This is a previous show from 2018 that I have edited to put out this year again. Many of us (myself included) are striving to lose a few more pounds, even during the Holiday Season. This episode discusses subtle changes that you can make when planning and consuming your Thanksgiving Dinner that can help keep you on track, so you don't lose any of the hard work that you have put in during these last months. Please keep an open mind and give it a listen. Even choosing to do one or two things that I outline can make a big difference whether you won't gain any additional body fat, or if the Holiday goes completely off-the-rails.

So I had what I am referring to as a Fan Event, because this is probably the closest to an actual Meet-&-Greet that I will ever have. My husband Paco and I hosted two of my long-time fans for a day of hiking and dinner. Henry and Christopher join me for a relaxed (that means with wine) discussion about their thoughts of how they came to be together as a couple for 40 years. We laugh quite a bit and have fun. This wonderful visit came about because I have corresponded with these two listeners for quite some time. We were honored to host these two wonderful men. I hope you enjoy the show. There is an echo at times as we were in my new studio and I haven't put up sound-proofing yet.

Welcome to Sweeps Period 2024. This year I have a series of fascinating INTERVIEWS for you, and we start off with an interesting conversation with Brett Edward Stout, an ex-Marine who has written a series of books about a gay ex-Marine. Sugar-Baby Bridge is the first in the series and it introduces the reader to Brad, a recently discharged Marine, who is trying the find his post-military identity after serving as a man who is used to acting on orders without question. When he meets his polar-opposite in Ron, his world-view takes an unexpected turn during an eventful adventure.

Sweeps Period 2020 starts off with a humorous and heart-felt conversation with Randy Slovacek about his extensive Broadway and Touring Company performance experience. We last visited with Randy when we discussed his popular LGBTQ Podcast and Blog, both titled The Randy Report. Now Randy tells us in a two-part series about how he got his start in Musical Theater and all about his many big-name musicals performed with some big-name Stars !

In this second episode I remind you of what you should have done between these two episodes, and then move on to development of Minor Characters and Filler between your Milestones. We then talk about the voicing and appearance of your Characters and how to join all the scenes together so that you have a good continuous story and a world that you have created.

I also talk about my general writing style and how it might help you. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!

This is an awesome INTERVIEW show with Randy Slovacek of The Randy Report Blog and Podcast.
The Randy Report was recently named one of the Top 13 LGBTQ+ Blogs You Need To Follow by PRNewswire and it has been recognized as a Top 50 LGBT Blog by Feedspot.com

In this enjoyable conversation, Randy tells us about how The Randy Report came to be, and the many aspects that keep the Blog and Podcast at the forefront of LGBTQ news.

Have you ever dreamed of writing the Great American (or wherever) Novel? Have you ever read a book and was disappointed and said 'Hey I could have written that better'?
Well, here is your chance. Most of us are still locked up in our homes and have done just about everything to occupy our time. This is the PERFECT time to try out your writing skills.

This episode (and Part 2 coming in a couple weeks) discusses my own method for writing my gay sports novel 'Northridge High Football Camp' and it's sequel 'The Guys of Northridge'. I can't say how other authors have produced their work, but the method that I used I think is a very learnable technique. So why not give it a try?

In this Part 1, I talk about the genre of your book, about establishing your main characters and creating milestone scenes to bring your characters toward the conclusion of your story.

So many gay men have to deal with their boyfriend/partner/husband cheating on them. Sometimes it takes years to find out, and by then you might have gotten legally married, bought a house together, co-mingled bank accounts and/or adopted children together. When your lives are so entwined, the discovery of one of you cheating can be devastating to the other. Is monogamy realistic? Can you re-build trust after being lied to? Is a cheater always a cheater?
In this episode I tell you a story from my own experience with a cheating boyfriend. I also read to you an email from a guy who is at wits end on what to do with his husband who may be cheating on him. I also asked a question of an online Gay Over 40 group, if they had been cheated on, were there tell-tale signs. I read you their responses.
This is always a difficult subject and is the continuation of an ongoing discussion about gay relationships.

