It is hard to believe that nearly 3 years ago, the Boys set out to rewatch and podcast their way through Boy Meets World. And today they find themselves at the start of season 7. Due to some technical issues, the second part of the season 6 reboot will need be rerecorded and released at a later time. Thanks for understanding! Join us once again as we get started on season 7.

In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as "real" or "true", specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not staged. This allows for a real investment in the characters and events within the sport while downplaying the staged nature of the events (which are not actually staged because kayfabe tells us they are not).As we begin season 7 in earnest and not as a hilarious prank that made everyone laugh, it is clear that some element of kayfabe has infiltrated the world of Boy Meets World. Some of this is through the literal presence of wrestler Mankind and maybe the strangest moment in Boy Meets World to date. But at the same time, things are starting to feel a bit off, but rather than acknowledge the fact that season 7 of Boy Meets World is in some ways going against all of the characters and not really doing the things that we know the show does well, we are just joining in the Boy Meets World kayfabe and are along for the ride.Join us for the kayfabe as we rewatch episodes 701 and 702 "Show Me the Love" and "For Love and Apartments".Did I say kayfabe enough times?

In 2002, the world was in deep despair. There was war, economic turmoil, and sorrow after sorrow. The president choked on a pretzel, U2 performed the halftime show at the Super Bowl, Rudy Guiliani received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth. Trouble was all around us and fear was never far away. But one man, one brave man, knew just what the world needed to make things good again. Dana Carvey released his magnum opus, Master of Disguise. Despite critical and audience revulsion to the film (if you could call it that) the world began to heal, just a bit.None of that would have been possible without this episode of Boy Meets World, episode 703, "Angela's Men" (probably) in which Eric disguises himself as many different things in a attempt to exact revenge of Topanga for beating him up. There is also a wonderful story about Angela and dealing with trauma and all of those things, but also Eric pretends to be the farmer in American Gothic.

I (Cameron) was planning to go into a long diatribe here about how sports betting worked as it is relevant to today's episode and Chance gets into it a little on the episode but I honestly cannot wrap my head around it or find it all that interesting, so instead I am going to continue to unpack how Eric Matthews helped define the early 2000's film industry with a look at the 2000 classic Bring It On starting Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union.Once again, just as he did with Master of Disguise, Eric Matthews seems to be predicting major cinema moments before they happen as he portrays a sleazy cheerleader looking up the skirts of the cheerleaders he lifts into the air. I am not sure if this is merely coincidence at this point. Have I been making signal when there has been only noise for 6 full seasons now and my brain is broken? Will I ever truly find happiness outside of making seemingly random connections between things that don't actually exist? I must scream, for I do not know.Join us as we rewatch season 7 episode 4 "No Such Thing as a Sure Thing."

Every once in a while, something comes along that completely enraptures you and you cannot help but talk about it. Sometimes two things come along that complete enrapture you and you cannot help but talk about them both. Today is one of those day.Join the Boys as they rewatch and discuss Boy Meets World season 7 episode 5 "You Light Up My Union". Come for the Boy Meets World discussion, stay for the Brotato tips (referred to a Brotato Tots) and the discussion about the 2016 animated film "Your Name" which is probably the best thing ever.

Mawage. Mawage is what bwings us togethah today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam wifin a dream!Cory and Topanga have come here to make this tweasured agweement in front of their family and fwiends, pwomising their commitment in this holy and magnificent pwace, today and each day fowawd.We would not be here today without wuv. Wuv, twoo wuv between these two. Twoo wuv will follow you forevah, so tweasure your wuv, Cory and Topanga, always. Join the Boys for a special double episode as we rewatch "They're Killing Us" and "It's About Time". We say goodbye (hopefully) to sex pest Cory and meet the "Jack is hot" storyline. Also, Cameron develops a potty mouth.

