#131. In this episode we answer some voicemails and have a lively chat about Van Gogh and Formula 1 racing! If that doesn’t already inform you, we bounce around in this one. We shared an idea to our friends at Grief Burrito Gaming Podcast and they were kind enough to use it, so we touch on that along with the wonderful compliments they had for Dillon. We answer some voicemails which leads us to revisit the discussion about video games playing out in real life, but we add to it moments in our lives which seem to come straight out of films or cartoons. Dillon shares his experience at the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit. Kory shares an interesting moment from his daughter Khloé’s art exhibit. We talk about a Jeremy Piven Christmas film, Formula 1 racing, the WWE, and more! Join in on social! And definitely leave us a voicemail. We love those things. Linktree below!

#130. The Chubby Hubbells and Big K obviously had some fun on this episode. The energy was up and the laughs were filling the studio as we discussed handkerchiefs in a way that some of have never heard. We also take our cues from a couple of Middlers. First by discussing art and photography, then by sharing our leftover stuffing patty sandwiches! There’ll be video on the YouTube channel if you want to see our creations! We bring up The Game (Michigan vs. Ohio State), talk about signaling warnings in traffic, and we finish by sharing the shows we are currently streaming. CALL TO ACTION! Do you think we should record ourselves trying foods one last time (potentially) that we’ve sworn off? Do you have any odd food suggestions you’d like us to sample and react to? Let us know! Follow the Linktree below and contact us via voicemail or the social channels! Thanks everyone!

#129. “I’m terrified of nipple chaffing.” “We’re all just brains with thumbs.” “Maybe they were superheroes or villains and they had regular costumes on with dogs as decoys because they were scouting out something.” CONTEXT INSIDE!

Thanksgiving means a bunch of thankful sentiment. But another mushy thing for at least one friend of the show is to make moist stuffing fit for frying and making it into a sandwich. Such kicks off our in depth discussion about Thanksgiving food from sandwiches to foods people don’t like, to the cranberry sauce debate. We also talk about hobbies we would never see our future selves doing. We discuss the up and coming virtual world of the Metaverse. And we polish off the episode discussing Christmas decorating and one peculiar neighborhood interaction. And because we typically mention such things, Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye is among us! Chime in however you prefer via the Linktree below! We’d love to hear your stories, food preferences, and other holiday preparations! Until next time, Happy Thanksgiving!

#128. It's time for some free form discussion, even if Kendall forgot to turn on his microphone! We start with documenting the day Kendall gets back into the gaming world with Metroid Dread and Nintendo Switch. Kory shares a story from the king of the middlers dealing with an unfortunate squirrel. Dillon would like to put an age restriction on people calling him "baby." And that's just the first half of this one! After the break Kory shares his experience of seeing Jim Gaffigan live, we talk about whether edited family photos feel legit, and who we can picture seeing on TV selling us term life insurance when we're old. We polish it off with some reviews and recommendations of what we're watching. Chime in! Follow the Linktree below to find the voice mail number and all our social stuff. We hope to hear from you!

#127. 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. Thank you, Wes!

#126. Explicit language warning! PodAskew Podcast is a show which takes deep comedic dives into pop-culture and media. Their long-form discussions lend themselves to showing their personalities in all their cuddly glory. They were kind enough to give us some time to discuss the what, why, and how they do what they do. We even get a fast and furious glimpse of what’s coming in the future. So join us as we learn their story, how they prepare, the process behind the scenes, and what their bests and worsts are according to the creators themselves. Thank you PodAskew!

#125. Hang your cloak and witch hat on a peg and sit with us as we chat Halloween! How do others countries celebrate? What are the best and worst candies? What’s the most popular Halloween candy in your state? What are your traditions and stories? Those are the questions we look to answer in this one. We also take a look at some fake but honest (and funny) brand slogans. And, for some reason, Kendall feels the need to hash out Coke vs Pepsi Zero Sugar products. We’ll hope you’ll join us with a listen, a share, and some interaction on social media! Contact us any way you like through the Linktree below!

#124. We open this episode with a couple funny stories from Dillon. Have you ever said something like “you too” after being wished happy birthday? Or perhaps adopted your child’s vocabulary accidentally while talking to adults? Also, do you play out video game scenarios in your head while experiencing real world things? Dillon has. We spend most of the rest of the episode discussing shows we are streaming. The big discussion is over Squid Game, the hit Netflix show from Korea. We talk more about Ted Lasso, because that guy is just fun. We also discuss Only Murders in the Building. We close with WWE as Kendall is slowly stepping back into that ring. What are you watching? Any thoughts on the media we are consuming? Let us know! The Linktree is below!

#123. In this episode we begin with one of our favorite things! We read comments from some of our listeners. And we would love to read more! If you're so inclined, visit the Linktree below to see the various places you can reach us. Specifically, we are asking our international friends and those who travel, what foods have you experienced in other countries which are marketed as American, but maybe miss the mark? Or what obviously Americanized food have you encountered? What American food is impossible to find elsewhere? We touch on that topic this week. We also share updates about what we've been watching, including Black Widow. There's some more fur baby talk and other 'real' parenting discussion. Finally, Dillon shakes things up (not stirs) with a James Bond trivia game for Kendall and Kory in light of the new film No Time to Die. Also, is it time for a female Bond film? We share our thoughts. Overall, this one is heavily geared toward the world of entertainment. Enjoy!

#122. It’s been over one hundred episodes ago in From the Middle history, but two often mentioned segments since then have been pet peeves and freak flags. We don’t complain a lot, but when we do, we have fun with it. From Dillon’s electronics struggles to Kory’s Taco Bell loneliness, we add to the list of what gets on our nerves. Then in a short moment of humility, we admit some of the things which make us weird; our “freak flags” if you will. Have you ever read an entire instruction manual for a pencil sharpener? Kendall has. Those who have been around know the deal, and we will likely do this one again! Please share your pet peeves and freak flags! Find us on social or call us! Details in the Linktree below!
