196b – Are We in Peak Plouff Mud Season?

The Gay Mix welcomes guest host Dr. Wesley Stone as Daniel and Wes banter their way through a nostalgic and geeky episode. Daniel nearly introduces Adam before remembering the “Secret Coffee Crystals” swap, and the show kicks off with retro pop culture jokes and stories about past podcast escapades. The pair reminisce about cross-podcast history, Disney+ streaming woes, and why Daniel refuses to watch anything with ads—even if it’s free.

Daniel gives an update on his running schedule, diving into the science of hydration and nutrition for distance running, before turning the conversation to Large Language Models and the current state of AI. Wes’s “cranky old man” persona is on full display as Daniel teases him about angry letters and Wes tries to keep up with the latest tech trends. Daniel also shares his latest online hobby: trolling the comment sections as Emperor Palpatine with the help of AI.

Later, Daniel offers up a Tampa dining recommendation and some hilarious tales of internet pranking and catfishing. The show wraps up with a discussion about Charleston’s infamous “Plouff mud,” shout-outs for Wes’s podcast, and promises of Adam’s triumphant return (and Pokémon adventures) next week. Listeners are reminded to call, text, or email their feedback and stories—and, of course, to tune in next Friday for more fun.
