Gretchen and Pete may be on a once-a-month schedule, but maybe they’ll get their act together. Maybe.

In this jam-packed episode, we get a rambling #viewsfromthecouch, a Spring Break in Omaha recap, a report from the Ultratraxx Wisp Resort event, and so many Pete rants. How does anyone put up with this guy? Well, it is pretty darn fun anyway!

Gretchen finally pulled herself away from her desk long enough to record an episode!

The return of #viewsfromthecouch includes way too much Pete. James’s love of roundabouts leads to a Pete rant. A two-month-old New Year’s recap, including Pete’s One Word. Spoiler – Gretchen is still not on board with doing one.

Pete also revealed the title of a new fictional podcast he is working on. Gretchen catches us up on her life. And so much more in this exciting return!

Gretchen is working nonstop, so Pete reaches out to his old Slackpackers co-host, Kevin, and they reunite for a very special edition of FMC!

Kevin did something dumb. Pete says lots of dumb things. Lots of laughs and a ton of fun. A pretty typical episode for these two.

Gretchen and Pete will be back very soon. There is a ton to catch up on!

Gretchen and Pete celebrate 16 years of marriage with you on this edition of FMC. What other way would they kick off the show other than a tribute to John Cena? Makes total sense.

More irrational hatreds, including some listener feedback, more gift recs, irrational loves, a new slang term, and so much more in this exciting edition of the FatMan Chronicles! WAIT! No #viewsfromthecouch? Will there be a revolt? We will find out soon.

Gretchen and Pete kick off the holiday season with a Thanksgiving recap, including a special visit from Rob and Heather (and the kids). Pete thinks it was his best turkey ever. It could be, because it was a low bar to begin with.

The couple talks about irrational hatred, what they recommend for Christmas, #viewsfromthecouch, a new slang word, and so much more in this exciting edition of the FatMan Chronicles!

Gretchen continues to work insane hours, and she is solely to blame for the late episode. Seriously, give her some grief. Or some home remedies to fix the shingles that seem to want to set up a permanent home with her.

Pete gets back on the soapbox after a terrible encounter with a nurse. The lack of knowledge around Type 2 Diabetes in parts of the medical community is astounding.

Hiking reviews, #viewsfromthecouch, super powers talk, and so much more in this exciting edition of the FatMan Chronicles!

Pete and Gretchen are back after a busy couple of weeks to share all that is happening in their life. The #viewsfromthecouch are minimal given Gretchen’s travel, but have no fear, there is still plenty to laugh about.

Pete gets serious for a bit as he gets on his soapbox about the difference between mental illness and mental weakness. If you have anything to share on this important topic, please reach out.

Finally, topics turn to cable, Gretchen’s newfound love of professional wrestling, Pete’s disdain of streaming (we are looking at you, Hulu), and this week’s slang term. Laugh, share, rate, and review!

Pete and Gretchen record on time! They start with another new introduction before giving a heartfelt tribute to Daniel and Lily’s Grandma Donna. She will be greatly missed.

Then the fun begins with #viewsfromthecouch and at least two rants from Pete. Deep discussions of weight loss, favorite childhood magazines, and everyone’s new favorite segment, where Gretchen guesses what slang terms mean. So many laughs along the way!

Pete and Gretchen are back after an unintended month away from the podcast. This time #blameGretchen. What happened? Did they prepare for the return?

Also, Pete brings his A game with some new topics that are sure to be crowd favorites. His A game is like a normal person’s D game, so temper expectations. At least these two are having fun!

This ep is dedicated to Gretchen’s cousin, Doug, who passed away suddenly last week. Doug was incredibly talented with classic cars, a fantastic family man, and one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Doug, you will be missed!

After 5 years and 171 episodes, it is time for FMC to end. Pete and Gretchen sit down for one last time to talk about their fond memories of the show, the incredible people that listen, and some typical off-the-wall banter. Never say never, but we believe the show has run its course.

To everyone who has listened, thank you. If we made a difference in your life, we are humbled. We still cannot believe anyone tuned in and we are forever grateful.

Dave takes a backseat in this episode as Pete recaps his Chicago Marathon in the finale of FMC Runs Chicago.

