SlapperCast Episode 333: "You Can’t Spell Rock Without Rick"
Our dear friend Rick Gillis joins us to talk résumés, self-worth, and his latest brainchild: a book called “Your Work Does Not Speak for Itself — YOU Do.” We talk about Houston, hard hats, job boards, performance reviews, and why calling someone on the phone is now considered an act of wild rebellion.

Episode 323 was recorded on the porch in Huntsvegas, right before rehearsal. Somewhat different camera set-up than usual, as you'll notice.
Up until this point, Patrick and Turbo had a crazy day which you'll hear all about. PLUS: getting electrocuted, camping, etc. You know, the usual stuff.

SlapperCast Episode 322: "Masturdating Advice"
Episode 322 was recorded this past Friday morning, one of the first remote recordings we've done in awhile. We reflect on how far we've come with SlapperCast, our individual senses of humor, how audiences respond to Patrick's dark humor, parenting teenagers, plus a little tease about future Ireland tour plans.
