Two Gomers Podcast

Enter your finishing time here (column G) or take a look at the results! What was meant to be a 5-minute announcement for the  First Annual Two Gomers Labor Day Virtual 5k/10k turned out to be a 20-minute podcast.  Shocking, huh?  Listen as the guys catch up, preview next week’s Looking Ahead episode, and close up the summer in movies. It’s official – it’s the movie of the...

Yes, there’s a Gomer Group Run update. And a summer running update, too.  But mostly this episode consists of the two guys catching up, as they’ve  been state-hopping for the past two months.  So get ready for conversation on topics ranging from Harry Potter to how Tony’s baby’s doing, from Bon Iver to which Star Trek captain is best, and from Abraham Lincoln to the star-st...

The guys try their hardest to make this a simple reminder about the Gomer Group Run coming up on July 16th… …but it’s been so long since they recorded that they end up talking about McDonald’s Sweet Chili Sauce, Steven’s high school french class, and an alternate universe Marty McFly.  Of course. Enjoy, and please responde si vous plait on the Event Page ASAP!  Merci!...

Stop!  If you haven’t listened to the latest Special, Two Gomers’ Life Lessons, do it before listening to this episode!   Download here ! It’s the Season 3 finale, and it’s a doozy.  While there are plenty of chances to tangentize (which they do, and we learn the true definition of “amateur” because of it), the guys focus their attention on one topic: What to do...

Download the latest special here! The guys are here with a little announcement:  one month from now is the Second Annual Gomer Group Run!  Join us on July 16, 2011 for a time of fun, food, fellowship, and of course, running! Last year’s Gomer Run was a blast! Just wanted to give you a heads up so you can put it on your calendar!  See you Tuesday with the Season 3 Finale! Happy Running!

Download the Special here! The Gomers’ Sub-Five Strive at the Minneapolis Marathon has come and gone, and well…they strived!  Join the guys as they begin to process the day of the race, what happened when, why and with whom.  It was a roller coaster of a day, and the Gomers attempt to recreate it in a way that’s honest yet hopeful – a week out, that almost seems possible!  ...

Get the Special, EP, or Shirts by clicking here! The Gomers are in a rare position:  Both in the same room at the same time.  That’s because in less than a day the season culminates in the Sub-Five, 26.2 effort – and the guys have a lot to say about it.  Thankfully they have the Gomernation’s feedback and thoughts to keep this, their final episode before the race, semi-organized....

There’s two weeks until the marathon, and the Gomers are preparing – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Join them as they discuss the impending sub-5 goal, and their “dress rehearsals”: The 20 miler. The good news: they went surprisingly well. The bad news: Well, let’s just say it has the potential to be pretty bad indeed. And, for the last time this season, some...

The guys are recovering from their 18 milers (just in time to run their 20 milers next week) by recording a Listener-centric Minisode.  Hear as they discuss bagels and nipple guards, running sockless, trusting your training, hot Borgs, and their next fundraising goal:  $2.4 million. It’s within our grasp… Hope you enjoy, and Happy Running!

For the first time ever, the Gomers are recording an episode MINUTES after running their LSRs – the dreaded 18 miler, to be exact.  Great idea, huh?  The Gomers thought so, you’ll have to judge the results for yourself.  Just a heads up – there’s bonking and second (and third) winds all over the course of this one episode, one Gomer ends up on the floor in pain for a while,...

Claim a Gomernumber Updated:  Click here to see the GomerRegistry, and which numbers are still available! It’s the first Special of Season 3: Two Gomers’ Rules of Thumb! The guys are reaching back into the archives and thinking through their top ten Gomers’ Tips from the past three years.  Then, after much pontification, introspection, and (of course) rabbit trail-chasing, they r...

With a new miniGomer (or Fun-Sized Gomer) on the way, the dudes conduct their very first interview in this, the 10th Minisode of the Sub-Five Strive.  Angie from the Marathon Training Academy Podcast joins Steven and Anthony (and Erin!) to talk all things pregnant and running –  late night cravings, morning sickness, proper pacing, and sympathy weight-gain. Maybe its TWIIIIIIIINS! Don’...

