Now let’s get into what really happened.

This episode is my full AVN Week Unfiltered recap with returning guest and cam model Alice Funker, and yes, it gets explicit.

We recorded this after our experience in Las Vegas during AVN Week, the adult industry’s biggest convention and awards show. In the first half, we get into what actually happens behind the scenes when creators attend these events to work. Filming content. Collaborating. Meeting fans in person. Shooting spontaneous scenes between parties and red carpets. The raw parts. The chaotic parts. The parts people don’t see online.

Alice helped me film a video that’s already trending on my clip sites, and we talk about how and why that happened. We also get into the reality of shooting explicit content at conventions, how creators move strategically in these spaces, and what it’s like when online fantasy becomes real-life interaction.

Then the conversation shifts.

In the second half, we zoom out and talk about why events like AVN continue to grow in a digital world. We discuss AI, validation, connection, and why people still line up for real human presence. We even touch on the idea of being “topless therapists” and what it means to celebrate people in moments when they don’t have anyone else to share those wins with.

This episode is immersive, layered, and unapologetically honest.

It’s wild.
It’s reflective.
It’s explicit.
And it’s revealing.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happens at AVN Week or why it matters, this is the one.
