Last Seen...Running for Ten Years Pull up a stump and gather round, for I will speak to you now about the Gorillamen... Some say they escaped...wherever it is they once were. Sightings are frequent: in the beginning, weekly. In time, they were seen and heard every other week. Now, they sometimes have a couple sightings a month, but at times we all wonder if they will ever come back. They always do... Somewhere it is written that the Gorillamen met while working for a large finance company, two apes-made-good writing mortgage procedures to [hopefully] prevent unfair practices. It is not likely their work changed much, but it was clearly meant to be...because on February 7, 2013, they crowded around a microphone not-at-all suited for podcasting and...they started a podcast anyway! Now, ten years later, they are still on the run; still being sighted; and sometimes...even heard spreading their own ape-branded philosophy and humor at least they find funny. To say they are another two-guys-with-microphones podcast is true, but it is also false. Over the years, sure...they have wandered off topic, but they are apes speaking with purpose, too. They have talked about some of the dumbest things during the last decade, but they have talked about important things, too. Sometimes they get things wrong, and maybe that's the beauty of the show: they have talked enough that you can see they are on the right side of history -- never afraid of admitting when one of their takes on an issue was off. Apes striving to be better... If nothing else, they did what they set out to do: start a podcast when no one else they knew was willing to give it a go. And if you listen to the wind just right, you'll hear their frequency echo like a voice whispering, "Chill the fuck out...and make the damn thing..." Here's what they talk about this time around... What's your first memory of Men in Gorilla Suits? Aside from starting Men in Gorilla Suits, what else was going on in your life ten years ago? Has Men in Gorilla Suits opened any doors for you in the last ten years? What's the best thing that happened in your last ten years? What's the worst thing that happened in your last ten years? What are you most proud of doing in the last ten years? What do you wish you had done differently in the last ten years? Let's not keep focusing on the past ten years: what do you feel was the most formidable decade in your life? What was your favorite decade in your life? What was the worst decade in your life? If you could live through any point in history for 10 years (with a guarantee you’d survive), what would it be? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? /episode/index/show/meningorillasuits/id/25853529
