Look at you. Yeah you're international recording here.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yes, yes, international recording here. I am in Canada and
using my phone as a hotspot because the hotel would
not work with zoom. And yeah, it's probably going to
eat up all of my data in like the first
fifteen minutes of this because I only I think I
only get a very limited amount. So let's just see
where this goes.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's your bill gonna be like next month.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's gonna be interesting.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Just send I heart your phone bill for the month,
right right, I heart? Yeah, I can pay the three
thousand dollars phone bill.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, I didn't think about that. I don't know. I honestly,
I don't know what's going to happen. I want air
pod is working. I can only hear you in my
left ear.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Okay, yeah, this is great.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Unless something else has gone horribly wrong and I just
can't hear out of this ear. And because there's no
one else in the room. I don't know, but I
think it's just the AirPods sure, which is annoying on
a whole other front that like do I have, Like
they said they were both charged. I hate technology.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm going back to can I get a one of those?
She's thinking it was like a lot of commitment. No, No,
feels like a lot of commitment. I don't know about
I don't know about that. I think less of the
religious aspect of the Amish and more just the I
can't get technology.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
To work properly.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh okay, because I'm old, So I think that's more
the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, we'll be Luddites instead of Amish.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
There's an anti techno fascinating article. Lutes were not anti technology.
They were not than the stake antika. We're not anti technology.
They wanted to be included in the discussions of how
machines and workers were being incorporated at the time of
the Industrial Revolution, but they were left out of the conversation,

(02:12):
and so instead they destroyed the machines, not because they
wanted to, but because they were basically like, hey, we
want to figure out the best way to move forward,
and the industrialists that ran everything were like, no, we
don't want you to be a part of this. We
just want to exploit your labor.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh okay. So it was like a protest. They were like,
it was, yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It was there. They were ran by a man named
u Luedite, so I forget his first name. But anyway, Okay,
that's there's your historical lesson.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
For the How do you know all of the like
this is so the most I have knowledge that you remember.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Because I just read I don't know, I just read
a lot of articles and weird things that like pique
my interest and they're all over the map. So yeah,
so there's your history lesson for the day. And I'm
sure everyone that's listening to this podcast is like, can
we get to the.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Point we get to the point.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, I'm I mean speaking of Luddites and and lack
of technology, the entire this entire episode that we're about
to review is all because of like a lack of technology.
A map you'd have to note now you'd be like, oh,
Santa can see my GPS location?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh oh oh. I was like, well, the plane didn't fail,
it was just.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
It was no point is weather. But Steph freaking out
that Santa wouldn't find.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Her right right?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, this was pre map, pre GPS. You couldn't call
your family, like you know, you had one payphone.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
The pace was the very Yeah, this this was one
of those episodes that the lack of technology.

I actually I remember this episode. It was really fun,
you know, to shoot. I loved, you know, it was.
Stephanie got a lot of fun things to do in this,
a lot of little emotional moments that I had to
be very disappointed. But I just remember, you know, I
remember Bob on the thing coming back in and you
know somebody episode the conveyor belt. I remember drawing the

(04:37):
pictures for Stephanie's map and you know, the signs and stuff.
So yeah, it was fun.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I was trying to hustle for you, Jody.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
You could be an auctioneer or something.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Well. Today, today we are discussing season two, episode nine,
titled Our Very First Christmas Show. Oh. It originally aired
on December sixteenth, nineteen eighty eight, and it goes a
little something like this. When the Tanners get stuck in
an airport in Colorado and must spend Christmas there, Stephanie

(07:13):
fears that Santa won't find her. There's a big problems,
the big problems. Yeah, genuine, genuine fear. It was directed
by John Bowab and written by Kim Weisakoff, who's a male,
one of our male writers. Who Yes, he was great.
He was with us for most of most of the series.
I want to I want to say.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, I think Kim, Yeah, Kim Weiscoff was on the
show for many, many seasons, many seasons I don't remember.
I will be honest, I don't remember our director, John Bowabb.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't remember him either, but he's directed before. So
we were just yeah, we were too young. I was
just yeah, I was too little, too little, too focused
on drawing.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Apologies, apologies, nothing personal, yeah, definitely not personally. I don't
really remember, you know, things from last week, so right,
that's gone, long gone.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
We have some fabulous guest stars again. This week we
have returning as Grandma Kitzopolis. We have Ivonne Wilder and
then returning as Grandpa Kitzopolis, John Apria, and we also
have Christy Summers who plays the Stewardess, the nameless Stewardess.
She did guest appearances and cheers my two dads and

(08:27):
Charles in charge. And then drum roll please, playing the
role of grumpy man Lionel. We have Sorel Book who
is famously known as Boss Hog and Dukes of Hazard.
Oh my god, he is so great. He's so good
at everything that he does. And he's particularly really hill episode.

(08:47):
Oh my gosh, he's so angry, such a curmudgeon. He
just like nails out over.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's exactly who like I mean, you know, that was
exactly who he was. Like every character he played was
the Curmudgeonyoss Hog. Yeah again, you know, problematic shell. It's
late seventies, we're not going to go there. But Boss
Hog was an epic character. I just remember him in
this big, giant white cowboy hat. Yes that's right, big
with the accent.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Big. Everything was big, big, air, big big accent, right,
yeah yeah, those hazard right, And unfortunately he died of
cancer in nineteen ninety four, just after his sixty fourth birthday.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
So oh wow, not not very young. I mean not
very very very young. Oh wow, not very old, Jesus.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Not very old. See that's okay. You have jet lag.
I have kolonoscopy prep. We have a lot of excuses
for why we're going to screw things up today.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Everyone's like, I'm so glad I tuned in.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
This is middle age, a middle aged podcast. Okay. We
start with a teaser in the living room where Danny
is adjusting the camera while everyone stands in front of
the Christmas tree ready to take their annual Christmas card photo. Oh,
Danny announces, everybody look merry, peaceful, and joyous. He runs
in to get the shot, telling everyone to say Christmas cheese,

(10:02):
but the phone rings and the girls all run to
get it. Forgetting about the camera. The guys grabbed the
kids just in time for the camera to click, producing
a very cute and semi chaotic Christmas card picture.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I thought it was like an adorable Christmas card, but
oh yeah, yeah. One of the reasons I don't do
Christmas cards is just like getting the picture alone is
like never mind, I don't want.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
To deal with it. Oh yeah, it's a it's a
it's an extreme sport trying to get your kids, especially
when they're little.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Love though, it's such a cute like family card though,
that they're all you know, Joey and Jesse and Danny
are all in it.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
With the girls.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Like I love that that they you know, were making
that their Christmas card is like a complete family I do.
I'm gonna be a little judge.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Though, Oh what's your judge? What's your judgment?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
The tree and no offense to trees. Uh, it was
a little oddly shaped.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh it was a squatty it's a squatty tree.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, it was a strange Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's a bottom heavy tree choice.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
You know what I mean, Like I don't know it was. Yeah,
it was like kind of out weird angles and not
like again, it didn't look like what I expect sitcom
Christmas trees these days to look like I think, like
we it's just everything looks so perfect on TV these days. Yeah,

