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.

Send us a text The Slaptail Squad podcast welcomes comedian Kate Dore, from Michigan, for a fun conversation about women in comedy. The Beaveman and Swan talk with Kate about her fiancé, her addiction to claw machines, and the Beaveman's hatred for Russia and Putin (but not the good people of Russia). The show also features silly little jokes from the Beaveman and Swan's manic minute. We support Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, the people of Greenland. We support the true USA. Kate Doré information The ...

Measles, Mumps, Rubella...oh my!

Send us a text The Squad unites to say a collective FU to Putin and Russia but also to talk about the state of the nation when ignorance and misinformation reigns supreme. Do we really want to step back in time to the age of measles wards, polio, and widespread bubonic and pulmonic plague? I think not. Podcasting is the last avenue of free speech, so the squad will continue using it as long as possible. Thank you to our loyal listeners in the United States of America and around the world.

Still confused about Shared Psychotic Disorders

Send us a text The squad is still confused about the difference between shared psychotic disorders and being bat-sh!t crazy. Nemo swims in to save the day and clear up the confusion. He failed immediately by stating the term Folie à Deux is made up. That's what happens when you try to learn something—still a fun conversation. Guess the squad needs to lean on a friend of the squad to clear it up for them. You know who you are, we are bugging you as soon as we can. Slaptail Nation https://www.slap...

Shared delusional disorders...sort of

Send us a text Beaveman, JD, and Ricker discuss subjects they are 100% qualified to discuss. Not really, that would be so unlike all of our other podcasts. Shared delusional disorders, aka Folie à Deux or other types of Folie depending on the type and number, are delusional disorders that start with one person and are shared by others. They discuss some cases briefly to determine WTF! Keep in mind that these three are, basically, idiots. So have fun with their crazy interpretations. Slaptail Nat...

Return of the Ricker

Send us a text It's been nearly 5 long years but the Ricker is back! One of the original members of The Slaptail Squad is finally back from the longest hiatus and we could not be more thrilled. We are very proud of his accomplishments and humanitarian efforts all over the planet earth and in the cosmos that kept him away, but now he is back and ready to embrace the collective idiocy. Would you want to know when you are going to die? What is the best way to die? What is the worst way to die? Woul...

You can pee out the bottom

Send us a text It is a wonderful day in the Beaver Den. The Beaveman finally has sleepwear that does not squeeze his waist or cause him to drop residual urine on his bedsheets. He really wanted to talk more about it but got sidetracked by a ridiculous discussion with Swan about travel, Nemo about comedy, and of course, sex toys. Congrats to Mike Cotayo for getting selected by the WSOC to compete in Las Vegas. Hopefully more satellite selections are coming. Slaptail Nation https://www.slaptailnat...

Nerd Chat with Jogun

Send us a text Beaveman and Swan hang with a friend of the show Jogun to talk about all things nerdy—no fact-checking needed. We never need fact-checking again. All things, ridiculous, nerdy, historical, and revisionist, don't matter, it is all factual. Join us for a fun talk about all things nerdy. Basically, things Swan doesn't understand, because you know, she is not a nerd. Strap in for a wonderful four years of making fun of true idiocy.

It's the end of everything and men's mouths are colder!

Send us a text Swan, Nemo, and Beaveman unite as a squad to talk about the giant poop show, goat rodeo, FUBAR world we are living in, and how it is affecting the human condition. Sounds deep doesn't it? Too bad Swan and Nemo are easily distracted by anything and everything. There are some serious moments, but remember, none of this is real. We are all living in some screwed-up version of the Matrix. So even if we are on a watchlist, a play is a play, and hopefully, we get bumped up in the charts...

The Emmy goes to...Buttrick and Morty

Send us a text The fun continues this week as comedian Emmy Buttrick joins the Beaveman and Swan for a fun conversation about redheads, comedy, succubi, and pinup modeling; with a redheaded, pinup modeling, succubitus standup comedian. That makes her an expert. [succubitus is the trait of being a succubus, (it's a word Beaveman made up)] Catch this fun chat with this rising comedy star. Emmy, not the Beaveman, just to clarify.

