My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-plottener artists. You desire in family like this picture. And that's not reality. My sister and i don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life.

And i hope it's not forever.

But it's for right now. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast doubt the case of Lucy Leppby. We unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023.

But what if we didn't get the whole story? Out of space at first. The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collage.

“What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe?”

Oh my god, I think she might be innocent. Listen to doubt the case of Lucy Leppby. On the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckard.

In 2022, i was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. But here's the thing.

Bachelors fans hated him.

If i could press a button and rewind it all i would. That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract.

Agreed to date me. But i'm also suing you. This is unlike anything i've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to love trapped on the iHeart Radio app.

Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. [Music] So you know on our Sammy Walk Susan and I often throw questions at each other and sometimes the questions are really fun. And i bring them here and most of the time you're not.

You don't hear them but. We had a good one the other day. Just because unlike most people in the world the three of us are getting younger. But if we were getting older and the world around us was changing.

If you had the option to look back. And bring one restaurant or store that has since closed from your youth. Back. What would it be?

And i'll answer to give you guys a chance to think. [Music] So easy for me i want blockbuster back. I miss walking through the aisles. I miss picking up videos.

They were videos at the time now. And flipping them over and looking at the cover. I miss the whole action of the new movies came out on Tuesday. I get to go see what's out there. A whole thing for me and it was a ritual.

So that was mine easy bar none. Susan apparently when she was growing up. There was a store near her where all they did was cell genes. A little store. And I was like well different types.

Like not like a Levi's. No. Apparently all different types of genes. And I was like well were there shirts. Like nope.

It was a store full of genes. So it was like okay weird.

“So i'm asking you is there something that you remember”

from your youth that you're like i want that back. Bring it back. Absolutely. Actually weirdly enough. It came up this weekend.

Is it a horse convention? No. I was at a horror convention. And reconnected with Eli Roth, who directed camp here because we were all there with the cast. And we were talking about you know what we're up to or where we're living.

And he's like you know i mentioned that i'm i live in highland park. And he goes did you move to highland park just so you were hoping they would reopen highland grounds.

And he's like yeah i remember highland grounds. Of course that was the best place in all of LA. They had i i've talked about it on the show i feel like yeah.

Highland and Melrose it's now changed to like it's been three different restaurants but it will never

be what it was which was coffee shop slash bar slash performance space with an outdoor area with fire pits. Yeah. I would go at least once a week. I knew everybody that worked there. I knew the owner he think owner is a guy he still owns Hugo's.

Oh yeah he goes tacos and then Hugo's in the valley is a pretty good restaurant but they don't serve what they had a highland grounds which was the black bean burger which i mentioned. It was my burger i it was like oh so it was like sourdough bread. Some kind of pepper and then black bean like their homemade black bean patty. Oh god it was so good guys and they had their fries their hand cut fries.

Did you poetry there yeah I did a couple shows there yeah but it was also just you'd go any time a day or day or if you went at night it would be packed and they'd be live music or live

poetry or something and it was always cool and cool like bar like space that you could be in as

it somebody who wasn't old enough to drink it was like it was like the equivalent of going to a bar for me at 17 or 16 because it would be like act you know people milling about and art everywhere and conversation and then i would go during the in the mornings or during the day

“by myself and just sit and write on the outside outdoor area i remember um Tarantino apparently wrote”

like a couple of his scripts there because apparently he writes like long hand like or he used to write his scripts by hand and like i remember being out there and the the highland grounds like thing and Tarantino's over in the corner writing it was like it was just like the coolest spot that's it going yeah i just like that i'd like that that's like sounds good both of you guys had answers that i'm like oh i really like that i don't even like movies you

know i feel about the art in general but i the idea of because one of the things i don't love about movie watching is the fact that i have to look on my phone to figure something out what is there to watch i like the idea and i miss the blockbuster nights where you do go we're gonna watch a movie tonight and you walk into a place and you've got all the covers i remember the vHS covers all lined up and you get to look at all of them and then pick oh

let's go over here let's say that you carry a few of them around with you then you narrow it down yeah i love that that that is very fun and then hearing writer talk about highland grounds reminded me of my place when i was 18 19 20 21 and going out was called

“the coffee house and it was arted you remember the coffee house it's still i mean the place is still”

there now it's something else but yeah something else but the location is still there oh yeah and it was started by Brent Bolthouse who was one of the most like famous club promoters at the time and he had been sober for a very long time and one of the things that he remembers being hard

for him about his sobriety is that people would always want to go to the clubs that were nearby

and then when the clubs would end everyone would go to after parties and he he's everything if you weren't gonna go drink or do anything like that he wanted a place that where you could go as a sober person and still have community and still hang out that bar vibe and so it had indoor outdoor space they used to do some events there where people could do you know spoken words if you wanted to see Leonardo DiCaprio playing backgammon that was a good spot to find him

and it was just a similar writer to hearing you talk about highland grounds i knew everyone there i felt at home there they had great food so they were also open during the day it's not like you had to go there after you know 2 a.m. but they were open super late they were open until you know four or five o'clock in the morning for people who used to go to clubs and then want somewhere to go out

