- Previously on "DIY Dungeon."
I'm converting the basement
into the hottest sex dungeon in the Midwest.
- I'm friends with Ricky Cornish from Pride.com,
and he loves the idea of the dungeon.
I mean, like love, love, love it.
He love it so much that he wants
to come here and do an interview.
- Fantasia invited the press to my house?
- There's something, I know we can help you get this done.
- With Pride.com on the way,
we have to get to the finishing touches.
I can't believe there's a press reporter
on the way to my house.
[suspense music]
This has to be perfect.
[upbeat music]
[series title whooshes and jingle]
[lively music]
- [laughs] I am so excited for today.
I am so excited for Ricky to get here.
They are amazing.
And you're gonna enjoy what I have in store for you.
We are getting so close.
It's down to dotting the Is and crossing the Ts.
- Ricky should be here soon.
You know I love him.
But we have to get all the liquor on the bar shelves.
We've gotta get all the pictures hung.
Oh, I wanna do POV angles, too.
We have the new [indistinct]
- Oh, you know, I love doing angles, honey. [laughs]
- Hi, guys.
- Hey.
- Hey, Fan, I wanted to return this to you.
We had a great time with it last night.
Oh my goodness, yes.
- What are you giving to my mom?
- Oh, hush, you're just mad because Bridget is my girl.
Now, mind your business.
- Yeah, mind your business.
- Mind my business?
- Yeah. - Okay.
[lighthearted music]
[both laughing]
- I have gotten so close to Bridget,
and I'm gonna miss her when I'm gone.
Oh my gosh.
- Oh, so anyways, I needed to give this back
to you real quick because I'm getting ready
to take Cousin Jessica to the airport.
- Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. - She's waiting
at the front door for us. - Wait.
Lemme go tell Joe, bye.
- Okay.
[lighthearted music]
- Oh, hi, Cousin Jessica.
- Hi. - How are you, babe?
- Good.
- Cousin. Jessica has really, really grown on me.
- I was going to stay longer, but I met someone on Taimi.
So I have a date tonight, and I have to get home.
- I hate to say it, but I'm gonna miss Cousin Jessica.
- Fannie, I wanna thank you for helping me set up my profile
and take those pictures, and for showing me the Taimi app.
As a queer woman, it's not always easy finding apps
where everyone feels welcome.
So it really means a lot to me.
- Don't worry.
As a trans woman, I have those same experiences,
but I'm happy that you found someone on the app.
- I've been looking up interesting facts all day,
you know, to start a conversation,
like bananas are actually berries
because they come from a single flower with one ovary.
- Maybe don't over with that,
but you know what, girl, have fun,
be safe, and be in touch.
[lively music]
Cousin Jessica has been a royal pain in the ass,
but I'm gonna miss that pain in the ass.
[door thuds] [Fantasia sighs]
[lighthearted music]
[upbeat music]
Oh, oh my gosh, when did you put this up?
- Oh, I switched this last night.
It's the swing and this bar, it's a sweater bar.
They sent it from Extreme Restraints, too.
- Steve helped us hang the swing the other day.
It's completely interchangeable, though.
You can hang other items.
Oh my gosh.
Right now, we have a suspension bar hung up.
Have you ever had to use one of these before?
- I have not used one, but I like it,
because I mean, it's similar to the St. Andrew's Cross,
but with St. Andrew's cross, you're tied up to it
on the wall.
You can't get fucks.
But I can just, and then I'm getting fucks.
- I like getting fucks standing up.
- Right. - How about you?
- I'm a big fan of it. [Fantasia laughs]
- The suspension bar is so exciting.
- We have to get the POV shots, though.
- Okay, I'm down for that. - I got this new
like little camera rig mounts-
- Okay.
- For our phones.
- Aha. - Lighting per usual.
- Well, lighting is very important.
So you know, we need that.
- So I'm gonna put it on you.
- Okay, I love to be tested.
- POV shots stands for Point of View.
So you really wanna get the point of view coming
from like your set of eyes. - Right.
- So the goal with this camera angle is to see exactly
what you're seeing from your own eyes.
It's so immersive, it's almost like a 4D experience.
So when I'm shooting a POV shot,
you really wanna use like a wide angle.
Sometimes, even a fish eye,
because you're so close up to somebody.
