Ep 129: Third Tier Is Better Than No Tier

If specificity is the key to podcasting success, the men of The Spoon are giving it their level best this week by digging deep into their pop-musical dorkitude, getting granular on the magical combinations of slickrick-ness, slobrob-ness, and smartart-ness in their favorite artists, and championing random acts of stoopid. Plus, special guest Allen Lulu dispenses sage acting advice and wearily approves of the Marvel movies, all while on a mission to clean up Los Angeles -- literally! Music by Sorrows. Bruce Matis, and Pink Slip.

Ep 128: Of Birthdays And Bro Rock
Ep 128: Of Birthdays And Bro Rock

For the first time in over a year, Robbie, Chris, and Thom meet in the same room to conduct their Spoony business, and there is much rejoicing, as well as much talk of music, mortality, microphone protocol, and alternative uses for human skin. (Hey, you bought your ticket, you knew what you were getting into...) Music by Plasticsoul, Patrolled By Radar, and The Neighborhood Bullies.

Ep 127: A Little Fuzz On The Needle

At long last, the men of The Spoon welcome the mighty Matt Brown (resident of New Jersey and The Internet) to a special after-dark edition of our little show. Tales of many sizes, shapes, colors, and flavors are spun from this historic gathering, including but not limited to the genesis of Theme Music, the metastasis of Idiocracy, the resurrection of Cosmos, and the legend of Suzy Thunder. Plus, Rob's birthday is imminent, and Frankie finally gets a word in...or, at least, a snuffle. Music by Crazy Squeeze, Gameface, and Jimmer Podrasky.

Ep 126: There Will Be Shin-Kicking!

This week the men of The Spoon, along iwth the able assistance of multi-hyphenate mirth-making magnate Fletcher Rhoden, concoct a tasty stew made up of roughly equal parts righeous indignation, benign bemusement, and reality TV sausage. Plus, the death of pop fashion, the birth of the food replicator, and the proper number of strings for a bass guitar. Music by Mr Rhoden, as well as Chris Von Sneidern, and The Vampyre Bunnies.

Ep 125: The Solution Lies In The Many

Dave Shalansky returns to The Spoon, his sunshine-fueled, coffee-flavored personality propelling the show to new heights of topic hopping merriment. We'd list them all here, but really, once the patent trolls take over, what's the point? Just keep in mind that it's always darkest before the Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk, and everything will be Ok. Plus, a new installment of Love Bites, and music by Uncle Green and Joe Giddings.

Ep 124: Nobody Hugs And Nobody Learns

It's a dark world out there. A lot of stuff going on. There are things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you ...shouldn't understand. This week, the men of The Spoon get to the bottom of an uncomfortably long list of those things, dancing around the ephemera of the fringes and questioning every answer. Also, a hefty dose of TV nerdery, and yet another cast member's medical malady. Music by Randy Burns, Jennifer Trynin, and Eytan Mirsky.

Ep 123: Don't You Know Who I Used To Be!?

After a week's hiatus, the men of The Spoon come roaring back to ruminate on adventures both individual and collective. Rob romances CNN, Chris combines snowblower technology and pest control, and Thom treats us all to the gory details of his recent eye surgery. Plus: the flashpoint of creation, the golden age of television, the debut of a new mid-show segment from Rob and Lisa Orkin, and the best/worst baseball song you've ever heard. Oh my stars and garters, what a lovely tea party! Music by The Running Jumps, Honeychain, and Scott Stapp.

Ep 122: Eating Up That Big Sniglet Money

The men of The Spoon are feeling a little intellectually punch drunk this week. Need proof? Look no further than the sheer volume of motley, off-beat slang that permeates their discourse as topics veer wildly from Olympic fever to sangria-fueled snowmobiling to pondering the nature of poetry with semi-straight faces, and a hundred conversational hyperlinks in between. Plus, the return of Sodomizing A Legacy prompts a call for artistic death panels...of a sort. Music by Anni Celsi and Corin Ashley.

Ep 121: They're Right Behind Me, Aren't They?

This week finds the men of The Spoon striking a swell balance between whimsy and pragmatism, doggedly deconstructing deconstructionism, stacking things on top of other things, and just generally cheering on the nitty gritty nerdosity of topics ranging from songwriting alchemy to chickpea cookery, while also pondering the elastic nature of time in the pop culture realM and almost forgetting to mention the rise of the Superb Owls. Almost. Who is this episode for? No one and everyone. It's like the wind, baby. Music by Material Issue, The John Faye Power Trip, and Joe Armstrong.

Ep 120: Most Of Life Is Made Up
Ep 120: Most Of Life Is Made Up

Our favorite frenemy Bill Funt  returns to the show, and the sparks they do fly. This week's episode runs the gamut from cradle to grave -- literally! -- with stops along the way for pop culture groupie wars, underappreciated British comedy, a fantastic solution to the Happy Birthday problem, and a peek or two behind the Spoony curtain, whether you want one or not. Plus, traveling and fighting and traveling and fighting and traveling and fighting. And fighting some more. Music by Randy Burns, Ronnie Mack, and Johnny Angel Wendell.
