Grant ordered Chick-fil-A and they wrote Dwayne on his coffee. Not Greg, not Trent, not Trevor — Dwayne. We break down exactly how a 5-letter name turns into The Rock. We also talk about the pierogi place that has us absolutely stunned, the movie Obsession and why a 26-year-old just raised the bar for everyone, The Boys finale, horror movie recommendations, and whether VeggieTales belongs in a public school classroom.

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.
If you are here for just the AITA, they start at the 30 minute mark! Regardless thank you for checking us out! Grant and Mekaylay are back doing what they do best — going off on random topics and somehow making it all connect. This week: white guys with dreads, a guy on an e-scooter drinking a gallon of milk, the future of streaming and where your favorite sports are gonna end up, why celebrity podcasts are annoying, Severance vs Succession (Mikale mixed them up), and a reality TV pitch involving a politically divided cruise ship that honestly has legs. Oh, and they're introducing a new segment — Am I the A**hole. the end of the episode is great we promise we laugh so hard we cry. Same as always, just two friends talking nonsense for an hour. Come hang.
It's been FOUR YEARS since Mekaylay got sober — and we're celebrating with extremely cool dollar tree party poppers & balloons. Grant works in wine (NOT drunk, we swear — episode 34 disclaimer), and together we cover everything important in the world right now. This week: Grant's legendary 8th grade Athlete of the Year moment, the glory and brutality of working in the service industry on Mother's Day, chafing in slacks, and why cruise ships are basically WALL-E in real life. Oh, and there's a new disease spreading from Argentinian rats — cool cool cool. We also get into the Monkey App, Scientology trolling content, Breath of the Wild being lowkey anime-coded, and a TikTok cooking account that will leave you questioning everything. Plus: our YouTube analytics say our entire audience is 13-17 year old boys. We are so sorry. Please turn this off. 🐶 Harley makes an appearance 🐱 Domino & Bing are a nuisance as always 📺 Find "Mother's Cooking" on TikTok (don't say we didn't warn you) Like, comment & subscribe — it's literally free and means everything to us. 📧 Email us at: Sobernotsober69@gmail.com
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.
This week on Sober Not Sober, Grant and Mekaylay tackle two very old things: a 10-year-old Tuscan Beef MRE purchased from the USS Iowa gift shop nearly a decade ago, and a 20-year-old bottle of Cucamonga Valley Zinfandel from Temecula. Spoiler: the cracker tasted like gym socks, the coffee was basically hot water, and the wine was corked. A sommelier and a recovering alcoholic suffering through expired military rations is exactly the content you didn't know you needed. Also on this episode: 🪖 Shouts out to the soldiers — we respect the sacrifice even more now 🌏 Is China actually ahead of us?

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.
Grant and Mekaylay are back with a brand new setup — broadcasting from the West Coast studio in Burbank as they work toward building out their full multi-city operation. In Episode 30, we dive into what we'd actually do with unlimited free time (spoiler: neither of them really knows), Grant's new job and surprisingly relaxed schedule, the ongoing saga of his $120/month water delivery he still hasn't canceled, and his long-overdue discovery of what a 401k actually is. The episode goes sideways in the best way possible — Mekaylay accidentally knocked a bird's nest out of a tree during yard work, a mystery rapper and his entourage trashed an Airbnb Mekaylay company was hired to clean, Arsenal's Champions League chances, the Bears' cheese grater hats, Bo Burnham being the only one who can fix the world right now, and whether or not you can milk a bird (crop milk is real, look it up). They also address the antisemitic comments they keep getting on their clips, keep it real about the state of the world, and cap things off with thoughts on the new Super Mario Bros. movie. If you've made it this far — comment "the state of Israel" so they know you're real. Like, subscribe, and follow everywhere.
