Remember when playing childhood sports in the backyard in an unorganized fashion was fun? Maybe for some of us, if we really try to remember those moments, we remember more kickball games ending in anger because someone tried to make up a rule on the spot than games ending in laughter and joy that we just had a great time. Turns out having an ump in that scenario doesn’t change much. There’s something about organized sports that creates different kinds of memories, character development, and enjoyment. We enjoy looking back and forward into our kids’ experiences as we get to watch them. If they stick with it and try really hard, maybe they can professionally become athletes who fall down in front of refs to manipulate a game just like their heroes! You know what didn’t flop? Our streaming suggestions. This week, in addition to NBA playoffs, we’re watching Rental Family, A Man Called Ove, The Last Rifleman, Is This Thing On?, Love on the Spectrum, This is a Gardening Show, Pluribus, and Foundation.

Wanna hear what three middle class guys sound like when they’re bird watching? How about if Kory is still alive after running a 5k? Or what happens when a guy known to avoid confrontation finds himself challenged by drive-thru workers and inconsiderate spectators? Then listen to this episode! We share some more thoughts on fast food etiquette as well as get into some streaming with special guest Greg Oden. Part of that sentence was click-bait. But what’s not click-bait is Something’s Burning with Bert Kreischer, Squid Game: The Challenge, and Redemption. How do you handle people who get in your way? What are you watching?

And if you must begin to pick to choose which kid’s sports endeavors to follow more loyally, is it automatically the middle child who gets less attention?

Happy Birthday to Dillon! And Happy Easter to all of you! Both things are late, but we mean it anyway. Speaking of Easter, Kory got to try out his acting chops…guess who he got to be in THAT story. During our weekend recap, Kory shares how two of his kids made use of his health insurance, then we share some of YOUR answers of how you treat yourself on vacation.

Think twice about the last of the fish and don’t eat the corn chowder. Dillon continues our recent experiences of interesting hotel restaurant dinners, and it’s not a great experience. But he was warned. Do you take advice from servers? And next time you have left-overs, wake up the next morning and wrap whatever it is in an egg blanket and American cheese. You never know what you’ll find! It’s a little game Kendall plays and it’s called, “Will it Omelette?” Speaking of left-overs, what do you do with the mound of unused ketchup packets at the fast-food dining table?

Dillon continues our recent experiences of interesting hotel restaurant dinners, and it’s not a great experience. But he was warned. Do you take advice from servers? And next time you have left-overs, wake up the next morning and wrap whatever it is in an egg blanket and American cheese. You never know what you’ll find! It’s a little game Kendall plays and it’s called, “Will it Omelette?” Speaking of left-overs, what do you do with the mound of unused ketchup packets at the fast-food dining table?

Over two million Scoville units later, the three of us are back to talk about our Hot One’s experience. Kory received the box of sauces for his birthday, we ate some crappy wings, we sweated on camera, and now we’re describing the feels and the aftermath. Thank you to Brad and Jeremy! Maybe don’t treat your flight attendants to Da’Bomb, but maybe do gift them a nice box of chocolates. Is it ethical to bribe service providers for better service? In the back half, Kendall has a strange encounter with middle-aged fantasy animal trainers, while Kory and his wife had a different strange encounter with a restaurant worker. Maybe a nice assortment of caramels and toffees would have landed him a bowl without the run-around. We loved catching up with each other, and we hope you love it, too. Until next time, be kind to each other.<br /><br />FTM Merch! - <a href="https://www.teepublic.com/user/fromthemiddle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.teepublic.com/user/fromthemiddle</a><br /><br />LinkTree - <a href="https://linktr.ee/fromthemidpod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/fromthemidpod</a><br /><br />VOICE MAIL!

One basement story leads us to discuss how we react to mildly startling events. Speaking of mildly startling, do you eat tortilla chips naked? You probably do, but I mean it’s the chip that is naked. After the break we find out there’s some deep problems with asking people for restaurant advice and we have more solutions than can be contained in one episode.

We’re reviewing pop flavors and talking basements again! Only the pop is a seasonal comeback from Starry and the basement is Kendall’s. One basement story leads us to discuss how we react to mildly startling events. Speaking of mildly startling, do you eat tortilla chips naked? You probably do, but I mean it’s the chip that is naked. After the break we find out there’s some deep problems with asking people for restaurant advice and we have more solutions than can be contained in one episode.

Your local mall is probably decking the halls, and we think a presidential election year is the perfect time to take advantage of the joy, even if premature. Speaking of elections, we discuss what voting and cake have in common and perhaps want to join arms in a grass-roots movement to save the nation. After the break, we discuss pepperoni and an innovation that Canada is bringing to pizza. We need your help either finding what we’re looking for or your ideas on how to ask our local shops to flosserize our toppings.

Your local mall is probably decking the halls, and we think a presidential election year is the perfect time to take advantage of the joy, even if premature. Speaking of elections, we discuss what voting and cake have in common and perhaps want to join arms in a grass-roots movement to save the nation. After the break, we discuss pepperoni and an innovation that Canada is bringing to pizza. We need your help either finding what we’re looking for or your ideas on how to ask our local shops to flosserize our toppings. This week in streaming, Dillon shares final thoughts on Agatha All Along as well as Tom Papa: Home Free, Axle F, and more Manning Cast with Jason Sudeikis.

Like any good podcast or media member, we do our fact checking after we’ve already said the thing. Sorry, Raygun. But still, thanks for the memories. Speaking of making memories, our kids are all back in school, and for some, it’s a milestone year! One littler (a young middler), is taking on the world of jiujitsu which sparks a conversation about the merits of martial arts for kids. If you’re looking for a more middle-aged workout at your own pace, maybe you should try a digital marathon! THEY ARE FUN, USEFUL, AND LEGIT. After the break, Dillon leads us in a confession of things we didn’t know existed until it was too late to admit it without shame. Mandolines are not Mandolins. Loofahs come in plastic and organic. And COOKING JARRED SAUCE IS STILL COOKING I WAS CURIOUS GIVEN THE CONTEXT. In streaming and media we talk about Tetris, Twisters, The Last Ronin, and, likely for the last time, The Acolyte.

