About this episode
Glen Merzer shares his comedic journey and the story behind his protest against Koo Koo Roo.
We’ve heard many stories from the writers room about the importance of local food chain Koo Koo Roo, but once the hosts learned of a writer who dressed in a chicken costume to protest the rotisserie menu, they knew they had to talk to the man under the feathers, Glen Merzer. Glen tells the gang how the resistance came to be, and how it then turned the entire world vegan. Plus, hear all about Glen’s comedic journey to Boy Meets World, where he then decided it was “at least better than Facts of Life”. It will be hard to find a funnier guest, so get ready for a hilarious episode of Pod Meets World! Follow @podmeetsworldshow on Instagram and TikTok!
