August was kinda rough – but there’s always another episode, always another chance to start over, and always another way to move forward! And the guys are doing just that. September has been a great month as they begin to look toward the end of the year, and the close of their Lose 20 Challenge. Plus, they gush over tiny endorphins and take on a listener’s challenge to not to talk about unhealthy food at all for the entire ep. Don’t forget you can support the Gomers and get a TON of free content...
