You can’t revisit the ‘90s without calling Jonathan Lipnicki! Between Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little, he defined two of the most iconic characters of the decade, and now he’s ready to share some memories with Danielle, Will and Rider. Jonathan talks about launching his acting career at just five years old, learning how to read screenplays (while also learning how to read in general) and the lengths he took to protect his valuable face while playing sports in school. And when looking for Tom Cruise, Jonathan does NOT disappoint. I mean, do you even know about the “Tom Cruise cake?” So catch up with the only actor in Hollywood who co-starred with a CGI mouse AND has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - right here on Pod Meets World!

Even though they are clearly reality TV experts already, Will and Rider are always on the pursuit of a higher education, so they’ve called in Chad Kultgen, a true connoisseur of the medium, and the author of “How to Win The Bachelor,” to help explain some important strategies to victory. Chad breaks down the jaw-dropping backstory of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and reveals his pitch for the “ideal” dating show. Find out why Chad considers The Traitors the best reality show ever created, what decisions can lead to victory and why Will calls Chad “reality TV Yoda,” as we call in the big guns, for Pod Meets Twirl’d: Traiting Places!

It’s time for the final Round Table, but Will and Rider aren’t ready to leave the castle as they recap the penultimate episode of The Traitors Season 4. Mark Ballas may be a ballroom legend, but our hosts have some hard truths about how he’s played the game. Will reveals why Rob is still the “smart” Traitor, but Rider is shocked that Maura hasn’t caught onto his strategy. But he still has hope she can pull ahead and win the entire show.

We’ve made it. The wedding episode is upon us. Reliving the moment of Topanga walking down the aisle was emotional for Danielle, Will and Rider, but what did the gang REALLY think of the episode?? We RSVP’d to the ceremony with warranted trepidation, but it might just be the perfect balance of funny and sentimental. However… why haven’t we explored more of Angela?? And at this point, who is the “boy” of Boy Meets World? Cory… or Shawn? Plus, the gang looks back on their own real-life weddings, and we find out what they would change if they could do it all over.

Adam Pally is a comedy favorite, but more importantly, he’s Danielle’s kids' favorite actor. But before he became a fixture in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe, Adam was a struggling student, trying to find his comedic voice and obsessing over a woman who would later share his last name. Listen as Adam shares his most embarrassing teenage stories - and reveals just how bad a student you can be and still end up in Iron Man 3. From “Happy Endings” to “The Mindy Project” to "The Mandalorian," Adam has always been hard to pin down - that is unless it's a brand new Teen Beat!
