PAFO - Pond Around and Find Out

Chris, KG, and Zoë are back for another episode of PAFO, and this week the crew celebrates a major milestone as the Pondoff's Anonymous Podcast Network officially crosses five million views in 2026 during the episode.But the real story isn't the number. It's the people behind those views, the connections being made, and the lives being changed along the way.Of course, this is still PAFO, so there's plenty of nonsense mixed in.KG unloads on the officiating disaster in Mizzou's loss to Texas, Chris revisits some questionable movie choices, and Zoë shares her thoughts on everything from beauty standards to surviving an overnight church lock-in.Plus, embarrassing high school memories, an unexpected conversation about missing children, and a heartfelt look at why the work behind this podcast matters.Thanks for being part of the first five million. We're just getting started.Subscribe to the Pondoff's Anonymous Podcast Network and join the conversation.

KG comes into this week's Pondoff's Anonymous listed as QUESTIONABLE with a lower-body injury. Unfortunately for him, he decides to explain exactly how he ended up on the injury report.What started as an innocent attempt to eat healthier turned into a frozen berry obsession, a bathroom nightmare, and a very uncomfortable trip to the studio. Needless to say, Chris and Zoë have questions. Before the medical report takes over, the crew revisits some spectacularly bad decisions from their younger days, including drunken bar fights, hockey sticks, baseball bats, and the dangers of confronting strangers in public. They also reflect on their powerful conversation with Edd Cockrell, debate whether teenagers are too old to trick-or-treat, and discuss movies, celebrity crushes, and the questionable necessity of full-frontal nudity.It's another episode that proves no topic is too ridiculous, no story is too embarrassing, and sometimes even healthy choices come with devastating consequences.

The PAFO band is back together and apparently a lot can happen during one trip to California for a movie premiere.KG returns from his trip and he’s got stories. Viking funerals, inappropriate and questionable flirting, an unexpected full-body massage, and a whole lot of trauma dumping. Somehow, he may have gotten the best deal of the night.Zoe, Chris, and KG talk about the importance of knowing when to let go, and an unexpected message from a listener reminds everyone why the Pondoff's Anonymous network exists in the first place.It's inappropriate, heartfelt, and everything you've come to expect from PAFO.

KG is out of town, there's no guest, and Chris and Zoë are left to figure out how to run PAFO on their own. What could possibly go wrong?After a little technical difficulty, the two catch up on Zoë's trip to San Diego for her sister's wedding, complete with emotional speeches, drinking games, questionable behavior at the after-party, and a rainy ceremony that turned out better than anyone expected.They get into Goodwill shopping, the changing face of the Delmar Loop, the cost of higher education, Chris's parenting adventures, and why Abercrombie & Fitch apparently smelled the way it did.Plus, Chris talks about the future of the Pondoff's Anonymous Podcast Network, some exciting opportunities on the horizon, and just how much everyone misses having KG around to keep the equipment working.No guest. No producer. Just Chris and Zoë doing what they do best: getting completely sidetracked.

Zoë out of town. Chris sick. And KG too inept to fly the plane solo. Enjoy this PAFO Best of Summer '26 with some of our favorite moments from this summer's episodes. See ya'll next week.