In this first Interview of Season 5, I talk to Hollywood LGBTQ Independent Filmmaker, Jason T. Gaffney. Jason talks about the current film that he has in release called 'Analysis Paralysis', a funny (and HOT) LGBTQ comedy. We talk about his mission, the process of making this film and the reception that it has had by the older gay community.
Jason is an award-winning writer, actor, producer and director and you don't want to miss this awesome conversation we had about filmmaking.
Jason's films in release include: The Perfect Wedding Russian Doll Analysis Paralysis
In post-production: Out of Body
In pre-production: A Dekkoo Original Series: Marriage of Inconvenience
Web Series: Fame Dogs
Additionally, he is the author of the 'California Comedy' series of LGBTQ romance novellas: Creating Clark A Match for Mike Fixing Frank
Jason can be reached at: On Facebook: www.Facebook.com/JasonTGaffney On Twitter: Twitter.com/JasonTGaffney Web Site: www.JasonTGaffney.com
Analysis Paralysis is currently available through: Dekkoo Web Channel (channel is available through Amazon Prime)- iTunes- Amazon- GooglePlay

In this final episode of the decade, I tell you about my experience in working at one of the Large Weight Loss Companies for a year. I talk about what the food is like, what the strategies are for getting (and keeping) clients on their program, and what you can expect when you walk through the front door.
Additionally, I talk a bit more about my strategy for going out on New Year's Eve all alone, and I ask a Vintage TV Trivia Question about 'Designing Women'. Please join me !

Do the Holidays get you down? Is it because you haven't had much luck in finding a Boyfriend/Husband?
Well, the Holidays can be an awesome time for new connections (romantic and the other....).  I talk about this subject, as well as a funny story about my first meeting with my husband Paco.
Also, my own '11 Rules for Getting A Second Date' (or for impressing on the first one).

Well, it's the final push for the last votes to get An Older Gay Guy Show Podcast to be a Nominated Show for the 2024 People's Choice Podcast Awards.

The conclusion of the 3-part interview series with Officer Ron, the Gay Prison Guard. In this episode, Officer Ron tells us a few tantalizing stories about the inmates, as well as how and why he chose to become a Corrections Officer.
My thanks to Officer Ron for his candid stories about his experiences. Officer Ron will be back in 2020 for another 3-part series about his long Military career that preceded Corrections.

Sweeps Period continues with Part Two of my fascinating interview with Officer Ron Odion, a 20 year veteran of the New Mexico State Penitentiary. Officer Ron is a proud gay man, and his unique perspective will be of interest to all in the LGBTQ Community.
In this second part, Officer Ron tells us about the sexual encounters he witnessed, how the inmates viewed homosexual acts, and the gang activity that was often sexually related.

Part One of a Two-Part Series on my experiences as a Funeral Director and Embalmer.  This is an insider's look into what happens when a person dies. One of the reasons I wanted to do this series is that I wanted to let you know what happens behind the scenes and ways that you could save money when you have to arrange a funeral.
This episode will be of interest to many of you, as we are all aging. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do, especially if we have elderly family members, or even yourself with pre-arrangements.
I wanted to make that easier for you and give you some tips that will give you information that will be useful under those circumstances. Plus, it's just fascinating stuff !
For those who get grossed out easily, embalming stuff will be in Part 2, so no worries about this episode.

Sweeps Period 2019 begins with a fascinating Interview Show with Officer Ron Odion, a retired, Gay Prison Guard who worked in a State Penitentiary in Santa Fe, New Mexico for 24 years.
In a 3-part episode arc, Officer Ron gives us a glimpse into the true-life workings of a prison: the guards, the prisoners and the many facets of activities that make up the Correctional System. Officer Ron tells us of his experiences in the Training Academy and how he was treated, and tells us stories of what is was like to be a gay man in this testosterone-fueled climate.
Don't miss this fascinating look at an institution that most of us (thankfully) will never see on our own.

