On the heels of David’s family friend on the cusp of a hospice death, the apes double down on their own bad taste and challenge each other to a game of “Which Would You Rather?” with horrible ways to die. Good fun for the family!
David went to Florida and was confronted with a fat, bald guy who put “she/her” on the name badge and he had thoughts. This leads the hosts into a discussion of promouns as fashion and the shift from cancelling people to those who have been canceled becoming uncancelled. Fortunately five-year-old Harry clarifies it.
Don compares living in Kansas to an Italian prison or living inside a Walmart and then the chimps chat about whether words are violent or harmful and if bullies are an essential part of living in a world filled with bullies.
Don has taken to watching dating shows on Netflix and screaming at the bad choices; David went to Vegas and got two—TWO—tattoos. Let the hijinks and shennanigans ensue!
David has a conversation with his wife about her very Evangelical approach to helping him solve problems and Don, via his dad, introduces a unique way of describing someone with “Banjo Ass” being introduced into the lexicon.
Don released a book about his hateful third divorce and his ex reviews it on Goodreads. The monkeys of the ‘cast break it down. Will she review this episode? Will it get 5 stars? Is Peter Benchley’s Jaws revenge porn against the shark?
The Chimps in Charge talk about their various run-ins with the law and then seque into the horrifying rise in mass shootings. It’s a funnier podcast than that sounds…
Don decides to wind David up about an article that completely exonerates Armie Hammer from accusations by some batshit crazy women. David is unimpressed because he thinks hammer is a forgettable talent.
