Not only that, but the upcoming episodes will feature appearances from our many Sober Curator Contributors as our way of bringing the website to life. Podcast reality show anyone?

In this fiery debut of Hot Takes, Alysse Bryson, Tamar Routly (AKA T-Boog), and new co-host Lane Kennedy unpack SNL’s controversial “Non-Non-Alcoholic Beer” sketch. Was it harmless satire or tone-deaf comedy at the expense of sober folks? The trio digs into stigma, humor, and timing — with personal stories, laughter, and a few very real emotions along the way.
Takeaways:
Why the SNL sketch sparked such mixed reactions in sober circles.
The fine line between dark humor and damaging stereotypes.
How comedy can both start conversations and reinforce stigma.
The reality of “non-alcoholic” drinking for those in recovery.
- Why open dialogue matters more than outrage.
Key Timestamps:
