The Two Gomers Podcast

Looks like the Gomers just couldn’t bear the thought of recording every other week, so here’s a Minisode to keep you going until Episode 2.  There’s some fun stuff in here, but the main purpose of this little installment is to issue a challenge.  Ready?  Here it is: We challenge you to sign up, TODAY, to walk or run a 5k or 10k this Thanksgiving morning! You don’t have to d...

The Gomers are back for their Third Season, TGRAM: The Sub Five Strive, and they’re trying to get used to the changes.  More training runs, more commitment, more effort, more discomfort – it’s a wonder they have time to record podcasts!  But they do, fair Nation, and it’s all for you. You’ll notice an unusual amount of running talk, but it’s probably just becaus...

Can you feel it?  It’s Season 3, right around the corner.  But the dudes couldn’t help recording a little teaser before the season starts tomorrow…you know, for the fans.  Along with seeing the new logo on your iPod for the first time. Here’s what you can expect from this mini-sode: 1.  The official unveiling of the Season 3 title 2.  A reminder of our goals for the season...

Surprise!  Things with the Gomers have changed already.  Listen to this, the final episode of Season 2.5, for the details of what exactly Season 3: Two Gomers Strike Back (working title) will entail. Atlanta won't know what hit it. Also, plenty of fall TV impressions, folklore remembrances, babysitter pricing discussions, and yes, running talk!  Everything you’ve come to expect in an epi...

In this, the second episode of the Gomers’ second-in-a-half season, things are starting to ramp up.  Both Gomers had a couple great weeks of training and have stories to tell.  Also, they each ran a 10k race – or did they?  You’ll just have to listen to find out. Also, it’s that time of year again, and the guys give their traditional annual Fall TV preview.  Listen rapturou...

With Season 3 in the works and not starting until late October, the Gomers didn’t want to leave the Nation hanging.  So here it is: Season 2.5, Episode A!  And could it be everything you wanted, and more?  You be the judge as the guys debrief last month’s 1st Annual Gomer Group Run, catch you up on what’s been happening in their lives and on their runs since the marathon, and rev...

Just a quick reminder to join us in one week, July 24th, for our 1st Annual “How’s It Goin'” Gomer 5k Group Run!  If you can make it, please head over to our Facebook event RIGHT NOW and let us know! All the details are there, so click here ASAP so we know how many to expect! Mr.s and Mrs.s Gomers will all be in attendance! We’d love to hear if you are running “virtua...

Season 2 of the Two Gomers is in the books, and everything feels kind of back-to-the-basics.  Join Steven and Anthony one last time as they review their weeks, offer up some running tips, discuss songs they like to run to, and read questions from fans.  Oh, and they also go off on, like, a hundred different tangents. Jeez, that’s some serious cleavage. Make sure you stick around till the end...

Well, it was supposed to be the final episode, but in true Gomer form, things didn’t go as planned.  The guys needed to add ONE MORE episode, coming on Thursday, since they spend more time than they thought they would on what the journey to the marathon has meant to them, how it’s changed them, and what’s next.  Everest, anyone? Is that…the GOMERS? No. No it’s not. We...

At long last, the Gomers end their radio silence and debrief the marathon in this Super-Sized Part I (of, as it turns out, III!) of the TGRAM season finale.  Spaghetti dinners!  Gomer gift exhanges!  Adrenaline rushes!  Embarrassingly loud nipple-chafing conversations!  Wall hittings!  Underwear-filled Port-O-Johns!  Triumphant finishes!  Exclamation points.  It’s all here folks! Quad P in a...

12 hours before the Marathon, the Gomers took some time out to record one more podcast, and here it is.  Revel in the pre-race jitters!  Marvel at the golf-cart near-death incidents!  Recoil from the mile-high farting!  And enjoy the final episode they will ever record as non-marathoners. See you on the other side!  Happy Running.

Surprise!  An unnanounced, full-length bonus episode just for you from the Two Gomers: Gomerthon 2010! There’s plenty of fun stuff in this special episode, including thoughts on how the Gomers are feeling 4 days before the race, top five marathon nutrition mistakes, “Peeps are Yucky” and “That Hurts More” memories, two more Songs to Run to, and tons of Full House chat...

It’s the week before the Marathon, and the guys are alternating between feeling nervous and feeling excited – it all depends on the size of the crayons in their dreams.  Join them in their final regular episode of the season as they discuss the benefits of trail running, the power of clean kitchens, the ability of young’ns to work with accelerometers, the audacity of television p...