We all want to be happy. Yet for many, happiness seems to be elusive. Should we change our locations? Change our jobs? Search out better partners? In this look at elusive happiness, maybe the road map has been left behind.

Many of us older gay guys are single, and as we age, we might lose contact with friends through relocation, illness, death, arguments; a host of reasons. And that can lead to isolation and eventual depression. 
One of the ways that I have dealt with loneliness over the years, is that I learned how to travel by myself and enjoy the experiences many times more than if I had a traveling companion. Now traveling alone for some, is a very strange concept. Why would you want to be alone? Isn't the point of traveling to be able to enjoy the location, sights, dinners, memories etc. with someone else? Maybe. But what if you don't have a boyfriend/husband or friends that want to travel to some of the exotic places you always dreamed of going? Should you wait until you have a partner to travel with? (We aren't getting any younger!) Or, do we have to give up on ever going to those places?
I want to tell you about a few of my experiences with circling the globe alone and the self-sufficiency I learned along the way.

I found some news today that made me think about regrets and lessons in life, and I want to share some thoughts with you.
Please....don't miss my LIVE Interactive Show on Valentine's Day night, February 14, 2019. There will be LOTS of Vintage and Current TV Trivia, I will tell you an absolutely unforgettable story about a Valentine's Day date that I had, and there will be some time for questions and answers. An Older Gay Guy Show LIVE Interactive I HATE/LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY Show !!  There is info in the last few minutes of this episode. Please join me !!!!!

Don't you hate it when one of your closest friends, maybe even your BEST friend, gets into a relationship with a guy and suddenly you don't hear from him as often, or hang out with him as often? And then you find yourself being invited out with the new couple, and you become the dreaded '3rd wheel'. That sucks. Even worse, what if all your friends in your immediate social circle are in relationships and you are the only one left single? So when you go out, you are the.....11th wheel? 19th? How do you possibly navigate that?!?  Let's discuss !
Don't miss An Older Gay Guy Show LIVE Interactive Show, the 'I HATE/LOVE Valentine's Day Show' on Valentine's Day NIGHT, February 14, 2019 from 10:00 pm - 12 Midnight, Eastern Standard Time (7:00 - 9:00 pm West Coast, 12 noon - 2:00 pm on Friday in Australia)
More info on the LIVE Show will be coming next week.

In the 1970's, during my High School years, a couple of friends and I left a lame party and decided to drive to New York City, where none of us had been, on New Year's Day. This is that story and the unusual way we killed time on the road.

The first episode of Season 4 comes via an email I received from a very nice gentleman in Australia. It has prompted a discussion on why young gay guys are so unkind and mean. As always, this is based on my opinions and my experience. I hope it can prompt some thoughts.
The Vintage TV Trivia Question of the week is a fun reflection on The Dick Van Dyke Show from the 1960's.
I am looking for guests for this season. If you feel you have a story to tell that relates to the older gay community, please contact me and let me know you'd like to come on. It is a pre-recorded interview that can be edited, so please have no fears about doing the show. It will be fun and relaxing. Contact me via: AnOlderGayGuyShow@gmail.com

This year's Sweeps Period concludes with the 2nd Part of my conversation with Kris Venezia about what is new in the areas of cosmetic work available for guys.
This is not a suggestion or endorsement for you to run out and get cosmetic work, but for many older guys, especially those who have suffered from the effects of HIV and the powerful drugs that are taken to keep it at bay, this information is important. With some, it could even be life-saving, as the depression and isolation people often feel can take its toll on the psyche.
In this second half, we discuss Cool Sculpting, Gastric Bypass and Hair Pieces (and those in Hollywood that wear them!) So sit back and enjoy this insider's look at the world of cosmetic work.
** This Sunday, September 30, 2018, is International Podcast Day and will be the announcement of the Winners of the 13th Annual People's Choice Podcast Awards. I am Nominated for 2 Podcast Awards: The LGBTQ Podcast Award and the Mature Podcast Award. Please tune-in LIVE on Sunday at 8:00 pm Eastern Time (5:00 pm Pacific Time) for the Announcement of the Winners. Go to PodcastAwards.com to view the Awards LIVE. Thanks !!! **

