JB Gaynor Meets World
Little orphan Tommy is all grown up and joining the podcast! The gang reconnects with an adult JB Gaynor, best known to BMW fans as little Tommy from Season 6.

TGI – Episode 610 “And In Case I Don’t See Ya”
In a rare move by Boy Meets World writers, they pulled a storyline straight from the big screen for this Season 6 romp, putting Eric right in the middle of “The Truman Show.” Will can perfectly recall a line from an obscure sitcom from the ‘70s, but has no memory of filming this episode! As a result, the gang unpacks why maybe this one’s been erased from the podcast’s most effective brain. Plus, the return of another character who has a familiar name, alongside an unusual outburst of anger from Alan! And did Will experience breaking & entering or just a breaking of etiquette?
