Stooges? Musketeers? Blind mice? Cornered hat? Whichever metaphor you use, the Men of The Spoon function best as a trio, and this week's episode demonstrates it particularly well. In breakfast cereal parlance, it not only pops, but snaps and crackles as well. Join us on a rollicking journey through voice branding, lookalike partying, role model surfing, ebola panicking, halloween movie watching, the end of all things middle, and more demographic insults than you can shake a white witch at.

The Spoon stirs in triplicate once more! Robbie returns from Spain with a head full of stardust and a gut full of sea creatures, and the show hits the ground sprinting with topics ranging from the mummification of rock to the weaponization of flatulence, with stops in between for vegetarian sci-fi, multiple-choice biographies, millennial insults, a eulogy for the instrumental single, a glimpse into the show's cranky old man future, and a fine array of sweet, sweet white crosses for added courage and zing!

If Bill Funt falls in the woods and Robbie Rist is not around to mock him mercilessly, does hilarity still ensue? You bet it does! Follow us down this week's spoony rabbit hole as we write in our slam books and make delicious s'mores while discussing domesticus interruptus, not-so-civil forfeitures, soda flavors of the 80s, soft vs hard stress, the pros and cons of Sirius XM, online jackass fatigue, and the third coming of Themestock.

Robbie is still out rockin' the continent, but in his stead we offer you the mighty Quinton Flynn, and there is much rejoicing! Ingredients of this week's verbal stew include bands that work, lonely cavemen, handgun substitutes, irregular heartbeats, cool party tricks, unpleasant surgeries, TSA ladles, and plain white sleeves. Plus, Thom gets lost in the gigosphere, and Chris considers having to cosplay Bane just to get a decent night's sleep. Music by Glen Burtnik, Heliopolis, and The Mockers.
