The Literate ApeCast

In a preview for BUGHOUSE!, Don tasks David with his repeated use of the ’systemic’ when describing localized events.

D&D decide to watch the televised debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and provide in-the-moment commentary. Totally different, totally fun.

Don is closing the summer of house management; David is dealing with his miserable life. How do the chmps refuel themselves in the meantime?

In the ever present search for income, both apes have a short list of jobs they’d never take regardless of the compensation package.

It was the week of the DNC in Chicago and the chimps have unique perspectives. So does Himmel’s youngest son. That kid has LOTS of opinions.

Both Apes are looking for work and break it down for themselves.

Don aplogizes for biffing last week’s episode but had his first post-divorce date so the chimps unpack the whole concept of that bizarre activity.

In a cultural landscape where the burning question has been “What is a woman?” for a decade, Don counters with the unspoken question.

Lots of stuff in here—rhetoric creating an intentional backlash, gentle parenting, umbrellas in the park (Don admits he was wrong so mark the episode), and more! Hunker down on the toilet and enjoy…

We start with the ‘hawk tuah’ girl and gradually wind around to the use of photography to fool us, face blindness, ‘kidney’ friends, and the realization that David’s sons are to be called ‘master.’
