Two GOmers Run For Their Lives

At long last, the Gomers are back with the episode we’ve been working so hard to deliver – the Race in Review!  Don’t want to give too much away, but there’s a LOT to talk about…so much that we’ve split the episode in two.  This one, Episode 20, covers all things leading up to the [...]

Oh jeez.  This is is – the final regular episode before the big race! The guys spend the bulk of this episode talking through the race beat by beat so they can make sure they are ready – and when they have a question, they try to answer it.  It’s therapeutic for them, and entertaining [...]

Anthony gets more than his feet wet in this, the Gomers’ 18th episode!

And you’ll also get a little bonus in this episode – out [...]

Three weeks to the race, and the Gomers are just the right mix of excited and terrified.  And they’ve got a lot to say about it, which made it necessary to split the Episode into two parts!  This is Part 2. Steven is in the midst of a “long prep,” including waking up at 5 [...]

We’re in the month of the Triathlon, and the Gomers are getting nervous/excited/nervous! Steven starts a fight at the gym.  Anthony falls down on his bike.  Weight, surprisingly, is not really being lost.  Hotel pools mean something different when you’re training for a triathlon.  EXTREMELY basic lessons are new to the Gomers.  And tons of [...]

This one’s a doozy, as Steven regales us with the tale of his first ocean swim(s)!  Here’s what to expect: 1.  The ocean is cold. 2.  The ocean is salty. 3.  This ocean is big. And that’s just the icing on the cake!  Hope you enjoy the episode, and Happy Swimming!

In a flashback/time-warp episode, the guys talk about Anthony’s first ride on his new bike.  It’s eye-opening and exciting and we can’t wait for you to hear it and give us feedback. That’s all you need to know!  Enjoy the show, and Happy Biking!

The Gomers are feeling the increased training in this, the 13th Episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon, but that won’t stop them from updating you and trying to be upbeat! Anthony tries nose plugs and a swimming cap, and likes one of them.  Steven gets Jelly Legs after tying his first biking/running brick workout. [...]

After a short, AMC-like mid-season break, the boys are back to finish their training for their triathlon! Big news:  Steven bought a bike.  But not before revealing the picture of himself on his Stawpid Hipster Bike to Anthony and the world.  The guys go backwards when they kick.  Anthony has discovered his own swimming guru. [...]

In our efforts to raise the money needed to fund the podcast and get us to the triathlon, we are offering our second special of the year, “Two Gomers Get Their Feet Wet,” as pay-optional.  Head to our store and [...]

In this, the 11th episode, the Gomers finally start feeling like they’re hitting their stride in the pool! Steven’s building some muscle memory.  Anthony is working on his bilateral breathing.  Nose plugs rule.  Ziplock bags do too.  There was a caste system in the Gomers’ Middle School cafeteria.  Anthony was going to be an Eagle [...]

Episode 10 already?  The Gomers are back with more swimming, biking, and running fun! Steven wishes he’d gotten the memo about the film crew at his pool.  Anthony gets a compliment from a nice couple.  It’s possible to exercise even when you can’t move.  Sun in your eyes is reason enough to learn to breathe [...]

After some confusion, the Gomers eventually agree that this is, in fact, Episode 9. Anthony has a breathing breakthrough.  Steven breaks through a long-standing running goal, celebrates a birthday, and gets an encouraging card.  He also changes a bike tire.  Weird half-marathon injuries.  Snorkel and flipper chat.  Heather Graham was in Twins.  Gibbler was at [...]

The Gomers continue to embrace the Year of the Triathlon in this, the eighth episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon! The gym is a lot more crowded in January than in December.  The guys detail their first (and only?) swim together before the triathlon, including biking and running.  Tri shorts leave nothing to the [...]

It’s a New Year, and the Gomers are back…and things are starting to get real, fast. The fear of God was put in Anthony on his very first swim with his coach.  A listener rebukes the guys, and we listen.  Steven is reading a triathlon book and can’t put it down.  Touching the wall and the [...]

Awww, it’s the last Gomer Christmas Special or 2013! Don’t be sad, it’s a fun one! The guys spend most of their time in the Gomer’s Favorite Things section, and the favorite things end up being eerilly similar. Also, stick around past the close for a special gift – the opportunity to listen to the [...]

