Speaker 1 (00:19):
We got an email that I thought would be something
that would make you both very happy, but especially one,
mister writer or strong. I read it, I immediately thought of you,
and I thought I should bring this up on the show.
So someone recommended to us that we do a boy
meets World book club, that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We start.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Reading different books, that we each get to pick a
book and then we read it and then we talk
about it. And I thought, Okay, we all love to read,
but we all have very different tastes in things we
like to read.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, Will's going to make us read two thousand page fans.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I already know the one. I'm it is small. I
already know the one. I'm going to make you read
book one of ten, but you only have to read
the first.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
One, all right, all right, See that makes me excited.
I'm interested. I'm very excited about it. So I thought
we could maybe commit right now to doing a little
book club.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
And anybody have any suggestions?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Who?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Who?

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Okay, Yes, I have a suggestion.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Okay, Well, I don't know if you guys know this,
but I did a little book club podcast for Disco
still out there, you can find it.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
I was on it.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I Will was our Yeah, fantasy sci fi correspondent. Yeah,
we did this. You know, when you have a podcast
about books not as popular as a podcast about a
TV show. No, of course that's facts anyway. Yeah, I
love this idea and I love talking about books, and
I want to do something different. So okay, that I

(01:57):
want to read is a new book. I want to
read something new, and I think it should be something
that that that I haven't ready either the books. This
is my favorite book. So the one I'm going to
throw is it's called Blob a Love Story by Maggie
Sue Su is her last name. It's about a I
think a college age girl who falls in love with

(02:20):
a blob.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Oh oh yes, I don't think they like to be
called that anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
What college age girl.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
American is exactly what I would call it. I have
been working out. Yeah, it's apparently so.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it has like what you might call magical
realist or maybe just fantastical or supernatural elements. There's some
I don't know what level, but I think it's funny.
But I think it's also about relationships in college. I
don't know. I'm excited. This is yeah, one more time.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Blob a Love Story by.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Who Maggie Sue s U.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Maggie Sue.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, I've already bought my copy. I think, yeah, if
we should, we should.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's about it's about an invertebrate American. I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I gotta can't wait. See what's fun about this is
this happened in literary Disco too. It was the best
when we hated the books, Like when the books were bad,
it was actually more fun.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Like we did an episode some people think are episodes
when we don't like Boy Meets World are the best.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, there's so much more to talk about it, and
we're so passionate about it.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, Like, well, some of the best episodes of literary
Disco when we went back and read like Sweet Valley High,
hardy Boys and like books that people kind of have
fond memories, and then you go back and you're like,
there's there's a lot of date rape in Sweet Valley High.
You remember peers, they're like, you know, in the nineteen forties,
They're like it's pretty intense. You're like, why are these
kids by themselves, these high schoolers like solving crimes?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, you remember when we did it with Piers Anthony.
We read it we were like, what the hell is
It was like.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
It was written four horny eleven year old boys who were.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Like boobs, and we're like, wait, I love.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's thet series by Peters Anthony. It's like it was
one of my favorite series of books. I'm like, oh,
maybe that's why.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
You were eleven.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, it's really bad.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, well, I'm excited to read blahb a Love Story
by Maggie Sue. That'll be our first official book club selection.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
We hope you join us.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well, probably, we have to figure out how long we're
going to give ourselves.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
I was just going to say, because we also it's like,
now we have homework for the podcast.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Come on, were this is a homework Watch World.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
That's not a homework. That's a pleasure. That's what that is,
my friend.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
We need an excuse story. Like I seriously, like I've
been such a reader all my life, Like during Literary Disco,
I was reading so much, and then COVID hit Literary Disco.
We stopped, we put it on pause, and I just
stopped reading. Like so it's only within the last six
months I finally have been reading it.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
The only person I know who gave up a podcast during.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
COVID and read.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
You have too much time on my hands to be
at home.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm gonna wait, I'm reading.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
No, we did.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
We did like one full year of like hardcore podcasting,
and then I was just and then we started this one. Actually,
that was a big part of it too. I was like,
you know, I'm not like Will. I can't do like
four podcasts at once.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
But you can read four books at once.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Which I don't get you reading multiple books?

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh god? And then I have audiobooks that I'm listening to.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
No, it's good, it's good.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
It keeps on your toes. I know.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I actually really do appreciate when My first thought when
I read the email was do I share this with
the guys because I am going to be giving myself
homework when we take this up. But like writer said,
I'm actually really excited about it because I love to read,
and my big thing is the only time I get
to read is right before I go to sleep. And
knowing that I have like a deadline is going to

(05:47):
make me go, No, I can't scroll my phone mindlessly
before bed. I have to take this twenty to thirty
minutes to read for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
So I'm really excited about in.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
The shower reading in the shower. I did that this morning.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Never happened in.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
The shower, did it this morning?

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Read two chapters of my fantasy novel this morning while
soap them another's there's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I don't ever want to hear just soap in my
nethers again telling you please talk about a fantasy story.

Speaker 6 (06:19):
No, let's go back to that's me telling you the
same thing.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
We're in the same story.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Come on, okay, but seriously, why don't we say homework
is due in a month one month from now, we
will do bad.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
That gives us plenty of Yeah, that'll give us plenty
of time.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
We'll have time to read it, think about our thoughts,
and then we'll do the episode. All right, So one month,
one month from now, book Club officially starts Pod book
Club with Blob, a love story by Maggie Sue.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Welcome to Pod meets World.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'm Daniel Fishl, I'm Writer Strong, and I'm Wilfordell.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
This was a very specific call to our listeners. Uh
for questions. We've had these q and as now over
five seasons, and as the guy who fields the emails,
I knew we needed unique questions because if you don't
whittle it down to say that, we need to hear
something original. The question you'll get over and over is

(07:26):
why did Eric get stupid? Or over the seasons that's.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Which I've never I've never noticed.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Or what was your favorite episode?

Speaker 8 (07:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What's your favorite episode of work on should depend?

Speaker 8 (07:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Another big one is if you could be another character
in the show, who would it be? Which I was
surprised how many people send that in.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
We've answered that, I think before.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
I think we have answered that on the podcast.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I thought we did. Was that a live show? I
couldn't remember which one.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Let's keep everyone mysterious, don't answer it. I didn't think
so this time we asked for new questions, things we've
never heard before. And I'm very proud of those who
sent in their voice memos and written emails this time.
And this is one of our beloved Q and A episode.
So are you guys ready to start? Just right off
the bat? God?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, give them to us.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
All right. While we're talking about introductions and first things,
this is Andrew, who has a question that absolutely befuddled me.
I don't know the answer to it. Here it is.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Hey guys, this is Andrew from Indianapolis, Indiana. My question
is about the intro slash theme song for seasons five
through seven. During the intro for those seasons, it seems
like it could be you guys as a cast just
hanging out, or it also seems like it could be
the characters of Boy Meets World hanging out on a
street on various days in the Boy Meets World universe.

(08:47):
So my question is do you think that intro is
meant to be a part of the canon of Boy
Meets World or is it just meant to be you
guys as a cast hanging out and goofing off. And
I'm curious if you remember when you film that, if
you're given any sort of direction as to how to act,
because I could see it going either way with some
of the faces you make and some of the things

(09:07):
that are done in those scenes.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Love the pod.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Thanks guys.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I think we talked about this right.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, you mentioned writer that they were actually recording us
being us, and we didn't they We knew that we
were being filmed, but we didn't we didn't know what
it was for.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
So Jeff McCracken was directing the opening credits. But then
he had Jody. What was Jody's Winstock? Bin Stock was his.
She was shadowing him as a training director. She ended
up directing at least one, maybe two episodes of our show,
and she's now a producer, I think. But she was
a running around with eight millimeter camera. So though that
footage is actually eight millimeter, you can see it has

(09:45):
a grain to it. The and you know, gets out
of focus in ways that our normal cameras wouldn't have.
So it's just us, it's us hanging out. Yeah, And
what I'm curious is that then we redid the opening
credits because we and so we must have known at
that point what it was going to be, and so
that from seasons six and seven we are being sort