(11:19):
you know what I mean, Like can you imagine or
how right it'd be? Picture perfect? But that like you know,
it was kind of a weird, funky looking tree. I
didn't hate it. I just was like, oh, an interesting
choice to you know, be the Tanner family Christmas. But
I like that it's a little off.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I liked it, like it looks it looks more real.
It looked like they just went out back and chopped
it and put it up.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
You know, it's not well obviously, I mean, they of
course have a Christmas tree lot in their backyard along
with a used car dealership and towyard. So yes, that
makes sense, makes sense. It's just the shape tree that
they grow in the backyard, right.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I liked it, and yeah, it was a lot. It
was a lot shorter than the tree in Fuller House.
Which did they get this part? Did they cut the
Did they cut the scene where you ride the tree
back and forth in Fuller House? I don't think that
ever made are.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now they didn't they cut that.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
They cut that. They put you through a harness and
everything riding the tree, and they.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Talk about how rude that was, Like the pilot episode, wasn't.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
It It was? No, No, it was I want to
say this, I.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Think it was anyway, it was. It was early in
the episodes but yes, I did have to get on
and ride quote unquote the Christmas tree, but apparently it
did not look really realistic.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Gee, I wonder why.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Maybe that was no, maybe that was like season four.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
I think it was season four three. We had new showrunners,
so I feel like this was a new show runner thing.
They were like, hey, let's put Jody on a tree.
Four Yeah, here, you throw her on a tree. Yeah right,
So and then they didn't have to ride this Christmas tree,
so that was good. No, it was too short and
not stable enough for you to ride that trees.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure they would have tried
to throw me on there if they thought about it.
You know, just hang around right. Yeah, it was the eighties.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Throw a child actor in a heart.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, see what happened in harness, Fly him all over
the room. They'll be fine, oh dear.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, so we continue. We continue in the living room.
It's all decorated for Christmas, and Danny is talking into
a very large video camcorder saying hi to all of
his viewers on Wake Up San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Which, by the way, I just thought was like such
a lovely premonition of Bob and his America's Funniest Home Videos,
America's it was. It was very America America's Funniest Home Videos. Yeah,
it was the most It was the Americanist thing.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
It was the most Americanist thing.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
But yeah, I just thought it was funny. You know,
here's Bob with his uh gigantic cam quarder again and
that was like people were impressed when you, you know,
hauled that rig onto your shoulder. Don't care you need
like a steady cam operator for those things. Now, it's oh,
that's a workout. That is a hit workout trying to
lift those things. And he kept turning it around to
face himself. It was pretty selfie days. So yeah, this

(14:12):
was definitely a commitment.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Impressive, very impressive for Danny to go to all this
effort just for his viewers of Wake Up San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, there may be other reasons which everyone's hinting at,
but we'll see. Oh right, right, why Danny's recording the show?

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, true. So he announces to his viewers that he's
off to Colorado for the first annual Tanner Family Christmas Reunion.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
All right, wait, what hold on? My thought was this
is Danny are the Tanners from Colorado.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I was trying to figure that out because we know
that the mom, his mother is from.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Mom's the Seattle, that's where she lives. Now, oh maybe,
but I'm wondering if the Tanner origins are cold Colorado.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I don't know. They never go they never go into
it more. It's just this is where we're going in Colorado,
all right, Ye're like, choose a state that has snow,
because this is part of the plot, is that they
get snowed in a plane has to land.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
So Colorado, Okay, that's a snowy est state, right, And
we've already been to Tahoe. Jesse, you know, obviously snowshoes
up there all the time with.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
His band and his motorcycle and his helmet, right, and.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
His motorcycle is off his motorcycle, his snowtorcycle.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, So it's yes, got to come up with somewhere new.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
So Joey and Jesse burst through the kitchen doors, carrying
their luggage on skis while joyously singing sleigh Ride. They
are in fantastic moods, like they've opened the show with
some great energy, right, They're happy. Danny continues to record
while introducing Jesse, who starts rapidly fixing his hair when
he sees the camera. Danny asks them to say something

(15:52):
to the viewers of Wake Up San Francisco. Joey starts, Hey,
you there on the couch, dig those kooky pajamas, while
Jesse adds Danny's only taping this vacation so he can
write it off as a tax deduction.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Bingo, there it is, and Danny's like, that would be wrong.
But also, if you are going to air this on
the show, then technically it's a tax.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Deduction, right. I think it's a great idea. The viewers
want to come along for this, and Dan, you get
the text.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Works out well for everyone.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's called planning ahead.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
You know, he's had a house, he's looking for all
the deductions he can get.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
He's got a lot of mouths to feed, so he
needs all the tax breaks he can get. True. Yeah,
So Danny laughs from behind the camera and points it
at himself and says, memo to me, edit that out.
He tells Jesse to be careful with the red bag
full of Christmas presents, and then asks Joey if he
remembered to bring his Santa suit Joey shakes his blue

(16:47):
Duffel bag.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
He is psyched and the jingling is not going to
give it away at all.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh no, no, the kids won't figure that out at all.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, sorry, why is your bag jingling? What it's not?
That's you must be hearing things. I'm sorry, right, Just
distract the kids with something.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, So Joey announces that he's been working on his
Ho Ho ho all week long. Joey motions for him
to stop the Santa impersonation because Stephanie is walking right
down the stairs. Joey and Jesse turned the Santa laugh into.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Ho Ho ho home on on the range.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Just good, save guys, Good save. Danny starts recording Stephanie
and points out that her happiness is what Christmas is
all about. Steph replies, Daddy, I don't want to go
on this dumb trip.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I feel like telling a child that your happiness is
what Christmas is all about. It's just a really great
way to raise a narcissist, too, Like this is all
about you, isn't that the It's the entire antithesis of
what you're supposed to be telling your kids at Christmas.
But hey, it's don't worry about it. We're all together.
That's the point. No, this is all about you and
your happiness, all.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
About fulfilling your expectations right and right, giving you the
things that you want. Yes, right, right. It's a lot
of pressure, man, that is a lot of pressure.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I mean, even though that is what most parents probably
think about it Christmas anyway, it's like, God, they have
to be happy. I made these stupid kids happy.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
But yeah, but you're not saying that on your camcorder
to you know, a million wake up San Francisco viewers, too. True.
So Danny's like, hey, the camera's still running, steph can
you'll be a little bit cuter? So she puts on
a big smile and in her high pitched voice, she
reiterates I don't want to go on this dumb trip
and gets a hearing laugh from the audience. You are say,

(18:33):
to be cuter.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
You didn't tell me to change my message, so I
can to this day, I can very cutely tell you
something that you know you may or may not want
to hear.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Just say it with a sweet smile on your face.
Just yeses, yes, yes, bless your heart. Okay, So Stephanie
says that Santa Claus will never find her in Colorado
because he knows that she lives here. Danny assures her
that Santa will be there on Christmas morning. Steph says, well,
she had to be sure, so she drew him a map.

(19:04):
She explains the poster board. It has the north Pole,
Santa is here and San Francisco. Stephanie was here in Colorado.
Stephanie will be here Christmas morning. And then she finishes
by pointing to a bird she drew named Tony. Yeah,
it's random, Oh Tony, yes, of course, Tony.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah yeah, Well Anthony would be ridiculously formal for a bird, so.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
On a first name basis with Tony. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
much more casual. So then we cut to Michelle's room.
DJ is tying Michelle's shoes and she asks Michelle if
she can keep a secret. Michelle replies okay, DJ. DJ
closes the door and admits I found out where Dad
hid all our Christmas presents. Michelle gives an adorable stunned

(19:51):
look back at DJ. That's not at all prompted by Adria. Later,
DJ tells Michelle, I'm getting a new CD player. Steph
is getting roller skates and you are going to be
rolling in new toys. Michelle shouts back toys. She's very
excited about this. DJ reminds her not to say anything,

