Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, Oh, good morning, how are you.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm so great. I'm so happy to see you.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I am so excited that you're here. I even wore
my glasses in honor of you.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh my god, I'm asked for twins.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah now' these are just like blue light glasses. Though.
These are really just I didn't really have time to
put myself together after the gym, and maybe these will
distract from whatever's happening on my head. Could have fooled me. Yeah,
you look like you went through three hours of hair makeup.
Oh well, someone be losing their job. I didn't say,

(00:53):
like how practiced the hair and makeup. I didn't say
they were good at it. It just looked like it
might have taken a really terrible person three hours to
do whatever that is. Yeah, yeah, maybe it's the first
day of work. I don't know who knows it's my first.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Day at work.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
So uh, here we are, Kim, We're in the show.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're ready to go. It's weird, like I feel.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Like like I'm supposed to know things now for this show. Yeah,
the pressures go on, but I don't know. I guess
I just didn't. I whenever Andrea, whatever ab is is
unable to make a show. It's at that moment that
I go, oh, yeah, she's really the the uh the
driver of the thing. I think so, and you just

(01:34):
basically we're a way mow of a podcast today. We're driverless.
We're just going by sense and uh, we're gonna see
what happens along the way and hopefully we don't crash
in anything.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Good luck to everybody. Right, how are you, Kim? What's doing?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, oh god, nothing. I was so prepared for this
podcast and not for that question.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're like, oh wait, You're like I know, oh no, no, yeah, nothing,
nothing is new. Isn't that so embarrassing? That's I mean,
that's not the same here. You know what last time
I saw you was at your show. Yes it was
yes you because thank you, good, thank you. It was
really fun. We have another one, uh Saturday, another one

(02:20):
this Saturday. So yeah, it's the Smoke Show with Sweeten,
a comedy pageant here.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And pbody should be going to it.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
They should be coming from all over the country, all
over the world, other planets.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Right, I mean, we're really trying to work on our
interplanetary pr right now. But the language barrier is sort
of hard and it's a lot of math, so I
feel like a transfer.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh the math part is going to be tricky, but
I feel like.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's gonna be hard.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
But no, it is super.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Fun and weird and off the wall and uh and
we have a good time. So yeah, check out at
smoke show with Sweeten. I'm shamelessly plugging myself, but hey,
why not. I feel like nobody's here to stop me?
So does a B stop you? Is she? I just
I don't know, I just never, I just I never
uh no, never did that. Never, never promoted like the

(03:11):
other show really like like really called it out like that.
I don't know. Anyway, there we go. I'm here to
lift you up. Oh you're gonna have to do some
heavy lifting today, Kim, because it is uh, it's it's
a time.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
To be alive. It is certainly a time. It is
entirely a time.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
It is a time. And uh yeah, I you know,
nineteen ninety one has never looked so good.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was a joy to go back.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It was when So when I had texting you was
like can you uh can you do the show tomorrow?
Because Andrew wasn't able to make it. I was like,
it's here. The title of the episode, I said, is
easy Rider said, so chances are it's another one of h.
Jesse's motorcycle mal downs. Makes sense. Good guess. It was

(04:02):
a good guess. I was wrong, And how did I know?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Immediately I was like, oh, I know what this episode is,
So what's wrong?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You do?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Cam Caim.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
We've established you've watched the show, you're a fan of
the show.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I was just in it.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I didn't I didn't know what else was going on
around me, you know, yeah, but busy division while other
people were doing their scenes.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know, it was preoccupied.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
You're you're like, you're older now in the show. You're
making memories now as you know a human being at
that age.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's cute that you think that I can remember all
that way back.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
You can really remember what I did last week?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Kim, Yeah, No, I do. Uh, I I do remember
some things for sure, And it's like it's I don't.
It kind of doesn't get jarred in my brain until
I see it like on camera.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, I'm excited to hear your memories of this episode,
because like, oddly, watching this episode, core memories of mine
were unlocked.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Really yes, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Even remember it. No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
No, I remembered. There were a couple of lines that
I remembered, the Tonsil hockey line. I was like, I
remember that one. I had fun saying that joke. Yeah, yeah,
there were a stuff, had a couple good zingers. I
do remember that, like those lines in particular, But yeah, no,
I don't. I am excited to see what core memories
have been unlocked in the mind of Kim Moffatt. Oh boy,

(05:37):
little little Kim, Little Kim, core memories, little Kim, but
not little just Kim, because that would probably be some
sort of copyright infringement.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I asked her core memories of this episode was, and
she gave me some thoughts too, so we'll get those.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh okay, good. You know I always wondered what she
thought about okay as well. Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Shall we get into it, Kim? Oh, I think so.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I mean, because you haven't prepared for the pre show
chatter part of it. So you're like, let's just get
to the part that you are prepared for.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I wasn't. I'm prepared to talk to you at all times.
I was not prepared for you to ask me, what's new?
I want you to don't bring the attention to me.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's just how's the weather? I don't know, But.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Now I feel like you should know that I'm in
no way prepared for a normal conversation.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Ever.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh yes, I wasn't trying to have a normal conversation
with me. Yeah, no, no, we weren't.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's yeah, all right, you're ready go be weird together.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh here we go. All right, everybody, welcome back to
how Arude Tanner Rito's I am your host. Jody Sweeten,
along with the great and wonderful Yay Kim Moffat. Kim
is in for ab today. Aby couldn't make it. But Kim,

(06:57):
as always is like the superhero flies in and is
like I got you with her encyclopedic knowledge of full house,
amazing intro. I can only go let you down from here.
So exciting. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I think, I think, I think we can keep going up.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
This episode this is season five, episode thirteen, Easy Rider,
which aired December third, nineteen ninety one, and it goes
a little something like this. Michelle blames Joey for her
fall while learning to ride a bike without training wheels, Danny.
It takes his relationship to the next level. It was
directed by Jueleswick. It was written by Jeff Schimmel and

(07:38):
guest starring Daniel Rentarea as Nikki Kutzopolis Kevin Renterrea as
Alex Kutzoppolis. I wonder what happened if they they like
they got credited for the wrong role.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, I have a lot of questions. I have
a theory about that with twins.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay, what is it?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, I just feel like there's it's just not impossible
that this has happened with twins, like where you know
wich and then they got switched up.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Sure, yeah, passap, I'm sure. I mean a lot of time.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I mean back in the days before hospital bracelets, if
you had twins, well, first of all, if you had
twins in the days before hospital break bracelets, you were
lucky to be there. But look, yeah, but you will
you writing it on their body?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I mean yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
So anyway, the Renterriad twins as Nicky and Alex. We
don't know who played who, but it says Daniel was
Nicky and Kevin was Alex. We'll take them at their word.
We also have the lovely and wonderful. Gail Edwards as
Vicky Larson. We had an amazing interview with Gail a
few episodes back, if you want to check that out.
And she is becoming more of a presence on the

