Anthony has some news in this, the third episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon. It wouldn’t be a season of the Gomers without one of them “having some news,” would it? Also: Steven runs to work. It’s snowing in Arizona, but not in Florida…but it is cooler there. There is a sneakier way to shower. The women’s locker room is just as gross as the men’s. Brick workouts do not involve bricks. It’s possible to not eat turkey for Thanksgiving. And the Gomers got a cool present from a listener. Thanks ...

It’s Steven’s turn to brave the gym and the pool, in this, the second episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon! Here’s what you’ll hear in Episode 2: There are easy ways to tell the Gomers apart. Steven has a thing against gyms and needs to get over himself. Anthony has done more multi-event training. The guys don’t know how to breathe, or when. Are women’s locker rooms as open as men’s? 25 yards is nothing like 25 feet. What the heck is a brick workout? Blockbuster Video smells like Subway, and S...

The wait is over – the Two Gomers are back for Season 6 – Two Gomers Race a Triathlon!

Anthony gives the details on his very first swim at the gym. It is hard to be naked. Luggage is a good way to carry around your swim trunks. Swim trunks may not be the best thing to wear while training for a triathlon. It is hard to breathe. Goggles rule, but Gomers are...

Join the Gomers as they talk through Steven’s Half-Marathon last month, depressing voicemails, not-so-bad injuries, concerned parents, and Star Trek VHS tapes. Both the guys used to own this.

Nice guess, Steven. And don’t forget Strawberryfest, coming next week! Meet and g...

This is a fun one – join the fellas as they talk about the ups and downs of going veg for 5 days a week in May, and everything they’ve gained (and lost) from the experience so far. But that, of course, is not all – they also talk best running months ever, fast food and old girlfriends, reading while walking, and changing in the middle school locker room.

They talk impromptu races, bassoon solos, new popes, Survivor meltdowns, Biggest Loser meltdowns, Peeps being yucky, running ruts, Magic Erasers, and April resolutions, and teeth-staining beverages. You know, the regular. Guess whether this was purchased within the inside of the grocery store, or around the outside. It’s hard!...

The race is over and done, and the guys are on hand to do a full race in review and close up shop on the “Back to the Basics” Season 5. Join them as they talk overhydration, deep conversations, hitting (or not hitting) the wall, misjudged start times, Parenthood (and 30 Rock and The Office), meeting new members of the Gomernation, hilariously tall half marathon walking teens, juicing, Animal Style fries, and being relieved, for once, that someone ELSE had the biggest Gomer moment of the race. ‘ ...

It’s THE WEEK BEFORE THE RACE, and the Gomers are excited and nervous and expectant and freaking out and all the feelings you’re supposed to be feeling before a big race. Some things that are helping them: A detailed race in preview, words of encouragement from the GomerNation, memories of races gone by…and oh yeah, juicing. No, not that kind.

It’s what wouldn’t fit in the final Christmas Special, and that might be a good thing…as this review of The Hobbit is bursting with spoilers. Just like that think on the Goblin King’s neck would burst if you poked it too hard with a stick. At least this image isn’t in 48 fps. Enjoy the little episode, let us know what you thought of the movie, we want to hear your take! Happy Running!

In this, the third and final Christmas Special of 2012, the guys try to cram everything in – so much that they had to split the episode and move their Hobbit review to a separate episode. They start with some sobering words and thoughts about last week’s tragedy, then move to Week In Review, Gomer’s Favorite Things, and Listener Feedback. And yes, it’s PACKED with holiday goodness…and JEANS! Jeans! Oh and Steven’s impressions are BACK. Plus, make sure you listen all the way to the end for a Chri...

In our continuing quest to record an episode under an hour – we fail again. Oh, but this one is PACKED. Back to the Future plot holes. Stretching (or not stretching) tips. Reverse glottal fries.
