Hell yeah—welcome to PAFO, proudly spewed into the world by the Pondoff’s Anonymous Network. This is the official launch of PAN’s second show, and the mission is simple: Pond Around and Find Out.
The format? Unhinged. The hosts? Half healed and fully caffeinated. The vibe? Pure mayhem.
No guests this round—just Chris Pondoff, Jeff Allen, and Zoe Mendenall throwing down on everything from grief and God to trauma, boundaries, and pizza guy drama. Zoe’s got a list and a spray for every occasion, Chris is preaching the gospel with an f-bomb every five words, and Jeff—God bless him—is just trying to finish a damn thought without getting hijacked by tangents, tears, or full-on derailments.
This isn’t a therapy podcast. It’s a life podcast. Sometimes recovery gets name-dropped, sometimes Jesus does too, and sometimes it’s just three people screaming about manscaping and misinformation. Guests will show up in future episodes—not because they fit a category, but because they fit the conversation. Sometimes that overlaps with recovery or mental health, sometimes it doesn’t. Think fourth mics, wild cards, and the kind of people you end up stuck in a parking lot conversation with for two hours. No bios, no spotlights—just real talk, straight into the madness.
This is PAFO. Buckle the fuck up.
