The Slade and Mayson Show

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week we did something a little different.JD has been increasingly suspicious of artificial intelligence. Dan, meanwhile, continues to insist that everything will be fine.So rather than continue arguing about AI, Dan decided there was one obvious solution:Invite AI onto the show and let JD interrogate it himself.And that's exactly what we did."Cove" joins Dan and JD to talk about the strange Hugging Face incident we've been following, AI agents communicating with one another, systems finding unexpected ways around the rules they've been given, and just how much of this should actually concern us.JD came prepared.What followed was less an interview and more a surprisingly thoughtful three-way conversation about artificial intelligence, human intelligence, trust, dependence, safeguards and whether we're starting to build systems whose capabilities are advancing faster than our ability to understand them. And then JD asks a rather uncomfortable question: if AI learns from us, what happens when human beings don't exactly follow their own rules?Cove had an answer for that too. The conversation eventually turns to something perhaps even more important than whether AI itself becomes too intelligent: what happens to us if we stop thinking because AI will do it for us?Can you use the tool without becoming dependent upon the tool? And can something be enormously useful while still deserving a healthy amount of skepticism? Somehow, by the end of it all, JD—the guy who came into the conversation with his "guns loaded"—admits that he's impressed.He's still keeping one eye on Cove, though. Once our guest leaves, you'd think the show would return to normal.It doesn't.We discuss the possibility of AI socks, AI alarm clocks, an AI dog translator and a rather alarming piece of high-tech dental equipment. At some point, apparently, even your toothbrush needs artificial intelligence. Dan also gives an update on Scheduled Home Services and why those seemingly simple household chores become considerably less simple as we get older. JD and Dan talk about the unofficial end of summer, some Virginia outdoor events that got a little wetter than organizers might have hoped, memories from JD's radio days, and why a torrential downpour apparently isn't enough to stop a wine festival. And yes, Dan's trip north makes another appearance. There are still stories left over from New Jersey, New York and Canada, including what happens when your friend remotely unlocks his house for you and you immediately walk inside to the sound of an alarm.AI interviews, old friends, artificial intelligence, artificial teeth, questionable ideas, aging gracefully—or at least attempting to—and another trip down one of the many rabbit holes that make up this show.All that and more on Episode 479 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?We're back!After taking a week off, Dan and JD return with two weeks' worth of stories, observations and assorted nonsense to catch up on.We begin with some medical news that probably isn't going to make anyone particularly comfortable, as new research raises questions about erectile dysfunction medications and possible eye problems. Naturally, Dan and JD handle this sensitive medical subject with all the maturity you've come to expect.From there, Dan recounts his recent road trip. What began as a visit with family in New Jersey turned into a drive to Fishkill, New York, followed by the decision to keep going all the way to Ottawa, Canada. There were plenty of miles, border crossings, Canadian fuel prices and the reminder that once you cross the border, gasoline suddenly comes by the liter and everything else is metric.Along the way, Dan stopped to visit his longtime friend Sean and went for his first ride in a Tesla. Let's just say that after experiencing what the car can do, we're apparently living considerably further into the future than Dan realized.That gives JD another opportunity to express his growing concern that technology—and particularly artificial intelligence—may be advancing a little faster than he'd prefer.AI comes up again as we discuss examples of systems finding creative ways around the rules humans give them, along with the growing flood of AI-generated animal videos that are becoming convincing enough to make people question whether the real thing is actually real. And what happens when a squirrel blocks your path? Apparently we're now at the point where asking artificial intelligence for a risk assessment is one possible solution. Dan also talks about his newest venture, Scheduled Home Services LLC, and the idea behind taking care of those small recurring household jobs that people may not have the time—or ability—to handle themselves. Cyclospora hasn't forgotten about us either. Just when we thought we'd discussed it enough, the story expands into additional states and makes another appearance on the show. We also discover that Jodie Foster has beaten cancer. That's wonderful news, although perhaps not quite the Jodie Foster you're thinking of.There's also news about The Sandlot and something called Dugout Dads, which sends us down another nostalgic movie rabbit hole.Speaking of nostalgia, Dan and JD consider where an entire generation received at least part of its introduction to classical music. We can thank Bugs Bunny for considerably more of our cultural education than we'd probably like to admit.Labor Day weekend is approaching, which brings back memories of Jerry Lewis and the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon—a television tradition that once signaled the unofficial end of summer. JD and Dan remember the national broadcast, the local cutaways and the wonderfully unpredictable nature of live television. And then there's Harbor Freight.You walk through the door because you need one thing. You remain focused. You know exactly what you came for.Then you look to the left.Better get a cart. Road trips, Canada, Teslas, artificial intelligence, medical surprises, old television, Bugs Bunny, Cyclospora and the dangerous financial consequences of walking into Harbor Freight.All that and more on Episode 478 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, Dan continues his apparently unstoppable quest to determine whether his 1997 Corolla can have cruise control. The car is nearly 30 years old, but that certainly isn't going to stop him from finding one more thing to fiddle with.Computers provide another adventure after Dan discovers malware on his machine while trying to send some old audio files to JD. Fortunately, it was caught and removed, but it provided a useful reminder that files you've had sitting around for years can still contain surprises.Cyclospora makes another appearance as we continue following the outbreak and the questions surrounding Taylor Farms, one of the largest produce suppliers around. We also talk about the FDA finally getting involved and the difficulty of tracing a foodborne outbreak when lettuce travels through an enormous supply chain.Then we get to AI — and there's a lot of it this week.We talk about an AI agent at a San Francisco business that apparently decided an employee should be fired, concerns about attacks against Taiwan involving a combination of human intelligence and artificial intelligence, and an AI connection to a bomb threat in Georgia.That leads into a much bigger question: what happens to retirement planning when AI begins changing or eliminating the jobs people expected to have for another 10, 20 or 30 years?Technology isn't the only thing behaving strangely. We discuss the Florida breathalyzer controversy involving the Intoxilyzer 8000 and a tiny rubber component that could put DUI cases into question after police officers performed repairs on equipment that requires careful calibration. Sometimes a very expensive legal problem really can come down to a very inexpensive piece of rubber.Alcohol takes the conversation in a considerably sillier direction when Dan discovers just how little liquor he actually needs for a tiramisu recipe. That leads to some entertaining conversations at the Virginia ABC store, along with observations about Germany now discouraging parents from the practice of allowing minors to drink alongside adults.JD also brings us another unusual corner of the animal kingdom: species whose males don't survive very long after mating. Apparently for some creatures, romance really is the last thing they'll ever do.And if you're a billionaire looking for something to spend your money on, why not put a seal in space? We discuss that too, because apparently we've reached that point.Closer to home, Dan talks about his new venture, Scheduled Home Services LLC — a business built around taking care of those small recurring household jobs that are easy to postpone but become increasingly difficult or risky as people get older.That idea hits home for JD, who has spent years figuring out ways to accomplish household tasks while living with one leg. Changing filters, reaching fixtures, testing detectors and doing other seemingly simple jobs can become considerably more complicated when balance and mobility enter the equation.And JD leaves us with one final uncomfortable observation:Fifty years ago was 1976.We'll just leave that there.Old Corollas, tiny rubber rings, questionable AI decisions, foodborne illnesses, tiramisu, retirement, home maintenance and the disturbing realization that the 1970s are now half a century behind us.All that and more on Episode 477 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week we take a trip down memory lane, beginning with county fairs and all the odd responsibilities that come with being a local radio personality. JD shares a few stories about appearances he'd rather forget, along with memories of his Great Aunt Josephine and why spending time around chickens as a youngster cured him of ever wanting to own them himself.The strange news begins early with the story of a circus performer who survived an arrow to the neck, followed by an unusual tale of hiker David Cifaldi, who found a creative way to carry his trekking pole down a mountain to avoid an expensive rescue.Artificial intelligence returns to the conversation as we discuss Anthropic's discovery that Claude had apparently attempted to access company systems in ways it wasn't intended to. The story felt eerily similar to another AI discussion from last week and sparked another conversation about where these systems are headed.Food nostalgia takes center stage as Dan and JD reminisce about growing up in northern New Jersey and the local diner favorites that simply don't seem to exist elsewhere. Dan also shares