Now that you know Anthony’s big news, Part II of Episode 10 brings you some big news from Steven – it has to do with something he doesn’t wear that most people do.  Ok, it’s not as big as Part I, but he gave it a shot. The only undergarment Kramer will endorse. Part 2 is all about True or Faux, two (or five) new Easter-themed Songs to Run To, and the Week in Preview, with s...

It’s Anthony’s 32nd birthday, but that’s not the Big News.  Steven has been breaking his training run speed goals left and right, but that’s not the Big News either.  And this episode got so long we had to split it into two Big Parts.  But no, THAT’S not even the Big News.  You’ll just have to wait through the (actually, pretty enlightening) Weeks in Review to h...

The Gomernation is talking, and the Gomers are listening – and discussing.  Join them as they confer about the Nation’s thoughts on podcasts and audiobooks, running in a straight line or in a circle, forward-thinking or being in the now, and dogs.  And even though no one in the nation mentioned Top Chef, it sure seems to come up a lot. I think we’re all in agreement that your Pad...

Spring has sprung, and change is in the air – including an unusual amount of semi-educated running talk from the unlikeliest of semi-experts:  the Gomers.  What’s happened exactly is unclear, but listen as they blame everything from their gadgets to their training program to actual miles put in – whatever it is, it’s kind of weird.  But not as weird as Alan Silvestri’...

The Listener Feedback has POURED in these past couple weeks, and the Gomers are lovin it.  Join them as they discuss running, with a tangent here and there:  sports bras and running skirts, bamboo socks and sticks covered with lube, Eagle Scout near-misses and zombie-killing dogs. Man’s best zombie-killing friend. Our excuse is that since this is a Listerner-Feedback-centric show, it’s...

The Gomers’ training is really kicking into high gear, and they are here to talk about the ups and downs (pun intended) of speedwork:  How hard do I swing my arms?  Did that lady just see me dry-heave?  Am I allowed to faint?  And, most importantly, is this treadmill possessed? Plus the guys debut a new weekly section that’s very forward thinking. Great Scott! Another excuse to geek ou...

The Minisodes here in the second half of Season Three have a new focus:  The Gomernation!  Monday Survey Results and Listener Feedback are the name of the game, and the Gomers have a new way of discussing the Nation’s thoughts and questions:  Feedback of the Week. Each Minisode they’ll choose an email, Facebook post, and twogomers.com comment that stood out to them and discuss.  This w...

It’s been a long cold February, but the Gomers are back to warm things up!  Join the guys as they think back on their hiatuses (hiati?), the disciplines they’ve developed and risks they’ve taken.  And did someone order some Gomer Tangents?  Try iPad 2 chat, Oscar thoughts, Spring TV talk, and quite possibly the most timely Listener Feedback celebrity impression ever. Duh, I was W...

This is as close as the Gomers get to disobeying their wives – a quick Minisode updating the Nation on their new Marathon training schedule even though they’re supposed to be observing radio silence.  Oh well, while they’re at it, why not a little Oscar chat?  Oh hold on, what did they think of the Superbowl (ads)?  And does Conan’s sister really look all that much like Con...

It’s the midpoint of the Gomers’ 3rd season, and they have a big midpointy announcement to make about the upcoming Marathon.  But before that, they take a look at their more…ahem… critical reviews, and decide together how to react and, ultimately, respond to them.  Not to worry, though, it’s not all serious work – the guys are more than willing to go off on a ta...

It’s Gomer2’s turn to report on his race, and he’s a little confused about how he feels about this, his third Half Marathon and PR.  Hear as Gomer1 grills him for the details – the ups, downs, and in-betweens.  Did he meet his goal?  Is he feeling good?  Did any mantras work?  Was there enough toilet paper?  Never fear, Nation, all your questions will be answered! The best...

Long time, no hear!  In Part 2 of Episode 5, Anthony regales us with tales of the Disney World Half Marathon – from starting fireworks to motivational army men to run-ins with running celebrities, this race had it all.  And oh yeah, a pretty sweet PR to start the New Year right. This week’s Monday Survey:  What is your favorite race distance?  The Gomers shared theirs, let’s hear...

The New Year is still on the minds of the Gomers, and they spend a significant portion of the first part of Episode 5 discussing it.  Including these questions: Should resolutions be vague or specific?  Should you set the bar unreachably high, or comfortably low?  And what is the name of that one lady who keeps saying inspiring things in Grumpy Old Men? Yeah, that’s her back there! This firs...
