Exploring 'Operator': Phone sex industry insights
00:02:15
Speaker
today. Follow my work from home warriors out there. This is definitely three of them that'll keep your ears entertained. So the first one that I'm talking about is a podcast called Operator. Okay, now this one,
00:02:49
Speaker
caught my surprise
00:02:59
Speaker
It says Mike Paradis, hopefully I'm reading that correctly, has already had a colorful career before he ever hears about pay per call phone sex.
00:03:12
Speaker
He's been on all sides of the transaction. So it makes sense that he would be the one. Okay. First of all, to bring sexual fantasies to millions of landlines. Okay. He's a CEO. I was like, okay, we got to go back to read what the hell this podcast is even about. It says with one phone call from a lawyer, American tail net was born. Okay. So that was the first name of the.
00:03:34
Speaker
pay per call, phone sex. Now this has made this industry billions, billions, billions. I mean, when I was a kid, you would see like late night, you know, I was always standing up. Just numbers, dial this number to talk. I think this is a huge phenomenon. Awesome that we get to hear the actual story about it. I'm gonna read what this podcast is about. It says, during the 1-900 number craze of the 90s. Okay.
00:04:00
Speaker
One company provided the vast majority of phone sex. American Tail Net was the empire founded by the man who called himself the telephone pimp. Y'all this makes me so happy to cover this podcast. It says he ran the company like the General Motors. I mean like General Motors and got filthy rich doing it. Why would they use the word filthy in there? I see what they did.
00:04:26
Speaker
But for the mostly women who answered the calls and delivered the fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn,
00:04:44
Speaker
Why are people into that question mark okay she's on another show operator is an eight part series about big ambitions Shakespearean level corporate backstabbing men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution.
00:04:59
Speaker
And on the front lines of a sexual one, listen to new episodes two weeks early and all the episodes ad free with Wonder Plus. All right, of course they're trying to sell you there at the end. But how awesome, right? Like we get to hear about this gold rush of phone sex from the telephone pimp. All right, I want to hear about this just because it was a huge business.
00:05:25
Speaker
I wanna know how much money they made. I wanna know how they did it. This sounds amazing. So check out Operator. Episode one is entitled, Push One Now. And it was just actually published November 8th, about 37 minutes again. So check that one out. Episode link is in the show notes.
Finding joy through pain in 'How to Build a Happy Life'
00:05:45
Speaker
The next podcast that I will be covering, well covering, I'll be listening to today, tuning into myself.
00:05:52
Speaker

00:06:12
Speaker
so I just got into some group grief counseling so I'm trying to listen to more podcasts that'll help me swing my mental mood again for those who are just tuning in I'm grieving the loss of my aunt so listening to some podcasts actually helped me during the day to bring me some happiness give me some joy let's read this episode description
00:06:33
Speaker
As we wind down this series, a paradox remains in our pursuit of happiness. Joy comes to those who have known pain. In order to overcome struggle, breakups, illness, even death, we must first accept and acknowledge its inevitability.
00:06:50
Speaker
Exploring the darkness of our suffering may seem counterintuitive, but often it's the only way to see the light. I believe in shadow work. I believe in digging deep into the places that hurt to help heal the entire situation. So I'll be checking this one out. Listen in on how to build a happy life. And the episode is entitled, How to Live When You're in Pain.
True crime spotlight: 'Rotten' podcast discussion
00:07:14
Speaker
The last episode that I'll be checking, episode podcast that I'll be checking out today,
00:07:18
Speaker
It's a podcast that I clicked on and I'm not into true crime again. You guys know the spooky gory thing. I'm listening to more of it because it is a hit. My TikTok is jumping. My Instagram is jumping. I know y'all like the true crime. So I'm trying to get into it more. This cover art was so sick. It's like I picked all the podcasts today just based off the cover art. It just called to me.
00:07:42
Speaker
It's a podcast entitled Rotten. Now, on my Spotify, it looks like it used to be called Rotten Mango, so you might have to type that in just to find it, but right now the cover art just says Rotten. The episode that I'm listening to is entitled number 114, The Creepy Father-in-Law Diaries, Case of Susan and Josh Powell.
00:08:06
Speaker
Let's read the episode description. It says, he wrote in his diary every day about his love and desire for Susan. He took hundreds of pictures of Susan, of her getting dressed, eating cereal, using the restroom, even shopping at Costco. Her husband was no good for her. They were not in love, not like the way he and Susan were in love. You probably guessed it, but Susan had no idea he was in love with her. And she definitely wasn't interested in dating her father-in-law.
00:08:34
Speaker
When Susan went missing, all his creepy secrets will be exposed. But you know what they say, like father, like son. Oh my God, there's going to be a twist. I want to hear this creepy, disgusting, incestuous podcast. It's one hour and 41 minutes, so it's a long one. You might want to take this one on a commute or break it up when you're doing chores or something like that. I'm going to listen in for a little