Like any good podcast or media member, we do our fact checking after we’ve already said the thing. Sorry, Raygun. But still, thanks for the memories. Speaking of making memories, our kids are all back in school, and for some, it’s a milestone year! One littler (a young middler), is taking on the world of jiujitsu which sparks a conversation about the merits of martial arts for kids. If you’re looking for a more middle-aged workout at your own pace, maybe you should try a digital marathon! THEY ARE FUN, USEFUL, AND LEGIT. After the break, Dillon leads us in a confession of things we didn’t know existed until it was too late to admit it without shame. Mandolines are not Mandolins. Loofahs come in plastic and organic. And COOKING JARRED SAUCE IS STILL COOKING I WAS CURIOUS GIVEN THE CONTEXT. In streaming and media we talk about Tetris, Twisters, The Last Ronin, and, likely for the last time, The Acolyte.

Middler extraordinaire and fellow podcaster Jon Lathrop sits fourth chair as we head into Independence Day festivities. He’s a bbq master from Texas who co-hosts the show Grab’em in the Brisket and if his cookout skills don’t make your mouth water, his July 4th USA outfit will. This episode goes way beyond meat, however, as we discuss some of our typical fare: hot dogs being considered sandwiches, shady customer service at drive-throughs, airplane snacks, and people getting in our way.

Middler extraordinaire and fellow podcaster Jon Lathrop sits fourth chair as we head into Independence Day festivities. He’s a bbq master from Texas who co-hosts the show Grab’em in the Brisket and if his cookout skills don’t make your mouth water, his July 4th USA outfit will. This episode goes way beyond meat, however, as we discuss some of our typical fare: hot dogs being considered sandwiches, shady customer service at drive-throughs, airplane snacks, and people getting in our way.

Kory shares one more gangsta Hawaii story before we dive into a new-to-us pizza experience which can be found in Colorado. The “Rocky Mountain Pie” is your entree and dessert all in one package and it needs to move to the midwest. Speaking of Kory being away, we pull back the curtain on how Dillon and Kendall craft an episode in Kory’s absence with a fun game. Then we talk about how great communism is. In the second half we discuss Kendall’s basketball court which is a great place to twist an ankle then smack the first person who asks if you’re ok. Maybe if you had a very specific super power, you could have ankles of steel. But only the ankles. Do you have any mundane superpowers you’d like to have? Let us know via the LinkTree below! In streaming and media this week we discuss Shane Gillis’s “Tires,” Baby Reindeer, Godzilla Minus One, Acolyte, Brats, WWE, and Holly by Stephen King.

Like any good daytime talk show, we dive into the nuances surrounding our culture. Star Wars Day seems to be running wider than it used to and we’re all about it. It’s even made its way into Dillon’s fridge. There’s a new sunflower seed brand aiming to take down the big boys, and all kinds of things are finding their way into ranch. The Midwest couldn’t be happier, but we do ask why cheese needs to be a part of it. After the break we talk a bit about what we’re looking forward to this summer. Kory apparently has Maui friends now. Then we get into streaming and playing with LEGO as Dillon gives us a tour of the Daily Bugle. This week we’re watching Unfrosted with Jerry Seinfeld, The Idea of You, Bad Batch, WWE Backlash, and The Miami Grand Prix. Jump into the socials and let the people know what’s up in your world!

We’ve reached a milestone! And we’ll get to that, but first: Old English Calligraphy. We take the brave approach and ask the questions nobody wants to ask out loud. Speaking of such questions, we also discuss whether you go thoughtfully cheap or extravagantly selfish when someone else is picking up the dinner bill. Then it’s on to the podcast stats as we look into what we’ve accomplished against the rest of the podcast world in our almost five year history.  After the break we talk about the feeling you get when you see your favorite film or tv franchises come to a close. Aptly, this part of our streaming discussion. This week we’re watching Manhunt, Shogun, and Timeless Heroes - Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it. If you don’t, buzz it down and wear a hat. You don’t want the Myrtle Beach sun burning your scalp. May we suggest a nice ball cap featuring your new favorite minor league baseball team to cover your dome while you begin your spring-time lawn care maintenance? Dust the mower off, tame the jungle, then put it away in your new shed while you head inside for some fresh lemonade made in a mason jar. As you pour from the jar, be sure to try the spoon trick we just learned. After a break, it’s time to see what sports are in season now that football and March Madness are over.

If you don’t, buzz it down and wear a hat. You don’t want the Myrtle Beach sun burning your scalp. May we suggest a nice ball cap featuring your new favorite minor league baseball team to cover your dome while you begin your spring-time lawn care maintenance? Dust the mower off, tame the jungle, then put it away in your new shed while you head inside for some fresh lemonade made in a mason jar. As you pour from the jar, be sure to try the spoon trick we just learned. After a break, it’s time to see what sports are in season now that football and March Madness are over. It turns out we still have plenty to look forward to. And YOU can look forward to checking out some of our streaming recommendations!

The Rock…has come back…to the DARK SIDE. The people’s champion has turned heel and is now the guy fans love to hate, albeit with smiles on our faces. Speaking of comebacks, is the X-Men of the 90’s returning? Old school cartoon superhero geeks may get something cool to sit and watch while eating their Kid Cuisine. Just make sure you eat your personal dinner at home instead of packing it along to meet some friends at Olive Garden. Yeah, we talk about food etiquette again and we’re not ashamed, like Sebastian Maniscalco isn’t ashamed to build LEGO and Kory is all in for a girl’s night out at a Titanic escape room! Unlike doing a balancing act on a parking lot curb, there are some things you don’t outgrow. This week in streaming we talk Taylor Tomlinson, Dune, Killers of the Flower Moon, Yellowstone, WWE, and Only Murders in the Building. Call in a message, send a text, or comment on socials!

The people’s champion has turned heel and is now the guy fans love to hate, albeit with smiles on our faces. Speaking of comebacks, is the X-Men of the 90’s returning? Old school cartoon superhero geeks may get something cool to sit and watch while eating their Kid Cuisine. Just make sure you eat your personal dinner at home instead of packing it along to meet some friends at Olive Garden. Yeah, we talk about food etiquette again and we’re not ashamed, like Sebastian Maniscalco isn’t ashamed to build LEGO and Kory is all in for a girl’s night out at a Titanic escape room! Unlike doing a balancing act on a parking lot curb, there are some things you don’t outgrow. This week in streaming we talk Taylor Tomlinson, Dune, Killers of the Flower Moon, Yellowstone, WWE, and Only Murders in the Building. Call in a message, send a text, or comment on socials!

Kendall fails and wins at a silent auction, college football is having a monumental offseason of transitions, and Dillon is nerding out on nut butters. While Kory is traveling, Kendall and Dillon catch up on what’s happening in the world around us. Nate Bargatze was in town and Dillon had the chance to see him.

