their residence. Taw me everything. I need details from the

(00:52):
whole weekend. Let's start at the beginning. And it was amazing.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm still recovering and not from drinking or anything or debauchery, Like,
I'm just old, and I have trouble to stay here, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I just disrupted my sleep pattern and I had to
use a different pillow.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, yeah, so like I came home with like a
scratchy throat and my head's kind of throwing. So sorry
about the smoker's voice. And I stayed on me too
because I did.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I was doing press and then a bunch of live
shows and so I also, yeah, we've I said, we
sound like we've smoked two packs already today.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Hey, nothing like starting off the morning right with a
two packer, right, But no, it was so fun, like
it was just the ultimate girl's weekend. I love you know,
I have friends from all around the world, all around
the world, all around the country, right like my friend

sure I have friends there too, But the ones that
I go to New Kids events with, I'm Katie from Connecticut,

(01:49):
A two from Phoenix, Angela from Atlanta, and then Sanal
from New York.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
We all meet like, Oh, I thought you were going
to say Sanal from Syracuse. I was really hoping because
everyone's to have Angela from Atlanta, like and.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Like you know what I mean, everyone had like there.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I was like, oh, this is like a thing I
thought you were going to say, like you know, Sarah
from xandiego.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, we do joke because there's two Andreas in the group.
I call her we call her A two and I'm
a B just to like differentiate. But yeah, we've made
jokes before about how everyone else will have to change
their name to Andrea because there's two Andrea's.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well keep it going, but I think I think one
of them needs to change.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Where they say they're from. That would be a better Yeah, okay,
well let them I'll work on it. Katie from Connecticut
was so son needs.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Kati from Connecticut, Angela from Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I was like, okay, and then you like, from I'll
tell her to move to Syracuse and that will solve that.
San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
You know, there's there's options, options, just not she's.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
More East Coast southern, you know. Ye, well she works
in New York City, so that has to be we
have Syracuse probably would be the easiest.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Then yeah, yeah, okay, good let her know that that
that that she needs to be chosen.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Her next destination. Okay, yes, So anyways, it's great because
we don't see each other like on the regular, so
we have our annual like New Kids concert or crews
or whatever it is. These are my homeies, my besties
that I love that we get together, so it's so fun. Luckily,
usually all these things are on the East Coast. But finally,
finally Vegas we get something I can drive to. So

(03:28):
I did. I did the whole road trip on the
way and I charged at the same station that we charged,
so yeah, I know it was so I drove out there.
It was It's a beautiful drive, as you know, like
it was just just a great ring. But yeah, I
was at the park MGM, so we all met up.
We had adjoining rooms. It's so fun. It's just I mean,

(03:51):
Vegas is just a it's unlike any other place in
the world.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
You know this, it's insane, right, You have to really
you have to be willing to lean in against you
know what I mean, Like you have to be there
and be like.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay, it's a it's a lot. Here we go. It's
a lot. It's people. It's it's people. It's so overstimulating.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
My gosh, yes, it's it's and you just walk and
if you're like, I'm going here we go, then you're
fine with it. But if you're like, I don't know
if I'm up for this, like it just.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Feels like, you know, you just you have to like
brace yourself, like especially, be like, okay, right here I go.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm leaving the hotel room. I'm going out here I go.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Right yeah, And of course it takes like twenty minutes
to walk anywhere in the hotel, Like you know, you're
walking and walking and getting Yeah, you're in Disneyland everywhere
you're like here we Yeah, it all looks the same,
it all looks the same but different.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Right, ironically, I'm not I haven't even done to the
New Kids part yet. Okay, so you know, I'm sorry,
we're just breaking down Vegas.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah. The craziest thing was that my brother Darren, who's
been on the podcast. He loves Vegas and goes all
the time. He's he loves to gamble. So he's just like,
you're in I guess I'm in Vegas, and I'm just like,
you are not here. At the same time, he's like, yeah,
what are you doing. I mean he's secretly a New
Kids fan. No, no, no, absolutely not. He doesn't even

(05:10):
know their names. He tried to recite their names, and
he thought he and I would get along.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, he's like, I know Donnie and then there's a
Wallberg in there, and that's a Joey you know. Yeah.
So yeah, so we we met up just briefly, like
he came to gamble at my hotel. I introduced him
to my friends and then he like, so we went
to blockhead Headquarters, which is like this experience blockheadquarters, blockhead Headquarters.

(05:37):
I know, no, but really, if you were smart, it
would have been block headquarters. Like that's just well they
did say blockhead HQ. Is that better? No, it's better.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I think I just feel like you could headquarters with
the word yeah, blockheadquarters.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well i'll pass that note. I'll pass that note A.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Lot to manage that along with her moving to Syracuse.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
So we went to block Headquarters. I'll just adopt that name, okay,
which is where they have like all their merch There's
the larger than life sized doll boxes that it's a
photo opportunity. You get like stand in the photo box
with your friends. They had like a confetti room, which
was a little anti climactic, but you go in there

(06:18):
for like thirty seconds and then like blow confetti everywhere
and you can take a photo or a video or whatever.
So that was a little out of control and crowded
and crazy. But my brother like balcked his way in.
I'm like, I had to get tickets for this, Like
I had. You have to like refresh and get tickets.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Wait, how do you have to get tickets and your
brother got in for nothing?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
What's the other way around?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
At this point, new kids should be like you get
a cut, you know what I mean? Like you you
would have been such a dedicated fan. We actually are
giving you a percentage of tickets in.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
The tickets were free, but you you did have to
reserve them in advance because it was a capacity okay,
clearly lot, like seventy five people in at a time
because it would be like way too crowded. Fire secrets
were free, but you did have to reserve them. So
my friends and I reserved unless you're Darren.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Barber, yeah, which case, well, he tried to talk his
way in and then someone walked out and said, here,
take my wristband, and so Darren walked in and tried
to fire. And I'm like, you were such a fish
out of water right now at blockhead Quarters.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, but that's what you do.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
He's go ahead if you're not really that committed and
you you'll find a way it'll happen.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Oh and he did. He did. So anyways, Block Headquarters
it was fine. It was too crowded and I never
need to go again. But then the concert, you know concert,
the opening night was Friday night. There was so much
uh excitement in the air, like people were just breasing,
Like blockheads were dressed up, there were sequins, there was

(07:46):
tool there was just like short dresses, no dresses, there
was just a whole lot of like everything, well not exactly,
but you know, you know we're showing some skin. You know,
this is great for it.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, Rocket, I've worked its Vegas. Nothing matters you walk around,
Lord knows, I've walked around like.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
An idiot in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
So I'm sure, yeah, that's dress, no dress, you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
So if you recall the last time we talked, and
I had said my expectations were very low because they
only started rehearsals like two weeks in advance, right right.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, this is gonna be It's been like ten days
of them, six days of them are in four days
of them rehearsal.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
So I'm like, this might just be the same old thing,
the same old set list, and that's fine. I love
them all, support them anyways. But my expectations were kind
of low, and I was like, that's okay. Oh no,
the entire Blockhead community was blown away. Like the guys
stepped it up. They put some money into this show.
The production value was next level for new kids. Okay,

(08:50):
so yeah they had like a subway car. That's how
they that's oh I should okay. If you're going to
the concert and you don't want to be spoiled. Don't listen.
Don't listen from here.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
On out because there's spoiler alert. There's yeah, subway cars.
There was a subway everything else.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's how they like arrive on the stage because that
was part of their Please Don't Go Girl video, which
was their number one.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
It was the first video significance of them in the subway.
Did they start singing in the subway?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
No, they were boys from Boston, so like they rode
the tea everywhere and it's just a big part of
the culture and that was a big part of the video.
So yeah, so they like, legit step out of the
subway car. It's an actual what I heard is it's
an actual subway car from Boston that they somehow got
to Vegas. Like I don't even know how you okay,
So it's very authentic. Yeah. And then they had like

