Dead Girls Academy

What's up with that buddy? So you were in Vampires Everywhere, right? And then it did it morph into Dead Girls Academy? Was it a name change or was it just a whole change? It was an entire change. Yeah. Yeah. I was on actually it was on Warped Tour I think 16 with Ronnie. Yep. Radgute, Blonde Reverse guy. We were roommates and a couple of their management and a couple people at Warped Tour approached me and said, hey man, probably should start something fresh. You know everybody and you have a cool thing going on. Yeah, totally. And

it was devastating to hear that, but I thought, you know what? Might as well try something new. And that's what led to it. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. And you guys just dropped a new song, doves in glass house. Actually you dropped a couple, right? Yeah. We dropped a couple. Um, so the album is doves in glass house. Okay. And the recent thing we dropped things,

My song. We dropped it inside out and we had Jinx from Black Belt Brides on it. Which is crushing it in the numbers, right? It does really great. I'm so excited for you. Especially during the pandemic, which is a weird time. You know what? I feel like people, more people are just absorbing music and content during the pandemic. My husband and I,

put out so much content this last year and our numbers fucking skyrocketed. The podcast literally got over 500,000 downloads. That's amazing. That's downloads. Thank you. And that's like insane. So I feel like people, this is the time to drop all this shit, you know? It is. So let's go back. When did you like come out of the womb singing? Like, was that your thing or was it just taught? Was music always in your family? No, absolutely not. No. Yeah. My, uh, my mom, my dad were against, uh,

um, me going in that direction. Um, even from, you know, I lived in Florida for a while. They were against me surfing. They were against me skateboarding. Was it a religious family? Not at all. No. Uh, they were just like, yo, if you go down this direction, we've seen it before and it'll just get worse. And they were right. Um, my, uh, my blood father, um, I think he turned out pretty good though. Well, you said it, uh, my blood father played bass. Right. Um, so I ended up playing bass first. Oh,

- Oh, my dad plays bass. - Really? - I love that, yeah. - It's the instrument you can play to be in a band if you're not that talented. - Well, my dad's a guitar player. He went from playing lead guitar to bass. - Oh, well that's completely different. - Yeah, hence my thing with musicians. - Oh, for real, that's why. - Daddy issues. - Yeah, well, bass was easy for me. So I picked that up and I had a lot of bands with bass.

And I got really sick of dealing with the egotistical lead singer. Yes. And so I became one instead. Right? Yeah. You're like, this is right up my alley. Exactly. Yeah. I love it though. I don't think you're too, that egotistical though. No, I'm not. I just want to say that. I think you're like, I think you're super smart in like just the way you present yourself. I was watching actually one of your videos the other day where you were talking about trolls online. And I thought it was so endearing because a lot of people that have your following and that are in your, um,

Like I don't, I'm not going to name names, but most people will go online and fight with trolls. And you were just pretty much like giving advice like, Hey man, don't do this. Like don't let it affect you. Does the trolling ever affect you? Not anymore. Yeah. Um, when I was in vampires everywhere, I got my full share of that with, um, is anyone up? And, uh,

I was in the news. Oh my God. Holy shit. Was your, was your little, your, your jiggly bits on there? Actually, I wish that was the case. Then I would have been, then I would have been more revered, but no, my tour manager was best friends with Hunter at the time. So I had a free pass.

When they got into an argument, that's when I got put up there. Oh, shit. But I was in the press a lot for a lot of weird stuff. The makeup thing wasn't a big thing back then. Right. And it was just me and Motionless and White. Right. He's my hall pass, by the way. So you got to put in a good word for me. Chris? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Totally. Chris is, well, he's sober too. You guys can relate on that. Good.