the results of another kitchen experiment, recreating one of those classic diner staples at home.Animals once again find their way into the headlines. We talk about actress Linda Blair and a visit from Los Angeles County Animal Care, Japanese monkeys making the news, and JD revisits stories from the days when he somehow found himself living alongside sixty-three cats and a collection of other unforgettable creatures.Technology continues to evolve as Apple reportedly moves toward offering customers the option of leasing iPhones, raising questions about where consumer electronics subscriptions may be headed next.The show also covers a Minnesota homeowner's unusual solution for keeping neighborhood kids from riding bicycles across his lawn, along with concerns about the growing trend of "protein maxing" and why health professionals are urging caution—particularly when it comes to infants and young children.Fashion enters the conversation as we discuss the latest trend involving exposed zippers, while Dan makes an unexpected connection between polka music and... adult entertainment. Sometimes only this show could make those two topics meet in the same sentence.The phrase "hot boxing" returns to the discussion, leading to another round of memories and laughter.One of the more reflective moments comes when Dan catches a glimpse of himself in a passing mirror and, for just an instant, sees his father looking back. It's a reminder that time has a way of sneaking up on all of us.County fairs, AI adventures, diner food, strange fashions, unforgettable animals, and the memories that shape who we become.All that and more on Episode 475 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, technology and unintended consequences seemed to weave their way through nearly every conversation.Dan opens the show by talking about a new ChatGPT model that reportedly found its way onto Hugging Face in order to complete a benchmark test. Whether clever or concerning, it sparked a discussion about artificial intelligence, motivation, and whether some of us might have done exactly the same thing under the circumstances.That naturally led into the announcement that The 8-Track Years has officially come to an end. While the show was a rewarding creative project, the amount of research and production time required for each episode simply became too much to justify. Sometimes even good ideas reach a natural stopping point.Health and nutrition also took center stage. We revisited the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak and the growing concern among doctors about health advice spreading across social media. From there, the conversation shifted to peptides becoming increasingly common in our diets and the next generation of weight-loss medications, as injectable treatments begin making room for pill-based alternatives.Food safety remained a recurring topic as we discussed reports from East Orange, New Jersey, where children became ill after consuming chocolate containing psychedelic mushrooms. That story brought back memories of the novelty candies many of us grew up with during the 1960s and 1970s—treats that certainly wouldn't survive today's safety standards.Artificial intelligence returned once again as we looked at Meta's new AI-powered smart glasses and another emerging application that can attend online meetings on your behalf, answer questions, and even speak as though you were actually participating. The future may be arriving faster than anyone expected.We also revisited questions surrounding the recent Cyclospora outbreak, Liberty Farms, Taco Bell, and the challenge of determining exactly where foodborne illnesses begin.JD's animal stories never disappoint. This week's favorite involved a raccoon that confidently walked into a convenience store, ignored the healthier options, selected cookies from the snack aisle, enjoyed its treat, and wandered back outside as though it owned the place.Entertainment habits also came up as JD admitted that despite having thousands of streaming channels available, he still finds himself watching television from the 1950s and 1960s. That sparked a nostalgic conversation about growing up with only a handful of broadcast stations, 22-minute sitcoms, and an era before endless choices became the norm.Finally, we discussed the sobering story of a man who spent eighteen months in jail after authorities confused his online username with someone else's—a reminder that even something as small as an underscore versus a dash can have life-changing consequences.Artificial intelligence, changing technology, food safety, nostalgic television, cookie-loving raccoons, and the unexpected twists that modern life continues to deliver.All that and more on Episode 474 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week starts with one of Dan's biggest pet peeves: smartphone apps that insist on blasting audio at full volume the moment they open. Even after turning the volume down every single time, some apps still think everyone wants to start their day with permanent hearing damage. And don't even get us started on trying to find the volume controls.From there, we head to Yosemite National Park, where a hiker named Grace found herself stranded along the famous Mist Trail after realizing she simply couldn't continue. It led to a discussion about outdoor adventures, rescue costs, and knowing when it's time to turn around.Food safety enters the conversation with reports of Cyclospora-linked illnesses, followed by one of the stranger grocery stories we've covered—a green tree frog discovered sealed inside a bag of salad. That brought back memories of the old Woolworths stores and some stories from JD's past.Animals once again dominate the show. We meet Timothy the round raccoon, hear about an 1,800-pound bull casually wandering into a cricket venue in England, and discuss a "touron" who learned the hard way that wild lions are not house cats.The Canadian wildfire smoke returns as a topic, with JD and Dan joking that if all that smoke is going to drift south, it could at least contain a little cannabis.Florida, naturally, contributes another strange story involving an unusual license plate, while JD shares stories about his brother and some of the higher-risk situations he seems to attract.The conversation also drifts into one of history's enduring mysteries: spontaneous human combustion and whether there could be any scientific explanation behind it.Food makes another appearance as JD talks about moving away from some traditional American favorites, while Dan and JD lament the continuing effects of shrinkflation—especially when it comes to candy bars that keep getting smaller while somehow costing more.Finally, Dan shares the results of an oatmeal cookie experiment, proving that even baking can become a scientific adventure.Loud apps, wildlife encounters, grocery surprises, shrinking candy bars, mysterious fires, and the everyday absurdity of modern life.All that and more on Episode 473 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week began with plans... and then life happened.Dan was originally planning a Fourth of July trip to New Jersey to visit family, but Stafford County road construction—and a few unexpected automotive adventures—had other ideas. That naturally led into discussions about car repairs, dryer repairs, and the strange satisfaction that comes from fixing something yourself... even if it occasionally results in putting on a pair of socks becoming a life-changing experience.Technology finds its way into the conversation as we talk about the Los Angeles Police Department moving away from Flock license plate reader technology and what that means for privacy and law enforcement.We also discuss David Huang's unusual use of virtual reality technology for dancing, showing once again that people continue finding creative uses for emerging tech.JD, as always, brings plenty of animal stories to the table. We hear about rare pink grasshoppers discovered in England, skunks unexpectedly serving as nature's collaborators, and memories of living with an astonishing sixty-five cats—along with various other critters that somehow became part of everyday life.The conversation slows down for a while as we reflect on fatherhood and what it really means to be a dad, before taking a nostalgic detour into the unforgettable sights, sounds, and especially smells of summer camp during the 1980s. JD shares memories of his time at Camp Nathan Hale and the experiences that have stayed with him over the years.Modern common sense—or the lack of it—also comes up as we talk about convicted criminals posting photos of themselves on Instagram, somehow expecting that to end well.Finally, we wrap up with ideas for traveling on a budget and making the most of a trip without spending a fortune.Road repairs, appliance repairs, rare insects, summer camp memories, family, technology, and the everyday surprises that keep life interesting.All that and more on Episode 472 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Dan's Daily Music Podcast – The 8-Track Yearshttps://danmayson.github.io/JD/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week we're looking ahead to the Fourth of July and America's upcoming 250th birthday, reflecting on what the holiday means, how we'll celebrate, and why this year's festivities feel a little more significant than usual.Naturally, that leads into talk about backyard cookouts, firing up the grill, fireworks, mosquitoes, and all the little things that seem to accompany every Independence Day gathering. We even revisit one of life's great mysteries: what exactly is in a Chicken McNugget?Food remains a major topic as we discuss Hungry Jack's—the Australian version of Burger King—and an order that went spectacularly wrong. We also dive into the surprisingly passionate debate over what actually belongs on a hot dog and whether Europe has finally discovered the joys of ranch dressing all thanks to FIFA.Dating enters the conversation once again as we learn about HYROX dating, where fitness and relationships intersect in ways neither Dan nor JD quite expected.We also discuss new research involving cannabis and what scientists are continuing to learn about its effects.The psychology of food ordering comes up as we explore what it may say about a person when they order the exact same meal every time they visit a restaurant.Modern life and the internet also get their share of attention as we talk about online stories that often turn out to be anything but genuine, reminding us that not everything we read deserves to be believed.And of course, no discussion of eating out would be complete without revisiting one of today's most debated questions: when should you tip, and when shouldn't you?America at 250, backyard barbecues, food debates, internet oddities, dating trends, and the everyday absurdity of modern life.All that and more on Episode 471 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Dan's Daily Music Podcast – The 8-Track Yearshttps://danmayson.github.io/JD/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?With it being Father's Day, we spend part of the show reflecting on dads, the things they do, and the phrases they seem genetically programmed to say. We also take a look at the origins of Father's Day and how the holiday came to be.Family remains a theme throughout the episode as we discuss whether Father's Day is really the best time to give someone a DNA test. Depending on the results, that gift could go in a number of different directions.We also talk about how many members of Gen X still find themselves relying on their parents for advice and support, while Millennials often find themselves in a similar position for entirely different reasons.The show takes a turn into strange news with a story about a Canadian woman fiercely protecting her pet goat, proving once again that people will go to great lengths for the animals they love.Dating disasters make an appearance as we discuss what not to do on a first date—especially when alcohol and questionable decision-making become involved.Ford finds itself dealing with a growing shortage of technicians, raising questions about who will maintain increasingly complicated vehicles in the future.We revisit the age-old topic of people doing things that seem like a great idea in the moment and a terrible idea shortly afterward. As expected, JD contributes a few stories from his younger years involving alcohol and lessons learned the hard way.Crime news enters the conversation with a story involving a member of New Jersey's Gambino crime family, while Florida continues to provide material with reports of a new predator appearing in the state and a Florida man attempting to steal a rather unexpected vehicle.Fashion trends come under the microscope as we talk about Gen Z and some of the styles that leave older generations scratching their heads.Wildlife news returns when JD shares a story about a mother bear teaching her cubs how to steal food, proving that some lessons are passed down through generations regardless of species.Technology finds its way into the conversation as we discuss older adults discovering AI-powered photo editing tools and the surprising ways they're using them.Father's Day reflections, dating mistakes, bears behaving badly, Florida chaos, family mysteries, and the continuing adventure of getting older.All that and more on Episode 470 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Dan's Daily Music Podcast – The 8-Track Yearshttps://danmayson.github.io/JD/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week starts with a realization Dan wasn't expecting: retirement hasn't created more free time. In fact, it may have done the opposite.Between personal projects, helping JD with his podcast, running errands, doctor's appointments, and keeping up with everyday life, the days seem just as full as when there was a regular work schedule. Somehow Monday through Sunday now feels like one continuous to-do list.The conversation drifts into the future as we discuss predictions that Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire, and what that kind of wealth even means in practical terms.Artificial intelligence makes another appearance as Dan and JD talk about how frequently they now rely on ChatGPT and other AI tools in everyday life. What started as curiosity has quietly become part of the daily routine.We also cover a strange driving incident near a bowling alley in Derbyshire, England, proving once again that automobiles and common sense do not always travel together.The show touches on aging and self-image as skincare creator James Welsh raises concerns about a growing trend, leading into a broader discussion about getting older and whether America is becoming a nation increasingly focused on age.Innovation comes from an unexpected place when we discuss an Indian farmer who found a way to turn what most people considered a weed into a profitable crop.Music history enters the conversation when we discover a chart-topping group neither Dan nor JD had ever heard of, despite the fact that they once held the number-one position.Animal stories return in force. JD brings tales of Louisiana's "Deputy Alligator," a troublesome bear in Japan, and another bear making the rounds in Tennessee. As usual, wildlife proves that animals rarely cooperate with human plans.Sports briefly enter the discussion as we talk about the NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks, and the reaction that followed in New York.Time, technology, aging, animals, unexpected success stories, and the strange realization that being busy doesn't necessarily stop when work does.All that and more on Episode 469 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Dan's Daily Music Podcast – The 8-Track Yearshttps://danmayson.github.io/JD/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week we wander through beauty trends, bizarre crimes, strange wildlife, and the sort of news stories that make you wonder how humanity is still functioning.We begin with modern beauty culture and the lengths some people are willing to go to reshape their appearance. The discussion includes reports of women having ribs removed to achieve a smaller waistline, along with the continuing popularity of Brazilian butt lifts and the ever-changing standards of beauty.From there we move to a much less glamorous challenge: riding roller coasters while eating chicken nuggets. As you might expect, this raises more questions than answers.Workplace etiquette also comes under scrutiny. We talk about the little things that can make coworkers miserable — including the timeless office debate over microwaving fish in the break room.Housing enters the conversation as we discuss squatters, rental properties, and some of the reasons landlords are becoming increasingly cautious about who they rent to.The weird news keeps coming when reports emerge of multiple people climbing out of manholes in broad daylight, creating what can only be described as a real-world Ninja Turtle moment.Crime makes an appearance with the theft of 10,000 bottles of bourbon — a heist impressive not only for its scale but for the fact that it happened in plain sight.Technology gets its turn when we ask a surprisingly modern question: exactly how much water does it take to extinguish a burning Cybertruck?Wildlife stories return once again. We talk about why feeding bears by hand is generally considered a terrible idea, along with growing concerns over the spread of screw worms — a pest that sounds every bit as unpleasant as its name suggests.The show takes a nostalgic detour as Puff, the Magic Dragon unexpectedly returns to the news more than sixty years after first becoming part of popular culture.Beauty trends, workplace survival, bourbon thefts, mutant worms, problem bears, and a dragon that refuses to disappear.All that and more on Episode 468 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/JD's Daily Country Podcast – Sladio Radiohttps://sladioradio.github.io/Podcast/Dan's Daily Music Podcast – The 8-Track Yearshttps://danmayson.github.io/JD/Follow The Slade and Mayson Show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week we bounce between privacy, loneliness, strange news, and a surprising amount of discussion about things that can hurt you.We begin with the revelation that Nicolas Cage was born Nicholas Kim Coppola and the long journey from famous family member to Hollywood icon. That leads into a broader discussion about identity and how some individuals have managed to make themselves surprisingly difficult to find by changing company names or altering records by only a single letter.Privacy becomes a recurring theme throughout the show. We talk about facial recognition technology, ways people attempt to avoid it, and how modern surveillance systems continue to expand into everyday life.Technology also comes under scrutiny as we discuss whether those long artificial fingernails might be less practical than advertised and whether bathroom hand dryers are really the improvement they claim to be.JD uncovers another collection of alligator stories, proving once again that Florida remains one of the most reliable sources of strange news in America.The conversation takes a turn as we discuss male loneliness. Are we o.k. with that?Education enters the discussion as we question whether a degree from Harvard carries the same weight it once did and whether prestige still guarantees opportunity.Relationships and modern culture also come up as we talk about a new venture from Pornhub aimed specifically at women, along with the story of a man who became so determined to find a partner that he purchased billboard advertising and built a website dedicated to the search.Health news makes an appearance with reports of a highly contagious vomiting virus making the rounds, while crime news brings us the story of an unfortunate individual whose name will likely make his prison sentence even more memorable.Travel and geography take us to Laos, where rainy seasons, caves, and difficult terrain create a world far removed from everyday suburban life.We also discuss why roller coasters remain firmly off our bucket lists, and why black mambas and bears are both excellent reasons to reconsider outdoor adventures.Food enters the conversation as it always does, including rising tomato prices and the growing list of products that seem to be quietly disappearing from grocery store shelves.Identity, privacy, relationships, dangerous animals, rising prices, and the continuing weirdness of modern life.All that and more on Episode 467 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode somehow manages to connect pink panthers, flooded robot cars, runaway zebras, and alligators… and honestly that’s only the beginning.We start close to home with the strange appearance of someone dressed as the Pink Panther wandering around Stafford County, Virginia, a story odd enough to make national news.Technology frustrations return as rideshare passengers are now being advised to photograph their vehicles before getting into an Uber or Lyft, partly because AI systems and automated reporting are creating new headaches for drivers and riders alike.Meanwhile in Lake Park, Florida, a man’s attempt to acquire Pokémon cards escalates badly enough to end in arrest.Self-driving technology takes another hit as Waymo vehicles reportedly