In this episode of The Greg and Tim Show, we sit down with Catie St. Germain for an honest and wide ranging conversation about growth, discomfort, motherhood, and choosing courage over comfort.Catie shares what it was like growing up in a musical family connected to Big Sky Country, feeling intimidated by the talent around her, and stepping into the spotlight anyway. From fronting bands in Winnipeg to performing in front of massive crowds with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, her journey has been anything but linear.We talk about raising three boys, including her oldest son with Down syndrome, navigating postpartum struggles, mom guilt, anxiety, and the constant tension between protecting your peace and pushing yourself forward. Catie opens up about how asking for support, promoting her own music, and stepping outside her comfort zone has led to unexpected growth and momentum.This episode also dives into writing from low points, storytelling in country music, hearing her song added to SiriusXM Top of the Country, and what legacy truly means when the stage lights turn off.If you have ever felt stuck, hesitant to ask for help, or uncomfortable putting yourself out there, this conversation will resonate.Thanks for spending time with us.If you enjoyed the conversation, make sure to subscribe, like, and share so you never miss an episode.

What happens when a singer-songwriter also works as a train engineer?In this episode of the Greg and Tim Show, we sit down with Matt Ivall — a singer-songwriter who lives a truly unique double life. By day, he’s a train engineer working across Canada. By night (and in between shifts), he’s writing songs, chasing creativity, and building a music career one story at a time.Matt opens up about how he writes his music, where his songs come from, and the moments that inspire him — including writing a song in just minutes and even naming one live in the studio. We also talk about how he met his partner Alyssa, how relationships fit into a demanding work schedule, and what it’s really like balancing passion with practicality.The conversation goes beyond music and railways. We get personal, ask some lighthearted questions, and dig into what it means to pursue something you love without walking away from responsibility. And of course, we wrap things up with our favourite game — This or That — where things get fun, fast, and unpredictable.If you’ve ever felt torn between a steady career and a creative dream, this episode will hit home.🎧 Listen, watch, and subscribe for more real conversations with interesting people and unexpected stories.🎧 Watch, listen, and get to know Matt Ivall beyond the music.Matt Ivall (All the Links)Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7efZfb7ErhF7nFJGXgWEcEInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matt.ivallApple Music: https://music.apple.com/za/artist/matt-ivall/1607762789Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B09RK2GCG7/matt-ivallYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkaJMaGzdZee3oUBhAGc1ASecond Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnPhO_Zvrr4&list=OLAK5uy_k9XpmYFSy-2eZGMxOauR3HoO_NMKG4wUQThanks for spending time with us.If you enjoyed the conversation, make sure to subscribe, like, and share so you never miss an episode.

What happens when your identity is built on image… and then the image starts to fade?In this episode of The Greg and Tim Show, we sit down with Shaun Zimmer for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about ego, pride, faith, freedom, and finding your identity in Christ. Shaun opens up about the moment hair loss exposed how much validation he was chasing, why he stepped away from shaping his appearance, and what it looked like to go from resisting church to following Jesus.We also talk about addiction, men’s vulnerability, hearing God’s guidance, staying grounded when criticism hits, and Shaun's off-grid “Ark on wheels” school bus journey—built to handle minus 40 and plus 40—while still living in a world he’s trying not to be owned by.If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming… this one will hit.🎧 Watch/Listen to more episodes + blogs: gregandtimshow.ca👍 Like, Subscribe, Comment (sharing is caring… Tim’s words, not ours)Thanks for spending time with us.If you enjoyed the conversation, make sure to subscribe, like, and share so you never miss an episode.

In this episode of The Greg and Tim Show, we rant about:- Being stuck in customer service phone hell (press 0 for “representative” 😡)

- “Pre-Black Friday” emails, “better deals tomorrow,” and mystery gifts you never get

- Black Friday vs Cyber Monday vs Boxing Day in Canada- The rise of online shopping & Amazon vs in-store browsing

- Whether downtown malls like Portage Place can ever come back to life

Weirdly nostalgic COVID memories: drive-in church, empty roads, cheesecake, and curbside pickup🛒 We want to hear from you:

Do you still go to the mall or is it all Amazon now?Are you a Black Friday / Cyber Monday / Boxing Day shopper… or do you just pay full price?

Do you avoid downtown because it feels unsafe, or just… unsightly?

👇 Drop a comment and tell us:Are malls dying, and are these “deals” even real anymore?

This week on The Greg and Tim Show, we kick things off with a deep dive into the chaos and comedy of group chats. Who’s responding, who’s lurking, and why does every group chat have that one silent member?We also recap our recent trip to Elkhorn Resort — the highlights, the stories, and a few things we probably shouldn’t share — before taking a moment of silence for the Toronto Blue Jays, who didn’t quite make it in the World Series.Then it’s time to debate: are guys trips or girls trips better? We break down the differences, the dynamics, and the reasons each one hits differently.Tune in for stories, laughs, and a classic Greg and Tim back-and-forth you won’t want to miss.www.gregandtimshow.caThanks for Watching!📌 Connect with us on social media:Instagram: @GregAndTimShowX: @GregAndTimShowTikTok: @GregAndTimShowFacebook: facebook.com/GregAndTimShow#GuysTripsVsGirlsTrips#TheGregAndTimShow#BlueJays
