David’s drinking and wants to geek out on Amazon’s ‘The Boys.’ Don is happy to comply with some superhero geekery.

In this episode David wants to talk about Halloween but Don decides to show his complete ignorance concerning the Middle East. With visual aids (including Chuck Heston in a giant wig) David sets him straight.

Literate Ape Press presents

Loving Las Vegas

Three new books of playing against the House

Both Chimps are in Chicago! Nearly a year ago, Hall came out with a bleeding soul and broken spirit and they recorded the podcast in a diner. He’s back but far better but it seems the tables have turned (at least with HIMMEL enjoying a few Bloody Marys at breakfast). Oh. And Israel.

In a really long episode, the Chimps of Literate Ape invite another one of the Beardmore Brothers to join in and discuss the things each of us consider essential keepsakes in our lives. Plus, Don finds out the difference between Dick Butkus and Mike Ditka.

Being a website about writing and writers, it’s about time the ApeCast covers literature. Don’t get used to it.

What costumes do you wear during the week? What are you using them to project about yourself?

David has retirement on his mind; Don just likes to self gratify himself. Plus a new segment—the Quote of the Week!

It’s our fourth season and 300th episode! It’s also Labor Day, so the Chimps talk best and worst jobs they’ve had and the guy with the best job in the world, Jimmy Buffet, as he goes to the big party in the sky.

The conversation starts with Harry going to kindergarten and devolves from there. Themes include age, family, a taco bar, MAGA-brain, anger management, and “We Are the World.”

Last week, David texted Don with the sad, hang-dog statement  “Truly, I miss the days when photos of boobs have me boners.” Don loves boobs and challenges David on this statement.

The Chimps discuss the dangers of having a type and Don gets all emotional about the Gaurdians of the Galaxy trilogy.

Literate Ape is seven years old this month. Let’s talk about it.

David is reading the affirmations in his wife’s office and has some thoughts.

Himmel gets in from therapy in a pissy mood, Hall laments the strange backwards view of America from his apartment window, both find Salma Hayek in a bikini to be a supernova in their adolescent brains.

David has a Karen moment with Portillo’s and Don sees a parallel with the new Williw Wonka movie and the nuding of the American bush.

Like a conversation held by David Foster Wallace and a homeless lunatic, this thing goes off the rails in record time. Get an edible before listening to it and it might make sense.

Himmel does a brief recap of his time in Israel. Hall is simply a degenerate as David exposes his deepest thoughts. You know—an ApeCast!

Himmel’s in the Middle East; Hall’s in the Middle West. Ah, naval gazing at it’s finest!
