    The Late Night Show With BigFoot | SoberNotSober Ep.57

    It's our Halloween special and things get... weird. Grant sits down with a very special guest — Bigfoot himself — for the interview of a lifetime. We cover deforestation, interdimensional travel, what it's like working with Bryan Cranston and M. Night Shyamalan on Blurry Image Walking Next to River in Forest Part 2, and why Bigfoot eats his own droppings. Plus the shocking reveal that it's actually Daniel Day-Lewis in the biggest role of his career. After the Bigfoot bit falls apart, we get into: Deep dive on the horror show From on Netflix — theories, spoilers, and why the producers turned down a sixth seasonHunter x Hunter rewatch talk and the insane workload of long-running manga artistsA Nic Cage dyed-beard rant and Grant's excitement for his future "Clooney years"A ghost tour through Phoenix's Winnie Ruth Judd house — the suitcase murderer's home, now owned by a lawyer who won't let ghost hunters insideThe scariest thing we saw on that tour: a full turd, no toilet paper, at the Hyatt Place Downtown PhoenixA serious conversation about the homeless crisis, mental health resources, and what actually helping people looks likeLegendary high school Halloween party stories: the great wall escape, the broken tibia, and 60 teenagers scattering into the Arizona washGrant's first time doing shrooms while playing Call of Duty: World at War Zombies — followed by a four-hour solo pool sessionMikayla hitting spice juice out of a mod and walking home through "a straw"First time dabbing and why Grant thought his feet stopped workingLike, comment, and subscribe. Tell us Bigfoot is cute. Tell us the hunter is cuter. Happy Halloween — stay safe out there. Love you long time.

    The Etymology Of Hella | SoberNotSober Ep.56

    Welcome back to Sober Not Sober! This week, Grant and Mekaylay unpack the etymology of "hella" (is it more than "a lot" or less than "copious"?), debate renting vs. buying in Arizona's brutal rental market, and share some truly unhinged Arizona neighbor stories — including a listener submission about a Quartzsite local who buried actual landmines in his yard and Mekaylay's childhood neighbor who dug a 12-foot hole at 3 AM on what we can only assume was a lot of meth.

And stick around for Krillion, where wine knowledge somehow saves the day, and the birth of the Sober Cinematic Universe — a country EP, a screamo LP, and a novel that definitely isn't called "Spooky Book."

    Shower With The Boys | SoberNotSober Ep.55

    Caleb Williams got booty neked and showered with the team. That's a leader. That's team camaraderie. At least, that's Mekaylay's argument — and he's not backing down. This week on Sober Not Sober, Grant and Mekaylay cover everything from billionaire purchases and Jeff Bezos hunting for Apollo 11 thrusters, to a guy on a Harley cranking Soulja Boy with no hands on the handlebars. Grant breaks down the brutal Master Sommelier Level 4 exam — including a service portion that sounds like a literal humiliation ritual — and tries (unsuccessfully) to get Mekaylay to watch the Somm documentary. Plus: NFL vs. soccer (the eternal debate), Chris Collinsworth won't shut up, Mike Tomlin's Minecraft world (is it real?), tainted baby names, Grant's acting audition for Aegon the Conqueror, Mekaylay's 18-inch albino nip hair, a cat rescue cafe with bulletproof glass (no kids allowed), Speedo discourse, and the boys play Krillion live on air.

    If You're Still Balding in 2026...What Are You Doing!? | SoberNotSober Ep.54

    We kick things off with a genuine séance for Caleb Williams and his hamstring — because if prayer works, a full-blown spell cast has to work better, right? From there, things spiral into a rant about the state of online advertising: the aggressive balding ads, the "we lied" TikTok Shop hustle, and how ad agencies have completely lost the plot. We also get into what makes a podcast authentic (and why we physically couldn't fake it if we tried), followed by a deep dive into a classic AP World thought experiment — if you put seven babies on an island with zero outside influence, do they develop greed, lying, and racism on their own? The answer might say more about us than them. Later, we break down TikTok vs. Instagram's algorithm, get nostalgic about Coolmath Games and Addicting Games, and discover the niche trivia goldmine that is Krillion. We also take a somber moment to remember Pokekid Avery, a 12-year-old Pokémon creator who brought genuine light to the community before losing his battle with cancer. Then we tackle the question of who's funnier — men or women — shout out Lisa Gilroy and Jordan Jensen, debate whether Ryan Murphy's Lizzie Borden series needed a steam-engine d****, and argue about whether able-bodied actors should play disabled characters (Bryan Cranston, Gary Oldman, and the kid from Glee all enter the chat). We close out with some questionable hip-hop lyric recitations and a reminder to keep the séance playing on loop for Caleb. If you enjoy show don't forget to subscribe and follow us on all platforms it helps a ton! we are closing in on 200 subscribers so seriously thank you to everyone! see you all next week.

