Look into his eyes.
They're the eyes of a man obsessed by sex.
Eyes that mock our sacred institutions.
Bedroom eyes, they call them, in a bygone day.
Hey, Emily, you got a boyfriend?
Cause my man E here, he just.
Got his heart broken.
He thinks you're kinda cute. A girl's gotta have her standards.
Oh my.
The women know about shrinkage.
Isn't it common knowledge? What do you mean? Like laundry? It shrinks.
Can we not talk about sex so much?
Are you kidding me?
Oh my God, I feel so good. Being bad feels pretty good. But you know, Emily's not the kind of girl you just play with.
You're listening to Sex with Emily. We're talking about sex, relationships, and everything in between. For more information, go to sexwithemily.com where you can check out all of our podcasts. Sign up for our mailing list, because I give you God. Good God. Good God. Goddamn email every week. It's really interesting, Anderson. You get my email.
I get your God. Good damn email.
I give good email, people. It's so weird because I just came back from Las Vegas, which I will get to in a moment, and people are like, oh, I read your email. And I hear this all the time. I like your emails. And like you don't think anyone reads your goddamn emails. But I send weekly emails and they are full of chock full of information to help you have sex life and the relationship that you want. Which is why I'm on the planet. I understand.
Is that why God put you on the planet was to make people bang better?
That's what I'm doing. Not myself per se, but I got from Las Vegas. So I go to this conference twice a year. It's called the International Lingerie Show. Right. It's all like sex toys and lingerie. Yes.
Just let's be old for a second. Talk about weather because it was 194 degrees here. Was it like 300 degrees in Vegas?
I don't know. Because the thing about this conference is it's so intense. We never leave the hotel. Not once. I told my assistants as I'm like, we're never gonna leave. Like, I'll bring your ratings to whatever way. And then it's frigging freezing in the hotel. Not once you're there. It's like work. It's sex toy work. We're feeling out toys all day, but it's still friggin exist.
You're, like, literally manipulating and feeling out, squeezing towards everyone.
Check out my Instagram, Sex with Emily, Twitter, Facebook, all of that. Like me on Facebook. I've got lots of pictures. I felt out toys.
If you had.
If you ever had a daughter, yes.
She would be horrified, inevitably show up to school, like, third grade and be like, I want to show and tell today what my mommy does for a living. You wouldn't know, but she'd sneak out like some kind of vibrator, and you'd be horrified.
It wouldn't be hard. God, no daughters. No daughters for me. Exactly. Like, my nieces can't even, like, talk to me. And now they're at the age to Google me, as you know, know, which isn't great, but I was in Vegas and it's, you know, I love going every year, it's twice a year, and they have this sex toy show. And so we, you know, we went and we. Yeah, we tried out sex toys. We talked to a bunch of people. And it was so funny because I went with my. With Lauren, my assistant and intern, Madison, who'd never been before. And I was like, yeah, it's. You know, we go around, we talk to our sponsors, and we try out new toys, get new toys. And some people are really nice. They give us some toys to try right when we're there. And we walk in and we go right to the Vibratex booth. They own magic wand. And I saw Eddie, my friend there, and he's like, hey. And then Madison was like, that's the top of my dream list. And he just handed us over all magic wands, which, you know, is like the Mack truck of all vibrators. And it was like, from there, it was just like, you knew it was gonna be a success. And then we just came home. So then we're driving.
So that's the real reason why you guys never went out?
What, never, like, left the hotel? No, we didn't do that. I wish it was that interesting. And you know what? Another interesting thing you brought up, speaking of not doing anything interesting in a hotel room, is that I've been to this conference, I don't know, 10, 12 times. I've never once hooked up with anybody, never had sex, never full, never even made. There's nothing.
How would you need to. You have the Mack daddy of all vibrators.
So my friend Brian, who's there, he's like. He runs oh, My Bod, that company that makes the vibrators that sync with your phone, whatever, and he's like, that's not possible. And he was talking everyone. He's like, do you believe this is impossible? So then he timed. He said to me, okay. And I was telling him that, you know, I never ask guys out. I never approach them, as I've been saying on the show, that it's probably something I could learn to do. And he's like, okay, I'm gonna time you. Just go up to someone random and ask him to have sex with you, and we'll see how long, see what happens.
That's a cruel joke for whoever you target.
That's actually really funny. So I went up to this guy and I was like. And I was nervous because I never. I mean, I know it was a joke kind of, but I never even approached him.
How'd you pick him?
He's tall and cute. Really cute. Tall, cute guy. And I went up to him and I was like, hi, do you. Do you want to have sex tonight? And he said, yeah. Yes. Yes, I would. And my friend was hysterical on the floor because he's like. I couldn't even. It was a millisecond. I couldn't even press start. I couldn't even press start.
Was this surprising to you at all?
No.
We're in Vegas. But it was funny. It was good times. And then we came home from Vegas. No, it was really funny. And then the other guy went up to. I kind of knew him. He's like, I've already had sex with you five times in my mind in the last hour. So people were very enthusiastic when I was next to me. But long story short, I didn't have any sex. Yeah, but it wasn't about that.
You know what? For the sake of the show, just say you banged all weekend.
I banged all weekend. No, it's nothing. I haven't banged, but not in Vegas. And then we drove home. It was hysterical because I had my Mini Cooper and there was three of us and we had tripled, you know, we already had like a million shoes and dresses, mostly mine. We came home with a truckload Mini Cooper load full of sex toys. We couldn't see out the window. It was like, sexy.
I was about to ask you, why the fuck would you ever drive to Vegas and back? But you just answered my question.
Because it's always going with a goddamn sex toys.
Yeah, you can't. I can't imagine going through security when.
I lived in San Francisco. I had to fly to the Il. To the show, because whatever. It's four hours. It's easy. I can bring all my shoes and all my sex toys, home shoes and vibrators.
Let's go to bed.
Exactly. So it was, it was a great day. So it was a great week and I'm exhausted, but I'm so. I'm actually not. I'm very energized.
No, you look fresh, you look happy. Ready to go.
I'm so excited. My guest tonight is Robin Anton and.
Oh, I love that.
Hi Robin. She's friggin beautiful. Hot. She is the founder of the Pussycat Pussycat Dolls. Choreographer, producer, director, designer, entrepreneur, all around Sex Positive bombshell. And tonight we're gonna talk about what's sexy and her rooftop dance series in Los Angeles, which I totally wanna go to. You better be there, dude. I need something new in LA to like.
You're coming.
Done and done. I'm there. I love it.
