The Secret Sauce: Unfiltered and Unapologetic
What makes And Now We Drink click? It’s the vibe. Slayer, a former private investigator, stumbled into podcasting while bored out of his mind on stakeouts. “I know a lot of interesting people, I like talking,” he quips. “I’m a white dude with a beard in L.A. This means I’m supposed to do a podcast, right?” Damn right. His knack for getting guests to open up—often with a little liquid courage—creates conversations that are equal parts hilarious and eye-opening. Think tales of on-set antics, bedroom confessions, and life lessons from the adult world’s biggest names.
