Danielle Fishel is recalling a mortifying bathroom experience.
Speaking on part one of the Thursday, June 25, episode of their “Pod Meets World” podcast, Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong discussed knowing incredibly personal details about one another due to working together so closely.
After the success of their podcast venture, the trio, who starred together in 90s show, Boy Meets World, took their show on tour beginning in 2023.
In the podcast episode, Fishel, 45, recalled an embarrassing experience from her time on the road with Friedle and Strong.

“There was one time, you know, when I travel, I’m a girl. I don’t always keep my same bathroom habits when I travel. Unfortunately, my body just changes,” Fishel recalled. “So there was one time I was like, ‘Guys, I don’t know what to do. It’s been a few days since I’ve been to the bathroom.’ I had to take some very strong laxatives,” she explained.
Friedle, 49, then interjected to add, “You had to pull over on the side of the road!”
Continuing her story, Fishel confessed, “I went to the bathroom in the most repulsive Porta Potty in a gas station.”
When Strong, 46, pointed out that there were “probably spiders” in the bathroom, Fishel noted the situation was so dire at that point that a thought like that was the least of her worries.
“You know what? I couldn’t have cared, I couldn’t have cared, it wouldn’t have mattered. It would have been at the side of the road or in the Porta Potty,” she said.

The actress concluded, “And so we’ve learned a lot about each other.”
After her costars shared that a video exists that shows Fishel coming out of the gas station with her hands up in the air in triumph and looking excited, Fishel admitted, “I was thrilled, I felt like a new person.”
Earlier in the episode, Fishel also shared what she had discovered about her podcast cohost Friedle.
“So I did not have any idea how many times a day Will changes his underwear, But doing the podcast live tour, we got probably too comfortable with our travel habits. We got to talk regularly about what underwear Will was currently wearing,” she said. “He would then show us and then he’d say, ‘I’m going to go and change into these for the live show.’ So then we’d know what underwear he was wearing for the live show.”
