The Survivor 50 finale is now more than just a desert island mirage - it's right around the corner! And so Will and Rider are getting ready, still courageously taking on the challenge of recapping every single episode. 

They're confused by the voting strategies, but the games still had our hosts on the edge of their seats, sparking the age-old debate of what’s more valuable on the island: brains or brawn?

There’s still no love for Coach, but Will and Rider will miss bizarre monologues and his “inspirational” quotes. Not many can share the wisdom of Sun Tzu AND a random financial advisor in the same thought. 

So come join us on Coconut Island, for an all-new Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

We’ve finally made it out of the ‘90s and we’ve welcomed in a new millennium! It makes sense that Cory and Topanga are now gainfully employed in the magazine industry, because there are still a lot of “issues.”

And in the new episode, he holds nothing back with his critiques on what the audience sees during the challenges. Do you agree that the players act like 10-year-olds?

Danielle is getting into the ring with two bona fide WWE Hall of Famers - Nikki and Brie Garcia (a.k.a. The Bella Twins). 

But before the Championship tiles and glimmer of Brie Mode, they were two “boy crazy" high schoolers, dominating at Soccer and taking care of an Arizona farm.

They open up about their childhood as twins - and rebelling against matching clothes and rhyming names.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to look back on the 2000s with Jason Biggs, we can tell you - it feels just like warm apple pie.

The gang is hanging out with a fellow former child actor and hearing every embarrassing story, including how his first (and second, third and fourth) kiss was not only on-screen…it was in the span of 10 minutes!
Jason tells us about his first on camera role in Drexell’s Class and reveals why he’s always thought Rider was a terrible driver.

Will and Rider are still castaways on Survivor 50 island, but has Rider been able to successfully convert Will into a die-hard fan of the show?

After recovering from the disappointing definition of a “tribe swap,” our hosts marvel at the overwhelming amount of Zac Brown this episode. But, the random cameo does remind Rider of his own spear fishing expedition that somehow ended in a shark attack. And Will reveals a true podcast exclusive: he bought Jonathan’s pants!

Plus, we hear Will and Rider share their thoughts on the big Bachelorette news, like the reality TV experts they are - on an all-new Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!

WARNING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We may have hit the lowest point in Boy Meets World history. But you know what that means - it’s gonna be a hilarious recap.

Eric and Jack become Chantal and Lala, but the gang spends most of the podcast trying to figure out how this logic could work. Will reveals he tried to save the plot back on tape night, but apparently Eric will do ANYTHING to avoid ONE bully (and the police will do nothing to stop him). 

Will tries to prepare everyone for more chaotic writing as the series speeds toward the finale, but just like 30 years ago, everyone is just doing the best they can with what they’re given.

So get ready to erase all the goodwill from “Chick Like Me,” right here on Pod Meets World!

She may have been immune to developing a crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas, but she could never have stopped the frenzy that was “She’s All That.”