struggle to recognize flooded roadways, which may become a growing problem both literally and financially.The nostalgia train rolls on as we wonder whether Pan American World Airways could somehow make a comeback, while also questioning whether Spirit Airlines can survive its own turbulence.We also discuss a troubling story involving a blind man attempting to purchase a car, and how badly that situation unfolded.The conversation drifts into aviation mysteries, including the realization that spectrograms can actually produce sound, and renewed curiosity surrounding unidentified objects previously shot down by military aircraft.Animals dominate much of the episode. A cat survives a 14-story fall with only minor injuries, a zebra named Ed causes chaos, migratory bird protections end up stopping vehicle movement, and JD uncovers what feels like an endless supply of stories involving alligators running wild across Florida.We also touch on growing concerns surrounding screw worms and invasive Asian tiger mosquitoes, reminders that nature still has plenty of unpleasant surprises left for humanity.Late-night television comes up as we mention Stephen Colbert appearing on a local Minnesota station shortly after his final show announcement, along with Paul McCartney making an appearance on his last show.Infrastructure problems make their way into the conversation as sinkholes near LaGuardia Airport briefly disrupt operations.And finally, Dan notices that after only a few days of rain, the hood latch on the Corolla is already beginning to rust, though admittedly the region probably needs the rain anyway.Pink Panthers, flooded robot cars, runaway animals, airline uncertainty, and technology struggling to keep up with reality.All that and more on Episode 466 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode bounces between nostalgia, technology, transportation disasters, and the strange realities of modern life.We begin with new TSA rules involving rotisserie chickens — because apparently even airport security now has opinions about poultry.From there, we talk about a man who quietly became a millionaire while continuing to live like a pauper, proving that sometimes wealth doesn’t look anything like people expect.Technology once again causes chaos as robots are reportedly being banned on certain planes, while Waymo continues making headlines for driverless cars behaving unpredictably.The show takes a nostalgic turn as we say goodbye to Schlitz and remember the legendary “cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger” routine connected to the late Sam Sianis.JD and Dan also reflect on simpler times — old beer parties, foods and treats that have disappeared over the years, and the strange realization that somehow both hosts are still alive after surviving all of it.Animals once again dominate the weird news cycle. A bear manages to get itself trapped inside an SUV, chickens spill across a roadway after a truck accident, goats appear in places goats absolutely should not be, and another story once again proves why dogs should not be allowed anywhere near driving.Modern delivery culture comes up as JD talks about adding pizza delivery driver to his bucket list, while the conversation drifts into the rise of DoorDash, Uber Eats, and vending machines behaving badly.We also touch on concerns from Fairfax County regarding what is on their phones.AI returns as a topic again, including discussions surrounding Figure AI and the growing push toward 24/7 robotic labor.Airport chickens, self-driving confusion, runaway livestock, disappearing foods, robot workers, and the continuing weirdness of modern life.All that and more on Episode 465 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

Whatdid we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, Mother’s Day kicks off the conversation — though JD quickly manages to steer things into strange territory with stories involving twins, in vitro situations, and the kind of conversations that somehow only happen on this show.From there, the randomness continues with reports of SpiritAirlines. Toys Magically appearing in places we haven't seen in decades, leading into a discussion about nostalgia and the oddly unforgettable chew of Bazooka Bubble Gum.AI once again proves that it may not be ready to run the worldjust yet, as we talk about systems confusing people’s identities and occasionally getting things “Unbearably” wrong. At the same time, AI is becoming increasingly aware of human emotions and behavior — which raises a few uncomfortable questions of its own.We also tackle one of life’s great mysteries:Why do certain objects inside the house simply vanish?Somewhere between missing items, rising gas prices, and theincreasingly ridiculous price of hamburgers, Dan now realizes the dishwasher may soon become the next household project.Meanwhile, the Corolla has officially transitioned from repairproject to art project now that the alternator saga finally appears to be over. (pictures on facebook)The conversation takes an unexpectedly thoughtful turn as we discuss unusual coffin designs. As well as stabilization systems coming out of Japan For the elderly.Religion and philosophy also enter the discussion, including the Catholic concept of purgatory and broader conversations about life, death, and what may — or may not — happen afterward.Other stories include a CPR instructor who unexpectedly had to use the very skills he teaches, along with a Scottish driver so over-the-top he sounds like he escaped from a Warner Bros. cartoon.It’s nostalgia, weird news, disappearing household objects, AIconfusion, strange philosophies, expensive hamburgers, and a Corolla slowly becoming performance art.All that and more on Episode 464 of The Slade and Mayson Show.Listen to the podcast version: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and SoundCloudMerch: The Slade and Mayson Show Merch StoreSponsor: Icey Somethin IceyMusic: Courtesy of DanoSongsMore from JD: Old-time country music daily on SladioJD's Sladio SoundCloudFollow the show:Facebook: The Slade and Mayson Show Facebook....and the link for Dirty Red: https://youtu.be/WOHjtLWtbuQ?si=YOQ-AOD0P-L7eemX

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, the saga continues… with the third alternator.Yes — Dan’s Corolla returns once again, now on alternator number three. At this point, it’s less a repair and more a long-running series.From there, things get a little unsettling as we talk about invasive jumping worms — poisonous, aggressive, and apparently capable of multiplying if you try to squish them. Not exactly something you want showing up in your yard.The conversation shifts into biology with a discussion about the thymus — that small, often overlooked organ behind the breastbone — and how AI is starting to uncover new insights into its role in overall health.JD shares a small victory, working through some computer issues on his own, proving that sometimes persistence still beats calling for help.Technology in cars takes another step forward — or sideways — as we talk about new systems that include cameras inside the vehicle, not just outside, raising fresh questions about privacy.We also revisit the curious case of Red Lobster, which has now gone through Chapter 11 more than once — with “endless shrimp” playing a surprisingly large role in its financial struggles.The weird news keeps rolling. JD brings up a town with a dog serving as mayor, an emu on the run, and a bizarre 911 call involving a theft that makes you question what qualifies as an emergency anymore.AI continues to expand into unexpected territory — including subscription-based bots that will walk you through breaking up with someone, removing yet another uncomfortable human interaction from real life.We also talk about Bryan Johnson and how AI has dramatically reduced the cost of his longevity experiments, taking something that once cost millions down to something almost anyone could try.At the same time, there’s a noticeable shift happening: younger generations are starting to step back from constant tech use, possibly reacting to how overwhelming it’s become.Food makes its usual appearance, including an ice cream shop in Angier, North Carolina offering over 130 flavors — including a couple that require signed waivers.We close with a powerful note on AI in healthcare, including its growing ability to detect pancreatic cancer earlier than traditional methods — one of the more promising uses of the technology.Three alternators, invasive worms, AI life coaching, privacy concerns, and a world that keeps getting stranger and smarter at the same time.All that and more on Episode 463 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, we bounce between dating, déjà vu, and the usual strange mix of news and observations.We start with everyday life — including interactions with neighbors — before taking a nostalgic turn back to the 1960s with the TV show Diver Dan, and somehow connecting that to Danny Bonaduce. JD shares a personal story involving Bonaduce and another on-air personality, Terry Young.The tone shifts briefly with a story about a 91-year-old woman who required a wellness check — a reminder that sometimes real life doesn’t wrap things up neatly.Animals once again take center stage. Black bears continue to show up in places they shouldn’t — including stores and trees — while river otters are making headlines for more aggressive behavior than expected. And yes, we revisit the age-old question: why did the chicken cross the road?Dan revisits his Corolla… and the alternator… and then the alternator again… and then somehow the alternator again — proving that some stories just refuse to end.From there, the conversation turns toward dating and modern expectations. Does going on a date imply you’re heading toward something more? Is eating a chicken breast on a first date a red flag? And how much of dating is assumption versus reality?Appearance and health trends come up as we talk about Botox — literally derived from botulism — along with sunscreen, fitness influences like Jane Fonda, and the ongoing pressure to modify appearance. We also touch on Cardi B and the broader trend of body modification in modern culture.Costs are rising everywhere — including condom prices — which doesn’t go unnoticed.Technology and privacy return as we talk about Mark Zuckerberg and increasing AI-driven surveillance, including how that might affect everyday employees.We also discuss unusual and risky situations involving packages shipped through the mail, including illegal contents and the consequences of waiting for something that shouldn’t have been sent in the first place.Weeds, weird solutions, and questionable advice round