The Slade Ham Experiment
I try to distill what I have learned in the last year down to 20 minutes or so. If you're trying to get something done, it takes a lot of work. It's also worth it most of the time. I hope some of this helps. Now go get in line for my new special! Signal / Noise comes out April 2
info_outline #83 Get Your Shoes Out of the Fridge, Please | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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!

info_outline #82 A Tea Kettle, Cheap Bananas, & Elephants at Your Wedding | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.

info_outline #81 The Most Scared I've Ever Been, Poison Ivy, and the MCU | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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!
info_outline #80 Chingo Bling: Writing for a New Tour and Building the Right Team | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.
info_outline #79 Lottery Tickets, Getting Fired, & Being Slightly Prepared | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.
info_outline #78 Paying Content Creators, Technological Karma, & the Right Jack | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.
info_outline #77 Jerry Wayne Longmire on Truck Astrology, Old Cars, & Content Creation | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.
info_outline #76 Survival vs Happiness and Surrendering in a Coffee Shop | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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.

info_outline #75 New Stand Up and Sci-Fi Movies | The Slade Ham ExperimentThe Slade Ham Experiment
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
info_outlineAn original member of the famed Texas Outlaw Comics and a recent stand out on America’s Got Talent, Andy is one of the most diligent writer-performers in the game.
Andy has, by far, the longest career of any artist on this season. He began in Virginia in 1977 – that’s basically my entire life - before heading to Los Angeles later that year, a brazen move in an industry that was barely an industry yet.
There’s a lot of history in those forty three years, and a lot of knowledge, so come with us for a lot of technical talk about joke writing and how to break through the tough spots in our processes.
