Summary
We couldn’t march through the final season of Boy Meets World without catching up with podcast, and host, favorite - Jeff Menell. The writer / producer, who was around for every BMW episode ever filmed, is back to hang out and shed some light on how, and why, this last batch of episodes were made.
He reveals his favorite unsung member of the writer’s room and how a chicken suit may have forced him out the door.
The gang finds out the truth behind the final season writing process, which may have involved more tennis rackets than script pages.
Plus, we revisit the infamous “couch scene” to find out exactly what was supposed to happen, and how does a case of the hiccups force you to miss a holiday party?
Celebrate all this is Menell - on a new Pod Meets World!

| 1:01.6 | And I'll answer to give you guys a chance to think. |