Jingle Gomers, Jingle Gomers, Gomers all the way!  That’s a new Christmas classic and don’t you forget it! In this, the second Christmas Special of 2013, the guys are full of cheer and wanting to share it with the world.  Anthony discovers something very strange about the bells during cross-country flights.  Steven faces an embarrassing [...]

It’s that special time of year – when you get to stuff your ears with Gomer cheer!  The first 2013 Christmas episode is here! Steven does his first brick workout and his butt hurts.  Anthony shares some reflections of his past life as he remembers his Grandma.  We bet you ten bucks you can guess [...]

Anthony has some news in this, the third episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon.  It wouldn’t be a season of the Gomers without one of them “having some news,” would it?  Also: Steven runs to work.  It’s snowing in Arizona, but not in Florida…but it is cooler there.  There is a sneakier way to [...]

It’s Steven’s turn to brave the gym and the pool, in this, the second episode of Two Gomers Race a Triathlon!  Here’s what you’ll hear in Episode 2: There are easy ways to tell the Gomers apart.  Steven has a thing against gyms and needs to get over himself.  Anthony has done more multi-event training. [...]

This is a fun one – join the fellas as they talk about the ups and downs of going veg for 5 days a week in May, and everything they’ve gained (and lost) from the experience so far.  But that, of course, is not all – they also talk best running months ever, fast food [...]

The race is over and done, and the guys are on hand to do a full race in review and close up shop on the “Back to the Basics” Season 5.  Join them as they talk overhydration, deep conversations, hitting (or not hitting) the wall, misjudged start times, Parenthood (and 30 Rock and The Office), [...]

It’s what wouldn’t fit in the final Christmas Special, and that might be a good thing…as this review of The Hobbit is bursting with spoilers.  Just like that think on the Goblin King’s neck would burst if you poked it too hard with a stick. Enjoy the little episode, let us know what you thought [...]

In this, the third and final Christmas Special of 2012, the guys try to cram everything in – so much that they had to split the episode and move their Hobbit review to a separate episode.   They start with some sobering words and thoughts about last week’s tragedy, then move to Week In Review, [...]

It’s the Gomers’ second Christmas special of 2012, and they are in a festive mood…well, unless they’re talking about rough weeks and rough runs and totally wanting to quit and stuff.  Otherwise, join them as they talk happily about Holiday Wish Lists, band-geek near-death experiences, Christmas movie plotholes, lights on their knuckles, cheese-drenched al dente [...]

The Gomers’ favorite time of year is upon us, and so they present to you, Nation, the first of three Christmas specials.  Listen in as they talk Turkey Trots, Holiday Movies, Long Runs, Christmas Traditions, Barrette Clips, and Disneyland Little People Singing Jingle Bells. This week’s Monday Survey:  What’s on your running Christmas Wish List? [...]

After a week of sickness and travel, the Gomers are back at it again just in time for Thanksgiving.  Join them as they talk Songs To Run To, Turkey Trots, secret vacations, roadside terror, predicting elections, new Wii systems, and this one thing that happens to Steven when it’s cold that he’s wondering whether it [...]

In an episode that gets both serious and silly, the Gomers discuss all things pressing that are, by now (several days after recording!), completely out of date.  Join them as they talk about their weeks in review, but also the cancelation of the NYC marathon, the upcoming (er, just-completed) election, and, more importantly, the pros [...]

It’s a shorter episode this week, but it’s still crammed with Gomer goodness.  Listen in as the guys discuss how to deal with bad runs, how much Halloween scares them, and what to lube when.  Also, they are out of love with the iPad mini.  And there’s this really interesting bit where some absolutely HUGE [...]

In our continuing quest to record an episode under an hour – we fail again.  Oh, but this one is PACKED.  Back to the Future plot holes.  Stretching (or not stretching) tips.  Reverse glottal fries.  Training schedules.  Hipster quandaries. Dressing room misshaps.  And the best thing of all:  A good week of running!  Huzzah!  Oh, [...]

It’s a lot of orchestra chat to start this episode out, but the guys do their best to bring it back to running…most of the time.  Listen in as the guys talk increasing running distance, forgetting to stretch, and of course – balancing running and real life.  Also Goonies, robots, New Jersey, and iPhones 5s. [...]

The boys are getting back in the groove of things – that includes on the road, on the podcast, and on the dance floor.  But is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?  Yes.  Yes there is. Join the Gomers as they spend time talking about their last week in running, [...]

