Middling with Eden and Brock

Season 1 is packed with iconic moments, and episode 122, "Mother's Day," is no exception. Today, Eden and Brock recap this infamous episode, featuring the inflatable foot bath! We also reached out to writer, Jana Hunter, who shares fun insights, including the inspiration behind Pat Spence and the idea for the horrific Mother's Day gift. Plus, we reveal deleted scenes from an old script that never made it to air.

Regis and Kelly? No, Beau and Brock. This week, Eden's working on the other side of the world, so Beau Wirick (aka Sean Donahue) is filling in as co-host!

They share stories about Beau and John mistakenly having lunch on the wrong set, Atticus Shaffer’s passion for war history, and Beau’s thoughts on handling the Heck's financial meeting.

Tears, passing out, and coming to. No, this isn't us talking about a wild night out at the club. Those are all things that happened to Brock's mom, Priscilla Ciarlelli, during her first table read.

Plus, Eden and Brock discuss unacceptable 'back of the plane' behavior, who had the fun house in the neighborhood, and announce next week's very special guest... (psst, it's Neil Flynn).

Frankie wanted to yell at the kids -- Brock wanted to yell at Kevin from Honda of Downtown Los Angeles. After a surprise cameo from Jeff Probst, courtesy of Brock’s shirt, we dive into episode 114, "The Yelling."

Plus, we heard back from Cathy about last week's letter, and play a few rounds of the Jeopardy quiz she made for her Middle-themed party.
