Episode Overview

In this joyful, nostalgia-fueled episode, Danielle, Will, and Ryder prepare for the seventh and final season of their Boy Meets World rewatch by taking inspiration from high school yearbooks: they hand out “superlatives” to the show’s memorable cast of characters. Borrowing an idea from How Rude Tanneritos (Full House podcast), each host nominates Boy Meets World characters for classic categories (Class Clown, Best Dressed, etc.), with only one character allowed per category per host. Along the way, the conversation is filled with playful banter, behind-the-scenes stories, hot takes, and debate over what truly makes someone the “best” in each category.

  • “I feel like... in both cases, you have somebody with authority still going too far.” (40:57, Ryder)
• Danielle: TK (now open due to a change in Best Dressed pick; imagines she’d get caught for theft or racketeering)
  • “I think some of that stuff’s blackmail, bribery. I think she’s going to jail for something like that.” (41:45, Danielle)

Most Likely to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse (42:10–44:05)

• Will: The paranoid trailer park guy (“the guy at the trailer park...that guy is going to survive a zombie apocalypse”)

[Host of High Key Podcast (possibly one of the High Key hosts)]

Listen to High Key, a new weekly podcast. You better listen. Speaking of tanning, I was sunning my nether regions because I read that you're supposed to like get sun not only in Your mouth, but. But also in your other orifices. Wait, are you talking about you put your hole into the sun? I did. That's crazy. Downward dog mooning the sun. I was gonna say. Is it cheeks open?

[Ryder Strong]

It's cheeks open all the way wide.

[Host of High Key Podcast (possibly one of the High Key hosts)]

Is it cheeks open?

[Ryder Strong]

Uh huh.

[Host of High Key Podcast (possibly one of the High Key hosts)]

Who's holding them? Enough of that nonsense now. Listen to High key on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your pod.

[Ryder Strong]

You guys ever lied and said you read a book that you never read?

[Will Friedle]

You just described high school for me.

[Ryder Strong]

Did you ever go back and read the ones that you were supposed to have read?

[Will Friedle]

I did.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. That's what happens, right? You feel so guilty. The only time I ever did this, the reason I was thinking about this is cause I did a book event with my friend Ivy Pagoda. And before I was hosting the event and her book, I got an advance copy and I was cramming to read it so I could talk to her. But then she did another event with my other friend Todd Goldberg, who I did literary disco with and he hosted her and hadn't finished her book. But he was so good at it and nobody cared and he reads everything. He reads so much. She understood and it was fine. But it reminded, like, this is my biggest fear. And it goes back to like the one time in college when I had to give a presentation on Faulkner's the Sound and the Fury. And we were working on the show at the time. I don't know what happened. I didn't finish it and I had to get up and give like 5 to 10 minute lecture on this book. And it was like the only time I bought Cliff Notes and crammed and I think I felt so bad. And it turned out it made me the biggest Faulkner fan because then I was like, I have to read this book. And now I've read everything the guy has ever written. Because it was like the guilt was just so. Now I just make it a rule. I never lie. I just admit, like I, you know, because there's so many books that people, or even movies that people have seen that you're supposed to know or see. Now I'm just like, nope, nope. I, you know, to the extent that I've even found myself admitting I haven't seen something, when I in the conversation, then I realize, oh, I have seen that or I have read that. But I'm like, you know what? It's not even worth it. I'll just let them tell me about it and I'll just keep pretending I haven't Read it because that's easier for this conversation.

[Danielle Fishel]

God, now you lie in the reverse. I've never read anything. You just tell me. You're just telling me about it.

[Ryder Strong]

Well, you know, I actually find that's more helpful sometimes, because if I didn't like it and they're telling me how great it was, I'm like, oh, I'll just let you sell me on this thing that I would rather hear your thoughts on anyway and have a conversation than tell you that.

[Will Friedle]

I mean, that's better than. So my parents and I used to go to the movies all the time. It was one of our things. And several times we would sit down, the movie would start, and my mom would lean over and go, oh, we've seen this. It's terrible. And I'm like, we're in the movie theater. When did you go to the theater without me? Like, my parents were sneaking away to go to movies with each other.

[Danielle Fishel]

I like that. But how long had the movie been in the theater? Actually forgotten. They had already seen it in the theater.

[Ryder Strong]

They used to do that, though. I mean, think about it. Movies would stay in the theater for like, six months.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, my gosh.

[Will Friedle]

So that was. That was a. That was a regular occurrence in our families. My parents had already seen the movie. It was bad. And we're in the theater again.

[Danielle Fishel]

I have the long term memory of a puppy. And so I there any book I've read or any movie I've seen, pretty much immediately after I've read it or seen it, I don't remember anything about it. It just is like, that was a wonderful experience, or I hated that experience, whatever. And then I immediately dump it to make room for something new. And so anytime someone's talking to me about something, my first reaction is usually, no, I've never seen that. And then I'll usually realize partway through, oh, no, you know what? I have seen that. Shocker. Of all shockers, I have seen that one.

[Will Friedle]

Can I ask you a question?

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Are puppies known for having bad long term memory?

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't know. Goldfish. Goldfish. I couldn't think of anything.

[Ryder Strong]

Goldfish have no memory.

[Will Friedle]

So that's actually been proven to not be true.

[Ryder Strong]

Okay, it is.

[Will Friedle]

They did it on Mythbusters.

[Host of High Key Podcast (possibly one of the High Key hosts)]

They put a.

[Will Friedle]

Put a maze together, and days later, the fish could go through the maze to get the food. At the end, they remembered where the maze was. Okay, so the idea that they forgot everything, I was just curious if that's like, man, I got the memory of a puppy. Like, if that was a saying I didn't know. It's certainly possible.