There we go. See, we'll just have a sober sex party. That's all I want to do. That's all you need to do. Yeah, that's all I want. I think you'd be good with that. I think you'd be good with that. That'd be so cool. Okay, so real quick, let's rewind back to the trolling. So when you were talking about this, you said that, you know, people come against you all the time. How do you make it not affect you? Because I get trolled every fucking day too because I'm literally, I got my butthole on the internet. So,

So I literally get trolled all the time and it, it, sometimes it's like, what the fuck? You know, it's like, dude, leave me the fuck alone. And then other days I'm just like, you know what? This is cool. Whatever. This, this, obviously I made it, you know, it's hard. Um, Rob zombie said it best. He said, if, you know, if you're not hated, you haven't achieved success. Right. Um, I've always lived by that. And, um,

I use that, you know, at the end of the day, I mean, I've been hurt by some of my, my best friends, you know, and you learn a lot, you know, going through, I mean, especially the industry. Absolutely. The music industry is so shady. It's absolutely insane. I see what my husband goes through and he's not even in the rock industry. He's on the other side of it. It's still hard on that side of it.

the shit. It's crazy. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. You just get, you gotta, you gotta take it with a grain of salt. Um, it took me a long time, but it's learning your self worth. What are you worth and what are you about? And if you know that it's a lot easier to take the hate. Yes. You know, I, I haven't received a lot of hate since I started dead girls Academy. And honestly, cause you guys are fucking rad. I appreciate that, but it actually hurt my ego.

Oh, cause I was like, man, am I not being successful? You know what I mean? Like, so we've started to get a little bit more hate as I'm more vocal. So I would say to you, I mean, you're killing it. So keep killing it. And without the hate, you know, you're not really making it. Right. Gotcha. Let's go back to your childhood. So parents were against it. You started playing bass, all that jazz. What was your first band? When did you decide that you were going to put a band together and what was your first band? Yeah.

I always love to hear first band names. Used goods. No way. Yeah, it was called used goods. It's like my vagina. No, I'm just kidding. Totally kidding. Well, they have surgeries for that now. I've already had it. Yeah. That's funny. My God. What are you saying?

This took a turn for the worse. Okay, so Used Cuts was your first band name. Okay, and what kind of music did you guys do? Was this in your parents' garage? It was close to it. It was pop punk. Okay. I was obsessed with Green Day, MXPX, you know, Noah Fax, Propaganda. Sorry, I'm still laughing at the last. Yeah, yeah. It's, you know, not as damaged as a used pussy, but it was... Sorry. A used pussy actually probably sounded better, to be honest with you.

Your reaction is what cracked me up. Okay. So, cause I'm, I literally say shit that I'm just totally joking around about. Okay. All right. So it was pop punk. So kind of like, who could we compare that to? Like mayday parade? Oh God, no. Um, no, that was older emo music. So we were, we were,

Real pop punk. Okay, gotcha. Like we were like Noah Fax. Oh, okay, okay, okay. You know, you call Noah Fax pop punk. Right. I mean, to me they are. You know, early Blink-182. Okay, gotcha. And then it just kind of morphed from there. You just started touring or how did that come about? I actually met a guy named Richard from Drive Thru Records and he kind of mentored me. Are you signed right now?

I currently am. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, Richard mentored me pretty much my whole life. Um, and he owned drive through and he had all those bands like newfound glory and Finch and, um, he took me on a very weird ride. Um, I used to have to crack his back. Sorry, Richard, if you hear this, I used to have to crack his back and he flew me around places, you know, and,

So I kind of learned the industry through this man and how, you know, because I was obsessed with the label and he showed me what to do. But I mean, it sent me on a roller coaster ride of starting one million bands after that. Right. So, okay. So when you say it took you on a ride of starting one million bands, was that just to find your sound or was it because you and your bandmates couldn't get along or? It's got to be hard. It is. It's always hard. Yeah. I mean, you're dealing with other people.

And men and egos. And, you know, so everybody wants to be an alpha until it's time to do alpha shit. Exactly. Well, the new age way of doing it, you mentioned made a parade. I mean, I wish I started at that point because that would have been a more, uh,

Cohesive idea right put that together you could put it on certain platforms and people right Oh, I hear that but when I started there wasn't you know, there was still Napster that came out I was on mp3.com Totally yeah, so I'm wiring shit But the reason for the change of bands is that I was trying to please this label owner for very long time give me advice and

And, um, do you find when you're signed with a label or you have a label involved, do you find that they control your persona way more? Like you're not as free. You can't be as free.