“on the set strip right right on the sunset strip gives me like when i think back to it's like”

what one of my warm fuzzy places is is the coffee house the space is still the same yeah it's now it's just a bar with food i mean it's actually not bad it's but it's so it's much more of a bar you know traditional but the space still the what they redesigned how they redesigned that space without door area it's still there I just went there a couple months ago after a friend's movie premiere yeah it's like it's still a cool space yeah okay good and those are both your places oh i was

going to say it's just love how both your places are designed for socialization and mine is designed to stay by myself so i'm okay so accurate and you want to go on record is saying well this is a question that i think about probably every 40 to 50 minutes per series which Danielle oh yeah Danielle knows that when we drive down the street she can tell you what i do. Jensen's one of Jensen's favorite things to do is when he has time randomly get off on an exit 10 to 15 minutes away from our

to be that yeah oh look at that that's out of business now huh yeah but that was the same thing

oh well jensen and i start carpooling it'll be fine we'll get to every half hour late but it'll be great i figured you were gonna say rubies because there's a rubies in this is it sadness and regret or is it kind of joyful oh no i'm just business reporting yeah there's no emotion attached to it all and it's mostly just the way he said the way he will let you know everyone who's died

“that's how he does with businesses dead that is okay i will get i will get all right p insert a name”

here from jensen and then 10 minutes later apple news announces the person's dead i'm just walking from from from a convalescent room to convolut just holding people's hands that's dead star

and like i'm putting it yeah i'm putting a mirror in front of them be like okay robber devil's dead

okay we'll say we'll say this started as a bit with you guys like obviously it was funny that i would do it and i'm not gonna say who the celebrities are but Danielle can tell you that in the last two or three months i have known about celebrity deaths before they publicly were announced which is what they've even know that were dead i know i can five minutes oh my god he says reported i'm just hope that when i die he lets you guys know the same way

all right p tan you'll push it tanner on our bodies we'll text our friend you're what yeah

“just i just just happened it just happened that's the other place in the middle of the night”

when i wake up at 2 a.m. from you know the boys yelling our name or something where i can just lean over and write rest in peace robber caradine oh oh that was a tough one revenge and nerds yeah oh god it's so it's almost just like being niceie jense is name like somebody died it's like there we go who is it somebody died or we've got an ad read which one is this someone's death is that i do it's just be already exactly either robber devolus died or we have a better

Hilary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood

and releasing our first record in over 10 years. we talk about what it's taken to grow up in the

entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. it's a raw and honest conversation about identity evolution and building a life that truly matters. you desire in family like this picture and that's not reality a lot of the time it's for people. my sister and i don't speak it's definitely a very painful part of my life and i hope it's not forever but it's for right now. listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your

podcast. in 2023 a story gripped with the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. the nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history.

Lucy leppy has been found guilty but what if we didn't get the full story?

“the moment you look at the whole picture the case collapses. i'm Amanda Knox and in the new podcast”

doubt the case of Lucy leppy we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy leppy was. no voicing of any skepticism are doubt. it'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. listen to doubt the case of Lucy leppy on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. i'm Clayton record and in 2022 i was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

unfortunately it didn't go according to plan. he became the first bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. the internet turned on him. if i could press a button and rewind it all i would. but what happened to Clayton after the show? made even bigger headlines. it began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very

“strange paternity scandal. the media is here. this case has gone viral. the dating contract.”

agreed to date me but i'm also suing you. this is unlike anything i've ever seen before. i'm Stephanie Young. this is love trapped. this season an epic battle of he said she said and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. listen to love trapped on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. there was absolutely no universe where the three of us could close out the boy meets world

episode recaps without welcoming back one of the only faces we saw through the show's entire run.

or at least a face we were always happy to see. he joined the show in season one. a childhood

friend of Michael Jacobs who had already made a career out of writing about TV and movies. boy meets world finally gave him the opportunity to start making some himself. why don't you just move to LA and try it out? turned into seven seasons over 11 scripts with his name on the cover. a producing title and an eventual eminomination for his work on girl meets world. it doesn't matter who we asked to do the podcast. if you worked behind the scenes on boy meets

world and we mentioned Jeff Manell, you smile. this teddy bear not only contributed countless legendary moments to the show including the quintessential and then there was Sean episode,

but he was also a crucial addition to the spirit and well-being of the writer's room.

and he continues to spearhead the camaraderie of the show even 30 years later. he's always a phone call away not only to us but to anyone who shares the IMDB credit of our cult classic TGIF sitcom. I hate to think this term downgrades his importance to the creativity of the show because he was vital to its heartbeat. but if boy meets world had a mascot, it's Jeff Manell. so to talk to us about the end of the show and hopefully answer some questions we have about season

7, a time when he wrote two episodes, the already recapped Angela's men and the soon to be broken down the provider. it's a rare lifeer who worked on more boy meets world episodes than will

“for Dell or Danielle Fischel. it's Jeff Manell. hey guys how are you doing? how are you doing?”

how are you doing? you guys look great. so to you. are you got that the season three boy meets world framed behind. you have got mine too. very important. you. that season three.