(09:33):
they had a Corvette, like a white not a corvette.
Is it a corvette? It's a convertible, a convert your car. Yeah,
I don't know my cars, but they they like another
part they drive in on white was a.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
White Corvette some significance. What video was invertible that was.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I'll Be Loving You Forever or was it hanging tough.
I think it was I'll be Loving You forever. Okay,
I don't know. One of the videos. Yeah, so they
like go.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Also, one of the videos was like a white white convertible, convertible,
white convertible, like an old school Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Like an old school probably like a Cadillac. Yeah, maybe Cadillac.
That's what. That's like, a big one, like big long trunk. Yes, yes,
that's it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that was
part of the number. But okay, the highlight of the show, well,
there were a lot of highlights. They did some deep cuts,
they did some numbers that they haven't performed in like

(10:24):
fifteen years. Oh, they did some Yeah, we were very exciting.
Was for the fans for sure, This was this is
for the fans who were like, we have been here
a long time and they were delivering. But the probably
the highlight of the whole performance was they had these
flying phone booths. I'm not kidding. They had they lowered
these five It was like a phone booth or at

(10:47):
first I thought it might have been like the doll box,
but it was.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Like almost like a British looking sort of phone.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
But like, yeah, it's just like a like like an
old school phone booth, like an old school phone both.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah. Right, it was like that we recognized and that
people young generations are like, well, what is that glass
box which you stand in exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Every exactly, So it's like a it's kind of like
a nod to the nineties. I thought it might have
been like an old like like a doll box, but whatever,
whatever you want to call it. Yeah, each each of
the five guys they strapped themselves in and it took
them way up to the top of the theater and
out over the audience. They were like face to face
with the balcony, with the audience in the balcony, and
they asked their minds because they're in the balcony. They're

(11:26):
just like, you know, we got the cheap seats, were
never going to see them up close, and then they
were there like right up close. They did a whole
number from like the sky. It was great. John was very.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Narouse did that at her at the last concert that
she did, where she like got on this box thing
and then it like raised and so it was at
like sort of level to see.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, it's so I mean, the things they can do now,
you know, it's it's great. Well, they know, we don't.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
We're not used to this as blockheads because they usually
tour like they get they put they load everything on
a tour bus and they go around the pantry. Touring
is I mean you can do I've seen tours the
Beyonce tour. I mean there that is going city to
city and it's.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Und does she have five flying phone booths that she
takes with her around the country.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
You would not believe the things that appear in a
Beyonce concert. I've never been to a Beyonce concert. I
only go to let me tell you, what do you
want to talk production value? Oh, I can imagine. I
can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Hers is just next level. Yeah, but for new kids,
this was great. They can do a lot more things.
Flying phone booths. I'm totally for flying phone but it
was amazing. It was I got a little nervous, I
have to admit I was a little nervous for them
because then well, yeah, because you know you got like
Donnie who's like moving it around. He's like there's always
one kid that has to like shake the you know,

(12:47):
shake the phone, swing on. It's like that. So I
was like, don't do that, you know. Anyways, it was outstanding.
It was definitely highlight but the whole show, Like I screamed,
the higher time I stood, the entire time I danced,
the entire time. It was just the best, Like, oh
my gosh, I'm so proud of them because it's such

(13:09):
it's honestly one of their best shows they've ever done,
if not the best show they've ever done.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
That's that's exactly what it should be, you know what
I mean. And it sounds like they really considered the
fact that a lot of the people coming to this
are like die hard fans that have loved them for
a long time. So like give them stuff that they know,
you know what I mean, Like give them stuff that's
not just sort of the surface level, like not just
best hits, right, Yeah, exactly, play it for the fans

(13:35):
that like get really excited to hear some of those
deep cuts.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh yeah, it was so good. It was so good.
I'm going back in November because they're doing I don't
know how many shows, they're doing anything three weekends in
June and then they take a long break and then
they come back in November. So I will be back
in November of course, and yeah, it was just amazing.
Go see it. Or if you're in Vegas, go see it.
If you're not in Vegas, go to Vegas and see it.
It's it's phenomenal. It was just always a good time,

(14:01):
even the the you know, they always have like the
older people who were comps to get in, like the
people who were in the casino and you're like.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh, here, right, we're gonna give your free tickets.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
To something because you've lost all your money gambling or whatever. Right, Yeah,
older people were totally into it. So I'm just like,
this is multi generational. It's great. I mean, let's be fair.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
At this point, those people are our parents' age. So
they had to listen to this crap. Yeah crap, but
I don't mean it like right, but they listened. This
was the stuff that they listened to in the car
with us on the.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Radio, you know what I mean. It's like, yes, this
is like the tailor Swift for a side girls, you know,
so we'd.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Like seventy five will be like, oh my gosh, I
remember this Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (14:43):

just been floating, even though I have like a head cold.

Speaker 2 (14:49):

a few other things nice.

Speaker 1 (15:52):

It's called Dateless to Dangerous my Son's Secret Life. I'm
going to watch the drama, but no, it's about you know,
young boy, teenage boy that gets radicalized online in these
sort of manisphere misogynistic, racist, violent areas of the internet
that are really attracting a lot of young men through

(16:24):
community and feeling like they belong.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
And all this kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
So I felt like it was a really important topic.
I mean, and also, of course Adolescence had come out
has come out recently, yea, so people are really talking
about this topic and sort of you know, what's happening
to young people in general, but young men in general

(16:47):
are turning towards violence and hatred and rage and and
it's very scary, so important and so anyway, I was
really really happy with it. I haven't watched the whole

Back to How Rude tan Ritos. I'm Andrea Barber and
I'm Jody Sweet, and today we're discussing season five, episode two,
Matchmaker Michelle. It originally aired September twenty fourth, nineteen ninety one,
and it goes a little something like this, Michelle and Teddy.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Schem scheme scheme schem scheme scheme is that schmear it's
a shitchle right, Like, no, it's not a Yiddish word.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
That is scheme schem scheme.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Si. I like saying scheme, so schemy.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
There you go. We should do this whole recap pronouncing
the things wrong. That would be Oh, people would really
love that.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah. Yeah, twenty three minutes in that's what we should
start doing.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Okay, so Michelle and Teddy scheme to couple Danny with
their kindergarten teacher, which is really Michelle who's scheming or scheming,
and Teddy's just kind of like going along. I don't know,
but Michelle, Michelle has an agenda, she has Teddy's kind
of like kind of be I mean, we'll get that,
we'll get there. Yeah, he's kind of started this whole thing,

(23:36):
so gonna start That's kind of Teddy's fault. Blame Teddy.
It was directed by Joelswick, it was written by Ellen Guiless,
and we got great guest stars returning. Gary returns as
Gary Griffin, the Redheaded Ripper. Yeah it was great. I
think he had a line. I think he's the one
that yelled at Jesse and the Smash Club or yeah, yeah,

(23:56):
a line, so he gets credit. June Lockhart returns as
Miss will Trout, and Taj Marie returns as Teddy. And
oh boys, he the most adorable little living doll. He
is just so so cuute. We start with the teezer
in the girls room. Michelle runs into the room and
makes a bee line for dj who is fast asleep.

(24:18):
Even though all the lights are still on, very bright house.
She shakes her sister and shouts, DJ, DJ, wake up.
DJ groans, oh, it's Saturday morning. I'm sleeping. Michelle questions,
then why are you talking? And DJ explains I'm talking
in my sleep. Good night, and throws her pillow over
her head. Michelle completely disregards DJ's hope for peace and quiet.

(24:43):
She shouts, you're missing the road Runner cartoon, and then
she runs around the room mimicking the Roadrunner Meet Me,
Meet me. DJ interrupts, Hey, looney tune, cut the meeping.
When you reach a certain age, you're just too mature
to waste your Saturday morning watching cartoons. Right on cue.
Joey excitedly runs into the room to tell Michelle that

(25:04):
she's missing Roadrunner. He gives her a brief rundown on
what she's missed. Apparently, Wiley Coyote is suspended midair but
hasn't started to fall just yet. Michelle questions, how come
he doesn't fall until he looks down, and Joey tells
her that's how cartoon gravity works. That's kind of true,
you know, like they all like the suspend air look down.

