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.
