TGI – Episode 319 “I Was a Teenage Spy”

Oh boy! Get ready for quite a recap as the gang tackles their first ever Boy Meets World time travel episode. It’s a fever dream of surreal insanity as Cory electrocutes himself back to the ‘50s and finally embraces the show’s Happy Days / Grease roots. 
 
Can Rider see past his perfect hair to embrace the chaos? Will the trio figure out exactly who is, and isn’t, part of this dimension’s Matthews family? And what’s up with Topanga’s hunger for love?
 
And we hear the story of how Mr. Miyagi ended up in a cameo after the episode was already wrapped! Get ready to do The Twist and have a fake Russian accent on the newest Pod Meets World…

Pod Meets Sailing with the Stars

It was casually mentioned on the podcast that Rider has some past trauma associated with cruises, and now it’s finally time to find out why.
 
We hear the tale of the high seas when a 16-year-old Rider Strong took part in the “Sail with the Stars” cruise, with handfuls of other teen heartthrobs, but it wasn’t quite the enchanted voyage he had hoped for.
 
But on the other hand, a 14-year-old Danielle was ALSO onboard this Teen Beat cruise ship and had a much different experience joining her ideal “fancy cult.” Dancing with hot guys and a buffet? Sign her up!

These are the stories you can only hear from your very own port of call on Pod Meets World!

A new leather jacket gang has entered the BMW universe, and this one might have their sights set on killing Mr. Feeny! But whatever it takes to get a Bill Daniels focused episode is fine with us.

Adam Duritz Meets World

We love Mr. Feeny, but now it’s time for Mr. Jones! Rider helped Will and Danielle become Counting Crows superfans back in the day, and now lead singer Adam Duritz, an important musician even in Shawn Hunter’s life, hangs out with the gang 30 years later. 
 
Adam shares unbelievable stories from his life as a rock star, from writing his first song to partying & eating ribs with Rider and Danielle to what REALLY happened during their iconic SNL performance.
 
All that AND we find out how that Adam hasn’t even met most of his storied dating history – in what can only be described as the most “stroftibrite” episode of Pod Meets World yet…

The gang navigates through some plot holes and missed opportunities as season 3 progresses, and Shawn’s continued role as the true A story of the show takes center stage.

n

We meet more of Shawn’s family, who may or may not live in a swingers trailer park, and Eric wants to trash into gold.

n

All this – and Rider reveals the truth about the Shawn leather jacket 2.0, with proof that you don’t choose the jacket…the jacket chooses you!

Attorney Gary Friedle Meets World

Consider this an official subpoena to join Danielle, Will and Rider in the court of Pod Meets World, with representation from Attorney (and Will’s dad) Gary Friedle!
 
The Parent Series concludes with the Captain’s real reaction to Will breaking away from the family business and his on-the-record memories of calling Will’s agent in fear Eric was being written off the show.
 
But Danielle and Rider are ready for a fierce cross examination, and evidence is uncovered from a moment when Gary thought he totally sabotaged Will’s career. And you’ll never believe the show Will was *almost* on!
