*NSFW content within this episode* This is the first part in a series of talking with the adult industry all this summer here on TWiG! It’s the summer of love once again and it’s a hot one if your living in North America! Birdman sits down to have a conversation with highly successful adult director Robby D from Digial Playground. The duo talk about it all starts out about wanting to get girls and get paid and then evolved into a career that involved extreme sports and then days filled with beautiful girls,sex and fighter jets and boxing gloves. Robby D lets Birdman have the brutal and funny truth as they share a different side of the adult industry that involves more then just yelling “action” We get to cross something off of Birdman’s bucket list during this conversation!
