00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:03.120
All right, serious outcast.
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.560
We have a returned guest, the beautiful, the seductive, the intelligent, the legend, Ava Divine.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.359
What's up, Ava?
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:14.000

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:15.519
What an intro.
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:17.120
I try my best.
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.879
You're charming.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.879
How's everything going?
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.160
Very well.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:23.039
Good, good.
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.079

You're very welcome.
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.600
The last time you were on, I think was three years ago.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.039
I know you said that.
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:31.920
You mentioned that sweet.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:33.200
About three years ago.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.399
And when you you were on, you were retired.
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.799
You were like, um, I'm not doing any more content.
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.479
We're done, so on and so forth.
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:41.520
Blah blah.
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:46.880
And since then, you've come out of retirement like a bat out of hell, by the way.
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:47.359
Yes.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:49.840
Oh, God, yeah.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:51.280
Yes.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:58.799
So my uh and what I'm gonna do is our first interview, I'm gonna put in the description so people could go and just click.
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.920
We did your whole backstory back then, so I don't want to do that again.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.400
If people want to know your whole backstory, we can go back, uh, they can go back and watch the uh the original interview.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.200
But what I want to know is what made you come out of retirement.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:26.640
Okay, well, you know, I I met uh an adult film actress and uh I I was working with like some other females, and I was just I was like, God, I think I'm missing out.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:40.079
Like, like they were telling me stories about BBCs and all, and I was like, I'm like salivating, and I'm like and they're like, they're like then then like all these new trams are coming out, and I'm like, who's this?
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.239
Who's and all these and then these guys are hitting me up on X Twitter at the time.
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:44.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.120
And I'm like, I'm like, hmm.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.439
I'm like, wait a second.
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.519
I was like, I'm kind of bored.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:02:00.879
I'm like, I think I should uh just you know try treading lightly, not going crazy.
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.439
Yeah, that was out the window.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.280

--> 00:02:07.920
I'm like, just going, going, going.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:15.680
Well, I had I would have to believe that once because you've been in the industry forever and everybody knows who you are, you're a huge name in the industry.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:26.240
And I have to believe that as soon, and correct me if I'm wrong, as soon as you decide to put out a little bit more content, people had to be hitting you up for more and more content, right?
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.000
Like, I mean, like major uh uh production studios and whatnot.
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.280
Well, somewhat.
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.319
Um, really, my goal wasn't to like shoot for a lot of production companies.
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.039
My goal was because now only family oh, sorry.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.400
No, you're allowed to say it.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.520
You're allowed to I try and watch my P's and Q's, you know.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.319
That's all right.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.520
Editing sucks, but um so yeah.
00:02:47.759 --> 00:03:03.680
So since OF, you know, has taken um such such a uh you know, a is such a big ordeal in my life, I figured like, okay, let me start having some really interesting content and collabs.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:13.039
And um, you know, honestly, I felt like that that time that I took off was necessary and needed, much needed at the moment.
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:20.080
But I really felt like my creativity and my um sexual expression was very dimmed.
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.800
And and it served its purpose.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:31.199
But the minute I I came back out of retirement, I mean, my creative juices, literally, juices started flowing everywhere.
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.879
And I'm like, oh my God, and and like these ideas and and and like and I'm so mad at that.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.319
I'm like, oh my God, I uh like with everybody, you know.
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.199
So so it was a really, really fun ride and and it still is.
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.240
And um it just so so my my decision was not so much for the production companies, which which I I don't mind.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.039
I'm not against.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:04:05.439
I did join a uh uh modeling agency that you know, a production agency or whatever it's called, but um, but I uh I'm a lot more selective today.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.039
And um my my collabs are just something that like means something to me.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:19.600
Like, like it a lot, it's like my uh sexual expression and creativity like coming into fruition with other performers.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.199
And the wonderful thing is is this is what I was gonna get to, John.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.639
Um, is that everyone was so welcoming and loving towards me.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.000
Like that's good.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.000
Yeah, because you know, like you gotta remember, I'm older, much older.
00:04:34.160
--> 00:04:37.439
Um, you know, I'm I'm not afraid of my age, but I'm like 52 now.
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:46.959
So it was like yeah, so for like people, uh, the younger crowd, you know, and look, don't get me wrong, not everyone wants to shoot with me.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.720
I understand, I don't take it personally, but or or production companies, not everyone wants to shoot with me.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.959
But from the people that did want to shoot with me, was just I was just blown away.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.600
I couldn't believe how sought after and well received I was because it's like, you know, I'm I was out of the game for 10, 11 years.
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.800
I thought I was irrelevant.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.240
And people are like, oh my God, I want to like young people and and and like just everyone.
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.519
I'm like, wow.
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:16.000
Yeah.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.040
So yeah.
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.000
Why do you think there are certain people that didn't want to shoot you?
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:20.800
I don't understand that.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.639
Because there's a niche for everything now.
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:30.639
Well, for sure, but but also like, you know, this is a career, this is a a job, this is a lot, you know, it it generates income, right?
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.879
That that's why that's why we we perform, right?
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.000
Because it generates income.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:34.399
Sure.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:34.720
Right?
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.519
Mainly.
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:49.680
Um, but so so if I'm not gonna, if I'm not gonna make that person money, if if their consumers, their their their fans aren't gonna they're like, you know, like so like it like I may not be for them.
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:50.959
So it makes sense.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:52.160
It makes total exactly.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.319
And and like I said, this isn't a dating site.
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:56.959
Adult films isn't like for dating.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:02.720
It's like we we we we make money from it, we perform, we entertain, we bring in an income.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:07.120
If it's not gonna make money, there's a great saying, if it doesn't make dollars, it don't make sense.
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:38.399
And no, you're a hundred percent right because even in in my world, somebody contacted me that wrote a book uh recently, and because on this channel I cover a lot of um uh mafia, uh biker, adult entertainers, um, and somebody uh wrote a book about his cousin that was involved in organized crime, and we had a call, and I was like, dude, it it wouldn't make sense to me to have you on because you you know nobody knows who you are, nobody knows who your cousin is.
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.000
It's it's not gonna generate views.
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.680
If you if you wrote a book about John's body, yes, then it would have created views, you know.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.959
So I completely understand.
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.519
Now that you put you posed it that way, that makes total sense.
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.240
Okay, sure.
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.120
And and and I had to understand that, like, um, you know, through, like I told you, as you guys know, I'm in a 12-step program.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.439
So, like, I had a lot of resentments for a lot of uh companies that didn't want to shoot me.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.879
I had a lot of resentments towards fans that didn't want to see me, like uh, or negative comments.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.439
But I have to also understand this is a business, it's not personal.
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.240
And even if it is personal, what do I care?
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:16.399
You know, like I can go, I can go elsewhere.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:26.959
But the bottom line is if it's not gonna generate income for that company, that fan, that person, whatever, then there's no sense of shooting with me.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.399
So, so like I now I understand it's not a personal attack, it's a business attack.
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.680
Yeah, or not not word attack, but it's a business move.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.120
So yeah.
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:42.480
Now, when you said you were on a 12-step program, you've been clean and sober for many years now at this point, right?
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.839
How many years has it been?
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.079
Oof, it's gonna be a while.
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.920
19 years on July 29th, yeah, 2007.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:50.240
Yeah.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:59.680
Were were there anybody that would didn't collab with you because of some problems you had in the past and they didn't want to revisit that?
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:09.040
Um, no, but I think that there's some uh people I'm assuming I'm I'm I I can't uh they never actually said it.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.199
Yeah, I'm assuming that did not that does not want to shoot with me because of my my present sobriety today.
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.160
Uh some people like to party or get whatever.
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:19.279
I understand.
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:28.319
And and like and and I I or they may feel uncomfortable because I do not partake in that or I don't want to be around that.
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.519
Like, like uh yeah, so so I do I do it now.
