From the Middle

#254. Lifting your shirt in the school drop off line is probably never a good idea, but is it a little ok if it’s part of your daily pit maintenance? Also, do you draw the line at using utensils to eat while driving?  Check the LinkTree below to let us know your answers! It’s starting to feel like summer and Kory is ready to drink a beer with you in his garage. Kendall is ready to sneak a beer to a little league game. Dillon is ready to sip something cold when EA Sports College Football 25 comes out. We discuss all of the above along with a small update on streaming. This week it’s F1 Racing, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Acolyte, WWE, and Welcome to Wrexham. We hope you enjoy! Until next time, be kind to each other.

#253. We don’t care how much the ladies make fun of us. Sheds are exciting. We do, however, love both our sheds and our ladies. We even love our neighbor’s sheds. But we are happy to stick to celebrating our own wives and mothers.  Happy Mother’s Day! We share our weekend events which included some fun outings and some heavy lifting. We then get into a bit of tip etiquette with the non-tipped customer service folks. After the break we talk about Karen, everyone’s favorite busy body, then we share our thoughts on radio and the Hot Chicken Takeover takeover. Please use the LinkTree below to chime in! Until next time, be kind to each other.

#252. 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! The LinkTree below is your roadmap for that. Until next time, be kind to each other.

#251. Maybe your windows are weeping because bees are nesting in them. But it’s ok because the American innovative spirit has invented screens. Also in American history, did you know that dinner used to be supper? Lunch used to be dinner. And now we’re learning you can potentially have all three in the same day depending on timing. As if meal time wasn’t complicated enough. We’re still trying to decide if hot dogs and tacos are sandwiches. We then take a brief time-out to hear from some of our friends in the network. We didn’t have a timer going, but we didn’t forget you anyway. This week in streaming we discuss Still Game, Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel, and Masters of the Air. Use the LinkTree below to join the conversation. Until next time, be kind to each other, and for some you, this is your reminder to check on your kid in the time-out corner.

#250. 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. We’ve had a blast reaching this milestone and we are on to the next one! We’re glad to have you with us. Please use the LinkTree below to shout out your favorite thoughts, questions, and stories! We love them. Until next time, be kind to each other.

#249. 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. It turns out we still have plenty to look forward to. And YOU can look forward to checking out some of our streaming recommendations! This week we’re watching Paddington 1 and 2, The Bad Batch, Wrestlemania XL, Asteroid City, Dear Evan Hansen, and Neal Brennan: Crazy Good. Also, send pics of your garage! Until next time, be kind to each other.

#248. We’re back! And by “we” I mean Dillon and Kory. Hi. I’m Kendall and I’m in Myrtle Beach in a hotel with no water. That’s every bit as click-baity as it sounds. More on that next week. But this week, the Hubbell brothers kick off discussion with the supposed eclipse which the government made up to control you. Also, they have spellings for letters. Did you know that? As we drop knowledge, we hope you’ll drop some as well as you share with us the weird facts you were surprised to learn! The linkTree below will show you all the places you can do that. On the back half we discuss some Connor Tomlinson of Love on the Spectrum and streaming! This week it’s Road House, Suits, and Muzen Wild Mini. We hope you enjoy! Until next time, be kind to each other.

#247. Oh how we love etiquette questions! If you have any, send them our way and we’ll shoot ya’ straight. This week we talk around the idea of leaving people’s personal business alone. And by business, we might mean dropping deuces. Kendall shares an odd life-long fear of his and wonders if he’s alone. Kory isn’t sure about whether it’s ok for an Irish-themed pub to not stock Guinness. Dillon reviews the PlayStation Portal. After the break, it’s mostly streaming, but this time we include some stuff you might want to avoid. In no particular order or preference, we discuss My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, Empire of Light, Steve! (Martin), Falling for Figaro, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Ricky Stanicky, and WWE. LinkTree below! Until next time, be kind to each other.

#246. We took a week off and now we’re back with a list of bad experiences as we list off YOUR anti-bucket list responses. If you still have some moments in life that you would never do again, use the LinkTree below and choose your favorite forum! Starbucks is adding motivational messaging to its menu and Dillon shares an experience at a Children’s Museum that we hope turns up in Columbus soon. After the break, it’s all streaming. There’s a little theme of films that we find pretty to look at. Included this week is Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, Horizon: An American Saga, The Oscars, Wonka, Napoleon, Masters of the Air, The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping, and Black Mirror. Enjoy! And until next time, be kind to each other.

#245. Grant “Axe” Rawlinson is a man of many rare experiences, but perhaps one of his most amazing stories is how he has used his accomplishments to breed success in others. He has stood atop Mt. Everest, has rowed jaw-dropping lengths, and cycled continents. These things have taught him some bold lessons relevant to anyone looking to cooperate with others to achieve great things. A boy on a farm grew to learn how to live according to purpose, not just goals, and he generously shares with us the fulfillment he has gained with his adventurous perspective. Listen and be encouraged, friends. Until next time, be kind to each other.
