Episode 127 – Badger Trail Races 2021 “Event” in Preview
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!

Episode 125 – On Location with Rob and Heather!
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!

Episode 124 – Better Late Than Never?
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!

Episode 123 – Oh Look, Podcast Equipment
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.

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!

Episode 120 – 2020 Year in Review & 2021 One Words
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.

Episode 118 – Catching Up with Rob
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!
