This episode we have Jewels Jade who’s an adult film actress and author of the book The Trap: Sex, Social Media, and Surveillance Capitalism . We also welcome Laura Merrill in as full time cohost and have Steve Trella of Fitness Swank guest cohosting as well. To start I don’t think any of us will ever listen to the Pina Colada song the same again after what Jewels told us. A porn star ‘revealing all’ seems like an oxymoron, but that’s exactly what this book is. From the secret uses of piña colada mix to neurochemical re-engineering, this book is your personal tour of the palace of fun house mirrors that is the business of adult entertainment. . Jewels Jade is a nice Catholic girl from San Diego. She has a nursing degree, a real estate license, a Navy Seal husband, two kids, a Penthouse Pet title, and more than 500 adult films to her name.
