Speaker 2 (01:05):
Am I going to be Okay? I'm going to need
like eighty tequila shots before I do it, But anyway,
see you there girlfriend Fire with Garlie Electric. This is
not a how to guide for people wanting to get
into the industry. I don't want people to think that
they're going to necessarily learn something here. It's more just
(01:27):
a fun and interesting take on the industry, but also
just coming from my point of view. I'm sitting down
with my producer getting down to the nitty gritty of
the sex worker industry. You've been scrolling for a while,
you have made a short list of women that you
would love to sample. Finally, you pick up your phone
(01:48):
and nervously type in an escort's phone number. Welcome to
another episode of Girlfriend for Hire. I oh gosh, I
love that I'm about to tell this story out loud,
and I love that I have a platform where I
just air everything that's going on in my life. Fantastic,
(02:09):
It's so much fun. This week we're talking about my
clients lately, because she's had a few and it's been
a little while between SIPs of stories.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, I'm intrigued to hear one of the stories Carli,
because for those listening, I received a message from Carli Electric,
who was set to record this season a little bit earlier.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, I'm a little bit like.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Sue, and I received a message from her saying that
she couldn't come into record because she was hallucinating after
having some CBD oil that turned out to not just
be sabda. What has this got to do with a climb? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
God, only me. So I have lately just been prescribed
CBD oil. I'm adhd. I need to slow my brain
down at night so I can sleep. So anyway, I
was just like, yeah, CBD, let's go king to try it.
I'm not a weed smoker at all. It just does
weird things to my brain. So CBD was the way
(03:12):
to go. So I have been taking my little drop
of my point two five of CBD oil in the
morning and at night, and it's actually, oh god, I'm
one chill lady, Like, I'm like, chill my brain. It
quietens my brain, fightens down my ADHD. But well, now
(03:37):
makes me hallocinate. Usually. Hey, you know, if I'm at
a party and I want to have a good time, hey,
that's totally fine, welcomed. When I'm with a client and
it's unexpected, not a good time to be had for Carli.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So, did you have your oil that day and then
you're in the session.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, So it was late at night. He was foreign.
I was having a little trouble understanding him and connecting
with him. He wanted to talk about really heavy topics,
just his life. I think that he was very lonely,
(04:16):
and he was really kind of laying on me quite
a lot of his trauma and things like that. So usually,
you know, I can take it on board and I
you know, I'm there to soothe them and look after
them and give them cuddles and give them whatever they need. Unfortunately,
towards the end of the booking, as he's talking, I
(04:40):
could see the blinds behind him start to move. They
were shaking, and I'm looking at the blinds and looking
back at him and looking at the blinds, and I'm like,
oh my god. And then I look back at him
and he's talking and he's so hard to understand with
his heavy accent. But then it got to a point
(05:02):
where I couldn't understand any words that he was saying.
He was talking to me in jumbled up sounds, and
then his eyes started to move apart, and I thought
to myself, look, we can have a laugh about it now.
But it was unexpected for me, and I instantly thought
(05:25):
I've been drugged and I'm I'm looking at him and
I thought to myself, holy fuck. Carli, stay awake, do
not fall asleep like like, and I was thinking I
might be about to pass out, like I might be
tripping out because I've been drugged. And then I was
kind of like, Okay, well, I've got my safety measures
(05:47):
in place. Someone will come looking for me. You know,
the booking's about to end. Someone will come looking for
me within ten minutes of the booking ending if they
don't hear from me. So okay, I've got all that
in place. And I'm thinking to myself, did I drink anything?
Did he give me anything? Have I eaten anything? Did
I give him a drink? Did I take a sip
(06:09):
of anything? And then I'm kind of replaying as he's
still talking. I'm replaying the whole beginning of the booking
where he was standing, where his stuff is, where my
open drink is. And after a couple of minutes of
frantically searching my brain as the whole room is just swirling,
I thought to myself, hold on a second, I haven't
(06:29):
drunk anything or eaten anything in the whole time that
he's been here. And then it just instantly hit me, Carlie,
it's the CBD. And once I kind of relaxed and
took a breath and was like, Okay, it's just a CBD,
it's fine. Everything kind of chilled out, and I was
(06:50):
able to get through the last couple of minutes and
get him out of there. No, No, it was post yeah. Yeah.