I know he's always not the one where Alex is with us. so wasn't didn't Alex Johnson season three.

yeah was he only in one season? one season. yeah. yeah. wow he felt I feel like he was there much longer than that. I know his presence was felt like he was there for longer but no. he was I think we've all decided he was definitely the most underutilized. yeah we still. we did potential for a character on our show. we just didn't really know what to do with him. we've wanted him to add a little cool factor in him. we did. but maybe everyone else looked

less cool because of him. I don't know. it is true that between him and Tony together they had like a real cool 20s guy vibe you know. right. it was like they won episode where they were double dating or whatever. it was like a B story with just them. it's only one. yeah. yeah. one. and it was a good one. he was a great guy. hey I still is a great guy. yeah. yeah. right or it will. we all just actually saw him not that long ago. he came to one of my dancing with the stars

episodes. really. yeah. wasn't that was very sweet of him. he came and we got to spend some time with him.

you did. you always you always send me sweet wonderful supportive emails. I don't get yeah well there's

a reason for my gun. I don't get anything. I got that one letter you sent me that was a handwritten letter that just said hey will then you'd spit and then you'd just put it into thin and that was it. yeah. wow. that's awesome. I'll say it. I've been better with leaving my house. I know you. I know you. that's true. so Jeff. thank you so much for coming back on the podcast. the streets have been talking and they wanted a manel visit before we wrapped up the show recaps. so here we are giving

the people what they want. you could just replay my last visit. no. we're going to. this one goes. all right. good. let's talk about it. we always love seeing you. we actually we are

due to have a lunch. yeah. you guys are busy. I'm busy now, but you know like you. tell us about

your busyness. grandkids. yeah have a grand daughter. they live with us. oh really. yeah. so that's been an event. but it's you know. I won't go too long. your wedding doesn't care about this, but it's great. it's here every morning. she's so much fun. she's really. how old is she now? eight months. oh wow. so yeah. my my grandson's nine months. so they'd be besties. oh man. yeah. let's better have that same that same age. yeah right around there. is she crawling yet? you know. army crawling. yes. yeah.

he started that and then two days later he'd now you can't stop him. he's all over the place. yeah. she can get across the floor but that she doesn't know how to use her knees yet. so she's just she's skittering. she's skittering. she climbed up on me and she's yes. she's very cute. it's nice. it is elevated our lives. so it's nice. that's so fun. yeah. I want to talk to you. what do you remember about season's event? you. well thanks for coming. we've been working on it. I was like

full gents and I go my memory isn't sharp as it was last time and it wasn't that sharp. no. I mean

“I remember you know I mean we knew it was going to be our last season. yeah. uh I believe a”

couple of seasons prior to that. we were worried that was going to be our last season because you were sure Ben wanted to do it anymore. I think he was getting at a moment of thinking. I don't know.

well he was going to college. he got into college and then he deferred for a year. that first

Stanford. yeah yeah. so he was going to leave season six. and you know he knew and we all wanted to wrap it up you know in a in a in a nice way because a lot of shows don't get chance to do that. so so I mean I think we knew early on. I think we knew probably in season two. you guys were going to get married. quarantine to hang up. and this show this season you know. I mean there was a lot more severe. I just watched a bunch of episodes because I have not seen it in three years. yeah. and

the wedding one. I have to say the one in one is just great. that's yeah. you know Sean and Corey's five. you know you're you're like you know who she wants poor. you're so funny. yeah it was a good episode. ten serious moments it was just that. that's great. I was great to see Willie up there.

“I watched a lot of my watch and I go boy I don't remember any of that but this one I of course”

remember and uh but there was some of them that I go oh that's so serious which is why we then did like will in the couch. you want me to count on that yeah and they got for that you know because yeah that was I mean that was ridiculous. oh my gosh that's that was fun though. that was a fun kind of rompy episode but you said that you knew we all knew going in that it was gonna be our last season but we also only got picked up for 13. so was that for the last season yeah well originally we're picked

up for 13 and then we got picked up for our back nine like halfway through the season. are you is that I believe you? why would they only pick us up for 13 episodes for the last season when we were doing so well because we thought we were done yeah we they said that we were only going to do 13 and then Xysrider and I started to do our our fake documentary for the party and then we got picked up for our back nine we got to put it on the kind of the back burner and we got to hold off

for a while. so then I guess my next question is it going to matter which was the last step of the very last step of the season was that originally supposed to be episode 13 I guess was was what I was. well that's a good question. I'm assuming when do we get the back down in order because uh we would have moved everything up if we had no that in the end because the weather was what episode seven I guess right so maybe I wonder if that was going to be the

“end I mean that that would have been a pretty good finale if that was if that's what we had going”

but uh yeah well I feel bad you should be the guest that I will put that one over. I don't remember

with Michael I suppose but um yeah I don't remember when we got the word for the back nine but I'm glad we did because the one who's great with the finale finale the last two partner was you know so necessary and I thought perfect especially you know last scene I mean oh yeah we all