(25:29):
Can you imagine if that was really how it was like,
if you just ran hard enough off of the thing,
you'd be like, I just don't look down, just look downtown.
It's kind of like that Squid Game episode, you know,
like don't let yeah back down? Yeah yeah, give you
a dark So Joey grabs her hand and pulls her
out of the room so they can continue watching. On
their way out, they both shout meet me, mape me,

(25:50):
and DJ sighs, Oh well, I'm up, and she trudges
towards the door and half heartedly copies them, Mate mebe,
mate mebe. Next to Michelle's room, Joey walks in with
Teddy and happily tells Michelle that someone came over to play.
Michelle casually says hi Teddy, and Teddy smiles Hi, Michelle.
Joey wonders, so what are you too? Crazy kids up

(26:12):
to a little tea party, and Teddy mischievously grins, We're
gonna play Terminator two. Joey imitates Arnold Schwarzenegger and responds, Oh,
no problem o asta la vista baby, consider that a divorce.
I'm the party pooper.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I didn't get the last two, but maybe it's because
I haven't ever seen any of the terminators.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Oh yeah, these are like his classic lines that he
says that in that same voice. Okay. Michelle and Teddy
crack up at Joey's silliness, and then Joey tries to
exit the room, but his muscly stance prevents him from
doing so. The kids continue to laugh and Joey eyes
them I'll be back, and then he side steps out
of the room. Dave really commits to these bits, like

(26:55):
he just goes for it. I mean, Dave loves a
good voice, you know, yes, so good at it. So
Michelle suggests that she and Teddy play house. Teddy agrees
and offers to play the daddy, and Michelle exclaims, I'll
play Uncle Jesse. Teddy's face scrunches with confusion. Uncle Jesse,
you should be the mommy, and Michelle admits I don't

(27:17):
know how to be a mommy. I know. Heartbreak. We
basically in the first scene still and it's like starting he's.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Like my mom's dad, I mean, but at least I
mean always we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
It, and we're talking about it. Really, this is the.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
First time we've ever really seen Michelle deal with it,
because she's been so little up util that.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's true, that's this is a very important episode in
that respect. Yeah, and Teddy asks why not, and Michelle
informs him, I don't have a mommy, So Teddy advises her,
you should get one. Mommies use fabric softener on your pajamas.
Michelle smiles, My daddy does that.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
See egalitarian from in the early es.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
My dad does the laundry. Yeah, it's like you don't
need a mom for that. Yeah, Danny Tanner, Teddy ads,
mommies always have good candy in their purse, and Michelle admits,
my daddy has wet naps in his wallet. Teddy tells
her that mommies smell nice and wear pretty dresses, and
Michelle's I mean, if they want to, sometimes they might

(28:22):
wear pants. This is the nineties. I know they're very gender,
but it was yeah, yeah, no, I get it. I
get it. And Michelle size you got me there. Teddy
doesn't sugarcoat it. It's too bad you don't have a mommy.
You're missing something good. Harsh. Oh, this is just brutalil brutal. Yeah,
Michelle pouts and lays her head in her hands. You're right,

(28:43):
I need a mommy. Yeah, straight out of the gate.
This is just like, this is heart wrenching. Yeah. So
I was reminded of the Honeybee sleepover episode where those
girls just kept let's do let's wear high heels and
two right right right, rubbing it in. And I was
so irritated at those Honeybees. But I'm not irritated, not

(29:06):
as irritated with Teddy for some reason, because I don't
know he's.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yelling because well he's younger, and also it's one on one. Yeah,
that's so it doesn't feel as obviously.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Slighting like you're the only one, like when you're.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
The only one left out and it's a mom and
a daughter thing.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Like it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
They it was almost like a point to be exclusionary
from everybody else.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And this just is like a little kid asking a question. Yeah,
and Teddy he doesn't know any better. He does, he's
not trying to make her feel bad.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, So like I kind of like, you know, you're
like damn, but this is what kids do, right, And
they're like.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Why is why do you have a weird nose? And
You're like, oh cool.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah's on their minds, Like yeah about that all my life.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's kind of a prerequisite for five year olds to
just blab out whatever's on their mind.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
They say the uncomfortable thing before you learn that sometimes
you shouldn't say things.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, so Teddy gets a pass for this. It was
made me sad, but I'm not mad at him because
he's just being a five year old. Next, in the
girls room, Danny is vacuuming while Steph is doing homework
on her bed and wearing her cute glasses. Yeah, I'm glad,
like I look like Arnold. Is that the name of it.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
No, not Arnold Waldo. No, oh, yeah, that's w Waldo.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
There's also weird.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
There's another little cartoon. I think that it has like
some but the turtle. There's a turtle that wears glasses
and but it's the little round ones.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah Waldo. Frank Is it Franklin? No, that's what I'm
thinking of. Franklin. We have My turtle's name is Franklin.
So yeah, that's why. That's the only reason why I know.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah between yeah, somewhere between Franklin and Waldo.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, I love it. So Steph erases something on her
paper and Danny takes the liberty of vacuuming up the
eraser shavings. This hate eraser shavings. I know they an
it's very annoying. I agree. This sparks a brilliant idea
in her mind, and she tells her dad, just to
save you some more cleaning, what's the capital of Ecuador?

(31:18):
Danny insists it'd be better for her to look it
up instead of him just giving her the answer. Steph
sees right through him. You don't know, do you, and
Danny admits, not a clue. It's Keto. By the way. See,
I was going to say, what is the guy? I
looked it up. I would like to know. I look
at I didn't know, but I looked it up. It's Keto. Yeah, okay,
good to know. Now we all know it's an educational

(31:39):
podcast here geography. So then DJ walks in and tells
her dad, I have to write a paper about what
it's like being another person. So guess what I'm doing.
I'm going to live in someone else's house for two days,
and someone else is going to live here. Danny responds
that sounds like a neat idea. Who's going to live here?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
This is? It feels like something you'd need a permission
slip for first you know what I.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Mean, Like the parents don't know we're switching kids.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
What in today's ag you'd have to sign one million
release forms and like yeah, now all of all of them.
This is where the idea for the show wife swap came.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Oh I bet from this, from this very right, yeah yeah,
so on cue Jimmy Gibbler comes barging into the room,
knocking her suitcases against the wall without a care in
the world. It's such a good interest.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
You are buff because you've got suitcases full as of
you're slanging them.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah right, Like I love it was great. Like I
just I'm gonna just brag about myself for just like
I I'm just so proud of how I embodied like
the physicality of mcause that was direction, Like that was me.
I'm just like, I'm going to bang these things again.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I'm just yeah, because you're like, that's Kimmy is just
let me come in as loudly and obnoxiously as possible
and oblivious do my, she's just.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
A bullet and china shop.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
But she doesn't care, so just doesn't Yeah, no idea.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I freaking love that. So anyways, she greets Danny ola
mister T, and Stephanie runs up to her dad in horror.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Do something she's got luggage.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Danny shakes his head, God save us all. DJ laps
them off. It's for school. Every good grade helps me
get into college. Danny then goes back on everything he's
ever said to his girls about schooling. You know, a
good education is highly overrated. DJ tells her family members
to relax, and she assures them that she'll they'll have

(33:42):
a great time because Kimmy isn't actually Kimmy. She's gonna
be DJ, and DJ won't be herself because she's gonna
be Kimmy. Then she stops her rambling and asks, am
I going too fast? Mister T? Danny demands, I want
my little girl back. DJ shrugs, don't look at me,
She's right here, and she points to Kimmy, who gives

(34:02):
Danny a huge grin in response. Danny tells Kimmy that
they can give this a try as long as she
behaves like DJ, but Kimmy tells him there are a
few slight differences. She doesn't do housework, homework, or anything
with work in it. DJ smiles, well, enjoy the new
me audios tan Rito's and she happily walks away. Stephan

(34:27):
Danny are now left alone with Kimmy, who asks, so
what do we do now? And then she realizes you
people like to hug, don't you, and she proceeds to
give them an unwonted big group hug. And you're O, Kimmy,
your facial expression kills me in this. In this bit,
you're just like your face is right to the camera. Yeah, yeah,