(20:11):
and then locks her lips with her fingers and tosses
the key. Michelle does the same, trying to copy her.
It's very very cute, very cute.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Little Mom's a cute little Did you ever find Christmas
presents or something like hidden that you weren't supposed to
find birthday presents or anything?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
No, that was not my that wasn't my thing. I
wanted to be surprised, you know, I too, But I.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I accidentally found stuff one year, Like I went looking
for a pillow or something in my mom's closet and
I like pulled something down. It was on the shelf,
and I was like, oh, but I like put it
back and was like, you didn't see that. You didn't
see that? Like she kind of tried to convince myself
and yeah, come on.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Janis, Janice has got to find better places to hide
the presence.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Well, she's usually the was very like, don't go in there,
and I, you know, was like it was towards the
end of of you know.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Where we could pull it off anyway, Oh, okay, the
end up? Okay, yeah, I never found presence. I never
wanted to find presents. I never accidentally found presents. Yeah,
I accidentally.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
It was not I didn't like it. It was not fun.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I don't want to I love surprise. I I like
surprised too. Even if you give your parents a detailed
list with links of everything you want, I still like
some surprise about what did you actually end up getting?
So yeah, right. The next set, we are on the airplane,

(21:33):
which is very cool. This is a cool set for
you know, an eighties right. It reminded me of the
Fuller episode where we were on our way to Japan
and they brought like they constructed like half a plane
and without just without one of the sides, one of
the walls.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
It reminded me also of the episode where Steph and
Michelle wind up on the plane to Auckland instead of Oakland.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah that's all right. Oh there's a lot of airplanes
in this in this series. Okay, yeah, yeah, it's a
fantastic set. Looks very realistic, just like a nineteen eighty
eight airplane.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh it was great. Yep, don't call me Shirley.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Such a good movie. So, as the passengers are getting settled,
Danny still has his video camcorder out and he's asking
DJ to recap what is going on. She says, well, Dad,
I'm getting ready to buckle my seat belt and return
my seat back to its original upright position. Steph says
she made a sign for Santa that's featured on yellow
paper in the shape of a caution sign reading Stephanie

(22:31):
on board. She gives a few little eyebrow raises as
she shows it off, which.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Is my little groucho marks there.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, it's so cute. Can tell you you're focusing really
hard on raising those eyebrows. Yeah, oh yeah, for sure. Adorable.
So Joey walks through the aisle holding Michelle, and he
tells her to say hi to all the nice people
on the plane. Michelle waves hi people, and the passengers
in their seats all wave back. Joey announces it's her

(22:58):
first time flying, and everyone lets out an annoyed groan. Yeah,
but Jesse stands up telling everybody, hey, take it easy,
take it easy.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I mean already, if this family was on your flight,
you'd be like, oh my god, we got this guy
with the camera and then these people, and we got
a baby, baby, we don't.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Care, right, and a girl with her signs.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well the signs. The woman with the fur coat shows
up wearing pantyhose underpants. Why I yeah, this family is
like a nightmare. Yeah, to travel on a plane.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
With this is the family you want to avoid whenever
you're trash. Sure, yeah, yeah, oh god yeah. So Jesse's mom,
Ireen is walking down the aisle decked out in that
fur coat and matching fur hat. She has this very
sour expression on her face. She says, whoever designed these
airplane bathrooms was not wearing pantyhose? Put you're right, why

(23:52):
is she wearing pantyhose on a flight underneath like winter wear?
Like this doesn't make any sy you know it.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Maybe it's kind of an old school thing. I feel
like I feel like pantyhose were something that maybe that
was like more that generation. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, they get I mean they like get up and
get ready and get dressed, even for like travel days.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
She's wearing a fur HOAt for coat. My god, I
can't talk a fur coat and hat on the like
she is. Yes, maybe she's very cold, she's very very
very cold, like I needed layers.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know where are So Jesse is
in the seat between his dad and his mom and
Nick starts to complain about how many grandsons are going
to be at the reunion. None of them be in
his Wait a minute, why are the Caazopola grandparents going
to the Tanner family reunion in Colorado? Is it just
like they're just really?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Was their former in laws?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I get? Okay, yeah, they were married for like ten tens.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
They wanted to be with Jesse for the holiday, and
he was going to support Danny on his first Christmas
without pan.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh no, I think this is Christmas Sex second season.
I'm assuming it's a second Christmas. But it's still nice
that he's.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Been so maybe and then they went I don't.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Know, Okay, well that makes sense. I assume they know
the Tanner side, But I was just like, why are
they now?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Was their extent laws? Maybe they were like, oh, I
mean they you know, they're going to be supportive, Okay, yes,
going to be supportive.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
And Irene's going to show off her fur hat and
her fur coat and her panty.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Right, She's just right, She's going to make a scene.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Right, So Irene chimes in and tells Nick to stop
pestering Jesse about grandsons at least wait until he is married.
And then she leans in and says, by the way,
when will that be? They're desperate for grandchildren. You know, goodness,
que Becky what what a what a great entrance here
for Becky?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Like how random? She just shows up and Becky's there.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
The cat's apple, I are there, like everybody's on this flight.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Did we know that Becky was going or no? I
couldn't quite It was she just walked on the plane.
Was like, what are you doing here?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
It was one of those sitcom coincidences where it's right, oh, okay,
she just happened to be on this flight going to
Nebraska with a detour to Colorado.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Got it right right now, Like I get it. Look,
everyone's on the on the plane.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
You know. Got to make the storyline work. Gotta make
the storyline where Becky he just walks in and everyone's
very excited to see her. Danny, of course, takes this
opportunity to turn the video camera on her face and says, oh,
it's my co host, Rebecca Donaldson. He asks her to
say something to the viewers and she says, Hi, viewers,
I bet Danny is making this tape so he can
write off his vacation. See, everyone's just kind of pointing

(26:39):
out the obvious here, you know, a man.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
So Jesse gets up from his seat and says he
is surprised to see her. He suggests the two of
them could slip away and go skiing or something. She
thanks him for asking, but she's just changing planes in Denver.
She's going home to Nebraska for Christmas. Jesse responds, Oh,
you know, I've always wanted to ski in nebra.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Which is is funny because Nebraska is very flat.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's very flat. That's what I was thinking. I think
there's snow, but it's the middle of Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
For those of you maybe that don't live in the
country or don't know why that, Yeah, there's no you
can stand on a six foot ladder in the middle
of Nebraska and see the whole steam three hundred miles Yeah, exactly,
Like it's just very flat farmland. So yeah, when Jesse's like,
I've always wanted to ski in Nebraska, that's.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like, oh, je maybe he meants cross country skiing on
the flat.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
The flat, Yeah, that would be about it. That would Yeah,
snow shoeing would be about it.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
So Joey stands up and announces, well that was Jesse
Katzopolis striking out. Jesse looks at the video camp quarter
and says, memo to you edit that out. So then
a gentleman comes up to DJ, very perturbed, accusing her
of sitting in his seat. I've got one be child,
he says, and DJ responds back, no, I have one

(27:59):
be adult. She's just snapping back with those right remarks,
and Danny apparently has one bee also as well, and
the stewardessy is like, well, I guess we assigned three
people to the same seat.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Whoops.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
You know, not much has changed, and aery was good
to know that that hasn't improved and actually gotten worse.
It's actually gotten a lot worse. Yeah, they still overbooked
flights all the time. Oh yeah, So the angry gentleman
complains that he reserved his seat three months ago and
he will be sitting there. The stewardess mentions having two
openings in first class, and the anger man quickly changes

