Tyson's here to talk about the ONLY episode of <em>The Middle</em> to be nominated for an Emmy (ep 309, \"The Play\"), and it's because of his work! We talk all about the skill that goes into making people look 'plain' for television, his designs for the Wizard of Oz characters, and Brad's shiny lips. Plus, we answer more <em>Middle</em> trivia from a fan.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>WE HAVE MERCH!</strong>&nbsp;Get yours at: <a href=\"https://www.bonfire.com/middling\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.bonfire.com/middling</a>!