(08:47):
show and I love it, I really love I loved Vicky,
her kind of her opposite of Bob it was great
or Danny rather. And then we have Allison Armitage as
girl on Bike highlight of the episode and Divera Marcus
as Ida. I feel like Divera had done some other

(09:11):
things and I see I'm ill prepared, and I didn't
look up on IMDb LIKEAB usually does. Yes, she would
have done a great job here, because I also was
like she looks familiar. Right, all right, see this is
you know what This is where we just find out
all the ways that I don't know what I'm doing
now that Andrea is really uh yeah, and it missed

(09:34):
and we love you. Okay, let's get into the recap.
See how we can screw this up? All right? Oh,
we have a teaser this week. We had a oh wait,
hold on. Note in from the producer. Vera is an
actress and producer known for Bugsy nineteen ninety one Primal
Fear nineteen ninety six and Joy of Sex in nineteen
eighty four. So really that one should have come first.

(09:58):
But U, I don't know what that one's about, but
get it di vera.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Good for her?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Great.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh So, now we are in the backyard with our teaser, Joey, Michelle,
DJ and Stephanie are playing baseball in the backyard. Wiffle
ball technically, but yeah whatever. Stephanie pitches the ball to Joey,
who's up to bat, but he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Take a swing.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Michelle, the umpire calls strike three year out. Joey is flabbergacid.
He argues that it was an obvious ball, but Michelle
insists it was a strike. They go nose to nose,
arguing back and forth. It was a ball, it was
a strike. It's getting very heated. You know what, it
was a ball? I mean it was it definitively was

(10:45):
a ball. I've watched it happen. Yeah, I felt very
strongly about it. I don't even know that much about sports,
and I'm pretty sure it was a ball. So finally,
Joey tricks Michelle into saying it was a ball, but
she doesn't enjoy being tricked, so she kicks Joey out
of the game punishment.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
You don't mess with Michelle. That's what happens.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
That's it. And DJ backs her little sister up, saying,
you heard the ump. You're out of here, and Steph
chimes in, Yeah, hit the showers, Michelle says, and wash
behind your ears. Yeah, please please.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Do that as everyone should.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah. Joey heaves a sigh as he tells the girls, Fine,
I'm out of the game. I'll just take my bat
and ball and go home. Shelle's tone quickly changes as
she realizes they can't play without them, so she goes,
hold it, you're back in the game. Play ball. Very
cute teaser. It was it was. It was showing off

(11:38):
Steph's pitching skills, Michelle's tyrannical behaviors, Hey, Joey's inability to
play sports. You know it was just Dave Coolly, a
well known for his lack of athletics exactly. Yeah, yeah, classic,
the least athletic. Uh, the three guys for sure? Yeah,

(12:00):
big time. The opening credits made me emotional. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think it was just a weird moment for me.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
But like watching you and Candice grow up, the little
of you guys as littles and then getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
What was wrong with me?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Because you know I don't get emotional ever, but you know,
seeing you as like a little and then getting right.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
And you know me as a as a as an
even bigger big. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, the little tiny
versions of.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Us are pretty yeah, durable.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's really sweet. Oh well, I'm glad it touched your
your dark little sulkim.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I really had to dig deep, but I got there.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
All right. We are back in the backyard and we
see that Danny is cleaning the leaves of his outdoor plants.
A Joey's in disbelief when he sees this, as he
should be, but Danny defends himself by pointing out that
he's only cleaning the dirty ones. And at this point
I feel like someone should take Danny to a psychiatrist,

(13:06):
perhaps for some sort of uh just a quick talk,
just yeah, just an evaluation, you know what I mean of, Like, hey,
does you have anxiety? Like a lot?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Just a quick tune up, just too quick. Yeah, yeah,
are do you?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
As I said, you have to turn the stove off
several times before you leave the house. Yeah, oh no,
I do. Oh no, but cleaning your leaves is a
whole other Yeah that's true. Okay, thank you cleaning outdoor
leaves because sometimes you gotta spritz the indoor plant leaves.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah that's fair. I don't have indoor plants.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I can barely take care of the outdoor ones. Oh no, no, no,
I mean the fake ones. Oh yeah, no, no, okay, take ones.
You gotta kind of dust off sometimes.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Okay. Yeah. So Michelle pedals up to them on their
bike and she gives them a glum hello.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Boys.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Joey maintains his cheerfulness. Hey, biker, babe, how's it going?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Not good? Michelle says, A boy said.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Babe, baby, stake your head and gravy? Was that? Was
that a taunt that was often used in your generation? No,
but here's one of the core memories that was unlocked
for me. Oh yes, yes. First of all, First of all,
here's the problem is that Michelle boys boys of the
problem just teasing her.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
In general. It's true they're bullies.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
When Joey says the so so suck your toe all
the way to Mexico, My friends and I used to
say this and I was trying to remember why because
it just unlocked a memory.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's because of this episode.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
I when he said that, I was like, I have
what I have never heard that in my life.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
I have said that so many not anymore. I want
to be really clear. I'm not running around saying this anymore.
I think you should bring it back.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
I will, I'll do it today. But I've definitely as
a kid would say that often. My friends and I
would say that because of the show. Wow.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, I forgot about it until I watched this episode.
I'd never heard it.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
And I so it's I'm telling you right now, based
on your reaction to hearing that I said this a lot,
I think it's good that we met later in life,
you know, after come on, Like, if you would have
seen some of the stupid things that I said as
a kid, that was no better. So don't worry.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Uh So, after that.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Little ditty of a response, Danny sarcastically responds, you're a
wonderful role model, Joey shoots back, at least I don't
simonize my plants.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
What does that mean? What's that mean? I don't wow,
I don't know. We're too intelligent.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
People like like you guys post grad degrees, we're smart?

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well read What the hell does that mean?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I don't know. Is it feels like to me it's
a is Simon. Is it like a is Simon, like
a cleaning product. That's what I was trying to figure out.
Like maybe that's what it is, Like that's one of
the right at least I don't have to lysol my,
you know what I mean? Like it's a brand name
and chart's thing, but it's a brand that I think
you would only know if you were born.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Way back.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's a lot than Yeah. Yeah, so I don't I
don't know what that is. No, we're deciding that's what
it is. We're smart women, we're smart, and asks why
someone would call her a baby yeah, and she admits,
because I still need baby training wheels. Danny assures her
that kids take off their training wheels at all different ages.