(10:09):
of our character versions of I don't know, we knew
that we were basically being filmed all the time that time,
So I don't know, Like I think it's it's Corey
with a camera, right, It's I like to think that
it's in It's in, Uh, it's in boy Meuts World canon,
It's it's it's our characters, not I.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Just remember in the second one when we had Maitland
join us that I missed a button. So like my
shirt is, I've got like a v of just fabulous
chest going on where it's like, just what way too
much chess showing in the six and seven. That's what
That's what I remember more than anything else.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
But is it Eric or is it you?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
I had too much chess showing, but Eric pulled it off.
It was just enough, exactly.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
No.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
But I also remember they specifically had we didn't have
beats in the first one, right, but then they wanted
us to match the beats in the second one because
it was like the dumping the water, but they reversed
to dump the water.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Daniel You and I did that tongue thing.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, I know that's very clearly not to Penga.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
No, that's for me.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
That's the thing that makes me. Yeah, I feel like
there's obviously Corey and Topanga kissing is not Ben and Danielle.
But Danielle is definitely the one sticking out her tongue, and.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
So is Will. Like those are not Eric and Tapanga moments.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
No, it was strange, so they were doing it.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I actually think it's kind of a fun hybrid where
they they wanted to get across a little bit of
both that it was a little bit of the feeling
of this is that these are the characters you love,
and here are some of the personalities that bring them
to life.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yeah, and I think we talked about Oh, I'm sorry,
I was going to say, I think we talked about
Matt Lawrence laughing in the first one because they had
a fake hot dog cart and he like, they're like, Matt,
grab a soda, and he grabs a soda and pops
it open and takes a sip, and it was from
like three hundred years ago, and so you see he
first spits the whole thing out, and we cut to
him right like post spit, and we're all laughing hysterically

(12:04):
as he's got this, you know, three hundred years Coca
cola in his mouth.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, that's what I remember. Oh my god, wait, what
did you remember a writer?

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh, I was gonna say, I remember when we were
doing the second one, because my I remember the day
very clearly. My buddy from back home was visiting and
we got to do a huge religious debate, like all
of us were sitting her out back and we were like,
I was like full atheist skeptic mode, and I remember
Trina and me going at it and laughing. It was like,

(12:32):
so if we were going to show behind the scenes
of like what we were, actually we're actually sitting around
director's chairs like getting to it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Fun an opening, Yeah, less friends, like you know, you know,
we're a crossfire opening. All right. This question is from
Sarah A. Again another thing that I had no idea
for the answer. When you guys talked about switching reduction sites,
how did that work? Did the sets move or did

(13:03):
they have to be totally rebuilt?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Oh, when we switched from like one studio to another, Oh,
they would, they would bring them down. They bring them.
So the sets are like really flimsy walls. Basically they're
basically cardboard, but they're just plywood walls. And then you know,
they put fake brick or whatever the actual what it's
supposed to look like. So they can fold and fold
down and fit into base like a couple of trucks.

(13:30):
You can put an entire stage of rooms and a set,
so it was very easy to move. Yeah, but I'm wondering, like,
remember we had all that gum on the back of
one of our walls. When they move it, they have
to like do they move the gum too.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Like the sore that was our collection that was years
in the making. You can't just scrape away the gum wall.
I guess it was so disgusting.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Walls would have been the same walls that were on
Disney our first season would have come back and yeah,
they just go into storage when we're not shooting, and
they go on other shows.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
Have you seen the other there there's clips of like
them using our hallway on Smart House and stuff like that,
where right, smart guys, he's a smart guy. I mean
you can see that they they'll grab the sets from
other places, and that's why you kind of go.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
I think Smart guys have stolen pilot of from you guys.
I think that they're not stolen, well.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
They stole the shots on our on our set and
the entire Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
I think that during days off because I've watched both
and it looks like they just used, which they still do,
by the way, Disney still does it. A bunch of
a bunch of studios still do it when there's like
an opening on a set, rather than rebuild, they're just
like it's a pilot whatever, We'll use some shots and
using it. And I think that's what that is.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, Like I think when Ravens Home was had finished
a season, they left the set up because they were
only going to be gone for a couple of months,
and then I think they shot a couple of pilots
on the Ravens Home set.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Makes sense, switch it around a little bit.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, here is again about sets, so we're staying on topic,
Hannah Kay. She asks, why does Matthew's house and several
other sitcom houses I've noticed have two staircases? It's obviously
not normal in real life, but seen a lot in
set design. Is it blocking? Why?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah? Yeah, question, Yeah, they do have. You want to
be able to have ways to get up and down,
like you just need more entrances and exits as many
as possible and variety like yeah, but we actually never
really use it the way we should have, which is
you see somebody go up the stairs in the kitchen
and then come down in the living room.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
We don't.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
I don't think we ever do that, but we should. No,
But it is variety.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
You want variety.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
You also need to, as you guys have seen us
talk about a couple of times in a jokey way,
you have a lot of times where somebody needs to
be saying something that somebody else isn't hearing, but you
need them to be able to come and go quickly
because maybe they're there for the first part of a
conversation and then they're gone for the next part of
a conversation, and having staircase where you go, oh, they're upstairs,
I buy if you're upstairs, I don't hear what's going

(16:04):
on downstairs, Versus if you just turn a corner, you're like,
where are that? You can't really really quite picture where
that person is.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
So we saw that with I'm exploding your head, where
we're like, come on, Phoene's five feet away, like, how
is he not seen? Whereas if it was upstairs you
would have bought it.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
But it's also just very simply if you were in
the kitchen, your only exits would be too, so you
couldn't have somebody be in the living room and also
be in the rest of the house, Like you couldn't
leave to another part of the house, so you were
stuck basically having to go outside or because both the doors,
the upstage and the downstage door go to the living room,
so that was kind of limited. And I'm sure. What

(16:40):
happened is they were like, well, we need the option
for somebody to leave the kitchen and not join whoever's
people are in the living room, right And I always
love how every sitcom has a swinging door because that
way it's so easy because you don't have to.

Speaker 10 (16:51):
Pull or push.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
You can just move in. But you still have a
door because you want to, Like Danielle was saying, have
people not know what's on the other side. You need
that for.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
While we're talking about logistics, Caitlin Bee has a very
good question.

Speaker 11 (17:06):
Hello, Pod Meets World. My name is Caitlin. I'm coming
from Mesa, Arizona, and my question is about how you
guys handled being.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Sick while you were on the show.

Speaker 11 (17:16):
You might be able to hear in my voice. I
am still battling some laryngitis. But I am a professional
musical theater performer, have been for twenty years. I do
some voice over work and I had to call out
as several shows as a result of this bout of
laryngitis that I had, and it made me think I
can have an understudy come on for me. But you

(17:38):
there couldn't be a new Tapanga or a new Corey
or a new Sean or a new Eric. How did
you guys handle that if you were sick? And finally,
do you have any memories of having to tape while
you were sick and what were those memories?

Speaker 8 (17:52):
Like?

Speaker 11 (17:53):
Thank you so much for all the work you do
on the pod, all the work you did do it's
bringing so much joy to the world.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Have a good one.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I have actually two great stories about.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
This, please please, yes, please.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
So the first one was season one and I'd never
you know, I'm new to the show. I'm new to
being on a sitcom, and I was sick, had a
very heavy head cold, and it was kind of the
show must go on. And I can still hear it.
It's in the episode where I'm talking to Lily and
she's sitting in front of me and I'm calling her
weasel and doing all this stuff, and I can tell

(18:25):
that I'm I'm sick and I just had to come
in and you just you work through it again. Voiceovers different,
it changes your voice on camera. You're fine, you work
through it. But the other one I remember specifically was
they would always ask us if we wanted flu shots
every year on the show, and for.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
The first three or four years. I didn't want to
do it.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
I remember Bill Daniels one time going like, why don't
you want to get a shot, And I was like,
I just don't want to.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
He's like, are you scared?

Speaker 6 (18:50):
I was like, no, I just don't want to get
the shot. I'm never going to get the flu, literally
going I'm never going to get the flu. It's never
going to happen. But don't even worry about it. What
are we even talking about?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
It was?

