So...finally...the lost episode. Gorilla Christopher apologizes for losing his side of the original recording and then...all the wackiness that followed. But...he re-recorded his side of the show and pieced it all together.

It's more to the point because to match up cross-talk would have taken a lot of time. So it's pretty much, "Hey: here's a question!" and then Gorilla Shawn's answer and then Gorilla Christopher.

Here's what was discussed:

• When did you first start contemplating things? (And what did you contemplate?)
• How important is contemplation to you? (And why?)
• How important do you feel contemplation is to a society? (And why?)
• What is the last bigger thing you contemplated?
• How has contemplation made your life better?
• Is there a downside to being contemplative?
• Are we very contemplative in the U.S.?
• Is it better to be contemplative or active?
• What’s the strangest thing you’ve contemplated?
• For someone wanting to be more contemplative, what advice would you give them?
• What is the future of contemplation?

So...it's been a while. We're still alive and still doing our things...we just haven't been recording Men in Gorilla Suits.

The quick version is: Chris lost his side of a recording, we both got sick, and this summer in Texas has really sucked. But if you want to know more, you can listen to Gorilla Christopher's husky COVID voice for five minutes as he catches listeners up on the Gorilla Men's whereabouts...