(28:35):
his mind. She says to him, oh no, no, no,
you reserved that seat three months ago, and that's where
you're going to sit mm hmm to Shay angry Man.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, that's it, that's what you get.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Mm hmmm. So the flight attendant offers the seats to
DJ and Stephanie, and Stephanie says, okay, what is first class?
And DJ explains it is a magical land where people
sit in seats as big as sofas and eat shrimp cocktail.
Stephanie excitedly says, okay, let's get out of this dump.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
And the girls are off, and I'm sure first glass
was like, oh great, two kids, two kids, unaccompanied, right too,
unaccompanied miners in first class?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yay? Right? Doesn't get better than that. So we cut
to some stock footage of a generic airplane flying through
the sky, and then we continue back inside the airplane.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Well, you have to make sure and let everyone know
we are in a plane that is in the sky.
In case you were wondering, it's later that day.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
We are in flight currently, is right. So the flight
attendant asked Danny if he enjoyed his dinner, and he responds, well,
the liver wasn't bad. She corrects him, you had the chicken, sir.
He grimaces and says, oh, well, then that was awful.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Then you probably have food poisoning can and this is
just getting stuck in an airport is gonna be the
least of your problems.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Right, where's the nearest bathroom?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
That's the main cone.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
DJ and Stephanie walk through the curtains. First class is
so rad. We had lobster and ice cream Sundays. What
did you guys have, Joey answers, we had the liver
in a chicken suit. No, not good, not good, not good.
So Becky comes up behind the girls to bring them
back to first class. It's the pilot's birthday and they're

(30:15):
cutting the cake. Boy, it doesn't get better than this, man,
does it? No, I mean lobster ice cream.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Haven't you ever seen the giant parties that are thrown
on a like hour and a half light from San
Francisco to Colorado.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's a lot of eating. That's a lot of eating.
It can't be more than an hour and a half. No, right, no,
so didn't have to fly Yeah, just right across, so yeah,
I know it's yeah, all they're doing is eating lobster,
ice cream and cake the whole flight, basically.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
In one bowl.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
In one bowl.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Actually it was lobster ice cream. Sundays, Yeah, very off
on guard.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
So gross. So we cut to the Kutsoppola and Nick
is telling Jesse how wonderful Becky is and how they
would make a great couple. Jesse explains how well he's tried,
but she just wants to be friends. He admits that, well,
she's one of those girls that you know, her career
comes first. Nick replies, well, I understand that girl's lib stuff,

(31:11):
but uh, you gotta tell him who's boss. Jesse's mom
butts in and says, I didn't hear that.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
We see that the apple has not fallen far from
the misogyny tree.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Got okay, right, come on, you guys, like there's so
many wonderful things about Becky.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
I was like, the girls lib stuff, the girl's lib die.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Nah, I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Anyway, Yes, it all makes sense now why Jesse is
the way rip those pantyhose off and just wrap him
right around his neck.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay. So then Danny asks Jesse to hold up Michelle
because he wants to get a shot of her little
junior pilot wings. Jesse sits her on top of the
seat and Michelle looks down coolly saying hey man to
the angry man, he responds, kid, you see, I'm trying
to work here.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
He's working on a very punky, on a laptop computer
that it for the time was I'm sure state of
the art for sure.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Oh yeah, but like what was he doing? Well? It
looked very prehistoric. It was just a clunky piece of
machinery like it was there was right, and the screen
like flipped up.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It was basically like if you took like your computers
like thing that was sitting on the desk, which was
still a giant thing, and just put a smaller screen
on it that flipped up.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
It looked like a cash box with like a yeah
screen that just popped out. Or it was just boxy
and weird.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
And I was like, what are you doing on the
plane with that? You can't you don't you don't have
Wi Fi? Are you just typing a receipt a typing
a docum? I mean, I guess what. Maybe he's typing
a I don't.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Know, I don't know what. He's very angry, just typing
out his feelings. Yeah, exactly, he's just getting all of
his emotions out because he's stuck on this plane with
this dang family.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Right, yeah, and it's so obnoxious sitting the kid on
the thing. I would be losing my night. Oh yea,
I'd be like, I want a refund.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I don't don't blame him for being this this cranky.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I don't blame him either.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Danny tries to get Michelle's attention, but she's too focused
on this gentleman's hair. She pets the top of it,
saying kitty. She slowly pulls off what turns out to
be a tupe. An angry man freaks out. Danny apologizes, saying,
Michelle really loves animals. Like that doesn't make it better?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Make it better? Yeah, I'd be like, oh, I'm sorry, sir,
she loves the animal that you have taped to your head.
Why do kids always do that? Though? If your kids,
I remember my kids, you'd be out somewhere and they'd
be like, oh, look at the man with the thing,
and you're like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes, they always say no filtering. They just say whatever.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
They're like, but it's true, and you're like, well, I oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, they always do that. They always yeah. Felicity was
obsessed with when she was little, like three years old.
She was obsessed with parachute time from Jimberree. So she'd
go up to people with skirts and want to like.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh no, tie, yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Wow. You know, you know, having teenagers, maybe it isn't
so bad after all, because at least we're past that phase,
the parachute time, I hope, so.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Or a whole other issue. Yeah, but wow, yeah, no,
that's always fun.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
So we hear Michelle start to cry, even though Mary
Kate is clearly not crying at all. So Jesse kind
of turns her so you can't see her face anymore, right,
and Jesse Sue tries to soothe her by singing her
favorite lullaby. He starts singing the Girl from Ipanima by
Stan Getz.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Everyone's everyone's favorite songs, the I mean, who doesn't love
a good boss? And Nova Lullaby you know, I mean,
great song, but just that's Michelle's favorite lullaby about a
girl in a baby.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
It was a weird choice. It was a weird choice,
but you know, when you're desperate with a crying child
on a.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
It is a great, mellow little song. It's a bop
but yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
And then everyone sings along too. I don't know how
he gets all these passengers to comply, but he does.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
I don't remember. I guess that was a very popular song.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Or or everyone's just desperate to get this child to
stop crying, so like, fine, we'll sing along, right, just
to get her to calm down. So the flight attendant
gets on the loudspeaker and announces that there is a
heavy snowstorm in the Rocky Mountain area, so they will
be making an unscheduled landing. Everyone groans at this news,
and she responds, sorry if I bummed you out.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Wait, but where are they landing in the Rocky Mountains
if it's not Denver?

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Right, That's what I was thinking. Clearly, these riders are
not from Colorade.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
I mean, I know the Rocky Mountains are large. I'm
not saying that, but.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Like they're in Colorado in they can't land in the mountains.
They have to land at the airport, right, does that
would be.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Denn This is obviously a large plane. You got three
seats and three seats a big one. Yeah, it's like
a seven fortye take a little regional airport, which is
what this looks like. I don't know, I'm just saying it.
I was like, where are you landing in the Rocky
Mountains if you're not landing in Denver?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah, it's very nondescript. You notice that the airport does
not have any signage or you know, you don't know
where they're right, right, right, it's yeah anywhere. Yeah, clearly
this was written by writers who live in California and
don't live in the Rocky Mountain region.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
I mean, you know, and again you're like, I don't know, whatever,
don't think about it too much, and then you give
it thirty some odd years and people think.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
About it now. We're thinking. Now we're doing a podcast
thinking about all these things.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Right, yeah, now I'm overthinking everything, including why the Tanners
landed here.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
The next scene, we are in the airport baggage claim
and the family runs inside after landing. Snow is covering
their heads and their clothes. The flight attendant gets everyone's attention,
telling everyone, due to this totally incredible blizzard, the flight
will remain grounded until morning. Stephanie screams, what did you say?

(36:57):
And the stewardess continues, so let me be the first
to wish you yours a very merry Christmas. She's just
so like cordial and just you know, put on a
happy face one.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh just someone someone would have thrown something. It just yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
So Danny looks heartbroken, saying that he has spent months
planning this reunion and now they're gonna miss it. DJ
asks we're gonna spend Christmas in an airport. Stephanie says
she knew they never should have gone on this trip,
adding Santa will never find us now. She walks over
to an empty, hard plastic y airport seat to sold.

