A series of conversations between friends, discussing the human experience through thought-provoking discussions, life lessons learned and new ways of thinking.
Fred talks about a serious adaptive mountain biking accident that left him very grateful to be coming away unharmed, while Benji recounts the rather alarming moment he nearly lost his fingers to a handsaw at work.
We also celebrate the long-awaited payoff of a stand-up joke Fred has been wanting to tell on stage for nearly five years, and the fact that, when the moment finally came, it absolutely landed.

Finding Peace After Cancer and Chaos | Connaires Story
In this episode of Apes on Tape, Benji takes a back seat while Fred sits down with his good friend Connaire for one of the most honest conversations they’ve ever had.
Con opens up about one of the most challenging periods of his life, navigating a lengthy legal battle while also being diagnosed with testicular cancer. We talk about how those experiences changed his perspective, forced him to slow down, and ultimately led him towards a simpler, more intentional way of living.
We also chat about buying a piece of land, building a sawmill, reconnecting with nature, relationships, resilience, and finding meaning after life’s biggest challenges.
