Show notes

Mr. Feeny assigns Shawn the task of getting Super Bowl tickets, but Danielle, Rider and Will have a much more realistic goal: to recap another Season 5 episode!

The gang reveals a bit too much about their sleeping attire and we try to figure out the history of a certain hand motion that goes with “taco” on BMW.

You don’t want to be the last one on a freezing cold billboard, so come in where it’s warm - on a brand new Pod Meets World!

The gang is headed back into the writer’s room to hang out with Lara Olsen, a co-writer on some of the most iconic (and controversial) Season 5 Boy Meets World episodes!

The gang questions if “Christmas Eve Day” is even a thing and Rider noticed the Caroling moment may have been a bigger deal in his memory than it ended up being on the screen.
Plus, Danielle shares her revelatory experience in Las Vegas that has transformed her into a Dead Head, on a new yuletide edition of Pod Meets World!

Jonathan Del Arco Meets World Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

This week we’ve got an amazing guest - of this I am sure.
Nunzio himself, actor Jonathan Del Arco, is hanging out with the gang and looking back on his scene-stealing turn as a dancing waiter in the Season 5 episode, “Last Tango in Philly.”
There aren’t many actors in Hollywood who made the jump from The Wonder Years and Blossom to The Sopranos and Star Trek, but he somehow pulled it off, all while navigating the unwelcoming waters for gay actors in 1990s Hollywood.
In addition to his incredible on-screen career, Jonathan has become a philanthropic force, working with 5 Presidential campaigns and winning the 2013 Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign. But even with all these accomplishments, he still has some words for Rider about a long-standing grudge he has with the Strong boys. Learn all about it - on a brand new Pod Meets World!

TGI – Episode 510 “Last Tango in Philly” Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

This week we’ve got some Hot Stuff to recap!

It might be a meme-friendly and beloved BMW episode, but the gang still has some major questions! Is this Mexican restaurant just an alternate universe Chubbies? Is dancing with a man cheating on your boyfriend? And WTF is going on with the side/front/sidewalk yard?

Another guest star steals the show and Fenny’s salad plate is starting to look full.

Plus, Will and Rider take us behind the scenes of the iconic dance sequence to find out what the legendary Bill Daniels might have personally choreographed - on a brand new Pod Meets World!
