I gave him a compliment. Uh, uh, thing that we met.

And he gets squirmy around compliments. Right. Well, I mean, I think a lot of people do. Yeah. Yeah.

“So, did you, or were you like, what is he talking about?”

Exactly how. Well, the reason I had a problem with the word sex, you just like, I equated it to being feminine. So that was my interesting issue with the word sex. Yeah.

Okay. But at that point, I, I, I was seeking out, like, the queerness that I didn't know. Yeah. I wanted the femininity.

Mm-hmm. And it's like this for me. Okay. People see me, and I guess I'm masculine presenting. But I'm very okay in my skin of who I am.

Mm-hmm. I didn't. If you were to see me as a kid, I was like, I was, I don't know if I could see that one. I don't think so. Yeah.

I was, I was, I was such a f***. And I was, wasn't so much that I was, I cared because I wanted my family to love me. And I wanted my friends to love me. But I actually, looking back, I don't think I cared because I was so feminine. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And I grew up with a single mother who was, when she was sober, because she actually passed away of alcoholism when I was 14. Oh, that's rough. And, um, but she, she was this like, when she was sober, she was glamorous. Mm-hmm.

I remember she's to wear this, um, a two-top black, shimmery jumpsuit. I love it. And I was like, that's my mom. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it is.

But also, she wasn't my mom. Like, yeah. She wasn't present ever. Right. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

Can I ask you after your mom passed away? Um, who did you grow up with? Um, my mom had a brother who, um,

“was probably the only family I remember that loved my mother, like, she was the youngest sister.”

Mm-hmm. But they all thought that, um, it all she needed to do was go to, she was, they were Catholic. All she needed to do was go to church. Mm-hmm. And then she would be okay.

She'd be okay. Right. Yeah. Um, but we would go to church. Mm-hmm.

And she would be drinking vodka out of her purse. Mm-hmm. So, I, I growing up saying that, I was like, you guys are crazy. Like, she goes to church and drinks. Like, that's not working, guys.

Mm-hmm. Um, so, how am I going to get my mom back? Yeah. Or how am I going to get my mom period? Mm-hmm.

So, it, it's, it's interesting. So, yeah, like, I was already sober. Yeah. And I had made this decision. And I have these, these people tell me you're sexy.

Mm-hmm. Um, but also, when I would go on dates before, I, and people would take off my pants and they'd be like, whoa, what's that? And I'd be like, what are you talking about?

I've never, I've never been the person that walks in Dick first.

You know, there's people in our, you know, gay world that you already know. They have a big dick because they've told everybody they have been before they walked inside of the room. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And I just was never like that.

Mm-hmm. So, now because of pouring people know. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But, um, before that, it just wasn't.

And even now, people are always like, you don't seem to be that kind of, like, I was going to ask you, like, what's it like dating? Like, I know you're partner now, but when, where you single when you're, like, what was it? I never, I never was the data. Mm-hmm.

I was always okay being by myself. Yeah. I think once I got sober and because I've had such, like, relapses not a part of my story. Yeah. And it, it is a part of a lot of people's story.

I don't know why. Mm-hmm. Yeah. When I stopped, it was like, if I go back out, I'm going to die. Yeah.

And survival to me has always been such, like, the foundation of who I am, constantly waking up, thinking, like, how am I going to make it through today?

Yeah.

It has always been a thing.

And even, as, I mean, I remember being five, having to cook my own breakfast because my mother was nowhere to be found. Mm-hmm. Um, my mother disappeared for, like, a month at a time. Mm-hmm. Like, people are like, oh, who's going to pay the rent?

And I'm like, I'm seven. Yeah. Like, what do you want me to do?

“But I think it's interesting because I oftentimes hear from people who then have incredible business success, right?”

Like, if I think of, like, the splashy, sexy side of your industry, if we extract that and just talk about, your success as a business person, it is really impressive, really. Yeah. Like, truly, like, you have your own company now, you retired from the industry on a high note, which, And I started that because I still was good.

That's why I never said, like, I'm not, I'm retiring for born because I knew that I still was going to double. Yeah. And even in my acceptance speech for the Hall of Fame Award, I was like, you haven't seen the last of me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And it's been less than a year, it's almost going to be your actually in May. And it's, you know, it's a new company. Yeah. But it's technically just, like, my personal only fan.

Mm-hmm. So that I don't have to go through only fans. Right. So, and it's, it's building. It's building.

