Episodes
-
From the Middle - Water Parks, Whitetail Pointers, and Weird Products
#333. Break out the fuzzy ears for the family photo and put on your swim trunks; Kory goes to Colorado! We hear the hunting and fishing at the Wolf Lodge is Great, so we have some tips for you…or at least some direction on how to start a new hobby. If we screwed up on any of our advice (likely)…
more -
From the Middle - Breakfast Timing, Ball Theater, and B1G Transparency
#332. Did you like last week’s episode? Good! Because we weren’t done yet. And by “we” we mean “Kendall.” The rabbit trails include the urge to parent other people’s kids and how technology is making the McDonald’s breakfast hard-stop even more annoying. After the break, Kory shares his…
more -
From the Middle - Ticket Fate, Beaver-Gate, and Streaming Slate
#331. Two weeks in a row! Well, for most of us, and we’re back to starting arguments that don’t exist yet but should, such as de-pantsing vs pantsing. Apparently kids these days are pranking each other by making sure they’re fully clothed. We also double-click our way into some of the events we...
-
From the Middle - Jokers Shooting out of an Escape Room
#330. We blew the dust off the microphones and got back to work! There’s a lot to catch up on from the past few months and we get the ball rolling with some of Dillon’s travel highlighted by him getting locked in a room with his family. Kendall was busy with some trips then became an uber driver...
-
From the Middle - Fatigue, Fights, and Flopping
#329. Remember when playing childhood sports in the backyard in an unorganized fashion was fun? Maybe for some of us, if we really try to remember those moments, we remember more kickball games ending in anger because someone tried to make up a rule on the spot than games ending in laughter and…
more -
From the Middle - Persona Virtuality, Pura Vida, and People Viewing
#328. I dare you to stay “rural” 15 times without feeling like a doofus. Also, Chat GPT is asking questions and that makes us nervous. With that out of the way, we get to hear from Dillon and his delightful reward of a vacation! Costa Rica treated him well and the all-inclusiveness of a typically...
-
From the Middle - Vegetable Bracketing, Vintage Bulls, and Vivacious Bubbles
#327. Happy Birthday, Dillon! We hope you got to celebrate with something like carrot cake. Carrot cake: vegetable. And I don’t care who knows it anymore. Maybe we should get a shirt made which says, “Vegetables are more easily understood the less we understand about them” and wear it all over…
more -
From the Middle - Life and Loss, Housework Hierarchy, and Stadium Stroll
#326. We’re back after a few weeks off! We begin with that explanation and honorable nod to Dillon and Kory’s grandfather. We share some of what we’ve been up to the past few weeks, then we get into discussing doing home projects with your spouse and what it looks like when plans aren’t aligned....
-
From the Middle - Long Beards, Limp Boards, and Little Bites
#325. Oh hi! We were just talking about matching a hat to the beard. Speaking of which, by some beard oil; the Artius Man link is below. Anyway, Kory is back and has some meal strategy to add to our previous discussion before he shares the ups and downs and ups again about his trip to Spain. He…
more -
From the Middle - Bad Tickets, Bomb Tortillas, and Banqueting Tactics
#324. Ever feel old enough to get scammed but young enough to know better? Kendall does. Ever find tortillas so good you need to stow them away for a flight home only to wish a week later you would have bought more luggage to smuggle more? Dillon does. We talk for half an episode about those two...
-
From the Middle - Biological Leaps, Bitsy Lies, and Blind Love
#323. I’m not sick, but I’m not well. It turns out those words were probably meant to help us understand our middle-aged existence as we ponder our aches and pains, overthinking, and refreshed interests. But all of it seems to be heading somewhere cool as priorities and relationships with friends...
-
From the Middle - Sad Flopsicles, Sick Foods, and Sunsetter’s Fellowship
#322. Happy Birthday to two of our favorite young people with such bright futures! One can look forward to the freedom of driving, another can look forward to figuring out pizza. Nowhere to go but up! There’ll be some bumps along the way. Popsicles might get weird, pizza chains will lie about...

From the Middle - Snowmageddon, Sent From Mobile, Safe Motoring
#321. The thaw is underway and we came out of our dens to record another episode! Ever find yourself showing off for nobody? If you throw a snowball into the air and perfectly roundhouse it into bits but there was no-one around to see it, did it really happen? Maybe that’s why Uber drivers wait...
-
From the Middle - Chopped Subs, Crab Stuffing, and Crazy Software
#320. It’s snack time, folks! You thought sandwiches and egg rolls were perfectly fine the way they were. And they are. But why not make them more fork friendly? It worked for burritos! Maybe the crab rangoon burrito will become so popular that it evolves again into a bowl and then we’ll have a...
-
From the Middle - Backup Meal, Backdoor Mafia, and Bovine Mania
#319. Cracking ribs, roasted mashed potatoes, and hold the bacon. If that doesn’t turn out how you hoped, maybe just order up another episode! Also on the menu is the mobster special. It comes with a trip to the back where you’ll encounter Tony. If he’s not there, just wait a few minutes. He ran...

From the Middle - Race Surprises, Rude Spectators, and Reality Series
#314. Wanna hear what three middle class guys sound like when they’re bird watching? How about if Kory is still alive after running a 5k? Or what happens when a guy known to avoid confrontation finds himself challenged by drive-thru workers and inconsiderate spectators? Then listen to this…

From the Middle - Climate Control, Careless Cars, and Considered Canter
#313. How warm to you keep your house this time of year? November in Ohio brings two things: some freezing cold temps making you worry about whether or not you disconnected your garden hoses, and a lack of guarantee that you’re finished mowing for the year. With that comes the somewhat…
more -
From the Middle - Beggar’s Night, Bad with Names, and Baseball Nuttiness
#312. Happy HalloWEEN!! Between the way we emphasize particular words and acknowledge a punnily named fudge factory, the first half of this episode would be likely to get us kicked out of 3rd grade. Thankfully we’re adults and can do whatever we want; even if that means blowing off plans because…

-
From the Middle - Droid Takeovers, Dating Troubles, and Downfall Tales
#309. Someone call Will Smith just in case we need someone to slap around the invading robots. We might not see them much where we live, but we know they’re out there and we have thoughts. But maybe they could make an emergency Halloween candy run for those of us with self-emptying bowls. Or…

From the Middle - Ride Situations, Logo Iterations, and Fancy Aspirations

-
From the Middle - Cocky Fowls, Cool Firearms, and College Farewells
#303. Maybe the chicken crossed the road because it was being chased by an old Red Ryder. And if you must begin to pick to choose which kid’s sports endeavors to follow more loyally, is it automatically the middle child who gets less attention? After all, AI can do a fantastic job of giving them...
