The Nerds talk seeing Black Widow in an actual movie theater, whether theaters will ever be more than boutique again, and spoil the shit out of Marvel’s Loki.

Would David really twist a dying Donald Rumsfeld’s dick and is justice served when those who get away with it suffer? How about that creepy fucking bathroom on the 2nd floor of Piper’s Alley in Chicago? And the chimps list their top five Richard Donner films (although David tries to change his mid-podcast).

David is still getting lost in his new neighborhood, loved the last episode that featured Don’s mother, and has a few things to say about Bill Cosby.

David’s moving this weekend. Don is in Kansas visiting family so he turned the ApeCast over to his wife (producer Dana) and his mother to have a conversation about memory, dreams, marrying your parent, and the fact that Don’s mother is an admitted gold digger.

Note: This is a much better podcast episode than any of the 186 that came before.

David feels he is surrounded by death lately so the Chimps talk death, the classist perspective on living rooms, and whether or not your mother’s death will occur to David when he stops to wash his dick.

David just bought a house but can’t find his way around his neighborhood. Don has a legacy of having the world’s worst sense of direction. They also talk about David getting lost in the nostalgia of culling through a box of old photographs in preparation for the move.

Last week’s episode was a drunk one for David and he begged Don to delete it. Why? What did he say that was so horrifying? Couched in a discussion of a dildo for your balls and the awful reality of a no-mask society, does David give us the answers? Will we ever hear the Episode that was sidelined?

Immediately following David’s first work Happy Hour and his subsequent ousting from the bar, Don prompts the alcoholic ape to talk about the things he learned in his 42nd year.

Does GenZ burnout affect serial killers? Is the push to return to the office a bunch of post-COVID bullshit? Was the ApeCast better when it was Don and David in his apartment or since they record remotely? And isn’t Jean Smart fucking rad?

The boys discuss the new maskless world, why David has issue with people on Faceborg writing long-form posts, and then get into disagreement about whether workers have a right to self expression when employed by corporations seeking homogeneous in the workplace.