And people love it. People who subscribe don't have issues. And it's not just, guys, it's my, I, I didn't want to call it boomeranks.com because I wanted to use that. For my music. Okay.

Because DJing has been taking a front seat of everything. Mm-hmm. And I know we're talking about porn.

And it's always going to be interesting to talk about.

And I, I, I, I don't mind talking about it. But music is definitely the love of my life right now. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And along with my dog and my partner.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And along with my dog and my partner. Mm-hmm.

But music is, is so important to me. And I didn't realize how important it was. And it took losing the friend to addiction to realize how important music was. And how it was very, um, it's suathed any sort of, it helped the, the pressure.

Yeah. Yeah.

“When did you decide that music was going to take the front seat?”

At what point? Because you tell us where you-- Three years ago when my best friend accidentally overdosed. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

It was a fentanyl overdose. And, um, we used to share music every Friday. Okay. And, uh, of very legendary DJ named Nida Abyans who lives in New York. They have a DJ collective called, uh, the Caronation.

And they're huge and, uh, seen here in New York. Yeah. And, um, I've been really close with them.

The first time I go against, they were DJing.

Mm-hmm. I was just talking to them. They're like, "You love music." Like, "Why don't you come to this studio?" Mm-hmm.

You sit behind me. You stand behind me at the booth all the time. If you haven't learned something by now, like, "What were you doing?" Yeah, right. And, um, and I, and I have.

And it's ever growing. Like, I, I, I, you can't, uh, fake tape. Like, you can learn all the knobs and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And the technical part of everything. But you can't fake taste. It comes to music, especially the Queers here in New York City. Oh, yeah. Or just people in general with music.

Mm-hmm. Like, if you're not creating a vibe, they don't care. They're like, "Yeah." They're like, "Yeah." And the music is huge.

There's so many. Everyone, every queen in Bushwick is trying to do their own DJ party. Yeah. The first Monday. Right, right, right.

Full moon. There's, we went to, I went to one this weekend. Where's you going? Uh, I went to, uh, come on everybody. Okay.

There was happening there. The very party. Very party. Okay. And I was like, "I don't like this."

And we went next door. We went five minutes down the road to a different one to a different one. What could you like a vibe? Well, the vibe was just-- Pot some pants.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. And the circuit music.

And I don't want this. Yeah. It's a competitive market in New York. Yeah. It is.

Very competitive because there are really good DJs. Uh-huh. But you've broken through. I mean, I've seen some of your shows. And I've seen--

But I still have a lot to learn. And I knew that it was going to be a heart cell because I also-- People-- They love to love me when they're talking about porn and whatever. Yeah.

But it's like that whole thing. Like, you're not going to introduce your mom to a porn cell. Mm-hm. Like, some people have and they moms love me. Mm-hm.

Um, moms love me.

“But you're also not doing porn when you meet the mom, right?”

Right. Right. And a lot of the moms, like, they're-- they're so intrigued that like, there's this multi-dimensional human. And they're like, oh, wow.

They take out his clothes. Mm-hm. Um, but he also can hold the conversation. Sure. Sure.

And he's brown. Yeah. Yeah. All those things can exist at the same time.

I'm trying to think of like the parallels between like the music industry

and the point of industry are very real. Like, right? We're talking about like creator-based content creation. Right. And also, there's so much in there.

The ones that have like the porn people that I've tried to do music have failed. And so when I started, they're like, oh, a porn-- Mm-hm. Another--

Oh, okay. Yeah. A porn logic. Yeah. And I was like, oh, yeah.

I'm going to get that. Yeah. But my mentor need audiences. Like, your name is going to get you in the door. Sure.

Your music is going to keep you there. Right. And it's everything else, right? This is mind, right? Like, this is an industry that you're a part of.

Yeah. The music industry. Yeah. So being able to apply that sort of business mind that entrepreneur spirit, I think that's really interesting.

“And that's like such a cool story to sort of follow, right?”

Yeah. Because you talk-- And so when you said bring props, I did. And I forgot to-- I left it in the backpack. But so what I keep forgetting is that I have done these pretty major things.

Mm-hm. So I'm sure you guys are familiar. I'm sure some of the guys here familiar with flashlight. Mm-hm. It's a toy that you insert yourself into.

Sure. And it's-- I Google it. Yeah. It's mainly women.

And there's a lot of beautiful women. I've met a lot of them.

A lot of them are amazing.

And I'm really good friends with a lot of them. And then they created a men's side. And it's called "Flesh Jack." Mm-hm. And it's apparently was a very prestigious thing to have a toy collection with them.

Mm-hm. Mike was like, "I'm Mr. Potatohead." Mm-hm. [LAUGHTER] I have--

How'd Mike make it? Yeah. I have my penis and I also have my lips. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Oh, that's really-- Wait, shot. Yeah. Yeah. That's the triple threat.

Yeah. Right here, right there. It goes to Broadway right now.

“So when people tell me to go fuck myself, I can't.”

Mm-hm. Yeah, you can't. I literally can't. You can really follow through with that. People tell me to go fuck myself all the time.

I mean-- [LAUGHTER] Sure, Nathan. No. Not part of my career hasn't taken off yet.

Yeah. [LAUGHTER] I mean, there's still time. And I told you if anything you wanted. I told you to bring anything you want to promote.

But I make money off of that. And I've been so-- This season on depression-- It was three-year anniversary. This is birthday recently.

Oh, God. At the beginning of February, a lot of happens. I'm about to move in with my partner, like, so much. Mm-hm. And it doesn't make me feel sexy.

Mm-hm. And a lot of people don't talk about that. Right. These content creators don't come on podcast and talk about how sometimes they don't feel sexy. Yeah.

What are you doing? You don't feel sexy. Yeah. You mean, I literally have not hosted anything on my Twitter. Yeah.

Mm-hm. Because you're just not feeling like that. And every single-- Every week, I'm like, it's Monday. I'm going to be sexy this week.

And then Monday hits and you're like-- I have to wake up at 8. I have to go here. I have a podcast to do today. It's the same for people.

I'm going to say it's true. You know, I think-- I'll say this as a woman who's-- You know, a woman of a certain age. There is something about that.

And I've been talking about this a lot. Like, I've been looking at my face and recognizing that I'm getting older.

“And not feeling the way that I think I should feel.”

Do you know what I'm saying? I can, though. Thank you. I know what you're saying. Do you know what I mean?

People tell me yesterday they're like, "Your skin is skinning." And I was like, "Fear." So what? It's really good. So like, it's not--

It's-- For me, it's honestly-- It's the aging. Do you know what I'm saying? And yesterday, I--

It's not to keep brain at all. But yesterday, I went to a wake of a friend who just passed away and he was only in his early 50s. Wow. And you start seeing your mortality.

Yes. I'm only, like, less than 10 years away from this. Mm-hmm. Like, can I die? Obviously, yeah.

Sure. But I have so much more. Mm-hmm. And my life didn't start till I moved to New York City. I was so in love with the city.

Okay.

Like, I have never been more happy in my life.

Mm-hmm. I was born in Mexico. Mm-hmm. And I was brought here when I was a year old. And right off the bat, and you know more than anybody--

Yeah. In Southern California, the races are all divided. Yes. And they all are prejudice against each other. Mm-hmm.

The Mexicans hate the Asians hate the people. You know, black people, black people hate Mexicans like growing up. Mm-hmm. It was just as vicious circle. Mm-hmm.

And it's society that puts this against each other. Yes. A hundred percent. Because we'd be each other down. So white people can ascend.

I mean, that's how colonialism works. Yeah.

That's how dividing conquer. Right. And so it oftentimes-- But I wanted, like, I literally would like-- I wanted to be everything else other than who I was.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

“I think that had a lot to do with, also, me being addict.”

Mm-hmm. But like, I would-- I think one year I was half black. One year I was all Puerto Rican.

I was never just Mexican.

Because everybody hated Mexicans instead of California. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that self-loathing runs deep sometimes. Self-loathing is a killer.

Self-loathing. And it took me into my-- like, doing important being in therapy. Right. To realize-- because I remember having a conversation with my therapist about what I thought the standard of beauty was.

Mm-hmm. And I'm describing somebody that looks like him. Sure. What the fuck? Yeah.

But that's it. But you know what the world is literally-- I've half a million followers. Yeah. Because of the way that I looked.

Yeah. Yes. But that is the standard of beauty was not created for us. Right. The standard of beauty, I mean, you know, that I was a little girl growing up.

And the standard of beauty was farer faucet. And I can do whatever I want.

But I will never look like her.

