HOLLYWOOD—Sophia Cruise was a recent guest on Matt Slayer’s "And Now We Drink" podcast.
In episode 459, host Slayer welcomed Cruise, who was recently honored as International Fan Favorite at Italy’s 2026 Doppio Senso Night Awards. Cruise shared her experiences from the stage, offering a look into the unique subculture of stripping across various cities—from humorous anecdotes, like accidentally starting a strip club brawl, to the intricacies of etiquette and hustle in the industry.
The two also delved into the evolving dynamics of dating and masculinity and the often-overlooked realities of sex work. The conversation covered everything from performing in different regions to philosophical musings on success and personal fulfillment.
Said Cruise, "I had so much fun hanging out with Matt during 'And Now We Drink.' We had so many laughs and had a good time talking about my adventures. It was such a great experience!"
