Literate ApeCast Ep. 215—Bloodsport and Bullshit

Don asks the question “What are you gonna do when the GOP wins the midterms?” and the two hosts go on an audio journey that encompasses an interview David had with Rudy Giuliani, an inarticulate quote from Kamala Harris, and some stuff about the Clintons. Following that up is the answer to the question “Does David suddenly sound like a Republican in April 2020 in regards to COVID?”

And Don does the single worst impression of Fauci on record.

In a rare moment, the Chimps have a female guest and talk about writing instead of Marvel movies!

Literate ApeCast Ep. 206—On Being an Asshole, Leaving Faceborg, and the Incompetence of Democrats

Don has become one of those “Steps” people to David’s dismay. Also, Don is an asshole and will endeavor to keep his opining to himself in conversations (don’t hold your breathe). Apparently, David has a few issues with Stacy, a woman he lives with but who is not his wife and he (kinda) left Faceborg.
