The Two Gomers Podcast

The Gomers are feeling the increased training in this, the 13th Episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon, but that won’t stop them from updating you and trying to be upbeat!

Anthony tries nose plugs and a swimming cap, and likes one of them.  Steven gets Jelly Legs after tying his first biking/running brick workout.  Baby wipes are good for more than wiping your baby.  Bikes are special to people, and they talk about them.  Drawing for the free tech-shirts takes place.  We thank a bunch of people for being awesome and generous.  And Steven gets a tattoo.

There it is.

Monday Survey: What’s the one bike tip you’d wish you’d known as a beginner?  Happy Running!

After a short, AMC-like mid-season break, the boys are back to finish their training for their triathlon!

Big news:  Steven bought a bike.  But not before revealing the picture of himself on his Stawpid Hipster Bike to Anthony and the world.  The guys go backwards when they kick.  Anthony has discovered his own swimming guru.  Steven DOESN’T watch House of Cards while on long bike rides, even though he totally could.  Flagstaff is hilly, and it’s undecided whether that’s a good or bad thing.  Many members of the Gomernation are thanked.  And the guys can’t remember the name of the place the Saved By the Bell hangs out.

Monday Survey:  What kind of bike do you ride?  Have a great week, and Happy Running/Biking/Swimming!

In this, the 11th episode, the Gomers finally start feeling like they’re hitting their stride in the pool!

Steven’s building some muscle memory.  Anthony is working on his bilateral breathing.  Nose plugs rule.  Ziplock bags do too.  There was a caste system in the Gomers’ Middle School cafeteria.  Anthony was going to be an Eagle Scout but his troop folded.  The Biggest Losers raced a triathlon.  And money clips are better than thick wallets.

Monday Survey:  What’s your favorite Winter Olympics event?  And watch for our second special of the season, “Two Gomers Get Their Feet Wet,”  next week!  Happy Running!

Episode 10 already?  The Gomers are back with more swimming, biking, and running fun!

Steven wishes he’d gotten the memo about the film crew at his pool.  Anthony gets a compliment from a nice couple.  It’s possible to exercise even when you can’t move.  Sun in your eyes is reason enough to learn to breathe on the opposite side.  Road bikes are more fun than stationary bikes.  Listeners share their “hardest thing they’ve ever done” stories.  And the Gomers might be Daft Punk.

Have a great week, and Happy Running!

After some confusion, the Gomers eventually agree that this is, in fact, Episode 9.

Anthony has a breathing breakthrough.  Steven breaks through a long-standing running goal, celebrates a birthday, and gets an encouraging card.  He also changes a bike tire.  Weird half-marathon injuries.  Snorkel and flipper chat.  Heather Graham was in Twins.  Gibbler was at the half-marathon.  Anthony was in a biking gang.

This week’s Survey (again):  In a couple sentences, what is the hardest thing you’ve ever done?  Have a great week, and Happy Running!

The Gomers continue to embrace the Year of the Triathlon in this, the eighth episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon!

The gym is a lot more crowded in January than in December.  The guys detail their first (and only?) swim together before the triathlon, including biking and running.  Tri shorts leave nothing to the imagination.  It’s possible to listen to music underwater.  Towel service is too expensive.  Steven shares his One Word Resolution.  And the guys still have time to talk some Movies to Bike To.

Monday Survey this week:  In a couple sentences, what’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done?  We want to hear about it and be inspired!  Happy running!

It’s a New Year, and the Gomers are back…and things are starting to get real, fast.

The fear of God was put in Anthony on his very first swim with his coach.  A listener rebukes the guys, and we listen.  Steven is reading a triathlon book and can’t put it down.  Touching the wall and the floor of the pool isn’t going to work anymore.  The guys talk at length about whether or not they are present in this distracted world.  And Anthony reveals his New Years’ One Word Resolution.

Monday Survey – Keep those New Years’ Resolutions coming!  We love em and so does the Nation!  Happy running!

Awww, it’s the last Gomer Christmas Special or 2013! Don’t be sad, it’s a fun one! The guys spend most of their time in the Gomer’s Favorite Things section, and the favorite things end up being eerilly similar. Also, stick around past the close for a special gift – the opportunity to listen to the Gomers sit in front of their computers and register for the race! Plus a classic impression to end our holiday season.

Monday Survey: What’s your New Year’s Resolution? See you the first full week of January! Merry Christmas and Happy Running!

Jingle Gomers, Jingle Gomers, Gomers all the way!  That’s a new Christmas classic and don’t you forget it!

In this, the second Christmas Special of 2013, the guys are full of cheer and wanting to share it with the world.  Anthony discovers something very strange about the bells during cross-country flights.  Steven faces an embarrassing situation in the gym shower, and makes an interesting choice.  Physical therapists can bring epiphanies, and Tony’s does.  There are certain movies one must watch this time of year, whether you’re in your living room or on a stationary bike, and the guys outline them for you, in the usual detail.
