The game itself should be enough. And who you watch the game with should add to that, but why muck it up? It's supposed to be fun. Sports give you an escape that I can't get anywhere else. But allowing drinking and gambling to come in and steal the love of the actual game itself - that's just tragic.

With a mix of humor and heartfelt honesty, Dan and Ty explore how they've reclaimed their passion for football without the cloud of addiction, emphasizing the importance of enjoying life's pleasures in a healthy, genuine way. This episode is a candid reminder that it's possible to find joy and connection in our favorite activities without relying on substances.
