Well folks, we did it. We finished season 2. To celebrate, following the blockbuster success of our season finale episode "Flashback," we decided to look back at the season and talk about it as a whole. We talk favs, least favs, character arcs, surprises, you get the drill. We talk about all sorts of things. It's an audio medium!
We can't thank you all enough for your support this season. Your comments, your follows, your DMs, it really means a lot to us. This is a real labor of love for Willa and I, and so far the podcast has been more of a success than we thought it would be 2 seasons in. We'll be taking most of (all of?) December off to celebrate the holidays, but we'll be back before you know it for season 3. Stick around! More great things to come. Love to all.
SIBLINGS UNITE. This is the finale of Season 2 and buddy we got the big one for it: our older sister Olivia.
She also grew up with a love for MitM, but perhaps didn't have the same drive to create an entire podcast about it... strange...
We cover this fantastic episode in incredible detail, stopping along the way to tell some good 'ol anecdotes, and the whole thing is really just a delight.
This episode hits hard with Hal and Lois at their wits end once again, fearing another pregnancy that would upend their lives. Bryan and Jane... I'm in love with you both. You guys think they read this? Yea, me neither :(
Thank you all so much for listening this season, we're got some awesome stuff planned for Season 3, plus some content to prep for the reboot. Next week will be our ranking of Season 2 and then we will take a short break for the Holidays but be back SOON for S3. Eff the mods <3
Well folks, season 2 winds down with this penultimate episode EVACUATION which finds Hal and Dewey threaten the lifeblood of their town and all its inhabitants.
Also, Francis goes on a date with a 12 year old girl. Fun!
Willa and I talk about all sorts of stuff, you'll love it. I feel particularly bad because I feel like I was pretty mean to Willa this episode. Even more than usual!
Anyway, some personal reflection going on over here. Love you Willa. Please enjoy this episode and be sure to come back next week for the SEASON FINALE of season 2!
Oh buddy do we have another guest for you who is a total stranger! This week, Ryan's roommate Tavi joins the sibs to talk Carnival. You may remember Tavi from the infamous "Piglet gets washed by Roo without her knowing it's not her son" anecdote (s2 e6 'Convention').
This episode is full of Stevie sass, Hal/Lois lust, and the ever cool headed Gorak. Oh, and the cuteness meter is back... and this time it's controversial.
Thanks so much for listening! Love you Linwood <3
You guys aren't gonna believe how small this bike is. Or how much we got to say about it.
Willa and Ryan are BACK with a special (and super cute) guest: Leo aka Willa's boyfriend!
He gives his insight into the show as a more casual viewer and raises questions even the siblings don't ponder like, "When did Lois discover the Minibike in the sandbox?" Good stuff.
As always, we love you and thanks for listening <3
Folks, our favorite sadist Francis Wilkerson has pitted his beloved brothers against each other. Ryan and Willa chop it up about this CLASSIC episode of M in the M -- it's got everything: Dewey putting cat medicine in his ears, Lois burning down a house, Reese and Malcolm debasing themselves for approval, etc.
Worry not: we do discuss in detail the blooper reel that plays at the end of this episode, which left Ryan shaken to his core (I'm trembling now as I type this!).
Enjoy!!
This is it. The two-time Emmy winning episode of Malcolm in the Middle: Bowling. Our episode on this episode is sure to win the Podcast Awards equivalent. And you can take that to the bank.
Ryan and Willa watched this episode together and Ryan was quite literally mouthing the lines aloud as they watched. What an absolute freak.
We compare Hal and Lois's parenting styles, dissect Dewey's mind-games, and call Francis a prick in this edition of Yes, No, Maybe.
Enjoy!!
Another Reesed up episode this week folks. Ryan and Willa dive into Season 2 Episode 19, Tutoring Reese, where the titular character is at risk of joining the lowest of the middle school caste system: the remedial class. Meanwhile, Francis is battling Lois and living in absolute hell (what else is new!) and Dewey befriends a fly. Beers were drank, weather was discussed, the energy is absolutely electric, and we love you all.
