In the McCarthy hearings that are currently going on the message board GFY, Kevin Blatt, based on some of his most recent rants including those aimed at AVN and Dave Cummings, is openly asked 32 questions by Sleazy Dream. www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=10416. Here Blatt tackles several more questions

4. How come it seems that you’re on the outs with everyone you’ve worked for in the past?

It may appear to be that way to some people- However all I can say is this- Some companies took very good care of me

Some companies FUCKED me. There are many people reading this thread hoping I will trip up and violate my confidentiality clauses I signed

But keep in mind- when people settle out of court with you- it means they are either guilty- or simply don’t want to incur further legal expenses

I think if you ask company owners like: Mac and Bumble’s Tore; Rick Muenyoung The original owner of YNOTTom @ Bluegravity, gary@joebucks, david at Redlight District Dean atWhos-live PaoloTriple X Cashand others about me you’ll find they have no problems with me- and I tried my best to rep each and everyone one of them

I’d also like to say that the Mensniche guys are a great company to work for and many people feel I don’t like them or in fact hate them. That is not the case

I am on the “outs” with people who don’t want to be discovered for who they truly are- I have been known to be a “Whistle Blower” and have in the past called bullshit where it needed to be called.

There are many people in this business who “fear me” more than they love me, and only because of my connections to the media and the gossip rags-

I have learned after 8 yrs in this biz- sometimes it truly is better to be FEARED THAN LOVED.

Being loved just got me fucked over by everyone- Being feared makes me more money and attracts far more attention to me and my clients.

7. Talk about addiction (drug, booze) and your perosnal battles with both. Ever been caught (arrested) for anything realted to drug use or sale? Are you on any medication now? Do you remember to take it?

At this time I am not taking any kind of prescribed medication- this is a lost leader of a question-

A while back I was prescribed a mood stabilizer by the name of LEXAPRO for mood swings-

I was focused on it, did a lot of work, and felt great .

There was only one problem…NO LIBIDO. So I got off that crap and got prescribed a small dosage of Xanax which I only take during bouts of panic attacks- which I get seldomly.

As far as addiction is concerned, I was never the addict that would wake up in the morning and not know where I was- In fact I still struggle with calling myself an addict-

I d now admit I am a person with an addictive personality and that does make me an addict.

I am not an alcoholic, I hate booze. I smoked a lot of weed in my life and did the occasional outdoor concert on shrooms- I was never a huge tripper or X freak. I had some horrible relaionships as well

I just loved to be a recreational user of Coke- Coke in the music and radio business is ubiquitous. It’s used as currency and hence it gets a lot of people caught in a trap they never seem to get out of-

I would go months not doing it- then I’d spend a weekend locked in my house with a bunch of girls partying for three days. When the girls are Penthouse Pets , pornstars, and strippers you can see where that behavior can get addicting and destructive-

I have saved three people’s lives getting them sober- Kicking Heroin was the hardest thing I have ever seen a person go through-

After that event- I decided to go get this peron help by attending a 12 step program. I hav to be honest when I say I know it does a lot of good for a lot of people- however the meetings generally depress me more and I end up leaving feeling really sad for people I know I will see fall off the wagon and even die-

I have imbibed and I am of the belief that cocaine is a serious life ending drug- I know a lot of people reading this are laughing about this saying they just partied with me not that long ago and you know what?

That was in my past. Now I just have to take life one day at a time and surround myself with “winners” and not “losers”

8. Why havn’t you started your own program with your brother? I heard you tried a few times?

I explained in an earlier friend that my brother and I are very close- he is my REAL brother, my best friend and a great guy to be around. he is one of the most generous people you’ll ever meet as well-

I just have seen too many families and friends torn apart from business relationships. My parents were a clear example of this years ago.

My bro and I did try to launch a paysite for pimpandho.com about a year and a half ago with the famous rapper- Too Short.

Scheduling problems with him touring, a problem with a webmaster who left for Hungary to hide form people set us back months- we finally realized it wasn’t the right opportunity for us at that time. I call it a blessing in disguise. I am still very friendly with Todd ” Too Short” and I do business with him when I can in the form of bookings, appearances and endorsement deals.

