In the beginning, there is discussion of our American stew of propaganda, fear, and violence, and what might be done decrease its levels of poison, or at least lighten up the flavor. In the end, there is much whimsical jousting about cartoon people, video rodeo and the bureaucratic nature of the universe. And in between, splitting the show's two sides like a diamond bullet to the brain, is the return of Oliver Mattson. Prepare thyselves. Music by The Bus Boys, 3D Picnic, and Kristian Hoffman.

The Spoon's family has suffered another heartbreaking loss, as today we say goodbye to Chris's beloved bulldog Frankie. Then Quinton Flynn arrives on the scene in revealing and relatable fashion, ready to hurl hilarious, narrowcasting smart-bombs. Plus, fake news evolution, demonic phone possession, late night host dishing, action star metaphors, random calls from the south, and a generous quantity of artisanal moonshine to wash it down. Music by Linda Horwatt, The Day I Fell Down, and Fernando.

The men of The Spoon come together to celebrate and mourn, as friends and heroes pass away and 2014 edges ever closer to the suck column in the annals of history. But though our cups of sadness are saturated and our shame drawers are packed, we take comfort in the punky spirit of art unfettered by cynicism, liberally laced with camaraderie, gallows humor, and not so cheap sentiment. And you are more than welcome to join us. Music by Randy Burns, The Dickies, and Pursuit Of Happiness

The world has problems, the men of The Spoon have solutions! Some of these solutions may appear to merely be needlessly elaborate long cons which serve no purpose other than our own amusement, but to paraphrase the great Sledge Hammer: trust us, we know what we're doing. Plus vomiting scenes, coyote scams, padawan braids, 9/11 protest songs, the return of Sharknado, the best worst segue ever, and a new round of spoon feeding. Music by Maria McKee, Throttle Back Sparky, and Gear Daddies.
