Pod Meets World

It’s the morning after our Matthews House slumber party and it’s breakfast time! While the gang eats some of Rider’s famous croissants, we look back at our favorite memories from the sleepover, why “Face/Off” is a masterpiece, and the brilliance of “Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark” (no Fartknocker). So pull up a chair, watch the sunrise and have some turkey bacon, before Me Tie Dough-Ty Walker gets you! Pod Meets World is part of a Balanced Breakfast ™️See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re into the wee hours of our sleepover at the REAL Matthews house, and it’s time to call it a night. But before the lights go out, the gang has decided to take things out to the tent in the front yard (because of course Rider brought a tent. And has 4 others at home). The flashlights turn on and the sound of nature (helicopters) takes over as the gang shares some embarrassing sleepover stories from growing up! We survive a lice outbreak, we find out what it takes to get a pickup from the parents and we hear a story of a malevolent spirit who is more intense than Bloody Mary or Pennywise…with a name you’ll never forget.  Pull out your blankie because we saved a spot for you on another special sleepover episode of Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let’s be honest here - we’ve met a lot of Boy Meets World guest stars with some impressive resumés, but this week the gang reconnects with a friend who already had a blockbuster movie under his belt at age 7!  It’s time to talk to Justin Cooper, who played Erics girlfriend’s son, Ryan, in “Uncle Daddy,” AND, more notably, shared the screen with Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar.” Justin talks of Will’s incredible offscreen talent and Danielle’s co-star kindness, while also revealing the Batmobile in Jim Carrey’s backyard.

Is Eric ready to be a dad? It’s time to find out with the introduction of Ryan, a pre-Tommy played by one of the stars of “Liar Liar” (and no, it’s not Jim Carrey). Will might be critical of his acting choices in this one, but he didn’t miss when it came to mini basketball. Rusty and Betsy endure some strange wardrobe decisions, but are still able to teach Cory a lesson about leaving the car on E (all while confusing the hosts about what he did with Topanga during the stall out).
