The Mugly Truth Podcast

Today we talk about the myths and benefits of meditation. You don't have to sit cross legged, atop a peaceful, grassy knoll, detaching in transcendental bliss for hours at a time. Just a few minutes a day can bring you a connection to your true self, decrease anxiety and stress, and improve overall health. If Deepak Chopra says it's true, we believe him.

PSST! Don't look behind you but...yeah...January is still there. Lurking, glowering, chilly. Not Christmasy. Why is January the longest month of the year and is Post-Hoiday Blues really a thing? We're pretty sure they are. If you're feeling any of this, then today's episode is all for you!

Today we reflect on the first couple weeks of January and 2020 and then discuss the Best Days list from Old Farmer's Almanac (not to be confused with The Farmer's Almanac). The list chronicles the best days to begin activities, some of which are pretty germane to farming but others may just surprise you.

2020 starts with a zenbang! We're talking about all kinds of chill, zen practices and beliefs like letting go, control is an illusion, and signs of maturity, all with our typical goofy style, including some colorful language, guffaws, and detours.

If you're anything like us, you didn't even think about a full decade ending tonight...we've been so focused on the year that was 2019, we kind of derailed when we realized nope, not just one, but TEN whole years are coming to a close. So today isn's a retrospective on 2019, but for 2010 through this year. And like all pre-teens and teenagers, it was a decade of ups, downs, emotions, growth, frustrations and celebrations. Hello Roaring 20's, we're ready for you!

Today is just a short and fun episode playing catchup with each other with a bit of innuendo, holiday cheer, music and most of all good wishes for all who celebrate Christmas!

Today we talk about some of our favorite things: Food, food, and ah...food. Christmas food to be exact – from all over the world! From panettone to baklava to saffron buns to whale blubber...you might just find a new dish to add to your holiday menu!

We had so much fun testing your knowledge about all things Thanksgiving, we decided to continue testing you with all things Christmas! So yet again grab your pens and paper, or just think along, and see how much you thing you know about Christmas.

Today's episode is rated I for IMMATURE. Maybe even II for IMMENSELY IMMATURE. But smattered in and around the 5th grade level "jokes" (it's possible this is even NSFW) there's actually a fun and potentially interactive quiz you can play along and try to beat all your friends, family, kids, or the guy in the car next to you at. So. If you think you know Thanksgiving (and even a bit of Christmas), get ready to be stumped with these crazy and possibly slightly inaccurate trivia questions!

ALLLLLLLABOOOOOOOOARDDDDD!

Since it's still November we're still talking about Gratitude but this time it's wrapped up in cozy goodnewsnetwork.org stories! So...GRATITUDE and GOOD NEWS is today's destination, because we need more of that in the world. Why are you still here? GO! Get on board because the G-Train is taking off for a wild ride!