It's sexy. I will definitely tell you about that, but I have to say first, thank you so much for having me.
Oh my God, of course.
Here. I've been wanting to do this for so long and I love you and I love your show and I love everything about you. And it's so funny listening to you because I'm sitting thinking, God, you and I are really. We have a lot in common. We do.
You go to Vegas, don't get laid out.
So, yeah. So Vegas, first of all, I have the same exact experiences. I've been. I have had Pussycat dolls there for 10 years.
Right.
And I've never, It just has never happened like that.
Because you're big, you're working too.
I'm like going in my hotel and everyone's like out partying all night. I'm like, yeah, no, that's not. It's just that thing there. Yeah. And everyone's. I mean, it's. I, I just, I have a totally different kind of thing happening there. And no daughters. But everyone always says the same thing. If you had a daughter, you'd be in trouble. My niece Jonathan. My brother Jonathan's daughter.
That's so funny.
I know.
Yeah.
But his daughter Josie is a Pussycat doll and she's only seven and she is the sexiest little thing. She walks around in her little outfits and does. Exactly. Yeah. So everyone's like, she's like, my aunt.
Robin is a Pussycat doll. I'm like, that's so cute.
I don't know if that's good, but it is.
I know my brother, when they were in town, my nieces, I have three nieces. And he was like, clear out your house. They're not coming over they're like, be careful. Because one time my niece, when she was 11, slept at my house when I lived in San Francisco, and she slept over and I had all these sex. Like I have every sex on the planet. And I was on the shelf of a house. Like, she wasn't necessarily in the living room. The next day she got back to the hotel room because they were staying in San Francisco. And she goes, mommy, daddy, why does every book on Aunt Emily's shelf have the word sex in the title? And then she's reciting the names like, what's homo? What's cunnilingus? I'm like, oh, God, that is incredible. But it's fun being an aunt, right?
It is. And I mean, you know, listen, she watches the girls and you know, when we do the very sexy choreography and the girls, like, you know, in the sexy version of the Pussycat Dolls, which is the original version, girls, you know, bending over and doing, like, really sexy and things that we love doing. Right?
Totally.
You know, and there's little Jos. You know, copying all these moves and we're like, yikes. But it's.
That is so funny. So she. But she knows all about. I mean, she's watching. Oh, my God, that's the best dance I have. I'm just like. I just do something that they don't really understand yet.
I mean, your thing is definitely on another level of, you know, your niece is walking around going, what is this?
What is cunningus, Mommy? Oh, Jesus. She's 11. It's really bad.
Does she actually pick up the toys and like.
No, the toys are hidden. I've actually made it. The toys are very well up. Very well. That has not happened yet. Thank you.
We. We all hide our toys, Right?
Right. Do you, do you like toys?
I mean, let's.
Let me.
Okay. So I'll be honest. I. I do, but I. I don't really use them that much to tell you the toy. I don't. I mean, I'm. I just, I like, you know, the real thing.
You like the real thing? No, I got it. I got it. A lot of people, you know, it's a bit. Yeah, it's part of my business. I gotta go feel it. Toys. But some people are into them, some people aren't.
That's a huge.
No, punch it. Right? Business.
I mean, it really is. It's incredible.
Big.
Yeah.
Big business. So I get to see, you know, what's going on in the world.
Absolutely. Okay, so I want to make a blow up Pussycat doll.
You should. That Would probably. You could do a flashlight Pussycat doll for each one of the flesh. Do you know the face? Do you know what the Fleshlight is? Right. It's the male masturbation sleeve. It looks like a flashlight. It's in a can. Well, you don't. It's okay if you don't know. You don't need to know so bad. You don't need to know.
I'm learning. I'm learning right now.
You're learning so much. I should have one. No, but they make them. They also. Which I didn't mention that they make them. If there's a certain porn star you like, you could buy, like, Jenna Hayes or Kane Cross. You could buy it. They mold it in their vagina.
Oh, my God.
So if your Pussycat dolls wanted to get their vaginas molded. Yeah, it's a good revenue stream, Nicole. You never know. If things don't work out or whatever, they want to get mold. Fleshlight will take that. Okay, so let's talk about this. So you've been very successful with. With everything that you've done, really, creating the popular girl groups like Pussycat Dolls, Girlicious. And you have a great eye for what is sexy. So how do you. Is it. How do you go about picking the girls, like, and helping them become pop idols? Is it that you just see something in them, or do they already have it? Like, can you teach that? I need to know.
You know, I think it's one of those things that, I mean, just as a woman and this is like, you know, this is what girls talk about.
Right.
You know, it's something that we all want to be. I have had many different types of girls that I've worked with, you know, that I've auditioned that I've been around that. That are maybe fantastic singers, you know, incredible dancers, beautiful, the whole package. But then there's that confidence thing that when they get on stage, they kind of. It's, you know, sometimes it can. I think the experience and the. And, you know, working very hard at relaxing can bring. That. Can bring out the thing that we have that we have naturally, which is that sex appeal. You know what I mean?
Right.
But it's sometimes just getting on that stage can cover that up, dampen it for them. But then I think we all have it. I think that. My point. We all have. I always say, inside every woman is a Pussycat doll.
See, I love that, because one of the reasons why I think this would be so great for you to talk about this is because one of the Biggest killers for women and men is that women don't feel sexy in the bedroom. They gained weight after childbirth. They don't feel good about their body. They never felt good about it. They don't have confidence. And same with men. I'm like, confidence, number one aphrodisiac. Be like, what do you mean by that? How do I get the confidence? So if you're, like, speaking to a woman who doesn't even, you know, you know, you have friends that are, like, beautiful. They're like, I'm so fat. I'm so.
Exactly.
So, like, what do you.
Well, it's almost the same thing. I mean, like, the bedroom is, you know, it's having sex, like, performing. You know what I mean? It's like, it's all the same thing because you can walk around and maybe act like you have that confidence. And, you know, girls can put on makeup and they put on, you know, a hot dress and they do all that. You know, I mean, they may walk around like they feel it, but then as soon as, like, you're saying they get in the bedroom, they may lose that confidence because they have to show their body and they realize that this is the moment that I'm going to really expose myself. And so I think that, you know, obviously, I mean, it's taking care of yourself and doing as much as you possibly can do and accept that this is what I have. This is me. This is what I've, you know, what everyone is. I feel like even when you see, you know, girls in magazines that are like, you know, skinny or whatever, it's like no one is absolutely perfect. I mean. I mean, everyone's got their thing. It comes down to it, everyone's got their thing.
