And he's like, you know, 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.680 I mentioned that I live in Highland Park and he goes, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.800 did you move to Highland Park? Just so you were 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.600 hoping they would reopen Highland Grounds. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.720 I was like, how do you remember and he's like, I. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:25.240 Remember Highland Grounds. That was the best place in all 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.639 of LA they had. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.359 I've talked about it on the show. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.320 I feel like, yeah, Highland and Melrose it's now changed 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.560 to like it's been three different restaurants, but it'll never 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.600 be what it was, which was coffee shop slash bar 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.440 slash performance space with an outdoor area with fire pits. 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.720 I would go at least once a week. I knew 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.680 everybody that worked there. I knew the owner. He's the 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.760 owner is a guy. He still owns Hugos. Yeah, Hugo's Tacos. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.720 And then Hugoes in the Valley is. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.680 A pretty good restaurant, but they don't serve what they 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.560 had Highland Grounds, which was the Black Bean. 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.840 It was my burger I. 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.000 It was like, oh so it was like sour dough bread, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.799 some kind of pepper, and then black bean, like their 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.560 homemade black bean patty. Oh god, it was so good guys, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.080 and they had their fries, their handcut fries. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.760 You used to do poetry there, Yeah. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.000 I did a couple of shows there. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.400 Yeah, But it. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.519 Was also just you'd go anytime of day day, or 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.280 if you went at night, it would be packed and 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.520 there'd be live music or live poetry or something. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.960 And it was always cool and a cool like bar. 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.600 Like space that you could be in as somebody who 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.200 wasn't old enough to drink. It was like it was 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.760 like the equivalent of going to a bar for me 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.760 at seventeen or sixteen, because it would be like act, 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.120 you know, people milling about and art everywhere and conversation. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.320 And then I would go during the in the mornings 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.520 or during the day by myself and just sit and 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.440 write on the outside outdoor area. I remember Tarantino apparently 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.960 wrote like a couple of his scripts there, because apparently 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.320 he writes like long hand, like or used to write 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.320 his scripts by hand, and like I remember being out 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.080 there and the Highland grounds like thing, and Tarantino's over 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:05.040 in the corner writing. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.120 It was like it was just like the coolest spot. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.080 Yeah, I'd like that. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.360 That place sounds good. Both of you guys had answers that. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.280 I'm like, oh, I really like that. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.240 I don't even like movies, you know how I feel 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.880 about art in general. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.800 But I the idea of because one of the things. 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.840 I don't love about movie watching is the fact that 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.440 I have to look on my phone to figure something 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.719 out what is there to watch. I like the idea, 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.279 and I miss the blockbuster nights where you do go, 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.240 we're gonna watch a movie tonight, and you walk into 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.560 a place and you've got all the covers. I remember 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.520 the VHS covers all lined up and you get to 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.839 look at all of them and then pick oh, let's 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.599 go over here. Let's say that you carry a few 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.600 of them around with you. Then you narrow it down. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.760 I loved that. That that is very fun. And then 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:01.120 hearing writer talk about Highland Grounds reminded me of my 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.760 place when I was eighteen nineteen twenty twenty one and 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.720 going out, was called the Coffee House and it was started. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.280 You remember the Coffee House. 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.840 It's still I mean the place is still there. Now 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.080 it's something else, but yeah. 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:14.800 Something else, but the location is still there. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:15.360 Oh yeah. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.200 And it was started by Brent Boldhouse, who was one 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.120 of the most famous club promoters at the time, and 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.920 he had been sober for a very long time. And 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.919 one of the things that he remembers being hard for 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.720 him about his sobriety is that people would always want 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.240 to go to the clubs that were nearby, and then 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.599 when the clubs would end, everyone would go to after 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.479 parties and he's everything if you weren't going to go 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.960 drink or do anything like that. He wanted a place 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.040 that where you could go as a sober person and 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.040 still have community and still hang out that bar vibe 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.120 and so it had indoor outdoor space. They used to 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.280 do some events there where people could do, you know, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.480 spoken words. If you wanted to see Leonardo DiCaprio playing 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.560 backgam and that was a good spot to find him. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.039 And it was just a. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.640 Similar writer to hearing you talk about Highland Grounds. I 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.200 knew everyone there. I felt at home there. They had 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.360 great food. So they were also open during the day. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.120 It's not like you had to go there after you know, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.560 two am, but they were opened super late. They were 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.680 open until you know, four or five o'clock in the 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.240 morning for people who used to go to clubs and. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.839 Then want somewhere to go on the Sunset Strip. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.800 Right right on the Sunset Strip gives me like when 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.920 I think back to it's like one of my warm, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.120 fuzzy places is is the coffee House. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.040 The space is still the same. Yeah, it's now it's 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:34.119 just a bar with food. 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.160 I mean it's actually not bad, it's but so it's 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.320 much more of a bar traditional but the space still 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.680 what they've redesigned. How they redesigned that space with the 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.640 outdoor area it's still there. I just went there a 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.960 couple of months ago after a friend's movie premiere. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.400 Yeah, it's like it's still. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:47.839 A cool space. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:48.960 Okay, good. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.600 I love how both of your places. Oh I was 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:51.360 gonna say, I just left. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.160 How both your places are designed for socialization and mine 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.640 is designed to stay by myself. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:00.520 So that's so accurate if you want to go. 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.279 On record as saying, well, this is a question that 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.440 I think about probably every forty to fifty minutes.