[Danielle Fishel]

Listen.

[Will Friedle]

I'm doing 92 jobs right now. Give me a break.

[Danielle Fishel]

I can't wait to get all of the. Actually, that story Will told about the goldfish isn't true. Emails.

[Will Friedle]

Send them to.

[Ryder Strong]

I think the difference between procedural memory. There's all different types of memory so they could remember it.

[Will Friedle]

Did you just say that?

[Danielle Fishel]

Maybe I need to say I have the long term memory of Nemo.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, there you go.

[Danielle Fishel]

See, that works. That's what.

[Will Friedle]

Wait, no. Dory.

[Ryder Strong]

Dory.

[Will Friedle]

She literally didn't even remember which fish had the bad memory.

[Danielle Fishel]

I told you, I don't remember movies.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, that's magical. You couldn't even remember the fish with a bad memory.

[Ryder Strong]

That's kind of delightful. You can enjoy the movie, start to finish, all over again, just like every time. That's why you keep watching Titanic. You're stuck in the 90s. You just keep. You don't need new movies.

[Danielle Fishel]

You never remember how it ends.

[Ryder Strong]

Air Force One is still amazing. It's a new movie ever.

[Danielle Fishel]

Best movie ever.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, God, that's so funny.

[Danielle Fishel]

The Titanic sinks.

[Will Friedle]

What?

[Ryder Strong]

I know. What? Well, at least you don't have a.

[Will Friedle]

Job where remembering stuff from the past is important.

[Danielle Fishel]

Exactly. Thankfully, it doesn't mean anything to my life.

[Ryder Strong]

You played Topanga.

[Danielle Fishel]

I've never forgotten that. Welcome to Podmeats World. I'm Danielle Fishel.

[Ryder Strong]

I'm Ryder Strong.

[Will Friedle]

And I'm Will Friedle.

[Danielle Fishel]

Anyone else ever get that nagging feeling your dog is bored? Like, my brunchie just stares at me sometimes with that really again? Look, and I instantly feel guilty.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, same here. Sammy has mastered the art of the disappointed sigh. Like she has bills. So mealtime needs to be more than just a pit stop. It needs to be an event.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's why we're obsessed with Nom Nom. They make gently cooked recipes that actually engage your pup's senses. We're talking tantalizing smells, textures, and vibrant ingredients.

[Will Friedle]

And Nom Nom offers six delicious and unique pork potluck, chicken cuisine, turkey fare, beef mash, lamb pilaf, and turkey and chicken cookout.

[Danielle Fishel]

These recipes are crafted by vet nutritionists with premium proteins and vibrant veggies cooked in small batches to lock in nutrients. Meat looks like meat. Veggies look like veggies. So I feel good knowing it's designed with my dog's health and happiness in mind.

[Will Friedle]

You can serve Nom Nom as your dog's complete meal or as a topper to spice up their current diet. Cause honestly, would you want to eat the same thing every single day?

[Danielle Fishel]

No thanks. And look, our dog is our little prince, which is why I'm committed to giving him the best. I serve Nom Nom and you should too.

[Will Friedle]

Keep mealtime exciting with Nom Nom Available at your local Pet Smart store or at Chewy.

Listen to High Key, a new weekly podcast. You better listen. That's literally the definition of being an Aries moon. Just one little spicy off comment. That's all it takes.

[Danielle Fishel]

With just one season left of Boy Meets World to recap, it is only natural that we start to look back on our journey. We would joke that we'd finished the series in a decade or so, but here we are eyeing the beginning of the end. And so we wanted to have a special episode today to begin the process of creating a yearbook for POD Meets World. Something where we can easily remember characters as big as Minkus or as small as the girl who dressed as a showgirl for Career Day. And so we welcome an idea that our friends at How Rude Tanneritos did for Full House. It's time to hand out our Boy Meets World end of the year superlatives. With our six seasons of knowledge. It feels like we have all the info we'll need for this. So just like our listeners did for their high schools, we will tackle categories and then we can talk out which Boy Meets World character deserves to take them home. The entire gamut is available to us. Anyone we have talked about on the show can be chosen. Does this make sense to either of you?

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, kind of. Yes. But. But it's only. You can only use them once, right?

[Danielle Fishel]

Correct.

[Will Friedle]

Yikes.

[Danielle Fishel]

So once you give out a best dressed, you can't give somebody else a best dressed. So it's just only can be used once. So for the hard part, each superlative gets one winner. But no character can repeat. So you better choose wisely.

[Ryder Strong]

Wait, Can. Do we all have to agree or do we.

[Danielle Fishel]

No, we can each.

[Ryder Strong]

We're coming up with three sets of superlatives.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. Or if we agree, we can agree too. We just, you know, like, is Topanga going to be Best Hair or Most Likely to Succeed?

[Will Friedle]

I don't agree with that.

[Danielle Fishel]

Worth noting.

[Will Friedle]

I don't. We'll get into that. But I don't. Wow.

[Danielle Fishel]

I am the 1999 Calabasas High School recipient of Best hair.

[Ryder Strong]

Are you really?

[Danielle Fishel]

I really am. Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

Wow.

[Will Friedle]

That's. I was.

[Danielle Fishel]

Did you win Best Smoker?

[Will Friedle]

No, because there were way better smokers than Me? In my school? Yeah, I was. No, I was eighth grade. Because I didn't in high school. I hated high school, so I was.

[Danielle Fishel]

You didn't participate?

[Will Friedle]

No. But eighth grade, I got Most theatrical.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, writer. I assume all five students in your graduating class got the same award. Best stud.

