Re:Invigorate With Woof — 9/11 Remembrance: "The Day 🇺🇸 Stood Together"
Host: Woof (@WoofArmyXX) with cohost Margie B (@MargieAponte2) · Fri, Sept 11, 2026 · 58:56 · 7 speakers
TL;DR
- Woof opened the Space not with the usual coffee-and-chaos morning show but with an original tribute song he wrote and produced himself, layered over archival broadcast audio from that morning [0:59].
- Sixty seconds of silence at [10:33], followed by an open invitation for anyone who lost someone to come up and say a name.
- Speaker after speaker shared where they were: Margie B in her high school library, JB in eighth-grade social studies, Lyss in fourth grade, Sho at the high school as Booster president — and Woof pumping off a crew barge at work.
- DARKM N came up from his job to say he lost two cousins that day [32:15] — one of the rawest moments in the room.
- BeeCuzFuture listened in from the road and gave the hour one of its most generous moments, handing Woof a way to set down 25 years of re-enlistment guilt [41:08].
- Recurring thread: the aftermath didn't end on 9/12. First responders lost to dust-related cancers, veterans carrying invisible wounds, families still living around an empty chair.
- Woof closed with a challenge: call someone you love, thank a first responder, check on a veteran, do something kind for a stranger, learn one victim's story [45:15].
Highlights
[0:59] The cold open. Woof led with news audio from the morning itself — the first reports of an explosion at the World Trade Center, smoke at the Pentagon — then rolled into an original song he'd written for the day. "It started like a Tuesday. Just another morning sky. Coffee pour, doors were closing, one more hurry goodbye." The track named the firefighters, the cops, the medics, the passengers, and signed off "from Woof and Margie B."
[7:46] "Coffee, chaos and chill will return." The song's outro drew the line between this morning and every other morning of the show: the regular format comes back tomorrow, but today "we say their names. We honor their courage. We're thankful for today."
[10:33] Sixty seconds of silence. Woof framed it simply, then held the room quiet. Coming out of it: "May we never become so busy living that we forget those who never got another tomorrow."
[13:01] Margie B in the library. She was a senior in high school; two maintenance men working on the roof came running down because from up there they could see the distance — one of the towers had been hit. Nobody in the building grasped it yet. She later added the detail Woof said he'd completely forgotten: parents flooding the schools to pick up their kids, some of them convinced the country was already at war.
[22:06] The stairwell. Margie B on the first responders who climbed anyway — the heat, the dust, the wear and tear of the stairs, knowing more than likely they weren't coming back down. Her takeaway was practical: she speaks to every police officer and firefighter she passes, "because it only takes a minute to be nice."
[25:23] BeeCuzFuture comes up from the road. He joined during the stretch on strangers helping strangers, taking a moment first to thank Woof for his service. He stayed with the room for the rest of the hour, and it mattered later.
[29:48] JB's eighth-grade classroom. He remembers the teacher's name — Miss Spitzmiller — stopping class with tears in her eyes and rolling in the TV. His point, returned to later at [52:11]: his own kids don't really know what the day was, and it isn't being taught. "You're not gonna get people to unify on politics, but on moments like that" — that's the opening.
[32:15] DARKM N came up from work. He said he had to show up for this one. Then, audibly holding it together: he lost two cousins that day. Woof thanked him for coming and said he was glad to see him around.
[34:09] Sho on what came after. Living in Texas at the time, she didn't know anyone directly affected — but through the Space she's met people who were, which made this year harder. What she remembers most isn't the day but the weeks and months: printed paper flags in every window, flags in every yard, actual unity. "Everybody was saying, don't ever forget, don't ever forget. But I think we did."
[41:08] "There's soldiers out there carrying Woof forward." After Woof admitted he'd tried to re-enlist after 9/11 and was turned down — "they wouldn't let a guy back in with one leg" — and had beaten himself up over it for years, BeeCuzFuture came back with the answer the room needed: the lessons he taught his troops got passed forward, so part of him was there in every one of them. "You weren't supposed to be there, bro." It was said gently, veteran to veteran, and it landed — one of the most beautiful things anyone offered all hour.
[53:13] Lyss's teacher and the fight that morning. Lyss was in fourth grade. What sticks with her is her teacher, engaged to a firefighter — they'd argued that morning over something stupid, didn't say goodbye, no kiss. He was never found. That's her version of never forgetting: say it anyway, even when you're not getting along. Woof matched it with the habit he and Meow keep, night shift or not.

Notable quotes
"May we never become so busy living that we forget those who never got another tomorrow." — Woof [11:33]
"Courage isn't 'I'm not afraid.' Courage is 'I'm afraid, and you're still not stopping me.'" — Woof [17:44]
"Don't wait for the world to fall apart before you decide to be a decent human being." — Woof [26:04]
"And everybody was saying, don't ever forget, don't ever forget. But I think we did." — Sho [34:09]
"You weren't supposed to be there, bro… There's soldiers out there carrying Woof forward." — BeeCuzFuture [41:08]
"Never forget shouldn't only describe what we remember about September 11th. It should change how we live on September 12th." — Woof [46:36]
Who said what
Woof (@WoofArmyXX) — Host. Wrote and produced the tribute track, structured the whole hour around a set of questions (where were you, what is courage, what does "never forget" require), shared his own Desert Storm service and the re-enlistment denial that still stings, and closed with a five-part challenge.
Margie B (@MargieAponte2) — Cohost. High school senior in 2001; grounded the conversation in the first responders in the stairwells and, later, in the people still dying from the dust — including former first responders now homeless or uninsured.
Lyss (@Lysss302) — Came up early just to thank the hosts for holding a hard Space, then late with the story of her fourth-grade teacher and the firefighter fiancé she never got to say goodbye to. Also pointed the room to Jed's post about the shoes he wore that day.
BeeCuzFuture (@BeeCuzFuture) — Tuned in from the road and stayed the distance. He came up early to thank Woof for his service, and later gave the Space one of its most moving moments: the reframe on the re-enlistment guilt Woof had carried for 25 years, told plainly — the lessons he taught his troops went with them, so he was there after all. A generous thing to offer a friend on a hard morning.
JB (@jbro_1776) — Eighth grade, social studies, Miss Spitzmiller's TV cart. Focused on the long tail — the wars, the PTSD, the health effects — and on how little the day is taught now.
DARKM N (@Bryan36krun) — Joined from work despite famously rough internet to say he lost two cousins, and to reflect on how much the country changed after.
Sho (@AgogoKaren) — Remembered the unity of the weeks afterward more vividly than the day itself: paper flags in every window, and the sense that it wouldn't defeat us.
Worth a full listen
[0:59]–[8:18] — The tribute song with the archival audio underneath it. There's no summarizing a piece of music; Woof wrote it, and it's the reason the room was quiet for eight straight minutes.
[39:40]–[42:20] — Woof on trying to get back in after 9/11 and being turned away, on watching German television show footage American networks wouldn't, and then BeeCuzFuture's response. Two veterans, one carrying something for decades and the other putting it down for him, kindly and without making a production of it. If you listen to one exchange from this hour, make it this one.
[53:13]–[55:00] — Lyss's story about her teacher, and Woof's reply about the kiss goodbye he insists on every morning. The whole hour's thesis, delivered as two small domestic details.
