What's in a name? The men of The Spoon may not have the answer, but they ask the question with gusto! This week, the politics of professional pseudonyms, the amusing, appalling sobriquets of childhood, the mythologizing of market monickers, the gamble of googling oneself, and the not-so-secret weaponizing of middle names by all parents everywhere. Plus, road gig decompression, documentaries with friends, animation crossover madness, the carnal stats of con culture, and a future segment is born!

The Men of The Spoon don't normally stand on tradition, but a sesquicentennial episode only comes once, so this week our former executive producer Johnny Dam (aka Johnny Darko, aka Leon The Thundertaker) returns to gaze upon the show he helped birth and pronounce his hilarious judgement. Plus, the virtues of a Pennsylvanian lifestyle, how to write a joke, dissecting the Baha Men discography, a short recap on the mid-term elections, and no small amount of self-referential archive diving. Enjoy! Music by:

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!

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.

Things get very nerdy very quickly this week, as Allen Lulu joins Chris & Thom for a rollicking discussion of sci-fi physics failures, alternative fantasy presents, movie tie-in novels, the latest iPhone shenanigans, sculpting the fandom of children, and the value of turning shuffle off to enjoy full albums again. Plus, tributes to missing family and fallen comrades. Happy belated Rosh Hashanah, everybody! Music by Rich Creamy Paint, The Old Joe Clarks, and Sons Of Nothing.

Robbie is off on tour bringing the rock to the people, so Chris and Thom are joined by special guests Bill Holmes and Dave Berges for this week's excursion into whimsy. Topics include big band adventures, advice column musicals, celebrity mortality, mental assassination, voiceover shenanigans, and more weather talk than you can shake something sharp at. Plus, tequila! Music by Selby Tigers, Pete Krebs & Gossamer Wings, and The Woody James Big Band (featuring Mr Berges himself)

Though battling unusual and disorienting recording times (not to mention time zones) The Men of The Spoon remain doggedly on their game this week, whether taking care of business in the front with the horrors of war and the weirdness of biblical gender politics, or dropping a party in the back with the ranking of rock movies and forays into sci-fi nostalgia. Plus, spoon feeding, 20 points of compatibility, and the dawn of battle tennis! Music by The Little Girls, The Onlymen, and Kenny Howes.

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.

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.

The Men of The Spoon can’t solve all the world’s problems, but many solutions begin with discussion, and that’s where we live. Gun violence is still on everyone’s mind this week, as well as the frustrating culture war cliches that surround it, but in between verbal jabs in that direction, there is also time for the evolution of social media, the future of artisanal cheese, the sublime satisfaction of a Scrabble victory, and a bevy of other topics rife with drinkability. Get to chugging! Music by The Orion Experience, Redd Kross, and The Wondermints.

It’s all about recipes this week: the alchemy of combining separate ingredients into new and exciting creations. Cucumbers and ice cream. Guns and churches. Large vans and West L.A. parking. Our fair show and returning guest Karen Blankfeld Bassett. Any animal and any other animal, if Rob ever gets to fulfill his entrepreneurial desires. The list goes on and on, ‘till the break of dawn. Plus, the difference between Grammer People and grammar, people! Music by David Geddes, Suzi Quatro, and The Angels.

After a brief forced hiatus brought on by extremely sucky real life events, the men The Spoon are back to navigate the perils of growing up aimless, the wonders of the microscopic world, the horror movie moments that stick with you forever, and the terrifying celebrity nexus of music and sport embodied by the 1985 Chicago Bears. We didn't come here looking for trouble, but....you know the rest. Spoon on!

No show prep, no problem: anything is possible with a dose of vitamin Q! Actor/musician/co-Snozzberry Quinton Flynn returns to The Spoon this week with mucho gusto, and the sparks they do fly. The high wire of gallows humor, the delicious chaos slash fiction, the melancholy of Captain America, the likely fate of a retired David Letterman, and the white noise of over-documentation are all grist for the conversational mill. Plus, an impromptu musical performance by our own Chris Jackson!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As any toddler or general will confirm, sometimes you have to break something in order to build something else, and this week the men of The Spoon aim to do their share: Chris breaks into the rough and tumble Kerhonksen music scene, Thom has his esophagus broken for him in Vegas, and Rob continues to break the spirits of superfans everywhere. Plus a fit of futurism, a cadence of conservatism, and a taste of TV talk. Music by Chris McKay, Irene Pena, and Hot Pink Racers

Any time that Bill "Pee Paw" Holmes appears on the show, it's a bracing experience. Whether questioning the selective squick of human-based foodstuffs, suggesting alternate uses for yellow ribbons, pondering the eternal mystery of Bata Inu, or talking up his new favorite tequila, Bill's customary comedic rocket sauce permeates the proceedings, and we are all better for it. Plus, Google gets a side-eye, 70s music gets a teary hug, and Morgan Freeman gets...a recurring bit? Oh, boy. Music by The Fabulous Miss Wendy, The Orion Experience, and Rich Dart.