Also to be quite honest with you, when I started in this business I was very cynical- I truly believed what everyone was doing online was illegal and would be stopped when the credit card companies and surfers realized tha they were being dinged monthly- Back then it wasn’t uncommon to see those surfers even get double and triple billed of course these things were chalked up as stat malfunctions and “glitches” but people made blood money.

when SPAM came along , again I felt it was dangerous and not an intelligent thing to attach myself to. I sat back and watched my friends make MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

Am I bitter? NO. Why?I see the problems daily that many webmasters face today-I deal and have dealt, with a broad spectrum of clients that run the gamut- from dating sites to sex toys, penis pills, to celebrity sex tapes- I have seen some products marketed effectively and pan out to make millions… I saw other people get sued by Microsoft, the DOJ, and also Paris Hilton and Rick Saloman Law firms. LOL

In the end with the new legislation being propsed for 2257 as wel las this bastardization of .XXX

I have never felt better about not having the responsibilties of being a web owner-

Look, I may take jabs at a lot of people and have had my go rounds with a lot of webmasters but I think it’s important for me to say that I think that it takes big balls to run a program and pay webmasters on time, I also think the risks some of you take are pioneering and gutsy.

I may not like some of you…but I DO HOWEVER RESPECT SOMEONE WHO HAS THE NUTS TO BE A WEBMASTER.

More so today than ever-

My business model is simple, I am subcontracted for a monthly fee + over rides and do special promotions for national TV people that incorporate their brands and bring them to the mainstream press in way that doesn’t make our business look malevolent. I implement marketing strategies that are effective- either in the form of cross promotional marketing, viral marketing or direct marketing

I do this better than anyone in this business.

I am clean cut, (somewhat of a preppy), I have no criminal record, and I am well spoken.

As a lawyer once said about me during the height of the Paris Hilton Scandal ” KB I got to hand it to you, I was Rick Saloman’s Attorney and was the one who tried to serve you and turn your life upside down”….

He glanced over the table, looked me square in the eye and said to me

” You know I went through miles of papers, watched every TV appearance you made, and listened to every morning radio show you did surrounding our case against you and sexbrat- I have to take my hat off to you- You never slipped up once, and everything you said was within your legal rights, and you never defamed anyone or gave up more information than was needed” ” You also made your industry look more like a business than freakshow”

I also helped that same attorney with the Cameron Diaz case I cannot talk too much about-

Let’s just say, this powerful law firm is most grateful of my good deeds, and I have gained a new attorney and a great friend from that entire ordeal

One who represents Bill Clinton, Schwartzenegger, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas and Paula Abdul-

And you can never have too many friends like that. By the way Cameron likes what I did for her as well. I may get a XMAS card this year

All in all – with my business model I am A-OK because it’s very hard to SHOOT THE MESSENGER

9. Are you a real pimp? What exactly is a real pimp?

Pimp n. Someone who acquires a prostitute for customers or vice versa and shares the profits of the person’s activities. The pimp is supposed to protect the prostitutes, but will often threaten, brutalize, rape, cheat, and induce drudge addiction of the prostitutes. Pimps commit the crime of pandering.

I know JMan will love my definition of P.I.M.P I am a Professional Internet Marketing Person

PIMP- I also like to say the word stands for “Put In My Pocket” That was told to me by a real PLAYER HIMSELF

The Archbishop Don Magic Juan.

I consider myself a pimp for two reasons- one is the legal definition- I have brokered introductions in the past to discreet gentlemen- I have sent clients to the Bunnyranch

A LEGAL BROTHEL IN NV.

My brother and I have joined an elite fraternity of real pimps and players through our promotion of the Players Ball.Th etruth of the matter is whenever you glance around one of our shows- you see a few real “macks” walking around- This is because the word is out on th street that D$ and KBizzle are two cats that are “down”

Most real pimps look up to us, the online biz- we as they like to call it- “Stepped up their game”

Real pimpin’ is an art form that has been in existence for a LONG time- it is the world’s oldest profession.

We are all pimps or ho’s in this business one way or another. It depends on how you look at it-

For the most part I think we’ll all be in agreement that we make money off of people having sex. Those people are PAID for their services.

Sometimes the initial investment is as low as $150 for a BJ scene (cough cough ) Dave Cummings.

I don’t have to tell you how much profit the content companies and website operators can make off that $150 scene but we all know it’s PIMPING.

