We’re all trapped in our homes and the little things are TEARING US APART! The boys talk about the new inability to joke about the COVID-19 world and the spectres of the opinions of past relationships.

The Apes decide to delve into dystopian Gee Kerry and discuss who they would become should the world resemble The Walking Dead and which post-apocalyptic movie will our demise most resemble (spoiler: of course David brings Cocktail into it). Plus, David’s ingenious idea to put $50.00 in your pocket for listening to our ApeCast.

Don and David are back this week, both in the grips of the COVID-19 lockdown in Chicago and Las Vegas. Today, the reflect a bit on how they’re doing and what they think the best and worst outcomes of the tipping over of society will bring.

Practicing full-on social distancing, Don sits this one out and Dana Jerman fills his chair. She and David talk about home life in the wake of Armageddon and present two distinct playlists to listen to as society collapses around us.

The Gentlemen Apes wrestle with why Elizabeth Warren fizzled out despite being the only adult in the room and why a white woman can’t write a novel about people who aren’t exactly like her.

Himmel’s new work schedule prevented a recording time this week, so Don invited his wife (and Literate Ape writer) Dana Jerman to have a quick conversation about life in Vegas just a bit over a year since moving from Chicago.

Don is NOT talking about the Nevada Caucus. He is NOT talking about politics today, sir! So the boys dive into the story of Quaden Bayles and the concepts of Performative trauma, a party Don attended where people bragged about their weakness, and things get dicey when David gives his take on Instagram foodies.

Don is frustrated with what a bunch of provoking dickweeds we’ve all become while David is just excited about winning Valentine’s Day. Plus some squawk about true believers (in anything) are insufferable.

Yeah. The guys get caught up in the botched impeachment of the CEO of Smarm and the horror show of the Iowa caucus. It gets heated and several horrible analogies are bandied about.

It’s Don’s 54th Birthday and he tries to pass off some lessons in honor of his advanced years. Unfortunately for you, David sets him off and Don starts sounding older and older until David must exit his lawn ASAP.

David hates Hillary Clinton for so many reasons that are based on propaganda from decades of persecution. Don disdains not Bernie Sanders but his mouth-foaming, rabid supporters. Let’s break it down.

WARNING: Don uses the word “retard” at least four too many times in this one

The boys check in with each other about Don’s 8-months gig as a Casino Manager and David’s three weeks old job as an Events Producer. While on that conversational journey, they talk about the power of choosing your own reaction, and both Don’s hidden love f dogs and the girly-ness of David’s dog tattoo revisited two years later.

David is fuming over a fight between he and Katie about Leg-Os and realizes his fury has been felt by women for generations. Also a bit about the brilliance of Ricky Gervais.

We have a show sponsor! Chicago is now the home of legal grass! Neither Apes can remember the name of that broad who never heard of Van Halen, and Harry joins us to talk Star Wars and Marvel.

Looking back at the previous decade and wondering what the fuck went wrong and, guided by the prescience of pre-2010 Himmel’s sketch comedy chops, predictions of the decade to come.

Beginning the conversation with a backpedal by actress Olivia Wilde, the dudes of Apedom spin into a ramble that includes the excessive punishment of the Ass Slap Guy to the recent U.K. election into the Court of Public Opinion vs. the Actual Courts. Oi.

The Literate Apes dive into the world of Frank Sheeran and Martin Scorsese’s latest film, The Irishman as well as looking at cinematic long game narratives that connect across generations, directors, and storylines.

The question begged on Episode 110 is simple: how many people in a culture experiencing what they feel is injustice are necessary for systemic change to be a moral requirement? Vegans, transgender, police shootings, and women surprised by a load after a blowjob are all in tiny numbers but look to make massive changes to society. How many is enough to take seriously? Also, did MLK really say THAT?

No rhyme or reason here, folks. Just two slightly Ill chimps bouncing around conversationally like homeless guys on a sidewalk.

Like the title says, the boys were on a tight time constraint.
