Sorry For Asking with Adam Ramzi and Cole Connor

All hail our first ever returning guest performer: this week the boys are joined again by Drew Valentino! Drew visits Adam and Cole this time to discuss what a difference two years make in the gay adult content industry, since the last time he was on the podcast. No longer an exclusive with the Falcon group, and seemingly less interested in making content, Drew goes in depth about what’s changed in the industry since he first joined as a wide eyed and bushy tailed performer, collecting awards and cornering the market as a scruffy, tatted, pit-loving adult film star. He shares a bit about what has led to his decision to leave Los Angeles and give an imminent move to Madrid a try for a while, leaving behind his passion for standup comedy and building a new presence in the adult film industry while also channeling his comedy into a beefed up social media presence. He also gets deep about what (or who) he will be missing most in Los Angeles, giving way to a heartfelt discussion about a very alternative relationship that can develop among the backdrop of content creation. We will miss you, Drew, but can’t wait to see you conquer Spain!

Lots of stories to tell today, folks. Adam and Cole get together for a catch up after Cole’s exciting time in Chicago for the yearly Market Days summer festival. They then take turns telling some stories, including a fun birthday pool party that led to some mischief, on as well as offline, leading to a run in with an influencer who has joined the content creation world. This leads to Adam’s observation of Cole as a "sex witch," giving way to a very funny discussion about general game play in the queer social space. What is the difference between being aggressive and assertive? What works and what doesn’t for certain men, and how do we politely turn down eager advances that are unsuccessful? What is a ‘power play?’ Find out in this hilarious episode, sorry!

We’ve got daddy fever again this week, and this time it’s because Adam and Cole are paid a visit by none other than one of the most prolific, hardworking, and evolved elders of the gay adult industry of our time, Mr Adam Russo! Adam tells stories of what it was like coming into his young gay adulthood in the 80s, during the rise and eventual height of the AIDS crisis, despite having rather supportive parents for the time. This led to a reserved sex life for a while, before he experienced his blossoming while moving across many locations in the country as he embarked on a career in art and design, before leading to his decision after age 40 to try his hand at being an escort and using adult films as his calling card to get him more work. But, as Adam states, all roads lead to where you’re meant to go, and as he steadily gained popularity, and notable longevity, as a star in the biz, he was called to being a “light worker,” leading him to his next path, which is to contribute to the collective evolution of the human race by elevating our joint spiritual consciousness. We go deep with this daddy, and it’s one heck of a ride. Love and light to you, Spirit Daddy!

Welcome back, listeners, and happy summer! Today, Adam and Cole are paid a visit in the studio by their dear friend, Brogan! The boys have a very fun chat about Brogan’s rise in the industry, starting as a young man in Minnesota undergoing a very unconventional bout with conversion therapy. Obviously, it didn’t work as intended, and Brogan found himself in New York meeting drag queens and becoming a sexy fixture of NYC nightlife as well as a formidable social media presence before delving into content creation of his own. At the beginning of the pandemic era, he pivoted and moved to LA, accepting studio scenes, collaborating with other creators, and cementing himself as a gay adult brand. Despite the scheduling and delivery of content, deep down we are all just bros who want to bake cakes and play with Legos. Brogan is a perfect, smiley encapsulation of this, and this conversation is a hilarious reflection of the man behind the bro!

As promised, Adam and Cole are here to deliver a follow up to the previous episode, The Taboo Twirl, to speak a little more seriously and directly on some subjects, specifically after the news broke about charges brought last month against prominent gay adult film star, Austin Wolf. They address some concerns and comments brought forth by friends, fellow creators, and listeners of the podcast after the airing of Part One, namely the fact that much of the adult content we consume is foundationally rooted in “taboo.” What is it about these scenarios that is enticing to consumers? What blurs the line between fantasy and reality? Do we have personal biases that affect how we perceive some of these scenarios? It’s a discussion that can fill many more episodes, but the boys discuss plenty to tie in all the loose ends from the previous episode with the current discussions surrounding these recent controversies.

