ApeCast producer Dana Jerman does a Kansas follow-up from her interview with her mother-in-law last year by sitting in the garage with with her father-in-law, Lawrence Volbrecht, and letting the tools inspire her guest for stories of silver making, bullriding, barfights, and boxing.

In the pursuit of predicting both personal and societal future, the chimps discover that David’s In-Laws think he’s basically Jerry Seinfeld, that Don has no Jew Radar, David’s barber is a benign racist, and present three headlines to predict their personal journeys in the coming year and five headlines that foretell the trends and news of 2022.

WARNING: There might be weed and whiskey involved so this fucking thing devolves into two morons drooling on their iPads.

David and Don walk through the possibilities of a second American Civil War. Has it already started? Will people die en masse? And what about Jussie?

Joining the monkeys with microphones is none other than Rory Zacher. The three talk about mullets, tattoos, and the worst holidays the can recall.

In a rare moment, the Chimps have a female guest and talk about writing instead of Marvel movies! The Chicago playwright MT Cozzola joins and the three discuss why writers write, how thety write, and David spends a lot of time gushing about Cozzolla’s use of language. I mean, she is one of the few who can effectively use the word ‘verdant’ and not make you run for the toilet, amiright?

Spurned on by Will Ferrell (not a Jew) playing an extremely Jewish character in his latest tv show, the boys discuss the phenomenon Don dubs “JewFace” as well as a dive into what heroism is and what the fuck is an NFT?

No ApeCast next week due to that Turkey holiday.

David and Don show their shocking ignorance of body part knowledge, check out an NPR headline that accuses Chappelle of ‘white privilege,’ and discuss David’s newest tattoo. Avoiding the news of the week leaves conversation in the shallow end of the pool…

Don has become one of those “Steps” people to David’s dismay. Also, Don is an asshole and will endeavor to keep his opining to himself in conversations (don’t hold your breathe). Apparently, David has a few issues with Stacy, a woman he lives with but who is not his wife and he (kinda) left Faceborg.

Also, the best ‘reading while taking a shit’ replacement is Blinkist and Joe Biden is Sheriff Bullock from Deadwood.

Joining the Chimps is Erik Lewin (local Vegas stand-up comic, author, and generally likeable guy) as they dive into the question of comedy in the 21st Century. Could Blazing Saddles be made today? How hard is it to make people laugh?

In Part Two of Don Smith joining in, we talk about his distatse for the bombast of the MCU.