Everyone's got everything that they don't like about themselves. But you got to celebrate what you do have and what you have going for you.
Because all. There's so many, you know, young girls that I think that. That it can be dangerous when they are always looking at these, you know, skinny, skinny girls in magazines and they want so bad to be that. And that's. They need to understand that, you know, you're not. Not everyone's born with that. So you're either you were, you're either that or you're not. You know what I mean? But, yes, you can work. I work so hard to be. To try to feel confident, you know what I mean?
Because you're beautiful. You keep me. You're very sexy. I know sometimes we wake up, right? We don't wake up like this but, but how do you. When you were younger, did you go through a phase or did you always swim?
Oh, I went there. Are you kidding me? So many phases. I mean, I went through like, you know, everything from my, you know, skin, you know, I mean, literally, like neat, whatever. Yeah, like I, I mean, you know, I've been dancing pretty much my whole life, so I definitely. My body, maybe I go through the skinny stage and then a little bit more round and I've always had the booty and the whole thing, but like I know what to do to continue to have the body that I can accept and that I feel good about, you know. But I do know that, yes, I would rather be taller and skinnier and this and that.
You know what I mean?
And everything, you know, But I just, I just.
You do have to do. That's. I think that's a really good point. Like, we all know what makes us feel good. Like, I know like I need to work people's. People hate working out though. But like I actually need it. I mean, it wasn't that I was younger, but it's like the endorphins and the whole thing. Like people are like, I hate it, I hate it. But it's the kind of thing you can do it. You'll feel, you find what you like. It doesn't have to be. It could be your dance class. It doesn't have to be the gym.
Exactly. No, I mean all I do is dance. That's all I do.
Do you dance at home?
Sometimes. I mean, I'll get in bed and I'll just start stretching and like doing all kinds of, you know, just different things. Like literally like in bed, you know, and it does work because you wake up and you feel like, I do sit ups in bed. I do, I stretch, you know, do like all kinds of different sit ups.
Where you leave beds.
I work out in bed. Right. That's my next dvd.
Really well smart, actually.
Yeah, it's definitely a part of it.
It is.
No, I mean, I've been talking about it, that concept forever to make it a part of it because I'm doing a third one.
You burn calories when you sexy.
Yeah, but you know, dancing is so good for your body. And that's why I do that religiously. And you know, sometimes the weights can make you, can bulk you up and. But everybody's different, right?
You know what I mean? You got to find your thing that makes you feel good because just moving, just walking, walking feels good. You just got it, like, and then you'll start to know how your body works. You have to come to my dance class.
It is going to be so much fun. And it's sexy and it's. And it's easy. It's honest. It's very easy. The way that there's a guy named Ben Allen who I'm partnering up with, and he has a company called Groove 3. And it's so much fun. He really came up. He's the one that came up with this formula on how to teach non dancers, literally, people who have never, ever, ever danced in their lives. And he came up with this way to really teach anyone how to dance.
I heard you do that.
Well, I do that too. So I have my way that it really works. And he has his. And we came together and it just is this like, perfect team, perfect combination. And I bring the sex, you know, and he has his, like, you know, I have my hip hop flair too, and he's got his. So we kind of just combine it all. That is so fun.
And it's open. It's like a dance cut. You'll sign up and.
Yeah, so you. There's. You just go to www.groove, it's G R O O V. And then just the number three dot com.
And we'll have this on our site as well.
Yes. And that's where you can buy tickets and get info. And It's Monday the 22nd.
Yes, I'm in. I can't wait. You teach my dance.
You're gonna love it. It's so fun.
I love it. Okay, so we. Line one is Noelle. Hi, Noelle. You're on Sex with Emily with Robin. Anton. How are you? Noelle from Los Angeles.
I'm good.
Thank you for taking my call.
Of course. Thank you for calling. What's going on?
I love your name, so thank you. So I saw Robin tweeted, so I had to call in because I'm such a huge fan.
Really? And why. Why are you a fan of mine?
Everything you do. I mean, I'm not a dancer, but I want to be a dancer, so I.
You're in la. Come to the girls.
And it's so inspirational. I love everything you do.
Okay, you need to come to my dance class.
I have a question for you.
Oh, okay.
Just like. But you're coming.
But I need to know why you.
Have not jumped in to the lead role of Pussycat Doll.
That is not what I expected.
Because first of all, I'm not a singer and I'm obsessed with singing. And that's why everyone else sings. I can Definitely dance, I would say. I can dance circles around all those.
Girls. I dance, you know, I take dance class every single day, unlike a lot of dancers out there. So that part is the easy part. But, you know, also, they're like. They're all 12, and I'm not, so. But I will be performing soon. At some point, come to my dance class. You'll see me dance.
We're gonna go on the 22nd, Noel. Yes.
And it's.
I'm in the Valley, so I'm gonna.
Try to make it. Oh, my God. You're a Valley girl. I'm a Valley girl.
Okay. Well, thanks, Noel.
Thank you, Noel.
Bye. Okay, we'll take that. We'll take the next call because we got another one coming in. We've got Edward in West Hollywood. Hey, Edward. You're on Sex with Emily with Robin. Anton. Hi.
Hi, Emily. Hi, Robin.
Hi, Edward.
Edward. What's up?
So, my question's for Robin. I'm a huge fan and have followed basically the Pussycat Dolls since.
The first album and actually before, from, like, the Charlie's Angels. Oh, the sequel.
Oh, wow. Yeah. A lot of people.
Yeah. So I'm like Die Hard.
You really are.
So excited to be talking to you.
Hey, thank you, Edward.
So I have. My question is, who are some of the females that have inspired you or that you've looked up to?
Oh, God, there's. I mean, there's a million.
Okay. That's a lie.
We'd be around.
There's two.
Oh. Oh, okay. Here's a good one. And it's funny because I actually do say her a lot, but last night.
Did you see. Did you, Edward, I'll ask you, too. And Emily, did you watch Jimmy Fallon last night?
No.
I was driving back from Vegas, so.
Gwen Stefani was on, who is one of my huge inspirations forever. She happens to be a friend of mine because she. I had her as a guest Pussycat doll kind of back in the day at the Rock Star. Yeah, I know.
You worked with her, right? Yeah.
And I ended up working with her, became friends, and she's just a. The most amazing girl. So. I've always said that she's someone that inspires me, but I happen to just be watching Jimmy Fallon last night. Actually watch it every night, Love. Jimmy. And Gwen was on. So they were doing the Lip Sync challenge.
Okay. Oh.
Which is so. It's the best thing ever. I mean, it's so funny.