“got to see you guys say goodbye I remember you know starting to tear up a little bit at the memory”

of just watching you guys say goodbye to Fini and we're saying goodbye to the show I mean that's a big big big chunk of my life and I'm just here guys live so uh I glad you guys see a spark enough to give us the full season yes yeah you had taken a really big risk moving out to Los Angeles and you know hoping the show takes off and then it does and then you know seven seasons is obviously what show runners and producers dream of were you still having fun at this point

like do you remember every day going into the office and just even though you knew it was going to be the end and you were ready to wrap it up were you having fun every day every day you know the hours I remember the hours so much like like you know I'm currently 12 hours we're horrible we would have a lot of late nights but I don't remember ever working like on week and some on Sundays but we wait we might have listened yeah it was a lot it was

it I we always had fun the riders room in the riders room was where the most fun but also it

can get really intense and and when you're there late trying to fix a script that wasn't quite working or whatever that's not so much fun but um the the the the dynamic at the rider's table is there's someone's always being made fun of an horrible uh humiliating way that's you know I'm not gonna say it was mostly you get me but you know it was a pretty easy target um so that part was fun you know I mean these are some my closest you know my you know that was my closest

friend of the time Michael and and tishler and all these people terrible uh Barry sat yeah now you have to name everyone be you know right no better name everyone you don't want to get angry taxes I love them all pati Laura Alice Barbie and Erica and Carlos um yeah it was it's the whole room right you didn't you got to just name her you know the crack and directing and rusty directing and Jerry Levine that that season there was a lot of directors I think you know we did yeah I think

Kevin Tracy how one which I was so happy about Steve Steve G1 as well yeah I think I think the season was like all right let's you know spread the wealth and um yeah there was some great episodes and there was you know I did like to stylize one where you guys were talking about the wedding to we know he were talking to and at the end of the episode everybody but not yeah what was that

“look you know no the eye that I did but I do in the episode remember that yeah there was there was”

a screamo so I it felt very satisfying and you know it did feel like it was time for the show and to be honest you know I mean I obviously would I've taken another season sure I had no girls to go you know I like to have it I loved you guys and it was great but it didn't feel like oh man they were pulling the plug on this this was like they gave us the opportunity to do a

great full season and yeah and it could not have ended better I mean iconic so yeah I always feel

like we weren't canceled the show ended yeah those are two very different things in television I would like you got to so few shows first of all in the history television get to go seven seasons and then to have an actual last episode where you get to say goodbye to the audience that's really rare or fight air and television so yeah that's something that was that I always look back is very special too I can think of like five or six shows mostly dramas but a couple of comedy is like

a merit talent where show where the ending was it was just it was just perfect it just really felt right for the audience and for it's big shows too it's sign-filled cheers friends I mean these are the shows that got the actual chance to say goodbye to their audience and it is something that's yeah really special you know I won't tell the size of it there's one show when they got canceled

“I think it was called something like a married dora and they were canceled and like in the first”

season but they they came in and they basically said on air we've just been canceled yes I've seen that yeah

I thought that was really nice to the network to let them do that yeah that's the best work since but next Monday our 2026 iHeart Podcast Awards are happening live and South by Southwest we'll honor the very best in podcasting from the past year and celebrate the most innovative talent and creators in the industry and the winner creativity knowledge and passion

accommodations and registry like it had it was like a full wedding website before wedding websites even existed yeah they just started you know so yeah I think when you're show started it was

when I first got I remember getting a well oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh my god if you do

you'll be well that's it don't have it's just us and my mom i love it color stuffy milling so one of the things that we often talk about are that we're seeing quite a bit and I'm curious if this there was a reason for this if there's any discussion about it but season seven essentially everybody's characters are different to pinga is not a hippie at all anymore there's nothing hippie a hippie a shabouter then is you know kind of like playing an old Jewish man

Eric is out of his tree um so it there's it seems kind of like the characters were a little bit thrown just to pasture and it was kind of let's just go have fun was that an actual discussion

“you remember having or was that just kind of what happened in season seven I think that's kind of”

what happened I think it had something to do with uh you guys your maturity and in human form you know you got a little old you got a little more mature the characters developed it was a little more serious tone to the whole season except for some silliness with you thank god but I mean I know you didn't like being that dumb it's early in like season four or five but having that element to rely on like I mean thank god for some bee stories that were just

sort of ridiculous you know lucky penny and right you jumping out of the picture and yeah you know and but no there was nothing like hey let's make the world different though there was none of that it's also this is how you guys performed I mean you know it's what what you brought to the table was you you were a little more mature as performers and as actors and your characters were so well developed I think you can maybe go a little further than you used to also know as last season maybe

it's just a natural thing just right you know yeah how's it like you freer yeah have fun but I mean

was there ever any pushback did anybody in the room ever say like to ping it would never have

a southern plantation wedding I'm sure that was said you know I'm sure there's there's always the tension and discussion you know Michael always wins you know what I mean whatever was whatever happened on there meant that at some point Michael goes this is what I want you know I mean right or someone did talk me to it and maybe he regretted afterwards but you know the southern plant days thing I I don't know what that was about that was just to have ugly

right something stupid and him is that everyone will hate the dresses but it's a little bit and wedding craziness time so you know you guys always asked me about the discussions we're had