Speaker 6 (19:00):
That was tape night I was doing this, like this
flu is going around. That night, I woke up in
the middle of the night and my temperature was one
hundred and four point three. I rolled out of bed,
literally rolled out of bed, and dragged myself to the
bathroom and sat in a tepit tub until it hit
one oh two. Drove myself to the emergency room. I think,

(19:22):
because I then kind of came conscious again. At the
emergency room. The last thing I heard before I passed
out was he's approaching one oh five.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
We need ice, We need ice.

Speaker 10 (19:33):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
And I passed out and I woke up maybe two
or three hours later, and they handed me a phone
and I called Steve Hayfer and I said, I'm like sick, sick,
like really sick, and he's like, well, what do you have?

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I said it flu.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
I'm in the hospital right now, and he goes, let
me get back to you. I went back home and
he called me that morning and said, I talked to Michael.
We're pushing the week. So they canceled the whole episode
that week. We pushed and we had He went to
a hiatus that week and forced it because I was
so sick. So they canceled the entire show one week

(20:07):
because my temperature was so high. I'll never forget those
two days. So if you have a head cold, the
answer is, if you have a head cold, work through it.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
If it's something bad. Sometimes they had to push the entire.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
We talked about being ableman to hear in people's voice.
I can hear it and Bill Daniel's voice in the
episode and Ben and then I think that some of
the episodes were on low energy. I'm like, I think
I was sick. I can tell something's a little off.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
But then the only tape night that I ever missed
was because I was sick, which was season seven. I
got really sick. I got the flu.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
And Mono when remember that the we have our blooper
reel and you come out in one of them and
you are like, you've lost a ton of weight.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Because I couldn't eat for a week, and so I
was out. And it's the only the only tape night
I've ever missed, and it was a bummer because I
would have had a perfect record. It was right near
the end of the show and then we just I
had like three scenes that I had to tape the
next week. But you guys went ahead and did the
show without me.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
That when you looked at remember you came back and
we were all like, oh my god, like you probably
lost like eight or nine pounds that week.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
It was.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
It was jarring when you came back because you were
not not a heavy guy, so to lose that kind
of weight, it was like, Oh, he was really sick.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
I was in my apartment like I was so out
of it. Oh my god. It was the worst. Yeah,
got it.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I remember having colds on boy Me's World. I worked
through them.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
I never got so sick that I couldn't make a
show or anything. But I have told the story before
about being very, very sick when we shot the pilot
for Girl Meets World. And we shot the pilot for
Girl Meets World over two weeks. It was a very
very stressful two weeks, and I remember getting very very sick.

(21:48):
And I'm not usually a person who gets super sick.
I get sick and I'm still able to mostly function.
I maybe don't feel that great, but I can still
mostly function. And then there are a handful of times
where I think I'm not going to be able to
do a long day on my feet all day, and
the pilot for Girl Meets World was one of those times.
And that's where I have the very funny story of

(22:09):
for no good reason at all whatsoever, just assuming that
musinx was once every four hours, I just was like,
they aren't they all?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Even though also the answer to that question.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Is no, I know other than advil to advil, I
don't know what you can take this every three to
four hours, but I thought it was. And I was
standing in the pharmacy, going mucin X D or MUCINEX
the regular one. You know what, I'll get both and
I'll alternate them one every four hours.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
I'll take a hit a crack and then drop some acid.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
And when I tell you that I felt so great.
I felt so great. I felt so great, and everyone
was saying, like, oh my gosh, how are you doing it?
I feel like, yes, what, I don't even really feel
like sick anymore. I don't have been taking USXD and.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I've been taking us and it's really not even that
victim me. I actually feel really good. I also had
no appetite. I lost like five pounds over two days.
And it was on the second day that I went,
I'm gonna shock to see because think I'm supposed to
take Someone said I don't think you're supposed to take
those every four hours and I was like, oh, no,
look I don't think that's a better turn around.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Oh taking these every four hours.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
She's holding onto the like like the wall.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
She's like, yeah, So anyway, I've never done that again.
I learned my lesson with that one, but it did
get me through two tape days.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
There you go, Yeah, I remember a Girl meets World.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
I'm supposed to walk in and pick up Augie and
go cousin Augie and like give him a kiss and
put him right. And we rehearsed the whole time, and
then tape night comes and right before I'm gonna walk in.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Somebody walks up to me.

Speaker 6 (23:44):
Like, hey, just for the record, he's really sick and
has horrible pink eye.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Just be careful.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
And I was like, oh, okay, I've been kissing this
kid all week, but all right, here we go.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
It's like droopy I and I was like, hey, we.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Should watch it. I bet you if we put it
in slow motion, You're.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Like, slowly, I can't see the plastic sheet I have
over my first.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
While we're talking about noticing certain things about you guys
while watching the show. This is from John Jay in
a past Q and A, I vaguely recall a quick
mention that by the end of the show, you guys
were checked out a bit. As we start with season six,
I was wondering if it's possible to point out roughly
when that was from each of you.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Season four for me, basically once I started college. Actually,
I've noticed that once I started college, like I am,
it's the end of season end of season four, so
the beginning of season five for me, really I felt
the difference in my performance, in my commitment. But also
it became a Corey to penga show, you know, like

(24:59):
it really was Corey Sean Show for so many storylines,
and at the end of season four, like we lost Turner,
we dropped all of Sean's family stuff, Like, well, I
guess that's not true because we did have Matt coming in,
But I don't know. It just feels different to me,
and I knew. I know that I was going to college,
like I cared more about philosophy and English lit and

(25:20):
all the things I was learning. And then my friends
and people I was meeting in college, I was living
on campus, like it was just that was my life,
you know. And I can see that like Boy Meets
World at that point was already sort of a kind
of a zombie job, you know, where it's like, oh,
it keeps going, but for me, it was dead. It
was like, oh, I've already done this. I can keep
doing it. And that's going to be interesting to see

(25:42):
how that plays out in six and seven, because I
do remember specific episodes, and I remember, you know, caring
about some stuff, but for the most part, I was
on autopilot for a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I'm gonna look for it in season six. I know
it hadn't happened yet. By the end of season five,
I think I was still. You know, Corey and to
Panka were just really firing on all cylinders. I know
it happens somewhere during season six, So I'm going to
keep my eyes out for to see if I can
like spot the episode or if when I watch it,
I'm like, oh, I remember, I remember this being the

(26:15):
moment where I go, I'm not going to do this anymore.
So yeah, I'm going to look for it and see
and see if I can find it.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Will was probably never checked out.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
I don't think I ever did. I never checked out.
I loved every every minute. I haven't make it hard.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
Yeah, No, the last season was specifically hard working with
the two of you though, because I just wanted to
be there and you guys were vocally didn't want to
be there.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It was like you and I got very close in
the last season, like we were. It was fine.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
Yeah, yeah, it was fine, but it was it was
we never none of us really had to talk about like,
you know, we should be this isn't going to last forever.
We should It was just it was our what happens
when you're a kid, you think it's going to last forever.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
It's just you know, we were young, but I just loved.
I would still be.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
I'd be doing season forty eight A boy Mes World
right now because just because I love being on the set.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
I love being in front of an audience.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
I love trying to make a joke where there isn't one,
So it's just the whole process is something I love
so much.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
But Will be a pretty sad show.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Will says he has to make call time. He still
does all I do.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Yeah, I wake up in the morning and the first
thing I do is I'm like interior Will's bedroom morning.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Will stretches and grabs his phone. Yeah you do.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Let's dive a little bit into writer in college and
philosophy and reading and Kristen ka as a question.

Speaker 8 (27:39):
Hi everyone, my name's Kirsten. This is a nerd question
mostly for writer. I love you, Will, I love you, Danielle,
I love you Jensen, husband of the podcast. I'm sorry.
How do you feel about Tennessee Williams? And if you
like Tennessee Williams, would you consider playing Tom or Jim

(28:00):
in The Glass Menagerie? Because it is my dream as
a disabled actress to play opposite you and has been
since I was Corey and Sean's age.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
So I would love to know.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
And additionally, would you consider going back to musical theater
if you didn't have to sing? This might seem like
a weird question, but you did say unique questions. Thank
you so much for your time, Thanks for the podcast.
I love all of you so much.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Good night, just not as much as Rider.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I get it, man, I love Tennessee Williams.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
I do.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I've never read The Glass Menagerie though, so that I
would love to read it. Yeah, I mean Tennessee Williams
is one of those legends I didn't discover until pretty
pretty late. I get because not as a teenager. I didn't.
I read him in my twenties. And yeah, huge fan.

