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.
The Slaptail Squad
The Nose Knows Sharks
The Squad unites this week for a fun weekly chats with our friends around the world. Steven is overly aggressive immediately which seems to rub off on the Swan.
Swan brings us the crime report as written by our resource on the, "ground," Angela Tripsalot. This one is super interesting but of course, the Squad makes fun of tragedy. That's how you get through it. Gallows humor baby! This is a report a case out of Virginia that involves accusations that a former IRS agent conspired with his au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, to murder his wife, Christine Banfield, and Joseph Ryan on February 24, 2023.
Swan was also instructed to work on her broadcast journalist voice. Do you think she was successful?
The Dark Lord of Browntown brings us interesting information about a movie about the Mothman that was never released. Was the mafia to blame. Sorry, what mafia???? Mothman: The Film That Never Was is a documentary detailing the chaotic production of a 1997 independent horror film directed by Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel. Shot in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the original movie was abandoned due to funding loss, bizarre production hurdles, and, as explored in the documentary, alleged threats from local mafia figures.
The Beaveman brings us this weeks, "Not So Grand Rounds." Hansen's disease, otherwise known throughout the ages as Leprosy. Let's end the stigma, seek compassion, provide care, and not have intercourse with Armadillos! We're talking to you Florida.
And finally, the Swan brings us her attempt at jokes. We know you all look forward to that every week.
Throughout the episode, the Beaveman recites the iconic monologue from Quint in the movie Jaws. Probably going to hear some form of that regularly from now on.
Thank you to our listener's throughout the world. Your support means everything to us. We hope our podcast helps you get away from the BS for at least an hour or so every week.