At the request of a listener from British Columbia, Canada regarding his self-doubt as he takes a new position running a sports team, we look at two self-esteem philosophies: The Peter Principle and Impostor Syndrome. Now while these theories can be viewed as a negative source of esteem, when coupled with a more applicable and positive method of coping with self-esteem that we talk about in the second half of today's episode, we can assess our self-doubt easier when looking at this subject from various points of view. The episode concludes with a basic tenant of success that we can all apply in times of indecision and uncertainty.
A Vintage TV Trivia Question is posed at the start of the show and the answer is given in the concluding minutes of the podcast.
Thanks so much for joining me today ! - Joey

This serious episode is the second half of my series on Depression that started with the episode 'Depression: Emotional Eating'. Today I tell you about the serious danger that I was in due to depression after my parent's deaths. I discuss how my depression first surfaced, plans I had made to take my own life and treatment that I sought out to deal with my issues of grief.  But most importantly, I talk about revelations I had during this process that allowed me to view the world in a different way, that ultimately has brought me to the better place I am in these last 20 years or so.
This episode is my personal experiences and opinions. Do not view this as any kind of therapy or professional guidance. If you feel you are depressed or if you ever have suicidal thoughts, please seek out professional help. I have been able to overcome my grief and relationship issues only through professional therapy and prescribed medications. This show is only my personal opinions.

In today's Sweeps Period episode, I think everyone will find this fascinating. Kris Venezia (from 'The Almost Transition' episode) returns to discuss all the current treatments available for guys who wish to look their best as they age.
Even if you have no interest in having Cosmetic Work done, I think you will find it very interesting.
We talk about Kris' history of Cosmetic Work, we also discuss Fillers, Laser Hair and Spot Removal, Cool Sculpting, how to tell if you might need some Hairline Restoration, and we even touch upon Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump.
This is Part One of a Two Part episode due to the length of the interview. Part Two of this show will air in three weeks. I will do two other episodes first, for those not interested in this subject.
Enjoy! - Joey

An Interview Show with Mr. Providence Eagle 2017, Jay Menick. Jay gives us insight into the Leather Community, it's clubs, contests and history.
If you have never been a participant in this side of the Gay Community, this episode will give you some surprises. Enjoy!
Tomorrow, Thursday August 9th, I will release a NEW Story Episode called 'Blond Shaggy-Haired Surfer Boy - My First Crush' in which I tell you all about my summers on a lake up North as a tribute to my father. And....I describe my crush's body in vivid detail from the memory of a voyeuristic prepubescent (that's me!), and I also tell you of some future plans that my Husband Paco and I have made.
Look for that episode to be on the air tomorrow at 6:00 pm EDT.
Thanks !!!! - Joey

Can gay men have a friendship/bromance with an ex easier than a straight couple? Are you friends with any of your exes? I examine an article by author Jeremy Helligar as a prequel to the episode coming up titled 'Monogamy vs. Open Relationships'.

Don't miss the 'Golden Girls' Trivia Questions at the end of the podcast!

There is a new video on 'An Older Gay Guy Show' YouTube Channel that shows my first (and maybe last?) experience with Waxing My Nose Hair! The video also contains a workout segment and a talk about my frustrations of an aging body. (for Feet Lovers, the last segment has me barefoot with my feet closest to the camera!)

I have lived a very interesting life as an out and proud Gay Personal Trainer. Along my 33 years (and counting) career I have encountered just about every possible kind of person and situation. In this first part of a two part series, I talk about how I started out and became a Personal Trainer that was known to be gay. I have worked at many gyms and fitness clubs over the years and my choices of my lifestyle created the life I truly wanted.

