JBM:
You do know Sheri Santiago is a post-op tranny right?
Davethetruth:
Wow, I'll have to use her doctor when I do mine!
JBM:
Where are you from?
Davethetruth:
The back woods of New England.
JBM:
What did you do before the internet?
Davethetruth:
I was a short order cook at a restaurant that closely
resembled a truck stop.
JBM:
How did you get into the adult internet?
Davethetruth:
In 1997 my brother started www.bedroomsports.com
and then the following summer I came out to LA to work for
him adding products.
JBM:
How many toys have you personally tested?
Davethetruth:
Hmmm, maybe a dozen... or two.
JBM:
Do girls hit on you just to get free toys?
Davethetruth:
Nah, they only hit on me because I know you Shok.
JBM:
Can I have free toys?
Davethetruth:
Sure, do you want the Black Thunder or the Kong this
time?
JBM:
Take us through a typical day
Davethetruth:
I wake up between 7-8, check some stats and the board.
Then I go into the office and check my email, stats and affiliate
sign ups. Then throughout the day I tinker with my marketing
campaigns, add products, daydream about lil greg, chat on
the board, send out newsletters, check affiliate progress,
daydream some more about lil greg and some days I have to
run into the warehouse that we ship out of in Burbank to either
fix a computer problem, collect returns or drop off products.
Then I go to the gym and try not to get caught looking at
all the models and actresses. After that I go home and eat
dinner before I plop down in front of the computer again and
work on either my dating link site, porn link site or the
little design project I've been doing for the guy who helped
start "Mr. Magoo". I usually watch about an hour
of TV somewhere in there before I go to bed.
JBM:
Why DaveTheTruth, how did you get that nickname? Is your name
even Dave?
Davethetruth:
In college I lived in the dorms and a bunch of my
hippie friends gave me the name. I had no idea what the hell
it meant, and no one would tell me for about a month. I thought
it had something to do with the way I tell everyone every
disgusting detail of my life. I finally (after almost beating
the hell out of one of my friends) found out that it was some
saxophone player that played with PHISH at one point! It was
pretty cool after I knew they weren't making fun of me because
everywhere I'd go on campus my friends would yell out "Davethetruth!"
when they saw me.
It was a fitting name because my name is David and I did
play the sax for about eight years.
JBM:
What do you do for fun?
Davethetruth:
I snowboard, play a lot of Xbox, go to the beach,
go camping in the desert and the mountains, drinking at dive
bars and the snobby clubs and bars on Sunset Blvd, see movies,
go out to dinner, and I go to the gym about four days a week.
JBM:
Do you do anything mainstream?
Davethetruth:
Nope. I suppose that seems a bit short-sighted to
some, but my plate is SO full with our current clients that
I don't have much free time to pursue mainstream biz. I give
110% to keep them happy.
Luckily, I am not one to subscribe to the Chicken Little "the
sky is falling!" mentality, so
I am certain that the adult biz (and myself!) will be here
for many years to come.
JBM:
Did you pee in the lobster suite in Vegas?
Davethetruth:
No, but it did smell like urine!
JBM:
Have you ever been teabagged?
Davethetruth:
Nope, I made it through all my drunken college days
without ever being teabagged.
JBM:
Do you have nude pics of your girlfriend and can I see?
Davethetruth:
No, I took a bunch one time, but they came out really
bad so I deleted them all.
JBM:
What toy is the biggest seller?
Davethetruth:
The jack rabbit, which is really a first timers toy
imo.
JBM:
What's the best way to promote a toy site?
Davethetruth:
To get the surfer excited about a specific product
or category through a good picture, text or banner. I've tried
a lot of things and it's basically a game of trial and error,
but I'd like to think I know what works now.
JBM:
What sex toy is your personal favorite?
Davethetruth:
I like the small vibrating cock rings. They're pretty
fun.
JBM:
Are you sad the Pope died?
Davethetruth:
Yes, it was very sad. I'm not catholic though.
JBM:
Who do you admire?
Davethetruth:
I admire my brother for what he has created.
JBM:
Why do you like the JBM
board so much?
Davethetruth:
JBM
has such a great group of funny, smart and sexy people, how
could you not like it!!!
JBM:
What's your most embarrasing moment?
Davethetruth:
It happened at first show I exhibited at in Vegas
2001. The show was ending and I took one of the huge realistic
dildos down and stuck it through my zipper. The model we had
working for us immediately dropped to her knees and started
sucking on the dildo and before I knew what was going on I
was the centerpiece for a big photo shoot on the show floor!
My face turned beat red and my brother made sure to point
that out to everyone.
JBM:
Tell me something no one knows about you.
Davethetruth:
I shit between 4 and 5 times a day.
JBM:
What's new with Bedroom
Sports and anything to plug?
Davethetruth:
The newest feature we've added is our "Order
Details", where you can see the status, products and
location of every order you get.
We're working on a few niche sites that should be out relatively
soon and I always add new products every week and put them
on sale in the "On Sale Now" column.
Check out BRS

JBM:
Thanks for your time Dave!
