The Slade Ham Experiment

The world just keeps getting weirder. Exploding pagers in Lebanon, trees with guns, stupid artificial intelligence, and elephants on your birthday. Somehow we get to all of it. Thanks for dancing inside my head with me for another episode.

I catch up with Candlebox on the road, along with Bush and Jerry Cantrell. This brings up memories of Blockbuster, 80s and 90s movies, plot devices that no longer work, and the way stories change over time.

I wander the labyrinth of customer support on Facebook and YouTube, and I contemplate how long things should take to make. It's ameandering walk through my week, if you're up for it.

I throw some sections of crowd work up from this past week's shows at the Improvs across Texas. I try to narrate what's happening in my head as I do. There's a lot more to talking to the crowd than just making fun of people and asking what they do for a living.

The goal is always to craft a bit, and to bring the chat to some closure so I can get back to the material.

I find a few serendipitous moments in my week, I rant about lobbyists, and I apologize deeply to Karens around the world.

I constantly wonder if we live in a computer simulation. Here is a story from a trip to Africa that, at the time, blew my mind. Now I just chuckle at the interconnected nature of everything, and how we can find patterns and meaning anywhere we choose to. 

I do it to myself all the time. I'm 100 episodes in, you'd think I'd have it all figured out by now. Also, a great passage from Nassim Taleb to keep handy during election season.

Please consider subbing? Let's talk about the Olympics, and the Paralympics, and the world, and Canada, and the stuff I did while I was there.

I didn't want to skip another week, so I thought this would be a wonderful time to revisit some past Ontario trips through some old Slade Runner episodes. The podcast should be back should be back to its weekly schedule by August.

Enjoy Canada!

I try to walk through the last month's process on my new book. Making things can get messy and that often the thing that talks us out of doing them. If you're working on something, hopefully this gives you some incentive to push through. Keep swinging.