Welcome to 2024! Join us as we spend some time looking back at the pop culture headlines of the previous year and offer our reactions. Travel mugs, Taylor Swift, Grimace Milk-Shakes, and more are all on the table for us to revisit. In a rare moment, we discuss inflation and the apparent price gouging happening under its guise with differing points of view. Maybe a left turn from our usual topical discussions, but expensive tacos is just the thing to get us going. And although “rizzler” sounds like a new Taco Bell menu item, we find out what it actually means.

Chris Massie is a positive, loving, kind soul with a passion for encouraging others. He has recently seen this passion flow into a book, “The Clarity Question: What does this season require of you?” He also has a lifelong experience of seeing his gifts make positive impacts on those around him. We take a ride into is childhood as he points out some events which molded him into what he is today. We also look at a recent health scare which is already serving him and those who listen to his story. For a man with formal ministerial education who is not vocationally in the practice, he has a personal ministry which matters so much to so many.

Chris Massie is a positive, loving, kind soul with a passion for encouraging others. He has recently seen this passion flow into a book, “The Clarity Question: What does this season require of you?” He also has a lifelong experience of seeing his gifts make positive impacts on those around him. We take a ride into is childhood as he points out some events which molded him into what he is today. We also look at a recent health scare which is already serving him and those who listen to his story. For a man with formal ministerial education who is not vocationally in the practice, he has a personal ministry which matters so much to so many. Those of us (all of us) who sometimes struggle with looking for answers for how to live out what we’ve been given, while we may not find answers, can still find clarity and peace through Chris’s testimony.

Brent Gargasz is a regular guy from Pennsylvania who made his way to central Ohio and filled a gap because he missed something he loved. The best part is the cost of doing so was leaving something he hated. He is a grinder, an outdoorsman, and a Pizza Nerd. Listeners and folks from Newark know what we’re talking about. Pizza Nerds is a nostalgic project that combines the pizza of Brents youth with the pop culture of the same. Do you like pizza? You need to try theirs. Do you like Rugrats, Saved By the Bell and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? You’ll have fun while doing it.

Brent Gargasz is a regular guy from Pennsylvania who made his way to central Ohio and filled a gap because he missed something he loved. The best part is the cost of doing so was leaving something he hated. He is a grinder, an outdoorsman, and a Pizza Nerd. Listeners and folks from Newark know what we’re talking about. Pizza Nerds is a nostalgic project that combines the pizza of Brents youth with the pop culture of the same. Do you like pizza? You need to try theirs. Do you like Rugrats, Saved By the Bell and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? You’ll have fun while doing it. Brent shares his story and the perhaps naive confidence which led him to being a successful entrepreneur.

You’ll just have to listen. A man downed a Capri Sun in record time. Did he DIE of BRAIN FREEZE? Should we try our luck? Click play. Finally we talk a bit about New York food vs the world.

Like John Dutton wrangling up the prairie beasts on the ranch, Dillon spent some family time with close encounters of dangerous animals at The Wilds in Ohio. Did he make it out alive? Tune in to find out. Kendall and Kory have been spending some more time among youth sports noticing the antics and copy-cat on-field celebrations. Did they make it out alive? You’ll just have to listen. A man downed a Capri Sun in record time. Did he DIE of BRAIN FREEZE? Should we try our luck? Click play. Finally we talk a bit about New York food vs the world. Who will reign supreme? We’d love to find out. Notre Dame certainly didn’t come out of the weekend intact. What other death defying stunts should we discuss on the podcast?

You think you know how to operate a fridge, then you end up in a hotel with a foreign appliance which is not labeled intuitively and now you have to ponder the possibilities of hot pop. What do you do? You know what would be even worse? Having to preserve the block of cheese you just spent a year’s salary on in that device. Speaking of cooling things off, Oliver Anthony, the singer/songwriter who recently went viral with an indie music video, had to throw a wet blanket on the political fire which has been flaming. Speaking of enflaming, peanut allergies are on the rise and we don’t know why. We also don’t know why an airplane passenger wouldn’t give you more elbow room if they clearly have the opportunity to. And how about that opportunity Coach Prime seized on opening college football Saturday!? That game was on FOX, so even Spectrum users were able to watch it without using a streaming service.

And how about that opportunity Coach Prime seized on opening college football Saturday!? That game was on FOX, so even Spectrum users were able to watch it without using a streaming service. Did you know you can stream your Playstation screen to a mobile device? It works as flawlessly as Max Verstappen’s F1 season. Listen to how we string all of this together then use the LinkTree below to share your thoughts!

Join us we wipe sweat off our brows for another hour of regular talk. Dillon and Kendall are coming in hot and ready like a cheap pizza to hold things over while Kory is on the other side of the world. As the middle class guys we claim to be, we talk lawn maintenance and our new experiences in the oasis of the midwest where the water flows like McDonald’s real estate profits. Like they say, if it’s time to overseed, it’s back-to-school indeed. Our kids are getting their schedules mapped out and our families are transitioning to the crazy. We have an adorable little cameo from a young aspiring LEGO master. Then we take a quick break. Speaking of breaking, the thermometers broke today along with guess-who’s ice cream machines! Yes. That again. After some complaining about an evil plot to sell hand-held pies, we wade a bit into streaming with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Suits.

It’s Kory’s birthday week! If you ask Dillon, it’s more like Kory’s birthday century but it’s fine. Seriously, one of the world’s newest 39 year-olds is a wonderful guy and worth celebrating.

A class reunion is due, may or may not happen, and we ponder the question of in the social media age, are class reunions antiquated?

We start with realizing we are being lied to all the time. Airline employees, friends with too impressive stories, aliens not existing; as if we don’t know the truth is out there. This ties into a traveling story which transitions into a discussion about airport etiquette. Our opinions are so strong on these things that they take us all the way to the break, after which we dive into some off-season talk of college football and conference alignment. Much like a good Marvel film, the recent moves in the NCAA landscape have some major implications. We then catch up on a ton of streaming including The Beanie Bubble, Happiness for Beginners, The Imitation Game, Captain America, Port Protection Alaska, Step Brothers, Eurovision Song Contest, Hijack, Survive the Raft, Knock at the Cabin, and Quarterback.

Airline employees, friends with too impressive stories, aliens not existing; as if we don’t know the truth is out there. This ties into a traveling story which transitions into a discussion about airport etiquette. Our opinions are so strong on these things that they take us all the way to the break, after which we dive into some off-season talk of college football and conference alignment. Much like a good Marvel film, the recent moves in the NCAA landscape have some major implications. We then catch up on a ton of streaming including The Beanie Bubble, Happiness for Beginners, The Imitation Game, Captain America, Port Protection Alaska, Step Brothers, Eurovision Song Contest, Hijack, Survive the Raft, Knock at the Cabin, and Quarterback.