Do you know what I'm saying? So like, you grow up. I've been watching how to get away with murders. Yeah. And they're constantly blowing out their hair.

Oh, don't get me started. The hair-- the hair-- the-- And then they just saw the episode where it was scandal. And it was Olivia Pope and-- Mm-hmm.

Okay. --if I didn't do it. And they both had their hair just blown out. Yeah. And I was like, you guys have beautiful natural hair.

It is. But that is-- and especially if you're thinking about, you know, Olivia Pope and whoever Biola Davis played, that they were women in business. Right. They were lawyers in front of people.

Yes. And so in order to make yourself more-- a human saying is palatable. Right?

“You have to do everything that you can do to assimilate as much as possible.”

And when you do, then you're called the things. And it's just like-- And the other thing about it is it's like I said, I can do whatever I want to assimilate at the end of the day. Yeah.

This is a black woman. Well, and people would be like, because these companies would put me to work with other white men and they're like, oh, he only works with white men. And I'm like, no, I'm the person of color. Right.

I am in the scene as well. Yeah, yeah. Like are we forgetting that I am in the scene? I wonder, like, when you were still performing, do you-- I still do, but not for the company's behavior.

Okay. But do you feel like you were like something to check off, right? We need, like-- I made sure. Okay.

That was the one thing that I was like, I am not going to be your gardener. You're not going to be this or that. I'm going to be on the cover of those DVDs at the time. You don't know what the DVD is about. And I was.

Mm-hmm. I was on many covers. Mm-hmm. They made movies surrounding me that weren't like-- Just like where I am.

Yeah. I mean-- Like the gang member. Right. Yeah.

It was always me. Like even when they did a movie called "Forskin Mafia" for me. Mm-hmm. And I wore, like, um, uh-- I'm just like--

Break Owens and like-- I was able to dress up like the way I wanted to dress up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I heard "Forskin Mafia" and I just think the sopranos.

Yeah. Yeah. And I like-- Yeah. There you go.

It's so bad to me. James can't feel me. James can't feel me. I am the James Gandolfini of porn. You just give us our episode title.

I was listening to Jennifer Lawrence, do the podcast with Amy Poler. Yes. Yeah. And I turned to my partner. I was like, I think I'm the Jennifer Lawrence of porn because like I'm so open. And you just say everything. Everything or like people ask about whatever and I'm like, yeah, that's what happening. And she's very.

And she's very that. She's like, oh, and then people are always surprised that she's just like her self. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, and she'll, and she does go down the street to go get coffee for herself. I mean, I'm not as big as Jennifer Lawrence, but like, you know, I do things for people. I was like, oh, I can't believe you're here. Like, yeah.

“Where am I supposed to be? What are the fan interactions? Can you tell us about fan interactions that stand out?”

I mean, just that the funniest ones are like the dad's. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's the, that's the funniest to me. But I mean, yeah. And now people feel like, oh, I love your work. And I'm like, oh, you listen to my music. And then they're like, oh, you didn't music. Yeah, I'm like, where can people listen to me? It's like, I want you to pull out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the music is always going to be when we're going to say, I worked really hard for that name.

the relevancy is still a thing. And I want to feel sexy. Sure. I'm sure you feel that way. You know, and but you look like, like, close to me is so much fun. And I have so much clothes that I need to start wearing my beautiful stuff that I have. And I'm so great from moving in with a person who is like a lot more organized than me. Yeah. So that's going to be very helpful. I have so many beautiful clothes and shoes that I've bought. And like, it's very helpful. But of course, my kind of sexy and being online is a little more provocative.

And I just, I, you know, if anybody after being helpful, because these guys, these other content, you try to talk to them about stuff like that. They don't want to talk about feelings. They don't want to talk about, you know, Well, it doesn't mean they can't. Well, I imagine we're in the, the K club and Boomer and I are just having a sit down heart to heart about our feelings.

Like me, all the people always do that people come up to be like me, while everyone around is like, yeah, everyone, what you were having a conversation about something.

Yeah, and literally when we're leaving, my partner is like, hey, it's this guy's birthday and he wants to meet you for his birthday. So it was happening when I make always happen. Yeah, it was happening when I met you and people are always real surprised and I'm okay, say hi, because they see the tattoos and they're like, yeah, you know, yeah, how do you,

“And if it's okay, if you don't have a way to feel sexier get out of your funk because I think I was talking about it.”

