Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well here we are, just a mere week away from
our Pod meets World Final recap live show, and while
putting a tiny little bow on season seven, it's time
to partake in an exercise we have been looking forward
to since the pilot. And those are the Phoenies.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
But you're not going to do your sound sound any announcement.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
We have a sound the Phoenies get nothing the track,
The Phoenies crickets.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
There we go. That's there.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
They're all so good. Who's on the button killing it
over here?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Do you have Do you have a fart sound on
the button? I know that it sounds so much. It's
like if I ever in a situation where they're playing that,
I am at the wrong event, Like I do not
want to be there. That's like they're gonna should be
shooting T shirts into the audience.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, yes, wrestling, yeah, everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
The other one I can't stand is I can hear you.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
It's like, stop, oh my god, I'm sorry, but the
only thing better than a free T shirt is it
being fired at me at seventy miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Lose that you guys
ready for the Poies?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Writer hates fun.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I know forst fun. That's forst fun. That's the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Nothing's fun karaoke and yet you seriously, my god, now
we're gonna put on music and make you sing to
it in front of people, even though.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
You have no skills.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Unreal.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, mister guys, has been two weeks.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's going fire on all cylinders. God, so the Phoenix.
It's all our version of an award show, the Oscars,
the Grammys, the Emmys, the Nobel Prize, even where we
look back on everything we've watched and then hand out
awards for what we genuinely think are the best aspects
of boy Meet's world. We have some major categories here,

(02:41):
some important awards to hand out, so we'll be given
some nominees, but as a group, we can also suggest
people we may have missed, but we do have to
have a consensus ultimate winner for each How hard do
you think this is going to be?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think it was going to be two to one
in most cases, so I think. But I think there's
gonna be at least three that were completely divided on that.
We each have a favorite and we're not going to
back down.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Don't you think when you say it's gonna be two
to one on most you think, are there a specific
two of us that are going to be voting for
one thing and one person against it?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I actually didn't think that far ahead. But well, yeah,
I actually don't know. Let's find out.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I'm so daniel Danielle and I disagree with you, writer, Okay,
this is gonna go.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
We don't think that. We don't think that at all.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
The problem is, here's the problem. When I was and
when I go through this list, there are so many
different Boy Meets worlds. I know, Yeah, I honestly and
I feel like there's a part of me that if
I if I really think about like what I think
or like what I personally think or feel now that
I've watched the show, it's different than if I think

(03:54):
about what Pod Meets World thinks as a group. Does
that make sense? Like, like, after we've all been through
this and all all the discussions we had, I'm pretty
sure where we're going to land on most of these.
But if I like were to like dig down deep
and be like, well, which one do I really care about?
I think it might be at odds with you guys
at times. So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
I also love just watching you with wherever you are
right now. It's like watching Max Max Headroom back in
the eighties.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh because I remember, oh oh oh, we don't.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Know your the Wi Fi sound you sound great, So
your video is at least twenty seconds behind you.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I'm on campground wi Fi. Yeah, okay, i am
in a campground. There's no cell service, but there's Wi Fi.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, when your credit card gets stolen, that's how they
get you.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
That's how they get touch, That's how they get job.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay, let's start light but still still substantial here. Let's
start with best drive by. Now this our dear listeners
will know. This is foreign actor who appears in just
one episode, is not on screen for even super long.
But they did the absolute most with what they had.

(05:05):
So I may be missing some here, but these are
the people that I have listed for us to choose from,
unless you have more suggestions. But there's Arianna Richards as
Claire Ferguson, Risha Haley as Corina Collins, Great Dommie Rara
as Bosco Cellini, John Balma as the hotel clerk. Now

(05:30):
he did appear in two episodes.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but still a drive Bke. It's it's like a
scene stealing beat both times.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Julio Oscar Machosa as Doctor Sanchez.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I mean, this guy came out of nowhere from me.
That was like going to tell you a story with
his eyes. Rider can tell you a story with his eyes.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
So good. Danielle Harris has t K, Lindsey Price is
Linda great. And Jerry Levine as Philip Mack. I mean,
this is a hard category to give an award to.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I would have to add Friend of the Podcast Natania.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Ross okay, great.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
I think she was pretty damn good in her episode
Absolute drive By. Yeah, there's there's a few, but this
is a this is a solid list. I mean, this
is a for now question. How much are we how
much of it is for Boy Meets World the episode

(06:35):
and for the whole week, Like I'm thinking of Lesha
Haley who came in and at the at the table
read like brought her guitar and sung every song, Like
does that factor in? Or are we just talking about
just the episode of Boy Meets World.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh, I think it's okay. I My big my question
is like does that count as a drive by?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Because if the whole episode is about her.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I know that's because the best guest That's what I mean.
There's like three on here that I were like that.
I would say Daniel Harris, Leisha Haley, and Jerry Levine.
I don't know if maybe Arianna Richards. I don't know
if i'd count them as drive. But because the whole
episode was about them, yeah, they were great. But I mean,
like I wouldn't. I wouldn't like, if we're going to
do that, then it's Lesia Haley to me because she

(07:20):
came in the whole, She made the whole. All the
Boy Meets World became about her character, her episode. She sang,
she was funny, she went through a complete character arc.
That's like a perfect like who are you? You took
over this entire show. But if we're talking like somebody
who was just had one beat, but you'll never forget them.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, i'd have to agree. That's maybe that's like best
guest star.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, well we have Best Guest Star Female and Best
Guest Star Male coming up, so.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Maybe we did recurring for those.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Oh yeah, you're right, one off character.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, let's best best best best one guest star that
the episode's about you. Yeah, you know, like, yeah, okay,
so let's let's move Arianna Richards, Leisha Haley, Daniel Harris,
and let's move those Will.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
We just say that those are the ones who were considering,
like because they're so there's there's such powerhouses, Like why
why if we're going to keep creating new categories so
we don't have to make a choice.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I don't think we.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Want to make a new category. Let's just let's just
decide what this means. Does it mean in the history
of Boy Meets World, this was the best guest star
who did one episode and or one scene.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
If that's the case, I think it would have to
be that.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Then then I think it's Alicia for me.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Gosh, Daniel Harris was really good.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Harris Harris either one I'd be happy with.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say different, But I see
what you're saying, writer, and I feel like we're almost
doing a disservice because you get somebody like Daniel Harris
or Alicia Haley, there were the whole thing was about them.
But then you get Dmi Rare who had two scenes
but was hysterical, right, I know.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I know there's also not on this list because I
was confused. When I saw the doctor Sanchez, I thought
it was the doctor from the season seven episode where
Corey goes to the Doctor of the hypochondract the hypochondriac
thing funny because I was hysterical.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I was funny.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yep, But all right, that's more scene Steeler. I I okay,
I think it's do we can all agree it's it's
Danielle Harris or Lesia.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes, I think we can all list this list for
this for the list we have in this drive by,
I would say, and and for memorable Boy meets World. Uh,
and maybe we should have separated drive by by men
and women too, the same way we did guest stars, because,
like I go, I think of if I think of
Boy meets World, legacy guest star, We're going.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
To create a category for everybody on this list.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Who made me.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Cry, Lindsay Price's drive By who made us giggle?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
But not Philly Guffaw, best guest cast drive By about
a cult exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
No, let's just say, let's just say we can get
it down to Alicia or Danielle Harris. Okay, let's just
say that, and then here's what I with her out there.
Here's what I with her out there. They're both amazing. Yeah,
sometimes this is what I used to evaluate performance. No,
can you imagine somebody else playing that part?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yes? For both? For both? Really Yeah, Lisha wrote.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
The songs, dude, I know.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
But again, it's like when she walked in, nobody knew
who she was.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
She was amazing, But you could have gone to some
nineties pop star to come in and kind of play
that role.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
I again, Lisha would have been my first pick too,
But then I'm also thinking of Danielle. And that's why
I'm asking because the lead the whole week with Lesha
was amazing, Meaning from the second she sat down and
I'm watching her at the table read, pull her guitar
out and sing every single song at the table read,
it was like the whole week was about her, and
she was incredible every step of the way.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Alsome.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Then I think we have to go with Lesia Haley.
I do. I yeah, I think we have to go there.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I don't disagree.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean, she's amazing, She's amazing. She brought so much
to that with her, you know, musical ability. Uh yeah,
I don't know. Really, even though you could picture someone
else in the role, could would anyone else have done
with that role what she did? Maybe?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Not?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
All right? Our first one, we've come to a consensus.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yes, Daniel Harris's.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Leisha Haley as Parena Collins. Congratulations to you, Lisia one
a Phoenie.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I can't hear you.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Okay, our next award, our next Fhoenie is best prop
now the.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Moan Matthews so dark.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Obviously seven seasons of Boy Meets World, so many incredible props.
Here are some to get our noodles rolling. There's the
roller coaster car that Corey and feenear in, the giant
yogurt cup, the pencil that killed Kenny, the earring Eric

(12:48):
leaves in his parents' bed o, shady Melon, the lollipop
in the plays with squirrels, Beard, the rolls from they
want you to take, the roles, and the couch that
Eric is in.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
I have to add a big one, okay.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
The Celery poster, Oh, Celery poster.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
It was so good.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
You're right that the Celery is up later for best joke.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
You can he can win two things.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Your best actor technically technically not a prop, no technically.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Set decoration, yeah, fair, fair, fair okay, I man I
don't think the roles are what make they want you
to take the roles. Funny Man's performance to you all
of that, so I say we take out the roles.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
I think we also made shady melon shady melon as
opposed to shady melon being an important That's what I'd be.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
But as so far as if it's the Podmets World
of Ward, it's huge. This is the one we're going
to remember forever because it was there were so many
layer layers to it. It was discovering that. So this prop
is a Hamlet reference, one which we realized while recapping
it then that it was just a weird looking melon.
That's so funny. Yeah, we have T shirts made up
of I know.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
The Kenny pencil is pretty phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Though, I mean really really well done. That giant yogurt
cup looked so expensive.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, spinklssh Spinkles is coming.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
That opened season two and or season three and we
went what what kind of money were we given?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yep, m hmm.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, No, that was big roller coaster also though, because
behind the scenes stories like that was a big week.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, it almost killed Ben. Yeah, what are you guys
leaning toward if you had to, if you had to
pick right now, what would you pick.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
As the podmets World shady Melon? Okay, terms of in
terms of the second you see it, it's maybe the couch.
Like I mean, the second you see it, you're like,
that is one of the best Boy meets World references.
It's so iconic, it's so freaking funny. I feel like
there are like four Eric props in here, So I

