Matt Slayer welcomes performer, dom, and self-described “turquoise water girly” Violet Voss for a wide-ranging, booze-fueled conversation that veers from food takes to philosophy with plenty of chaos in between. Violet and Matt kick things off with Amsterdam, legal SW, bad food, kids’ menu comfort meals, and the eternal betrayal of a friend hiding a century-old family pizza connection.

From there, they dive into Violet’s Florida life: home bars, dogs, gators in the backyard, hurricane prep, insurance headaches, property taxes, and the industry’s complicated relationship with state laws. Violet opens up about creating content, the business side of SW, quality control, OF, clip sites, studio marketing, and why shooting mainstream scenes became a smart next step for her brand.

The episode also explores birth control, hormones, attraction, vasectomies, fan fantasies, trust, communication, and what it really takes to date or marry someone in the industry. Violet shares how she went from sugaring in New York to real estate in Dallas, then modeling,and eventually mainstream with a supportive husband who helped her think strategically about her career.

Along the way, Matt and Violet detour into SpaceX, OceanGate conspiracies, flat Earth logic, astrology, LA’s dark history, vampires, yachts, pirate fantasies, religion, AI robots, and why money absolutely can buy a certain kind of happiness. It’s funny, candid, filthy, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of unpredictable ride And Now We Drink thrives on.

Matt Slayer sits down with performer and creator Sona Bella for a chaotic, funny, and unfiltered episode of And Now We Drink that swerves from BuzzBall danger to BMW dreams, dating disasters, and the strange realities of life in Los Angeles. Sona opens up about moving in and out of LA, building a life around content creation, her love of fashion, Facebook Marketplace, gaming, and the freedom she’s found in the work after growing up in a strict Hispanic household.

The conversation dives deep into the business side of entertainment: OF etiquette, collab red flags, performer dating, hustle culture, setting rates, dealing with clingy fans, and why honesty matters when SW is part of your life. Matt and Sona also get into relationship expectations, ghosting, jealousy, industry loneliness, and the difference between performance and intimacy.

Along the way, they riff on Korean barbecue, Rocky Mountain oysters, military fantasies, astrology, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends, hentai, comic books, independent art, censorship, and why creative freedom matters whether you’re making content, podcasts, music, or graphic novels. Sona also shares her ambitions beyond content, including streaming, music, modeling for videos, and building a broader creative identity.

Wild, hilarious, occasionally philosophical, and very much NSFW, this episode captures exactly what And Now We Drink does best: turning a casual hangout into a revealing, unpredictable conversation.

Matt Slayer welcomes superstar Blake Blossom back to And Now We Drink for a loose, funny, and surprisingly introspective hang that bounces from soda taste tests and horror movies to sobriety, boundaries, and the future of the industry.

Over bottles of strawberry Crush, Manzanita Sol, Fanta, and cherry float Coke, Blake discussed her relationship with work and identity, and trying to live more real-life moments away from the camera.

The conversation veers through feature dancing, TikTok chaos, AI therapy, conspiracy-mode chatbots, cruises, Australia plans, and why Blake wants to be more intentional about how she connects with people. She also opens up about the weird emotional labor performers can face at conventions, the importance of firm boundaries, and the difference between fantasy access and real intimacy.

Matt and Blake dig into movies and TV, from David Lynch, Friday the 13th, The Americans, Perry Mason, and Tim Dillon, to magic shows, Criss Angel, Penn & Teller, and the psychedelic film Enter the Void. Blake also previews creative projects on the horizon, including her Back to the Future-inspired comic book concept (Blake to the Future), horror ambitions, and upcoming appearances.

By the end, the episode becomes a candid conversation about ego, growth, performer etiquette, industry mentorship, and building a healthier community—while retaining the signature And Now We Drink chaos, jokes, and beguiling tangents.
