120 – Playing With Balls in the Back Yard

In today’s episode, Adam started out by chastising a listener in the chat room who told him he is too old to be wearing necklaces. We then proceed to the normal run update by Daniel and a review of the Survivor season finale. Adam and Daniel were not pleased with who won. There were definitely spoilers, so if you haven’t watched it, you should watch first before listening to the show.

Adam talked about a recent generous gift that he gave to some family members who are struggling because of a medical situation. Adam didn’t feel he received a proper thank you. Daniel thinks Adam should be satisfied with knowing he did a good deed. Next Daniel covers a transgender woman who won a swim competition in the past. People are trying to get the medals removed because they don’t think it was fair due to her transgender status.

In the Contact segment, we covered an email from a listener who says Daniel is not framed correctly in his video. Apparently not enough of his luscious beard is in view due to microphone placement. We also got a LOT of death phone calls.

We then move on to the News Quiz and Test Kitchen, where the highlight is the discussion of World Dracula day, and birthdays of Lenny Kravitz, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Hank Williams, Jr.

In the final segment Adam and Daniel discuss some thieves who have been stealing Daniels Mangos.

119 – 120 Seconds of Running

On this electrifying episode of Mix Minus, hosts Daniel and Adam will take you on an adventurous journey through a whirlpool of topics. Kicking things off, Daniel gives his usual running update.  Then Adam talks about his recent promotion at work and the diverse reactions from colleagues.

Things get interesting when the hosts delve into a recent conversation on the Pod Is My Copilot podcast where Talor mentions he’s looking
for friends on Scruff.  Adam and Daniel give examples of their interactions on dating platforms like Grindr and Scruff, asking the compelling question: why can’t users seek both friendships and hookups? Adam thinks it should only be for hookups.

In the contact segment, listener Scotty calls In to ask about dealing with “well-meaning friends” with inappropriate questions about your immigrant partner and how Adam has dealt with this.

We them move on to the News Quiz and Test Kitchen, where the highlight is the discussion of the one-of-a-kind Frog Jumping Jubilee Day and its potential links to the Toad Suck Festival in Conway Arkansas.

In the final segment Adam and Daniel explore navigating political discussions within the family circle, and how differences in viewpoints can brew conflict. Adam gives a personal account of his interactions with his mother, a loyal Fox News consumer, with a particular emphasis on her stance on immigration. This takes the conversation deeper into the complex landscape of challenging family-held beliefs.

118 – A Robot Voice

The fact that both Adam and Daniel are getting old is evident in our first topics. Daniel is becoming a crazy cat lady and discusses stalking of two cats that he and Zach are considering adopting. Adam then reveals his age by talking about his crepy skin and his new beauty routine.

Next we talk about AI. Daniel does a comparison of Bard vs ChatGPT and Adam reveals an AI generated clone of Daniel’s voice. It’s not too bad, but there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to emotion and inflection. We also had contact and news game sections.

Finally we did the Test Kitchen, where we talk about things that happened on the same day of the month as this year. Notable items are National Hogie Day, International Tuba Day, and birthdays of Drew and Jonathan Scott, and Jay Leno.

117 – Running Towards McDonalds

Adam and Daniel return from their Magical Disney Trip and have lots to say about the trip. First off, Daniel gives us an update on his training since the 10k. He has kept it up and booked a couple more runs for 2023. He even asks Adam if Marc will do a run with him when they visit Arkansas in December. Apparently the Frosty 5k is at the right time.

Next they go through a recap of the Disney trip. Daniel thinks Adam is way too critical of the entire experience. Adam says he loved the trip and just had a few criticisms that he has called out on podcasts to be funny. Adam and Marc fell asleep in the American Adventure show and got hell from Daniel. Adam also talks about his new love of the sexy tumble monkeys in the Animal Kingdom Lion King show. They are SOOOO hott!!!

