Speaker 1 (00:19):
So I'm just gonna jump right into our pre show
chatter Die and just dive right in, uh, which I
started to tell you before we started recording with like
and I hold it, yeah, hold it.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So my dog got skunked, oh a couple of days ago, Lisa.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
She you know, she ran and found out with a skull.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
And no, was this in your backyard or yeah it was?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
And then it was hiding.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm gonna get there, okay, okay, okay. So I'm out
in my office, which is like kind of attached to
the little garage or whatever in the backyard, and I
hear the scal inside go what do you oh, like
start you get out all, babe, babe, And I'm like,
oh no, And I'm thinking she caught something and has

(01:08):
drug a debt, because he was like, what are you eating?
So I'm like, oh my god, she's caught something and
dragged it in the house and there's got some you know.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
It was I was.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I opened the office door and then I get
slapped in the face with skunk, and I in that moment,
I just went, oh.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, because this is not an easy fix at all.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
This is not easy. This is not an easy fix.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And my dog is I think the hairiest dog on
the planet. I can't you can't even separate her fur
enough to see skin.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I'm not kidding unless it's like a little thin potter.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
And I'm like, this dog, she's a German Shepherd Husky
chow mix.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
She's so much hair.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And this and particularly she's got a very fofy neck right,
like a nice little sort of.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Fluffy chow kind of neck.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
MANA, Well, that's right where the skunk got her, right
in the thick part of her neck and her chin
and her part of her mouth, which was why she
was looking like she was eating something. She was spitting
it out of her mouth. But what this tells me
is she got closed.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, she gets sprayed.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, so we might have had a dead skunk in
our Yeah, she was close.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
It got her right in the face and the neck. Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Man, So now we have skunky dog and that will
last a year. We're like close every door, do not
let this dog inside. Plus the smell was atrocious because
she got sprayed like right in our back like prop
right in the backyard, so like the scent, and we

(02:54):
you know, had the sliding glass door open.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
In our family room, like let.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
The nice fresh air in and then the skunk sense right,
And so anyway, B comes running outside. She's like, what happened?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And I'm like, the dog got skunked? Look up online
how to get skunk out of a dog.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
She's like, Okay, start hit her phone. Be really jumped
in and was heroic in this moment. I will say
she jumped in and killed it. Yeah, Zoe was not home,
but B was there and miscal and they washed this dog.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So to back up a little bit, what the Internet
said to.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Do was do not use water right right, because it counterintuitive.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Because it's like an oil.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
If you've never seen anybody skunked up close, it looks
it's like a yellow, bright yellow.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Like oil almost yeah, it's really right.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, And it looks like someone took like a squeeze
bottle of like olive oil and just kind of sprayed
it everywhere. It's not like an aerosol spray like the few.
It is concentrated. Let me tell you, like, so dogs
wrapped up. Find on the internet. You need uh what

(04:13):
was it? A quart of hydrogen peroxide? Uh, baking soda
and a teaspoon of dish soap.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
So you know, we didn't just have a quart hydrogen
peroxide lying around. I have a small bottle, but that
was not gonna.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Do it, right, So Scout had to go get the
hydrogen peroxide whatever and be in our sitting in the
backyard with the dog, and I just wrapped her like.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
In a towel to try and kind of pull it
like you know.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, she was sitting on the little like sofa bench
thing outside and was absolutely still like ears back, just
staring into space like.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
I've seen things. I've seen things that you don't want
to see.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, like what did I do? What would I do?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
So I like wrapped her in a little towel also
because I was like, let me just keep this smell
from like wrapped her to towel whatever, went inside to
grab something, come back out.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
She's still there, like head.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wrapped in the little towel, has not moved and usually
she would jump.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Down and follow you, and when she was nope, just staring.
She's just baby. You realize that you made a very
big mistake that again. Yeah, So then Mescal comes home
and they have to make.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
A paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and dish soap,
which you then have to like rub into the spot
where the dog got sprayed and like kind of let
it sit and then wash them a couple times.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Now, washing Issa.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Is a nightmare, oh yeah, because she's massive.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Literally literally takes minutes just to get her wet because
she has that double husky coat. Oh yeah, you can't
eat the top layer gets wet, underneath still dry.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
You got it like separated it down, you know.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
So me and miss Gal are out there with gloves
on washing the dog, and mind you, mind you. It's
now like nine pm, right, because of course they're out
at night.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
So it's nine.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Pm and they're outside washing the dog. I'm trying to
shuttle like warmish water or whatever out there. Anyway, they
washed the dog twice, all the stuff they're drying her off.
I'm running around frantically finding any air purifire fan, candle,
incense that I can't.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Because our house reeked like reeked.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
She made it inside and jumped on the couch, didn't
lay down, but made it just walking inside.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Brought it in.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
And let me tell you, I don't know what is
in it that makes it grab on to every little
air molecule uh, I'm sure someone out there knows the
answer to that, who works with skunks.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
But whatever it is, damn is it powerful.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Because it was gripping every surface in my house that smell.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Two days, Oh yeah, that lea days.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
We had every window open, fans blowing air purifiers on
high in every room. I had candles like three with
candles and incense burning in the living room, the kitchen,
like the kitchen counter.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
And the kitchen table.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Uh, because it hid under the barbecue right outside of
like the door by our kitchen right right, so it
was hiding out there also the whole time we're washing
the dog and doing all this stuff. And she would
kind of walk over there with like, don't absolutely not, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Plus we were like I don't want to get skunked.
I don't want to get skunked again. I don't know
how quick they got to reload, but you know, yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Anyway, it was hiding under the barbecue so worse that
smell like really permeated that little corner there and kind
of seeped through the windows and the doors and just
it was awful.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
And only like around.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Last night was I like Okay, I can walk through
the house and not find pockets of it.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Because that was the weird thing too. You'd walk through
and you're like, I don't, oh right here, that's.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Like it's like it stays in.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
It doesn't stay.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
It goes everywhere, but it's like you'll just hit like
a wave of it and you're like, why does God?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
And then you walk a few more steps and you're like, oh,
it's gone here. So weird, weird.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Anybody out there who's gotten skunked or their dad, their
dog has gotten skunked, welcome.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, it's not. It's not fun.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
It's the worst smell. Like I would rather smell a fart.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Like give me some boiled eggs, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah, it was like it is just.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
You know, the dog, because it works.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
So we washed the dog twice that night, right, sprayed
her down, dry shampooed her the next day, brush her out,
all this stuff. Because of course it was a Saturday,
so Sunday groomer's not open. Oh right, right, so we
had to wait until uh Monday.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
We take her, I get her groomed. I'm not even
kidding you.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
This morning, I like pet I was petting her and
I like itched my nose and.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I was like, god, yeah, yeah, I was a linger.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
I washed my hands so many times when we were
like cleaning stuff and all night I would turn over
and just get a waft of skunk every time, like,
and I was like, I don't know where this is
coming from.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't even know is it my hands? Is it
my hair? Is it?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
You start to question yourself like do I really smell
that or am I just.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Read is it there? Or do I just think? Is
it in my nose?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's probably in my nose. I mean it's gotta be.
It's holding onto the air like that. It's probably gripping
every nostril hair I've got.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yes, it's the worst experience.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
It's experience so not fun.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Oh, I'm so sorry. That's okay.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
And I'm pretty sure that the skum because you know,
they crawl under things.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
They're not really climbers. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah. Next door they were doing construction and they were
ripping out trees to potentially rip the house down. Anyway,
that's a whole other drama, you know. Uh, And they
knocked holes in our fence.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Huge hole, so that's how they fixed one.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Like they're not even a hole they took out like
four slats of our fence, like you could just walk
right through it.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I was like, Uh, the dog's gonna get out. So
they fix that.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
But then there's another hole kind of further down that's smaller.
It's not like the hole slat and I have something
kind of in front of it, but it doesn't really
fit over it properly.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
And I bet you that's where the little body got in.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, because our gate is super low, like you can't
crawl under the gate.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
So he found he found an entry. Dang those construction
workers like come right.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I was like, and now and now, ye take the trees,
you mess up my teese and all sorts of problems. Yeah,
it's yeah. And even if it wasn't, then I'm blaming
it on them.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
No, but it was.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
That was the fun exciting. Uh last two days was
just trying to uh peel the skunk smell off of
surfaces in my house.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh it's the worst. I told you about the time
Holly got skunked. But we we did it the wrong
way because we didn't you put them to do research.
We put her in the bath with.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
W worst thing you can do because it's oil, oil
water it. Then you're just bathing them in a bathtub
full of it, and now it's all over them rather
than just in the one little spot.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, everywhere. And this happened at like five in the morning.
So the kids kids woke up and we're like, what's happened?
Happening right right, I'm like, just go to school, Just
just go to school. Anyways, and they came home after
like first period because it was they smelled the well
badly skunk and their backpacks that the kids were teasing
them like you smell like weed, and so yeah, yeah,