Real Pimps differ in one regard however- They get 100% of what their bitches take in- they take care of their girls out of their money

At least we pay PPS or Rev Share

:-))

LOL

13. How long have you been friends with Aly?

I have been friends with Aly Drummond for a long time- I first met Aly somewhere around 2000 when we both spent our time on the road speaking on panels for Ron Levi’s AWE shows- Portland, Denver, LA, Atlanta, Seattle, I can’t even remembr the other cities now- my mind is drawing a blank

For those of you who weren’t around for these shows – you truly missed out. It was the very first “smaller show” for webmasters and it was a travelling webmaster resource board- mostly comprised of folks who frequented Adult Netsurprise.

Aly represented Python and moderated a lot of the shows- I spoke on behalf of HerbalO and taught people the value of the upsell potential with Herbal Tonics.

Aly and I became very close when she moved to San Diego and moved into Gary’s Kremen’s house.

She flopped there for about 8 or 9 mos I believe and we spent many a night over there chilling out in the hot tub and philosophizing about how we would eventually take over the world.

I have shared a lot of my life with Aly as she has with me about hers-

We cried on each others shoulders when we had bad relationships- and we cheered for each other when we found our new “loves”-

I have met her parents who I absolutely adore, and have been fortunate enough to have had dinner with her folks one night here in San Diego which was an evening I’ll never forget-

Her parents are very straight, educated, and charming people. I was told to be on my best behavior and nNOT talk about our jobs or what we did for a living-

I remember her father asking me what I did for a living and if I worked with Aly with what she did- ( although we never corroborated stories)

I remember one of those long uncomfortable pauses and me saying something to the effect of ” I broker traffic for large volume websites”

I also think it was at that point Gary began kicking me under the table- ahahahaha

Well let’s just say Aly’s father is as precocious as Aly, and he continued to ask me even more questions in great detail- I was sweating like Scott Peterson…

I now know he HAD to have known what we all did for a living and I bet he just wanted to see our reactions

He got an Academy winning performance from me that night

Aly has been a dear friend, and I do truly cherish my friendship with her and miss her now that she has moved up to LALA Land-

14. How ‘real’ is your board persona?

My board persona is just that, a PERSONA. Look it’s no secret this board loves drama…

This board also likes to hear dirt and salacious gossip. It’s a fact. How else do you describe the amount of posts in a thread in which I personally attack someone for not paying me or talking shit- and it gets 10,000 views plus

Other threads like ” We are paying webmasters $50 a sale” Or “Reasons why you should join the FSC”get less priority and considerably less views and it’s a shame -but people really do enjoy a good car wreck.

I think I must clarilfy one thing however- Anytime you see me posting I am usually shamelessly promoting a good company I rep, or adding some “flavor” to another thread through my use of humor and my background experiences with individuals-

Most of the time people should take me with a grain of salt- I have often told people the reason I don’t do my radio show anymore, and the reasons I don’t post useful information on boards is quite simple-

It took me years of getting screwed and eating a lot of crow to get where I am. Nobody sat me down and explained HTML or how a website even worked back in 98-99 I was kind of left to fend for myself. I have to thank a lot of people along the way however.

I got quite a decent education from meeting some people on this very board as well as others like: Netpond, YNOT a Adult Netsurprise and Oprano.

Call me selfish, but the reason I consult with companies and share my vast knowledge about people, places and things in this bsuiness is because that is how I make my money- Why should I give people a heads up or teach someone how to make their money for free here?

I also think most people don’t get my sense of humor and style. A lot of people find me to be an arrogant twat and a big ballon filled with hot air. I always get a smile on my face after meeting someone from a board in person and after spending some “quality time” with them I get the same ubiquitous answer ” WOW KB!, you are nothing like the person I perceived you as being, you are a funny, nice guy”

That always warms the cockles of my heart. I always look forward to meeting new people or putting peoples’ face with their nick’s on this board.

Anyone who has ever spent some time with me knows that I am a person who always calls it as I see it, I am as loyal as the day is long, and if you fuck with me I just don’t lay down and play dead.