If you're using any other angle zoom,
you're not gonna see anything 'cause you're so close.
And you don't wanna be scared to like add movement
to your shots because it makes it feel
a lot more authentic and real.
So like, for example, if I were to shake you, it's,
that's what the person viewing the content is gonna see.
They're gonna see the camera shake, it almost gives
like a 4D experience.
- I'm digging this.
- [Joey] Can I get some examples?
- Oh, absolutely.
- We've done a lot of tripod stuff,
but it's always fun to get creative,
especially when you're shooting so low.
You know, with self-produced content,
usually a tripod's fun, but I really wanna diversify it.
I wanna get different shots, different angles,
and just open new doors for myself.
So how does it look?
- It looks great, let's test it out.
- Alrighty, you wanna be the top?
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay, listen, I'm not flying drones in here
because of small spaces.
I'm not putting jibs in here because of low ceilings.
This POV mount might be the best we can do.
- Ba ba.
Oh my gosh, it look great.
- See, and you're probably getting
your titties in there, too.
- [Fantasia] Yes, everything.
- Hear it clap.
- Wow. - Did you see my pretty face
when I look back? - Oh, absolutely.
You're being a good boy. - Right?
[Fantasia laughs]
And a lot of times when you film POV, too-
- [Fantasia] No hands. No hands.
- A lot of times, when you film POV, you can get away
with looking into the camera
because it will look like you're looking
into that person's eye.
- Joey's content is really gonna be Nate's level
with items like this.
Now this is the view right here, oh my goodness.
I gotta go low, eh.
- Ah, ah, ah.
- Yes, and have your facial expressions.
I don't have to use any hands.
- Right? - And we can just get it.
Well, let's get creative with it.
Why don't you put me in the suspension bar
from extremerestraints.com.
- Let's do it. - Let's do it!
- You sure do love being tied up, don't you?
- I do, I am getting my full fantasy down here.
- With having the POV, you set a wide angle, too.
That way, you can also see everything that's happening
because sometimes the POV shot isn't gonna look
the greatest.
So, to have a backup shot with the wide,
usually the safe way to play it.
- I'm so excited
that Joey is thinking about self-produced content
like this, is so good.
- I'm gonna go start putting stuff together
for the bar and grabbing it.
So, I'll see you later.
- Ah, what?
[lively music]
Payback's a bitch.
[lively music]
[keys jingle]
- Oh, we gotta get this bar set up.
- I know, I know. - Everything is so messy.
- You're gonna have to show me
where to put everything because I don't really-
- Yeah, 'cause this is not how you do it.
If a person walked into your bar
and it was like this, they'll walk back out.
- See, I know how to drink.
I don't know how to set up bar.
- Okay, well, I know how to do a little setting up,
and I know how to drink, too.
You know about that. [laughs]
Do you want a Fantasia Special?
- Oh, and what is a Fantasia Special?
- Oh, well- - And what else goes in there?
- Nothing. [lively music]
Nothing at all.- Nothing at all.
Just straight liquor, that's the Fantasia Special.
It's gonna help us set up the bar
a little bit more, you know?
- Oh, I can smell it from here.
[glasses clinking] - Chairs.
[lively music]
- Amazing. Wow. - Woo.
Yes, bitch, woo!
[lively music]
[Fantasia laughs]
[lively music]
[bright music]
[vibrant music]
[vibrant music continues]
Oh. - Oh.
- Oh, oh my gosh, this is so fucking hot!
- Right?
The photo that me and Fannie had printed
that we took at Mr. Celine's looks amazing.
- Yep, and drop that shoulder down a little bit.
Perfect.
- This is exactly what I was going for.
I wanna get this picture blown up
and hang it in the dungeon. [bell dings]
- We look good.
- We got a good one.
But to make it look a little better,
I think we're gonna add some gold leaves.
So I'm gonna show Fannie exactly what to do,
and we're gonna get this thing done.
- I think we should embed the shit a little bit.
- I can kinda show you the steps real quick.
- Let me make myself at home, honey.
- This is really the finishing touch.
You've got Fantasia, and you know she loves
to be big and bold.
So I thought some gold leaf would be
the perfect thing to spice it up.
So, you need water-based glube.
- Good. [bright music]
- You need water-based glue. [bell dings]
[Fantasia laughs]
You need water-based glue, a sponge brush.