(34:48):
so funny. This is a great little storyline, Like I
loved this. Oh, this was very funny, so funny. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Then in the your headband was me say, it looked
really cute covered my entire the entire top of my remember,
I mean they're kind of coming but yeah, like the
big fifth band over one use him as a tube
top or a headband. Yes, that's exactly just glue, some
fake jewels or something on that exactly what it is
so great.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
So next in the kitchen, Jesse walks in. He's looking
down in the dumps. He tells Becky and Joey that
Jesse and the Rippers got turned down by another record company.
Didn't they just have a tour, right, didn't they? What
just happened. That was just the whole problem, Like he

(35:39):
was going to be away from the babies and the
pregnancy or whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
So did he go like screwed, I'm not gonna do that,
but I'm gonna go try and get another record.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I'm confused, Okay, I don't know. Suddenly he's now having
a midlife crisis with this with his band. So apparently
the Rippers image is too soft. That's all those mullets.
The mullets man Jesse argues that he's tougher than anybody,
and immediately after saying this, he turns on his baby
voice and says hello to Becky's baby bump. He touches

(36:11):
her belly and calls the baby's his twinsy Winsies, which
snaps him back to reality.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
He asks, and I have to say, it's seeing how
women rock pregnancy now.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Like you look at Laurie's outfits, even.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
What I wore when I was pregnant, and I was like, wow.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
It was just like you were just a tent.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
You look it looked like like it was still all
trapped in like nineteen sixty five.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
It looked very datd Ban.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, she's just wearing a giant circus. She's like a giant.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, like with the bumps
and stuff, like you kind of had to give it.
They didn't look exactly super real, so you had to
give it a little you know, space. But yeah, but
that was what was maternity, where you just cover.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It up like it's not there. But yeah, you don't
want to hear about those details, see them, just cover
that up. No, I think No, Kimmy, when I was
pregnant in a fuller house, they had way more fashionable stuff.
Oh yeah, I improved, improved dramatically in the last thirty years. So,
Joey mocks Jesse in a baby voice. Yes he Wessy Jesse.

(37:15):
Jesse admits he's a woos He asks Becky what he
should do. He has a showcase tomorrow night for another
record company. Becky reminds him that he and Joey used
to be in advertising, right, get that up.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Didn't they have a whole like recording studio and like
like didn't they? Yes, what happened to the jingle writing
and the advertising bits and the company, Well they had
to turn it into an apartment, the jade into the basement, right,
So why why is Jesse, I don't know. Yeah, they
just abandoned the J and J Creative Services or whatever

(37:49):
it was called. Everything before this episode didn't happen. It
was all a dreaming. It's did we shoot these out
of order? I know.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
So Becky suggests they get the old team back together
and come up with a bad image. Jesse wonders what
Joey could possibly know about being bad. He watches cartoons
all day. Joey scoffs, are you trying to tell me
the Tasmanian Devil isn't bad? Jesse shrugs. What does he do?
Joey boasts, He spins around and slobbers, and then he
does a very perfect and very slobbery impression of the

(38:23):
Tasmanian Devil, which has John breaking.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I mean, can you imagine just doing that, have Dave
do that in your face?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
You'd be like, oh, be like, oh gosh, yeah it
was that was you can tell me.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I can only imagine the in between my you know
what I mean, Like what he was saying that that
just makes it even more be And you.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Know, Dave went for it and just tried to get
as much spittle on Scott.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
He was just like I'm gonna just yeah, this is
for all the time, as you slap me on the head.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Sweet revenge. So after composing himself, Jesse declares, you're an idiot,
but I'm desperate, and Joey happily continues his pression as
Jesse drags him upstairs while Becky's eating her very large lunch.
Completely it never gets a dressed, by the way, just.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
The whole last turkey right there, a whole turkey dinner,
and never once is it mentioned.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
I mean, I guess.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
She's got the yams with the marshmows, she's got the turkey.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Then never once does Joey or Jesse go like a
whole turkey you know what? Never mind like nothing. You
know that was a setup for a joke. Did the
joke get cut? I don't know. But eating for two
that had to be the setup for a joke. But yes,
never mentioned. She's just eating out of a giant turkey's cavity.
It's just stiric, right. I wonder if they brind it.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I hope so, man, if they put it in an
orange home deepa bucket like we.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Did, I don't know that. I think that's special between
you and me.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I don't think they went to that kind of effort, right, So,
while Becky's eating her a very large lunch, Michelle walks in.
She sweetly asks Aunt Becky can we talk? And Becky
says yes, so Michelle plops down in the seat next
to her. Becky asks what she'd like to talk about,
and Michelle asks, how do I get a mommy. Becky
is obviously caught off guard, but she says, well, first,

(40:13):
your daddy needs to fall in love with a nice lady.
Michelle wonders, how do you fall in love? Becky responds,
I fell in love with your uncle Jesse over a
candlelight dinner with flowers and soft music. It was very romantic.
Michelle Grinson asks, was there kissing?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
This was such a toddler question, but like a five
year old question, like.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Right right, Becky Grin's back, Yes, there was. It was
just a little good night kiss that lasted three hours.
Then Michelle asks, how come nobody kisses my daddy. Becky
admits that's a good question and she doesn't have an answer.
Her dad is a great guy. But then Becky he

(41:00):
starts to list Danny's flaws. He spends all his time cleaning,
and he talks too much, especially about himself. So Becky
comes to a conclusion, all your daddy needs to do
is find a nice lady who's a good listener and
needs a housekeeper. Michelle stares at her. Michelle stares at
her blankly. So Becky tries to assure her she's somewhere

(41:21):
out there and when he finds her, he'll fall in
love and then you'll have a new mommy.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Do you understand? Michelle nods, yes, I do. My daddy
needs help. I also feel like I don't know it
was well, and I guess we address that when she
talks to Danny about it later.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
But that like, it's not that she's getting.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Like a new mommy, but you know what I mean,
like that she'll always have a feeling like Becky would
have been the one to be like, no, you at
a mommy, but you would get somebody.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Else that loves you. But I guess we get to
that at the end. So yeah, that's true, we get
to that at the end. But yeah, at first, I
was like, we're not explaining this well people, But yeah,
we're getting pam shmam, you know what I mean? They
barely mentioned it.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
This is the one mention of PAM this season. Yeah,
well you get one a season.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Right, that's the quota. So in the girls room, Kimmy
is documenting her life swap experiment on a tape recorder.
Love that tape recorder. Oh God. She announces what it's
like to be DJ Tanner Day one. I'm about to
discover the joy of having a little sister. Stephanie is

(42:28):
minding her own business, brushing comet on the floor when
Kimmy demands, hey, squirt, get me two donuts pronto. Steph
rolls her eyes in your dreams. Kimmy reminds her, don't
you get it, kid, I'm the big sister. I gave
you a direct order, now snap to it. Stephanie tells
her dog to excuse her before addressing Kimmy with the cold,

(42:50):
hard truth, hibbler, let me tell you how this sister
thing works. You're a pain in my neck, I'm a
pain in yours. So if you want a donut, you
march your little bird leg eggs down to the kitchen
and get it yourself. Like the confidence.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, it was like, look, look, look like you have
this all wrong. This isn't a one way street, my friend.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Let me break it down. Yeah yeah. Gimmy just glares
at her, and Steph eggs her on, go ahead, I'll
time you go go, you're losing time.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Gimmy falls for this and rushes out of the room
at her command.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Do you even remember like little kids into that's.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Like go go, you're hurry, you're gonna oh my gosh,
let's see if you can do in thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
And they walk out and be like, oh yeah it anyway, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, this was a brilliant little scene. Steph shakes her
head in disbelief and goes back to pampering comment. She
tells the dog there, goes one human. You're smarter than
It's a great it's.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
A great little bit. You know, you're very great. Also,
your outfit was adorable. I I you know, I have
no words to my outfits are morphine into. I thought
it was like the little onesie again, right, oh yeah,
the little orange little orange onesie. Yeah yeah, that was
that was that was okay, that was cute.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
But it didn't seem like a DJ outfit, you know
what I mean. They didn't really bring mustard yellow and
black right pads.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Bike shorts with the lace at the bottom, not a
shoulder pad or a blazer to be found.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I know, I really wish they had dressed so they
really leaned into Kimmy. Yeah, but I felt like they
could have leaned in with DJ a little bit.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah, that's my That's one of my biggest complaints about
this whole episode is that, like, I never got to
do DJ things like Kandas did great with her oh
lot Tannerito's and she was dressed like me a little
bit later on, But yeah, I never got to really
be DJ. I was just still Kimmy in the Tanner House.
So that's all right. Next to Joey's room, Joey's back

