Danielle Fishel and Rider Strong Recall Their Awkward 'Boy Meets World' Kiss: ‘Maybe the Worst Episode of Television'
If you were traumatized by Topanga and Shawn kissing on Boy Meets World, you are not alone.
On the March 27 episode of Pod Meets World, former Boy Meets World stars and current podcast co-hosts Danielle Fishel, (who played Topanga) , Rider Strong (Shawn) and Will Friedle (Eric) recapped the sixth episode from season 6 titled "Hogs & Kisses." In the BMW episode, Topanga and Shawn kiss for basically no reason, according to the stars of the show.
"This episode is maybe the worst episode of television I've ever seen ever in my life," Fishel, 43, said on the rewatch podcast. 'It's terrible. There's not one redeeming quality other than Ben [Savage].'
'It makes no sense. It's stupid, and it is not funny,' she continued.
In the 1998 episode of the series, the characters film a promotional film for the fictional Pennbrook University. In the video, Topanga and Shawn share a kiss, causing Corey (Savage) to worry that something is going on between the two friends romantically.

On the podcast, Fishel added that this was the episode that she knew she was "done" with the show. "I checked my soul out of my body," she said.
Strong, 45, recalled that he didn't even remember doing the episode until Fishel brought it up.
Friedle, 48, exclaimed that it was "one of the worst TV kisses" he had ever seen, mostly because, as the podcast hosts recalled, the smooch hadn't even been rehearsed. "You just put your lips together," Friedle said with a laugh.

Strong admitted that there was maybe something to the random kiss between two platonic friends, if only because it falls into the canon of Boy Meets World so well. He said on the podcast, "I feel like there's a 300 or 400 page book, like, a Ph.D thesis to be written about the magic of kissing on Boy Meets World, like the how and all the nuances. Right?"

Olivia Munn Addresses Ms. Rachel Backlash
Olivia Munn has addressed the uproar over her comments about Ms. Rachel. If you missed it, Olivia sparked a divide over the weekend after revealing that she doesn't let her and John Mulaney's kids — 3-year-old Malcolm and 8-month-old Méi — watch Ms. Rachel's YouTube videos. Olivia told People, 'I know kids love [Ms. Rachel], but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy. These kid shows drive me crazy.' Olivia's comments quickly went super viral, with several internet users fiercely disagreeing with her take and suggesting that it was an example of 'self-centered parenting.' Earlier this week, Ms. Rachel took to Instagram to address all the media attention around Olivia's comments, questioning why her political advocacy hadn't been as widely recognized. Sharing a screenshot of multiple headlines about Olivia's comments, Ms. Rachel wrote on Instagram, 'WHO CARES?! I'd rather you cover me advocating for kids in Gaza who are literally starving, largest cohort of child amputees in modern history, thousands & thousands killed - no medical care, no education, no homes… do better!!!' And now, Olivia has issued a message of her own. Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote, 'To Ms. Rachel and her fans, I hear and respect the passion behind your support. I never anticipated the media would single out one small thing I said and distort it like they have.' Olivia continued, 'My comments were never meant to diminish the joy, comfort, and impact she brings to so many families. Every parent understands the importance of finding meaningful programming that helps us connect with our kids.' Let me know what you think in the comments.

Miley Cyrus on How She Fixed Her ‘Messy' Family Relationships After ‘Dark' Decade
Miley Cyrus addressed the long-rumored divide within her family during an episode of Monica Lewinsky's podcast, Reclaiming, saying she made a purposeful effort to mend the broken relationships after a 'dark' decade. Cyrus explained that after her parents' divorce in 2022, 'half of [her family members] weren't speaking to each other' — and things were so bad that they were past the point of needing therapy. More from Rolling Stone Miley Cyrus Says Disney Stopped Her From Singing 'Hannah Montana' Songs, 'Not Like I Wanted To' Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Haim, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Miley Cyrus Aims High With Her Latest Artistic Swerve 'We're so messy, we didn't even do any of that,' she said, reflecting on the aftermath of her parents' long, rocky relationship. 'Just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war.' After her parents' divorce, the singer seemed to align with her mother, who has since married actor Dominic Purcell. The actor was allegedly dating Cyrus' sister and Tish's daughter, Noah, prior to his relationship with Tish, resulting in a rift between Noah and Tish, People reported at the time. Billy Ray would later marry singer Firerose in October 2023, but filed for divorce after less than a year. He is currently in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. Cyrus did not go into any detail regarding the rift or specify who wasn't speaking to whom at any given point. But she said that after such a long period of hurt feelings and estrangement among family members, she decided that it was finally time to make a change. The singer said focusing on fixing her family issues was a 'really important' part of her past year and helped rebuild the 'lines of communication' with everyone. 'I just kind of busted through the pile that stacked and just [went], 'I'm here, you're here, let's start by having a good time together,'' she said. 'Then, as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other's life, then we'll be in a better place to have these conversations.' Last summer, Cyrus spoke to David Letterman on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction about becoming estranged from her father. 'I think what is so beautiful is that my parents, they served their children. My parents served us and sacrificed so much for us. Anything we dreamed of, they made possible,' she said.
