SlapperCast Episode 16: Chocolate is a Vegetable, Right?

Posted on May 21, 2019 by Blaggards

This week on SlapperCast, Patrick and Chad talk about their interests outside of music, how they “wind down” between shows, how the band has held together for so long, favorite foods, and the joys of Houston humidity. Also plenty of odd diversions, including a story about Chad’s unlikely-but-true connection to the ’90s movie “Reality Bites”.