(44:47):
is towards us, and he's purposefully blocking our view of
Jesse while hyping him up. It's macho, it's tough. It's
that hard edge rock and roll image we've been looking for.
He moves to the side so we can get a
glimpse of Jesse head on, and we see a bright
blonde wig that flows all the way down to his
belly button. He is seeing very popular back then, they

(45:11):
mentioned it, Nelson.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yes, he is seething as he tells Joey he hates it.
Camera zooms in on his disgruntled face to prove how
miserable he really is. Joey tries to persuade him, Come on, it's.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Totally Nelson Nelson.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
For those of you who weren't born yet, they were
twins and they had long blonde hair.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
That looked just like that, and they.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Were like a rock and roll duo of the early
nineties eighties.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
I love Nelson.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Terry was was or is friends with them? Or ohy
makeup artist Terry Groves. Yeah, especshietos everybody.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
So he puts a mirror Jesse's face, and this causes
Jesse to scream at the sight of his own appearance.
He immediately did he looks like, oh you know who?
He looked like.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
He looked kind of like like he's trying to be
legalists from uh.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Oh yeah, elf with the long blond hair or the
other one I forget what not Gandal, No, that's no,
the I forget the other who plays him, but the
long the very elfin sort of half.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
And yeah, it did. It was giving. It was giving
a lot. John was was he was. He was making
this joke work very much so so Jesse. Uh immediately
ditches this wig and claims he looks like cousin it.
He tries to spit ball some ideas to help Joey
wish with the vision he's going for. He wants to
be more like white Snake, rat and poison. I feel

(46:41):
like there was a joke there a snake.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
A rat, and poison. There should have been a joke
there didn't this episode long?

Speaker 1 (46:48):
Like, why did they have a bunch of jokes?

Speaker 2 (46:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Jesse wants something that will grab the audience by the
throat and just rip it apart. Joey is nodding his
head and the gears are turning. He asked, what are
those birds that swoop down that everyone is afraid of?
Jesse asks pigeons, and Joey shakes his head. No scarier.
It finally clicks and he exclaims, I got it. You
are vulture. Jesse smirks, vulture. I like it. It's dark,

(47:17):
it's vicious. It's kind of like a buzzard, but it's
got better hair. Joey turns on his announcer voice and says,
ladies and gentlemen, cover your heads, hide you're dead, and
bandage your open wounds. Here comes Vulture. Joey makes weird
squawky noises to bring it home, and Jesse looks at
him funny. Joey encourages him to do it too, so

(47:40):
he takes a whack at it, and after a few attempts,
Jesse finally nails the Vulture pose. Oh yes, this, this
was this was a nice rocking hole.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
It was you know, we were coming out of the
like the eighties glam band sort of era and then.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
It yeah, it was the it was the Motley Crew.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Yeah, it's but Vulture, I mean, it's just it's very
much like TMU, the TU.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Version of whatever they're going for. Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I mean, probably anything good has already been taken.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
So Vulture is also hold on, hold on, White Snake?
Is White Snake really that good? It's it's just we're
just used to it.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
You know what I mean. But if that's true, if they.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Had been Vulture, that would sound normal and White Snake
would sound ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Okay, they both are good point, it gets normalized over time,
and so Vulture Vulture it is. Yes.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Over In Michelle's classroom, Miss Wiltrout tells her students it's.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Time to clean up their desks. Michelle's hand shoots into
the air and she says, oh. Miss Wiltrout approaches her
and Michelle explains, I got crayon on my desk. The
teacher tells her that's all right, A little cleanser will
clean it right up. Michelle lights up. Do you like
to clean? Miss Wiltrout nods, Oh, yes. I always say

(49:08):
a clean room is a happy room, and Michelle exclaims,
My daddy says that too. I relate to this, Like
I feel like I've never related to this as a kid,
but now I'm like, yeah, it's a happy room. I
don't feel mentally clear unless it's a organized room. I
know you feel the same way.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Oh, absolutely, it is a as a young person. Yeah,
you're like, like, that's a lame right, picks up after themselves.
I mean we've seen Felicity's room. Oh uh. So.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
The school bell rings and Miss Wiltrout applauds the kids
for going an entire day without an injury.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
She's one of those signs, you know what I mean,
Like zero days without it, like.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
A count a counting clock. The parents begin to flood
into the classroom to pick up their children. Every single
parent is a mom besides Dannie, who's there to pick
up Michelle. Michelle grabs her dad's hands and exclaims, guess what.
Guess what? Guess what, and Danny excitedly responds what. Michelle

(50:12):
tells him that Miss wil Trout said a clean room
is a happy room, and Danny admits that sounds like
my kind of teacher. Michelle nods that is very good news.
Then Miss will Trout walks up to Danny and shakes
his hand. The two exchanged pleasantries, and Michelle declares, I'll
let you to talk. The two adults don't think much

(50:32):
of this, so Danny begins to make small talk. As
Miss Wiltrout cleans up her classroom. He asks how Michelle
is doing, and her teacher says she did very well
in art class today. However, she points out that most
of it wound up on her desk. Danny jokingly asks
if he can bring the entire table home with him
so he can hang it on the refrigerator, and meanwhile,

(50:54):
Michelle sings songs to Teddy at the other end of
the room. I've got a secret, and Teddy grins, what
tell me? Michelle reveals my daddy and Miss will Trout
are gonna fall in love. Teddy narrows his eyes. They
are not, Michelle grins. They are too. I'm getting a
new mommy, and she excitedly points to her teacher to

(51:15):
prove it. Teddy questions, are teachers going to be your
new mommy? And Michelle smirts. Watch this and she's going
almost Senorita or whatever. It was just like Thisanny's hot
for teachers. It was a few episodes. I guess it
was last season he was dating the underage intern and

(51:38):
now we've got the teacher again. I'm like, Danny has
such a bad track record of dating, although, to be fair,
he's actually not dating Miss will Trout. True, he's not
trying to he's not trying to pick up on her
like he did with very emotionally.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
So she's like, I know, you think for teachers, so
they didn't work.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
She's analyzed him in her ecological ways, and she's like.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Look, if you don't think the rumors spread about you
and Senorita Mosley, everybody in the house knows cause we're
making out in the living room.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
So yeah, Danny will live down. So many teachers that
come to that the dance teacher, Senorita Moseley, like all
the teachers, are just having meals at the Tanner house,
so Michelle skips over to Danny and Miss Wiltrout, and naturally,
Danny is in the middle of giving her some cleaning advice.

(52:30):
Michelle butts in and asks Daddy, can Miss Wiltrout eat
at our house.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
Both adults are a bit thrown by this, but Danny answers, sure,
if Miss Wiltrout is looking for someplace to eat, we'd
love to have her over. Michelle suggests how about lunch tomorrow,
and her teacher admits lunch sounds lovely. Danny lightheartedly responds perfect,
it's a date. Then Michelle pumps her fist with the

(52:55):
victory and says, yes, oh boy, I'm miss bill Trout
could have easily said no, I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
She but nobody had to agree with the five year old.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
But that's not we don't, says Goes.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
You know we've we learned this. She's ruling the house,
she's ruling the classroom, she rules everywhere. Yes, so back
in the.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
There a couple's counselor too. If it ever does work out, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she does. Marriage and family therapy.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
So this is job security for Michelle.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Basically, yeah, let's break down, Yeah, let's break down your relationship.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
So back in the girls room, Steph is in her
pj's getting ready for bed when Kimmy bursts in, wearing
a floral romper. Okay where orange? Yeah yeah, yeah this
was tame. This, I mean compared comparatively speaking. It was
no Mermaid, but it was no Mermaid but but yeah,
I was definitely in a romper era. She tells her

(53:58):
little sis, you know what I've learned since trading places
with DJ. Stephanie rolls her eyes and makes her way
over to DJ's closet as Kimmy continues, There's no one
I'd rather be than me.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
I love Kimmy right, Like, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Jimmy, you have skipped all.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
The high school and just been like, you know.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
What, I like being me?

