It’s our last show before a little October hiatus, and naturally we’re leaving you with a completely reasonable discussion about heavy cream, pronunciation, and whether a chatbot can be persuaded to rig a pumpkin contest. Daniel’s running comeback hits another speed bump, while Adam returns from Berlin with a pink baseball cap, marathon stories, and some very strong opinions. Consider this your October care package: a little heartfelt encouragement, a little technological enthusiasm, and plenty of accusations made with absolutely straight faces.Adam recounts cheering Marc through the Berlin Marathon, where a personal best sparks a surprisingly emotional conversation about ambition and celebrating your wins. Then we compare notes on our AI assistants: Alice, KM, and Sebastian are tackling everything from neglected customer-service chores to insurance quotes and cruise reminders. Listener contact turns up the heat with a spirited debate about AI-written résumés, a complaint about Daniel’s extravagant News Game jingles, and unsolicited advice about Fiji. Meanwhile, a Berlin kebab order becomes an international incident involving English, German, and the extremely important question of where one’s fries belong.The News Game gets a musical compromise, Daniel puts his head-brain to work, and Adam delivers a passionate prosecution of the woman who reclined into his personal space for an entire transatlantic flight. Celebrity birthdays bring a few questionable guesses and an unexpected revelation about Captain Hook’s family tree before we send you off with Halloween wishes and plans to return in November. We hope you enjoy—and do keep those calls and messages coming while we’re away. Apparently we need both listener feedback and supervision.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284
