  • Loving the Middle all over again

    Thank you. This podcast is amazing. I’m rewatching the episodes as I listen to the podcast. I do wish for a reunion episode to see where everyone is. Let’s hope that happens one day.

  • Brock is great but Eden is not

    Wanted to like this so badly but Eden makes it a tough listen. Feels like a cash grab and never remembers any stories/feels prepared for the episodes. Spends entirely too much time recapping her current personal life. Maybe it’s gotten better recently but I couldn’t stay with it unfortunately

  • What?? Why am I just finding this!

    Ok what?! Love, love, love the middle. My kids love it too and we watch random episodes together all the time. We use references from the show together that have become family inside jokes. We also watch the Disney episodes before we go every year. Starting my full rewatch now and starting the pod from the beginning immediately. I love you both, thank you for basically being part of my family!

  • AMEN!

    How did I miss this podcast for an entire year?! I’m a HuGE The Middle fan. I’ve watched it through every episode three times. I did not appreciate it as much when it came out, as I was pre-kids. Now married with 3 boys and a house, it all clicks. And reliving the Great Recession is just so hilarious. I was so oblivious then! The details in the middle are what make me laugh the most. For example Axl and his fake baby laying in the bed in the same position. So freakin funny. I will proclaim to th... more
