Yeah, are you interesting? 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.160 I'd like to think so. I have a I have 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.520 a very interesting career. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.000 What is your career? 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:45.720 I am a romance ghost writer. I have written, uh, 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:52.320 just finished my thirtieth book for other people, many of 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.600 them New York Times bestsellers. They haven't written their work. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:56.440 It's me. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.720 Does it bother you that you write the work and 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.239 then the other people get to take the credit? 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:08.639 You know, at first it did. Because I'm also a 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.280 serious like a serious author. I also have my own career, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.679 and it is not nearly as lucrative, but I get 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:23.480 to explore some really interesting things, such as what. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:26.680 Well. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.200 I've written just about every type of romance under the sun, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:36.320 with the exception of male pregnancy, but I've done everything else. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.640 I did not know that there were so many different 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.120 types of romances. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.920 Oh my god, there's countless. There's fetishes for everything. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.400 One to write. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.200 So for as much kink as I write, I'm actually 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:59.320 pretty ni less, so it's, uh, it's like a stretch 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.520 for me to write base. But it's interesting because when 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:03.800 you write, you have to get into the head of 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.480 somebody else, right, So I've got to get into a 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.240 headspace for all of these different kinks, these different types 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.440 of people you get involved in the LGBTQ community, all 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.320 of these different things where I don't necessarily fit. I've 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.280 got to find a way in. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.640 For lots of So let me ask you a question. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.280 I'm curious. So I hope you don't find this insulting 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.720 or anything. It's not meant to be. But if you've 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.600 written thirty novels, right, and you're writing for all these 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.039 high profile bestseller people, why don't you just write the 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.320 thing yourself instead of writing for all these people. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.280 Unfortunately, publishing is a lot more than just writing books, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.200 Like real talk, the actual business side of it is 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.080 really shitty. My own personal books are not selling nearly 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.720 as well. To make the kind of money that I 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:59.479 do writing for my current clients, it's a total MoneyGram. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:05.240 Now it's fuel. It funds my work so I can 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:09.200 pay for editors, cover designers, marketing. I mean, I didn't 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.080 I don't have a business degree, so it's it's a 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.640 lot of work navigating the business side of writing. But 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.679 if I just write smut for other people, it's fun 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.359 and I get paid to do it. I get paid 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.279 to watch porns. I get paid to write porns. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:38.960 That's my own. Ever turn you want? Yes, do you like? Hmmm? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:39.600 Do you have it? 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.000 Do you do you ever like? What was I gonna say? 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:44.120 Oh? 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.320 Yeah? 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.080 Do you have trouble writing for romantic genres that you 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.400 personally don't find a rousing but are doing so just 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.040 for the money? 0:05:54.160 --> 0:06:01.760 Yes, for example, a big one any industry to call 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.760 them alpha holes. It's like the whole alpha male persona. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.159 It's not a thing for me at all. It's a 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.400 huge turn off. I think you look like a douche 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.760 if so like, it's not an appealing fantasy for me. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.560 But I have written a lot of them, and while 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:24.760 it gets easier with time, it's still ah. My most 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.799 recent project was like dragon Nails across my skin, trying 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.919 to finish just because I found the lead male? Is 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:32.800 that infuriating? 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:39.120 Do you consider like you being aroused as like indication 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.960 that your writing is good? 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:42.240 So? 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:47.880 Yeah, I mean it may be my imagination. But if 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.080 I can get turned on someone else in their imagination, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.359 surely is I like that. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.360 That's how I kind of feel about like, you know, 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.040 jokes or something you know, like if you're writing something 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.760 and you're like, I think this is fun If I 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.440 think this is funny, then we'll think it's funny. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.040 You're not the only one with that sense of humor. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.000 I'm not the only one who's turned on by certain things. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.920 Like it's a as long as you connect with somebody, man, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:11.880 it's good. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:13.200 Well what did you say? 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.280 Your name was Veronica? 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.880 Well, thank you for sharing Veronica. I I you know, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.160 maybe one day I'll be reading you and not knowing. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.880 I certainly hope. So thanks Gek, you. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:34.000 Have a good night, you too, all From hot Dog. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.120 Hot Dog, Hello, Gek, how are you? 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.560 Are you interesting? Hot Dog? 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.840 I have been told I'm very interesting. I think that 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.960 might just be based off of how I was raised, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:05.840 or poor decision making led to a very interesting event 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.920 in my life. 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.200 Why did poor decision making lead you to believe that 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:10.960 you are interesting? 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.520 Because it has led to very interesting experiences and has 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.240 shaped how I have grown as a person. I feel 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.760 very desensitized to a lot of things based off of 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:28.760 these decision making. Yes, I guess that's a good. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.960 Are you comfortable sharing any of these interesting events? 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:36.120 Yeah? 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:36.839 I can share some. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.560 Let's see. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.480 Okay, well lets start when I was younger. That's like 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:49.560 a good one. So when I was younger, my upstairs neighbor, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.440 she was my best friend. Her older sister used to 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.839 sell candy, just like to make money for you know whatever. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.319 She her sister was like. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.480 Yes, normally I asked people to get closer to the mic, 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.800 but can you get a tiny bit farther from the mic? 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.320 How does that sound? Or actually give me one second? 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:09.920 Yeah? 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:10.679 I gotcha. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.000 Wait is that better? 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:15.680 Yes? 