TGI Podcast is BACK with an early episode to celebrate Valentine’s Day! In this episode, Matt heads back to the land of Boy Meets World to discuss ‘First Girlfriends’ Club’ from Season 5 of the show.
This episode features discussions about terrible plot lines, how Jack hit a classic sitcom trope we saw earlier in the year in a Full House episode and why money is better than chocolate. As always, we end the podcast by determining whether this episode should be deemed a Valentine’s Day classic!

It’s Episode 23 and it’s great to be alive.
We start with a Story of Shame form one of the co-hosts of Jingle Jank, Jay Lachapelle, will the young ever learn that no good will come from peeking at your Christmas presents?
Hard to believe, but this is the first time we look at one of the major versions of A Christmas Carol. This is the 1984 one starring George C Scott as Scrooge and a host of British actors in the supporting roles. It’s a fantastic version and if you’ve never seen it, it’s on YouTube.
Plus there’s a very bad quiz where you have to guess if the actors from this version of A Christmas Carol ever appeared in Dr Who.
Robin and Juno sing Away In A Manger and manage to get most of the words right.
This Episode’s recommendation is Gossipmongers. In my opinion it’s the funniest podcast out there. Here’s a link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/gossipmongers/id1454848064

Happy Thursday, Christmas fanatics! Welcome to the second official installment of Another Christmas Story!
This week, the author of this holiday rom-com himself, our very own Anthony, will read to all of you Chapter One of our tale, entitled “Good King Wenceslas”! Within this chapter, taking place ten-years after last week’s prologue, you’ll meet the characters of President Emily Williams, her Chief of Staff Anna Dreyfus, and her Press Secretary Gary Matthews, and get a hint about the problems they’re dealing with this particular Christmas Eve.
We hope you like it! (And don’t worry – this is not a political book in the slightest, despite the nature of this chapter. We just had to set up these particular characters and the world they’re inhabiting for their storyline!)