“I don't remember me discussions you know I'm thinking about lunch most of the way I honestly”

and then to get the run through and what time are we going if you order dinner that means it's gonna be a horrible night you know these are we ordered dinner oh no I did you okay so did you know during run through whether or not you'd be ordering dinner well we would have a little side bet a lot of times we would say we're a great shape I mean you know the network love that

was only half hour so we go oh we're in good shape and then yeah if we go up and he goes all right let's

“get let's see the menus we were all going oh my god but then we'd order something good”

um cook and then the cookers you can tell you know and if Michael had something to do here's the one beautiful thing about season 7 that the other writers are grateful to me and Barry and me, Michael and Barry and Bob Tishner start playing tennis doubles tennis and he would want to go play during the week and so if the group needs an halfway good shape we'd come back to do a half hour we were right oh I love to go play tennis the other writers kept saying wow look

in a beautiful tennis weather out there you know and uh that's where our characters were thrown out the window we'll have to answer there it is tennis it was just like do we need to figure out why this character's doing that dad let's just go play to game no it's not a cloud in the sky let's go play tennis I got that is the answer better I lost a few pounds good for your health your mental health just that's a fine deal yeah thank the show

but the show is off anyway it's going to let's just go play some tennis but you know season we have six brilliant seasons I just see you guys all wearing like those little sweat bands and you know and it's just like getting them oh yep let's go away I love tennis now oh yeah well yeah I didn't look too good but you know they yeah I bet you did I love tennis mano wow oh I love that did you ever write a full length horror movie script I feel like that would have been something you

had your eyes set on every hiatus uh well thank you because the screen you mean the screen up the so yeah well actually before I came out to win me as well that run a it was a serial killer

movie that was really really really dark and I sent it to Michael I was never trying to get a

job on one of the shows I just he was yeah so when I knew what Hollywood and could give you constructive feedback yeah yeah but he that one he I remember he liked them but he tried to turn into a weird comedy and I said no it was just to kill that baby you know it was very very smart killing the baby nice when it's all in me it's natural progression but since then no I've written just a couple dark comedies but nothing nothing really horror I know it is funny that episode I told you

“I think I wrote it in the day but I pretend I took me two weeks Michael got mad and he goes how far”

I go I'm almost done to go well you better not be like I know I'm kidding I was done that one just that was fun and easy to write but when I could talk about that one right now I read another was I've been working 10 years on one movie well on those with that's like right or those with that so I mean I keep tweaking it but nothing's gonna happen it's more for me at this point wow I'm retired I'm happy I expect nothing to happen right or want to read it I do what yeah

is it is it is it a comedy yeah I'll talk off the I'm not saying we could do a podcast library we could all take apart yes we could we could do you guys I would that would be kind of cool because you guys are real acts but I told you the writers used to read the parts in the room yeah I was horrible it's definitely not that was good actor Mike which part were you did

you have a part it was never the same it's like you know ever the writers said they do the

cast you play this part you know I don't know you were Lily's Morgan but not Lindsay's no comment on that I was whoever wasn't in the script that week that's the right

“we could but yeah all right I'll send it to you if you want to read it sure yes it's a”

take off on it's a wonderful life so I'll leave it at that oh you mentioned killing a baby in the script which we two question about the baby on our show I told they brought up the fourth kid on the one of the episodes watching I forgot yes so did we so why did we spend so much of season six focused on the pregnancy the baby the birth the emotions the growing family the changes and then season seven it was like

everyone was like that was a terrible idea right we throw a baby into the mix why is the baby just gone maybe I am assuming the writers begged okay I mean it was a very serious you know you know I'm sure that was Michael Michael yeah Michael has a lot of them it would replicate life you

yeah for sure Michael had that situation so you know I mean sometimes you also just maybe

to come up some new story lines maybe maybe in Betsy having a baby maybe that's interesting probably thought that could be interesting I really wasn't you know having a baby on set you either have a doll right it looks so fake and you're dealing with that or you're dealing with really specific hours and yeah you know on set like you know all this thing of course regarding yeah M&M rattles all this time stuff although we just watched an episode where we did have another baby

yes the neighbor woman shows up with a baby and that was a real baby and then Michael's kid came in

“well all of Michael's kids were in the season yeah that's why they all existed so they”

come up with all of them yeah all of them well who not Danny Danny wasn't I think he was too young was or maybe who plays the kid in the hallway who says I see dead people that's Danny yeah so Joshua he's Joshua at the end yeah which is very confusing for our viewers I guess because they're like why does he care who is the scene dead people come back as the baby brother why is the baby five yeah like a year I listen I don't know you know just be grateful we we didn't focus on that in season

seven because it didn't lead to a lot of content yeah you're right having a baby is yeah agreed and you're right it is funny I didn't even think about the fact that like Michael wanting the Matthew's family to have four kids because his family had four kids yeah okay then was Michael you know I mean you know it just it lent itself to some stories I suppose yeah I'm glad we got rid of the baby yeah yeah yeah we were so happy you and you mentioned him as well

to see Willie Garcin in the wedding episode we were wondering if you just had any fun stories or anecdotes about Willie or his relationship with Michael or you know we we love him and every time we've seen him on the show it's been joyous to see so we we love Willie stories I love Willie

anytime I see him on anything I just I always go ah Willie you know being Matt saw him we were

at a me Matt what to see a movie and all of some we see Willie and his son come out and we just thought for about an hour you know I mean just so Willie it was just a great presence you know and he was such a great character he was not unlike the character he plays so he's just such a nice