(15:18):
feel like, given Eric a prop, you know, an Eric
prop moment makes sense. Yeah, because you did so many good,
great prop jokes. The lollipop you actually created right, yeah,
will Yeah, I mean that's so good, that's that's the same.
I would say.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
There's also you could go much deeper with the couch
in that we were all on it. At certain times,
different couples made out, people broke up the you know.
I think Angela's dad came in and sat down and
talked to her about leaving.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
I mean that couch did a lot of heavy lifting.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
No, I mean we should have actually had a best
wardrobe moment, in which case I think the couch would
win because technically it's wardrobe.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
But and I say, either the cat your shady melon.
Guys that's where I'm But but if anyone else's.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I could make the argument to throw in as a
very good third and maybe even tied for second with
the couch. I think we can all agree that as
far as the pod meets world, the Feenie goes to
shady Melon.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, so let's right here, honorary honorary Peenie to the
shady melon and the couch. Also, but the lollipop, I'm
really being that we're talking about the idea that the
couch is really a clothing item he wears. Also, even

(16:40):
though it is the couch that everyone sat on, it's
a slightly different version because they had to cut your
face out of it. I don't know, I really think
that lollipop it's not about and he just pulls it out,
takes a little lick of it, puts it back. It's
pretty minerable.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
I am, however, going to throw a little curveball at
you because it's not on the list.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
But we've talked about it a thousand times.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
It's even spawned its own style of acting, which is
acting That.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Phone was wireless, all of us with the.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Antenna being closed, and we got to use this and
Ben's acting, and do we shut it off?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Do we not shut it off? It's in a whole
bunch of different scenes.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Hmm.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
That phone was in an awful lot of different episodes.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
And the nostalgia of it encapsulates so much of the
Podmets World experience. Yes, it's it's an object that doesn't
exist anymore.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, yeah, that is a good curveball. I might go
with facting, I might go with that phone.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
I think I would too.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
All right, So the Matthews Family Phone.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
The Matthews Family Phone, best prop. Congratulations to the Matthews
Family Phone. You were a late addition by one mister Wilfredell.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, nominated on the floor in the middle of the
in the middle of the party. My god.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Better to be remembered late than never at all, you know,
all right. Our next award is for best swing set.
So a swing set is something that you saw for
a very short amount of time one episode and then
never to be seen again. The first one we have
is the roller coaster set, where you know they rode

(18:18):
the roller coaster, Krey and Feenie rode the roller coaster.
Two Chetz trailer. Now that was not Gene once. I
don't know that I could. I mean, it was technically
a swing set because it was only there for a
temporary time, But I don't know that I would count
that as.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
A swing set, as like a reoccurring swing set.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
What do you think, writer, No, I agree, it's it's
it's it was pretty per I mean, it was there
for half a season and then it came back. What
about the trailer park, though, if we count the completely.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Agree with you. Let's replace Chet's trailer with the trailer park.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, like it.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
There's the Mexican restaurant where Sergio and Nunzio work. Nunzio
where to Penga and Angel go get their groove on
with two.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Dancers, the Mexican Chubbies. Let's just call it L Chubby
L Chubby.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
L Chubbies. There's the Lama pen.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, no, I've never just scratched it off the list.
Ever happened the world? One of the worst seats in
the history of It's also just retroactively changed the whole origin.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
No, no, okay, what about inside Poenie's house, which we
only see for the B and b's B and B.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
What about club Club clev.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
We would like hate voted, we would hate giving in
the war just the dumbest set effort.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But it's the location of the tushy dance. How can
we How could you write it off so quickly?

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Some people write off the tushy right away, Danielle.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
There's the ski Lodge, the scene of the infamous kiss
between Corey and Lauren.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Super important.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yes, this is the one important I have to say.
I directed the Girl Meets World episodes that took place
at the ski Lodge, and it was an incredible set
to work in, incredible set to like re experience. Even
though I could barely remember it when I directed in it,
it looks so good. It has probably one of the
most important storylines for a swing set, definitely, and it

(20:33):
just it's evocative. It's great. It's a different vibe. It
doesn't feel like anywhere else on our show. Oh wait,
the other one Phoenix cabin.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, Phoeni's cabin.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
The sign the Eskimo in your own way mm hm sign.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's a weird one though, because do you remember how
it's like we're looking up at it.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, that one didn't didn't play.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
It messed with my head as far as like the
screen direction. So I'm just going to eliminate that for
that reason alone.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
I don't think we're gonna beat Ski Lodge.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
What about the pea soup diner next to the world's
largest yogurt cup.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Oh God, we're phil.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Leads, getting phil leads, phill leads.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's a good sch's got to be. The Ski Lodge
has all the layers. It has the the like the
window seat, it has the couch area that just works
so well for scenes. It has the counter, has stairs,
has the exterior where Tbanga finds the note, but everything
about it, it's a perfect set. It's set, I agree,
and inspired by Michael buying a house and Aspen and
all those.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Skies and all those snow bunnies, all.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Those Yeah, well, for the record, I was just in
Aspen this weekend. All it was was snow bunnies. It's
also very affordable.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I mean, just threw throwing themselves.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
In very much. You never never cease to tell me
how much things cost when we're in Vegas. How much
were the foods and BEVs in Aspen?

Speaker 5 (21:55):
It's not it's it's so asinine that it's not even
worth talking about.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
We got two sandwiches last day there there. It was
ninety five dollars for two sandwiches, two sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Did they come with sides?

Speaker 4 (22:06):
No, No they did not.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Did they come with drinks? Uh?

Speaker 5 (22:10):
They gave us waters because we had to wait almost
an hour to get the two sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Did What kind of sandwiches was it?

