And to India's credit, he 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.600 pretty quickly got to like, well, I would help people. 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.400 I would I would give it, you know, I would 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.400 want to give some money to people that you know 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.680 are homeless. And and I was like okay, yeah, well 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.320 what you know you have to pick a cause and 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.480 you care only about Americans or you go international. We're 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.760 talking about philanthropy. And then I was like okay, but 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.120 beyond like what would you what would you want to do? 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.559 Like and he's like, what if we had another house. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.720 I'm like, yeah, that would be that would actually that 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.320 fits like my dream too, having a second house. He's like, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.160 oh my god, dad, what if we could have a 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:17.000 water slide? And I remembered, my dad built me a 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.880 water slide. Did you guys know this? No, when we 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.440 were kids, when we were like eight or nine, we 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.880 realized we had this so one a tree that they 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.560 had chopped down right in front of our pool. It 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.640 was like like a stump of a redwood tree. But 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.600 then it started to regrow so it was actually like 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.919 thirty feet tall and it had this like big stump section. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.560 So we had a treehouse in there and had, you know, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.680 a platform of wood and a ladder to get up 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.320 to it. And at some point, at like eight or nine, 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.519 we realized like, oh, you could actually from the top 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.400 of this treehouse go down ten feet or whatever fifteen 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.600 feet to the pool. So my dad and my grandfather 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.880 took a couple of months and built a full on, 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.000 half pipe water slide wow out of fiberglass. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:00.320 Yeah. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.400 It was crazy, and Pump figured out how to get 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.639 water up there. So we had like we would go 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.680 turn this little thing and it would shoot water down 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.240 a full on water slide, and then he put roller 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.000 skates on the bottom of it so you could push 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:15.560 it out of the way so it didn't block the 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.480 whole like the pathway around the pool. So yeah, by 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.120 the time it was gone by the time you guys 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.919 ever came up to roade a chart because I think 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.080 we ended up that tree is no longer there, like 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.760 the treehouse, you know. So it was only between like 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.840 eight eight or nine and like probably right around Woman's 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.840 World thirteen fourteen. But it made our house the coolest house. Like, 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.760 you know, when we had soccer games, we would have 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.200 like the after party at our house because everybody wanted 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.080 to come to the water slide. It was so much fun. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.760 But the best part was the discovery. We realized, like, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.520 you know, you could go you would go fast down 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.280 this little water slide. But then we were like, we 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.920 want to go faster, and we realized that if you 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:59.280 were naked, you could slide down this street because your 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.280 skin on this fiberglass was just like wow, it was 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.000 like slick and so yeah, so we would always be 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.400 like all right, and we just pull our bathing suits 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.440 down and go bare butt. It was like going bare 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.880 butt and you would haul ass literally down the water slide. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.000 It was so so much fun. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.800 Well, how fast did Susie go down? 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.520 We rode Susie to the top of the water slide. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.479 Oh my god. But I mean, it was just like 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.240 I mean think, I just can't believe the commitment that 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.600 my dad had, Like I mean, and I totally forgot 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.200 about it until I'm sitting there talking with India and 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.600 his like dream. He's like, we could have a water 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.800 slide into our own pool, you know, and I'm like, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.520 that would be amazing. Oh my god, my god, I had. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:37.960 That did that? 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.480 Yeah, I know, there's recently been a thing going around. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.880 It's not you know, it's not like novel people thought 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.640 of it, thought of it and said it over the years. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.080 But there's a thing recently going around on social media 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.320 about like ways to make your house the cool house 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.040 when your kids are young, so that they always they 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.120 want to bring your friends around you, that your friend 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.640 that you're comfortable with their friends, that their friends feel 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.200 comfortable around you. And there was a woman who said 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.640 they only have one rule. They have like over every 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.279 weekend they have a kid party, but the kids have 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.720 to turn in their phones when they walk in. So 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.880 they turn in their phones into a thing and then 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.320 they can do anything they want for the rest of 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.120 the day. They provide food and drinks and games and. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.160 Cigarettes and booze and yeah, just. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.719 No, I met like juice boxes and stuff. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.960 But my parents. My parents have told me that they 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.440 made that conscious decision. They were like, we want to 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.680 be we want you your friends to come to our house. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.159 And it totally worked. We still go to my parents' house, 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.560 like we make a mass exodus every summer with all 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.839 of my friends because my parents made such an effort, 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.840 and like, yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be able 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.039 to build a water slide, but I definitely want to. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.640 You know, I want my house to be that because 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.440 I think it's so important. It's like the best way 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.760 to have a relationship with your kids and your kids friends. 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.480 And that's why Will has made a ban on all 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.839 fun in his house. He said, I don't want any. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.520 For me, but they got I were like Halloween comes, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.120 the lights are off.