I have been in this business for 8 yrs. Ihave seen people get promoted into positions they have no business being in, I have seen hot shots come and go, I posess one the web’s best Bullshit detectors and I do think a lot of people fear me for the knowledge I have about their businesses or because of my contacts worry they may tell me too much sometimes-

It’s funny because I used to get accused of being a leak to people like Luke Ford.

Now I “seed” people with bad information. and watch the seeds come back. I learn real quick, who is talking to who-and who to trust and who not to trust.

I once had a man in this busines tell me a long time ago in this business ” It’s better to be feared , than loved”

While I generally love and care about everyone- including my enemies, I hate to admit it , but he is turning out to be right.

The more fear people have of me lately, the more money I seem to be making.

I guess I should say goodbye to Mr. Nice Guy?

I hope a lot of people love me in the end- cause I have really met some super people in this business.

For every hundred great webmasters I meet out there- there are about 4 or5 of them I consider total scumbags-

4-5% isn’t so bad. When I was in radio I worked in an environment that was about 90% douchebags…

So while the Online Adult business may be the lowest rung on the ladder of the “Entertainment Business” It sure does have a great cast of characters and it’s share of “good ones” .

15. Is it true you hop jobs faster than you hop hoes? How many business cards have you had? Have you ever lost a job while your business cards were being made and not received them yet?

This is another one of those falseshoods I’d like to disspell.

First off, I have NOT had a job ( a job constitutes being in an office everyday and getting a steady paycheck and medical beneifts)

Since I worked for Sex Toy Network back in 2002- Since then, all my jobs have been consulting jobs And part of my consulting is that I give my employers full use of ME- I am my own brand-

That’s why you see all the business cards and think I am jumping from job to job- It happens to be the best way for other people to discredit me and make me look like a flake- when in essence my business dealings are with companies that want to use my knowledge and my rolodex for 3, 6, 9, or even 12 mos WITHOUT having to pay me medical, dental, taxes, etc-

I am very affordable when you look at the increasing cost of medical insurance- I pay all of my bills, and my own benefits – as well as ALL OF MY TAXES.

I lov when people try to make me look like I can’t hold a job, it just shows how little they know about me or my business dealings

16. Do you like birds? discuss

No. I have a little phobia of birds that started when I was young and til this day I still cannot stand them.

It was a BIG joke at D$’s wedding too- For over a year I had heard every little detail they had planned for their happy day-

What they didn’t tell me until the day before the wedding was that they were releasing 100 doves into the air after D$ and J$ said they vows-

It was an unreal wedding and anyone there can attest to this- however I had to literally pull myself together as I was the best man.

The birds sat behind me in two wicker baskets and were covered for most of the wedding- All I remember was everyone looking at me during D’s wedding wondering if my legs were going to buckle and give way-

The birds made a “cooing” sound behind me for 45 mins and I wanted to die- When they released the birds I had a little anxiety attack.

This is why you see me jump around birds- That and the fact that my brother tortured me with his little parakeet “Skeeter” when we were young-

There are more stories – I ‘d rather not get into

17. How do you personally measure success in life?

I measure my success in terms of happiness and healthiness.

I have had a LOT of friends of mine die to young- Including a best friend. I learned over the course of my 36 yrs, that life is way too short and you should treat every night as if it were your first, and everyday as if it were your last.

I consider myself a wealthy person in that I have many wonderful friends, a great brother and sister in law, and I still have my parents.

I lost both set of grandparents over the course of the last 20 yrs, and I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to have known them, and for them to see the various levels of accomplishment that I attained while they were still alive.

I also consider myself a success in that I truly believe I know more webmasters than anyone else in this business.

I have spent a lot of years networking myself and doing favors for others to get where I am today. Obviously being featured in many mainstream TV shows, papers, and radio shows is also a real testimonial to my history and knowledge of this business.

Oh sure I have ” haters” out there- and I love them all If they didn’t hate- I wouldn’t have any power-

The next time you see someone “hating” on me- Ask yourselves this question ” Has the person who is ripping on “KB” ever been on 20/20? Rolling Stone Magazine? E Channel? NY TIMES? Wall ST Journal? VH-1? MTV? Howard Stern?Mancow? The Globe Magazine? National Enquirer? Tech TV? MSNBC? BBC Television? Channels 4 and 5; FOX News

I could keep going on- but I have to say my success is easily measured when you take into consideration I am the ONE THAT GETS THE FIRST CALL WHENEVER THERE IS A STORY ON INTERNET PORN, CELEBRITY SEX TAPES, OR PORN HISTORY FOR MAINSTREAM MEDIA-

MAINSTREAM MEDIA= COPIUS AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC

Also ask yourselves why you believe everything you read on a chatboard when many of the people frequenting don’t have two nickels to rub together in their pockets?

