Men in Gorilla Suits Ep. 213: Last Seen…Drinking Coffee and Tea

6:00 a.m.

You wake up in the dark. You don’t want to get out of bed. You move in silence to the kitchen to remedy all that ails you with coffee.

Ah, the afternoon. The morning’s coffee has worn off. Some return to coffee, but many others resort to tea.

Tea and coffee are the most popular drinks in the world following water. (And, some will argue, behind milk.) But even before sodas and juices, coffee and tea are kind.

Coffee and tea often fuel the Gorillamen, so…we dedicate this week to the beverages of the gods…

Before we get to coffee and tea, though, a quick note. After 213 episodes, we’re temporarily moving Men in Gorilla Suits to an every-other-week schedule. Christopher is moving his other podcast, Not about Lumberjacks, to an every-other-month schedule as he gets his current novel into readable shape. To allow him a bit more focus, we’re adjusting the Men in Gorilla Suits schedule until Christopher is done with the book.

And then things will resume as usual.
