#4.1. 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. You know what’s better than all three of those forms of entertainment? Frasier. Let your hair out, put on your aloe-infused cozy socks, and stay in with us.  And with some extra home time on your hands, like and subscribe to our stuff and send us your thoughts from the middle!  We’d even take your top and bottom thoughts if you have any. Maybe leave the left and right ones between you and the cat.

#043. "Grandpa, will you tell me what life was like during the COVID outbreak of 2020?" "Grandpa's tired. Listen to this podcast episode." 
From our individual homes, we joined together via video chat and managed to record something for the archives! From how our daily lives have changed to what it was like to internationally travel in the face of a travel ban, we share our lives with you all. We hope we share in a way that doesn't make fun of a tough reality, but points out some of things we can laugh at or otherwise enjoy.  There's silver linings all over the place, friends!
Share your stories with us. We'd love to be a part of your community. Social media or voice messages are fun ways to do that!

#042. Amidst all the intensity, confusion, and weight of what the world is experiencing during the COVID-19 outbreak, we at From the Middle hope to be a source of joy and fun during an otherwise scary time.  This episode was recorded a couple weeks before stuff hit the fan here in the states, so while we don't mention it in the episode, please know our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. Let's be helpers and citizens who care for eachother.  
In this episode, we polish off The Middies, giving our awards for the best of the 2010s  Within, we also hit on some source material for Sunday morning liturgy (Kendall being a worship leader and all) and we end with Kory sharing the highs and (mostly) lows of his deer hunting season. All of this peppered with the goofiness of our idiot selves. Enjoy!

#041. The 2010s are over! And as award season has come to a close, we polish them off with our personal "Best of the 2010s!" We each tag what we think to be our favorite movie, album, artist, and YouTube channel of the decade.  Before doing so, we make sure to rant and complain about a couple things. Namely refrigerators and road rage. Saddle up and listen! AND SHARE YOUR FAMILY QUIRKS AND STORIES WITH US! Did your family have a poop knife growing up? That's not normal.  Tell us about it! Hit us on all social or drop a VM below!

#040. We take a moment to share some "you've gotta be kidding me" moments. You know; those moments when everything went wrong. Then they went wrong again. Eventually there's humor in most of those stories making them worth sharing.  Join us and share yours! Also, we've been enjoying the weird family stories and quirks that have come in thus far. Keep them coming!

#039. Some more fun discussion covering an array of stories, movies, tv shows, and video games, with a couple of middlers chiming in. We have some new gear, Dillon accidently watched a movie and didn't accept hassle from kids playing Mario Kart, and Kory slept in a treehouse and watched Joker.  We also touch on The Clone Wars' new season. For you middle-aged and older folks, one middler is wondering if getting back into video games is like riding a bike and shares his experience.  A lot of fun in this one!
And please, keep those funny family stories coming!

#038. In this one, we updated our conversation about being grown men getting back into pro wrestling, which leads us into a discussion of the revamped XFL. Then Dillon had to find a new pizza joint and we never pass up an opportunity to share our ameteur opinions concerning food.  We wrap up discussing some of our favorite live show memories.  And we had microphones in front of our mouths for the whole thing, so we decided to share with you!  Do us a favor and share your thoughts and stories with us!  Anything that came to mind during your listen is great!  More specifically, we are trying to compile your family quirks and funny stories.  Leave us a note through the usual lines! Link for VMs below!

#037. A timely discussion about award season (mostly the Oscars), new tv shows (entirely LEGO Masters), and premiering films (mostly entirely if not entirely Sonic the Hedgehog).  We also throw in some good discussion concerning updates and cute stories of our kids. We laugh, we cry, we get our undies in a bunch...all because three guys fell in love.  With you.  Happy Valentine's day!  And please send in your voice messages, emails, and social posts about your funny and quirky family stories.  Anonymous submissions are great. Just let us know you would like them to remain so.  Thank you all!  Talk to ya soon!

#036. In this one, we open with some updates concerning everyone's favorite parrot, Kory's experience at an immaculate middle school for his daughter's basketball game, and Dillon's nostalgic moment with comedian Kevin James. Then we dive into the Super Bowl sharing our thoughts on the game but more importantly, the commercials, which leads us to phone a friend who had a couple good Bill Murray stories. Then we end by diving into the fire and fury of the halftime show cultural discussion. And we still love each other!  As always, we want to hear from YOU!  Click the link below to leave us a voice message we can play in a future show. Thanks everyone!

#035. Another interactive episode featuring the voice recordings of our Middlers! Jeremy Kester sits in for another episode, which is always fun. We discuss some Middler thoughts concerning everything from Instant Pots to possible cultural trends which may have escaped us in the past.  And Jeremy delivers some stories and viewpoints in ways only he can.
We mentioned family quirks and funny stories.  Have some humorous or odd anecdotes about your family which you wouldn't mind sharing and would like us to react to? Send them our way! We'll be collecting these stories for a while to compile them into a future episode!
