From the Middle

#068. Do you know what a Physician Assistant (PA) is? Maybe you do. We didn't! So we had a team of three PA students from Butler University come on the show to tell us. It was a joy learning about them and the profession. Listen in on our conversation about what PAs do, what the education looks like, what the misconceptions are, and the next time you find yourself in a medical facility when a PA comes walking into the room, you don't have to ask who they are. 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? Are there other careers that you've wanted to know what a "day in the life" looks like? Do you have a career which encounters many misconceptions about what you do? Let us know on social, or better yet, leave a voicemail! We always want to hear from you.

#067. Dillon has been having fun on Twitter with polls! He asked what your favorite Star Wars visual content outside of the original trilogy was and the results were quite telling! Also, Kory and Dillon have been excited about some new Star Wars LEGO. Moving on from Star Wars, we dive into the things we have been getting into lately and turn those into recommendations for you! Finally, we discuss Fall (Christmas Practice) and whether or not we are excited on the same level as our social feeds. Where do YOU land on any of this? Let us know and find us on social! You can also record your voice via the voice message link below for us to respond to on a future episode. In the meantime, treat each other well until we come back next week or you're grounded.

#066. We're trending up, y'all! In this episode, we take some time to share some exciting updates with the Middler crew as we have been reaching milestones and joining a network and other fun things! Thank you, friends!  Also, Kory shares some marital advice and how it pertains to staining a fence. Kendall shares his woes of other home upgrade things, then we discuss the concept of indie journalists. Is it good for anyone with a camera to join rowdy "festivities" under the self-proclaimed umbrella of "the press?" We try to tackle that question and share the story which brought that discussion to our table. Please note, we are just three idiots who would love to hear YOUR perspective on anything we discuss. You can hit the link below to leave us a voice message. Also, join us in any of our social media discussions!

#065. Please note that this episode contains language some may not find suitable for children. Probably not as bad as your favorite HBO drama, but worse than Barney. The bois from Grief Burrito were very kind to accept our invitation to come onto our podcast! Grief Burrito is a gaming podcast out of the UK which is hosted by the talented and witty Harrison Wild and Jordan Shenton. We discussed podcasting in general as well as some of the topics in which our podcasts overlap...you know; like mashed potatoes. Basically we had an entertaining conversation which takes little occasional dives into introspection and retrospection. We covered most of the spections. This one was a treat to record and we hope you enjoy it as well!  Consume all of the bois from Grief Burrito's stuff here - http://griefburrito.com/

#064. Do you get annoyed when grocery stores rearrange their items? Do you wonder how to consume sports in the midst of a pandemic? Did you know a floating house and a houseboat are not the same thing? These and plenty of other stories, questions, inconveniences, and updates found their way into this episode. As always, we want to hear your thoughts on any topic we've discussed. Certainly, we want to hear your feedback concerning a PlayStation NCAA season that Dillon is putting together. If your favorite team isn't suiting up this fall, just turn to Dillon and tell him you want to watch how his endeavors turn out!  This should be fun. You know what's not fun?

#062. This may have been one of our more fun and witty conversations about nothing yet! We joyously learn of a cross-country food delivery service. Kory and Dillon share their experience of a From the Middle themed cookout hosted by their dad and contender for King of the Middlers. Kory and Dillon discuss their latest gaming adventures. We dream about owning a boat, or at least having a friend who owns a boat. Kory and Kendall look for a strategy to get back into WWE. Dillon shares the results of a couple Twitter Polls. All this and more awaits you for the next hour as we continue our practice of transition-free topic bouncing, laughing, and ranting.  Keep the conversation alive via our voice message link below or through our social channels!

#061. 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. 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. It's not an easy conversation to have and it still feels like we had to cut it into a consumable segment, but one thing is clear, this is a worthy conversation to have. Please join the conversation and let us know your thoughts! Voicemail link is below!

#060. Would you still pay the same price for this podcast if you learned we lip-synced the whole thing? Zero dollars can seem like a lot of money. That question will make more sense if you grab a listen to this episode. Maybe. Also, in our "lifestyles of the rich and famous" segment, Kory talks about his fridge and how you, too, can feel like royalty in your own home! Just three easy payments of zero dollars and we will tell you his secret! You know what else costs zero dollars? Going to Comic-Con San Diego 2020! That's right! Panel discussions, sneak peeks, and more usually exclusive to patronage of the event is free on YouTube! We talk about that and what we've found among the vast archives of available content. There's plenty of space in these discussion for your voice. Click the VM link below or join us on social! We would love to feature you in a future episode! Love you all. Thank you!

#059. Star Wars, girls not pooping, mashed potatoes, stealth camping, show choir, and tipping. What do these things all have in common? They are all discussed in some amount of detail in this episode. We shared some updates then we entered into the sixth installment of us responding to a handful of voicemails from our listeners and friends, also known as middlers. How much joy do we get from interacting with you all in this way?  For two of us it's a warm joy that fills our hearts. For the other of us, it really gets our servos turning.  Keep the love flowing with the link below! Every time we get a new message, it literally tickles Dillon's insides. Seriously though, we love you guys and appreciate you. You make this fun!
