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.

110 – The Arid Peaks of Mt. Epcot

What a strange episode this was. Immediately the show is sidetracked talking about the video which causes Daniel to skip the Running update at the top of the show (don’t worry, he did talk about it later in the episode). As it turns out, Adam doesn’t even know who Miley Cyrus is – much less know about her new song and the significance of it when compared to a Bruno Mars song from 2009. We also learn that Adam doesn’t know why someone would be curious if he has top-secret documents in his house. 

Daniel has a new induction range and convection oven combo which arrived this week. He hasn’t used it long enough to have a thorough review, but by the time the show comes back from hiatus, he will. Speaking of which, the show will be taking off the month of February due to a ton of scheduled events. Rest assured, it will return March 3rd, 2023 (so mark your calendars for that evening).

109 – You Can Not Handle the Live Streaming

After Daniel updates everyone about his elite-level run training, he starts to chastise Adam about something he heard on “Throwing Down” (Adam’s podcast with Joe Betance). Before he can even make a point, Adam reveals that he also wants to discuss this topic. In typical Adam fashion, he re-hashes too many details about something that could have been narrowed down to a few sentences. 

It turns out that Adam is upset about Joe’s belief that Adam reads the chat room too much during “Throwing Down” and has been “banned” from live-streaming the recording of the show whereas Daniel is upset that Adam never listens to his stories. Long story short: they will start tagging items on the show rundown denoting items that should not be interrupted.

The most number of phone calls in forever floods the contact segment. Celebrities are dead, people get entries into the contest, and the truth about the Australian School System is revealed. You probably didn’t expect to gain an intercontinental expose of competing school systems when you saw that this was the contact segment – but trust me that is where we ended up.

Daniel left raw meat in his RV when he left the campground last weekend. He wonders what will he find on Feb 5th when he returns? If you are mourning the loss of Splash Mountain at Disney, you are just a racist. 

The news game was played and the Test Kitchen was visited. Finally we learned that friend of the show Kathy Bacon is actually the author of “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” the best-selling cookbook in like a bajillion years. Good for you Kathy! (please send us money).

108 – Is Turk a Derogatory Term?

The first show of the new year and Adam poses the musical question “Is Turk a derogatory term”? Well, there was no music but it would sound silly if I were to say that he asked the spoken question. Regardless … Irregardless? I never remember which one of those that I should use. I never have a problem with remembering the difference between bring and take or lay and lie but for some reason I am drawing a blank on regardless or irregardless. Maybe it is like flammable and inflammable which essentially mean the same thing? I don’t know. I should probably look it up. 

Oh yeah. There was a show and lots of fun things were said. You should listen to it.
