In celebration of this show's 9th season kicking off, I bring you a new series that I will do periodically throughout the year. Reddit Stories, will be actual messages posted on a public forum about various subjects of interest. In this first episode, I offer 4 stories from Reddit readers, about gang showers; in school, at work, and in gym facilities. In future Reddit Stories episodes, I will comment on each one. I did not in this due to difficulty in talking.

 Sorry.....

Every year at this time I like to look back on the concluding year and determine what I did, or what happened, to advance me towards the goals I have in life. I dissect what I feel was important to the advancement of my goals, as well as what specifically did NOT work or what needs to change. With that decided, I then plan out some goals for 2024.This is the concluding episode of Season 8 of An Older Gay Guy Show. 

In this penultimate episode of Season 8, I have used AI to create an original, emotional telling of 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.With some voice acting and sound effects, I read you this famous story, my favorite of all-time. Please listen while relaxing in the days leading up to Christmas. Listen on a quiet night, perhaps with a roaring fire or sitting beneath the lights of your Christmas tree. This story says something to all, not just those of a 'Christian faith', but to all of mankind that strive to be better and make amends to those who we perceive have done us wrong. A Merry Christmas to all......

In this episode, I offer some of my piano arrangements for your use in any gathering where you might want some background music. A bit about my style of arrangements: I very much like dissonant sounds. Dissonance refers to a lack of harmony. Dissonant music sometimes makes people feel a bit uneasy. Because of this feeling, dissonant music is often used to create tension in films. In the last 10 years or so, I have used dissonance in many of my arrangements because of the unique sound. Not everyone will be a fan of this music, but it is what I am currently working on and I thought I would share it.This album contains:The Christmas Song - pianoDo You Hear What I Hear - pianoAll Alone Am I - pianoI'll Be Home For Christmas - pianoTheme from Knots Landing TV Show - piano, strings and percussionSilent Night - pianoEmpty Chairs At Empty Tables (from Les Miserables) - pianoTheme from Seattle TV Show - piano and stringsFrosty The Snowman - pianoI hope you enjoy the album. Happy Holidays !~Joey

In this serious episode I tell you two stories from my past that are extremely personal. I would not normally be this open, but I know of people who will be alone these holidays and I worry. Thankfully the thoughts I had during this time are far behind me, but I've never forgotten the things I learned during these very difficult days. I hope this helps someone.

In this episode, I give you an update of what happened at The Podcast Awards and talk about some upcoming future plans as always mentioned on An Older Gay Guy Show's Facebook Page.An Older Gay Guy Show Facebook PageAdditionally, I want to introduce you to one of my guilty pleasures, as well as discuss my current tv crush. 'Shameless' YouTube Clip #1'Shameless' YouTube Clip #2Please note: An Older Gay Guy Show is going on a brief hiatus to plan and record a 'stash' of shows that will allow the episodes to come out every Thursday, on schedule.  I will return with the first of the new shows on December 7th.

This is the final episode of my 2023 Sweeps Period and it is a STORYTIME that served as a working model for my book 'Northridge High Football Camp'. I wrote this story in 1992 and I copyrighted it in 1994. If you are a fan of the Jockstrap Stories podcast, you may recognize many of the characteristics of the main protagonist in this story that ended up being part of the character development of Vinnie Manta, the main protagonist in 'Northridge High Football Camp'. I also used some of the description when I created the character of Tony Marino. This story was part of a planned series called Campfire Stories. I will probably continue with that series in the future.Don't miss the FINAL LIVE Pride48 Streaming Weekend. This is it!

As we move towards the conclusion of Sweeps Period 2023, I offer up a double-STORYTIME episode. The title of this show is 'Nutball' and it tells two tales of youthful pastimes that often included drinking and toking. I describe two different ways that I played a torturous game for fun. The first story is titled 'Can You Sink the Ball or Sink My Balls?'The second tale is titled 'Thwapping My Nuts'I hope you enjoy these STORYTIMES.