And I don't know if he would have I don't
know if he noticed it anthing, or if I was
any different. He might have just been like, what the
fuck was up with that chick? I don't know, but
(07:12):
it was terrifying for me in those moments of thinking
that I potentially might have been drugged. I was not
mentally in a good state after he left, like I
I was not.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So you still think drug, even though you kind of
had the realization.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I think it was more I had scared myself so much,
and it, you know, really kind of becomes apparent how
it could happen to me, and then what do I
do in that situation? I thought I was in that situation,
So it absolutely terrified me. Gave me a little bit
(07:51):
of PTSD or you know, it's hard to explain PTSD
sometimes gave me a little bit of PTSD. In the
following days, replaying that feeling of being out of control
in the room swirling and me thinking that I'd been
drugged and so that would get the shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So so then that booking finishes, You didn't have another
booking after that, no, no, so you kind of wrapped up. Yeah,
losing a bit, decided to go.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The best thing that I can kind of do when
I'm feeling that way is to just get out, like
went for food, just went and had a really big
meal and went for a walk.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So you're feeling like you're tripping balls of it, yeah,
and you're like, okay, I get some dinner.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah. Yeah, Look, I don't mind the old licinergen every
so often. So I'm I was like, I'm going to
go eat, I'm going to chill out. I'll go for
a walk. And you know, I was kind of for
the next twenty four hours experiencing bouts of you know,
(09:00):
things swirling and so, yeah, she's had to cut back
on the old CVD. What a bummer, because it was
really it was really working really well. But I think
that I was just I must have been taking too much.
So anyway, my point twenty five was too much.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Schoolway to start a year with your clients.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, it was actually yeah, it was, Oh god, anyway terrifying.
I do not want to go through that. I don't
not want to go through that again anyway. Oh oh,
why do I say all this stuff out loud? Anyway, client,
(09:49):
you probably won't know that it's you. I'm sorry, apologies,
that was kind of that's kind of a bit of
a heavier one, I feel. I feel like that's a
bit heavy. Well it's heavy for me, so I don't
know what it's like listening to that kind of story.
But yeah, all the rest of the clients that I've
(10:09):
been interacting with, God, okay. I would have to say
that my clientele has changed dramatically over the last six months.
I don't know if it's because of the podcast. I
don't know if it's because maybe I'm a little bit
more known than what I was, say a year ago,
(10:32):
or a year and a half ago. Whatever. I think
I'm attracting now these really eccentric men, And I think
it's because they all tell me that they listen They've
decided to book me because they've listened to this podcast.
So they listen to the podcast and then they that's
(10:55):
the deciding factor that they're going to book me. Because
they can see that I've got personality and I'm you know,
fun and funny.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I would love to get one of these guys on
if you're one of these people.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Oh my lord, I think I would have a couple
that would be so happy to talk to you. Do
we just put like a paper bag over their heads.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Headphones on you, and then I'll ask them questions about
the booking a.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Real feedback. Oh my gosh, that would wow. We should
do something like that. Okay, So yeah, I'm getting these
really eccentric, cashed up, eccentric men who I'm not used
to it. I usually get accountants and I don't know,
They're like, yeah, the clientele is definitely changing. The other
(11:43):
thing that I've noticed within the last month or two,
where are all my Indian men? At think I've shot
myself in the foot with the whole Indian community with
talking about them on this podcast because it has I
was like the Indian coen of the world, and now
(12:06):
they have dried the hell up. Maybe just talking about
how I convulse when you know, yeah, I think it's
a belly blending anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Sorry, guys, We've got to get the Indians back.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I know, we need one on.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
We need to get one of them.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Do you know what sex work podcasts always just interview
other sex workers, Like every single I'm like the only
I am the only sex work podcast that I know
of that I don't interview other sex workers because I
just have too much random shit to say. But what
(12:47):
if we just got clients on and we heard from
clients anyway, guys, we're gonna workshop this. That would be Look,
no client would do it, but it would be so
funny and so fun just to hear like their point
of view and we can be like, so you're married,
any kids, kids? My a, I'm going to work on this.
I'm going to work on it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So the Indian clients have started to try up. Yeah,
but have you got some new Like it's a new year,
is it? Do you kind of the beginning of the
new year? Do you kind of do like a client
refresh like some don't come back new ones pop in?