Stone was hilarious. Did you see that one? Okay, but go ahead.
No, I know they're. They're so great. If you guys. Edward, if you haven't ever seen.
Did you see.
No, you obviously haven't, because you.
If you did, you would find on YouTube.
Yeah, it. Okay, so, Gwen, did Carly Rae Jepsen call me maybe? And I have to tell you, it was. So at first I thought, like. Because Gwen hasn't been around musically, although she's obviously now on the Voice, and, you know, she's just. She's like, for me, she's the ultimate rock star. But, like, you have to see what she did with it, because she just did. She didn't try to be funny, right? She just said, I'm gonna be Gwen. And she got out there and she did her Gwen thing that every other female artist right now is trying to do, because they all want to be Gwen. Of course, because Gwen is the best, right? But she kind of. What she did last night is she kind of told everyone, stand back. I am here, and I have not gone anywhere. And I am the ultimate. I mean, it was. It gave me chills, like, And I was like, that's why she inspires me, because she's just. She owns it.
And she owns it.
She's confident, and she's one of those girls that she's got, you know, she has a personality where it's like. It's not like she's walking around like, I'm so confident. She's just.
She rolls with it, right? She is who she is.
So that's my answer.
Yeah. How's that, Edward?
I love no Doubt, and I love the Pussycat Dolls. And I'm sure you get asked all the time, but we are dying for another album.
A Pussycat Doll reunion. Yes.
Yes.
I would love another album with Nicole and all the girls.
Oh, my God. Well, that's a possibility, Gwen. I mean, Nicole was on my podcast and actually mentioned that there that she would love to have a reunion. So it definitely sparked a lot of people. Like, especially in the uk. They're like, a reunion.
Yes.
I actually. I saw Boy George the other night out. How amazing is that?
Like, just, like, it's never. Like, you wouldn't miss him. Like, there's Boy George.
It's not like he's around ever. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, it's the first time I've ever seen him in person. And my mom is English, and she just started talking to him because she's English. I'm like, oh, my God. And they ended up connecting. But he said when he realized it was me, he said, oh, please tell me there's gonna be a reunion. There's gotta be a reunion. I mean the pussycat doesn't. He went on and on about it.
And I was like crazy fanatical. It's true. Yeah. So Edward, thank you for. You gotta come. You're come to the dance class on September 22nd in West Hollywood. You're in West Hollywood.
I'm there.

They don't carry any of that shocky stuff that you wouldn't want to put inside you, around you or near you. It's all body safe materials and they know they were at the show. I hung out with them this week and there's some really cool stuff you can get there. The Vibratex I love. The girls are these little clitoral vibrators. They're adorable. You give them your girlfriends, they come in a little leather pouch and they're like great gifts. And they're like. They look like little people. I can't. I know that sounds really bad. They look. They're like little balls and they have these little flicker things at them. They. They're really. I can't explain.
They look like Weeble wobbles.
Leave wobbles. Doesn't sound. They look like little girls. They're cute. That's how.
That is horrifying.
Okay, I don't mean that they're called the girls because the woman who made it, Shay, who started Vibratex, named after her three best friends, they don't look like women, but they each have the different personalities. Like one of these little things that rub against your clitoris, these little spikes. One is a little pointy top. They're very.
I'm picturing Russian nesting.
Oh, my God. I'm totally getting in trouble here because I'm saying, like, girls, and then I sound like a pedophile. I don't mean that at. You also have to check out my favorite vibe.

No, I. Listen, I. You wouldn't.
You want turn away one?
No.
You wouldn't say, Emily, don't give me a goddamn vibrator.
No, I'm very interested in it, but I was thinking more about the fact that that was called the girls.
Yeah.
That's really cute.
You should get yourself. And we get them all. They come in a pink leather pouch. They're really cute.
That's so cute. I just always think I'm always, like, branding. Like, I'm thinking, you know, oh, well, we could.
Names. We could do something together.
Blow Up Pussycat doll.
Yeah.
Okay.
Note. Blow Up Pussycat. Yeah. I don't know why you don't have that yet, because they'd probably be huge.
I know.
Yes, but it's like you're crossing the line. Like, I've already crossed over. I'm not gonna be senator, but, you know, if you go there, no Pussy Doll would be popular. Yeah. Okay. So, Robin, I want to talk about sexual confidence. We kind of touched on a little bit, but you're obviously a very sexually confident woman. You couldn't do what you do, like, on the stage, off. Like, I saw you, like, you know, in the studio when I was doing podcasts and you just, like, in the morning, like, you're gorgeous, where you carry yourself, like, you're beautiful. You style all that stuff. And I'm wondering, like, do you have tips, like, how you can cultivate, like we touched on earlier, but, like, a healthy sense of. Of sexual confidence for men and for women?
It is. Exactly. It is for both. And it is about having, you know, having a healthy sense of confidence and learning.
Yeah. And I know we kind of touched on it, but if you. If you have a story about, like, someone you work with, maybe that, like, wasn't at the beginning and you kind of taught them.
Absolutely.
You teach these? You mold them?
Yeah, I do. I mean, there's tics and tips. Yeah.
What are some.
I mean, this is even, like, a good example of just how dancing. And I. You know, I have to say, dancing can make you feel.
You know, it just gives you this. This. This. You don't have to be a professional dancer, but, I mean, it gives you this feeling of.
Like, you know, you feel alive.
Right.
I worked with. Now, I've worked with a lot of different celebrities, and I would say a lot of them really have a similar story, but one I would say is Gwyneth Paltrow. I worked with her on a film called View from the Top.
Oh, yeah, she was a stewardess.
Yes, exactly. Yeah. And with Christina Applegate, who's also a really good friend of mine. And I just remember I came in, I was, you know, was the choreographer, and I didn't know Gwyneth at the time. And I remember her, like, walking in, and the second that she walked in, she had this sort of. And this is before she was into her kind of her whole thing now, you know how she's. She's always worked out. She's always had the most amazing body. But I think at that time, she. It made. It made her so afraid. Like, she walked in and she was like. It was almost like she was just this sort of. Like. It was stone, you know, she looked at me like, no way. No way.
I'm not dancing.
I'm not dancing. You are not gonna get me to dance. I don't dance. I never danced. I know. And it wasn't. It wasn't a bad vibe.
It was.
I mean, she was such a nice person, but she was like, I just am. I just need you to know that. And so she was.
She.
She had that. And it's not that she wasn't confident, Obviously, she's very confident, but she was definitely.
It's about dancing.
Yeah.
She.