2023 Sweeps continues with a re-edited episode about Jock Feet. I speak about my attraction to certain feet and also what isn't attractive and is too severe for my taste. A quite funny STORYTIME about an experience I had in Montreal about 20 years ago starts at 34:45. If you want to skip right to the story, feel free, but I really think the entire episode should be heard in order to fully understand how and where all of this feet stuff began.I hope you enjoy this episode !  And, thanks for listening. ~Joey

As we continue with Sweeps Period 2023, this STORYTIME episode is a re-edited show from a few years ago, about a hike that my dog and I went on to a local swimming hole in Western Massachusetts. We were quite surprised at what we found. This show has erotic content, so please be forewarned. 

In today’s episode, I bring back a re-edited show from the early years of An Older Gay Guy Show and I talk about how bodybuilders prepare for contests and my role as their prep guide. Along the way I will discuss the intense body shaving aspect of their contest preparation and the rigors of learning to flex properly. Towards the end of this episode I tell you a STORYTIME about two college-age guys that were flexing in the locker room of my gym when they thought no one else was around. I hope you enjoy this episode, which will be followed up with a Guys Flexing Part 2 as the final episode of this year’s Sweeps Period. In Part 2 of this series I will tell two more STORYTIMES about unusual things that happened when guys that wanted to do body prep had their body shaving end up going in an unexpected way. This is a funny and erotic episode that I will conclude the 2023 Sweeps Period with, and that will be on Monday, September 11th.VOTING CLOSES MONDAY NIGHT, JULY 31st !!!!If you enjoy 'An Older Gay Guy Show' podcast and would like to show your support, I ask you to take five minutes to vote for me in the 2023 People's Choice Podcast Awards.

Welcome to Sweeps Period 2023 !  In this first episode, I give you one of my favorite stories that took place when I was 16 years old. I found the memories of what happened in this story to be something that gave me fantasies for many years. Two college jocks lived in an apartment directly across from my boyfriend's apartment, and one particular night I wanted to entertain myself with a devious plot that only a horny 16 year-old could come up with. If you enjoy 'An Older Gay Guy Show' podcast and would like to show your support, I ask you to take five minutes to vote for me in the 2023 People's Choice Podcast Awards.

Welcome! Today I have a STORYTIME episode with 3 true-life short stories about my time at The Boston Conservatory of Music.  These take place in the 1970's, and as you shall see, it was a VERY different time in the world. I think you will find these tales funny and a bit shocking! The 3 stories are titled:1.   The Asshole Conductor2.   The Dance Belt Adjustment3.   The Orgy Ring-LeaderThere is also a 4th STORYTIME about my second year at The Conservatory when I was a Musical Theater major. You will find this story almost unbelievable, and what happened would not only never be allowed today, but it would result in numerous lawsuits, and probably an indictment to the teacher.The link to An Older Gay Guy Show on YouTube can be found below.Link:  The Drama Teacher's Underwear

Here is a funny short story using a 1950's cautionary tale format. If you are of my generation, I think you will find this quite amusing. If you are younger, I think you will still get many of the references.As there are also visual innuendos, I am posting the link to the video.Fudge Packer videoAlso links to the 2 new videos on An Older Gay Guy Show's YouTube channel.7 Things I've Learned In My 65 YearsandJudgement video

A double episode of two short stories. The first is a funny experience I had just a few days ago while walking to the store, and the second part is a fascinating story about a real-life castle that was near my house when I was growing up. This residence was literally a full castle, with turrets, parapets and towers and as construction of the main castle was completed, the owner dug a moat, with plans to fill it with water and connect the working drawbridge. It was amazing, and I put some photos of the castle on 'An Older Gay Guy Show Facebook Page'.Here is the link:  An Older Gay Guy Show Facebook Page

I am about to turn 65 years of age in just a few days. A Senior Citizen! Who would have thought? In the last 5-10 years I have found myself getting increasing fear about many things in every day life.Is Social Media to blame? Or are my fears possibly irrational and don't actually pose a threat to me? See if you possibly have some of the same fears (I'll bet you have different ones). The next episode, coming out next week, will be 'Sleeping Bareassed - Part Two'.

This episode is the first in a two-part series about sleeping naked.  In this show I tell you two STORYTIMES about how I came to be someone that sleeps bareassed most of the time. At the conclusion, I go over 5 reasons why sleeping naked can be a healthier option.In part-two, next time, I will tell another STORYTIME about an eventful weekend I had up on Square Pond in Shapleigh, Maine in 1971. I hope you enjoy the shows!  ~Joey

In this episode, I bring some nutrition and health info to you that is very important for those of us over the age of 40.

