The Literate ApeCast

After a group text when a trusted intellectual lowers the conspiracy-boom on both the Apes, the boys chat about how to square the circle and not simply shun their friend. Also, Don is leaving his work as a casino manager to work remotely and wonders what big life-changing risks are worth it?

Don and David welcome special guest James “Jed” Ford and we break down where the film “Rogue One” fits in our collective perspectives on the Star Wars universe. Also, David drank a bunch so there was rambling…

David has hit what we call a “writer’s Block” and the two Apes do nothing whatsoever to help him. That and some deviations into the similarities of the Extreme Left and Right, whether Dan Brown is a worse writer than the broad who wrote “Fifty Shades of Gray,” and the stupidity of replacing vowels with the letter ‘x’.

Would David rather have his son blow a load in face or sneeze in it? Can David tell an appropriately funny Parkinson’s Disease joke? What exactly is the Sack Pack? What is truly the root of evil if there is even such a thing?

A stoned Rory Zacher joins a slightly drunk Don and a stressed out David to discuss Trump’s refusal to concede, fictional characters they aspire to be like, and David’s horrible taste in music (surprising considering he’s the only one of the three to be an actual DJ).

Both happy liberals, Don and David muse where they were when they heard Biden had been anointed, a brief interlude as Harry imitates a losing Trump, and our assessment of why the Left needs to do some serious self reflection in preparation for 2022.

Literate Ape contributor Peter Kremidas joins the Apes to discuss why Don should be more enraged and scared in the wake of the 2020 shitshow and the potential for a second Trump term. It’s a good one!

Don poses the question. David deflects. Don poses it again. David wants to talk about Rachel Maddow. Don keeps asking. The answers are as muddy and scattered as the 2020 debates.

David is previously engaged so get all quarantined and settle in to twenty-four things to do while you wait for Trump to stop having supper spreader events across the nation.