(37:35):
We cut to a sad commercial break, and then we
are right back at the airport. Stephanie is pleading on
the payphone in a phone booth.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
This is so great, right in a payphone in a
phone booth, Like it's just screams eighties.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
So many things about this, Oh my gosh, Stephanie pleads
on the payphone operator. If Santa is not listed, then
give me the number for missus Claus. Hello, Hello, how
rude and she hangs up rude In there, I love it.
Stephanie runs over to the group looking for help on
how to get Santa on the phone. DJ assures her

(38:09):
family that she'll handle this one. She says, I know
how to talk to kids come here, shrimp. The angry
gentleman then walks up to Joey and asks, is your
tribe sitting here? Joey says yes, and the man responds, well,
then I'm sitting way over there. He's so petty. I
kind of love him.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
A very smart move. I kind of love him. I'm
kind of smart. Pet I'm sorry you hear, I'm not
going to be because yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Didn't need to announce this, like he could have just no,
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
He is the in person version of people who announce
that they're leaving your social media pick. You're like, you
didn't need to tell me about you, right, You're like
you could have just gone, But he was like, I'm
going to let you know that I'm not sitting near you,
which you know, okay.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I love the fund sir, the passive aggressiveness, like kids,
just you and your little cat go sit over there
on you know, your gigantic computer and whatever you're doing. Yeah,
oh yeah, you take you in your kiddy tupe and
just go follow in your go I don't know, go
go write something in MS doss or I don't know whatever. Yeah,

(39:18):
you know what I mean, Like the little blinking green cursor. Yeah,
go play so amazing you have Orgon Trail or whatever.
That's all he's doing, you know, he's playing solitaire or something.
He's not actually working, He's.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
He's playing solitary. He's playing Snake or or Orgon Trail.
And he just keeps dying of dysentery. And it's like, ah,
not again, right, that's why he's so cranky. Yeah, he's
just trying to he's trying to get to the ends,
keep dying.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
These pesky kids keep interrupting his game, right, yeah, Oh,
this guy is a vibe. So we cut to Jesse
and Nick, and Nick gestures towards Becky and tells Jesse,
look how miserable Becky looks, sitting there all alone. He
encourages Jesse to go comfort her. He says, times of
crisis always bring people together. Trust me, I met your

(40:07):
mother the day Elvis got drafted. Jesse says, back, Pop,
that's taken advantage. Then he packs the idea for a
second and says, oh, well you know what that might
actually work.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
I mean it, well, he was right the first time.
He was right. The instincts are there to not be
a scumbag, but He's like, you know, why not? Yeah,
quickly of course corrected, right. Let me go make your
emotional state work to my advantage. That's, you know, by
making out with me because you're sad.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
The Cazopolis men never changed and never change. Yeah. So
Jesse runs over to sit with Becky, asking how she's doing.
She admits that moving to San Francisco has made her homesick.
She was really looking forward to spending Christmas with her family.
Jesse mentions, well, I'm sure my parents would like to
think of you as part of my family. Becky blows

(40:59):
right past this remark. He says that she hasn't.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yeah, and she didn't even blink. Ten kids. Becky comes
from a family with ten kids.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Oh yeah, you know who knew who we.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Never meet at the or see at the wedding by
the way, Oh you're right.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
They were always pissed that she moved to San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah. They they never forgave her for they were.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Married, Jess.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
They never forgave her for that one Christmas that she
didn't make it. Yeah, they were like, that's it.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
They excommunicated from the family right.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Here, never to be seen again. Yep. Yeah. So Becky
says that she hasn't seen her family in a really
long time, and her brother has mentioned that Janice has
really blossomed. Jesse asks, oh, Janis, is that your sister?
And Becky responds, no, my cow. She excuses herself to
go call home. So Jesse's dad walks over and says,

(41:47):
what happened, and Jesse sadly replies, Well, she went to
go call her cow. I love that the cow's what
if it was.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
One of those little cute many cows that's you know,
furry and like a lovely pet.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, we've already seen her milking Marilyn the goat. You
know she loves her farm animals.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
She likes her farm animals better than creepy dudes.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yes she does. I mean he's got a priority. Straight.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Gotta come better than that, Jesse, Gotta come better than that.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Yeah, gotta do better. So Danny asks Joey where the
bag of presence is and Joey doesn't know. The bag
hasn't come in yet. Danny grows more concerned they lost
the bag of presents. What are we gonna do? Joey
suggests that they look for it, and Danny admires, oh,
you are so good under pressure. DJ is comforting stuff

(42:34):
about Christmas and is guaranteeing that she will get the
roller skates she asked for. Stephanie asks how she can
be sure, and DJ tells her, well, Rudolph, the red
nose Reindeer will find you because his nose is radar.
Stephanie's confusion is alleviated. All these years, I thought it
was just a headlight. Who no, no, no, that thing

(42:55):
is beautiful. It is modern day GPS. So Danny asks
joe if he's had any luck finding the Presence yet,
and Joey shakes his head Nope, nothing yet. Steph runs
over to Danny, saying she has good news. DJ explained it.
Sanna will get here with the Presence because Rudolph has
red nose radar. Danny thinks fast, admitting that red nose

(43:16):
radar doesn't always work in heavy snow. Steph asks if
that means that Sanna isn't coming, and Danny tells her, well,
he'll find you in a couple of days if he
doesn't show up here. Stephanie is upset, but it's not
the same. It won't be Christmas morning, and she goes back.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
She goes back, told me that this is all about
my happiness.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Right.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
The whole thing rides on her happiness, about my happiness.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
And then he's not delivering yet. Steph has a right
to be upset. It's true, and she goes right back
to her phone booth, her phone booth of comfort. Right.
I still like small spaces. They're they're cozy, you know.
She was like, let me just lock myself in this
little phone booth, in that room with all those people,
the grumpy man, the Tanner family, the cam in in
their misogyny. I do. She's like too, I would too.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Steph is like, get me away from the you know
what this is just never mind. I'm gonna go sit
in a phone booth. Relatable yep.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
But DJ's confused. She tells Danny, I had her all
cheered up and then you bummer out big time. Danny
tells DJ, well, she's old enough to hear the truth.
It admits that the airline lost their bag with all
the Christmas presents. DJ freaks out, what no presence? You
mean they lost my new CD player? Danny asks, how

(44:31):
did you know you were getting a CD player? DJ says, oh,
did I say CD player? But then she starts to
turn angry. Stephanie was right, we never should have gone
on this trip. This is the worst Christmas ever. Danny
announces to his family that this isn't going well and
asks any ideas. Jesse's mom shakes Joey's blue bag and

(44:52):
they all.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Smile because the jingling doesn't give it away.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Jingling doesn't give it away, right, And you.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
Know, I gotta say, like, Danny's like, what are we
gonna do? What do we can't find the presence? I'm like,
didn't you just organize an entire Tanner family reunion in Colorado?
And now you don't know what to do when the
bag got lost?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah, you know it's He's you know what, I think
maybe Danny's sometimes under pressure panics.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
We all do. We all have, we all do, and
that's on brand for him to panic and be like, ah,
what do we do? What do we do? So you know,
it's understandable.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
All of this is writing on stefanists. Steph sits in
a Steph sits in a phone booth. Right, Joey does
an impression. I guess he just tries to make out
with something. All handling trauma are in our own way right.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yep, everybody's on brand. Uh. So we continue in the
in the airport lounge. Here Michelle is staring at the
man with the tupe, saying kitty. The man whips his
head around and holds onto his hair for dear life.
Then Joey, who's dressed as Santa Claus, comes up behind Stephanie.
Stuff is so relieved that Santa has found her. He

(46:01):
wishes the entire airport a Merry Christmas, and they all
yell Merry Christmas. Right back. Santa takes a seat and
tells Steph to sit on his knee, and she is
ecstatic that he knows her name. Stephanie tells him she
has tried so hard to be good this year. Santa says, well,
I know that you've been cleaning your room and making

(46:21):
your bed. Steph adds hospital corners. She's so proud. Yes,
Santa also knows that Stephanie ate that last slice of
cold pizza that Joey was saving for breakfast. Stephanie is shocked.
You do know everything.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Apparently Joey's still holding onto that little resentment.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yeah, he's not letting that go. He's like, yeah, and
by the way, coal for you because you ate the
last pizza. So Sana also knows that she's been very
kind to her family and friends. He adds, little girls
like you make the world a lot better place. Oh.
Grandma Irene places Michelle on Santa's lap. He says ho

(47:03):
ho ho to Michelle, and Michelle responds, ho ho, Joey,
we don't the jig is up Stephan's man. Stephanie tries explaining, no, Michelle,
that's not Joey, that's Santa claus See and she pulls
down his beard. Stephanie's shocked.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
It is Joey, she.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Yells, and she quickly gets off his lap. Oh man.
Stephanie is furious, what a mean trick, and she tries
to run away. Danny catches by her own delusion. Fool
but just unwilling to see the truth. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Danny catches her and tells her, well, Santa can't be
everywhere at once, so Joey is one of Santa's helpers.

