Listen to my weekly podcast, the puja bhajjo on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty, stay for the fire. I love it, I told you I love it, Vice column. So somebody sent me one, which kind of makes me mad that I didn't see it myself. But what do we always tell people, Sarah? Well, you don't know. If you see something that we should know about, don't just assume that we know. Just send it. Dear Annie, I have fallen under the spell. Let me turn music down. I have fallen under the spell of high end escorts. Oh my God. Doesn't that just the first sentence? Doesn't it seem a little out of place for most of the most of that? You got it. You got to dig. You got to dig for the good ones. Well, I can tell you the last Annie column I read was over the weekend and it was about Palm Sunday. And how it reminds us that life rarely moves in a straight line. Different palm. So I agree. This seems a little risque. Dear Annie, I have fallen under the spell. By the way, I've never, can I say this with all honesty, 100%. I have never hired an escort ever. That's not true. For myself. What happened? You haven't told the story in a while. What happened in Atlantic City? Oh, that was for that was for a bachelor party. And what an escort? Oh, no, no, technically. Well, yeah, I guess it was. I guess it was. But no, what I meant is like for yourself. Yeah, like I've never I've never hired an escort. Yeah, no, I definitely bought a. No, you know what? Now, because I don't want to be offensive to escorts. That was really just a prostitute off the street. A street escort. Why were you looking to? Because I wanted to come up and perform at the bachelor party. But but what were you looking for her to do? Perform at the bachelor party. But she wasn't like a stripper. No, but I did see her naked. Apparently, Tyler goes to different types of bachelor parties. I'm not doing explain this. This will be good, Sarah. Do you think you remember a buddy or I didn't have a bachelor party? Oh, I think you had a Jack and Jill. I don't even know what that is. It's both a bride and groom. No, my wife had a bachelor party. OK, do you think I had a bachelor party? You're right. I think you stayed home and watched TV. I didn't do anything. I'm not even saying like, oh, it wasn't really a bachelor party. No, I didn't do anything for my prewedding weekend. Yeah, yes. OK, so Elliot has never hired a myself for himself, correct, which I totally get. I don't count what you did for the bachelor party. Yeah, that was just fine. And that was just fine entertainment on the street. Right. That's it. But what was your trivia question going to be about your story? What do you mean? You started to say, do you remember who do you remember who who the escort got pissed at for hiding in the shower? I think I do. But I don't want to say on the wrong answer. First letter, first name. Say, yep, you got it. And so he hid in the shower to watch her. You have said this. Yeah, but I don't need to now. It's been a long time. Yeah, also, I don't know. I know Sarah. I don't know if I trust Sarah. No, no, so he hid in the shower. Don't tell your story to Kristen. And the escort song and went in there and was like, you're a piece of garbage. You're a perv. You're hiding in the shower. And he's like, yeah, you're an escort. Anyway, anyway, although it didn't didn't on the fourth floor. Well, we are on the fourth floor when we were on the sixth floor. Maybe it was on the third floor. Was it there an escort business that ran out of this building? You used to always say that. Yes, there was an escort business that ran out of here. I think some others backed you up on that claim. I remember there were some disjockeys at the station who hired escorts to go to Christmas parties. Yes, but I don't know if they were. I don't know if they use the one in the I don't know if they got a bonus. They hired them to go to Christmas parties as arm candy or because. Oh, yeah. And we all knew and it'd be like, oh, there's a fellow learn with his escort. Actually, that's a good question. He's all you've gotten to in this letter is the first sentence. Right. Is this going to be for accompaniment and attendance at different gallows? Or is this going to be more for the after parties? Let's see. I have fallen under the spell of high end escorts. I wish I could explain it. I sort of stumbled into it because I didn't believe it was real, but the providers are unbelievable. Their care and attention are spectacular. I've never considered myself a sex addict, but I'm pretty sure I'm steering that way now. I see. I can't believe I'm in this position and I can't believe such beautiful creatures exist. Everything is civil and consensual, so I don't feel like it is a reckless behavior and I'm having trouble resisting. Is this something that requires self discipline to conquer? Or is it more common than I realize and there are resources to help? Sincerely helpless in Atlanta. Well, the answer is Tyler's question about companionship or... Oh, it's totally sex. Um, frequency, it happens all the time. Frequency is high. High. By the way, the sentence before questioning whether or not he is a sex addict now. Did mention both care and attention. Yes. So he likes that