Welcome to Middling with Eden and Brock, where today, Eden and I, we are not breaking down an episode of ABC's the Middle.

Yes. We will be back next week with our recap of 119, the final four. But today we have something very, very, very special.

We're interviewing Neil Flynn. Yes. We're interviewing the one and only. I know. You guys have been asking and honey. We have two. And he's here. And it's so good. And it's so funny. He is hard to get. I will say he is hard to get out of his house. The only reason I think he did this. And he's pretty available for me. I'm going to say he loves me. But he's hard. The only reason he was able to do this, I think, is because we booked a podcast, a recording studio very close to his house. Inches away from his home. He does not go. He does not, if he has to take a freeway to get to some place, he is not going, honey. But he did come to the studio.

Yeah, but he did.

And the interview is so great and we're so, so, so excited to have it here. And as always, there's the extended episodes. And also, too, I don't know if people keep forgetting this or if we don't say it, the blue bag grab. We love trivia on this show in case you haven't been able to tell. We love trivia. So the blue bag grab is always in those extended episodes.

So if you're a subscriber to Patreon, you get that. Or as always,

if you just want one-off extended episodes, you can do that for $3 an episode, whether it's the audio

or the video. So I should say, I should say that Neal's blue bag grab specifically is really good. There's a really, really good Norm McDonald's story in there. That's also kind of the case. Whenever we do blue bag grab stories, because what's nice is that it jogs some memories for our guests a little bit, and you end up, they always kind of go off and they're like, oh, you know what? It reminded me of this moment. So it's more than just the trivia. You're getting those like like, extra stories that kind of, like, jogs their memory in the moment. It's great. It happened with Alex Reed, this upcoming week that we have with him. It happens with Neil. It's wonderful. It's a great. Great little thing that you invented. Brock, love you. Love you for it. Thank you. Thank you. So all of that and so much more. So let's get to middling.

I'm, I'm serious.

I think it'd be really funny.

I feel like I might be in one.

I was going to say, would you want to do one?

Except it in shoots in Canada.

Sure.

You could have a whole second career playing the dad in a bunch of Hallmark movies. I know.

Believe me, there's always that, because it's generations they show.

Yeah, yeah.

From 8 to 80, you know, the other characters.

And I would consider it.

But it does have, there is a community who watches it, though.

And that's why, like, Candice Kim and Bure and Alexa Pennevega and all the people, they, that's their, they made them that.

I know who both those people are.