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:38.799
It's like I I don't I don't mess with that, like right, you know, like I I just can't be work with people that are intoxicated.
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:45.759
It's just yeah, if if you're yeah, you do what you want, but I can't do that because it's it's it's too painful for me because of my past.
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.639
Fully unit.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.039
Exactly.
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:58.080
And I'm not a judge or the juror or or reformer, but for me, I I choose not, I'm not
desperate to be in those situations where I have to be around that.
00:08:58.320 --> 00:08:59.679
I don't have to be around that.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.440
I choose not to be around that.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:06.639
It's healthier for me, and it's just safer for me if I don't, and that's just my choice.
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:07.919
That's my boundary.
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:13.919
No, and and that is an absolute 100% boundary that shouldn't be crossed.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.720
Yeah, because you've been doing so good, uh, and your career has taken off.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.440
There's no reason to even give it a chance for that to come back, right?
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.039
There's no way even to even gamble it.
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:26.159
So I fully understand.
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:34.320
And and and and at the same time, I understand that person who wants to be around a sober, boring wet blanket when they want to party it up.
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.080
Like I get it.
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.320
I used to, I when I was using and partying, I don't want to be around sober people.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.000
Yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.039
Yeah, right, right.
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.039
Now, have you noticed that it's the younger crowd that's more like this, or it doesn't really matter?
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.679
Um, it doesn't really matter, but but mainly younger.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.679
But you put them in uh I mean it like the disease doesn't discriminate.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.759
Drug addiction, alcoholism doesn't discriminate.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:03.120
So I see it young, older, whatever, but I just don't want to partake in it.
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:13.440
Has anybody have has has have anybody in the industry, especially young women or women in general, have come to you uh for mentoring in a situation like that?
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.759
And have you had to tell them, hey, look, look, I know what you're going through, but if you continue this route, you it's not gonna end well.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.600
Have you had that had that experience?
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:22.799
Um, yes.
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:33.840
Uh what I've learned is I can't control anybody, and I and I can't give out my advice because my advice gets me jails, institutions, and death too.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.960
So, but I will give you my experience, strength, and hope.
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.039
I will show you what works for me, and you could either take it or not.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.759
And if you don't take it, I'm not gonna be mad at you.
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.120
I just probably can't really like hang out with you, right?
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.960
But but you know, that's your journey, that's their journey.
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.320
And and and who who am I?
00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:00.159
I'm not God, I'm not powerful enough to save you or or you know, or think, or think I know what's right for you because I don't.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.360
I don't even know what's right for me.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.360
Like, how many I don't even know how to live my life.
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:04.720
How am I gonna tell you how to live yours?
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.720
Yeah, I got enough problems to worry about.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.279
Exactly.
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:15.759
So it's like it's like, so you know, I I can't say I I could just say for me, you know, drugs and alcohol took me down.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.759
Yeah, yeah, you know, so but but maybe maybe it'll work for you.
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:29.759
Maybe you can win academy awards and have billions of dollars with champagne in your hand and and cocaine in the other hand, and and cheering everyone cheering you on.
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.480
It didn't work for me, it won't work for me.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.639
It has not never worked for me.
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.960
Uh the fellowship is made of people that it didn't work for, so I don't know.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.480
Maybe it maybe it'll work for you.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.120
I don't know.
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.720
Well, um I, for one, am very happy that you're clean and sober and doing well.
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:52.080
Because I've been I've been honestly before I started the podcast, you were one of my favorites from a long time ago.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.559
So I'm very happy that uh you're doing well.
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:55.600
Thank you.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:05.679
When you started doing content, because I think I don't remember the sites that you were on, but you were you were back on the main sites, the the the Naughty America and the Brazors and whatnot.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.559
They're great, yeah.
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.799
Not browsers, yeah, but no, okay, right.
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.279
Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but you were on the bigger ones.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.840
Has that helped your OnlyFans?
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.600
Has that created interest for people to look for you up on OnlyFans?
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:18.320
You know what?
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:29.919
I'm I'm not really certain because there's no uh gauge or links that like I've posted from there to there to like to like uh decipher where it's coming from.
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:45.519
I just know that now that I'm shooting with more uh people and doing different things creatively and sexually, my fans are very much more happier and they're I'm uh gaining more fans.
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.080
And but I will tell you this too.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:59.279
The the the crazy thing is that now that I have my podcast, um people are like they're like, I've never I don't know who you are, and I just discovered you on the podcast.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:05.039
And like there, there's a gay man that said, Ava, I don't know who
you are.
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.320
I just discovered you from the podcast, and I love you.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.559
And I'm like, I'm like, I love you.
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.639
And then and then somebody else was like, I don't even know who you are, but I love your vibe.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.000
I'm like, What's the podcast?
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.279
What's the name of the podcast?
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.840
Um, it's called Ava Divine's Bad Advice.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.240
Ava Divine's Bad Advice.
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.720
Uh I'll make sure that that and it's on YouTube?
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:25.519
Yeah.
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:31.519
Okay, I'll make sure that that is in the description code so people can see Ava Divine's Bad Advice.
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.240
You know what's funny is that on my bodybuilding channel, I'm very good friends with Lee Priest.
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.399
I don't know if you know who that is, but Lee Priest was one of the greatest bodybuilders that ever lived.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.639
Okay, in the bodybuilding world, he's a legend.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:57.200
And what's funny is that he has kind of reignited his career by doing a lot of uh bodybuilding content with younger fitness content creators, like the Trent twins and like Larry Wheels.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:01.200
And people go up to him and go, Oh, I saw you on that video with the Trent twins.
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.120
I saw you on that video with Larry Wheels.
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.759
And he's like, he's like, Yeah, I guess so.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:12.080
But like like in the early 2000s, the guy was winning bodybuilding show after bodybuilding show after bodybuilding show.
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.919
He was a he is a legend, and so it's the same thing.
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.600
It's like people come up to him and go, I don't know who you are, but I love you, you're great, you know?
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.879
It's the same kind of situation, but it all works out, right?
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:28.399
Like, like, because I don't know, I just I just feel like it always works out somehow.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:44.240
It does, and but somebody like yourself who has this wherewithal uh to keep going, to keep motivated, and to keep helping yourself, and then doing content where you're helping others, whether it's on your OF or whether it's on your podcast, it's gonna come back.
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:50.559
Good things are gonna come back, and it's the same thing that's happening to my friend is he's he has this amazing following now again.
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.919
Um because this is this is what uh this is what he does.
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:59.679
But yeah, and and and it's not so much me helping them, it's like we we all help like it's really team effort.
00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:05.120
Good point because don't forget, like my ideas are wack-a-doodle nuts, right?
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.919
And then but some of these people are like great idea, down.
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.720
I love it.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.679
And I'm like, really?
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:23.279
Yeah, and like like there's this one guy, um Adam Lee, and um like he's such a cute little actor, and I'm always like, Adam, play, would you do these weird reels with me and stuff like that?
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.720
And like he's like, sure.
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.759
And he like we love it, and like we just have so much fun.
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.799
So it's like it's like truly a team effort.
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.600
Like, there's no one better or less than or more famous or not.
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.039
It's like it's when it like like in a recipe, right?
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:49.519
Yeah, you gotta put salt, you gotta put sugar, you gotta put pepper, you gotta right, and and then right, there's not there's not one ingredient that's just so much better, or even if it is, right?
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.639
But it all comes out to being chef's kiss.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:53.840
Okay, good, good.
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.519
Yeah, like it's a it's like a unit, and you're you're working together as a unit.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:58.879
Totally, totally.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:10.639
So now, are there things that you won't do now as opposed to before you were retired, um, that you used to do, and now you're like, nah, I stay away from that now.
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.799
Um, probably not.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:24.960
Okay, but I do, I I am starting or I've been starting to require a seven-day uh talent testing test.
