The Slaptail Squad

The Slaptail Squadtheslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com

He's the Beaveman, a sarcastic, angry, Army veteran who is full of guarded optimism and a love of comedy. His counterpart, the Swan, is the Padmé  to his Darth Vader, the Evil-Lyn to his Skeletor, and unfortunately someone who wouldn't know great comedy if it bit her on her lovely backside. Together they use the podcast as a method of increasing their power and skills with both the light and the dark side of the force. They are joined by fellow squad members the Trailer Park Monster/Dark Lord of Brown-Town JD Hutchins, the Ricker and a rotating cast of friends of the show.  When they unite they are, "The Slaptail Squad," a force of humor and idiocy in a world gone completely nuts. Join them, become a part of the great Slaptail Nation, and embrace the collective craziness.

My five things

Send us a text My five things. The five things in life that keep me in balance. Do you know what they are? Can you guess? The Beaveman shares with the other squad members his five things that he believes leads to balance in life. This is not a self-help podcast. The members of the squad are not trained self-help, or, "life," coaches. Listening to this podcast will not provide you with any life skills. It is purely for entertainment and hopefully for comedy. Thank you all for listening! https://t...

So I have to physically defend my comedy?

Send us a text Everyone else has an opinion on this topic, so why shouldn't we. You guessed it, we are talking about the physical assault witnessed by the world during the Oscars. Will Smith decided it was ok to slap Chris Rock. Was he justified? What is your opinion? What's the take-away? In the Beaveman's amazing world view this should call to light the reality of what it means to be a comedian. Do you think it is necessarily a safe profession? It should be. Unfortunately comedians are subject...

Are celebrities ruining podcasting?

Send us a text The squad assembles for a relaxed chat. We talk about the big question, "Are celebrities ruining podcasts?" You decide. What are your favorite podcasts? How many do you have in the rotation? Does anyone even listen to podcasts (according to some marketing person, no one does.)? We disagree on that point. Thanks for listening and sharing. https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com Support the show...

When Gen X and Gen Y explain catfishing

Send us a text The title is pretty accurate. The members of the squad, Ronz, Beaveman and Swan are Gen X and Tromondae is Gen Y. Clearly three out of the four get it, but the outlier as always is the Ronz. Perhaps it is because he made it to Gen X just under the wire and is one year away from being a Baby Boomer. Who knows? We now anticipate that he will use that particular term for any relationship he does not understand. Thank you for listening. https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.com/ Support...

The Swan is a slob and vaginal dryness is real

Send us a text The Beaveman relates personal stories about his struggle with the Swan and what he considers her disgusting habits. It is one of those episodes when the Ronz is grateful that he is not the topic of discussion, but, the squad quickly turns on him when he brings the heat on himself. The squad welcomes a guest as an expert in vaginal dryness. It is a thing people. Unfortunately, her advice is limited. Also, did you know you can call yourself a teacher without receiving any formal edu...

The (blank) sock, hear me out

Send us a text Writing comedy begins with an idea. A thought here and there. Don't ignore the thought, write it down, and get back to it later. If you find something you want to develop, then get to it and start writing. The Beaveman has a lot of stray thoughts. On this podcast episode he runs a few ideas by the rest of the squad members in an attempt to see what an audience response may be. Will he develop these ideas into full-blown bits? It is hard to say at this point. Maybe he is secretly a...

What's your gaming origin story?

Send us a text The squad assembles and welcomes friend of the show, Skylar aka the boy, to discuss video games and gaming. The Beaveman's earliest memories include Pong, how old is he? While the Ronz, who is basically ancient, remembers using a computer in school. How about the Swan and the boy? How many gaming systems are in your house? Definitely a developed nation thing. Thanks for joining us. We wish peace to the world and support the people of Ukraine. https://theslaptailsquad.buzzsprout.co...

Watch the right hand

Send us a text Watch the right hand because the left hand is just a distraction. The real trick is in the right hand. It is not the tail that wags the dog, but the dog that wags the tail. It is happening right now, maybe it is always occurring. We get distracted by something bright and shiny to divert our attention from the dark underbelly that is the truth. What are we talking about? The enemy we love to hate, the Russians and the current situation in the Ukraine. Remember, we are idiots so you...

It's all about the peanut butter

Send us a text The Beaveman loves peanut butter, from the first scoop to the last. But is it really just about the peanut butter? Is there a deeper meaning? Much like Tromondae's McDonald's french fries we are emotionally attached to the smallest thing. The squad is also concerned that Ronz may have dementia as his short-term memory seems to be impaired. We hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening! https://tunein.com/podcasts/Comedy-Podcasts/The-Slaptail-Squad-p1607956/ Support the show...

Fashion according to Sexual Chocolate

Send us a text The Beaveman believes you can wear more than one sport brand related garment at a time, Tromondae and Swan disagree. The Ronz clearly has no opinion because he wears a wolf t-shirt tucked into acid wash jeans and he doesn't even know what his shoe size is. Regardless, where does the Swan get off giving the Beaveman fashion advice when she walks around wearing knee length knit sweaters over a sport tank-top and sweatpants. It's a lively discussion between friends that share idiocy ...

