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 to read a book about magic dogs. Oh, and some Head-On-Collision chaaaaat! Don’t forget to tune in next week for a rewind to Season 1 Episode 2!

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 friendship pre-podcast is shorter than our active, podcasting friendship. Cringe at the poor recording quality (and absolutely nothing else). Struggle along with us on our first, cotton-clad jogs. And yes, Steven does call Anthony’s wife “hot.” But apparently she was flattered.

Join us next week as we return to the present! Happy Running!

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 people we used to love who are now cancelled. Plus, we touch on everything from Bob Ross to The Life of Chuck to upcoming Patreon exclusives to pumping iron. We’re back baby!

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, there’s a lot to unpack around his 2024 OneWord, Embrace (and a brief contentious moment between the guys around it, as well). Then he looks forward to what 2025 might hold (or rather, release).

And now we go silent until June! Subscribe to the Bonus Disc, our second podcast, for up to four bonus episodes per month: www.patreon.com/twogomers – now is the perfect time. See you the other side, slick!

We kick off 2025 with our annual tradition: picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year. It’s Anthony’s turn, but first, he wraps up Gomers’ Favorite Things with his favorite sayings from 2024. Then it’s the traditional deep conversation as he looks forward to what is next in 2025, with a ton of fun stuff along the way. Tune in next week for Steven’s word, and Happy New Year!

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 is! Plus, so much fun stuff along the way.

Make sure you listen to our recent release, “A Very Important Gomernouncement” so you can be in the know about what 2025 holds for the podcast. We appreciate you all, Happy New Year!

We wanted to let you know, our loyal listeners, about something important happening in 2025.

Here is a link to Steven’s sermon this past weekend that Anthony referenced. Listen for the inside joke just for Anthony that gets no laughs whatsoever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZCvsVfxUxs