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.279
So that's my new requirement.
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:37.279
Like um I I ask for whoever I shoot with to get uh a seven-day uh test, and and it has to be uh no older than seven days.
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.200
And if it's eight days, I won't work with them.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.320
So explain what that is.
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.679
What's the seven-day test?
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:53.120
So uh so what we do is is the industry goes and gets tested at two facilities or three, but let's just say two for now that I'm very aware of clear and uh talent testing.
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.279
Um we have to do a full panel, swabs, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:05.680
Uh and uh in um the industry, the film industry's guidelines, it's a 14-day test.
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:06.720
Okay.
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.400
So now I a lot can happen in 14 days.
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:20.160
A lot can happen in seven days, a lot can happen in one day, but for my own well-being, I feel more confident, more safer.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.200
Um, I feel safer with uh seven-day tests.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:30.720
And and and it could be a little bit expensive for some, but honestly, for me, you can't put a uh price tag on health.
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:42.559
And I feel that that's a substantial amount of time because say if it's the weekend or whatever, and the and talent testing is closed, at least you can go on Monday and you know, whatever.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.480
So I I just like a seven-day test, and that's that's my new requirement when I work with.
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.000
What do they test for?
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:53.839
Uh they test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, uh, two types of HIV tests.
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:55.440
I think hep C.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:06.000
Um syphilis, they test for MGen, they test for uh rectal swabs of and throat swabs of gonorrhea, chlamydia.
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.960
Um they do urine samples of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.839
Uh so so I uh I think that's pretty much the basics.
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:16.960
But but yeah.
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.480
Have you ever had somebody come back and there was a no, no, go, sorry.
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.519
I know you went for the test, but you tested positive for A, B, and C.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.799
Oh, of course, sure, sure.
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:26.160
It happens, yeah.
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.920
Oh, that's gotta be difficult.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.359
How do they deal with it?
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.039
Because do they even know that they have these that they're positive for these diseases?
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.079
Well, sometimes we don't, but that's why the testing is very, is very important.
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:43.119
And I mean, look, it's uh everything's 50-50, right?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:48.319
There's always it's always uh a 50-50 chance of you know winning and losing.
00:18:48.480 --> 00:19:04.079
You drive the car, 50% you're gonna get to the uh uh destination safely, 50% can get hit, or a ticket, or what like there's always there's always room for some kind of complications if if you play that way, right?
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.599
You know, and that and that's that's the thing.
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.480
That's the world, that's that's the livelihood, that's the job that I'm in.
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.799
So it's like but uh I I want to be my own advocate, right?
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:21.200
And and try and try and do do to the best of my ability as be as safe safe as I can.
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:21.839
Sure.
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:30.960
Now, before you were retired, were there mandatory tests or was it not as uh not as strict as this this seven-day test is?
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.799
Well, well, actually, it's it was hilarious because uh Christian Chibletz and I talked about there was the 30-day test.
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:42.240
Uh we used to go to a place called AIM or talent testing, and it was 30-day test.
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.200
Then now they switched it to 14 days.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:50.079
But now, you know, and some companies do do seven-day tests as well.
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.119
Um some performers request that as well.
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.839
So so I I just feel it's just it's better guidelines for me.
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:03.279
Uh and I just feel I feel a little bit more confident with that.
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.680
Yeah, 30 days, a lot can happen in 30 days.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:14.960
But look, back in the day, that's what you know, and then like all these things start popping up, and we're like, wow, yeah, yeah.
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:37.200
What's funny is I I interviewed uh Ginger Lynn uh probably around the same time I interviewed you, and she told the story about how uh she had did a scene with John Holmes and not knowing that he was HIV positive, that he had full-blown AIDS, and then when she found out she was scared shitless, and she ran to the doctor to get tested.
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.599
Because back then they didn't even know what that was.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:45.119
You know, it was brand new, and it was it was so scary, but thank God she was fine.
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.400
But yeah.
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:56.480
So now tell me what have been the significant changes in the industry that you've noticed since you retired to to today?
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:13.680
Um, well, I mean, I I would say that uh one of the things is um content creators are different from adult film industry people, you know, um, or the corn stars, you know.
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:18.480
Uh and like like how do you define corn star versus content creator?
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:25.599
I feel uh people that shoot for production companies could be classified as corn stars.
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.640
I gotcha, okay.
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:35.920
And um people that so being being a corn star, and I'm just I'm so YouTube friendly now.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.359
No, it's fine, it's perfect.
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:37.680
Thank you.
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.319
Yeah, I it's just because editing costs.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.839
So yeah, sorry why it's my P's and Q's, I get it.
00:21:44.079 --> 00:22:09.119
Um, so uh I feel like uh corn stars uh have a professionalism about them that not all, uh but I'm just saying generally speaking, uh we have a we have a professionalism about ourselves that is different from uh A content creator that twerks and twerks at the you know uh pool party and makes millions, which uh which is great, good for you.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:14.880
But I'm just saying, like, like uh, you know, we're taught or I'm taught, I'm taught, I'll speak for myself.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:24.960
I'm taught to bring a variety of clothing, to show up in hair and makeup, to prep, prepare if you're gonna do backdoor or whatever.
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:26.079
Right, right, right.
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:37.039
Um, also, you know, be on time because there's locations involved, there's camera people involved, there's makeup artists involved, there's a lot at stake.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.200
And uh it's not just uh, you know, 5 p.m.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:50.400
I just got back, you know, just woke up from being at the club the night before, and now we're gonna jiggle our butts and go live on OnlyFans or OF, you know?
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.480
So it's like that is an excellent question.
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.480
I did not realize that.
00:22:54.720 --> 00:23:07.440
Because you're right, there is a big difference with somebody that is in your industry and and acts as a professional, and and the the first person that popped up in my head when you said that was Adam 22 and his wife.
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.480
Okay, right?
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.000
They just kind of went on a whim.
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.319
Did she just right?
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:21.039
Um, they just went on a whim, they picked some guy and sold the content, and because he's Adam 22, and this is his wife, they've made a fortune, right?
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:36.079
Is there animosity because it's like, wait a minute, you didn't put your time in, and then all of a sudden you're somebody's uh husband who has uh clout and you decide, oh, I'm just gonna do this scene and make a ton of money.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:41.359
Whereas somebody like you puts their time, effort, professionalism into it.
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.400
Is there any animosity between the two worlds?
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:46.480
I mean, I don't think so.
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:51.839
I think that that's a little heavy of a word, but I mean, there there's a difference.
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.680
And I can't speak for everyone.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:24:06.640
I'm just saying the people I've encountered that are content creators, they're not uh really fully responsible with the proper testing, or they complain about the seven-day test or whatever that you know, they they're not whatever.
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.200
They they don't want to spend the money to get another test.
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:10.319
I'm like, that's your business.
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:20.160
They don't want to get hair and makeup done, you know, whatever, and or they don't bring proper outfits at all, ever, or they want to be late and you know, or not show up and stuff.
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:24.960
But but then again, I've dealt with many corn stars that do the same thing too.
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:25.359
Right.
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:34.400
So I can't really all I can say is there is somewhat of a difference that I've seen, that I've experienced.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.720
So now at your level, right?
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:39.839
Uh, because you are at basically top tier, right?
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.319
Uh-huh.
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:49.279
Are there people that you trust working with because you know they're gonna get the seven-day test, they're gonna be on time, they're gonna be professional, they know what they're doing.
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.000
And you know what?
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:57.599
I'd rather work with them than some
new content creator that has no clue, even though it could bring plenty of views and plenty of money.
00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:59.200
Um, well, sometimes, yes.
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:04.640
I I rather, like I said, I'm I'm able to be a little bit more selective.
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:09.599
And and it's not because I'm I'm a badass or I'm I'm you know who I am.
