POPULARITY
In this episode, I am reminded that there is a market for everything. Aside from a lady with a heavy elbow and bad taste in literature, I just returned from a wonderful week telling jokes in the Caribbean. Now I am gearing up for summer, where all my attention is on my new special and book. You want updates? They're all here. Join the Patreon: www.patreon.com/sladeham

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 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 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! My new special is out now: https://youtu.be/3y_zeO7JLD0
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.

I admit, Eurovision is a guilty pleasure. In this episode I talk about it, the new ChatGPT updates, and how I am also losing my faith in the existence of Bigfoot. If that didn't have me in enough of a tizzy, I recall a reporter who lied to me recently.
Modern times often recall olden ones and sometimes it's the opposite. I revisit an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that reminds me of today. Also, more pondering on managing expectations, the man vs bear vs woman debate, and the TV show Alone.

I consider how we don't think about our global cohabitation situation enough, which leaves me thinking about past roommates. Some of them had hand grenades. Also, watching the animals around me run so frantically makes me want to stand very still in the tall grass. I promise to elaborate before the end. My new special comes out April 2!

A tea kettle and a bunch of bananas walk into an Indian wedding. There's bound to be a joke in this episode somewhere. I am far too cruel to this fat, Indian rich kid, but I'm working through some things. Also, inflation-proof gorilla food. My new special comes out April 2, right here. There's a sneak peek at the intro in this ep as well. Make sure you're subbed to catch it! The Discord is here.

In this episode I get to some audience questions. I'm also fighting through a case of poison ivy, which distracts me. Mainly though, I am vexed by the insane amount of superhero fodder we've been given the last decade. My special comes out very soon. Make sure you're subbed to catch it!
My guest on this episode is Chingo Bling. Originally a product of the Houston hip-hop scene where he collaboraed with the likes of Paul Wall, Pitbull, & Baby Bash, he pivoted to stand-up and content creation a decade ago. His first special, They Can't Deport Us All, debuted on Netflix. In this episode we talk about writing material for a new tour, and how to get it ready. Also, Chingo has built a team around him he trusts and we talk about that too. It's a good conversation among friends about how to make things that make you happy.
I apply Stoicism to my attempts to stay ahead of the metaphorical avalanche. I've been fired from every job I can remember, and that's taught me to leave myself multiple outs. Also, what lottery tickets and content creation have in common.
My years of railing against new technology has caught up to me and now all of it is fighting back. This leads me to counsel you to purchase the correct jack for a flat tire. We just can't beat the machines without the right tools. Plus, how much of the billion-dollar social media machine goes to the people creating the content? Not as much as you'd think.
My guest on this episode is my good buddy Jerry Wayne Longmire. You might recognize him from your social media feed. He boasts just shy of 900K followers across platforms, and has amassed over one billion views of his Shop Talk and Truck & Boot Astrology videos. In addition to content creation, JW is a hell of a stand up comedian. I highly recommend his hour-long special, The Reckon Yard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFlnkiafWX4 In this episode we talk about his roots, where ideas come from, interacting with fans, and how to make a life you want to live.
My new stand-up show seems to be exploring the difference in mentality required for survival versus happiness. It's an important distinction. Also, I find myself in a coffee shop and instead of railing against the current state of affairs, I give in. You can only scream into the wind for so long. The Discord is here.

I've given up on creative title writing. This ep has some clips from a recent stand up show. It's new. I don't know where it's going yet. But mainly it is fun. Also, a suggestion to watch three movies that tickle my sci-fi/fantasy nerves. The Discord is here. Sneak in: https://discord.gg/PGArBekm You can join my newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/cVECrL
I wander down the road back to when I quit smoking. But before that, smoking was an identity. I fought an entire city over a smoking ban. This episode is about dropping identities, I think.

Wade is joined by World Traveling Comedian, Slade Ham. The show starts with Wade saying he once wanted to fight a bear (yes, he's aware of how dumb that is). The show continues with the joy of being a creative person. After that, it's the end of the year review. The shows and movies we enjoyed, what we've learned as people, and Slade producing the Andy Huggins comedy special (Early Bird Special) and his comedy specials together (coming soon). The show ends with a game of "Would you work with these comic book characters". #DammitWade
It's a rambling first entry into 2024. I discuss a few mental strategies I've been exercising lately, plus Zume Pizza, an old acquaintance, and getting jumped for a phone. You can join my newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/cVECrL And as always, please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
This is an honest one. I contemplate how I played 2023 and look at where I am headed in 2024. I am pretty brutal with myself, but I think it's all been worth it. I have a brand new special coming in 2024 and it's really good. I hope you stick around for it! (Hint: A sub will keep you in the loop!)

It the last episode before a brief hiatus. In this ep I strategize on what I would do in a post-apocalyptic world. Hint: it wouldn't be hiding in a room full of canned goods. What are your plans? Could you make it? I also ruminate on wildlife cinematographers and their detached approach to their jobs and relationships, as well as Johnny Rolfe, the most self-reliant man I've never met. I cover a lot of pointless ground in this one. Join me? I have a brand new special coming in 2024. Please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
What exactly would happen if Taylor Swift got pregnant? I make predictions. Plus, what horror movie could you survive? I talk about my aversion to them and why I think we like them. Plus, Stephen King. I have a brand new special coming in 2024. Please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
Just let me yell, will ya? I don't know how time works, comedy bookers are on my nerves, these DJs won't shut up, and Slow Luis down at the Combat Kroger is having a day. Please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
I thought I was going to lament the weather and veer off in a totally different direction. Instead I revisit my first real road gig and a trip through New Mexico. Please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
After a week of watching people on the internet, my frustrations sort of work their way out of me. Influencers, restaurant reviews, and a mandatory call to pick sides to everything, from cell phones to global conflicts. It's exhausting. I prefer to profess my ignorance in almost every field. I know that among all the other biases I fall prey to, the Dunning-Kruger Effect is one of the biggest. Let's chat. Please consider telling a friend if you dig the show.
This week marked the release of Andy Huggins brand new comedy special, Early Bird Special. How we got there is a story that got it's start over two decades ago, and it is s testament to how doing the right thing can lead to even better things for everyone involved. Also, I visited Bard College in upstate New York to see Neil Gaiman give a series of lectures on writing. I came back inspired. Hopefully it motivates you just a little as well.
Newberg is a show that discusses the pursuit of happiness through art. Plus, Hollywood stuff, writing, comedy, touring, etc. This episode is about preparation. If you enjoy the show, please like, review and subscribe. Today's guest: I had a really fun comics talking comedy with the hilarious Slade Ham. Check it out. Great stories.