Speaker 4 (22:17):
It was one was two other both tuna?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Tuna for ninety five dollars.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, it was, Oh it was it was. It's insane.
It's it's insane. This place absolutely gorgeous and absurdly expensive. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, well, congratulations to the ski Lodge on your feend.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
You lodge one best swing set.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Our next category, biggest WTF moment, Now we've had a
few of them on Boy Meets World.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Just so I get this right, WTF is why the frown.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Why the front moment?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Exactly, gotcha?

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah said okay, okay with you.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
The first WTF moment we'd like to honor is Nobody's Angel.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Do you need to go on with the rest of
the list.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I don't think we do.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Do you seriously need to go on with the rest
of the list, and you just need.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
To think about my face watching.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Experience either Topanga and Sean making out for a college recruitment.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
Video, that to me makes more if you guys were
literally tasked to do porn on the set, that made
more sense than Nobody's Angel.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Also, also, the payoff of underpants is actually funny, like
Corey's bet scene is funny, and Corey freaking out has
funny beats. Nobody's Angel might also be the worst episode
of the show and have incorporated this whole group of
women we didn't need to for no reason.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
No, so when number five on the list is Salem
the cat cameo and I'm like, that makes perfect sense
compared to Nobody's Angel.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Let's tell our dear listeners what the other options are.
With first, we had Nobody's Angel. Two we have Topanga
having a crush on Eric, which does in a way
come back later when you're lifting weights, and I'm like,
oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Plus the girl, the young young girl having a crush
on friend's older brother, like that totally could could totally happen.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
What about the Matthews having a baby who just disappears
after they have the baby. How about Mincus's sci Fi
disappearance or Salem the Cat cameo. I had Topega and
Sean making out for a college recruitment video, singled out
to I mean, I guess at the time it was popular,

(24:47):
so and then ate the other Harley Kiner just arriving.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
But again.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're right, it's Nobody's Angel.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Nobody's Angel.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, because it just does work tonally story wise, like
there's a there's like because all the other ones you
could argue, like sale Mcat it was barring from another show,
right know, Like even Minkus's Sci Fi disappearance was kind
of breaks the rules of reality. It's like eh. And
then when you have stuff like Harley Kiner, like it's
coming from a sad place like it's you know, or

(25:19):
an actor getting replaced, it's like it's just production stuff.
Whereas like Nobody's Angel, everybody made that choice and kept
making it and thought it would be okay, Like an
entire production team and a network approved it.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
And my favorite, I think my favorite slash least favorite
part of it is the idea that they were like, well,
why would these girls care to showcase their talent for
these two And the answer was they're from the big city,
and that was like, great, I buy it. Two young
kids come in from the big city. We got to

(25:54):
show them that we can make it. They're gonna sign
us to a label. It's like in the plates, flimsy
at best.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, Oh, but you're right. Rider's face.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
It's just it might be the most magical moment of
when you can actually see the soul of his body,
you can actually watch it go.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's she almost boops him. All right, Well, we're on
a roll with agreeing that the biggest WTF moment is
Nobody's angel. Congratulations on your feenie. Our next award is
for best unnecessary cameo. Now, wow, let's see we have

(26:34):
one any monkey who was on the show. Now, my
one issue with this being any monkey is reg Reginald
Fairfield is a fantastic character. It's just correct. Yeah, and
it just so happened. He was a member of the Monkeys.

(26:54):
Davy Jones played him. But like Red, Reginald Fairfield alone is.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Also the monkey thing. It goes so far that it
becomes funny again, do you know.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
What I mean?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's a Oh the fact that we've had all the
monkeys on three different episodes over the It's like at
that point you're just like, what is the deal. That's
too funny, it's too weird. Okay, okay, it's like it
feels like it feels like anti boy meets World. Yeah,
you know, to call them unnecessary, they're actually part of
the the part of the lore.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, yeah, Phyllis Diller, who played the psychic.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's pretty unnecessary.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
It's unnecessary, but it's it's brilliant stunt casting.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I mean that is true, the good stunt casting. Unnecessary.
But if you're gonna have a character that's going to
tell the future, might as well make it a genius like.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Phyllistellar agreed, right, agreed.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Soupy Sales and Buddy Hackett.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
There's nothing unnecessary about this.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
You're absolutely. I couldn't agree with you more. They weren't part.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
They had two old, good, old timey comedians playing mob
bosses in the best. No, No, this.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Is agreed necessary at all.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
That was a premature ejaculation, Buddy Buddy kids.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Having Chris Hardwick but not Jenny McCarthy. You first singled out.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Makes sense, so you gotta you got your We're going
to singled out its supposed to be MTV get the
actual host, Like, it makes sense that he's there.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
We have any of Michael's kids just anytime. Yeah, a
Jacob's child was on screen. Was it unnecessary?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Of course?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Melissa Joan Hart in the TGI Family Wizard episode exactly,
it makes sense, it makes it makes more sense than
some of the others on the list.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I think, Tom Bosley, this one's pretty bad. And then
yeas me and Blief, I think.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I mean it's she's just there to kiss Adam Scott.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
She wasn't there at all.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I mean, that's really unnecessary. And and also the crossover
of Boyne's World fans with Baywatch, like I know what
was going on there? I don't. The other one who
who was in the nineteen fifties episodes, who were the
two guys that show up in the.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Kitchen oh antson? Was Anson Williams. And that's got.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
To get on the list too, because we couldn't even
say who they were, right, we had to like and
it was like they're somehow related to Corey but not
and I don't know. That was really weird, and the
nineteen fifties episode did not need it.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
But right, but it's an episode that takes place in
the fifties, so they brought on sitcom actors from a
fifties show.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Then yas mean Bleeth is the one.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
I would agree, yas me and Bleeth.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
And was it Wayne Newton who was singing? No, Richard Gulay,
Robert Robert Gulay, Robert Gulay.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh wait a second, wait a second, we forgot about
who we didn't even remember was on the episode Live
Styles of the Rich and Famous.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Robin Leach.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Was he not in it? No?