[Will Friedle]

Best Smelter.

[Danielle Fishel]

Most likely to make a grappling hook.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Most likely to Granola.

[Ryder Strong]

You did get awards. Every year. You know, everybody got awards, and they were all specific to that person, but.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, you don't remember any of yours?

[Ryder Strong]

Let's see. I got an award for something about writing because I got a little, like, about my poems. And then I was valedictorian, which, you know, not a huge accomplishment. Class of 12.

[Danielle Fishel]

But it still is.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah, yeah. So I can't remember the other ones, but. Yeah, but we didn't have superlatives. We did have a yearbook. Everybody got a page of the yearbook that they got to put whatever they had.

[Danielle Fishel]

A 12 page yearbook.

[Will Friedle]

A 12 page yearbook.

[Ryder Strong]

Well, but for the whole school, which was 50. Oh, that's pretty good. That's not too bad.

[Danielle Fishel]

All right, all right, all right.

[Ryder Strong]

I see. All right, all right, all right.

[Danielle Fishel]

Superlative.

[Ryder Strong]

For most interesting, school goes to writer.

[Will Friedle]

Yes, definitely.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, so let's jump into it. Here are our 10 categories. Class clown. Best dressed. Most likely to ditch class. Best hair. Most likely to succeed. Most likely to become famous. Biggest flirt. Most likely to end up in jail. Most likely to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Most likely to Win the lottery. So Those are our 10 categories. Should we jump right in to figuring out who is most likely to be class clown? I have a very long list of not, you know, characters, people we've talked about. So if we start getting stumped and you need some inspiration, I can read some names if.

[Ryder Strong]

Okay.

[Danielle Fishel]

If there's something we're not thinking of. Okay. Does anybody, right off the bat, have some. Someone in mind for class clown?

[Ryder Strong]

Yes.

[Will Friedle]

Who do you have?

[Ryder Strong]

I have a very, very out of the box choice. Since we're starting with this category. I mean, some of mine are, like, very on the nose, but this one is completely out of left field. I'm gonna say Rabbi Michael Jacobs.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, what?

[Danielle Fishel]

As class clown?

[Will Friedle]

He's the class clown.

[Ryder Strong]

Do you guys remember Michael Jacobs? He is the funniest human we ever worked with. He was the voice of comedy in Boy Meets World. He's uncredited in this role, but if I'm just running with. And like every story we've ever heard about Michael when he was younger, especially from Jeff McCracken on this podcast was that he never took anything seriously. Never took any assignment seriously. Was joking off, trying to make people laugh constantly. I think it's Michael Jacobs.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, but you said Rabbi Michael Jacobs, so I thought you meant the character he. But was the rabbi funny? Are we just gon. The person playing him was funny? Because I did not find any humor in praying over that dead baby.

[Will Friedle]

The baby's not dead. We've talked about this.

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't know.

[Will Friedle]

I don't know what the other baby might. Oh, my God. We went dark fast. We went dark fast.

[Danielle Fishel]

So wait, I really need Ryder to explain this to me.

[Ryder Strong]

I was just like, oh, look, there's. There's funny characters in Boy Meets World, so we could have picked any one of them. But who was the voice of the comedy of Boy Meets World?

[Will Friedle]

I also think, though, I also think there needs to be. Cause, I mean, I would instantly go, Eric. But it's class clown.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right, Exactly.

[Will Friedle]

And the idea. We didn't see Eric in class a whole lot, so to me, it needs to be somebody who was constantly in the classroom.

[Danielle Fishel]

In a classroom. Like, I would have maybe said Joey the Rat.

[Will Friedle]

Right. Somebody where we saw.

[Ryder Strong]

We were even in class.

[Danielle Fishel]

He was there occasionally in the class.

[Ryder Strong]

Never even in class.

[Danielle Fishel]

Not true. Not never. You know who's in the same. Did we ever see him in class? Michael Jacobs.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ryder Strong]

Jeez. Telling everybody what to say and how to do it. Funny. So you're giving me. Yeah, no, he's the voice of the comedy.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, I'm going to. I'm going to throw out a random one because he was in the classroom and he was hysterical. I'm going to throw out Chet.

[Josh Clark]

Oh.

[Will Friedle]

As class clown. Because he cares about making people.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's a really good one.

[Will Friedle]

Super funny and often talking in the classroom like, you got a microwave. You're welcome. Welcome. Like that kind of stuff. I could totally see Chet as the class clown.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's a good one. Gosh. I'm gonna stick with Joey the Rat.

[Jana Kramer]

He.

[Danielle Fishel]

I do remember a scene, even if he wasn't sitting in his seat a couple of times, where he was in the classroom and. And being disruptive whether he came in. In the middle with Frankie to interrupt. I'm gonna stick with Joey the Rat as being my class clown.

[Ryder Strong]

Okay. Okay, I'm throwing out.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

I'm gonna throw out one really quick. How about Louis, the Shaun Weiss character, who, like, everything is a joke.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, yeah, that's another good one.

[Ryder Strong]

He's like the other Joey the Rat, and I feel like he is much More comedy based. Like Joey the Rat's a criminal, you know, But I. I feel like. And Joey wants to be liked, but I don't know if he's like making jokes.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's.

[Ryder Strong]

He's talking fast, but he's not. Yeah, Louie was making jokes.

[Will Friedle]

Louie's interesting.

[Danielle Fishel]

All right, so you prefer Jensen's pick. Okay, got it. I see. See where you feel. It's totally fine.

[Ryder Strong]

I disagree with everything.

[Will Friedle]

This from the guy who picked the. The guy. The person who's really praying over the.

