    I'M A PIONEER...

    DM Mike Here! Welcome back to the pod! I’m Mike Dreyden Figueroa and this is Unscripted and Unrehearsed, where I give you my take on events of the day, things that I’ve seen, heard and experienced. I came across an article that said, from adult entertainment to mainstream media, I’m one of a handful of former queer adult stars who have redefined queer visibility in mainstream… “Mike Dreyden transitioned from the hardcore fringes to mainstream prestige, forcing us to confront how adult performers actually pioneered modern queer visibility, questioning if corporate sanitization erases the gritty, radical authenticity of our pioneers. It’s time we credit the subculture for shaping today’s acceptable media landscape.” What the whaaaa? Ok! Lets talk about how some of us have successfully pivoted and there-by changed the perception of adult performers, but first… WEEK IN REVIEW: New Jersey Assemblyman Alex Sauickie, introduced legislation in early May 2026 that would provide a state tax credit for pet owners. BDX DROIDS ARE HERE!!! iRobots is real y’all! David Muir was in China for that summit and checked out an AI developers conference.  For decades, adult performers, especially queer performers, kept what we do/did in the shadows. If you were in a nine to five or in corporate profession while doing adult films there was NO WAY you wanted it getting out. Not so much today. Today we are witnessing a historic shift where these creators are moving from niche adult spaces to influential roles in fashion, film, and social activism. TOPIC 1: Who are we, these pioneers of modern queer visibility? TOPIC 2: Hidden in the shadows for decades… TOPIC 3: Driving the conversation in mainstream media. NOW YOU TELL ME: Who were your favorite adult performers? Do you still watch them? How many DVDs/Downloads of theirs do you still have? Do you even care… no judgement. UNTIL NEXT TIME: If you made it this far, thank you! Comment wherever you are with an eggplant and peach emoji 🍑 🍆.  Remember like, share and subscribe and hit that bell icon.

    BEING A CREATIVE IS EXPENSIVE!

    DM Mike Here! Welcome back to the pod. I’m Mike Dreyden Figueroa and this Unscripted and Unrehearsed, where I give you my take on events of the week, things that I’ve seen, heard and experienced. Are we drowning in a landscape where our artistry is reduced to data points for 2026’s algorithmic grind? Is the pursuit of the next big idea or project eroding our finances, our mental health and our authenticity, forcing us to trade our creative souls for unsustainable survival? I think we have to confront the exhaustion behind our curated smiles and find balance, but first… Reviewing the week. I met Sir Ian McKellen. California Warehouse Fire. An IG post reflecting... watch here. Reports of copycat fires. The Humanist Report has thoughts! Eric Swalwell. Jury Finds Live Nation Guilty! Article here. Watch coverage here!

This year’s inductees, including Celia Cruz!!!! TOPIC 1: AUTHENTICITY… TOPIC 2: Staying Sane While Searching For The Next Big Thing… TOPIC 3: Don’t Break The Bank! NOW YOU TELL ME: How have you as a content creator managed your authenticity, mental health and finances while creating? Are you relentless and constantly on the grind or do you pace yourself. Do you even care… No judgements. UNTIL NEXT TIME: If you made it this far… Thank you and thanks for being here for Season 2!

    SHUT UP JOE ROGAN! YOU DON’T EVEN GO HERE!

    DM Mike Here! Welcome back to the pod. I’m Mike Dreyden Figueroa and this Unscripted and Unrehearsed, where I share my take on events of the day, things that I’ve seen, heard and experienced. Ok, so listen. You gotta listen to what people with a platform are sayin so you can educate yourself. When I’m listening to one of the many podcasts I follow, whenever I hear something that makes me stop and think or question what I just heard, I either know right away it’s wrong or I do a little investigating of my own. That's what I mean by “educate yourself”. I search for the facts, the truth. More on that in a sec, but first… Reviewing the week. T-Rex Handbag unveiled in Amsterdam Read more here but why? No humming on Youtube?! What does it mean… Content ID Claim and Copyright Strike TOPIC 1: TAX THE RICH! TOPIC 2: Send the rich kids too!
