Happy Holidays to all you Chimps, gorillas, orangutans and you damn dirty humanoids! First off, I want to welcome Kevin Toft as the new co-host of Talking Apes! Not only is Kevin a co-host of the Max EFX Podcast and a very valued member of the Ape fandom community but he has friends in high places.

Paul Williams Exclusive Interview

Kevin asked one of these friends to be a guest on this episode. That guest is a national treasure and an icon in the entertainment industry, but many of you know him as Virgil, the orangutan who “knows everything about everything” in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. That guest is Paul Williams in a Paul Williams exclusive! Mr. Williams shares many behind the scenes stories of working with the director of Battle, J. Lee Thompson, as well as Roddy McDowell and Claude “Cuddles” Akins. We also talk The Muppets and The Monkees!

Thank you to all the Apes who sent in Holiday messages that you’ll hear in this episode. You could say that this is our Talking Apes Holiday Special! And thank you once again to everyone for joining us on Talking Apes, we just hope we brought a smile to your face through a rough year.

Now Stay Safe, have a Happy Holiday, a Happy New Year and now…Go Ape!