Do you mean now or then? Then and now. Then I would say that would be more prevalent. Right. Now, no. Now you're like a fucking OG gangster. Well, besides myself, I mean, more labels are more concerned with, hey, you've got a following. Do you sell records? Right. They don't want to change something that's already working. Right. If it's working. And I think a good example of that would be like, why did MGK go pop punk? Right.

Right. Because I'm sure Interscope and Bad Boy sat there going, hmm. I think it was a good turn for him, though. I think it was an excellent turn for him. He literally had like the fucking soundtrack of the summer with Bloody Valentine, I believe. He really did. Didn't hurt having Megan Fox in it. Dude. Yeah. I would love some Megan Fox. I would have loved some Megan Fox until I saw that go down. Oh, no. So now she's like, so she's used goods now.

She is used. There we go. We can totally do that. Brian Austin Green. I grew up watching 90210. I was like, you've got to pass. First of all, how the fuck did Brian Austin Green pull that? Like, I want to know what kind of issues she has, daddy and mommy issues, to fucking have hooked up with and had three kids with Brian Austin Green. Well, she probably grew up watching 90210 as well. And they were at the Peach Pit. And you know what I'm saying? So, yeah. He got all up in her Peach Pit, you know? Yeah.

Indeed. Yeah. Okay. So let's, so what was the first tour that you got, that you went on? Ever? Yeah. Ever. I was in a U-Haul cargo. Yeah. I was in the back of it. Yeah.

- Oh God. - Yeah, it was crazy. - Sounds comfortable. - It was crazy. - I've actually, I've done about, fuck, 10 to 13 tours with my husband and we started out with the U-Haul van. - You had the U-Haul. - The U-Haul van. - You had the cargo U-Haul with nothing in the back? - The cargo van, yes. - You had a van? - Yes, the one with all the windows. - So we weren't in that. We were in the moving truck. - Oh shit, are you serious? - Yeah, we were absolutely sure how to do those things back then. - Oh my God. - So two people up front, the rest in the back sitting on benches. - Just sliding around. - Yeah.

Oh my God. You just put on roller skates and make a video back there. We could have roller skated as well to California would have been probably more pleasant. That is crazy. So did you guys open up for somebody or was it, it was just you guys? It was just us back then. It wasn't like that.

that. Okay. So touring's changed. Florida scene had like Poison the Well and those kind of bands like going through there and we were like okay so we got to escape this Newfound Glory stuff and go all the way to California and try to test ourselves there. Right. So we booked our own little way and we you

You know, we booked all the shows. I mean, I booked all the shows. Right, right. So you guys didn't have a tour manager or anything like that. You were pretty much the tour manager. No, that didn't exist then. Dude, that's crazy. I didn't find out about tour manager until I got signed to Century Media. I was just about to say. So when, what was the first record label that you ended up getting signed with?

I will say besides the one dude who's back besides being put into bands on different record labels I would say that it would be Century Media would be the singer version of me right that got signed I guess we can start from there okay now would be Century Media so you've had like a whole fucking journey in this industry yeah it's you're well versed though yeah yeah yeah that's crazy okay so when you when was the time that you actually like looked out in the crowd and you were like dude I'm actually doing something with this music

Interesting. That would be... I thought it was the Black Veil Brides tour with Hot Topic when I looked out there, but it was actually with a band called Xtrapan. Okay. Have you heard of them? No. Yeah, me too, but I said the time. We were recording with Fred Archambault, who was with the band Sevenfold at the time, and we were in his garage where he recorded. Right. And we got this tour then, and I told him, I was like, what is...

what is that for Japan? Why is everyone so excited at the label? And it turns out it's one of the biggest bands in Japan that's ever been. For some reason, Japan's fucking music scene is insane. It's insane. Like fucking, what is that called? Their band called BTS or something that they're like fucking huge. And these dudes look like little boys and it's. Yeah. Visual, it's visual. You, it has, it has this whole visual aspect to it. So they, you know, um,

I'm happy for them that they made it because what they go through over there in Japan is bananas. But this extra pan van was like Motley Crue. Oh, okay. Gotcha. I could not imagine fucking Asian rockers like that. Can you imagine the Japanese Motley Crue? Neither could I because that's what that was. They had sushi chefs on tour. They had five different buses. Must be fucking nice. They had his own MasterCard.

