EPISODE 45: HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY! MY MOM THE SEX WORKER
When I started working at Playboy TV, people immediately began to ask me how I was going to “explain my job” to my daughter. Strangely, I was never asked that question about any of the other places I worked. After all, I spent years working at NBC and never once was I asked to explain Supertrain. But after I became Head of Programming at Playboy TV, I was repeatedly asked how I was going to justify my job to a 4 year old.
Turns out, my kid didn’t have a problem. On the other hand, there were one or two very judgmental moms at her fancy private school who, after finding out where I worked, tried to make things extremely difficult for me. And the most famous mom of all, was my biggest hater.
Which only proves, no matter where you go, there are always mean girls.
My guest, columnist and reporter Ray Richmond, had a much different experience. His mother went from giving hand jobs to movie stars in a seedy massage parlor across from FOX, to founding a lucrative sex product empire. That’s right, a tiny, Jewish mother working in a “rub and tug” is the Godmother of the multi-billion dollar lube and sex toy industry.
And the best/most unbelievable part of this story is that her X-rated enterprise was entirely bankrolled by her boyfriend — a well-known Los Angeles restaurateur who also happened to be a married, devout Christian, anti-smut crusader.
Wait, what???
And THAT’S not even the craziest part.
This is a true story about religious faith, true love, and lubrication.
You are not going to believe this.
AND, as part of our special Holiday Giveaway, the fine folks at Überlube (a Chicago-based company not at all affiliated with Ray’s mother) have donated their amazing lubricant.
