Two Gomers Podcast

On this ep we talk dogs, tricks, and try to answer questions like:

At midlife, do I just know what I know and that’s as far as I go?

Have I hit a max capacity for what I can do and new skills I can learn?

Am I who I am (and do I have the right to use that as an excuse for all my bad behavior), or can I change for the better?

Also, does Steven only like chill songs when he’s running? And is Megalopolis as bad as everyone says? Plus tons of fun stuff along the way! Happy Developing.

Our listeners have been along for the run with us for 16 years, since Steven’s kids were 2 and 4. Now they are out of the house, and it’s another midlife milestone. So let’s talk about it. What are the emotions that come with an empty nest? How is a mom or dad to face these jarring, difficult, exciting changes? How can one move past the clichés and respond in love? Plus: strength training, live comedy, platitudes on our walls, and Arnold shouting at the Predator.

*This episode has been edited to remove several details of Steven’s process that felt too private for the main feed. The unedited version (with an additional 3 minutes) is available behind the paywall on the Patreon now. If you are a subscriber, you can listen there.

We’re focusing on our relational health in this ep, and how we can help another person grow in THEIR health. Whether you call it pouring out, investing in, passing on, leaving a legacy, or giving of yourself for the sake of someone else, we hope this episode encourages you to share the wisdom, experience, skills and time you have with another person. Plus lots of travel chat, Stevie’s Summer Thrifting Report, and what NOT to say to someone if you want to continue to have a healthy relationship with them.

It’s the Fifth Friday of the month, and that means it’s an unlock party! We release an episode from the GomerVault on our Patreon feed, and here on the Main Feed we release a classic Patreon ep from behind the paywall.

Four years ago we were in the throes of a contentious presidential election and we felt like we needed to do something unifying, so we (and our Gomertrons) chose the greatest fictional president from the movies. Contentious presidential election…sound familiar? We thought this was the perfect time to release this to the public, hope you enjoy!

Try to stay awake during this ep, we are talking sleep! It’s the third episode in our Truman Quadrilogy (Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night) and this one’s all about falling asleep, staying asleep, and getting back to sleep if you happen to have your sleep interrupted (by, say, a sock falling off of the light you covered it up with). Plus a Disney World-themed Songs To Run To, a million bees, and a ton of fun stuff along the way.

It’s a sequel to last year’s Listen Closely, and this time the guys talk abut asking. What questions are the kind that not only develop your health – relationally, familially, and professionally – but make the people you are talking with feel honored, encouraged, and loved? Hint: you need to actually care about the other person. But there’s so much more – this ep is packed with tips on how to become a person who people say “Good question!” to. Plus a GomerUpdate from Anthony about his July of getting back on the horse, and what’s bringing us life this week.

Sometimes we’re stubborn as mules, but more often we fall off the horse and need to start again. And when we do, we like to record an episode about it. Anthony’s July has been a big one as he’s made decisions to get healthier, and he’s champing at the bit to talk about the ways his actions have backed up his convictions. Are you feeling like you need to do something to jumpstart your goals toward healthier living? Let this episode inspire you. If nothing else, let it teach you new horse idioms.

Sometimes it feels like a numbers game – there’s a lot we want to change about our lives as we chase health in middle age, but how many things should we be taking on at a the same time? 10? 20? 30? 1000? We seek out what experts are saying and also seek to know ourselves when it comes to our high hopes (and long lists of goals) for healthy change. Plus shirtless Baby Steps and a celebration of the Virtual Race gone by. Take that beer out the fridge and Happy Running!

On the Two Gomers Podcast we talk a lot about how our phones suck up our energy, time, and attention, and how that’s bad for middle age health journey. So why it so hard to just stop looking at it so much? Because nature abhors a vacuum – you have to fill that screen-hole with something else. In this ep we talk about how putting pen to paper can be so much better than putting finger to screen. Plus Songs to Run To and of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way.

We all have full schedules, plenty of commitments, and busy lives. On this episode we’re facing what happens when our schedules are TOO full, we are OVERcommitted, and the pace of our busy lives starts to have negative effects on ourselves and the people we care about. Taking a cue from some of our favorite teachers and writers, we tackle the tyranny of the urgent. How can eradicate unhealthy hurry from our lives, especially as we seek to embrace middle age? Plus power washing, frisbee throwing, flute playing, and hat wetting. It’s all here!