In this week's episode "The Honeymooners" Cory and Topanga visit a fictional Hawaii like place. Here are some tips from GoHawaii.com1. One of the most rewarding aspects of visiting Hawaiʻi is engaging with our unique and vibrant way of life. To truly experience it, cultural experts advise adopting an open heart and an open mind. When you follow their tips for doing so, you'll better understand the Hawaiian perspective, appreciate what makes these islands so special and deepen your immersion into our life-changing culture. 2. Take time to learn about the culture, values and etiquette of Hawaiʻi. You'll have a much better understanding of the islands and a more authentic experience here. 3. The ʻāina (land) and the moana (ocean) are a part of the fabric of our culture and people. They are part of our home. And like any home, including your own, we hope that you will treat them with respect. Please ask for permission before entering any area designated as kapu (forbidden) or not expressly open to the public. Going "off the beaten path" is not an excuse for trespassing or disrespecting Hawaiʻi's communities and culture.4.When you support local businesses, you help our distinctive local communities flourish and maintain their authentic character. Please choose restaurants and businesses that source from local suppliers and choose sustainable certified operators.You can find many more tips about ethically visiting Hawaii and surely many other pacific islands and really most other cultures over at GoHawaii.com and if you are planning to visit Hawaii or other pacific islands, a call to the Chamber of Commerce or other local body would be a great place to start finding out how to do so in the best way.

Well it looks like "The Honeymoon is Over" this week on Boy Meets World Fever. Cory and Topanga discover just how "hard" marriage is and move into a slum. Just like Cory and Topanga need to, it is important if you are renting a house or apartment, that you know just what your rights are as a tenant. So here is some helpful information from the legal website Findlaw.comAnti-Discrimination LawsUnder the Federal Fair Housing Act, landlords may not discriminate against current or prospective tenants on the basis of their race, gender, sexual orientation, familial status, religion, ethnicity, national origin, or disability. This applies to advertisements that exclude any of those protected characteristics. Some states also extend these protections to other protected classes, as well.The Right to a Habitable HomeA "habitable home" is a house or apartment that is reasonably fit to live in. This means your rental should be free from unsafe conditions, such as the following:Bad electrical wiringLack of running waterFaulty floorsInfestation of rats, cockroaches, or other pestsMoldBroken doorsLeaking or unstable ceilingsKeep in mind that most state laws prohibit landlords from adding language in the lease to "waive" this right.Security Deposits: Limits and DeadlinesMost landlords require tenants to pay a security deposit upon signing the lease, which is then returned to the tenant after the lease term ends (minus any money needed for reasonable repairs, cleaning, or unpaid rent). However, most states have laws that place limits on how much of a deposit a landlord may require and how soon it must be refunded at the end of a lease. Keep in mind that tenants may have to pay an additional deposit for pets or other factors considered that are considered liabilities.Tenant's Right to PrivacyJust because the landlord owns the building you're renting doesn't give them the right to enter your unit whenever they like. As a tenant, you have the right to a reasonable level of privacy and quiet enjoyment of the property. There may be times when the landlord needs to access your rental property to do a repair or check something, but they are generally required to give you notice beforehand.Landlords also have the right to conduct reasonable background checks into a prospective tenant's credit history and crime records.On our show we sometimes make silly claims alongside Boy Meets World like "Don't Join the Mob" or "Don't Join a Cult" but in all seriousness, if you do find yourself in unsafe or unlivable housing, know your rights and reach out to others in your community to get help either improving your situation or getting the heck out. I know that is easy to say in a podcast description and harder to do in practice, but remember, unlike Cory and Topanga seem to, you have people in your life that care about you and want good things for you and will help you out in times of trouble and hardship, at least I really hope you do.You can also file a complaint with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development at this link https://shorturl.at/puF18

You ever hear a phrase and you just instantly know it is the worst thing ever? Well that is the title of this episode and several excruciating minutes within. Why is it here? You just need to ask the writers of Boy Meets World about it. Chance gave up Hamilton tickets to be here and this is how they repay him.

M*A*S*H (an acronym for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) is an American war comedy drama television series that aired on CBS from September 17, 1972 to February 28, 1983. It was developed by Larry Gelbart as the first original spin-off series adapted from the 1970 feature film M*A*S*H, which, in turn, was based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. The series, which was produced with 20th Century Fox Television for CBS, follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the "4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital" in Uijeongbu, South Korea, during the Korean War (1950–53). (straight from the Wikipedia)M*A*S*H is a show that really does it all. It runs the gamut of whimsy (Corporal Klinger and his antics, Hawkeye makes up a Captain and hijinks ensue) to very serious (the whole cast had very weird dreams in one episode about the effects of the war on their minds, Hawkeye and Trapper help a soldier realize that he is horribly racist and needs to get over that real quick and stop being terrible). It is an incredible show that ran for so long and is absolutely worth watching again and again. Even 40 years later, the finale is still the most watched non-live television program, even beating out the OJ verdict.Oh yeah, Boy Meets WorldThe Boys get ready to dive into another episode of Boy Meets World this week as they rewatch "What a Drag." Was it actually a drag? I guess you will have to listen to find out.Also Cameron finally did the math, and Cory bought over 7 million cubic centimeters of cork. No way that is fitting in their apartment.