Season 5 is upon us, and things may seem familiar.  The guys are training for the same half-marathon from Season 1, they are listening to the same music to get pumped up, they have some of the same hopes and fears from four years ago…and yeah, they still love talking running, TV, movies, tech, and [...]

How Gomerish is it that the finale of a season is mostly about Movies and TV?  Answer: very Gomerish.  Join the guys as they burn off some podcast material here at the end of the summer and talk all things Batman, Olympics, and quinoa pronunciation, in that order. The Gomers are taking a break till [...]

The original plan was for the guys to wrap up things this episode, but they got talking so much about whether becoming vegans would affect their running, they had to ONCE AGAIN push the Summer TV and Movie Chat and Olympics Chat to another episode! That’s cool, enjoy this episode as the guys talk food, [...]

The Gomers are back after their small hiatus, since there’s a race to review, a return to the road to dissect, and the Olympics to start (but not finish) to analyze.  Join the guys as they talk about their month in review, what makes a hometown a hometown, Abraham Lincoln’s big year, The Brad’s new [...]

The 3rd Annual Gomer Group Run was a big success, and the guys break it down in this latest episode in their off-season.  New friends, old friends, the kids’s run, and the negative impacts of a bike on Anthony’s body – it’s all here! Also, the Gomers hash out what they are feeling about the [...]

(or: Gomer 1 had no idea who the Hulk was)   It’s a good one, folks:  Injuries! Cooking Shows!  Daytime Anchor feuds!  First Father’s Days!  Somewhat spoiler-free blockbuster reviews!  Final Gomer Run Preparations!  And the Gomer Movie Ratings System explained.  That should last you for another long run, huh? Hope you like it!  Oh, and [...]

What, two episodes in two weeks?  That’s what happens when the guys haven’t recorded for a while – they have a hard time stopping!  In this episode, they bring back a couple long-dormant segments:  Songs to Run to and Eat and Run.  They also make an interesting discovery while digging deep into some Listener Feedback, [...]

Well, it’s been a while, huh?  The Gomers are back with the first half of their two-episode May and June update.  Join them as they talk injuries, year-goals, Disney World walking troubles, life-changes, bad reviews, and 80s Movie Twitter Feeds.  And oh yeah, Steven’s bumbling encounter with THE Ryan Hall a couple weeks ago. Also, [...]

Uh oh. Looks like the Gomers have done it again.  While not a surprise, the guys are disappointed to have to announce that the Red White and Boom! Half Marathon is not going to work for them this year.  Wanna know why, get some details, and hear what is most likely a little more processing [...]

It’s here – Season 5 of Two Gomers Run For Their Lives!  Get ready for some good old fashioned Gomer introductions, Gomer Seasons in Review, Gomer reflections and predictions, and of course, Gomer Tangents.  It wouldn’t be a season opener (or a Gomer episode, for that matter) without them, right? It’s gonna be a great [...]

OK, so Anthony’s 4-word review of the BOB stroller turned into a not-so-mini 36 minute Minisode.  Sue us!  We figured no one would complain…so enjoy this tangent-filled, gear-specific, up-to-the-minute episode on your weekend run.  Happy Running!

The Gomers are back for their March Off-Season episode, and they have a lot of catching up to do.  Join them to hear how their months of running have gone, whether or not their yearly mottos are sticking, how Anthony’s holding up as a new Dad, how Steven’s holding up in 2 feet of snow, [...]

As promised, the Gomers’ monthly off-season update podcast is here!  And for the first time, the guys are recording in the same room – and that room is in one of the Gomers’ actual homes.  Flagstaff is the place, Steven’s home turf, though only a month before they were together in Tampa.  The guys relate [...]

It’s snowing in Flagstaff and sunny in Florida, but the Gomers are having no problem connecting on their one true passion – Christmas – in this, their second Holiday episode of 2011.  Join them as the talk cold-weather running, soprano sax vs. oboe, Lego separator tools, Home Alone 2 plot-points, and a certain faux-opera singer’s [...]

Ok, so it’s been a strange season, that’s true.  But Anthony is back from his travels, and the guys are ready to talk about their weeks, update each other and the Nation on their weight loss and journeys toward the Thanksgiving 5k, and talk food, TV, music, and all the things you’re used to from [...]

