Summary
It’s a dream come true for Will Friedle, with the smell of mashed potatoes and turkey in the air, the holiday trip down themed episodes continues, now with an 8th season Thanksgiving script of M*A*S*H.

Rider is upset with all the upset tummies, but can’t help by compare the adventures of M*A*S*H to the Boy Meets World universe.
Plus, in a debate that’s more intense than the final shot of The Sopranos…we try to figure out what really happens to Klinger with his ambiguous gasp, all on a new episode of Pod Meets World you’re sure to be thankful for…

| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:29.2 | Do you remember when we did try to do a show together called ADD TV? |
| 0:30.4 | Do I remember? |
| 0:33.0 | It was a seminal moment of my life. |
| 0:36.1 | It was really when I really fell in love with my wife. |
| 0:36.6 | Right. |
| 1:17.2 | That was a big part of it. But yeah, it was years, dude. We were on that for years. We had so much so for everybody out there. We were, I think, way ahead of the game because now it's kind of what everybody's looking for. But we thought that Saturday Night Live, as good and funny as it was, was antiquated in its format. Right. So the acting was funny. The sketches were funny, but we thought the sketches were too long. The musical guest should only come on once, and at the most, it should be an hour. But then we thought that's even too much. And we wanted to do a thing where it's like you're flipping through the channels. And remember longest skit was what a minute yeah our goal was to keep everything under 90 seconds um and yeah just a oh like an overwhelming amount of joke content and to not develop any of it well actually |
| 1:24.6 | at some point we did break like uh we we broke some skits up into like six |
| 1:29.1 | parts. Well, remember, there would be, there would be one main skit throughout the episode that we |

| 1:42.1 | And so we wrote some great skits. We got Jeff |
| 1:46.7 | Sherman involved as one of the writers from Boymeets World. We got Steve Hibbert involved. |
| 1:50.0 | Yep. The legendary John DiMaggio. My brother was there. You and I were in every skit. We were doing |
| 1:55.8 | a lot of different characters. Your wife? I had just worked with her on Pepper Dennis, and we had an actress drop out the, like, |
| 2:05.2 | three days before we started filming. |
| 2:07.4 | And we were shooting mostly at your house. |
| 2:09.6 | And then we had a stage that we got access to. |
| 2:12.1 | And we shot a whole bunch of content over the course of, I think, two weekends and had |
| 2:17.1 | the greatest time. We've not only had the greatest time, but think, two weekends and had the greatest time. |
| 2:18.3 | We not only had the greatest time, but it's still some of my favorite skits I've ever done. |
