Episode 343 - With Haley Spades
Episode notes
"In this libation-infused episode of ‘And Now We Drink,’ host Matt Slayer sips the sober tales of adult performer Haley Spades. With the challenge of Dry January even under the tempting environment of a podcast known for its indulgence, Haley maintains her alcohol-free stance, much to Matt's amusement. As the conversation unfolds, drinking buddies are privy to Haley's New Year's resolution aftermath, her festive yet fiscally prudent New Year's experience at a music festival, and the tension of treading the tightrope of sobriety through the party landscape of conventions.
The dialogue dips into anecdotes of Haley’s past convention escapades, the unspoken camaraderie and stress of industry conventions, and a humorous admonition to the fans: support your stars, but don't drive them to drink. Haley recounts her experiences with the fans, the highs and tribulations of convention seasons, and the precariousness of maintaining professionalism while the spirits flow freely around you.
Further explorations cover the contrast between sober shoots and the ‘alcohol shakes,’ the stark reality of VR production, and a flashback to a peculiar deer encounter in Japan which parallel the intensity of a VR scene. The discussion segues into Haley's travel adventures
Listeners are also treated to an insight into Haley's gaming preferences, her passion for creating live content on Twitch, and her candid opinions about platform regulations. From Japan reminiscences to deep dives into the nuances of modern gaming culture, Haley and Matt share a rapport that will leave you feeling like a fly on the wall of an industry party room.
As the conversation veers back to spicy themes, there's a reflective discussion on the misconceptions surrounding content as an educational tool. Matt and Haley dismantle the unrealistic expectations set by scenes and emphasize the distinct separation between on-screen performance and real intimacy.
Listeners get a sobering reminder: scenes are to sex what Hollywood is to real life—edited, heightened, and scripted for entertainment. They underscore the individuality required in the industry, the gravity of asserting your own boundaries, and the pitfalls of letting others dictate your career trajectory or personal choices.
Take a shot (or not, if you're Haley this month) and join Matt and Haley in a podcast episode that's as much an inebriating montage of an industry insider talk as it is a sobering reminder of the human stories behind the performances
