SlapperCast Episode 274: "Frank the Tank"

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.