And on the MasterCard was his face in Hello Kitty. He was the only person ever sponsored by Sarno, which I think I'm saying, right? Sario, which is. Oh, okay. Sanrio. Sanrio. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So didn't know that. So we looked out to about 10,000 people at the, in New York. Yeah. I think it was a Roseland ballroom. Yeah. And I was like, oh, okay. And we sucked.

Oh, no. That's the worst. Yeah, yeah. I tried to be... I mean, I was so hammered at the time. I thought I might have been good. Yeah. But I was not good. Do you perform drunk all the time? My husband does. He drinks two bottles of fucking tequila while he's on stage every time. Terramana. Sorry, The Rock. We got to shout out The Rock. That's cool. Yeah, fucking... He'll drink two bottles. Do you find that you perform better when you're drunk now? Drunk? Yeah. Would be...

a little too much for me. Yeah. I think I'm more really, really, really good looking. No, I'm really buzzed. I'm really buzzed. Yeah. I'm buzzed enough to remember where everything goes. Right. If I was, I've done drunk before on Warped Tour 12. I used to take a bottle of Honey Jack. Yeah. And drink it on. It got to the point where I started bringing it because I was like, can't live without it. Yeah. But I was screaming then. This is my mouthwash.

Yeah. But when you're doing melodic shit, you have to remember where you're sitting. And yeah, because your vocal cords get so loose when you're drunk too. Oh, it's, it's for me being, having that alcohol in you is, is,

It's fantastic. Yeah, you like it. So where do your parents stand with this now? Are they proud of you or are they still pissed off? Well, both my fathers are dead, unfortunately. Oh, okay. So you were raised by two guys? That'd be kind of crazy. That's so... But that didn't happen. Oh, okay. I thought you said both my fathers are dead. My story got way better for a minute. I'm just like... I was like, holy shit, I didn't know this. You're like, oh man, he's more interesting. No, no, no, no. My blood father...

It was out of my life. Okay. Gotcha. New York guy. And then my stepfather came in, but they're both gone now. Okay. Gotcha. My mother basically raised me. Yeah. Awesome. She's in Florida. She's the only one in my family basically alive. Oh, okay. I have some stepsisters in New Jersey. Yeah. Like some New Jersey shore type stuff. Yeah. They're really cool. Awesome. Snookies and shit running around little meatballs. Honestly, it's pretty much.

Pretty much that much. Yeah. But is she proud of you now, though? My mom? Yeah. Like, at first, she was probably a little worried. Now, seeing how you've turned out, no, he's like, kind of. It's interesting how that works. You know, you're always promising something. Yeah. You're always wanting to achieve more. Yeah. And at the end of the day, you want to take care of your mother. You want to take care of your family. Yeah. But the music industry is...

- Crazy. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? Like some of my friends that will remain nameless obviously faked it till they made it and when they did make it, made it, make it. - Make it.

It was a different situation. I actually saw how that kind of affected them. And I was like, wow. Oh, money changes people. It does. It really does. Well, it's some of them in a good way because I've been around them when they were trying to fake it. Yeah. And they were a lot more aggressive. And you were wondering why. Right. Well, because it was the insecurity. Sure. Yeah. But you don't, you know, looking back and transcending your body on it, you're like, wow, I didn't see that.

Yeah, for sure. But now that I'm looking at you now, I'm like, okay. Yeah. Gotcha. But I would like to transcend and, and really I'm still breaking my band. Yeah. You know, it's like, um, you mentioned the label. Yeah. Okay. Um, so I became really good friends with Tony Brummel who runs victory records. Okay. Tony sold his label for over $30 million. Mm hmm.

