The Future Monkeys Strike Again! Talking Books & Games w/ Beardy
When the world is bananas, count on seeing some monkeys!
It’s finally happened! The joining of two powerhouses has occurred after YEARS! Literally years, I had no idea it was so long! But here we are, The Future Monkeys back together again! It might be for one night only but eh, I’ll take what I could get. Los is joined by his retired partner in crime, Beardy McWhiskey! They catch up on old times, like old people do. And get mad at social media, like old people do. And talk retro games… like old people do. Good time to bring up this week’s sponsor:
Metamucil Fiber Supplement! Made with 100% psyllium husk, now you too can use the bathroom like normal humans who eat healthy for every meal. Take it regular, to keep you regular!

Topics up for discussion (links below contain affiliate links where I receive a kickback if you wind up using them, thank yoooooou!):
- The woes of keeping up with social media (A good read to follow up with this – Separating Myself From Social Media – from right here on the blog)
- Retro gaming – Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, Link’s Awakening, The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
- Modern gaming – Expedition 33, Fortnite (how many skins do you think Los owns?!)
- Books they’re reading/read – Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (check out this sweet Deluxe Edition coming out in December!), Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann
- Shows and movies – Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Interstellar

And more! Come for the conversation, and stay to see how crazy Los’ cat is.
Adios until next time!
