“It gets really messy and you get lost sometimes in the deep end. And we’re not getting out of the pool.”
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This trailer drops you straight into the chaos, humour and honesty of two women who’ve been alcohol-free for a very long time and are still figuring life out. Long-time friends and co-hosts Lane Kennedy and Tamar Routley hit record while they’re literally “winging it”.
There’s no script, no heavy editing, and they’re upfront about it: “We’re doing this unscripted… we’re not editing… you get to hear our conversations.” With over 300 past episodes together and sobriety stretches of 14 and 29 years, they’re shifting into a new season called **In The Deep End**, aimed at people already sober who are wondering, "Now what?". The tone is relaxed, playful, and very real.
They joke about missing record buttons, mispronouncing names, and perimenopause brain fog where Tamar admits she sometimes can’t even remember everyday words. At the same time, they’re clear that long-term recovery isn’t tidy. Lane shares, “Some days I don’t feel like I have any sobriety… it gets really messy and you get lost sometimes in the deep end.
And we’re not getting out of the pool.” This season is structured around big, often-ignored topics that hit many people in long-term recovery: the nervous system, energy (“energy is weird… but energy is everything”), hormones, pain and injury, and body image as women age. They plan to round off with “the things that we don’t really talk about” and a teaser for season two.
If you’re sober, maybe for years, and feel a bit like life is “just life being Lifey”, this trailer hints at candid, slightly chaotic, and very human conversations that say: you’re not going mad, you’re just in the deep end too. Ready to hang out with two “weirdos” who’ve stayed in the pool?