Reese cooks! The title, as usual, says it all. But also: Cynthia is back, Francis procrastinates, and Dewey does something I'm sure.
Ryan and Willa talk about Season 2 Episode 18 of Malcolm in the Middle! We get a glimpse into Ryan's own fear of cooking, and the siblings debate the emotional warfare that is Hal and Lois's parenting style.
Enjoy!
They've got our boy. And they're trying to cut him up. This week, Willa and Ryan talk Season 2 Episode 17: Surgery. Malcolm's appendix is in trouble, but that's not the only grumbling tummy this ep. Francis is hunger striking, and the family is so addicted to a board game they don't even stop to chow! Does this make sense? Am I okay? Great episode, stellar anecdotes from Willa and Ryan.
Enjoy!
This episode we get serious. We talk about right and wrong-uh.
Lois is being RAILROADED. Hal is emotionally intelligent. Willa cannot stop saying "Stink on dat". Important stuff all around.
Apologies for the later drop on this one folks but we got some good stuff comin' your way anddd we love you. <3
Enjoy!
The meanest people in the world are in town: Lois's parents. Malcolm's grandparents. Hal's in-laws. You get it. Willa and Ryan talk s2e15 and, yeah, Willa gets a few stellar impressions in there too. Buckle up baby, we've got over-analyzation of a 2000s sitcom to do.
Work SUCKS! Get USED to it! Hal paints his magnum opus, Malcolm is racked with indecision, and Francis wears a nice long sleeve shirt in this fantastic episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Willa and Ryan are back from their hiatus and sharp as ever in their biting analysis of yet another classic. God I love writing descriptions.
Enjoy the ep!
Hiiii everybody no new episode this week so we are re-running our interview with the gracious and hilarious Catherine Lloyd Burns (Ryan's first love).
We had a little family vacation going backpacking in DESOLATION WILDERNESS and now Ryan is at Burning Man blah blah blah but things will return to normal on Sept 8th with a brand new ep!
As always, you guys rule, and if you're reading this: I love you.
Who can take a sunrise?
Sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two?
The Candy Man can.
Buckle up folks. New neighbors are in town, and they're literally horrible (except Mike).
Willa and Ryan finally sing in this explosive episode of Yes No Maybe.
<3 y'all, stay peepin like Malcolm.
Another BANGER episode of Malcolm in the Middle with another new BANGER child actor.
The Krelboyne Girl does not play. She is funny, she is gross, and she tries desperately to get Malcolm to bit with her.
In this episode of Yes No Maybe, you'll hear about another one of Willa and Ryan's favorite pieces of media: the Paddington franchise.
Thanks so much for tuning in! Check us out on IG and TikTok @yesnomaybepod
Well, she's old as balls. And Malcolm has to massage her dirty dirty feet. This week, Willa and Ryan discuss Season 2 Episode 11, Old Mrs. Old. They were sitting on a couch while they were recording, and you can tell. They were also starving. Good stuff!
Thanks for listening and as always check out our Instagram @yesnomaybepod for clips!
Guys. It's literally Lloyd from Malcolm in the Middle on our Malcolm in the Middle podcast.
The wonderful Evan Cohen (from Soccer Dog fame) sat down with Willa and Ryan to give the inside scoop on what being a Krelboyne was like... plus a few tidbits about returning to the role in THE REBOOT!!
We couldn't be more thrilled to have Evan on our pod, shoutout to his sister in law Laura literal G.O.A.T status for life. Is it obvious Willa is writing this description?
Thanks for listening as always, we'll be back next week with Old Mrs. Old!
It's the classic tale: kid gets popular by doing theater in high school, ditches his nerd friends, and faces a moral crossroads.
Willa majored in theater in college so she knows this very well. Ryan's never been popular so he can't understand.
Thanks for tuning in to Yes No Maybe!

Malcolm and Reese abuse the mental health services system in their middle school and Ryan abuses Willa with his words in this episode of Yes, No, Maybe.
Another banger episode of MiTM for the books, will this show ever get bad? NO.
Stay tuned for a very special episode coming up in 2 weeks...