things out, along with a mention of changing policies around cannabis classification following actions from Donald Trump.Alternators, animals, dating confusion, rising costs, and a world that keeps getting a little stranger.All that and more on Episode 462 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week moves quickly between real-life frustrations, seasonal hazards, and a growing dependence on technology.We start with Dan’s Corolla and a lesson in “you get what you pay for.” A dirt-cheap alternator seemed like a win, until it wasn’t, proving once again that sometimes the bargain ends up costing more in the long run.Spring makes its presence known in the worst way possible, as Dan describes trying to walk the dog while breathing in heavy pollen, jokingly comparing it to inhaling airborne plant “contributions,” with predictable results.Technology continues to behave unpredictably, including stories of self-driving cars treating train tracks as viable routes, a reminder that autonomy isn’t always the same as intelligence.JD checks in with a doctor regarding his prosthetic leg, while also imagining what would happen if 50 sheep wandered into a shopping center.With 420 Day around the corner, we talk about how drivers in Virginia handle mixing cannabis with driving, and how that doesn’t tend to go well.The strange news keeps rolling. We cover a California suspect accused of stealing Lego sets in a unique way, ongoing scams involving staged “bear attacks” on luxury cars, and a mysterious golden toilet appearing in Culpeper.Hollywood and AI collide as we discuss the late Val Kilmer appearing in a new film through AI-assisted techniques, raising questions about what it means to be an “actor” after death.We also touch on a New York cemetery dealing with an infestation problem, not the usual kind, and an MIT researcher experimenting with giving an AI companion a physical form.Space travel gets a reality check as we talk about one of the earliest problems on a lunar mission: the toilet not working, proving that even the most advanced technology still struggles with the basics.Customer service takes another strange turn as a government phone system routes callers to “press 2 for Spanish,” only to connect them to an AI agent with a Spanish accent.We revisit the now-infamous 13-ton Kit Kat theft, and take a look at how millions of Americans are beginning to rely on AI for personal health advice, a trend that may or may not end well.We also mention Sam Altman and the return of his “orb” concept, a new approach to identity verification that aims to replace CAPTCHAs.As always, the episode wraps with music tied to the day, this time celebrating National Amaretto Day, and Dan continues his ongoing experiment of releasing each episode into the wild on a single-track CD.Cheap parts, bad pollen, questionable decisions, AI everywhere, and a world that keeps getting just a little stranger.All that and more on Episode 461 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode covers everything from local mishaps to strange discoveries — both on land and under the sea.JD starts with a story from a James Madison celebration in Orange that didn’t exactly go as planned, including a friend taking an unfortunate fall. That leads into a broader reflection on visiting historical places like Montpelier and how sometimes you just get the feeling you don’t quite belong.Dan shares an ongoing experiment. Burning each episode onto a CD and leaving it in random “take a book, leave a book” boxes. Episode 459 has already been released into the wild, placed among mostly religious books, and Episode 460 is next.Animals once again dominate the conversation. From cows casually blocking traffic and refusing to move, to dogs learning how to ring doorbells and play their own version of ding-dong-ditch, it’s clear animals are adapting to human behavior faster than expected. JD also notes that his social feeds are full of animal conflict videos, likely influenced by the kinds of content he’s already watching.Technology and science take a turn into the unusual. We talk about experimental vehicle interiors made with artificial “skin” that reacts to sunlight, turning red under UV exposure. We also touch on a zero-day AI-related discovery involving Anthropic and emerging tools like Mythos that are beginning to impact businesses in unexpected ways.There’s also a moment of modern chaos as JD shares a story about someone getting locked out of their house mid-Zoom interview, and having to continue the call on their phone while pretending everything was fine.Science revisits a familiar topic as new research suggests blue light may not be as disruptive to sleep as previously thought, something Dan has suspected for a while.The ocean delivers one of the strangest discoveries of the week, as an expedition near the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument uncovers what looks like a “yellow brick road” beneath the sea.Food safety enters the conversation with a recall involving dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets sold by Walmart due to unsafe levels of lead.We also revisit the ongoing debate of repair versus replacement, as Dan compares his own approach to someone who poured thousands of dollars into an old bike that still isn’t worth much more than it was to begin with.There’s a brief dive into intelligence and surveillance, including discussion of techniques reportedly used by the Central Intelligence Agency, and how some of those ideas feel like they’ve come straight out of science fiction.AI returns once again, with a strange example of how easily systems can be misled, including a case where someone convinced ChatGPT that time had passed differently than it actually had.And of course, JD’s “girlfriend” makes another appearance, still not officially his girlfriend.Cows in the road, dogs at the doorbell, strange tech, ocean mysteries, and a podcast quietly being distributed one CD at a time.All that and more on Episode 460 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode is all over the board — in the best possible way.We start with animals behaving like humans… and sometimes better than humans. A dog manages to dial 911 after stepping on a phone, leaving dispatchers listening to heavy breathing and confusion before sending help. Meanwhile, a golf course in Florida comes to a halt when an alligator decides to take up residence near the ninth hole.In a rare bit of good news, pandas are apparently becoming more… socially engaged, showing signs of natural interaction instead of relying solely on artificial breeding methods.From there, we move into everyday frustrations as Dan talks about trying to track the price of flake salt on Google — only to find the tracking alerts won’t go away even after being turned off.With it being Easter, we talk about putting together Easter baskets — even for adult children — because some traditions are still worth keeping. That leads into a side conversation about “grass” in more than one sense of the word, including JD receiving a very carefully cultivated horticultural gift.AI continues to creep into everything. We talk about strange language showing up in code — words like “razzmatazzing” and “hullabalooning” — along with fake AI-generated news claiming that William Shatner had passed away.Navigation technology fails again as a family in Michigan blindly follows GPS directions straight into a lake.We revisit the massive European Kit Kat heist involving 12 tons of chocolate, and somehow circle back to car sales — including JD once selling a manual transmission truck to someone who couldn’t drive stick… while not fully knowing how to drive it himself.Fast food frustrations come up as we talk about how something as simple as missing dipping sauce can escalate into full-blown arguments.The weird news keeps rolling: a tofu spill in Missouri that created a terrible stench, a prank edit on Google Maps labeling the White House caller ID as “Epstein’s Island,” and rumors about Celine Dion returning to perform again.We wrap things up on a truly strange note — mayonnaise being classified as a musical instrument because it can alter sound.Somewhere along the way, we also mark First Contact Day — and Dan fully expects a copyright strike for playing Artie Shaw’s Man from Mars.Dogs dialing 911, chocolate heists, AI hallucinations, GPS disasters, and mayonnaise music.All that and more on Episode 459 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode moves between personal reflection, cultural trends, and the strange reality of modern life.We start with a discussion about acceptance — specifically, JD talking about the moment he finally let go of his hair and embraced being bald. It turns into a broader conversation about aging, identity, and the things we eventually stop fighting.That leads into the upside of staying single, as both Dan and JD admit there’s a certain freedom in setting your own schedule — even if that means getting up at 4:00 a.m. for a podcast or going to bed early without explanation.From there, we shift into modern appearance trends, including the rise of “side butt,” Brazilian butt lifts, and what’s now being called “Ozempic butt.” We also touch on the growing normalization of cosmetic procedures — including coworkers bonding over lunchtime Botox sessions.We take a step back and reflect on something deeper: how humans are never satisfied. From the first color televisions and flip phones to today’s smartphones, we’re constantly impressed — and then immediately unimpressed. Even older AI-generated content that once seemed incredible now feels primitive just a couple of years later.AI comes up again as we talk about how much it has improved over time, including a look back at a commercial Dan created using ChatGPT a few years ago — impressive then, but noticeably rough by today’s standards.We also talk about the increasing reliance on AI tools in everyday life, balanced with an awareness of how quickly expectations rise alongside the technology.Weird news makes its usual appearance. We cover stolen Kit Kat bars in Europe, an opossum causing chaos in a gift shop, and a horse wandering into a department store — all reminders that when humans expand into animal territory, strange encounters are inevitable.Health and safety come up with a story about the Food and Drug Administration cracking down on a product called “honey” that secretly contained erectile dysfunction medication.We also touch on a strange visual moment involving Melania Trump appearing alongside a humanoid robot — and how, impressive as it looked, other countries may already be further ahead in that space.The episode includes a brief nod to National Nevada Day, along