In this episode, which is the 2nd of 2 'sex' episodes, I discuss 3 sexual topics and I include 2 STORYTIMES that I think you will find funny and a bit shocking.I mention in this show that I am planning a full separate episode about Masturbation for release on Memorial Day Weekend. Between now and then, I'd love some listener stories about Masturbation. They might be about interesting masturbation techniques that you have discovered, or funny stories or even masturbation fails, such as being interrupted, or spied upon or other disasters.I will not use your name or location. You can submit as many stories as you would like. Please send them to AnOlderGayGuyShow@gmail.com. The deadline is May 13th.I hope you enjoy today's episode!

 I am about to turn 65. Gone are the early days of my gay life and the methods that I used to find and meet potential dates or hook-ups. Almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century, new methods and dating philosophies have emerged. Guys my age are sometimes asking themselves if they should follow or still remain with past methods. 

The story of my attempt to become a star in Hollywood. (spoiler alert: I'm NOT a star! LOL) I hope you find this story amusing and interesting. At the conclusion of the show, I offer you a surprise. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Here is a very short episode featuring my piano arrangement of 'Silent Night'. Enjoy the rest of your Holiday.

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all doing well. In today's episode, I bring you a newly re-edited story from my old shows.  This is a story about a very fun and unusual New Year's Eve that I had when I was 29 years old. It is a tale of five of us guys that went up to a Winter chalet for partying and sports (mostly partying).  I used one small part of this true-life story in my gay erotic sports novel 'Northridge High Football Camp' that I did as an audiobook on the Jockstrap Stories podcast.Please note: I will be alone at home this Christmas and I am trying to set up something as an online social on Christmas Day itself, for anyone who might be alone and wanting some company. I will let you know more details as they firm up. 

In this conclusion to my 'I See Dead People' series, I answer questions that have been submitted to me from listeners.  Additionally, I tell a STORYTIME story about the most difficult, gross, and heart-breaking thing I ever had to do in the funeral business. I give a warning prior to starting this story, as it is not for the faint-of-heart. 

This will be a shorter episode and it is for your entertainment. I hope. This is going to be a few pieces of music that I have been working on writing the arrangements and I have recorded these songs from various groups.The first is a rendition of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, and this is my own arrangement performed by a choir.The second is an arrangement for the harp, played by me, and it is When You Wish Upon A Star from Disney.The third is a rendition of Scat Singing, a jazz method and this is a well-known tv theme song that I’m sure you will recognize. This is done by a small group.The 4th is a new arrangement I am working on of When I Was Seventeen, played by me on my baby grand piano.And the last piece is a version of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, from Les Mis, performed by me again, on my baby grand. Please listen to the end of this show, as it is quite important.So please, relax, have a glass wine or other beverage of your choice, and I hope you enjoy it. 

A discussion about the history of Body Image.  From the 1970's through today, Body Image has been something that male and female, gay and straight have often dealt with through bombardment from TV, Films, Magazines, Porn and other media. I also address my own personal struggles with this. 

Today I had the most interesting experience in the gym's sauna. I ask you to give me your opinion if I was in fact being hit on by this ADONIS. It's quite an erotic story, and if you like my gay erotic stories, you will love this.Please send me your opinion answer to the question I ask towards the end of the episode. Send to:AnOlderGayGuyShow@gmail.com

This episode is def rated R.  I tell a story about my time on Cape Cod as a Funeral Director and Embalmer when I was hanging out with the young 'townies'. We had a special pond.

2022 Sweeps Period continues with an episode about sleep...or lack thereof. Most Americans do not get enough sleep and it is affecting health, both physical and mental. In reference to a magazine article I read a few years ago, I used the suggestions I mention in this episode as a way to successfully change my sleep habits by 80%. I hope you enjoy the information in this show. Thank you for joining me. The 2022 Sweeps Period has several episodes to go, so it will run into early October.