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:18.720
It's just because for me, right now, I'm not coming from a place of desperation, which and I'm and I'm not talking because I'm Ava Divine.
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.799
I'm just saying I'm not in a desperate place.
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:28.400
For me, from my experience, whenever I'm desperate, I do really foul, careless things and I get in trouble.
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.279
Right, right, right.
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:29.759
Okay.
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.799
So today let's face it, you are top tier.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.440
So I mean that that that goes without saying.
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.079
You are you are top tier in this in this industry, okay?
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.480
Anyone who's anybody in the industry or is a fan knows who you are.
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.440
So thank you.
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:55.359
So the there I would I would only expect that whoever works with you has to work within the same uh at the same level as you.
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:58.079
I I it would only be an expectation.
00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.599
It's like anything else, right?
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:12.000
It's like um if uh whatever, like if I if you're a bodybuilder uh and you need to train for a bodybuilding contest, you're not gonna grab the guy that never did a contest before and doesn't know what he's doing to train with.
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.400
You're gonna grab the other guy who knows what he's doing.
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:24.000
So that's why I I I I I understand you're being modest, but I'm saying you're top tier, and those things I think are should be expected.
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:28.000
I think it's a good thing that they're that it it you should expect it.
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:33.759
Well, I mean, look, what are expectations or premeditated resentments?
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.640
Even even some of these people, right?
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:42.640
Even these some of these people that are top tier or whatever, they've counseled last minute.
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.799
I'm like, what or like or like what you know, crazy stuff?
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.559
And look, I'm I'm guilty.
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:49.839
I'm I'm guilty too.
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:54.799
I've done some last minute crap too, you know, like whatever.
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:04.960
But um, generally speaking, you know, I try not to, and I do try to be selective and and look, accidents happen, right?
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:06.079
Things happen, right?
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.440
Like I said, driving, you're in the car, or can you get to the destination safely, or do you get into an accident?
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:12.400
Do you get pulled over?
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:12.960
I don't know.
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:22.079
But I'm just saying there there are times where things don't go as planned, but good good enough, like like I'm I'm quick enough to go, okay.
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.359
Here's my backup plan.
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:28.319
I'll go live, I'll shoot some uh socials, I'm already dressed and ready.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:32.480
Like I'm not gonna make it a wash, or maybe I really am tired.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.279
I'm just gonna kick back and watch Netflix and hair and makeup.
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:35.680
Right.
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.640
You know, but but right, everything happens for a reason.
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:43.359
And and honestly, like I say, it's it's it's on God's time.
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:45.200
So if it's happening, it's happening.
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.400
If not, chalk it up and you know, try again.
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:54.319
So uh the majority of the content you make, uh, do you work for yourself and create your own schedule?
00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:02.240
Or it's oh, so it's not like you have uh, you know, a contract like it was in the old days where you have to start so not at all.
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:02.640
Yeah.
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.000
So what I I I like to have a schedule, I like to have a regimen.
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:09.839
So like every Tuesday I like to shoot my custom videos for my fans.
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.200
I dedicate that day for custom videos.
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.680
I have a hair and makeup artist ready to go.
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.079
That's why I'm like, okay, let's do our podcast.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:19.359
I'll be in hair and makeup.
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:20.559
It's Tuesday.
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.160
I did my customs earlier.
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.920
I did a little bit of social media, so I'm prepared, you know?
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:37.920
And and then and then I'll try and schedule some collabs maybe once a week or sometimes twice a week, or sometimes if someone's in town, then we'll like I'll shoot like almost every other day or every day.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.880
Right, right, okay.
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.799
Yeah, but but I like to have a schedule.
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.960
Because back in the day there was a lot of uh contracts with with production studios.
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.160
Is that accurate?
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:48.319
Yes, most definitely, yes, yes.
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:55.279
Okay, and was it did is what's the good and the bad?
00:28:55.440 --> 00:29:04.559
Uh you have obviously you have to shell out more of money now um because you're working for yourself, but but I would assume that you make more money because you're working for yourself.
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:06.240
Most definitely, most definitely.
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:23.200
Now, like I've
like I've said before, I've never I've never uh turned my nose against uh production companies or look down at comp production companies, but you know, look, uh my my little social media isn't gonna compete with browsers, Naughty America, you know, whatever, right?
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:24.960
But so it's great, it's great.
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.000
They they use me and I get free marketing, right?
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.559
But it's a flat fee.
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.000
I don't get any royalties, I don't make money in my sleep.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:39.440
My OnlyFans, my my OF, my my content, my collabs, my very own stuff.
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.640
I can make money while I'm sleeping.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.519
Because guess what?
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:50.000
The guy in Europe just bought my video that I shot with Sarah J and Alex Legend, or you know, so and then and then guess what?
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:50.720
It's mine.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.200
So I can make royalties of it off of it for however long.
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.880
It's if people want to buy it.
00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.559
That's definitely a huge benefit.
00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.680
Ah, yeah.
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:12.000
Now, today, today, if a young girl wants to get into the production company, is it one and done, or is it like uh back or or are contracts different?
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:36.240
Like if they find like uh let's say a new talent from Instagram or from OF or something like that, and one of these larger companies like North America or Brazzers or whatever, you know, do they give them a contract uh where they have to do a certain amount of content over a period of time, or is it like basically one and done, you're a new fresh face, uh come here, we'll pay for your travel and expenses, and then you go home?
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:46.960
Well, honestly, I've never been a contract girl for any any company, but from what I've heard, they they they have like, okay, so you're gonna do about uh I don't know, seven scenes a day.
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:50.720
Um seven scenes a month for this X amount of dollars.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:52.400
Oh, okay, okay, all right, all right.
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:54.960
And and you can't work for other companies, you know.
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.759
I think that that's what a contract girl is, I believe.
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.240
All right.
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:09.119
So I would assume that they these these young film stars want to get to where you're at, where they're working for themselves and they use it as a stepping stone.
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:14.240
Or are they just like, hey, this is the hot new thing that I'm that I'm doing right now.
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:20.480
I I really don't know what's the best way to approach that for someone that's young and up and coming.
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.720
I mean, I I don't know.
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.200
I don't know which route would be
better for them.
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.279
I mean, all I know is for me, I really enjoy doing my own collabs.
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:31.279
It's great when I work for other companies too.
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.680
Like I said, I'm not I'm not looking down at them.
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.759
But I honestly, I honestly love shooting my own stuff because guess what?
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:44.880
Uh if I want to be uh daddy divine and I want to shoot with a sissy or or some muscle dude, guess what?
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.440
I can call them.
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:46.240
I don't have to wait.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:46.400
Right.
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:51.920
Will Naughty America hire me for for daddy divine or kink, right?
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.440
I get I get to do it.
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:58.720
I I reach out to this guy, I reach out to the sissy, I reach out to the camera person.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.319
Are you able to film me on this day?
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.079
Or can you can we can we get together and like make something fun?
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.039
Right.
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:25.119
So Yeah, uh it is definitely uh uh I would think that the majority of people that are in the industry would would like to get to the status that you're at where you can make your own where you can make your own um time, make your own schedule, and make money, and like you said, it's always yours, and that you're gonna make money constantly.
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:28.400
I would think that I mean I might be wrong, but sure.
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:34.079
But but then but then also shooting for production companies has has great, great uh pros too.
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:38.640
Like they they have the hair and makeup artists, they have the camera people, right?
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:44.400
They have the elite photography, they have the elite shoot house, they have the they have the great marketing.
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.559
All you're gonna do is show up, right?
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:46.880
Right?
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.400
You're treated like royalty.
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.920
A lot of these companies are very high-end, very exquisite.
00:32:52.160 --> 00:33:03.119
So, so so now now the the new girl doesn't have to call the sissy, doesn't have to call the new photographer, doesn't have to look for a place to shoot, doesn't have to fork out money.
