At long last, the Gomers end their radio silence and debrief the marathon in this Super-Sized Part I (of, as it turns out, III!) of the TGRAM season finale. Spaghetti dinners! Gomer gift exhanges! Adrenaline rushes! Embarrassingly loud nipple-chafing conversations! Wall hittings! Underwear-filled Port-O-Johns! Triumphant finishes! Exclamation points. It’s all here folks! Quad P in action.

12 hours before the Marathon, the Gomers took some time out to record one more podcast, and here it is. Revel in the pre-race jitters! Marvel at the golf-cart near-death incidents! Recoil from the mile-high farting! And enjoy the final episode they will ever record as non-marathoners. See you on the other side! Happy Running.

It’s the week before the Marathon, and the guys are alternating between feeling nervous and feeling excited – it all depends on the size of the crayons in their dreams. Join them in their final regular episode of the season as they discuss the benefits of trail running, the power of clean kitchens, the ability of young’ns to work with accelerometers, the audacity of television premieres, and the glorious wonders of the moon, presented inexplicably with Wiimote in hand. What? And of course, all y...

Just like every one of the Gomers’ favorite shows, TGRAM is quickly nearing its end. In this super-sized, direct-to-tape penultimate episode before the marathon (yeah, yeah, we got off on the timing a little bit these past couple weeks), the Gomers process their longest run yet, the dreaded 20-miler. Good run/Bad run, anyone? Oh yeah, and there’s some Lost chat. I never had all my questions about Nikki and Paulo answered! 6 years wasted!

It’s the third, and final, Two Gomers Special: Two Gomers Get Ready! The guys are pulling out all the stops to prepare themselves for the (fast) approaching Marathon, including harkening back to the tiny vestiges of running experience both had as young lads. And seriously, we’re talking tiny vestiges here. But it’s enough to guide them through a packed Special that takes them through a journey from Ready, to Set, to GOOOOOOOO(mer). Join them as they talk through the fears, hopes, plans, doubts, ...

It’s a shorter episode this week after the beast that was 30, and in preparation for the third special, but it’s still packed full of goodness – just like a Chicago style pizza. Gomer2 tried Jeff Galloway’s Run-Walk-Run for the first time, while Gomer1 tells his tale of a “dress rehearsal run” gone awry. Oh well, there’s always next time, right? Plus some Double Down Debrief, the value of an X in Scrabble, whether Rudy really won, and pining for re-hydrated future-food. Yum, that looks good, old...

30 Episodes – that’s a milestone for the Gomers, and in this episode, they examine the significance of making it 14 episodes beyond what they’d originally planned. There’s Back to the Future talk, discussion about how short runs are easier than long ones, a Biggest Loser update, bad news about Steven’s DVR, and yes, at long last, Anthony’s True Gomer Confession Song To Run To. Hint. Plus all your favorites – Week in Review, Listener Feedback, Songs to Run To, Running in the Media, Runner’s Corne...

Both Gomers pulled out their LSRs this week (that stands for Long Slow Runs, emphasis on the SLOW), Gomer2 just barely. However, a new tactic has arisen that helped him get through the bonk – and no, it’s not imagining that he’s being chased by giant worms. Run, Kevin Bacon, RUN! Plus: Middle School dance awkwardnesses, birthday re-giftings, coffee jitters, and (Blue) Blu-Ray releases. Huzzah!

Need a week off from running, whether you want it or not? Amidst all the iPad chat, Gomer1 has the tip just for you this week on the podcast! Hint – it has to do with summer footwear. Ok, ok, it’s not that bad, but still… Gomer2 is still on his road to recovery, and he has a big, albeit slow, week to report. Also, an Anti-Gomer update, the In N Out civil war, memories of a substance called Aquaphor, and the band that may have invented reverb. Plus, all the regular stuffs: Week in Review, Gomer’s...