Since the cage is textured, I figured we can go ahead
and just coat the sponge with the glue,
and we'll put it on kind of thick.
That way, the texture will show through,
and you wanna do it in long strokes.
[lively music]
And then, once this dries down a little bit, we can go in
and put the gold leaf on it,
and we gotta let it dry a little bit more.
After that dries, we can go in
and brush off all of the gold leaf.
And if we do it right, we should have a pretty cage.
We're at a point now, we can start putting
some gold leaf on.
So it's on these pieces of parchment paper.
I think it's parchment paper,
as you can tell, it's delicate and light.
But we'll lay it on there.
Fill the paper, and you take a bristle brush,
a soft, bristle brush,
and you kind of tap it onto the glue.
And then, that way, it'll stick down and hold.
And that gets a lot of the air bubbles out,
so you're not dealing with that.
Do you wanna try to lay one down?
- [Fantasia] Absolutely.
- It's essentially a super-thin sheet of foil.
And you just lay it with the gold down.
[lively music]
And then you'll take this brush,
and you'll just pat it down onto it.
[lively music]
- Joey, what is this gold paint for?
- Ah, I just figured, you know, some of this, the gold leaf,
it'll have a little bit more texture.
But if we want something that's a little more smooth gold,
you wanna do your lips to gold?
- Absolutely, they have to be gold.
- All right, this is acrylic paint.
You wanna use the acrylic
because it's the best that's gonna stick
to the water-based glube, or the water-based glue.
I keep calling it lube.
Little water-based glue.
[lively music]
[Joey laughs]
[lively music]
See how pretty I can make you look?
[lively music]
- Well, you know, I've been told before
that I had the lips of gold, so...
- You got a golden mouth.
- [Fantasia] Absolutely.
- That used to be Cleopatra's nickname, apparently.
[Fantasia laughs]
- Oh, why don't you put some in the center of the cross?
I think that'll be hot, too.
- Okay.
- [Fantasia] Oh, yeah, that's good.
- So once all the gold leaves dry, we can come in
with another brussel brush, the same ones that we kind
of used to tap it down, and you're gonna brush off
all the extra gold leaf that didn't get glued down,
just like this.
- Well, you like it rough all the time.
- I love it rough.
You wanna give it a try, Fannie?
- [Fantasia] Yeah, let's do it.
- You can use that brush right there.
- Okay. - Oh, kinda-
- Like this or a rougher.
- A little rougher. - Okay.
- That way it'll actually peel it off like...
[brush swishing]
- Oh, yeah. [laughs]
Just kind of go in on it real good.
And we'll finish this corner up.
And that's done.
Now we just gotta clean up the extra gold leaf
that we've wiped off, and we'll get it framed and hung up.
I'm gonna have to go get ready for my interview with Ricky.
Before we do that, though,
I want to give my family a final tour.
- All right, well, let's go.
- All right.
[lively music]
So we're hanging up the final pictures.
I mean, we got the toys on the shelves,
pictures on the walls, especially the naughty ones.
And I mean, we're done.
Wow, this painting really fits the space.
I mean, between these two lights,
and Fannie gets to watch me fuck every night, that's hot.
[lively music]
[upbeat music]
- All right, I am so excited
because we are done, honey.
- You know, my family's been so supportive
during this whole experience,
and I'm really excited for them
to see the final product.
- Oh. - This is the kink BDSM area.
I'm not gonna tell you guys everything
'cause I'm gonna try to behave, you know?
But this is the finished product, and I am so in love,
and this is my favorite over here.
So I had to show you guys this.
[upbeat music]
♪ Let me tell you a secret
♪ I got a fever going on tonight ♪
♪ Oh
♪ Just go a little closer
♪ Lemme tell you something that is really out of sight ♪
- Oh, Fannie, let's go to the other side.
I don't really need to know about this one.
- I'll lead you over there. - My imagination.
- I don't need them spending too much time
over there either.
We should focus on the bar and get a drink.
Fannie helped me set up all the bottles,
so thank you for that.
I don't know if you've seen very much of the bar yet.
- I haven't seen much of the bar, but it looks amazing.
[lighthearted music]
[lighthearted music continues]
- This will be more on the chill side with the lounge,
you know, so we can have a drink, chill out, let loose.