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.079
So even when you go to the uh expos, same thing.
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.559
You have to fork out money, that's all yours.
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:09.279
Yeah.
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.960
Mostly, unless, unless you sign for a company at the expos.
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:19.680
When you were before you retired, were you did you ever work for a company that you were like, I am never working for these fucking people again.
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.599
This was no.
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.480
Really?
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.279
You know what?
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:24.960
I'll tell you what, John.
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:32.960
I've had uh honestly, like really wonderful experiences in the adult industry.
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.680
Oh, that's good.
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.160
That's good time.
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:41.519
I've really like the the I've nah, I I can't say I've had bad experiences.
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:55.839
The only bad experience, if I've if I ever had anything, was my perception of that I'm not good enough because I wasn't stick figure in the society or whatever, or I was angry because the companies didn't want to shoot me, right?
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:57.839
But but honestly, where does it fall?
00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.720
On me.
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:00.720
It's my perception, right?
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:03.920
So so have I had any bad experiences for any companies?
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:04.720
Not at all.
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.759
They're all great.
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:08.159
Yeah, it's it's very respectful that you're accountable.
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:09.199
That's that's for sure.
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:12.480
That actually that actually makes me admire you even more.
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:26.880
Now, uh, when you first started uh in the industry, uh they they there used to be like a group of guys, five or six guys, that were reliable and they were in every movie, every content, so on and so forth.
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.039
Now you see there are so many different guys.
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.679
I mean, it's like they could literally pick anybody.
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:40.239
Um explain what you're more comfortable with and why that is.
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:50.320
I mean, I'm assuming it's that way because now you have Viagra, Cialis, the Trimix injection, like you can kind of you know, uh do it in a hotel room, like you're content creators.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:55.119
But back then you had like five or six guys, those are the guys that were reliable, those are the guys you worked with.
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:58.480
What is the what is the pros and cons for each?
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:03.360
Well, honestly, there's a saying it says cream rises to the top.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.119
People that are successful will shine.
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.719
There's no forcing, there's no word of mouth.
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:15.920
People that are successful, that are especially male performers, they will shine.
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:17.280
And guess what?
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:19.119
I seek them out.
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:21.360
I want to work with the Kieran Lee's.
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.599
I want to work with the big dick nicks.
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:32.400
I want to work with, you know, these guys that are reliable, that can keep wood, uh understand how to open you up for the camera.
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:49.679
Um professional shows up clean, ready to fill up paperwork, have their current tests ready, uh, have
their app outfits, uh just like and and like you you can't fake that, you can't pretend, you can't buy that, you can't mimic it.
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:51.519
You either have it or you don't.
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:51.920
Okay.
00:35:52.079 --> 00:36:00.800
You know, you could try your hardest, you could do 20 shots at TriMex, but if you don't have it in you, it will fail, it will flop.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:01.280
Okay.
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:12.719
So it the the people that that are like outstanding performers, the male performers, they they know they know everyone knows who they are, they know who they are.
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.039
Yeah, they're the professionals and they get the job done, right?
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:15.840
For sure.
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:16.960
Most definitely.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:27.760
Now, when guys, when guys watch, you know, corn, basically it's for the most part, it is a just a takeaway from reality, right?
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:35.119
They just kind of watch it, they don't think of their responsibilities, it takes them, takes them away for a little bit, they get off, and so on, so forth.
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:40.400
And most of the time, these guys look at the male performers and they go, Wow, that's gotta be amazing.
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:44.480
He gets to sleep with uh Avid Devine, he gets to sleep with Sarah J.
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:53.920
Do the guys in actuality enjoy it as much as the as much as the onlooker believes, or is it just a job to them?
00:36:54.400 --> 00:37:01.119
I mean, in all fairness, I can't speak for them, but realistically, in reality, is it is a job.
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:22.880
And and like I said, it's not a dirt dating service, and a lot of today's um you know, protocols or or what's the proper word with a lot of today's uh you know rights, uh got a lot of the female uh performers don't want the guy, don't want to be fluffers for the dudes.
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:30.639
They don't want creepy dudes, they want professionalism, they want the men to show up, or or I'll speak for myself, okay?
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:44.400
I want my male talent to show up, be ready to go, not sitting in the corner beating the meat, not fucking, not not uh trying to make out with me or or pound take me to pound town when the camera's not on.
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:59.199
Like it's you know, like and and or not struggle, you know, like because at the end of the day, it is a job, and we all have our own separate lives when when the camera like lights cameras you know actions shuts off.
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.400
Um we all uh respect one another.
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:11.119
And um, I just feel like you know, uh, I don't know if they're desensitized, I don't know if the trimex makes them numb.
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.000
I don't know.
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:20.559
I'm just assuming, but it could, but I'm just saying, like honestly, um, you know, it is a living.
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:38.559
And and right now in today's society, you gotta be on your best behavior or you will get called out, you will get canceled, you will get you will get uh uh alleged, you know, uh allegations thrown at you, you will get announced on social media as a rapist.
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.079
Like nobody's shy about that.
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:41.119
Uh tell me about it.
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.679
It's it's it's it's altogether too often, too.
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:44.400
It really is.
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:45.679
We see it all the time.
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:46.400
Yeah.
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.880
Have you ever been with a guy that you really liked?
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:50.800
Um, you liked working with, you know, didn't it?
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:57.599
Was it not romantically, but you you you kind of liked him, you liked working with him, and um, you worked with him plenty of times.
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.119
And this particular time, for some reason, he can't finish for whatever reason.
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:01.599
Sure.
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:08.239
Have you ever decided have you ever took it upon yourself, like, okay, I'll I'll help?
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:09.519
Most badly.
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:12.480
Like I said, I'm a team player, I'm a team player.
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.920
Okay, I'm a team player.
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:21.280
Because I interviewed Brittany Andrews, and her her her answer to me was, no, I don't give a shit what they the scene's over, I'm going home.
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:22.400
Well, well, sure.
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:27.280
Look, I I understand, and and like I said, you know, it is a job, right?
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:35.039
I'm not their girlfriends, I'm not their wives, I'm not their, you know, whatever, but I feel like I'm a team player.
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:40.239
And and and then another thing too, like to backtrack what we were talking about earlier, it is sex.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:42.880
We're having sex, it's a pleasurable thing.
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:44.880
Like, right, it's a great time.
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:47.920
It's a party, like it's sex.
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:51.920
So, so it is a job, yes.
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.239
Is it creepy?
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:56.639
No, it doesn't have to be.
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:00.079
I mean, I like creepy, but like I'm saying, like, but but you know what I mean?
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.079
Like, like, is it for cheap thrills?
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:07.519
No, it's for for a product, it's right for the consumer, it's entertainment for the consumer.
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.880
What did I say earlier?
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.280
If it doesn't make dollars, it don't make sense.
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:12.960
We're in it to win it.
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:13.199
Right.
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:13.840
Let's go.
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:16.960
Like, let's give them a good product, let's give them a good show.
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:26.639
So that so
there have been times where you've been with somebody that you know well, you've worked well before, and for some reason they're struggling, and you go, okay, tell me what you want me to do, and I'll let you get alone.
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:27.599
Most definitely.
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:34.880
Sometimes they want to be left alone, sometimes they need to watch something, sometimes they want their nipple licked, sometimes they want their balls played.
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:35.599
Whatever.
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:36.480
I'm a team player.
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.800
I can't and I will help out.
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:40.000
Oh, so much.
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:50.079
I'm not gonna, like I said, I don't want you to take me to Palentown if the camera's not rolling, but I'm gonna I'm gonna be as helpful as I can to the best of my ability.
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:51.519
Okay, okay.
00:40:51.920 --> 00:41:02.320
Since you've come back from your retirement, are there new things you do now that you wouldn't have done or you would didn't even think you would try?
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:03.760
No.