The Boys took two attempts to record their episode about Family Trees. This is what survived the first attempt. No, it is not at all about Shawn and his family and the tangled webs and shattered relationships that make up his character history. No, that would make too much sense. Here you will find Cameron doing a power ranking of the final musical numbers from the Illumination jukebox musical Sing. Yes the talking/singing animal movie from the people that cursed us with Minions. Yeah, we aren't really sure why either. But enjoy!

The rain gently spattered against the window of the coffee shop. She sat there, steaming latte on the table next to her, Walt Whitman's song of myself in her hand. She read"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."There was a gentle ding as the doors to the shop opened and a man stepped in. His hair was short cropped on the sides and long on top. He wore a western shirt with a bolo tie, very out of place in the New England coffee shop. He had an easy smile and easily commanded the room. But his eyes, oh his soft blue eyes, they told a different story all together. This was a man who had been hurt time and time again. A man who had hurt, maybe intentionally, maybe not, time and time again. The mischevious glint was an invitation, a dare, maybe it will work out, maybe it won't, but why not roll the dice and find out. He ordered a coffee and sat down at the table with her. Noticing that she had been staring at her since the moment he walked in, he decided to strike up a conversation."Hi," he said, voice raspy and world weary, despite his young appearance. "I'm Chet Hunter.""Elaine McGinty," she replied. "Nice to meet you Chet."_____________Shawn woke from his day dream. He knew it would not have been the way they met, the way his true mother really was. But maybe that false reality was just a little bit better than the truth. Maybe that comfortable lie was just a bit easier than the harsh reality. His father, gone, just a memory. His mother, never there to begin with.Join the Boys today with their guest, Luke Garrison, as they rewatch "Family Trees"

WARNING!!!! This episode contains a couple spoilers for Across the Spiderverse, skip to 6:12 if you want to miss those.THAT IS ALL!!!!Apropos of nothing, here is how you play Solitaire according to bicyclecards.comThe PackVirtually all Solitaire games are played with one or more standard 52-card packs. Standard Solitaire uses one 52-card pack.Object of the GameThe first objective is to release and play into position certain cards to build up each foundation, in sequence and in suit, from the ace through the king. The ultimate objective is to build the whole pack onto the foundations, and if that can be done, the Solitaire game is won.Rank of CardsThe rank of cards in Solitaire games is: K (high), Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A (low).The DealThere are four different types of piles in Solitaire:The Tableau: Seven piles that make up the main table.The Foundations: Four piles on which a whole suit or sequence must be built up. In most Solitaire games, the four aces are the bottom card or base of the foundations. The foundation piles are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs.The Stock (or “Hand”) Pile: If the entire pack is not laid out in a tableau at the beginning of a game, the remaining cards form the stock pile from which additional cards are brought into play according to the rules.The Talon (or “Waste”) Pile: Cards from the stock pile that have no place in the tableau or on foundations are laid face up in the waste pile.To form the tableau, seven piles need to be created. Starting from left to right, place the first card face up to make the first pile, deal one card face down for the next six piles. Starting again from left to right, place one card face up on the second pile and deal one card face down on piles three through seven. Starting again from left to right, place one card face up on the third pile and deal one card face down on piles four through seven. Continue this pattern until pile seven has one card facing up on top of a pile of six cards facing down.The remaining cards form the stock (or “hand”) pile and are placed above the tableau.When starting out, the foundations and waste pile do not have any cards.The PlayThe initial array may be changed by "building" - transferring cards among the face-up cards in the tableau. Certain cards of the tableau can be played at once, while others may not be played until certain blocking cards are removed. For example, of the seven cards facing up in the tableau, if one is a nine and another is a ten, you may transfer the nine to on top of the ten to begin building that pile in sequence. Since you have moved the nine from one of the seven piles, you have now unblocked a face down card; this card can be turned over and now is in play.As you transfer cards in the tableau and begin building sequences, if you uncover an ace, the ace should be placed in one of the foundation piles. The foundations get built by suit and in sequence from ace to king.Continue to transfer cards on top of each other in the tableau in sequence. If you can’t move any more face up cards, you can utilize the stock pile by flipping over the first card. This card can be played in the foundations or tableau. If you cannot play the card in the tableau or the foundations piles, move the card to the waste pile and turn over another card in the stock pile.If a vacancy in the tableau is created by the removal of cards elsewhere it is called a “space”, and it is of major importance in manipulating the tableau. If a space is created, it can only be filled in with a king. Filling a space with a king could potentially unblock one of the face...