She walked in and was, like, letting me know, like, just so you know, obviously you're gonna be choreographing her, but I am gonna kind of, like, be over here. And. And that was, like, our sort of pride. It wasn't conversation in front of a bunch of people. So, anyway, cut to. I taught the choreography and do it where I teach, you know, everyone how to dance. Anyone can learn how to dance. And I helped her become confident in, you know, as. I mean, she's a woman who does what she does, and we see her and we're like, you know, we're also inspired by her, but this is something that she was definitely afraid of. And I will. I remember to this day, after we did the whole thing, she learned everything. She was like. She literally was. She had tears. Like, she was. I mean, she was so emotional.
Never dance.
Yeah. And she looked at me, she said, oh, my God, I never in a million years would have thought that I can do this. And it gave her a different.
Goosebumps.
Yeah. Like, it gave her this different kind of feeling. You know what I mean? And for the. You know, for what we were doing. And she felt confident in learning, you know, the. Just the simple. They were simple steps. Not like she was doing these crazy steps. But still, I think, you know, I think part of the lesson is just, you know, everyone is afraid. And knowing that even someone like Gwyneth Paltrow or, you know, I love that.
See, that's a perfect scene.
Gwen. All these girls. I mean, you know, I've worked with so many.
And you've worked with, I mean, Cameron Diaz, right?
Yeah, Cameron. Well, Cameron is the. She's born. She's got it. That girl's got it. She's. God, I don't think she's afraid of anything. I mean, but she's. She is just. She's, like, the hottest. And she's someone who teaches me about confidence, I would say, you know, I'm also very good friends with Kim Kardashian, and Kim is someone who is very honest about, like, she's like, I don't dance. Okay, she does. But she's. But she's. You know, but Kim is. Kim is. I think that she's also. She's grown into her confidence, and she is truly. I mean, she's a beautiful person, you know, inside and out, honestly. And she's been such a great friend to me and the most loyal friend. And, you know, she's. I think that she. But she has this. She has a fear of. She wants to be able to Dance. But she's, she's honest about it, but she finds confidence in other ways.
You know what I mean?
So she's not.
Have you worked with her? Have you been like Kim?
Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, we've, we've, you know, she, she actually did our. The bathtub scene in the Pussycat Dolls show in Vegas. Yeah, she did that and she did. And then she did like a, like a whole MC thing. But I made sure to get her in the bathtub, which involves choreography and I knew that she could do it. And she was telling me, I am never going to be able to do this. And I knew she could.
I mean, you know, see, okay, this is amazing.
And she was.
Yeah, these are so. If these are not. So people can just take. If they're not in LA and they can't take your. What would you suggest them? Are there like DVDs?
Yeah, I mean, I have my pussycat dolls DVDs. I have two of them and they're like, okay, I'm going to send them to you. Okay. And they are definitely can teach you a lot. The one that I'm planning to do next would be more of this concept that is, you know, there's a lot of different ways to teach people. But the DVDs are so much fun and you just pop them in your computer and you can just. I have a little three minute purr fect workout. P U U R R. Of course, the branding. Yes, exactly. And those, all of those little things can help you. I mean, I do things like, okay, when I'm in the bathroom and it's nighttime and I have like my hair up in a bun and you know, I'm brushing my teeth and putting my mask on and getting ready. Like I said, not, not looking so sexy before bed or especially when I'm alone, I do all these things. I'm like, okay, now I can.
Yeah, right.
This is what we do. So as I'm brushing my teeth, I do these like little like squat. I come squat lifts. So squat lift. So you just like do a little squat and you kind of lift to the right, lift to the left, lift to the right and you just squat. But you have to squat and then go up, squat, go up. And it, it's great for the, for the booty and it's great for your thighs and I do those kind of things and I do these things called waist cinchers. So they actually do cinch your legs.
You have to see this. She looks amazing.
I do these.
We're gonna do A video after.
We will for sure. Yeah. So I do these things all the time. You can do them all around your house. Just always do something, you know what I mean?
Even if you get up and you walk to my house and sometimes I'm just like have weights, I'll be sitting there, I'll just like use my weight, like whatever it is. Yes, I like the squat.
Yes. Cardio is extremely important. I mean, and you know, eating right, lots of water, all of that. But doing all of these little things. I will.
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Little things. You feel like I don't have time. It's like stairs and squats are the best, actually. Stairs and squats, the whole thing.
And then the sit ups before you, when you're, you know, listen, you got to lay down to go to bed. To go to bed, you're already lying down. You got to lie down to do sit ups. Just do them there. Do them when you wake up, you know, do like just say to yourself, I'm gonna do 30 to, you know, 50 sit ups before I go to sleep. And when I wake up and I.
Guarantee you in your bed, isn't there like, not enough. Doesn't matter. You can still do it, whatever. I mean, I haven't worked out in a week. I've been in Vegas. I feel like I'm like.
And then stretch your legs while you're at it so you can get that stretch because you know, you gotta stretch. Stretching is so important because if you don't, you're gonna, you're gonna get it. You're going to shrink, right?
It is true. We don't want to shrink.
Yeah.
But here's the thing that you said that's so interesting that so much about, I think the confidence that you get from. Because, because being a good dancer is all about being in touch with your body.
It's so true.
And like if you learn feel sexy by learning a move, it feels empowering to be able to do it. And you just feel sexy and you become connected to your body, which is what women need to have the most fulfilling sex. If you are disconnected and you're in your mind, you're talking about your left breast is bigger than your right breast. No one knows. But you're not gonna have good sex and you're not gonna have an orgasm and it's not gonna be fun.
And you know, there's a way you start feeling a diff, like a difference in your body in the way that you, you know, you arch your back a little bit more, you know, like you stick out the booty a little more, maybe you pull your shoulders back a little more. You lift, you. You know, you feel taller. And all of those things, you know, make a better line that we call it, like, in dancing. Like, you know, look at Baller. I always say.
Look at the bodies that you want. You want to have a dancer body. Look at the ballerinas. Look at the, you know, just dancers in general. And there's all these little things that you can do to get, you know, to get that kind of body or to get on the road to getting that kind of body. And you might be born with that long, lean body already, but, you know, you want to get the dancer muscles. And you want to also, like you were saying, you know, when you're in bed and you want to, you know, feel more confident, feel more sexy, I think dancing out of everything can. Can give you that, you know, that sort of great feeling right in the middle down here, exactly where you need it.
And we hold, like, a lot of memories and emotions. Yoga, like, do you ever take yoga? Like, I cry.