Register for the Season 4 Challenges here! Gomernation, some sad news.  Anthony’s grandmother passed away last week and he’s been in WI for the past couple days, unable to record. But the guys decided that with Challenge 1 of Season 4 fast approaching, it was worth it for Steven to take one (hopefully final) crack [...]

Good news, Gomernation! BOTH Gomers are back for this, the second episode of the fourth season.  While much of the episode is welcoming Anthony back and catching up on the not-so-insignificant new developments in his life, the guys find enough time (admittedly, not so hard in an hour thirty minute podcast) to update each other [...]

Make it official!  Register for the two Season 4 Challenges here!

Welcome to Part II of The Gomers’ longest episode to date – almost 2 full hours of looking forward, pontificating, tangenting, and baby-talking.  Sheesh, hope you have a long run coming up so you have time to listen!  If not, do it in small, manageable chunks.  When they start talking ABSOLUTE BEST MOVIE OF THE [...]

Summer is coming to a close, and the Gomers have decided to look ahead.  Join them as they make a valiant attempt at an impromptu and candid conversation about what’s next for the Gomers, and come surprisingly close to a conclusion.  Also, it wouldn’t be an episode of the Two Gomers Podcast if there wasn’t [...]

Enter your finishing time here (column G) or take a look at the results!

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 [...]

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. [...]

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. 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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Part 2 is all about True or Faux, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Our excuse is that since this is a Listerner-Feedback-centric [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

2011 really snuck up on the Gomers, and they are both realizing that their half-marathons are closer than they thought.  But that doesn’t mean they won’t take the time to do some Christmas in Review (specifically what they GOT for Christmas), discuss New Years’ Resolutions from the Gomernation, and review G1′s upcoming race.  And, you [...]

Merry Christmas Nation! Here it is, the Gomer’s 4th of our “4 downloads in 5 days” for you, our faithful listeners.  In this we present to you a Gomer Rewind, remembering our dissertations on the correlation of A Christmas Story and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and the similarities of the Home Alone Score to the [...]

The definition of bittersweet:  the Gomer’s final official Christmas episode of the year.  Don’t worry, though, there’s plenty to get your red-and-white-striped juices going before they’re done, including a super-sized Gomer’s Favorite Things, lots of Christmas Songs to Run To (the good and the bad), and a shocking realization concerning the holiday of choice at [...]

It’s the final official Christmas episode, but of course the guys couldn’t fit it all in one download.  So please enjoy Part I, where the Gomers discuss their (not too great) weeks of running, the shelf-life of Home Alone, and whether or not they’ve kept their Chipotle-related commitments. In Part 1 you’ll hear the Christmas [...]

Auto-tuning!  8-part vocal/bassoon harmony!  Sub sandwiches!  It’s the Two Gomers Run a Marathon: The Sub-Five Strive Jingle!  Enjoy this 1rst (and probably only) cut, and Happy Running!

Ok, ok, so at over 45 minutes, this isn’t exactly a Minisode.  But the Gomers figured it would be ok, you know, since it’s Christmas and all.  Plus, they need that extra time for all the free advertising they’ve decided to do. Join the Gomers for their Weeks in Review, Songs to Run To, Gomers’ [...]

Extra downloadable content from the Gomers?  It must be getting close to Christmas!  Enjoy this fun news about the podcast! Happy Running!

Have you been good little girls and boys this year?  You have?  Well, here’s your present:  The first of three Christmas episodes from the Gomers!  And the holiday cheer comes hard and fast – you won’t need to wait but 2 minutes before a lively Christmas-movie discussion hits your ears. Plus, there’s a brand new [...]

Your instructions: 1.  Head over to the new feed on iTunes:  Two Gomers Run a Marathon: The Sub-Five Strive. 2.  Download all content. 3.  Please leave us a review. 4.  Enjoy Episode 3, and the rest of the season!  Happy Running!

In this not-so-mini-Minisode, there’s four things the Gomers want to tell you about: 1.  Anthony’s concerto. 2.  Their love/hate for the new Harry Potter movie. 3.  Some stories from the Gomer Thanksgiving Challenge. 4.  The new jingle. Enjoy, and Happy Running! Oh, p.s.  If you want to read Steven’s scathing, spoiler-ridden review of HP7 (the [...]