It wasn’t a smooth road as Pete had to overcome some last-minute adversity. In Pete’s words, you don’t usually get the race you want but you get the race you need. Pete needed a test of his toughness. He got it. He crossed the finish line and the story to get there is full of memories he will never forget!

There was a winner in this episode for a free signed copy of Ryan Holiday’s Discipline is Destiny. Pete is giving away two more copies and all you need to do to enter the drawing is to send him a note and include something you are working on or a goal. Congrats to the first winner, Mary Beth!

After an extra week off recording, Pete and Dave are back with some crucial updates. Dave got hit by the latest wave of the pandemic. Pete struggled through some long runs. But both the guys are optimistic about the future.

They also discuss some controversies in the running world. What is a false start? Was there cheating in the 2022 Badwater race? Should we care so much? You know the guys have opinions.

There is a little lag at times during the recording. Pete is working on it. Apologies for any additional annoyance beyond the usual.

This week, the guys open the show talking about Father’s Day and movies. What movie did Dave see with the family and was it worth going to a theater for the first time since 2012?

Pete gives a health update letting you in on what the doctor had to say. Dave weighs in and reveals his overall health picture. They finish off the show with a good discussion around the “why” of weight gain and some possible ways to overcome.

After a week off, Pete and Dave are back with a ton of updates.

The guys kick it off with Dave letting us know what’s been going on. He has some big news on the job front as well as some breakthroughs on his blocks. The mental health discussion is vital for all of us.

Pete has a full review of his Sugar Badger Half-Marathon in beautiful Wisconsin. He also lets you into his “new” mindset and a ton more. So much to unpack in this episode.

After a quick episode featuring Gretchen, Pete and Dave are back and they have a lot to share. If you were thinking, “I really wish Pete would talk more and overshare,” this is your episode!

Dave lets us in on how his week went and some deep conversations with his wife. Pete pretty much tells you about every moment of the last week. Mildly entertaining and very informative.

This week, Dave doesn’t leave you hanging until the end to find out what race he is now signed up for. Back to Chicago? Marine Corps? Philly? Or…

Then Pete and Dave somehow slip into a walk down baseball’s memory lane. They enjoyed it. Will you?

Then the bulk of the rest of the show is the normal update from the guys. How’s training? Food? Alcohol? Are there enough question marks in these show notes? Yep, so let’s just on with it.

Last week, Pete and Dave left you with a bit of a cliffhanger. Would Dave run Chicago or change to Marine Corps? Or something else? This week, that question is answered. At the end of the podcast.

The bulk of the show is a detailed update on where they both are right now. As relatable as ever, the guys don’t hold back on their current situations.

Lots going on, so on with the show!

Did you miss Pete and Dave? No? Whatever, they are back anyway!

Why did the guys not record last week? What’s the double update?

Before you get started, the guys had to slap an “E” on this one because Pete throws a couple of f-bombs. It happens. He apologizes for it upfront, so hopefully, that helps.

Dave lets us in on what's good and bad, as well as the start of his training plan from Team in Training. Pete gives a ton of insights into what has him confronting more demons. Race recap, weight loss talk, healthcare system woes, the pitfalls of navigating mental health, and much more. Lots going on, so on with the show!

Another week and another attempt to clarify statements. Hey, it’s a podcast and if there are comments, people are listening, and Pete and Dave will take that all day!

The episode has a lot of tangents. Maybe some fitness talk. A little about food. Pete has a lot to say about his mental health, body image, and how running doesn’t always help.

Dave lets us in more on how his fitness is coming along and about his training/race strategy. Both of the guys are definitely moving forward. That’s a positive!

Pete and Dave are back with another week of health, fitness, and dietary chatter!

The episode kicks off with Dave filling us in on a decent week, even if today is only a C+ for him. The TNT training plan for Chicago is only a few weeks away from starting. With 28 weeks until the race, how is Dave doing?

Pete recaps his training week, including some weather challenges. How does he get out there when the weather is not great? How is the time in Omaha? To no one’s surprise, Pete and Gretchen are eating their way through that underrated town.

Finally, the guys talk about some feedback they got from Susan. Her take on diet and exercise prompts a really good discussion to end the show.

Who was it that wanted longer episodes? Be careful what you wish for!

Pete and Dave dig into the last week with a full review after Pete reminisces about McRunner and Dave recaps his weekend at a meet with his son and wife.

