Literate Ape co-editors Don Hall and David Himmel hold court, interview interesting people and talk about the perspectives of the week.
Reading the feed…
Himmel hates his local grocery store, the subject of Jason Arday’s suicide gets some time, and a new segment is introduced!
Himmel has had a pretty rough week. Hall has had a fantastic week. They both would go gay for Michael B. Jordan. That glass is always half full, gang.
The chimps got so excited about the new Spiderman movie that they reversed the show order. No Go do some Criss Cross pants thing already.
Hall is comfortably relocated in Kansas and bought a car his first day back. Himmel is writing for his Substack about why he’s worthy of a job. The Apesac question reflects on the desire to shut down debate out of sheer exhaustion.
According to Himmel, it’s the end times because his kid has lice. An ApeSac forces these two idiots to talk about their writing processes and they have really awful ideas for stories.
Hall is packing. Himmel is SubStacking. The ApeSac opens up stories of dead bodies.
In this pod, Hall is moving back to Kansas, Himmel thinks the term ‘dive’ is an insult to bars, and both wax on about the fashions of their youth.
It’s the week after Independence Day and the Apes have much to discuss.
Hall tries a different mic set up (not great) and Himmel is feeling apathetically patriotic.
Himmel has a highly unusual approach to public urination. Of course, the Apes get into the details.
Himmel’s on a family trip so Hall brought in a ringer: Chicago’s Finn Birach.
Hall is, once again, FUNemployed. Himmel discovers the family Guiness Book of Records connection. It’s tough being a man these days. Plus an ApeSac that has some teeth.
Woof! Lessons of Himmel’s 47th turns into a therapy session with the least qualified therapist on record plus an ApeSac who doesn’t think the Apes are funny!
The chimps get busy talking Elliot Page, a horse in the suburbs, the elites at Delta Airlines, and how to be individual in a world run by algorithms.
This one is packed full of controversy and gauranteed to both enrage and titillate you!
The Chimps in Charge discuss magical thinking, hot chicks farting, violent political rhetoric, and their first cars.
The Apes crack each other up, discuss anger management, and whether Lena Dunham should have two memories out before she turns 40.
Tommy Mills asks an ApeSac that brings out the worst in both chimps and Rory Zacher is a non-verbal guest.
Plenty going on but with Hall’s Steve Austin Memory Hole, the Apes go in deep on Charlie’s Angels, the Love Boat, water beds, you name it…
John Beardmore has some work to making signs after this one.
The Chimps have things to say today. You may not be interested but we sure are!
Yup. We dare. We dare hard.
Himmel is back in Chicago from Vegas and ApeCast buddy Brandon Bruce throws down an epic challenge for the ApeSac.
Himmel comes back from the Middle East and the ApeSac questions which things in the world that everyone seems to love do the Apes despise?
The chimps get into a variety of weeds—from Trump to Epstein to ICE and the insanity of low esteem boys in America—it’s a mess, man!