Now that the Gomers are fully into their 3rd season, guess what?  There’s more distractions, injuries, and weird sicknesses than you can shake a bassoon at.  But that’s not stopping them – in fact, they’ve both been having pretty great weeks – not counting the blood in the urine, of course. Plus all your favorite [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Also, plenty of fall TV impressions, folklore remembrances, babysitter pricing discussions, and yes, running talk!  Everything you’ve come to expect in an [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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! Plus a final [...]

Need we say more?

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Plus: Middle School dance awkwardnesses, birthday re-giftings, coffee [...]

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. Gomer2 is still on his road to recovery, and he has a big, albeit slow, week to [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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: [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Gomer2 is still mostly bed-ridden in the aftermath of the big car accident, so the guys thought this would be the perfect time for their third Gomer Rewind.  Join the guys as they take a look back at one of their favorite episodes from the first season, the one recorded one day before their first [...]

The title explains it all, right? This past week Steven got hit by a car while on a run in the fair city of Denver, and he is able to sit up long enough to record a shorter episode so the Gomernation knows the details. And, more importantly, so they know he’s alright. The good [...]

In a miraculous turn of events, BOTH Gomers had a good week this week, and they can’t wait to talk about it.  Join them as they discuss being in control of their runs, who shouldn’t win the Oscar for best picture, eating while traveling, and the effect of weight-loss on cold temperature tolerance.  And oh [...]

Humble pie, anyone?  The Gomers have a big slice they’d be willing to share.  The good news is, most of the Gomernation has forgiven the guys for their insensitivity last week, and after an initial apology from their future selves, they’re ready to move on.  Both of them ran a staggering 16 miles in a [...]

It was a lighter week for the Gomers, and they have a lot to say about it – most of it good.  With the marathon coming up fast, it’s a nice thing to have a good week once in a while!  And since they had a little time to breathe, the guys used the time [...]

“You’re only one run away from a good run.”  That’s Gomer1′s theory, and Gomer2 hopes it’s true, because it was brutal for him this week.  But it makes for good podcast material, right?  Join the guys as they process what it means when one of them has a good week and the other, well, DOESN’T. [...]

It’s the one-year anniversary of the Gomers’ Half Marathon, and they celebrate by – how else? – running 13 miles without stopping. It was the longest run in a year for both of them, and you’ll have to tune in to hear how it went.  SPOILER ALERT:  It went surprisingly well. Also, don’t miss the [...]

It’s a new year, and the Gomers are trying to get back into the swing of things after a long holiday season – with mixed results.  Join them as they talk about their annual training run together, getting back on the bandwagon after travel and Christmas, and running in the single digits, through exotic cities, [...]

It’s the second Two Gomers Special: Two Gomers Get Resolute!  The guys are visited by three ghosts: Past, Present, and Future…well, not really, but they talk about those things in relation to their running journey. Plus, we FINALLY discuss the controversial “Plodders” article from the New York Times…and Steven gets a little heated about it. [...]

Here’s one more taste of Christmas before you put that tree away – the second Gomer Rewind!  This one is holiday-themed, as the Gomers take a look back at their favorite moments from last year’s Christmas episodes.  It’s everything you’d expect – bemoaning snow-runs, waxing nostalgic, and trying not to eat like complete idiots.  Plus [...]

The Gomers have been talking about it for a year, and here it is, the very special Christmas download:  The Cinnamon Challenge! Enjoy the ridiculousness, Merry Christmas, and Happy Running!

Here it is, the final of three in this year’s series of Christmas episodes.  It’s sad, but the Gomers press on, packing in every tiny Christmas-related tidbit they can in between updating the Gomernation on how the marathon-training is going.  Which is, incidentally, pretty well. Join the Gomers as they relate tales of running both [...]

The Gomers are really getting into the Christmas spirit now, with more discussions about food, music, and movies both classic (White Christmas) and kind of a stretch (The Godfather).  Oh, and they ran last week, too.  Kind of.  Winter has decended upon gomer2, and gomer1 does his best to keep him motivated, even though all [...]

It’s the first of three Christmas Episodes, and the Gomers couldn’t be more excited. But they’ve also got a lot of catching up to do – both ran Turkey Trots over Thanksgiving, and Anthony ran ANOTHER race after that. That’s right, three races total in one week. All in the name of being able to [...]