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Yes? Why wasn't this celebrated more in the whole house?
I was just the butt of all the jokes Off
to you, Kimmy.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
This is revolutionary for a fourteen or fifteen year old
whatever age Kimmy is in this season. Uh yeah, this
is like this is what.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Every Yes, this is why I love Kimmy, this should
be celebrated.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Oh yeah, but there's only one other person. Kimmy would
rather be Madonna because she's really rich. We see Stephanie
get into the closet and shuts herself inside, while Kimmy
continues to talk or maybe Julia Roberts. People say, I
look just like her. Steph shouts from her hiding. But Kimmy,
I'm in the closet. I've closed the door. Does that

(55:05):
mean anything to you? Gimmy thinks for a moment and
then realizes, yeah, I should talk louder. Then I like
how you just you've just given up? You're like I
was just so high.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
In the closet.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
So DJ walks in, wearing a very Gibbler style outfit. Yes,
She sees Kimmy and says, ohl ah, Amiga, give me,
examines her clothes and admits, Hey, I like your outfit,
and DJ responds you should, it's yours, and then she
heads over to her closet and opens the door. Steph
lights up when she sees her older sister, DJ, you're back.

(55:45):
She hops out of the closet and notices her change
of clothes. What have the Gibblers done to you? DJ
explains she's just trying to get the full Kimmy Gibbler experience,
and then she channels her best friend as she tells Stephanie,
now back off, squirt, I just came back to get
my skates. Then DJ addresses Kimmy, you didn't tell me
it was Roller Derby night at your house. It's me

(56:07):
and your dad versus your mom and your brother in
the ultimate grudge match race. Kimmy gives her some advice
watch out for my mom. She hides an egg beater
in her pants. What. I don't know how this would.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I don't know how that relates to Roller Derby.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
But is it a weatbit and like an egg beater?
Do you like a whisk or a like those? I
think but that's a hand mixer mixer, right, So what's
an egg? Is that different than an egg beater? That's
how I beat my egg? Oh you know what? You
know what an egg beater is.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
It's one of those old metal things that you manually
did that with and it beat the eggs. We're talking
some nineteen fifties, sixties like like this is old even
for us. Yeah, yeah, this was this was this was
one of the writers being like.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
An egg beater. Everyone knows like an egg beater.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Yeah, no, it's they were metal things. And yeah, so
I guess, I mean, I guess it's a weapon to
beat off the competitors. I don't it's supposed to be weird?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
What nothing? What are there not? Competitors? Nothing? Didn't you do?
Who's laughing in the chat?

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Man?

Speaker 1 (57:14):
He's laughing? Why is everyone laughing at me?

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Tell me you said you could use it to beat
off competitors.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Oh wait, that's wait what everyone is now? Everyone is
now laughing in the chat.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I'm sorry I heard it, and I was like, I
can't let that go.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
I'm sorry. My mind was still stuck on what don't
I understand about the sport? Because I'm right, I'm not
roller derby?

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Is you know anything? It's you it's fighting on skates? Right?

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Didn't you do this in a fuller episode or something?

Speaker 2 (57:47):
It was a roller derby with something other, some other
type of I don't know something competition.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Yeah, I can't remember. No, it was not roller derby.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
But yeah, I mean, I guess it would be a
heavy metal object, would be an unexpected thing to have
in your pants, so.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Off to beat people off.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
It's yeah, it's you know, well, I guess there's no
better place to put it than in your pants.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
If that's the case, I'm gonna blame my cold, my
head cold.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
For how long it took me to understand why you
all were laughing?

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Okay, back to roller Derby. Where the heck were we? Oh? Yeah, okay,
egg beaters and we're run the beating off of people.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Here we go, hiding an egg beater in her pants?
Got it?

Speaker 1 (58:34):
There we go? DJ laughs, got it? You know, Kimmy,
it's kind of fun being you. DJ turns to leave
and runs into Danny. On her way out. She says, hey,
mister t pretty sharp sweater. She gets half way out
the door before adding not, and that's all I can
think of? Is that? Is that an egg beater in
your pants? Or you just happy to see me? This

(58:58):
could be our next shirt?

Speaker 2 (59:00):
You know?

Speaker 1 (59:01):
Is that an egg beater in your vests?

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Boy, I need to I need to compose myself with
my teeth.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Yeah, I need to drink I mean a water, right,
we need to, we need I'm parking, clarify that, I'm yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
So at the Smash Club, Danny and Becky are in
a very crowded space filled with rock and roll people.
Danny even compliments someone on their dog collar accessory. Becky
jokingly tells Danny, you really fit in that, mister Rogers
sweater didn't give you away at all.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Yeah, it's true, you really think it really looks Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Then a mop of long blonde hair comes walking out
from behind the stage. A familiar surfer voice points to
Danny and Becky, Hey, man, I know you dudes. The
person flips back their hair and we see it's Joey.
He excitedly tells them, wait till you see the special effects.
I rigged. The guys from the record company are going
to be totally stoked. They got a hell of a budget, right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
They got a wig budget, they wig budget, got a
special effects budget, they got a harness budget. They got
smoke budgets. This is very, very high level. Joey comments
on danny sweater. He calls it bogus, and Danny responds, thanks, man,
it's machine washable. They fist bump while shouting all right,
this is like the nerdiest exchange ever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
Also, wasn't bogus like a bad thing? I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
I was trying to remember, like that bogus, like bogus
is usually like that's ridiculous, that's bogus. Yeah, maybe I
felt like that's what he was saying. Maybe, well it
was Maybe that's the point.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
It was thirty years to get that joke. Yes, Danny
takes it as a compliment and adds on, oh and
it's machine washable.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
If you have to explain it, it loses something. Anyways,
the lights begin to dim, Joey tells them he has
to go start the show. He says peace Hippies to
his friends, and Becky responds peace baby. Over the speakers.
We hear the Smash Club presents the world premiere of Vulture,
and then a spotlight shines on Jesse, who's dressed in

(01:01:15):
a black leather jumpsuit with fringes on the arms to
make it look like he has wings. He's doing his
Vulture pose while suspended in the air. A fog looking
like a Jeans Simmons. Yeah, that's exactly the tongue and everything. Yeah,
he totally did.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
A fog machine fills the stage before we hear Jesse
count the band in using a raspy rocker voice as
they begin the song two small explosions happen on stage,
which really gets the crowd riled up right pirate technics, Yeah,
this is impressive.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Jesse is dangling just an inch above the stage, but
he can't put his feet directly on the floor. He's stuck.
Yells a Joey to put him down, but Joey can't.
He tells Jesse to sing and go along with it
while he fixes it. Jesse begins I Want a Rock,
and his band echoes the lyrics after him. As Jesse
gets lifted into the air again, he ditches the real

(01:02:09):
lyrics and shouts Joey, get me down, and the band
echoes those lyrics too. Finally, Joey runs onto the stage
and tries to pull Jesse down himself. Joey asks one
of the guitarists to hold Jesse for a second. Uncle
Gary Griffin, Yeah, Uncle Gary Griffin, Yeah. Read the red
headed ripper, Gary Gibler, Yeah, yeah, Gary Gibler, Yes. But
Gary Gibler reminds him he's trying to play. He pushes

(01:02:32):
Jesse toward the crowd, and Jesse goes flying directly over them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
He goes back and forth and Becky shouts from the
crowd be careful sweetheart.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Joey tells him to keep singing. They love him. Jesse
snatches the long blonde wig from his head as he
soars back into the crowd once more. Then we get
a quick POV shot from Jesse as he's swinging over
the crowd of people.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
I just want I was like, I I wasn't there
when they shot this, but I was like, how did
we do this?

