501 - The Drop Off (w/ Tommy Bechtold)

We can't believe we're already at season 5! And to kick off the new season, we have a very special guest. You know the back of his head - and now you get to see his gorgeous face. Tommy Bechtold (Abbott Elementary, Glee) who played Kenny - Axl's college roommate - is here with us today! We're breaking down ep 501, "The Drop Off," and we're talking about Tommy's audition, Kenny's wig, and what it was like for him to finally show his face and speak for the first time on the series.

Our bonus episode - “The Heck Report” - drops every Friday, exclusively on Patreon. Each week, we dive deeper into that week’s episode, focusing on specific 'headlines' we want to explore from a viewer’s perspective. Think of it as a water cooler chat. We also do a rapid-fire rundown and wrap things up by rating the episode out of 10. It's our unfiltered opinions as viewers, and we want YOU to be part of the conversation! Best of all, it’s available to every Patreon member, at every tier!

That's all happening at Patreon.com/MiddlingPod. You can subscribe monthly or purchase one off episodes!

WE HAVE MERCH! Order your very own Blue Bag or Cross Country Sweatshirt at Bonfire.com/Store/MiddlingPod ! The blue bag is perfect for any occasion - including road trips or visits to the Frugal Hoosier. And the sweatshirt comes in the classic yellow or a variety of other colors. There's hoodies, crew neck sweatshirts, and t-shirts. We're wearing them, and we hope you will too!

All that and much more, so let's get to Middling!
