Bill "Yancy" Holmes returns to the show, in an episdoe that not only runs the gamut, but runs it over. Trying to shock an unshockable world, othering through the ages, the evolution of barrel technology, the virtues of voice actors, a hearty round of spoon-feeding, the acknowledgement of a professional milestone or two, and the crazy dream of Spoon Action Figures. Plus, how many ways can you describe a bottle of tequila? Music by Matt Bunsen & The Burners, Abby Travis, and Kenny Howes.

The men of The Spoon are nothing if not adaptable: faced with a last-second guest cancellation, they gleefully charge ahead into conversations both alien and familiar, simultaneously embodying the smartest kids in the class whilst also mocking them mercilessly. This week's mill grist: spelling bee hookups, literary Mt Everests, the semiotics of the mixtape, the mythos of green M&Ms, innovations in cannibal technology, and more. Music by Seven Deadly Five, Sun Sawed In Half, and The Vandalias. 

War. Disease. Necrophilia. Disney musicals. When such horrors are visited upon our world, it is important to remember the good in life...especially if you happen to be special guest Bill Funt, who had no idea what a seriously NSFW rotor blade of a conversation he'd be walking into when he agreed to appear on the show this week. Plus, tattoo negotiations, comic artist rotations, and the true meaning of Ringo Starr's birthday. Music by Martin Mull, The Abe Lincoln Story, and Los Abandoned.

Let us now come together in praise sharpness, whether embodied by the sharp barbs of gallows humor, the sharp hook of a well-crafted pop song, or the the sharp sting of sparking wires near one's genitals while occupying a stolen car for fetishistic purposes. (No, really.) This week, all of those forms and more are employed to keep your Overhost from slipping too far down the sharp spiral of ennui and general misanthropy. Plus, metaphorical poo-throwing! Music by Bad Religion, Finland Station, and The Wondermints.