Yeah, I, I've been talking about it because when I talk about it, it gives, it gives the power takes the power away from whatever it is that I think I'm falling over. Yeah, but I get, I used to get the word, and I don't like when people tell me that I'm intimidating. I find that very, very much a dog whistle for a personal color. Yeah, maybe you're intimidated, which is different. And that's not your problem. It's not my problem. But people say that a lot, and it's like, but then when they get to know me, they're like, oh, you're actually nice.

Well, actually, yeah, I mean, now I don't know if I want to be nice. I got sometimes people think that I'm going to like bitch them out or that I'm like a mean lawyer or that I'm like going to, or that I'm like too busy to chat with them or whatever met a mean lawyer. Oh, I'm on TV. Oh, I've definitely met some lawyers. I've worked for some mean lawyers. Yeah, they're so angry. They're angry. They're bitter. They're tired. What kind of lawyers are they? For me was litigation. Okay. Anyway, thank you. We're coming to our screen, Gerald.

You can go, thank you. They can go to, so SoundCloud is boomer bangs. SoundCloud is boomer bangs.

Instagram is always going to be bacon, whether it's bacon, LVR, which I started literally when Instagram started.

I was like, what's my name going to be? And I was like, oh, bacon, liver, but for me, it was like bringing home the bacon. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, that was so hard to explain. So people was like, you like bacon. I was like, sure. Showing up to your shows, hand in your back. I have to throw a so much stuff that people like, and I don't want to throw it away. I have this cute little piggy bank that someone gave me. It's his boomer on the side. And I just look at it and I was like, I don't want to throw that away.

People would always bring me bacon stuff. It's a bacon to look all the time. Or actual bacon. Some of them probably can be bacon once.

“And is pile of cash lover. If you want to bring me anything to drink, it's just my Venmo.”

It's just my Venmo app.

But yeah, and I still call it Twitter. Do you guys call it X?

Well, someone had boomer bangs.com forever. And I guess they let it go. My business partner was like, boomer bangs is available. And I was like, oh, buy it for me. Yeah, buy it for me. I want to use it for my music.

“And that's what we named the website for skin off yet.”

It's funny. It's cheeky. It's not just people with four skin. That word is so polar as you know. And we're skin off yet. Four skin is it? I don't know. I don't think so.

No. It's a body part, right? It is a body part. Yeah, my house growing a lot.

That's right. My house grew up calling everything by the proper term. That was like the really. Oh, really? Oh, the China.

Yep, it was vagina penis. Like there was no one in this. But now penis is like a really like the gooners. They love using that word. Do you just laugh?

Yeah. Someone's a goodener. That's a good and community. Yeah. Wow.

They use it with penis. They use a lot of a proper anatomical. The gooners are appropriate. They do know what a gooner is. I do not.

Really quick. You know, laid on me. It is not new.

It's always been a thing.

But now it's bigger. And these.

“I think it's his way of doing content without having to interact with someone else”

and they can make money. Okay. And they'll just go on there. And it's just face that they make and they start drooling. It's like people who are like over masturbating masturbating.

So masturbating they get close to masturbating. And you get that like face. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you stop. And then you stop.

And you've done this like highly dramatized. But then they talk. They're very verbal. So they talk about their penis. Okay.

And they like over and unscathed. That seems like such an interesting way. And I don't want to go there because then I'll sound like I'm gooning. And I'm brief recess. And it's like a brief recess to goon.

And I'm going to Google Glunner. You're going to go on this way. Yeah, a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole. Yeah, I'm okay with it.

Yeah, flesh jack. Yeah, flesh jack. That's how I go. Your hole anatomy. My hole anatomy is available.

It's such a weird way to use the word hole. I'm sorry. What I meant. That's all I meant. Yes, it is.

I do want to ask you really quick. What's it like? How do you make them? I'm curious how. So I was literally in the group of last people that used molding actual molding.

Now they do a bit of three teeth. And mine is your winner. So it's not a 3D printer. They literally like use them. You know that green stuff.

They put in your mouth to, to mold your teeth. Yes. They use that. So they put it in a middle thing. And you put insert your penis in there.

Like plaster. Holy hard. Yeah. Wow. And then mine is literally identical.

Like there's a side by side. And but like the new guys. It looks bigger because it was like um. They do the little dots. The little um.

It's going to be my DMs, not boomers. Thank you. So we'll get in trouble. We're going to jump right into tells from the DMs. I thought it would be fun to answer some of your questions.

