October 05, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 151 — How Donald Trump is a Cyst on Our National Balls and Are We Currently in a Civil War?
D&D start off congenial enough — a moment with David’s kid, some brief discussion of the presidential debate. Then the pleasantries are discarded as they battle it out on the question: Are We Currently in a Civil War in America? It gets ugly.

September 28, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 150 — Optimism Sounds Like a Retinal Disease
In a world so completely falling apart, how does one maintain even a semblance of optimism? DH (squared) get into the weeds on this one and still manage to demonstrate an almost pathological ignorance of names and geography.

September 21, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 149 — On Wedding Anniversaries and Why A Common Language is the Key to a Quality Tattoo
After a week off to celebrate their respective anniversaries, the gentlemen chimps wax on about Don’s eleventh tattoo experience and David keeps drinking and talking. And drinking. And talking.

September 07, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 148 — What Was That Actor’s Name Again, the One Who Died?
The topics today revolve around Don’s curiosity at what David actually does as a “Creative Director” and the fact that neither of them are finding voice for their personal writing in the midst of work hours, family, and the crushing hate from all sides of the political spectrum. Also, David really wants you to watch that movie with the actor who died recently with the name that confuses him.

August 24, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 146 — The DNC as Televised Wrestling and Jim Crow Fan Fiction
We see things through the lens we choose. Poop is a Flower. Moldy jam is white supremacy. The DNC was WWE. A deck of cards is a tiny pistol. “Lovecraft Country” is Jim Crow Fan Fiction.

August 17, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 145 — How Can One Truly Appreciate Looting Without Social Media?
Its an early morning recording and the Apes wander through the Catch-22 of abandoning social media and David’s non-plussed take on Chicago’s BLM Reparations via Macys night. Also, Himmel is finally sucked right into “Umbrella Academy” and they wax enthusiastic about it.

August 10, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 144 — The Apes Have a Class War!
Starting with the question “Is bigger better, is more the goal?” the Apes get into some deep dive into their own financial situations both in growing up and currently. The idea that everyone’s version of “broke” and “well off” are subjective is batted around like a badminton birdie in a Country Club.

August 03, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 143 — The Whole Rigamoro, the Indestructible Nature of an Idiot, and the Nostalgia Porn of Perry Mason
A bit of pandemic nonsense both in the casino and the world. David had to get some healthcare because of a dent in his head and his visit included an angry immigrant and a wonderful nautical gay man. And apparentally neither have a clue about reproductive science.

July 27, 2020 Literate ApeCast Ep. 142 — A Jew Walks Into a Bar and Psychoanalyzes an Irish Adjacent Blowhard
As a follow-up to episode 138 when Don quizzed David, this episode is David’s attempt to “dig into Don’s soul” and do his level best to put him on the therapy couch. With talk about his past, his anger issues and where they might come from, and where his almost PollyAnna optimism comes from, this is a dive into why the ApeCast’s biggest asshole embraces that moniker
