    Why The Peaky Blinders Are So Sad

    We are back for another chaotic episode of SoberNotSober — the podcast where one of them is sober and one of them very much is not. This week: a pug named Gizmo eats 30-50 ibuprofen pills (thanks to a cat heist), a grandpa interrupts a business meeting to show off his $2 bill collection, and the guys go deep on World War I, shell shock, PTSD, and how Peaky Blinders actually got it right. Plus: rehab, recovery, the disease of addiction, and what it means to be "hanging by a thread." Also: French Canadian band discourse, Punch the Monkey (you need to know him), Tiger Woods vs. the entire concept of athleticism, Taco Bell's glow-up, the McDonald's Big Arch, and a very sincere debate about whether Michael Jackson belongs in the top 10 athletes of all time. Grant also reveals he has a phone bedtime. Mekaylay is disgusted. Topics covered: Gizmo the pug's near-death ibuprofen saga World War I, trench warfare & the history of PTSD Peaky Blinders Season 6 spoilers + Thomas Shelby deep dive Rehab, recovery & meeting people at their best Elon Musk, world hunger & Mars priorities Angine De Poitrine (the French Canadian TikTok band) Punch the Monkey — abandoned baby macaque with an Ikea plushie Tiger Woods top 10 athlete debate Taco Bell Cantina Chicken & the Big Arch Vincent Van Gogh, insane asylums & psychiatric history Grant's phone bedtime & screen addiction 📧 sobernotsober69@gmail.com 📱 @sobernotsoberpod on all platforms ⭐ Leave a 5-star review if you're feeling generous It's a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl.

    Is Addiction A Disease Or Disorder, Lets Ask Guns & Roses. | SoberNotSober

    Mekaylay and Grant are back with another wild ride through life's randomness. This week: Mekaylay recounts his Northern Arizona cabin weekend that turned into an impromptu raptor show experience featuring eagles with 600 PSI grip strength, the smartest crow you've ever seen, and an Aplamado Hawk that can fly through vineyard rows upside down. But first, they stumble into what might be a hoarder hoarder house disguised as an antique shop, complete with a creepy basement. The conversation spirals (as always) into uncomfortable wine walk encounters about addiction and religion, why God isn't a requirement for sobriety, and Mekaylay's 4-year journey staying clean. They debate Tesla Full Self-Driving, raw milk discourse, Phoenix traffic despite having the best road grid in America, and why retail workers are literally holding society together. Plus: McDonald's Diet Coke confessions, detailed #1 and #2 frequency analytics, childhood music evolution from Queen cassettes to Sleep Token, why slash from Guns N' Roses got banned from a fourth-grade book report, comparing Phil Collins to Anderson Paak's drumming, and the career paths they'll never pursue (marine biology, crime investigation, nursing). It's 73 minutes of pure chaos covering birds that can explode deer skulls, the genetics lottery of being Black and Asian, building SNS Studios into a media empire, and why they're offering increasingly desperate incentives for you to subscribe. New listeners: We are almost at 100 subscribers and getting desperate. Comment "iPod Nano" for... honestly, they're offering a lot at this point.

    Latina Dancers Over Political Outrage (Fight Us) | SoberNotSober

    DISCLAIMER: Anything conspiracy theory related is a JOKE and not to be taken seriously. Grant and Mekaylay dive deep into their wildest high school stories, starting with McKayla's suspension for showing up to class reeking of weed (with rolling papers and a condom to boot). Grant counters with his legendary party bust where he outsmarted a breathalyzer six times and walked away as the only person without charges. The conversation takes a sharp turn into history as Grant breaks down the Opium Wars - how Britain literally got China addicted to heroin to fix a trade deficit, leading to Hong Kong's control until 1997. They explore Prohibition's spectacular failure, the alcohol industry's grip on America, and why AI water usage concerns are overblown compared to irrigation waste. Things get heated discussing the Super Bowl halftime show controversy, Kid Rock's "alternate" performance, and why dividing the country over Bad Bunny is peak stupidity. They tackle anti-Semitism, political extremism. DISCLAIMER: Anything conspiracy theory related is a JOKE and not to be taken seriously. The episode ends with an unexplained mystery - a basketball court that appeared once in their hometown and never existed again. Timeline jump? Alternate dimension? You decide. Topics: High school delinquency, drug busts, British imperialism, Prohibition, AI myths, halftime show drama, political extremism, conspiracy theories, and interdimensional basketball courts.

    Special Guest: Our Muse Taylor | Sober Not Sober

    Welcome back! In this episode, Grant and Mekaylay are joined by their longtime friend Taylor for a wild conversation covering everything from haircuts and balding to the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona drug culture, and philosophical debates about wine snobbery. Side note we were not expecting to have a guest on the show yet so we only have 2 Mic’s still and had to make due! With that being said extra time went into editing this episode to provide the best audio quality we could with Mekaylay and Taylor sharing a microphone. Stay tuned next time we have a guest we will have another microphone (Maybe… Hopefully) the economy is rough okay. Topics discussed: • Grant's haircut disasters and the struggles of being a balding man • Why the Dallas Cowboys fanbase needs to chill out • Arizona's surprising drug statistics from the 2000s-2010s • Wine knowledge: pretentious or practical? • The body positivity movement and Ozempic • British slang we should adopt (and "cheers" we should drop) • Childhood drinking stories and suburban shenanigans • Road rage and why you can't fight the US government • The death of cigarettes and performative masculinity We had a blast filming this with one of the best people we know, thank you again Taylor for coming on the show! More guest appearances to come in the future!