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.200 Okay, wonderful. So my friend's older sister used to sell candy, 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.880 and that led to me wanting to buy candy from 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.160 our older sister. So I would hustle around the neighborhood. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.920 And I was raised in a very low income neighborhood, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.360 so it was a little bit sketchy. But there was 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:41.280 a pond behind our neighborhood. And at the same time, 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.760 I had just found my mom's condoms and you know, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.079 other things around there. But I had stole I had 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.960 stolen a string of condoms from my mom's drawer and 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.480 I put two and two together, and I was like, oh, 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.760 there are guppies and frogs and fish in this pond. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.199 And I had just gone to a fair recently, we 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:01.880 around that time, and I thought that they were selling 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.840 goldfish and like little bags and shit like that. So 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.000 I took those condoms. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:08.880 I had. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.960 Basically done the same idea. I had taken the guppies 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:15.439 from the pond and put them in the condoms, and 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.720 I had been selling them to the kids around the neighborhood. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:23.520 And yeah, that was bags of fish, but they were 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.240 in condom bags as opposed to little fish bags. 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:33.079 Yes, but yeah, that had I had just wanted to 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.800 buy candy from my friend's older sister. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.760 That was basically what. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.200 Was the going rate for a condom fish? 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.960 Oh, it was like one dollar a bag, so not 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.160 that much, and I think that was like pretty reasonable. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.440 The margins are I guess if you stole the condoms, 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:47.640 the margins are pretty good. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.079 Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. I didn't know what condoms were. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.319 I was like eight or nine at this time. They 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.200 were colorful too, so I thought they were like, you know, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.520 some sort of balloon or something like that. So yeah, 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.000 a little bit but a little bit fucked up. So 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.320 I guess that led to interesting decision making because I 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.840 found that that did work for me. I did get 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.360 candy from my friend's older sister, and uh, I guess 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.200 I played a little bit of a part of my life. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.080 I think about that incident quite a lot because I 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.040 do find myself doing things like that for stuff I 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:22.520 would like. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.880 But yeah, wow, so you've been entrepreneurial for since a 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:29.800 very young age. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.760 I have, I have recently, I hadself. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.480 Yes, that's what I was gonna ask, is what's you know, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.400 an entrepreneurial effort that you've found yourself in recently. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.400 So I do have a normal job. I work at 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.520 a gas station. You know, that's fun and all what out, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.240 but it doesn't make that much money. So I have 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.719 found that Craigslist is a very fun place to do 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.200 dumb shit to earn money. Like the other day, I 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.960 had sold this dude. I don't know what his interest 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.040 was in these, but I sold this dude that I 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.480 met on Craigslist just some fucking ear swabs, you know, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.840 like the little what are they called Q tips?

Like 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.320 you crazier scooter down the hallway of your high school 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:25.359 from Spanish? 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.800 Done that it wasn't in the school. Like my school 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.880 had a very outdoorish campus. It's like it was built 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.399 in the fifties, so instead of you know, making a 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:38.960 new campus in like twenty twenty, they just kept building 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.240 onto it. So like there's different buildings all outside and 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:46.879 it's like a half mile wide campus, so it was 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.280 hard to get around. But to like went into together 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.080 within a five minutes. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:52.720 I believe it was. 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.159 So I just kind of wrote scooter between classes and 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:58.680 then got the admessiration on my side? 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.639 Was this a thing? Was this or was it mainly? 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.880 Were you the scooter guy? Or was everyone doing scooters? 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:06.400 Your boy? 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.800 Wow? So what do you mean by the administration was 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.480 on your side? Was there a big war between scooter 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:15.280 and no scooter? 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.280 No? No, there might have been ever one against me 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:20.000 and my friend. 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.879 But what happened? Do you think it upset people that 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.320 you wrote a scooter? Do you think that they thought 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.359 you thought you were better than everyone else and that 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:29.280 made them resent you. 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.000 I don't think that. I didn't end up on school's 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.919 Instagram mean page a couple of times. Mostly it's just 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.280 people like, Hey, that's kind of cool or that's kind 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:39.720 of funny. 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.840 You know, there's a thing that happens when you in 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.399 the culture of high school. Some kids become memes. You know, 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.560 I kind of I kind of remember this. You know, 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.560 we had a few kids that would would become memes, uh, 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.760 and they get the there's kids in your school that 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.920 sometimes when when you become memified, Q, I feel like 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.200 it paints you. It turns you into like this two 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:08.040 dimensional portrait of you are the scooter kid and that 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.520 is all you are. Do you did you ever feel bad? 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.560 Did you ever want people to know you as more 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.120 than just the scooter kid? Q? Did you ever feel 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.679 bad that that you were locked into that? 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.200 I don't think I got locked into that. Well maybe 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.520 me for like the freshmans that came in, but I 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.240 only started doing that the second half high school. That's 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.880 when I became troubled to like get the class on time. 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.320 So I thought, hey, scooter, that could work. But I 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.280 kind of know most of people in my grade because 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.159 I was, like, I think it was like something in 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.200 the top ten, so like I was known through extracurriculation 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:50.399 other means to that. But I never really I mean, 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.680 I got called the scooter boy everywhere, but I don't 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.080 think I was locked to that per se. I think 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.040 I did a good job doing other stuff to not 0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.240 just be the scooter boy. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.119 By the way, I want you to know, if I 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.280