It's emotional dancing. And dancing is emotional. That's why, you know, look at you. Look at Dancing with the Stars. There's a reason why they all cry after. You know what I mean? It's not. It's not just like, tv. And, I mean, it really, truly makes you feel so emotional, you know, And. And I know that I feel like that all the time. And I'm, you know, I'm literally like every day. I'm. My assistant. Sarah said to me, she's like, you're always saying you're so sore. And I'm like, but that's. My body is always sore constantly because I'm always doing something, even if I'm not in dance class.
You're doing squats when you're brushing your teeth.
But I'm doing. But I'm doing sexy squats now. There's a difference between squat. Like, you know, like, we're gonna do.
A little video after just a little minute tease.
And, yeah, whatever. Whatever kind of workout you do, you gotta make it sexy, right? And, like, when you go to the gym, you know, it's not like you have to get dressed up and look like you're going like you're, you know, Beverly Hills housewife. But you. When I go to the gym, it's like, I just. That's me. And I think that every woman should do this, you know, put whatever it is just, you know, posture's important. You said that's like, posture is important, you know, and look at, you know, to get inspired. Look through, look through. Go and get, you know, Vogue magazine or, you know, or Self magazine or whatever that is, and get inspired by thing. When you put clothes on, you know, even whether you have great clothes or you only, you know, whether you can afford them or you can't, there's always a way to, you know, make yourself feel a little bit better, a little bit better. And every day, building that confidence and doing things that, you know, you have to, you have to look around you to get inspired.
That's a good, that's a really good point. Because a lot of people look around and they go, oh, she's scared. I can't look at it.
But really, there's other ways. Yeah.
I mean, get out of your head with that and be like, that's something I admire, what beauty she has.
Yeah. Now with Instagram, you know, you can, I mean, I go, I'm like going and looking at a bloggers and, you know, I get so inspired by the littlest things. It's not like I'm going and shopping.
What was the last thing that really inspired you?
I mean, I like, God. I mean, everything from. It might be a pair of jeans. I might just see, honestly, I might see a girl in a pair of jeans that look so good on her body, and I go, why do those look great on her body? And maybe I wear those jeans and maybe they don't look as good on mine. And I do little things like, oh, okay, she's got long legs so she can put them on and it looks great on her long leg. And I don't have that long leg. So I do things like, I need to cut the bottom of my jeans so they're not baggy at the ankle, because that's not sexy.
Not sexy.
You know what I mean? Little things like that. You know, now girls are, you know, ripping them and I actually do that myself.
I have a pair of ripped jeans.
Yeah, but it's. You can do that, but you can do that on your own. You can do all these little things that help create, you know, even like certain T shirts. Sometimes I, you know, I'll pin the back a little bit because I want to like, you know, accentuate maybe my waist.
A little body that you love that you feel good about.
Exactly.
For them.
Yeah. And the more you, like, study those kind of things, I mean, I have like the, My brain just works that way, but I think that you can kind of train yourself to do that. And if you just, you Know, spend some time looking around if you feel like you want to, you know, just get inspired, and maybe that will help build confidence. I mean, I think it does. It's not all about how you look all the time, but it's about.
It's just.
It's about how you feel.
Yeah, it's so. But you say, like. But you say every woman has, like, an inner pussycat dialogue, Right? So what is that the same kind of thing you're talking about, that you could bring that out?
Absolutely. It's all about, you know, the confidence that I know that every woman has inside. And, you know, it's about also trust. When I work with someone, I make sure that they trust me and that they know that I will never make them look bad and never do anything to.
You can tell. You're like a girl's girlfriend.
Yeah, I'm really caring, you know, I do. I care about people so much, and I care that for each person that I work with, I mean, you know, listen, celebrity or not celebrity, I mean, I work with a lot of girls, you know, that are just that are dancers that. That also may have that same thing. I just did the Emmys. I choreographed Weird Al's.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, I choreographed that whole number. Yeah, it was great.
Everywhere now.
Yeah, I know. So great. And it was the second time I got. I did the Emmys.
I.
The first one I did with Jimmy Fallon. I did the whole opening number for him when he did, like, all the. Yeah, you're everywhere. Tina Fey and everyone. It was so much fun. So. So this one, I hired all these beautiful girls, and to be honest, I mean, some of them, I had to pull it out of them, and I realized, like, wow, like, you're. You know, I hired you based on the way you look, but also, you know, I needed really good, solid dancers that had been really. That were trained, and there were a few that definitely had a harder time doing what I needed them to do, you know? Yeah, just. Just owning it and, you know, feeling confident. You're on stage, you're dancing in front of, you know, every huge movie star.
Right in front of you, staring at you.
They're right in front of you.
There's Oprah.
Yeah. And so better not have her judging. Exactly. And here we are. She's. You know, we're in rehearsal, and if you're not confident here, you are not going to be when you're sitting there. And, you know, so what do you.
You just have to keep training them and keep. Yeah, it's just about Know how to work with them and tell. This one needs this kind of.
Yeah. I mean, I'll get up and I'll show them.
I want to see you dance.
This is the way you do it. But it's also about.
You know, inspiring them and, you know, I think instilling just, you know, the confidence that I have in them.
Right.
So I am telling you that they can do. I believe in you. Exactly. Like, I know you can do it. And I know that I would never look at anyone and just think, sorry, you're never going to get that. It's like, you know, if that's my job, I have to make sure.
What age either, right? Because we have people listening all ages. It doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter. It doesn't.
What it is.
It's the way, you know, it's just. It's the way that you do it. It's the way. I mean, you know, if we're talking about actually, like, teaching someone how to do it, like, I'm gonna teach you how to dance, and you'll see. But it's. But it is. It's about trusting each other. And for anyone that, you know, maybe says, I, you know, I don't have the means to go to a dance class like this because the classes that I'm talking about, they're not everywhere right now. And we are talking about putting them out there in this way. But, you know, there are things that you can do for your body to feel sexier and feel more. And feel more confident. Like we were saying, you know, brushing your teeth, doing the squat lifts.
I'm totally doing that tonight because I didn't work out all of that.
And you know what? You can. You can also make up things on your own that are, you know, that are just that it's almost like you have to touch your body. Okay, don't be afraid of your body. You gotta touch your body. Touch, you know, your thighs, your. Your buns, your, you know, your hips. And maybe you have a little bit too much. You have like, the muffin top and all that. So you have to kind of like move around and see where the. You know, how your muscles are moving. So if you're staring at your body and you go, okay, if I move this way, it's gonna. This muscle is, you know, is being worked, right? And then if I go this way, this muscle, and then you. Then you can create almost your own moves.