“love little guy I knew him I think I told you this it's weird my my parents but his parents house”

and jersey but this is before Willie was even born so so I knew his parents before Willie was born I didn't know Willie so much as a kid until he came out here but he's been friends with Michael forever you know and he came out and he said such he had such a great career just it was so sad he was I didn't know he was sick when when I got the word Matt texted me you know he was Willie passed away and what we and we just seen him I know he didn't have a sick so it's just

this guy I mean on sex in the city and just see so many other things he was just great yeah he's special he feels like a little bit of a good luck charm for boy me too you know he was yeah I mean I love having one of the show and he directed an episode to I don't avoid but he did have a girl he did a girl yeah yeah and you know when he worked for Alan at the story he was just he's just funny just he just said and he would come up to the writer's room a lot

because he was just so comfortable you know which is sort of St. Christine you know but Willie mean and it was like I don't know if you pitch but he would just sit there and bring a good energy so yeah I love the guy miss him that's cool yeah now at this point in season seven you had seen many writers come and go the core originals are even long gone but Menel remains was it like a prison yard did people have to bring you cigarettes to survive but you know what was what

was the feeling like in the room yeah yeah I mean well some of us were there for a long time yeah yeah I was there right from day one but mostly and you know this is going to sound

self-depregating I just had no aspirations you know I never wanted to be like I don't know

“people did that honestly you know when they came out here I was like to be a TV right”

and I was just so happy to have the job and every time we got picked up you know you said that I fund every day no there was a lot of misery and a lot of dysfunction and a lot of you know just weird stuff that will never be disclosed but I told you in the writer's room the writer's no more about you than my wife does honestly they know certain stories they would never get revealed to your your mate just because that's the way it is so new people came in and it was

writer it was people left mostly on their own accord occasionally some people just weren't

“brought back but every year the writer's room was like oh that's a great right I am like”

oh this is great writer's I mean obviously the original for me was I was so new and everyone was like so experienced and I was just happy to have to be accepted and the the final writers were I mean now you know that was there a tishler at the I'm around the green name everyone but that group yeah great group yeah and everyone they were all good writers and we all were we're all in a group by that point you know what what to do with the the characters and we had dynamics and you know

whenever we want to you know Mike we had a role going and the Michael goes on going to go take

this call we go oh no there goes all momentum there was there was all the you know shared misery

enjoy and love and you know but there was a real probably more bonding on the final season just because knowing well this is really yet you know and so I'm like to see these people every day for a while and it was a long while before I saw any of them you know I know you loved everybody but over the years since you were there for the entire time who was the writer you were saddest to see leave well that's a good question well I mean obviously when my you know

I was close friends you know with Howard and Mark you know but I mean I knew they were I knew they were gonna leave at some point just because they were they were really they were on the train right I mean doing well this guy was I guess maybe not brought back after and he was such a funny interesting guy and I really liked him and he had he had he he he was an experienced writer I forget what she'll have been on we brought he brought a really unique quirky did not fit in so well

with the home rest of the room but I for me that was a charm and he he was really so nice we tried to

make me vegetarian one day and I got sick oh never worked you got sick for we had a vegetarian restaurant

“me even powered and I actually got sick but anyway that's what happened when you tried to eat vegetarian”

that's why he he he he wants to dress up as a chicken because the people from cuckoo room were coming to visit us because we ordered from them so much the present of cuckoo came oh my god Glenn was walking down behind us on the wall with a sign saying you know save chickens and how do we know this guy I love this guy I think like was outweighs we were sort of in awe he had such nerve oh this is not a story this is Glenn versus Tony so we're we're writing

this used to be in Bob Young's office this year for whatever we were writing Bob Young we come back we go out I think we had lunch at the commerce here we come back and Glenn is in there and he just has like a girl sitting with him on the couch does it explain it like a if wanted date to the writer's room it was like oh no no what to do with it he's hitting him we're all going really she oh and this is she left her an hour and but he was saying he was really

did she think of I I want to imagine like did she go all right guys by it was good and you guys really why we all look at Glenn I don't think anyone really dressed like what was that he was just really funny so I she had and said that that he was God I haven't really spoken to him since but he was he was he only there for one season yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean obviously if the chicken costume sealed the deal with my phone like I was like how dare you ruin my chances with the

“president of kukuru oh that's kukuru three times a week honestly oh we remember kukuru is”

forever boy meets world memory for me I hear if they're bringing it back what do they still exist that no it doesn't exist for a long time is that I just in your dreams or where did you actually know everything and kukuru I did I hurt I don't you don't have to prove it okay I do I do you do okay I'm waiting for gen to tell me because I know jensen was one of the jensen was one of the people I think who had read it actually jensen said Glenn Mercer looks like he did two seasons

he did seasons two and three he had two in season two and one in season three okay okay I'll so he laid the season two and came right there okay that's right and kukuru announced get clocking ready let me here I go what the clock you mean what the clock and it's been a year so I'm I've been clocking ready this entire time I'm gonna be clocking pissed if this doesn't happen come on Glenn Mercer wrote a book all about food food is climate