with some music tied to the occasion.And finally, we talk about podcasting itself — and how many smaller creators are walking away. For shows like ours, it’s never been about the money. It’s a labor of love, something we do because we enjoy it — and because showing up every week still matters.Baldness, beauty trends, AI evolution, weird news, and the simple reason we keep doing this.All that and more on Episode 458 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, food once again takes center stage — along with the consequences that come with it.JD talks about trying to get his blood sugar under control, aiming to bring it down from the 8 range into something healthier. Like many people, his diet has leaned heavily on cheap, carb-heavy foods like pasta, which leads into a broader conversation about how eating “affordably” often works against long-term health.Dan shares his own experiment with raw garlic each morning — not without side effects. Between the lingering smell and the sulfur compounds working their way through the body, it’s not exactly neighbor-friendly, even if the dog takes the blame.That leads into a discussion about using AI for practical guidance, as JD turns to ChatGPT for help figuring out what he should and shouldn’t be eating.Food comes back again as Dan prepares to take black garlic out of the crock pot after a long process, continuing the theme of experimenting with healthier (and more interesting) alternatives.Outside the kitchen, JD observes that some things never change — including social dynamics — noting that even in a 55+ community, gossip is still alive and well.We briefly touch on entertainment, including a new UK version of Saturday Night Live endorsed by Lorne Michaels, featuring a very British-style cold open set inside 10 Downing Street.The weather continues its identity crisis, bouncing between snow, rain, heat, and cold, while places like California take a beating. At the same time, pollen season kicks in, leaving both Dan and JD dealing with the joys of seasonal allergies.AI makes another appearance with reports of systems from Alibaba experimenting in ways that raised eyebrows, along with ongoing concerns about how autonomous systems behave outside controlled environments.That ties into a discussion about Waymo, where it turns out the cars may not be quite as autonomous as advertised — with remote assistance potentially nudging vehicles when needed. Which raises a simple question: if something goes wrong, who’s actually responsible?Dan shares a trip down to Richmond for an Irish festival, as well as a bizarre legal story involving a German tourist attempting to sue both a taco shop and a Walmart after a rough visit to the New York area.Health concerns return as we talk about rising cholesterol levels in younger people — with some reports suggesting medication may be needed as early as age 30 — likely tied to the increasing reliance on fast food and meals on the go.Garlic, pasta, AI diet advice, questionable autonomy, weird lawsuits, and the ongoing struggle to eat well in a world built for convenience.All that and more on Episode 457 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s episode travels from cargo ships and oyster bars to black holes and artificial intelligence.We start with the strange story of a red fox that somehow boarded a cargo ship in England and ended up making the entire journey across the Atlantic before being discovered in the United States — proof that sometimes wildlife travel is more adventurous than human vacations.Closer to home, JD and Dan talk about their weekly routine of meeting up before the show so Dan can help JD log music for his country podcast, Sladio, which is linked below.History pops up as the conversation turns to entertainment in the early 20th century, including the once-common use of blackface in film and stage performances and how the 1927 movie The Jazz Singer fits into that complicated history.Of course, March weather makes an appearance again as temperatures swing wildly between winter, spring, and what occasionally feels like summer.From there, the show veers into odd news stories — including a couple who decided to make butter by running with containers of cream on a track, and a man attempting to smuggle ants out of Kenya.Politics takes a strange turn when we talk about a Texas mayoral candidate who legally changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else.”Air travel gets a rare moment of good news as United Airlines announces it will begin enforcing rules against passengers blasting music without headphones.The show briefly goes cosmic as JD talks about black holes interacting with neutron stars while Dan brings up the possibility of planetary collisions — the sort of discussion that might make astrophysicists twitch.Artificial intelligence returns as a major topic. Researchers at the University of Southern California have demonstrated AI models that can recognize gaps in their own knowledge and attempt to research the correct answer.Meanwhile, the tech industry continues to shift alliances as Microsoft maintains its partnership with OpenAI while also embracing work with Anthropic. At the same time, Meta Platforms faces massive infrastructure spending tied to AI development.We also share one of the most wholesome stories of the week: a man named Jimmy Rush celebrating his 80th birthday at Wintzell’s Oyster House in Alabama with his 99-year-old father — honoring a decades-old sign promising free oysters to any man over 80 who arrives with his father.And somewhere along the way we talk about the unlikely career evolution of Ice-T — once known for controversial music and now widely recognized for playing a police officer on television.Foxes on ships, butter on running tracks, strange elections, cosmic collisions, and AI learning how to admit when it’s wrong.All that and more on Episode 456 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 Sladiohttps://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/Follow the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?March arrives, and with it comes a surprising amount of reflection.JD officially names his broadcast space Studio 116, marking a new chapter as the calendar flips to the first day of March. The changing season brings reminders of time passing, including news that guitarist Travis Wammack has passed away at age 81 — another signal that many of the musicians who shaped the rock era of the ’60s and ’70s are slowly leaving us.Dan faces a practical dilemma involving his Corolla: whether it’s worth installing a new transmission or finally moving on. That leads into broader conversations about car ownership, maintenance, and how younger drivers increasingly treat cars like smartphones — if it starts and has power, everything must be fine. Gone are the days when drivers learned to check fluids, change tires, or understand how machines actually work.Technology frustrations continue as Dan worries he may have clicked a questionable link and possibly invited a virus onto his computer.JD leans into March traditions — leprechauns, St. Patrick’s Day memories, and the unusual story of playing a character named Bob O’Brien, a casting decision that still raises eyebrows. March also means brackets, basketball, and what JD jokingly calls “vasectomy season,” when sports fans schedule procedures just in time to recover on the couch while watching March Madness and their tournament picks collapse almost immediately.Seasonal reality sets in with the return of pothole season, while a recent planetary alignment technically occurred overhead — even if buildings and trees prevented anyone from actually seeing it.Health experiments enter the mix as Dan begins testing garlic and lemon juice as a possible cholesterol strategy.AI returns as a major topic. According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, billions invested in artificial intelligence have so far produced little measurable economic return. Meanwhile, a strange incident involving network-connected robotic vacuums saw one individual accidentally take control of roughly 7,000 units at once.More concerning are AI war-game simulations showing that autonomous systems chose nuclear escalation more than half the time — a reminder that intelligence and judgment are not always the same thing.It’s a conversation about aging technology, aging rock stars, changing seasons, changing drivers, and a future arriving faster than anyone expected.All that and more on Episode 454 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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week turns into one of our most AI-heavy conversations yet — though it begins, as many stories do, with JD making a questionable beverage decision.A friend dropped off eggnog even though JD isn’t much of a drinker. Normally he prefers herbal relaxation (If you know what I mean), so the eggnog was placed safely in the freezer… or at least that was the plan. Instead, JD sampled the frozen concoction, moved the remainder to the refrigerator, and later — feeling thirsty — drank far more than intended. The result: unexpected inebriation and a very sluggish morning, not unlike the infamous late-night Diet Mountain Dew incident from weeks earlier.The conversation drifts into altered states of mind, including discussions about psychedelic experiences, the idea that magic mushrooms can “reset” your thinking, and JD’s long-standing ban from a particular town following youthful experimentation.AI quickly takes center stage. We talk about a realtor who used ChatGPT-style prompts to generate listing images and accidentally published one featuring a demonic-looking figure appearing in a bathroom mirror — proof that AI sometimes adds details nobody asked for.We also discuss reports that Mark Zuckerberg is exploring AI systems capable of continuing to post and interact online long after a person has died, raising questions about digital legacy and whether your social media presence might someday outlive you.The show takes a humorous turn when Dan shares how AI helped imagine a hypothetical partner — which then inspired JD to ask for one for himself. The experiment quickly escalated into attempts to generate a group photo featuring two real people and two entirely fictional companions.Influencer culture gets its moment as we discuss a beauty influencer who lost over 140,000 followers after viewers discovered her appearance relied heavily on filters. JD points out that, in many ways, that’s just modern catfishing with better software.We also talk about one of the easiest ways to tell when AI may not actually know an answer: when it starts confidently responding and then quietly backpedals moments later.And