(29:01):
I've been having this weird experience lately. I've been having
recurring theater dreams.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Wait, so I was gonna say so actor dreams, actor dreams, but.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Also not always actor dreams. That's what's weird. Is like
I've been in the audience for plays where either I'm
in the audience or I'm and and I'm messing up,
like I'm I'm like, okay, there's there's one. I had
this really intense dream where it was like I was
upstairs in the balcony in the theater, and they like
had to move me. Like the ushers were like, oh no,

(29:35):
you have to go downstairs, and they moved downstairs. And
when I got downstairs, the way that the set was
built was that the audience was actually on like folding chairs.
It was like somewhat interactive, and so I was like,
oh okay, and we sat down to these interacts and
these folding chairs, and then as the play went on,
we like moved in closer when the play moved rooms.
And then like I didn't move when I was supposed to,

(29:56):
and the whole audience was like yelling at me and
the actors were screaming. I like ruined the play just
by being in the audience. And then I've had all
these dream I don't know, and it's so funny because
I've been telling Indy about them, because like he loves
to tell me about his dream. So I've been like, oh, yeah,
I had another dream about being in it, and he's like, Dad,
you shaved. It's time to be an actor again. Oh

(30:17):
what are you talking about. He's like He's like, well,
now that you're you shaved, and you should you should
you should act again. And that's what these dreams are
telling you. I'm like, Andy, I don't believe that dreams
tell you things, you know. So we've been having lots
of gov but yeah, i've been having like every night
for the last week, I've been having recurring acting dreams.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
So well, those are anxiety dreams. It's those ones. Yeah,
You're on the stage and you don't you haven't read
the script or I can't get the page the thing.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Ever. Yeah, and a couple of these have been that
I'm going back to do something I've already done in
like real life, like the graduat or le mis or something,
and it's changed, like the script is changed, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,
it's different now, and they're like, well, you just have
to figure it out.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Go Yeah, no one told you.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Oh no one told me.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
So yeah, like you know, but I've always said that
I would act only if I went back and did
theater first. That was that's the only way I would
go back to acting. So yeah, maybe, but you know,
I would love to. Like it's so weird because I
still think in terms of roles for like thirty year
old you know, the last time I was acting, so
like now, I would have to be looking at characters
that are older, and I don't know what those characters

(31:24):
would be like. So yeah, I'd love to read a
Tennessee Williams play and see if I'm right for a
part I don't know.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, cool, I prefer Mississippi Johnson.

Speaker 10 (31:32):
Who uh.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
While we're talking about reading, let's ask this question for Monica.
When I was a kid, my dad read the book
Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul to me. I recently
realized that Danielleen Writer wrote stories in it. Did you
really write them? Danielle's story is called a Friend, and
writers is called my Grandfather's Gift.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
I don't remember the process. I mean, I remember doing it,
but I don't remember the process of what I did mine,
though I looked it up. Mine is called a friend
and then it says by Danielle Fischel and Friends.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
What okay?

Speaker 3 (32:22):
You don't remember what it's about or what I don't.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't remember what it's about.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
And if I have a feeling that it's about my
friend Jessica and it might be so no, I don't remember.
I'd have to read it and then I could tell
you for sure whether or not. I wrote it, but
I don't remember the process. I don't remember how that
opportunity even came about, but I do remember that I
that I did it, and I think, did you do

(32:45):
the audio.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Narration for yours writer?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
No, Okay, I feel like I did that for teenage
Soul and blurb at the front, but I never did
a story. But we all had something to do with
the chicken soup work.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
I remember it very well. They asked me to contribute something,
and I had just written my college essay to get
into Occidental. So it's a version of my college essay,
which was about a poem my grandfather used to recite
from memory, and then we had found the poem, or
my cousin had found the poem, because it was like

(33:19):
this kind of obscure poem about smoking your first cigar
by the way, that's the pump. It's about like it's
from a kid's point of view smoking, and my grandfather
used to recite it whenever we would go camping or
have storytime or whatever, and so I had like memorized
the but he couldn't remember past a certain point. So
when we found it, he got to hear the rest
of it, and I don't know. I somehow wrote an
essay about it for some reason as my college application essay,

(33:43):
and that right at the same time the chicken soup
people asked for something. And I remember because David Colmes
was helping me write my college essay, and I remember
talking about it with him and he was like, yeah,
that would be good, but in retrospect, it's really not
good because it's about smoking, like for a kid's real
self help book or whatever. But they took it and

(34:04):
but then they made me rewrite it to take out
big vocabulary words, and I remember it was a big debate.
Like I I was upset. I was like, no, the
whole point is like kids should look up words that
they don't know. Yeah, Like I was of the mind
that you don't change and they were. They went. We
went back and forth, and I remember talking with David
Combs about it and like, yeah, they made me change words,

(34:25):
and I guess I caved because I, if I remember correctly,
I ended up caving and like it's it's you know.
My my college essay was a little a little more
eloquent and had bigger words than what ended up in
that book, but I know I'd love to reread it.
But they actually found they actually published the poem too.
They published my piem that my grandpa liked to pitch something.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, bonus episode where we go over them Sure, okay,
okat okay, and soup for the podmet World. While we're
talking about picking words and selecting vocabulary, Cliff has a question.

Speaker 12 (35:00):
Hey guys, my name's Cliff. I'm from Raleigh, North Carolina,
and my question is this. We all know that Boy
Meets World was a family friendly TGIF show, but let's
imagine for a moment that it was actually rated TV fourteen.
If you could go back and insert one F bomb
into any moment from the show, what moment would it be?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Wow, that's a great question, fun question. Good, Wow, that's tough.
Where would you where would be the most? It would
get your most bang for your.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
I just thought about the moment when Lauren shows up
and I go good out. Yeah, if we just turned
around and actually Corey just it was like she's wearing
a Laura outfit and then turned around with what they
so because that's such a funny moment. And if you

(35:56):
just like turned from the like to know, Ye, this
can't happen.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Mine definitely would play in somewhere into the Lauren storyline,
like for sure it would be somewhere in that storyline.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, uh, I don't know, Will.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Or maybe chick like me when I reviewed what I
what I right before I punch you?

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
To me, it seems like and I don't know how
this would work organically, but it seems like the thing
that would make it just magical is if it was Phoenie.
Oh yes, if somehow Bill just drops an F bomb
out of no it just.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
What would be the most? What was the most like
so far? What has been the most? Like Phoenie completely
over over whatever's happening in front of him. You have
to be something Eric does He just says what the act?
The actual actually is so funny.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
We watched with Writer with you and Ben and you're
explaining something to him and he's so mad at your
stupidity in it lockers like that, I think is when
he's just like I want That's where I would put
the FB.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Something like that would be so funny.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
We have to figure out the Feenie.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Or or give it to Lily or lindsay right, that
could work too.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
Good question. That's this question for Matt m If Lego
was to release something based on one of your sets
from the show, like they have for Friends or Seinfeld
or The Office, which would you like to see?

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Wow, I love this.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
That's such a great question.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
There's so many can give us, so many possibilities.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I'm gonna say the classroom. Yeah, I think we need
to do the final scene Bill Daniels in the classroom.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
I would love to be able to build a little
Lego set of the if it was like fully accurate
as far as all the little props in the background,
the Shakespeare bust and like all this stuff.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Chubbies would be good too't there forever but Chubbies are
be good too.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, Chubbies would be better because it would be able
to include like all the characters, like you could have
the parents, you could have every.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Usually that many characters in them though they have yeah
they don't they they stick to like yeah. So that's
why Chubbies would be hard.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
If you and the Hallway.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
I got screwed out of a pop so I'm not
getting screwed out of a Lego set.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
So it can't just be something with.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
The kid just.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
The classroom, the classroom, though if we did the last
it's you, it's the four of us.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
I would want to do Turner's classroom in the hallway
from the second and third season, because that would be
that hallway that could be each and you could have
the Bullies, you could have Eric, you could have that's
true to any coming from the Turner. You could have every.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Tiny little feenie weenie door like you see where.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
It'd be great if we did the whole, the whole thing.
But I don't think they don't do those. We have
to actually think of one that they do. I mean
they do have twelve season two and three twelve We're gonna.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Have you fine, the scream episode classroom.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Okay, that's so good.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
That would maybe maybe Phoenie peeking in through.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
The Yeah, feeni dead with scissors out of his back.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
That's a really good one. That's a good one.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
Let's do.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
Let's I that can sounding leg.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Scream episode with Phoenie with scissors in his back.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Great, good one, good call.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
I want to chub you so bad because I wanted
a little O. J. Jersey. All right, here is Charlotte.
She has a question about location and your work in
in that place.