Then there is a lot of training talk. A lot. Some common ground. And at the end, we find one of Pete’s buttons.

In between, they do discuss some more on nutrition spurred by last week’s episode. The guys both appreciate the honest and open talk and can’t wait for more of it.

As a reminder, there are still two slots left for a $300 donation to your charity if you decide to join FMC at the 2022 Chicago Marathon. With 29 weeks until the race, there is plenty of time to train and make an impact!

How’s the week been for Pete and Dave? Did Dave ever get his labs back? Are they still building that base in training?

All of those questions, and much more, get addressed in this big 1:30+ episode. The guys start out with a little track and field indoor national championship discussion. Spoiler – Braedon kicked some butt out there!

Dave gives us those results and an overall health update. Then Pete dominates the bulk of the episode with some diabetes and injury talk. Who knows how many times the guys either misspoke or made questionable blanket statements? But, as always, they have a great discussion and both feel much better afterward.

Pete and Dave are back with another update with 31 weeks to go until they line up at the start of the 2022 Chicago Marathon.

Pete kicks it off with an update on a challenging week. Did he overcome the challenges to get his runs in? How was his nutrition? Overall health? You know he has plenty to fill you in on.

Dave then tells us all about his tale of two weeks. What went right and what went wrong? The biggest story is really Dave’s return to the doctor after a few years. He’s hoping that telling the full story helps just one other person realize it is time to check on their health.

Pete seems off at the beginning and then seems to talk a ton. Dave gives us insight into his week and overall outlook from now until the race. Pete may be a bit confrontational. Dave takes it in stride. In other words, about what you’d expect.

RunningWarriorSarah is the first to answer the challenge and signed up for the Chicago Marathon while raising money for the American Brain Tumor Association. Check out her Instagram, podcast, and her charity link!

The guys seem to have a track and a plan. Will they stick to it? Is Pete too hard on Dave in this episode? What questions do you have for the guys? Let them know!

Pete and Dave start off with updates on their health journeys with alcohol and food. Pete gives a detailed update on his bloodwork and Dave shares that he is going to a doc for the first time in a couple of years. They also talk about how the alcohol relationship talk is important to others listening, too.

They then turn their attention to the upcoming race season. A little training talk along with some specifics starting to come out about Chicago. Are they planning to run together? Do they have specific goals? How has their outlook evolved? Lots to unpack here.

Then a typical Pete moment happens. He invites others to join them running Chicago in 2022. To do that, you’d need a charity entry. Pete offers a $300 donation to the first three that take them up on the challenge. Will anyone answer the call? Will Gretchen rescind the offer? Find out in the coming weeks!

Pete and Dave had one more listener question to address and they spend ample time on it in this episode. The question came from Penny and was about food/ways of eating that the guys have tried. Well, as you can imagine, they’ve tried a lot, have a ton to say on the subject, and have been concerned about food for many years. Buckle in because it’s over an hour and twenty minutes of FMC talk.

While Pete and Dave have tried different approaches to weight loss and health, they agree on a lot. In the end, they both agree that you need to find what works for you. They also agree that health needs to be the goal and that maintaining is much tougher than losing. Be true to you and find what works. They would also love to hear your stories, so reach out!

Pete and Dave are back at it. This is another episode that is part podcast/part therapy session. It is important that the guys work through these issues (food, alcohol, mental blocks) to conquer the marathon. They are sure more light-hearted laughs are coming, but this is another more serious discussion.

Dave opens up and explains more about how alcohol impacts him and why. Pete does the same while talking about a book recommended from a listener about alcohol control. (The book is called This Naked Mind.)

They also answer some listener questions, talk about their time at Bradley now that Pete’s son has accepted to go there, and a whole lot more. Keep those questions and subjects coming in!

It’s time for Gretchen to (finally) get a break from Pete. And for us all to pray for Dave.

This special “season” of the FatMan Chronicles features Pete and Dave – Two middle-aged dads on a journey to conquer the Chicago Marathon. This first chapter is really an overview of their lives and what’s coming up. There’s a more serious tone to the show this time out as both guys open up about their struggles.

They are gearing up to train to run the 2022 Chicago Marathon. How will they get there? What’s the plan? How will they balance everything else in life? That’s what this series will be all about.