    Thing About Life Is… It’s Every Day | SoberNotSober Ep.53

    This one gets real. We sit down in the therapist's chair and actually talk about it — the never-ending loop of work, bills, and just trying to survive. Why does everything cost money just to leave the house? Why does it feel like you have to sacrifice your time, your energy, or your sanity just to get ahead? And if you don't have a trust fund or a backing, what are your actual options? We also break down the Chicago Bears dropping 59 points in week one (Caleb Williams is him), why paying $465 for health insurance that doesn't even work at your local urgent care is criminal, how over-capitalism is squeezing the middle class dry, and why therapy helps you cope but can't pay your rent. No, we're not a political podcast. But we're also not going to pretend the world isn't on fire. So — how are YOU doing? Comment below. We're listening. Like, comment, and subscribe. We're trying to hit 200. Help us out.

    365 Days, 52 Episodes, 0 Dollars

    It's the one-year anniversary and we're celebrating the only way we know how — in suits we hate wearing, with scotch we can barely afford, and a 9/11 joke that should've stayed in the drafts. We reflect on 52 weeks of consistency nobody asked for, how we've grown as people (debatable), and why we still make zero money doing this. This week: Grant drops some big news about Animal Crossing that nobody saw coming, Mekaylay goes feral over Buc-ee's and won't shut up about it, and we somehow end up debating whether J. Cole lyrics could become religious scripture in 2,000 years. Plus — line readings, Tom Brady's parenting, why Grant wants to transition into an 85-year-old woman, and a heartfelt thanks to anyone who's still watching. We're trying to get to 200 subs before the end of the year. Like, comment, subscribe! Seriously thank you to anyone watching this or reading this Etc. We are trying to put more time and effort into each episode big things ahead. equipment upgrades are coming, art upgrades for the logo and such are coming as well and much much more. We are very grateful with how far we have come (which isn't very far but still further than we anticipated.) enjoy and we will see you all next week!

    There's A First Time For Everything | SoberNotSober Ep.51

    What would you give to experience your favorite things for the very first time again? This week, Grant and Mekaylay take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting the movies, games, albums, and moments they wish they could wipe from their minds just to relive the magic. From the first dragon kill in Skyrim and the jaw-dropping opening notes of Childish Gambino's "Awaken, My Love," to Happy Feet, GoldenEye marathons after trick-or-treating, and the electric rush of a first Fortnite Victory Royale — no first experience is off limits. But it's not all good vibes. The guys also dive into the disturbing and deeply divisive Lindsay Clancy case — a mistrial, a grieving family, and a justice system that can't seem to agree on what happened. Plus: Grant officially declares himself a Bears fan, the Good Good/Callaway disaster gets put on blast, Tom Hardy is apparently a Wu-Tang rapper now, and Dr. Pepper Tic Tacs get an unsponsored review. Oh, and a grandma's dog went missing mid-recording. so this is a complete redo. if you like to see part of the missing episode it will be on our patreon soon! New episodes drop weekly. Like, comment, and subscribe — or Grant will never play GTA V.

    We Haven't Mastered Anything | SoberNotSober Ep.50

    It's the big 5-0 and we're celebrating with golden snitch cookies, tequila, and absolutely zero composure. Grant and Mekaylay kick things off debating pre-gaming culture before diving into the legendary story of Sheldon — the most polite man on the phone who turned out to be a 6'5" Nigerian bodybuilder who benches 350 for fun. Mekaylay shares a dream he had about Grant showing up to the pod in full drag, Grant confesses to having two laundry baskets in his bedroom, and Mekaylay recounts the time his dad ripped a dab pen in a crowded restaurant and got thanked for his military service (he never served). Then things get philosophical with a new segment: Masters of Craft. The boys debate who the true GOATs are across music, film, YouTube, and beyond — from Michael Jackson and Ozzy Osbourne to Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lady Gaga, Donald Glover, and MrBeast's terrifying thumbnail empire. Plus: Grant goes on an Arsenal rant, Danny Worsnop's screamo Grinch cover gets its flowers, and the episode somehow ends with a passionate case for orca conservation and Mexican gray wolf rehabilitation. Shouts out Sheldon. Shouts out Hispanic wolves.