Speaker 13 (39:45):
Hi, I have a question about excents on Boy Meets World.
I know that Matt Lawrence is originally from Philadelphia, but
I was wondering if any of the three of you
tried to do a Philadelphia accent at any point on
the show, and if not, maybe you could do one
for us.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Now, first of all, that accent was fake. Let's be honest.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Is that New Zealand was that?

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Or South Africa was in New Zealand?

Speaker 3 (40:09):
New Zealand, New Zealand. Yeah, I can't do Philly. I've
tried because my family's for Philly, and it's like the
O sound, it's like the certain Actually that's less Philly.
I mean, Pennsylvania has a very specific O sound. You
can't do it.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Well, I thought, I know, not at all.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
You know, I can't do it. I can't.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
I know when.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
Did it ever come up? Did it ever come up?

Speaker 3 (40:36):
No?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
No, we barely even barely acknowledged like, yeah, Philly.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
The sports teams we never talked about, like where we were.
It always felt like Jersey, New York based on the accents,
like everybody was doing a New York accent constantly. Yeah, mister,
but yeah, I never can.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
By the way, who for some reason has from Westport,
Connecticut yet somehow truly, mister Turnament, really you should sound
like like Charles Emerson Winchester for God's sake.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
Yeah, let's stay international with Jamie.

Speaker 14 (41:09):
Hi there, this is Jamie coming to you all the
way from just outside of Chichester in West Sussex, UK.
I absolutely love the podcast, cannot wait to hear more.
And I'm sure you're already aware, but there is quite
a fandom for Boy Meets World here in the UK,

(41:33):
and I've often wondered, when any of you have traveled
outside of the US, what is the most bizarre moment
of recognition that you've ever had from somebody. Thank you
so much once again for the podcast, Bye bye for now.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Great questions, awesome question here you okay go for a
wealthy because it was so inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
I got. I had a group of.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
Kids screaming at me in the middle of the and
Frank House in Amsterdam, like learning about.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
This this girl's horrible.

Speaker 6 (42:12):
Life and how you know, and then oh my god, yeah,
and I'm like not the place, not the place, and
just screaming can we take pictures?

Speaker 4 (42:20):
All that stuff middle of the n Frank House in Amsterdam.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, that's not that's memorable.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
I've told my story on the podcast, right, I don't know,
which was a live show about being in Spain. I was, Yeah,
I definitely have told I don't know I wrote about
it when we when Girl Meets World wasn't out because
I don't anyway, so this has probably been out there.
But I was in Spain right after boy Me's World ended.
So this was two thousand. I was doing a I
was doing a summer course in Salamanca to learn Spanish

(42:52):
and screen tested for a movie and had to go home,
like leave and I had to leave my friend and uh,
you know, it was a it was a screen test.
I had to do it, and so I like got it.
I didn't know how I was, you know, back then,
he didn't have like easy communicator. I was on a
pay phone with my manager. I was like, Okay, I
got to get back to the United States. It's in
the next like twenty four hours. So I had to
like wake up at like two in the morning to

(43:13):
catch a train from Salamanca to you know whatever. So
it was a crazy stressful time and I'm like all
freaked out, and I'm on this train at like four
in the morning and some guy like nudges me awake,
and I don't speak Spanish, obviously that's there to learn it.
And he's like trying to talk to me, and I'm like,
I don't know. I'm so sorry, and he's like, I'm like,
I'm sorry. He's like and then he takes a moment

(43:35):
and he looks at me and he goes Benga and
then he's like, yeah, you get his autograph and that's
all he wanted.

Speaker 12 (43:45):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
See, it was like the international language of boy and
I know what you're talking about because it's called in
Spanish it's Me and the World. It's like that it
translates to like I am the world or I'm I'm
meeting the world as as anyway we could not, but yeah,
so Tapanga is the It was great. It was such
a fun Like really, I was so hardressed. No, you

(44:06):
actually helped me. I remember I got sick and I
showed up on Shiloh's couch. You came over and you
you helped me prepare for this test. Matt Lawrence got
the part. Matt Lawrence got a part in the movie
you not the same part, but oh, is it hot chick? No,
it was called It was a very funny script that

(44:26):
I don't think turned into a good movie, but I
loved The director's name was Andrew Something. It was called Cheaters.
It was about kids who cheat at school. I don't know.
It was a it was you know, it was a movie.
And at the time, I was like, Oh, I got
to come back from Spain to do it.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Geez.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
When we went to Malta when I was eighteen, I
graduated graduated from high school, and one of the things
I wanted to do as like my celebration for graduating
from high school was take my family to Malta. And
so that's where my grandfather and my grandmother are from.
And so we all went and and my grandfather's brother

(45:04):
owned a bar in Malta, and I was sitting in
the bar and they were playing Boy Meets.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
World at the bar. But it was reruns.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
It was like they had also it was reruns for
where we were in these states, but I think they
had just gotten Boy Meets World, so for them it
was like a new show. And so I was on
the screen at twelve. It's like season one and there's
a drunk guy sitting next to me, and I'm just
sitting there kind of watching the show, like, man, this
is so weird. Here I am eighteen with my family,

(45:36):
my first time ever going to Malta, and here we
are and my family's bar and wow, look at that.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
And the guy's like looking at me, and he's looking
back up.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
At the TV.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
He's looking at me, he's looking back up at the TV.
And then he goes, you could be her older sister.
I went, yeah, yeah, I could shoot. Yeah, you're right,
I really could. It was very funny.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
That's that's my favorite international.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Do you remember the two of us sitting in the
hash bar in Amsterdam and having a conversation, one of
our many conversations, and then hearing our voices and going
what the hell and then looking over the bar and
on the screen there's a Boy meets World playing.

Speaker 8 (46:25):
Are you.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
I'm pretty sure, but that was another moment where we're like,
oh my god, this is surreal.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Yeah, it was very strange.

Speaker 5 (46:34):
Yeah, let's stay in public for Amy H's question. If
you're at a Starbucks and the barista calls out Sean
to Panga or Eric for an order, would you look
up out of habit.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I answered to Panga, like, it's my actual name.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
So yes, every other day. Yeah, sure, of course our
friend's wife. This is actually kind of crazy. I have
a good friend whose wife once and I had known
him for like a decent amount of a show, ran
up to us and was like, Jensen, great show to Panga,
good to see you.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
He's like, crazy, Yeah, I seen.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
I have total sympathy for somebody accidentally calling me that,
you know, but I get annoyed when people do it intentionally. Agreed,
like yelling out, I will purposefully ignore people. I actually
kind of keep my head down even people yell out Rider,
which has been a problem for like friends who are
actually trying to get a hold of me. But like
you know, obviously, I just like, uh but but Sean

(47:34):
for sure bothers me. When people are like and you
can hear it the way they're doing it, it's not
like Sean, Hey you Sean. It's like they're trying to
get my attention by saying that thing that's annoying. But no,
like borist doesn't stuff. I actually am more insecure about
saying the name Rider. I will use my wife's name,
because you know, if we're like, you know, I'll just
say Alex because it can be either gender, and I'll

(47:55):
just use her name because rider gets confusing, or that's
when people look up and they're like, oh, you're the guy. Yeah,
I'd rather just not deal with it, so I just
say Alex.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
I don't get Eric A lot. I get Eric some
What I get mostly is people doing the Phoenie call.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
Yeah, I get people yelling Fhoenie at me, which is
odd because I didn't play mister Phoinie.