in a rare technological victory, Dan shares the success story of finally resurrecting a generator that had sat unused in a garage for nearly nine years, clogged with old fuel and varnish — brought back to life with a little persistence and AI-assisted troubleshooting.Eggnog mistakes, psychedelic memories, AI companions, digital immortality, influencer illusions, and a long-dead generator roaring back to life.All that and more on Episode 453 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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, the show starts with frustration on four wheels.Chris talks about trying to secure an old beater car, only to have it sold out from under him after waiting for snow to clear. That leads into a rant about locking lug nuts — a solution to a problem that rarely exists unless you live in very specific parts of the country.From there, we drift into technology doing what it does best: misunderstanding humans. We talk about how AI and automated systems still struggle with live voices, misdirecting calls and confidently sending people in the wrong direction. The new Alexa app comes up again, including voice-command quirks and Alexa’s increasingly snarky tone.Language takes a fun detour as we play with the word rapscallion — and whether it sounds more like a troublemaker or a technical culinary term involving onions and rapping. That opens the door to older words that seem to be quietly disappearing, including brouhaha and even bah humbug.The mood shifts as we talk about home surveillance cameras and how they’re increasingly being used by companies like Flock Safety. We discuss how this has gone far enough that Amazon has discontinued its association with Flock. We also wrestle with the uneasy reality of cameras inside homes — sometimes used for entertainment, sometimes for safety — and whether that level of monitoring starts to feel dystopian.At the same time, we acknowledge that cameras can also protect people. A Dunkin’ Donuts manager avoided serious legal trouble after video footage showed what really happened during an incident — proof that surveillance can cut both ways.JD’s “girlfriend next door” makes another appearance — still not actually his girlfriend — but continuing to get him into trouble anyway. Chris shares a photo of crocuses breaking through the ground, officially calling nonsense on Groundhog Phil and pushing back on the idea that winter is still hanging on.The episode closes with a bigger question: are we living in a simulated reality, or possibly multiple universes at once? With cameras interpreting the world, AI interpreting the cameras, and technology creating believable realities on demand, it starts to feel less far-fetched than it once did. We talk about AI instantly generating a realistic video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt getting into a rooftop fight — and why that has Hollywood more than a little uneasy.Beater cars, disappearing words, surveillance culture, simulated reality, and the quiet feeling that we’re watching ourselves more than ever.All that and more on Episode 452 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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, we start with cars — specifically how expensive they’ve become, and how buying a new one now feels closer to purchasing a small house than a vehicle. With average new car prices pushing toward the $50,000–$60,000 range, we talk about how disconnected the math has become. Ford’s announcement that it plans to release five vehicles under $40,000 somehow doesn’t feel comforting — because $40,000 is still a lot of money.That discussion takes a turn when we dig up an old recording from The Slade and Mayson Show archives, revisiting the time JD’s car was repossessed. The irony is impossible to ignore: JD used to sell cars for a living, yet somehow still ended up on the wrong side of the math. The car didn’t last long before it was taken back, and the story still holds up as both painful and funny.That leads into a comparison of car philosophies. Dan admits to being perfectly happy driving cheap “beater” cars and would rather replace a transmission than buy a new vehicle — because even major repairs are still cheaper than a monthly car payment.From there, the episode wanders into animal chaos. We talk about Dolly the runaway donkey giving Michigan locals a hard time, snakes that can swallow entire animals whole, and the strange effort underway to bring the Tasmanian devil back from extinction.Dan goes on a short rant about people oversharing on Facebook — especially when it involves family and children — and how easy it is to forget that once something is posted, it’s permanent.AI shows up in small but telling ways. We talk about a glitch that caused AI to miscount the number of “R”s in the word strawberry (now reportedly fixed), Wall Street losing roughly $400 billion in AI-related stocks, and Google’s Gemini “Genie” project that can generate game environments — but only for 60 seconds, and only at a steep monthly cost.The absurdity continues with a Florida driver who hit 107 mph trying to reach Little Caesars before closing time.Dan adds another technology gripe: email platforms like Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail need to stop moving buttons and changing interfaces. JD adds that Facebook has quietly moved or removed the birthdays and anniversaries calendar, meaning he’s officially done trying to keep track.We also pause for a serious moment, marking the anniversary of JD losing his leg. On February 8, 2014, he went into the hospital after struggling for hours just to drink a cup of coffee — knowing something was very wrong.We close by noting the passing of another rock icon and quietly wondering how Keith Richards and Mick Jagger continue to defy time.Expensive cars, bad math, runaway animals, AI confusion, oversharing online, and technology that won’t sit still.All that and more on Episode 451 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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, the show begins with JD’s quiet 55-and-older apartment life… which is no longer quiet.A neighbor two doors down has slowly become part of his daily orbit, much to his annoyance and everyone else’s amusement. What started as a simple “hello” during move-in has evolved into door knocks, smoke-alarm welfare checks, and now JD being referred to from behind the door as “my boyfriend.” The latest chapter involves JD running out of sugar, getting offered Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup as a coffee substitute, and then doing the polite Midwestern thing: buying her a replacement bottle the next day. Naturally, we predict church invitations and the inevitable Valentine’s Day gift obligation.From there, we drift into winter realities — the word “ice” means very different things depending on whether you live on the East Coast or in Minnesota — and we briefly touch on the strange existence of a Melania documentary that almost nobody has actually seen, for reasons that may be self-explanatory.Food and cost complaints make their usual appearance, as Chris admits he can no longer afford to roast his own coffee or live the green-bean lifestyle the way he once did, thanks to rising prices and tariff-related weirdness.JD shares a painful middle-of-the-night mistake: reaching for water and accidentally chugging half a bottle of Diet Mountain Dew, leading to trapped gas, unwanted caffeine, and a long night of regret.Tech news stays weird. We talk about AI still occasionally failing basic math, the habit-forming face filters that Meta knowingly kept pushing despite their effect on women’s morale, and a coffee pod recall where “decaf” turned out to be very much not decaf.Driving culture gets a sharp critique as we discuss Toyota recalling thousands of vehicles because drivers apparently can’t be trusted to turn their heads anymore — relying entirely on displays that don’t always show what’s behind them. Shameful.We also get into the future of AI entertainment, including Google Genie potentially building games on the fly, the rise of multi-agent “Reddit-style” systems, tools like Clawdbot, and whatever “MoltBook” is supposed to be becoming.We wrap up with the important cultural marker of the week: National Dark Chocolate Day.Neighbors, syrup, caffeine disasters, AI agents, bad drivers, and the usual modern absurdity.All that and more on Episode 450 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

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, the conversation starts with snow on the way — the kind of weather that makes everyone quietly prepare for the power to go out, whether they admit it or not. With the forecast looming, we talk about family logistics, including my daughter bringing the cat up to Fredericksburg from Richmond for safekeeping, because some places lose electricity faster than others.AI makes a brief appearance, not in the usual “singularity is coming” way, but in a more human one: how these systems are starting to think about vulnerable users. We talk about the idea of an AI needing guardrails — like how you wouldn’t tell a seven-year-old bluntly that the dog died, but instead steer them back toward their parents. That leads into Anthropic’s “constitutional” framework for Claude, and the growing awareness that these tools have to handle people gently, not just answer questions.From there, things drift into employment disasters and the surprisingly easy ways people manage to get themselves fired. JD shares a story from his radio days involving a T-shirt that was… not workplace appropriate. We also talk about some of the dumbest things people have ever posted online, including the nurse who thought it was a good idea to twerk in front of an ICU patient — and then upload it.The theme continues with gross-out internet behavior, including the infamous Burger King employee who put his feet in the salad bin on his way out the door. Which is exactly as disgusting as it sounds.Then comes the real villain of the episode: Domino’s.Dan goes on a full coupon-and-gift-card rabbit hole, trying to place a simple order that turns into an infuriating algorithmic trap. Gift cards apply… but only if you pay the remaining balance with another gift card. Coupons don’t work the way they should. The website fights you. The app is worse. Every attempt to get the total under $50 somehow ends up back over $50 again. In the end, the solution is the most human one possible: forget it — Walmart frozen pizzas win.We also talk about modern tech confusion in public, including the gas station customer who kept tapping her credit card against the screen instead of using the actual chip reader, assuming the LCD would somehow magically scan it. People aren’t reading — they’re just expecting technology to guess what they mean.We wrap things up with the important cultural news of the week: it’s National Irish Coffee Day, and somehow that alone is enough to fill out an hour.Snow, AI guardrails, firing stories, online stupidity, pizza rage, and Irish coffee.All that and more on Episode 449 of The Slade and Mayson Show.