In this show, I want to continue the 'Your Personal Trainer' series with an episode about overeating and specifically, when we eat because of emotions; whether that is depression, celebration, or even boredom.Please note: If you feel you overeat regularly, it will eventually begin to affect your overall health. So please, consult a professional that deals with overeating and binging. Coming up next in the 'Your Personal Trainer' series will be 'Sauna for Longevity'. Look for that episode in late October.

A theme I have done before, but it deserves more attention. With many believing there exists a fracture in the Gay Community due to lack of physical socializing because so many bars and clubs have closed, it becomes more important that we watch out for each other. That includes the prevailing gay-to-gay bullying that has only increased with the advent of the internet. Let's pause for a few minutes to understand how this type of behavior is more prominent when we are with our friends and within our own  cliques. Can we stop behaviors that prey on weaker people within the community when we might think we are being funny and clever?

This is from the very first episode of An Older Gay Guy Show. I tell the story of my solo trip as an 11-year old to Salem, Massachusetts to visit what I had seen on Bewitched.

Starting out my 2022 Sweeps Period, this is a re-edited episode that is my absolute favorite from An Older Gay Guy Show. This took place in the early 1980's while I was working as a Funeral Director & Embalmer on Cape Cod. It is the most memorable and unique experience that I ever had in the Funeral industry. It is a story that I shall never forget, and I hope you get a laugh and that it touches your heart, as it did mine. Thank you to all my wonderful listeners for once again making me a Finalist in this year's People Choice Podcast Awards ! Hugs to all of you. ~Joey

Continuing Sweeps Period, today I have a fun-filled episode about a subculture of the gay community that I have not discussed on the show before: Drag performers. And in this special episode my guest takes the discussion to new heights, by introducing his creation; Maxxie La Wow, the World's first Drag Super-Shero.This is a funny and educational episode about a topic that I freely admit to know nothing about. The following are the links to the IndieGoGo Fundraising Page, the Adventure Reel that will give you a first look at Maxxie La Wow and also Anthony's social media. The Indiegogo link:Direct link:  https://igg.me/at/maxxieMy shortcut:  www.maxxie.com/donateThe Adventure Reel:Direct link:  https://youtu.be/sR3fjJgtFsQMy shortcut:  www.maxxie.com/adventureSocial Media:Web Site: www.maxxie.comInstagram:  www.instagram.com/maxxielawowFacebook:  www.facebook.com/maxxielawow

Sweeps Period has begun! In this first episode, I have an awesome interview with a very busy Hollywood actor/writer/producer/director/editor. His name is Artie O'Daly and there is a good chance he has guest appeared on a tv show that you have seen. In this first of a two-part interview, Artie and I talk about his connection to Gilmore Girls (one of my all-time favorite shows) and he tells stories of his appearance on that show and how it came about that one of the Gilmore Girls stars appeared on Artie's hit TV series 'Bad Boy' (currently on YouTube). He is a fascinating guy and I know you will enjoy this two-part interview.Next up in Sweeps Period will be the second part of my 'Your Personal Trainer' series. We will talk more about food and also some basic exercises to get started with at home. Following that, will be another series of episodes with Sgt. Ron where he tells us more stories of his days as a gay man in the military.Sweeps Period is going to have some great shows. Subscribe so you don't miss an episode when it comes out.

After a short-hiatus, I return with an episode about making some much needed changes.

This episode is the final installment of my 'Life-Enhancing Habits' series. This episode covers the remaining 7 suggestions to help you live a longer and more vibrant life. Don't miss my BIG announcement coming in a short message episode on Tuesday, June 1st !

As we slowly start putting society back together as we all get vaccinated for Covid-19, the Senior Gay Community is something we all need to think about and work at sustaining.  Many older gay men have been isolated during these past 13 months and are now rightfully feeling hesitant about re-joining social situations where crowds might soon be gathering. How will our older LGBTQ brothers and sisters still get together for much needed friendships and reunions, and what will be the lasting community be like?

We all are getting older, and maybe we are becoming our parents in our thoughts and habits. Are we as Gay Seniors just tired of the world of younger people? Are we starting to say the very things our parents would say that we swore we would never become? Are we starting to border on being that grouchy, bitter old man?