Is there a bit of a new me?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It's always like that never knew you knew me? Because
any type of shift in me or change to like
the way I look all the way I market myself
directly affects my income. It has been quite my Lord. Okay, well,
(13:44):
January February after Magic Millions is my quiet period. However,
you know, up to the lead up what was meant
to be my busy period in November December was quiet,
and now it's quite still. There are a lot of
women really struggling. There are a lot of women leaving
the industry and you know, just getting normal civilian jobs
(14:08):
because it is hard right now across the board from everyone.
The only reason why I am surviving is because I
have a couple, like a couple, I mean like literally
two clients who are keeping me afloat and have kept
(14:28):
me afloat through the December period and now into twenty
twenty five. The only all the women I know who
are you know, really big names in my industry, we're
all being kept afloat by just a couple of people
who are getting us through because the you know, the
one hour guys, they're out. Kind of our bread and
(14:50):
butter non existent. They've dried up. They're probably just going
elsewhere and paying half the price because that's all that
they can afford. The economy is killing my ind street,
absolutely leaving it in tatters.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, I mean, I can't wait to see the World
Vision adds for that.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It's just me with a tin in like you know.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
These poor sex work Oh no, and I'm in my.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You know, cookye dress from October that I've had to
rewear like five times and it's like I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Poor, just six hour just yes you could help?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes, color electric, eat and like buy some new shoes. Look,
I have put out a wish list. I put out
a wish list like a gift list. These online.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I've seen things online before. What's the what how does
this work?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay? So there are guys out there who they either
know that we're all struggling and they just want to
do something nice to help me. Essentially, I've got people
always ask for you know, do you have a wish list?
Do you have a gift red Street? Do you have
like you know?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So is this essentially? Sex workers of Creators put up
a list of products that they're like, I'd love these
as if same as a wedding registry, but it's actually
just a life yes, yeah, and people do genuinely go
in and buy those things with yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So guys will you know they want to do something nice.
They're like, thank you, I consume your content every day,
I'm never going to meet you. I'm in America or
I'm wherever, or I'm in I don't know, bum fuck
nowhere where I'm never going to go. Can I spoil you?
I would love to buy you something? And so yeah,
(16:44):
they will do that. There is the other guy, though,
who is like the finndom guy who just wants to
spend all of his money and give his money away.
And so we'll just fork out money on gifts for
women that he's never met and we'll probably never speak to.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So where do I find your gift? Where's your wish list?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Okay? So if you go to my Instagram and then
you grew to my you know links or my fun links.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Okay, let's go through Karlie Eleshik's gift. Liz, she would
like her favorite chocolates for fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So somebody already fulfilled that they brought me one hundred
and fifty dollars worth of chocolates. It arrives to morow
and I can't wait. I've got like so much chocolate arriving.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I mean these gifts. You know your city is saying, yeah,
it's been a bit dry. I'm struggling nothing in any
ere is like groceries.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
No, well, see this is the thing, and I think
it's I think in these kind of times. Well, I know,
I'm just speaking for me. I don't know what other
women are like, but you know, I kind of stop
the splurging on clothes and shoes. But there's just fun
things in there. Like somebody bought me a day spar
(17:59):
voucher and a pair of heels the other day. And
you know, I've got stuff from Honeybird because who.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Can afford that Lingeraine in here? A couple of shirts, yeah,
better together, bundle lube and vibrator.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Mm hmmm, yeah, get me.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That cheeky bottle of dom Perry Young.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yes, did have somebody buy me that? Oh yeah, my
favorite tequila.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And you want to get a PlayStation V I said, yeah,
for my that is so funny.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
For my pairs five for that, it's like nine hundred bucks. Yeah.
So look I put that list up. I put it
up and in the first day I had like maybe
five hundred dollars worth of gifts bought for me, and
so it is like it is nice and it arrives
in the mail and I'm like, oh, yeah, it's a
(19:00):
bit nice. Good a bit random because I do you know,
I put it up on my Instagram and I had
that many people I know on my dms being like,
what the fuck is this? Surely guys don't do this,
and they're all flabbergasted that. Yeah, there's definitely men out
there who I think it's just their appreciation. Also, you know,
(19:22):
there are guys out there who don't have anybody to spoil,
and so they'll pick their favorite person on the internet
and send them stuff. So I do have a couple
of guys kind of getting me through this time, and
I'm just hoping that our industry picks up a bit.
