SlapperCast Episode 273: "Touch the Cloak"

Patrick and Chad recorded this one separately while driving out to a private party gig in Richmond. We also talk about crawfish, a traffic jam story from a 2011 tour, a few follow-up thoughts on last week's show in College Station, and finally a dead singer joke from Patrick at the end.

We tease a secret special guest in this episode… someone who joined us for the gig in Richmond and will also be joining us in Bryan this Friday May 10, 2024. There's a clip of us performing with this guest in this episode, and longer clip is on PATREON.

SlapperCast Episode 271: "Sell Hard, Buy Soft"

JOIN US in IRELAND September 2024:

This one was recorded on the way home from McKinney after the Lone Star Celtic Festival, which unfortunately lost a whole day to rain, but recovered nicely the next day with absolutely perfect weather.

We also welcome back Dennis from Doc's Irish Tours, who runs down the entire itinerary for two week tour of IRELAND coming up this September. We'll be visiting the North and the South, and you can join us for both or choose one or the other. Dennis and Patrick also discuss tips on flights, clothing, and currency.

ALSO: our van "Vicki Von Klap" breaks 200,000 miles!

SlapperCast Episode 270: "Extra Slap on the Back"

This one recorded last night after Patrick returned from Philadelphia, where he attended the funeral of his much beloved brother-in-law Tim Mohan. There's so much to be said about Tim that I don't think we can articulate yet, but Patrick does his best to do so here.

We then steer into more lighthearted topics, including our (possibly) newly-improved attitude about the Dallas area, thanks to venues like the Wounded Ostrich, where we're playing next month, and big events like the Lone Star Celtic Festival in McKinney, which we'll be playing this coming weekend.

This one was recorded in bits as we drove ourselves separately to Beaumont and Brenham, intercut with clips from a performance of "Suspicious Minds" filmed with Turbo's 360 camera.

Patrick first shares a conspiracy theory about the donut incident from last week's episode (https://youtu.be/KChkUuC4vKw?si=cic7RrrNlVemIjBF&t=163)

We then catch Chad having "a moment" while driving home from Beaumont, trying to articulate what an amazing reception we got from the audience at Logon Cafe that night.

Then we see Turbo's killer drum solo in the middle of "Suspicious Minds" from our show at HSF Biergarten in Brenham, followed by an adlib from Patrick that apparently some people there thought was rehearsed.