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
How did we do this?

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
I don't did they just attach it? I guess that.
I mean, I mean, cameras weren't small back and handheld
wasn't I mean that wasn't small either. No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
How did they have like a not a and they
didn't even have steady cams back?

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I don't know how they did this, but that made
it equally or even more impressive. And then I was afraid,
oh my gosh, are we going to see like the
edge of the stage, like I kept like it went
way out there? So where are we?

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
The POV shot. The music stops and Jesse continues to
swing back and forth in dead silence. Becky shouts, way
to go, sweetheart. Well, Danny holds up a lighter for him.
Jesse just laughs at the situation and jokes Vulture lives,
and that was a thing that we did, and that

(01:03:57):
was Vulture. That was Vulture's short lived career. Back in
the kitchen, Joey is trying to assure Jesse that the
Vulture performance was great. He even claims the firemen, we're
happy to get him down after Oh, I bet they were.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
It's going to go to their log book of stupid
things that they you know what I mean, what's the
most ridiculous things that you did this week? Cat, you're
in a fringy jacket down from a ceiling a small club.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yeah, you know, they were talking crap about that after
they were done. Yeah. Jesse winces in pain as he
walks across the floor bow legged. He shouts in Joey's face,
Thanks to you, I got rock and Roll's biggest wedgie.
Joey harnesses are not comfortable. I don't blame him for this.
I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Yeah, yeah, it feels dangerously close. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
And when you were in a lot of harms and
you don't even have, Joey offers you don't want to fly,
you can always burrow up from the stage and be
the gopher. He imitates a gopher, and Jesse just glares
at him. He question the gopher, Oh, there's a real
tough image, Joey counters, ask any Gardner who he fears

(01:05:06):
the most. And if you remember back to the movie
Caddie Shack, you know, and then he begins a Carl
Spackler impression. Yes, a Carl Spackler slash Bill Murray, Bill Murray. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Yeah, he did the voice for Ghostbusters and stuff. Right, Oh, yeah, yeah,
that's right, he did.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
He's very good at it, very good at I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
And to be fair, if I would have gone with
a naked mole rat, if we're going for burrowing creatures, terrifying,
really terrifying. Yeah, so if you're gonna find then a gopher, well,
have you ever seen a naked mole rat?

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
I haven't. No, Well you're gonna have to google that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I'm afraid they're blind, they got weird teeth, they do
they wreck your lawn, That's what I want to know,
because we got you know, I don't. Yeah, but they're like,
you know, they're they're moles. They did they destroy Okay,
I'm gonna be weirdly terrifying. I feel like I'm gonna
regret googling naked mole rat, but I'm going to as

(01:06:02):
soon as we're done here. Uh so, Jesse laughs, He
shakes his head.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
This whole thing was just a big mistake. I'm going
back to being Jesse and the Rippers. I'm gonna find.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Some like the band that you were when you had
a tour two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Right there was this was like, did the Rippers have
any input into this vulture transition?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Like this is just no, No, it's not a democracy.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
They've learned.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
They've learn Jesse and the Rippers right, and we've seen
the Rippers are replaceable. They cycle in and out, so
cycle in and out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
Yep uh, He says, I'm gonna just find some record
company out there who wants me for me, Joey suggests,
and if not, you can always make a living plain
Peter Pan. Jesse gives him a death stare and holds
up a finger before lunging at him. Joey quickly runs away,
and Jesse can't catch him because of his sore limbs.

(01:06:53):
Did somebody just put it? Yes, it's a picture.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Rachel just posted a picture of a naked mole rat.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
I can't look Yeah, look at it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
I can't, it says potentially it says potential security issue detected. No,
it's fine, it'll give you a virus on your computer.
But it's totally worth it, totally worth that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Okay, how do.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
I I told you it looks like a body part.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
It like if it had teeth and like a nose.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
And that's really that is just want Yeah, okay. Well
we're also known as a sand puppy. Yeah, that's just okay.
I that's so gross. I don't know whether say thank
you or to hate you for that, but that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Was I'm just saying, if you're going for scary ground
dwelling things, that or a gopher, gophers are cute compared
to that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Yeah, oh yeah, they're just yeah. Okay, naked roll map
mole rat that is the that is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Naked roll mat. A naked roll mat is some sort
of hot yoga I think. Yeah, I feel delirious.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
Okay, moving right along. We're in the living room. Michelle
is sitting in a chair holding a cup of wild
flowers when the doorbell rings. She looks at her dad,
who is leisurely walking down the stairs, and says, my
teacher is here. Hurry up. He approaches Michelle, who gives
him the cup of flowers to seal the deal. She
reminds him that women love flowers. Danny takes a cup

(01:08:35):
and admits that's very sweet of her. He begins to
walk toward the door, but Michelle shouts wait a minute.
She waves him back over and adjusts his hair. After
she's done, she looks him over and says, you look
very handsome. Danny's a bit confused as he says, well,
thank you very much. As he makes his way over
to the door again, Michelle advises be nice and don't

(01:08:57):
talk about yourself. Danny is immediately I do not talk
about myself, and then he pauses and admits, okay, well
maybe I do, but that's because when I was five
I didn't really have any friends.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Michelle a very bob moment too, such a well, I
mean it's sort of a thing, and you're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Boy, here we go. That's such a bob thing. Michelle
cuts some offenses Daddy because he's proving her point, and
so he sighs, Okay, you're right, I'll do my best.
Danny opens the door and Miss Wiltrout appears wearing a
royal blue suit jacket with a humong his shoulder pads,

(01:09:36):
and a skirt to match. Quite the outfit.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
This is she dresses up for lunch at her student's house, which,
you know. I don't know what's in this for Miss Wiltrout.
Maybe she's just really excited for someone to make her lunch.
But maybe she's just being night. Maybe she's a people pleaser.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
I don't know. Why didn't she agree to this? I
don't know. Maybe she has a crush on Danny. Maybe
it's maybe you know what I mean, like maybe she
was like, oh, okay, hey, I'll go for it, and then.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
Dan She's like, wow, no, God, of course not, that's
so weird.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Yeah, poor miss Wiltrout. She shakes Danny's hand and says
hello to Michelle, and Michelle gives her a little wave
in response. Then Danny hands over the cup of flowers
and Miss Wiltrout gasps. Dandy lyons my favorite. Michelle chimes in,
Daddy is the nicest man in the whole world. Danny gushes, Oh,
some people may think I'm the cleanest. In fact, in

(01:10:29):
high school I founded the FJA Future Janitors of America.
Michelle loudly clears her throat to send a signal, and
Danny gets the hint and pivots, well, enough about me,
why don't we go eat some lunch. Michelle runs in
between the adults and grabs each of their hands before
leading them to the kitchen. Then she stops abruptly and

(01:10:50):
connects Danny and missus Wiltrout's hands together. She runs in
front of them and says, this way, please, wouldn't this
be the red flag moment? Right here? I was just say.
Nobody was like, why we want Michelle? Yeah? So they
continue holding hands as they follow Michelle into the kitchen,

(01:11:12):
like this is where I'd be like, let's stop for
a minute and have a conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Okay, yeah, what's happening, Michelle go on through her little mind.
There Michelle, so in the kitchen, then the show would
be six minutes too.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Short, right, we have to fill all twenty two minutes.
So Danny notices that Michelle has set the kitchen table
all by herself. Miss Wiltrout admits it looks very pretty,
and then Michelle proceeds to set down half of a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich on each of their plates.
She sadly admits there's no candles because I can't play
with matches. They laugh and Danny pulls out Miss Wiltrout's

(01:11:46):
seat for her. Michelle boasts isn't he a gentleman and
Miss Wiltrout nods yes. He gets a gold star for
good manners. Danny realizes that Michelle also made lunch all
by herself. She nods and tells them their lunch menu.
We have peanut butter and jelly and milk. Danny points

(01:12:06):
out that there's only one glass of milk for them,
and Michelle grins as she pulls two straws out of
her pocket and places them in the glass. I know,
She says, now you can share. Have a nice lunch,
and she begins to walk away. Danny asks, aren't you
going to eat with us? And Michelle insists you need
to be alone. Then she presses play on her kiddie

(01:12:27):
radio and gives her dad an okay signal with her hands.
Danny and missus Wiltrout glance at each other in shock.
Danny frantically runs to turn off the music and awkwardly admits,
does she sure wit to a lot of trouble for
this mystery? What could possibly be happening. What is happening?
Miss Wiltrout responds, you know, she's doing really well in school.

