An Insider's Look Into The Large Weight Loss Companies

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 !

Dating During the Holidays

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).

Officer Ron - Gay Prison Guard - Part 3

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.

INTERVIEW - Officer Ron, Gay Prison Guard - Part 2

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.

I See Dead People - Part 1

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.

INTERVIEW - Officer Ron, Gay Prison Guard - Part 1

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.

Can't I Just Be Happy, Is That So Much To Ask ?!

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.

Vacationing Alone

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.

Being The Third Wheel

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)

Why Are Young Gay Guys Such Dickwads ?

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
