I mean, just to think it, you know, I was sharing with someone, you know, there's, you know, 40 of my friends, suicide, overdose. Those porns are still there. You know, it's like, man, if I could encourage someone that's watching that now, it's like, man, you know, there's this like,

There's all these things that are true while you don't know if there was forced fraud or coercion regarding the scene that you're watching. You don't know how old that person is. You don't know if they gave consent. And then in this situation, what I'm saying is you don't know if the thing in which they did...

caused them so much pain and hurt that it led to their death, and you're partaking in the thing in which caused their demise, and you're extracting pleasure from it. And that person is dead because of what they did, and they're still making money off of it. I mean, it's crazy.

I mean, right before November 4th, last big push from the Harris-Walls campaign, they ran ads on Pornhub in seven different states. Why? 120 million viewers a day. And they ran an ad saying it was someone that, you know, a character that somewhat resembled Trump walking in. And it was so gross. There was this guy masturbating underneath a blanket.

And he was looking at his phone and someone that looks like Trump comes in and takes the phone away and says, if you don't want to lose your right to watch porn, you better vote in the same way that you want, you know, to consume that. Are you shitting me? No. Seven states ran those ads. What states? I'm not sure. Jeez.

I mean, I would assume very left states, but we're about to get to a point in the story that's pretty cool.

Oh, yeah.

I know one girl. I don't know one guy. Well, I know guys that have made it out. I don't know guys who are whole and healthy. For example, a good friend of mine, his name's Greg. His porn name is Randy Spears. He even had a character on Family Guy. And he lives in San Antonio, and he still goes by Randy Spears. He's got a normal job. He's not in the porn industry anymore.

He's about 10 years older to me. But, you know, I talked to him and it's like, you know, he called me Rocco. Like when he called, I called him and left him a voice memo or a voice message because he didn't answer. And when he called me back, he called me Rocco. And he said that, you know, he was Randy. And he sent me his social, he like texted me his social media and Randy Spears.

And I think it's this belief that who I am, could never supersede that persona. So I'm going to cling on to that because my worth is so much less than this. Yeah, I know one person named Brittany. She lives in Santa Barbara with her husband, Richard. They're actually both in ministry. They actually help girls that are in trafficking or prostitution. They kind of help them get back on their feet.

But yeah, she's the only person that I know.

Tons. Every day. And it's like, some people are very frustrated with me. Because I mean, there's still people who are in the industry that are very successful that either I, you know, I mentored or were good friends to me because, you know, a lot of the guys who were younger when I was in the industry, you know, they were like, you know, how do I do this? how do I do this right?

How do I make a career out of this? You know, how do I, you know, because the thing that I was best at was, well, I understood, well, if you get relational equity with a director, then he's going to hire you often. He's going to recommend you, you know, to other people. I understood networking, understood relationships.

And it's like, I wasn't, I was a good actor, you know, but I cared about people and I remember people's names and, you know, so like simple stuff was the things that allowed me to be very successful in that industry. And I was just teaching them simple things that worked well for them.

But I've had conversations as of recently, as recent as a month ago, of people who are very, very successful in the industry today that have been in the industry now approaching 15, 20 years, saying, man, I thought we were friends. And I was like, what do you mean by that? He's like, you say all this stuff about the industry. I'm like, yeah, man, I detest the industry with every fiber of my being.

And I think it's vile and evil, but I love you. I don't have to agree with what you're doing. I understand you find identity in that, so I understand why that feels offensive to you. But I don't have any animosity towards you. I wish you would do something different with your life.

Because the reality is, bro, if you are, girls also, if you're in the top 3% to 5% of any industry, you have the capacity of being excellent at another trade and being more successful. You have charisma and gifts and talents that you are misappropriating.

But if you surrender and you submit to your life, to the person of Jesus Christ, and allow him to take the things that he put in you and point them in the right direction, guess what? You're going to 10x your success. And it's going to be something that you're doing that is fulfilling because it's going to be the thing that you're made to do. So yeah, I don't hate you.

I hate the choices that you're making, but I don't hate you. And they just don't get it. So there has been a lot of situations that I wish that I could have had the conversation in person.

So day one, I'm living now in Raleigh, North Carolina. And first thing I do, I'm like, you know what? I've got a Celtic cross tattoo on my shoulder that for some reason in my mind, like I'm not walking around with my shirt off, but I'm like, I know that is on a hundred, you know, covers of porn, you know? I'm going to get that covered up. So I get it covered up.
