Luke: "What do you love and hate about getting older?"

Gene: "There's nothing to love about it. The thing that you really hate about it is that all the chicks think you're the funniest old guy in the building... When you go to the restaurant, it's, 'What can I do for you, sir?' All that 'sir' s---."

Luke: "Do you get senior citizen discounts?"

Gene: "I haven't tried that yet."

Luke: "How is your health?"

Gene: "Great. I work out stronger today than when I was 25."

"The work schedule dictates everything... I'm up at 4:30 a.m. [every day]. I'm doing my thing by 5 a.m. I'm going until about 9 p.m. I'm either at the keyboard or interviewing somebody..."

Long an early riser, Ross typically falls asleep by 10 p.m. "If somebody tries calling me at 9:30 p.m., forget it. I'm out like a light."

Luke: "What do you love and hate about your work?"

Rob: "Nobody pays."

Gene agrees. "What I love...is that no day is predictable... I love the porno fistfights."

Luke: "How often do you get physically threatened?"

Gene: "I don't."

Rob: "He's not mean to people. Like you, you think you're my friend. [Rob gets calls.] 'Rob, I was reading on [Lukeisback.com] that your site only has ugly girls.' Is that nice, Luke?"

Luke: "I don't pretend to be nice."

Rob: "But then you want to come here and talk to the girls..."

Gene: "Luke, how often do people tell you that you look like Bob Geldof?"

Luke: "Never."

Gene: "I don't get anybody who's mad at me. I'm a loving, nurturing, caring person."

Rob: "He's like me. He's not like you. For a guy asking questions like that, there's a reason for that."

Luke: "Out of all the people Rob Black has hurt in the industry, I can't think of anyone he's done more damage to you than you [Gene]."

Ross shrugs.

Later, we talk business. "I don't approach people to advertise," says Gene. "They come to me."

Luke: "Who are your best friends in the industry?"

Gene: "I don't know. I have some people I deal with more than others. Among my better friends is Skeeter Kerkove. ...He's always impressed me as having a steel trap mind for business. He has an incredible sense of its history and particularly his place in it."

"I always have this sense that I'm going to be found dead somewhere with a two-week desiccated corpse... I just wonder if you really s--- your pants when you die."

Gene says he's kept track of the number of women he's slept with. "Over a thousand women."

Luke: "How has your sex life changed over the past ten years?"

Gene: "There is none. You read more. I'm catching up on all the movies I missed going out to bars and chasing around."

"Once I got into the Adult industry, I found my sex life subsided."

Gene says he's had sex with no more than four porn stars. "When I came out here [from Philadelphia in 1990], I didn't know that many people, so one of the first things I did was get into the whole escort thing. I met some of the hottest women."

"I've been reluctant to get involved with porn girls because there is way too much drama."

"Kim Chambers and I were engaged for almost two weeks then she got nuttier than a fruitcake. I have no idea what that was all about."

Luke: "How often have you been offered sexual favors to adjust a story?"

Gene: "Never. To this day, I wonder why that never happened."

Luke: "Why?"

Gene: "I think women in this business are too dumb to figure that out, that this is probably your route to the fast track. They're screwing the wrong guy. Stop screwing around with the directors, producers and owners, f--- the journalists."

Luke: "What are the smartest and dumbest decisions you've made?"

Gene: "In 1968, I was offered the Philadelphia Phillies beat by this newspaper. I turned it down."

"Coming into the Adult business was one of the better things I did."

In retrospect, Gene says it was a bad decision to leave AVN in 2000.

Luke: What do you think of Paul Fishbein [AVN president]?

Gene: "He was a stand-up guy with me. He was one guy in the business you never had to worry where the money was coming from. The checks were always good. The money was always there. It was a good living. He was a decent guy except on one account -- [that he promised Gene a percentage of the AVN business and never delivered]."

Luke: "What should people in the business know about Paul?"

Gene: "I can't say anything bad about the guy otherwise I'd be lathering my website with invective."

"Let's face it -- the reviews are going to be skewed. The bigger advertisers are going to be more catered to. That's a fact of business. He's in it for the buck like everyone else. That's what is going to dictate what goes into that magazine."

I hang out at Star World Modeling from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. As a child, Dena Kane wanted to be a doctor. She belonged to a fighting crowd in Detroit (her last battle was when she was 17). Prior to her entry into the industry this week, she'd had sex with ten people. "I turned out to be a good girl."

Red from AbsoluteModeling.com stops by with two girls - Danielle Dare (32yo) and Gabriella Love (18yo).

Red: "I've seen the girl you have over at Richard's house. She worked maybe three times a month. Why throw her away?"

Rob: "Yeah, she was a drunk. Joel Lawrence called. 'I have a girl I think would be perfect for you. We can't put her on our site.' I knew why they turned her down. But if I get her one job, I make money. "I got this homeless girl standing here. Dick Nasty needs money to pay his bills. We didn't get her anything but I hear she was drinking everything in the house."

Rob takes pride in being among the first of his peers to shoot MILFs. "I do it [trannies] a lot. I don't shoot them," says Rob. "I buy two videos a month from Rio."

"You call D.Wise a nigger," says D.Wise, 38, "and your name's not Rob Spallone, I'll f--- you up."

In porn since 1996, he spent his first five years as a manager. He's worked in front of the camera the past six years.

"My good friend Jim Lane was short a guy for a gangbang. He knew that I had a test...because I've been f---ing porn chicks since the beginning," he says.

"I'm that guy they talk about who f---- porn chicks off-camera."

"I've never jerked off. The first time I jerked off I was 29 and I did it out of curiosity."

"If the girl's not on me, it's not always that great for me. Or if I'm tired... I did a scene for Rob a couple of weeks ago with Misty Stone and I didn't do too well. I'd already done a scene that day and the day before..." "I've never done drugs."

"I got my first blowjob when I was five years old by my babysitter. She was 13. Nobody believes me."

"When I moved to California, white girls kept coming at me like snow."

Luke: "How has your time in the industry affected you?"

D: "I've gotten lazy... I used to have a six-pack. Now I'm just soft."

Rob gets on the phone with his youngest son (13yo Bob). "We've got to buy you three new guns this week," says Rob, "but you can't take them to school, Bob. Not no more... That guy killed 30 people yesterday and he wasn't even Black."

Bob: "He was Asian."

Rob: "Those Asians are as bad as the Blacks."

Bob: "I know. I don't like them."

Rob: "How's your little white sheet I got you?"

D.Wise: "And people wonder why kids grow up racist."

Jeff emails: "Gosh Spallone is a bit iffy to be around you felt a bit uncomfortable there for a while, made for good viewing but don't people do stupid things when a camera is around. He wants to know that he can control you, treat you like a bit of a child. If it were me I would keep away from him. And the Max Hardcore thing, bit scary."

Rob gets off the phone. "That was Nigger Leo," he announces.

"Is that the Leo I called 'nigger'?" Lea (formerly Cameron Cain) asks.

"Yes," says Rob.

From Miami, flip-flop-wearing Kira Croft, has done about 30 porn scenes.

I spend a few minutes with Allie Ray Tuesday evening. She predicts a major terrorist attack on the United States in the next six months. Before then, she plans to move to Australia. Allie recommends Obsession: The Movie. It's a documentary on Islam's war against the West.