But from what I've heard, it's only going to get
worse and worse and less and worse.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So well, I guess because of finance people. You know,
where are they going to start cutting their money back?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh yeah, and believe me, they have like they have
for you know, since COVID. Coming back from COVID, you know,
things got perky again. Everybody wanted to see sex workers again,
and my industry kind of got busy again. But quite
quickly everything turned to shit.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
This is why you're turning to comedy.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Comedians don't make money, shod Okay, it's a well known fact.
You just do it for the love of the lolls,
and that's why I'm doing it. It's obviously not for money.
Otherwise you wouldn't be on my podcast right now, you'd
be doing something else. Thank you. I'm still mad that
(20:28):
you don't follow me on Instagram, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Back to your clients that you've been having lately. I heard,
and we've spoken about your interactions with politicians in the past.
I heard that you may have been schmoozing around with
a politician.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yes, well, this is such a weird story, and this
is just a snapshot into the kind of guy who
books sex workers and sees escorts. So there's this guy
that I've seen a couple of times, full, you know,
a bit of a playboy vibe. He he is for
(21:07):
his Swiss and he's an ex he's a retired politician,
lots of money, lots and lots and lots of money.
And he actually needed me to help him pay deposits
for women, because a lot of women just take deposits
through beam or bank transfer, and when you're over seas,
(21:28):
it can be often hard to First of all, you
can't do a beam and you know, often hard to
send a bank transfer of money for a deposit to women.
So I've seen him a couple of times. He reached
out to me recently and said, hey, Carl, I'm coming
back to Australia. He comes to Australia pretty much this
time every year. To I thought it was to sightsee.
(21:50):
And I've come to realize that he is sampling women
from all around the country. And so he had me.
He just sent me heaps of bitcoin to get me
to lock in and pay all these deposits for women
for him, and so I was like, holy shit, how
(22:15):
many people live this lifestyle. He goes from country to
country to country, sleeping with their sex workers. This guy
is having the fucking time of his life. That to
me was such an eye opening. I just thought that
he loved to come here to travel because when I
(22:36):
see client, I'm not asking how many other sex workers
they're seeing. It's not something that you talk about, but
being privy to how many women this guy is seeing,
and that he flies into a city, sees a couple
of women, flies to the next place, he hires a car,
he drives from Like, I don't know who he's doing
these big road trips and just stops along the way
(22:56):
and just sleeps with sex workers along the way. And
because I'm seeing who he is sending the money to,
these women are stunning. These women are some of the
most beautiful women in Australia easily. What is this guy's life?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
When you find out someone has that kind of coin
and they've booked you, do you kind of go oh, fuck,
I've gotta I've got to turn this up like this
is porn star session times tant.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I feel like I become the more well put together
version of myself. I don't swear as much. I might
wear my nice heels and not my comfy here you.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Do like a bit of a dizzy voice change, I.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Feel like, yes, my private school girl voice comes out.
It's my phone voice, So my phone say. If I
call somebody on the phone, I can't help but do
this really put on posh voice and I can't help it.
I don't know why I do it, but I'll be like, Hi,
it's Carly, just returning your call. If you could please
(24:10):
give me your phone call back, that would be much appreciated.
Thank you. My phone number is but just the way
that I speak is so just private school girl anyway,
So I feel like if I know that they have
a lot of money and they're a bit well to do,
I do put forward a little bit better version of myself.
(24:31):
I'm not saying fuck you know, or cracking as many jerks. Yeah,
so look, thank you, yes correct. Yeah. So it's such
a weird insight. And he said, look, I'm embarrassed that
I'm asking you to do this, but I need your help.
(24:52):
And he's like, can I trust you? I've seen you
for a few times, like you know, I know that
you'll help me. And I'm like, okay, okay, let's go.
And I was like, this is fascinating. I just said yes,
just purely to see what on earth he was going
to ask. But it was also interesting to see what
women are asking for deposits, how they want to be paid,
(25:14):
what reference does they need. You know, there are women
who just you know, need one hundred dollars. There are
women who need five hundred dollars to secure the booking.