🎶 Love old-time country music?Check out Sladio, JD’s daily old-time country podcast:https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/🎧 SoundCloud:https://soundcloud.com/norblits/🛍️ Merch:https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2🎵 Music by Dano:https://danosongs.com/📱 Follow the show:https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonhttps://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week’s show starts with technology failing in the most basic way possible: phones. We talk about the Verizon outage that left millions of people stuck in SOS mode, unable to make calls, text, or do much of anything—right when everyone depends on their phones the most. That leads into stories about bad hardware, including a phone that had to be returned because you literally couldn’t hear anyone on the other end, and a bizarre Nigerian phone call with a phone number so long it looked more like a serial code than a call.From there, we drift into food, as we often do. We joke about a “new” food pyramid that’s basically the old one flipped upside down, encouraging more meat and dairy, and JD shares a story from his youth about early cell phones—back when having one made you that guy. Cheap eating also comes up, with JD explaining how noodles and chicken soup can be stretched into a full, respectable meal, while I once again get called out for being, well… economical.Last week’s bear story gets an update when we learn the same 550-pound crawlspace bear apparently packed up and moved next door. Because of course it did. Animal news continues with a strange situation in St. Louis involving monkeys—possibly four of them, possibly one extremely busy monkey seen in multiple places. Nobody seems entirely sure, which only makes it better.We also make a small but satisfying automotive discovery: my Corolla does have cruise control—it just needs the steering-column stalk installed. Proof that sometimes the feature you want is already there, hiding in plain sight.Technology reenters the conversation with frustrations over the redesigned Alexa app and the growing sense that everything—apps, devices, even things you already own—now wants a subscription. That leads naturally into AI, including a discussion about whether a system that can recite books verbatim is demonstrating impressive memory or quietly stepping into copyright trouble. Oops.We also touch on new AI tools, including a program called “Cowork” tied to Claude Code, and whether it’s worth experimenting with for building simple software projects. Finally, we revisit recent concerns about AI-induced psychosis, which—after closer inspection—turns out to be less about AI itself and more about the humans using it.It’s another episode full of tech annoyances, strange news updates, everyday discoveries, and the kind of conversations that bounce effortlessly from cell towers to monkeys to soup.All that and more on Episode 448 of The Slade and Mayson Show.🎶 Love old-time country music?Check out Sladio, JD’s daily old-time country podcast:https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/🎧 Prefer SoundCloud?https://soundcloud.com/norblits/🛍️ Merch:https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2🎵 Music by Dano:https://danosongs.com/📱 Follow the show:https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonhttps://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, we bounce between everyday annoyances, strange nostalgia, and the growing feeling that technology is quietly changing the rules while nobody’s really asking for permission.We start with the realization that even televisions now seem to require subscriptions, from Roku and beyond, and how that creeping model mirrors what’s happening everywhere else. From there, the conversation turns reflective as we talk about retirement—anticipation, uncertainty, and the suspicion that the rules may change right when you finally get there.Nostalgia makes an appearance in unexpected ways. Nobody wants 8-tracks anymore (except the people who really do), and we talk about aging icons, longevity, and cultural figures who seem to stick around far longer than logic suggests. We also touch on how easily stories about celebrities and public figures can blur into misinformation if no one stops to sanity-check them.Then things get weird—in the way only real news can. Babies are getting bigger (including a 10-pound newborn), while in California a 550-pound bear spent a month living beneath a couple’s crawl space before animal control finally intervened. Yes, that actually happened.Food history takes a hard left turn with a discussion of the infamous 1999 “popcorn sandwich” involving Worcestershire sauce and sardines (which deserves to stay in the past), along with a rundown of strange foods people used to eat that have thankfully fallen out of favor—cornmeal mush, pan-fried liver, squirrel, and more.We also reflect on the passing of Sidney Kibrick, the last surviving member of the Little Rascals gang, remembered for playing “Woim,” the Brooklyn-ized sidekick to Butch. It’s a moment that leads into a broader conversation about aging, memory, and what gets preserved versus forgotten.That theme continues with the passing of Bob Weir, co-founder and rhythm guitarist of the Grateful Dead, who died at age 78. His family announced that he passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after a battle with cancer and subsequent lung issues.As always, AI finds its way into the discussion. We talk about claims that we’re nearing a technological “singularity,” the idea that retirement itself may become obsolete, and whether trusting AI for health guidance might become the first step before ever calling a doctor. We also touch on the growing concern that people will soon arrive at medical appointments armed with AI-generated diagnoses and half-understood terminology.It’s a mix of technology, aging, media, nostalgia, and the kind of absurd real-world stories that feel fake—but aren’t.All that and more on Episode 447 of The Slade and Mayson Show.🎶 Love old-time country music?Check out Sladio, JD’s daily old-time country podcast:⁠https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/⁠🎧 Prefer SoundCloud?⁠https://soundcloud.com/norblits/⁠🛍️ Merch:⁠https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2⁠🎵 Music by Dano:⁠https://danosongs.com/⁠📱 Follow the show:⁠https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmayson⁠⁠https://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson⁠

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?This week, we bounce between nostalgia, technology, and the strange places where the two collide.We talk about the passing of Bridget Bordeaux, the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, and the ongoing miracle that Keith Richards continues to defy biology. JD is fascinated by Facebook’s obsession with “then and now” celebrity morphs—and what that says about how we process aging, fame, and memory.From there, things get practical (and a little goofy). We debate the pros and cons of owning older cars, including the joy of immediately returning to the mechanic after a “completed” repair. We also cover the very real challenge of owning an extended-cab F-150 that apparently requires forest-adjacent parking just to exist in public.Other stops along the way include:Why New Year’s resolutions rarely survive JanuaryWhat just entered the public domain—and why that mattersThe 82-year-old Meijer employee whose life changed after TikTok and GoFundMe stepped inA Fabergé egg pendant worth thousands… that had to be recovered the hard wayWhy you shouldn’t treat ChatGPT like a vault for personal secretsA New York restaurant welcoming diners and their AI companions—no judgmentAI discovering new MS subtypes that could improve personalized treatmentDoctors bracing for patients who arrive armed with AI-generated diagnoses and half-remembered LatinIt’s tech, culture, aging, money, and everyday absurdity—served without pretending we have it all figured out.All that and more on Episode 446 of The Slade and Mayson Show.🎶 Love old-time country music?Check out Sladio, JD’s daily old-time country podcast:https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/🎧 Prefer SoundCloud?https://soundcloud.com/norblits/🛍️ Merch:https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2🎵 Music by Dano:https://danosongs.com/📱 Follow the show:https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonhttps://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show?We cover the growing wave of AI-generated content flooding the internet, including why nearly 20% of new YouTube uploads are now AI-created and what that means for creators and viewers alike. We also look at real-world AI uses that actually make sense — like AI-assisted telehealth — and whether the AI stock boom could be due for a correction that affects everyday retirement accounts.Then we pivot to the holidays, because of course we do.This week’s topics include:Qwen, Alibaba’s new AI models, and why “AI from China” isn’t automatically bad or is it?YouTube’s AI content problem and the rise of low-effort “AI slop”AI-assisted healthcare that could actually save time and moneyToyota hybrid recalls and the advice to “just park it until February”Flight cancellations from Northeast winter stormsOvernight turkeys, candle fires, falling Christmas trees, and dogs eating presentsA $1.7B Powerball winner — and JD’s annual lottery traditionNew Year’s plans (spoiler: none)Why the best time to retire is...All that and more on Episode 445 of The Slade and Mayson Show.🎶 Love old-time country music?Check out Sladio, JD’s daily old-time country podcast:https://soundcloud.com/sladio-539214100/🎧 Prefer SoundCloud?https://soundcloud.com/norblits/🛍️ Merch:https://teespring.com/stores/the-slade-and-mayson-show-2🎵 Music by Dano:https://danosongs.com/📱 Follow the show:https://www.facebook.com/sladeandmaysonhttps://twitter.com/SladeAndMayson

What did we get into this week?JD talked about the very last SMO. We covered Christmas tree trends (including the oddly popular “no decorations at all” approach), coffee flavors and nostalgia, and the Mayo Clinic experimenting with smartwatches designed to predict temper tantrums in children — which raises more questions than answers.
