Grant and Mekaylay are back for episode 36, and this one has everything. Mekaylay kicks things off with the most cursed 48 hours imaginable — a dying guinea pig, helping his severely disabled dad get ready in the morning, a bird repeatedly flying into a client's windows, hundreds of moths taking over a house, and two baby quails dead on the back patio. The only logical response? Open every window, grab the sage, and tell whatever energy is living there to get out. Grant then dives into the heartbreaking tale of Andiamo — a small Scottsdale pizza joint that earned an 8.2 from Dave Portnoy and promptly collapsed under the weight of its own fame. A pizza none of us will ever get to try. Thanks, Dave. The two also get honest about addiction and recovery. Mekaylay is four years sober, and Grant is... well, Grant is very open about his relationship with the Caniac Combo. Some battles are still being fought. (You can't stop eating or you know...) Plus, Harley's uncle Craig makes a memorable appearance, and the guys tackle an AITA about a man whose dream of selling artisanal ketchup via live restaurant performance is being sabotaged by his unsupportive friends. Episode 36. We still here, and we're not going anywhere. so join us in all the fun and Subscribe.

This week, Mekaylay flips the script and puts co-host Grant in the hot seat for a special dating game show episode. Grant is 27, a sommelier, newly bald by choice, and — most importantly — very much single. Over the course of an hour, he walks through his ideal first date, what he's looking for in a partner, how he cooks for someone he's trying to impress, and why he needs an emotional connection before anything physical. He's thoughtful, surprisingly self-aware, a little self-deprecating, and genuinely ready to find his person. If you've ever wanted to know what Grant brings to the table — literally and figuratively — this is the episode.

Grant and Mekaylay are back in the studio (Harley & Domino are running the booth as always) for another hour-plus of the kind of conversation you didn't know you needed. This week: the boys debate whether civilization could have ever functioned without money — and somehow make a compelling argument. JD Vance gets roasted for being the most obvious political flip-flopper in recent memory. Trump posts an AI picture of himself as Jesus and people are actually mad about it for the wrong reasons. The Epstein files get brought up (allegedly). And Grant has a Plan Z that ends with him in a very comfortable Swedish prison. Also on the table: Irish twins and the husband stitch, cats absolutely ruining work calls, Jack Black deserving more credit than he gets, Toby vs. Andrew vs. Tom (the only Spider-Man debate that matters), the wine industry spoon-feeding you garbage with a smile, and why you don't actually have free will at the grocery store. Harley doesn't say much. The cats say too much. If you made it to the end, you know exactly what to comment.

We hit 100 subscribers and we're coming for Mr. Beef — I mean, Mr. Beast. In this episode: Mekaylays Adopted childs friends leaves a pile of sardines on her doorstep (the Chens energy hits different), Grant gets told he looks exactly like a McDonald's drive-thru worker's dad, and we somehow end up debating who's most ready to get after it between Prince and Freddie Mercury. Plus: Grant accidentally flags our last video on YouTube with an inappropriate title, we shout out a dark artist with a killer Memento Mori piece, and we spiral into Beatles discourse, celebrity couples, and whether Ringo is actually overrated. We wrap up with a real conversation about sobriety — what "wishful thinking" looks like when you're four years clean, and what it means to build your own toolkit without following a program. It's chaotic. It's honest. It's us. 🎙 Like, comment, subscribe — and if you backlog it, we love you anyway.

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.

Grant got a promotion and Mekaylay had to see the doctor—so naturally, we spent an hour talking about everything BUT that. This week: Grant celebrates his new job while simultaneously wishing unemployment on a coffee shop worker. We dive deep into famous functional alcoholics (Winston Churchill's breakfast whiskey, Stephen King's blackout novels, and Steven Spurrier's lifetime wine commitment). Harley gets called out for saying "Alan and the Chipmunks," and we can't let it go. Then things take a turn when we compare every horrifying physical exam technique we've experienced—from the "baby bird" method to the full grip-and-twist. If you've ever wondered whether doctors are just winging it when they check for hernias, this episode confirms it. Also: Mekaylay got his physical at a Walgreens? We have questions. Plus: Wright Brothers flight facts, Mike "The Situation's" neck brace, why Grant calls celebrities by their first names, and a heated debate about whether leaving beard trimmings in the sink makes you a monster. Subscribe, comment "boozy bulldog" if you made it this far, and email us at sobernotsober69@gmail.com for... reasons.

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.

We missed last week's upload because we lost the audio from our recording (Episode 20 and we FINALLY had our first technical failure - honestly surprised it took this long). BUT we're back with our FIRST EVER double cam setup! New backgrounds, new angles, same stupidity. In this episode: 💧 Grant reveals he's been spending $120/month ($1,100+ per year) on water delivery... when he could've been spending $15/month filling up jugs himself. We called Mekaylay’s mom live to confirm he's an idiot. 🚫 Mekaylay gets kicked out of an Old Town bar for wearing slides... while the bouncer has a wrinkled shirt and they're literally serving PB&Js. Oh, and their bathroom has ZERO walls between urinals. Make it make sense. 🕷️ Childhood trauma story: Mekaylay vs. a tarantula that bit him after he stuck his whole arm in a hole in the ground 🐗 Arizona wildlife tales: tarantula hawks, javelina births at the Mormon church, and why you need a strap on your trash can 🍺 Real talk about drinking responsibly, DUI stories from traffic school, and why questioning your habits is actually healthy Plus: Peaky Blinders discussion, Cillian Murphy fan-casting, medieval time travel scenarios, and why we're manifesting getting Cillian Murphy on the pod. https://www.dubby.gg/discount/SoberNotSober?ref=kffwcekm Use Code Sobernotsober for 10 percent off!
