Sarah Brown · 2026-07-03

Multi-award-winning Japanese American adult entertainer and creator Kasey Kei joins host Matt Slayer on the unfiltered podcast *And Now We Drink* for a raw, revealing conversation that goes far beyond industry gossip. In Episode 462, titled "Kasey Kei Isn't Here for the Apocalypse," the pair dive into the highs and lows of life in adult entertainment, personal identity, and the unique challenges of living in Los Angeles. ### Turning Negativity into Growth Kasey opens up about how she handles negative comments—a reality for anyone in the public eye. Instead of letting criticism get to her, she shares how she reframes it as engagement metrics, turning potential downers into opportunities to connect with her audience. It's a practical mindset that any creator can learn from. ### The Loneliness of Sex Work One of the most honest moments comes when Kasey discusses the loneliness that often accompanies sex work. She talks about how hard it is to form genuine connections when your job involves such intimate interactions. It's a side of the industry that rarely gets airtime, and her vulnerability is refreshing. ### Broader Conversations on Stigma and Identity The conversation expands to societal issues like trans discrimination, stigma around alternative professions, and the blurry line between digital fame and real-life anonymity. Kasey and Matt also explore how social media has reshaped public and personal relationships. Throughout, there's plenty of humor and introspection, giving listeners a full picture of Kasey's journey. ### A Favorite Interview "This has been one of my favorite interviews. It wasn't a bunch of questions, but a nice chat with an industry friend who wanted to get to know me," says Kasey. "Although Matt and I come from very different worlds, we had a lot of common ground, and nothing seemed to faze him, which I loved." ### Where to Listen and Watch Episode 462 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, and the [And Now We Drink website](https://andnowwedrink.com).