I love this.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you.
It's not like you have to do what Everybody else is doing because you do squats and your thighs might get bigger, and that's not what you want. So you have to do things. I know it's kind of. But you have to do things that are. That work for your body and you can feel it if you really focus. You know, I've made up a million of my own moves.
Yeah. Okay. How did you. But you first got into it because of, like, you were burlesque dancing or you love burlesque.
I was. I just always loved to dance since I was very young.
You're young? Like, how old?
Yeah, I mean, you know. Well, so my niece is seven. I started dancing. I started actually, like, finding out that I actually loved it when I was 9. And I, you know, with my niece, I know that, you know, she goes in and out of, like, she does hip hop and then she does ballet, and she does all these different things. And I keep telling her, you know, it's gonna. Soon, you're gonna have to get focused. And yes, you can do all those different things, but you have to love all of them. Like, when I started really training to be. To become a professional dancer, I had to love. I had to take a million ballet classes and love it. A million jazz classes and love it, you know, street. All these different. At that time, we called it street.
Now it's hip hop.
But I. But I did. I worked so hard, and I was not one of those dancers that was. That would walk in and be like.
You, like, preternaturally, like, you had to train.
I was in the bat. And I still, to this day, it's like I watch everyone else. And that's how I get inspired. I'm not like, you know, now I go in the front of some of the classes because. Because I'm confident. But let me tell you something. When I'm in dance class, I. I honestly do. I lose confidence sometimes? Not the. Even when I'm teaching. I have to say, like, when I.
Get up, say that. They didn't get that. Did I say left? I meant right. Right. Yeah.
And they're all looking at you and staring at you. I mean, it's scary.
It's scary.
It's not easy, you know, so it's like I have to.
If I sit behind a microphone, no one can see me right now.
Right? No, but. Well, think about, like, even when you.
First started, you know, I mean, I was terrified started. I was live on the reaction.
It's scary. I mean, even now, it's like I came in, I would say when we first started, of course, it's like, I think when you have the butterflies in your stomach, when you have that feeling of a little bit nervous, I actually think it's a really good thing, and it's because you love it, and you can turn that into a positive thing as opposed to, you know, I'm too scared, and I could never do this.
You know, I was just saying this to somebody. I don't. A friend of mine that. She's like, I'm really scared. I'm really nervous. I'm like, that's when you grow.
Exactly.
When you are scared and you're nervous and you got the butterflies, you're about to grow.
Exactly.
How often do you have that experience? Not very often. So we don't think we can deal with it well. But if you persevere and you push through it, then you learn something new. You grew. You survived. You didn't die. You're there, you know?
Yeah. People that think, like, I have really nothing else to learn. I've been, you know, I've learned all the dance that I can learn. I've learned all that. I don't need to work on my voice. I don't need to.
Or.
Or anything. Or anything you're doing or acting or whatever is. Or work. Any kind of work. I don't need to learn. Everyone wants to learn. We love to learn. You know, that makes it. It makes your brain. You know, keeps your brain healthy.
I mean, you're still learning. You're still dancing every day.
Oh, my God. I love it, and I want it. You know, I always have this, like, dream. I want to perform on stage and. And do, like, Chicago.
You really haven't stopped.
Well, I know. I. I performed in the Pussycat Dolls. Yeah. I was in the group, right?
You were in the group.
I was actually really in the group.
Right.
For how long? For, like, 10 years.
Oh, you were? Okay. Got it.
Yeah. I thought club shows I was a part of. You know, I was one of the girls. And then when I turned it into the recording group, I took myself out, and it was a big decision. Big deal for me. Yeah. Because I had to make a decision. Like, you know, now this is business. And, you know, and I knew that it was gonna be hard because all of a sudden I was sitting back and looking at all the girls and feeling, you know, it wasn't like. Like a jealousy thing. It was like, I. I want. I. I know that I. That's what I've always wanted, but at the same time, my brain has always Worked on the business side. Like, I'm. You know, that's just.
No, but that's amazing because it's not easy to be the artist and the business person, which I've had to learn the hard way. When I kept just thinking, oh, I'm just gonna do show. People love my show. I'll just make money. They'll roll it. No, you got to shift your br. I wasn't thinking like that.
Yes.
The first, you know, long time on my show, very long time until I had no money. I was like, okay, I gotta focus on business. But it's not natural. But you have to. To create, to be an artist and to make a living. So how do you think. What was the pivotal moment? Like, how did Pussy Pussycat Girls become such an amazing success and still. Still are.
I think that, you know, it was the combination of the. Well, it's.
It.
When you have women that love what you do, it's definitely a key to success because women are loyal. Women will stick with you. No pun intended. That was one of our songs.
Stick with you.
But I had the women in the palm of my hand.
You know what I mean? The women, the audience, the females, girls.
Yes, the audience.
They loved it, right?
The fans. Crazy. And they wanted to be. They wanted to. They saw something that they identified with.
What do you think that was?
And that was.
Confidence.
And just sex. Sex. Sexy, sexual. All of that. What it all means, you know, so women, you know, all of our female audience would look at it and go, I want. I either know what it is, I want to find out what it is. I feel like I've never had it. I want to find it again.
It's aspirational.
It's aspirational. All of the above. So it's something that we really.
You.
Know, I really connected into that world. And they identified with us. We identified with them. And I made them feel like they could be. They really could actually be a Pussycat doll. And that. That's always been my intention, you know, to make them feel that way. And then the men, I would say, are easy, right?
The men are easy. The men are easy because they, like.
They just love watching hot girls dancing and. And showing it. And. You know what I mean? Like, you know, we're in corsets and garters and fishnets.
Anderson, did you watch Pussy Pussy Got Dolls?
Yes.
Too many clothes.
Oh, Anderson, that's so not.
You see, that was the part that. That was where I got smart, though, because, yeah, you know, everyone else was taking off their clothes and I was like, well, how about this? I'm gonna take Pussycat Dolls to Vegas, and we're gonna do shows where we're gonna tease.
Oh, so you kind of like, he's.
Looking at me like, no.
Are you flattered by all the imitations? Cause, I mean, it's really back. And I'm sure that you can, you know, pat yourself on the back for that one. Right?
I know, right?
I look at it, I'm like, really? You know, But I mean, I don't know if there has there ever been one that's been.
Who do you think?
I mean, I don't know. Don't ask me. Because actually, you know what? The wife would probably love to go to see these things. She just doesn't have time. But, yeah, come back in a year and I'll know more.