We actually have some reviews that CJ Paul together. Melissa, do you want to read some of the reviews? I do. Let's see. Oh, okay.

This is funny. The Jenny Jones story when we did the gay panic defense. The way I felt my age realizing you had to describe 90s talk shows to people to set up a Jenny Jones story. It really was a time.

I was there. It was a time capsule. I lived it. I lived it. No, you didn't really live it.

I lived it. I was staying home sick from school to watch. Yeah. And and Plinko. No.

I was right. Older. Older. Yeah. Let's see.

Oh, this is actually really funny. The art theft episode. What a treat to listen to this show after a steady nightmarish diet of horrific news. I feel almost clean now.

Thanks. The good clean feeling. That's quicky clean feeling. I was spring feeling. That is the worst fucking soap.

It drew me. When I first started.

When I first started dating Andre the first night.

I spent the night in his place. And I got into that shower. And I saw I was spring. I was like, I have to help this man. Oh, speaking of help.

Yeah. From the ice abuse episode with Congressman Robert Garcia. We have a common from Spinella 6093.

I have a runway show with Melissa's wardrobe and auction it all off. I wish I could help you. I have the same problem. I love thrifting. Yep.

Hate throwing away useful things that have a lifelift.

“Feel like the quantity of stuff I have in my life is a direct conflict with my face about.”

Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. On the other hand is a real bitch. I could help you clean up. That's dark. Oh. I am.

I have to tell you that I think that I am afraid to like open my closet. Yeah. Um, but what I really would like. You might fall on you and you might suffocate to death. So we ran to pay my mother.

My mother will say, if I don't call her. She'll say, you didn't call me. I'm like, I know mom. She's like, you didn't call me.

You never know the refrigerator could have fell on me.

And I'm like, to suck up. No. And also where my parents of a refrigerator is in the kitchen. There's no way. There's no way.

It's going to hit the cabin. You're going to hit the cabin. She's like, you don't know. I love your mother. Okay.

We've got a quick question. Someone sent in a question. Please send us your questions. Call in and leave us a message through my link tree. Or write into brief recesses at exactly rightmedia.com.

Okay. And don't forget, friends. What do I always say? Well, Michael is a lawyer. He's not your lawyer.

Get your own. I'm that girl. Everyone's gone.

“So what this person says, do you want to read the question?”

Federal jury duty tips. I have been summoned for Federal jury duty in redacted state. Any tips that the general internet probably doesn't have.

It's my first time for any jury duty at all.

And being a federal case, it's making me nervous. Okay. So this is a little confusing because of your jury summons was for a federal case. That's like, that's happened to me. That's happened to you.

Yeah. That's not really, really long time ago, but yeah. And they were, oh, interesting. Okay. Federal court.

All right. I guess what I want to know before I give you a tip is like, do you want to know how to get out of it or how to like survive it? Like, what is what is your, why don't we do both? Okay.

How to get out of it? I would listen to what kind of case it is with what attorneys are looking for in Vodier. And that's Vodier is the selection process for a jury. Is someone who is going to have like extreme bias against one of the parties or has, and

that bias can be from you worked for that company or you worked in an industry that is going to give you too much insight. So when you're in that jury room, you are sharing things that the lawyers don't want you sharing. Right.

What if whatever, let's say there was a crime and you had been a victim of that same crime? Oh, bias for sure. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah.

So that's also a way the people kind of get out of it.

“If you want to know like how to survive federal jury, it is, it's possible it's going to be”

intense and long. It could be really long. Because oftentimes if they're getting to a place where you're getting a federal jury summons, you are the cases definitely going to trial. It's not like we're going to play this out.

Like the lawyers have tried everything. This is a serious enough case where it's gotten federal court. The lawyers and the parties are probably looking for some sort of precedent here. So that's why you're getting that summons. So it's going to be a buckle up because it will be like a trap and a long process.

But probably a fascinating experience. And remember, some people get a book deal as a juror.

So if it was a fierce case that makes headlines, you can always sell that shit.

You could afterwards though, don't say anything. No, you're not allowed to say anything. Yes, that's really important. You're not allowed to say anything to anybody during the trial. Don't talk to words.

Don't call it until laughter and tell us all about it afterwards. All right, that was tells from the DMs. Thank you for joining us this week. Thanks for being here. Thank you for being here.