Between the Hubbells, streaming this week includes The Banker, Ghosted, Shrinking, Real Madrid: Until the End, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Alone, Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now, Tom Segura: Sledgehammer, Suits, and some Formula One. Also, Happy Birthday, Amy! Join in the conversation! Ask us some etiquette questions! The LinkTree below has all the ways of doing that.

Then Kory and Dillon spent some sweet time with family at their grandfather’s place. Ups and downs, funny and sweet, frustrating and beautiful. Like all good family vacations, these had it all.

We hope all the dads listening and the dads in your life had a great Father’s Day! We all did, and we share our gifts of swag: A Wrexham FC hat, Blue Jordans, and an Arm Cannon. We do some gaming talk, specifically about young children and games which may be too difficult or possibly too violent, but they like, “Really really want it.” Kory went on a motorcycle ride with a bunch of leathery, cool strangers and gained some real life experience while meeting a famous YouTuber. Kendall gained some life experience dining from the secret menu at a Chinese restaurant while being guided by a kind Chinese family. Then we learn about how YOU, with only a few thousand dollars to burn, can fly commercial like the celebrities! Maybe it’ll calm your stresses of traveling so you don’t go into a claustrophobic panic and try to exit a plane while it’s still in the air.

We hope all the dads listening and the dads in your life had a great Father’s Day! We all did, and we share our gifts of swag: A Wrexham FC hat, Blue Jordans, and an Arm Cannon. We do some gaming talk, specifically about young children and games which may be too difficult or possibly too violent, but they like, “Really really want it.” Kory went on a motorcycle ride with a bunch of leathery, cool strangers and gained some real life experience while meeting a famous YouTuber. Kendall gained some life experience dining from the secret menu at a Chinese restaurant while being guided by a kind Chinese family. Then we learn about how YOU, with only a few thousand dollars to burn, can fly commercial like the celebrities! Maybe it’ll calm your stresses of traveling so you don’t go into a claustrophobic panic and try to exit a plane while it’s still in the air. We also discuss our preferences of consuming left-overs as we sit and binge what we’re streaming.

Happy belated Memorial Day! For many of us, this is a time to kick off the summer season with barbecues and cookouts, and from Tajin to Mustard and Ketchup Doritos, to a Flamin’ Hot origin story, we have the condiments covered. There’s even a nugget of accidental condimenting via contaminated tongs. But that one’s a delightful surprise. While Dillon continued his perfecting of the griddle burger, Kendall went camping with his family and Kory spent the night in his hammock. Both have comments on what the outdoor neighbor situations did to their relaxation, which leads un to another neighbor question. How much should you care about unkempt lawns in your hood? This one requires some feedback and maybe some hate mail. Do you live near someone who needs SB Mowing to swing by and do a satisfying YouTube video? Also, Kendall is wondering if it’s ok to lie to your kids to make yourself look smarter and Dillon has a gut wrenching and light headed experience while getting blood drawn. Did you pass out listening to his story? Do you also lie to your kids? Have any suggestions on future guests? Tried any amazing lobster recently? We want to hear all about it.

While Dillon continued his perfecting of the griddle burger, Kendall went camping with his family and Kory spent the night in his hammock. Both have comments on what the outdoor neighbor situations did to their relaxation, which leads un to another neighbor question. How much should you care about unkempt lawns in your hood? This one requires some feedback and maybe some hate mail. Do you live near someone who needs SB Mowing to swing by and do a satisfying YouTube video? Also, Kendall is wondering if it’s ok to lie to your kids to make yourself look smarter and Dillon has a gut wrenching and light headed experience while getting blood drawn. Did you pass out listening to his story? Do you also lie to your kids? Have any suggestions on future guests? Tried any amazing lobster recently? We want to hear all about it.

We transition from talking about the skill of reading music to funny screen names, then right into how Dillon’s head is having a Sebastian Maniscalco moment. And that’s just the first few minutes! We then move on to being excited for seasonal activities and Kory paying a visit to the warehouse of pool chemicals to say hi to the scrappy personnel at the front desk. Speaking of Kory, he’s back from New York where he found a new slab of meat to consume after the hungerfest that was a vegan experience. On his way home, a basketball made of concrete tried to smash his face in, but due to questionable driving habits, he’s ok and thinking more deeply about how to best raise his kids.

We’re back! Kory, out of character, tried a plant-based restaurant while he was in (or on) the island of Manhattan and we discuss our reactions; both to the idea of such a place and his experience. On the flip side of that patty, Dillon broke in his new outdoor griddle (much more in-character)! And since Kory is still hungry after horticulture cuisine, we end up talking about what we hope is a tongue-in-cheek midwestern charcuterie board. For dessert: all natural fruit bars. Remember last week’s story when Dillon scared the crap out of Ohio State’s Offensive Coordinator? Will, it seems the Hubbell haunting of Brian Hartline has continued. And after all the food and chance encounters, we wind down with what we’re streaming. This week we discuss Beef, Schmigadoon, A Man Called Otto, and John Wick: Chapter 4.

We bet a handful of you are listening to this episode via Apple CarPlay right now. Better this than Ed Sheeran for the millionth time. There’s nothing like the trauma of smashing buttons on your car stereo to stop the madness to turn you on to cycling. You may, however, have to talk to a stranger at a bike shop who knows more than you. You’ll overthink it and feel intimidated no matter how nice they are. It’s almost as intimidating as the first day on the job as a restaurant server. Either way, you may just need to take the tips as you get them.

We bet a handful of you are listening to this episode via Apple CarPlay right now. Better this than Ed Sheeran for the millionth time. There’s nothing like the trauma of smashing buttons on your car stereo to stop the madness to turn you on to cycling. You may, however, have to talk to a stranger at a bike shop who knows more than you. You’ll overthink it and feel intimidated no matter how nice they are. It’s almost as intimidating as the first day on the job as a restaurant server. Either way, you may just need to take the tips as you get them. In streaming, Kory watched Air and learned the history of Nike pursuing Michael Jordan. Kendall watched John Mulaney: Baby J and learned some sneaky lighting tricks.

