Daniel and Adam open with a bit of friendly tension, as Daniel admits he was quietly mad at Adam during a past episode — news to Adam, who had no idea. The conversation quickly moves into updates on running, podcasting, and Daniel’s ongoing saga with a dealership over an $8,000 check from his truck trade-in. Daniel also shares stories from his recent work presentations on AI and context engineering, prompting Adam to tease him about becoming the “corporate AI whisperer.”

The Contact segment is packed with listener interaction, including emails, texts, and voicemails. Topics range from birthday shoutouts to tech frustrations and the logistics of handling the “Mix Minus” email account. The Technology segment makes a cameo, courtesy of Big Fatty Online, before the show transitions into the News Game — where Adam quizzes Daniel on current events, leading to plenty of side commentary and playful derailments.

The episode wraps with the Birthday segment, celebrating upcoming birthdays for friends, listeners, and even Daniel’s cats, Barley and Ian. There’s also talk of Adam’s own impending birthday, with Daniel encouraging listeners to flood the voicemail line with well-wishes. As always, the mix of personal stories, running gags, and audience engagement keeps the episode moving at a lively pace.