Today I am starting a new series that I'm calling Your Personal Trainer.  I often hear from guys that have basic workout and nutrition questions. I know hiring a Personal Trainer can be an expensive proposition, especially with the fees that will probably have to be charged by Trainers to compensate for all the lost work and income due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. So, with that in mind, I thought running this series can be beneficial to those that wish they could have a Personal Trainer to give them basic information and to do what Trainers do best; Motivate and Encourage you, as you go along. Obviously without having the option to work with you in person, it will limit how some of this training will have to be. But, I have faith that the information and me kicking your ass a bit will help you at least get started eating healthier and getting you to move! I will give you some basic at home exercises to do down the road a bit, and there will also be more advanced exercises that will have to be done in a gym, for those of you desiring these programs.So, no matter your experience, from absolute beginners (my favorite guys!) to the more advanced training, there will be something for everyone. I truly hope you enjoy these episodes and that you will participate so we all can get these Pandemic Pounds off so we can enjoy a beautiful, active Summer. My best to all of you!  ~Joey

My former client Matt Mercurio returns for the conclusion of his 2-Part Series. In this episode we talk a lot about the music of the 1970's-2000's and our love of gay club dancing. Some of the topics we discuss are: K-Tel Compilation Records, Napster, Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Countdown, Vinyl, Cassettes, CD's, MP3s, Taping Songs Off the Radio, Matt's Famous Chart Keeping since 1983, Apple Music, Flag Waving on the Dance Floor and much more!

This is part 1 of a 2-part series on 10 Habits that can help give you a heathy life as you age. In this first part, I give an overview, some necessary disclaimers and talk in depth about the first 3 Habits. The remaining 7 will be discussed in the final installment of this series, coming in a couple of weeks.The main content of this episode is from a draft that I had back from the first year of this show. It was never used. Due to it being done 6 years ago, the audio is not the best as I was working with my first microphone and studio set-up. I currently use my 3rd set-up for recording new episodes so there are big differences.      Thank you for listening !

In this Interview episode, I am joined by Actor/Writer/Producer Gian Carlo Durland, Independent Filmmaker. Gian Carlo currently has two film projects of interest to the older LGBTQ+ community. Please enjoy this lively discussion about his excellent film Ripples of Water, the difficulties of being over 40 in the gay community and Clutter Luck, his YouTube episodic 'Roadshow' parody.Here are Gian Carlo's links:https://ripplesofwater.com/Ripples of Water is currently available on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes and Apple TVClutter Luck  YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKB4YzA2Vt1D_-5peGuJqbwhttps://www.giancarlodurland.com/

This is Part 1 of a fun conversation that I had with Matt Mercurio, an ex-client and best friend of mine from 25 years ago. Matt was one of the first clients that I had when I moved my training business into Boston gay gyms.Matt discusses how we met and what it was like having me as his Personal Trainer. We are completely honest in this episode, and maybe I revealed more than I should have. But, I try to be as honest as possible with you guys, and this is an example of that !

This is an episode about Procrastination and Lack of Motivation. Often these things can be directly tied to lack of physical or mental energy to take on the task. How can we stay energetic? Well, Energy Builds Energy.

Sometimes when we get older, especially if we are single and alone, we ruminate on past embarrassing situations or errors that we have made. I wanted to explain my philosophy on how I look at past problems. I talk about how I grew up with a dying mother and how that shaped my life over all these years. I hope this might be some use to you. 

In the conclusion of our 5-Part Series on Sgt. Ron's Gay Military Life Stories, he concludes with some intriguing tales of how far the U.S. Military used to go to 'weed out' any suspected (gasp!) HOMOSEXUALS !  He also tells us stories about Turkish Baths (saunas) and his encounters with other foreign soldiers.If you have not had a chance to hear them, be sure to check-out his 3-Part Gay Prison Guard Series in Season 4.There are still 2 more episodes coming out in the next 6 days to finish up this Season 5.

In Part 4 of our 5-Part Series, Sgt. Ron continues his amazing story-telling and discusses his time in Turkey. This is a funny and fascinating tale, giving us insight into what it was like as a gay man in the Military in the 1980's and 1990's. 