(47:42):
Steph doesn't believe this and insists that they don't try
to make her feel better. She stomps back to her
emotional support phone booth.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, She's like, don't patronize me. I'm not an idiot.
I mean, although she didn't see it was Joey Michelle did.
But whatever, she you know, again blinded by her own delusion.
But she's like, fool me once. Shame on you, fool
me twice. I'm going back to my phone booth.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Yeah, that'll blame her. Now, what is this like as
a six year old doing this scene? Then? How do
they explain to you that, Okay, this is still acting
like you know.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Because well, because everyone knows that Santa has representatives. Oh okay,
so you go to different places and so obviously some
people dress up as Sanna, but that doesn't mean they're
the real Santa. Just like the mall Santa isn't the
real Santa representative?

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Right, Okay, so this didn't ruin the magic for six
year old Jody as believing a Santa. You were just like,
this is just all about the representatives.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
What about forty two year old man?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Oh wait, what, Sanna's still real? Right? This is just
a representative. Okay, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Just a representative that is there. Anyone can dress up
as Sanna, the real Sanna. You know, he's busy, he
sticks to himself.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yes, he's up in his own emotional support phone booth
up in the north.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Or or so you'd think, or so you'd think.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
So Grandpa Gazopolis concludes that this is has been a
rotten Christmas.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
DJ emphasize, thanks Nick for thanks Grandpa obvious, you know
what I mean, Like, way to go, way to bring
everybody up. Well, this has been crap, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Don't tryl the situation. Just comment about how crappy it is.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeahs mixed.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
DJ's still upset that the presents are lost, Joey's upset
that he's broken Stephanie's heart, and Becky is said that
she won't get to see her family or her cow.
Danny announces that this is all his fault. If it
wasn't for me, we'd be spending Christmas at home instead
of in a baggage claim. A soft music begins to

(49:47):
swell as Jesse chimes in, I.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Feel a Christmas speech you coming? As you know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Yeah, like change it.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Having having done Christmas movies now we know it's were
like ooh ooh, I can my my Christmas? Tingly sense
starts getting You're like this this is a moment for
town motivation.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Oh yeah, it's the Christmas. It's Jimmy Stewart rolling over
in his grip.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Exactly it is. Yes, that's exactly what it is. I
was like, this is the it's a wonderful life moment.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
It totally is. So Jesse begins his speech, what is
the matter with you people? The first Christmas was in
a manger? They did, okay, I mean, so what if
we're stuck in this crummy dump. Christmas isn't about presents
or Santa Claus or cows. It's about a feeling. It's
about people. It's about us forgetting about our problems and
reaching out to help other people. Christmas doesn't have to

(50:40):
happen in one certain place. It happens in our hearts.
So if you think about it, we could have Christmas anywhere,
even in a baggage claim. Oh it's such a good speech,
you know. It got it got to me. I was like,
this is he's got a point. Yeah, Christmas sund So
it's a feeling you carry in your heart. It is
happy Holidays. It is from a baggage claim. He's the

(51:04):
polar opposite of Nick, who's just like that's Christmas sucks, right.
Nia is like this sucks, right, Jesse is Jimmy Stewart
reincarnated here, right, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
He's like an angel is getting at the every time
an angel or a bell rings, right, That's why they
keep shaking the bag. Clarence has come.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
So many angels are getting their wings in this episode,
so many. So Jesse's really getting into this. He asks
dj what she sees near the wall. She tells him
a coat rack, but Jesse corrects her, No, no, he
sees a big, beautiful Christmas tree. And we're not asking
why there's a coat rack in a baggage claim at
an airport? Right, who hangs up their coat?

Speaker 1 (51:46):
A hat rack?

Speaker 2 (51:47):
At?

Speaker 1 (51:48):
What's a hat rack and a thing?

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:50):
I mean I've never seen a movable hat rack.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
In a in a in a baggage claim where you're
not really.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Then again, I've also never looked at a hat rack
been like a Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
So you know it's the joke has to work. The
joke has work. So there we got a hunter, you
have to Yeah. So then Jesse asks Joey what he
sees over there. Joey tells him vending machines, but no,
Jesse sees a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
So at this point everything's covered and that's not I I.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Could go for that. You know, it's not a bad
not a bad appetizer for Christmas. Dinner's corn.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
I have a weird thing with cornuts. I think it
was like a thing that like all the boys in
my like elementary school, like fifth or sixth grade class
used to eat and they always smelled like, oh, weird
ranch cor nuts, and I just it's a it's an aversion.
Now I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Okay, well, core core memory there, all right, you don't
want to have corn nuts for Christmas? Got it? So
the point that Jesse's trying.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Nuts roasted over an open flyer, sorry, cornuts.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Roasty an open fire. It's a hat.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Decorated to be trees.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Okay, we're just gonna butcher all the Christmas carols full house.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Style, only I had a phone booth.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
So the point Jesse's trying to make is that they
can give these kids the best darn Christmas they've ever had.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Jesse starts might be an exaggeration. I don't know about
the best Christmas they've ever had, not so crappy.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah, they can make it like two percent less crappy.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Is the point?

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Really? Jesse starts to sing with excitement, getting everyone in
the bad claim to sing sleigh ride with him.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Can you imagine you're stuck in an airport and this
yahoo starts singing Christmas carols? I really, sir, this entire
family needs to stop. Okay, you're making a sing now
and you're and you're making us have what if there's
someone in there? It's like, I don't even celebrate Christmas, right, No,
these are just point.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I just think like these poor passenger, It's just these
poor passengers are like stuck at an airport with these people.
They thought there were problem was the crying baby. Oh no, no, no,
no no, it's Dan family. It's a montage, is what
it is. It's a musical mind.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
I have no idea that they're in for just a
nightmare Christmas montage while stuck in his airport.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
It's so ridiculous and I love it. So Danny grabs
Stephanie from the phone booth and a grin slowly starts
to spread across her face.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Didn't want to sh.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
The camera cuts toill later in the night, with everyone
sound asleep except for Michelle. Michelle switches the conveyor belt
to the on position, which moves Danny while he sleeps
right through bent.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
It's so funny, just yeah, just totally right out there.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
And then she says she waves him and says bye Daddy,
like she's not even concerned that she just sent her
father to god knows where in the the right of
the airport. She doesn't care. The audience is loving this too.
Jesse wakes up and grabs Michelle and whispers Merry Christmas
to her. Then he very abruptly turns on the very
bright lights to wake everyone else up.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
What I was like, why are you? You're like the
worst kid on Christmas morning? And all these people like
I finally fell asleep in my plastic chair in an airport, right,
and again this idiot is waking us all up. Yeah,
it's the worst.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
It's so nobody wants to wake up like that on
any morning, much less Christmas morning, much less aboard.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Right, come on this yeah true, right?