(12:06):
he calls me crying. Oh, hang on, speaking of craning.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh, speaking of speaking of holly and crying, here's the offender. Well,
she's not the offender. She was a victim. She was, yeah,
I know.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
A little girl. So yeah, the kids ended up coming
home early from school. God, because they were so horrified
by the smell.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was so glad that our bedroom door upstairs was closed,
and it's never closed for whatever reason, it was like
closed at the top of the stairs.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
And the girls rooms where both the doors were shut,
so like, thank goodness, A little bit it was a
little bit. You can smell it, but it was oh,
oh my god.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It was just everywhere, but our room was luckily pretty safe.
Like I lit a candle in there and kept that
door closed and I put a towel in her.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
I was like, she did keep this bubble, keep it
fortress against the skunk smell.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
What a weekend? So that was yeah, yeah, that was,
uh a.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Not your best weekend, not but yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
And I had been out in downtown LA earlier and uh,
you had spent you know, a lot of time and
energy down there.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
So I was like, I'm gonna go to bed early tonight.
I'm gonna And it was. I was close. I was
close to being like, shut it down, go to bed.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
And then that Lisa had different plans or the skunk
had different plans.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
That damn skunk. Look for it. At least it didn't crow.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, they like it was totally under the barbecue, just like,
I don't know what the hell just happened, but I
need to get out of here.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Hopefully it never comes back.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Hopefully.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
It's just like right, It was usually.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
A mutual agreement, like you know what we tried, we did,
never mind, we are agreed to disagree and not see
each other again.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yes, oh, man, well that was my fun. That was
what a story, though I've made some for some great
pre show chatter.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Oh that was well. First of all, the dog got skunked.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I was like, oh, this is gonna be great for
the podcast, right, yeah, like that's at times i's something
stupid happens.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now I'm like, oh, perfect, I'll mention that.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
And this was recent enough that you remembered to tell
us the right, right, it.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Was recent well, and and uh, there's no way I.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Can walk into the house and not get a little
tinge of reminding.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
It's a constant reminder.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, yeah, now I found it.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
If the rest house was okay, I walked into my
guest room closet, huh uh, and I was like.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh, it's here, Okay, it's in there.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
It's in this room now, like it just that's where
your peloton is. So how fun breathing heavily on your peloton?

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Right. The skunk smell, yeah, now it was it was everywhere.
I smelled it everywhere.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
So well, good luck with that, sweeten. I don't thank
you because that it's good now. And uh you say that,
you say that now, but I say that now.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
But I didn't like.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
You know one of us could have been upstairs not
paying attention. The dog comes out, gets skunked, and gets
on the couch inside.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now we've got to burn the couch, like you know, right,
you have to throw the dog couch is done? Gets it?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah, and I know how long it takes her to
dry off too, because of two.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Days later she's so dry. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
There were parts of her but still if you got
your fingers into like the fur, you were like.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
You're still a little damp. Yeah, this dog is.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
She's very adorable, amazing flu for cuddling and she's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, but damn is it hard to clean her?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Not good for skunking?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
No, not, it is not.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
It is not.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh well, I love that story, and more importantly, I
cannot wait to get into this episode. I didn't know
this was the one we were watching until I sat down.
I didn't need to watch it, and I was like,
it's this one.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, it's the dance, the dance again. The minute I
was in that outfit, I was like, oh, I think
I remember this.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Oh this is you, fan Ritos. You are in for
a treat today. Welcome back to how Rude Tanaritos. I
am Andrea Barber and I'm Jodie Sweeten, and today we're
discussing season five, episode eight, Got a.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Dance, Gotta Gotta Dance.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
This is such a fan favorite episode and I am
so here sorry that is outrageous.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
I did not remember all of the things that happened in.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
This yes, yeah, I thought this was like three episodes.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
One episode. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
It originally aired November fifth, nineteen ninety one, and it
goes a little something like this, Danny has a dream
that Stephanie dances on Broadway and Becky tries to call
Jesse into attending her baby shower. That's a mild little
description that doesn't nearly cover it enough.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was like, well, he has a dreamed that Stephanie
dances on brow because she's fighting to go to this
dance school.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah. Really, the story is Stephanie wants to go.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
To a dance school yep, and is torn between doing
it or not, and then Danny starts living vicariously through
her and has a weird dream sequence and then that's
what happens.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Oh, there's a lot of layers. There's a lot of
layers to this storyline, and it is just peak full house.
I really love it so much. It was directed by Joelswick.
It was written by Stacy Hurr. Okay, so we have
some fabulous guest stars this week. We have r ahil Off.

(17:31):
What a character this guy is. Oh my god, he's fantastic.
He's known for License to Drive nineteen eighty eight. He's
known as Leatherface in leather Face, Texas, Chainsaw Massacre three.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
H Okay, it was like he's the original okay.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Three, Yeah, got he. He was in Pumpkinhead two and
Hatchet too. He's very big on horror, and he's very
big on sequels and yes. Next we have Page Pengra,
the dance instructor, which I'm surprised was not Debbie Gregory.
I was a little disappointed, to be honest.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, well I think I think I think that was
over the point. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Yeah, they broke up it.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
But they broke it up and it was not time
to recast.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
So enter Paige Pengra, who is now the new dance instructor.
She's known for Murder. She wrote Dallas and Bold and
the Beautiful and then, last but certainly not least, we
have Dorian Gregory, who is uncredited for some reason, but
he is a lovely attendant at the baby shower, the
co ed baby shower, and he's known as Darryl Morris

(18:45):
on Charmed. He did seventy eight episodes of Charmed until
he was cut in season seven for budget cuts. And
the fans were very, very well.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Said about that. Yeah, that was a wild set story.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
It wasn't because of Shannon Dolerty. That's a popular rumor
that it was.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
It was. Yes, it was a budget there was. It
was just a hard set to work on. I think
it was a lot of strong personalities.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Totally, totally. So those are our guest stars. They they're fabulous.
And here we go. We start with a teezer in
DJ's room. We got our teasers back. There's no teaser
last week. We got a teaser this week. So I'm
feeling more comfortable.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
I think last week we forgot, we forgot the teaser.
Were we running all right? No, that was a terrible joke.
We got we forgot the past week the episode because
it's about the.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Guy, it's about the Oh my god, Jony Sweeten what.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
And it took me so long to get that, Like
we are.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Sorry. I hadn't. I'm a terrible person.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
No, I can't read the joke and it's never if,
so you got to explain it.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
It's obviously no, it's just.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
I'm just not functioning at one hundred percent today. But no,
I will join you. I'm in the seat next to
you on that train to hell because I think, thank
God right dragged you.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Into it pretty much. Yeah, I'm like, come on, you're
sitting next to me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Say after forgetting about the teaser last week, we got
it back this week. We're in DJ's room. DJ is
sitting at her desk, staring longingly at her phone. Michelle
walks in and questions, what are you doing. DJ's sighs,
waiting for Jeremy to call, and then she slams a

(20:29):
hand down and declares, that's it. I don't care how
cute his dimples are or how bad I need a
date for Friday. I wait for no man. She checks
her watch and cringes for more than an hour and
a half. I'm pathetic, and she stomps out of the
room and DJ has entered her side Swept bangs era.

