Episode 517 - And Now We Drink Episode 470: With Codi Vore pt 1

Matt Slayer welcomes Codi Vore back to And Now We Drink for margaritas, mayhem, and a wide-ranging conversation that swings from hilarious to brutally honest. The episode opens in the wake of recent “male podcaster” controversy, with Matt and Codi unpacking cancel culture, internet pile-ons, performative outrage, and the difference between accountability and punishment without nuance.

From there, they dive into the manosphere’s relationship with SWers, calling out the hypocrisy of shows that shame OF creators while profiting from them. Codi breaks down concerns around OF agencies, industry giants moving into creator management, high percentage cuts, chatters, and the ongoing legal questions surrounding deceptive fan interactions. She also highlights SWAID Collective’s work supporting SWers in need and reflects on how mutual aid, industry stigma, and financial instability intersect.

The conversation gets deeply personal as Matt and Codi talk consent, cheating, trust, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, libido differences, dating insecurity, confidence, and the messy ways people avoid being honest in relationships. They also detour through Berlin’s kink-friendly culture, America’s puritanical roots, beauty as “false scarcity,” and why confidence can matter more than looks.

Later, Codi shares her love for the industry, her experiences shooting for major companies, her recent step into directing, and the practical headaches of editing , green screen work, camera settings, color grading, and creator workflows. It’s a drunken, funny, candid, and surprisingly thoughtful episode about s**, power, labor, art, and owning your choices.