as well. There is some sort of, what's that girlfriend experience idea? Mm-hmm. High and escort. It's not somebody who's getting into the passenger seat of your car. Right. But isn't that the girlfriend experience? What, the passenger seat of your car? No, no. No, that is the girl you need a Mentos. All right. I think it's twofold. He does seem to like the companionship, but also, you know, I don't think it's the girlfriend experience. I really don't. I just think that they come to visit him and they are very attractive. They are very like they take care and they show concern. Maybe he is taking them out to dinner or they're going to the DC 101 Christmas party. I don't know. Maybe maybe they are doing that and then having sex, but I don't think that's a record. I don't feel like from reading that that they're doing both. What a beautiful creature. Amen. Amen. Who talks like that? Helpless in Atlanta. Did you have any friends that maybe got involved with escorts? Myself? Yeah. I mean, I definitely know people that hired escorts, but were those one offs? No, I didn't know one guy that tried to date an escort. So it was her gig, but he also just wanted to date her. He never saw her as a client. Oh, no, he definitely saw her as a client, but I always told him it's like you're buying five and getting the six one free where it would be like she would tell him that Kristen, will you do me a favor? Will you find me one of two people? Will you find me somebody that's hired an escort or somebody that's worked as an escort? Please. And you can always disguise your voice. Just push on your Adams apple. 866 to Elliott 866-235-5468. Nothing to be embarrassed. You're not breaking the law. Don't think. I don't think so. Can I ask a question? Well, hold on. 866 to Elliott 866-235-5468. Someone who's hired an escort or someone who used to work as an escort. You got a question? Escort prostitute. Are we talking about two different types of profession? To me, it's totally separate. To me, it is told and maybe maybe that's how I justify it. Now it makes it sound like I should call myself the but like to me, like if you could, if you're going through an escort service, which I guess you could say is just a John, but to me, it's different. No, no, no, no, pimp or a pimp rather. Excuse me. I'm the job. Yes, a pimp. The to me, it's different and I don't know why I say that, but I do. It's because there's more to the board. No, you can hire a prostitute is only sex. You can hire an escort. That's only sex. I know you. It's just higher in. Ken. That's that to me is the difference. But can you have a prostitute? Well, I guess we have seen that needs a Mento movies. Yes, a prostitute can pretend to be your girlfriend. Yes, of course. I think if you just traditionally, the definitions would be that the escort is more of a companion like the word that stare you. See, I don't. I think that's only a portion of it. A lot of it is show up at a nice hotel. I think I think it's a it's like it's like first class versus last row economy. You're all going to the same place. The uh-huh. The boo-ho. No, that's not what I meant. I thought it was a journey. The reference. No, no, but I don't I don't think that necessarily an escort is like I'm taking you to a function or I'm taking you to dinner or we're going to go out and go dancing. And then we're going to go back to I think you can do that, right? But you can do that with a prostitute. You can do that with us with a street prostitute. Hmm. Do they I guarantee you that woman in Atlantic City, if I would have said to her, hey, before we go upstairs for this bachelor party, I'd like to take you to dinner. She'd have been like, yeah, let's go. But was she dressed for that? Yeah. Oh, I thought she was wearing a dress. Approach her on a sidewalk. Yes, on the street. The ones I've seen are like not wearing pants. They're wearing a skirt that barely covers the who. That's exactly what she had on. But you could take that to a restaurant. Some restaurants may have an issue. Shame on them. I'm hotels get weird if they see. Oh, they did. We had to give her a key separate of ours. There you go. Yeah, you can't walk up with them. They're like, you can't bring. Yeah, you don't know what she is. My daughter and but they know her. So yeah, we just had to give her one of our keys and a deposit for her to come up and then she had the nerve to yell at my friend. He was being a boy. You're free. Where am I going? Line one. No gloss. No filter. Just stories spoken without fear. Addiction is a disease and it should be looked upon as any other disease. How did you cope with a reckless father like me? Join me, Pooja Bhatt, as I sit down every week with directors, actors, musicians, technicians and beyond. You don't need to work with the biggest people in the biggest sound to have great music. I have gone through the Saab Siddhi Hachakar, reached the pinnacle, stung by the sneaker and I've fallen down again. Yeah, I am not writing actively anymore. And when I see my old work, it kind of saddens me. I'm only as good as the last shot that I gave. Mom's gone, but don't shut the theater. The show must go on. Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Bhatt Show on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty. Stay for the fire. Hi, Elliot. The morning. Hi, good morning. Were you an escort? Yeah. Yes. Hey, first of all, first of all, is, am I, is there, what is the biggest difference between an escort? Please don't take offense. I'm on your side. An escort and a prostitute. Um, I really don't know the difference. Maybe the way you find your client. Oh, so you would classify, you would classify yourself as just a high end prostitute? I mean, I guess I didn't do it very long. It was kind of uncomfortable for me. So I just got out of the game. Roll over. Hey, what is the, how did you get into it? The money. Uh, yeah, and it's exciting. I mean, the men that, the men that I went out with weren't, you know, they weren't predatory or anything. They're very nice and just wanted company and, you know, a little happy ending, I guess. But it wasn't, it just kind of, it was exciting. It was, you know, kind of appealing in that regard. Can I ask you this on like for, for most of your escort hires, were they part of like, you would go to events or you would go dancing or you would go to dinners or, or like a corporate thing? Or was it just like show up at the Willard and let's get after it? Yeah, it was a little bit of half and half. So someone in company got to dinner, have a nice time, talk and then some just wanted, you know, straight. Yeah. Well, let's go. Yeah. Which is fine with me. It was fine with me. How long did you do it for? Just a couple of months, to be honest. It really, it became, I had one incident where a gentleman kind of, you know, put me in a situation where I didn't appreciate. And then I just, you know, I didn't need the money. I was kind of doing it for the excitement of it, to be honest. So I just, yeah, I didn't last very long. Hey, can I ask you this? Like, and, and like that would be scary, right? That would be scary. And it was for, for somebody to put you in a position like that. How did you, how did you get out of it? Like, did you guys have muscle that would go with you? No, I mean, no, I, I didn't need it. These men were, I had intimidating. No, I just said I had to go. I said I had to go and, you know, he had taken me to dinner and then taken me into the bathroom. And it was my first time someone doing that to me. So it was really not the vibe. And I just said I had to go after that. Wait, so you guys, I never caught. And then I told him, Hey, listen, buddy, you, that was really offensive. Like, if don't ever do that again, like that is not the, that is not what we're signing up for. Can I ask a question? He's got the message. So, so you're at a restaurant and you go into the bathroom at the restaurant? Yes. Well, it was a hotel, the public hotel, which I thought, you know, the audacity of this man. I don't know. I mean, I guess, you know, I put myself in that position, but it was definitely like kind of over seven lines. What, what, what, what did he want to do in the bathroom? I mean, come on, Elliot. I'm, no, no, no, I'm assuming it was either oral sex or regular sex or anal sex. Yeah. Yes. Yes. But what was a little bit of that? And then it just, it, I wish I had not put myself in that position and that to really turn me off. But other experiences were genuine and kind and really nice men who just wanted some company and they were, you know, a little bit older than me. So it was nice to be taken care of. And some of them I still connect with and say hi to, but yeah, it's not, it was. So am I wrong to think that with most of them, there was some kind of sex? Do I say that again? Yeah, it was definitely 100%. I mean, they wanted the company, but they also wanted sex. Right. So I guess here, here's my confusion, right? And listen, if, if, if you weren't into it in the bathroom, I'm not, I'm not saying that that should have happened. I'm just trying to say like where you were like, that's really offensive. He thought, didn't he think that's what he was paying for? No, he didn't pay for that. That's what I'm saying. Oh, he just paid, he paid for dinner, but wanted a little bit of the butt dessert. Right. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Completely offended. And, uh, you know, I mean, it's not my primary source of income. I don't, you know, it's just not. What was your, what, what were you doing for? What were you doing for a living? Uh, well, I actually, uh, I prefer not to say it's kind of a niche market. I'm in construction. That's real niche. Hey, did they, um, well, I mean, for a female it is. No, I'll give you that. I'll give you that. I haven't seen a crane in years. Did the, did the people at work know what you did? No, gosh, no, no, no one knew. I mean, maybe a few friends that I felt, you know, I could confide in and my roommate, but yeah, I know, I mean, it's kind of risque, you know, how, um, don't offend anyone who does it. It's great. I mean, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was, again, it was exciting, but anyways. Hey, um, how expensive were you? Probably not expensive enough. Really. I heard other stories and I wasn't very expensive, like $400 for hanging out. That's hanging out. How much, how much for sex? Okay. Well, I mean, Elliott, the $400. Oh, that got me