Glenn Mercer then yes so yeah and he's written like a health books oh we should have him on our side yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm curious what his take on I'm more of his role was especially you know we were we look at this and he's looking ready though that was a year ago and all the

any of dates so it's been it was 2024 when they announced that I distinctly remember the flavor

“of kukuru that I was amazing I can remember that I don't think of other food success completely agree”

I don't know what that is I can taste it and I'm not only one of those people were like smells or tastes bring me back necessarily to a moment I can taste it and it's it's spectacular yeah yeah 100% rest of this podcast talking about food because I have let's get the menu let's get dinner let's get dinner let's get dinner okay I know Jen's and talk to you about this while prepping this show and we wanted to know what the couch scene the tag what the couch scene was supposed

to be had we not all ruined it and like us you have no idea I should have looked up the

old script I'm sure I have it somewhere but obviously I knew we were you know well that was

the crazy episode with Eric yes jumping out of the painting and you know it just kept building and building building we had to some wait I just assumed it was going to be just a scare the hell out of those guys and then jumping off and and that was going to be it but yeah we'll have a trouble getting off the couch and because we're just led to I couldn't I couldn't get my legs out

“that's what everybody always asked me like what started it and you see me just trying to get up and”

yeah it was velcroed yes so I'm like in this thing and the bottom half from like waste down is velcroed and I don't think we obviously didn't rehearse with it throughout the week can I also say something your arms are inside the couch at the same time you can't lift you can't use anything for leveraged out yourself up that's all core strength and I got none of that so it was like trying to kick my legs out and then as I'm trying to get up I almost fall into

everybody you can see me like writer like takes a step back and so because of that then by the time I stood up I was done like I was just getting up with such a chore so I knew we were getting off the couch I was going to break right there but then it came back but then then I think there was so I don't think we ever got to whatever was originally really well as trying to do. We were the same go. I mean I honestly that there's no way of knowing that right I just want to remember

ever seeing what the finale was I'll find the original script to see what it was supposed to be. Well that I mean that was our question is do you think Michael would have let us leave without at least getting one take all the way through yeah what was it when was the decision made you know what this is better than any trying to piece me out of the building because you know when when you go to any you know they let's see every take and of course the probably was only one take

that you got laughing this sucked yeah we just probably probably just let's just I think it's the only show we ever did out takes yes actually no there was one other with with with Michael's kid Michael's kid so yeah in honey moon is over with Danny it gets out takes the tag is out takes of him saying I see dead people and then looking out and going I did it yeah you guys laughing out there I was I was just laughing because it was just so much fun to see I just love I love break with people

break up I love how deep yeah we do too it's so much fun but do you remember it being fun on the night or was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was the audience we were treated what it's a leaf treated like treenus she had a flight and she was ready to go and she was not happy yeah she's the only one who doesn't laugh through the whole number because that's true I'm gonna realize I have somewhere to go and a plane to catch and she was like

guys get it together but then that pressure only made it harder for my first like that's exactly yeah I can't laugh of course you could laugh I mean yeah that was great I love I love that no I don't remember I'm sure we loved it I don't care yeah at that point on tape night you know there

tell us done you know and that's I never once fell off tape night took forever it that's the

fun night the energy of the audience and and and when you guys laugh the audience last that's just the greatest thing so now I'm sure we loved every moment of the except for treenus yeah treenus like I need to get on this plane please yeah actual places to be exactly do you remember the season seven rap party I remember if I'm trying to remember where what do you remember what my word was we were wondering I don't remember it wasn't at denim and diamonds no that was season two okay no I'm two

“I remember that one wait let me think what it was I do remember we all took so many photos together”

and it was it was bad I don't I have no idea what I don't I showed our video so there was a

was something that was on third street prom and I remember I went to see a movie before then it was

goodwill hunting so that's the final if goodwill hunting came out to you know we rap it was so we're down there when you went and you went to a movie right before the rap party yeah I like I want to do it but I think I might have been the final I feel like it would have been a big to do right I mean yeah that's I don't know I have zero memory of any aspect of it so I remember pre-party because I remember writer and I specifically going to Barney's because there were two people who didn't

spend a lot of money on clothes so we went to Barney's and like did it right we each bought two

our money suits oh really and yeah we were like we styled it for the party you know suits for the

rap party oh yeah like fly suits too one of them was so mothred night I think I threw away last year

“and it was this exact shirt yeah here you go so I remember that and I remember us showing our video”

there but I don't remember that where we went yeah you know I could find out but I don't remember there was a big outdoor driveway thing going up to it because Michael then opened the trunk of his car at the end and had watches for everybody oh and I remember me he had enlisted me to help hand out and they were like he opened the back of his car and they were like a hundred watchers or whatever it was

how much did he charge you yeah exactly yeah they were very nice I still have mine of course

