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

A muted Adam attempts a solemn September 11th opening, Daniel’s tinnitus refuses to observe the moment of silence, and we’re off to the races—almost literally. Daniel weighs a cautious return to running before Wine & Dine, then sends Devs straight to editing jail for crimes against pacing while making the case that Star City deserves more than one episode to work its Soviet-space-program magic.Adam’s beloved UV printer demands a $600 organ transplant, inspires the launch of the entirely fictional UFlexon, and raises the deeply important question of why printer discounts are respectable but Aldi cheese is apparently comedy gold. From there, the boys troubleshoot Codex, marvel at Apple’s shocking invention of a foldable phone, demand holograms and shit, and turn Tony from Illinois’s driving dilemma into a suspiciously elaborate app-development assignment.AI takes over the household finances as Daniel tackles benefits and retirement contributions while Adam learns exactly how long he has before becoming destitute—and gets personally attacked over his streaming subscriptions. Daniel scores an extremely legitimate six out of five in the News Game, birthdays bring Harry Connick Jr., Adam Sandler, and Hugh Grant, and MS Now finally offers cable-news access without a cable-sized ransom. We’re back next week; until then, we hope you enjoy this highly professional organization in action.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

Friday night starts like a tiny studio rave as the soundboard lights twinkle and Daniel dives headfirst into a bumper crop of new AI models. Adam counters with his adventures in voice-driven vibe coding from the car, where his allegedly brilliant assistant can explain exactly what step needs doing, promise to do it, and then absolutely not do it. There’s also a glimpse of Daniel’s new Epcot Food & Wine Festival app, plus confirmation that RT Cruiser’s prize money made its way to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.Then it’s time for romance, travel, and aggressive budgeting: Adam and Marc unveil their 2027 fifteenth-anniversary “Boyfication,” with Fiji triumphing over Antarctica and an African safari. The fantasy includes Survivor-adjacent islands, “free” flights bought with miles, and a possible overwater bungalow expensive enough to make Daniel suggest building one at the lake house and returning the mattress afterward. Daniel also solves the mystery of Hanson’s unusually early Epcot appearance, while listener calls, birthday-trip plans, and a little theme-song shade keep the mess moving.The back half brings an online-identity scramble for a former podcaster, followed by Adam’s gloriously inefficient Global Entry saga: a six-hour passport-free false start, another epic drive, a missing credit card, and a five-minute interview. Daniel tackles the News Game before celebrity birthdays for Beyoncé, Charlie Sheen, and Keanu Reeves lead to tiger blood, Estefan-versus-Estevez confusion, and one last after-show tease. We hope you enjoy this week’s tour through artificial intelligence, international travel, and the uniquely gay art of turning every minor inconvenience into a full production.Contact@MixMinusPodcast.com707-613-3284