It was just really interesting. But knowing how many women
he's seeing all in one go is what there would
be this guy is living this guy it would be
(25:34):
the envy of just most men around the planet. You said,
what I'm like with guys who are like that, I
actually ask financial advice.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Really. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
If I know that they've done well for themselves, or
they've had businesses, or they've got this, or you know,
they mentioned something, I'm like, oh, yeah, what what stocks
have you? You know, what should I be putting my
money into? What? Oh you're into this? Okay? Cool? Like, oh,
tell me about you know. And he has spent like
an hour and a half telling me about bitcoin, like
really the ins and outs of bitcoin and you know,
(26:08):
and then they pullut graphs and spreadsheets and yeah. So
I ask a lot of financial advice and crypto.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Bro's listening as something of booking Carlo Electric. Finally a
woman will listen to talk about crypto.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah. I sometimes I get some really good financial advice.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, that's a new thing. This pod turns into a financial.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
What not to do? What not to do in crypto?
Oh god, what shit coin to buy now? And when
to jump off? In three minutes? Yeah, So I saw
another guy recently which was so interesting. Get through the
booking and he's opened up about his life as people do.
(26:50):
You know, he's talking about being a refugee in Australia
and you know how much his life's changed and everything
like that, and what life has been like in Australia.
And I ask a lot of questions because I'm fascinated
by people and I just want to know it. Just
as he's talking and like he's completely naked I and
(27:11):
he's talking about, you know, his challenges and where he's
from and everything like that, and then I just noticed
these like, you know, scars on his body that I
you know, ech and a half long, and they're in
various spots. And I just stopped as he was talking
and I was like, f you being stabbed anyway my
(27:33):
mouth I should probably like have a little bit more
decorum or something, and I just can't help the stuff
falling out of my mouth sometimes. I just was shocked.
And he's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's well, that's
why I'm here in Australia. I can't go back to
my country because they tried to kill me. And yeah,
so I got stabbed here here. I lost this amount
(27:54):
of blood I had to have like so many here.
I ended up having like three bodies worth of blood
put into him to save his life life, and uh yeah,
it just carries around the scars of it. I just
this is my sixty minutes with somebody like it's like,
(28:16):
this is your life. I find people like this so fascinating.
People's life stories are so varied and so different from
Oh god, I've just I love it. I was just like,
holy shit, okay, tell me about this, tell me about this. Yeah,
so had the stabbing guy?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
What the hell I know? Did? I like, be honest, scars?
Did that turn you on?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Look it was a bit of a hottie.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Anyway, And I was I was a bit into it.
I was. I was a bit into it. I was like,
oh cool, anyway, poor guy, hope listening. Have you doing well?
Call me? I have another. So this is actually going
(29:07):
back on what we were saying just before. I had
a guy recently, he's a financial advisor, and he just
said to me, He's like, Carli, I just want to
let you know, like the economy is going to shit.
It's just going to get worse and worse and worse
within the next two years. Everything's going to be fucked. Like,
put all your ducks in a row, don't buy a house,
(29:29):
don't do this, put your money here, take your money
out of this and I am like in my lingerie
trying to be sexy and cute, and I keep on
hearing this from clients. People need to do a case
study a university or something like universities. If you want
(29:50):
to contact me, I'm ready need to do a case
study on the fact that sex workers can tell which
way the economy is going well before anybody else. But
also the financial advice and the inside of information that
we get from people is wild, is wild, It's insane.
But also because I asked so many questions, they just
(30:12):
tell me and so.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah, yeah, I think it probably has to do with
the fact that you are standing there in your lingerie. Car.
I think that's why they're just being open and honest. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I had to go recently. He's pulling up spreadsheets any site.
It's very hard to be sexy when we're talking about
the economy dying, and how so.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Hard for them to not tell you the insider information
when you're standing there with your no.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I suppose we're going into a great depression. What I do,
Oh my god, He's like, don't buy any houses. I'm like, bro,
I could not buy a house now, even if I
fucking tried, so don't even worry about that. It's okay.
I'm not going to buy a house. My industry is
so weird. It's so weird. Oh my tree is just
(31:05):
men telling me stuff while I get my tits out.
I'm just a wealth of knowledge that I just hold
on to, just weird facts about every single industry and
every person and everything going on. It's insane. My ADHD
brain just absolutely loves it.
