David is slowly becoming Papa Walton as his family gently increases. Don is curious how Mr. Himmel is handling all of this. We also talk about Jussie Smollet and teaching kids about gender fluidity as well as Don’s irritation at St. Patrick’s Day.

Don crawled, blind and barely cogent, out of his Vegas spider-hole and went to a college in Utah to teach. Turns out the college kids are not as fragile as the media paints them. David did not watch the State of the Union but has thoughts anyway. And both have decided they still like Sam Elliot but cannot have dinner with him now.

Joining Don and David is St. George College theater professor Brandon Bruce and he takes us into the dismal and scary world of collegiate academia in 2022. Elements of self censorship regarding the creation and teaching of art during a cultural movement that values work that demonstrates the world the way it could be rather than the way it is are discussed.

Apparently, his students feel Hamilton is a better play than Death of a Salesman which causes Don to figuratively shit his pants and David to spend ten minutes using his bidet.

A long-winded meandering of topics with no compass to guide it. Don quit his job, Katie has a stranger request to dress him to go to hospital, Rorschach of the News, and Six Things but I’ll be damned if tgeir is rhyme or reason to this conversation.

David and Don are joined by guest Vincent Truman and the three catch up with Vince’s prognosis on Portland, OR, shameless self promotion of a film he and David made before they could drink legally, and the incredibly stupid things that have made them laugh hard enough to feel exhausted.

Plus, Rorschach of the News (where we learn of Don’s utter disgust with Pelaton) and Six Things.

David completely spoils the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett as the guys talk about his assertion that the series is all about religious dogma. David revisits his Literate Ape article bemoaning the NYT purchase of Wordle and Don introduces a new segment called Rorschach of the News.

David finally saw Spiderman: No Way Homeand so he and Don can do a spoiler-laden discussion of the film. Don saw the latest Oliver Stone salvo regarding the JFK assassination and, knowing David is a long-historied JFK conspracy theorist, opens up that can of worms.

Don asks the question “What are you gonna do when the GOP wins the midterms?” and the two hosts go on an audio journey that encompasses an interview David had with Rudy Giuliani, an inarticulate quote from Kamala Harris, and some stuff about the Clintons. Following that up is the answer to the question “Does David suddenly sound like a Republican in April 2020 in regards to COVID?”

And Don does the single worst impression of Fauci on record.

The Apes ring in January 2022 with the tale of David’s battle with Omicron, some discussion about the anniversary of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, and two very different perspectives on Adam McKay’s Netflix satire Don’t Look Up.
