Speaker 2 (03:11):
An annual tradition at iHeart Podcasts, the deserving crew behind
the scenes will get the entire week off, which means
no new podcast as we watch fireworks and eat hot dogs.
But we wanted to chat a little bit about the
big series finale live show we announced for July twenty
third at the iHeart Theater in Burbank, including a meet
and greet package where you'll be able to touch writer's jacket.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, I think it is touch my jacket.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
It actually says, touch writer's jacket. Professor elbow patches.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Okay, it sounds like it's still a euphemism.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
And then Professor elbow patches sounds like somebody in Craggle Rock.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
What do we do now, Professor elbow patches.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So we have never done a recap app in front
of people? Are you a little Are you guys at nervous?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
No, you're gonna do most of the work. Yeah, we
just watch you and then jump in and then are
you nervous?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, I'm not nervous.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
But I did ask for cards rather than eight and
a half by eleven pieces of paper, so that I
can at least ask.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
That it be like circ to sole.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh, so we're going to be underwater for most of
which I think is going to be fun, really exciting.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Are we gonna have to go through the intense training
that Debbie Dunning did to learn how to swim with
the dolphins?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Several months of training? Several months? Do we know? Is
the last episode?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Does it have a bunch of clips?

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Is it a clip show as well? Half really really
is just the first one.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
It feels like maybe I've heard every relationship besides the parents.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
So I just can't imagine. The only scenes I remember.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I remember Ben talking to our little brother, who's now
way older than you should be, and the final scene
with Feeni, and that can't be twenty two minutes.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
So we're missing something.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, right, can't be clips, though, I hope there's like other.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Stuff to talk about.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, I think it's clips. Oh my gosh, I can't believe.
We really don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, I mean, well, can you think of any other scenes?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Scene?

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Me too, So we gotta I mean, there's got to
be something else. Said goodbye to everybody, and.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Even thinking about where a Brave New World Part one
ended with Sean having his bag, we're heading toward the backyard.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's almost like, yes, we just go in the backyard.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
He says goodbye to Joshua and then we go to
the classroom.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I think that's it.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah, so two scenes and clips.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Who do you think is going to cry? Among the
three of us? It's not going to be will.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I think it's me, You know me, I'm just an
open his class.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
His glass eye is going to leak, it.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Is, seriously, it does that all the time anyway, now,
of course, you know me where my heart and my sleeve.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
I cry all the time, cry all the time, such
a softie.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to cry if
I am. Yeah, I not because there there isn't emotion
involved in wrapping up the podcast and everything.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
But I don't know, it feels it feels very I feel.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Celebratory about what we've done and what we've accomplished in
celebratory about the show, But I don't know that where
the show ended script wise or relationship wise felt as
strong as maybe some of our previous seasons.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, I think I'm going to be more emotional about
this version of the podcast ending than I am about
Boy Meet's World ending, if that makes it right, right,
Because I feel like boy metsroll with how I am
with television, with mash and all that kind of stuff.
I can always go back and watch boy Met Trold again,
Like that's how that's one of the things I love
about TV. I can so that's what at least again,

(06:52):
that's what the clips have made me want to do.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
Right. Yes, I didn't remember scenes and I'm like, wait,
when did Corey plant plant with Fen?

Speaker 4 (07:00):
I was like, I don't remember these scenes at all.
I do I did.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I didn't remember until he said and wish it well,
so it has to be the one where he thought.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
He killed Phoenix the end of the first season.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, but no I yeah, so I but the podcast,
this version of the podcast, and how we've grown his podcasters,
that that's going to be done, And so I think
I'm going.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
To be more emotional about that than I am about
I know.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I do love that idea of going back and picking
just like a few episodes that you know, and rewatching
and seeing what our thoughts are now in them, because yeah,
there are so many moments I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Not just that, but there's so many times the fans
told us we got it wrong.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, I'd like to go back.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
And watch some of the ones where they're like, you
guys really missed the boat on this one.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Like that?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
To me?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
