Transcript

00:00So your career really started when a man on the street interview about how much money you made

00:05went viral. Where were you when that interview happened and how did that go down? So I was in

00:10Brisbane in Australia and it was this, I'd seen them on TikTok before, this company called Get

00:15Ahead, like a job finding app. And I knew what they'd ask and their questions are, what do you

00:20do and how much money do you make? And I was walking down the street, like running errands

00:23that day. And I saw them and I was like, oh, you know, I'm doing social media a bit now,

00:27but I like passed them by. I'm like, I don't want to bother them. It's kind of cringe to like go up to

00:31them and say something that they were interviewing someone, kept running errands. A few minutes later,

00:35I'm walking past them again. They had no one. And I just walked up to them like, hey, I have a pretty

00:39cool job. If you want to ask me about it, no screening questions, nothing. They're like, yep.

00:43All right. Camera's rolling. Let's do it. And first I dodged the question about how much money do you

00:48make? If you watch the interview, they clip that together from a bit at the end. But you know,

00:52I'm glad I did it because that went insanely viral. And yeah, it just blew me up. That moment

01:00in my career was the most money I'd made in like a week. It was crazy.

01:03I haven't seen it. So how much was it?

01:06So I said in the interview, I'm making $40,000 to $80,000 a week? Month. Yeah. Month.

01:17Month.

01:17Yeah. I thought you were going to say a week and I was going to be impressed, but it's a month. Oh my

01:22God. Get out of here. Change. Chump change. Yeah. But it's gone up since then as well, a lot. And

01:28I'm like, I'm sure it has. I've had a couple of viral moments since then. But yeah, no, it was an

01:34insane period of time in my life because all of a sudden, like Cardi B retweeted it. Rolling Stone

01:39reached out to interview me along with Daily Beast and all the major Australian newspapers reached out.

01:44But I ended up getting like a centerfold spread in the Australian newspaper, which is like a pretty

01:50big newspaper. And funnily enough, it's like a conservative newspaper. And they ran like a

01:55four page story on the Girthmaster. Pictures of me and everything.

01:58Wow. How did that feel?

02:01Totally surreal. Like all of a sudden, like I was the topic of Twitter for three days.

02:07Yeah.

02:07I was the most Googled person at the time, I think. If you clicked the Google search bar,

02:11Girthmaster popped up. Yeah.

02:12Like without typing anything in it just, it was totally surreal. Yeah. And all the conversation

02:16around me was, you shouldn't do it, but I'm searching myself on Twitter and reading every

02:21word written about me. And it's...

02:23Was there some stuff in there that was hard to read? Like...

02:25Not really. No, everyone was really nice to me. Like there were a couple like...

02:30Of course, there's a few critics, you know, people are saying things like...

02:33If you look at like the Rolling Stone articles comment section, it's, you know,

02:38you choose a guy to be the face of sex work and blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

02:41Which are valid criticisms. Yeah.

02:43You know what I mean? Like, I do have it much easier than a lot of the women in terms of like

02:47the level of scrutiny that I face. Yeah.

02:49And the comparison I use, the reason I was comfortable saying how much money I made

02:54was because Kazumi did it and I saw it go viral for her. I was like, oh, Kazumi did it. It was good

02:58for her. I'll do the same thing. If you compare the feedback in the comment sections from Kazumi

03:04doing it to me doing it, it's night and day. Yeah.

03:06I'm getting all this praise and like living every guy's dream. She was getting like constant hate

03:12for talking about how much money she makes. Yeah.

03:14There is a definite double standard there, I think. Yeah.

03:17So that's reading those comments, I guess it's not hard to read because like I understand that

03:20it's frustrating. Yeah. And it's a valid criticism to make. So like, yeah, I understand.

03:25But hopefully the way that I try to do it, like what I spoke to Kazumi about exactly that. I'm like

03:29crazy to see how much hate you got and I'm getting praise. And she was like, well,

03:34it's good to see somebody getting the praise. And like, hopefully that helps to normalize that

03:38kind of thing. You know, like maybe next time they'll see that I did it. They're not going

03:42to hate women for doing it. Yeah.

03:45If someone's going to, someone has to get, I don't know. I don't know what I'm trying to say

03:48here, but like. No, I totally understand. I mean, the thing is, is that like, it takes

03:52people like Kazumi who's willing to go out there, put themselves out there and take the criticism

03:57to move the needle. You know, like the opinion of society doesn't change overnight. It shifts

04:04slowly. Yeah. I've been lucky to get things like the Rolling Stone Australian newspaper,

04:07like brand deals and things like that. And maybe, you know, and probably definitely I'm getting

04:14opportunities because I'm a straight white man that looks like the guys that are making these

04:19decisions on what to do. But hopefully if I do a good job at it, I'm just going to be the first

04:24sex worker and I kind of keep the door open for other people to get those opportunities. Like

04:27next time, if they consider doing it with a female, they'll think, oh, you know, we had that

04:31guy at that time and it went well. Everything was good there. So we'll continue doing deals with

04:36sex workers. The thing is, is like, just because like, you know, women face like vitriol and face

04:42that kind of negative feedback doesn't mean that like you don't get to enjoy like positive feedback.

04:48You know what I mean? Like it's not your fault that like society is misogynistic. You know what I

04:53mean? Like you're not a misogynist. It's just like the way that it is.

04:57Yeah. I don't want to turn down opportunities I'm getting because it's good for my career.

05:00And I don't think it would help anybody else's career if I turned down these opportunities.

05:04And I don't think anybody faults you for it.

05:06This is the, you know, half dozen people on Twitter that I find when I search my own name.

05:11Oh yeah. Well, I mean, there's always going to be angry people out there. And of course,

05:15those are the comments that we remember, right? And that's the stuff that we internalize.

05:19The, you know, you get a hundred positive comments and you get one negative one. And it's the negative

05:25one that we focus on. It's human nature. And that's why I never read the comments. So you can say

05:31whatever you want about me. Fuck you. I don't read it.