Speaker 8 (48:13):
Right.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, I agree with you writer.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
If somebody yells out topango, I'm not gonna I'm most
of the time, I'm not going to turn around, although
lately I've just started turning around to that because nine
times out of ten they're going Topanga and I turn
around and they're like.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
What up, and I'm just like hey, and then and
that's it.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Whereas you know, it used to feel more insulting for
someone to like they yell at you, yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Because we were younger in the twenty in your twenties.
If you were like it meant that they were probably
coming out of a bar or you know, it's that
certain tone, like you didn't want those encounters. Now, yeah,
people are in their thirties forties, even if they're saying
that they're usually pretty cool and they they don't.

Speaker 7 (48:52):
They don't.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
They just want to be like and it's.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Yeah, yeah, it's totally fine. I know it's changed, it's easier.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
You just don't get recognized anywhere else. That's the.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
Yah I got for the first time the other day
at Danielle Danielle and I spend.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
I knew it was not someone I knew and kept
going and Jensen was like, that person's trying to get
your attention.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
First time in years I've ever been. He goes over
there and it was not someone she knew. Now, okay,
let's move on. This is Joseph and he mentioned something
and wants to know what you know about it. Hey, guys,
congrats on doing five seasons with The boy Mes World,
But you missed the secret.

Speaker 7 (49:33):
Episode that I don't think many people know about.

Speaker 14 (49:36):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
Do you guys remember the time in nineteen ninety four
where ABC had you guys host the Saturday morning cartoon
preview special.

Speaker 7 (49:44):
You guys have to review that.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Also, when are we getting a review of Grinders?

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Let's do it I'm totally Yeah. The Saturday Morning we
talked about, I think such a weird experience. I hated it,
but yes, I would love to review that because it
is painful. I remember trying to rewatch it when we
started this podcast and like, it's so poorly written and
we are so uncomfortable. Will are you in? I don't
think you're in the Saturday Morning preview things.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
I honestly don't remember.

Speaker 6 (50:10):
It's just to me, it's like it's the Boy meets
World equivalent of the The Wookie Christmas first Star Wars.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Star Wars Christmas is so good though similar.

Speaker 5 (50:20):
I watch a little of it. It is kind of
your Star Wars Christmas.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
We have to do it.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Am I in it? I don't even remember.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
I don't think you're in it. Yeah. I think it's
like Lily, No, I.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
Am, And we did see part of this. I do
because I'm sitting down with her with Lily. It's like
Lily and watching, yeah, watching the thing. So yes, it's
and Grinders. I would still love to see grinders. It
still sounds like a gay porn to me, but I'd
love to see it.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Grinders and the centers in a line. You know what
I'm talking.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Abouts here's seth. He wants to know. Was there ever
a time on the show where you guys got into
really stupid arguments or fights where you look back now
and just think, man, we were stupid teenagers.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Every we.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Still do it. We still Actually we've gotten better the
last couple of years. I feel like because we do
the podcast, we don't get into many ridiculous Yeah, because
we just see each other more often, but like.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Less time together drinking too, which was helpful.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Oh my god. But when we were on the show,
we used to get into it, like really inane arguments.
I mean sometimes it would be political, uh and I
still remember them. But also it would be really a
nand stuff. I remember, like little things that we would
just be like, no, you only I don't know what,
like drink coffee this way, or it would be like
stupid and we were just strategy.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
I mean it was just like we were just had.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
No yeah, yeah, or like what's a good book or
a bad movie or whatever. We would just get into it.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
We would we would do that.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
That was that was constantly, and if it wasn't us,
it would be other people on the show.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
Yes, we were kids. We were kids and like a
little family. So yeah, we were bickering all the time.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Of course, yeah, of course Ben and I.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Ben and I got into an argument once and and
we weren't We were like not looking at each other,
and it was apparently showing up on on not only
in our run throughs, but then on screen, look like.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
They hate each other.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
And Michael called us into his office and he was like, guys,
you're not leaving here until we work this out. I
can't have Corey into Panga not making eye contact with
each other. And we talked it out, and I found
out why he was upset with me. I apologized. I
didn't know that that's why he was upset. There was

(52:36):
a misunderstanding something I'd said that I should not have said.
And I apologized. And then even after I apologized, I
went home and I wrote him a letter apologizing and
gave it to him.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
And that letter really meant a lot to him.

Speaker 5 (52:51):
And I know that they put chicken soup for the soul.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
That's what I wrote.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
No, it's I know that meant a lot to him,
because I'm pretty sure we talked about it maybe then
during Girl Meets World and sometimes we were talking about
the kids, the kids getting into little arguments, and I
used it as an example of like, look, you know,
Ben and I also got into fights. And I told
them that story and Ben said, and I still have
that letter you wrote me sweet.

Speaker 11 (53:20):
That sweet.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
The fights were never knocked down, drag out. They never
got physical or even close.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
We were just we have like magine if they did. Oh,
have you ever been on sets where you've had actors
pulled apart. It's been on sets where it's like you
have actors pulled apart.

Speaker 6 (53:32):
Sure, and you know it's a bunch of actors getting
into something.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
And yes, I think of actors as being like boxers, I.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Know, but they're emotional.

Speaker 6 (53:40):
You were emotional people, so you can get your take
it too far or something like that in a shove
or something.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
No, it was never like that. So it was yeah,
but we'd always God.

Speaker 6 (53:48):
There was some political religious literature, I mean something we
talked about.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
We talked about our situation with writer too, where I
said something about astrology and Writer made one of his
very ride or comments about how actually I haven't.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Talk about that on the podcast. We talked about a
live show. Yeah, when you told that alone.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
You want to tell for us to tell it here, thankfully,
because Mercury is in retrograde.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
Can't talk about it now.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
I don't know if it was Danielle and d ed
mates we're making some comment while we were shooting. I
think it was like the wedding it was later. It
was like the wedding episode was like season six or seven,
and yeah, and and and I made some sort of
Actually I don't even think I said anything. I think
I just rolled my eyes and like, Rod, you walked away,
and you just turned to me and you said, you know,
for somebody who thinks that they're open minded, you're the

(54:37):
most judgmental person I've ever met. And it just just
floored me because you were right. And and then I like, yeah,
I just was so devastated. And I remember because my
girlfriend at the time from who was dating from college,
was there and I just started crying backstage and I
was like, I need to I need to go make
this right. And so I pulled you and Ben aside,

(54:58):
and I remember sitting out inside of the Kate the
CBS Radford, the smoking section where will we have smoked
the smoking and I remember I just went, I went
and sat you guys down and I just was like, hey,
I really I feel like I've been you know, just
not and I really, yeah, judgmental friend. And I really

(55:18):
care about you guys, and I don't want you to
feel like you know, I think I think we're going
to be in each other's lives forever, and I want
to make sure that we always love each other and
have respect. And yeah, and I just remember crying and Danielle,
you were so gracious and like forgiving and we talked
about it and you know, yeah, been able to stay
friends ever since.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
And look at that.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
So yeah, all right, let's move on to Melissa V.
Which person on the Boy Meets World set had the
most influenced or impact on your life during the run
of the show and which person had the most influence

(56:03):
after the show ended? So these are both people from
Boy Meets World.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Okay, such a hard question.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
It is a really hard question. So different people for
different reasons, that's the thing.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Well, you are forced to pick one of each.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Well, I think it's easiest for me to say post
Boy Meets World writer and will because I'm we have
I mean, look at this podcast, like as far as
influential on our lives and helping me look back over
the course of my time on the show and unpacking
a childhood, Like who's been more influential than these two

(56:42):
who we've gone on this journey with. So I think
I think for post Boy Meets World, you too, now.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
That we should take that off the table because that's
too obvious.

