Two Gomers Podcast

No, this ep isn’t about whether our body-image is healthy enough to run around naked on the field during a football game. We are talking about consistency streaks – like when you run for a week in a row, or eat a healthy meal every day for a month, or close your rings for 541 days without stopping, or when you do Wordle a lot. Do streaks – and one’s adherence to them (or lack thereof) – help or hurt in a journey toward health? The guys dig in to the pros and cons, and discuss an alternative that might help them, and you. Plus more grocery store clips, a healthy amount of Dune Part Two Chaaaaaat, and Bob Dylan too. Happy Streaking!

Having trouble settling down before bed? That could be bad for your health. And your sleep. And your morning. And your day. Repeat ad infinitum. The guys talk about what it takes to separate from the business of the day and get ready for night in this, the second ep in the Truman “Have a Good…” series. Circadian rhythms! Seinfeld routines! Sunglasses at night! Pillow talk boundaries! And a very mysterious event that they can neither confirm or deny, that happened already, so I guess we can confirm it now? Have a good evening!

In Part II of our 400th episode, we continue digging into our first Core Question, going deeper and getting more personal. Plus, What’s Giving Us Life, the return of Songs To Run To, and of course, a ton plus ton fun stuff along the way.

We mark our 400th episode by asking our first Core Question. It’s about where we seek validation, why we seek approval, and how doing so in unhealthy ways can be an unwelcome giant in our lives. And it is such a beefy topic (with so much amazing input from the Gomernation) that we had to split it in two! This is Part I, complete with What’s Giving us Life and the return of Gomers’ Tips of the Week…plus SO much fun stuff along the way, and one heck of a cliffhanger. Happy 400, and here’s to 400 more!

We continue our annual tradition of picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year, and it’s Steven’s turn. But first, a fun way he has been keeping track of when he’s read what books this year, and reading recommendations while he’s at it. Then he reviews last year’s word before a soul-searching discussion of aging (and staging) in 2024. Happy New Year!

We kick off 2024 with our annual tradition: picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year. It’s Anthony’s turn, but first, one more (musical) Favorite Thing from 2023. Then he remembers (ha) last year’s word and talks about how it went before a deep discussion of hope and dreams for 2024. Tune in next week for Steven’s word, and Happy New Year!

On this blessed day-before-day-before-day-before-Christmas, it’s Gomers’ Favorite Things! Food! Shoes! Apps! Beds! TV! Movies! And Steven’s annual What’s New in Milk? segment.

What are we chasing, really? The guys go deep about how they want to live the second half of their lives, what they want to be known for, and how do to that in a success-driven world. Fame and glory? We’ll leave that to Indiana Jones. Plus, Turkey Trots in review and a Christmassy What’s Bringing Us Life This Week.

**The Turkey Trot starts at the 6 minute, 35 second mark!** It’s our first Turkey Trot Audio Guide, and the guys talk you through a 45 minute race, alternating between running for 3 minutes and walking for 1. And they use the time to its fullest, “clearing their queue” of unfinished business, un-addressed Runner’s Blocks, Perfect Movies they haven’t put on trial and never will, unrecorded Two Gomers Seasons, and unread notes that Anthony wrote. Hopefully this makes your race…well…race by! Happy running, and Happy Thanksgiving!

As Thanksgiving approaches, we have home cooking on the mind (and in the stomach), so we’re devoting this episode to the health benefits of eating in. Financial! Nutritional! Familial! Recreational! And so much more-ial. Plus Steven says a swear word. Don’t worry, he’s just quoting one of his new heroes. Happy Cooking! Here are some recipes we talked about on the show: Butter Noodles: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/pasta-aglio-e-olio Chicken Cutlets: https://coleycooks.com/chicken-cutlets/ Zuppa Toscana: https://natashaskitchen.com/zuppa-toscana-recipe-video/ Subscribe to the Bonus Disc, our second podcast, for up to four bonus episodes per month: www.patreon.com/twogomers All things Two Gomers : linktr.ee/twogomers Merch: bit.ly/gomershirts

They say size doesn’t matter, but we think it does, especially when you are looking at accomplishing a goal in your life. For us, the smaller the better when it comes to getting started. Each week we talk about a Baby Step we’ve taken toward health, and this week we devote an entire ep to the concept. And of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way. Still can’t get going? Start smaller.

We took a big swing and asked the Gomernation how the podcast has impacted lives…and you responded! We spend this ep feeling honored, inspired, and (in Anthony’s words) fascinated by how our little show has had a big effect on lives. Here’s to 15 more! Happy Listening, and Happy Running Subscribe to the Bonus Disc, our second podcast, for up to four bonus episodes per month: www.patreon.com/twogomers All things Two Gomers : linktr.ee/twogomers Merch: bit.ly/gomershirts

From khaki shorts to missed births to Code Browns to Star Wars reviews to healthy middle-aging, this is the first part of our 15th Anniversary celebration episodes! We – that means Steven and Anthony, but also you the listener – share favorite moments from the past 15 years. And surprise surprise, there are laughs, tears, epiphanies, and of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way. We were podcasting before it was cool! Here’s proof! Happy Listening.

We released a live-to-tape episode about our Oregon visit on the Patreon, but we wanted to debrief a little on the main feed as well, so here is our episode about how actually hanging out with a friend IRL is good – for your relationship, for your mind and heart, and for your health, especially in your “high-milage years.” Plus beefy-tee chat, taking a beat before you have a hard conversation, and Michael J Fox.

Listen up, this’ll only take a second! Well ok, more like an hour. That’s how long we devote to talking about then importance of learning to listen well on this ep (minus Baby Steps of the Week and What’s Giving Us Life, of course). We get into it – what makes it hard to listen attentively, how much is means to people when you do, and how learning to do it well can improve your health: relationally, developmentally, and professionally. Plus a Zelda update…Link is SO good at listening, isn’t he? Hardly talks at all, that guy.
