Episode 104 – Peanut Butter & Griping
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.
Now, get out there and #bebettertoday!

Episode 103 – Fasting, Cycling, Running and More with Amy
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.

Episode 102 – Apples and Updates
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!

Episode 101 – We Got Some Catchin’ Up To Do
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.

Episode 97 – Quaranmania II
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.

Episode 96 – The Quarantine Episode
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.

Episode 95 is a tough one. Pete and Gretchen are struggling with their weight. Worse, they are unsure what to do about it.
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!