Speaker 2 (29:57):
He remember? He does?

Speaker 5 (29:58):
He shows up at the door and we were all like, wait,
Robin Leech was in this episode, but none of us remembered.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Forgot it again.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
That's why.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
That's why it's like the most it was the affects
the scene correct and literally has nothing to do there
except to get a woman in a bikini ringside.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
That was somewhat famous from another show. Somebody just wanted
to meet her. She's the most unnecessary, It's like, and
it doesn't change the episode. I don't think any boy
meets World fan cared. I don't know anybody remembers. She
doesn't remember doing it. That is the ultimate exit. It's
like I mean, I think Michael's kids are like, obviously
it's unnecessary, but you can also kind of be like, right,
he was the creator of the show, let's give him

(30:39):
put his kids on, like and it was part of
a family show. Whatever. But yas Me Bleef is like
a crass, unnecessary thing.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Okay, you've got five bucks and you've got to put
it down on a writer's name who just wanted to
meet Yasmine Bleef.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Where does your money go?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
One? Two, three blood?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Absolutely, Mark Blutman, we know that's exactly what was. We
didn't even ever talk about it, right.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Congratulations to Yasmine Bleath for winning a Feoenie for Best
unnecessary Cameo. It's not a problem that you don't remember
being on the show. You've just won an award anyway.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
She shares that award with Mark Bluman. By the way, she.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Has to go on a date with him in order
to drop it off and pick it up.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
She won't remember it.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
It's fun. Moving on to our next category is best
character who deserved more Read read through these for you

(31:52):
Number one. Marisol Nichols as Kelly, Tony Quinn as Mister Turner,
Alex Decer as Eli Williams, Darlene Vogel as Kat Tompkins, JB.
Gaynor as Tommy, Trina McGee as Angela, and Linda Cardellini
as Lauren.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
I feel like we could do an entire podcast episode
just on this question, just on this list. I agree,
because there's so many different variables to this. Tony had
more to do and was given a shot, but was
done horribly dirty.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
They did nothing for Alex whatsoever. Yep, so was he
worse off than Turner? Because we all knew there's so
many different ways to go with this.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
I know, I know it's hard to It's hard because
each person really deserves their own Feenie for different reasons. Yes,
I am. I am gonna go. Oh my gosh, it's
really difficult. I feel like I can take off Darlene
Vogel as Cat Tompkins.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I feel like I could also take off Marisol Nichols
as Kelly.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yep, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Would add to that.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
I think you could take off JB. Gaynor's Tommy.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Okay, agreed. Jab Gaynor is Tommy and Linda Cardellini is Lauren.
She was given a great character.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
She got a great character. She has one of the
most memorable arcs and boy mets World History. So yes,
her character could have like Lauren probably should have dated
Core like in the in the like rewrite history, you know.
But as far as like having a character that comes
on and does a part, a big part of the show,
she was great, you know. So it's really I think
it comes down to how much do we think Trina

(33:27):
got screwed over a lot and how much did Turner
get screwed over? How much did Ali? I mean Alex
days there, Like I I just don't think he should
have even been there, which is kind of a different thing,
do you know what I mean? Like whereas like you
introduced the character mister Turney and you introduced the character
of Angela, you got to see that through. So I

(33:48):
feel like, for me, it's one of those two either
one of those characters, you know, and interesting they're both
Sean relationships. But that's what I'm.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Saying is then that's what I mean by how we
could discuss this forever, because then couldn't you just by
what you said, d argue that then it is Alex
that deserved more because they didn't introduce him well, they
just left him out to dry.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
The entire time he was there and then he was
just gone.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
But part of the award is for best Character who
deserved more. And as far as character development, we know
absolutely nothing about Eli Williams.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
So character you can't even think about him deserving more
because what would that mean, Like.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
It we were talking about actor, because say, yeah, he
deserved more than a season. He deserved development, He deserved this.
But like the character we were given and like given
enough to know, oh, this is a great character and
then just kind of hung out to dry.

Speaker 5 (34:46):
Then it has to be Tony. It has to be
mister Turner. They have this whole thing with Sean. He's
going to be huge on the show. They're going to
move in together. Next thing you know, he's in a
coma and then you never see him again. It was like, yeah, done,
really dirty.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
And it was was it only one season?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
What do you mean Tony?

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Tony?

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Tony was on two, three and then half a four, right,
and so it was halfway through four they were like
you're done now and that was it.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah. I mean really, between Tony and Trina, I do
think the way Trina's character between the way Angela and
Sean's relationship was hung out to dry. But I could
say the exact same thing with Turner and Sean.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
We didn't like how they ended the relationship with Sean
and and and Angela Antelas. But they ended the relationship
with Yeah, and they didn't do any of that with Tony.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
They just got rid of a super important.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Character and then Sewan never references him.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
Again until they make a joke about him that he wasn't.
Oh hey, mister Turner and he and he walks away.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Can we give two phoenees for this one?

Speaker 4 (35:50):
I mean, yeah, I feel like.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
We could give one to Turner and one to Angela.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Oh. We also did not even bring up Mincus. I know,
Oh yeah, jeez, I guess he had a whole season.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
So but then so did Trina and so did Tony
to yeah, multiple seasons, Mincus in this case only ad
one season.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Okay, wait, all right, let me let me ask you.
Let me ask you a question. Forget.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Forget the second half of the of the question, just
the first half between mister Turner, Angela, and Mincus. Who
do you think was the best character?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Mincus?

