In this raw and unflinching episode, Dizzy Drew and Dwoz pull back the curtain on the pornography industry and what really happens when the cameras stop rolling. Far from their usual goofy tangents, the guys get serious (while still being their crude selves) as they unpack the full lifecycle of porn—from ancient smut to the infinite free tubes of today.
The conversation traces pornography’s long history, how technology turned it from brown-paper-bag shame into a 24/7 smartphone habit, and the devastating toll it takes on the people who make it. They dig into the mental-health crisis gripping performers, shockingly short average lifespans driven by suicide and substance abuse, and the brutal reality that most who enter the industry end up regretting it. Personal stories of broken lives, shattered relationships, and the near-impossible road to “normal” life after porn hit hard.
Highlights include:
- The way the internet demolished every barrier and flooded the world with content
- How young performers get lured in with quick money and empty promises
- The staggering statistics on drug use, depression, and early deaths in the industry
- The lingering stigma that follows even the few who escape to mainstream success
- Tales of famous faces who crossed over but can never fully outrun their past
- The total lack of support systems for anyone trying to leave the business behind
Sprinkled with the hosts’ signature dark humor and a few eye-opening soundbites (“85% of porn stars have issues with drugs,” “A lot of them turn to drugs and alcohol,” “It’s a major decision to turn to porn”), this episode is equal parts eye-opening exposé and gut-punch cautionary tale. If you thought porn was a victimless industry, this one might change your mind. Listener discretion very much advised.
