Why The Peaky Blinders Are So Sad

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 📧 [email protected] 📱 @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.
