YES NO MAYBE 1 YEAR CHECK-IN 12.01.2026

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programing for this special 1 YEAR CHECK IN, where Willa and I talk about where we started, where we are, and where we're going. We also give a lot of fun tidbits of BTS given to us by various crew members who worked on Malcolm in the Middle. What is this episode? Good question. Technically it's a buffer episode before our interview episode with Victor Z. Isaac...

301- Houseboat 05.01.2026

Let Season 3.... COMMENCE! Hi everybody, we're back with Season 3 Episode 1 Houseboat which features, you guessed it, a houseboat! Wooo! Dewey on a buoy, Hal and Malcolm on a dingy, Kitty and Abe in a tizzy, Stevie and Reese gettin busy, and Lois? Hell, she's doin just fine. And, FINALLY, Francis is heading to ALASKA! The next step in his horrific life. Guys.... really exciting stuff coming for 20...

**REBOOT TEASER REACTION** 29.12.2025

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL. A 40 second teaser for Malcolm in the Middle: Life is Still Unfair has just dropped, and your two favorite sibs are here to unpack it in excruciating detail. How much can we say about a 40 second teaser, you ask? Evidently, enough to fill 20 minutes! Malcolm in the Middle: Life is Still Unfair drops April 10 on Disney+ and Hulu. Holy crap. It's h...

SPECIAL EPISODE: A Look back at Season 2... 03.12.2025

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 com...

225- Flashback 24.11.2025

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 e...

224 - Evacuation 17.11.2025

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 p...

223- Carnival 10.11.2025

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 t...

222- Minibike 04.11.2025

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...

221 - Malcolm vs Reese 27.10.2025

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 episod...

220- Bowling 20.10.2025

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...

219- Tutoring Reese 13.10.2025

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 el...

218- Reese Cooks 06.10.2025

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!

217- Surgery 29.09.2025

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!

216- Traffic Ticket 23.09.2025

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.

215- The Grandparents 15.09.2025

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.

214 - Hal Quits 08.09.2025

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!

(RERUN) INTERVIEW: Catherine Lloyd Burns (Caroline Miller) 26.08.2025

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 y...

213- New Neighbors 19.08.2025

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.

212- Krelboyne Girl 11.08.2025

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...

211- Old Mrs. Old 05.08.2025

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!

210 - Bully ft. Lloyd (Evan Cohen) 29.07.2025

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...

209- High School Play 21.07.2025

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! Check us out on Instagram and TikTok @yesnomaybepod

208- Therapy 07.07.2025

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...

207- Robbery 30.06.2025

Craig goes OFF in this episode. Anyone else ship him and Lois? Thanks for watching Yes No Maybe: A Malcolm in the Middle Podcast. Ryan and Willa aren't all peaches and cream today, and we love you for loving them for that. Check us out on Instagram and TikTok (@yesnomaybepod)

206- Convention 24.06.2025

This episode, Ryan attempts to talk about something OTHER than Malcolm in the Middle with Willa, but they find there is nothing to talk about. Hot babysitters and vicious beatings, oh boy!
