191 – Nobody Wants to Be Peed On By a Dog
This episode began with Daniel giving his weekly running update, focusing on the RunDisney Springtime Surprise weekend where he was preparing for the 10-miler, while his partner Zach had already run the 5K and was set for the 10K. A significant portion was dedicated to discussing the new Disney-themed running shoes released by Brooks, Daniel’s disappointment that his preferred shoe model wasn’t included, and his use of AI to design his own Pluto-themed version. Adam then shared a detailed and frustrating account of his multi-day saga trying to resolve major home internet and Wi-Fi issues, which involved failed troubleshooting, replacing hardware multiple times (Orbi, Netgear Nighthawk, finally settling on TP-Link), and dealing with customer service and a technician visit.
The hosts also touched upon various AI tools like Mindstudio.ai and N8N, and Adam received an “assignment” to watch a Microsoft Co-pilot presentation. The “Contact” segment involved finishing listener questions for Daniel from his birthday the previous week, covering topics like running habits, shoe replacement, and travel. They played new voicemails, notably discussing the passing of fellow podcaster Rambler Redhead and the importance of archiving old shows, alongside a listener’s amusingly hazardous teenage experience with poppers. The “News Quiz” followed its usual format with trivia on business, economics, and weather, and the episode concluded with Adam recounting a negative interaction on the social media platform Blue Sky and Daniel offering moderation advice.

190 – Murder on the Wonder of the Seas
In this week’s episode, recorded on Daniel’s birthday (March 28, 2025), the hosts spend some time celebrating Daniel’s 58th trip around the sun. They chat about birthday traditions, how Daniel’s milestone conveniently coincides with Zach’s upcoming 40th, and why Daniel isn’t too keen on the “black balloons” over-the-hill treatment. The Running segment finds Daniel juggling his training runs around the Florida rain and prepping for an upcoming 10-mile race—uncertain if he’ll squeeze in a final long run or simply brave the rainy weather.
Adam, fresh off a mischievous moment of pulling the wool over Daniel’s eyes with a supposed “table fix,” moves on to share his latest fascination with a new 3D printer that can also laser-cut and engrave. Meanwhile, in the Contact segment, numerous callers wish Daniel a happy birthday, and the pair play the “News Game”, where Adam quizzes Daniel on current events. The show ends with Daniel opening a birthday present that Adam made for him.
