Ambush Interview #58 Sweet T - Page 4 - GoFuckYourself.com

30. What was the best party you've ever been to and why? Discuss.

Hmmm....within the industry or outside the industry. It's hard to say. Within the industry many people have told me that our original Foundation Room party at the top of the Mandalay Bay was one of the best parties that has ever been thrown in this industry. I, personally, like the dinners that Mallick and Lawson have..they are legendary. I like the Players Ball's and I like the GFY Opening parties. I guess best of all, though, I would have to say would be the small gatherings that just end up growing with no rhyme or reason. I remember the first year in Florida when we ended up at Howl at the Moon on a whim and they stayed open for us and people just started showing up. It was a blast. Good friends, good drinks, good times.

Like I have always said and many here have heard me say it....if I am with friends that I enjoy hanging out with, you could give me a cooler, a boom box and a KFC parking lot and I would have a blast!!!

31. How many women have you had sex with in your life? Most amount of women in one day. Most at one time. Any men?

Wow...can I plead the fifth? Can I plead ignorance? The honest answer is that I dont know. I would say more than some and less than others. At one time the most I have ever been with was three girls. The most in one day would be the same day that I had three, I had one earlier in the day for a total of 4. Let me stress for the record that having sex with three girls is NOT all it is cracked up to be. I have never had sex with any men other than having sex near them while we were sharing girls.

SweetT · 09-08-2005, 02:25 PM

The last two questions are going to take some thought and I need to change venues....I will be back in about an hour to finish these two before people start showing up here for the weekend.

Great interview T! My next hosting company will be yours!

(and there sure is a lot of pics of you)

gregtx · 09-08-2005, 04:57 PM

great interview Sleazy....

Tony you've always been a great person and a gracious host.. kudos to you and your staff for running such a tight ship.. and becoming such sought after people in this industry...

SweetT · 09-08-2005, 05:45 PM

32. What's the worst thing that has ever happened to you in your life? Second Worst? Best? Second best?

Well, lets see here...the worst thing that happened to me I guess would be the loss of about $2.5MM of real money trying to help a company in this business a few years ago that ended up screwing me and a bunch of other people on this board. No, I am not going to mention any names.

The best thing that ever happened to me is an easy one...the birth of Jake. I would say the second best thing was that he woke up this morning....and tomorrow the second best thing will be that he woke up again...and the next and the next. I count my blessings everyday that he was born. It is hard to get people to understand the bond that we have but I guess just about any father or mother can say that.

33. What are your thoughts on the adult business today and the future of the biz? Your role in it today and in the future. Any plans on selling out/retiring?

The adult business is still within a consolidation period. The industry is following a very well proven step-by-step process that every other major innovative indsutry has followed. I compare the internet to automotive, electronics, transportation, etc. If you look back in history you will see a precise pattern to them from their infancy. It is a big boom, a big bust, and then it is followed by steady, slow growth that is usually the time when the big get bigger and the small get consumed one way or the other. It is happening in the internet industry, the hosting industry and the adult internet industry. In addition to that, I see more and more regulation coming because we have not been able to regulate ourselves. It will not be enough to "ruin" the industry, but it will be enough to make people work harder to achieve the same.

I try to conduct myself as a leader in this industry but I have never tried to push my beliefs on others. I try to be someone that people can come to and ask questions and try to give straight answers. Sometimes it is not the answers that they want to hear, but it is what I believe. I caught a ton of flack the last time that I sat on a State of the Industry Panel and told everyone that it is my opinion that the affiliate model that we all know and love will be going away and sooner than most people want to think. Needless to say that was not what affiliates wanted to hear, but I backed it up with facts that are not arguable. Now, keep in mind that it is nothing more than an opinion, but I base it in facts.

As for my future plans, I am still buying and not interested in selling....now with that said, everything has a price so if someone comes and offers me that magic number I am outta here

With that said, let me also add that my price is WAY more than anyone would ever pay me for it unless they just had more money than Carter has little liver pills.

My hope is that one day I will be able to retire and still maintain an interest in the company while the employees take the controlling interest. That would be a long time in the future, but it would be a true win-win for everyone. I want to be sure that my long term employees are well rewarded when I get to the point that I can stop coming to the office at all.

SweetT · 09-08-2005, 06:07 PM

Well that's a wrap people.

Sleazy thanks for the interview...if you ever need another line of work might I suggest Dateline NBC? ;)

Thanks for the nice things everyone said about me and my companies. It means alot to me to know that we are doing some things right. We will work to continue to keep that trust and confidence that people put in us.

As always, if there is ever anything that I can do for any of you please do not hesitate to call on me anytime.

thank you Tony - I hope you didn't feel the question on your son was over the line. I try my best to step right up to the line and not cross it.