I still have mine too I have born in in 30 years with me either yeah so and it has for a good time Michael on the back yep and he was so I remember handing up so I don't think it was the promenade because his car was parked like right in front of the venue all right but kind of I would have laid out and I will give out okay I know there was one year where we did it at an arcade we had a promenade at like a we did it one of the yeah it was like one of those places it has like gocarts

and an arcade and um batting cages it was one of those places in the valley like that we don't press it probably it was magic castle not magic it was what's the camera is that the one that's on them a lot yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I do remember one I hope this was the rap party this was seen the rap party or a crystal party was that like Hollywood billiards oh yeah oh yeah remember that I have we have pictures of Adam Scott at the Adam billiards party yeah I have a case of hiccups

that wouldn't go away I had to go the ER so I missed that one hiccups what was it 24 hour in case

“of the hiccups to just not go away have you eaten vegetarian food that's what it was no meat”

I don't know what it was I'm in my store I went to the ER and I just had hiccup I gave me a shot of Thorzene which you didn't eat and then I went home and they started up again so I missed that part oh god hey I'm sorry sure for that size to me questions I'm so many questions how is this not an Eric storyline this doesn't look like an Eric any questions I couldn't make it to the Cory to beg his wedding because of hiccups did it go away at so the Thorzene

and then it started again when you got home so I got home they stopped immediately yeah Thorzene is like anti-sacadica the nurse goes we don't know why this works but it does it just goes it's gonna hurt and did but it stopped immediately I went home and as soon as I got home they started up again but I slept it's all right oh my god wait for hours wow I know that's one of the

“apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts ok this is a question that i think is i the”

you're the first person we're asking of this and i i'm excited for your answer if you had to build

out the behind the scenes mount rush more for boy meets world who's heads you put on it come on i'm not doing that come on i think i'm in the cast no no i'm not a man well yeah of course michael jacos yep um well it's good i mean it's gonna sound like you know i don't want to be more of it but you know i've put our lean racing because she was you know the very first producer got us going yeah

yeah ray cold core you know the music i mean and now you're going to make you want to pull willy up there too because it's a great homage that you know but i'm being there's so many people behind the scenes i you know i mean i love all our camera you know ray low i love all our camera guys but but camera came with such a great yes i mean we had rustle

mockery and say all the craft service people hey for we have to be up there i think oh hey of course hey for i mean yeah you know you know dv i mean there's just kind of rust i mean because rustie was from the camera who's all this behind the scenes but that was a little bit more i guess on grommet's real but yeah how about we just put four of michael's to make up michael his kids that'll make him well yeah that's a great answer you still talk to michael right you still talk to michael

yeah um he has he listened to you on our show and has he come at you with any like no no this is what actually happened that next time you go on talk to them about this you turned me he's

“turned me on the show i think he was pretty happy with it i i don't think he said i said anything”

uh wrong historically because honestly i think you know when if i said if i don't know something right when i remember he's not you know i don't have the brulatman memory or michael memory of everything i remember you know a lot of great moments but yeah i don't i don't think he said you know vanilla you're an idiot that didn't know notes you got no notes that's impressive that's impressive i know i think uh which is good because that's rare i get nervous on these things as you know

i know and you're so good you're so so good thanks maybe not a Mount Rushmore name but can you think of any unsung heroes like you mentioned raleo which we've talked about our camera guys but

like someone like that we have never interviewed one of our camera people we tried uh Brian Mackenzie

i who is was one of our i think season one camera operators um who i work a lot with now as a director but uh even you mentioning uh Glenn Merzer like that's you know are there any other names that we haven't shined a light on yet that you think we should someone an unsung hero from the BTS of boy meets world well that's a good question there's just so many people

“i know um Carlos would have first of all Carlos is interested because you know he was i think”

he started as the crackings assistant i mean yeah he really yeah he's been on all different sides and we can then they wrote like a freelance episode and they came in the room Carlos is a real character may he's he's the coolest dude but when i first started there i was a little afraid of because he had he was like so confident like you know he was so sick of rioters uh and but he was really so when you went and Carlos over you felt like you were in um people there from the beginning

yeah till the end and different and different capacities uh you know uh it's just a lot of a lot of people anybody that came through you know you know another there's another rioter who passed away but Judy told you that Terry is great actually was funny she was fun and you know what was your favorite season of the show that's a great question i mean probably the first just

because i was i my first TV writing job i couldn't i i i i never lost the thrill the the whole season

even even with horrible moments and getting yelled at and having scripts thrown out and this that the novelty for me growing up loving tv and movie so much being on the sound stage where Mary Poppins was shot yeah no sharing in office with Jeff Sherman who's father on the Sherman Rose i mean i was like thrown into this world i'm just being on the Disney lot yeah and it was a magic it really it was it was it was unbelievably magical for me you know but

in a room with William Daniel so you know i i can't believe i'm even talking to that guy so that that was as far as fun goes as far as quality goes um i don't know if i could have pick one season you're certainly episodes that you know we had great fun you know like uh uh you know Cory wolf you know and stuff like that and that's a bloody busking episode and you know and the final two and the set last season and just you know i happen to my name is on this one but i

“love when era was the weatherman you know that was yeah i was on that yeah just i think there's”

there's just a lot of great moments every every season it was never like a season like i know you
