It’s summer & it’s scorchio! For many of us, holidays used to mean one thing—drinking from the moment we reached the airport until we came home.

In this episode, Rich & Ben unpack why alcohol became such a big part of their idea of the perfect holiday and how they’ve learned to let go of that belief.

As two sober guys, they share the challenges they’ve faced, the tools that help them stay on track, and the incredible rewards of experiencing holidays with a clear head. The best souvenir from any trip is coming home with no regrets. 100%.

Rich is back from honeymoon looking bronzed, the next Bond? And shares an interesting encounter from the Gents. Do you piss with your T-Shirt up?! Plus, Ben learns about the perils of Japanese Knotweed after a visit to his mates at the tip.

Actor, Morgan Freeman is LA Sober & “in the frame”, & who’d like to see a Rich & Ben sober travel series? Mmm, food for thought.

The sober world is buzzin’, hop on board with Rich & Ben, The Sober Men: The Podcast.

Rich reveals a new penchant for hard boiled eggs, but how do you like your soldiers, bread or toast?! Rich & Ben also share their joy of a sober World Cup & after their 0-0 draw with Spain, Ben is adamant he’s going to find a family connection to his new favourites, Cape Verde.
