An Older Gay Guy Show

As we slowly start putting society back together as we all get vaccinated for Covid-19, the Senior Gay Community is something we all need to think about and work at sustaining.  Many older gay men have been isolated during these past 13 months and are now rightfully feeling hesitant about re-joining social situations where crowds might soon be gathering. How will our older LGBTQ brothers and siste...

We all are getting older, and maybe we are becoming our parents in our thoughts and habits. Are we as Gay Seniors just tired of the world of younger people? Are we starting to say the very things our parents would say that we swore we would never become? Are we starting to border on being that grouchy, bitter old man?

Today I am starting a new series that I'm calling Your Personal Trainer .  I often hear from guys that have basic workout and nutrition questions. I know hiring a Personal Trainer can be an expensive proposition, especially with the fees that will probably have to be charged by Trainers to compensate for all the lost work and income due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.  So, with that in mind, I thought r...

My former client Matt Mercurio returns for the conclusion of his 2-Part Series. In this episode we talk a lot about the music of the 1970's-2000's and our love of gay club dancing. Some of the topics we discuss are: K-Tel Compilation Records, Napster, Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Countdown, Vinyl, Cassettes, CD's, MP3s, Taping Songs Off the Radio, Matt's Famous Chart Keeping since 1983, Apple Mus...

This is Part 1 of a fun conversation that I had with Matt Mercurio, an ex-client and best friend of mine from 25 years ago. Matt was one of the first clients that I had when I moved my training business into Boston gay gyms. Matt discusses how we met and what it was like having me as his Personal Trainer. We are completely honest in this episode, and maybe I revealed more than I should have. But,...

This is an episode about Procrastination and Lack of Motivation. Often these things can be directly tied to lack of physical or mental energy to take on the task. How can we stay energetic? Well, Energy Builds Energy.

Sometimes when we get older, especially if we are single and alone, we ruminate on past embarrassing situations or errors that we have made. I wanted to explain my philosophy on how I look at past problems. I talk about how I grew up with a dying mother and how that shaped my life over all these years. I hope this might be some use to you. 

In the conclusion of our 5-Part Series on Sgt. Ron's Gay Military Life Stories, he concludes with some intriguing tales of how far the U.S. Military used to go to 'weed out' any suspected (gasp!) HOMOSEXUALS !  He also tells us stories about Turkish Baths (saunas) and his encounters with other foreign soldiers. If you have not had a chance to hear them, be sure to check-out his 3-Part Gay Prison G...

In Part 4 of our 5-Part Series, Sgt. Ron continues his amazing story-telling and discusses his time in Turkey. This is a funny and fascinating tale, giving us insight into what it was like as a gay man in the Military in the 1980's and 1990's. 

In Part 3 of a 5-Part Series, Sgt. Ron continues to tell us his tales of gay life in the United States Air Force.  In this episode, Sgt. Ron tells us of his life during his assignments in The Netherlands and Turkey.

LGBTQ author Ste7en (yes, the 7 is on purpose) joins me to discuss his brand-new memoir The Last Alias , a book discussing his very successful career as an Anime director, writer and producer. We talk about his cult-hit Ghost Stories and how that influenced his life. The Last Alias also dives into his previous 'straight' life and his discovery of multiple aspects of his personality that allowed St...

This is a somewhat humorous look at the aging process and ways that we can mitigate the craziness that we go through.

 In part 2 of this five-part series, Sgt. Ron tells us about his first experiences in gay life, and the interesting men that he met in his early days as a gay man.

  For today's episode, I have re-edited some recording that I did 4 years ago about how to focus your own search for Happiness. I hope you enjoy it.

One of the dangers of getting old is the possibility of losing friends and family and isolating yourself in desperation to try to avoid pain. This can deprive you of some wonderful years of your life. Others find the endless search for a life partner to be depressing and debilitating. It seems that no matter what you do, you find yourself alone. And being alone for any length of time, no matter wh...

So once you have secured that first date with someone, does it often not go as planned? Did you like the guy but then you didn't receive a call/text for a second date?  Did you do something wrong? This episode talks about 5 important Rules that will help you make sure that he will want that second date with you !

In Part 2 of my 'I See Dead People' series, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about what exactly happens when a body is embalmed.  As we age, we will encounter the need to make arrangements for funerals, as well as visit them as a friend or relative.  Should it fall on you to make the funeral arrangements, do you know what a loved one would really like for their final disposition? If y...

Continuing Sweeps Period, this episode is Part-One of a Five-Part Series from Sgt. Ron, who we previously heard on the popular Gay Prison Guard Series. Here Ron takes us back to his Military experiences and tells tales about his life in a very personal way.  Of course we are intrigued and curious about gay life as an airman, and over the course of this Series, his stories will give the answers.

Sweeps Period 2020 starts off with a humorous and heart-felt conversation with Randy Slovacek about his extensive Broadway and Touring Company performance experience. We last visited with Randy when we discussed his popular LGBTQ Podcast and Blog, both titled The Randy Report . Now Randy tells us in a two-part series about how he got his start in Musical Theater and all about his many big-name mus...