The Spoon stirs once again! Rob, Chris, and Thom hoist themselves back into the podcasting saddle and embark on a voyage over Skypey waters, under Youtube algorhythms, through polar vortexes, and around the rare case of diphallia. Plus the usual potpourri of politics and pop culture. One thing's for certain: the more things change, the more Rob still hates Beatles fans. Music by Jeff Jensen, Steven Shumate, Joe Giddings, and the Theme Music Collective.

You want words? We've got words! Enhance your vocabulary with coterie, behest, and rubicon! Learn how to pronounce coven! Discover the joy of baining! Plus, stories of shocking variety and transience! NDR overlord Johnny Dam's presence unleashes a neutron bomb of jocular tangents, and guest Mike Simmons provides a heavy dose of contrapuntal wit as well as all of this week's music, via his band Sparkle*Jets UK. This one's a barn burner, folks...strap in and hang on!

It's the first trio show in a few months, and the men of The Spoon are more than happy to spend their "alone" time decompressing from a stressful election season while marveling at linguistic remix value, celebrity mustache clout, youthful vehicular insanity, half-assed secessionist movements, and cinematic jingoism through the ages. Plus, Rob gets phished, and the glory of the cutbuzz is revealed! Music by The Condors, 3D Picnic, and Sun Sawed In Half

Last time we had Kelly Murphy on the show, we kept the fact that she is Chris's significant other on the down low, but in this episode their love is both acknowledged and celebrated. And when assailed by killer storms, relentless robo-calls, traumatic celluloid, and confusing joke boundaries, we think everyone could use a little more love. Especially if it's accompanied by food. Not in that way. Ok, sometimes. Music by The Mockers, Phil Seymour, and Cliff Hillis

When we asked musician Karen Basset to visit The Spoon, she was warned of its cat-with-a-laser-pointer aspects, and prepared herself accordingly. Ironic, then, that this turns out to be an unusually focused outing, largely concerning the nature of cool, the alchemy of pop, and the and the arc of the show business curve. Plus, kitties on Roombas! Music by our esteemed guest, via The Pandoras, The Rebel Pebbles, and her own self.

What do we want? Respect! When do we want it? Soon! How do we get it? Uh... we'll get back to you on that. In the meantime, Seth Gordon and Tony Leventhal of The Mockers are here with a flurry of New York stories and impossible dreams, documentary defenses and copyright conundrums. Plus, a little pre-Christmas backlash to counter the pre-Christmas hype, and at least one well-timed bikini joke. Music by The Mockers, Patrick Clark, and The Popravinas.

Joe Armstrong of Independents Day is our guest, and with a fellow musician and radio man in the room, it makes sense that issues of creativity, identity, and media modeling in the 21st century crop up and take center stage. Fortunately, sidetracks into fetish culture, Disney propaganda, and chaos theory, not to mention a couple of left-turn phone calls, keep the baseball from getting too inside. Plus, Freddy flute! All music by Mr Armstrong.

If there is a point to this week's show - and, as regular listeners know, that's a one hell of a big "if" - it's the semiotics of nomenclature. Names have power, whether given at birth, chosen for porn, used as verbs, or applied to fictional plumbing tools. This week's holiday-themed SAL only confuses matters, so we're glad to have Eric Dean Boydston on hand to help us hack through this tricksy linguistic jungle. Music by The Knack, and A Fragile Tomorrow.

It's not often the case that all three men of The Spoon can be so easily hoodwinked, but guest Jimmer Podrasky sweeps in tonight like a comedic Keyser Soze and practically breaks the show in twain with the greatest of ease. Musical musings, dating drama, the proper preparation of monkey meat... no matter the topic being tossed out, it comes back with one hell of a topspin. Enjoy the ride! Music by Finland Station, Elton Duck, and The Rebel Pebbles.

Bill Funt's latest round of thrills and spills as the show's favorite frenemy is augmented by the arrival of musician/TV host/restauranteur Bobby Bognar, and the rising conversational tide lifts boats right, left, and center, with talk of unlikely media heroes, unfortunate cartoon voices, the My Way Murders, the Spoon as Beatles metaphor, and the ever-mysterious question of where meat comes from. Music by Extra, Elton Duck, and Otis Gibson & The Rockhounds

With Chris away on adventures both amorous and aeronautical, Rob and Thom navigate the maturity curve of world religions, the fractal nature of social groupings, the telltale portents of Christian pop songs, and, perhaps most importantly, whether a remake of Red Dawn is workable in 2012. Plus, unexpected visitors, backward backbeats, and what Thom really does while everyone else is talking. Music by Uncle Green, Big Fish Ensemble, and Paul Melancon.
