Bryan Alvarez and Mike Sempervive talk about the biggest news in wrestling!

Send us a textWhat happens when two people with extensive recovery journeys sit down to talk about what they're still struggling with? Magic, vulnerability, and profound wisdom emerge.Dr. Samantha Harte welcomes Dave Meltzer – successful entrepreneur, sought-after keynote speaker, author, and as she describes him, "an amazing human" – for a raw conversation that quickly moves beyond the expected topics into deeply personal territory. Despite 16 years of sobriety and all the external markers of success, both open up about their ongoing internal work with disarming honesty.The discussion moves seamlessly between profound topics: the dangers of unhealthy codependency in recovery, the armor we build around our hearts even in loving relationships, and the poisonous nature of guilt and shame. Hart vulnerably shares her current work on disentangling from unhealthy patterns stemming from "mother hunger" while navigating a 22-year marriage rich with both love and betrayal. Meltzer offers his perspective on responding to our natural protective reactions rather than being controlled by them.Perhaps most moving is Harte's revelation about her evolving grief journey after losing her sister to a drug overdose three years ago. She describes how she's finally reaching a place where she can look for spiritual connection with her sister – something unimaginable to her even six months earlier. This leads to a fascinating exploration of spirituality, with Meltzer sharing his concept of "best option faith" and Harte contemplating the relationship between intuition, highest self, and God.Whether you're in recovery or simply interested in personal growth, this conversation demonstrates that healing is never "done" – it's a continuous unfolding that reveals new layers of awareness, connection, and meaning throughout our lives. Join these two authentic souls as they model what it means to keep showing up for your own growth while helping others with theirs.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Step behind the curtain and slip into the green-room chaos that only the 11SOFT club normally hears. This “Best of the Pre-Show” mixtape stitches together those hot-mike minutes when Kevin Nash, Sean Oliver and the full Kliq brain-trust empty the chamber before the red light blinks. It is unfiltered locker-room humor, half-baked concepts and very real belly laughs… all finally set loose. Ever wondered how a Gaylord Perry Man of the Year trophy, Bea Arthur, and a Florida cop-battling “multitasker” could all end up in the same awards show pitch? The gang's year-end brainstorm session is here, and it is gloriously off the rails. Sprinkle in a live critique of Mandy Rose's infamous “menu” and you begin to understand why these warm-ups sometimes eclipse the main program. Dave Meltzer's legendary paper tsunami office gets roasted in real time, complete with a forensic breakdown of his CRT monitor and Rolodex. From there the conversation ricochets to Corey Graves conspiracy theories, Pat McAfee's chaos energy, and a fantasy booking detour that leaves even Big Kev shaking his head. No topic is safe and every punchline lands stiff. Kevin's own life shows up too. You will hear the most honest play-by-play ever given of the IVF “walk of shame” and learn why a $4,500 two-night SummerSlam package made him reach for hazard pay. Add a side order of AEW attendance math, a cameo by Gain the Pride-Flag Kane, and a surprise ten-grand payday story for Mick Foley and you have the entire spectrum of wrestling's weirdest corners. This sampler is a love letter to the diehards who live for inside jokes and deep-cut lore. If you crack a smile here, imagine catching it live with the crew every week. Hit play, take the ride, then decide whether you are ready to join the 11SOFT club and hear tomorrow's insanity before anyone else.

One of those people is The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, who joins us on the show to talk about just that, as well as some other fallout from SummerSlam Weekend.
