Overcoming Social Anxiety

Well my friends, today I start my 10th Season of An Older Gay Guy Show! I have all kinds of plans for this season, highlighted as always by my Sweeps Period which will be for the month of August (after voting for the Podcast Awards during July).

Today I start with an easy-breezy episode, which includes an edited part from one of my 'disappeared' episodes from a few years ago. This is actually what I consider a Part 2 of a video I did on An Older Gay Guy Show's YouTube channel that is titled 'Getting Over My Social Anxiety'. This podcast episode is a stand-alone show. It is not necessary to see the video prior to listening to this episode.

I hope you enjoy it. I tried to have some humor in the content, but there is a serious message underlying it.

STORYTIME - The Outdoor Cruising Mistake

This is a jam-packed episode! 

1.  I was INVESTIGATED ! ,

2.  An sexual email from a listener,

3. STORYTIME - My, (ahem) 'friend', had an amusing adventure while cruising for men on a brightly 

 moonlit Summer night.

What's Wrong With Being Single ??

Being single gets a bad rap. Over the many years that I could only manage relationships that were at the most, eight months in duration, I learned a number of lessons on how to not only accept being single, but to actually enjoy being single and in my own company. These are some of the things that I learned along the way.

How Long Is Thanksgiving Day ??

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.

My First Fan Event

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.

Discovering I Was Gay, Reminiscing About the 1960's & 1970's

A show reminiscing about my early life in the 1960's and 1970's and various things and situations that helped me discover who I was. If you grew up in the 1970's, many of these things will be familiar to you.

INTERVIEW - James Taylor, Jr. - LGBTQ+ Musician - Boy In A Dress

I hope you will enjoy this conversation.

Additionally, Renato speaks about his interesting childhood bouncing between countries, his previous books, his bakeries, as well as his new pasta restaurant, which opens in just a month from now.

A joyous celebration of Italian, American and Italian-American tastes and traditions, Dolci! is a compendium of molto delizioso baked goods from both sides of the Atlantic.

I hope you enjoy this unique episode.

INTERVIEW - Michael Andor Brodeur - Swole: The Making of Men and the Meaning of Muscle

As we continue with Sweeps Period 2024, I have a fascinating conversation with Michael Andor Brodeur, to discuss his new book Swole: The Making of Men and the Meaning of Muscle. Unbeknownst to me, Michael and I must have literally been circling around each other in Boston in the 1990's. We went to some of the same gyms, we went to the same nightclubs, we had common friends. And yet we did not know each other existed until this Interview. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as we reminisced about our childhoods and the vibrant gay life of Boston during that decade. Michael also traces our toys, cartoons and comics that started many of us young men thinking about guys with muscle. And we talk about the early days of Bodybuilding and how that shaped our lives. I think you will enjoy this topic.

INTERVIEW - Ronald Hunter - Angel Finally Found His Wings

As Sweeps continues, today I have a story that is both heart-breaking and heartwarming. This is a story of survival and hope. Angel Finally Found His Wings is a book you will never forget. It was valorous of Ron to tell his story, and as he mentions, it took over a decade to put the words together to properly tell the terrifying circumstances that befell him. Please listen as he tells us about his journey and the book that has become the end result.

INTERVIEW - Brett Edward Stout - Sugar-Baby Bridge

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.

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.

You Personal Trainer 4 - Summer Celebrations

Summer is a wonderful season. Family gatherings, vacations, graduation parties, 4th of July....so many!  I know you have worked hard this past year in losing weight and you have looked forward (maybe with a bit of hesitation) to the sunny, warm weather that will allow you to finally take off your shirt.

But sometimes navigating these parties, can be difficult. You desire to be proud of what you have accomplished and yet there is a growing desire to partake of the delightful food.

I have a few suggestions. Thank you for coming by my show today!

INTERVIEW - Ryan Hunter - Dark Shadows - Part 3 - The 1991 Revival Series

Today we conclude our special 3-part series of all things Dark Shadows!  In this episode we discuss the much-improved, with higher production values, and a new younger cast; reboot of Dark Shadows with the 1991 Revival Series. This series only lasted one season, but during its run, it was able to condense the Barnabas origin story, including Victoria Winter's trip to 1795, into 12 cohesive and beautifully told episodes. 

If you want to start getting to know Dark Shadows, start with this 12 episode reboot. Then, if you like the story, then visit the Original Series, as discussed in the last two episodes of this podcast series. 

INTERVIEW - Ryan Hunter - Dark Shadows - Part 2 - The Original Series

Today I present Part 2 of our fun 3-part nostalgic discussion of Dark Shadows. In this episode we conclude our memories of the Original 1966-1971 series with a laugh-filled show that we both enjoyed doing so much! I truly hope you enjoy this fun ride.

Next Friday, in Part 3, we will talk about the amazing 1991 Revival Series of Dark Shadows.

STORYTIME - Naked Hiking - Part 2

Today we return to conclude the STORYTIME that I started a couple of weeks ago. After answering some questions that a listener had posed to me, we continue the Naked Hiking story right where we left off: the two Donovan brothers and I were merrily hiking through the woods of Vermont bareassed, heading for a private swimming hole with a waterfall that bordered the Solomon farm. 

I hope you enjoy the conclusion of this STORYTIME.

