The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/07/05

The SCOTUS weighs in on websites, I count down the jobs whose purposes I don't understand, and I discuss how we reduce most things in life to key words or ideas, and then never revisit them. Am I rambling? Maybe, maybe not. Come find out.

2023/06/28

I just got back from Colorado, which included a road trip through Texas and a stop at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, where I got to help a guy light a fire. Also, Russia has an afternoon coup that ended with all the excitement of a baby shower (read: none). Also also, people seem to be making a lot of submarine jokes lately. I bet I have an opinion.

People are all worked up over Matt Rife (mainly bad comedians, tbh). Who is he and why am I completely on his side? Also, I dip into my Top 5 movie soundtracks. I bet yours doesn't make the list.

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/06/07

I cover the final details of my now-succesful Kickstarter campaign, including why I am making a special this way in the first place. I also get too worked up over what I'm supposed to be focused on vs what other people care about. And then a fact about movie reviews sends me off on another spiral.

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/05/30

It’s a jumbled grab bag of an episode as I go through a number of things that caught my attention this week. I tell you what I learned after discovering a new tea. I talk about the Japanese approach to customer service and hospitality. I talk about why I did not like the new movie, Sisu. Then, a few stories that make me wonder about human accountability, one on a cruise ship and one involving a McDonald’s nugget. Come rage with me. My Kickstarter campaign ends On June 2.

2023/05/24

I spent my Saturday morning the perfect way: watching cartoons and eating cereal. I get into the specifics of what I watched, but also spin down a road of nostalgia, not just for the shows themselves, but for HOW we used to watch TV and why we're bored by it all now. Also, my Kickstarter is live through the end of the month here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sladeham/the-slade-ham-comedy-special-signal-noise Here's my 1984 Saturday Morning playlist : Snorks: https://tinyurl.com/55jcacdc

#45 Causes I Don't Care About | The Slade Ham Experiment

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/05/03

I had an absurd conversation with a man who was visibly upset about something a beer company did. I tried to explain my current philosophy to him to no avail. I also explain some of the pitfalls to launching a Kickstarter campaign for a comedy special. I also fight against a marauding brigade of aerialist fruit flies.

I just returned from another tour for the military, this time in Qatar, Djibouti, Kenya, Egypt, and Niger. Many of these were return trips, and they brought plenty of adventure with them. I'll have a full Slade Runner episode up featuring footage from the trip, but for now, here's a verbal description of what three weeks out in the thick of it consists of. Special thanks to all the support staff and MWR folks who make these tours possible on the ground. It's a giant machine and I'm grateful they

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/03/31

My guest is Tod Waters, musician, visual artist, and rock n roll clothing designer whose work you can find under Junker Designs. His style is distressed and repurposed, reminding you of the steel and metal, and the grit of the streets here in Houston. Performers such as Motley Crüe, Poison, Johnny Depp, Robert Rodriguez, Britney Spears, Pink, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Prince, Steven Tyler, and Alice Cooper have all added Junker Designs to their wardrobe, and you’ve seen it on screen in Alita

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/03/29

I return from Japan to the most American welcome imaginable. It's my version of Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (a fantastic children's book if my kid brain remembers anything at all). At best I might say something useful in the middle of it all, and at worst perhaps you'll recognize a bit of your own recent days. In a nutshell, I'm petty sometimes, and nothing frustrates me more than the monarchs of tiny kingdoms. Airport cops, grocery store security, and a small town City

#40 How to Buy a New Phone | The Slade Ham Experiment

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/03/08

I've avoided the prodding to buy a new phone for the last two years, but sometimes there's no avoiding it. My phone drew its last breath just as I get ready to depart for a series of overseas trips. T-mobile never ceases to frustrate me, but Marc at the store in 5th Ward made a diving catch to save my day. Join me on a Sunday full of misadventures.

I'm going to Japan for most of March. It will be my fifth time visiting the country, but my first as just a tourist. I revisit my previous trips in this episode, recounting some of my favorite experiences both on and off stage, but then I get to what I really came for - why the people of Okinawa live so long. The island falls into one of five internationally recognized Blue Zones, where people tend to share certain environmental and lifestyle characteristics. I find it fascinating, and continue to

The Slade Ham Experiment ·

2023/02/22

A new niece prompted me to go down a rabbit hole of names, not just in America but around the world. New Zealand ranks up there, but the most egregious offenders are all right here in the good ol' US of A. Elon, Beyonce, and Kanye, of course, but oddly-named children of all sorts come up in this episode. We all rank our own names as unique, and I can confidently say that I am thrilled I got the one I did. You can get a free digital version of my book by signing up for my twice-a-month newsletter

2023/02/15

I'm in the process of reintegrating myself into social media and it's forced me to contemplate what "noise" I allow back into my life. The Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 Rule as we call it in the Americas, is an interesting distribution pattern that permeates almost everything we do. I'm using it as I begin plans for my comedy special this year. I suggest using it to parse through your life and see where the most energy and effort is wasted. Plus, advice on trolls, misinformation, and all around

Welcome to The Slade Ham Experiment! In this episode I get sidetracked by an old episode of Gilligan's Island and examine the multiple errors it makes in Japan's favor. I'm not sure how I got there from the Chinese balloon, but I did. Try some Akira: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa Then, I discuss the current mentality of Iran towards dissidents and how it resembles a small town. Also, the fascinating phenomenon of change blindness and its effects. And finally, I reminisce about an

My guest is Dianne Gallagher, host of Rock the Cashbar, a podcast that takes deep dives into your favorite songs and lyrics. More than that she is a comedian from the old Laff Stop days here in Houston, and part of the very unique community that existed then. When I met her, she was Dianne Cupps, but now is the married mother and stay-at-home artist Dianne Gallagher. We revisit some of those days in this episode, but also talk about how to balance an artistic life with our chaotic regular ones. I

In this episode we talk about how to juggle multiple projects and the collision of artificial intelligence and art.