There is a bit of an audio issue in this episode as Pete learns some new technology to record remotely. Bear with him as he figures it all out.

Pete and Gretchen are back but for how long? Is it the end of the podcast? What’s happened over the last six months?

The couple starts the show with a dedication to three friends they have lost – Linda (OG Patron and Gretchen’s #viewfromthecouch partner in crime); Steven (a friend of Pete’s from his days at Hub Group); and John (a good friend of Pete’s for the last 30 years). These losses, plus Gretchen losing her beloved cat, Angel, have made for a tough holiday season.

Even with all of that, Pete and Gretchen power through the show with their signature banter, moments of laughter, and plenty of complaints. Listen in to find out the fate of the show.

Gretchen is still MIA. OK, she’s out of town on business. We still don’t get her priorities. People need #viewsfromthecouch. Oh, well, maybe next time.

Instead, Pete invites Rob Bozovich back to do a race event in preview. Pete goes back to the Badger Trail in Wisconsin to take on the 50K. Put on by Ten Junk Miles Racing, this is an incredible event.

This year Pete will walk it. The goals – enjoy the day, encourage some people, maybe cross a finish line. Truly no expectations for this one. It should make for an interesting recap soon!

For the first time ever, Pete and Gretchen talk to guests live on location. They welcome Rob and Heather Bozovich back to the show. That’s two couples for the price of, well, nothing!

SOUND WARNING: This was recorded in a kitchen in the new Bozovich home with only three mics. The quality is ok but not up to our normal standards. Be kind. And remember the show is free 😊.

They recap their trip to PA while catching up with the Bozovich’s. #Viewsfromthecouch is a bit different but just as special as always.

Pete and Gretchen also give you an update on their health journey, specifically with Omada. Pete whines a lot – fair warning!

There is a reason Pete and Gretchen didn’t record last Sunday (Father’s Day). Really. At least that’s the story they are sticking to.

A long #viewsfromthecouch. Gretchen fans will be thrilled.

A health update that shouldn’t be a surprise. Struggles. But a plan?

Pete gives a huge #50at50 update. He nearly reads the entire list before catching himself. He needs to pick some highlights going forward so you don’t fall asleep. Or maybe that’s how you use this podcast and this is perfect.

Finally, Pete talks about calling an Audible from podcasts. Pun-tastic!

It has been over four months since you’ve heard from Pete and Gretchen. While the break for them was necessary, and the relief for you was likely profound, the couple is back (for now) and ready to share what’s been happening.

We all know that people missed Gretchen, so after a bit of an introduction, she jumps right into four months’ worth of #viewsfromthecouch. And wait until you hear the shows they have been walking together!

Gretchen and Pete both give some health updates. How are they feeling? How are they doing? Is Pete still a hot mess? (You already know this answer.)

Pete promises a bigger #50at50 update soon. In the meantime, there is an update to the list and it’s a fun one.

This episode kicks off with Gretchen questioning her #viewsfromthecouch. Are changes coming? We are all on the edge of our seats.

In better news, Gretchen continues to use Mirror. She is doing cardio, strength, and core. Finally, something she likes and is going to stick with.

Pete gives an update on his health, including the return of severe migraines. The doc has a plan, and he is hopeful it works.

The bulk of the episode is the rest of Pete’s #50at50 list. What is on it? What’s missing? Let him know your thoughts.

Pete kicks off the list with his 50K walk on Friday, 1/29. Send him a note to cheer him on. Or give him grief. All of it is good with us!

If you want to see the list, send Pete or Gretchen a note.

Pete is turning 50 soon, and this episode starts to unveil his #50at50 list. But before we can get into that…

Gretchen gives her #viewsfromthecouch and an update on her Mirror workouts. She continues to enjoy it and has plans for the future.

Next, the couple talks about this article from Yahoo News talking about fitness trainer, Drew Manning, gaining over 60 pounds to relate better to his overweight clients. Dude. Seriously? Pete and Gretchen, as well as some listeners, had some thoughts.

Finally, Pete starts to reveal his #50at50 list. He talks about the motivation for the project as well as how he intends to look at the goals. He'll reveal more from the list on the next episode. Want to follow along or have ideas? Reach out or comment on social media!

2020 has been a year. Pete and Gretchen talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright absurd in this episode.