Here it is, the first Two Gomers Special: Two Gomers Get Thankful!  Join the guys as they take a look at their Gomer journey so far and pick the top three things they’re thankful for.  Plus, so much more – insane fundraising stories, dramatic readings from the feared and fabled Third Gomer, and demonstrations on [...]

This week Future Anthony and Future Steven take a look back at when it all began, Episode 1 of Season 1.  But it’s not just a rehash of the same old stuff – The Gomers step in between each section and give behind-the-scenes insight, editor’s commentary, and random thoughts you won’t find anywhere else.  Unless [...]

What do Liz Lemon, Shannon from Lost, Miley Cyrus, all 18 Duggars, and Anthony’s landscaper have in common?  You guessed it, they’re all on this week’s episode – and they all showed up to hear the guys announce their next big project, The Two Gomers Specials.  Actually, the landscaper was the only one actually there, [...]

Ok, this time it’s final.  The Gomers have decided on a new marathon, AGAIN, and it’s a good one.  Join them as they spend the next 20 weeks praying that the thing doesn’t get cancelled.  But hey, if it does, that means more episodes, right?  Maybe this is the podcast that will never end… And [...]

It’s like when Anthony started that one race five minutes late, only the opposite.  Seems like the Gomers spoke too soon on their marathon choice, and recorded two entire podcasts before they realized it.  Sounds like a job for Future Anthony!  And with the first appearance of Future Steven, they do their best to remedy [...]

Time’s up, and that means the Gomers have a decision to make.  After four weeks of discussing, running, doubting, and shingling, what will they decide to do about the big marathon?  The suspense is killing you, right?  You’ll have to check out the Runner’s Corner for the big reveal! Plus another food-related Listener Feedback, our [...]

After three weeks, Steven is back on his feet, and just about everything has changed.  When will Gomer2 be able to run again without almost fainting?  And how does this affect their plans for the marathon?  With only one week left before their second DTR/Re-evaulation, the Gomers are getting a little worried. But not too [...]

One Gomer runs while the other one continues to recover, slowly but surely, this week.  Join them as they continue to hash out what this set-back means, and what people are saying about it…including their moms.  Also, a challenge from Anthony in the Eat and Run section…and a debate concerning Chipotle that everyone’s in on, [...]

This week is all about injury and sickness – so it should be a fun one!  Listen in as the Gomers discuss sprains, sores, aches, pains, and boils. And the Gomers as cultural liaisons to Japan?  It just might happen.  Also, do we have a Biggest Loser mentality or a Survivor mentality?  Go on, take [...]

It’s a big one this week.  The Gomers get down to brass tacks, letting you in on a little conversation that could change everything.  Nervous? Join the club. But don’t worry, the regular sections are here, too  - Week in Review, Runner’s Corner, Songs to Run To…and Listener Feedback, where we discuss this very special, [...]

Both Gomers ran races last week, and they have a lot to say on the subject…and it probably won’t surprise you that Anthony started a full 5 minutes after everyone else did at his 5k, and that Steven is still aching from his trail race, an entire week later. Oh well, they are Gomers after [...]

Episode Two is on, and the Gomers are getting into their marathon training.  Join them as they talk about headaches vs. migraines, running at night vs. running in the day, chill songs vs. upbeat ones, burgers vs. chicken, and Danny Tanner vs. Joey Gladstone. And so much more:  Week in Review, Gomer’s Tips, Songs to [...]

It’s the first official episode of Season 2…and the Gomers are scared.  Join them as they  discuss the challenges of starting a new training regimen, learn how to eat and run, and reacquaint themselves with the art of podcasting. And so much more:  Listener Feedback, Week in Review, the new jingle, new section “Eat and [...]

The Two Gomers are back in this preview episode of their all new season! Join them as they chat about how they feel about the upcoming marathon, whether or not they’re still Gomers, how often they say the word “tease,” and whether or not they’ll make it on Conan this year. Also, all the details [...]

Here it is folks, auto-tuned bassoon and all.  Try not to think about Kanye while you listen to it. Come to think of it, that probably won’t be a problem.

Welcome to the all-new home of the Two Gomers! The Season 2 teaser is coming the last week of August, then our first Marathon episode in early September! Just to tide you over, take a listen to the jingle we debuted last season that you can’t seem to get out of your head…
