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.

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.

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 veh...

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.

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.