But first… Gretchen gives a special #viewsfromthecouch about The Crown on Netflix. That segment lasts awhile because Pete has questions. The royals are an entertaining bunch.

Next up is a Mirror update from Gretchen. She says she likes it. Yes, LIKES IT.

Pete updates on his fitness and talks about how gaining weight needs to stop. This will be a 2021 focus. Will it stick?

After lots of 2020 chat, the couple reveals their one-word choices for 2021. Gretchen goes with #committment. Pete goes with #soul. Hopefully, Disney doesn’t sue him.

Pete and Gretchen also focused their 2020 giving on a couple of charities. They don’t talk about this much, but they are committed to giving back when they can. One charity is the Sunbow Foundation. The other is Blessings in a Backpack. Both are amazing organizations making big impacts on the world. If you are looking to support a great charity, check them out.

Gretchen’s back! She leads off by telling us why there may be no One Word for 2021 before launching into her patented #viewsfromthecouch.

Pete and Gretchen talk about their new workout routines, how their diet is still crap and possible 2021 plans. Lots to catch up on, so let’s get started!

Gretchen needs a bit more time off, so Pete goes solo in this episode. Fear not, it is not just Pete giving a 45-minute stream of consciousness soliloquy because he is joined by our very good friend, Rob Bozovich.

Last time Rob visited, we learned some about his affinity for indoor cycling with Zwift. Pete asks Rob a lot more about Zwift and the two delve into the details. If you want to learn more about Zwift, or just pick Rob’s brain, hit him up or contact Pete for an introduction.

Pete also talks to Rob about his overall health during the pandemic. As usual, Rob is candid while giving the full picture of what’s been happening. It is always fun to hear what Rob has to offer!

Are you ready for Pete and Gretchen unleashed? Not enough for rated R, but it gets close. Listener beware.

The couple jumps right into Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch. She talks about a Real Housewife that is dealing with addiction. Pete actually jumps in here to give his perspective. This is the most important part of this episode, and it’s all downhill from here.

Gretchen seems thrilled that Pete will watch the Bradshaw Bunch. Well, maybe not, but he insisted. This is one funny show if you haven’t seen it.

Gretchen updates on her health and how she is trying to consistently walk three days per week. This is where Pete starts jumping in and they recount the many bad meals over the last week. This is all in the context of how the pandemic continues to impact life. They apologize now if you can never look at an egg roll the same again.

Pete’s #viewsfromtheblackboard is not even safe this week. Hopefully, you find this as funny as your hosts. If you never want to admit that you listen to FMC again, they get it.

Pete and Gretchen have some things to say about how COVID is impacting their lives, especially with school. They are clear that this is not political. They are not bashing teachers. They are sharing the impact and their views. They normally steer clear of this stuff. And probably will in the future. Maybe. Maybe not. It’s their show 😊.

Then the normal show kicks in. We hear Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch. She gives an update on her walking and nutritionist. If her nutritionist listens, apologies in advance.

Pete talks about how inconsistent he’s been and what is coming next. The bottom line is that these two need to get on the same page. Will it happen? Share your thoughts.

Finally, the couple gives an update on Pete’s quest for the perfect straw while getting fully in PG-13 territory. We think he stops short of rated R. They also talk about their quest to find the perfect showerhead. Oddly, they try to give one away. Seriously. This may be overboard. But, it is pure FMC!

Pete and Gretchen are back, and they have some updates. Gretchen starts right off with a full health update. How are things with walking? With the nutritionist? We want to know! 

Then it is time for #viewsfromthecouch. Is Gretchen really tiring of reality TV? This could spell doom for the podcast. OK, not really, but still. 

Pete offers up an update on how he is doing after his emotional episode. Spoiler – still not great, but there are definitely glimpses now of who you’ve come to know. 

Pete rails on AT&T and the awful mobile communication industry. Yes, there is a story here. 

Finally, the couple discusses straws. Yes, straws. And they welcome your thoughts on this important matter.

After a long two-and-a-half weeks, Pete and Gretchen are back. The episode starts as normal with Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch and Pete’s #podcastcorner. There is some of their usual humor, but most of this episode is serious.

Pete and Gretchen offer a peek into why they did not record. Pete’s struggle with depression was coupled with severe anxiety. Then guilt started. The cycle was vicious, and Pete just couldn’t find the mental strength to break out of it.