Onward into the 200’s for us! Now that we’re established, we had to come up with our venue riders. What pesky little details would we have on our list of requirements should we take our talents on the road? Our answers are probably a little more “middle” than green M&amp;Ms. Also, if we’re on the Deadpool and Rob McElhenny’s radar, perhaps send us a deal! We’re up and comers who would like to corner the European market so we can hang with Stephen and try the regional chocolates. We have quite a bit of streaming to catch up on as well.

Disney dropped a bunch of news to give the Star Wars fans a Greater Vision of future content, then we move along to what Signature Sound and video we’re consuming. This week we’re watching and listening to Gospel Quartets, Jimmy DiResta’s Making Fun, and Pepsi, Where’s my Jet?

For those taking the under on Dillon mowing his lawn since the last episode, this is a good day for you! For those who had a computer-generated NCAA basketball bracket, it may be a better day for you than those who poured over each pick. And for those looking to bet on Conor McGregor vs. Roman Reigns, your day may be coming soon. We talk about all of the above before trying on a new segment for which we can’t figure a succinct title. For now, we’re going with “Things That are Annoying Disproportionately to the Effort Required.” For example, unplugging chargers from home to put in a travel bag. Kory discovers a very cool LEGO building app and Dillon is NOT watching Fall. But we are watching the Studio C YouTube channel, The Watcher, Jackass Forever, Rush, The Mandolorian, Bad Batch, and MH370: The Plane That Disappeared.

Chomp, crunch, hmmm, glug, ick. That sums up the first portion of this episode as we try some exotic chip flavors and a seasonal soft drink. After snack time we get into our normal potpourri of topical discussions. Spring is so close that we can smell it. Perhaps it’s too early to be mowing lawns, but to Dillon’s dismay its already happening. It’s also too early for any kind of decent fishing, but Kendall doesn’t care. Speaking of cold and rainy, Kory made some guy bike for twenty city blocks to bring him five things. The tacos and/or delivery guy may have been soggy, but Kory’s wallet was plenty lighter. After then begging for sponsorships, Kory logs a heartfelt moment of sharing a milestone with a dear old friend and spiritual mentor. We finish off with streaming including Outlander, Ted Lasso, and The Queen’s Gambit. Do you have any insights or stories? Have you ever tried the champagne of dairy?

A last minute decision on a road trip for Dillon’s family gets a bit slippery but is saved by the sage advise of a man in a parking garage. They learned the true cost of a fairy wand, but a journey through the many layers of a Jungle proved to give Dillon the refreshing return to is Dad’s root. All the while, Kory returns to his roots and, like a kid in a candy store, finds the nostalgia delicious. But nostalgia sometimes isn’t for everyone. It’s for you.

A last minute decision on a road trip for Dillon’s family gets a bit slippery but is saved by the sage advise of a man in a parking garage. They learned the true cost of a fairy wand, but a journey through the many layers of a Jungle proved to give Dillon the refreshing return to is Dad’s root. All the while, Kory returns to his roots and, like a kid in a candy store, finds the nostalgia delicious. But nostalgia sometimes isn’t for everyone. It’s for you.

We are back! Kendall lost his voice for a while there and Dillon took a family vacation. Kendall’s voice has returned so he can drop some Australian knowledge on his friends. Dillon is home and brought a riveting, fast-paced traveling story to share. A server at restaurant made the wrong move when they didn’t write down the order, but that would prove to be a mild inconvenience in comparison to the vision of running through an airport as if he’s Indiana Jones with a boulder on his heels. The wife and kids are fine. He’s still recovering. After the break we talk about the Super Bowl and it’s peripherals such as Chris Stapleton’s performance of the national anthem, Rihanna, and commercials. We then move on to streaming including Nate Bargatze’s Hello World, The Pez Outlaw, Hardy’s the mocking bird and THE CROW, and Downton Abbey. It was good to hang and laugh together and we hope you feel that, too.

Merry Christmas everyone! It’s Christmas week, and while Kory is off traveling with his wife, Dillon and Kendall celebrate the holiday week with some lists, statistics, and nostalgia surrounding this time of year. We discuss our favorite sweet treats while we look into a state-by-state chart of America’s favorite cookies.

It’s chow time! Dillon had an idea a while ago that we call “One Last Shot” where we would record eating foods we hate just to see if we maybe have changed our tastes since we’ve last tried them.

Kendall performed a hit-and-run on a deer, and Kory experienced some interesting reporting from the local Taco Bell news reporter.

One man’s “hail” is another man’s dry heave. The game has been played and Kendall’s Michigan Wolverines have defeated Dillon and Kory’s Ohio State Buckeyes. Yes, this means that in a future episode we will feature the outcome of the disgusting food bet the fellas wagered, but for this episode, we’re still in shock by the viewership numbers this game had. The Vegas odds were beat, but Kory in his recent trip still didn’t feel like pressing his luck. Instead he and his special guest took in the sights and ate the overpriced food. Meanwhile, Dillon listened to the nostalgic harmonies of The Gaither Vocal Band. The faces are mostly different, but the aroma of the room never changes. Speaking of aromas, Kendall is past his first COVID infection, but some of his sense of smell remains awry which is effecting one of his favorite beverages. We touch on LIV golf, the Saudi-backed competitor of the PGA before we get into our media usage. Dillon is loving seeing Ted Lasso on FIFA 23 for PlayStation while also continuing his “Aladdin and Jasmine” journey into World Cup soccer. Kory has finished Andor and has watched Beast, Force Majeure, and The Square. Kendall is ruining his brain on professional wrestling. Please chime in via voicemail!

Dew Fruit Quake which they cheekily mailed to us and is likely still smoldering in Dillon’s intestines. We also talk about other things like sports, Star Trek vs. Star Wars, and commercialism for the elderly. This was truly a blast for us.

Halloween is barely over, which is just another way of saying “Merry Christmas!” Or at least, it’s time to take a look at the movie trailer for A Christmas Story Christmas, the highly anticipated sequel to the classic Christmas Story film. We recommend checking out the sequel, but in the privacy of your own bathroom at home where you may listen at full volume without the judgement of the stranger in the neighboring stall. If you do have time to watch the film in a public restroom, there may be something wrong with you. Perhaps it’s just the fruit cake flavored Mt. Dew you sampled, or perhaps you should talk to your chiropractor. Enough bathroom talk. Now onto our streams. We have recently watched and offer some thoughts on The Patient, Only Murders in the Building, The Mole, and just to level things out, we share our thoughts on Kanye. What are your thoughts on Ye?