Jen is the producer and host of better help comedy Chicago and a talented stand-up comedian who demonstrates a strong tolerance for putting up with Beaveman's sense of humor and psychopathy.

The Squad chats with comedian Adam Minnick

Send us a text The Swan and the Beaveman welcome comedian Adam Minnick remotely to the Beaver Den to talk comedy, bad habits, drones, and whatever other crazy stuff the Beaveman can come up with. To challenge the Swan, Beaveman gives her a swear jar and a handful of quarters because, as we all know, the Swan curses up a storm like the true RN she is. Will she make it through with her handful of quarters, or will she run out? Thank you to our guest, comedian Adam Minnick, for hanging out for a fu...

Beaveman and Swan find out that Steven has some secrets about his friends group, about the morning show he does with his friends, and his take on drones, alien lifeforms, cryptids, and hauntings. Sounds like he needs to be on a spooky episode with the Dark Lord of Browntown. See his linktree for his upcoming shows.

They jump right in with conversations about Katy's proposed pilot sitcom, true crime, and a myriad of other subjects. She isn't sure she wants to be the leader of the KNAL commune (sounds like a cult), but she hasn't flat out dismissed the idea.

You know when you were a kid and you couldn't find your Darth Vader action figure, so you ask your mom for help and she just says, "where did you have it last?" Yup, its just like that.

Send us a text The Sqad partially unites to talk a bit about the Beaveman's thoughts and memories about his time in service. The conversation quickly degrades because Swan and Gigi famously cannot focus. Listen as Gigi attempts dad jokes all throughout the podcast in order to try to achieve the coveted Hiyoo! She doesn't get it, spoiler. Unfortunately, if you were looking forward to having JD on the podcast, we are sorry to disappoint you. JD is working hard, covering useless D-bags who don't sh...

When you just want to podcast but your only option is a cupcake

Send us a text It may seem like we are so busy that we just pulled this podcast out of our butts, that's because we kind of did. The truth is, we just love podcasting and connecting with our audience whether we have anything to talk about or not. One of the great joys in life is just connecting with your friends to chat. That is exactly what we did. The Squad unites. Beaveman, Swan, Nemo (Mike Cotayo), have a typical conversation about pretty much nothing. Just catching up. The Swan brought alon...

Who's more head injured?

Send us a text Big surprise, 3/4 of the squad on this episode have had head injuries ranging from concussion to whatever you would call Mike's water-head. Everyone's lives and experiences are different. Mike was a baby so who knows, he may have ended up being like the brilliant NikolaTesla or the horrible Adolph Hitler had he not been in the accident. The Swan has become more focused and manic. The Beaveman became even more morbid and dark. The brain is an amazing organ. You can truly see why th...

We don't discuss politics on this show

Send us a text We don't discuss politics. It just isn't our thing. But we will make fun of political parties, political candidates, dumb ideas, the amount of money they waste on trying to get people to vote for them, and the completely ridiculous notion that millionaires know what it's like to be one of us. What is most important to us, honestly, is to support the human race. Well, not Beaveman, he thinks we should all die out. Which makes sense, since he isn't one of us. Slaptail Nation Events ...

The Swan's Descent into Anger

Send us a text On this episode the Swan expresses her anger. That's right, the Swan. Maybe she is beginning to understand the Beaveman. What a novel concept that would be. The Beaveman does express his anger, but only at GiGi for being irresponsible. The show gets wrapped up because Nemo, also completely unreliable, had to bale early. Instead of leaving the audience high and dry, the Swan and Beaveman interview a culinary expert. Or are they? Slaptail Nation https://solo.to/beaveman https://www....

We find out the Beavemen believes art should be left to humans and AI should assist with medicine, science, engineering and tech, not art. It's an short, fun episode.

If you like local lore, you may want to read up on this one because the squad continues to do what they do best, make idiotic comments and get distracted. Does the dwarf have a giant red hog?

The squad unites to talk about super powers, real and imagined. What is your actual super power? Do you have one? You have to listen to Ronz and GiGi. Both, bullshit. Ronz's is bullshit because he is clueless. GiGi's is bullshit, because it's bullshit. According to the Beaveman. His may be the only one that is accurate. Not much of a su...