[Danielle Fishel]

Child for class clown of Boy Meets World. Listen, Hot Take McGee over there. I love Hot Take McGee. I love it. Okay, let's go to best dressed. I have someone right off the top of my head.

[Will Friedle]

Me too. Go.

[Ryder Strong]

You go first.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, no, you go first.

[Danielle Fishel]

TK What? Sex kitten.

[Ryder Strong]

Sex kitten on you. You're really okay with a 15 year old wearing a sex kitten?

[Danielle Fishel]

I'm not saying. I'm not saying I'm okay with it. I'm saying.

[Will Friedle]

I'm saying it was hot.

[Danielle Fishel]

I'm saying.

[Will Friedle]

There you go.

[Danielle Fishel]

That was a good outfit.

[Will Friedle]

I actually heard.

[Ryder Strong]

But then I was like, the sex kitten thing is a little much.

[Will Friedle]

She's deciding between two shirts. It's sex kitten or dumpster.

[Ryder Strong]

Which one you wear?

[Will Friedle]

Like, what do I wear to school?

[Danielle Fishel]

I can't believe that.

[Will Friedle]

Ye.

[Ryder Strong]

She is trying too hard for me. She's, you know, she just. Yeah. No, no.

[Will Friedle]

All right. I got. I got. I got one.

[Danielle Fishel]

Who?

[Will Friedle]

I have to go. Mr. Feeny. Oh, Mr. Feeny is. You go back and you watch. Now, Mr. Feeny was a snazzy dresser. Always. Even when he's in his bathrobe.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

He is like styling his bathroom the entire time. Yeah. So I gotta. I gotta stick with Feeny for best Dressed.

[Ryder Strong]

I'm gonna go with Cape. K. Kid.

[Danielle Fishel]

What cape?

[Ryder Strong]

What cape? He just dresses the way he feels. He's not following any trends. He doesn't care. He's not feeling judged.

[Will Friedle]

Is that Chris Owens character?

[Ryder Strong]

Yes, he's Cape Kid. He is marching to the beat of his own drummer. He doesn't care. That kid is gonna be a great dresser.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, that's a really good one. I'm gonna change my answer. Yeah, I wanna change mine to Mr. Turner with his ties.

[Will Friedle]

See, I thought Turner's definitely up there too.

[Danielle Fishel]

But Turner's ties. You're right, Will.

[Ryder Strong]

But the jeans, you're okay with the jeans?

[Will Friedle]

It's jeans all the time is.

[Danielle Fishel]

In the 90s, women loved men in tight jeans like that tight little tushy.

[Will Friedle]

Yikes. See, I have no. So I. Those didn't do anything for me. Like, none.

[Danielle Fishel]

Well, you would have it if you didn't belt your pants under your butt.

[Ryder Strong]

Even if I do.

[Will Friedle]

Even if I do. There's no. I mean, nothing.

[Ryder Strong]

You need a sex kitten skirt is what I mean. Let's just.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's.

[Will Friedle]

Well, then I'd have it.

[Ryder Strong]

You're. You're right.

[Will Friedle]

You're right.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay. Cape kid. Yeah, I see writers ticket writers. Writer had a real strategy.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's got. He's got some. He's got a. Jeez. A plan. All right. Most likely to ditch class, huh? The rabbi.

[Will Friedle]

Rabbi Michael Jacobs. He wins again.

[Danielle Fishel]

I think I gotta go, Griff. I mean.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, it's the obvious.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, it's a little on the nose.

[Ryder Strong]

Okay, you're right.

[Will Friedle]

You know what?

[Danielle Fishel]

I should go back to Rabbi Michael's storyline.

[Ryder Strong]

So. Yes. You will never go to class. He will find a way to ditch class. Sure. We can say same thing about Harley, Joey, Frankie. They're all gonna ditch class.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, I could be a class ditcher.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, writer. Who are you thinking?

[Ryder Strong]

Lauren.

[Danielle Fishel]

What? Cause she stays up all night.

[Ryder Strong]

She doesn't follow. She doesn't follow boundaries, man.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

She breaks boundaries. She doesn't care about rules. She's gonna go after what she wants to do and she's gonna find a way to make it everyone else's problem.

[Danielle Fishel]

Also, she has to work. She's the only person who works at that place. Like, she doesn't. She has to sleep there. And then she thinks she doesn't need.

[Ryder Strong]

It, so she's gonna skip class. That's good. I think that's my out of the box hot take. Hot take. McGee. I'm just curious.

[Will Friedle]

I'm curious, Mr. McGee, are any of your takes in the box?

[Ryder Strong]

Get your oven mitts on and throw in you, the hot potato. Hot takes that coming your way.

[Will Friedle]

Yes.

[Ryder Strong]

No, Some of the mine are really on the nose, but. But yeah, I was trying to have fun discussion.

[Danielle Fishel]

Good, good.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

I was thinking about, like, who.

[Ryder Strong]

Who's gonna think that they can get away with it and like, doesn't trust, you know, doesn't respect boundaries. Lauren, like, you know, she just thinks she's. She can go after another lady's man.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, I'm also gonna go with baby Joshua. You know, like, that baby just, like, evacuated the uterus early, and then he.

[Ryder Strong]

Aged like five years before the finale.

[Danielle Fishel]

Obviously he didn't go to school. You don't get to age that fast if you're in School. They slow you down.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, exactly.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

I'm gonna do a hot take. Cause it's a character that. The character that we see wouldn't fit this category. But the character that I'm guessing he was does okay. And that's young Alan Matthews.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh.

[Will Friedle]

I see young Alan as the guy. That's why he went into the Navy. You know, he was a fighter, used to box. You probably fought on the streets. I think young Alan Matthews would be most likely to ditch class.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's good. I like that one.