(16:32):
In fact, he was a little older than Michelle when
his came off. Joey says, you still had training wheels
on your paper route, which breaks him into hysterics. Ossick yeah,
and Michelle demands, I want to learn how to ride
right now, because immediately, immediately must happen, right now or
had tiny Yeah, and Danny appreciates her Tanner spirit. Yeah,

(16:56):
so Michelle asks him to teach her, but and he
can't because Vicky is coming over to work on next
week's shows because apparently they have no producers. It's true, right, yeah,
this would not at all be how it would happen.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
But no, just come on over.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
It's also wild to me that a while ago Danny
was like, nobody can do anything with Michelle.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
This is my baby.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
I will never have an opportunity to do all these
first ever again. And now he's like, yes, teach my
child how to ride a bike. I have to produce
a show on these shoulders. This is whole thing. Rest
and also I have to go do smooches. I don't
have time for my ri I don't have time for you.
I mean, this is this has been, this has been

(17:43):
the messengerr whole life.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
We know this, we know this, and yet again, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
So we see why she freaks out. You know, she
just yeah, a lot of rejection. So where was I? Oh?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Here we go, h he says.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Danny says that he will teach her tomorrow instead, but
she is insistent on learning right now. So she turns
to her backup option and smiles Hello joe. Joey asks
Danny for permission to teach his youngest daughter how to
ride a bike. Michelle chimes in and bigs please, please, please,
with a cherry on top. Danny grins, you know I

(18:18):
can't say no to that. Michelle cleverly responds, that's why
I said it now. He finally agrees, but has one caveat.
I'm going to be the one to teach you how
to drive on your thirtieth birthday, and then he walks
back into the house while Joey pumps up Michelle getting
her ready for her bike lesson.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, it was a pretty quick dismissal.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
You know, see you later, okay, I guess. I mean
when you've got you know, when you've got to produce
a show, host a show. Uh, you got to figure
out what the lighting is going to be.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
You've got you got to do here.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
And makeup right. It's there's a lot of what going on.
It's very cute endings to the scene too, though it is.
It is very cute. They were she was like super
hyped up. It was adorable, and we think it's super cute,
and that's you know, we're excited for Michelle. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
How old were you when you learn to ride a bike?

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Do you know? Well, Jeff gave me my first bike.
That's right on the set of Full House for our
first Christmas party, and I have little pictures of me
riding around on set with it with everybody in the background,
and I believe it had training wheels.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Cute, So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I was probably ye around like like five six ish.
Yeah that feels yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah. You know what though my kids never ride bikes.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, b I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
The bee still doesn't know how to ride a bike.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I feel like nobody rides bikes anymore, like kids, right,
they don't, don't don't. When I suggest riding a bike,
they look at me like I'm insane. You love riding
a bike? I love it. I was bummed I couldn't
ride my bike this morning because it was raining. I
like to ride my bike over to the gym or
over to get coffee or run errands. You know, yeah,
save the environment, use my little environment, my little six

(20:13):
three zero bike that I love.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
It's turquoise. What is a six to three zero? It's
a it's a brand.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, But they have like really cute design bikes and
it's like a sort of like a little what do
they call it, like a Dutch style bike or something,
but it's turquoise with a little basket on it. It
is very it's a very cute bike. He'll adorable when
you ride it.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
It's so thank you.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
It does still have trading wheels. Okay, here we are
in the attic. Becky is admiring Nicki and Alex, saying
you two are the most beautiful babies in the whole world. Now,
I know every other mother says that, but every other
mother is wrong. Then Jesse walks in and throws out
a plan. Since it's the perfect day in San Francisco,
he thinks that they should pack up the kids and

(20:58):
take them on.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Their first car ride.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I mean technically would be their second, because they did
get home somehow.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Okay. Becky likes the idea, but asks if they're allowed
to do that. Jesse laughs, well, there are kids, it's
our car, and I think it's legal. I mean, it
does feel weird when they just hand you a kid
and you're like, I just so I just put it
in in the car. Horrifying and uh, and we go okay,

(21:25):
no one's gonna check anything, or yeah it's weird, it
seems super scary. Yeah that is a little nerve wracking.
But Becky excitedly declares, we are gonna hop in the
car and we're gonna take a drive, just like we
did before we had the two most beautiful babies in
the whole world. Jesse reminds Becky that there are still
the free spirited people that they've always met, and he

(21:48):
has the.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Perfect idea of where to go.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
They look at each other and Becky says aunt Ida's,
while Jesse simultaneously suggests the Harley Shop. Jesse defends his choice.
The new Ultra glides are in. The kids were just
saying that they're dying to see them. But Becky wants
to go to ant Ida's because she's got a new hairdoo.
This is a dilemma. Jesse can't hide his disdain. Look,

(22:11):
an Ida hates me. She calls me a hoodlum for
your wedding. She got you that book Smart Women, Foolish choices.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I should have read that you get the wedding. It's
too late. Why not at the bachelorette?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
No, it's until until the document is signed. I don't
think it's too late, you know what.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's fair?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Look at uh there was a whole movie about it
with Julie Roberts. Yes that's true.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
I'm not gonna name this person at all, but I
know somebody who the night before their wedding went to
their maid of honor and said, I think this is
a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Brilliant good for them.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Maid of honor said, I felt the same way before
I got married.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's okay, we're gonna get you through it.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Oh no, oh boy, that's when you go. Yeah, you know,
m I think I'm making the right decision. And I
might have also picked the wrong.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Maid of honor. Yeah, I mean it didn't last.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Obviously, the maid of honors, I know the way. Oh
I don't know about the Madive Honors wedding. But the
person who's whose story spells to be getting married, Yeah,
well they they did.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah they got married, but the marriage didn't last.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
She should have stuck with that, that gut decision sometimes,
you know, And I say that maybe from experience. Okay,
who says, here we go, Becky, Okay, here we go,
smart women, fool of choices, and we're back Becky insists
she's kidding. She's kidding. Besides, she's still my aunt. She's
been begging me to bring the twins over. Jesse lands

(23:43):
on a compromise. We'll visit the Harley shop, then we'll
go check out aunt Ida's new dou We'll be spontaneous,
you know, we're gonna ride like the wind. He tells
Becky to grab a kid, but she stops him before
they go. Alex needs to be fed and Nikki needs
a nap. She mutters, we don't want them to be
when we go to Anidas. Jesse says, yeah, and Ida's

