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. Contact Info: Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice: 707-61-DEATH / http://VoiceMail.MixMinusPodcast.com

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) Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://VoiceMail.MixMinusPodcast.com

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.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH or http://Voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

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.

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).  Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

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).  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

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.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

Our very last show of 2022 rolls out like an old man wearing diapers - because you can Depend on it! We cover all of the exciting things that have happened in our lives since Christmas and spend a few minutes looking ahead to 2023. Celebrity deaths are reported, news games are played, and we make fun of not one, but two different podcasts (other than our own).  Make a New Year's resolution to call us and say hello!

This was our penultimate show of 2022. We talk about holiday happenings and running a 5k race at a winery. Daniel found out on Wednesday that he would be off for the rest of the year thanks to a departmental goal that was met. Adam will continue to toil away at the Spitvalve factory instead of enjoying a week off. We play voicemails from people and a very nice email was read. Daniel apologized to one of the listeners for mansplaining things on Mastodon.  We have one final show left for 2022. Join us live at 10 pm ET on Pride48 - Friday, December 30th!

Hey there loyal podcast description reader! On this episode we talked about Daniel's running progress as well as his trip to Arkansas. Adam talked about his big fancy new monitor and how he needs you to click on his Amazon affiliate link in order to pay for it. Here is the link - https://amzn.to/3WuXAdv  I always hate writing these descriptions because I never remember exactly what we talked about by the time I complete editing and posting it to Anchor. I keep asking Adam if we can hire an intern to do these kinds of things for us, but he just tells me to shut up and click on his Amazon link.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

Adam and Daniel went on a cruise for Thanksgiving and they are both giving thanks to being back home. Adam took a week off from his award-winning daily podcast which means that this is the first episode in a very long time where he isn't repeating material. We play some voice mails and some games before we slide into the after-show.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH

Hey kids! We talked about a lot of things on this episode but I can't remember what they were because we are leaving for a cruise in 4 days! Let's just assume that I (Daniel) said lots of witty things and Adam poo-poo'ed them rather than react as one would for a witty thing. I'm not sure exactly how one reacts to a witty thing and for that matter, I am not entirely sure that I said anything witty. SO, how about you just listen to the episode and decide for yourself!  We will not be doing live shows for the next two weeks as we enjoy our Caribbean cruise.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

It was a very busy week for the Celebrity Death Phone! At this rate, we might need to take out a loan to award the prize during the live-streaming weekend next year. Adam updated us on Marc's whereabouts and Daniel let us know how he is faring with his 10k preparations. Of course, the story of the week is a (presumably former) listener behaving like a 3-year-old who was told "no" when they wanted an ice cream cone.  We are off next week, so our next live show will be on November 14th at 10 pm ET.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

Now that I know that only Gary reads these descriptions, I can just tailor it to him. So, Gary, you were in the room for most of the first part of the show, but when you fell asleep after one too many Baptist beers, there was a news quiz and a lovely discussion about how realistic dog girl looked. Congratulations on getting an entry into the contest and an extra $2 added to the pot simply by reading the episode description!  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com If by some chance anyone else is reading this; you can get an entry into our contest and increase the pot by $2 if you leave us a voicemail and cut it short because you are interrupted by something. I will leave the "something" up to you. 

I mean sure we made 500+ episodes of Dubious Intent and when you add in all of the other shows we have been on over the years, 100 seems like a tiny number. But Marc is out of town and Adam wanted an excuse to drink so we decided to celebrate 100 episodes of Mix Minus. Thank you to everyone who called in and left us a message we really do appreciate it. I will give you one more chance to bump up the deathphone pot - if you work the word "circuitous" into a voicemail this week, I will add $2 to the pot and give you an entry into the contest.   Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

Hey everyone and by everyone I mean the one or two people that actually read the show notes. Next week we will be recording our 100th episode of Mix Minus! We would love it if you would call in and let us know that you are out there. Nothing big, just say HI or Happy 100th or maybe give us some fascinating trivia about why we recognize hitting 100? Oh, and if you, the reader of this work the word piccolo into your phone call, I will add $2 to the pot and add your name to the contest.  Email: contact@MinxMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

Hurricane Ian came to Daniel's house and took away the electricity. No fears though, our intrepid podcaster headed to the driveway and McGiver'd a system to be able to record the show. Unsurpisingly, a lot of talk about hurricanes happened. Adam rummaged through his attic and somehow found the oldest recording of our contact segment ever made. Other things happened but it took so long to stitch this episode together that I have forgotten.  Email: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: 707-61-DEATH / http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com

It is another fun episode full of things that I barely remember - I really should keep some notes about what we talked about instead of trying to remember when I write this description 2 days later. I think we talked about the Naturalization ceremony, a cool new museum crime show, training progress on Daniel's upcoming races and a bold new business idea that Adam had.

After a short break, Adam and Daniel are back. If you've ever wondered what the most complicated order is that you could give at the Whataburger drive-through, then you owe it to yourself to listen to this episode. Daniel is training for a 10k in April and is doing so with earbuds. Someone died, and it got Daniel to pose the musical question: What does Big Fatty want for his funeral?

Stuff happened, and then Adam announced that he and Marc would be joining the Holland America Thanksgiving cruise - and I don't remember the other things that happened.  EMail: contact@MixMinusPodcast.com Voice: http://voicemail.MixMinusPodcast.com OR 707-61-DEATH
