On this episode of And Now We Drink, Matt Slayer sits down with Samantha Reigns for a loose, funny, and unexpectedly reflective conversation about stepping away, coming back, and figuring out what actually works in life and work. Sam opens up about taking a two-year hiatus from the industry to deal with personal challenges, then shares how dancing during that break reshaped her confidence, hustle, and perspective on respect, money, and boundaries.
From there, the conversation takes plenty of classic And Now We Drink turns: strip club day shifts versus night shifts, bachelor party nightmares, the chaos of Charlotte NC's growth, the realities of solo content, and why shooting scenes is a job—not just “getting to hook up.” Matt and Sam dig into the difference between on set and real-life , the pressures male performers face, and why content creation requires awareness, angles, and professionalism.
Sam also gets candid about swinger parties, situationships, crushes that linger too long, dating while being known for being in the biz, and the deal breakers she refuses to ignore—especially bad communication, anger issues, and lack of ambition. The two trade thoughts on confidence, rejection, sugar dating, kids, and the importance of being honest about what kind of life you actually want.
The episode wraps with travel dreams, passport regrets, Colombia stories, Thailand plans, Canada, Japan, New Orleans food debates, Waffle House nostalgia, LA’s late-night food problem, and a passionate taco discussion. Funny, raunchy, personal, and food-obsessed, this one covers a lot of ground.