Finally we did the Test Kitchen, where we talk about things that happened on the same day of the month as this year. Notable items are National Hairball Awareness Day, and birthdays of Drew and Jonathan Scott, and Jay Leno.

116 – You Look Like the Travelocity Gnome

In this episode we start on time!! Adam made it back from his haircut by using the GPS. Daniel gives his standard run update as he prepares for his final week of training for the Disney marathon. Much to Daniel’s dismay, Adam discusses he and Marc’s planning for their summer trips in the Northeast US and Iceland. Daniel was hoping they were Florida/Disney plans.

Daniel updates us on his deep dive into AI and usage of the various tools available. But instead of a deep dive into ChatGTP, Daniel decided he should use one of those avatar generators to create an image of himself. One of them looks similar to the Travelocity gnome.

We also spent a bit of time talking about marketing of The Mix podcast and things we need to do in order to get more listeners including a possible name change, Instagram account, and Tiktok videos. We are moving on up!!

Finally we did the normal segments of News Game, and Test Kitchen, where we talk about things that happened on the same day of the month as this year. Notable items are National Beer Day, National Beaver Day and birthdays of Russel Crowe and Francis Ford Coppola.

115 – I Like Holding Things

In this episode we return from a week off with Daniel correcting Adam’s use of the one-shot in our video. Apparently Daniel is too self conscious to be on camera by himself. We also get a running update. It’s easier to run on a tread mill.

While we were on break Adam had small intruders in his house that cost a ton of money to remove. He also had a run in with the law, but swears he wasn’t speeding. Daniel summarized his birthday trip to California and gave glowing reviews for Auntie Scott’s beef stroganoff.

We also played a hilarious clip from the new podcast Daniel has been listening to recently. You can find them at @toptobottompod on Tiktok.

Finally we did the normal segments of Contact, News Gate, and Test Kitchen, where we talk about things that happened on the same day of the month as this year. Notable items are the discussion of Native American names during Kathy Bacons call and National Crayon Day.

114 – I am Busy … Watching All of that Television

Tonight on The Gay Mix, Adam was EXTREMELY late due to poor navigation issues. We talk about this and he is sufficiently scolded by Daniel, who would never go ANYWHERE without using GPS. Daniel also gave his most recent run update to let us know how he’s doing on his training for the Disney marathon in July. Please note that Daniel has now been injured during training, so there may be a set back.

Adam and Marc are joining Daniel and Zach for the Disney marathon (just to watch). So Adam and Daniel discussed the vacation plans and the various restaurants and rides that they will be partaking of on the trip.

Finally we did the normal segments of Contact, News Gate, and Test Kitchen, where we talk about things that happened on the same day of the month as this year. Notable items are the birth of hottie singer Hozier and St Patrick’s Day.

113 – I am not at a loss of things to listen to

We had a conversation after we recorded this show about who would be responsible for writing show notes for the episode. Adam volunteered to do it. If everything goes as planned, you won’t be reading this description – you will be reading the comprehensive show notes from Adam. Oh! How you will delight in knowing what information is talked about on the show in the flowery prose of someone with complete command of the English language.

Of course, if he forgets to do it then you will be reading this crap (feel free to call and lodge a complaint about it)

112 – How is it Possible to Have Audio That Bad?

I asked ChatGPT to write the summary of this week’s show. I just passed it the topics from our Trello board. It basically just rearranged all of the words that I had given it. This week, Adam and Daniel talk about Running, Tron, Trixie and Katya, Airplane Captain, and Margaritas.

111 – Would I Really Use A Weather Balloon?

I asked ChatGPT to write the summary of this episode for me and it told me that it had no knowledge about it. This is bad because quite frankly I don’t remember what we talked about. We use a topic board system during the show. Maybe if I look at it I might remember some things. Apparently there was a magic show and a chocolate festival during Valentine’s Weekend – nope I don’t remember it. You might as well go ahead and take a listen to it.