(20:50):
I like these, I mean I like the spiderweb bangs,
the bab.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
They're calming down a little bit.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
They're closing down in the nineties, and it's like, let's
put down the aquinet and.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Chill saw quinette. Yeah, more and more side sweeping so on.
Cue the phone rings, and since Michelle is the only
one in the room, she takes the liberty of answering it.
She tells the person on the other line, Hello, Jeremy,
you're late. DJ runs into the room and breathlessly asks,
is that Jeremy. Michelle ignores her sister and sternly tells

(21:23):
the boy, Hey, mister Dimple's. DJ waits for no man
and she hangs up the phone. This was such a
funny delivery, like this is so great.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
She was so f I was like, yep, that's right.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, oh no, oh, girl is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
DJ frowns naturally, and Michelle tells her he sounded cute.
Next time, give the guy a break. And that's the teaser.
That was very, very cute. You can actually see the
Olsen's acting skills or like what like they're yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Getting like oh, I understand like what they get conversation
now at this point in mood and emotion, and you
know they're.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Understanding, I pretend.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, it's really great to watch it, especially because we're
watching it in such close succession. Yeah, it's really great
to see how just how much they've grown in the.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Last for five years.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
So next in the kitchen, Jesse is making dinner when
Joey walks in sporting his Arranger Joe uniform. He cheerfully
greets Howdy ho, Jess. Jesse winces and responds, oh, howdy ho,
Arranger Joe. Then mister Woodchuck pops up behind Jesse's shoulder
and asks, don't I get a Howdy ho, mister Woodchuck.

(22:43):
Jesse pushes the puppet out of his way without a
second thought, Oh the joys of living with a kiddie
show host. He pats Joey on the shoulder and tells
him to have a good show. But Joey is not
easily dismissed. He brings mister Woodchuck over to Jesse again
and says something delicious. Jesse rolls his eyes and responds,
I'm making beef stew. Mister Woodchuck clarifies, I was talking

(23:08):
about the spoon. Is it made of wood? Jesse's had enough.
He threatens the puppet to get out of his face,
or it's gonna be Woodchuck stew Instead. Mister Woodchuck points
out Jesse's grumpy behavior, which causes the two of them
to get into it, but Jesse soon realizes he's arguing

(23:29):
with a puppet, and so he tries to contain himself
until mister Woodchuck points out that he is losing this argument,
which prompts Jesse to start strangling him. And you can
tell Dave is loving.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Right, Yeah, oh for sure, just kneedling it, loving it.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Relishing this torture. Then Danny and Stephanie walk in, and
Stephanie is in the middle of pleading with her dad,
asking if she can do it. She even recruits Joe
and Jesse, saying tell him to let me do it.
Jesse instantly gives in, telling Danny, come on, let her
do it.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Do what?

Speaker 1 (24:08):
So?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Danny explains Steph's teacher thinks she might have a career
as a professional dancer. Stephanie adds, there's only one thing
stopping me from being the happiest I've been in my
whole life. She begrudgingly turns to Danny in sighs of
all people, and I can see you starting to break
just because you're trying to keep a straight face while

(24:30):
looking at Bob. Oh, yeah that was Yeah, it's so funny.
Danny reminds her that this is a big commitment. She'd
have to take special classes before and after school and
on the weekends, plus earlier bedtimes and less TV, but
Stephanie insists she'll do anything, and Jesse backs her up.
Come on, the kid's got a dream. If I had

(24:52):
been that focused on my music in the seventies, who
knows what would have happened. Joey pipes up, Yeah, it
might have been you singing macho man in that head dress,
and Jesse frowns. I would not have been in the
village people, and if I were, I would have been
the construction guy. Danny remembers that all he wanted when
he was Steph's age was to win an Olympic gold

(25:14):
medal in the high jump. He wonders, if he could
have given it his all, would he have made it?
Jesse and Joey shake their heads and say no. In
unison with perfect timing, Steph uses her dad's words against him,
do you want me to go my whole life? Wondering
if I would have made it. Danny scoffs, whoa good guilt.

(25:36):
Steph continues, I promise I won't let you down. She
gives him a huge hug and begs, please, please please.
Danny gives his blessing, considering he doesn't want to be
like his father, who never let him put a high
jump pit in the living room as a kid. That
visuals very that's quite a visual.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
A lot of sand, lot of sand, and you know
how sand is once you get in the house.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Sick glitter, not a Tanner quality. No, Dan Tann would
not want sand in the house. No, no, So Stephanie
thanks him for allowing her to do this, and Danny
encourages now you go out there and be the best
darn high jumper you can bet and Stephanie Grinn's reminding
him that she's a dancer. And this leotard like finally

(26:21):
get a wide shot of your leotard.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
At the end, it was like a little like leotard
with the bike shorts moment and the hair, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Rainbow neon rainbowes yes, oh just bright colored and spandex
and yeah, oh it was adorable.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Not subtle at all, No, not subtle at all.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
So freaking cute.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I do.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
I remember those dance outfits, like did you like him
as a kid?

Speaker 4 (26:50):
I feel like you would.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I mean I wore him, you know when I would
go to dance class. Yeah, you had like, you know,
little cute little things. Now it's like now if you
go to a dance class, it's like you have to
you have to look so hard, like you didn't try.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
But it's so much trying.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, it's a lot of trying. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, Yeah, it's like a lot of.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Finding the perfect off the shoulder shirt with the thing
in the moment, and especially if you go to like
a hip hop class like you, it's kind of.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Part of the vibe. So yeah, yeah, it's always it's
it's always a thing.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But yeah, I remember those outfits from my from my
dance days, my studio se days.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Go damn it. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
This is just this episode was literally made for you.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Next, in the living room, DJ and Michelle are sitting
on the couch mailing letters and DJ's green and yellow
black argyle sweater this is this is a choice with
a white turtleneck underneath.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, per fashion this episode, it was it was the
turtle neck that was throwing the turtle neck was It's
just I don't know, Francisco's cold, you know, I keep
your throat warm.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
It just it felt different for DJ. I don't know something.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Maybe it was a little covered, a little.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Our gyle. I don't know, I missed the mustard. The
mustard yellows our go.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
What's happening in the nineties, Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, remember I mean like once, I mean and even
late nineties, like we got to Clueless and there was
our gyle.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
And plaids and you know, yeah, the patterns. Patterns were
very in Yes, in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
So true.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
So Michelle is in charge of putting a stamp on
each envelope, but when she licks the first stamp, her
face sours. You gross. Don't you have some chocolate stamps?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Back in the days when you had to lick a stamp?

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Mm?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
No, sits now?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah, my mom would have one of those like wet
sponges yep, that she would put yes.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
So that you could yes, yes, you had.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
It was like a sponge specifically made to wet stamps
for people that worked in offices and stuff like that,
and you had the little stamp roll you could buy
the grocery store and you get your stamp and it
would you take it off and you'd.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Have to rip it apart.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, the perforation, get it wet and stick it on there.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, and it didn't taste great. Tasted like glue.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Right, it's definitely hazardous. It does not taste like chocolate.
Michelle has an excellent point here.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Then Becky and Joey walk in. Joey is telling her
there is no way she will get Jesse to go
to her baby shower. She'd have to club him over
the head, tie him in a sack, and drag him there.
But Becky is unconvinced. She reminds Joey that it's the nineties.
Men are much more open minded about this stuff nowadays.
She turns to DJ for reassurance. DJ thinks he'll come

(29:35):
on only if Becky clubs him, sacks him, and drags
him there.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I would agree with that.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
I agree with DJ. Becky realizes she can't club him,
but she can trick him. She'll make a co ed
baby shower and invite all of his buddies, making him
think it's just a regular party. She looks at each
family member and asks, we're all going to keep the secret, right, Joey,
DJ and Mille say right, but DJ looks at her

(30:03):
sister with hesitation. She reminds Becky that Michelle has never
kept a secret in her life. Michelle argues, uh, huh,
you don't know when I put on your makeup. DJ
looks at her with surprise, and Michelle quickly covers her mouth,
saying oops. Then Jesse walks in, asking what's going on.
The girls quickly hide the invites, but it's kind of

(30:25):
obvious that they're hiding something, so Jesse repeats his question
what's going on? Michelle insists we don't have a secret,
rite aunt, Becky, and then she gives her a sly wink.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Not obvious, so subtle.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
It's such a little.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Kid think to do? Right?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
I take a cookie out of the cookie jar? Right?
So great? So Becky lets out a nervous laugh before
telling her husband I wanted to have a party, one big,
final monster blowout before we become parents. Jesse tells her
that's a good idea and asks how he can help,
but Becky shoes him away, telling him that she will

(31:04):
handle everything. All Jesse has to do is show up.
Michelle grins and shouts sounds good to me. Jesse asks
Michelle what she means by that, and she simply responds nothing.
So Jesse dismisses himself and Michelle boasts to Aunt Becky,
Now that's how you keep a secret. Next, in the kitchen,

(31:26):
after putting together a beautiful three scoop ice cream Sunday,
Jesse not so subtly calls out for Michelle.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I mean, he went right for her kryptonite. He knows.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
He is like, look, I know you have a sugar issue.
I know you have a problem with this. Yep, I'm
gonna I'm gonna lean into it.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
And yeah, and did he like this is a massive
this is a massive secon Yeah it, oh, gigantic, gigantic.
So Michelle quickly runs into the room and spots the
sweet treat. Immediately, she shouts, whoa baby and darts toward
the ice cream, but Jesse snatches her before she can
take a bite. He calls her a little sugar.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Freak it yeah yeah, and he.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Sets her down at the table. He casually pours a
heap of chocolate sauce all over the ice cream before
asking Michelle, is there some kind of secret about this party?
That Becky's throwing. Michelle responds, I can't tell you.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
So.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Jesse decides to spray a generous amount of whipped cream
onto the Sunday. Next, he admits he'd love to share
with her, and Michelle responds, I'd sure love that too.
Jesse slides the Sunday over to her and says, let's
talk about that secret, then, shall we. Michelle eyes the
dessert and wonders, what do I do? What do I do?

(32:46):
Jesse hands her a spoon and begins to pour chocolate
sprinkles on top of the Sundays.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
There's no way she can resist irresistible right true?

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Justin Michelle is about to lose it. Jesse dangles a
Marichino cherry in front of her face.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Those are my favorite.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I would order a Shirley Temple with extra cherries just
to get it.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Just for the cherries. Yes, it's just that perfect amount
of sweetness and sugar good delish. Michelle follows this cherry
with her eyes before spilling it. The party's a baby shower.
Now drop that cherry and this is brilliant. How Ashley
was able to move her eyes big eyes? Yeah, yeah,

(33:29):
it was great, as Michelle starts to dig in. Jesse
says aloud a baby shower. It's worse than I thought.
He thanks his niece and she responds with a mouthful
of Sunday. You're welcome. Is there anything else you want
to know?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Jesse? You can't even understand it was right.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
I had to read subtitles because I had no idea
what she's saying. Jesse shakes his head no, admitting that
he wouldn't want to spoil her dinner, but he does
take a bite of the Sunday for himself. Did you
have a baby shower? I don't remember going to any
baby showers for you.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I did. I had, but they were like smaller ones
I didn't have.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Do you have two of them? Are just one for
Zoe the firstborn?

Speaker 3 (34:17):
I had one for just one for Zoe and one
for b.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, I remember your wedding shower. Don't remember your
baby shower, But yeah I had. I had one baby
shower just for Tait, right, and not for Felicity second
born always gets you know, the short shrift. But yeah,
I had one, and I did want my husband at
the time, Jeremy, to attend. I don't know why, like
I don't know why this was important to me? Why
is this important? I'd pregnant women.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
To me, I was like I don't care, you know, yeah,
I think I was more like, like, look, I am
not going to brag, but I'm pretty good at baby
shower games.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
All right, Really.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
This is a put me in a contest where you
have to guess the chocolate bar that's melted in the diaper.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
I got it at the time. Every time you know,
you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
It like that's butterfingers, yep, yep, yep, it's I mean,
of course it's made.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
But yeah, once you can get past the visual like
I would have to.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Close my melted chocolate bar, I can see it. It's okay.
Put this on your resume, Jo, It's impressive.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Yeah, too funny. So next up in Stephan Michelle's room,
DJ walks in, asking Stuff if she would like to
help set up decorations for babies Becky Becky's baby baby,
and again with DJ's outfit choices. I'm so stuck on this.
This time it's a velvet purple long sleeve top with

(35:52):
white roses I think, and like pistachio colored pleated shorts.
It's just just, oh.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
God, I don't even know that. I don't know why
I believe I didn't notice that.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I think I did notice the shorts because I was like,
shorts and line, like it was just but I'm jarring.
It's jarring, and I think it's like.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
What the hell is the shirt?

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Well, DJ's normally so fashionable, you know, and fashion forward,
especially for the nineteen nineties, but this just maybe it
was great in the nineties, I don't know, but it
was very distracting from me, right, Probably I didn't notice them.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Uh So.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
Stephanie responds, Oh, I wish I could, but I have
to get ready for my dress rehearsal. DJ admits I
have to give you credit. Ever since you started taking
these dance classes, all I've seen you do is eat, sleep,
and dance. If I had your discipline and dedication, I'd
have no life, and she walks out, leaving Steph to
ponder these words. She turns to comment and insists, I

(36:52):
have a life. I have friends who I never see anymore, and.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I haven't anymore. We don't see any of Steph's friends.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Have friends comes through in a few seasons. She says,
I have my family, who I never say anymore, but
I have eight hours free every night. But of course
that's when I'm sleepy. She eventually just throws her hands
in the air and realizes I have no life. Commet
lets out some lard but loud barks in response, and

(37:23):
I like, lard barks, lard lard barks. We should just
with all of my all of these little mispronunciation sins
of lard barks.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Lard barks.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yeah, so Commet lets out some lard barks in response,
and Steffany nods, you're right, I'm gonna tell Dad I quit.
Of course, she has step has to resort to using
a dog as her therapist, Like she.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Really, I don't even get I don't even give a
Shelley at the dog.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
But honestly, that's exactly what I do today. So you
know what, if I had to choose, I'd be like,
I'm going with the dog, and definitely going with the dog.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Doggs the better bet.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah. Dogs, incredible therapist. Yeah, great listeners, very comforting. Seriously,
I mean he gives good advice. Look at him, He's
constantly we have convo. Convosy, I say something, he responds.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
It's obvious I can speak to him.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
You're some bonded.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
I will say that. I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
I was like, oh, I do love like stuff always
has a lot of scenes with comment.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, I was always hanging out with the dogs and
love the dogs.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Yeah, middle child, you and no one else I know.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
I Yeah, mister bear, that was better.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yeah, mister baron comment. That's okay.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
What has been the well, I guess it's been a
few weeks. Okay, never mind, because I was like, oh yeah,
because she's like ever since I saw you start and
I was like, okay, so this isn't like next day,
this is it's been.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
A couple Well.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah, they've set the invitations showers.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Having probably like you give four weeks.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
It's probably been like three or four weeks. You got
to give your guests advanced notice of the shower. So, yes,
it's been a few weeks. So next in the kitchen,
Becky excitedly tells Danny and Joey that they are gonna
love these shower games. They have guessed the number of
diaper pins, name that baby food, and draw the baby

(39:08):
on a paper plate on your head.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Ooh, I forgot about that one.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
That's a hard one. Yeah, Danny and Joey sarcastically ooh
and ah at each of these riveting activities. Then Jesse
yells up from the basement, asking Becky where she is.
She and DJ frantically hide the baby shower items underneath
the table before he can see. When Jesse appears, he
asks her, are you sure there's nothing I can do

(39:34):
to help with this big monster blowout party you're throwing.
Becky assures him that everything is taken care of, so
Jesse puts an arm around her and gushes to DJ,
isn't she a jewel? The way she babies me and
showers me with love? Everyone lets out a nervous laugh
before Becky pushes Jesse out of the house, telling him

(39:56):
to go to the movies, and she even hands him
ten bucks.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Oh my god, remember you'd probably get a drink and
a popcorn too.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
A small, small popcorn and a small drink.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Baby, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
You've might be getting la large for ten bucks in
nineteen ninety one, Ye know.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Sonny thirty five dollars for a bucket of popcorn.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Jesse gasps at the handout and says, she even gives
me the money. Can you believe this? I can't wait.
This is going to be the biggest, baddest blowout this
block has ever seen. He throws up a fist and says,
shake a rattle and roll before walking out. Becky closes
the door and shrugs, well, he got the rattle part right.

(40:39):
She waddles over to her niece and admits she's starting
to feel pretty guilty about all of this. On cue,
Jesse shouts from the backyard, love you, sweetheart. DJ winces
at the sentiment and responds, you should have just clubbed him.
They walk away, and Stephanie enters the room to have
the conversation with her dad. Before she can get a

(41:00):
word in, Danny happily grabs her dance costume for the recital.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Oh there's the costume.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
It airs, Oh, I should have worn I have.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
The hat you have, not the original hat, but I
have the hat that Mitchell that when I did the
dance with Mitchell Johnson, he found a sparkly hat.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Oh why didn't you wear that for this for this recap?

Speaker 3 (41:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I can't believe I didn't. That's right, I'll find it
in my closet and wear it for the next one.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Okay, sounds good, so Danny is very proud. He shows
off this costume Stephanie and admits it looks great. He
stares at it with admiration. I stayed up all night
sewing on the extra sequence. I feel like Liberaci's dad.
Steph gives him a half hearted smile. So Danny continues,
do you know your teacher thinks you're the most promising

(41:52):
student in her class. He's beaming with pride. I may
not have made it as a high jumper, but you
could want up as a star on Broadway. He looks
off into the distance and waves his hand across the screen,
transitioning us over to a dream sequence.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
And sequence, here we go, we dooy? Is it a
dream sequence?

Speaker 4 (42:16):
In a minute, we're doing a dream sequence.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
It's it's like basically a Buzzby Berkeley musical from like
the thirties forties. Yeah, there's feathers, dancing suits.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
This is so outrageous, Like, this is so outrageous and
it was so full house. I have thoughts. I'll save it,
let me describe it.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Yeah, yeah, we'll get into describing it, and then I
can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Oh yeah, so in this dream sequence, multicolored lights flash
across the stage with a big door in the middle.
Joey and Danny walk across the stage wearing white suits
with bright blue bows and cummer bunts.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
I remember them doing that, by the way, because they
were just screwing around the whole time. Just just and
Joel be like, could you stop looking like it?

Speaker 4 (43:05):
You know, just do the scene as it scripted, right,
And they of course have the embellish They sing She's Dancing.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Then do you remember wait, do you remember that Bob
and Dave had a different version of that song?

Speaker 4 (43:18):
Oh no, what was the different for me?

Speaker 3 (43:20):
He pans me. He pans me, Yeah, yeah, he pants
me instead of She's dancing.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
So that was when they were siting.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
They would cross the thing and Joel be like, just the.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Poor Joel had no control over.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
That, none, he pans me.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
Then Jesse and Becky appear in these same outfits, singing
She's Dancing. They try to execute a lyft, but Jesse
is incapable of lifting a pregnant Becky. Lastly, dj and
Michelle appear from the wings, wearing the same tuxedos and
singing the same line. Every family member is on the
stage to present Stephanie, who is standing behind the extravagant

(44:05):
door wearing a gorgeous blue gown with a matching feather boa.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Okay, I can I have vivid memories of that dress.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
It can only imagine.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So when we did this episode, we were still on
the Sony lot, oh.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Lor Mar, I think still at the time at the time, right,
Originally that was.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
MGM Studios where they did The Wizard of Oz and
you know all of the I mean every huge MGM
movie you've.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Ever seen was shot on that lot.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
So anyway, so that what they do have there is,
as you know, most studios do, an incredible costume department.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Oh yeah, and this.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Was like an in house special designed costume. And the
woman who uh did my uh like fitting or whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Had been there. She was older, probably in her late seventies.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Her name was Wilma and she had and like Gina
and Roberta went over there with me and it was
I did this fitting in this giant fitting room, like
like old school fitting room, big triple mirror with a
little platform in front of it, so you can see,
I mean, like the real deal, the real deal, like

(45:36):
Vivian Lee was, you know, trying on costumes in that.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Like that kind of stuff where you're like.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
This is a piece of like history, Oh yeah, where
people have been fitted for you know, Judy Garland's been
in here to give everybody and everything. That's six and yeah,
and Wilma had been there for fifty years, so she
was now like the head seamstress or whatever, but she
had worked on you know whatever fifty years before ninety

(46:04):
one was day.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Yeah, so she's iconic.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
She was iconic, and it was such an honor to
have her design that dress.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Oh it was and it was stunning. And then there
was the little like.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Shorts outfit to the little like sort of that little moment.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
And I didn't like that one as much. Really wasn't flufy,
it didn't happen and spin it, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Okay, okay, it was like, what was I ten?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
I want to spin you want to be? I wanted
the drama. I wanted to I wanted to swan about
you know what I mean. That's really like Burla and
the thing I just was having my son's set boulevard
moment and yes, I'm ready for my close up mister.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Uh, But I I.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Didn't like that other outfit as much, and we were
we were shooting and after you know, I had this
custom dress made and everything, and then the other one
was also custom made.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
Not to not but again I was in love with
the dress.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
And uh, we finished shooting the first part of the
dream sequence where I'm in the dress, and then it
was time for me to go change into the into the.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Shorts, into the little hot pants thing.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Okay, and I freaked out all one and only time
I got upset, like not yelling, but I started crying. Oh.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
I was like, really wanted to change out on the dress.
I really like the dress, can wear it for the
whole thing. Oh yeah. I was just like sobbing.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
This is so innocent, like you're only ten.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Yeah, and I just really I would loved the dress.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
And anyway, uh, how did she change? I was like
crying or whatever. And Jeff came up to my mom
was like come here. He was like I cannot have
a ten year old holding up the schedule like this,
Like she's got a good change and we've got to
do it. He was like I'm really sorry, but like
we can't do this right, you know, And my Mom's
like I know, I know, and.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
It wasn't being a dick. It was it was. It
was I Jamie was at this point it was like girl,
pull it together, change clothes, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
But as a nine year old, I was heartbroken. And
so anyway, I uh yeah, that dress and that outfit
and that dream sequence. Yeah, that was the one and
only time ever. Even Jeff remembers it. He's like, that
was the only time you ever like held up the
shoes upset or or and that anything like it went

(48:34):
wrong for you, Like you that was the one time.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
And I was like, this a great dress.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
And it was over a dress. Yeah, it wasn't a
dress dress.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Just over a dress was a beautiful dress.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
But anyway, that was that was the the costuming part
of it. And then the hair so grown up, the
hair all done up and just that and uh I
was loving it. I mean I was just.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
You can tell by your siding line.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
It was also in my princess eras, so I was
like very much, you know, the beauty the beast to
come out yet, but I was like I grew up
with Disney princesses. I felt like a Dizzey princess in
that dress. And I didn't want to take it off.

Speaker 4 (49:12):
Yeah, I don't blame you. It was your moment, your
moment moment.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Yeah. And the other one just didn't feel as special.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
Well it was more trendy. It wasn't as glad.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Well it was.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
It was just very like forties sort of the cute
little like hot pants, you know, backup singer moment. But
I just was like, it's not my style is I
would much prefer that to the dress, right, I'm like,
oh god, I don't want to flore the dress and
the feathers and crap everywhere.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Yeah, at the time.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
You couldn't have peeled it off me. And so anyway,
it was a bit of time. I was crying, and
then I changed and then I went back out and
I did the second half of the thing. Yeah, because
you're a the first shot where you're like, you know,
they in that second outfit is like they lift up
feathers and I'm like that, you know, at the camera,
and I remember I was like dying inside, you know

(50:02):
what I mean, And they were like, I'm just doing
my job, and just doing my job.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
I couldn't even tell, like I couldn't even tell that
you were upset, like you just had such good energy
throughout the whole scene. So well, I go.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
And wear fun outfits and the singing. They told me,
they were like, we want you to sound like ethel Merman.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
Oh okay, So.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
They were like a lot of vipers. So I was like, okay,
so that's why I sound ridiculous like that. It's not
because that was how I could sing.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
It was a direction.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Ryan Kale was like showing like they were showing me
videos of ethel Merman so that I could replicate it.
And I was like, all right, that's what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Voice that came.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yeah, it was very bob billy, sort of over the top,
and I loved it.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
You we're so in your element.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
To do this dancing, singing, acting dresses. Please still see
this day.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
I would love to do live theater, oh man, I
would love I would love to do Broadway, not singing
like ethel Merman though, or maybe I don't know, it depends.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
On the show.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
But now, this was a very fun episode for me.
And we haven't even gotten.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Oh we haven't even gotten to the main part. No,
we're still on still in a dream sequence. But it
was just, yeah, I forgot what I was going to
say now, but I it was just thrilling to watch you, yes,
do this and you could just tell you were born
to be on this stage. We should have recreated this
in fuller house, to be honest, this would have been
an amazing recreation.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Me with a good time man Mitchell might just pull
it off.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
And well, he'll play every family member in it too.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
It'll be great, so funny. The family finishes Stephanie's dramatic intro.
Steph launches into the song and dance. The family is
backup vocals and backup dancers for her. H. Danny gets

(52:06):
down on one knee to belt out I'm living out
my childhood ambitions through you, which is very self aware.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Right right, say that at least in his dream sequence,
he knows what he's doing.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
Yeah, yeah, he admits to it. Stephanie does a couple
of turns and falls into Danny's arms as he smiles
directly into the camera. So much flair, I could tell
you wearing those little mini heels, Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
No, I had little on. Yes, gotta have the character shoes.
That's what makes it.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
From head to toe.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
You were Roberta and Gina had the best time with me.
Creating this look chi so much, and I just remember
being with them, two women I love and like with
Wilma and them telling me the stories about her and
all stuff, you know, because they were dancers in the
right in.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
The fifties and sixties, so like it was just cool
to hear, you know, these background stories.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
What a great episode for you, Gina and Roberta and
even Wilma, Like, what a truly great episode for them.
So then we transition to a high jump pole that
has randomly been set in the middle of the stage.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
It's a dream sequence, nothing matters.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Danny takes his place as a drum roll sounds behind him,
and then he or his stunt double proceeds to do
a round off back tuck flip over the pole with ease.
Then we cut to giant showgirl feathered fans circle in
the middle of the stage. Like this camera work was impressive,
Like the birds shot.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
We had to get a jib and a sting, a crane,
you know.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
It was this is season five, budgets a lot and
this was all one week.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
This was two dances. This was just one dance. We
had the other one to get to.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
This is just the dream sequence. This isn't even reality yet?
Are So each person pulls a feathered fan away to
reveal Stuff in the middle in her little blue sequin jumpsuit.
They sing, she's Stephanie Tanner, and Stuff boasts that's me.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
She's also if I remember, right, I think, you know,
Candice and I were in some sort of like argument
or I don't know, we were being sisters and we
were you know some I just remember that week she
was like just probably miserable.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yeah, and we're a text was a very sister moment. Yeah,
I'm sure it.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Was like, oh god, she's like spotlights on her she
gets medical dance, I'm stuck in a white text, you remember, Yeah,
so great, it's we end the sequence with with kicks,
like those little showgirl kicks. The family joined behind her.
This was like Shirley Temple meets Jajah goobor like it's

(54:50):
just like conic. Yeah, so what conic. We fade out
of this amazing dream sequence to see Danny doing these
same high in.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
The middle of the kitchen with this long ass legs.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Yeah, so gangly. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:09):
So I mean, was this stream sequence ridiculous?

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Did I buy into it? Yes?

Speaker 3 (55:15):
I putn't do it because.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
It was revealing what's inside Danny Tanner's brain, and in
that sense it makes sense to me. I mean, yeah,
I don't know why the other dream sequences, you know,
the Michelle dream, like those, this one. This one was
not so fine, pure enjoyment, pure show Broadway, thrown right

(55:38):
in the middle. I loved it. I'm here for it.
I can't believe I'm saying that about a full house
dream sequence, but here we are.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
It was one of the it was a great It
was one of the best like sequences on the I'm
not because it was mine, but truly, like what big moment.
It was fun, one of the best moments. I think
definitely this season.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
Well done, equal parts ridiculous and fabulous. I'm here for it. Yes,
So Stephanie waves him out of the dream and he
tells her, I am so glad you talked me into
letting you do this dance program. When you put your
mind to something, you go all the way with it.
And then he remembers, oh, what is it you wanted
to tell me? And stuff stutters. Uh, just that I'm

(56:19):
ready to go. Danny Grin's saying he just has to
grab his car keys. He proceeds to glide out of
the room, singing, she's Stephan, a ten or and she's
here to stay with his gangly limbs, and poor Steph

(56:39):
she's just of course, you can't tell him the truth now,
he just did not have to dream. It's expensive, yes,
and now can't quit now, Nope. Next we're at the
baby shower in the living room and Becky is passing
out or dures to her friends and Jesse's friends, who
are looking a bit uncomfortable, but Becky is sure them

(57:00):
they're going to love this. She asks DJ to announce
the first game, so she does. Whoever has the bunny
stamp on their rattle wins this lovely set of blue potholders.
The guys check their rattles and Danny exclaims, I won.
Those are gonna go great with my checkered dish towels.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Lovely blue.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
He loves blue.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Is blue?

Speaker 4 (57:26):
What a perfect winner for this.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Of course they're checkered dish towels, because nothing in this
house is not checkered.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
Matches, the couch, patches, the matches, everything. Uh So the
men give Danny a weary look and he adds, oh,
as if I care then Jesse shouts from the kitchen
that he's back. Becky quickly tells everyone to get ready,
so they gather behind her. When Jesse walks in, they
all shout surprise. He looks around, pretending to be shocked

(57:53):
and says, well, if I didn't know better, I'd say
this was a baby shower. Becky grins, it is a
baby shower. Isn't this a fun surprise? Jesse nods, plastering
a fake smile onto his face. Then he springs a
surprise onto her. I wish I would have known this
was a baby shower, because I invited some friends to
what I innocently thought was a big, major blowout. Becky

(58:17):
assures him, Oh, it's okay. The more the merrier, so
Jesse tells the guys to come on in. A group
of macho biker men in sunglasses, leather jackets and bandannas
comes strolling in. Two of the men start bumping fists
and Jesse has to stop them before they bonk heads.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
These guys were enormous, Yeah, so yeah, big big big
men bikes.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
Yep, yeah, just big biker dudes. Uh. Jesse calls them
tiny and brain dead and demands if you guys are
gonna fight. Please, no blood on the carpet. Then he
makes his way over to his wife, who's looking a
little glows. She admits, Oh, this is all my fault.
I deserve to have my baby shower ruined.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
WHOA, that's rough that.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
She's being very hard on herself, very hard.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
I deserve to have my baby shower ruined.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
She's feeling guilty for coming. She didn't lie to him,
but she didn't wasn't exactly fully honest. So but the
guilt trip she's given herself a major ship.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
No, no, you don't deserve that.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
I'm like, well, well, what did you think was gonna happen?
Jesse found out?