[Ryder Strong]

One. Okay.

[Danielle Fishel]

I'm gonna stick with Griff, even though writer fully called me out for it, being on the nose. But moving forward, I think I'm just gonna try to have more fun because.

[Will Friedle]

Okay.

[Danielle Fishel]

You know.

[Will Friedle]

Well, that's what you're known for.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. I mean, I'm trying real hard, so I get. I. I'm just gonna do my best here. Okay. The next one's Best Hair. There's so much great hair on this show with Will Ryder, myself, Tony Quinn, Carrie Russell. Y. I mean, truly, just the amount of hair stuff on this show is kind of.

[Ryder Strong]

You already said my pick. I was gonna say Keri Russell. I was Jessica, because it was just yesterday I was in a conversation where somebody brought up the Felicity haircut incident with 99 or whatever. And I was, like, thinking about it when we were going. I was like, I can't believe that we're still talking about that.

[Will Friedle]

You know, when she cut her hair, it made the news.

[Ryder Strong]

That's so. That's ridiculous.

[Will Friedle]

So, like, literally made the news when she cut her.

[Ryder Strong]

So I think she. She wins for me.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. I would have to agree. It's pretty. And that. And that's saying something. When you got Topanga on the list, when you've got Danielle on the list.

[Ryder Strong]

But also her haircut was a part of our show, so very similar sort of argument could be made for Topanga.

[Will Friedle]

But we had. We had a big hair show. I mean, that's a tough. This is a tough category because we had a big hair show.

[Ryder Strong]

I had 30 foot range as Sean.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, right, right.

[Will Friedle]

The whole thing with Corey and straightening his hair and Eric with his hair. Yeah. A lot of hair. So stuff. But I think you got to give it to Carrie Russell.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. I mean, that would have been. That would have been my pick if both of you guys weren't picking it. And it. It honestly feels a bit like a. I know it's on the nose, and I said I was going to go out, think outside the box, but it feels insane. To not have Topanga on the list for best hair. So I'm going. I'm going to nominate Topanga.

[Will Friedle]

Wow.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. Okay. I'm writing this all down. So if we want to go over.

[Will Friedle]

It so we can.

[Danielle Fishel]

We can have people vote on our superlatives the same way they voted on our, you know.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, good. I was hoping I could lose something else today.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. Oh, me too. I just, you know, just love to be judged for everything.

[Will Friedle]

I decided to just lose all the time.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, Next up, Most likely to succeed.

[Ryder Strong]

Wow. This is tricky.

[Will Friedle]

I know, I know. I. I got one right off the bat.

[Ryder Strong]

How do you guys define success? Is the question.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, for the love of God. Money, obviously.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, it's just money. It's not a well rounded life of fulfilling, happy, like, good life.

[Will Friedle]

No, Most likely to have a good life. That's not a thing.

[Danielle Fishel]

I think.

[Ryder Strong]

All right. Succeed in their own goals.

[Danielle Fishel]

Correct. That's what I was gonna say. I think success has to be that whatever their goals are, they achieve them. That's what success is.

[Ryder Strong]

Right. So I have the. The answer.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, you have the number one answer. What's your answer?

[Ryder Strong]

The Amish farmer, he's gonna make it, for the love of God, to that farmhouse there. It's that farmhouse right there. He's not going to be bothered by technology. His life is gonna be in his own hands.

[Danielle Fishel]

Comedy Ryder.

[Ryder Strong]

He is in control. He will succeed. That man is going to churn the butter and have everything that he's ever wanted. Because he's got his horse and buggy and he's getting to that farmhouse there. Actually, no, the real. I think Jack is probably the most successful because he comes from money, he's well rounded. He goes to the Peace Corps at the end of Boy Meets World. So I think, you know, he's selfless, but he also has the resources. His head's in the right place. I think Jack, of all of us, Jack is the least at the end of Boy Meets World. I feel like Jack is the most set up for true success.

[Danielle Fishel]

Wow.

[Will Friedle]

I think the proper answer is, of course, Minkus.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

I think Minkus would be the most successful. And the reason when you said Topanga. Topanga has already proven she will make decisions with her heart. That might not be the best decisions in the world. Whereas Mingus is gonna run you over to get what he wants. Success.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

So I. I would have to go with Minkus.

[Danielle Fishel]

You go with Minkus. You've got that Amish. Amish farmer.

[Ryder Strong]

Yep.

[Danielle Fishel]

I think there's no doubt that the person who will be most successful is Philip Mack from the center. His hugs, his.

[Will Friedle]

You think there's a documentary about that guy right now on Netflix?

[Ryder Strong]

I'm sure. But cult leaders always fall. It's always. There's always a downfall. They never maintain.

[Will Friedle]

What do you think his name is? You know how like they. That vanguard was the guy from that one thing. Like, what do you think Mr. Mac's like name was? You know, they had to call himself.

[Ryder Strong]

Daddy Daddy or just Daddy Mac.

[Danielle Fishel]

Return of the Mac. Oh, God. Okay.

[Will Friedle]

We should start a cult.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, I honestly, it starts so great. I just want this. I want the schedule.

[Ryder Strong]

Start a cult or do you want to be in a cult?

[Danielle Fishel]

I want to be in a cult. I don't want to.

[Ryder Strong]

I know a lot of people who are interested. Like, I want somebody to tell me how to live my life, take care.

[Danielle Fishel]

Of all my crap. What do I have to eat? What time do I have to.

[Ryder Strong]

Tell me what to do?

[LifeLock Advertiser/Spokesperson]

And I will.

