Episode 455 – The Big Arch Bite, AI Glasses & Meat Falling From the Sky

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?Spring tries to arrive, but winter isn’t quite ready to leave.We start the show talking about daylight saving time and the strange seasonal moment where the weather can’t decide what it wants to do. Warm one day, cold the next — the kind of transition that makes March feel permanently confused.Food marketing makes an appearance when we talk about a viral video featuring Chris Kempczinski attempting to eat the new Big Arch burger from McDonald's. The bite itself looks suspiciously small, and a jump cut in the video raises the possibility that the tasting moment might not have gone exactly as planned.AI shows up again, this time through a strange trend of automated YouTube cartoons teaching children their ABCs. The results are often unsettling, with bizarre combinations of objects and characters that don’t quite make sense — proof that AI creativity doesn’t always translate into kid-friendly imagery.JD shares one of America’s strangest historical events: the famous Kentucky meat shower of 1876, when pieces of meat reportedly fell from the sky. The town still celebrates the odd event today — including dropping sticks of jerky as part of the festivities.We also touch on entertainment, including a recent awards show appearance by Kristen Bell featuring an unusual clay-head presentation that left people scratching their heads.Spring also means baseball season returning with spring training, and of course the annual approach of St. Patrick's Day — that magical time of year when everyone suddenly discovers they’re a little bit Irish.JD’s neighbor — the friend who isn’t exactly a friend — makes another appearance as the ongoing saga continues.Technology frustrations appear again when Dan shares a Quick Assist support code and turns it into a song so JD can remember it. That leads to a rabbit hole of license plate wordplay, including one that spells out a reminder for children to empty their bladders before leaving on a trip.We also talk about new AI-powered smart glasses from Meta Platforms and the unsettling privacy questions they raise — including the ability to record the world around you without people realizing it.A Florida woman makes headlines for solving the housing crisis in a creative way: living in a hotel room for more than two years, taking advantage of included utilities and housekeeping.Science brings some uncomfortable news as researchers warn about increasing levels of microplastics in food — especially when heated in plastic containers that are technically labeled “food safe.”The episode closes with a cautionary financial story involving a Florida man who believed he had inherited his mother’s home, only to discover she had taken out a reverse mortgage — leaving him responsible for nearly $200,000.Daylight saving time confusion, corporate burger bites, meat falling from the sky, AI cartoons, privacy concerns, and the strange realities of modern life.All that and more on Episode 455 of The Slade and Mayson Show.Listen to the podcast version: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and SoundCloudMerch: https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2Sponsor: http://www.IceysomethinIcey.comMusic: Courtesy of Dano https://danosongs.com/More from JD: Old-time country music daily on Sladio https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson