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I don't, I mean, what did
you Yeah, he thought this was gonna.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
Go well, So Jesse finally tells her the truth. These
guys are my friends. I put them up to it.
I've known about your little scam for a week now.
Becky's surprised, but gives him gives a knowing glance to
someone while saying, I wonder who told you? Michelle gasps,
I have no idea. She hops out of her chair

(59:51):
and heads for the door while letting out a big
yawn boy? Am I getting sleepy time for my nap?
She turns to leave, but and brain Dead are blocking
the exit. She politely says, excuse me, boys, and they
move out of her way. Look the power of this
little preschooler has, you know, she's just so incredible, like

(01:00:13):
Parting of the Red Sea, you know, Parting of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
The Big Excuse me, yeah, no shame, no fear.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Becky quickly waddles after her. She tells Michelle to freeze,
and Jesse walks in behind her. Becky confronts Michelle, did
you tell Uncle Jesse our little secret? Michelle admits, I'm sorry,
but the man had ice cream. Becky turns to Jesse
and shock, you bribed her with ice cream, Michelle continues,

(01:00:42):
and chocolate fudge and whipped cream and a cherry. I
can't say no, all right? Becky tells him, Oh, that's low,
but Jesse counters, and not telling me about our baby shower,
that's not low, Michelle cuts in. If I'm not in trouble,
may I go back to the party. Becky gives it,
gives a nod of approval, but before Michelle is out

(01:01:04):
the door, she reveals, oh yeah, and he had sprinkles too.
Great delivery on that too. Becky lets out a little
laugh and admits this is all her fault, but Jesse
can admit he was a little sneaky with that ice
cream motif too. He comes up with a plan they
will always be honest with each other. Becky says, okay,

(01:01:25):
and they give each other a kiss to seal the deal.
Then Becky asks, be honest, if I were to just
come right out and ask you to go to the
baby shower, you would have come right. Jesse laughs, No,
it's a good thing you tricked me, and he pulls
her in for another kiss.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Ah, although I didn't see it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Not a ripper to be found.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
Yeah, well I didn't recognize any of these actors like
ya either. Where did they find these people?

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
I guess? Yeah, yeah, he had. Supposedly those were some
of Jesse's friends.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Yeah, so we've got friends that aren't rippers. News to me.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
I don't buy it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
They were paid, They were paid baby shower attendees.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
So next we are at Steph's dance recital. Yeah, we
are here, we are baby. The Tanners are sitting in
the front row and Danny comes extra prepared with his
big video camera.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
My god, this giant, hulking thing, it needed its own seat.
We're a giant, you know thing on my shoulder right
like a rocket launcher.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
He points it at the family and tells them to
say hi, so they all give a big wave. Then
Danny takes a video of the rest of the crowd
before telling the camera I'm going backstage before the big
recital to meet the star herself. He opens the curtain
to reveal Stephanie dressed in her recital outfit, stretching before
her big number.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Is there this fit?

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
This is so Janet Jackson inspired.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
So iconic, so amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I believe this was their actual This was their because
those were girls that I actually danced with, and they
were a competition group, and.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
So basically I just learned their number.

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
Oh you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
They had the Dennis Caspery was my dance teacher, and
he came in and Corey and had choreographed it. But yeah,
it was they They have their own dance troupe. And
so I think I used one of the other girls
costumes that was about my size. It maybe we like
fitted it a little bit, but and those costumes were

(01:03:42):
probably made by my friend Tory.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Her mom, Sandy Tory.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Was in some episodes with you guys as like an extra.
She was my friend that would come every once in
a while. We've been friends forever, and Sandy was an
incredible seamstress. Tory was also a dancer, and she would
sew all of the costumes like studio Sea dance recitals,
which were intense, a lot of sequence.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
That's why.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
I don't know if that was the case, but but
it probably probably yeah, mostly, but yeah, that was our uh,
that was it. That was it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
That was it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
This is so iconic and it's like your little mid
drift to show. I mean, these were like trendy little
outfits with sparkly hat and though.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Oh yeah yeah, the gotlitary title shoulder pads. They gotta
go big, you know, he's gotta stand out on stage
like a cheer competition, like you've gotta look a bit
frightening up close and overly sparkled.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
But on stage, it's gonna read great reads great.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
In the back row, yeah exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
So.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Stephanie Grinn's at her cheesy dad and asks what he's
doing back there. Danny admires as focused as she is
she still knows I'm her father. He puts down the
camera to reveal the good news. He's sitting next to
the director of the Bayview Dance Academy and if he
likes Stephanie's performance, she can get into their summer dance camp.

(01:05:06):
Stephanie asks, So, I'd be dancing my whole summer vacation
every day, nothing but dancing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
That's what dancing looks like.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
If you want to be like everybody I know, basical
glad to drop out, do homeschool and just dance all day.

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
Yeah, it is a commit mint well yeah, and Danny
nods with excitement. He tells her the show's about to start,
and he reminds her multiple times not to be nervous,
because he's nervous enough for both of them. And then
he hurries back to his seat. Who knew Danny would
be such like a stage dad? Really into this? Yeah,

(01:05:41):
for the guy that didn't want anything to do with
this eighteen minutes ago, he is just now. Yeah, full commitment.
So Stephanie's dance teacher appears on stage to welcome the
audience to the recital. She reminds everyone that black, bright
flashes and lights are distracting to the dancers. Danny pays
no mind to her as he sets up his big

(01:06:03):
video camera, which has a blinding light attached to it.
She calls him out by name to get his attention.
Then the instructor introduces the first performance by their advanced
modern dance group doing street dancing to Mowtown, Philly. Oh baby,

(01:06:23):
why did we get the rights to this?

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
So? I don't it wasn't it was a re record,
oh origin, it wasn't as expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
Still probably expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
Still probably had to pay for the right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
Yeah, but I think it wasn't like the original recording.
I think we could do our own. And I think
it was funny because Wanyer Morris, who was one of
the postamens yep.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
Thank you. He was on my season of Dancing with
the Stars. Oh he what?

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
No way?

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Hey? So he and I got to be friendly.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Yeah, and I think I remember I was like, oh man,
we wanted to use the original song.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
He's like, yeah, well back then good life it was
too expensive. I was like, yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Yeah, Oh that's so cool. You talked to him about it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
And he's super sweet and wonderful and also another incredibly
talented human.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
Yeah, he seems like just such a teddy bear, and
I'm so glad you had that moment with him. I
wish you had recreated the dance with him, that would
have been even more right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
But I did recreate the dance with Uh. Well, we'll
get to that point. We'll get to the the the
actual full dance.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Oh yeah, we'll get to that. Okay. So the curtain
opens and Danny nudges the director next to him, saying,
that's my Stephanie in the middle. She dances as well
as that Mickhammer guy, and Jesse clarifies it's mc hammer.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
That's such a Danny thing to say.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Then Motown Philly starts and the dancers begin their routine,
but as the rest of the dancers performed the choreography,
Stephanie breaks out in to some improv ballet. The rest
of yeah, the something is going very awry.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Yeah, the dance is not. This is not this is
not Steph.

Speaker 4 (01:08:10):
This is not Steph. She's yeah, something's happening, something's going
on with here. The rest of the dancers stop and
look at her with confusion, and she looks at each
of them in sighs. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, and
she runs off the stage. Oh oh, see.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
The teacher of the sabotage.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
Yeah, you know, she's just feeling too much pressure. It's
too much pressure for this this ten year old. The
teacher appears back on stage and says, let's take a
short intermission. As the curtains close, Danny rushes backstage and
asks Stephanie what happened. She admits, I got all messed
up and I didn't know what to do, so I
started doing anything. I guess I just don't have what

(01:08:52):
it takes.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
He takes a seat with his daughter and reminds her,
you have that routine down cold. I think you blew
it on purpose, and she questions why would I do that,
and Danny says he was wondering the same thing. Finally,
she confesses to blowing it on purpose. Danny's confused because
he thought this was something she really wanted, and steph

(01:09:16):
tells him it was at first, but then she never
got to see her friends, she missed the baby shower,
and she never got to do anything fun. She finally admits,
I don't want to go to dance camp all summer.
Danny sighs, well, if you wanted to quit. Why didn't
you just tell me? She asks? How could I? I
begged you to let me do this. I didn't want

(01:09:38):
to let you down. And there was a whole dream
sequence which is really just like this pact. But Danny
assures her he would have understood. Steph reminds him you
had me starring on Broadway and you were doing high
jumps in the chorus line. Sorry, now the dog is
tied up. Oh okay, Uh yeah, and you were doing

(01:10:03):
high jumps in the chorus line. Danny gives her an
embarrassed smile. Maybe I did get a little carried away. Huh.
Stephanie asks, so you're not disappointed in me? Danny responds, no,
it's great to have a dream, but it's okay to
change your dream too. You don't have to dance if
you don't want to. Steph tells him I still want

(01:10:25):
to dance, just not all the time. Danny suggests they
go back to the way things were before, when dancing
was just part of her life instead of her whole life.
Steph lets out a big sigh of relief. Thanks, Dad,
I love you. Danny gives her a big hug and
says he loves her.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
Too. This is a cute moment.

