Sleepover at The Matthews House w/ William Russ and Betsy Randle

00:00:19
Speaker 1: We couldn't be more excited to be taping a very special episode of Pod Meets World from a very special location, brought to you by the fully electric Hyundai Ionic five. We are at the actual Boy Meets World home. Yes, we are inside the Matthew It is the house you saw as the exterior in almost every episode through season four. We're actually going to be sleeping here tonight, if you can believe it. D Writer, how did we agree to this?

00:00:56
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:00:57
Speaker 3: This is I think we found out somebody we talked about doing something with this house because we're actually right across the street from one of the studios that we shot at, correct, so we always knew where this house was, which was just the house for the exterior shots which they kept coming back every episode, but we never actually.

00:01:17
Speaker 4: First time.

00:01:18
Speaker 3: So I know that that can be confusing to some people, even people that have worked in the industry for years that but no, we actually have never been here and the interior looks nothing like much like we've never been to Philadelphia.

00:01:30
Speaker 5: And the problem I'm starting to realize is when writer, either you or whoever says any idea, Danielle then googles it and I'm pretty.

00:01:39
Speaker 1: Sure this was a will idea, but then again, who knows. It was like, let's let's why do we found out.

00:01:46
Speaker 3: That it was actually available.

00:01:50
Speaker 1: Whoever bought this house most recently knew that it was the Boy Meets World exterior and decided to rent it out. And so we we started hearing from our dear listeners it was probably Melissa. Yeah, Melissa reached out and said, guess what, I'm staying at the Boy Meets World house. And we were like, wait a minute, you can do that, and you know, producer mind Jensen Karp was like, let's get you guys inside the Boy Meets World House. So anyway, it's going to be very fun. We are going to be taping a bunch of fun episodes and content during our next twenty four hours, but first.

00:02:23
Speaker 4: Twenty four we've decided on the full time.

00:02:25
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty four.

00:02:27
Speaker 4: Hours, just checking you decided on the full twenty four.

00:02:31
Speaker 1: But now that you guys know that, it is time to sit down with two true TV legends right here inside the house they helped make iconic. We have spoken with them both separately for our pod, but now with the chance to have them here together, we wanted to not only learn more about their relationship and experiences on set, but also give them the flowers they so obviously deserve thirty years later during our rewatch. So now as a duo, we are lucky to be sitting with Alan and Amy Matthews in the flesh, William, Rusty Russ, and Betsy Randall.

00:03:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, those legends.

00:03:13
Speaker 3: Get here.

00:03:14
Speaker 6: Let me know.

00:03:16
Speaker 3: You're here.

00:03:17
Speaker 4: You're here already.

00:03:19
Speaker 3: We didn't either when we were watching this until we started to get into seasons three and four, and now we're like, oh my god, we were.

00:03:28
Speaker 5: Both so good on the show, and we missed it because we were your kids and so self involved. Didn't realize how great you were.

00:03:36
Speaker 3: We've talked about it. I think you just assumed everybody was as good as them, And then you get into as you grow up and you work with other actors, you realize how lucky we were to have you guys just made certainly.

00:03:46
Speaker 1: Were yeah, well, and we're lucky that you're still in our lives. We all kind of reunited recently, we all went to nineties con. How was that for you? Was that the first time you had seen each other in quite a while.

00:03:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so yeah, yeah, it was a gas. It was a total gas.

00:04:03
Speaker 2: It was.

00:04:04
Speaker 4: That was your first convention ever, wasn't it, Rusty?

00:04:06
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:04:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's a fun world, isn't it.

00:04:09
Speaker 6: Well it's so special and gosh, all the guys on gals that came out, it was just.

00:04:14
Speaker 3: Like so much love.

00:04:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, big love fest at the conventions.

00:04:18
Speaker 1: So before the convention, do you do either of you remember the last time you had seen each other face to face?

00:04:25
Speaker 4: No?

00:04:28
Speaker 1: No, I mean we're talking years.

00:04:34
Speaker 3: No, well, I mean we all did.

00:04:36
Speaker 4: We did Girl Meets World together for the last episode, right.

00:04:40
Speaker 1: Would that have been two thousands seventeen? Yeah, okay, so seven years. How do you guys feel seeing the Boy Meets World House in the flesh today? Does it? Is it what you remembered seeing on TV?

00:04:54
Speaker 4: No?

00:04:55
Speaker 3: No, I don't remember seeing it. You really.

00:05:00
Speaker 6: The outside looks like I never saw the outside.

00:05:03
Speaker 3: Did you ever watch Did you watch the show? Rusty?

00:05:05
Speaker 6: No?

00:05:08
Speaker 3: You should, it's good. We have a podcast about it.

00:05:13
Speaker 1: And you came up the front right the driveway and then sometimes the.

00:05:20
Speaker 6: Street, yeah, I mean.

00:05:23
Speaker 1: Rider, and I laughed and felt very much like every person who's ever come to visit a set and as we were standing outside, I was sitting there and just kind of staring at it, and writer goes, it looks smaller in person, And it is exactly the way you feel when everyone who's ever come to a set goes, oh, the set looks so much bigger on TV.

00:05:42
Speaker 3: Well, we look bigger too.

00:05:43
Speaker 4: Everyone every time we meet me like you're shorter than I thought. It's like, hey, it's everyone thinks we're hugely tall.

00:05:51
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:05:51
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember, like we we've talked a lot about as kids, things that we remember from the Boy Meets World set, like the candy drawer in the kitchen and the gum wall. Do you remember the disgusting the wall?

00:06:07
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but up up the stairs before we walk on, where we smashing their gun to.

00:06:12
Speaker 1: The kitchen, the kitchen, down the kitchen stairs. I know you started the Okay, now I'm making that up. Are there any moments or spots on any of the sets we worked on over the seven years that you guys felt more at home that were like your little spots on the set you like to hang out.

00:06:35
Speaker 7: I'm afraid it was the sink.

00:06:37
Speaker 1: Oh really, yes?

00:06:38
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I was behind the counter.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: Doing business constantly mom stuff disciplining you.

00:06:50
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't really, I mean, I love you, frankly, I loved so much offset Yeah you know, I mean because you guys was you know your kids?

00:07:00
Speaker 5: You know.

00:07:00
Speaker 6: I still remember, like I said, one of my strongest memories. It was a Halloween and I remember you guys coming from school. This was on Disney Lot and walking from the school, which is about two hundred yards from the stage, and you all had your little costumes on, and I remember watching you guys just skipping over to.

00:07:20
Speaker 3: Go to work.

00:07:21
Speaker 6: I thought, well, I'm gonna remember this, and I had. It's really one of my fondest memories.

00:07:27
Speaker 3: So now that we're in season four, the Wilderness Store is like a big It gets a big introduction and then it's only been used a couple of times, but it's a great set. Do you remember the Wilderness Store?

00:07:40
Speaker 2: Do you have?

00:07:41
Speaker 6: I remember it very well.

00:07:42
Speaker 3: All I can remember is the one arm bear train. We haven't gotten there yet. But do you remember discussions about like the whole because it's actually Amy Buys the which.

00:07:58
Speaker 1: Is one of my favorite episode.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: It's a great episode. Do you guys remember did Michael ever talk to you about, like, oh, we're going to introduce this whole new aspect of the show, or do you have any No, do.

00:08:09
Speaker 7: You remember a new aspect?

00:08:11
Speaker 3: No, talk to you about any of it. You know, I don't think so. The bear there is eventually a bear. Yeah, but we're not getting there now. You guys by the Wilderness, the Matthews by the Wilderness Store, and Alan goes from being a grosser to the Wilderness Store owner and works there, and it becomes mostly a place for the three of you, mostly Rusty and and Will. And then they introduced a love interest for Will free episode three episodes.

00:08:41
Speaker 5: Remember do you remember Lonnie, the blonde actress who worked at the store with us.

00:08:45
Speaker 1: She wore a crop top flannel.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: She was but not It was weird.

00:08:53
Speaker 7: Do you know?

00:08:53
Speaker 5: I have a writer asking about if they kind of let you in on big changes in the show when it came to buying the Wilderness Store and stuff like that. Were there any changes you were letting on? Did you know they were like, for instance, changing little sisters.

00:09:07
Speaker 3: Or Tony Quinn wasn't coming back.

00:09:09
Speaker 5: Were you privy to any of that kind of stuff because we didn't know any of that.

00:09:13
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:09:14
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't.

00:09:15
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it was not just a kid just being an actor, you know.

00:09:19
Speaker 6: I mean it was their show. I mean, you know, no, I don't, I don't remember. We would talk about stuff and make jokes and you know, but the writers were you know, is their show, Michael's show and all that great bunch of writers. Yea, And they're they're working there, you know, six months.

00:09:37
Speaker 3: Before we show up.

00:09:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're not calling me up saying what do you think of this?

00:09:42
Speaker 2: Right?

00:09:43
Speaker 3: Did you ever go to them with any of your own desires to like do certain things or.

00:09:48
Speaker 6: No, I would.

00:09:49
Speaker 5: I was.

00:09:49
Speaker 6: They were great to be open. I say, you know, this doesn't feel comfortable or what about this? Or you know it's really I feel you know, this is a little weird, or why is it like this? And a lot of times it was just because I didn't see it clearly, because as I said, they've been living with the script or an idea for six months, so they've usually been through all the things. I'm just seeing it. And I had to give them faith. You know, as an actor, you got to have a lot of faith. But they have a vision that I'm not seeing right at the moment.

00:10:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's not like we can improvise. You know, that's not professional to do that, right, These guys work hard to come up with these words, so we feel the challenge to try and make it work.

00:10:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Betsy, you were saying, maybe you don't really remember it very well. But the episode where you end up buying the Wilderness Store is so wonderful.

00:10:43
Speaker 4: Great episode.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: It's such a great relationship story too. It's it starts off with you know, Alan saying I'm not doing this anymore. I don't want to be a grosser. I need a change. And then Eric and Alan go to this you know convention where they learn about new jobs, and Alan decides, you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to open a convenience store. And I'm going to do that because I already know being a grosser. And you say to him, I'm not going to support this, and he gets a little upset with you, like why can't you just support me? And you have this beautiful scene in the backyard where you tell him I'm not going to support you because I'm not going to support you continuing to crush your dream. You need, I expect you want more for yourself. And if you, when you find that thing, I will support it, but this is the one I can't. And there's this whole moment too where you say, like, one of these days I'm going to make a decision and it's going to affect this fan.

00:11:39
Speaker 3: Well, quit, he quits. That's why latch of the episode is that he quits and he comes home says I quit, and you're like, you can't just do that?

00:11:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you say, I'm basically I'm going to get you back, and I don't know how when, I don't know when, but one of these days I'm going to make a decision that changes the course of this family and you're not going to know about it. And in the end it resolves with you buying the Wilderness Store. And what was extremes come true?

00:12:01
Speaker 4: What was the first possibility that he turned down?

00:12:06
Speaker 3: Gone?

00:12:07
Speaker 5: Nope, pooy gone?

00:12:13
Speaker 3: That was the first thing?

00:12:14
Speaker 5: Is a guy trying to sell us on Pooperrie, which gets rid of all the dog smells, which then Danielle informed us, became an actual thing.

00:12:22
Speaker 1: Yes, you guys could have been multi mis exactly if we just listened to our gut. But so when you guys would get those episodes and still in season three and season four, there are those occasional episodes where you guys are just handed a beautiful storyline and you execute it so well. And now as adults, we are recognizing just how nuanced and incredible you are. When you would get those episodes and you'd read those scripts, would you think like, yes, more of this. How did you feel when you'd see you were going to get to really shine in an episode?

00:12:54
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:12:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, more of this, more of this.

00:12:58
Speaker 7: I was so relieved to have something to talk about, to write that meant something, and.

00:13:05
Speaker 6: So yeah, well, I always give the writers kudos because they always wrote adults as opposed to merely jokes, you know, and let us hopefully be you know, some semblance of real life, as you know, I found out going to these conventions and all, you know, for the last twenty years that you know, people you know kind of looked at us as parents. That's what's the beauty is the writing, very much, you know, because it all stems from the writing. Without the writers, you got nothing.

00:13:38
Speaker 5: And it's rare to see a show that the adults are written as well as the kids, and vice versa. A lot of times it's a kids show and the adults are wacky and they're always the kids are always pulling the wool over their eyes or that kind of thing, or it's vice versa where the adults are written really well and the kids or one note. But our show really does have that writing where the adults were great. I mean, there was time we just saw an episode where where it was Ben getting Corey getting his license, and you know, Alan wakes up in the morning and just assumes that Corey knows how important it is to him, so he's gonna spend his whole day with his dad getting his license. When so Alan doesn't even say to Corey, hey, we're gonna do this, He just assumes is gonna happen. Well, Corey of course wants to go be with his friends. So it's it's really your story, Rusty, about kind of dealing with your kids growing up. And there's this great scene where you get a Phoenie scene where it's like it's Bill coming to teach Alan, like the teacher teaching one of their kids, and it was just we're watching that in the justaposition of that with when.

00:14:36
Speaker 4: We normally see Foenie and Cory or Phoenie and Eric and it was just so good our show sort of.

00:14:41
Speaker 3: Like you know, you take like the father knows best model and it's Feenie knows best right, right, so even the parents don't know everything and that's.

00:14:48
Speaker 6: So great, you know, like it was very special.

00:14:51
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then also you know Phoenie too also is as much as he's like an omniscion character, there's also a lot of nuance and struggle him. And like that episode with you and and and him where he has like the special Lady friend and oh yeah Boston or whatever, it's like, oh, there's there's history there, there's he's not sure about things, he's going to make decisions.

00:15:10
Speaker 5: Well, even they were setting it up even in season one, because there's another great scene where it's you keep being up late to watch a baseball game and you have the scene where you go to Bill kind of like come on, give him a break, and he's like, no, I'm not going to give it, and it's the two adults going back and forth, and it was just those are becoming the adult scenes are becoming my favorite part of this the show.

00:15:28
Speaker 3: Now it's true. I think it's because I'm old.

00:15:31
Speaker 1: And what was it like for the two of you working with Bill Daniels, What was your relationship with him?

00:15:36
Speaker 7: Like he scared me?

00:15:42
Speaker 3: He does.

00:15:43
Speaker 7: He roars like a lion, but Jenna is a lamb, you know, kind of thing.

00:15:47
Speaker 1: But yeah, I enjoyed working with him.

00:15:51
Speaker 6: Oh, I love working I work with him before.

00:15:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah.

00:15:55
Speaker 6: I had done a couple of episodes saying elsewhere. Actually the thing that I came off to LA I did a TV movie where I first met him.

00:16:03
Speaker 4: Right, I don't think I knew for Murder really firstal for Murder.

00:16:08
Speaker 6: The whole cast of that TV movie was spectacular. We're find that Robert Preston in Redgrave, Oh Jesus, Yeah, and Bill and Jeff Goldbloom and his whole gang. But yeah, anyway, I so I loved that Bill was there, I tell you the truth. And you know, I've we became friends over the whole course of it, and you know, it was it was a great relationship. And he was pretty scared after the first show. I had never done and I had never done it. The fact is that neither one of us had ever done a sitcom. I had never done one before. I didn't understand it, and I learned really quick because we had good people around us. But yeah, I thought Bill was just excellent. He loved you guys. I know that still does.

00:16:55
Speaker 1: Well.

00:16:55
Speaker 7: We loved him too. I mean I really admired him so much when he was on Broadway, for God's sake, so you know, so I just think he was he was a really dignified being, even though he was grumpy.

00:17:10
Speaker 1: This might be a weird question, but did you guys know he had been a child actor?

00:17:14
Speaker 6: Yes?

00:17:15
Speaker 7: Okay, so no, not before he had read his book, all right, okay, and I see him doing that to this day, right, I see this little boy that's doing the song and dance that I think he was as you know, as young as.

00:17:30
Speaker 4: Five, I know, yeah, ive or six years old.

00:17:33
Speaker 7: That's just in him.

00:17:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been performing for over ninety years.

00:17:37
Speaker 7: It's in him to do it.

00:17:38
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

00:17:39
Speaker 1: I still can't believe. I feel much better somehow that the adults also weren't being clued into like massive changes. It's just really as being an actor.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: I thought they were as Bill or Bill, and I also didn't know anything. Yeah, I feel like that's happened a lot actually, where what we think of as just our childish perspective is actually just being an actor or just not just you know, you just don't know stuff. It's just work. And half the time, you know, you don't have an adult you know, you don't have a full perspective, even if you're an adult, because you're just yeah, you don't know, or you're just showing up. You do your scene, you walk away. It's it's interesting.