(24:03):
cranky enough for all of us, So he cheerfully tells
the boys, you got to eat and take a nap,
and when we're done, we're gonna ride like the wind.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Doesn't that sound great?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
We see the twins who are expressionless, Uh quite yeah,
just like.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
They're I think a little littler too.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
They're sort of in the like little potato stage you know,
dude there, but they're just unless they're crying. They're not
doing too much other stuff yet. Yeah. So these two
uh non plussed babies. Uh, Jesse admires and says they
can hardly contain themselves.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now we are in the living room.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Steph and DJ are watching TV on the couch, leaning
their backs against each other in the most uncomfortable position
look possible, while snacking on popcorn.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
You guys look very young, comfortable, but you look cool.
Okays are cool?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I look like a Ralph lareen ad all right, Tommy
Hill figure, like early two thousand's buttoned up embroidered shirt
with the ruffled collar and then the embroidered I mean
it was very cute, but it was very you look,

(25:27):
you look adorable. You do look like you just sold
a house. I mean you just see fled the deal
and you're relaxing. I did or that I am the
new secretary at the kids elementary school.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
That also is a possible A very hello fellow youths.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Look yeah, absolutely, yes, hello fellow youths.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
But the lean and like you know, the there's music
videos playing the bowl of popcorn.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's a very like, oh these are cool kids. We
were very cool kids.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah. Yeah. Uh. So we're watching TV in the most
uncomfortable way possible. Now DJ hates the video that comes
on next, but the remote is all the way by
the TV, so they just decide to live with it
because they could probably never get themselves back into that position. No.
Danny walks in and suggests, Hey, it's a beautiful day outside.

(26:21):
Wouldn't you like to go get some fresh air? And
the girls respond in unison no. So he asks don't
you have some homework to do, and again they reply no.
Danny tries again, do you have any friends you want
to hang out with? And they say no?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yet again it's very much like kids today.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah. Yeah, So Danny winds, let me give you another option,
please leave, really wants to get rid of the kids.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
He explains that Vicky is coming over, which immediately sparks
Steph and DJ's attention.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
They respond oohoooo.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Danny assures them there's nothing ooh about it, which Steph
playfully argues, yes there is. You kissed her, and DJ
chimes in, Dad, I'll be so embarrassed. You two make
a cute couple. Go for it.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Danny shakes his head. He was one good night kiss.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
All right.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
We haven't even talked about it since.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
DJ gasps, what you worked with her every day for
a week and you haven't even brought it up. Why
are you such a chicken Danny and says he isn't
a chicken and that it's a delicate situation and he's
proceeding cautiously, to which Stephanie flaps her arms like a
chicken and taunts him, Yeah, I had fun with that one. Yeah,
I believe it, Danny, siys, would you girls please give

(27:43):
me a break? Maybe she doesn't remember the kiss. Maybe
she hated it. DJ tries to come for him. Think positive.
Maybe she doesn't remember that she hated it. That was
actually a good I like that.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
You got to be an optimist about that, this kind
of thing, right, Maybe she has no idea that it
was terrible.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah. Then the doorbell rings and the girls say ooh again.
Danny insists there's nothing between us, as he proceeds to
spray banaka into his mouth and quickly combs his hair,
thus burning away all of the taste buds on his tongue.
He answers the door, and Vicky happily greets him and
the girls. Steph says hi and admits, we were just

(28:19):
talking about you.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That's what you want best, that's the best character. Like
I was like, did you did you mean that?

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Or did you like, you know what.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I mean like it could have gone either way with Steph.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, I love it, like she was trying to be
a smartass or yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
So good Danny's name was.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
We were talking about the fact that you were just
outside the door and now you're inside.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
He lets out a nervous.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Laugh, so smooth like butter DJ looks at Steph and declares, Uh,
we're going to the store. Do you guys need anything? Milk, juice, chapstick.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's just so falsy.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I like it, it really is. His kids are really
give it Danny a hard time. And it's also so funny.
When my mom started dating again, I never wanted to
talk to her about this at all. No, that's no.
I feel like most kids would be like, this is weird. Yeah,
but that doesn't make for a very funny sitcom.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah that's that's fair.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, jokes gotta work. Joke's gotta work. It's always gotta work.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
So Danny Blush is telling her that they will be fine,
but Steph asks, are you sure you don't need any more?
Banaka dad? Good job?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yes, just throwing Dad right under the bus right in there.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
At that point, he practically pushes them out the door.
So that they can stop embarrassing him. Biggy admits, you
seem a little nervous.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Is anything wrong?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Danny nervously says no, no, no, no, no no no
no no no. So Vicky shrugs him off and suggests
they get to work. Danny knotts yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
She tells him, I made a list of possible guests
for next week. Joe Montana, Henry Kisser, Sean Penn. Danny repeats,

(30:13):
kiss her now, she's the one nervously laughing, No, no, Kissinger,
Henry Kissinger, it's right there. Why would I say Henry Kisser?
The names that she's suggesting are astounding. This is an
eighties or I guess the nineties now, but this is
a this is quite an episode. I would say, what's

(30:33):
the what's the theme of this episode? Like I I
I don't know, but like but but uh.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Henry Kissinger is a hell of a name to bring up.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Sure is uh?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, that's for a morning talk show. It's a pretty
that's a that's a deep dive. You know, what are
you guys going to talk about on the morning local
talk show? Like Joe Montana? Okay, could see that like
San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
San Francisco makes sense.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Sean Pan's a big get.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
But okay, I think that you lost me after Henry Kissinger.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
What are you guys gonna talk about in the morning?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
That's right? So how was that whole war thing? Yeah no,
it's not Yeah, not good. Oh boy, So Danny nods, oh, yeah,
that's right. Why would you say that, I mean, if
it's not in your list. Danny finally stops the charade
and asks, why are we doing this? We both know
that we kissed last week. She nods an agreement. You're right,

(31:36):
and now that it's out in the open, the best
thing to do is to forget it ever happened, and
Danny agrees they need to forget about it. She continues,
I mean not that it wasn't a nice kiss.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I liked it.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Danny's surprised at her confession. He admits, I liked it too,
a lot. But that doesn't matter now because they say
in unison it never happened.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
They liked it.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, there, it's a little immature moment, yeah, sort of,
but otherwise there would be no conflict. Maybe they're like,
oh my god, what have we done like.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's very true. That is very true.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, so that might maybe they were like, we don't
want to lose our job. Okay, So now we're at
the park.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
A new scene. We're at the park with Michelle.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Okay, so Joey is preparing to teach Michelle how to
ride her bike.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Where is this scene in a park? Okay?