This was a very difficult episode to record. It may not have happened had the couple not received a note from a listener telling them, especially Gretchen, what a difference the podcast made in their family’s lives. If Pete sharing his struggles connects with only one other person, it was worth the extreme vulnerability. They both want to thank all of you for the amazing support. They will continue to work tirelessly to #defeatthestigma.

Another early morning recording but this time it’s #blameGretchen. This episode is mostly about her anyway.

Gretchen starts with her #viewsfromthecouch and has a shocking revelation. What will everyone think? Next, she tells us all about her first week of a new nutrition plan with her registered dietician, Nicole. This is very different from what’s she’s been doing. Find out how it’s going.

Pete updates us on how he’s faring with a brief overview of his health and running. He also brings up his #50at50 project. He’ll have a preliminary list to share in an upcoming episode. In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming!

Pete and Gretchen recorded this on the morning of release because, well, you’ll see. #BlamePete

Pete changes it up by hitting #talesfromtheblackboard first. The remote learning challenges are real. However, they are making the best of it. He also throws in his #podcastcorner early with a brand-new offering from History and C13 called, “It Was Said.” Pete is really looking forward to this one.

After that, Gretchen chimes in with her #viewsfromthecouch. Again, no reality shows. This time she is all-in on the Cobra Kai on Netflix. As children of the 80s, they both love this show.

Gretchen gives an update on her walking goals and nutritionist. Although Annie is booked, she was able to get time with her podcast partner, Nicole, and has her first meeting today. She’ll update us next episode. If you are interested in learning more, go to Ornery Mule Racing.

Don’t forget to send your suggestions for Pete’s #50at50 project. So far, he’s only turned down running nude because no one – NO ONE – needs that!

After determining Gretchen’s knowledge of any music outside of Bon Jovi and 90s Pop is nil, the episode dives right into #viewsfromthecouch. This week is a bit different with Gretchen talking about The World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji. Pete was watching it when Gretchen got into it and they watched it together. There are a ton of spoilers in this one, so beware!

Gretchen gives a health update on her knee. Then makes a commitment to get moving. Will it happen? We’ll find out soon.

Pete then comes clean about his weight gain and his struggles. Depression, weight gain, and getting near rock-bottom, it’s been a tough stretch for Pete. He feels like he is breaking out of it. If not, what will he do? We have confidence he is going to fix it and get his health back.

Finally, Pete’s Podcast Corner recommends a true-crime podcast called The Orange Tree. This one can get graphic and intense, so be warned. It is extremely well-done.

Gretchen is back and so is an extended #viewsfromthecouch. She isn’t happy about what happened to Hannah on Below Deck: Mediterranean. Is she justified? You’ll get about 20 minutes of a story to find out. Pete actually saw this episode and chimes in. Then he makes a guarantee you won’t want to miss.

Pete then gives you his pick in his #podcastcorner by urging you to check out Elizabeth Carr’s The 1st. Great stories and a fascinating insight into the world of infertility. Seriously, it is very interesting.

The rest of the episode is really about Pete’s experiences over the first couple of days of in-home, online kindergarten. What has he learned? Is he able to keep up? Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, Pete’s take on in-home schooling is definitely what you expect from him and more.

Gretchen is traveling to be with her mom, so Pete asked Rob Bozovich to join the show. The guys fill in their own #viewsfromthecouch. Although they talk about reality shows, they are a bit different than Gretchen’s.

The bulk of the episode is about catching up with Rob. What’s he been up to for the last year? How’s he handling quarantine? What adventures does he have planned? All that and more in this packed episode!

Don’t forget to send you suggestions for Pete’s #50at50 project. So far he’s only turned down running nude because no one – NO ONE – needs that!

Now, get out there and #bebettertoday!

Pete and Gretchen are outside for this special episode of the FatMan Chronicles. They start out with a lengthy #viewsfromthecouch from Gretchen. But Pete chimes in about a couple of shows. The biggest part is the controversy in the American Ninja Warrior community with the arrest of the sport’s biggest star, Drew Drechsel.

After that bit of ugliness, the couple regales you with stories about their trip to Wisconsin. This was supposed to be the weekend of the Badger Trail Races. They were canceled due to the ongoing pandemic. Yet, Pete and Gretchen made the most of it.