[Will Friedle]

Sex stuff.

[Danielle Fishel]

Sure, sure.

[Ryder Strong]

But you know, isn't there in life anyway? We all make compromises.

[Danielle Fishel]

We all have to suck it up and do it eventually.

[Will Friedle]

Did you really need to say suck it up? Was this really the phrase you're to going. Gonna stick with for this? God.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

I'm throwing out Ricky Faris as well.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, God, Ricky.

[Ryder Strong]

I don't think he's succeeding. No, of course he is.

[Danielle Fishel]

Embarrassed.

[Will Friedle]

Embarrassed. He invented the double croissant. It's amazing. So much lamination. Lamination.

[Ryder Strong]

Who is the most.

[Danielle Fishel]

Who's the most likely to become famous, Miss?

[Will Friedle]

I think Eric. And probably not for good reasons.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yes, I 100% say Eric.

[Will Friedle]

There could be an embarrassing press conference in Eric's future.

[Ryder Strong]

So.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. Yeah. I could see Eric somehow becoming famous.

[Ryder Strong]

Infamous maybe, but I don't know. Famous. Yeah. My answer is really on the nose. It's Karina Shallow. She already is famous. And I think she also adjusts. You know, she adjusted based on the cultural trends and her emotions. Yeah. So I think. I think she's gonna continue to have success as a singer songwriter and, you know, be a legend. Okay.

[Danielle Fishel]

Hmm.

[Will Friedle]

I could do a hot take one too. Please do, Morgan. Oh, like Morgan, I think could just because she was kind of singing a little bit herself. You know, maybe Morgan became like super famous.

[Danielle Fishel]

I mean, another super on the nose one is Alexandra. Nikita. I mean, you know, started as so talented. Obviously started as a kid, like very clearly. I guess some could argue though, she was already like, the reason she was on the show was because she was already famous.

[Ryder Strong]

But do Artists really get famous the same way that, like, musicians, actors, or did we ever have an actor character on our show? Eric.

[Danielle Fishel]

Eric.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

And the.

[Ryder Strong]

That's a good argument for Eric.

[Will Friedle]

And all of you when you played heightened versions of yourself in Eric Hollywood. Those are all supposed to be actors, so that would work as well.

[Danielle Fishel]

All right. Who do we think is the biggest flirt?

[Will Friedle]

Wait, did you answer? Did you answer? Who do you think?

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, I said Eric. I. I completely agree with you. That would have been. Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Gotcha.

[Danielle Fishel]

Biggest flirt. Who do we think?

[Ryder Strong]

Is there so much flirting on our show?

[Danielle Fishel]

I mean.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

Out of control. I mean, any woman who's ever seen Court.

[Will Friedle]

Yes.

[Danielle Fishel]

Just automatic.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, yeah. So that you could go back to, like, Missy Robinson and say she. Because she really.

[Danielle Fishel]

She loved him.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. Who was. What was the name of the character that gives Eric the test answers? He was flirting with him the whole time.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

That's another one. I can't remember her name, but that's another one too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

What about the counselor who wants to have sex with Sean?

[Will Friedle]

Oh, yeah. That's a good one, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's on the barmaid. The barmaid in Boston with Eric.

[Ryder Strong]

My real answer. My real answer.

[Danielle Fishel]

Uhhuh. Reg.

[Ryder Strong]

Reginald Fairfield. Oh, he was.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's going with everybody.

[Ryder Strong]

He's going with the. The guys, the ladies. He just wants in. He just wants in.

[Danielle Fishel]

He.

[Ryder Strong]

He's poly. He's all about, you know, Alan and Amy and whatever.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. That is a good one.

[Will Friedle]

That's a good one. You could. You could argue Rachel from the. The main cast is pretty flirty.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

What about Ronnie?

[Ryder Strong]

Lips?

[Will Friedle]

Lips Water.

[Ryder Strong]

Which one was Ronnie?

[Danielle Fishel]

That's Andrew Keegan.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

I mean, this isn't. This isn't a legit flirt, but I will throw out the waitresses at La Clevage.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. They're paid to flirt. They're paid to flirt.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's their job.

[Ryder Strong]

That's underway.

[Will Friedle]

So the women at Hooters don't really like me.

[Ryder Strong]

No. Well.

[Danielle Fishel]

Well, they like you.

[Will Friedle]

It's the wing sauce. There's a lot. There's a lot of flirting.

[Danielle Fishel]

I know.

[Will Friedle]

On Boy Meets World.

[Danielle Fishel]

What about the rabbi?

[Will Friedle]

What about rabbi?

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

What about rabbi?

[Will Friedle]

Yeah.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

What about Phil Leeds in real life?

[Danielle Fishel]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. I'd have to say one of the characters we'd have to talk about is Corey himself.

[Danielle Fishel]

I know he seems to kind of.

[Ryder Strong]

He's so bad at flirting, but the women love it. No, women are flirting with him, and he's awkward and horrible at it.

[Will Friedle]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Ryder Strong]

No, it has to be somebody who's good at flirting, who enjoys flirting, who's always flirting.

[Danielle Fishel]

I mean, Sean is.

[Ryder Strong]

Sean draws him in with brooding. He doesn't.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's not true. Not in those first couple of, in those first couple of episodes. Even with Topanga when she, after the haircut episode, and he's like, come move away with me. And we'll, you know, like, he, he, he can throw it all. He can throw caution to the wind. I'm, I'm gonna stick with Missy Robinson. Writers sticking with Reg. Reginald. Reginald Fairfield and Will.

[Will Friedle]

Who did you decide I'm gonna stick with? Rachel.

[Danielle Fishel]

Rachel.