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.360
But come on.
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:09.920
Go ahead.
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:11.840
So um I love it all.
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:20.639
Except, except, like I said, I have I have more standards about the testing, and and I and I require whoever I shoot with, I I make it known.
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:26.400
I say before we even agree on a date or whatever, or once after we agree, can we shoot on this date?
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:30.639
I say, uh, just by the way, I require a seven-day max test.
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:32.800
So so that's my only difference today.
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:33.840
Okay, okay.
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:34.239
Yeah.
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:36.159
So, and you could clean it up.
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.000
Um just uh it's just an interesting question.
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:42.159
You can you don't have to get into you know the the details, you could just clean it up for YouTube.
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:58.239
What has been some of the things that maybe are more fetish aligned or for lack of a better term, uh strange to the ordinary consumer that you do, that you enjoy, that you've done in your career.
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.000
See, I it's crazy because it's everything's such the norm for me.
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:09.280
Like my girlfriends, like you are so desensitized.
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.159
I'm like, what?
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:13.679
I'm like, So throw some some throw some out at me.
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:14.320
It'll be fun.
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:24.239
Throw something out at me, and I'll tell you whether uh uh as as for the regular consumer, if that would be a little different or not, for lack of a better term.
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:32.719
Okay, well, um a lot of men want to experience other men with me.
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.039
Like, I'm not gonna get too explicit or detailed, but like they want to.
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.559
That's not that's not I mean more than two guys, two guys and a girl, okay.
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.920
You know, no, they want to they want to suck, you know, each other.
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:53.440
Yeah, they're they're like, Will you, you know, will you help me be like kind of like forced bisexuality?
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:54.559
I'm like, of course.
00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:08.719
They're like, they're like, yeah, so so I have many men that call me and they're like, Ava, and I gotta go, oh honey, you're you're my bisexual boyfriend, and I'm gonna bring you around and we're gonna get all these men and we're gonna do gangbangs.
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:10.000
And then guess what?
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:15.519
You're gonna eat me down there while the other one's pumping my back door.
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:22.800
And if it slips out, if it slips out and I take your head and make you fin it, clean that off, you're gonna love it.
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:24.719
And they're like, Oh my god, I love it.
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:25.360
You know.
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:33.119
Yeah, I think too, I there's probably more guys that admit to that, let me rephrase that.
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:37.280
There's probably more guys that really do enjoy that that won't admit to it.
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:48.079
Well, yeah, well, the the wonderful thing is is that people do uh I I can't really flatter myself, but people do feel safe with me with with because I'm so experienced.
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:52.000
But at the same time, men are not shy.
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:53.440
Men are not shy.
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:55.519
When their balls are full, they are not shy.
00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:57.440
Yeah, no, you happen to be right.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.360
I I'm I'm I'm uh unfortunately.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:03.360
Fortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I'm all about women.
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.559
Um that's okay.
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:06.559
I'm all about the women.
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:07.920
But you know, everything's okay.
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:19.840
But but those two, when I was on the dating apps, when I was doing some dating apps, a lot of the men would say, I would love for you to peg me, or I'd love for you in a trans to peg me.
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:26.800
And and I'm like, or they or some would go, oh, Ava, I'm 90% dominant, but I'm 10% sub.
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.480
But look at my butt shot.
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:29.280
Would you peg me?
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:30.880
And I'm like, honey, yeah.
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.519
I'm like, if I'm gonna peg you, you are 90% bottom.
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:38.880
Like you're not you're 90% submissive to me now.
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:39.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.880
On our first date, like, let's build first.
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:47.360
Like, yeah, let's build a foundation before I peg you.
00:44:47.760 -->
00:44:48.480
Baby steps, pal.
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.360
Because now I see you as my bottom.
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:53.519
Like, yeah, that's that's yeah.
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:53.920
Okay.
00:44:54.079 --> 00:45:02.480
So what what besides that, are there anything else that you could throw out at me and I could tell you that would be odd to a particular consumer or not?
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:04.000
Let's see.
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.400
I mean, like I said, I'm so desensitized.
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.320
Everything's so normal to me.
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.360
Okay, I'll I'll throw I'll throw something out to you.
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:12.559
Okay, all right.

Um, let me try to, I'm gonna try to clean it up, okay?
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.760
Yeah, how can I do it my my uh language?
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:23.920
Okay, all right, I'll try to clean it up myself.
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:24.960
How can I do?
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:26.320
Are you fine?
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:28.239
Okay, oh you're you're absolutely fine.
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:29.280
Yeah, no problems.
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:36.079
Um, you're with another couple, he finishes, you go down on her.
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:37.119
Sure.
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:48.800
No, that's so uh that that but like they're they're they're the guys are asking me if if we if we're doing a threesome and the dude finishes you, can I go down on you?
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:54.800
Sorry, that's give me a second.
00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.039
That is it's good.
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:02.800
No, no, such a whim.
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:04.239
Yeah, me.
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:06.800
All right, no, no, no.
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:10.480
I'm saying if you shot content, is that something you've done?
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:11.760
Oh, of course.
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:16.079
Out of the back door, like something fart to come out.
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:18.719
I'm like okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:19.360
All right.
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:23.679
Um uh I believe they call it water sports, sure.
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:28.000
Okay, for people who don't know who water sports is to clean it up, that is urination.
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:28.880
Sure.
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:32.159
Now, on yourself or on somebody else.
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:33.119
Oh my god.
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:38.400
Back in the early 2000s, it was so like so popular.
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:39.119
Really?
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:40.320
Oh my god.
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:42.159
It was uh what's his name?
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:43.519
What's his name?
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:45.519
The Max Hardcore.
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:47.039
That's all he did.
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:51.280
That was then then there was all these uh yeah, it was very, very popular.
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:57.280
Like, even I met there's this Hungarian guy I met that was an adult films actor.
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:02.320
That yeah, he he was like from Hungary or wherever he was from, Czechoslovakia or whatever.
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.199
And he's like, he's like, Eva, I don't understand this.
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:06.559
I was like, what, honey?
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.880
He's like, you Americans are so uptight.
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.239
I'm like, really, tell me more.
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:17.679
He's like, I go to the disco tap and I meet a girl, and we go home, and I golden shower in her mouth.
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:18.480
No problem.
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:19.679
I'm like, okay.
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:25.199
You know, so I guess Americans are uptight, but no, all right.
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:30.400
That might be strange to the ordinary consumer, but I understand that there is a niche for everything.
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:30.800
I get it.
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:38.639
Sure, most definitely, most definitely, and it can be fun in in the right, you know, right, right uh mind frame.
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:41.679
Now what about what about the um the opposite?
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:45.840
Not water sports, but I don't know what you want to call it, poop play.
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:46.639
Yeah.
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:50.159
You've now you on somebody else or somebody else on you?
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:51.199
Both.
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:52.239
You know who you're talking about.
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:52.719
Yeah, of course.
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:53.599
You know who you're talking about.
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.920
I'm sorry, Ava, but the only content I I watch of you are your boobs and you with another girl.

Sounding.
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:27.360
What is that?
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.239
With the metal rods in the pee hall.
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.440
Okay, yeah, no.
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:33.920
Okay.
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:35.840
And then you tap it and it vibrates.

Holy shit.
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:38.719

Well, they do it to women.
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:42.079
You're giving me an education today.
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:44.559

Um all right.
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:09.199
Now, same thing.

You on somebody else, somebody else on you.
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:21.119
I'm sorry, I just bothered yes, just let's look at letter D, all of the above.
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:25.039

I'm running, I'm I'm I'm limited, I'm running out of shit.
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:32.079
Jesus Christ.
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:32.400
Okay.
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:33.440
It's okay.
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:34.400
All right.
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:45.599
What do you have planned for the future as far as uh expos, content creation, uh any new um any new business ventures that you're doing?