Government deals with aliens to abduct us in exchange for tech

Send us a text Oh you heard us right. It is no secret that the Beaveman loves conspiracies and conspiracy theories. It should also be no secret that as much as he loves conspiracies and conspiracy theories, he despises unsolved mysteries. So he has decided that many unsolved mysteries can be solved if you consider this: the aliens did it, they slipped through a portal to another dimension, bigfoot took them, or similar. But why are disappearances at National Parks so intriguing? One reason, beca...

Celebrating our 100th podcast episode as a squad

Send us a text In celebration of our 100th podcast the squad assembled for their first livestream. This is our podcast from this fun event. We want to thank our listeners who have been with us from the beginning and the listeners who have joined us along the way. On this episode the Ronz demonstrates his inability to be prepared, the squad does not back down and lets him have it. We get to hear some of the Ronz's famous impressions, and the Beaveman gives us his three minutes of comedy as well a...

Break the cycle

Send us a text Are you good enough, smart enough, do people like you? Of course you are! Of course they do! We like you and that is all that matters. Well, aside from you liking yourself. This isn't one of those self-help podcasts. We just fully believe that the Ronz should treat himself and realize he deserves the best. We are guessing that you do also. Clearly you understand quality, that is why you listen to the Slaptail Squad. You have to break that cycle of disparity. Let no one dictate you...

A good podcast is like a good friend

Send us a text What more do we need to say? Each week we hope to be the podcast friends that you want to visit with. We enjoy the time we get to spend together with each other and our audience of friends. What would it be like if a week went by and you didn't hear Beaveman yelling at Ronz? Could you go another week without hearing the Swan repeat herself a dozen times? Maybe you really love Tromondae and you just can't wait to hear from him (you won't this week, sorry). I personally love doing i...

Stopping to play the lottery on examination day with Winonah's gift in hand in anticipation of needing it for either the hunger games or the purge.

Send us a text That title is kind of long but hey, we like to make it interesting. On this episode the Beaveman provides brief descriptions of short stories from his childhood that described situations in dystopian societies. The squad discusses direct correlations between these stories and popular adaptations such as movies like The Hunger Games and The Purge . The Ronz talks about the very common and dangerous tradition of ,"infanticide," while the rest of the squad contemplates if the Ronz kn...

Too many coffee cups

Send us a text No really, that is what the episode is about. This is no deep, philosophical analogy that the Beaveman came up with to describe some sort of existential crisis in his life. The man literally feels like he has too many coffee cups and he does not know what to do about it. It is a real developed nation problem. You may think this is a discussion that is easy to wrap up in about 3 minutes, you would be dead wrong. The squad talks about it for about an hour. What about you? Do you hav...

Holiday lip lubricant

Send us a text He has waited decades to lubricate his lips with something other than a human, biological fluid. The wait is over. The Beaveman sent Ronz a holiday assortment of lip lubricating substances of different brands and flavors. But which one will he choose? Will it be a life-changing experience. Will he feel as though he has wasted decades of his life, wandering the planet with dry, cracked lips? So many choices: milk chocolate, vanilla bean, graham cracker, traditional, etc. You get th...

Conversations with Sexual Chocolate, the lost episode from September 2021. Episode 94

Send us a text This is an episode we recorded back in September of this year but I failed to post. It is a fun conversation between Beaveman, Swan, and Tromondae whom I like to call Sexual Chocolate. It is a typical conversation. We talk about wet dreams, pooping disasters, why you shouldn't eat your toothpaste, and of course a Q&A with Tromondae regarding LGBTQ terminology. It is just what you have come to expect from us. Complete idiocy. Consider it our gift to you. An extra episode just f...

This week we had a guest but there were connection issues but we felt the content still needed to be heard.

Let's Try Some Stand - Up Comedy And Talk About The Netflix Show Pose. Episode 91

Send us a text Tromondae refused to fall for it so we don't get to hear his 2-minute comedy bit. Apparently he is not susceptible to the Jedi-mind trick. The Beaveman does his brief bit and the Ronz rambles on like some senile weirdo. Then they talk about the show Pose on Netflix and, as usual, the Ronz didn't watch the show. They have fun making fun of him and the Beaveman tries to find out how well Tromondae and Swan know him by guessing which character he finds attractive. Let's face it, the ...

Evolve Your Comedy But Don't Dictate Mine. Episode 89

Send us a text Beaveman goes off. Comedy is about entertaining and self-expression. The views you hold now or what you consider funny today, may change in as little as a day. It is about personal growth. It is also about tolerance. In this podcast the Beaveman expresses himself and relates that he believes growth is important but that comedians do not have to dictate what other comedians do. He also complains about how everyone seems to kiss the butt of Jerry Seinfeld and seem to be forced to ch...

Has Ronz created the next summer blockbuster promo? Episode 88

Send us a text You may have heard the scary stories last week and perhaps you were super confused by the Ronz' story. So were we. This week we asked him to send us a copy so we could read it and interpret it. It was not a story exactly, but we think it would be a decent movie promo. Now he just has to write to movie. The Ronz also babbles on about being a blackbelt, of course, and asks questions about how to discipline students. Join Beaveman and Swan as they delve into the creative mind of the ...

They reveal that the Swan knows nothing about American folklore and that she would be relieved if sex robots were real because she would make sure that Beaveman had two of them. Finally they allow Ronz to rant but quickly shoot him down and tell him that his personal opinion is stupid and wrong. Hey Siri! Did Noah... Support the...