Don’t HATE APPRECIATE.

18. Is it financially beneficial to cause drama on the boards?

I don’t know- that still yet remains to be seen, I am still working and not retired yet- Then again so are Trey ( Pimpdogg) and Brad Shaw

The only person I knew who made it truly work for them, and is somewhat wealthy from it, is SERGE BIRBAIR.

I always liked Serge cause he’d always get it right- Whether people cared to admit it or not- he was on the money most of the time.

All I know is that I recently had an awakening in Puerto Rico while I was there filming my reality TV show, and I finally relaized that I have way more to contribute to society than just sitting around informing people about new things to jack off to-

While I am still quite passionate about the biz, I also have seen where it has taken it’s toll in my personal life.

I have yet to meet a nice girl, settle down, or get married I have no children and I don’t own any pets.

I like being me- It’s no secret it’s my favorite subject :-))

Like me or hate me- I like to call a “spade” a “spade”

I have a vast knowledge of people in this business- Where they come from, who they truly are- and why they ned to d business the way they do their business-

I can see where a lot of people are intimidated by me, and hoping they don’t ever piss with me- for fear that I may drop a bomb I can substantiate later.

“Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.” –Alfred Hitchcock

19. How many people in the industry have you pissed off? Do you care?

There is no doubt in my mind I have caused a few embolisms over the course of the last 8 yrs-

I have pissed off some of the best :-))

If I had to name a couple of people that I know of of hand that rank among some of the most pissed- I’d have to say this would be my list of the people I knowingly pissed off:

10).Mensniche; 9).an herbal tonics company; 8). Big E; 7). Ynot; 6). Paul Nash from xxxcash.com; 5). Evan and Michael for my incessant posting whne they used to tell me not to.; 4). Sless formerly of Vivid; 3). WEG Cash; 2). JMM/ Dave Cummings; 1). Andy Edmond

I’d have to say out of all of them I enjoyed pissing off Andy the most as well- anyone see hm lately??:-))

21. How many conventions do you attend a year? Favorites?

I attend as many as I can. I traditionally do a lot of the west coast shows now as I really hate air travel these days

I love LENSMAN’S SHOWS. I dig the Cybernet Expo and feel it’s a nice show to network. My favorite show these days however is CC Bill’s Phoenix Forum. That show was so well run, and a real blast to be a part of- Every show offers something different- and ultimately I believe the tradeshows are only as good as the people attending them.

The old Jamaica trips were the ultimate trips for me. I met so many wonderful people on those trips with Dokk- and the best part- no business was really discussed. it was more about bonding with certain individuals and getting to know a lot of the people on a personal level-

Big ups to my main Mon Dokk!

I used to love AVN’s shows until they commercialized it and turned it into Disneyland.

I just don’t like going to shows where I get hit up more from people trying to sell me shit I don’t need than anything.

I hate having my badge scanned and my email box cluttered with follow up emails from the show that aren’t even personalized-

I will be in Vegas- but I don’t know if I’ll be o the showfloor- the Players Ball has proven to be a great place to network and make big business deals happen- and we don’t have to throw them as a part of any AVN show

Webmasters know how to find us

24. Who do you work for now? How long to you plan to or think you will work for them?

I curently rep several different companies- Like I said, I work for myself in that I consult for many companies and rep several different kinds of products. My main focus right now is with helping Mobbucks.com increase their visibility and helping them attain some decent traffic-

My deal with them is for three mos- I just finished my first month- or promotional month with them. This month we focus on getting quality tarffic, ad buys, and reaching out to webmasters with a hell of a promotion.

This is the month I will be calling lot’s of you, and hoping to put you together with one hell of a company- MOBBUCKS.COM.

I look forward to working with many of the old faces I have dealt with for years, as well as some of you newer webmasters out there that have TGP’s

Either way, this company deserves to be noticed. They are sharp, witty guys who know how to take care of people as well as they have a great program.

