TGI – Episode 707 “It’s About Time” Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

Yup. The wedding episode is upon us. Reliving the moment of Topanga finally walking down the aisle was an emotional ride for Danielle, Will and Rider, but what did the gang REALLY think of the episode, now 30 years later??

They RSVP’d for the ceremony with warranted trepidation, but maybe, just maybe, things are better than they feared.

However…why haven’t we explored more of Angela? And at this point, who is the “boy” in Boy Meets World anyway?

Plus, the gang looks back on their own real-life weddings, and we find out what they would change if they could do it all over. So meet us at the Philadelphia Victorian Hotel for a special (and matrimonial) Pod Meets World recap!

Show notes

Adam Pally is a comedy favorite, but more importantly, he’s Danielle’s kids' favorite actor.

Listen as Adam shares his most embarrassing teenage stories - and reveals just how bad a student you can be and still end up in Iron Man 3.

From “Happy Endings” to “The Mindy Project” to "The Mandalorian," Adam has always been hard to pin down - that is unless it's a brand new Teen Beat!

Pod Meets Twirl'd: The Traitors 409 Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Will and Rider have emerged from the turret and are ready for another Season 4 recap of The Traitors!

The boys think they’ve hit a turning point, taking the season from fun to phenomenal. They love the dynamic between Rob and Eric, but admit it’s tough to ignore the castle’s paranoia since Michael Rapaport’s elimination.

But even with that in mind - our hosts can’t help but admire Rob’s strategy and wonder if he’s the the undeniable favorite to win it all.

Plus, Will shares his idea to incentivize the rewards, but could it work in a castle of traitors?? Nothing is sacred on Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

This is not a drill. You've been invited to the biggest wedding in TGIF history and it's time to get ready. What will you wear? Who will you bring? Why are so many people dressing problematically Southern?

The search for Cory’s best man gets heated and Topanga apparently has terrible taste. Watch along as characters abandon 7 seasons of personal development just for a few big laughs and a "documentary style" episode.

Plus, Will discovers a new favorite curse word and Danielle discovers the magic of a children’s rave, all on a new recap episode of Pod Meets World!

Before she was podcast royalty, Nicole Byer was a “talkative” student who hung out at Chili’s after school plays and had a honey bear bong. So yeah…she’s always been cool.

Danielle learns all about the lore of Nicole’s New Jersey hometown, including the drama from her high school clique, cryptically deemed “CKLEN”.

Plus, we go behind the scenes of what a day working with John Cena is like and learn the gritty details of the underground holding cell beneath Macy’s.