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:46.159
I do.
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:46.719
I do.
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.039
I'm really working on my podcast.
00:49:49.360 --> 00:50:02.400
I am trying to revamp it and like kind of turn it more into more of an educational uh advocacy type of uh podcast.
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:06.079
I've also uh got a channel on OFTV.
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.400
So that's about yeah, yeah.
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:18.559
So so for my podcast, um, I really want uh my goal is to have my fans see me in a different light.
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:22.079
Um because there's many dimensions to Ava, right?
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.760
But we all don't get to see that.
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:31.599
And and I'm not, I there's no way I'll ever be ashamed of you know Ava, the adult film star.
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.480
You know, like like that is who I am.
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:35.599
It's in my veins.
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:39.360
It's like it's who I am, it's my being, it's me, right?
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:44.239
Yeah, but I do feel like I have I can have a good conversation.
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:46.480
Um I'm great at conversing.
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:56.239
Um, I also walked through many, many situations, and I'm still standing and I feel like um I'm pretty level headed.
00:50:56.320 --> 00:51:00.480
So I want to bring to not really level headed, but some but tiny bit.
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:17.199
But so I want to kind of bring to uh I want to bring a different dimension of Ava to the table for the fans to see, and and for entertainment purposes or for just for the hell of it, for for my own sake, you know, for my own psyche, for my own mental well-being.
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:18.320
Okay, you know what?
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:20.400
A few more questions and then I'm gonna let you go.
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:22.079
Okay, because you said that.
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:28.559
Let me ask about the everyday Ava Divine, not about the industry content.
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.679
Um uh I we follow each other on Instagram.
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:31.920
Yeah.
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:34.960
I see that you are a big fitness person, just like me.
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:35.840
Thank you.
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:39.039
Um is that your how often do you train?
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:41.440
How often do you work out to stay in shape and whatnot?
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:47.920
Um honestly, um, as you know, right, 80% of what we eat is how our body looks.
00:51:48.079 --> 00:51:50.880
Uh, right, the other 20% is the gym.
00:51:51.199 --> 00:52:07.599
So honestly, like I don't I only work out like two to if I'm lucky, four times a week, but mainly two, because I work a lot and I and I have a lot of uh collabs and and content that I gotta shoot, which which I gotta be in hair and makeup two hours.
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.079
You know, like I don't have time to run to the gym and do all that.
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:12.719
But I don't know how you girls do it with the hair and makeup.
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:14.400
It's un how do you sit still?
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.599
It's unbelievable.
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:25.280
My niece is a makeup artist, and she's uh she we we uh she now lives in New Jersey and she did, I think it was the Jersey Housewives.
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.239
Um yeah, she had uh she she's really good at what she does.
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:32.000
Yeah, these girls sit there for hours upon hour.
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:34.719
I don't know how you girls have the patience to just sit there.
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:36.719
It's unbelievable to me.
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:43.760
Well, well, it's it's somewhat therapeutic because you build a relationship with the makeup artist and you guys talk.
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:48.480
Um, it's also uh, you know, so so it's like it's pretty kind of therapeutic.
00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:51.119
Um, it's not painful, it's enjoyable, right?
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:52.480
Because then guess what?
00:52:52.639 --> 00:53:02.079
I I I'm like I feel more, you know, like more a little bit more confident to like want to be in front of the camera and stuff because I don't know how to put makeup on.
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:04.320
I'm not a licensed makeup artist.
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:05.519
I choose not to be.
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:10.239
I'll throw on lashes, little shadow, little blush, gloss, go to the gym.
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:10.719
Cool.
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:14.239
Run to the mall, cool, run some errands, great.
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:18.480
But when I need to be in front of a camera, I don't know how to do makeup for the camera.
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:20.639
I don't know how to do makeup for photos.
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:21.440
I don't.
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:25.599
I could pull it off with filters or whatever, but honestly, that's
not my job.
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:28.400
I don't, I didn't, I don't want, I don't care to know about that.
00:53:28.639 --> 00:53:29.199
Right, right, right.
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:29.760
Right.
00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:34.079
So, but then right, so I hire wonderful people that are experienced in that.
00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:34.400
Right.
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:39.519
And and I and I have them glam me up for photos, videos, etc., etc.
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:42.559
So, so I'm I'm putting out a product, right?
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:44.880
So I want an elevated product.
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:49.360
So that's why, so that's why I get my hair and makeup done, which is a wonderful luxury, I will have to say.
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:55.760
It is such a gift to have such talented women glam me up while I sit there and bitch and moan to them.
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:59.199
I mean, it's like it's like it's obviously working because you look fantastic.
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:03.519
Every time we do a uh content, every time we do a video together, interview together, you look fantastic.
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:04.559
So it's obviously working.
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:13.280
But it's also healthy living too, because I I say no concealer, no foundation will cover up exhaustion.
00:54:13.440 --> 00:54:14.480
No, I've tried.
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:16.559
Trust me, I've tried.
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:20.079
There's not enough powder makeup for purple about it.
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:20.639
Yeah, yeah.
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:22.480
If I had three hours to sleep, there's no need to do that.
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:23.280
Oh, yeah, exactly.
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:23.920
You're done.
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:24.320
Yeah.
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:29.599
Um, what other hap um hobbies do you have outside of that world?
00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:37.280
Well, you know, it's funny because like uh I'm such a part of Ava.
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:43.039
Like I'm trying my hardest to kind of go, what does Gina like?
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:45.119
Like, what what do I like?
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:55.039
Like I'm such a I'm such a worker bee that like I don't know, but I do, I'm I'm trying to tap in and I'm trying to discover.
00:54:55.119 --> 00:55:03.199
Well, first of all, I love my 12-step programs, my sobriety and and my my clean time is just really, I'm really passionate about that.
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.039
Um, I love working with others.
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:10.960
I love working with other women, reading books, the 12-step literature with them, taking them through the steps, and vice versa.
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:14.719
Um, I and I love having a sponsor that does that for me.
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.000
Um, I love uh I love reading biographies.
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:21.119
I really I love biographies.
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.039
I love autobiographies and biographies.
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:28.079
It's so fascinating, especially when I can resonate with them.
00:55:28.159
--> 00:55:31.360
And I love success stories and I love failure stories too.
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:34.239
I love the last biography you read.
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:35.840
Jody Sweeten.
00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:37.199
Jody Sweetener.
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:39.039
No, I have to look her up.
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:42.960
It's from Full House, the little the Stephanie girl.
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:44.400
Okay, I remember the character.
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:44.559
Sure.
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:45.760
I'm getting goosebumps.
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:47.920
Do you know she was a tweaker?
00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:48.800
Really?
00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:49.440
Uh-huh.
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:50.960
A drug addict tweaker.
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:51.599
Oh, wow.
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:59.039
And everything, and I listened to her book on audio, and I was like, I'm getting chills.
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:00.719
I was like, check, I get it.
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:02.000
Yep, I understand.
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:03.920
Oh, done that, been there.
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:06.000
Most definitely, I remember that.
00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:08.960
Like the whole entire uh story.
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:20.000
I was just, I was like, I can't believe like like this little girl that I saw on TV is is identical to like uh her and I walked through the same hell.
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:24.239
I was like, how did that how did that happen?
00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:24.800
Wow.
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:25.199

I'll have to I'll have to look it up.
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:34.159
Um I was and like I stumbled upon it on my audio, my uh audible.

Yeah, it just the the uh the the child actors they seem to go through hell for some reason.
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:41.519
A lot of them have a hard time.
00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:45.119
Uh if I had kids, I think I would keep them away from child acting.
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.119
It's it's everywhere, right?
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:48.960

00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:05.280
Yeah, what's funny is people are scared of her, but you call my house, it's play it's playtime.
00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:05.920
It's playtime.
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:06.400
Of course.
