Two Gomers Run For Their Lives

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Something new on the podcast: Fifth Fridays! When a month has five Fridays, 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. And is there a more classic…

There was too much gold in them there hills to put this episode anywhere but the main feed. The Gomernation thoughtfully, deeply, and often humorously shared with us advice, counsel and encouragement they would give to themselves in their 20s, and it’s all so good. Enjoy this Listener Feedback-centric episode,…

Steven’s beard is going grey. That happens when you hit middle age. So why is it so hard? And what, if anything, should he do about it? The guys talk a lot about self-image in this one…including the differences between men and women, and wild vs. distinguished. Plus, Songs To…

We step into the Delorean and try not to unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe while giving our younger selves a little but of advice. No sports betting here, we promise! Just heartfelt, gentle words of encouragement toward health that we hope…

For those of us in midlife, we know: our bodies ain’t what they used to be. So why are so many of us so resistant to learning more? Why, when we are hurt or suffering, do we ignore it rather than get help or advice? Is ignorance really bliss? Join…

No, this ep isn’t about whether our body-image is healthy enough to run around naked on the field during a football game. We are talking about consistency streaks – like when you run for a week in a row, or eat a healthy meal every day for a month, or…

Having trouble settling down before bed? That could be bad for your health. And your sleep. And your morning. And your day. Repeat ad infinitum. The guys talk about what it takes to separate from the business of the day and get ready for night in this, the second ep…

We mark our 400th episode by asking our first Core Question. It’s about where we seek validation, why we seek approval, and how doing so in unhealthy ways can be an unwelcome giant in our lives. And it is such a beefy topic (with so much amazing input from the…

We continue our annual tradition of picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year, and it’s Steven’s turn. But first, a fun way he has been keeping track of when he’s read what books this year, and reading recommendations while he’s at it. Then he reviews last…
