They said it couldn’t be done. They said they wouldn’t survive. But somehow, Will and Rider entered the Bravo-sphere and lived to recap it. It’s the final episode of In The City Season 1, and it’s been quite an emotional journey. 





Rider has a shocking admission to make about his own ITC metamorphosis, but will he continue to follow the drama?? 





And with one Bravo season under his belt, Will shares his theory on why reality TV is so popular. Plus, we get a boots on the ground report from the podcast's newest special correspondent, Boy Meets World alum Lee Norris!





So join us, as they close out the tab (that is, until the reunion…) on Pod Meets Twirl'd: Metropolitan Mess!

Pod Meets World's Will Friedle & Rider Strong were sitcom stars 30 years ago. The concept of reality TV is honestly pretty foreign to them. But when their best friend Danielle Fishel competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2025, the boys committed to watching their first TV dance competition, and quickly became addicted. And undeniable experts. That is, if you ask them.

 

With their podcast, Pod Meets Twirl'd, they decided to share their newfound discovery, and self proclaimed expertise, of unscripted TV and now they'll continue their journey through the genre. The newly formed cultural thought leaders are ready to start recapping, reviewing and rehashing all the hottest reality shows! Even if they've never never seen it before.

 

First up, the show Rider has never heard of and Will THINKS he can win - Traitors!