Pete didn’t have a podcast for you this week to check out. He’ll have one next time. Also, he will return to Wisconsin for the Badger Trail Races next year. What distance will he do?

Finally, Pete brings up his 50 at 50 (#50at50) project. What do you think should be on his list? Let him know!

Pete and Gretchen are back from Nebraska and recording from the living room. That means Gretchen is on THE couch.

The couple starts off just talking about life. With the decision for Michaela's school to go 100% remote, will Pete’s patience hold up as a Kindergarten teacher/aide? We all know the answer, but he is going to try anyway.

Then #viewsfromthecouch returns. Gretchen has a lot to say about the 90 Day Fiancé shows and there are many.

Finally, they update us on their health. Lots of veggies after a meat-fest in Nebraska.

Pete suggests taking a listen to Guru: The Dark Side of Enlightenment in his podcast corner. True crime and a fascinating story.

Pete and Gretchen traveled to West Point, Nebraska to be with Gretchen’s family after the sudden passing of her aunt and Godmother. They dedicate this show to her.

A quick episode recorded from their hotel room, they catch you up on Gretchen’s lack of #viewsfromthecouch and how Pete’s running is going. They regale you with stories of food (surprise!) and a few other happenings.

Pete offers up Between 2 Pastries in his podcast corner after talking to Annie Weiss in episode 105 of the show. Definitely check it out!

Gretchen is back, thankfully, but really short on #viewsfromthecouch. Her commitment to her fans is suspect at this point. She better fix it soon!

Pete shares a couple of training stories. He really does have a lot of things that happen while running. It must be him.

Pete then launches into his take on the proper use of a peanut butter jar. He may have shared this before, but he feels compelled to rail on about it again.

Finally, the couple promotes their love of Mr. Bevis dry rubs. An unpaid endorsement, but if they are listening, the ad slot is open! Go get some and let them know what you think. Make sure you tell them you heard about it on the FatMan Chronicles.

Gretchen takes the episode off as Pete welcomes listener, fan, and Patron, Amy Powarzynski. But don’t fret, Gretchen and her #viewsfromthecouch will be back next week.

Pete and Amy chat about her background, changes during the pandemic, and her athletic pursuits. Amy also talks about her one meal per day intermittent fasting plan. It’s always great to hear about what way of eating works for someone. A great chat and a big thank you to Amy for coming on and being a Patron!

Also, Amy mentions being coached by John Harris at Endurance for Everyone. Check out his website and podcast.

This episode starts with a strange aside about “vintage” Apple computers from Pete. The Apple chat definitely isn’t Gretchen’s choice and she tries to move him along. Was she successful?

The usual #viewsfromthecouch is next up. Pete wants to know if Linda has committed to a Views from the Couch special episode. She may need more encouragement.

Gretchen’s revelations in episode 101 were touching and lots of you reached out to lend support. She gives an update here. Pete also reveals he is going to interview a registered dietician soon for The No Fear Project and will release it as a crossover episode on FMC.

The couple also discusses their food sensitivity test results. Some surprises overall there.

From there, it is the typical update on Pete’s training and weight loss. Did he make his goal for the bet with Kevin? Did Kevin? And that’s a wrap!

Who do Pete and Gretchen think they are? They hit 100 episodes and then… crickets!

Well, they are back and have some catching up to do. Gretchen starts out the show with a reveal on some reflecting she is doing. It gets deep and emotional. But have no fear, the hilarity ensues from there.

Gretchen claims there is a way to work out in her sleep. She talks #viewsfromthecouch. Pete updates us on his training, including bird attacks, things seen on his run, and a “mean girls” moment.

Pete also reveals some bets he has made with his friend, Kevin, for weight loss. No way he wants to lose to that guy, so you know he is motivated.

The couple also talks about their experience with Mr. Bevis BBQ Rubs. These are fantastic and you should check them out. This is an unpaid endorsement but be sure to tell them you heard about it on the FatMan Chronicles podcast!

Finally, they talk about consistency in recording and releasing podcasts. They are only 101 episodes in, so now is as good a time as any to nail this down.

Pete shows true professionalism to open the show. It may be the best, and worst, opening ever.