Just like every one of the Gomers’ favorite shows, TGRAM is quickly nearing its end.  In this super-sized, direct-to-tape penultimate episode before the marathon (yeah, yeah, we got off on the timing a little bit these past couple weeks), the Gomers process their longest run yet, the dreaded 20-miler.  Good run/Bad run, anyone?  Oh yeah, and there’s some Lost chat. I never had all my q...

It’s the third, and final, Two Gomers Special: Two Gomers Get Ready! The guys are pulling out all the stops to prepare themselves for the (fast) approaching Marathon, including harkening back to the tiny vestiges of running experience both had as young lads.  And seriously, we’re talking tiny vestiges here. But it’s enough to guide them through a packed Special that takes them th...

It’s a shorter episode this week after the beast that was 30, and in preparation for the third special, but it’s still packed full of goodness – just like a Chicago style pizza.  Gomer2 tried Jeff Galloway’s Run-Walk-Run for the first time, while Gomer1 tells his tale of a “dress rehearsal run” gone awry.  Oh well, there’s always next time, right?  Plus so...

30 Episodes – that’s a milestone for the Gomers, and in this episode, they examine the significance of making it 14 episodes beyond what they’d originally planned.  There’s Back to the Future talk, discussion about how short runs are easier than long ones, a Biggest Loser update, bad news about Steven’s DVR, and yes, at long last, Anthony’s True Gomer Confession...

Both Gomers pulled out their LSRs this week (that stands for Long Slow Runs, emphasis on the SLOW), Gomer2 just barely.  However, a new tactic has arisen that helped him get through the bonk – and no, it’s not imagining that he’s being chased by giant worms. Run, Kevin Bacon, RUN! Plus: Middle School dance awkwardnesses, birthday re-giftings, coffee jitters, and (Blue) Blu-Ray re...

Need a week off from running, whether you want it or not?  Amidst all the iPad chat, Gomer1 has the tip just for you this week on the podcast!  Hint – it has to do with summer footwear. Ok, ok, it’s not that bad, but still… Gomer2 is still on his road to recovery, and he has a big, albeit slow, week to report.  Also, an Anti-Gomer update, the In N Out civil war, memories of a sub...

Food is all over this week’s episode, as the Gomers make each other hungry by discussing the fast food they can’t eat, the diets they’re off and on, the sandwiches they can fit in their pockets, the food revolutions they wish they could be a part of, the culinary podcasts they wish they’d thought of, and the food show hosts that are now game show hosts. This is intense! Oh,...

Spring isn’t the only thing sprung on this episode of the Two Gomers, especially when a very special guest shows up in the Runner’s Corner.  Also, Gomer1 sets a PR in a race while Gomer2 tries to figure out how he feels about that.  How sensi!  Plus, a new fast food challenge for April, our first near-Code Brown in a while, some good news concerning New Super Mario Wii, and a little ex...

This week, join the guys as they do their best to get “there,” whatever “there” means.  Gomer1 re-inserts himself back into the training schedule, and Gomer2 heads to warmer climates for some recovery training, which includes catching a glimpse of the weirdest person he’s ever seen while on a run.  Also, some classic half-marathon memories, a valiant but unsuccessful...

Good news:  Steven just ran his first mile since the accident.  Sure, it’s a baby step, but it’s a BIG baby step. What, you didn’t see that movie?  Weird. Also:  Thrilling Daylight Savings Time discussions, Wii-related confessions, senior song confusions, and car talk, just like them guys on the NPR!  Plus all the regular stuff:  Week in Review, Listener Feedback, True Gomer Conf...

With Gomer2 still laid up in bed and Gomer1 recovering from the Half Marathon, it’s a slow running week.  But you know better than to think they wouldn’t come up with PLENTY to talk about right?  It’s what you’d expect:  a weird mix of Oscar Chat, food tangents, weight updates, recovery observations, and new Spring TV reviews. For shame. And yes, ok, there’s some runn...

Who thinks it’s a good idea for Gomer2 to take his meds right before recording, raise your hands.  You might want to listen to this episode before you decide.  The Gomers are back, baby, and doing their best to bring a little bit of normalcy back to the GomerNation.  So expect a lot of the usual – TV Tangents, obscure pop culture references, weird Middle School nostalgia, non-sensical...
