Trudge Report

Join the crew this week as we are a man short with Greg on a little mini vacation, but he does pop in for a few minutes to say hello and make fun of Corey as per usual.

This week is a grab bag of topics, but we do debate and power rank best and worst Thanksgiving foods as well as our favorite desserts and pie. We do a quick whip around the NFL and then we talk about some trending topics such as a 950 lb cheddar cheese robbery and escaped monkeys from a South Carolina zoo.

The recovery topic is about navigating the holidays in early sobriety. Different things people can do on a logistical level but also on a spiritual level. Remembering that it is just another day, it can be an emotional trap for some, and we discuss ways to stay out of the misery and pack good things into the stream of life.

Join the trusty foursome this week on Trudge Report. Greg recaps his very different experience with a Star wars show. Shawn talks about his recent trip to Savannah, GA, for a cousin's wedding. Bill has fashion corner and the art of the catwalk. Corey talks about his big move to a new undisclosed location. Never use it for Shawn introduces a new segment where he fires off some random questions to the guys where they don't have any information on the questions beforehand.

The recovery segment is about romantic relationships in early sobriety. The boys have a host of experience on all sides of this topic. They shed light on the pitfalls but also the positives that have come out of each one of our familiarity with these situations. Each one of us comes from a genuine point of view and a true desire to be helpful.

Join us on Trudge Report this week as we bring in our first guest. His name is Robert and he is a good friend of Shawn's. Corey and Bill know him as well. Robert is a sober friend of ours. He loves all things Detroit including the surging Lions. We talk his background and growing up in Detroit. Where life has taken him, from Michigan to Las Vegas to South Florida. Robert has some great stories and is an upstanding member of the recovery community. Oh and by the way he is a movie star.

For the spirituality segment we let Robert bring a meditation reading that he chooses. It is an awesome reading and a little bit outside of the box from what we normally read. It produces a great discussion between the five of us. Join us for some laughs and some genuine recovery and heartfelt discussion.

The crew is back this week as all four of us are together. We start with some housekeeping items and then Bill recaps his weekend trip to Siesta Key with his daughter and the majesty of the white sand. Corey also does a recap of his Salem, Massachusetts trip with his wife. 

We deviate from what our planned topic was going to be. Greg poses a very deep, serious, and philosophical question to all of us. The question of good versus evil and how it may exist or may not exist. We talk for quite a while on this topic and our producer, Janine, chimes in with some of her own personal experience which we are very grateful for.

We finish off the episode with a reading that Bill brings and each one of us takes a turn talking about how the reading shows up for each of us in our own personal lives and how we interpret it.

Join the Trio of Trudge; Greg, Corey, and Shawn, this week as Corey previews his trip with his wife to Salem, Massachusetts, home of the wicked Salem Witch Trials.

Before we get into that we have some typical NFL discussion and the wild Hail Mary game-winning pass by Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. We also touch on an awesome bounce back week for Greg's Cleveland Browns and Jameis Winston. Quick touch on the world series that is very lopsided at the time of recording. Who knows how it will end up though. We have a joke segment and a brief Halloween historical segment.

The spiritual segment is brought to us again this week by Greg and a reading out of the Touchstones daily reader. The three of us break it down and share our experiences and opinions on the reading.

Happy safe and fun Halloween to everyone.

After both hurricanes Helene and Milton and the devastating tornadoes that whipped through parts of South Florida, our thoughts and prayers are with all of our listeners and their families.

Join us this week on Trudge Report as we go back in time a couple of weeks where Greg left us all a little tidbit of a cliffhanger of one of his own personal haunted stories. Shawn follows up with some fascinating information about the aforementioned Ohio Torso Killer from last week's episode. 

Before the spirituality segment, there is always some type of controversy surrounding the boys and their fantasy football league and this episode is no different. This week, Shawn brings a reading from Emmett Fox’s “Around the Year with Emmet Fox. A book of daily meditation readings. The boys break it down and share some insight and wisdom on it.

This week on Trudge Report, all four of the boys are back in action. We start out with a quick sports check-in with a look at all of our NFL teams and then we touch on the MLB playoffs that have been very entertaining thus far. Greg and Corey still have skin in the game with their teams playing, Bill and Shawn can only watch and enjoy.

During spooky season each of us are bringing a Halloween or spooky type topic to the pod. This week is Shawn's turn, and he brings the subject of the Black Dahlia murder from 1947 in Los Angeles. This case remains unsolved but nonetheless has a host of very interesting facts and theories. 

Also, this month each of us are taking turns bringing some type of recovery/ spiritual/ meditation reading to the pod and reading it and then each one of us share on it and break it down. This week is Greg's turn, and he brings a great reading that sparks a wonderful conversation and deep thought for all of us.

In this lively episode of The Trudge Report, Greg, Bill, and Corey serve up a mix of football fury, snack confessions, and some seriously spooky tales to kick off October. The Gang brushes up on some of the weekend's NFL games and Corey’s snack habits are under fire as the guys hilariously break down the pros and cons of late-night munchies and egg whites. If you’ve ever struggled to stay healthy while staring down a bag of Cheez-Its, this one’s for you!

But it’s not all snacks and sports—Halloween is on the horizon, and the team dives headfirst into the eerie world of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. From the haunted Annabelle doll to the chilling Amityville Horror, the guys explore the real stories behind the movies and debate whether these cases are true terror or clever hoaxes. With spine-tingling details and a healthy dose of skepticism, the conversation will have you questioning what goes bump in the night.

The guys finish off the evening with a meditation reading from Emmet Fox and a quick breakdown of the personal meanings behind that message. 

Whether you're a football fan, a health nut, or a horror enthusiast, this episode has a little something for everyone. Join us for a spirited conversation full of laughs, debates, and maybe even a few goosebumps as we kick off spooky season in style!

Join us this week on Trudge Report. Bill, Corey, Greg, and Shawn go down a list of the worst cities in America. With a mixture of crime, infrastructure, culture, and personal experiences, there are some obvious choices and some surprise selections. 

On the beam this week is the ever important topic of how we raise our kids in a home of recovery and in the world today. We each share our unique experience and perspective on raising children, how we teach them the principles of recovery, that blend with the principles of everyday living. Most importantly, being there for our kids, whether biological or not, at all times.