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Ok Oh, you mean, like what actual part? Oh my,
I was like, what do you mean where is this scene?
It's obviously a park. I just said it's in a park.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Oh boy?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
What park is an excellent question. I have a feeling
it's the one that's O might be over by because
we were still at Sony at the time, over in
corn City. So I think it's that big park over there,
right across from Sony Studios, like across from the Senior
Center there and whatever. There's a big Olympic sized pool

(33:22):
in the corner and stuff, and then.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's a big park in there. You guys are still
at Sony in ninety one.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, I think we moved because we were only we
were only at Warner Brothers for the I think starting
for like the last two seasons, so for like seven
and eight or six, seven and eight maybe, but.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's why we were only there for longer.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Now, we were only there for like a little while.
That is not what I told people when I was
given towards at Warner Brothers. I mean we we that
was where we ended the show, so that was like
a big piece of it. I guess, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
It's okay.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
It's like a Hollywood tourist, so Pete, I don't know
who lives in these houses.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
People just want the story. You give people the story.
It's true.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
So first he's checking all of Michelle's safety. Here. You've
got your helmet, your goggles, your elbow pads, your knee pads,
your shin pads. You ready to ride. Michelle jokes that
she might not be able to move. Excellent. Yeah, this
is like my dad make me go rollerblading. Put shin
guards or knee pads and elbow pads and wrist guards

(34:25):
on and a helmet, and then I would just skate
around the corner and hide it all under a bush
and go do what I wanted.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
You could never be too careful, Yeah, no, So.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Joey tells her that it is better safe than sorry
in case she gets hurt. Michelle's eyes widen at the
word hurt, so Joey tries to do some damage control.
I'm sure you won't get hurt, but this way you'll
be protected if you fall off. Michelle's eyes get even wider.
She's not very pleased that he's using bad words like
hurt and fall off, so Joey tries to regain some

(34:56):
of the lightheartedness that they started off with. He gets
on Michelle's bike and her how easy it is.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
To ride it.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
As he's peddling on the tiny bike, a woman rides
by on a normal sized bike and says hello. This
catches his attention and he makes a quick u turn
to catch up to her. He's hello, Hi, this isn't
my bike. That's not my kid. I'm available. I know.
We want Joey to find love, but also poor Michelle,

(35:24):
like dad doesn't want to. That's not my kid. You
know this, Yeah, I know, poor girl. Uh yeah, I
see where she is, so whay she is? Yeah? Yeah. Also,
it reminded me of that scene in the Goonies when
Josh Brolin is riding the bicycle.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
This will not thrill you.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Remember all the things that you do,
like about me.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Okay, okay, I have a lot of qualities.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
You do, you do, and I can't kick you off
in the middle of the show, So we're going to
continue and talk about this later.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, please listen.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
This podcast be recording for the next fifty years.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
This episode's going to be Fir's never going to end. Yes,
so the woman doesn't give Joey the time of day.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Shocker.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Joey gets off the bike and hands it back over
to Michelle. He tells her to hop on, push off,
and start peddling while he holds the back. Michelle says
that's easy enough. She puts on her goggles and climbs
on the seat. Joey assures her once more that he'll
hold on the back so she has nothing to worry about.
He counts her down and she starts peddling. Then Joey

(36:45):
lets go and she continues to pedal. She triumphantly yells
this is easy. Joey cheers her on from afar at
a girl, You're doing it all by herself. But then
joe loses control and falls into the bushes, runs over
and asks if she's okay.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
I'm a monster. I laughed so hard when.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
It was.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
It was so it was.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Not very yeah, it was. Yeah, I just want to
I was like, wait, who's actually riding the bike? Yeah,
because it's not one of these stunt person. No, it's
a stunt person, very tiny person. Yeah it was. It
was just right in that bush. Yeah, just right in there.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Uh. And then when she like.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Sat up out of the bush. I don't know why
that got me too, because.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
She looked like the emoji where it's like one eye.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Kind of half a yeah, like exactly. Oh boy. So
Michelle sholls, you let go of me, and he admits
I only let go because you were doing so well.
She says, then why am I in this bush?

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Which it's an excellent response her question. Yeah, good, fair question.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Joey quickly helps her out and tells her she's gonna
be okay, but she shows him a big scrape on
her hand that says the opposite. He encourages her to
get back on the bike and try again. She says,
one of my nuts. Joey tries to convince her this time,
I promise I won't let go let Michelle shakes her head, shouting,
I'll never trust you again. Oh awful, so sad. Yeah,

(38:29):
it's a lot for Michelle. I know, he has a
scrape on her hand.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
To be fair, besides the fact that her mom died
very traumatically when she was very young and it really
shaped the rest of her life, and then nobody let
her go to therapy to talk about it. Nothing bad
has ever happened to her. So the scrape is pretty bad.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
The scrape is pretty bad. Yeah, it's a lot, you know.
All I could think was though, if only they would
have patted Michelle up much when she rode on the horse,
the show might never ended. That's true, you know, yeah, yeah,
that is very true. She wouldn't the amnesia wouldn't have happened.

(39:10):
It wouldn't have no one we would have been continuing on,
just saying. So. Now we are back in the kitchen,
Joey and Michelle are returning from the park and Joey
tries apologizing again, but Michelle remains silent, so he tries

(39:31):
his Bullwinkle voice instead.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I am not going to.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Well, you know what I'm gonna if you will talk
to Joey, will you talk to your old pell Bullwinkle?

Speaker 2 (39:42):
I am thrilled. Please never stop doing that. Please do
that for the rest of your life.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Please, what can I do to ensure that you do
that forever?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
I mean, it wasn't so bad.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Okay, it genuinely was very good. Okay, don't over I
heard in my entire life, I've never heard anything better,
and do it over. Okay, No, it was good. It
was good.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Well, don't worry. There's more.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh I know. She responds, Okay, Well tell Joey. I'm
very mad at him. So Joey relays the message to
himself in his Bullwinkle voice. Then he responds in his
normal voice, maybe you can tell her it was just
an accident and I love her like crazy. So he
goes back and forth, talking in his normal voice and
then talking in his Bullwinkle voice.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
I'm so sorry, Jones. I actually don't recall the scene.
Can you help me exactly how it went.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Basically?