Happy Halloween, Middlers! We kick off our spooktacular with a look into Halloween and Holiday adjacent movies; films which aren’t necessarily holiday specific in plot, but perhaps support the holiday setting we enjoy. Die Hard would be a good example, but we all know that one is a Christmas movie through and through. Kendall brings up a book because he thinks he’s soooo smart. Nerd. Then, before we get into some state-by-state stats on Halloween costumes, Kory ponders a question about feet on planes. Should men take their shoes off mid-flight? Is it different for women? Finally, we close this abbreviated episode with a peek at Kory’s thoughts on Hocus Pocus 2. Have you seen the long awaited sequel? Do you want to see man feet?

You may want to grab a snack for this one. We live one of Kendall’s pizza goals courtesy of the Hubbell brothers and The Eagles Villa Pizza while washing it down with some of Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson’s Teremana Tequila. For dessert we try some Great Britain exclusive Kit Kat flavors with Mt. Dew Voo Dew 2022 edition. Between bites, we manage a smart and nostalgic conversation about news papers and books. We wonder if we’re among the few who would rather have the tactile and shareable experience of a physical book instead of using an app or reading tech. Kendall also enjoys getting a newspaper, but that’s probably just because he likes fussy things. NASA’s janitor gave the science people a crazy idea as they shot a DART at an asteroid to see what kind of damage it would do. For Answers from the Middle, we discuss the neighborly etiquette of asking for favors. And finally we share a bit of streaming and gameplay. Soccer is really hitting the spot in that category.

We live one of Kendall’s pizza goals courtesy of the Hubbell brothers and The Eagles Villa Pizza while washing it down with some of Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson’s Teremana Tequila. For dessert we try some Great Britain exclusive Kit Kat flavors with Mt. Dew Voo Dew 2022 edition. Between bites, we manage a smart and nostalgic conversation about news papers and books. We wonder if we’re among the few who would rather have the tactile and shareable experience of a physical book instead of using an app or reading tech. Kendall also enjoys getting a newspaper, but that’s probably just because he likes fussy things. NASA’s janitor gave the science people a crazy idea as they shot a DART at an asteroid to see what kind of damage it would do. For Answers from the Middle, we discuss the neighborly etiquette of asking for favors. And finally we share a bit of streaming and gameplay. Soccer is really hitting the spot in that category.

In the wake of the recent state funeral for HM Queen Elizabeth II, we take a moment to nod to our friends in Great Britain. We also, in our admitted ignorance, discuss our fascination with the idea of a current first world monarchy and the pageantry found in its midst. Then we discuss taco juice and Walmart shirts as prompted by a middler. We follow that with an epic story of a different middler’s bathroom experience, then another potential epic of Batman vs Iron Man. Two smart guys with tech instead of traditional superpowers have a fake fight. We try to predict the winner. After the break, we dive into modern fashion and realize that we are old enough to not get it. Kendall shares how heartless he is with birthday cards, we discuss the underrated recording artist Ben Rector, and Dillon wants to make video games fun again.

After a quick sip of some of Michael Buble’s sparkling water, we dive into some camping stories. Kendall shared some fun family time in the heat and thunderstorms while Kory camped with his son and what may have been a raccoon who was having a bad night. It was probably the humidity.

After a quick sip of some of Michael Buble’s sparkling water, we dive into some camping stories. Kendall shared some fun family time in the heat and thunderstorms while Kory camped with his son and what may have been a raccoon who was having a bad night. It was probably the humidity.

This episode is another flow-of-thought sort of thing, but we discovered an unintentional theme: fatherhood. We hit several stereotypes about ourselves such as finding ugly yet comfortable shoes, not wanting salespeople to hassle us, bourbon, golf, and home maintenance. Speaking of the latter, Dillon is moving his family into a new home! The freedom of spending as much time as he wants on the toilet without others knocking on the door is about to be upon him faster than Kory can decide enough is enough on trying to stay in a fairway. Speaking of toilets, Fazoli’s makes a pleasant cameo in this one. It’s not great, but it’s good enough, fast, and cheap. So pull up your tube socks, cut off your jeans, and pour three fingers of Buffalo Trace. We’re here for the dad talk. Then find your way over to the Facebook group or to our voicemails.

It’s good to be back in studio to catch up. Thank you for understanding our one week break. Dillon and Kory lost a very important and loving piece of their lives, but their grandmother still managed to get the family together for some singing and other sweet moments. Enjoy Jesus, Queenie! We get a chance to discuss some fishing. The sentimental moments of catching large sunfish in grandpa’s pond and falling clumsily from a small boat are among our fishing stories. Dillon talks about his (almost) new house (hopefully) that he gets to move his family into (if all goes well). Kendall has some bird stories involving a new foster situation and speaking to the cops about another parrot. Then we talk at some length about the new BIG 10 conference expansion to the Pacific coast. We finish with a dash of streaming. Thank you, friends. And join us next week.

Designer, letter specialist, and creative director, Dylan Menges is a seasoned creative who has never stopped his pursuit of who he is and what he does. His dedication and honest approach to his work has served him and others. This week, it serves us as we have an opportunity to discuss his career, his life, and his perspectives. From his childhood of “independent creativity” to his current realization of “ideas and differentiation,” Dylan is generous with sharing his experience and what he is learning about being a “maker.” Dylan Menges is the newly appointed Creative Director for Bible Project.

Designer, letter specialist, and creative director, Dylan Menges is a seasoned creative who has never stopped his pursuit of who he is and what he does. His dedication and honest approach to his work has served him and others. This week, it serves us as we have an opportunity to discuss his career, his life, and his perspectives. From his childhood of “independent creativity” to his current realization of “ideas and differentiation,” Dylan is generous with sharing his experience and what he is learning about being a “maker.” Dylan Menges is the newly appointed Creative Director for Bible Project. He also operates his uncommon venture, Menges Design. Thank you, Dylan, for your time and wisdom.

Ope! Is it too early to talk college football? Not when Sam Sprunger is around! Sam, fellow midwesterner and OddPods podcaster (of 500 Section Lounge and Big 10+4), hops into Kory’s chair for this episode. And while Kory is on a well deserved vacation, we take the moment to discuss sports in the back half of this episode. But before we get into the way-too-early rankings, we spend the first half talking about midwest stereotypes. Discussing corn and beans, saying “ope”, refusing to go first at intersections, and smelling a future rainfall are just a few things we agree are fair markers of life in our parts. We had a lot of fun, and as teased in the episode, there’ll be some bonus content on YouTube in the near future which was birthed from this recording.

