    Booze Free Bants with Buddies - Having a pash Dr Matt Agnew, the sober scientist!

    Booze Free Bants with Buddies - Having a pash Dr Matt Agnew, the sober scientist!

    Dr. Matt Agnew, we all saw him have a 'pash' on The Bachelor, but he is way more than the Bachie!!  He is a 'pashonate' spaceman,  a 'pashonate' robotronic enthusiast, he is one of the founders of Pash, a non-alc beer AND he is a sober dude.

    This ep is a banger (and the audio is 10/10, thanks Matt).  Despite being the ultimate wing man on the sauce, Matt was having a battle with the bottle.   This chat touches on using to booze to numb, mental health, the importance of speaking up, supportive friends in sobriety, and the newest non-alc beer PASH!

    Take some notes, as Matt dishes out some really helpful advice to those who want to change their relationship with booze.

    The Hangover

    Hangovers are the worst.  They suck the life out of you, chew you up, and spit you back out. Oh, and that's just the physical stuff, the mental chaos of a hangover such as regret, shame, and self-loathing can really do your noggin in.

    After years of searching for a hangover cure, Breeza and Maso have found one - don't drink!  This ep covers the sciencey stuff behind a hangover, the girls hear from listeners about their hangovers, and the girls share some of the brutal hangovers they have endured over the years.  Buckle up peeps, this episode does contain spew!

    Booze Free Bants with Buddies - Feeling Smug with Loz Lakkin

    Booze Free Bants with Buddies - Feeling Smug with Loz Lakkin

    Behind every alcohol-free drinks company is a sober/sober curious story, and the story behind Smug AF Cocktails is no exception.

    Owner of Smug, Lauren (Loz) Lakin is on the other side of the bar, normally Loz interviews people for Smug's IG (Breeza and Maso have both been interviewed), sharing stories of sobriety.   So, with the tables turned, Loz was feeling a bit nervous!

    In this ep, Loz shares her story of being a boozy party girl, and a part of a family of 'big drinkers' (even Nan gave it a good crack).  But when Loz's Dad ended up in ICU, everything changed for Loz including her drinking habits and creating a range of delicious alcohol-free cocktails.

    Loz is now a mindful drinker and is saying 'no' to drinks more than she says 'yes', and in her words she is still just as LOUD and just as FUN when she isn't drinking.

    The girls love SMUG, follow them on IG @smug_af_coctails and shop at www.smugaf.com.au.

    Check in on the Breeza's and Maso's Sobriety

    Check in on the Breeza's and Maso's Sobriety

    Sobriety isn't a destination, it's a journey - a wild journey at that!

    In this ep the girls discuss what's been going on in their worlds, and where their sobriety is at.  Maso is staunch af (as F*&# - not alcohol-free 😉) in her sobriety, and has worked through some big emotions lately which she shares in the poddy.  Maso is coming up to 2 years off the sauce, incredible!!

    Breeza had the blowout that Maso predicted was coming, and has come to the conclusion that after 10 months of attempting moderation  - she can't, so after 14 months off it, it's back to day 1!

    Buckle up for this ep, it's got all the colours!

    Lights, camera, action! Sober celebrities, there's more than you think!

    Lights, camera, action! Sober celebrities, there's more than you think!

    Celebrities are in the spotlight for the good, bad, and the ugly!
    In this ep the girls shine a light on celebrities that are sober.  From our onshore celebrities to Hollywood stars, they have all had a different journey to sobriety.

    Breeza and Maso, aren't going to name-drop in the show notes, so you'll have to tune in.  But, they do think they forgot to mention hot rod Zac Efron, who stopped drinking in 2013 after a brief stint in rehab.

    This episode will surprise you.  While some celebrities speak openly and often about their sobriety, Breeza and Maso found a few surprise packages while researching.

A must listen

The girls are so honest, real and fun. They help you to think about your journey with drinking without preaching at all. The interviews are also really interesting and I enjoy listening very much. Keep it up ladies!

AndyJQ ,

My favourite podcast

I absolutely LOVE tuning into BFB when I’m driving or out walking my dog. I feel like I’m hanging with my mates and always get a good giggle.

The conversations are real, honest, raw but often very uplifting and inspirational.

Love your work Maso and Breeza

Discussing non-sobriety

Sorry girls, I am finding listening to how Breeza has been drinking, yet doing “amazingly” with managing this triggering 😢. It’s unfortunate that this is the direction the poddy has gone, as I was really enjoying listening to why and how sobriety can be fun.