Speaker 15 (56:50):
Okay, let's take let's take synergy. Okay, you know what
I've been Okay, I would say David Calms during during
it was like, you know, he changed my life as
far as opening my mind to all the things. I
still care about it so much in an academic sense
and intellectual and artistic. And then post Boy Meets World,

(57:15):
I would say I've realized Jeff McCracken was a huge,
huge hero of mine, and I don't think I quite
knew it because he was so humble. Yeah, the man
never tooted his own horn, never let me know that,
you know, but he just inspired me.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
And like I've followed in his footsteps. I still think about,
you know, how he treated us, and like when I
went on Girl Meets World, he was my guiding light
as far as how to talk to the kids and
how to be and like, yeah, so Jeff has turned
out to be a huge influence on me that I
didn't quite realize at the time. If you had asked me,
I'd be like, oh, I love Jeff, But I don't
think I would have said like, oh, I want my

(57:52):
I want to be a director. I want to be
able to work with actors the way he does, and
like the way he, you know, brings people together and
cares about story telling, Like that's just who I've become.
And then teaching too. You know, he taught at Chapman.
Now I teach a Chapman. I'm like, oh, my god,
I've become Jeff McCracken.

Speaker 11 (58:07):
Just sure.

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Well, I mean, you couldn't couldn't really have a better
role model.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
I mean, my god, he's just a great guy and
super talented, and for me on the show, if I
have to take both of you out of the equation,
for both of them on the show, I would say
Bill Daniels was probably my biggest influence all the way around,
sometimes in talking and spending time together, sometimes in just
watching how he conducted himself.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
I mean, to this day, I still am never late.
I you know, know my life.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
It's like there's a professionalism that the man had that's
amazing and I emulate as much as I can, so
I would say Bill afterwards.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
McCracken's a good one too.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
I would throw Sherman into the mix because Jeff and
I have spent a lot of time together. We've we've
worked together, We've written projects together. Jeff Sherman has been
somebody I've I've had a lot of fun with. God,
just picking one is very hard. Obviously did not have
the same relationship with studio teachers that you both did
because you were in school for most of the time
that you were doing the show, where I just did
the first year. Tony Quinn is another one that he

(59:10):
and I were very close and still are.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
And so, yeah, picking one is just going to be
too hard for me.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
There's been David Kendall, There's been I mean, there's been
a lot of people that I've I've spent time with
post show that have helped to kind of shape the
person that I've become.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
There's a lot of them. Unfortunately, I wish I could
just pick one, but I can't.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
I feel like during the time on Boy Meets World,
I would love to say David Combs and Wesley they
were both you know, my teachers and were very influential
on me. But I also was just as a high
school student, wasn't that into school, and so they tried,
and certainly by the time then I ended up going
to college when I was twenty seven late in life,

(59:53):
I was very much like I can feel the David
and the Wesley like I can feel them, and I
feel all the things they said to me about why
I should care about this and why I should pay attention.
I feel it very much now. So I think their
influence hit me later. But I don't think there's any
way around me saying that the most influential person on

(01:00:15):
my time on Boy Meet's World was Michael Michael Jacobs.
I you know, I it would almost feel disingenuous to
say I cared about anybody's opinion as much as I
cared about Michaels. I never questioned whether or not what
Michael said was right or wrong. There was no it's wrong.

(01:00:35):
I thought everything he said was genius. I thought everything
he said was correct. I thought I lived on Yeah Gospel.
I lived on every word he said. And when he
said we were not doing a good job, I believed him.
And when he said that we were killing it and
things were great. I was constantly chasing that. So my

(01:00:56):
time on the show, Michael was the most influential person
for me. And then post Boy Meets World, I feel like,
similarly to what writer said, Jeff McCracken as a director.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Now I think.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
About Jeff and the way Jeff led us and talked
to us and his style, and I think about him
all the time, and he's still in my life and
he's the type of leader I want to be. He's
the type of he's the type of man I want
to be.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Frankly, I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
I want to be Jeff McCracken.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
And so I would say I have gone back to
conversations and moments and times with Jeff, so though I
think it would be Michael Jacobs while I was on
the show, and then post the show, Jeff McCracken.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
While we're talking about people you worked with and what
you feel about working with him. Here Shelley from down
Under Good.

Speaker 13 (01:01:55):
Eye, Guys, my question is, out of all accost who
is most like their character and who is least similar
to their character?

Speaker 7 (01:02:06):
That's the short and sweet cheers guys.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Hmm, that's a good question.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Good question.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Oh gosh, obviously Eric being a total Dodo bird is
not at all like Will. Will's very very smart, but
how funny Eric is, But.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Eric's not intentionally funny the way that Will's intentions you're
taking the experience of being around Will is similar to
the experience of watching Eric yours, but that's a completely
different you know, like, yeah, no, I was thinking that
through too. I was like, well, but it's that's just
the energy and the experience that's not the person.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
So I think Will is least Will is least like Eric.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
I'm probably the most like.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
I think you're pretty pretty a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
You're a lot like Sean, super sensitive, overly dramatics everything personally, Yeah,
likes poetry.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Likes poetry. Yeah, you don't come from a broken family.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
No, that's true.

Speaker 6 (01:03:15):
And in all fairness, they started to write to you
like like you were nothing like Sean at the beginning,
you know, but.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
That's the thing. I mean, yeah, a lot of like
Sean or Sean like like you. Sean's like me, I think, oh,
you know, you know, you know who's actually uh interestingly
Rusty is very Allen and that he's like a stable
like sort of you know, like uh, not aggressively but

(01:03:47):
simply masculine force and like no posturing, but very like
grounded and just like powerful and like I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Don't know, only honest moments like us.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
A little like cooler. Yeah, Alan, you know, Rusty's got
like a style that's like Alan's a little more like
suburban that Rusty's not. But they're very similar energies and
like same source of like good conversation and like advice
without being uh didactic, like just sort of like hey,

(01:04:21):
this is the way it works and let me help
you out here. I don't know, like I would say
they're very similar vibes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
Yeah, Betsy's very nurturing, like Amy's very nurturing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Yeah, but we didn't get to know Amy enough to
really know how how similar she is to be frankly,
Rusty's Rusty's actually kind of a good call.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
That's that's kind of a good call. And then who's least.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Twelve twelve year old to Banga was nothing like early Topanga.
Later Topanga also being like extremely type A and very
smart is not at all like high school Danielle.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
But this is very much like a don't.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
And yeah, you grew indeed, your character come.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
To Panga I did. Yeah, my mid twenties. All of
a sudden, I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:05:11):
I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Gosh, that's actually true. You are very similar to Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
That's why. That's why when you guys played exaggerated versions
of yourself and Eric Hollywood, I was like, what is this?

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Like, I didn't you didn't know that person?

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Yeah No. Danielle back then was very much like I'm
kind of like that, yeah, like everybody's best friend and
like do do do do?

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
And like social freely extroverted.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Extremely extroverted, like everybody's best friend, and like unting on
your lap like exactly. I remember the take being like, oh,
she doesn't care about she just does that to everybody.
Like she's just loving to everybody. She's everybody's friend.

Speaker 8 (01:05:54):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:56):
Everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Now, I just want to live alone on an island,
me alone.

Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
There's a bomb direct from there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
There you go. You just want to be on an
island with a bullhorn telling everyone else where to go.
Let's go over here, let's go over here, let's age
it from the top.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
Okay, So if this is a question a lot of
people had, and this is our last few here Missy
l If you could have chosen any well known nineties
kid actor to have joined the show in a reoccurring role,
who would it have been.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 6 (01:06:33):
I just popped right into my head, just because we
loved working with him and he was so much fun.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Was it?

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Was it John which Jackson was in Scream Jeremy Right?

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Was it Jonathan Jonathan Jackson, John Kenny Kenny?

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Remember we had a ton Let's be somebody who we
didn't work with.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
That's fair, that's fair, that's fair energy.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
I was gonna say Mac Mac with him in New
York after a boy and you know, became friendly and
he was the coolest guy and very smart, and I'm like,
we would have had a lot of fun. And I
remember being like, I had no idea that you were
this interesting and like cool, and he was like, yeah,
I always thought of you as just like a TV kid,
because back then it was like there were movie stars
and there were TV And like, he would have been awesome.

(01:07:23):
It's just really fun.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
Yeah, Elijah Wood would have been great too, like that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:28):
Yeah, Jonathan Taylor Thomas could have been an interesting addition
to the shows. Another sitcom like fellow sitcom.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Kid didn't happen to be We wouldn't have been able
to handle all that hair, all the hair between Will
and Ryer and me and Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
And it's too much hair.

