121 – Putting AI Into Everything

We start off this show (that was VERY late to be posted), with the traditional run update from Daniel. Adam talks about his recent experience at a local fast food establishment and that Marc referred to him as a “Karen.”

Daniel talks about a party at Typhoon lagoon that just wasn’t scandalous enough for him. Adam is still perplexed as to why Daniel likes going to water parks in the first place. Daniel also talks about building his new computer.

In the final segment Adam reveals that he has been doing keegle exercises as suggested by Daniel and that his keegle muscles get very sore. We have yet to see any benefits of these exercises, but will keep you all posted.

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.
