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.

Last episode of season 6

Send us a text Every season of the podcast has to end. It always makes us sad but we know we need a bit of a break to focus on improving the podcast, other projects, and of course, getting some needed rest. On this episode, Beaveman, Swan, and Nolan talk about poop, disease, dumb scenario based questions, and whatever other irrelevant nonsense seems to pop in their heads. Big surprise, it is an improve podcast with no structure. Will that change, most likely not. Thank you for an amazing season ...

What's my incarceration plan?

Send us a text Beaveman, Swan, and Nolan talk about the problems with the justice system. Citing the well-known story of the West Memphis Three, the Beaveman presents a very real fear in this country: going to prison for a crime you did not commit. Three young men spent 18 years of their lives in prison for a crime they clearly did not commit. Could this happen to you? Of course it could.

The Force is Strong with GD Fenderson

Send us a text The Squad assembles, literally, the entire squad assembles for a fun chat with guest GD Fenderson. GD Fenderson is a self-described Certified Forensic Humorist. That means he tells jokes at crime scenes and autopsies. Honestly, we don't know what it means, because I am not sure, in all the confusion, that he ever explained it in detail. He did describe what self-described means, but, even the squad knew that one. The chaos continued with very uncommon technical difficulties, rando...

Beaveman, Swan, JD, and Nolan hang for a completely off the rails conversation about how to survive a murder, types of cows, how to properly say Milk, and the political idea that Genghis Khan is tangentially responsible for the Europeans arrival in the Americas. This is why this is classified as an improv podcast. One never knows the direction it will take. It's like hanging out once a week with your weird friends that ...

It's Beaveman's Religion

Send us a text The first week of May is a special time of year. It is the time of year that the Beaveman consumes even more Star Wars than he typically does. On this episode Beaveman and the Swan talk about Star Wars, and yes, there are things the Beaveman doesn't remember and doesn't know. He doesn't take a scientific or statistical approach to the lore of Star Wars, he consumes it because he loves it. So there will be some inaccuracies on this episode, and that is ok. Continuity isn't exactly ...

Send us a text On this episode, the Beaveman is subjected to dealing with two scatter-brained broads who talk over him the entire episode and insist on making mouth noises. Yup, it's the Swan and the Claw Queen (that broad from the east side). Ever wonder what to do if you come upon a wounded or not wounded animal? If they are wounded, call Kate to patch them up. If they are not wounded, call Kate to hobble them and then patch them up. This broad has issues. Let's not forget that she has a strok...

San Diego is an amazing town with a hopping comedy scene so Beaveman talks a bit about getting to go on a few mics to get some reps in.

However, a certain someone, thinks she can take a bit of a casual attitude regarding the known powers of this masterful doll.
