We’ve finally made it out of the ‘90s and we’ve welcomed in a new millennium!

The recap continues with a deep dive into what could have been when it comes to Shawn's absentee mom.    The episode also takes a trip to Seinfeld-land with some scenes on a familiar New York Street, but that comes with its own acting challenges thanks to a rare empty soundstage.   The rules of ghost logic get in the way of a touching moment with Chet, and we find out that Shawn rea...

Alan might be expecting a birthday party, but the real surprise will is their feelings about this season 7 episode!   It’s the return of leather jacket Shawn, but it’s some other repressed memories that have Rider reeling.

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

But, the random cameo does remind Rider of his own spear fishing expedition that someh...

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.