Speaker 1 (40:49):
And then and then she's like I don't care or something,
and then Joey's like, I tell her, I apologize. I's
like she apologized, and then I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
and then it's a whole Basically, it feels like he's
having some sort of, uh a psychotic break and then.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
It ends and uh.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
The exchange makes Michelle smile kind of like you're smiling
right now, Kim, but she claims it's only because he's funny.
So Joey offers for Bullwinkle to fix her scrape, and
she accepts. He pulls out an aniseptic spray on the
scrape and warns her that it may sting a little
mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I'm working my voice there. You're gonna need some hot
tea after this. It's got some tea. It's just too
uh too cold now.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
So he sprays it on the cut and Michelle yells
that stings a lot.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
You lied again. Now, I really don't trust you.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
She stars, and Joey tries to blame it on Bullwinkle.
It's very sad. It is for bad he's going through it.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
It's kind of going through it. I feel worse for
him than Michelle with the scrape.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Right, you will remember that antiseptic spray that they used
to spray on you. Now, that was so painful, yes,
in the nurse's office, Like you would just eat it
on the playground on the black top and you just
grind your knees into it, right, and there's gravel in it. Yep,
little Yeah, pebbles in it and you're like, oh no,
and you go to the nurse's office and you're like,

(42:27):
I think I'd rather just bleed. And because they would
not clean it out first, they would just spray it.
Get on out of here, kiddo. We killed whatever's in there. Here,
wrap it up. Yeah, it does hurt, It does hurt.
It is it is not a little staking.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, she's not wrong to not enjoy that. No, So,
now we're back up in the attic.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Becky announces that the babies are fed, changed and still napping.
An hour later, they are ready to be spontaneous.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yes, it's uh.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
It's cute to see them trying to optimistic.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yes, so Jess walks in. Waitnt at not so fast?
We've got to put on our ctchs our car trip hats. Yeah,
very important. I didn't know why it needed like a
well acronym, but I mean, of course it does. Okay,
that's true. Obviously, that's true. It's it's a thing that

(43:28):
said often, so I get. But Becky reminds him that
aunt Ida hates it when he wears his hat backwards,
and he remembers, and out of spite, he pulls two
more hats and puts them on the babies. Then Becky
reminds him that they need diapers, so they both head
into the nursery and grab a diaper bag, deciding it's
essentially to pack everything from the changing table because they

(43:50):
grab a couple of diapers and then you're gonna need
the cream and the powder and the and the wipes
and the thing and the yeah, and just take it all.
So then Becky thinks about the weather, and this is
San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
It's nice right now, all the fog rolls in, it's
all over. She says, it could be windy.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
It absolutely could be windy, and San Francisco it's very cold,
so they grab blankets and scarves. But what if it rains,
they grab grab slickers and Galoshi booties to compensate for that.
And if it's really hot, they grab their sunsuits. Jesse,
if you give a mouse a cookie, true, But you know,
I have been in San Francisco when this day has happened,

(44:31):
when you're like, oh my god, it is so hot,
and then the fog rolls in and it starts drizzling,
and you're like, wait what Yeah, San Francisco's weird like this,
so I don't quite blame them entirely, but they also
are going to be indoors, so I don't know that
they need it. They rained here in La this morning
in the middle of our heat wave. Oh it's hot

(44:52):
and muggy outside, Scross, Yeah, it's disgusting. So yeah, so anyway,
Jesse nods in agreement and just says, I say we bring.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
The whole dresser. Why not? Smart?

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Becky has another thought. This is the first time the
boys will be away from home. I mean, maybe we
should bring something familiar in comforting. Jesse immediately grabs their elvismobiles, saying,
I've been looking for an excuse to hang these on
the rear view mirror. Anyways, so Micky wonders, do you
think they'll miss their stuffed animals, and Jesse says yes, oh,
without a doubt. So he grabs a big blue bag

(45:23):
and hands it to Becky and she then he playfully
tosses his stuffed animals behind his back while she catches
them in the bag, which is impressive by the way
she's holding it in the touch with her mouth and
two hands and catching him in there. So I was
impressed and also there were a lot of stuffed animals
in those babies cribs.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
That's the dangers arm more than I think you're supposed
to have, which is zero.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was unsettling. It's just very unsettling, like, oh,
that's seems like a little bit of a hazard. But anyway, Yeah,
we're in the la ingraom. Now back to Danny and Vicki.
They're still on the couch, working, so they say, But
as Danny is brainstorming ideas, Vicky is longingly.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Staring at him.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
When he asks her a question, she realizes she hasn't
been paying attention and awkwardly asks, I'm sorry, what did
you say? I relate to that. Danny looks at her
and admits he can't remember. I also related that, in fact,
he can't think about anything but that kiss, and Vicky agrees,
but she tries to snap herself out of it, saying

(46:32):
this is crazy. We've worked together. Danny nods, yeah, you're right,
we cannot start a relationship, Vicky adds, and who knows
where I'll be after Becky comes back to wake up
San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Danny makes sense. That's true, that does make sense.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
That doesn't make sense, and Danny tries to forget about
it again and Vicky does the same, but then they
both lean in and start passionately kissing, and as the
makeout session continues and they lean back on the couch,
Steph and DJ return back from the store. Steph witnesses
what's going on and shouts, whoa makeout San Francisco. Oh good,

(47:12):
Oh that was great. That was a good one. I
do remember, like, I remember liking this episode because I
had lots of funny, like snarky things to say. Yeah,
it was fun that I got really good. Yeah, So
Danny and VICKI quickly stop, and Danny, who's flustered and
has lipstick all over his face, demands Steph go to

(47:35):
your room. I mean, Hi, did you learn to ride
that bike yet? Uh?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
That's Michelle.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
That made me laugh out loud too, because he was
so disheveled and the lipstick and the whole thing. And
also everybody likes to make out in this living room
and then be surprised when everyone walks in. I don't
know why. It's basically a train station in that living room.
Every single person in San Francisco can be that. The
door is never locked there might be a horse. You

(48:04):
never know who's coming through that door. I say, at
least take it to the alcove. You know.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Yeah, there's one hundred thousand rooms in that house. You
can always find one. It's true. Yeah, gigantic. So where
were we?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Oh, that's right, Danny's kick came out of the room,
So Danny scrubs at his face before saying, don't you
guys have somebody else to embarrass? Steph shrugs, sorry, dad,
you two have fun playing tonsil hockey and they walk
out of the room. Pretty sounds pretty brutal. Yeah, yeah,
Danny's sarcastically right if I mentioned how precious they are

