Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Do we want to discuss real briefly how I have actual Topanga hair right now?
Yes.
Please tell us why. So yesterday was our day off and we're in Buffalo and I had to wash my own hair like some kind of peasant.
I know.
This is not the life I'm accustomed to. I bring my Be Free by Daniel Fishel hair products into a dry bar every seven days like clockwork and they wash my hair. And there's no dry bar in Buffalo.
Wait, you were saying stuff that doesn't... I don't even know what a dry bar is. Oh, my gosh.
So you don't take a shower at home and wash your own hair in your... I take a shower every day, sometimes twice a day. Okay. I just don't wash my own hair.
Why? It's just too much of a thing?

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about the episode's quality?
Your girl did a search. There's no dry bar in Buffalo. And the closest similar like dry bar adjacent place is 25 minutes away. And that's not that far, but I just didn't want to do it. I was like, you know what? I'll just wash my own hair.
Oh God.
So I washed and dried my own hair and then decided, what if I did about 20 little braids and,
While I slept so that I could take it out and have heat-free waves.
And this is the Topeka hair I got.
So you didn't fly your mom out to stay up all night braiding your hair?
I didn't. I know. What a waste. What a waste, you know?
Wow. So then the place you thought about going was the Ellie Air Blow-Dry Bar.
Will found it. That's exactly the place.

Chapter 3: What was the significance of the organ grinder and monkey subplot?
You don't even know what city you're in. You're in Buffalo, yes. I was like, great. Hello, Cleveland.
I had the Cleveland wings. Good for you.
There's a famous place there, I guess, that does like 30 different flavors, and one of them they do with like peanut butter that's apparently really amazing and all this kind of stuff. No, no.
I should have known to talk to you before my day off to figure out what I should do.
I'm still not talking to you food-wise after Panettone, so Panettone Gate.
Oh, sorry. Okay, Panettone, you're done with me. There's a casino within walking distance from my hotel. I'm looking at it, and I didn't go.
I was going to say, you're the only person that's going to come back from a national tour in the hole. It's like somehow it cost me $12,000 to go on tour with Dancing with the Stars. Never bring Danielle on a casino tour. You're paying her in chips.
I'll have you know, I'm up $200.
Nice. Nice. Yeah.

Chapter 4: How does the storyline address privacy issues among friends?
Not knowing it's Super Bowl Sunday. No, that's the thing. And then maybe you go somewhere and there's good dips and chips. I love a good dip. And then I do the commercials. I'll step in and watch the commercials. Well, there you go. Yeah, so the whole thing is very interesting. But at the same time, Danielle, we were ready for you to come back now. You can come back now.
Aw, only a couple more weeks. Only two more weeks.
Okay, there you go, which is good. And Ryder, I still have your Christmas present. believe it or not, but I'm not bringing it to Nashville.
Is it another panettone?
No, no. Neither of you are worthy of it anymore. It's what I gave you. I like the panettone. I just couldn't eat the whole thing. I had a couple bites and was like, this is cool. I've never said that sentence in my life. I couldn't eat the whole thing. It's not something I've ever said once in my life. No, it's Danielle. It's the thing I gave you when I saw you. And I have one for Ryder as well.
Very cute. Very, very cute. I won't ruin the surprise.
Okay, good. Which is good.
Welcome to Pod Meets World. I'm Danielle Fishel.

Chapter 5: What dilemmas do the characters face regarding their living arrangements?
It was directed by Kevin Tracy, his second episode as director. He had one in season six. He was an assistant director for the show who also worked on All That, Family Matters, and Smart Guy. Kevin unfortunately passed in 2003 at the young age of 48. This episode was written by Allison M. Gibson, her third of four Boy Meets World episodes.
She wrote two in season six and had worked on Home Improvement, Sister, Sister, and Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. But most notably, she created the TV show Reba. So before I jump into our guest stars, we have four. Would you guys like to share your overall thoughts?
Will and I were already shaking our heads. We were both going like this. Just listening to what the episode's about, we're like, oh, holy shit.
Is this a worse episode than the one right before we just watched?
Yes. I was thinking about how to put this. This is the worst episode for me ever of Boy Meets World that we've seen.
Acting or just the way you feel about it?
My feelings about this episode... I agree. There may be worse episodes, but like what, and the way I was thinking about it was like, if before the pod meets world journey and you, you, before we started this and you said, right. I watched this one episode. I would have been like, Oh, that's it. This is the biggest piece of crap. This is, I am so embarrassed that I was ever a part of it.
And I would have like never watched another episode of boy meets world. Cause you know, like, This is horrible. After doing Pod Meets World, of course, like all the things we've said about how wonderful our show was and it has so many great qualities and like, I'm so proud of it in so many ways. But when I watched this, it put me right back into this like insecure, oh my God. What are we doing?
Yeah. And I, it just really made me, me and I felt, I felt ugly. I felt like the way I looked was weird. The way my wardrobe was, was weird in a way that I haven't felt for a long time. And like, it was very insecure about my face and like the, the, the acting itself. And then of course the storyline that I'm in is awful. Like it's truly like bad in like every way.