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Mincus Mancus, I would agree and gets disappeared at the end.
Of season one. Yeah, because we agree they all deserve more.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
Of course, so then it's just who's the best character,
and I think it was MICUs.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Congratulations on your Feenie Mincus best character, who deserved more.
The funniest joke is gonna be a tough one. He
will always be this tall salary poster. Yes, so I
said to myself, Kyle, great one, Corey being afraid of clowns,
Eric singing for he's a jolly goodfellow while the dorm
room is on fire.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
They want you to take the rolls legendary because our
kids would look like horses and layze with squirrels.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
I have a couple additions to this too.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Go uh, I'll get as sick as you can actually
get without without dying. Yes, great, Yeah, brilliant joke and
from season seven, and it's one of my favorites.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Rory Rerick.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Oh yeah, that's what we talked about recently. Yeah, yeah,
there was one. I was like, we just said it recently.
That was so funny, Rory.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
And also, I'm sorry Rider, but if you're just doing
a visual joke, like we have the salary to Panga's
soup or bowl is pretty great too.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Oh my god, it's so good. The other one I
was going to throw out there, but I think a
pales in comparison to the ones you were mentioning. Is
don't move, maybe he doesn't see us.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Great joke, great joke.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, I feel like there's some from affair to forget
too that we're forgetting.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Oh yeah, I can't.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
But it's also how you're saying it, like, because it's
it might not be a joke, but even just the
way you say his name and you're like Cory exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
That's what the first thing I thought of too, That
cinnamon rule was for me, wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
I mean, like, it's so it's it's not a joke,
but it's a perfect joke.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
So yeah, I mean I think the first.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Two or I think Celery Poster he will.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Always be this tall, or will always remember that he
was this tall. Yep.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
I'm married a moose is a pretty great joke too, Yep.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah for me. For me, the simplicity of it, the
fact that you don't need a whole lot of other
things to explain it. It doesn't have to. It's just straightforward.
We'll always remember he was this tall.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Is just it's such a smart joke too.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
It's such a smart and it's such a hard and
sharp laugh after a moment and where on a kid's show,
you've just killed murder kid. Yeah, that like the only
thing that's going to work. There is something that sharp
and it just plays.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
It's just I don't disagree with that.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
The only the only argument I would make is how
understated and brilliant Celery is.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Right, the fact that Celery is not a hard laugh,
it's a character laugh. Ye, It's like it's a visual joke,
character laugh that only works because you know who Corey
is and what he's saying in that moment, and it's
like you almost kind of need at least a season
of knowing this character before. That's a funny joke. So
that makes me think it's great. But exactly like you're
saying that, we will always remember that he was this tall.

(39:42):
It's such a good, hard joke. It's because it subverts
what you've just seen so brilliantly. It's perfect and it's
so sophisticated. Oh, they're so good.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
I don't know, I'm gonna I'll throw I'll say I think,
I think it's he'll always be this tall.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
For me, it's just it's such a good joke.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
It is such a marginballe as episode for us.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
And yep, I think there's a couple in that episode
that could.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Have been because a sick one. I would say, yeah, yeah,
let's do it all right. We'll always remember he was
this tall.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Congratulations for the funniest joke getting a feenie. He will
always remember he was this tall. Our next category is
best Romp. The categories or the nominees are, I was
a teenage spy as time goes by the Witches of Penbrook,
And in case I don't see you, B and B's Airbnb.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
On which one is? And in case I don't see you,
I don't remember.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
Oh god, I think in case I don't see you
is isn't that from Truman Show?

Speaker 4 (40:36):
And in case I don't see it?

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did not like the episode.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
No no.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
And then there was Sean I mean Thrilla in Phila
and Train of Fools.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Train of Fools is that the.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
New Year's Eve where we're all stuck on the subway
for there is no doubt the best romp for me
is And then there was Sean.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah, I mean, once you put that on this list,
it's it's.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Like, if that goes on this list as being.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Because it's potentially the best episode of the show, but
it's definitely a romp.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
So yeah, I would have to say, though, if that
wasn't on the list, I think B and B's B
and B is a real contender for best.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Romp, I know, but it's also a contender for best episode.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with you, but I think
it's got to it's on the list.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
It's insane, it's the most unhinged, and it works perfectly
because there's weird parts about I was a teenage spy and.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
We were like, oh, could have done about this? And
then it's a romp, but like we have some romps
that are classics.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Yes, I agree, all right.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
And then there was Sean, You've just won your first
Phoenie for all I know, you could win another Phoenie
in this in this, yeah, you can run away with
this one. Next up we have best Duo. Oh, this

(42:07):
is gonna be a toughie. First up, Sean and Angela,
Sean and Turner, Corey and Tapangda, Feenie and Corey, Corey
and Lauren, Feenie and Dean Bolander, Amy and Alan, Corey
and Sean and Feenie and Eric. Yeah, so many Phoenies.

(42:28):
Phoenie's carried up with everybody, I think.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I think that's why it's got to be a Phoenie.
I mean, personally, I have a weird thought. I mean,
I'm the one who suggested Phoeni and Eric because it
wasn't originally on this list. I think they don't occupy
as much story time, they don't occupy as much screen time.
But if you think about the polar like the tonal

(42:51):
opposites that make up Boy Meets World, the humor, the earnestness,
the seriousness, the life lessons, Feenie and Eric embody that
more than almost any other duo. M I don't know.
That's my argument for them.

