The Slaptail SquadStill confused about Shared Psychotic DisordersSend us a textThe 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 Nationht...2025-03-021h 29

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.

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. 2025-01-261h 28The Slaptail SquadI'm gonna knock you out!

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 the squad is so out there now. Who...2024-10-201h 09

But everything you do is dictated to you by one person, and you have no free will. Sounds like a cult to me. You say you are open minded, but you push your religion on others and won't discuss religions other than your own. Sounds like dangerous thinking.The Beaveman is on a documentary kick.

How else can he hold a podcast together with Swan and Mike. Mike is either playing with something and not paying attention, or just not paying attention. Swan can't help but talk over someone. Never try to run a joke by Swan, she starts talking through the punchline. You know what this show needs?

On the last podcast as Jumanji looked down from his ivory tower of self-righteousness, he showed obvious disdain for all security guards. But low, the podcast took an immediate turn and the blame was squarely shifted to the innocent Beaveman, say it isn't so.

Any similarities between characters in the stories and persons either living or dead are purely coincidental. Having said that, listen to some interesting renderings from members of the Slaptail Squad. Do you know someone that did their time working in the ER? Bet they have some similar stories.

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.