I was gonna say, when 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.360 all three toys got together, they just talk over each other. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.600 It's so weird to push all their buttons together. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.880 At the same time and they just start talking over 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:52.240 each other. 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:52.720 I love it. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.319 Welcome to Pond Meets World. I'm Danielle Fischel, I'm right 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.520 or Strong, and it is one thirty four. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:11.000 I'm not Wilfred. 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.360 Through the whirlwind that has been Season four of Boy 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.880 Meets World, it sometimes feels like the hits just keep coming, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.640 whether it's classic episodes, iconic lines, or punchlines that have 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.560 survived almost thirty years. Take your pick. We're in the 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.959 midst of true sitcom sicko mode. And if we were 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.640 to write a list of impactful new regulars that this 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.880 package of twenty two episodes brought us, this week's podcast 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.800 guest would be right up top. The often mentioned Verna 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.520 Hunter was commonly referenced in seasons prior, but it wasn't 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.240 until Fishing for Verna that we put a face to 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.720 the name, and forever helped cement the backstory of Sean 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.800 and give his character the depth that deserved to move forward. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.040 We'd see her again in Janitor Dad, then Turkey Day, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.560 and then she'd unceremoniously disappear as quickly as she arrived, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.520 without explanation until she's talked about during season seven with 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.400 a revelation that was emailed to us as a spoiler 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.760 maybe two hundred times. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.160 After leaving the trailer. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.120 Forever you'd see her pop up on shows like The Practice, 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.640 X files Er and Charmed, but she'd soon after take 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.240 her talents and passion to a field I personally love 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.560 vintage clothing. She's a designer who has curated and morphed 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.600 older pieces into her own, seen on clients like Kirsten 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.600 Dunst and Katie Holmes, and she even had her own 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.600 reality show called d Rescue Me. She now focuses on 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.560 building stunning bridal dresses and eveningwear from repurposed materials. And 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.480 now we are thrilled to welcome a woman of many 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.840 talents to Podmeets World. It's Verna Hunter herself. Scherene Mitchell. 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:52.160 Hi, Hi, it's so nice to see you guys. Thank 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.920 you good to be here. I am. I watched all 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.480 three episodes that I was on last night, and you know, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:05.560 I was struck by what a beautifully written show it was, right, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.720 you know, the intelligence of the writing really is classic. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.760 You know, it's it stands the test of time, and 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.120 a little bit sad that so many of the social 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.679 issues that were being discussed on those episodes are still 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.720 relevant today. You know. It's like humanity really doesn't change, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:24.080 you know. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.800 Fashion, the fashion does that's about it. 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.360 That's about it exactly, hairstyles and hair color and ages. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.160 Was that the first time you had seen the episodes 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.240 since you did them. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.599 Since I've done them, I'd seen videos, you know, I 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.680 got to tell you, guys, I've done I did a 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.040 lot of work, and I'm about and I'm doing a 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.040 lot of work now, which is interesting and i'd like. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.400 To talk about that. But when people ask me about 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:56.200 my career and I tell them the things that I've done, 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.880 although I have done bigger parts than this and kind 0:12:59.920 --> 0:13:02.800 of more notable projects, notable as in for me, because 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.800 I had a three episode dark, I wasn't like a 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:10.559 regular or something. People women, especially lose their minds. They're 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.640 just they start screaming. They can't even believe that I 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:14.640 was Sean's mom. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.920 They're like, you know, they get so excited. It's very 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.560 sweet and it tells me how. You know, you guys 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.400 raised it more than a generation. I think you raised 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.280 like two generations of young people. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.640 Yeah, it's weird, right, like we we kind of had 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.800 no idea either. That's what you know, That's what so 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.280 much of this podcast has been about, is like us realizing, Oh, 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.400 this thing that was, you know, in our minds, like 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.360 just a small part of our lives or the beginning 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.720 part of our lives, has you know, really had a 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.640 resounding effect on so many people. It's so interesting. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:48.960 Yeah. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.720 I mean if you think about the shows that you 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.120 came home from school and watched or watched in the 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.200 evening with your family, and they have an impact. I 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.360 have to say, you know, Michael Jacobs, I was reallyledging 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.000 him and I know there's another creator and I I 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:08.559 didn't ever interface with her. You know she got yeah, yeah, okay. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.040 I mean he created a beautiful show and it has 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:19.480 tremendous emotional integrity and every episode without being corny, and 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.960 I guess, guess again, it's the writing. And you know, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.280 you guys really carry a lot of talent, and that 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.840 talent is still with you. I watched you all work 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.920 yesterday and I was just like, God, they're so talented. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:38.360 They're timing their deliveries, the level of freedom in your performances. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.200 You know, I've learned a lot more about acting and 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.320 actors as I've gotten, as I've grown up. When I 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.880 was doing it then at that point, I really still 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.640 was kind of new. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.320 You know, well, let's talk about that. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.760 Actually, do you remember your audition for Boy Meets World. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.760 I do. I can still see myself going. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:05.920 I think that was at Gower Okay, yeah. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.120 It might have been there. And you know, at the time, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.640 I had just finished a series with Tony Danzas, so 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.160 I had been a series regular on a comedy, and 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.800 I had become aware by that point too that doing 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.840 a sitcom is really the best gig in. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.200 The business path. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:25.000 It really is, and it remains in my mind and 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.080 in my heart that that remains the truth. But so 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.560 I was excited, you know, about going up for this part, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.000 and I also thought that Verna was an opportunity for 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.960 me to be a little to explore kind of the 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:43.880 wackier side of my personality. It's funny. I watched the performance, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.360 and you guys will relate to this yesterday I was like, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.560 I could have done that better. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.560 Of course, that is also what this podcast is. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.600 It's the three of us watching going man, we could 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.840 wish we could go back and do that over again. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.040 And then we say it on the podcast and then 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.480 everyone writes this emails being links. I mean, it's so 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.920 hard on yourself. It's like, but we can't help it. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.040 It's not hard on ourselves, but it's more recognizing as 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.680 you learn more about comedy, how I could have made 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.080 her funnier. I definitely she was quirky. So in any case, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.320 I remember the audition and I remember getting the job. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.640 I remember my agent calling me and telling me that 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.560 I've gotten it, and you know, I was delighted, of course, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.760 because I thought that she was a really sweet character. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.440 And I think that's the funny part now too, is 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.120 that she would have been more comedic if I had 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.240 made her, if I had made her a little harder, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.320 a little tougher. But she ended up just being a 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:44.560 little zany, which is appropriate for me and for the 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:45.880 way that she's described. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.960 So yeah, well that's what I was wondering, because that 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.000 first episode is actually more dramatic. Yeah, you know, and 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.080 when we watched it, I was like, gosh, this is 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.320 like a one act play, you know, like the I 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.640 called it like Sam Shepherd light, you know, It's like 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.120 I mean, and it was interesting. I was thinking, like, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.960 I wonder if sure he knew like when you were 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.800 cast that you would end up having to do actually 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.560 more comedy, like by the second and third episode, Verna's 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.120 mostly there for laughs. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.359 Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I honestly mean, just to 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.080 be honest, I don't remember what I was told. I 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.439 do remember realizing that there was a dramatic element to 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.119 her role. There would have to be, because you know, 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.760 Ryder was without a mom, right, which is like wow 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.840 kind of and I was confused, and I'm still a 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.719 little confused. Maybe you can enlighten me where who was 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:40.639 he living with Chet or not? Before these episodes, who 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:41.520 was he living with? 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:46.040 So in second season I was living with mister Turner, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.159 the teacher because Chet leaves to go after you to 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.800 chase you down. And then the end of season three, 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.520 right end of season three, Chet comes back and takes 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.600 me into his life. And it's sort of this bittersweet 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.600 thing because because you actually can kind of tell that 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.240 that Chet's not a great father and that he is not, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.160 you know, super responsible, and there's there's a sinuation of 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:12.640 like alcoholism, and but it's never like really explicitly stated, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:14.560 but you get the feeling that Sean might have been 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.600 better off with mister Turner, but mister Turner wasn't ready 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:19.600 to take him, so he goes back to Chet. But 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.320 then we don't really develop the home life with Chet 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.160 until you came until this episode. That's the first time 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.720 I think we saw the trailer and we see where 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:29.600 the home life is, and so it's really you know, 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.440 I mean, that's the thing about these sitcoms, right, It's 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.919 like one episode can sort of rewrite history or like 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.959 define the characters. So I think your episode, that Fishing 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.320 for Verna episode really established the Hunter family dynamic. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:47.560 Yeah, and you know so. So the backstory for me 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.840 about the third episode is that I don't know if 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:55.600 you guys know this or if you remember, but Blake Clark, 0:18:55.640 --> 0:19:00.679 who played Chet, yeah, plays my husband is his hysterically 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:05.200 funny person. Yes, And I don't know if you can tell, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.280 but in my takes, it's sort of the way I'm 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:11.600 speaking now. I was on the verge of hysterical laughter 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.119 and I begged him. I leaned and I said to him, 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.800 I am begging you please dial it back because I'm 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:23.679 I couldn't keep it together. And Michael Jacobs called me 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.680 off stage and he was like, sharene if you fall 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.760 apart one more time, I am sending you home, and 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.280