Do you trust your mechanic? On this episode, Kory and Dillon delve into the dynamic of believing what an auto shop is selling. Kory shares a fun story about meeting a fake Brit, and then the brothers continue the “Answers From the Middle” segment. How do you respond to a never-flusher?

We kick this one off by sharing some responses to our question from episode 146 about things you’ve tried to share with loved ones but it didn’t go as hoped. This was a great topic with some fun interaction. Thank you! We also share a couple stories which give us hope for the future of the service industry, including one which begs the question: if a restaurant gives you free food, is all forgiven? We generally think free food cures a lot of woes. What do you say? Also, in a rare moment of discussing something political, we dive into the possible permanence of daylight savings time. There’s also something about firearms. We have a quick mention of the Oscars, which had clearly not occurred at the time of recording this episode.

Beyond cutting tight fades, this includes his ability to mold into whatever conversation is at hand.

Ray also answers a few of our barber shop questions, sharing what he thinks folks should or should not be doing when they visit their barber.

We start off with our call to action. We love the interaction in the Facebook group! We are asking if some of you can also call in or send us a message with a question or story you would like us to react to in a future episode. The Linktree below will show you all the places you can do that. The voicemail number is down there as well! The first meat of our discussion comes from Dillon’s experience of joining his daughter in preschool. It turns out even adults can learn life skills in such an environment! We then talk about tiny food. Whether it’s edible or toy food, we’ve noticed a corner of the internet dedicated to folks creating such things and we nod to it. We also geek out not on LEGO, but some “wicked” display cases built for your favorite sets. A nice weekend led to some fun times on the road and the park, Kory took his family to a basketball game, and McDonald’s ice cream machine is still broken.

We are asking if some of you can also call in or send us a message with a question or story you would like us to react to in a future episode. The Linktree below will show you all the places you can do that. The voicemail number is down there as well! The first meat of our discussion comes from Dillon’s experience of joining his daughter in preschool. It turns out even adults can learn life skills in such an environment! We then talk about tiny food. Whether it’s edible or toy food, we’ve noticed a corner of the internet dedicated to folks creating such things and we nod to it. We also geek out not on LEGO, but some “wicked” display cases built for your favorite sets. A nice weekend led to some fun times on the road and the park, Kory took his family to a basketball game, and McDonald’s ice cream machine is still broken. For the latter, a lawsuit may be the answer for how we can get ahold of a shamrock shake and we talk about that.

We discern the problem of the labor shortage then finish up with a lot of talk about what we are streaming. Of note, Harry Potter has delivered some great content once again and Dillon is all about it! We look forward to hearing from you all!

LEGO fans! We have a special one for you this week! Wes Talbott is a LEGO Design Master. Like, a real one. As in he designs LEGO masterpieces which you may have purchased from an actual store. We had an opportunity to chat with him and asked the questions to get the inside look to what goes into creating a LEGO design. Behind the scenes things you would never think about, an in-office wonderland of bricks, how ideas go from a person's mind to a retailer's shelf, and more. Wes designs from Denmark, where he's lived since he left his hometown, a fact which brought up a conversation of its own. This one is really fun. Wes is a chill guy with a generous posture to our wonderings as we geeked out a bit.

Like, a real one. As in he designs LEGO masterpieces which you may have purchased from an actual store. We had an opportunity to chat with him and asked the questions to get the inside look to what goes into creating a LEGO design. Behind the scenes things you would never think about, an in-office wonderland of bricks, how ideas go from a person's mind to a retailer's shelf, and more. Wes designs from Denmark, where he's lived since he left his hometown, a fact which brought up a conversation of its own. This one is really fun. Wes is a chill guy with a generous posture to our wonderings as we geeked out a bit. Thank you, Wes!<br /><br />Wes Talbott on Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wes_talbott/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/wes_talbott/</a><br /><br />Main Landing Page - <a href="https://linktr.ee" rel="noopener">https://linktr.ee</a>/fromthemidpod​​​​​​<br /><br />VOICE MAIL!

Parenting practices, preschool premiers, provision partaking, pipe pitches, podcast purposes, puppy procuring, prime piscaries, and shrimp chips. We steadily released a stream of “p” stories this week. From the sweet experiences of dropping little ones off at school for the first time to watching them catch their first fish, we hit all the feels; including the feeling of tummy rumbles after tasting a Taco Bell menu. We have a little talk about why we enjoy podcasting: the moments to discuss things we like without all the complaining often found in media. Then we complain about driving.

Parenting practices, preschool premiers, provision partaking, pipe pitches, podcast purposes, puppy procuring, prime piscaries, and shrimp chips. We steadily released a stream of “p” stories this week. From the sweet experiences of dropping little ones off at school for the first time to watching them catch their first fish, we hit all the feels; including the feeling of tummy rumbles after tasting a Taco Bell menu. We have a little talk about why we enjoy podcasting: the moments to discuss things we like without all the complaining often found in media. Then we complain about driving. We also perform our first recorded taste test of an interesting Costco find from Dillon. Finally, and not just for the clicks, we talk about Kory’s new puppy! Enjoy!

We were quite excited to welcome Nate Weber, contestant on the History Channel's hit survival series Alone. He generously spoke to us about some of the inside workings of the series and his experience, but it was perhaps more fascinating to hear him speak about life. Nate's thoughtful approach to the fundamentals of living and growing gives insight to parenting, reaching goals, and finding fulfillment. Military experience, a tv show, a learning homesteader, and the like have certainly contributed to who he his.

Happy Independence Day, America! Kory and three hundred thousand of his friends spent the days surrounding the long weekend camping on the hot pavement outside of BMV locations. Otherwise, we generally had decent celebrations despite the humidity. Kendall’s beloved cooler is the only thing which didn’t make it through. This brings up an interesting discussion of things we have lost but regretfully can’t get back. We spend the last half of the episode responding to Middler questions and comments concerning previous discussions! We revisit people being directionally challenged, pet peeves, and freak flags. Those interactions were quite fun and we want more! Please find the details below through our Linktree to find where to do that.

Kory and three hundred thousand of his friends spent the days surrounding the long weekend camping on the hot pavement outside of BMV locations. Otherwise, we generally had decent celebrations despite the humidity. Kendall’s beloved cooler is the only thing which didn’t make it through. This brings up an interesting discussion of things we have lost but regretfully can’t get back. We spend the last half of the episode responding to Middler questions and comments concerning previous discussions! We revisit people being directionally challenged, pet peeves, and freak flags. Those interactions were quite fun and we want more! Please find the details below through our Linktree to find where to do that.

