Trey Tuck is back on the mic with major updates and even bigger takes. First up: Trey shares what’s been new over the past few weeks—including his acceptance to lead a workshop at the 2025 Changemakers Summit in Hartford this November. Big moves, big impact.


Then we dive into the wild world of entertainment. Trey thinks Thunderbolts is better than Fantastic Four, and he’s got the receipts. Plus, we spotlight a viral post about The Long Walk, a new movie screening that literally makes viewers walk at 3 mph during the film. Stop moving, and you're escorted out. It’s immersive, it’s bizarre, and it might just be the future of cinema. On the sports side, the Cowboys just traded Micah Parsons to the Packers—and the return? Two future first-round picks and Kenny Clark. That’s it. No young talent, no immediate help. Just a generational pass rusher gone and a whole lot of questions left behind. We break down the deal, the fan reactions, and whether Jerry Jones just made a genius move or a massive mistake.

 Plus, we call out the obvious in the news cycle—politicians lie (shoutout to this viral clip)—and Trey’s got thoughts. This episode’s got momentum, madness, and a whole lot of Werk. Tap in and keep it moving.