(48:44):
any signs and asks why they're doing this to themselves.
Vicky doesn't have an answer, but suggests maybe we should
just go with it.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
So Danny loves the idea.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
He continues, you know what, you're right, Let's be crazy,
let's be totally outrageous. Come with me. Let's fly to
Paris tonight. Vicky grabs his hand, reminding him that they
have a show tomorrow. Zero. There are a lot of
other reasons not at go to Paris to night. Also,
he's got flying to Paris money again, don't worry about

(49:18):
how the Tanners get their money, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yes, I don't want to ask questions. I don't want
someone to cap after me.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
No, no, no to him and Pam early twenties. They
got this house, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
None of my business.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Yep. So, since they're not going to Paris, Danny quickly
changes course and offers, uh, how about some frozen yogurt?
We can get vanilla.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Opposite.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Picky gasps, you wild man, and they rush out the
door together, very cute.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
No toppings even, just no toppings.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Also, nobody's gonna tell the kids, like, hey, we'll be
right back. Somebody's there, somebody's there, He'll be all right,
all right.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Nobody tells the kids where they're going.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Ever, Well, there's so many damn people in the house,
somebody's bound to be there.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
That's fair. That's fair. Now, I don't know what I
was thinking. I'm sorry, you're.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Right, Uh, I mean it might just.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Be Michelle, but.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Honestly, that's the most responsible person in the house anyway,
So very true.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Oh boy, So they have just left.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Then Becky walks into the living room holding both of
the babies. She shouts behind her telling Jesse to follow
the sound of her voice, and then we see Jesse
who's trying to make his way through to the living room,
but he's stuck in the doorway. His arms are filled
to the brim with the essentials they're bringing for the twins,
like two baby swings, the mobiles, several bags, stuffed animals,

(50:54):
and all.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Myriad other things, every single thing.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Yeah, they basically folded up the entire nursery and just
brought it down. Is this like when you first were
first becoming a mom, did you overpack like this? I
didn't think. I don't think I really ever overpacked, because
when they're babies, you think it's ridiculous bringing like two

(51:23):
or three changes of clothes, and then they have two
poop explosions and the outfits are ruined, and so you're
now like, I only have one outfit, so you're glad
you brought three, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
it's it's a necessity sometimes, or you just learn, you
finally learn to like pack a bag of just extra

(51:43):
diapers and some clothes and like leave that in the
car in case of emergencies. Tis, but I did not.
I did not try and pack up any baby swings
to take on a car ride. Now, interesting choice.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Yeah, everyone parent's different. I guess that's true. That's true.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
I'm glad they brought both swings though, so that they
could both swing simultaneously. We don't never know, jealous, that's true.
We could start a very poor relationship early on. Yeah. So,
after Jesse makes his way through the door, which is
another example of John's brilliant physical comedy. By the way,

(52:25):
he's so side, so great at physical comedy, he really
is so, Becky wonders if they really need all this stuff,
considering they'll be gone for just two to three hours.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
But Jesse reminds her that's what Gilligan said.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
He rolls her eyes. Oh, good point. We wouldn't want
to get shipwrecked without our elvismobiles. Also not wrong, Also
not wrong. But where has she been? Where is she's
She's been encouraging this whole thing. Now all of a sudden,
she's eye rolling. That's true, side, Becky, That's what it
felt like. It felt a bit like you were really

(53:04):
on board with this and tell all of a sudden, yeah,
what happened?

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Let him pick up the elvismobiles.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Yeah, I'm just saying so anyway, the realization of this
hits and they both say, next time we want to
be spontaneous, let's plan ahead.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Mm hmm you have twins, which.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Is yeah, that's parental spontaneity is well planned. Yeah. Then
a doorbell rings, so Becky opens the door and it's
aunt Ida. Jesse assumes she's joking since he can't physically
see the front door, but then he hears aunt Ida's voice,
and Jesse quickly drops all of the things and puts

(53:46):
on a fake grin. Hi, aunt Ida, beautiful new dude,
She shoots a fake smile right back. I was in
the neighborhood. Turn your hat around. You look like a hoodlum.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
It's cute.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Oh and Ida, okay, I you know it didn't have
family in town. I thought that too. All her family's
in Nebraska. Who's this aunt Ida? I'm suspicious.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Now Becky's a celebrity, she's booking Sean Penn and Henry Kissinger,
and maybe suddenly there's an aunt Ida.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
They don't look alike. Where's aunt idam?

Speaker 1 (54:24):
No? I don't know, though I was gonna say that
I thought aunt Ida looked like looked a little bit
like like Becky's mom. Yeah, okay, maybe it was just
the just the hair they both had it kind of
swept back like that. But yeah, no, I didn't know
that Becky had anybody in town. Maybe it's like, maybe
it's like an ant like a maybe it's an ant

(54:48):
like trying to steal her wake up San Francisco money. Oh,
it's got to be lucrative, so it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Yeah, see, well.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Well sis with this ant Eida character. All right in
the yard back Oh for sure, yeah, played by Debbie Gregory.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Okay, all right in the backyard.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
DJ and Steph walk out to find Michelle in the
backyard playing with the tassels on her bike handles. Michelle
sadly asks if they want to buy her bike. It's
only fifty cents. DJ shakes her head. Joey told us
you fell off your bike, so why don't we get
one last shot of you sitting on the bike that
you're never going to ride again. Michelle looks at her

(55:34):
sisters with suspicion. Says a trick. Steph says Michelle, Bobby, Baby,
if we wanted to trick you, we'd think of something
a little more clever than asking you to sit on
your bike. Steph's kind of a shut Yeah. Then DJ
helps Michelle onto her bike. As she's holding her she

(55:55):
winks at Steph and asks, how does she look. Steph
admits the light would be better way over there on
the other side of the park in their backyard, and
points way over yonder to the other side of the backyard.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Straight quarter mile away.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Or yeah, yeah, it's a long, it's a long. Actually,
the first scene was in the backyard. Yeah, it's the
magical backyard. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
So Joey notices what's going on.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
He's walking up at this time, and he stands by
to watch, and DJ just so happens to agree with Steph.
She tells Michelle to start pedaling and promises that she'll
hold on to her. But Michelle realizes her suspicions were
right as she shouts, stop the bike, I want to
get off. As soon as she's off, she wags her
finger at her sister's this was a trick.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Shame on you.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Steph tries to explain, I'm sorry, Michelle. We just thought
you should give your bike another chance. They gave it
a try. Yeah, you gotta give it a try. I mean,
it's just a little scrape on your hand. You're gonna
be okay. You're gonna be okay, You be okay. Joey
interrupts and asks the girls if he can talk to
Michelle for a minute. So he kneels down and says,

(57:06):
it's obvious you are way too smart to fall for
a trick. Michelle nots it's very obvious. Joey shows her
a pink gift bag and asks, would you go for
a bribe? Michelle shakes her head, never, but she still
wants to know what's inside the bag. Smart, very smart.
Joey bo said, well, if you give me a chance

(57:26):
to teach you how to ride, then you can have
your very own copy of The Little Mermaid. Gotta get
it now before it goes one. My okay, right, one
of my favorite movies. I was going to ask what
your favorite?