The Mobbucks.com guys are in this for the long haul- and I know they will be a company that will be here for a long time paying webmasters on time very month.

25. Are you a flake?

Hardly- I do what I say I am going to do- I always keep my appointments and always show up to my meetings at least 15 minutes early.

It was something I was taught at a very young age in the sales game- always be on time or early and always keep your meetings.

I always follow up as well, after meeting with people- it’s just the way business is done.

26. What did you do before adult for work? How many jobs did you have before adult?

Oh this is such a great question , however there were so many I cannot even count them!

Some of my highlights include however Being the youngest sales rep in the history of a Men’s Clothing Store named Gentry Shops in Ohio

I ran concert venues in Cleveland, Ohio; Peabody’s Down UNder in the Flats as well as The Empire Concert club

Back in 88-90, We did shows like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Isley Bros, Tracy Chapman, NIN, Enuff ZNuff- GWAR , Brooks and Dunne to Mary Anne Faithful and Johnny Winter- Every night we had a different live show with bands that ran the gamut form Blues- ( John Lee Hooker) to Rock Tommy Cochrane, Robbie Krieger, Eric Burdon, you name them we booked them.

I really enjoyed working with Lloyd Cole, Elvis Costello, Henry Rollins, Trent Reznor, and others. When I went to work for Playhouse Sq I did a “runner” job whee I’d get whatever it was the artists wanted- there I worked with the Smothers Bros- to Nelson I enjoyed working with Judy Collins and Liza Minelli- great people!

I then went on to being a strip club DJ/ manager working for every strip club in cleveland- I made a lot of cash and had a lot of connections with concerts and such – so I always had a hottie on my arm everywhere I went.

That lifestyle was a rough one for me- as I never saw daylight and considered myself a Vampire who smelled of “sweat soaked dollar bills” some of them smelled like FDS spray as well..yuck!

My brother and I started many successful MLM ‘s and sold pictures and Dri-Wash and Guard ( a waterless car wash) door to door. I feel to this day that was my formal education to the world of hustling.

Other highlights were working for radio stations WNCX 98.5 in Cleveland 91X in San Diego as well as 94.1 The Eagle in San Diego.

I worked as an A&R guy fro Trevel Productions in Cleveland as well – i was the token white boy working in the hood for artists like LEVERT, the O’Jays ( Rock and Roll Hall of Famers), Men at Large, and the Rude Boys ( Grammy Award Winners)

I also helped to raise a lot of money to have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum built in the “Home Of Rock and Roll” Cleveland Ohio

It’s true that the phrase ” Rock and Roll” was coined in Cleveland in Public Square at a Record Store that my father used to work at called, Record Rendezvous- the owner’s name was Leo Mintz and was my best friends grandfather- and he had his dear friend and Cleveland DJ there all the time Alan Freed- It ws he that coined the name, Rock And Roll.

I went on to manage many bands in Cleveland like the “Yielding” and was at the very first show NIN ever played- Trent Reznor ws a good friend back in the day- Worked with Trent closely. I knew Trent when he was cleaning toilets and we would jam together along with my bass player at the time and best friend, Mackay Gazdak- (RIP)

I managed Reggae Legend, EEK A MOUSE along with my brother D$ in San Diego.

I also worked as a Sales Mgr for Reynolds Metals Company in their Home Construction Products Division

I taught “Tin Men” how to sell siding and vinyl replacemt windows in the home- It was a great paying job with a company car and benefits that were incredible for a 22 yr old kid.

I worked for AT&T selling their CLEC service – or “local loop” I was a special accounts rep and was trained in Princeton , NJ. My office was in San Diego- HATED THAT JOB!

I was a corporate recruiter for a month, HATED THAT

Sold cars for three weeks- selling a car on my first day out of training at FULL STICKER PRICE!!!made my full draw for the month and- I quit a week after that- I hated waiting for people to come see me- when I was so used to seeing people!

I think overall, if I had to stick with one thing I used to do, the rest of my life…

It would have to be concert promotion. It has always been my number one love- and I am such a music enthusiast playing guitar and having a musical ear I really should follow that dream more-

I also have enjoyed comedy all of my life- and it’s something I am going to be practicing a lot more on-

With half of you morons on this board as my material, I should do alright

:-))
