The Literate ApeCast

We’re two weeks into 2019 and it looks an awful lot like 2018 — what gives? Today’s episode follows the apes as they discuss topics that include the rage caused by malfunctioning technology, whether or not Louis C.K. is actually “punching down” and the nature of comedy in evolving times, and is politics supposed to be so entertaining?

As always, six activities for you (lots of sedentary watching on this one) to distract you just enough during the week to pretend that your world is not burning down like a seven-pound pile of monkey shit lit on fire with the Constitution as kindling.

Happy 2019! The Chimps jump right into a search of David’s disdain for Chicago in the knowledge of Don’s leaving the place for Vegas, the fact that David really doesn’t want to be seen as “that guy with a boat,” anxious people who bake cookies to deal with it, Don’s utter dismissal of the pseudo-science behind S.A.D., and a highly offensive discussion of the recent NPR poll that indicates that a majority of Americans think P.C. culture has gone too far.

Given that you’re bored and aimless enough to sit and listen to these two rubes at all, Captain Ron and the Asshiole toss out six activities for you that may or may not fill the S.A.D. induced void you wallow in daily.

On the cusp of a New Year, the turning of the Grand Page, the ApeCast takes a look at 2018 from a specifically personal perspective (cuz two white guys with a podcast are required to indulge in narcissism by the Laws of Man.) Topics include feeling sorry for Michael Cohen, the horrifying prospect of Don as a Life Coach, and pre-partum depression. Also, an amazing list of the Best of Literate Ape 2018. What a spectacular way to begin your New Year’s celebrations!

Then, six things to in the lead up to ringing in 2019 to avoid the anxiety of all that is unknown and the potentially democracy destroying elements lurking just around the corner.

Which character from a Christmas film do you think you are versus the one you actually are? Using the rubric of familiar heartwarming stories to examine the difference between ego and self revelation in the way that only the Literate Apes can.

Also, six pieces of homework to do over your Christmas break to offset all those warm feelings and food.

As Don begins the geological transformation from Chicago to Las Vegas, he’s looking at his life and the meaninglessness of existing in a world that keeps moving and drags David into gazing into the abyss with both a sense of hopeless regard and startling optimism. A perfect episode for the holiday season (if the holiday season fills you with anxiety and ennui…)

Plus six things to do in order to keep yourself busy and avoid the thoughts of suicide by cop you envision in the wake of more cheer than you need this month.

Don admits he was both wrong and a big asshole. Moving on from that bombshell, the GentleApes parse out the possibility that we humans are nothing more than machines with consciousness and, if so, why do children not learn to wipe that snot off of their grubby faces? Finally, a bit of YouTube frivolity (in the show notes for your viewing pleasure).

Yes, gang, the guys have six things for you to do so women will find you cool and sexy sans Axe Body Spray.

PLUS, in the show notes is a quick silent video of D&D trying to record a FaceTime call in prep of the bi-coastal ApeCast in a few months.