[Will Friedle]

Okay. Yeah, it's an obvious, an obvious answer, but I'm gonna st.

[Ryder Strong]

How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

[Will Friedle]

And I help a man atonement for an armed robbery he committed at 14 years old. And so I pointed the gun at.

[Host of High Key Podcast (possibly one of the High Key hosts)]

Him and said, this isn't a joke. And he got down.

[Will Friedle]

And I remember feeling kind of a surge of like, okay, this is power. Plus, my old friend Gregor and his brother tried to solve my problems through hypnotism.

[Ryder Strong]

We could give you a whole brand new thing where you're like super charming all the time, being more able to look people in the eye, not always hide behind a microphone.

[Will Friedle]

Listen to heavyweight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Danielle Fishel]

Most likely to end up in jail.

[Ryder Strong]

Mine's a little on the nose.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

I think I know mine. I could start. I could start the kid who tries to fight Sean in the trailer park who's wearing a leather jacket.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, his brother, right? Eddie.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

Eddie.

[Ryder Strong]

That's it. Eddie. He's so young, basically, in jail.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

Yeah, he's so young.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. I'd have to go with the professor, that Fred Savage.

[Ryder Strong]

Stuart. I had him, too.

[Will Friedle]

Wow.

[Ryder Strong]

And my runner up was the counselor who flirted with me.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right.

[Will Friedle]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. It's. I feel like, you know, but in both cases, you have somebody with authority still going too far. But, yeah, I think Stuart. Stuart ended up, you know, on trial in the show.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

So I think that guy's, you know, agreed. He's a serial criminal. He's. He didn't learn his lesson. He's gonna cross the line again. And.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yep.

[Will Friedle]

I agree.

[Danielle Fishel]

I am gonna do TK well, you.

[Ryder Strong]

Can'T do TK you already did it for best.

[Danielle Fishel]

I know. I changed it from to. To Mr. Turner. For ties.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, for ties.

[Danielle Fishel]

So I'm T.K. i think.

[Will Friedle]

What do you think the crime she committed is?

[Danielle Fishel]

Theft.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, wow.

[Will Friedle]

What did she steal? Besides our hearts.

[Danielle Fishel]

Here's the thing. I know that her dad probably has money from some. You know, I don't know what. Because she. Remember how much stuff she was buying.

[Will Friedle]

That's meth money. That's meth money.

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't think all of that. I think some of that stuff's blackmail, bribery. So I think she. Racketeering. I think. I think she's going to jail for something like that. I think she's using coercion to get what she wants. And that.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, that.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's gonna end up backfiring eventually.

[Will Friedle]

Interesting. Okay, I can see. See that. I can see that.

[Danielle Fishel]

Who do we think is most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse?

[Will Friedle]

This one's easy for me.

[Danielle Fishel]

Really?

[Will Friedle]

Yeah. Super easy for me.

[Danielle Fishel]

Is it the rabbi?

[Will Friedle]

Yes. Okay, Michael, coming back to the Rabbi? No, it's the guy at the trailer park that goes and says, you can't have the outsiders here. The bald guy who's like, they're not supposed to be around here. That guy is going to survive a zombie Apollo.

[Danielle Fishel]

Because you're exactly right that he would be the star of Walking Dead.

[Will Friedle]

Exactly.

[Ryder Strong]

He's already paranoid. He's already prepping.

[Will Friedle]

Correct.

[Ryder Strong]

He's got a bunker prepper.

[Danielle Fishel]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

That's a guy surviving.

[Danielle Fishel]

Gosh. That's a really good call, Will.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

And he's not trusting outsiders. So he would go first to lock down and not let the zombie people in.

[Will Friedle]

That guy survived.

[Ryder Strong]

Really great answer.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

I was gonna say Jennifer Bastard.

[Danielle Fishel]

It.

[Ryder Strong]

Christana Loken.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, another great answer.

[Ryder Strong]

Resourceful.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Will Friedle]

Terminator.

[Ryder Strong]

Terminator. She's.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, that's helpful.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. She doesn't follow laws. No rules.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right, Right.

[Ryder Strong]

She's gonna have, like, a. She's gonna have a harem of men. All handcuffed and boathouse.

[Will Friedle]

Wow. Jesus. But straight harem of men.

[Danielle Fishel]

I love a harem of men. Yeah. Ah, man, this one's hard.

[Ryder Strong]

I mean, Minkus is a good answer here, too.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, I guess.

[Ryder Strong]

He can build anything. He's gonna have, like, a water filtration system within minutes.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

What about Lonnie from the outdoors store?

[Will Friedle]

Oh, Lonnie. Or her uncle or the.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

She can wrestle. She can.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, I'm gonna go here.

[Ryder Strong]

That's a good one.

[Danielle Fishel]

I'm gonna go with Lonnie. That is a.

[Will Friedle]

Although with the outfits that she wears, that's a lot of biting space.

[Danielle Fishel]

I know. But you know what? They can bite through clothes. It's not, like, protect you from bites. True. So I am going to go with Lonnie. Because I think she's got some skills.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah. Survival skills.

[Danielle Fishel]

Definitely.

[Will Friedle]

Interesting. Interesting. It's a good one, too.

[Danielle Fishel]

Who is most likely to win the lottery?

[Ryder Strong]

Janitor Bud.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, he's gambling. He was gambling.

[Ryder Strong]

He's gambling. He's playing the ponies. That guy's buying multiple tickets every day. Good shot.

[Will Friedle]

Good one. I would say Chet, but I already used him. But that's a good. But janitor1 also, I feel like Chat's.

[Danielle Fishel]

Chet's luck is so bad.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's not very likely to win.