Speaker 2 (57:43):
A snow white? Oh, that's a good choice, strong choice.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Yeah, or actually Robin hood is also it's Robin has
a great one.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I like that. I feel like people.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Yeah, it's not underappreciated and it's brilliant. Anyway, back to
the Little Mermaid, Michelle isn't exactly wowed by the Little
Mermaid because she reminds him, it's on cable the entire month.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Oh yes, kids, that's right.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Things used to be on a cable channel like HBO,
which was called Home Box Office because it aired movies
that had already come out in theaters and you could
watch it at home and it would be there for
a whole month, and that felt like forever. Yeah, you
could watch it multiple times, and that was new and

(58:31):
cool to us.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
So welcome to the dark cages.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
So Michelle, who is very unexcited about this bribe, Joey
apologizes and explains, look, I'm sorry you had an accident,
but I had to let go. That's how you learn. Otherwise,
every kid you see riding a bike would have a
grown up hanging on the back, and she argues, well,
that's better than falling in a bush. He then said, look,

(59:00):
learning to ride a bike is hard work. No matter
how many times you fall, you have to keep trying
because once you get it right, it's worth it. She
still isn't entirely convinced, but she's warming up a little,
so Joey keeps trying, Come on, you and I are buds.
We go way back until you wiped out. Did I
ever let you down, she says no, So we asked,

(59:24):
all right, well, how about giving your old pal Joey just.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
One more chance.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
She finally agrees, okay, old pal, and he gives her
a big hug and kiss in return.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Very sweet. I liked this message though, Yeah, it's very
I liked it a lot.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
The perseverance, you know, keep going even if you fall. Yeah,
and joe is kind of the perfect person to give
her that message because even though he they're so mean
to him and don't give him a chance to succeed
or fall in love. Sure. Yeah, he failed at Star Search,
he failed at the at the TV show constantly.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Yeah, but he does try. He has like this, right,
like inherent optimism in him.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, he's a perfect one to have that exactly. This
was the perfect Joey message, like just keep trying. Yeah.
Now we're back at the park and Joey's with Michelle,
who's sitting on her bike ready to go. She looks
up and asks, you're not gonna let me go? Right?
He shakes his head, no way, not until you say so.

(01:00:33):
She begins to pedal and asks him to let go,
but he's hesitant. He asks if she's really, really sure,
she says yes, but he still can't bring himself to
do it, And after she asks him to let go
for the third time and he doesn't oblige, she shouts,
I said let go. Finally, she's pedaling all by herself.

(01:00:55):
Joey cheers her on as she does it with ease.
She shouts, I'm not in the book. He congratulates her,
you did it all by yourself, but Michelle corrects him,
nuh huh, I did it with you. Then he asks
if she wants to go for another ride. She excitedly says, okay,
well let's go. She bikes off shields. I'll race your home.

(01:01:18):
You can't catch me. Joey quickly runs after her, trying
to keep up. And that's our show. So sweet, it
was very cute. Michelle wants to ride a bike. Joey
gets a moment with the kids of being a semi
responsible adult. Yeah, Danny gets smooches. Danny gets smooches. Uh.

(01:01:43):
Ann Ida shows up. Jesse wears a hat frontwards and
backwards right. Stephan salts her dad in really funny ways,
I mean sick friends left and right. Yeah, she's working
on her comedy. You she's working on her crowd work
and that and quite frankly, she doesn't need to work

(01:02:04):
on it because she's doing excellent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Yeah she It was Uh, it was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah, so now this was a cute episode and uh,
you know it was uh uh one that I think
a lot of kids. You know a lot of kids
relate to. Yeah, the riding of the bike thing, it's
a big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
I mean, not to kids.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Nowadays, not anymore we care, but it was at one
time kind of a ride passage. Yeah, because once you
could learn to ride a bike, you had some freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
And and if.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
You forget, that's okay because then when you try and again,
it's like like riding a bike, riding a bike, right, Yeah,
what if someone did forget how to ride a bike,
maybe like this, he's really embarrassing for them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Do you have I haven't. I haven't ever where you look?
Oh do you Okay, that's what's gonna be. My next
question was, do you have an everywhere you look?

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
I forgot that I was supposed to have one, and
then I remembered and I looked, Oh everywhere it's look
I did.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
I went to the internet dot com and looked.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Okay, what what did what is what is your what
did your everywhere? Look, it's about Joey's jersey in the
very beginning, the Detroit jersey.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Okay, because did red wings?

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Right? No, it's Detroit Tigers. Oh, Detroit Tigers.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Okay. Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
The jersey that he's wearing is a nineteen forty two
away jersey. And the reason that which I knew it
was a Tiger's jersey, the reason that you know it's
an away jersey is because it's got a patch on
the side, which is a World War two health patch.
But what was exciting to me is that I thought
it was a nineteen forty fi This is so dorky.

(01:03:45):
I thought it was a nineteen forty five jersey, which
is a year that the Tigers went to the World Series.
And it's especially exciting because the Tigers are going to
go to the World Series this year.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Wow, look at that. Yeah, and they lost in nineteen
forty five, and because I am a masochist, I believe
they will win this year.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Okay, probably are you are?

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
You you're a big Tigers fan.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
I like the Tigers a lot, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I like you know the Padres, right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
A city.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
But things I've learned things I never knew. But that's
so it was like a vintage jersey. Then, yeah, that's
really cool. It's a very cool jersey. That is Huah,
I did not know. They've always don't know or not,
you know, I don't know. It might have been I
would assume, so I don't know. I don't know if

(01:04:40):
like wardrobe bought it and for him, or if he
was like, I want to wear this that because sometimes he.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Would wear his own jerseys.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah, like the Red Wings ones sometimes were his, the
ones that the mannequin wore, you know. Yeah, I think
about tracking down a second Tigers nineteen forty two or
three jersey. That would be hard to dress the sad luck. Uh. Well,
that is our show today, everybody, Kim, thank you for

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Is this crime?

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
