From the Middle

#031. It comes as no surprise that we love hearing and sharing nostalgia. And what better time to do such a thing than in mid-December with what better event than Christmas? Join us as we share fond memories, favorite foods, and old traditions along with current traditions and ambitions for our families. We also look each other dead in the eye and sing Christmas songs. Which is harder than you think. Look to the person on your left and do it now.  You'll see.  And when you're finished creating an awkward moment, chime in on social or leave us a message telling us of your holiday celebrations!

#030. In this episode, we take some time to remember some of the words along our journeys which have shaped us or helped define who we are today. From family to celebrities, and books to song lyrics, we wanted to share some of our more impressionable moments. And we make fun of each other.   Share your favorite quotes with us via voice messages!

#029. A little well-paced chit-chat covering all sorts of interests, annoyances, passions, and experiences that you've come to expect from the guys. We hope everyone's Thanksgiving was incredible and for those who braved the shopping centers for Black Friday found some cheap televisions; televisions with which you could be watching your favorite Christmas movies, your least favorite kid's shows, or our YouTube channel!  There's plenty of opportunity to share your stories with us with this episode in mind. We would love to hear them!

#028. Were you among the millions to jump on the Disney+ train? We talk about that, and zero in on The Mandalorian. We then discuss all things November including Christmas decorating timing, Thanksgiving, rivalry football season (Michigan v Ohio State), and Black Friday. Let us know the traditions and preferences of all the Middlers out there!

#027. Back to a fun casual discussion with this one; perfect for a cup of hot coffee (Backroom, of course), a glow from the fireplace, your favorite person by your side, and the smooth sounds of our voices wiggling your eardrums. Kendall has changed his every day carry situation, we discuss the news concerning NCAA athletes getting paid, we revisit inconsiderate driving to the sound of a familiar caller and friend putting us in our place, we talk about being dads, and so much more.  Plenty of direction from here, folks, so let us know what to tackle next! Until then, we love you, we like you, and you're good enough. 
And keep an eye open to social media about how to get your hands on a sticker or fifteen!

#026. After Kory and our guest, Brad, separately visited the new Galaxy's Edge attraction in Disney World, they share the experience from the giddy little boys that live deep within them. This after a few updates and discussion concerning how we would respond to an emergency situation. Also, we tell you where to buy your coffee and tease you with some vinyl stickers which are forthcoming. Enjoy! Like! Comment! Share! Engage!

#025. Rob has been such a wonderful guest as he has allowed us to pick is brain for a second episode. We continued our dive into the mind of teacher who has been loved and respected by students, parents, and administration. This conversation leads into some other introspective questions and thoughts. A good healthy outside-the-box conversation doesn't hurt anyone; including WWE villains and their advocates.  Please send us your thoughts and voicemails! Who was your favorite teacher and why? If you are a teacher, how do you respond to this discussion? Let us know! We will be collecting voicemails (see the link below) to feature them on future episodes as we respond to your thoughts and questions. Your words mean so much to us!

#024. Robert Firchau is the sort of teacher your kids would remember through their years. He was kind enough to join us so we could pick his brain considering everything from teaching tactics to testing and other external pressures. Perhaps the best moments of this discussion pertain to his attitude toward his students. An excellent listen for teachers, students, and parents with some other life philosophy mixed in. This one's a thinker. We hope to hear all of your thoughts!

#023. Ostriches are best left alone. Playing word games with people's names is dangerous. YouTube has a lot of stupid stuff. Star Wars is better. Just ask Kory. A mixed bag of tricks this one is. And plenty of room for us to hear your thoughts and opinions! Keep those coming our way and we'll feature them!

#022. In this episode, we discuss some things we have learned about staying in hotels. Specifically, how to be a cheapskate.  Then we dive into a couple worlds of anything but cheap: pro wrestling and college football. Is it time the league allows players to profit on their own likeness? Then to the financial middle, we talk about the gig economy, ranging from ride sharing organizations to musicians trying to make an extra buck. Hope your ears enjoy this one! Comment and leave messages! We love those things!
