The Slade and Mayson Show

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show ? This week begins with weather, the apparent end of summer and the possibility that winter may be waiting just around the corner. Then the animals take over. A raccoon wanders into a church during Mass, a very large tortoise makes a painfully slow break for freedom, and flooding near the Jersey Shore apparently puts one ocean resident...

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show ? This week begins with one of those increasingly familiar signs of getting older: What day is it? When you produce enough shows ahead of time, apparently Sunday can become Monday, and at one point even the year itself becomes negotiable. From there, we move into health, cholesterol and one of Dan’s latest experiments involving olive oi...

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show ? Dan and JD are back, and this week we finally get a little more of Dan’s Canadian adventure. What was it actually like crossing the border, driving through Quebec, dealing with French everywhere, stopping at Tim Hortons and seeing how Canadian stores differ from what we’re used to in the United States? And after spending some time nor...

What did we talk about this week on The Slade and Mayson Show ? Well...we tried to do a show on Sunday. We really did. Everything was going along just fine until Dan's faithful old audio mixer—after years of quietly doing exactly what it was supposed to do—suddenly made a few strange noises and died right in the middle of the show. The irony was not lost on JD. After all, it wasn't that long ago t...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 intelligenc...

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 t...

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...

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, mosqui...

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...

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 sched...

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...

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...

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. Techno...

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 conti...

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 pla...

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 multip...

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 Bonadu...

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...

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 Mo...

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...

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.
