What's good team! Welcome back to another episode of The Modern Apes Podcast!
This week we are talking SPACE!! This feels like somehow such an obvious topic that we just haven't gotten to yet. The boys start the show we a new camera angle that they did not know they had.
Daniel breaks down what it was the Rooskies and US were getting into when we "Allegedly" went to space for the first time. Tristan came in hot with the story of the moon landing with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, as well as 7 Space related accidents.
Which again if you think we landed on the moon then this story is for you.

Welcome back to another GLORIOUS week of The Modern Apes Podcast! We are absolutely juiced for out guest this week, the one and only Marito Lopez!!
Known for his wit and quick Canadian humor, Marito wanted to come and talk the Black Panther Party, so we thought we would do a whole ep on "Militant Groups" in America.
Even though Daniel is actively going through it with the coughing and the nose bleed and all that, he still powered through to talk the BPP. We basically go through all of the beginnings of the organization and how Huey Newton got the thing off of the ground. If you liked this make sure to comment some Black Panther facts!
Then toward the end, after the great nose bleed of mid episode Tristan goes DEEP into the Westboro Baptist Church. You know the God Hates (bad word) Guys lol!!
Honestly while not that big, and with recent numbers dwindling the group still has a presence at most well attended public events.
If you liked this ep and want to help support the boys make sure to follow the boys on all socials, and get on that Patreon cause its juicy!

We kick it off with more of a riff heavy start, where the boys breakdown a couple of Irish car safety videos that for sure would not be allowed in the states. Make sure to leave a comment about what you think about the extended video watchalongs on the main eps.
Tristan dives into a list of the 15 wildest technology inventions from the last decade. With the highest of all being the "Napping Pillow", meant for airplane napping. That for sure is not how the boys took it lol!

Welcome back to the Modern Apes Podcast.
This week we are talking......Weird Hobbies! Let me tell you, it gets wild!
Have you ever wondered who the first person was to think to stuff their pet cat. Well we got the answer and it was one sick son of gun named Walter Potter. Tristan starts us off with a breakdown of the Victorian era taxidermist who started the whole preserving of animals. Obviously before you get to a buck on a wall, there had to be a guy who wanted to make a group of kittens get married. Right sounds completely normal.
Then Daniel goes a little more family friendly with the southern art of Catfish Noodling. Which has a surprising group of not ugly women who take up the sport hence the thumbnail. If you ever wanted to know more about sticking your arm in a dark whole and pulling out a 40 pound fish. This is the episode for you!

What is going on this week team! If you have been keeping up with what has been going on with Tristan in his personal life on the Patreon then you know why this episode makes sense. We are talking BREAKUPS, and yes it gets personal.
We start things off with Daniel going into the top ten worst places to break up as per some wild website called the "Red & Black" which is for sure made by some young college chick which is hilarious. I mean on the list to name a couple is right before a family vacation or before a friends funeral.
Then Tristan gets in to one of the most infamous break ups in recent memory, the whole Brad and Angelina spectacle of the late 10's. While a lot of it was public info, the boys go deep into some of the wild facts about the ending of Mr. and Mrs. Smith that you may not know.....and Daniel got a very important fact about one of their kids right based off just his spidey sense lol!

Welcome back to another very exciting episode of The Modern Apes Podcast, with your favorite co hosts Daniel Bridge-Gadd and Tristan Bowling.
This week the boys are talking "Bad Medicine, and no not the smash hit Bon Jovi song! We got some bad doctors, some would say one is arguably the worst of all time.
Daniel kicks us off with the true story of how former SNL star Dana Carvey had what should have been a routine bypass surgery....but based on his unique anatomy the doctor cut the wrong valve in his heart and sent him home. Carvey showed up a week later with more chest pain and a lawyer this time. Long story short and 7.5 million dollars later Dana walked away with a clean bill of health and the doctor walked away with just a bill.
Now Tristan came in with what some call next to the big H himself the most diabolical person in the German army. He is talking Josef Mengele, or as he was known in the camps as "The Angel of Death". With a weird interest in twins and people with different color eyes, lets just say stuff got hairy when the boys showed up. Listen to all of the wildness that would tank the video if I put it in the description. Enjoy and welcome to the Modern Ape Army!
