FatMan Chronicles

Episode 109 – The Return of Rob Bozovich

Gretchen is traveling to be with her mom, so Pete asked Rob Bozovich to join the show. The guys fill in their own #viewsfromthecouch. Although they talk about reality shows, they are a bit different than Gretchen’s.

The bulk of the episode is about catching up with Rob. What’s he been up to for the last year? How’s he handling quarantine? What adventures does he have planned? All that and more in this packed episode!

Don’t forget to send you suggestions for Pete’s #50at50 project. So far he’s only turned down running nude because no one – NO ONE – needs that!

Episode 108 – Not Badger Trail Races

Pete and Gretchen are outside for this special episode of the FatMan Chronicles. They start out with a lengthy #viewsfromthecouch from Gretchen. But Pete chimes in about a couple of shows. The biggest part is the controversy in the American Ninja Warrior community with the arrest of the sport’s biggest star, Drew Drechsel.

After that bit of ugliness, the couple regales you with stories about their trip to Wisconsin. This was supposed to be the weekend of the Badger Trail Races. They were canceled due to the ongoing pandemic. Yet, Pete and Gretchen made the most of it.

Pete didn’t have a podcast for you this week to check out. He’ll have one next time. Also, he will return to Wisconsin for the Badger Trail Races next year. What distance will he do?

Finally, Pete brings up his 50 at 50 (#50at50) project. What do you think should be on his list? Let him know!

Episode 107 – Patience Will Be Tested

Pete and Gretchen are back from Nebraska and recording from the living room. That means Gretchen is on THE couch.

The couple starts off just talking about life. With the decision for Michaela's school to go 100% remote, will Pete’s patience hold up as a Kindergarten teacher/aide? We all know the answer, but he is going to try anyway.

Then #viewsfromthecouch returns. Gretchen has a lot to say about the 90 Day Fiancé shows and there are many.

Finally, they update us on their health. Lots of veggies after a meat-fest in Nebraska.

Pete suggests taking a listen to Guru: The Dark Side of Enlightenment in his podcast corner. True crime and a fascinating story.

Episode 106 – Live from West Point

Pete and Gretchen traveled to West Point, Nebraska to be with Gretchen’s family after the sudden passing of her aunt and Godmother. They dedicate this show to her.

A quick episode recorded from their hotel room, they catch you up on Gretchen’s lack of #viewsfromthecouch and how Pete’s running is going. They regale you with stories of food (surprise!) and a few other happenings.

Pete offers up Between 2 Pastries in his podcast corner after talking to Annie Weiss in episode 105 of the show. Definitely check it out!

Episode 104 – Peanut Butter & Griping

Gretchen is back, thankfully, but really short on #viewsfromthecouch. Her commitment to her fans is suspect at this point. She better fix it soon!

Pete shares a couple of training stories. He really does have a lot of things that happen while running. It must be him.

Pete then launches into his take on the proper use of a peanut butter jar. He may have shared this before, but he feels compelled to rail on about it again.

Finally, the couple promotes their love of Mr. Bevis dry rubs. An unpaid endorsement, but if they are listening, the ad slot is open! Go get some and let them know what you think. Make sure you tell them you heard about it on the FatMan Chronicles.

Episode 103 – Fasting, Cycling, Running and More with Amy

Gretchen takes the episode off as Pete welcomes listener, fan, and Patron, Amy Powarzynski. But don’t fret, Gretchen and her #viewsfromthecouch will be back next week.

Pete and Amy chat about her background, changes during the pandemic, and her athletic pursuits. Amy also talks about her one meal per day intermittent fasting plan. It’s always great to hear about what way of eating works for someone. A great chat and a big thank you to Amy for coming on and being a Patron!

Also, Amy mentions being coached by John Harris at Endurance for Everyone. Check out his website and podcast.

Episode 102 – Apples and Updates

This episode starts with a strange aside about “vintage” Apple computers from Pete. The Apple chat definitely isn’t Gretchen’s choice and she tries to move him along. Was she successful?

The usual #viewsfromthecouch is next up. Pete wants to know if Linda has committed to a Views from the Couch special episode. She may need more encouragement.

Gretchen’s revelations in episode 101 were touching and lots of you reached out to lend support. She gives an update here. Pete also reveals he is going to interview a registered dietician soon for The No Fear Project and will release it as a crossover episode on FMC.

The couple also discusses their food sensitivity test results. Some surprises overall there.

From there, it is the typical update on Pete’s training and weight loss. Did he make his goal for the bet with Kevin? Did Kevin? And that’s a wrap!

Episode 101 – We Got Some Catchin’ Up To Do

Who do Pete and Gretchen think they are? They hit 100 episodes and then… crickets!

Well, they are back and have some catching up to do. Gretchen starts out the show with a reveal on some reflecting she is doing. It gets deep and emotional. But have no fear, the hilarity ensues from there.

Gretchen claims there is a way to work out in her sleep. She talks #viewsfromthecouch. Pete updates us on his training, including bird attacks, things seen on his run, and a “mean girls” moment.

Pete also reveals some bets he has made with his friend, Kevin, for weight loss. No way he wants to lose to that guy, so you know he is motivated.

The couple also talks about their experience with Mr. Bevis BBQ Rubs. These are fantastic and you should check them out. This is an unpaid endorsement but be sure to tell them you heard about it on the FatMan Chronicles podcast!

Finally, they talk about consistency in recording and releasing podcasts. They are only 101 episodes in, so now is as good a time as any to nail this down.