Chapter 6: How does Eric's character evolve throughout the episode?
Like all the relationships that we've spent four episodes making such a big freaking deal out of like way too much of a deal. And then we're just going to toss that. Oh my God. I'm so pissed off.
I know. Couldn't agree more. And I feel exactly the same way about myself. Hate my hair. Hate my hair this season. I've not liked my hair once in any episode. Weird. This wardrobe is just despicable.
So what happened? My wardrobe is completely different this episode and it doesn't feel right. Like I don't know. No. Will, you're gorgeous. Yeah. What? Gorgeous. Yeah, when Will was talking about, Will was talking about having gained all this weight. He looks phenomenal in the last two episodes. And then I was looking at this episode, I'm like, what are you talking about?
I was like, yeah, I was like, what, Will? No. That necklace is holding on for dear life. I'm amazed that I don't wake up every morning blue. You're just next to Matt Lawrence, who's like, you know, he's like a fit model. Yeah, of course. Yeah, but I mean, that's, if you're comparing, but you look totally fine.
fine dude you're definitely slightly chubbier than you were the season before but you were always skinny so what the hell it's husky will whatever dude it's nothing to me it's nothing when eric with a monkey is the best part of the episode this episode
I actually really like the B storyline. I thought it was fun, yeah. The B storyline, I love.
Which is actually the A storyline, I think, technically. It is technically the A. It's way more screen time. If you light up my union, it's supposed to be about. And I love the idea of Jack and Feeney having something. That was cool. Yes, but this is the first time it was so heavy handed.

Chapter 7: What ethical questions arise from the characters' actions?
I know.
Could we call it out anymore? Oh, it's like three times.
And he happens to be sitting there right at the exact time. Like, there you go. I know. Oh, this episode. What I said about all the other episodes that were bad were like, hey, it was funny bits and the story's not great and we're not great, but we're making each other laugh and funny bits. This had none of that.
This was just it was this is arguably the worst episode of our series that I've seen in seven years.
Well, I mean, I feel that way about the way writer. I feel the way writer felt. There may be worse episodes of TV because I think then if we're going to say for me, it felt like.
The, which is I apparently the B story, the, our stupid making out story and the horrible invasion of ethics and morals and just human decency that takes place in what I thought was the A storyline because I'm, it's so unbearable to me. It was, it was, all of it was wrong. How is that Topanga?
How is that Topanga? And I mean, I mean, Sean, Corey, we're all everybody's awful. And it's like awful for what joke? What for the sake of it wasn't a joke. It's to get Maitland into underwear. Yes, that's it. That's the whole point. It's disgusting. It was like it just like the worst of like, well, you know, it was it's truly just you think there's worst episodes of our show than this one?
Yes, because what I'll say is the storyline, the storyline between you and Jack, I love the idea that everyone thinks like, oh, Jack's got it all together. His family comes from money. He's smart. He's this. We've seen multiple episodes of him just looking around at other people going, what this dummy? And then to have an episode where actually, you know what, Jack?
you could afford to learn a lot from your friend. And for you to then have this redeeming storyline where, oh, stupid Eric trusts somebody who clearly is just out to scam him. Only then, it wasn't a scam at all. He always did intend to give you back your money. And you, like, I... So then why play it like it was a scam? Why play it like it was a scam?

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts on the episode's themes and characters?
But writing-wise, I agree. That storyline was cool. Yeah, the idea is great. Yeah, and involving Feeney and Jack. All of that was cool. It's a little... I don't know. When I think about the bank scene with suddenly all these guest stars talking and...
oh god it was like it just falls so flat like it's just so uninteresting and like yeah it's it's bad um but i i agree like the storyline i can handle whereas the storyline the other the b story is just like this should have just been thrown out right away i mean immediately but yeah i for some reason i have it in my head that we all disliked a lot of other episodes earlier like that there were clear winners of like the worst episode of boy me throw we've always talked about the honeymoon but we haven't seen it yet so we don't know yet
But I don't know. I guess in my mind, like when I watched this, I was like, I guess it's... I don't know if this is the worst episode, but it definitely was the worst to watch for me. Like it was the hardest to watch for me of all the episodes.
Another thing I'll say, because... I think the storyline of now that you are three women living together, two of whom have long-term boyfriends and there being a sense of what are the boundaries? How do we figure this out? Do you get a key? Do you not get a key? And even the idea of, okay, Topanga gave a key and that really makes Maitland upset because she does walk out in a towel and
And then what are you doing here? And she runs back, gets dressed, comes back out and goes, okay, how did you get here? Oh, we had to keep ordering takeout, takeout arrives. She's like, you're just ordering food to my place. And like all of that, great. Tons of room for comedy. Great things. If they insisted on having the diary moment, maybe because she didn't know that you guys had a key.
She left her diary out on the table and it looked like a book. And one of you accidentally picked it up and opened it, started reading it and then going, wait, what even is this? Oh, my gosh, it's her diary. And now you've read and she comes out when you're reading it.
So hysterical that Corey and Sean go through her underwear.
Just one more time. One more time. We could do one more time. Who gets to see that purple number?
You're a bad girl. It's so gross. And it's like, it's not Corey. It's not Sean.