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:07.760
Playtime, it's unbelievable.
00:58:08.559 --> 00:58:09.920
Yeah, that's joyful.
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.559
Um, are you going to be at any more expos?
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:17.840
I think there was an expo in Chicago that was just recent.
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:18.480
Yeah.
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:19.519
Will you be?
00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:21.039
I don't know when the next ones are.
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:25.199
I think there's one in Florida, in Miami, if I'm right, or Orlando.
00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:28.079
And then there's gonna be the every year there's one in New Jersey.
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.159
Yes, I was there last year.
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:32.719
Um I'm not I'm not certain.
00:58:32.880 --> 00:58:33.920
I'm not certain.
00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:37.599
I do love being at AVN in my own backyard, you know.
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:38.239
Oh, okay.
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:39.280
I do love that.
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:49.039
The uh the only thing with traveling for me is that sometimes I get a little bougie and then I'm like a million dollars out.
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:50.559
I'm like, yeah.
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:56.079
So so I'm trying to like pull back a little bit, but I don't know.
00:58:56.239 --> 00:58:59.119
I mean, if if the if the opportunity presents itself, I will.
00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:00.400
And I love getting a booth.
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:12.400
I love getting a booth and signing autographs because I'm telling my and I know everyone always says this, but for me, my fans are so amazing.
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:16.639
Like well, we have to we have to remember that we would be nothing without them.
00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:17.280
Exactly.
00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:26.239
I'll I'll be in a gutter, you know, uh, with whoever, Randos, but but these people are like, oh my god, uh I I I fall.
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:27.519
They're like, they're
amazing.
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:29.360
I gain weight, so hot.
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:31.519
I I look crazy, the best.
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:32.960
I'm like, are you kidding me?
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:34.320
And they like you.
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:36.079
Yeah, and look, some don't.
00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:42.800
I get it, but but generally speaking, I will say there's some like unconditional love there.
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:43.440
No joke.
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:47.360
I it's like we've I don't know, it it's very heartfelt.
00:59:47.519 --> 00:59:56.880
It's like I've built some relations, some friendships, some relationships with some of these fans, and they're just they're like, they're like my ride or die.
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:58.400
It's so amazing.
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:06.960
Yeah, they know the the the top tier girls uh have a really, really loyal follower.
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:12.719
A tremendous lot, you Sarah J, um, Brittany Andrews, there's a tremendous lot.
01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:25.360
As a matter of fact, um, I think when I interviewed Sarah J, I uh I because I met her at the no, I I met her at the expo, but I got in touch with her through social media to get the interview, and then I met her at the expo in New Jersey.
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:28.159
And tell me if I'm tell me if I'm wrong, and then then I'll let you go.
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:29.679
I don't want to take too much of your time.
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:30.880
You're fine.
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:37.360
When I went to the expo, there were basically four different types of people that go that go to the expo.
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:38.480
Okay, let's hear it.
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.159
All right, so the the one the first one was just the couples that want to like spice up their life.
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:42.639
Yeah, right?
01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:51.840
The married couples or the boyfriend, girlfriend that they go there, and you know, because when you go there, there's all different types of toys and clothes, and and they're they actually have a really good time and they want to spice up their love life.
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:53.519
With obviously nothing wrong with that.
01:00:53.760 --> 01:01:01.519
The second type is the guys that go to the bar and afterwards they're like they're drunk and they go, come on, let's go to the fucking expo.
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:08.320
And there's like three, four, five of them, and then they're like they're doing things like picking you up over their head over your head and taking pictures of you and stuff like that, right?
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:10.000
Am I accurate so far?
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:19.920
I mean, I don't know about the drug people, but I I I will say this the couples that come are so supportive of each other.
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:28.239
It like it it's like wow, relationship goals, like they are like women go, can you take a picture with my husband?
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:29.199
I'm like, of course.
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:30.719
I'm like, what about you?
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:45.280
You know, and and like and but like how supportive, like you know, I I know I know so many people, or even when I used to be psycho jealous, you know, like I I don't I don't want to hear about that, or like and and like that's a team, yeah.
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:46.639
They're doing it for each other, yeah.
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:52.960
Yeah, and they're and then and then like the girls, like, oh, I love you know, we watch or whatever, like what a team.
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:55.280
Like, wow, good for you guys.
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:56.559
So yeah, I love that.
01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:04.960
Then the the third type of type of fan that I've saw when I went there uh was either I don't I wouldn't even call them trans.
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:09.599
They're basically just finally comfortable in their own skin.
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:16.079
It'll be like a guy that looks like me, throws, yeah, and with a bag, and you could clearly tell it's a dude.
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:20.239
Um, but it's it's almost like uh oh, I fit in there.
01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:21.039
I could be myself.
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:22.480
I'm comfortable in my own skin.
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:23.039
Yes.
01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:24.159
I've seen that a lot.
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:31.519
And then the the fourth type, which is I I call them what did I what did I call them?
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:32.639
The super fans.
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:44.880
They know everything about you, they know like where you're from, what your real name is, your birthday, they know your favorite color, they know what scene you did with who, they know everything about you, and they wait online for two hours to get an autograph.
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:46.000
Yes, right?
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:47.119
Yes.
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:53.360
So those those seem to be the four types of uh fans that go that I've noticed.
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.199
And then there's me who's trying to get interviews.
01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:58.159
I'm like, Ava, can you do Mike up podcast, please?
01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:01.360
But but what do they all have in common?
01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:12.800
They all they basically all love the industry, yeah, and and and they're just there like to to say, hey, I I watch you, I like you.
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:13.360
Oh, yeah.
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:14.079
Or absolutely.
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:18.000
You know, like like get like God, that that's so wonderful.
01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:37.440
And you know how much like work or or or courage it is to go up to someone that you've watched for years or you see on the big screen or whatever, like do you much courage you gotta go up to someone and say, can I have an autograph in fear of rejection, in fear of they're gonna be mean, in fear they're gonna charge you a million dollars?
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:39.039
Like, like whatever.
01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:42.639
Like, like
it's it's it's incre it's crazy.
01:03:42.719 --> 01:04:02.159
And like that's why I'm like, oh my God, I will I'll I'm so kind to each and every one because unless they're rude, but well, other than that, like it takes a lot of coverage because trust me, I saw some famous woman at at the airport one time, and and I saw a dead mouse at at the JSX one, and I was so nervous.
01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:03.440
I was so nervous.
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:12.800
And and I and I wanted to go up to them, and I smiled at one of the girls and sh uh and she looked at me rudely, and I was like, wow, like how heartbroken I was.
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:17.760
I was like, and I was so let down, I was like, I will not support him anymore.
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:20.559
That's happened to that's happened to me, it's happened to all of us.
01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:24.480
Yeah, we've met people that we idolize and they're mean or they're rude.
01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:25.039
Sure.
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:42.800
And and you never want to give that, and and I because of what you just said, I mean, basically this interview has made me admire you and respect you even more because I kind of got to know a little bit more about the real you as opposed to the first interview where we talked about um you know your experience in the industry.
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:53.199
Yeah, I admire that even more because, like you said, uh there are people that idolize you and they just want to know that you are a pleasant person when they meet meet you.
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:53.599
That's it.
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:54.480
And I appreciate it.
01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:56.159
And I appreciate it.
01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:57.199
That's all they're looking for.
01:04:57.440 --> 01:04:58.400
Exactly, exactly.
01:04:58.480 --> 01:05:04.079
That's what each and all those four different fans you named are just want to say, Hey, I appreciate you.
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:08.480
And for the and for the starlit or whoever to go, I appreciate you right back.
01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:09.760
Thank you for your support.
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:11.840
That's all they want, that's all I want.
01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:13.039
Right, right, right, right.
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:13.679

I yell at you, I curse you, and I tell you I love you, I tell you I hate you.
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:41.199