Summer is underway folks, and Adam and Cole are feeling the heat in all kinds of ways. First off, the boys recap their first time shooting together for a studio scene in Palm Springs, where they got to flex their professional muscles together. Then Adam shares his summer bucket list of performers to shoot with, leading to a discussion about some of the ins and outs of creating adult content. Finally, the boys have an open-ended conversation about some recent trends in the world of gay adult films that skew on the taboo side of things. We’d like to express that this particular episode was recorded before the big news broke out about recent charges held against a certain very prominent figure in the industry, who is named in this episode regarding other similar topics. Give this one a listen, and stay tuned for part 2 in a couple of weeks, where the boys will weigh in some more.

Dear listeners, get your ears prepped because we’ve got Sir Peter calling in to talk to Adam and Cole, all the way from Madrid! He stayed up late just to hop on Zoom in his boxers and share with us his quick rise to gay adult star status. Growing up in Portugal, working for years as a flight attendant, and then landing eventually in Madrid, Sir Peter pitched himself to Tim Kruger of TimTales, convincing him that he had the goods to stand alongside the industry great. But as soon as his first scene released, the pandemic hit and he had to rely on his own content to make a splash in the scene. It worked though, and now Sir Peter is a Grabby award-winning Daddy and a Naked Sword Exclusive - a rare feat for a European performer to achieve from across the pond. He also tells us of his unique vision and entrepreneurial endeavors in the industry, with a dedicated website, toys, and even a graphic novel that depicts the exploits of our dear Sir Peter. Say yes, you’ll be swooning just as we were!

Happy pride month, folks! This time our guest is an exciting combination of many things, for example, a native Californian visiting all the way from Berlin! Adam and Cole welcome tatted muscle stud Troy Daniels to the studio, who shares his lengthy path to current status as a queer adult icon. Troy came out at 14 in 1990s Los Angeles, moved to San Francisco where he dabbled in studio work as well as in drag before relocating to Berlin. The boys ask questions about his journey, his very specific style of performance, and how he chooses collaborators in order to capture connected, energetic, and explosively sexy content on camera. They also discuss the days of condom porn, how things have changed since, and how transitioning to making his own content has allowed him to travel more to shoot with beautiful men across the world in just the last few years. We love Troy, and you will too!

We are gearing up for pride season, and Cole and Adam get together in this catch-up episode to banter about the many goings on in their lives currently, as well as recent and upcoming happenings, in just the adorable way they always do. Cole discusses recent shoots in Florida, Adam talks about the ethics of canceling shoots, and the boys bashfully bring up their first-ever upcoming one-on-one scene! Also, Adam shares some fantasies he’d like to fulfill with a recent beau, as well as some outdoor fun he had during a camping trip, despite some hardships due to a recent surgery, which ties into our last episode with Dr. Gonzalez. Before wrapping up with Cole's latest scene that crosses some taboo lines, the boys give us their first shot at improv to describe a current trend in European content they find slightly questionable. It’s a hilarious and rather honest conversation between industry besties, sorry not sorry!

We know sequels can be hard, but with a guest like the Dick Doctor, we are pretty sure we pulled it off. You may remember last season, when urologist, sexual health specialist, and purveyor of the Popstar sexual health supplement, Dr Joshua Gonzalez joined us to discuss all things in regards to penile health. This time he returns to talk about another one of his specialties - male hormonal optimization! The science of testosterone replacement therapy has become way more popular in recent years among discussions of health and wellness for men, but there are a host of details and nuances that often get missed among the community. What even are steroids? Who is TRT right for? What kind of side effects can happen when we mess with our hormones? Dr Gonzalez gives Adam and Cole a few lessons on how it all works and what he can do to help us as we age and our systems change. Broaching the subject of what’s happening in our pants again, he also shares a new offering in his sexual health office called Shockwave Therapy, which Adam and Cole are both enjoying the benefits of. Take notes folks, our internal systems are even more complicated than our dating habits.
