16. Why are you such a soar looser at poker?
I am very competitive. I love to win. I am not a sore loser. Thats my brother fucking with me by telling you I am a sore loser. I hate to lose and when some idiot makes a bad call and knocks me out of a tournament, I let him have it. I am never disrespectful, but I say shit like how the hell do you make that call, etc... Then I swear Im done playing this fucking game, then next Tuesday Im at the same game again. I am sure lots of you reading this will relate to this if you play hold em. I hate that game, but cant stop playing it. |
17. Is it right to hit a woman in the face? (re astroworld)
I dont believe in hitting a woman for any reason whatsoever. The problem is I didnt realize this until I was after about 10 years old or so. So the story goes like this my brother and I are like 8 and 10 years old and we lived in Houston at this time. There was a big amusement park there called Astroworld. Well my dad would drop us off there in the mornings and pick us up when he closed the grocery store down at like 10 or whatever. It was a great, fun, and safe place to spend your summers as a kid. Lots of cool things to do and concerts of groups like Depeche Mode, etc.. Well anyways the rule was we had to call my dad and check in every 2 hours or so. So I am on the phone telling my dad I just won this fucking HUGE stuffed animal(I threw a ring around a bottle) and this girl who is like 15 or 16 starts tapping on the glass of the phone booth. I look over and she says get off the phone asshole. I look at her still talking on the phone and flip her off. Well I eventually hang up the phone and start walking off with my brother and this HUGE stuffed animal and all of a sudden this girl comes up from behind me and pushes me saying fuck me huh fuck me...well fuck you mother fucker. Im just standing there not doing anything and she just charges right at me so I swung once and dropped her. I picked up the stuffed animal looked at my brother and said lets go. So again, I would never do that now, but I was a kid then and that happened so fast I just reacted. |

18. How old are you and your partner? Who is your partner? discuss
I am 31 and my brother who is 29 is my partner. My brother Jeff whom most of you have never met is pretty opposite of myself. He is laid back and not high strung like me. He is the most honest person I know and a perfectionist. Karups was his idea. He was surfing around free sites in late 96 and said im gonna start a small free site. Well I wasnt doing anything major at the time and said lets do it. So we got the ball rolling and started trading traffic with all the guys from those days and built up solid friendships and relationships. And he was pretty much the frontman for the company at that time. Nobody even remembered me LOL. Then we started Karups Private Collection and I started running the content, members area updates, and running lots of other day to day activities. So through that I started to become more of the face of Karups. Jeff personally does not prefer to attend the shows and just gets business done via email and phone calls. |
19. Where did you get the name Karups from? explain in detail
This is all Jeff. He liked the rapper named Karupt from Snoop Doggy Doggs group called the Dogg Pound. Jeff used to use this screen name in all the AOL PW rooms to trade passwords to adult paysites :helpme His screenname was KARUPAZHELL. So when we started a site we just went with Karups. We regretted it after we got big in the begining becuase we wanted something like teenbabes or teensluts, etc...but in the end we are glad we went with a name that is very recognizable now. We branded it and found out that was a very good move afterall. |
20. Talk about what it's like to do telemarketing to get donations for pig vests.
When I first moved up to Detroit from Texas my cousins were all working at this telemarketing firm selling bullshit sponsorships to people trying to get them to donate money to get bulletroof vests for cops and to educate kids about fire safety. So I started working there with a few cousins and my brother and we went to the phones and got people to send money. We used to get all types of crazy people to tell us to fuck off, etc...We used to always joke as well that when the person would ask what is this money going towards we would say well Maam the owner of this company needs a new Ferrari and honestly he cannot live with only one so if you could be so kind as to donate money he will even be kind enought to cut you off on the road with the Ferrari that you bought him :1orglaugh :1orglaugh |

Lou what nationality are you? sorry if this has been posted already.

Awesome interview :-)
I'd like to throw my two cents on the bandwagon and reiterate that the Karups crew is *@(^T&@! Awesome ... Great to work with in the Mandy situation, and even better to party with. I have the utmost respect for you Lou, both as a friend and a businessman. :thumbsup :thumbsup |

21. What is @home? How did it relate to your business in the begining? discuss in detail
We were one of the first people in Michigan to beta test broadband and they offered it to us for free to try it out. Back then it was called @home network. We tried it and loved it and they offered us 5 free megs of web space with the service. Well as you can imagine the names Jeff and Lou were taken so my brother used the name Karup which was the name of his favorite rapper at the time. So Karup's Gallery was first hosted on the @home network till they saw the bandwidth and kicked us off and we then had to get some real hosting. Thats how it got started. Lou |
22. Post pics of your home. Talk about it. What other non porn related real estate/ assets do you own?
Here is my house in Michigan. I just got it finished in July 2004. I am now doing the basement and putting in a pool so it will be even better next summer. I will post pics of the pool then if anyone remembers to ask about it per a followup or something. I own this house and lots of other property. I also own a land development and building company with my best friend. I am very active in stocks and real estate and I want to develop shopping centers and larger subdivisions in the near future. I had 2 homes in Vegas, but have sold one recently. I dont have pics of those homes as those are and were strictly investment properties only. Vegas was the best for real estate in the past 4 years as most other big cities were, but has since cooled down. Anyways heres the house... http://www.eentinc.com/Lou/myhouse.jpg |