We decided to celebrate 100 by looking at our 99 favorite moments from the past couple of years. We hope you enjoy the reminiscing as we mention what we consider to be the best bits from each of the episodes that led us here. We close with a heartfelt look into what we've become, or at least what we've learned about what this thing could be. From the middle of our hearts, we thank each of you. And Kory and Dillon, thank you 100 times for your dedication to this thing that is bigger than a silly hobby to me.

Also, we admit to the weird things we do when no one is looking. Do you sing musical tunes when you're home alone? Dillon does. Do you make up raps with swear words to narrate your day? Kendall does. Do you rearrange your furniture to suit your gaming preference and order four days of Taco Bell for yourself? Kory does. We round the conversation out by discussing what we're currently streaming as we wait for the new Space Jam film to release. Do you dance like no one's watching on your own time?

We did, however still talk about that but concluded you should get your Grammy takes elsewhere. You come to us for things like lamb tacos and other dumb ideas to Americanize Irish foods. Food is the enemy in Kendall’s life which has kept shirts from fitting right. He shares some of his current journey down the “does this make me look fat when I sit down?” path.  Finally, middler Mike got us watching the newest installment of comedy from Tom Papa. “You’re Doing Great” is his 2020 special that we’ve recently enjoyed. Share your stories with us! Do you have anything we need to watch or listen to? How do YOU cover that handsome gut? Let us know via social, email, or voice mails!

We asked some kids questions about what they thought! Not too far from a young view of MCU you'll find Kendall. There's irony to the fact that he's been binging MCU material recently and mostly for the first time. He gives his take as well. Kory and Dillon, the vets of this universe, chime in to raise the bar a bit on the discussion. Something for all interest levels in here! Also, McDonald's ice cream machines are still broken...and we still very much dislike that. Finally, an old favorite comedian, Brian Regan, has a fabulous new special out! We all watched it.

We also feel the obligation to discuss the biggest, most anticipated, made-for-tv movie of 2020: A Recipe for Seduction. It's the major production funded by KFC (yes, the chicken people) and Lifetime (yes, the cheesy romance people). It stars none other than Mario Lopez (yes, AC Slater) as a young, buff Colonial Sanders trying to save the day and get the girl amidst his founding of a secret spice mix. I made NONE of that up. We also spend plenty of time geeking out over recent events in The Mandalorian.  SPOILER ALERTS APLENTY! An old friend makes an appearance and the Hubbells can't wait to spend some time on it; so they didn't.   Finally, all of our custom designed super fancy and THICK stickers are half off through December!

Kendall feels out the field on the topic as his life and EDC (Every Day Carry) situation continues its evolution. We then share our stories of Turkey Day, a day which led Kory to insurance claims. Also, Black Friday looked different this year with a TON of online shopping, which one would think means you get to "skip the line." Dillon found out otherwise. Finally, we discuss Christmas decorations leaving just enough room for our four minute segment on The Mandelorian before we share what our streaming queues look like.

Just like the Pilgrims. They're actually how manbags historically made it to the Americas. Kendall feels out the field on the topic as his life and EDC (Every Day Carry) situation continues its evolution. We then share our stories of Turkey Day, a day which led Kory to insurance claims. Also, Black Friday looked different this year with a TON of online shopping, which one would think means you get to "skip the line." Dillon found out otherwise. Finally, we discuss Christmas decorations leaving just enough room for our four minute segment on The Mandelorian before we share what our streaming queues look like. We hope you enjoyed your kickoff to the holiday season! We want to hear all about it! Leave us a voicemail or join us on social! The season is about to get fun...just ask Kevin Smith!<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Send in a voice message: <a href="https://anchor.fm/fromthemidpod/message" rel="noopener">https://anchor.fm/fromthemidpod/message</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3900</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c8139befce9cad3b342cf9fa84967a60.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>From the Middle - Thanksgiving Sides, Sci-Fi Ships, and Sports Entertainment</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/from-the-middle-thanksgiving-sides-sci-fi-ships-and-sports-entertainment--43253867</link><description><![CDATA[#077. Thanksgiving is a time to gather around a table, not too closely, and enjoy a meal with members of your household while zooming with your loved ones and coughing into your elbow. Most Americans are familiar with the basics of what that meal traditionally includes, but we discuss the ways those side dishes tend to vary across the country. Dillon gets angry. It's a poll results sort of thing. We're still counting ballots. Speaking of Dillon and ballot counting, he shared some Twitter polling about Sci-Fi spaceships and we had a chance to talk about some geek stuff! Dillon gets happy. After all this, Kory and Kendall revisit the WWE to discuss The Undertaker, Mark Calaway, and his retirement from the sport. The "Dead Man" with thirty years of character-keeping has been breaking the fourth wall and showing us the Mark behind the leather, and we find him fascinating. Thank you for partaking with us. We hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving however your family decides to do it this year.

As a self-proclaimed recovered music snob (emphasis on "recovered"), listen to him struggle with Kory's impression of Scott Stapp from Creed. He also partakes in an experiment where we tell him some of our favorite artists and he tries to nail down our very character.

Also, someone is making a giant career move, a deer gets capped by a midwestern gentleman, and one of us can't decide if we personally relate more to a Cuban sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly.

It turns out they are medically trained professionals who have the knowledge to help you. What should we have asked? Do you have any more insight?

Our friend and art teacher Greg Lawrence joins us to continue an important conversation about the value of art which we touched on an episode ago. Before we took the deep dive into the subjective world of defining art, we discussed some fresh news: the XFL is BACK! OR at least that's the hope. The Rock came bounding into the sports league arena to take over like only he can; oiled up, snarling, swollen, and a big wad of cash. This can only be a good thing.

With a two artist panel built into the episode, this should provide a wonderful look into the hearts and minds of some of those in the industry and those looking to enable the next generation.

Our friend and art teacher Greg Lawrence joins us to continue an important conversation about the value of art which we touched on an episode ago. Before we took the deep dive into the subjective world of defining art, we discussed some fresh news: the XFL is BACK! OR at least that's the hope. The Rock came bounding into the sports league arena to take over like only he can; oiled up, snarling, swollen, and a big wad of cash. This can only be a good thing. Then we somehow transitioned into the world of art. Listen to us struggle and debate as we try to define art and discuss its value.

The quarantine story arc continues as we discover some things about ourselves.  Turns out The Marvel Universe isn’t much to marvel over for one Hubbell and one Eilola, Harry Potter just doesn’t make the grade for another Hubbell, and maybe we could do away with LEGO all together.