00:18:16
Speaker 6: It's a creative process where you don't know it. It is spontaneous, right, that's the point. That's what's wonderful about it.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: Everybody brings their part and they commit to it wholeheartedly.

00:18:25
Speaker 6: And yeah, and you know our audience that sees the shows who haven't been you know, lucky enough to be in a live performance, right, you know, don't see all the changes we went through and the mistakes and the surprises, and you know, it's it's it's an interesting, interesting process.

00:18:44
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever have like adults only boy meets world cast parties? Like did you did? Did you guys ever like hey, Friday night, come on over? But we weren't invited? No, no, I.

00:19:01
Speaker 4: Was at all those Sorry, guys, those are the best.

00:19:06
Speaker 6: We would have dinners.

00:19:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, we would have dinners.

00:19:10
Speaker 7: Sometimes we didn't invite you for dinner.

00:19:12
Speaker 1: That's why. That's what I was. That's what I was hoping to hear. But was it just like you two and your significant others or was it all of the adults, Like did you also have was Tony ever there?

00:19:23
Speaker 4: Well?

00:19:23
Speaker 7: Bill and Bonnie and you and Claire and and you and Johnny at our house?

00:19:28
Speaker 4: Well we all lived.

00:19:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's pretty close to each other.

00:19:32
Speaker 6: Have friends or whatever many friends you met. And then of course we had parties at your house, wild parties.

00:19:39
Speaker 3: Out in the hills.

00:19:40
Speaker 6: Wow, we really can't go in.

00:19:45
Speaker 3: What about the writers? Did you guys ever intermingle with the writers or hang out with any of the producers or Yeah?

00:19:49
Speaker 7: Sometimes, but not so much because they were very busy writing.

00:19:54
Speaker 6: They were there, you know, weeks before and then until two.

00:20:00
Speaker 4: Or three o'clock in the morning. Sometimes you get the script, you know, you get it the next morning and you know.

00:20:04
Speaker 5: That's something delivered it to your house at four thirty in the morning kind of thing.

00:20:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Betsy wants to tell me more about these parties. She was gonna say it was No, I wasn't. Yeah, it was what Betsy was the best.

00:20:16
Speaker 7: It was fun. Yeah, it was fun.

00:20:18
Speaker 1: Well, I love to entertain, Yeah.

00:20:20
Speaker 7: And it was fun. I was just thinking my birthday. But there was a couple of times where I think you guys all came and we cooked and on the grill and so on. But I can't remember it was my birthday or not.

00:20:30
Speaker 1: But so, did you guys do like a pot lock? Did somebody cook?

00:20:33
Speaker 4: I want to know you started talking about food, so, Daniels.

00:20:36
Speaker 7: I want to imagine that was whoever's hosting usually does the grill okay, okay, okay, and then everybody else brings salads or something like that.

00:20:45
Speaker 4: Who was in charge of the charcuterie plate?

00:20:50
Speaker 5: You had your own differently than we did.

00:20:55
Speaker 3: Well, you know what was.

00:20:56
Speaker 6: Really special about it, because we're all actors, is that you don't get that chance. I mean, I actually it's very emotional for me because in a certain way, because you know, we go from job to job usually even if you do one show, two shows, twelve shows, but to do for those years and to be with the same group of people, yeah, it's so special to actors. Yeah, and obviously writers and producers and directors too, But I mean, I don't know, I've always felt that way.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: Yeaheah.

00:21:30
Speaker 6: To have this group of people even sitting here twenty whatever years later with you guys, yeah, is quite unusual and special, and I think we always we all were grateful for.

00:21:43
Speaker 1: That, knowing who we were as kids and then knowing us now as adults. Are there any do you feel like there's any surprises or are we as adults the people you would have imagined we would have grown up to be.

00:22:08
Speaker 7: Oh, I I'm so happy that I like you all.

00:22:17
Speaker 1: I'm so because we did.

00:22:18
Speaker 3: We did go.

00:22:20
Speaker 7: Through some growing stages.

00:22:22
Speaker 1: Can I say, you know?

00:22:23
Speaker 7: I mean my kids are the same age as you are, and so I had been there, done that. It was like, Okay, this is my pretend kids, but they're not pretend. They're and I love them. Oh, they're going through that stage now and they don't like me, And that was you know.

00:22:41
Speaker 3: They never went through don't like Betsy stage. I don't like.