In Part 3 of a 5-Part Series, Sgt. Ron continues to tell us his tales of gay life in the United States Air Force.  In this episode, Sgt. Ron tells us of his life during his assignments in The Netherlands and Turkey.

LGBTQ author Ste7en (yes, the 7 is on purpose) joins me to discuss his brand-new memoir The Last Alias, a book discussing his very successful career as an Anime director, writer and producer. We talk about his cult-hit Ghost Stories and how that influenced his life. The Last Alias also dives into his previous 'straight' life and his discovery of multiple aspects of his personality that allowed Ste7en to live as his authentic self.

This is a somewhat humorous look at the aging process and ways that we can mitigate the craziness that we go through.

 In part 2 of this five-part series, Sgt. Ron tells us about his first experiences in gay life, and the interesting men that he met in his early days as a gay man.

 For today's episode, I have re-edited some recording that I did 4 years ago about how to focus your own search for Happiness. I hope you enjoy it.

One of the dangers of getting old is the possibility of losing friends and family and isolating yourself in desperation to try to avoid pain. This can deprive you of some wonderful years of your life. Others find the endless search for a life partner to be depressing and debilitating. It seems that no matter what you do, you find yourself alone. And being alone for any length of time, no matter who you are, will eventually lead to loneliness. Loneliness can be crippling.In this episode, I offer a few suggestions that might help you get started in breaking free from that solitude.

So once you have secured that first date with someone, does it often not go as planned? Did you like the guy but then you didn't receive a call/text for a second date?  Did you do something wrong? This episode talks about 5 important Rules that will help you make sure that he will want that second date with you !

In Part 2 of my 'I See Dead People' series, I thought it would be a good idea to tell you about what exactly happens when a body is embalmed.  As we age, we will encounter the need to make arrangements for funerals, as well as visit them as a friend or relative.  Should it fall on you to make the funeral arrangements, do you know what a loved one would really like for their final disposition? If you have no guidance by written wishes, you will need to make decisions that are difficult within a set amount of time to get all the arrangements in place. Embalm or Cremation? What does each really mean?I hope that this explanation will allow you to make a more informed decision. This episode is very graphic and deals with procedures done to the body.

Continuing Sweeps Period, this episode is Part-One of a Five-Part Series from Sgt. Ron, who we previously heard on the popular Gay Prison Guard Series. Here Ron takes us back to his Military experiences and tells tales about his life in a very personal way.  Of course we are intrigued and curious about gay life as an airman, and over the course of this Series, his stories will give the answers.

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).

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. ** If you like and enjoy An Older Gay Guy Show, I respectfully ask you to go to PodcastAwards.com and vote for this show in the People's Choice, the Society-Culture and the LGBTQ podcast categories.

I have a recorded version of my LIVE Valentine's Day Night Show, and I'm chopping it up to use for various upcoming episodes. In this episode: I tell you the story of my Worst Date EVER in 1981 on Valentine's Day itself.  This was when I was working as a Funeral Director and Embalmer, and that back-drop makes for a story that you won't soon forget! 'An Older Gay Guy Show' on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6aAcpBNXH5nZju92Tml91A

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.

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

My infamous annual episode about how to survive, and thrive, during Thanksgiving and the approaching Holiday Season. (This is from my 'Beginner Diet and Fitness Show' Podcast) I hope you enjoy ! Happy Thanksgiving! My best, - Joey

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.

A listener has shared his story with me and allowed me to share it with you. I also reference an article called, 'Open Relationships or Monogamy: How Gay Couples Can Decide What's Right For Them'.

The final episode about my interesting life as a gay Personal Trainer. In Part 1, I talked about how I became a Trainer and my experiences training in the various Boston gyms. In this episode I tell you about building my own gym in the basement of my house and what is is like to train gay guys in this private setting and I tell you about 3 guys who turned into more than training clients. This is the juicy stuff.

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. 

Senior LGBT folks are often alone and scared. I discuss an upcoming personal visit I will be doing and talk about what we can all do to help those of us in need. We are all going to be there, sooner rather than later, and if we join together as an older gay community, we can take care of and visit our LGBT brothers and sisters to make sure no one is left to feel alone and abandoned. Please give this episode a listen, it can change not only the life of someone else, but it can change your own in so many wonderful ways!  Thank you.