Food is all over this week’s episode, as the Gomers make each other hungry by discussing the fast food they can’t eat, the diets they’re off and on, the sandwiches they can fit in their pockets, the food revolutions they wish they could be a part of, the culinary podcasts they wish they’d thought of, and the food show hosts that are now game show hosts. This is intense! Oh, and bacon. Plus all your favorite sections: Week in Review, Listener Feedback, an Eat and Run/Running in the Media Mashup, ...

Spring isn’t the only thing sprung on this episode of the Two Gomers, especially when a very special guest shows up in the Runner’s Corner. Also, Gomer1 sets a PR in a race while Gomer2 tries to figure out how he feels about that. How sensi! Plus, a new fast food challenge for April, our first near-Code Brown in a while, some good news concerning New Super Mario Wii, and a little expert Peep commentary. Yucky. And all the regular features: Week in Review, Listener Feedback, Runner’s Corner, and ...

This week, join the guys as they do their best to get “there,” whatever “there” means. Gomer1 re-inserts himself back into the training schedule, and Gomer2 heads to warmer climates for some recovery training, which includes catching a glimpse of the weirdest person he’s ever seen while on a run. Also, some classic half-marathon memories, a valiant but unsuccessful attempt by one Gomer to get the other Gomer to confess something, and the final Marriage Ref review ever on the podcast (Lord willin...

Good news: Steven just ran his first mile since the accident. Sure, it’s a baby step, but it’s a BIG baby step. What, you didn’t see that movie? Weird. Also: Thrilling Daylight Savings Time discussions, Wii-related confessions, senior song confusions, and car talk, just like them guys on the NPR! Plus all the regular stuff: Week in Review, Listener Feedback, True Gomer Confessions, Two New Songs to Run To, and a new series in the Runner’s Corner: Top Ten Tips from a Ten-Time Marathoner. Wowzers!...

With Gomer2 still laid up in bed and Gomer1 recovering from the Half Marathon, it’s a slow running week. But you know better than to think they wouldn’t come up with PLENTY to talk about right? It’s what you’d expect: a weird mix of Oscar Chat, food tangents, weight updates, recovery observations, and new Spring TV reviews. For shame. And yes, ok, there’s some running stuff! Week in Review, Listener Feedback, Eat and Run, Running in the Media, two new Songs to Run To, and the final two Rookie Mi...

Who thinks it’s a good idea for Gomer2 to take his meds right before recording, raise your hands. You might want to listen to this episode before you decide. The Gomers are back, baby, and doing their best to bring a little bit of normalcy back to the GomerNation. So expect a lot of the usual – TV Tangents, obscure pop culture references, weird Middle School nostalgia, non-sensical tips, and pipe dreams about who listens to their podcast. See the earbuds? He’s listening! And the regular features...

Gomer2 is still mostly bed-ridden in the aftermath of the big car accident, so the guys thought this would be the perfect time for their third Gomer Rewind. Join the guys as they take a look back at one of their favorite episodes from the first season, the one recorded one day before their first race. Not only are they both in the same room, but it’s in front of a live studio audience! But wait, there’s more! Before the Rewind Steven gives a post-accident update, and the guys discuss what’s to b...

The title explains it all, right? This past week Steven got hit by a car while on a run in the fair city of Denver, and he is able to sit up long enough to record a shorter episode so the Gomernation knows the details. And, more importantly, so they know he’s alright. The good news: he totally won against the Smart Car. The details of the marathon are up in the air again (sound familiar?), but know this: The Gomers are here to stay. There WILL be a marathon. And that marathon WILL be run by Stev...

In a miraculous turn of events, BOTH Gomers had a good week this week, and they can’t wait to talk about it. Join them as they discuss being in control of their runs, who shouldn’t win the Oscar for best picture, eating while traveling, and the effect of weight-loss on cold temperature tolerance. And oh yeah, there is plenty of talk of the many celebrities in the Gomernation, real and fake. Guess which one is a Two Gomers listener? Or not. And make sure you stick around for all the regular featu...