(01:12:50):
You don't need to suck up like this. Danny insists,
we Tanners are not suck ups. Goodie two shoes maybe,
but not suck ups. Miss will Trout suggests maybe she
just wants us to be very good friends. Danny shrugs,
I guess, and then he gestures to the food and
says bone appetite on cue. Michelle peeks her head through

(01:13:12):
the door and asks, are you in love yet? Ah?
There it is. Danny begins choking on his food at
the sound of this. Miss will Trout springs into action
to help, and once he's okay, she pats him on
the head and calls him a good boy with putting
his arms in the air. Was that put your arms up?

(01:13:32):
I'm like, does that actually do anything? We're we just doing?
I don't know. Does that open up the I don't
know this, sophig I don't know, but I don't know.
I've never actually tried them. So Danny is in a
disbelief we're just friends. So Michelle suggests, then you better
start kissing. Danny's eyes widen further your teacher and I
are not going to kiss and we're not going to
fall in love. He learned that lesson before. Michelle pau

(01:13:58):
now kissing teachers does not know. Oh, not a good idea, Danny.
Michelle is pouting now I'll never get a new mommy,
and she sadly walks away. Danny apologizes to Miss Wiltrout,
admitting he had no idea. This is what Michelle had
in mind. He excuses himself so he can go talk
to her, and Miss Wiltrout is very understanding. As Danny

(01:14:19):
hurries away, Miss Wiltrout sighs at the heartbreaking situation. Oh,
I'm supprised she's.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Just because she was like, yeah, goes my shot there.
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
She's like, I don't get a nice lunch anymore. I
don't get my chance. Danny Tanner.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Up in Michelle's room, Michelle is slumped on her bed
when Danny knocks on the door. She sadly says come in,
and Danny enters. He takes a seat in front of
her and says, I think we have to talk, and
Michelle agrees, I think we'd better. He sighs, I'm sorry
you went to so much trouble today, and Michelle admits
I wish I had a mommy. Danny tells her, I

(01:15:00):
know you don't remember, but you had a wonderful mommy
and she loved you very very much. Michelle frowns, it's
not fair all the other kids have mommies, and Danny responds,
I know it may seem like everybody else has a mommy,
but the truth is some people just have a mommy,
or they just have a daddy, or a grandma or

(01:15:21):
a grandpa, or an aunt and uncle. There's all different
kinds of families, and Michelle asks, really, and Danny nods.
What makes a family is when you have people who
take care of one another and love each other. You
have a very special family. Danny names all of the
special family members Michelle has and she giggles, I bet

(01:15:42):
nobody in school has a Joey. Danny laughs and tells
her that's a pretty safe bet. He admits that in
a way, Michelle and her sisters are pretty lucky because
they have four people who love them very very much.
Michelle grins, I love you very very much. She gives
her dad a big hug and he kisses her on

(01:16:02):
the cheek, telling Michelle that he loves her too. Then
he picks her up and says, come on, let's go
have lunch with your teacher. But Michelle wonders, will I
ever get a new mommy? Danny smiles, well, I hope, so,
she smirks, have you met the school nurse? She's very hot?
Danny's interest is piqued. Yes, the five year old? Really?

(01:16:23):
How hot is she? What color hair does she have?
Michelle exclaims hot, pink, And that's our show.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Like this was going so well, This was going so well,
going so well. On the plane and Michelle starts talking
about how hot the nurse is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Right, I'm just like, gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
No, But I will say this scene, though, is so
oh so sweet. I can't tell you how many people
have told me that this episode really made an impact
on them, that like they were growing up in a
house that was an alternative family or was you know,
a LGBTQ family or whatever. Yeah, and so it didn't

(01:17:01):
look like what they everyone thought it was supposed to.
And how this episode and the Tanner family and the
fact that they were very clear that a family is
about a group of people that love each other, whether
or not they're blood related, you know, right, And I
love that I had that because that was always the
biggest message of full houses, like as long as you love.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Each other, you get you know, your family. This was
revolutionary in nineteen ninety one and a lot of people
could relate to that because they're like, my family doesn't
look like the traditional mom and a dad or twenty
five kids. Most families, A lot of families don't look
like that at all, So like this was, yeah, this
was a great message and why so many people loved
the Tanners. Yeah, you know, they didn't look like other

(01:17:42):
sitcom families, but they loved each other so much. Yeah, yeah,
I love Yeah. Besides the last few lines, I love
this scene, right, so very very cute, great lesson.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Yeah yeah, so yeah that was that was That was
a cute one. I liked this and yeah it was.
There was you know, kind of a little sad moment
when she's like I need a mommy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Yeah, yeah, no, that was. This was a great storyline.
It was age appropriate for Michelle to be wondering how
does love work? How does right?

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
You just should lunch and things go well and then
you're in love, right, right, that's five year old for you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
That's that. They just break it down as simple as possible.
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
So yeah, that was sweet. I felt like there were
a few too many storylines a B in a C storyline.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
I'm like this, this is a little too much. So yeah,
it did feel like a lot was going on. There
was a lot going on, So I wish they had
just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
We had a shadows seeing the mom, we had Vulture.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
We had Kimmy, DJ and DJ. Yeah, so there was
there was a lot there and that's I wish Again
I said this earlier, but I wish DJ and Kimmy.
I wish we had I'd gotten more of a chance
to act like DJ and there would have been more
funny bits in there. But that's what I feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Vulture could have been another movie, different episode. Yeah, I agree,
then we might have had more Vulture, And I don't
know that anyone needed that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
That was one scene was enough. One scene of Vulture
was plenty. Uh. Yeah, that was quite the production for
a for a B or C storyline. They had a
lot of special effects, put a lot of money out
of that, so that was it was quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Vulture was no no cheap gig, no at all.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Yeah, so do you have any uh? Did you have
any everywhere you look?

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
So I was looking in the audience and I didn't
have no an audio for the smash club, and I
didn't see anybody. Weren't going to be extras in the
smash club the Vulture, right, our moms with like just
black makeup on and like rock and roll leather jackets.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't see that. No, I didn't notice.
I thought. At one point I.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Saw my Mark Sandrowski as Jesse's POV. He was flying
over the audience. Oh yeah, saw Mark Sandrowski kind of
working the the little DJ booth or what of the
music the booth?

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
But maybe not. It was so quick I couldn't really tell.
But I don't know. I don't think that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
I don't think he would have been working the sound
booth because on a day when you have extras, your
second ad is the one that's.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
He's ranked right, right, So maybe that wasn't him. Now,
even Michelle's classroom when the moms come in, I didn't
recognize any of these people. I didn't either. I didn't either,
So I I am everywhere you look less tonight. Okay, yeah,
me too. I didn't. Uh, there's there's nothing nothing there. No,
does the fan Auritos have any everywhere he looks if

(01:20:33):
you've noticed anything? I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
Ye I didn't notice anything on the wall that change,
you know, none of that. Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
But there was a lot going on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
There were a lot of storylines, storyline There was a
lot going on. We had people flying, we had vultures,
we had rompers, had like where's Waldo, Danny make it
out with another teacher or trying to or what have you?

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
You know, Danny.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
But no, this was a really cute episode and I love, love,
love this message because it really gets to the heart
of what full House was about. So, yeah, it's too
loved it, loved it. Yeah, And so a next episode
is season five, episode three, Take my Sister Please.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