 

INTERVIEW - Ryan Hunter - Dark Shadows - Part 1 - The Original Series

I'm so excited to bring you this incredibly fun and funny 3-part series with Radical Ryan Hunter of the Radical Retro Rewind Podcast and YouTube channel.  In this series, we will cover all things Dark Shadows, from The Original Series to the 1991 re-boot and many, many more Dark Shadows memories will be discussed. I have waited literally years to be able to have this kind of discussion about my all-time favorite childhood show. Thank you for joining us!

In Part 1, we have an overview of the original series, and then Ryan and I get into our favorite 'likes' and 'dislikes' from that 5 year show. 

Parts 2 & 3 will be coming out on June 9th and June 16th, respectively.

STORYTIME - Naked Hiking - Part 1

This is a two-part STORYTIME about an adventurous Summer day that I spent with the Donovan brothers. These were two straight college jocks that had bright red hair and freckles. The brothers were in a previous episode I did called 'Don't Let Your Balls Touch Mine', and that episode is in my back catalogue. I hope you enjoy this two-part STORYTIME.

STORYTIME - Cruising for Men Around Provincetown

 I owe you a story. This is one that I had been saving for a rainy day, and here it is raining in Boston.

This STORYTIME takes place in 1993, when I was 35 years old. It remains one of my favorite experiences in Provincetown, the gay resort town on the very tip of Cape Cod here in Massachusetts.

I was convinced to do something dangerous that I would never do today. However, this was during my 'party phase' (a phase that lasted a good three decades!), and I threw caution to the wind (along with ALL MY CLOTHES), and had an unforgettable Summer night. 

I hope you enjoy this wonderful memory of days gone by.

Will We Know When To Stop ??

This episode is a serious topic that I think is very timely.  I specifically do not mention what the topic is (I call it a Mystery Topic) because I want the maximum number of guys that I can draw in to hear this important subject. I would appreciate you taking the time to hear this episode. Thank you! ~Joey

Are Firmer Erections Possible As We Age?

In this episode we will talk about a subject that is often not discussed, but rather many older men suffer with in silence.

The episode begins with 3 emails in our 'Listener Mail' segment. The last email you do not want to miss !

Erectile Disfunction as it relates to older guys being able to get somewhat hard, but maybe not as hard as in our youth, and possibly not hard enough for sexual performance, is discussed.

I speak about a Japanese study of men that cannot get fully erect, we review ED oral medications, and I then give my own experiences and what I think has benefitted me the most. We end with some additional facts that may help you make a decision about which method might be right for you. 

Reddit Stories - Gang Showers 1

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.

Suicide - A Cautionary Tale

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.

STORYTIME - Campfire Stories - 'After Football'

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! No more!

The weekend runs Friday evening, September 15th thru Sunday night, September 17th. An Older Gay Guy Show will be on Saturday the 16th 2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.

Erotic Stories, a Vintage TV Trivia Contest and more!  Please join us !!

STORYTIME - Nutball

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.

STORYTIME - Jock Feet

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

STORYTIME - Bubble Butts at the Swimming Hole

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. 

STORYTIME - Guys Flexing - 1

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.

STORYTIME - The College Jock

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.

STORYTIME - Crazy Sh*t at The Boston Conservatory of Music

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 Conductor

2.   The Dance Belt Adjustment

3.   The Orgy Ring-Leader

There 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.

STORYTIME - Balls Coming At My Face & A Castle in the Woods

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'.

FEAR, as we age

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'.

STORYTIME - Sleeping Bareassed - Part One

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.

I hope you enjoy the shows!  ~Joey

Metabolic Syndrome/ Pre-Diabetes

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. But, those of you under 40, listen up also, as this info can help you prepare for aging yourself.

This show contains a lot of information: A discussion about Metabolic Syndrome (Pre-Diabetes), 5 signs that indicate you might be moving toward this condition, how to evaluate your own body fat and an introduction to the Mediterranean Diet. 

I hope you enjoy the show. 

Manscaping, Dick Pumps & Sounding

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.

Gay Dating - Old School vs. Now

 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. 

STORYTIME - Don't P*ss On My Hollywood Star of Fame

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.

STORYTIME - Don't Let Your Balls Touch Mine

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. 

I See Dead People - Part 4 - Q&A and STORYTIME

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. 

Gay Health 7 - Body Image

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.

 

GYM STORIES 1 - Was I Being Hit on in the Sauna by an Adonis ??

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:

Gym Showers

This is a re-edited episode of my most popular show with new content added.  I hope you enjoy this conversation about Gym Showers and how they have changed over the years, as guys grew more modest.  

Don't miss the STORYTIME in the middle of this episode. It is one of my favorite stories and telling it brought back so many wonderful memories. Be sure to hear it !

The show concludes with my updated thoughts about locker rooms and showers.

Changes In Sleep Habits As We Age

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.

Your Personal Trainer - Part 3 - Emotional Eating

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.

Gay-to-Gay Bullying

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?

STORYTIME - Bewitched - The Salem Saga

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.

My Favorite Episode - STORYTIME - 'The Personification of Chin-Chin'

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

STORYTIME - The Itchy Drive-In

 This is a STORYTIME episode about an experience that I had in High School. I hope you find this story funny, as it is yet another example of the fact I don't always make wise decisions. 

Thank you to all that sent me messages about my Covid-19 and the loss of my beautiful cat, Pooh. I will respond to all. Please be patient.
