Himmel took an EQ test and it turns out he’s an optimist so the Chimps dive in to figure out how that is possible.

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.

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!
