What happens when sobriety becomes a cultural priority, not just a personal choice?

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we break down the Great American Recovery Plan and explore what it could mean if America truly shifted toward treatment over punishment, real recovery infrastructure, and accountability with support.

This conversation goes beyond politics and into culture, identity, performance, and leadership, especially for men navigating business, family, and health in a world built on distraction and sedation.

We also examine the broader recovery messaging gaining traction around:

• Mental health and addiction recovery

• Food quality and physical health

• Pharma dependence and long-term consequences

• Sobriety as personal sovereignty and leadership

We ask the uncomfortable questions:

• What industries struggle when people get clear-minded?

• Why is avoidance normalized while discipline is questioned?

• What changes when men stop numbing and start leading?

This episode isn’t about telling you what to think, it’s about helping you see the system clearly and decide for yourself.

If you’re interested in sobriety, recovery, mental clarity, personal growth, and high-performance living, this episode will challenge you, in a good way.

Reality TV isn’t just entertainment, it’s a mirror. And what it keeps reflecting back is worth questioning.

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane breaks down why reality TV consistently centers alcohol-fueled chaos, reckless masculinity, and emotionally unregulated men—and what that says about our culture’s relationship with leadership, performance, and sobriety.

From dating shows and house-based dramas to competition series and celebrity culture, alcohol isn’t just present—it’s the engine. The louder the conflict, the sloppier the behavior, the better the ratings. But at what cost?

Shane contrasts today’s reality TV landscape with earlier eras of television that celebrated responsibility, growth, and strong family dynamics—and asks a bigger question:
Why does modern media reward dysfunction while treating discipline

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane Ramer looks past the headlines and into what falling beer and alcohol sales actually signal about culture, stress, health, and how people are coping right now.

This isn’t about shaming drinkers or celebrating bankruptcy filings.
It’s about asking better questions.

Why are legacy beer brands struggling?
Why are younger consumers quietly opting out?
And why does every conversation about declining alcohol sales still avoid the obvious conclusion?

We unpack:

• The collapse of “drink because it’s normal” logic

• Why alcohol is losing relevance and not just market share

• How wellness, performance, and awareness are reshaping habits

• What the industry’s panic tells us about cultural change

• And why fewer people drinking doesn’t mean fewer people socializing

That Sober Guy isn’t just about quitting alcohol.
It’s about what happens after.

Do you think alcohol is actually losing cultural power — or just being rebranded?