If you worked behind the scenes 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.720 on Boy Meets World and we mentioned Jeff Manel, you smile. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.160 This teddy bear not only contributed countless legendary moments to 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.680 the show, including the quintessential and then there was sean episode, 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.680 but he was also a crucial addition to the spirit 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.000 and well being of the writer's room, and he continues 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.199 to spearhead the camaraderie of the show even thirty years later. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.120 He's always a phone call away, not only to us, 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.920 but to anyone who shares the IMDb credit of our 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.240 cult classic TV GIF sitcom. I hate to think this 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.360 term downgrades his importance to the creativity of the show, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.440 because he was vital to its heartbeat. But if Boy 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.320 Meets World had a mascot, it's Jeff Manel. So to 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.200 talk to us about the end of the show and 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.240 hopefully answer some questions we have about season seven, a 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.959 time when he wrote two episodes, the already recapped Angela's 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.800 Men and the soon to be broken down The Provider. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.880 It's a rare lifer who worked on more Boy Meets 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:31.800 World episodes than Wilfredell or Danielle Fischel. It's Jeff Manel. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:38.280 No, hey, guys, how you doing? 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.199 How you doing? What are you doing? 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:41.600 You guys look great? 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:43.600 So do you are? You got that? 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.320 The season three Boy Meets World framed behind you have 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:47.040 got mine too? 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:48.199 Very important? 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:48.679 Cute? 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.440 That's season three? 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.120 Isn't that the one where Alex is with us? 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:53.160 So? 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:54.960 Wasn't didn't Alex Jewison season three? 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.240 Yeah? It was only in one season one? Yeah? 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.880 Season oh yeah, yeah, wow. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.000 I feel like he was there much longer than that. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.680 I know his presence was. It felt like he was 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.120 there for longer. But no, he was. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:11.200 I think we've all decided he was definitely the most underutilized. Yeah, waste, 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.040 wasted potential for a character on our show. We just 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.319 didn't really know what to do with him. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.640 We brought him in to add a little cool factor, 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.800 and we did. But maybe everyone else looked less cool 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:21.920 because of him. I don't know. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.360 It is true that between him and Tony together they 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.640 had like a real cool twenties guy vibe, you know. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.240 And there was like the one episode where they were 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.520 double dating or whatever. It's like a story with just them. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.200 It's only one, yeah, one, and it was a good one. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.480 It was. He was a great guy. Hey, I still 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.280 is a great guy. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.640 Yes, yeah, writer and Will. We all just actually saw 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.720 him not that long ago. He came to one of 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.280 my Dancing with the Stars episodes. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.280 Really, so yeah, it was. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.120 That was very sweet of him. He came and we 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:53.800 got to spend some time with him.

We've been old, Jensten. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.080 I go, my memory isn't as sharp as it was 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.720 the last time, and it wasn't that sharp. No, I 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.600 mean I remember, you know. I mean we knew it 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.720 was gonna be our last season. Yeah, I believe a 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.360 couple of seasons prior to that we were worried that 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.560 was gonna be our last season because we're sure Ben 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.960 wanted to do it anymore. I think it was had 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.520 a moment of thinking, I don't know, well, he was going. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.560 To college, he got into college, and then he deferred 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.280 for a year for Stanford. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:27.480 Yeah. 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.320 Yeah, so he was going to leave season six. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.080 And and you know, he knew, and we all wanted 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.880 to wrap it up, you know, in a in a 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.400 nice way because a lot of shows don't get a 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.360 chance to do that. So so, I mean, I think 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.720 we knew early on. I think we knew probably in 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.680 the season two, you guys are gonna get married Coreyan 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.280 Panga and the show this season, you know, I mean 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.360 there was a lot more serious. I just watched a 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.200 bunch of episodes because I have not seen it in 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:52.920 thirty years. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:53.960 Yeah, and. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.760 The wedding one, I have to say, the winning one 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.320 is just great. Yes, the yeah, you know Sean and 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.880 Corey's fight. Will you know You're you're lying? You know, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:12.720 poor funny in that episode, that tense, serious moment. It 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.920 was just that. That's great. That was great to see 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.040 Willy up there. You know, I watched a lot of 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.520 my watch and I go, boy, I don't remember any 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.840 of that, but this one I I of course remember, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.080 and uh, but there were some of them that I go, oh, 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.400 that's so serious, which is why we then did like 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.600 Will in the Couch you want me to count? Yeah, right, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.880 And thank God for that, you know, because that one 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.440 was I mean, that was ridiculous. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.760 Oh my gosh, that's that. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.920 It was fun though, that was that was like a fun, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.640 kind of rompy episode. But you said that you knew, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.200 we all knew going in that it was going to 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.040 be our last season, but we also only got picked 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.680 up for thirteen, So was. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.280 That for the last season? 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.400 Yeah, Well, originally were picked up for thirteen, and then 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.720 we got picked up for our back nine, like calthway 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:56.240 through the season? 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.120 Is that, I believe you? Why would they only had 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.240 this up for thirteen episodes for last season when we 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:03.240 were doing so well. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.560 Because we thought we were done. Yeah, they said that 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.240 we were only going to do thirteen. And then because 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.880 Ryder and I started to do our our fake documentary 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.920 for the party, and then we got picked up for 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.960 our back nine, we got to put it on the 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.400 kind of the back burner and we. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:17.359 Got to hold off for a while. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:18.879 So then I guess my next question is going to 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.200 matter which was the last up of the very last 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.040 episode of the season. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.840 Was that originally supposed to be episode thirteen? 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.200 I guess was, Well, that's a good question. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.560 I'm assuming when do we get the bag nine order, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.760 because we would have moved everything up if we know that. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.640 I mean, because the wedding was what episode seven? I guess, right, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.200 so maybe I wonder if that was going to be 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.480 the end. I mean that that would have been a 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.280 pretty good finale if that was if that's what we 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.480 had going. But yeah, well I feel bad you should 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.000 be the guest today, will because I don't remember that 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.359 at all. I believe you again, you know, I have 0:17:58.400 --> 0:17:59.800