It's a lot of money. Yeah, it's a lot. And he wanted to start another label. Right. And he wanted to sign Dead Girls Academy yet again. Yay. That's somebody that believes in you. Yeah, he became a friend. But he's still a startup. Right. And our band has been around for like two or something years and we're still trying to...

as well. Right. You know, vampires ever had its moment and people know me from that. Yeah. And now it's just like, okay, this is a new thing. We're still going to break through. I think the way that you're marketing yourself though and how interactive you are with your fans, that's, that gives you a leg up because a lot of guys in your, in your genre don't do that.

A lot of people don't reach out. Yeah. They don't, you know, reach out to their fans. They don't respond to comments. They don't, you know, repost their, their fans in the story. So I think that that was a huge part of what, how I grew was literally fucking just brick by brick. You have to engage. Sure. So I think you doing that is awesome. I've been getting a lot of feedback on that. Yeah. You mentioned the suicide stuff and then the bullying stuff. Like, um,

I would get people like well-respected metal bands, which I really don't get a lot of respecting me. Um, being like, dude, that was cool. Yeah. You know, and I have some of them, I'm making an EP coming out and have some of them on it now. Yeah. And it was, um, it was a defining moment for me doing that kind of stuff. Cause to be clear, like I,

I am an extrovert, but at heart an introvert. So when people like a fan comes over and buys merch for me at a table, I still don't know what the hell to do with myself. Yeah, no, no. I always say I'm an introverted extrovert because it's different when you have people come up to you and they're like buying your stuff. They're freaking out over you. They know every lyrics to your words, to your songs and stuff like that. So it's like, it's different. It's a different vibe. When you write, where does your inspiration come from?

Sorry, Maxine. Besides this hot little piece of ass that's sitting on the couch over here. Well, she's responsible for Inside Out. I wrote Inside Out about her. She's in the video, right? Or no? She's literally in almost every Dead Girls Academy video. I think you are in every Dead Girls Academy video, right? Besides, I'll find a way. Yay. Yeah. She's in all of them. I had a crazy ex. Yeah. Yeah.

I hate those. Oh, man. Industry person as well. Oh, no. Yeah. And she... Well, my dad was dying of leukemia. Oh, my gosh. She smiled to her friend about it. The way the breakup went... That's fucking heartless. Well, she ended up...

You know, getting my ex guitar player in her band and then dating him. That was my best friend, by the way. That was fun. She sounds like a real gem. She's fun. She sounds like a sweetheart. Oh, she's fantastic. Too bad we can't name drop. Oh, man. Oh, my God. Okay. I think I know who you're talking about. I think. Are we allowed to talk about this? Is she? She just did a song with Tommy Vex, didn't she? She did. Okay. I know exactly who that is. All right. Yeah, that's her. Crazy. Yeah. What a fucking small world. Yeah. Very small.

Um, I don't mind saying it. Yeah. Very small. I don't mind saying it. Um, yeah. I mean, she hurt you obviously. Fucking that's what, that's terrible. If your family member is in the hospital dying, my husband's father died from leukemia and it was a painful, slow, terrible death. And for her to even think that that was cool is disgusting. That was, that was a big thing for me because her father died of the same. Wow. And so, um, I remember that like it was clockwork and,

You know, she, she wrote me in a way where I was, I didn't understand it. Right. But I held onto it and it's absolutely great writing material. Yeah, totally. I mean, so, so you would say that some of your inspiration comes from new, beautiful love and then some of your inspiration comes from pain from where you were hurt. Anything that has to, well, to be honest, I don't really write happy songs. Right. But, but,

Right. Right. Yes.

