It the final episode of our Truman Quadrilogy (“Good Morning…and if I don’t see you later: Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night!) and we’re in a midday kind of mood. We examined that little-talked-about (and little-loved) time of the day after lunch and before dinner where are all those weights we carry feel just a little heavier. Power naps! Protein snacks! Meditation! Walks! What helps us pursue health not only in middle age, but in the middle of the day? Splash some water on your face ...

This Season 1 episode first aired in September 2008 as Episode 3 and has a TON of gems: Anthony runs for an hour by accident “Just Do It” is the Gomers Tip for the first time (of many) Steven reveals his height, weight, and that he snores too much It’s only the third episode and the Song To Run To is Switchfoot adjacent for the second time 2008-Steven gets on his soapbox about the show “Heroes” and that gave 2025-Steven embarrassed-for-himself-goosebumps when he listened to it yesterday See you ...

“Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” – Nelson Mandela or St Augustine or Buddha or someone This is a big one folks. Steven’s got a story to tell, and we think it’s going to knock your socks off, especially if you’ve been with us for a while. As he tells it, the guys dig deep into the downsides of unforgiveness and the health benefits of letting things go – to the forgiven person, yes, but even more to the person doing the forgiving. Plus Deloreans, no...

Hop in your Delorean and travel back with us to 2008 for Season 1 Episode 2, where we talk laughing dads, midwestern accents, whether this podcast will just be us whining and complaining, how much Anthony weighs and how tall he is, and shaking off a crappy day at work with the help of Jimmy Eat World.

Anthony and Steven have been going for runs for almost two decades. But running in middle age just hits different. So let’s talk about it: what are the specific challenges of running NOW? And what are the (many) benefits? And are there any benefits that don’t feel as…beneficial anymore? All this plus a Shorts Summer update, Post-Its clarifications, a new Gomerism (from one of the Gomers’ moms) that is bound to become part of the lore of the podcast, and the pleasures of taking a really long time...

In case you missed it, in Season 13 we will alternate between past and present, releasing current episodes, like last week’s, and Season 1 episodes, like this one. Our hope is to take advantage of this amazing gift (our past selves, on tape) to motivate, inspire, and enrich our journey as we tackle the same goal, 17 years later: running a half marathon together, and inviting a nation (you) along for the run. So here we are, our first (and zeroth) episode ever! Marvel at the fact that our friends...

The Gomers are back with the grand reopening of Season 13 after a five-month hiatus! Anthony and Steven reflect on their time away, share life updates, and consider all the lessons learned – including what they Started, Kept Doing, and Stopped. Then is the big preview of the new season and the return of a major challenge: training for the same half marathon they ran 17 years ago. 2025 episodes will alternate between Season 1 eps as we explore growth, setbacks, and second chances, and how many pe...

It’s the final episode before the Gomers’ months-long hiatus, and no stone is left unturned. Who is better, Timothee Chalomet or Bob Dylan? Should one sit or stand while peeing? If the guys were hooked up to lie detectors, what would they say are their favorite songs ever? Will this be the year that Anthony gets glasses/watches The Sound of Music? And how cool were those rugs that Dave Matthews used to stand on during concerts? Oh yeah, and it’s Steven’s turn to share his 2025 OneWord. First, th...

What better time than the close of the year to talk about a mid-life skill that involves getting a broader view on life so you can respond to it better? And by better, we’re talking healthier, more mature, less anxiety- and stress-driven ways. It’s called Getting on the Balcony, and it’s something Steven has been wanting to share with you for a long time. And since the guys are going on a hiatus in the new year (to, among other things, get on the balcony), it felt like now of never. So “now” it ...

On this ep we talk dogs, tricks, and try to answer questions like: At midlife, do I just know what I know and that’s as far as I go? Have I hit a max capacity for what I can do and new skills I can learn? Am I who I am (and do I have the right to use that as an excuse for all my bad behavior), or can I change for the better? Also, does Steven only like chill songs when he’s running? And is Megalopolis as bad as everyone says? Plus tons of fun stuff along the way! Happy Developing. Subscribe to t...

Our listeners have been along for the run with us for 16 years, since Steven’s kids were 2 and 4. Now they are out of the house, and it’s another midlife milestone. So let’s talk about it. What are the emotions that come with an empty nest? How is a mom or dad to face these jarring, difficult, exciting changes? How can one move past the clichés and respond in love?

Try to stay awake during this ep, we are talking sleep! It’s the third episode in our Truman Quadrilogy (Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night) and this one’s all about falling asleep, staying asleep, and getting back to sleep if you happen to have your sleep interrupted (by, say, a sock falling off of the light you covered it up with).

It’s a sequel to last year’s Listen Closely, and this time the guys talk abut asking. What questions are the kind that not only develop your health – relationally, familially, and professionally – but make the people you are talking with feel honored, encouraged, and loved? Hint: you need to actually care about the other person. But there’s so much more – this ep is packed with tips on how to become a person who people say “Good question!” to.

Sometimes it feels like a numbers game – there’s a lot we want to change about our lives as we chase health in middle age, but how many things should we be taking on at a the same time? 10? 20? 30? 1000?

On the Two Gomers Podcast we talk a lot about how our phones suck up our energy, time, and attention, and how that’s bad for middle age health journey. So why it so hard to just stop looking at it so much? Because nature abhors a vacuum – you have to fill that screen-hole with something else. In this ep we talk about how putting pen to paper can be so much better than putting finger to screen. Plus Songs to Run To and of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way.