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Right. So Stephanie, who clearly has not been asleep, she's
she's already awake, and she shouts, it's Christmas in an airport.
Oh darn. DJ sees the makeshift Christmas tree and she
loves it. She says, you know what, it doesn't matter
that there are no presents. Then Danny slowly rolls in
on the con bay or belt, covered head to toe

(56:02):
in snow. No one can tell exactly what it is,
so Joey tells everyone to stand back, he'll handle it.
Then he whispers to Jesse to go see what it is.
Jesse reports that it's only Danny, who somehow is still
fast asleep even though he's covered in snow.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Over it in snow. Yeah, I was that was impressive.
I was like, Danny is a very sound, sleep heavy.
I mean, maybe he took yeah, maybe maybe he was
like I can't sleep. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Maybe maybe he took a sleep aid or something.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
He was like yeah something, and he was like, I'm
we almost lost Danny to hypothermia.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Nobody's concerned. Nope. Yeah, So Jesse remarks, well, he's probably
just dreaming of a white Christmas. Danny sits up, covered
and very obviously fake snow, and sarcastically says very fun.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Which I was like, what, I'm trying to remember what
that's made out? And it's like shredded plastics.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Shredded plastic. Yes, it's not cold, it's not it's just yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Just shredded plastic, shredded little bits of like white plastic.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
It never melts, it just thin the paper. Yeah, it
sticks to your hair, it like sticks everywhere. I think
they make it out of something different. Now, oh yeah,
well it's a little more believable now. And now it's
like that foam like that, right.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
If it's like actually falling, but if it's on I
don't know, some.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Sort of foam cut out things from Joanne's fabrics.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I don't know right from yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
So Danny shivers as he gets up, and Becky insists
on getting him some hot coffee to warm him up.
Nick points to Becky and asks Jesse, what do you
see over there? Jesse responds, I see Becky by the
coffee machine. But Nick has a different observation. I see
a woman waiting to be kissed under the mistletoe Nick.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Who just doesn't know when to quit.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Why is Nick so obsessed with this match making? Like,
come on, give it a break, Grey, you'd be like, bro.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
I see an old man that needs to settle down.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
He's what I see. Like. Look, I like Becky just
as much as the next person. But he needs to
just call it Becky too.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
But she's getting a damn coffee like she's not even
just minding her own business.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Nick. She's made it clear she wants to be friends.
So let it rest. Nick, come in. It's so creepy.
So Nick says that the first time he kissed Irene,
it was under the mistletoe and it lasted until New
Year's Man. These Kszopolists men, they are just they're just
revving their engines all night long. Nick emphasizes there are

(58:29):
two things that Cassopolists men are known for, kissing and
great hair, and they both stroke their hair back in agreement.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
I feel like that's selling yourself short, if that's all
that you're known for, you know what I mean? I
feel like there's bigger things.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
But that's all. They're boys, That's all that's important to them,
kissing and great hair, like what else matters in life?
You know it's true. So Jesse walks up to Becky
at the coffee machine and wishes her a merry Christmas.
She tells him it's so nice to be with his
family on Christmas, and he tells her he's happy to
be with her as well. He shows Becky that they're
standing under the missletoe. She's hesitant, and he says he

(59:05):
knows she just wants to be friends, but he emphasizes
what he emphasizes, Well, it is a Christmas law to
kiss under the missletoe. Becky says, well, I am a
law abiding citizen and leans in for a kiss, which
then turns into a full blown makeout session.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Because it does because you're they're in a public place,
which apparently is really I like, sort of a thing
for everyone else.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Should just be like an aphrodisiac. For Jesse, is just
a kiss in front of people.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
And everyone's like, oh, I just love making out, having
my first kiss in front of public places, and particularly
in front of my parents.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
In front of parents, in front of his nieces. It's
like in front of the angry man.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Everybody's watching this, everybody in front of the coffee machine.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
He doesn't care. Yeah, he does not care.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
I mean it's our first Jesse Becky kiss.

Speaker 2 (59:56):
Though, So we have, Oh that's true, a moment, Give
this a moment. Deserves a moment, this moment, but but
it is. Yeah, and they do have a ton of chemistry.
I mean they they they still got it. You know,
for thirty six years they've had great chemistry and it
all started with this kiss. So this is all started
in a moment. Yep, all started a bad claim by

(01:00:18):
the coffee machine.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
So Jesse's parents happily watch this kiss, which is just weird.
Becky pulls away and Jesse mutters have mercy. So Becky
walks away, and then a random older lady comes up
to Jesse and plants a kiss.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Right all him now just being assaulted by some random
woman in an airport.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
What is happening? Like, where did she come from?

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Why did she Why?

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Was I like, is that the red out? Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
What's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
The red hair really threw me? The red hair off.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I was like, whoa the balls on this woman to
just be like, Okay, I'm gonna snatch this man up
under the mistletoe.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Yeah, She's just like it's a free for all. He's
kissing people's in her missiletoe.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
She's like, you know what, he has been annoying me
with his singing and it's turning light on and you
know what, he's cute. So I'm just gonna make him uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Just his payback for the Christmas speech and the singing Caroline.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
You want to do all this annoying crap me too,
and just yeah, and then assaults him and walks away.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I can't. I kind of admire her for this, you know,
the balls on this woman, she's.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Rights, just the audacity of her. After you just saw
him kiss someone, How do you know they're.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Not to get what she thought? It was like, I
don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
I'm an old lady. I mean, she's not an old lady. Well, no,
she's just.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Older than Jesse.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Old.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
She's just older than Jesse, which makes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Me, I guess you can just do that in airports
when you get older. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Hey, when you're older, you don't care, you know, nfgs,
you just go up and kiss people you want to.
I don't know. It was the eighties. Anything goes, you know, right, Yeah, okay,
So this, uh, this redheaded lady looks very pleased with
herself after she's done kissing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
She had a great time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
She's had a great time. And Jesse falls back into
the phone booth with a little smile creeping onto his face. Though,
you know, all of a sudden, Santa walks in Belton
a ho ho ho. Stephanie doesn't react and says hi, Joey.
But Joey's right behind her and says hi, Steph. Her
eyes grow very wide and she gets very excited. Santa

(01:02:23):
comes up to Stephanie, wishing her a Merry Christmas. She
hesitantly asks, wait a minute, are you really Santa. He
tells her to give his beard a tug, and she does,
exclaiming it's a real beard. Then she screams stutters that
means that means, that means you're really Santa Claus. Oh,
Steph is so exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Real beards are the there's like you know, Santa representatives,
but the ones with the real beards, like they go
higher up in the organization, is what I think.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Okay, that's how the that's how the pecking order goes
if you have a real beard. By the way, right there, I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Actually again with me and the random fi acts, what
there is There was a union of Santa's what there's
a Santa forget when this? There was a Santa union
and there was a there there and I was reading
something about what was it? And somewhere along the line
there was then another union that started because they only

(01:03:19):
wanted to accept people with real beards, and then the
other and there was like a standard in the two
Santa unions somewhere anyway, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
What is happening? Wow, talk about taking the fun out
of Christmas's right. Santa started by this angry guy. That's
all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
This angry, this angry Santa guy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
He's leading the charge.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
He is, He's leading the real beard charge. He's like, no,
this has to be real or nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
He is. So Santa flicks his hand in the air
and we hear a magical noise as suddenly the conveyor
belt moves and the presence appear.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Covered in snow, covered in snow.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Yep, fresh from the fresh from the belly of the plane,
here they come. The girls were fresh Santa's sleigh. Oh
oh that's right, that's right. The girls rush over in excitement,
thanking Santa. The magical noise happens again, and Santa disappears.
Danny whispers to Joey, oh, he probably went to change
out of your Santa costume. But Joey shakes his bag

