This week on Sober Not Sober — Grant and Mekaylay are back and nothing is off limits. The duo dives deep into what it really means to have genuine people in your corner when life gets hard, sparked by a conversation about a legendary athlete going through one of the most public rough patches of his career — addiction, back surgeries, DUIs, and the question of whether the people around him are actually showing up. Grant breaks down a wild HBO documentary that goes inside the rise and fall of one of the greatest athletes of all time — Navy SEAL training that destroyed his knee (he still won the tournament), multiple back surgeries with rods, and a comeback that may be the greatest in sports history. They debate whether he's using pills out of addiction or genuine pain, whether his inner circle has failed him, and why Grant and Mekaylay are convinced they'd be the kind of real friends he actually needs right now. Also on the episode: Mekaylay's 85-year-old client who can't identify her neighbor's ethnicity, a grief deep dive into why old people say what they say, AI fruit people taking over TikTok, DoorDashing food that is literally 10 minutes away and absolutely zero shame about it, the tip jar guilt epidemic, Manscaped reviews nobody asked for, and Grant does a blind wine tasting while somehow connecting everything back to loyalty, friendship, and showing up.
