196 – You Can Print on Anything—Except Maybe Paper

This week on The Gay Mix, Daniel and Adam kick things off with their usual blend of technical banter and behind-the-scenes podcasting talk, sharing how they wrangle transcripts and use AI tools to create show summaries. They catch up on life, including Daniel’s ongoing running adventures and Adam’s vacation plans—featuring a cruise with his parents and a follow-up trip to New Jersey for a Pokémon event. The pair also break down their upcoming podcast schedule, teasing co-hosts and best-of episodes as travel season heats up.

The conversation then turns to the latest happenings in Central Florida’s theme park scene, focusing on the grand opening of Universal’s Epic Universe. Daniel shares local news coverage—including a memorably dramatic interview about a guest’s cancer-stricken mother—and the hosts have a good laugh about the manufactured emotion around the event. They also poke fun at the social media circus and the people who take pride in theme park rumors coming true.

Later in the show, Adam delivers a 3D printing update, unveiling his latest printer obsession and plans to go full Etsy crafter—complete with coasters, phone cases, and textured prints. The discussion gets nerdy as they compare printing technologies, reminisce about resin mishaps, and riff on the possibilities for Adam’s new UV printer. As always, the conversation is peppered with candid stories, running jokes, and just a touch of toilet humor.

195 – There Are Two Stomachs, Everyone Knows That.

Daniel and Adam kick off this episode reflecting on their loyal live audience, debating the virtues of being someone’s Friday night bedtime story. The discussion quickly shifts to personal updates, with Daniel sharing the trials of summer running in Florida and adjusting his training schedule for an upcoming half marathon. Adam, meanwhile, reveals his latest obsession with 3D printing black and white animals and floats the idea of turning gourmet food photos from his travels into 3D-printed wall art. The pair have a lively exchange on home décor, digital photo displays, and the (sometimes questionable) placement of family photos.

The conversation moves to family stories, including Adam’s Mother’s Day culinary adventures, complete with tales of chocolate pie and a mother who can’t resist spoiling the family dog (and perhaps herself). Daniel and Adam reminisce about past podcast episodes, discussing early contests like the celebrity death phone, and how AI tools are now helping them unearth embarrassing gems from their early years. They even consider reviving their original “Say good night, Adam” sign-off for nostalgia’s sake.

Rounding out the episode, the hosts dive into the Contact segment, sharing a listener voicemail about Ruth Buzzi and swapping Conway Twitty trivia. Listener emails prompt cruise tips for Alaska and memories of the Mendenhall Glacier—along with the weighty subject of carrying giant camera lenses on hikes. As always, the banter is warm, geeky, and filled with inside jokes for long-time fans.

194 – Squirty Squirt Was My Stripper Name in the 90s

After a short hiatus, Daniel and Adam return to the podcast with a hilariously chaotic catch-up session. They open with some behind-the-scenes fumbling, recapping missed recording attempts and technical hiccups. Daniel shares updates on his running schedule, including an upcoming 10K and half-marathon training plans, while also revealing his highly specific obsession with watermelon-lime White Claw. Meanwhile, Adam recounts his recent trip to a podcasting convention in Las Vegas, highlighting the organizational messes and awkward social encounters—including one memorable ticketing blunder and a tearful podcaster meet-and-greet.

The pair transition into a tech-flavored discussion, diving into frustrations with Google Home’s latest Gemini integration and power consumption myths surrounding AI. Lamont’s question sparks a Technology segment, where Daniel offers a mix of insight and exasperation about smart home ecosystems, while Adam laments the uneven Echo upgrade rollout. This leads into a classic “Contact” segment, featuring voicemails from fans weighing in on the death of Pope Francis (spoiler alert: not actually dead), celebrity death guesses, and a question about whether Adam feeds his movers.

They close with Dennis’s charming inquiry about how the two met, which prompts a retrospective on their early podcasting days and the birth of Pride 48. With laughs, listener love, and a sprinkle of AI soapboxing, the episode is a perfect example of The Gay Mix’s irreverent charm and warm rapport.

193 – I Could Have Licked Him for Salt

In this episode of “The Gay Mix,” Daniel and Adam discuss several engaging topics. Daniel shares the ongoing challenges of incorporating live video elements into their podcast, highlighting timing issues due to Zoom delays. He also updates listeners on his running journey, reflecting on recent training sessions, pacing difficulties, and the awkwardness of race-day photos. Adam describes his partner Mark’s recent marathon experience, detailing his own amusing struggles in spotting Mark along the race course using a runner-tracking app.

Additionally, the hosts dive into a lively conversation about theme parks, specifically critiquing the new Harry Potter ride at Universal’s Epic Universe. Daniel expresses frustration about unrealistic audio immersion affecting the ride’s overall experience. Regular segments like “Contact” include listener interactions, and Daniel concludes the episode with a playful critique of TV shows such as “The Pit” and “Hacks,” calling out their unrealistic portrayals of everyday technology, particularly with language translation apps and subscription-based services.