In part two (next week) I will talk about when I built my own gym downstairs in my house to train clients and started going to people's houses for training sessions. Working exclusively on my own created some very humorous and erotic situations. After listening to this first part, make SURE you DON'T MISS part two, it will make you laugh and shock you with some of the intentions of my clients. (all names changed to protect the innocent.....and guilty!)

WARNING: If you are SENSITIVE regarding the topic of DEATH, or have had a particular trauma with the death of a loved one, PLEASE SKIP THIS EPISODE. Humor regarding death is within this show. But if you are curious about the Universe and are not bothered by discussing death in detail, please enjoy this trippy, intense, thought-provoking episode about the unknown. This is THE MOST BIZARRE episode I have ever done. Strap yourself down, get a glass of your favorite imbibement and go on this ethereal journey with me. It will be one that will make you laugh and send chills down your spine. Come on board!

Two unbelievable things happened to me this week, and unfortunately, they ending up being related. Sit back and listen to a couple of stories that have taught me a most important lesson in life. Learn from my mistakes, please!

Tired of endless dating and not finding the right one? Or, tired of not even getting any dates to see if they are the right one? I give you my part of my perspective on gay dating and finish with an important exercise that will give you insight into the potential reasons why you find it impossible to date a decent guy. I hope it gives you some things to think about!

I recently re-connected with my friend from high school, Bob. I reminisce about our teenage years and my 'seduction room'.

A bit controversial, I discuss the various labels used in the gay community and consider whether some are welcome and good, or are all of them restrictive and insulting? Let's think about it. 

I have the most embarrassing phobia that seems to attack me whenever the Universe is looking for a laugh. I hope you enjoy my story about my strange paranoia.

I end Season 2 with a silly, hopefully fun, kinda stupid tale of a conversation between friends.

Enjoy the remainder of your Summer, see you all in 3 weeks for the start of Season 3. PLEASE, SUBSCRIBE !!

Not sure if this was a good idea, but I purposely messed myself up a bit so I could have some fun. This won't be a regular thing, fear not. But I hope you get a laugh, or a nice memory from it. A more serious look at Our Identity will be on the YouTube Channel for this podcast. The Channel name is An Older Gay Guy Show.

My first 'buzzed' episode, as my husband Paco and I celebrated the first day of Summer out on our deck with some wine. LOL

In this episode, Part-Two of a Three-Part Series, I discuss an article about the most common relationship mistakes that gay guys make. These factors might be some of the reasons for break-ups that we have all experienced. I also request YOUR input for Part-Three of the Series that will be coming later in the Summer.

It is that wonderful time of year when I get ready to roll out important and very entertaining episodes for what I refer to as my Annual Sweeps Period. I have some great shows planned for this year's celebration and all I ask is for you to take five minutes and go and vote for An Older Gay Guy Show podcast for the 2024 People's Choice Podcast Awards.

Part One of a 3-part series about Gay Relationships and Break-Ups. In this first episode, I begin to tell you about my personal relationship experiences and then discuss an article called 'Gay and Can't Find a Partner?' that lists reasons why gay relationships might be doomed from the outset.

Part Two will conclude my personal story and will discuss an article called 'Top 7 Common Relationship Mistakes Gay Men Make'.

And in the newly planned Part Three, will be a discussion about listener's stories about break-ups and we will try to figure out how we move forward in our relationships in a healthy, satisfying way. (future episode- no date set)

An Interview Show featuring one of my closest friends who has had an extraordinary life. Kris shares interesting details of his early days as he prepared for his transition into a woman. He tells of surprising circumstances that led to a life-long quest for acceptance and to find his place in the LGBTQ community. It's a fascinating listen, and I hope you enjoy this first interview episode of An Older Gay Guy Show.

A discussion about the importance of screening for colorectal cancer. If you are approaching age 50, it is imperative you have this important procedure. I had been petrified beyond belief about having a colonoscopy due to a previous test I had done more than 20 years ago. I discuss the early procedure as well as my personal experience with having a colonoscopy. I take you step-by-step through what happened, and I think if you have fear of this test (like so many do), please, please listen to this episode. It literally could save your life. Thank you!