So, you know, I even brought my hand wipes here. That's me and my husband. I'm severely OCD and he is pig pen from fucking Charlie Brown. And I'm just like, dude, what the fuck? Yeah. So I get that. That dynamic is crazy. Yeah. But it works. It does work. Well, it takes some work. Right. A lot of work. We've been together five years and I still, it still drives me crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I drive her crazy. Yeah. So let's talk about you guys. So how did you and Maxine meet? Do you want to come over here? You little hot piece of ass. Everybody needs to come and see you. She is so beautiful. I mean, she is just striking. They're, they're true rock stars over here. Cause they brought their, they BYO beat and they're already fucking turning up. And I love this. So how did you guys meet? Um,

Well, 2015. Somewhere around there. Yeah, yeah. You slipped into my DMs. Oh, 2015. Yeah, 2015. Look at this. Yeah. And I think he's... He's got long game. Yes. Well, he does actually have a long game because he messaged me and he said, hey, you're beautiful. Oh. That was the start. And then we were chatting for a while. Yeah. And then like the sensible part of my brain was like...

LA, Scotland. I think I'll just leave this alone. Right. Plus, I had a friend who, I won't say her name, and...

She came up to me. I was showing her pictures of him and I was going oh my goodness. Look at this hot goth guy. He's messaging me. Wow. He's a cool ass too. For sure. You guys are hot together. You look good. Yeah. I love it. The better Megan Fox. I love it. Totally. Thank you. Just blows Megan Fox out of the water. And she was like no. I've been talking to him. He's mine. And I was like Well you gotta say her voice. Who the fuck is that? Say her voice. It's like Oliver Twist. You have to do it. She's from London. She's like no. He's mine. Look at that. Right.

it's creepy so i was just like okay respect don't leave that alone and i did isn't that weird how girls are so territorial over there someone who she had to never met in real life they had spoke for a little while and she was like no he's mine but i respected it because because that's what girls do yeah yeah that's a good girl well yeah i think so and um i got in a relationship with someone else for a full year and then at the end of that we started talking again

And then next thing you know, I'm in LA. And here we are. That's it. And now you're on the Dumb Blonde Podcast. And it's kind of crazy because it's right after we met. Oh, okay. She was at the penthouse over there in the plot zone. Very cool. That was good times over there. It was a good time.

Wild times over there from what I remember. So you guys have been talking since, fuck, at least 20, that's 2016, 2015. We've been dating since 2016. Aw, I love that. Yeah, it was right after that moment. So I love asking other girls this because I'm with a musician. What's it like being with a musician?

Is it hard for you? You have to have a certain type of self-esteem. Absolutely. You need to be able to take it because girls are going to love them. Yes. And what I've learned is... And you have to let them love them. Sorry? I said you have to let them love them because it's literally part of their whole vibe. Yes, yeah. And what I've noticed is, especially American girls, it seems they're very aggressive girls.

Yes. With the men that they like. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I've never really dealt with that before. So that's been very new for me. Yeah, totally. And you just kind of have to be like, I'm the one he's with. I'm the one he comes home to. So just...

Yeah. And they'll get used to you over time too. Uh, it took a long time for Jay's following to accept me. And then it also took a long time for my following to accept Jay, you know, but when they see a united front and you guys actually like standing together and just getting through life together, it's,

they have no choice but to respect it. Sure. Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about some only fans. Cause I know you guys want to watch them. Fuck. So I know. Okay. So maybe he may or may not be on only fans. We don't know about that, but we know for sure you have an only fans. I do. I'm new to it. I'm still new. I'm still, I'm still working out what I need to do. And, and, and,

what I'm comfortable with. I'm still figuring it out. Absolutely. But listen, when you say that you're new, every men love that. They love newbies because they can, you know, it's like, I don't know. That's, it's their thing. It's a sick thing that men have, but you knowing that you're new on the platform, they'll absolutely love that. So that's good. Um, and you can, and you can, you can do whatever you want on there. People just want to engage with you. It's like, I was telling my last interview that was just here a second ago. They're not poor.

per se they're paying for your content, but they're really paying for your time and just to talk to you and see you and him, of course, together. So why don't you shout out your OnlyFans so people can find it? Oh, so I'm Maxine666.

