Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.
Join us on our expedition through the uncanny valley that is this beverage tasting experience. Listen as we google things. Imagine as we discuss freshly squished stuffs. Hear the screams of horror. Smell the weird odors and meet the creepy party people as we debate what Carl Jung is worth and uncover a three ringed secret.

Today we confess that we just aren't that into it as we debate who is the student and who is the teacher. What kind of school is this!? Matthew puts on his NPR voice and Pliny the Elder makes a cameo appearance along with horses (of courses). After encounters with knobbly roots and mischievous elves we eventually suggest our listeners do some work for us.

Today we're covered in faux leather, QR codes and chalk dust as we try to remember why we are doing this. We share our turn ons and turn offs, why we enjoy the tight and the sprawling and what the most grave disservice to humanity is as we discuss restaurant menus. We encounter bloopies and too much mystery before feigning surprise and discovering the thief of joy.

Today we're under the banner of taco as we eat delicious bags of garbage with while fondly remembering Colonel Mustard. Matthew plays Columbo and Molly gets the munchies as we discuss taco topology, surreal beans and Kermit conglomerates. Finally we celebrate and eulogize(?) Producer Abby's 10 years of hard labor.

While talking tomatillos we blow minds and shatter worlds as we conclude that it's all about the journey, not the destination. (But really, what is at the end of Memory Lane?) We follow the lego brick road as we encounter two Sheens, three husks and wakes of vultures all in an attempt to define "slimy".

Today we open up the encyclopedia to learn some "fun" facts about hot seeds as Molly goes deep into mustard territory while Matthew warily observes from afar. We're hot and cold, seedy and smooth, contagious and inspiring as we discuss equivalent sins, foot paste and our top 3 World's Fair inventions.

Apparently Matthew and Molly accept vegetable cakes as a concept so they immediately dive right into a cheesecakecarrotcakechuckanutbayslice with conical rasps and dreams of strong greavy. After their sense of wonder is reawakened, they realize that carriot cake is very necessary for all such as delight therin and are so served.

Close your windows and put on your mechanical gumshoes because we're talking Meringue today! We're totally stable as we recount the meringues of our youth, share our 7 minute in heaven dreams and (barely) avoid weeping all over the matrix before confessing our true thoughts on tasting menus.

Today we confront our taste memories of steaming food to see if they deserve their bad reputation. We provide invisible jokes, fragrant scents and forgotten Simpsons characters to decide what steams and what doesn't. Not Available Elsewhere. Bears and School Principals Sold Separately.

Today we're sticky like Pooh Bear as we engage in some Christmas foreplay and hop on the swicy train. We like to bring about taste solutions through proprietary blends as we make prank calls without punch lines while tasting some Mike's hard honey. Eventually, we become overfull of feelings when Molly says the most disgusting thing of the past century.
