God help me with my thinking!
On this episode of The Cup of Joe Show, we sit down with Bob T., a 74-year-old powerhouse of transformation whose sobriety journey began on Groundhog Day, 1984—a fitting metaphor for a life once stuck in a loop of rage, insecurity, and resentment.
Nicknamed “Pop Off” for his explosive temper, Bob takes us through the raw and real story of how a sponsor named Dale, a painful emotional bottom, and the unwavering support of the fellowship helped him move from fury to freedom.
Bob shares what it was like to spend 18 months on Step One, how grief nearly derailed his recovery, and how fear often hides behind anger. With hard-earned wisdom and deep humility, he reveals how gratitude, service, and emotional honesty saved his life.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
