March 24, 2026 "Deadliest Warriors" | Black Samurai "Yasuke" & King Leonidas | The Modern Apes Podcast
BECOME A MEMBER OF THE APE ARMY TODAY ON PATREON!!
  / themodernapes
Mushy Mushy, Monkey Monkey!
Welcome back to another glorious episode of The Modern Apes Podcast with Tristan Bowling & Daniel Bridge-Gadd.
We wanted to thank you for making the last two weeks (the Luis J. Gomez ep/solo ep after) a huge success. We are growing this thing one member of the Apes Army at a time.
This week the boys are talking warriors. After last week with the Cartoon Wars we thought it would be good to bring it back to the OG core of the pod and do some ANCIENT APES. That and we both really like the show the "Deadliest Warrior".
Daniel pulled up with a pound for pound top ten warrior of all time. King Leonidas leader of the famed Spartan 300 army. We take a brief look inside the childhood of a king and what it took to make it in Spartan culture. Then obviously we jump right into the battle from the film where the Spartans faced a situation where the only way to move is forward, and there is nothing more glorious then a heroes way out. All in all if you like Ancient Greek history and big battles you should like this ep.
Tristan comes in with a person so cool it knocked Daniel's hair back.
Have you heard of Yasuke, well you are about to, and no he's not Afro Samurai….Daniel asked that already so you don't have to.
Yasuke is looked at as the First Black Samurai on record. After showing up in Japan in 1579 he swore his services to Oda Nobunaga and fought during the Sengoku period. Dude was known for legendary fights and probably had something to do with why chocolate youths are all the sudden into Anime.
If you liked the episode and want to support the boys for free, just like the vid and subscribe to the channel to become part of the APE ARMY!!

March 20, 2026 "Modern Cartoon March Madness" | The Modern Apes Podcast | with Tristan Bowling & Daniel Bridge-Gadd
LAST 20 MINUTES OF THIS EPISODE & THE WINNER WILL BE ONLY ON PATREON!! (Really sorry for the inconvenience, NOT A MARKETING PLOY WE SWEAR)
As also for more weekly bonus content, weekly movie watchalongs, and the ever coveted INTERNAL AFFAIRS. The runaway hit of the patreon where we go BTS of the pod and talk about all the DIRT going on in the comedy world. From Kill Tony, Legion of Skanks Drama, and much more go to...
https://www.patreon.com/c/TheModernApes
What's good team, I hop e that you guys are enjoyed the Luis J. Gomez episode last week. Also keep blasting those votes for the Tristan as the 3rd chair on Legion of Skanks, as it all helps.
This week in honor of March Madness we doing our own version of it with "Modern Cartoon March Madness." You guys liked the Bracket Warz style episodes we have done in the past, with the "Bird Wars" and 'Candy Warz" so we thought we would run it back to find what the best cartoon of all time is.
Of course Tristan has a little more of a dark adult cartoon taste. While Daniel lives in the nostalgia of old kids cartoons from his past. With a mix of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network shows thrown in the mix with some Disney and a few random outliers.
Make sure to leave a like and a comment for the boys so they can sky rocket this thing right to the moon baby!! Tell a friend about the cast and enjoy!!

This week the boys decided to switch it up and do something a little different. The boys are going Head to Head in the first ever "BIRD WARS!"
How it works is both of the boys were given five topics of birds as if they were RPG video game archetypes:
Grunts
Speed
Stealth
Brutes
Wildcards
Best of 5 is how the game gets decided, and its off of who has the best argument, not just whos bird is best outright at the highlighted skill set.
