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.

Ronz wants to do improv...or does he?

Send us a text On this episode of the Slaptail Squad, Mike joins the squad from Arizona. Ronz takes the lead and asks Mike, now known as Nemo, some very boring questions. Don't worry, we left a couple of them in so you could have a sample of the 10-15 minutes of monotony the squad had to endure as the Ronz struggled to step out of the number 2 position. The Beaveman is however a caring Master of the Universe, and he cut the monotony from the episode. We get to the entertaining portion of the pod...

Trying to understand your audience

Send us a text The Squad unites to discuss one of their most sacred topics: stand-up comedy. Now that the Beaveman has successfully performed without getting booed off the stage, he begins his next adventure.

Beaveman consults with squad member and professional comedian Mike but soon realizes that Ronz is the one with all the opinions. Basically, its the podcast for Ronz, about Ronz, and ...

Telesex Talk

Send us a text This week the squad assembles and welcomes our guest GG. Why you ask? Well, GG spent a couple of years as a phone sex worker, and of course, that is right up the squad's alley. Listener warning, there is some pretty graphic content in this episode to include a mock phone exchange between the Beaveman and GG. It's all in good fun with plenty of laughter and teasing. Who likes being spanked? Who has some pretty kinky interests? Who is the most boring squad member sexually? Guess you...

Are we an improv podcast?

Send us a text The squad unites this week to talk about the future of the podcast. Where are they going? What is their niche? Who knows really? As always it is a fun conversation, aside from the fact that Ronz insists on doing the show sounding like he has a mouth full of gravel. Don't worry kids. That mouth full of gravel won't keep him from saying cringy things. We also learn that Beaveman has a thing for Jumanji's ex. Yikes! We hope you join us for a little fun.

The love of anger, part one

Send us a text On this episode, the squad unites to talk about anger. At least 50% of the squad is angry. Can you guess who? Here's a hint at least one of them, the Beaveman has enough anger for 100% of the squad. If anger was jet fuel, he would have enough to circumnavigate the earth 100 times. That's ok, Jumanji and Mike attempt to come to the rescue. It's a little bit serious mixed with some fun and humor. Thanks for sharing it with us.
