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.”   Rider takes us back to his Y2K party in the Redwood Shire, which Danielle missed due to the world’s best excuse: she was in Hawaii with *NSYNC and Britney Spears. And Danielle shares a memory that’s right on the tip of her tongue...   Eric’s lucky penny can’t save the plot while Will, Danielle and Rider experience group cringe when we enter the “pookie pook” zone…   Plus, the gang explores some of the best jingles of all time (we apologize in advance), right here on Pod Meets World!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things are heating up on Teen Beat…specifically to 98 Degrees! Drew Lachey sits with Danielle to talk about his time in the inferno that was Y2K boy band mania.   But before the platinum records and Mariah Carey collaborations, Drew had a completely different life as a combat medic and New York City EMT. So how exactly did he go from fixing hearts to breaking them?   Plus, he breaks down the horrors of home renovation, his memories winning the second Mirrorball in DWTS history AND the time he bro-sat a young Danielle Fishel during MTV Spring Break in Cancun, right here on an all-new, frosted tip Teen Beat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baywatch is coming back - and so is Cody Madison, a.k.a. David Chokachi! But first, he’s here to rescue Pod Meets World!!   David shares his red swimsuit origin story, and reveals what it’s like working with the legend that is David Hasslehoff (you never hassle the ‘Hoff).    But Baywatch is more than just another TV show, as David explains how it helped save lives in real life, thanks to some hidden CPR training between plot lines.    So watch out, and avoid the rip tide - it’s a new Pod Meets World!

And 2 guys becoming experts. The tribe has spoken once again on Pod Meets Twirl’d: Seeking Immunity!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 really just craves a good yelling.    Could this have been the end of the series!

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. And sure, Eric’s plan may involve poisoning Morgan, but even with so little to work with, Will can’t stop being funny.   Plus, the gang realizes they might be becoming their grandparents, so load up on hard candy and bring a blanket, for Part 1 of our Season 7 recap on Pod Meets World! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.   Plus, a listener shares an embarrassing story about an accidental chat with a crush, and we find out if Danielle can survive a Bella Buster, when they jump off the top rope for a brand new Teen Beat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