sex. Yeah. Yeah. I then I concluded a little, you know, Oral. Um, yeah, but I wasn't very good at that. I have ADHD, so I got bored real quick. So I just wanted to hang up my hat. Hang up my lingerie. Anyway, well, you have a good morning. You were awesome talking to you. Love you guys. I love you too. Thank you. Thank you. So she was out there on her own. Yeah. It's not like she was working for a company. The, oh, I didn't get to ask that because that price seems quite low. It does. I agree. I agree. I feel like the second you'd link up with a business, $400 would barely get you appetizers. What are you writing to? Didn't we find out that's what? I'd never heard a number. That was just to go to the Christmas party. I don't know if told you that. I don't know if he had sex. I've, I've, I'm not saying that like I've forgotten the number. No one ever told me how much he paid for that escort. I believe that was the number and that was just to come to the party. I think anything on top of that, he had to pay extra. So was it through a firm? I had, I want to say yes. I want to say yes. And probably like shirts and tickets. That's beautiful creatures. Line two. Hi, Elliott. The morning. Hey, is this me? Yes, sir. Who's this? Hey, this is John Doe. Yes. Yes, John. You're an escort. I have experience in that sport business. Yeah. Oh, so you used to hire escorts. Yeah. And how many were you? How many times did you buy an escort or hire an escort? Well, I traveled a lot for work. I went to a lot of bachelor parties. Yeah. So a time or two, you know, by once a month. Over how much time? Couple of years. So 12 a year. So let's say you did 50. You've hired 50 escorts. Yeah, at least dude. And were they for that's why I'm John Doe Elliott. I understand. Hey, was that for events and parties or just for sex? Both. Oh, really? A lot of a lot of like, honestly, like I travel a lot for work and take clients out and you'd be surprised like in the business I'm in how much just clients that like first time I'm meeting them and we're in city, they bring it up and they want, you know, to get the action. Like I'll try to imagine. I let's let's pretend I go to meet with whom I going to meet with for business for business to New York. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. I'm going to meet with who was the I'm going to meet with Jeff Satellano and Kelly Turner and they're like, let's go to dinner and I show up. It's me and an escort. Wouldn't they look at me like what's wrong with you? No, you're asking them. No, no, no. Oh, I am. Satellano. Hey, where am I getting some action? Yes. Oh, I got you. Oh, sweet. Sweet. So you didn't bring them to dinner. No, no. Well, it would be like the first time like meeting a client like and you know, and it's like these younger dudes right out of college, you know, and I go to a lot of cities like Vegas and you know, LA and you know, dudes want a party, you know, a lot of money to spend and yeah. I got you. I got you. Well, you know what good for you. Hey, is $400 a lot or a little? A little. Oh, yeah. I've had some crazy experiences like gotten robbed by them, had some wild stuff happen. Now at the bachelor party that we hired the prostitute for, she did rob money out of somebody's wallet. She was owed that for the guy creeping on her in the shower. I did. Oh, yes. Go ahead. This one time. One time we were in the basement. It was a bachelor party. It was like it was actually like six of us. We actually went to a caps game and it was after the capitals game in Vegas and we rented an Airbnb and we're in this basement and we had a girl come over and we all threw in the money and you know, me kind of being a little experienced in the game. I was like, Hey, we're not going to give her the money until, you know, afterwards. Like you're giving out the power works, but of course, you know, my buddy got pretty horny, I'd say, and he just threw the money right away and she goes, burning up the stairs, burning up the stairs, slams the front door and I go chasing after her. She slams the front door and she's like, there's 10 cop cars standing out, sitting outside of your house right now. And I look outside and there was three black SUVs parked in front, but they were just like her muscle. Oh, I got you. All right, very good. Are you married now? Are you married now? Is it the caps one? No, dude, no. Gotcha. All right, dude. Appreciate it. Thank you, my friend. So. Situations. It's an extra $50. No, no, that's not what was not going through the menu. And what is the what is the most important rule? Not in not in escorts, but on street prostitutes. What is the most important rule? Have a buddy. The no, well, maybe, maybe you talk to them through the passenger window. Not the driver's side window. You don't have them approach on the driver's side because they could grab you. No. Oh, why breath? Oh, breath need a mental. Only Elliott's go to for freshening his breath is a candy. They just say it's the fresh maker. They don't want to. You don't want them leaning in that close. Trust me. Hey, Ovi. No gloss. No filter. Just stories. Spoken without fear. Person who's not generous cannot be an artist. The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers.