Speaker 5 (43:07):
I not to throw myself out there, but I agree.
I think because it was also wasn't supposed to work.
The idea of Feenie and Eric being together was never
fell locked about anywhere, yep, and they moved everyone else around,
like Corey and Sean became Corey and Topanga, which then
became Sean and Angelo. I mean everybody kind of. But
Eric never really had anybody but Feoenie. I mean, they

(43:28):
tried to bring in Jack, but it never really worked.
He always kind of ran back to feeni And I
think there was something very special about Feenie and Eric's
relationship throughout the year.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Yeah, I can. I see all those points. I would
still also make the argument that if Boy Meets World
is a show about figuring out life with the people
that matter most to you by your side, no duo
represents that more than Corey and Sean who you know.
I mean, Boy Meets World is a show most people

(43:58):
think of as being a show about Corey into Panga,
and yet after watching all seven seasons of it, it
is a friendship show. I mean, they're the importance placed
on friendships and the people around you and how you
influence each other. It's it's you know, it's really about that.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
But the last like two seasons, once they started making
a Krey inta Panga, they I know, really wasn't Corey
and Shawn anymore. That's why we love the episodes where
they brought them back together again. We're like, oh my god,
a Korey and Sean episode.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
Finally. Yeah, but this is about.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
The best duo. This isn't about the most important or
that this is And I think we all agree that
Kory to Banga were so problematic and did not Actually,
it's like I still love a lot of episodes, a
lot of those moments, but overall, like I just can't
see the show. I just that's not the best part
of the show for me.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh no, I was saying Korey and Sean, not Corey
and Tapanga.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just I'm just going through that
even though they took up there what people think of
as the show.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah, and I think I the only two for me,
I would say, are are are possible? Are Kreyan Sean
and Feenie and Eric. And hearing everything you guys are saying,
I am on board to choose once and for all,
Feenie and Eric. Let's do it to win a Feenie
for Best Duo.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I wasn't expecting this. Really sweet. I don't know what
to say.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
No, No, we're not doing speeches, ohim. We have best
Guest Star Female, which means they did a minimum of
two episodes. We have Britney Murphy as Triiny, Scherene Mitchell
as Verna Hunter, Jennifer Campbell as Lonnie Bowden, Linda Cardellini
as Lauren, Christianna Locan as Jennifer Bassett, Bonnie Bartlett as

(45:38):
Dean Bolander, and Darlene Vogel as Cat I.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
Personally, yep, I don't see how this does not come
down to Linda Cardelini and Britney Murphy.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yep, totally, And I don't really see a world in
which it's not Linda Cardelini.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
I go, all right with you, there we go, Yeah, Yeah,
she just stole. She st Corey and stole our hearts.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
She didnbelievable. She she came in and made what should
have been an automatically unlikable character. You you ended up
having mixed feelings. Which if you can make somebody you
know who's about ready to kiss, someone who's taken even
remotely relatable or likable, you have really created an incredible character.

(46:25):
And that's entirely because of her. It's not about even writing,
it's about her and who she was and how she
played it. Linda Cardelini, you just won an award, a
Feenie for Best Guest Star Female.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Do you think there's any world that they had a
conversation about bringing Linda Ann as a regular.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I think we talked about that when we did the episodes,
and I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
I think they had to get it, they had to
get her out.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Yeah, I don't think they wanted anything to really shake
up the foundation of Cory and Tapanga that much, and
bringing her in would have definitely done that. There would
have been no way to hide the fact that they
should have been together and not Cory and Topanga.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
She could have ended up with Ricky like she deserves
to be left.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
There's snow.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
Bunny said she is the best guest star male minimum
of two episodes.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
We have Jason Marsden as Jason Marsden, Willie Garson who
played I think three different characters, two characters, three different
characters are three different characters, Jonathan Jackson as Ricky First.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
I'm just sted to be nominated.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Vader as Frankie Senior, Adam Scott as Griff, Julius Carrey
as Sergeant Moore, and Barroccoli lover Phil leads.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Are we.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
So we're sticking with guest star right, That's why like
Blake and Yeah, they're not on this list because they.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
We don't consider them guest stars.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
They're party cast, correct, it's too hard to put. I mean,
imagine them up there and trying to cheat.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
Now they and everybody they're they're in a whole different Yeah,
I agree.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Okay, this is tough.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
This is tough.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
I mean it's hard not to look at what everything
Adam's done in his career and factor that into Adam
being Adam. I know, that's really tough because he was
awesome stepping into an incredibly difficult situation where he knows
he's not replacing somebody, he's starting a whole new character,
but with bullies that are already established on a show

(48:25):
that's already established, with Ryder Strong who wants to push
him away and hates him. There's a lot going on
in the set at the time for Adam person. And
again just throwing it out there too because I love
him so much. Julius Carey was great, I know, as
Sergeant Moore. I mean, he has such a presence. You

(48:45):
can't not stare at this man every time he's on screen.
This is tough less to do though, Julius.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
I feel like Julius was, you know, and it's not
his fault, it's the right aim. That's it's by the
second Angela, like the second episodisode where he's I don't know,
but I don't disagree. I feel like Adam had more
nuance and ability to be you know. But yeah, I
mean also like, this is a hard one.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
I don't know, I know, I know, this one's really tough.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Also, Jason Marsden in those first few seasons where Jason
Marsden was the only friend Eric had.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
He was good. He was really good.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Part of the reason we get to know who Eric
is as a character is because he has the Jason Marsden.