[Ryder Strong]

No.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, that's true, too. You know who I think probably plays the lottery on a regular basis is Amy. Oh, I can see Amy playing the lottery. Like, oh, I just buy a ticket a week. I always use the same numbers. I've been doing it for 30 years. Like, it's that kind of thing.

[Ryder Strong]

She could use that. That would be nice.

[Will Friedle]

And then they'll hit. And the first thing she does do, Ditch Allen and the family. She'd take off. She'd just wake up, she'd gone. She'd go cash in her ticket, get, like, $90 million, be on a beach somewhere. Ditch her whole family. Absolutely. I think it's perfectly in keeping with Amy.

[Danielle Fishel]

I'm going to go with Chubby.

[Will Friedle]

Which one?

[Danielle Fishel]

Any of them.

[Ryder Strong]

The original. That's why he left.

[Will Friedle]

It.

[Danielle Fishel]

Cuz he won and then he sold it to Peg Leg Pete's.

[Will Friedle]

Exactly. God.

[Danielle Fishel]

And to get out of it. That's. That's who I. That's who I'm going to go with.

[Will Friedle]

Chubby's a good one. I feel like it's been 500 years since we've been at Chubby's or seen Chubby's.

[Danielle Fishel]

It has. I do too. I miss. I miss the. I know that the student union is supposed to be the quote unquote, third place environment. The. The thing that's not the school or the. Whatever. I don't like, like it.

[Will Friedle]

It's not the same.

[Danielle Fishel]

It's not the same.

[Will Friedle]

No.

[Danielle Fishel]

It still feels schooly. It still feels a little like a classroom set, whereas.

[Ryder Strong]

Or a living room set. It's like it's. It's not. It's either we're sitting on the couch like it's our living room or we're. Yeah. In a squash.

[Will Friedle]

Little coffee shop and it's like we're at the. Yeah, I agree. There's something intimate about Chubby's that this, the. The school set is very sprawling, very deep.

[Ryder Strong]

You don't have a purpose for being there. When you go to Chubby's. You're there to eat. So it always makes sense that people would be on a date or have. You know, and that gives you an activity. It makes. It takes the pressure off the space. Whereas like every time we're in the student union, you just feel like we're standing around grandstanding and taking over the room or we're sitting on the couch and it feels a little low energy. It's like, it's not a good set.

[Danielle Fishel]

It's also such a temporary. It's like, oh, they must be either before class or immediately after class. They're on their way to something. It feels very like there's a transition happening. And I. It's also having a. Having a place where, you know, everyone's off the clock is a different feeling than like at any point in time. I could be having a conversation with Feenie about some. Like it. I don't know. It doesn't feel homey or school. Like, it's just kind of. I don't know. I really miss having another place.

[Will Friedle]

I agree 100%. I remember when we were shooting it, liking it, thinking it was like, oh, we're like friends, we're all on the couch. But now that I'm watching it, I'm like, it's just. It's not the same yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

It is nice that it's a location. It makes sense for all of us to be together, like, you know, as opposed to it. Like, is this the only restaurant in town? Because now that they wanted to start including Jack, Rachel, Eric in with Topanga, Corey, and, you know, like, it. It makes sense, but it doesn't feel as good.

[Will Friedle]

No, I agree. I agree.

[Danielle Fishel]

Do we get anything like that in season seven, or do we just.

[Will Friedle]

I think we're still there in the student union.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay.

[Will Friedle]

But there's a monkey in one episode, so that's good.

[Danielle Fishel]

Wait, really?

[Will Friedle]

Yeah, don't you remember? Eric gets him monkey. Oh, and it was the same monkey that was on Friends. Yeah, yeah, it was that same monkey. Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

[Will Friedle]

Of course not.

[Danielle Fishel]

No, I'm saying. Okay, so you know Jensen and I went to high school together.

[Will Friedle]

Yes.

[Danielle Fishel]

We have a video that a friend of ours took in high school where they're interviewing me and I have my little bangs and long, long hair. So it's before the haircut, and they are asking me, like, who's the most famous person you've ever met? And I said, marcel, the monkey. We had him on our show, but that did they.

[Will Friedle]

That was later. We had him on the show, though, because we haven't had a monkey on the show yet.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

I think you say he was on our show. I think you just say you met him.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, maybe I just met him somewhere before he worked on our show.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

Like at a club or something.

[Will Friedle]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. So is that above Dublin's with Marcello monkey 12?

[Will Friedle]

He never had to wait in line. He was just, like, walking in. It was awesome.

[Danielle Fishel]

You're not allowed to look at him.

[Ryder Strong]

Are you sure you are?

[Danielle Fishel]

I have. I have my long hair.

[Ryder Strong]

So it was before season four.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

Were you even in high school?

[Will Friedle]

Were you in high school?

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, I was in high school in. I started high school in 95.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

The video is definitely taken in 96.

[Ryder Strong]

Okay.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. Anyway. Very interesting. I think I have long hair. Maybe I need to watch the video again. Jensen can. Do you have the video? Video? I'll watch it again. Maybe I'm wrong, but because we've watched.

[Will Friedle]

Six seasons of the show, we haven't had a. A monkey yet. Correct. Am I forgetting there's been no monkey?

[Danielle Fishel]

You're going to have to ask someone other than Dory.

[Will Friedle]

Hey, at least I remembered it was Dory. Yeah. We had bears. We had pigs. I don't think we've had the monkey yet.

[Unidentified male participant (possibly a guest or co-host)]

No monkey yet? No.

[Danielle Fishel]

No monkey.

[Will Friedle]

Okay, good.

[Danielle Fishel]

All right. Well, looking forward to the monkey.