Gretchen jumps in with some outrage over Pete’s lack of confidence in her participation in a show staple. From there, it is time for a special Tiger King edition of #viewsfromthecouch.

Pete gives an update on his health. The doctor’s orders have led to a new way of eating. How will they balance NSNG and the Mediterranean Diet? There are quite a few challenges.

The couple’s daughter, Michaela, who is almost 5, decided that she wants to be a YouTube star. Check out her channel – Love Juniors – and subscribe. It is hilarious!

Pete and Gretchen then launch into a good 10+ minutes on cereal. What are your favorites? Gretchen’s are insane, and Pete’s are full of sugary goodness.

After a debate on the merits of watching movies as they come on TV versus streaming or DVD, they reminisce about shows from their childhood. All this before wrapping up with Pete’s Podcast Corner – Every Little Thing.

Finally, Pete and Gretchen are back. After episode 95’s emotional revelations, the couple took some time to get back to on the mics. They give you the reasons and then dive right in.

While the COVID-19 virus changed the lives of many in the world, Pete and Gretchen were undergoing some changes of their own. They are in self-imposed quarantine, meaning not sick, which brings forth a few more challenges.

Gretchen gives her #viewsfromthecouch and implores the audience to encourage a podcast episode (or even a new podcast) with her friend Linda. Sound like fun? Let us know!

She then updates everyone on her health and weight loss. Lent is the catalyst for her changes. How are they going?

Pete updates you on some new health challenges, his weight loss, and dealing with a canceled race. Lots going on and we will find out what the future holds.

The battle is never-ending, frustrating, and deeply emotional. Just how emotional will be clear when you hear Gretchen breakdown. The couple decided not to edit this episode. It is raw and you may want to grab a tissue.

Pete’s podcast corner fits right into the subject of weight loss, nutrition, and our connection to food – Long Run 96 of Ten Junk Miles with Annie Weiss. It’s long but very interesting!

Pete and Dave get into a series of deep conversations about mental health, physical health, plant-based eating, and more. Dave even takes over #viewsfromthecouch and Pete’s Podcast Corner. While the views are nowhere near Gretchen’s take, Dave’s podcast selection is excellent – Team Never Quit.

Dave’s story is compelling, inspirational, and something everyone should follow. Connect with him on his Facebook page, Making the Most of the 2nd Half. It’s worth it!

Music – “You Got Me Wrong” by Sifar

Pete’s Podcast Corner recommends taking a listen to The Dream. This podcast tackles the world of MLMs and is really fascinating. (Note – This is Pete’s opinion and no sponsorship money is taken.)

The big topic discussion tackles the controversial comments made by Jillian Michaels about Lizzo. Pete and Gretchen do not hold back in their opinions of what Jillian may have right but definitely got wrong. The bottom line is no one should talk about someone else’s body or health. Pete sums it up with be kind, listen more, and judge less.

Reach out and let the couple know your opinion on this important topic. Talking about weight properly is critical in our society. Chime in!

Music – “You Got Me Wrong” by Sifar

The episode opens with the usual wine, #viewsfromthecouch, and training updates. Pete reveals his sub-5 marathon plans. Watch for the #Breaking5 hashtag often!

Next is a review of 2019. How did it go? What goals were met, or not? They miss talking about 2019 One Words, but, hey, they obviously don’t prepare.

2020 plans are next up. Gretchen stumbles through a few goals first. Then Pete lays out his plans. He has some demons he continues to fight, and the talk turns serious. Gretchen listens and offers support. Pete breaks down a bit on the air. They promise authenticity and this difficult subject is no exception.

Finally, the couple reveals their 2020 One Word choices. Gretchen’s may involve a random word generator before she homes in on something. Share your One Word choices with us!

Music – “You Got Me Wrong” by Sifar

Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch returns to those crazy 90-day couples. They also talk about the show “Making It” and their love of Amy and Nick.

After a quick recap of their training, almost none, Pete dives into his plans based on the Chicago Marathon lottery. There is a weird segment that deals with his complete feet-hate that is sure to win some sort of podcast award.

Pete’s Podcast Corner encourages you to listen to episode 4 of Finding Fred. It is an emotional story that everyone should know.

Finally, they talk about the new Keto 2.0 trend and some support in Pete’s camp that black pepper is spicy. Thankfully, it wraps up from there.