Speaker 5 (49:32):
Yeah friend, Yeah, it's true, but Jason is He was
very good, and you're right, he was kind of Eric's
only real lifeline at the beginning.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yes, hold on, here's somebody who's not on this list
who I think maybe should be, which is Blake Clark.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Oh well, I mean Blake in.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
This list because Blake is like in the same a
little bit in the same category as the bullies, but
not quite because how many episodes did Blake do?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Let's do it. Let's put it this way. Who had
a recurring contract? Like and actually, like you're getting paid
to be in a certain amount of produced episodes.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
The bullies.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
The bullies did Blake never did.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Okay, well then he'd have to, I mean.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
For sure, Okay, couldn't agree with you more. Didn't have
a contract to be a part you know, wasn't guaranteed.
Thirteen out of twenty didn't have any of that.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
No, it was week to week and and stole it
every single time. Yeah, you know, and you know, ripped
everybody's hearts out when he died, like yes, just and
and I mean think about from where he started with
that speech in front of the class. Yeah, just hysterical.
This guy. You're never going to take seriously to where
he ended and you know, dying and like ripping our

(50:44):
hearts out.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
No, great call, great call.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Congratulations Blake Clark. You just won a Feenie for Best
Guest Star nominated and now our big two. This is
our version of best record and Best Song? Best Season?
Is it one? Is it two, three, four.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
Five, seven, D seven? Final answer?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I mean it's season four or five?

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (51:21):
And I seem to remember I did not go back
and rewatch the entire seasons, but I seem to remember
feeling like Season four through the entirety of it was
hit after hit after hit. Season five had maybe some
hits that may have even superseded the hits of season four,
but it was more hit and miss.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:43):
I would also throw in and I got I think
it is going to be either four or five, but
I think.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
One is a real contender too. After having watched the
show again, I.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Know season one is pretty great, but it does feel
like a different boy meets.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
One, a completely different show, completely different show.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
I'm going with four I would vote for.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
I would think I am too. Yeah, Okay, I think
I am too.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
You know what, I thought we were gonna have to
duke it out. We didn't. Season four. Congratulations, you just
won a Foenie for best Season number one. You're in
contention with four and five. But all right, the best
episode is it Corey's Alternative Friends? Is it? And then
there was Sean A Long Walk to Pittsburgh, Cult Fiction,

(52:25):
B and B's B and B Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow,
Chick Like Me, Brotherly Shove, Heartbreak, Corey, City Slackers, and
a Fair to Forget Eric Hollywood or The Fugitive God.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
There's so many good ones on that list. I mean,
I know what, I think I have two?

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Okay again, wrapping in for what Boy Meets World is,
how much fun it is and the amount of fun
we had on the set, it's gonna be tough for
anything to beat.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
And then there were sewn Yep, it was great. That
being said chorus alternative friends is hugely important when it
comes to Boy Meets World lore.

Speaker 5 (53:04):
But if we're looking at best episode all the way
around air today, Goon Tomorrow was perfectly balanced. I agree,
perfectly balanced. The A story was exceptional, the B story
was exceptional. It hit on all cylinders. So if and
then there was Sean is not on this list, to me,
you're hard pressed to beat here.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Let me ask you this though, if you if nobody,
if somebody had.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Never seen for him It's world exactly.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
And then there were Sean would not be what you
need show them because it's two unhinged, right, So that's
kind of it's got to be one that has the
balance of funny and heart and I think you know,
but there are more.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
I mean also, you're going to talk about strength of
the core four in that like talking about somebody who's
never seen Boy Meets World, you give them that episode
with that strong of a B story for Eric, if
you can even call it a B story, but it is.
It's the B story in episode that you know exactly
who that character is. Cory is exactly the Cory you

(54:06):
want him to be. In Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow, you
understand the world through Cory's eyes and then his cool
best friend, and how his best friend helps the people
around him, like you know exactly who Sean is, and
then to see Tapanga start off as being this person
full of confidence and then to see her get shaken.
As far as the core four of us.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
It's perfect.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
It's perfect for all of our characters.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
Yeah, it's perfect. It really is. It really is.

Speaker 5 (54:34):
I would say we're talking about Boymet's world. Mm hmm,
Hair Today, Gun Tomorrow. There's almost no Feenie.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I know that's true. It's exactly which is which is
big for boy He does he does have a speech
to Tapanga, though I was trying to think, doesn't he
say something about like you've always been someone who Yeah,
like I feel like he has a moment with her
where he gives some of his sage advice or assessment
of the situation.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I also loved Brotherly Shove, you know, I I thought
that's one of the best one of the best episodes.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
That's with Brotherly Shove is where Corey you guys go
skydie Man? Right?

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Yeah, yeah, great episode, great episode.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
All right, well, I think what we all are pretty
stoked on hair Today going tomorrow. Yeah, I think I
think Sean seen some of the best of Pangas scenes.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
You're not on this list without being an incredible episode. Yeah,
so already we know these are some of the you know,
cult fiction.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
I'm not sure that's I like cult fiction.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
And it was also super important to the Boy Meets
World lore. People loved that episode.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Yeah. The the fact that Sean is so only embraced
by the map views right and Feenie, that everyone's will
everyone's willing to go to blows.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Yeah. Good adults, really good adults in cult fiction.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Yeah, Writer would disagree about the Alan Matthews port. I
know you love it. Writer doesn't like it. I'm on
the fence and I see both sides.