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
There's a lot of hair, all right, So let's go
to uh kayleas c. Was there ever a time your
character had to do something and you felt in your

(01:08:06):
gut that your character would never have actually done this thing?

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
This is the person who's not familiar with Eric.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
I mean the legendary version of this was Ben not
wanting to and just making it a push off camera
because originally punched him in the face, which it's just
a but.

Speaker 6 (01:08:29):
It comes through, it comes through the door. I don't
think you you I don't know if you actually see
the push.

Speaker 4 (01:08:33):
You just see.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
Him fly through the door. It was like off camera,
it's like in the background because Ben was like, I'm
not Corey would never hit somebody. And it was a
big remember it's huge debit and TV Guide was there
that we that was like the one we had TV
guy Did they write an article about Yes, and they
like mocked Ben for being this child actor who's trying

(01:08:55):
and I remember, I don't remember I can't find the
article online. I don't because I actually look for it
because I feel like we've talked about it. I've been
like where is that. You can't find it online?

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
It somewhere, but it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
It's it's unfair because it's like, you know, and they
even interview Michael, and Michael's like Ben has his opinion,
like he's for you to do it, like he's the
star of this show. But the way the article made
it sound was like look at this cute actor trying
to be Paccino and like shaking over his show. And
it's like, no, we were having and it was one
of the few times actually that Ben really stood his

(01:09:25):
ground on something because creatively, as far as like what
his character would or would not do.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
I remember that note session. That was a big thing.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
It was supertense. I mean, for yeah, I don't, I
don't really.

Speaker 8 (01:09:39):
Eric.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Eric would do anything changed every week.

Speaker 6 (01:09:41):
So it was just I mean, it's true if you'd
say no.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
I mean for me. The poetry thing was was when
I was like no this, you know, I ended up
writing the poetry, but in retrospect, it was less about
the poems. It was more about like this whole thing,
like why is Shawn a poet? And like watching the
show now, I'm like, yeah, that's so out of character.
Like literally have episodes about how dumb poetry is to
Shaan in the first four seasons or five seasons, so

(01:10:05):
for him to then suddenly you know, yes, this doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
I think there are going to be moments coming up
that I remember going like, oh, yeah, this feels very
out of character because I don't remember. I know, I
don't remember a lot of six and seven. If you
thought I didn't remember a lot about one through five,
just wait, but.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
I need to Yale, right, I mean, even that we're
getting married at that age or any of that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
Kind of stuff, seems it would go to Yale, But
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
I remember also at the time thinking like, yeah, there's
nothing to Panga has made more clear than the idea
that Corey is this she puts his love and their
relationship above everything else. She walked, she walked from Pittsburgh.
She's so like deciding to propose and not going to Yale.
At the time, I think felt very much like I

(01:10:54):
thought Danielle thought it was romantic and that Topanga should
and would say no, this is my I'm man, and
even and not not understanding that it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Didn't it didn't need to choose that way.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
It is the defining It's the moment that defines the
Panga in some way, like it is she is a romantic,
she is a person.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
There's something that comes up with something pertaining to the
prank War.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
There's something about that prank.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
War episode that also sits sits with me as being
I don't remember the details of it, apparently I interacted
with a bear, but also that sits with me as
being the moment I checked out. There's something about that
that episode that I have a feeling as being like
we we've lost we've lost it, We've officially.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
I wonder if it was the Maitland thing.

Speaker 6 (01:11:40):
I wonder if it was putting up a giant picture
of Maitland in her neglige in the thing, because I
remember specifically, there's then Topanga has a line where it's
like Corey and Sean do that, and because it's Corey
and sew and Tapanga are are on one team and
and Maitland are on another team, and so one of
the things that then Corey and Sean go and do
is they find a sexy photo that Maitland took, that

(01:12:03):
Rachel takes and sends to Matt's character. It's it's then
stolen by Sean and Corey, who blow it up full
size and plaster it in the the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:17):
It is to the point where the joke is.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
Then when Matt goes, I can't believe you did this,
and he rips it down, there's three or four more
underneath it where he keeps ripping it down and it
keeps being her picture in the like the lingerie. So
I wonder if that's where it was kind of because
it was straight up revenge porn. I wonder if it
was that remember that Maybe no, yeah, this is because

(01:12:40):
it was so kind of out of character for everybody
where it was just like, oh that's that's a that's
a bad one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
That maybe it was that Wow, maybe maybe So I'll
let you know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
I don't know that I that I've seen one with
Tepega yet that I'm like, no, she would never have
done that, But I know that they're coming.

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Yeah, what about the trap? You don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Again, I don't think it was.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I don't think she meant I don't think she meant
to trap him. I don't think she meant to trap him.

Speaker 5 (01:13:08):
Also off the table, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Yeah, and by the way, I want And even if
even if it was a trap, you're allowed, she's allowed,
she's allowed to say go and do it, and then
when you do it, go I don't like the fact
that you had to do it. Nothing wrong with that,
nothing wrong with changing your mind when your boyfriend's cheated
on you and you're trying to within a few seconds
make a decision about whether or not it's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Wasn't a trap on?

Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
This was another episode with the audience. This last question,
the last real question, at least I have one to
end it all. This is from Laura. L If you
could spend the day with your character in the real
world for one day, where would you go and uh,
what would you do?

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Hm?

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Oh Sean?

Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Fortunately you can visit Sean every other weekend for an
hour at the prison that he's in.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
So oh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Had a poetry reading.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
Yeah, no, I don't know. I think. Yeah, I would go.
We'd go on a hike, we go backpacking, go to
I can see that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
I'd take to Penga, back to something she would have
loved in the early days.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
I'd bring her back to her roots. Maybe we'd maybe
I do yoga, a.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Yoga, I do yoga and uh and ayahuasca.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
You're doing ayahuasca.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna doyasa.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Probably set that up.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
Enough ayahuasca and it's gonna be LIKELF anyway, that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
I would I would take Eric.

Speaker 6 (01:14:46):
I don't know, maybe skydiving because it scares the hell
out of me. Already done it, so maybe i'd go scot.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
You know what I would do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
I would let Sean take me to Philly. That's to
show me around Philadelphia, so I'd get this cool city
experience that like Sean hasn't something.

Speaker 5 (01:15:03):
To do with.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
There'd graffiti someplace, you see them.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
We joined the mob.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
We tried to deliver drugs.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
You know, we'd figure something out totally.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
You'd howl like a dog and the moon.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
That's great. Our last question here. First, we should thank
everyone as always for something. Thank you emails and voice
memos we got again, so many and it was a
very short window we allowed people to send it in,
so we appreciate it and we'll do these again as
things come up. But here's Catherine, very timely for where
we are in the episode, she has a question for Will.

Speaker 9 (01:15:38):
Hi, this is Kathy calling from the motherland of Philadelphia,
and I had a question for Will. Could you please
settle a marital dispute for me? My husband and I
have been debating whether you brainstorm the way you're gonna
say merch while you're watching the episode for the week,
or do you make them up on the fly while
you're on the pod. Thank you so much, and thank

(01:15:59):
you to all three of you for producing my favorite podcasts.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):

but I think I already know the answer.

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
I make it. What Yeah, you make it?

Speaker 8 (01:16:08):
I make it?

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
And sometimes what's funny is literally until Danielle says and
we've got I'm like, oh, I don't have an I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Can see it. He like looks off to the side.
He was like, OK, can we do a super cut
of that moment and can kind of go back through
old episodes and we could see a super good of
just when she says and ned you could watch will go.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
I want a supercut of that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
And before this show concludes, before Pod meets World, says
good night and goes off into the sunset.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
It'll come back with a new Dawn.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
But but when we're done recapping the episodes, I want
every merch call as its own episode, all of them.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Of just all of them, everyone one hundred and fifty.
It'd be one hundred and fifty. Oh no, well you double.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
The interviews, I want every.

Speaker 5 (01:17:03):

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
That's what I want.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
Oh god, yeah, We'll just started out as you just
saying merch the same way every time, right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