You guys are going to have to go over there and check it out. Let's just shoot back over here to you. So your album you just dropped. Let's talk about that and let's plug that for sure. Well...

I just dropped an album called Doves in Glass Houses. It's out on Mission 2 Entertainment. Absolutely. And I think it's three months old now, and we dropped it during the pandemic. It was a very bold move. Yeah. So you can head over to everything that involves music and just put that in the search engine. Absolutely. Just Doves in Glass Houses. Doves in Glass Houses. Yeah.

Awesome. And you guys were having some problem with censorship on YouTube. Oh, yes. Dude, I got so much flack for moving my podcast over to fucking... For moving it over to Patreon because YouTube was fucking...

censoring ever. I can like, cause I couldn't talk about like I had girls come on that were talking about being raped and stuff like that. They would censor me when they're trying to tell their story. So you guys shot a super hot video. I watched it. I was like, this is hot. And I think you're the one that's in the video, right? I was like, who is this bitch? And this is before I knew that she was with you. I was like, I watched it like a few months ago. I was like, this chick is so fucking hot and come to

find out. Um, so it was the whole theme of the video is like vampires and like, it's all hot chicks just all over the bed. Um,

Of course. He said, of course. It was very interesting how this went down. My friend Scott Hanson, I've known him for years. He shot my videos. Actually, since Love Shred, another pop-up band I played bass in. And he came out and we were like, okay, I had some really beautiful girls in the video. Yeah, really hot. And he's like, so what are we doing here in the house? I was like, I guess they could be a laundry.

And so we put them in lingerie. And at the end of the day, I didn't think it would be that crude. Provocative or whatever. Sure, sure. And Tony owns the label. He's like, man, you know, I've seen some fucked up videos. But this looks PG-13 to me. Absolutely. But YouTube...

not YouTube, but Google itself, would not allow it at all. Even third party markets for advertising said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what's going on." But yet you have people like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. - Right, just twerking their asses off. - Well, well beyond that in some of their videos, right? It's all gravy. Post Malone can cut off heads as a samurai. Let's be clear. - They pick and choose who they want to fuck with. - Well, labels have deals.

with these industries. - Gotcha. - Now Spotify also gave some of their rights away to major record labels because that's a big deal. And the same acquired for videos. So when you wanna do something very extravagant or very racy, if you will,

if you're not part of that conglomerate right welcome i never knew that that makes so much sense because uh my husband dropped a song called suicide that he had written about us and when we did the video they made us change the title sure and there's like so many songs on youtube on youtube that are labeled suicide and it's like that drop

It dropped, when did Suicide drop? May, June of last, of this year? Last year, last year, 2019. Oh, last year. Okay, it was still last year. Yeah. Here, the platform was a little bit more...

politically if they say correct yeah um with everything they're monitoring now yeah way more than before oh dude instagram i can't even post fucking barely naked pictures anymore i have to that's why i'm like fully clothed on there and like post only fucking once a week now because literally they change their terms of service they're deleting verified accounts really oh yeah it just because you have a blue check doesn't mean you're safe yeah i thought those were like

The verified accounts. No, we thought so too. Dude, Little Duval, one of the rappers just got his account deleted. Trisha Paytas had her fucking account deleted. Yes, I saw that.

Can't get it back. Like it's crazy. So yeah, you guys be really careful on only, uh, not on only go wild on only fans. You guys be really careful on Instagram. So why don't you tell people where they can find you and, um, like all your social medias. Sure. Uh, you can find me at the real Michael vampire because some other fan took Michael vampire. Appreciate that. And, Oh, it's interesting. Um,

As well as Dead Girls Academy. I mean, just look me up at Dead Girls Academy. Yes, totally. And Maxine, you want to plug yourself besides the OnlyFans? So I'm only really on Instagram. So it's the exorcism of Maxine. Yay, I love that. That's awesome. You guys are like perfect for each other. Thank you guys for listening to another episode of Dumb Blonde and watching. I'm fucking, I can't think. Thank you guys for watching. I will see you guys next week. Bye.