Yeah, the wife is. So that's why also, what's successful is like, you know, the couples can go. Couples can go. The wife feels safe.
The men are safe. Because, you know, my girls are.
Are.
They're all nice girls.
They're hot, right?
They're hot, but they're nice.
You make them nice.
You make them nice. Encourage them. You're obviously a good business manager, A good manager, good boss, which is important. It is. And I mean, that's. I think that a lot of the sex can be attributed to sex, success, Everything.
Sex, sex.
Have you ever gone to, like, one of the cheap imitators and kind of, like, sat in the back just to kind of see what's going on?
Yes, of course I have.
I.
Does it make you feel better about everything you're doing?
I just look at it and I go. And I think, you know, there's that thing that they. That. I hate saying it, but it's true. It's like they don't have that. That thing is. I've worked my ass off for so many years not saying that, you know, a lot of those people out there haven't, but I've done. I think when people ask me, like, well, what is it that's so different about what you've done? And my. My brain has created something that's like a hybrid of so many different genres and inspirations from, you know, as far as music, like, from punk rock music to rock and roll to, you know, burlesque, you know, bump and grind. So I put it. Oh, yeah. I put it all in there.
Secret recipe.
I know, I know.
But no one could beat. No one could do. She's done it all.
But then taking. Yeah. And then taking, like The. The choreography and putting it not, you know, not always putting, like, the sexy choreography with, like, the sexy song, you know, maybe the sexy choreography goes with the song. You'd be like, whoa, I would have never thought that. Or vice versa. So I just. I do. I keep mixing it up and keep changing it and doing all these kind of, like, weird things that. And bringing. And then bringing in the, you know, celebrities. Didn't hurt.
Speaking of which, is there one, like, superstar celebrity that's on your wish list that you would love to work for?
Yeah, Jennifer Lopez.
Oh, I mean, how's that gone?
Have you tried?
I mean, it's obvious because she's, you know, she's Jennifer Lopez. She knows that I would like that. But no, we haven't. It hasn't been like a. Jennifer, I need you to do this. But I always think that one day, hopefully soon, if I do the Pussycat Dolls like, story, you know, it's a great story.
It is again.
Oh, my God. I mean, are you thinking, like, Broadway? If we had 40 hours. It's the most insane story. I mean, it's not just like, you know, built a girl group and then, you know, so many crazy things. But there was actually an E. True Hollywood story on it. But it. But it stopped too early. You know what I mean?
Right. There wasn't.
They didn't. Well, yeah, they didn't continue the story. So I always think that I want to do. I do want to do, like, a Broadway show of the, you know, story from the beginning, like, from my point of view. Like, from my girl.
Yeah, exactly. And then, you know, or like a film. So I always think Jennifer Lopez would be the perfect girl to play me.
Oh, my God. We should just. We're sending that out into the universe.
Yes. Okay.
We're gonna make that happen. It's a good question. Okay, we only have few more minutes, but I want to know. I have. So what do you think? I have so many more questions for you. But. But what about for. For men? Like, what's the sex? What's the thing that you find sexist in a man? Like, is it the way. I mean, yes, we might say confidence. That's one thing. But is it the way. How could we. What can you tell men about getting more confident? How do you explain that? I was like, what do you mean, Emily? I'm like, I try.
I think. I mean, what I love about a confident man, that in my eyes, confidence is. And I have three brothers that are definitely confident, you know, like, in different ways. The two older and one younger. But, you know. Know, they all. The younger one acts like he's right, you know, my father. But they're very. They're all very confident. I think that it's about kind of just like. Oh, God, it's so hard to explain.
Like.
Right.
Yeah. Clean your body. Yeah. Be comfortable.
Yeah. And like. And, like, just kind of.
Can they do squats? Brushing their teeth, even.
I mean. Okay. Dressing for, you know, dressing is very important, the way that they dress. But I like a guy who just wears the most simple T shirt that just happens to hang on his body in the right way. But he didn't try.
Didn't spend more time getting ready than you.
Exactly. He just throws on the T shirt, throws on the right pair of jeans. He's got the. You know, whether they're sneakers or. I mean, I like a really. I like casual. Like, really casual. And of course, I like, like a man in. In a beautiful suit as well. I do love that. And I do love. I mean, I like guys that have a sense of style, that really understand style and know how to put it together without, like, you know, working at it so hard. But I like to go shopping with my guy.
And you redo them? I.
You know. I mean, yeah. I mean, not. Not redo, but like, you know, hey, I got you this cool T shirt. It's like, I. Yeah, things like that. But I also like a guy who can tell me.
What looks good. And I. There aren't. Yeah. There aren't many guys out there that have been able.
One of my guys that I was dating, he'd come over and I just did my jean thing. I'm like, I got 50 pairs of jeans. I gotta get rid of half of them. How's my ass? And this. He sit on my bed drinking wine. He's like, I like that. I don't like that. I'm like, that's all I do. Because my girlfriends aren't gonna tell me.
Yeah. I mean, that's sexy. But that's sexy to me.
We do sexy fashion shows.
Exactly.
You know, come over for a sexy fashion show. Yeah. Never play with my sex toys.
That guy must have been gay.
No, he's not gay. He's not. Good taste. He's awesome. He's my Robin.
To answer your question.
Yeah.
I know it's probably seems too easy, but Catherine Zeta Jones just seems like she'd be the perfect fit, right?
Well, she would, but she did Chicago, and so she kind of already did that, but that's why it's kind of.
An easy choice, but it seems like she's amazing.
Yeah, she's. Yeah, she was so good.
Yeah. There's so many now you're gonna, you're gonna go home. You're like, wait, I have the perfect. So if you write, if you happen to see her on the street, whoever it is, I'll tell her, tell her to contact me.

Hey, guys, have you ever heard of a massage candle? Well, it looks like a regular candle, but it instantly turns to massage oil after you light it. It's aromatherapy. Smells amazing. Maybe thinking, why do I need a massage candle? Well, massage gets your partner in the mood. We're talking all about body compensating, relaxing so much. We have so much tension in our bodies. You can relax your body, your partner's body, set the mood. And for my listeners, this is all I got to say to this. This is directly to me or dear Emily. My girlfriend was skeptical at first, but I agreed to try the warm oil on me first, and she gave me a back rub. Then I reciprocated and we had amazing sex. She could not stop talking about how good the candle smells, how great the massage oil feels. And I'm convinced that the scent in the candle helped us through some of the barriers to sex we have faced lately. So I created these candles so you can have the best sex of your life.

He got me. No, he got me a really bad deal.