- So this area over here isn't for content?
- No. - This is more to hang out,
drink with your friends. - Yeah.
- Just to hang out, slash place.
You're always a mess, especially in New York.
I'm just glad you get to do it here at home safely.
[bright music]
I'm just excited to see that it has came together so great.
- I can see your vision now.
Not all of it, 'cause you know I got virgin eyes.
I don't wanna see it all.
- Yeah, you don't need to see the whole vision.
- Mm, yeah, yeah, it turned out awesome.
I think it's gonna be pretty cool
- It's amazing.
It looks really, really good.
It looks good. - And you did good.
You've done a really good job. - Yeah.
- Oh, thank you. [laughs] Thanks for putting up
with him. [Fantasia laughs]
- Should we move on to the bedroom?
[lively music]
[scene change flashing]
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
So me and Fannie made our gold leaf picture
that we got put up today.
One of our final touches.
You got the beds, you know, you have all
of your Pure for Men on one nightstand,
your lubes on the other.
The necessities, the essentials, an award,
'cause why not?
- What are you doing in the dog cage?
[vibrant music]
- You don't need to know about that.
- I don't need to know, then you're right.
[lively music]
- Seeing Bridget and Steve face light up, it made my day.
- I don't know about you, Fannie,
but I am so happy that this is all came together,
and we finished.
- I'm happy, too, we did that.
We did that.
Oh, but we gotta go get ready
because Ricky Cornish is on the way,
and we are about to be all over the internet,
so we gotta make sure we look good.
- All right, let's go get ready.
- Let's do it.
- It looks amazing.
Everybody has done such a great job.
Steve, you did a really good job
on the construction part of it.
Joey did an amazing job,
even helping you with the construction part of it.
Fannie, Fannie was great.
- It looks good.
There's a lot of more kink in there
than I thought was gonna be in there.
So, we gotta lock the doors.
- I'm impressed with how well everything has came together.
He's done amazing job.
- I don't see us having Thanksgiving dinner down here,
but I think he'll enjoy it.
- [laughs] Oh yeah.
- So I've been looking at his schedule.
- Who's?
- Joey's?
- Okay. - And I've set one up
for me and you.
- Huh, I don't think so.
- I got plans. - Come on.
- What? - Move it, let's go.
- No, come on, what? - Come on.
- Did you see the big [indistinct]
What about that one?
[lively music]
- Ricky, come on down, you're gonna be so happy to see this.
Don't worry, we cleared the spider webs for you.
- This is it.
This is the big interview.
Ricky just got here,
and he is about to see the dungeon for the first time.
- Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Dungeon.
- Oh my goodness.
- Oh, yes.
- This is perfect for both of you,
let's just say that. [laughs] [Fantasia laughs]
- So, do you love it? - Yes.
You gotta gimme the tour, girl, because this is crazy.
- Well, come on over here.
- Let's go.
- The first thing we're gonna start with is,
this is the St. Andrew's Cross, okay?
- Okay - This is
where you'd be strapped down
with your hands and your feet.
And trust me, I was strapped down, for real.
[fingers snap] Have you ever used
the St. Andrew's Cross? - I have never used
this before, I haven't used most of the things
in this room, actually.
- Okay, well, maybe we gonna have to put you on there later.
So these- - Show me, Joey.
[everybody laughs]
Joey, will show me, okay? [laughs]
- These right here are our sex toys.
I'm pro now. [laughs] - Okay, work, honey, work.
Wait, Joe, I gotta ask you,
which of these is your favorite if you could pick?
- If I could pick? - Mm-hmm.
- Probably the flogger. - Mm.
- It's like the most used,
probably out of everything I have.
- Yeah. - I think Ricky likes it.
I mean, he's got a smile on his face.
He seems to be having a good time,
and I haven't heard a criticism yet.
- All right, so we are gonna move right over here.
This is what you call a fuck-it machine.
- I cannot believe
that all the work we did is now on Pride.com.
Like, it's so surreal.
- So right here, you put all-size dildos on there.
As you can see, we have a lot display of all sizes.
You know all shades. - What is this?
So you put this on this-
- And go to work.
- Oh my gosh. - You do have to get
a suction cup attachment.
Yes. - Okay.
- We also had the help of Steve.
