The Two Gomers Podcast is a long-running podcast chronicling the adventures of two regular guys and their quest to chase - and embrace - healthy aging. Steven and Anthony, friends that have known each other since middle school have been podcasting together for almost 15 years, are facing mid-life with abandon. Each week they talk about a small move (or Baby Step) they've made toward health, press into a bigger issue they are trying to face with grace as they age, and finish by calling out What Gave Them Life that week. And of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way.

The Two Gomers Podcast premiered on Sept 10, 2008 and the show has been going strong for 15 years, 13 very full seasons, a spin-off (Perfect Movie) and the Bonus Disc, their Patreon feed. They have trained for and run 5ks, 10ks, half marathons, full marathons, and triathlons in their endeavor to become healthier and fully embrace life. And one thing has remained the same: you're invited along for the ride.

Can An Old Dog Learn New Tricks?

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 song

Empty Nest

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 lo

Who Am I Pouring In To?

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

Unlocked: Perfect Movie Presidential Debate

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 Gomer

Have a Good Night

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 Disne

Ask Good Questions

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 mo

Get Back on the Horse

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

Don’t Try to Change Everything At Once

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 S

Less Screens, More Paper

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
