It was a good conversation.Then it was gratitude, 8675309, Dr. Oz and his new drinking guidelines, emails and messages, a fun quote, old episodes and airline problems.We wrapped up with a Florida man, his Mustang and an airport.Enjoy the episode.Vote For Us - Best Podcast Through April 11, 2026 (Links Below)Sans Bar Academy Awards - Vote HereDirect Link https://www.thesansbar.com/sba-2026-awards-finalistsWebsite www.sobernotmature.comSans Bar www.thesansbar.comVisit us Podcast www.sobernotmature.comStore www.sobernotmatureshop.comHobo www.themoderndayhobo.com

This week we have...It's our 4 Year Podcast Anniversary Spectacular! (with Mike and Bill, of course)Mike started off with his reading and it was focused on honesty. We were not truthful, we believed our own BS and we had very little integrity. Until we got sober. It was a good reading and a good conversation.And yes! We have been doing this podcast thing for 4 years already. We talked about the beginning a little bit, a fun email that we received early on and dug into the type of "format" that we are. The main thing is that we are still having fun and we know that we have the ability to help a few people here and there.There is also a new baby in the family! Listen in for all of the details.And Bill was watching his grandson for 4 days while his daughter and son in law were at the hospital with the newborn. It's been a few years and it's definitely a younger person's game. Lastly, we talked about "functional medicine." Neither of us had heard of it before, but it came up on another sobriety podcast and it's pretty interesting.This is the real last thing; From both of us, a sincere thank you for listening to us and our nonsense over the last 4 years. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!Enjoy the Episode.Vote For Us - Best Podcast Through April 11, 2026 (Links Below)Sans Bar Academy Awards - Vote HereDirect Link https://www.thesansbar.com/sba-2026-awards-finalistsWebsite www.sobernotmature.comSans Bar www.thesansbar.comVisit us Podcast www.sobernotmature.comStore www.sobernotmatureshop.comHobo www.themoderndayhobo.com

Or just more of the same.Mike started out with his reading and it was about the past. What was it like before we got sober? What did we gain with sobriety? The positives definitely outweigh the negatives and it was a good conversation.We chatted about the break even point, getting results, Dick Van Dyke is 100, burning bridges, a hit and run, more Joe Rogan and Spotify Wrapped.There was also an encounter with a Rottweiler.

Other people being able to count on us and being able to count on ourselves. A great topic and a great conversation.We jumped into how people look at good years and bad years, Danny Trejo, thinking about drinking and slips, a surgery wrap up, Joe Rogan and Jeremy Renner, spreading the message and our sense of humor. When did we get it back after we got sober.We even talked about the weather and how the folks in The Lake of The Ozarks can't handle snow. Last thing. The insult of the week; "Dumber than a bag of hair."Enjoy the episode. Visit us Podcast www.sobernotmature.comStore www.sobernotmatureshop.comHobo www.themoderndayhobo.com

This week we have...The Gratitude Episode! (With Mike and Bill)To be completely honest, we didn't fall over ourselves trying to make this just a Gratitude Episode. We try to live that way every day and hopefully it shows.Mike started out with his reading and it was about saying thank you. Those are two very simple words, but do we use them enough? Do we truly appreciate when someone is kind to us? It takes work to be kind and we should say thank you more often. It was a good topic.We talked about justifiable anger, repacking our bags each day, some other podcasts, painful memories and Nurse Jackie.We also came across a few articles that were fun. A racist soup executive, saving a dog from a fake fire and Slender Man.Enjoy the episode.Visit us Podcast www.sobernotmature.comStore www.sobernotmatureshop.comHobo www.themoderndayhobo.com