Humble pie, anyone? The Gomers have a big slice they’d be willing to share. The good news is, most of the Gomernation has forgiven the guys for their insensitivity last week, and after an initial apology from their future selves, they’re ready to move on. Both of them ran a staggering 16 miles in a row this week, and they have tales to tell – some good, some not so good. And that makes them first scared, then motivated, and vice versa. And don’t forget all the regular features: Week in Review, E...

It was a lighter week for the Gomers, and they have a lot to say about it – most of it good. With the marathon coming up fast, it’s a nice thing to have a good week once in a while! And since they had a little time to breathe, the guys used the time to actually LEARN a thing or two about running. Wow! Of course, their Gomer’s Tips could never be found in any book. Unless that book is made up entirely of Band-Aid/Nipple tips. Er, nipple HINTS. Yeah, that’s better. Multi-cultural chafing protectio...

“You’re only one run away from a good run.” That’s Gomer1’s theory, and Gomer2 hopes it’s true, because it was brutal for him this week. But it makes for good podcast material, right? Join the guys as they process what it means when one of them has a good week and the other, well, DOESN’T. Of course, it’s not all doom and gloom. When it gets that way, all the guys have to do is argue about whether or not Avatar is actually any good, and everything gets back to normal. “You’d like me better in 3D...

It’s the one-year anniversary of the Gomers’ Half Marathon, and they celebrate by – how else? – running 13 miles without stopping. It was the longest run in a year for both of them, and you’ll have to tune in to hear how it went. SPOILER ALERT: It went surprisingly well. Also, don’t miss the return of Gomers’ Tips of the Week, with cold-weather musings, leftovers advice, and a little celebrity impression that ends up taking on a sick life of its own. She loves it!

It’s a new year, and the Gomers are trying to get back into the swing of things after a long holiday season – with mixed results. Join them as they talk about their annual training run together, getting back on the bandwagon after travel and Christmas, and running in the single digits, through exotic cities, with screaming knee pain, and while wearing parkas. And in non-running-related, is it possible to maintain a healthy marriage while playing New Super Mario Wii? It’s a dealbreaker. This week...

Here’s one more taste of Christmas before you put that tree away – the second Gomer Rewind! This one is holiday-themed, as the Gomers take a look back at their favorite moments from last year’s Christmas episodes. It’s everything you’d expect – bemoaning snow-runs, waxing nostalgic, and trying not to eat like complete idiots. Plus a couple surprises – their most famous fan ever, and the most ridiculous Runner’s Corner ever recorded in the history of man. Oh, and a celebrity guest you will not wa...

Here it is, the final of three in this year’s series of Christmas episodes. It’s sad, but the Gomers press on, packing in every tiny Christmas-related tidbit they can in between updating the Gomernation on how the marathon-training is going. Which is, incidentally, pretty well. Join the Gomers as they relate tales of running both in the snow and 80 degree weather, watching classic Christmas movies, and responding to that many-layered question: “Why are you running a marathon? You must be crazy!”...

The Gomers are really getting into the Christmas spirit now, with more discussions about food, music, and movies both classic (White Christmas) and kind of a stretch (The Godfather). Oh, and they ran last week, too. Kind of. Winter has decended upon gomer2, and gomer1 does his best to keep him motivated, even though all Steven’s doing is sitting around inside while the snow dumps outside, watching The Biggest Loser finale and eating chips. Believe it, fat Danny. They won’t let it get them down, ...

It’s the first of three Christmas Episodes, and the Gomers couldn’t be more excited. But they’ve also got a lot of catching up to do – both ran Turkey Trots over Thanksgiving, and Anthony ran ANOTHER race after that. That’s right, three races total in one week. All in the name of being able to eat whatever the heck they wanted. Add a Double Double to that, and it’s the perfect meal.
