(HOLLYWOOD, Calif. / December 11, 2025) — Matt Slayer, host of the popular And Now We Drink, is excited to announce that the iconic show has been nominated for Favorite Adult Podcast in the 2026 AVN Fan Awards.
This represents the fourth consecutive AVN nomination for And Now We Drink, the podcast that feels like “the conversation at the end of the bar” featuring your favorite writers, comedians, adult film stars, artists, musicians and actors. No topic is off-limits as Slayer and his guests delve into their personal experiences, sharing shameless stories and their unique perspectives on sex, relationships, and life.
Native Chicagoan Slayer, a former private investigator and roadie, was also nominated by AVN in 2018, in the category of Best Non-Sex Performance, for his memorable comic role in Joanna Angel’s Jews Love Black Cock.
“I’m honored to be nominated by AVN once again,” Slayer shared. “As one of the longest running podcasts in the industry, it’s flattering to have been nominated every year of this award’s existence. And Now We Drink continues to bring both adult and mainstream entertainers together over a few drinks and a lot of absurdity. As long as my liver keeps kicking we’ll keep bringing the mayhem.”
Fans can vote up to five times per day by clicking on the photo of the show’s logo on the Favorite Adult Podcast ( https://avn.com/awards/voting/favorite-adult-podcast ) category page, until the deadline at noon on Saturday, January 24, 2026—the same day as the 43rd annual AVN Awards Show, which will take place at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, honoring excellence across the adult entertainment industry.

ABOUT AND NOW WE DRINK:
And Now We Drink takes listeners on an intoxicating journey into the world of sex, relationships, and everything in between. Hosted by the charismatic and unfiltered Matt Slayer, the popular show is like “the conversation at the end of the bar” featuring your favorite writers, comedians, musicians, actors and adult performers.
The podcast grew naturally out of Slayer’s work as a private investigator. “During my day, I ended up getting into podcasts; what else will you do when you have 6-8 hours of sitting in your car? I figured, I know a lot of interesting people, I like talking. I’m a white dude with a beard in L.A. This means I’m supposed to do a podcast, right?”
Alcohol is a great conversational lubricant, and no topic is off-limits as Slayer and his guests delve into their personal experiences, sharing shameless stories that make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even blush a bit. Listen in to discover more about their unique experiences and perspectives on sex, relationships, and life.
Recently passing 430 episodes, And Now We Drink has earned nominations for Favorite Adult Podcast in AVN’s 2023 / 2024 / 2025 / 2026 Fan-Voted Awards, and Most Popular Radio Show/Podcast in the 2023 / 2024 / 2025 Urban X Awards. “It’s amazing and heartening to see more and more award shows recognize podcasts’ place in the adult industry,” Slayer says.