(01:04:16):
that has the jingles and the costume in it, saying,
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
That's why we have to have the bag that makes
noise because we have to be able to quickly draw
attention to the fact that the costume.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Is in the bag. Yes, that's that's the reason for
the jingle noise is Yes, just to let everybody know that, hey,
this was not Joey or his costume. So Jesse grabs
everyone's attention when he shows them a computer screen that
reads Merry Christmas. Ho Ho Ho. They all shake their
heads in disbelief, and Steph runs over, saying she saw

(01:04:50):
Santa Claus flying away. Jesse gives an eyebrow raise to
the family, asking you think, dj says she doesn't know
what to think, but admit, all I know is this
turned out to be a great Christmas. She runs over
to open the presence, but Steph stays by the computer.
The screen changes with a magical sound, now reading thanks

(01:05:12):
for the maps, Stephanie. Stephanie smiles and says back, You're welcome, Santa. Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
It's such a such a cute little moment at the
end it is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I loved it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
I wonder how many hours someone spent writing the code
to make that little because I remember doing that in
like seventh grade computer class. You would make like little
things like that and yeah, it was like entering a hole.
You could just use like the spare bar and the
tab and then you create the digital arts. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:05:43):
it was great, so great for early late eighties. That
was high tech.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Oh so high tech. This is yes, very very impressive
in the future. So Danny encourages Stephanie to come over
and open the presence with everyone. As they all sing
Christmas carols, a sweet message appears over the screen saying,
happy Holidays from our family to yours, and that is

(01:06:08):
our show, our very first Christmas show. Yay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
And it ends with singing family's opening presence, and all
the other families are just sitting there watching.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Well, they're probably just relieved that the family's busy. You know,
they're not read that's true. There's like, get these people out.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Of our if we sing this song, they shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Everyone's just waiting their turn to go sit in the
emotional support phone booth right quiet.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
I'd like to call my family please, And they're like,
I'm sorry, there's this. My six year old child's in
there throwing a fit. Yeah, having a meltdown. You can't
call your family on.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Christmas, sorry, but all but I do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
I love this it's just a very cute episode.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Oh, very cute, the first of many wonderful Full House
Christmas episodes. It's just heartwarming. And we presume that the
angry man was playing Santa, right, I mean we were
reading messages on his computer. He wasn't in the room
when Santa was in the room, so I assume it
was it was boss Hog who who was playing Santa Claus? Right? No? Yeah, okay, Well,

(01:07:14):
I'm just saying I just want to point out the obvious,
because they don't. They didn't actually like obviously point it out.
It was very subtle for a sitcom, did It was
subtle for a sitcom. Usually they bang you over the
head with those those obvious.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
We saw the message on his computer on the man
wasn't there, and he disappeared and said, what do you
mean it's not banging over the head with the obvious.
There was practically a sign hanging at one point. You
even see him in the foreground of a shot with
Stephanie when she's like, oh Christmas is ruined, and you
see him kind of look back and let's smirk.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
It's subtle for a six hour it is. No, we
were all.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
I mean, we didn't like see him changing into the
Santa suit. I wouldn't say subtle anywhere in this way.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
He's for a button where yeah, you see him changing
out of the suit or taking off the beards you
But the bye is that he's actually Santa Claus, which
tells me that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
The bye is that he's actually Santa Claus. But now
there's a problem with this. So is Santa just when
he's not in his Santa costume? Is he just a
cranky old man with a bad two pey?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Wait, so you're saying this is Santa disguised as angryman
boss hog? Like it's not the yes, because yes? So
why was Santa pretending to be an angry man on
a flight? Like he's got his own sleigh, Like there's
no need to be on a flight from San Francisco
to Denver that then gets delayed in the rocky mountains somewhere,

(01:08:40):
you know, like right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
And why is he there Christmas morning? He's obviously been out.
Where was he all night? I had anyone set of questions?

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Did we see him sleeping before Jesse abruptly woke everyone
up with the bright lights.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
I don't know I don't remember. I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
I don't think so. So he just left his computer
behind and went to complete his Santa duties.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
I mean, it's Santa Claus. He can get the elves
to make him another one.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
This is true. Well, and Stephanie did yank on his
beard and it did seem real. So how did he
grow this beard overnight? I have a lot of questions.
Now he's Santa Claus?

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
What he how Santa? It's just he just does. I
don't know the magic, the magic of Santa and the
magic of sitcoms. It just happens. Don't question it, and
it's that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Oh well, okay, now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
Look, this is not the thread to start pulling and
looking for for how this actually happened.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
I mean, okay, I thought maybe the angry man just
had a change of heart and he was like, you
know what, I'm gonna do something nice for once.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
And then he disappeared.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
No, he he with a magic sound and made that
whole thing that he made the presence appear.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
He did he know about the map? How do you
know about the map that Stephanie made and left at home?

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Because he was sitting in her Santa clause No, he
sitting in her airplane. See she grabbed the signs No.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Not the sign. She left the map at the house.
Remember she left the map for Santa. She said, I'm
leaving this here for him so he knows where to
find me.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Oh, she didn't take it on the airplane. That was
the the caution signed Stephanie on board, right, Okay, okay, okay,
now you got a point. How did he find the map?

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Maybe? I mean she had just put the sign up
in the window. Maybe Santa was like, I gotta get
on this plane because Stephanie's on board. Because obviously it's
all about her, because that's what Danny said in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
It's all about her happiness and enjoyment. Right. Oh okay,
this is a whole new interpretation that I was not
thinking of when I watched this episode. Wow, did you have.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Any Did you have any everywhere you look moments for
this one?

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
I do a really dumb one, but I didn't, But
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
I think I was just so distracted by all of
the Christmas and all the Christmas carols, Caroly all the Yeah,
I love that, okay where you look moment?

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
I just love all of these wonderful Easter eggs in
the airport lounge in the bad claim Christmas Christmas, Christmas
Christmas eggs that just scream nineteen eighty eight. So specifically,
I noticed the ash trays that were like those tall
cylinders colored and it has like the sand or the
gravel in the top.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Right right right at the end of every row of chairs.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Is one of these ash trays.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
And I'm like, because you could smoke any because everyone
was smoking, and it could smoke in a plane. Yes,
Like that was just I'm like, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
I forgot about all that. There's no like stand twenty
feet outside of the building and make sure you're right right, No,
just just smoke right there in the back plane. Yeah,
right there. Great such between that and the phone booth.
I was just like, this is awesome. This is so
total eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
I had a really awesome three D sweater on you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Did with presents. Everybody had epic Christmas sweaters, like there
were Christmas sweaters.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Yeah, this is the origin of ugly Christmas sweaters.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Before they were ugly, before those agains, they were always ugly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
Well, we knew that they were ugly right before we
came to the realization or most of us anyway. I'm
sure there were a lot of people that were always
like those were always ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Yeah, they are none of these. None of these sweaters
are particularly attractive, but they are festive and Step three
D presents are adorable with the ribbons on them. Oh yeah, cute,
they were great, so cute. Tanner, the Tanner family and
their ugly Christmas sweaters.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Oh yeah, man, I mean I guess you could have.
And everywhere you look moment is just a payphone. You know,
a payphone and a phone booth.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Yeah, that's like, you don't you can't find those anymore,
even if you wanted to. Those don't exist anymore. They're
like in museums. You can find them in the Smithsonian
made right. Yeah, not on an airport line. I can
tell you the last time I saw a phone booth. Nope.
My kids don't even know what they are. They're like, huh,
what is that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
What does Superman do these days?

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Hell yeah, he's he's out of places, he's out of
changing rooms.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Well, he's got a change in his self driving tesla.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
That's probably what it is. Just that the modern day.