- My stepdad. - Your stepdad
helped with this. - Oh, my parents were
all down here like, yeah-
- I was gonna say I probably see your mom at some point.
- He's the one who built the entire thing.
I'll make her come over to us.
- I can't, I help us put all of this up.
- And then, of course, these are our cubs, honey,
that you use on the St. Andrew's Cross
to tie you down. - Yeah.
- But you know, we have more to show you, though.
- Thank goodness, this a taste.
- Let me show you the bedroom side, yes.
- Yeah. - Let's go. Let's go.
- The bedroom side is more porn-studio vibes.
- Okay.
- I was gonna say like on a first glance,
you wouldn't realize that this is
on the other side of the room. [laughs]
- Yeah, no, not at all.
But so, like, we've left this wall open,
so you can get your wider shots
because it's really not that big of a space.
- Yeah. - So you can
like leave your lighting out here.
We've got all of our lubes, the-
- Yes. - Extreme Restraints sent-
- A little bit of everything over here.
And can I just say- - More of the Pure for Men-
- I love that you're having the fun here,
and you get to look at that the entire time.
- [Joey] Right?
- That's fantastic. [laughs] [Joey laughs]
- [Fantasia] We had so much fun shooting that. [laughs]
- Girl, I can only imagine [indistinct]
- That was at Mr. Celine's Dungeon, the lounge area.
Should we show you that? - What is...
Yes, please, I see we have a couple awards up here.
- Just a few.
You might have been there when I accepted that.
- [Ricky] I was going to say 2024, yeah, I was there.
- Yeah, maybe not the first one, but-
- I was there. - This one, for sure.
[Ricky laughs and slaps]
Mm-hmm. - That is hilarious.
- This is probably gonna be blurred, but-
- Wouldn't be a dungeon if you hit that up
with reference, yes. [Fantasia laughs]
- For explanation, because it's gonna be blurred
in the video.
This is me getting double-penetrated
and throat-fucked at the same time.
[Fantasia laughs]
If you wanna grab a seat.
- Yes, please, I would love to.
While I'm down here, is it okay if I ask you guys
a couple questions? - Absolutely.
- Go for it. - Yes.
So I had to tell you, when I found out
that you two were coming together to host a show,
it's like the world's colliding,
like everything you could ever want in a show.
Fannie, lemme start with you, like what was it like working
with Joey of all people on a show like this?
- Honestly, all the times that we really hung out,
it's been out like partying and stuff.
So this was our time that we really got
to bond with each other.
And honestly, I think we got closer, mm.
- We met sober each other this trip.
[everybody laughs]
- Oh, I would love to see it.
- She met Sober Joey.
- Yes, I mean, Joey, you have been in the industry
how long now, nearly 10 years?
- Nine, yeah. - This is absolutely crazy.
So did you ever think 10 years later you would be building
a dungeon and hosting a show with Fantasia Royale Gaga?
- Did I think so, no.
Did I hope so, yes.
- Mm.
- Yeah. - And Fannie, I think
what's super cool is we have
obviously seen you do so many amazing shows on LTV,
but this show is definitely in its own league,
wouldn't you say?
- Yeah, I would say because, this time,
I got to bring out some of my kinks
that people didn't even know I had in me.
- Mm. - And it's preparing me
for me to be a dom.
- I think that is seriously so fierce.
And Joey, of course, we've seen you on X-Rated.
Is it nice that you got to leave the boys behind
and do something with Fannie,
as opposed to those crazy boys?
- The show was great.
It was so much more work
because I built a fucking basement.
Yeah. [everybody laughs]
Like I built a basement. - Yes.
- So it was a lot more work.
It's definitely a different speed,
but I do know that that will be used very soon
for some sort of hook-up.
- Mm. - Most likely from Taimi, but-
- Oh, work, well, I can't wait to see
what you two have in store.
I am honored that I'm here to check out the set.
I think now we have to celebrate, though, don't you?
- Oh, definitely.
It's always good for a celebration.
Joey and I have gotten so close during this journey.
I think it's safe to say he's one of my best friends.
Cheers to queers, cheers to being a badass bitch.
And cheers to "DIY Dungeons!"
- Yes, please. [glasses clinking]
Cheers, girl. - Cheers.
- This is just the beginning.
I cannot wait to get guys over and start filming.
