The Slaptail Squad
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 the destroyer of fun. 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 King of Kalamazoo County Comedy Nolan Johncock, 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.

Remembering the gifts Rob Reiner gave us
This week the Beaveman talks about all the fond memories he has of the life changing gifts that legendary director Rob Reiner gave to the world.
The Swan shares her memories as well and they have a light hearted discussion about their love of The Princess Bride and Stand By Me specifically, as well as Beaveman's new crush on 40-something Kathy Bates.
They are joined by Drippy Steve who is younger than the Beaveman and Swan. So he gets an education about all the pop culture references throughout the decades that can be directly attributed to The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and Stand By Me. These are not all of the legendary Rob Reiner's contributions. There are too many to discuss in so little of a time to do them justice.
He gave the world many gifts. Our hearts go out to the friends, family, and all the lives touched by Rob and Michele Reiner.
Rest in peace.