Are you unhappy in life? Have you had problems meeting the right partner? Are you somewhat depressed and feel hopeless at times? I have been there. In this episode I discuss the philosophy that I have adopted that has turned my life around. This is not an answer for everyone. If you are constantly depressed or suicidal, please call an anonymous hotline right away. But for the majority of people who just go through life and basically feel down and alone, I relate how I changed my life for the better. Please, at least give it a listen. Hugs to you, Joey

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.

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 Neuropathy, a common problem that develops with Diabetes, Advanced HIV, Lyme Disease, Shingles and many other ailments. While there is no cure, we look at current treatments for pain relief and management of the condition. Anyone over the age of 40 should listen to this episode, as it is becoming more prevalent due to excessive body weight in more and more adults.

As we age, it is not uncommon to have growing fear and anxiety about the future. In many cases, these emotions are not only related to health and finances but also to a sense of losing your connection to the LGBTQ+ community. In this episode, I tell you a bit more of my own history of fear and anxiety, and we look at an article that gives us '5 Ways to Overcome Fear and Anxiety'.

An important message about the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, as well as all the religious celebrations around the world, inclusive of ALL religions. You are all important in this world.

Today I'm going to tell you one of the most unusual things that happened while I worked as a Funeral Director/Embalmer. I think you'll find this story entertaining and interesting. At the time, I couldn't believe it actually happened! Please join me for a unique mystery.

Have you ever felt that you are less attractive, less muscular than others? Have you felt that at your age all your chances at happiness have evaporated? I talk candidly about outward appearance and why sometimes the grass is actually greener on YOUR side of the fence.

As we age, we all have concern about who will care for us when we are old. This is a discussion about some of the unknown details that might shock you, and I quote some articles that may offer some assistance in this very important factor as we move into our Senior years.

Age is just a number, right? So maybe there are some dreams that we used to have when we were 'younger' that we kind of pushed back for someday in the future, or maybe we just gave up on those dreams altogether. But do we have to? We aren't dead (or at least in most cases, LOL), so......can we still make those dreams come true? I'm telling you about one of mine, how I'm going to do it, and I ask YOU to conjure up those forgotten dreams of your own. Maybe it isn't too late for any of us!

Us gays LOVE our pets! In this episode I tell you a tale of what I consider to be the best thing I have done in my life. I hope it inspires you, I hope it calls you to action, and I hope it prompts you to give your pet family an extra hug tonight!

My history with Gay Pride Parades started with the 3rd Pride Parade that Boston ever had, back in 1973. This year is my return to those celebrations and I wanted to tell my story of why I haven't been to a Pride event in many years, and the strange introduction I had to gay life all those years ago.

Have you ever wanted to join a Gym or Health Club but feel a bit intimidated, and since you are a beginner, you don't know what to even look for in a facility? Is it right for you? Will you feel out-of-place in that environment? In this episode, I explain the inner workings of a health club and give you advice on what to ask, what to look for, and what to avoid. I go into great detail to explain what to expect. This is important information for both Men AND Women and I guide you through the process so that you will feel more confident and comfortable in your search for a gym that meets your specific needs and is right for YOU.

I share a story that I didn't think I would ever talk tell on a podcast. But having just had a birthday, I decided that I needed to tell this tale, and explain why I feel like a free man now. This is not the typical episode of this show. But if you are a person who has struggled with the past, running a movie-like memory over and over again in your mind, this story might be of value to you. This is a VERY personal account (all names have been changed) of a difficult time in my life, when as a teenager, my parents died. I talk about the one person in my life, that I might describe as someone that I 'Hated' for 43 years.

Gay Bars are closing all over the country. Why? Is it the Internet? Drug use? Our older gay community is losing its structure. Let's discuss what Gay Bars and Gay Dance Clubs used to be, and what is happening now.

Diastasis Recti and Body Fat. Learn about a common condition that most people do not know about, and how to evaluate the potential risk of excessive body fat. This is a good episode for both men and women to hear. A more serious episode, this will be the first in a series on Gay Health, that will have additional episodes periodically. More of these types of issues are discussed on my other Podcast: Life After 30 Podcast, available on iTunes and other Podcast Applications.
