Hello friends and welcome to another episode of Trudge Report. We kick things off with a quick around the horn segment. Corey is alive, Greg saw Beetlejuice on Broadway and Shawn III is here. 

We apologize to our listeners because we planned on having a recovery segment on the back half of the show but the boys got passionate and in-depth about NFL preview, rule changes, quarterback controversy, and even potential halftime show appearances. It's no secret that the four of us love sports and football and it is something we can talk about all day. If football is not your thing you might want to sit this one out however, we have a very special guest appearance at the very end of the episode.

The guys cover everything from kids’ football bruises and horror movie reviews to the left-lane offenders that make your blood boil. Corey relives his nightmare blood draw saga, Port St. Lucie gets roasted, and everyone weighs in on first-day-of-school chaos and whether kids should hand over their phones. Then it’s a deep dive into recovery — the heartache of watching friends relapse, why some never seem to get the magic back, and the balance between compassion and self-preservation. It’s a mix of laughs, hard truths, and the kind of real talk you only get on Trudge Report.

Welcome to this week's episode of Trudge Report. We have a quick around the horn segment where we all check in and tell how our weekends were. Greg and Corey spend some time discussing the epic SummerSlam 2025 from WWE. Bill has some hot seat on the spot questions for Shawn. We touch on the Happy Gilmore 2 movie, mislabeled energy drinks, and more. 

The main segment surrounds the spiritual and moral concept of water seeking its own level. This means that the people tend to gravitate towards others who share similar values, interests, energy levels, and spiritual beliefs. Being aware of the company you keep can influence your own personal growth and development. But we take this a step further and discuss how important it is to appreciate and celebrate diversity and not be afraid to expand our personal and community horizons.

This week on Trudge Report, the crew (minus Shawn) dives into a wild ride of memories, hot takes, and cultural farewells. We pay tribute to two larger-than-life icons: Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. From heavy metal mayhem to the golden age of wrestling, we reflect on their pop culture impact, personal stories and whether Ozzy or the Hulkster juiced harder, boosters included.

But it doesn’t stop there. Potentially our most cancellable episode yet, we hit knee jerk reactions on everything from AI job takeovers and career do-overs to the ethics of IVF, crypto regrets, allowance bribes and parenting in the apocalypse. Corey confesses his Dogecoin heartbreak, Greg wants to sell yachts and yes, we go way off the spiritual beam. Bill does his best game show host impression by putting the guys on the proverbial hot seat, and hilarity ensues. 

Whether you're sober, sober curious or just in for the nonsense, this one's packed with grit laughs and just the right amount of chaos.

Welcome back to another episode of Trudge Report. After a brief around the horn segment we take a moment to remember how cunning, baffling, and powerful the disease of addiction is. Reminding ourselves that we must always stay vigilant and that while we have fun on this podcast talking about recovery, our brothers and sisters are out there sick and suffering. It puts into perspective and makes the recovery work we do that much more important. 

The main event tonight is surrounding the topic of intimacy. The boys step out into some uncharted territory but also an area where each of us have had a multitude of experiences, both good and bad, ranging from the last 9 to 14 years. We talk about what real intimacy is. Not just the physical part of it with our girlfriends or significant others, but truly being there for a person, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Intimacy surrounding our friends, parents, and loved ones. We talk about what we were all like prior to sobriety and in early sobriety and how we have grown and developed that sense of intimacy as the years have gone by.

As long as we are building our foundation on anything less than Rock- will power, material security, other people, or our own resources- we are building upon sand, and great will be our fall.

Join us this week on another great episode of Trudge Report. The boys have a full recap of our friend's wedding that three out of four us attended in Pennsylvania over the weekend. There were some wild stories and antics that get discussed. Corey, still upset he didn't attend the wedding, dives into his concert going experience that took place this weekend and a new and first time experience for his kids. 

After that we jump into the main segment and Recovery based topic. It is a two-part topic. The first being about what we do or how we act when people accuse us of being brainwashed or part of and an occult. This flows right into the topic of how we deal with recovery disruptors, aka, people that consciously or unconsciously are trying to make things difficult for other members of the recovery group. How much love and tolerance is necessary? How far do we let these people go for they could affect the welfare of the group and of individuals. What methods and practices do we have to combat these people and is there an underlying lesson through it all?

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

The Crew is back in full swing with all four of us on the pod. Tonight we welcome Bill back from gallivanting around Italy with family. He shares some of the sights, food, and experiences from his trip. Janine pops on and shares one of her most embarrassing but hilarious personal stories from her honeymoon in Florence, Italy. 

The main portion of the episode deals in part 2 of the Karen Read case, mostly focusing on the second jury trial as well as some other details that we could not fit in the first episode. We break down some theories and give our amateur synopsis of what we think happened. We then delve briefly in the Sean Diddy Combs acquittal as well as the Bryan Kohberger case and plea deal.

No one has ever been offended by the lack of profanity.

Join us this week on a very special episode of Trudge Report. We dive into the complex and intriguing case of Boston police officer John O'Keefe's January 2022 death, exploring the investigation, strange details, and the highly publicized trial of his girlfriend, Karen Read. From the night of the incident, all the strange details, to the courtroom drama, we'll examine the evidence, witness accounts, and unexpected twists that have truly captivated the nation. Some may say that this is the present day OJ Simpson trial. Plus, we leave plenty of information and details for a part 2 episode, delving into the first mistrial and the second jury trial. We know this episode will keep you coming back.

When things are bad, double down on your spiritual life. When things are good, double down on your spiritual life.
