Why does food NOT taste the way it did when we were kids? 🤔

Episode 135 of Great Apes Cafe starts with everybody getting on Timothy about punctuality again 😂 before the conversation turns into dirty truck drivers, industrial-sized soap, family members who only call when they need something, fake support, food ingredients, childhood punishments, parenting, skilled trades, and whether the food we grew up eating has completely changed.

One of the biggest conversations this episode is simple:

THE PHONE WORKS BOTH WAYS.

You can’t disappear for months, never check on somebody, then suddenly pop up asking to borrow money—especially when you still owe them from last time. 😂 The crew gets into family members watching everything you post online but never actually calling, texting, commenting, or checking on you.

The crew talks about:

• Getting whoopings for bad grades
• Belts, shoes and whatever else parents could grab
• Trying to talk trash AFTER your parents walked away
• Getting punished by multiple family members at grandma’s house
• Timothy getting expelled in elementary school
• Accidentally hitting a teacher with a chair during a fight
• Parents apologizing after going too far
• Whether physical discipline actually worked
• Parents today trying to be their children’s friends
• Why kids need boundaries AND communication
• Why being too strict can make children hide things
• Getting kids off tablets and back outside
• Teaching children trades, entrepreneurship and financial literacy
• Why young people should learn more than one way to make money

We tried to start this episode at 2 PM. We actually started around 7. So naturally, accountability became the first topic. 😂

Episode 134 of Great Apes Cafe kicks off with the crew checking each other over being late, bad communication, excuses, time management and why friends should be able to hold each other accountable without everything turning personal. Dre Aries is back with the crew, and it doesn’t take long before the conversation goes completely off the rails. episode 134

From there, the conversation moves into mental capacity, patience, dating someone with children, relationship boundaries, communicating intentions and why being brutally honest can save everybody a lot of confusion.

The crew also discusses President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to give every adult U.S. citizen a $5,000 payment if Republicans win both chambers of Congress. The White House publicly announced the proposal in September 2026; independent fact-checkers noted that its estimated cost would be roughly $1.2 trillion and that significant questions remain about funding and implementation.

That turns into a broader debate about war, government spending, political promises, distrust of institutions and conspiracy theories. Some claims raised during this portion are personal opinions or theories discussed by the hosts and should not be taken as established fact. episode 134

Then the episode completely changes direction.

Are you usually early, on time, or “fashionably late”?

Would you date someone with children?

And what animal do you absolutely HATE? 😂

AI looked through a phone camera and helped diagnose a car problem. Are we already living in the future?

Guss joins Great Apes Cafe for Episode 133, and this conversation goes everywhere—from artificial intelligence and the future of work to college debt, blue-collar careers, surviving cancer, mental health, faith, relationships, and learning when to let people fight their own battles.

The crew debates whether college is still worth the price when students can pursue trades, side hustles and other ways of making money without taking on massive debt. They also discuss why plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians and other skilled trades could remain valuable even as AI and automation continue advancing.

Then things get futuristic.

Timothy talks about using AI with his phone camera to help troubleshoot a car A/C problem in real time, leading to a bigger conversation about robots, automation and how quickly technology is changing everyday life.

Guss also opens up about his experience surviving cancer, going through treatment and changing his lifestyle afterward. His comments reflect his personal experience and opinions—not medical advice. Anyone dealing with cancer or considering changes to treatment should work with qualified medical professionals.

Questions for the comments:

Would you choose college, a trade, or a side hustle today?

Would you trust AI to help diagnose your car?

And how much responsibility should you take for helping somebody who refuses to help themselves?

Featuring Guss.

Would you still eat after discovering your plate had food left on it from the last customer?

Episode 131 of Great Apes Cafe features returning guest Twan and special guest Tre, aka Nappybynatur3, for a conversation that starts disgusting, gets nostalgic, and eventually turns serious.

The episode opens with a restaurant horror story involving a dirty plate, leftover food, questionable kitchen practices, and the uncomfortable realization that a nice-looking establishment does not always mean the kitchen is clean.

From there, the crew gets into public bathroom etiquette, workers who refuse to wash their hands, horrifying porta-potty stories, and why some experiences can make you stop eating out altogether.

Then everybody takes it back to the 2000s.

The conversation covers:

• Dirty restaurants and reused plates
• Kitchen cleanliness and food-service horror stories
• Public bathrooms and people not washing their hands
• The wildest porta-potty story imaginable
• “Smack Ass Friday” and questionable school traditions
• High-school fashion, hairstyles and terrible barber experiences
• Show choir, school dances and talent-show memories
• Power Rangers and early-2000s nostalgia
• Football coaches, practices and high-school sports
• You Got Served, Stomp the Yard and dance-movie memories
• Actors being advertised heavily but barely appearing in movies
• Hollywood age gaps and young performers being placed in uncomfortable situations
• Whether parents and entertainment companies properly protect child stars
• Speaking freely, censorship and being afraid to challenge powerful industries

This episode is funny, nostalgic, uncomfortable and completely unfiltered.

Questions for the comments:

Would you have paid for the meal after seeing that dirty plate?

What was the wildest tradition at your school?

And does Hollywood do enough to protect young actors?
