Mix Minus - A Gay / LGBTQ Experience

Daniel and Adam reunite after a couple of weeks off, immediately facing their usual tech gremlins—streaming audio works but video refuses to cooperate, prompting playful digs at Restream and plans to wrangle Discord into service. Adam confesses he missed last week's show entirely and forgot Daniel even recorded with guest host Wesley Stone, sparking a round of best-friend banter and mock recrimination (and a little shade for missing National Best Friends Day).The duo update listeners on their summer plans and the podcast schedule: Daniel will be camping next weekend, so Adam will likely host with a guest. This leads into a classic running update, with Daniel detailing the art of rescheduling long runs around Florida's heat and Juneteenth, while Adam guesses at Daniel's routine and is gently roasted for his accuracy. They transition to Adam's recent travels—a cruise with his parents and a trip to New York and New Jersey—where Adam shares both the joys and challenges of traveling with aging parents, including slow walks, excursion mishaps, and the realities of being a caretaker.The episode rounds out with talk of cruise cabanas, butlers from Serbia, the psychology behind name tags at Disney, and a “fundamental attribution error” lesson that turns into a tongue-in-cheek critique of Adam's other podcast. Daniel encourages personal growth (and a little less nostalgia) while Adam promises to pass along the feedback. All the while, their humor and genuine friendship shine through, mixing heartfelt real talk with plenty of laughs.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284