In this episode, the Boys cover "I'm Gonna Be Like You, Dad" just don't ask them to remember the name of the episode. Before you @ us, we know that we forgot to mention Cory talking about how wool chafes his nippies. Actually, do @ us, we live for the attention. Also, Chance makes drinks since the Boys are reunited and recording together again and the ice cubes are SO. LOUD. ASMBar if you will.Chance further professes his love for the Olsen Twins body of work. Cameron struggles to describe the taste of things. All in all, its a great time.

Sometimes in life, you have a plan, a way you think things should go. Everything seems to be lining up and it is time to go full steam ahead.But then, well, billionaires happen and they ruin everything.Since studio executives decided they should not have to pay the actors and crew and writers for all of the things that they do and provide protections for them from the uncertainty of the AI future, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are on strike. And Boy Meets World, being a Disney property, is struck material. Now, we have no delusions about being members of these unions, but we want to support them as best we can. So until the strikes are resolved, we aren't talking Boy Meets World. We are still the Boys, this is still Boy Meets World Fever, and when you think about it, the content isn't changing all that much.Join us this week as Chance discusses one of his favorite new shows from Japan. Cameron brings one of his new favorite video game genres to the table.

Well, the strikes continue as the Hollywood executives refuse to even meet in some cases with representatives of SGA and WGA so the Boys are coming at you again with some more non-struck media that you can really sink into.Chance brings forward a podcast that has really been helpful as he thinks about his beliefs and how to be a critical thinker when reading things like the Bible, Data over Dogma.Cameron talks about (and slams on the table, sorry about the audio) his favorite fantasy book series The Stormlight Archive.Other things talked about, Brotato and Legends and Lattes.

The strikes continue and so do the Boys as they celebrate even more media that you can partake in that is not currently struck by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA as they are fighting for better wages and protections from AI and all the messed up stuff coming from Executives and major studios.The Boys gush about Kamen Rider some more as they check in regarding media they have brought in past episodes.Cameron shares his latest video game obsession.Chance discusses a few struggling artists that need your support.

Today the Boys have a weirdly synergistic energy they are bringing to the show and the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes continue due to the refusal of studios to care about workers rights (it is downright dystopian).Without any planning on the part of the Boys (when is there ever) we bring you an episode that is a love song for table top role playing games like D&D and many others as well as the actual play podcasts that you can listen to in order to enjoy the games without playing yourself. It is a great time!

Do you ever come across something and just know, deep in your heart of hearts, that quiet place in your very soul that rings truest about who you are as a person, that it is entirely your thing and it will consume your every waking thought, at least for a little while. "This is my thing now" you might say. Well, if you have been listening along to these episodes as we explore non-struck media while studio executives continue to show how they don't value the people that made all that money they love int he first place, then you know what this is about to say.We here at Boy Meets World Fever have found a new love, not that Boy Meets World isn't something we enjoy anymore, but just like Cory and Topanga at so many points throughout the show, we are broken up, knowing that one day we will get back together (big kiss). That new love is the Japanese Tokusatsu Kamen Rider.This week we are going all in as we review not one, but two Kamen Rider series as Chance and Cameron have just finished watching Kamen Rider Revice and Kamen Rider Kuuga respectively. It is time to Henshin and get ready to rev up your Kamen Ride (Chance told me it is actually called a Kamen Machine, but thats not as fun) and join us as we celebrate the things we love and that are not stuck because of American Hollywood executives.We just want to see you smile.

As the strikes in Hollywood continue, so does our journey into various other forms of media that we think you should check out, especially as the slate of upcoming movies and shows will start to dry up due to the unwillingness of studio executives to care for their workers.Chance discusses his latest gaming obsession, Baldur's Gate 3. Cameron brings one of his most beloved and comfortable books, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein.Also discussed: Kamen Rider Wizard and Fourze, banana bread, chocolate croissants, Octopath Traveler 2, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, SuperPowereds, and Chance's new favorite lunch spot.
