How The Magic Began...

Welcome to Don & Gary Doin' 60

We're here to unwrap and unpack navigating the world at......this age.

We have been friends for over 30 years (Don will deny being close to Gary's age but we can ALL the do math) There are memories we have as little kids in San Mateo, CA where Don's babysitter turns out to have been Gary's very own cousin. Later, we both ended up at the same high school, went our separate ways, then somehow, like gum on a shoe, we found each other all over again. We had no idea how or what was needed to create a podcast. So, of course we just hit the 'Record' button and figured it out. It wasn't until 'Don And Gary Doin' 60' did we feel that the world could actually bare the sight of us on YouTube.(This is not our first venture into podcasting. Go to'3 P's In A Podcast' and see how it all began.)

Join us as we continue our journey, bring in guests to share their stories, and basically, have the time of our lives!

Love,

D&G

About the Hosts

Don Pfeifer

Don was born in New York and was raised in SF Bay Area. He has lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and San Francisco (again). He finally landed in Redondo Beach, CA. He spends as much time as he can in Palm Springs with his 'Best Boys' Wire Fox Terriers, Boomer & Rocket (and his husband). He swears Gary is wrong about his age and he is only 47. (Obviously, math is not his strong suit)
The odyssey started with "3P's In A Podcast" where he partnered with Gary while co-hosting two other shows.
Dons’ passion for podcasting is rooted in what he sees as an opportunity to share information, highlight people’s personal stories, and supporting the ‘Aging & LGBTQ+' communities. Observing many older people both gay and straight struggling with social isolation, ageism, physical & mental health issues, and most importantly, asking the question “HOW ARE YOU DOIN’? We feel it’s vital to share as much information and individual narratives to reassure people. WE SEE YOU! and we are going to be ok.
Dons message is " We all need to know there ARE people out there going through what WE are going through." There are organizations, and wonderful resources who can help.
C’mon In. The water is fine!

Gary Pegueros

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gary is the youngest of four boys, an uncle to eight nieces/nephews, and a great uncle to three (so far). On his mom’s side, he has a huge extended family in various parts of Mexico. Gary enjoys travel and has taken numerous flights to Europe over the past 40+ years. Long-term commitment is a familiar phrase when it comes to Gary: He has worked for the same man for over 36 years. He has volunteered for the San Francisco Fire Department for over 20 years. He has volunteered for his Neighborhood Association for over 17 years. He has lived in San Francisco for over 30 years, 21+ years at his current home. He has numerous friends that he has known for over 25 years, and some since Kindergarten / Elementary School. It was not until 2020 when Gary became a pod-ite (or what I call a fan of podcasts). After three years of being 1/3 of the “3 P’s in a Podcast” show, Gary teamed up with longtime friend (and fellow “3 P’s in a Podcast” host) Don Pfeifer to continue the fun in our “Don and Gary Doin’ 60” podcast.
