<p>Live from The Stray Theater in Los Angeles! 🎭 In this December 2025 live show, we revisit one of our all-time favorites: Episode 822, “The Final Final”—complete with our La La Land-inspired musical number. We’re breaking it all down with the audience, sharing behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage, demo audio, and plenty of stories from filming. We also spot a young Sydney Sweeney, revisit the moment that blew up on TikTok, and point out a sneaky Shawshank Redemption visual reference in Axl’s storyline.</p><br><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>!
