Ep. 9 - Total Eclipse of the Trudge: From WWE to WWASP: Personal Testimonies From Former Teenage Hardknocks
Apr 09, 2024
Bill, Shawn, Corey, Greg

First, we have a quick Around the Horn segment where we get NFL updates and some info on the solar eclipse mania before moving into Corey's travels to WrestleMania. 

We devote this entire episode to the Netflix documentary, The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnappings. Greg gives a brief intro and he and Corey give their opinions on the show. Next Bill gives his personal experience at the different programs he attended as a teenager and the struggles therein. Followed by Shawn giving a full breakdown of the documentary and his 16 months as a client at a WASP program in Jamaica, called Tranquility Bay. Our conversation stretches to the ethical dilemmas faced by parents, the communication breakdowns that these programs foster, and the long-term effects that linger for those who've walked their corridors. The boys ask different questions and look into further ramifications for the founders and directors of the WASP programs.