Speaker 4 (01:10:45):
Yeah. This, Yeah, and Danny's just I mean, for as
ridiculous as he is in this episode, he's so understanding. Yeah,
he didn't mean to pressure her, it was he just
wanted to wear it and do a high jump the tuxedo.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
So then Steph jumps up and says she'll be right back.
She walks over to the other dancers and apologizes, I'm
really sorry I messed you up. They all shrug and
tell her it's okay. So Steph asks can we have
another chance? The girls say yes, and the dance teacher agrees.
She asks the girls if they're ready, and they all
give her nods of reassurance. The dance teacher addresses the

(01:11:25):
audience once more, saying they'd like to try that number
one more time. The lights go down and the curtains
open to reveal the Motown Philly girls once more.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
Sparkly hats little shoulder before me.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
Yeah, it's time, Stephan. The girls nail this iconic dance
perfectly without missing a beat. The audience is clapping along
as the girls continue with their performance and finally end
the dance in perfect unison. The crowd goes wild, and
Stephanie smiles at her supportive family.

Speaker 3 (01:12:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
I love.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
It was so much fun. I love.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
I loved episodes where I got to dance, and I
got to dance a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
In this episode.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
There was a lot of dancing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
It was interesting because I watched this episode and I
was like, oh, this was a lot in a week.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
This is for a kid, you know what I mean,
Like for a ten year old.

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
You got to marry this whole.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
It was just like it was a lot and dancing
and learning the dances and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Oh yeah, yeah, but it was so much fun. I
just loved it. I loved this episode. It's one of
the iconic ones. I recreated the Motown Philly Dance last
year with Mitchell Johnson, who is an incredible dancer.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
It's still up on my Instagram and it is good.
Oh good. But you can go see us do the
Motown Philly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
Dance in the outfits, the outfits, but he he basically
created replicated the outfits that we were wearing, complete with
sparkly hats and bows everything.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
It is commitment.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
It's amazing and he and I had so much fun
doing it. And then and then after we posted that,
it kind.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
Of went everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Oh yeah, And Sean Stockman, who was one of the
original members of Boys to Men was doing a show
in la that night or not that night, but that
week and invited me and Mitchell and some guests to
go along. So we got to go to the Kuku
Bara Club at I think it's now Ovation or Ovate

(01:13:29):
or whatever, but it was Hollywood Highland and we saw
him and it was an amazing performance because it wasn't
just Boys to Men. It wasn't like there were a
couple of Boys to Men songs he threw in and
like a little medley, but it was all his musical
him performing all his musical influences.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Oh so it was.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
It was everything from like Prince Jimmy Hendricks.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
To like gospel to ye.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
It was just it was an incredible performance and he
was so talented, and it was a small little club.
We had so much fun. We were dancing in the
back and it was great. It was really really great.
So big shout out to to Boys to Men to
one H. Morrison, Sean Stockman and you guys, you're awesome
and thanks for making my motown Philly dreams come true.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Oh I love this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
Like they boys to men, they are just fantastic, just
singers and people to humans, they're just such a good
Oh for sure humans. And I am so glad you
got that experience back in nineteen ninety one and then
again this year with the with this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
I believe there's song end of the road, the end, remember, yeah, yeah,
So I remember me and my friends finishing sixth grade
and having like a pool party and we're all heading
to middle school, but we're all heading to like different
middle schools, and I'm pretty sure we sat and like
cried in my room and played that song over and
over again until my mom.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Came in and was like, would you guys go swimming
and stop this?

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Like it was one of those moments where you had
to interrupt, like middle school girl drama, self.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Inflicted yes you know, and she was like, just go
swim stop. You've listened. This is like the seventh time
you've listened to this song.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
Yes, that's hysterio.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
It was so dramatic, so.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Emotional, so emotional. Oh man, that's great, what a what
a wonderful, wonderful way to end this show. But then
we have this weird outro, like I feel like the
show ended, and then there's this bizarre outro with Michelle
describing what happens next week's episode.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Right, I was like a rearrested development all of that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
I'm like, I mean, it's a very special episode.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
I wonder if that was the like we had we
moved to tg IF at this point, and this was
when they had us doing little like intros and outros
and kind of interstitial little moments between shows.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Where it'd be like, next up, you're about to watch
family matters, like us sitting on the couch or whatever. Yeah,
I seem to remember that was a thing for tg IF,
So I wonder if this was part of it that
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I don't I don't know it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:55):
Was to be because I'm watching it on Hulu.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Well, I think so when you think about it, how
else would you let people know next week is the
baby episode?

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
Yeahs drying, but like, yeah, I'm not anybody get this.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
You got to let people know next week it's the
baby stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:16:13):
So yeah, to tune in don't get that episode.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Yeah, there was no internet to you know, social media
to blast it out to.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
You had to like attach it to what they were
already watching.

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
I guess that's right. Yeah, I don't know, so that
makes sense. They do like using Michelle to you know,
what happened last week or in this case, what happens
next week? So yeah, but it looks like a fabulous episode.
I can't believe that babies are already going to be
born next right, It's just so so crazy. How did
we get here so fast? I feel like this pregnancy

(01:16:42):
was four weeks and that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Well, it probably technically was in sitcom sitcom land. I mean,
we're only we are We're in episode eight, and wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):
Oh yeah, it's the first yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
The first one she finds out she's gonna have twins.

Speaker 4 (01:16:55):
Right right, so yeah, it's an eight week pregnancy. Okay, yeah, yeah,
that sounds about right in sitcom land for sure. So
but what an amazing episode. This was just this is
my favorite episode so far of season five, easily hands down.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
I know we can't start to go, but this was
so great this one. It was just a great energy
to this episode. It was really fun. And I'm not
saying that because it was my episode. I trust me,
I'll be critical of myself. I'm the first one.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Yeah, no, I agree this was.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
This was a great episode, and like, I just watched
it back and I was like, damn, you said a.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Lot for a kid, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
I was just saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
I was like, that's a that was that would be
a hectic week for an adult.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
Oh yeah, to learn all that. So no, totally, it
was that was a lot. But it's so relatable too,
as like a child actor who hated going on auditions.
You know, my parents always said you can always quit
whenever you want. You just can't quit on the one
oh one freeway during.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
Rush hour right right or mid episode right right.

Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
So I'm like I related to Stephanie in this and
that she's like you, it gets so overwhelming and it's
so much You're like, I just want to be a kid.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
I just want to be there. I don't want to
do I don't want to do this. I just want
to yeah, relax.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
So yeah, I get that, and it was but it
was such a great episode. Wonderful scene between Danny and
steph Yeah, really cute, really sweet, and I loved it.
And then the baby shower happened and there was no
Rippers to be invited. I'd be a little offendedive fi
for them.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
Mary Ripper, Yeah, Gary, Gary Gibler never cout.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
And also the you know all the seventeen band members.
We had the shirtless where's the bongo baby man with
bongos and no shirt on in a vest.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
You know that says baby shower.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Uh did you have any everywhere he looks before?

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
Tell me, tell me so if you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
In the first scene, on the bulletin board in DJ's
room is a picture of Steph and Michelle. Oh yeah,
and it's a picture from It's a behind the scenes
picture just of me and I don't know if it
was Mary, Kay or Ashley, but sitting on my lap.
Somebody just snapped a cute picture of us when we

(01:19:08):
were in Hawaii, like shooting, and so they always asked
for like personal photos of the kids and stuff, and
so that got tacked onto DJ's wall, an actual, real
behind the scenes picture of Stefan Michelle.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
It just it kind of just makes it all real,
you know, like a real family with real photos on
these fake walls.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
I love that. I did notice that on my first watch,
and I was like, that's so sweet that DJ has
a picture of her sisters in her room. It's just
really very feel good.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
Yeah, it's cute.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Did you have any I have one? It appears now
that there are two Neil Patrick Harris posters in Stephanie's room.
There's now one next to the closet in addition to
the one on the right side of your bed. It's
the same poster of him in like the little you know,
the tie with the orange. I'm just like, she really
has a thing for miss Patrick Harris. Yeah, I don't

(01:20:02):
know if set ran out a poster.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
Steph, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