:upsidedow BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMPass |
23. What are some of the wildest places you've had sex? What's the most amount of women (or men) you've had sex with in one day? At one time?
The wildest place was probably at Rehab which is held at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sundays. It was Memorial day weekend and I was with the normal crew and me and my girl just went to the jacuzzi area and got all worked up so we grabbed 2 towels and went up in like these trees and wooded area. We layed down the towels and got busy. It was okay, but I was always afraid of getting busted. Not to mention JFK could have popped out of nowhere and post this shit here :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Note to JFK: you should not have any photos like this, but if you do please do not post. I have had sex with 3 women in one day, but these were all girls that I had been with before. I have been with 2 girls on me twice. The second pair of girls were way better than the first. Plus they were more recent and was just into both them much more. |
24. How do you know if a woman (or man) likes you for your money or for you?
This is very easy IMO. I just know. First of all, my circle is very small. All 3 of my best friends have either known me before the money or have lots of money themselves and we just connected on a friendship level with sharing the same interests, etc.. As for women...this is even easier. I have the girl I love so all other girls are just for fun. So whether they are all about the money or not, I dont really care because they are never around long enough to get any of it. :pimp. They party with me and everyone is happy. I spend money, they look good, I look good, we have lots of fun and bye bye. I will worry about that when I get to be 55, and completely bald and cant get young hot girls on my own. Then we can discuss women and money in the same sentence. |
25. Why do you still live in Detroit?
We have lots of family here and all my friends are mainly here. I travel about 10-12 times a year so I am able to get out and enjoy lots of other places. I am not sure how much longer I can take this weather though. Its killing me slowly. Lou |
26. Talk about how your addictive personality gets you into trouble.
I have a very addictive personality. When I was 17 or so I started experimenting with drugs and quickly realized that I could have a major problem if I dont quit. So after a couple of years of that shit I just gave it all up. So on Feb 8th, 1993 I gave up all drugs. I have not touched a single drug for any reason since. I noticed then that this addictive personality would follow me to other vices such as gambling and partying in general, so I gave up serious gambling after a couple of bad trips to Vegas. I just realized I was willing to lose lots more than I wanted to win and that was crazy. So other than some Texas Holdem tournaments you wont see much gambling from me. I might play around a little if I hit a casino in Vegas, but never again will I let that rock me like it did a few times before. I drink, but thats it. I quit smoking cigarettes about 8 years ago as well. I just know that if I let something poewrful get ahold of me I will enjoy it and I dont like the feeling of not being able to control my own life. So I am drug free and very happy. Some of my friends do it and it doesnt bother me one bit. I can be around it, I can watch my friends sometimes do it, but it just doenst work for me personally. So I dont do it. |
very cool interview....Karups has been such a solid program over the years...

27. If online adult ended today and you lost your assests what would you do for a living?
Man this is a tough question. I would have to say real estate. I have a passion for real estate and its created more millionaires than any other business. So if I had to start over, I would most likely be involved in some aspect of real estate. It would probably be building homes to start then try to grow it from there into developing properties and building larger subdivisions. Lou |
28. What kind of porn turns you on personally? What sites other than yours do you surf to get off on?
I personally like the hardcore stuff from the studios like Evil Angel and Private. I just love those hot ass Euro babes being able to take double penetrations. I have always been turned on by the big natural tits. I love em big and real!!! I surf DeluxePass and Adultbouncer. Lots of good content there for that stuff! BTW, thats the closest thing to an upsell you will ever see from me. Lou |

29. Who do you look up to in online adult today? Down on?
What a perfect day for this question. First and foremost, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL! As for who I look upto. There are several people I look upto and for different reasons. However the first person Jeff and I both look upto the most is Kim Neilsen from ATK. When we first started out Kim emailed us and asked us about advertising on our site. Well to be honest, we didn't really know what to charge and Jeff was very familiar with his sites and was like well how about you give us advice from time to time and we just give you that advertising space in return. Well it turns out he did that anyway and offered key advice and helped us tremendously. Kim was a very influential person in both Jeff and I's life. He will always be respected and thought of in the highest regards. His staff is a great crew as well. Tony Morgan: I look up to Tony Morgan and the entire NatNet crew. 1st class organization and a 1st class guy. It is because of Tony that I have met such great people in this business. I only recently started going to shows and its becuase of Tony that I go. He knows how to show his clients a great time and his friends an even better time. Through him I have had the chance to make good friends with some others that I look upto in this business and that would have never happened if not for Tony. And for those who maybe wondering, YES their hosting is top notch. We have been with them for over 3 years and are extremly happy. Chris Mallick: What a gentleman. I have only recently gotten to know Chris, but he has grown to be a close and dear friend. He has always treated me with the utmost respect and goes out of his way to make sure I am taken care of. Chris sold a company before entering the adult market for millions and still made more when he entered this industry. The guy is just a brilliant businessman. I'm a very honored to have him as a friend. Ron Cadwell: Now this guy is one of the most powerful people in our industry, but yet one of the most approachable. Friendly, funny and one of the nicest people I have ever met in or out of this industry. No matter who you are, if you approach him, he will make time for you and will help you if he can. Classy guy and again Im proud to call him my friend! Shap: We go back forever. Hardworking guy who is as honest as they come in my book. Things are going great for him and I hope they get better! Roger V: Biggest pimp I know. Left PornKings to do his own thing and is blowing up all over again. We have different views on the business, but are very good friends and always learn from each other. David Uwate: Here is a guy who Jeff and I have known forever, but do not get to see him as much as we would like. David is such a reputable guy and knows how to take care of business without you even noticing. For those who do not know who David is he runs Score magazine and is Scoreman on this board. I look upto anyone who has created something that is honest and makes money. If they are living how they want to live and are happy, then I am happy for them! I look down on people who scam others. I hate when a members area wont let someone cancel or keeps billing their cards anyway or upsells them without the member even knowing it. There are several others I look up to, but I need to wrap this up and get back to my turkey. HAPPY THANKSGIVING AGAIN!!!! Lou |
Great questions - great answers! :)
