This week on That Sober Guy Podcast , the #1 sober podcast for men since 2014 - Shane sits down with Kansas City Chiefs defensive coach and Super Bowl Champion Britt Reid, son of legendary head coach Andy Reid.

Britt opens up about his journey through some of life’s darkest valleys: the devastating car accident just days before the Super Bowl that nearly claimed the life of a 5-year-old girl, his time in prison, and how he stumbled across That Sober Guy Podcast while behind bars. What started as a lifeline in a cell has grown into part of his path toward sobriety, redemption, and rebuilding his life.

The conversation also digs deep into Britt’s family history, including the heartbreaking loss of his older brother to a drug overdose, a story that is now also featured in ESPN’s brand-new docuseries “The Kingdom”, directed by Kristen Lappas (of The Last Dance fame). The six-episode series chronicles the Chiefs’ run to Super Bowl LIX and their global impact on football, but it also shines a light on the real-life struggles behind the highlight reels, including Britt’s.

As always, Shane keeps it authentic, raw, and even light-hearted at times. From gridiron glory to gritty sobriety work, this episode is about far more than football, it’s about second chances, personal ownership, and finding freedom.

👉 Actionable Takeaways from this episode:

No matter how far you’ve fallen, redemption is possible if you’re willing to put in the work.

Sobriety is a team sport, you can’t do it alone, but you can win with the right community.

Pain doesn’t have to define you; it can be the very thing that fuels your purpose.

If you’re ready to quit drinking, reclaim your power, and join a group of men who get it, join our free community — The Sober Guy Victory Circle — today.

Because let’s be real: life’s too short to let booze run the playbook.

We’ve all said it — “I’ll just have one.” Then one turns into three, and suddenly you’re at Taco Bell at 1 AM ordering 6 bean burritos with no onion and something that may or may not still be legal.

In this episode, we break down the myth of moderation and why “just one drink” is never just one for so many of us. We’ll explore the brain science behind cravings, how alcohol lowers your ability to stick to your own limits, and why the alcohol industry loves selling you the dream of “responsible drinking” — while quietly making sure you never stop.

We’ll cover:

🧠 The dopamine loop that makes moderation so difficult.

🕵️‍♂️ How “Drink Responsibly” is more marketing strategy than health advice.

💡 Why moderation keeps you in the cycle longer (and keeps Big Booze in business).

🤣 A few laughs along the way, because hey — sometimes you’ve got to laugh at the insanity of it all.

Actionable Takeaways:

Know your triggers: If “just one” always turns into more, that’s not a lack of willpower — it’s how alcohol works in the brain.

Redefine freedom: Freedom isn’t the ability to drink without consequence; it’s the ability to live without needing it at all.

You’ve heard it a million times: “Drink Responsibly.”

But what if I told you that’s just a well-polished PR stunt from the same industry that’s actively lobbying against your health?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on Big Booze’s billion-dollar playbook, and how the alcohol industry uses the warm-and-fuzzy “responsible drinking” slogan to distract from the shady stuff they’re doing behind the scenes. From funding biased research, to blocking cancer warning labels, to undermining new health guidelines, they’ve mastered the art of saying one thing while doing the exact opposite.

We’ll talk:

• Why “Drink Responsibly” is the equivalent of handing out kale at a Marlboro convention.
• How beer, wine, and spirits lobbyists are protecting profits at the expense of public health.
• Why the industry is terrified of new U.S. dietary guidelines and how non-alcoholic options are shaking up the status quo.
• The subtle ways you’ve been marketed to for decades without even knowing it.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Start questioning the messages you’ve been sold. If “responsible drinking” worked, would we need rehab centers on every corner?
2. Replace their slogan with a new one: “Live Intentionally.” Your health, your family, and your mind will thank you.

Big changes are brewing. U.S. health officials are expected to overhaul long-standing alcohol guidelines and the new science (and common sense person) says even one drink a day might be too much. In this episode, we unpack what these changes mean for you, the $250B alcohol industry, and why it’s time to ditch the “moderate drinking is healthy” myth once and for all.

We dig into the latest research, what’s really happening behind closed doors in Washington (and the boardrooms of Big Alcohol), and how this shift impacts men, fathers, leaders, and anyone trying to level up without the drag of booze.

You’ll also get a few solid takeaways to help you think clearly, lead better, and start showing up as your best self—without the crutch of “just one drink.”

🎯 Takeaways:

• Why the new guidelines are such a big deal
• What one drink really does to your brain and body
• Why high performers are quietly ditching alcohol
• How to start a no-BS reset that works

What do CEOs, pro athletes, and entrepreneurs have in common lately? They’re not just chasing ROI, they’re chasing clarity. In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we dive into the $11 billion non-alcoholic beverage boom and why more high-performing men are ditching the booze for better brainpower, deeper sleep, and a sharper edge in business and life.

From adaptogen-infused cocktails to hop-forward IPAs without the hangover, the NA market is exploding, and it’s not just for people with a “problem.” It’s for anyone who’s sick of feeling foggy and wants to show up clear, present, and powerful. We break down what’s driving this sober shift, how it’s disrupting traditional drinking culture, and why alcohol might be the biggest productivity killer you didn’t know you were hiring.

Actionable Takeaways:

• Try swapping one drink this week for an NA alternative and track how you feel — mentally, physically, and emotionally.
• Pay attention to your social settings: Are you drinking out of habit, pressure, or purpose?
• Get curious, not judgmental — experiment with being sober in high-pressure environments and see how you perform.
•

This week on That Sober Guy Podcast, we step into the ring with professional heavyweight boxer, author, speaker, and legit chess assassin Ed Latimore for a hard-hitting conversation on why real strength means choosing clarity over chaos.

We dive into the psychological warfare behind alcohol marketing, how society normalizes dysfunction, and why business owners, dads, and high-performing leaders are waking up and walking away from the booze trap. Ed breaks down the psyop of alcohol, the normalcy bias that keeps people stuck, and what it really takes to win in business and in life.

From the boxing ring to the chessboard to the boardroom, Ed shares his story of transformation, discipline, and how quitting alcohol gave him a competitive edge most men are too numbed out to notice.

It’s raw, insightful, a little funny, and all real talk—no fluff, no filters.

👊 Actionable Takeaways:

• How to identify and crush the mental programming that says “drinking is normal”
• Why leaders who ditch alcohol gain more energy, time, and clarity
• A simple mindset shift to start building true confidence and not booze-fueled ego
• How to play chess, not checkers with your personal growth

In this episode, we’re cracking open more than just cold ones, we’re cracking open the chaos behind one of the biggest brand faceplants in recent alcohol history. Bud Light's PR blunder cost billions, tanked its street cred, and left big beer brands scrambling like a frat boy who forgot finals week.

But this isn't just about beer. It's about identity, influence, and how the alcohol industry is getting a reality check as Gen Z and younger Millennials say, “Yeah, I’m good,” and reach for a coffee instead. We explore how the shifting culture around drinking is flipping the booze biz upside down, and why that’s actually great news for anyone trying to live clean, clear-headed, and free.

With a healthy dose of honesty and humor (because let's face it—this stuff is ridiculous and revealing), we unpack what big alcohol’s identity crisis means for your own transformation and why now is the perfect time to go against the grain and level up.

🔥 In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why Bud Light’s billion-dollar fumble isn’t just a marketing mistake, it’s a wake-up call.
• How sober living is becoming a power move, not a punishment.
• What you can learn from watching the alcohol industry panic like it's the end of prohibition.

💡 Actionable Takeaways:

1. Use industry trends as proof that you’re not the weird one, the world is shifting. Ride the wave.
2. Audit your environment: if alcohol brands are confused about who they are, are you crystal clear about who you want to be?
3.

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast—the #1 sober podcast since 2014—we take a hard but honest look at a new bill that would deport undocumented immigrants caught driving under the influence.

This isn’t about politics or taking sides, it’s about public safety, personal responsibility, and sobriety. We talk about how alcohol-fueled decisions can destroy lives, regardless of legal status, and how we can do better as a society.

We also ask some deeper questions:

Why is drunk driving still so normalized in many communities, legal status or not? And what kind of sober leadership is needed to shift that culture?

You can be compassionate toward people chasing the American dream and still hold the line on dangerous behavior.

Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense conversation with a few laughs thrown in because hey, it’s That Sober Guy, and we’ve been keeping it real since 2014.

Is alcohol finally losing its cool? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we dive into a question more and more people are starting to ask: Is booze becoming the new cigarette? Once glamorized, now scrutinized, alcohol might be heading for a cultural downgrade.

We break down the data showing the massive shift in drinking trends, including the rise of non-alcoholic drinks, declining alcohol sales, and how more high-performing men are ditching the booze to level up in business, relationships, and mental clarity. From concerts to ball games to boardrooms, being the sober guy is no longer lame. In fact, it's becoming a superpower.

You’ll hear real talk, a few laughs, and maybe even a flashback to that old baseball coach who smelled like a distillery and told you to “walk it off.” Spoiler alert: He’s not the vibe anymore.

Actionable Takeaways:

• Rethink the “normal” social script—being sober doesn’t mean being boring.
• Start tracking how alcohol actually impacts your energy, mood, and performance.
• Try swapping booze for a quality NA beer or sparkling hop water next time you’re out.
