Host Amanda (three and a half years sober, 0% perfect, and keeping it real) sits down with her best friend of eight years, Sydney, for a deep, honest, and often funny conversation about friendship, addiction, recovery, and life after alcohol.

Sydney shares her journey to five and a half years sober — from hitting her breaking point to attending recovery in Florida — while Amanda reflects on her own cold-turkey path to sobriety. Together, they open up about their wild past, the tough moments that tested them, and how sobriety transformed their friendship into an unshakable bond.

In this episode:

Sydney’s recovery experience at Holistics (now We Level Up) in Delray Beach, Florida

Amanda’s embarrassing “wake-up call” moment that led to her quitting

How grief, relationships, and personal growth tested their sobriety

The importance of having a supportive, judgment-free best friend

Advice for anyone who wants to get — and stay — sober


Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just need a reminder that real friendship survives the chaos, this episode is for you.

We’re back to the dark side of The Panle! In Episode 8, Ariel takes the reins and dives headfirst into a chaotic cocktail of conspiracies — from Katy Perry’s alleged space launch and clone rumors to deep-dive theories about JFK’s assassination, aliens in the ocean, and cryosleep myths. Is Walt Disney frozen? Did the mob take out JFK? Is Area 51 just a glorified fish tank for aquatic extraterrestrials?
